Electric

I'm electric... The city's alive
Unexpected... You know we can't die
When you see me...You know i can't wait
Gone completely... Before it's too late
I never do enough about it
Even when I scream and shout it
I could never let you know
I'm never gonna let it go
I think I need a new religion
I've got the soul but lack the vision
My good intentions let me down
Full of fury, now I'm making sounds
I'm electric... The world is on fire
Unaffected... Asleep on the pyre
Comin' for me... I guess it's my fate
Gotta get free... Before it's too late
I never do enough about it
Even when I scream and shout it
I could never let you know
I'm never gonna let it go
I think I need a new religion
I've got the soul but lack the vision
My good intentions let me down
Full of fury, now I'm making sounds
Just making sounds
Just making sounds
Just making sounds
I never do enough about it
Even when I scream and shout it
I could never let you know
I'm never gonna let it go
I think I need a new religion
I've got the soul but lack the vision
My good intentions let me down
Full of fury, now I'm making sounds

Static
02:57
|
|||
I saw your hair turn silver in the dim bar light
You looked a little older and I felt so wise
You struck me as someone who could get high on life
But all I want to do is instant gratify
I keep you in my pocket baby with a thousand other boys
But they are all just static
There’s no signal through the noise
Signal through the noise
Signal through the noise
And when we are much older will you hold my hand
And ask me when I plan on coming up to bed
I don’t know if it’s tenderness or jealousy
How can I tell the difference when you’re all I see?
I keep you in my pocket baby with a thousand other boys
But they are all just static
There’s no signal through the noise
Signal through the noise
Signal through the noise
Signal through the noise
Signal through the noise
Can you hear that sound?
You’re drowning me out
Can you hear that sound?
You’re drowning me out
You’re drowning me out
You’re drowning me out
You’re drowning me out
You’re drowning me out

Candelabra Light
02:31
|
|||
You want to see her in candelabra light
The satin skin
Supplicant body
Still life breathing
You want to leave her in pieces on the floor
So overcome
By your technique
She's dumbstruck
You want to see her in candelabra light
Candelabra light on
Her candy colored eyes
But you don't even try to please her
You don't even try to please her
She gets a little bit deeper into life
Than you could do
She's spiritual
She tells the truth
You can't help but take advantage of the thoughts
Well traveled scenes
Wrists in velvet
Hotel room keys
You want to see her in candelabra light
Candelabra light on
Her candy colored eyes, oh
But you don't try to please her
The swelling in your heart is just conceit
You've been adhering to your diet of spite
You're wasting away
And you wrap around her tight
But she barely even knows your name
See her burning in your mind's eye
But she won't even meet your gaze
See her spin in the sunlight
And you wish the sun would go away
You wish the sun would go away
You wish the sun would go away

Signals
04:48
|
|||
Lord, I've been away so long
I've been asleep now something's wrong
I'm still so tired but I won't quit
Cuz can't get away from it
I was right you should've known
Here in this crowd I've been alone
It's second nature first time around
While you were lost and I was found.
And no one feels the way that I do
But I think you might feel it too
Cuz when I'm with you I still believe
I'm sending signals, can you receive?
They can't stop what they just won't see
And they don't see when they look at me
You and I we can stop this now
Just take my hand and I'll show you how
Take my hand and I'll show you how
Take my hand and I'll show you how
Take my hand and I'll show you how
Take my hand and I'll show you how

Too Fast for Me
04:05
|
|||
Suspect duality, colours surrounding me, displacing reality
I'd send you a postcard. not that I'd get far, just for the memory
Not quite enamored, locked in a camera, given to fantasy
Lenticular outline, different from both sides, bring me apostasy
I'm caught in a landslide, or is it a blood tide, try to remember me
Can't breathe in this same crowd, the music is too loud, time is my enemy
It's nothing religious, it still seems suspicious, putting me on my knees
I'm watching the soundwaves go out like it's last days, can't be how it all seems
And everything always moves me
I see the end approaching
I can feel the changes coming soon
The pages keep on turning - too fast for me
Subject to strange demands, body's a wasteland, lost in its reverie
Engaged in your combat, the struggle leaves me flat, I need you to rescue me
These words are a forgery, counterfeit ecstasy, hypnotic sorcery
You know I abhor it, can't get nothing for it, lethargic philosophy
And everything always moves me
I see the end approaching
I can feel the changes coming soon
The pages keep on turning - too fast for me
The pages keep on turning
The pages keep on turning

Affliction
03:16
|
|||
You are prone to afflictions of the circulation system
All extremities as bloodless as stone
And as cold as the kitchen linoleum in winter
When the damned holidays have dragged you home
When your parents die and you come back from the city
You will peel up the edges and find hardwood underneath
And you'll scrape and plane 'til you don't know your own name
And you'll see your reflection in the ground beneath your feet
What's your affliction?
What is your affliction?
What is your affliction?
What is your affliction?
What is your affliction?
If you follow the tracks of your thoughts to the ending
What will happen to your heart when the train leaves the rails?
Will you tear up the wreckage and listen for voices,
Start pulling out the people who lived to tell?
Or would you keep on walking, leave the brokenness behind you?
Would each fresh burst of flame soothe the aching in your back?
And your poor cold blood and your disembodied head
And your knock-kneed breathing and your little heart attacks
What's your affliction?
What is your affliction?
What is your affliction?
What is your affliction?
What is your affliction?

Nature of Sound
04:24
|
|||
It's six o'clock and the neighbors won't stop, there's someone at the door
The reason he's got is something he's not and now he's lying on the floor
If he takes a look at the things that I took he'll send me climbing up the wall
While he wanders around all the patterns I found until he's looking very small... very small
I wonder about if the sky's getting out when the windows open wide
But keep it unsaid by the voice in my head while I join in for the ride
If I look around for the source of the sound I'll get caught up in my mind
But it can't be done by a pillow or gun or the things you left behind... left behind
There's never a time or a reason or rhyme to revisit yesterday
If I try to go back the future might crack until I find another way
If they keep asking me they think they can see but it always turns out wrong
the nature of sound is a rhythm I found, a beat looking for a song... for a song

Say Goodbye
04:08
|
|||
You should have told me right from the start
You never told me you came for my heart
How could a thing like this ever be
Once I was blind but now I can see
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
I could have told you you'd fail from the start
I never told you you can't break my heart
Now you'll find out, yeah, now you can see
The things that I want and you'll never be
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
It's too late to turn back now; there's nothing there anyhow
There's no more for me to say; now you should go away
Say goodbye
Say goodbye

Prize
03:41
|
|||
Oh, you can’t admit there’s something more
I know that you've tried, the things that you hide
But the trail of tears leads back to you
And I, I don’t just care about the sounds
The words that you share show there’s nothing there
But in the end the truth will come ‘round
I, I never know just where you are
I’m always alone until I’m at home
And home is anywhere, everywhere else
The ins and the outs of deception
The world that you’ve built out of lies
We’re mislead by old preconceptions
And misread by prejudiced eyes
Now, there’s nothing else that you can do
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it no more
It’s your turn now to burn to the ground
We, we don’t just need to make it right
There’s a price to be paid, a reckoning made
And your prize at the end of a gun
The ins and the outs of deception
The world that you’ve built out of lies
We’re mislead by old preconceptions
And misread by prejudiced eyes
The ins and the outs of deception
The worlds that we build out of lies
You may think that you’re the exception
But you’ll still collect on your prize

Slow
03:49
|

Oh well, you know it's up to you
Sugar, think what we could do
Can I have a question?
I'll make you smile, smile, smile, smile, smile
Sugar, sugar, you're up to my lips
Licking over everything I miss
And I got no reason
Just a slow, slow, slow, slow suck
Feeling bad, Feeling good
Feeling like I never could
Lick, lick, lick and suck, suck, suck
I want it slow, slow, slow, slow
Sugar, sugar, you're up to my lips
Place my head upon your hips
And I got no reason
You make me smile, smile, smile, smile
Well, what the hell, we're all the same
You got what I need, so I don't play no games
Sugar, think what we could do
I'll make you smile, smile, smile, smile through
Got the rush, I don't feel no shame
On top of me, you know, while I don't know your name
And I got no reason
Just a slow, slow, slow, slow, suck
