Panasonic Youth
We wrote these plans
Took the order the architecture
And followed them to the end
Until the gears ground cold and relentless
There was no remorse
We had none
We kept on with no trace of a regret
There was no remorse
I never saw any blood
No soul for the body
Watch them turn her scab
Covered skin into stone
Like a coal in the sky
Searching for the dawn
For the last time
Bloated with white eyes wide
We've come to an understanding
You lose, I profit
High noon and there ain't no secrets
No more excuses
Now our number's up
Let them lead us by the throat now
Just smile while the rope pulls tighter
Guilty is an understatement
The hourglass is never right side up
And all the time we try to tear the script up
Forgetting all the sour for the sweet
The paragraph has never been so empty
The lifeless test tube
The mother dies with infant in arms
The lifeless test tube, look what she's done
Evolution gave us a clock
That's always winding down
Evolution gave us a clock
That's always winding down
Sunshine The Werewolf
Cry your eyes bloodshot while there's still time 'cause soon it's gone and you'll be so shocked one queen-sized coffin that was built for two is your death bed it belongs to you tease me baby please me with the fresh disease hope riding on a bullet alive tonight you know we couldn't get it right come save your life tonight you know we'll never get it right don't try to swim to shore because you can't go back say three words like they're the last you'll speak curtains drop concealing appearances of heaven destroyer they'll be another just like you you're not the only one I'm not the only one watching the fallout fly back up walking where time stands still see how this love kills dropping curtains down concealing appearances of heaven without my existence you are nothing without my affection you wilt we fucked like a nuclear war release...fuck off see how I let you down watching fallout fly back up
Highway Robbery
You'd never imagine us bringing a loaded gun to the ballroom
this party is about to kick off
tonight is the wrong night
the devil's own are only starting up the first round of the fight
so hang on tight
dear mother,
the needle is jabbing the womb draw back and release this child of disease
this mob is a riot
the outlaw youth are only emptying the first round of the night
'cause everything's not alright
I suppose you thought you had our hands behind our backs
wool over our eyes
now your pulse is in my palm and you stand hands to mouth
wearing your disguise
it's pretty apparent this boy is a curse
the christ of the moment so blow him away
hey come on
and take the new number if you're next in line
then kid I got a really big fucking surprise
there won't be a next time
I suppose you thought you had our hands behind our backs
wool over our eyes
now your pulse is in my palm and you stand hands to mouth
wearing your disguise
I suppose you thought you had our hands behind our backs
wool over our eyes
now your pulse is in my palm and you stand hands to mouth
wearing your disguise
I suppose you (3x)
you put the wool over our eyes
I suppose you (3x)
you put the wool over our eyes
Van Damsel
Surprise! it's not what you thought as it runs a dead stop light you're the fool and we won't look back let's tie those ankles to the railroad don't stop to catch your breath I bet your foresight never saw this train wreck is right on time a fucking punk rock prostitute pick the open vein to shreds you should know that you're my death wish bible thumping steeple fuck you are the worst of all scum we were young and we were god far away from us now we don't want it, what you've got we don't want it and you've got<br>it she took my hand but I never took hers
Phone Home
Take fire out of heaven's clenched fist
cracks slip between my desire
to keep your broken heart bleeding
just hold tight and tell another fucking joke
to pacify the urge for suicide
you know it won't keep waiting
so say goodbye
'cause I never want to hear another word about you
and I you know...you never stop
now we started out just running
out spreading like wings
and we are one
I pulled you right out of the gutter
when I could have bee lined
we started out just running
out spreading like wings
and what were we supposed to do?
You belong to me
and what are we supposed to do?
Suck it in, spit it out
you know that two's a crowd?
Expectant mother's stillborn baby beauty
cries aloud and tries to tell you what I'm about
now don't you worry about
a little thing like this
it only hurts just a bit
I promise I'm going to take you a mile high
so don't you cry 'cause it'll just be
baby baby baby nonstop until the end of the night
so keep your mouth shut
I can tell you're a good fuck
just by the way you wear that innocent look
don't you know that enough is never enough
I made you now you are property I can't discard
We Are The Storm
Well they said we'd tear ourselves apart and it turns out they were right 'cause I've never seen you so weak and so far out of breath and I never saw the tide rise so high so fast watch this pawn capture the queen white picket drive-by gargle the stench the storm brings you'll never get enough watch this pawn capture the queen now I can't shake you but I can't take you empty skin bag you're my cum rag and now the flood gates overflow now I see that too much is not enough no this game has been playing for too long yeah you did it did you get enough? my sweet child of fire this love affair is so lost this love affair is so lost cut through the sea this pendulum swings near to me we are the storm so take your ship to port oh it's time to let it go right now it's time to let it go 'cause this feels like half a million years and I know you feel the same way I do don't you well you turned this leak into a riptide your mess - clean it up 'cause we won't be watching these stars no more no more well they said we'd tear ourselves apart and it turns out they were right
Crutch Field Tongs
(Instrumental)
Setting Fire To Sleeping Giants
First off let me say you look so tired...
Rest your head and shut your eyes
Empty ambition blankets the sky...
I'm thinking 'bout another world
Tonight
So drop the gown the game's over just push your face into the fight and it breaks my heart like dancing up all night ride so high we both start thinking 'bout another world tonight
And it feels so wrong like nothing we've ever...
Felt before
The stranger's candy takes you where you ought to be
In broken alleys, in the back of every street
Close your eyes tonight
Baby you can have it
Baby you can have it
Ooh baby gnaw me
Down to the bone
Soon you'll find I'm never gonna take you back home
Well there's so much you never told me
And there's not much I want to know
'cause your pretty face will do just fine
You'll be the star...
Of my every last show
Let's go for a long ride I'll show you places you won't ever want to leave
The stranger's candy takes you where you ought to be
In broken alleys, in the back of every street
The stranger's candy, broken alleys
Tonight we could bring it all down we could bring it all down
They think this body's a dead note dancing to the beat but they'll never see this corpse coming 'till it kills them
Baby's First Coffin
Dear God
Protect Us
Come on
Laugh this time
She stares. Forever and then some never again
Polished, Barbwire Smile. Tricks and trade
She done. So cut her again, gut her again
Dear God
Protect us
Come on
Laugh this...
Silence tells us we're damned. Silence tells us we're damned.
Jesus we've gone and done it again. Jimmy’s got a new gun in his hand
Jesus we've gone and done it again. Jimmy’s got a new gun in his hand
You’re being a liar. You’re being a liar. You’re being a liar. You’re being a liar.
How could you doubt? He would never find out
You’re being a liar. Let’s start the show. You’re being a liar. I’m ready to go.
You’re being a liar. You’re being a liar. You’re being a liar. You’re being a liar.
How could you doubt? He would never find out
You’re being a liar. Let’s start the show. You’re being a liar. I’m ready to go.
The emperor is dead. The emperor is dead. Goodbye. Don’t cry.
Die. So long. Revenge. Defend. You know we brought the crowd to us
Staking time into the gust of wind to the face.
Never returning, favors take the prison to the man.
I could promise the world if we could travel through time.
Don’t back out here. Now relax and remember the promise of the sign.
I wish you could see yourself now...you look at me like a child...
The way you glide across the room, it’s drama of seduction.
Let go of it, Repunsel. Let it down.
Aim for the signal then bring it down with a smile....now...
Become the conductor...
The way you slide across the room...how wonderful.
A connection and the last cut still bleeds as good as the first one does.
It’s just the opening seed of a new flame.
I look at you like a child but not at all like you looked at me...
Grace is already dead. Now is the time to go back. Face what you’ve done
You should never said “Yes�?.
Grace is already dead. Now is the time to go back. Face what you’ve done
Grace is already dead.
Grace is already dead. Face the master.
You should never have said “Yes�? when you really mean “No.�?
Unretrofied
<table width=430><tr><td align=center>
Is the can half diseased or is the disease half canned and is the man half machine or is the machine half man I'm unretrofied for you I'll just fake it in the end just save it for a new song and leave dead in the end time is wasted in the end wood paneled wagon carpool dragons killing me again now they're looting our holes until there is nothing left calloused intentions it seems, coward's invention at best I'm unretrofied for you jesus can't play the music 'caused he's nailed to the cross and over gnawed off feet I find that I can't walk I can't even walk we're all dead

The Perfect Design
Motions that make gods cringe running in circles
as fast as we can
take what you can 'cause now it's all over
run hot
and cold to break the skin
break the skin
and we won't take no for
an answer
for just when the door slams
the pill drops
oh my sweet unknowing partner the perfect design
the pill drops
so start the silent dance slumping silhouette
unforgiving hands harboring regret
play it just once more for old times
yeah....
you know
you know
you know you're all I ever wanted
yeah....
you know
you know
you know you're all I ever want
how we laughed when we first saw each other...
how you screamed when I saw your eyes melting...
this is the end of every rainbow
and now your face shatters
every waking second
and now your face shatters
every waking second
and now your face shatters
every waking second
