Talk Shows On Mute
Take a bow
pack on powder
wash'em out with buzzing lights
pay an audience to care
'impress me' personality
Still and transfixed
the electric sheep are dreaming of your face
enjoy you from the chemical
comfort of America
Come one, come all
into 1984
yeah, three, two, one
lights, camera, transaction
Quick, your time is almost up
make all forget that they're the moth
edging in towards the flame
burn into obscurity
Still and transfixed
the electric sheep are dreaming up your face
and judge you from the card castle
comfort of America
Come one, come all
into 1984
yeah, three, two, one
lights, camera, yeah
come one, come all
into 1984
yeah, three, two, one
lights, camera, transaction
lights, camera, transaction
Come one, come all
into 1984
yeah, three, two, one
lights, camera, transaction
Your foundation is canyoning
fault lines should be worn with pride
I hate to say so much moreyou're so much more
endearing with the sound turned off
Megalomaniac
I hear you on the radio
you permeate my screen, it's unkind but
if I met you in a scissor fight
I'd cut off both your wings on principle alone
on principle alone
Hey megalomaniac
you're no Jesus
yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
wash your hands clean of yourself, baby
and step down, step down, step down
If I were your appendages
I'd hold open your eyes so you would see
that all of us are heaven sent
and there was never meant to be only one
to be only one
Hey megalomaniac
you're no Jesus
yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
wash your hands clean of yourself, baby
and step down, step down, step down
Step down, step down
ooh, step down
Yeah
you're, you're, you're
you're no Jesus
you're not Elvis
you're no Jesus
you're no Jesus
you're no Elvis
you're no answer
Step down, step down
step down, step down, hey, hey
Hey megalomaniac
you're no Jesus
yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
wash your hands clean of yourself, baby
and step down, step, step down
step down, oh step down
oh, step down, step down
Warning
Bat your eyes girl
be otherworldly
count your blessings
seduce a stranger
what's so wrong with
being happy?kudos to those who
see through sickness, yeah
Over and over and
over and over and oooh
When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by
and she called out a warning
don't ever let life pass you by
I suggest we
learn to love ourselves
before it's made illegal
when will we learn (when will we learn)
when will we change (when will we change)
just in time to see it all come down
Those left standing will make millions
writing books on ways it should have been
When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by
and she called out a warning (warning)
don't ever let life pass you by
Floating in this cosmic jacuzzi
we are like frogs oblivious
to the water starting to boil
no one flinches, we all float face down
When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by
and she called out a warning (warning)
don't ever let life pass you bypass you by,
ooooohoooooh, oooooh, oooooh
Echo
There's something about the look in your eyes
something I noticed when the light was just right
it reminded me twice that I was alive
and it reminded me that you're so worth the fight
My biggest fear will be the rescue of me
strange how it turns out that way, yeah
Could you show me dear?
something I've not seen
something infinitely interesting
could you show me dear?
something I've not seen
something infinitely interesting
There's something about the way you move
I see your mouth in slow motion when you sing
more subtle than something someone contrives
your movements echo that I have seen the real thing
Your biggest fear will be the rescue of you
strange how it turns out that way, yeah
Could you show me dear?
something I've not seen
something infinitely interesting
could you show me dear?something
I've not seen
something infinitely interesting
Wish You Were Here
(Woo!)
I dig my toes into the sand
the ocean looks like a thousand diamonds
strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
pretend that I am weightless
and in this moment I am happy, happy
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I lay my head onto the sand
the sky resembles a backlit canopy
with holes punched in it
I'm counting UFO's
I signal them with my lighter
and in this moment I am happy, happy
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
The world's a roller coaster
and I am not strapped in
maybe I should hold with care
but my hands are busy in the air
I sayI wish you were here
I wish you were
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
wish you were here
Aqueous Transmission
I'm floating down a river
oars freed from their holes long ago
lying face up on the floor
of my vessel
I marvel at the stars
and feel my heart overflow
Further down the river
further down the river
further down the river
further down the river
Two weeks without my lover
I'm in this boat alone
floating down a river named emotion
will I make it back to shore?
or drift into the unknown
Further down the river
further down the river
further down the river
further down the river
I'm building an antenna
transmissions will be sent
when I am through
maybe we can meet again
further down the river
and share what we both discovered
then revel in the view
Further down the river
further down the river
further down the river
further down the river
I'm floating down a river (x8)
Mexico
You could see me reaching
so why couldn't
you have met me halfway
you could see me bleeding
but you could not put pressure on the wound
You only think about yourself
you only think about yourself
you better bend before I go
on the first train to Mexico
You could see me breathing
but you still kept your hand over my mouth
you could feel me seething
but you just turned your nose up in the air
You only think about yourself
you only think about yourself
you better bend before I go
on the first train to Mexico
You only think about yourself
you only think about yourself
you better bend before I go
on the first train to Mexico
2. Circles - (4:11)
You saw me lost in treading water
I looked pathetic and as helpless as a stinger without a bee
but underneath my presentation, yeah
I knew the walls were coming down
and the stones that fell were aiming away from me
Hey, what would it mean to you?(what would it mean to you?)
to know that it'll come back around again
hey, whatever it means to you(whatever it means to you)
know that everything moves in circles, yeah
I saw you standing in my headlights,
blink blink blinkI thought I'd run you down for the weight you left on me
but then I pressed rewind, reversed and drove away
and see you, disappear in my rearview
brought to me the word reciprocity
Hey, what would it mean to you?(what would it mean to you?)
to know that it'll come back around again
hey, whatever it means to you(whatever it means to you)
know that everything moves in circles, yeah
Round and round we go
who could've known it'd end so well?we fall on and we fall off
existential carousel
Hey, what would it mean to you?(what would it mean to you?)
to know that it'll come back around againhey,
whatever it means to you(whatever it means to you)
know that everything moves in circles, yeahoh, everything moves in circles
Round and round and round
and round and round and round
and round and round and round!
