War Crimes 04:18
I do my business well With oil & my citadels My cup is overflowing now As business booms with poisoned wells I've never worn that shade of green It doesn't go with red it seems But I take my time with my war crimes I take my time with my war crimes As Nero watched his city burn He didn't play the saxophone The cat-gut strings on a crooked bow As chaos swamped the town below His Empire in a downward slide A soldier with a stingin' pride But I take my time with my War Crimes I take my time with my War Crimes But these days it's not a crime These days it's not a crime These days it's not a crime These days it's not a crime My conscience is a mute I give a Fifteen gun Salute! I give Fifteen gun Salute But I take my time... I take my time But I take my time with my War Crimes I take my time with my War Crimes

Dub Pig 05:46
Disconnected Yr still waiting for me Disconnected Yr still waiting for me I come to from a coma I come to from a coma My twenties were gone My twenties were gone I come to from a coma I come to from a coma My twenties were gone My twenties were gone Disconnected Yr still waiting for me Disconnected Yr still waiting for me I come to from a coma I come to from a coma My twenties were gone My twenties were gone I come to from a coma I come to from a coma My twenties were gone My twenties were gone

Black Fire 03:25
If you walk into a dream There is no guarantee What you hold in yr hand And yr heart are the keys In a fortress of desire With yr body bound in wire Where’s the War? Where’s the War? That I first asked you for? Is there a reason Is there someone you can blame? O I think I got that feeling again I got that feeling again... Hold yrself close to me You might catch something for free No more room for you and me That’s a faint but growing possibility Is there a reason Is there someone you can blame? O I think I got that feeling again I got that feeling again... Is there a reason Is there someone we can blame? O I think I got that feeling again I got that feeling again...

Into The Sun 03:31
We look We look into the sun We see there’s only one But there are millions behind us Staring back upon us there A there we’ll never share An ocean that will never find us Beyond the star Beyond the scars To see if the mystery is true A piece of the mystery that’s true We look We look into the sun We see there’s only one But there are millions behind us Staring back upon us there A there we’ll never share An ocean that will never find us Beyond the star Beyond the scars To see if the mystery is true A piece of the mystery that’s true No waking up No waking up (Look at the moon!) No waking up (Look at the moon!) No waking up (Look at the moon!) No waking up (Look at the moon!) No waking up...

Dominoes 02:57
Dream Dominoes Short black And awake Blowflies buzzing Step outside The weather‘s just the same… Storm Broken cup A whale of a time Lists long Little fists Of sky The weather never stays Plays a game gone yesterday You will lie You will lie The weather never stays Plays a game gone yesterday The weathers just the same Old Silhouettes Faces we know Cold snow Photographs The weather never changes The weather never stay the same You will lie Like dominoes You will lie Like dominoes You will lie Like dominoes You will lie like dominoes

Faces 05:00
Faces are happy now Caught like birds in flight Laughing and let it out Nothing ever dies now Nothing ever does It’s just the same thing It’s just the same thing crying Build towards the sun Glass is gonna rain down Rain on everyone so Blame the world Nothing ever wins babe Nothing ever could Nothing ever wins babe Noone ever should It’s just the same thing It’s just the same thing crying Clap your hands Take another bow now Do it all again, c’mon Clap your hands Take another bow now Do it all again, c’mon It’s just the same thing It’s just the same thing crying It’s just the same thing It’s just the same thing dying

Fools like me don’t pray My prayers are but whispers in a crowded parade I could ask, but I won’t Cos I won’t remain here for long Oh, yr hardly a Man Though yr trying the best that you can It’s the dress and stilettos The press will write librettos about Can’t you figure it out cant you figure it out The future forgets no regrets about it Can’t you figure it out can’t you figure it out That the laws that you break know no Heaven or Hell Only waiting … we can only wait … Fools like me don’t pray I was ripped from the earth I’ll go back to one day It’s a given we’re livin some Fuckers idea Of a joke … Oh yr hardly a Man Yr tryin too hard to be hard as you can It’s the car, and the scars, And the dumb dopey look on yr face Can’t yr figure it out cant you figure it out The future forgets no regrets about it Can’t you figure it out cant you figure it out When the laws that you break know no heave or hell Can’t you figure it out cant you figure it out The future regrets and forgets about it Can you figure it out? Have you figured it out In yr heart that you know that your whisper’s a shout Only waiting … We can only wait …

Closing In 03:31
TO GO WITH, AND WITHOUT AND TO SEE HOW YR LIFE TURNS OUT YES, I KNOW THAT ITS CLOSING IN TO ABSTAIN, TO RELAPSE OR TO FIND A REPLEACEMENT PERHAPS ALL THIS TIME IS CLOSING IN ... O IM WAITING FOR THE SUN O IM WAITING FOR THE SUN O I HEARD WHAT YOU SAID BUT I WAS THINKIN THAT I SHOULD BE DEAD ALL THIS TIME IS CLOSING IN ONE MORE NOW FOR THE ROAD SO I CAN HARVEST ALL THE SEEDS IVE SOWN O EXCESS IS CLOSING IN ... IM WAITING FOR THE SUN IM WAITING FOR THE SUN AD NAUSEUM

Hey Pal! 04:12
Hey Pal! Are ya ready to go? Yr eyes look crazy and yr moving too slow Hey watch yr mouth there, and watch that blow! Hey Pal, well Im ready to go Hey Pal, are you lookin for me Are you ready to see what Lucifer’s bungin‘ at me? A hole in the head or hung from a tree Well there are worse things to be ... Hey pal! Hey Pal! Hey Pal! Hey Pal! Hey Pal, are you ready to eat? I saw you skulkin‘ on that side of the street Two Guiness down and a side of meat Hey Pal are you ready to eat...? So hold yrself and hold yr nose I see you writin’ pretty average prose Dont wait for nothin‘ so nothin‘ grows So close, So near, So far, So clear Hey Pal! I just dont wanna hear you say it Pal I justdont wanna hear you say it Pal I just dont wanna hear you say it Pal I just dont wanna hear you say it Pal I‘m a Holy soul ... O well, not really But close enough But close enough ... O Hey Pal are you ready to go? Yr eyes look crazy and yr movin too slow Hey watch yr mouth there, and watch that blow! Hey Pal are you ready to go? Hey Pal are you ready to go? Hey Pal are you ready to go Hey Pal are you ready to go? Hold yrself, hold yr nose Hold yrself, and do-ce-do ... Control yrself, do-ce-do ... Hold yrself, do-ce-do, do-ce-do ... Hey Pal!

Fallen Angel 04:22
What else have we got? And what else do we have before our Spirit‘s all but shot? I can hardly move Sirens spiral through this cruel Sky that we pollute Another fallen angel Someone to see me through Calling all good souls And calling all you faithless wonders God wont even own We’ve given up on truth Theology’s pedantic Crows The stains of Man‘s abuse Just another fallen angel Someone to see me through Another fallen angel Someone to see me through We plow the stony fields We plant in ashes freshly sown The harvest never yields The taste of blood and bone The primitive will always win And needs to feed alone Another fallen angel Someone to see me through Another fallen angel Someone to see me through

DJ 03:10
I cant dance Cant sing But I‘ve a diamond ring I‘ve got so much to say So I sleep all day Just as long as I get paid I‘ve got a smoke machine A TV screen, the lights on me But I cant SEE ... DJ Where’s yr soul? I cant play guitar But I‘ve got a lowered car I‘ve got so much to say I can‘t play the bass Will you still come to my place? Come watch me spin tonite The feelings right You’ll get in tight with me and all my Djs Where‘s yr soul? DJ Where’s yr soul?

Indigo 05:25
Belly up in the stairs This old star is floating Honest to God What a devil of a lie traded in for it all… Black tie¨ Just a little more each time He shuffles numbers till his number dies And the 7.37 will catch his fall Belly up belly up belly up No sleep until it‘s all done Five hours sleep Four hours pass, how long will we last? I’m only eight years old, pal Only indigo, indigo Life on a thread …
