War Crimes

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

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

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...

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

We Can Only Wait

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!

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

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?

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 …
