Oh the pleasure pains me
the more that we’ve been separated
would you do me one last time if I beg?
Holy Machinations
cut your teeth in control when I crave some direction
would you do me one last time if I beg?
I’ve been indoctrinated
overcome with the joy of adoration
I’m begging

I Was A Teenager
03:24
|
|||
|
I was a person
not yet in debt
not yet a citizen filled with panic and dread
adolescence past me
good bye
Old and lonely
I’m running out of time
People come and go
fractured and innocent
captured in images
celebrated to death
feels like it’s passing me by
lend me an hour
I’m on borrowed time
I was a teenager… just like you.

Only Ones
02:59

She come to me every night when I’m asleep
when it happens I get weak
wake up and I’m alone
Is she even happier with him?
or happy from within?
I long to be together
My sparrow queen
wide awake in my dream
I’m the one for you
you’re the one for me
we’re the only one for us
(Only, Only)
We’re the only one for us
Sweet teeth sinking into me
in the orchard of my dream
I found love
Her eyes through candy coloured glasses
saccharine molasses
out of sight
Peaches and cream
forever my queen
I’m the one for you you’re the one for me
we’re the only one for us…

Until The Sun Comes Up
03:34

My friends conceive all the action
You’re asleep or missing in action
when my friends tie it on we’re able to go all night
they were dancing on tables
If all these rhythms don’t matter to you
are you lonely again?
are you happy you fool?
cuz not all good things must come to an end
You’re always leaving the party when it’s just getting good
Until the sun comes up
just leave me alone
when the sun goes down
you’re already gone
sun goes down
leave me alone
and when the sun comes up
I’ll be joining you
Gotta keep dancing
move it along
I said I got a beat
pumping in strong
I just gotta keep
my energy up
all night long
You’re always leaving the party when it’s just getting good

Midlife Crisis
05:39
|

|
“I Think I found the cause of my misery”
said the driver always losing his keys
Midlife so crushing I could move underground
but I just signed a lease for this
the penalty keeps me around
It’s just the system overloading
and if they ask
just tell them I’m ok
It’s so heavy
I can’t seem to pick it up off the ground
If there’s a respite to end my misery
I disconnect the panic button and flee
but life’s so crushing I can’t get off the ground
Day Fevers was an album of mine
so long ago
I can’t even pick it up off the ground

Get Loose
02:49
|
|||
|
I can’t believe we made it here
it’s happening tonight
the room’s so hot the walls are wet
no space between you and I
I’m here
to play
don’t want it any other way
it’s alright (all night)
uh huh
Get Loose
To hell with all my solitude (are you ready for a good time?)
No empty halls tonight (ready Freddy? Ready Betty?)
No drama and no attitude (can you dance like a tremolo?)
Just sparks between you and I

Run Away
03:00
|
|||
|
These two feet and the beat of my heart
never still, always racing
like the rush of a Mexican sunrise
“Goodbye" she said “to my existential dread!”
if you’re gonna stick around
I can take you instead
and we’ll leave this
take it or leave it
All I wanna do is run
I wanna runaway
Get up and skip town with the windows down
feel the wind breeze through what’s left of my hair
as we leave this
the thing about life is it’s a one way trip
an it’s a long one at best
so you gotta persist to be alive
I feel alive

SAD Light Disco

Tonight- everything will be alright
you and I
staring at the pale blue light
“Gin it up”, she said
“I want another, before I go to bed”
One more? I should say no
the room is spinning
and it won’t let me go
It drives me crazy
it’s driving me mad
the daylight saved me
Now it’s making me sad
so sad…
Tonight- everything will be alright
you and I
staring at the pale blue light
Wild nights
I sleep all day
when I was younger - I couldn’t stay awake
it’s strange when people stray
change lanes
get caught up in the brakes
It drives me crazy
it’s driving me mad
the daylight saved me
Now it’s making me sad
so sad…

Erasure
03:13
|
|||
|
Looking out over a crowded street
you weren’t there
and you were not looking for me
and with this absence over time
would you remember me?
Raising kids ain’t what it used to be
since the split
I now see it your way
vacancies are now replacing me
does she have your eyes?
I just have to know
Time is erasing us all - one by one.

After it’s all gone

Now that it’s all gone
gone gone
