Kids and Lasers
04:02
|

sending a message from the other end of the world,
lost in some old fashioned sense.
ding dong ditching on heaven's gate,
a rain dance in an empty house seals our fate.
writing our wedding vows in invisible ink
on your fridgerator
kids and their lasers
planning hard-boiled capers
sending a message from the other end of the universe
a luxury i'm hard-pressed to admit
doing time while we're still young and with it
swinging from the rooftops in spandex suits
kids and their lasers
planning hard-boiled capers

Wish You Luck

bigmouth, he don't wait his turn,
tidal waves they crash and burn
can't move on without turning around
can't turn away from you
a light in the doorway i know no one's home
turn on a dime, he'll be on his own
daybreak, draw your face in the sand
gone in the evening with a million dollar plan
face me, don't move a muscle got you locked down in my sights
streaks of vermilion on my face but it's all just part of the game
his pain
you better run you better try to keep up
if you're pinching pennies I wish you luck
you better move you better hit the tracks
don't turn around he's at your back
i wish you luck
i wish you peace
eyes of yellow, a mean enemy
you fit him so perfectly
when the big man says dance I tie my shoe
still can't turn away from you
you keep me quiet, keep me hidden
under the mat upon your doorstep
under lock and key I can see your silence
gold out west at my expense
streaks of vermilion on my face but it's all just part of the game
their pain
...
you better run, you better try to keep up
you better move, you better hit the tracks
you better run, you better try to keep up
if you're pinching pennies I wish you luck
how you want it to be, then that it will be

Oh Man

oh man
you got my hands tied
don't you even think about talking talking talking
saying things saying things to her
you got me watching from the keyhole
is that you lying on the floor just waiting to settle some score
that you made a long long time ago
you won't let go
oh man
it happened happened happened again
sitting at the edge of my seat
oh man
you caught me moving in circles
doing doing things
is that me lying on the floor just waiting to settle some score
that i made this time around (x2)
doin things, i won't let go, (doin things) (x2)
oh man
you got my hands tied
don't you even think about talking talking talking
saying things to her
you got me watching from the keyhole
is that me lying on the floor just waiting to settle some
that i made this time around
you caught me moving circles, doing things
you won't let go

Candy Love

chasing bumpers in the screaming heat
tapestries of forbidden concrete I feel you
your cannibal eyes don't know where to start
cut through me like a work of art
try to stay wide awake, got to cut my intake
what about that candy love
you'd never settle you could have it all
now don't you worry for an instant she says
do I put the whole damn thing out of proportion
watching you float in the ocean
you tell me reproachfully I better find a better use of my time
you throw your problems into the wind
no don't be surprised when they hit me back
are you really glad I came to
I haven't got a clue
bussing tables for a shot at fame
I see now that you're tired of these games that I play
will I get up today, will you just walk away
do I put the whole damn thing out of proportion
watching you go through the motion
you tell me reproachfully I better find a better use of my time

Madchester

smoking down the turnpike
standing on two feet
do you in an instant
fix you up nice
get a load of her down the corner
with a smile that could write your name
come on don't be shy, you're in texas
puts your god to shame
madchester
where the crocodiles grin
madchester
rocking in my chair
ooh
like lightning on my skin, hey
smile for the camera and you're on your way
critical hit
sneak attack
standing on his ground
crime scene in the basement
tuck him into bed
get a load of him down the street
he tells you what's what
I'm a man on call make it count
it's your lucky day
smile for the camera and you're on your
smile for the camera and you're on your way
madchester, ooh

Joker
02:43
|

a story of mine
I was running with the tide
over the fields open wide
with the wind as my guide
they say that he's a joker now
he keeps up appearances with his powder
yeah they say that he's a joker now
he'll make you laugh with the carnation in his blazer
a little story of mine
I was tied down with the rest
digging trenches with the blessed
dragging feet I must confess
I was looking for the words
but I'm not making any sense
to show you the sky
with the wind as our guide

Happy
03:06
|

somewhere where the sun shines
playing that tune from forty-nine
coconut bra from last night
I'll be waiting all my life
Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy!
back from a nice long slumber
it's been a long time coming
no words coming out of this mouth
ain't got time for that loving
Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy!
by happenstance I caught you snoozing, but I'm no prince
I'm just living for the present
glued to that blue blue silibant
we'll be waiting all our lives
Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy!

Atop the Clouds
03:05

I see you follow the lantern flicker
steely-eyed, beating your drum
through the walls, a hasty whisper
nothing to do but run
you've been waiting for a while now
will you make up your mind at light speed
I see you follow the lantern flicker
steely-eyed, beating your drum
tell me what you were thinking atop the clouds
she's fearless, cat with no pride
picking up but a momentary flash of light
on the other end of the line
I've been listening for that wave
the journey begins, gotta be brave
through the doorway, but I still linger
nothing to do but run

running the gauntlet on broken glass
lift my pinky I ain't got no class
you can take your time and I'll take my chances
driving nowhere just to get some rest
andromeda shines melancholy in a high-stakes collision
shining like a cog in a broken system
I can barely contain myself
I can barely contain myself
traveler in a homeland fraught with greed
tall in their towers they take what we need
an antique, nothing but dust on your shelf
I can barely contain myself

Just My Luck
02:30
|

|
fast approaching with eager charm
head under water, don't be alarmed
what's the trouble? it's open-ended
tangled in the ties that you severed
trippin at the finish line, don't hold your breath
ready able willling don't you leave just yet
just my luck, I got nothing left to lose (nothing left to lose, nothing left to lose)
just my luck
just my luck, you find yourself amused (find yourself amused, find yourself amused)
at my luck
head on the ground, I hear footsteps
we'll be waking up with the sunset
I'm just trying to be cool,
but don't you hold your breath
