WORLD AWAKE

They never tell you when to stop

They wanna see you fall over

Till the torture makes you drop

Till you lose all composure

We can’t hold back

We can’t behave

We’re the born insane

We can’t go back

We can’t behave

We’re the born insane

We’re the world awake

I’ll never tell you when to smile

I wanna see you get older

Till the horror makes you laugh

Till we leave town in October

We can’t go back

We can’t behave

We’re the born insane

We can’t hold back

We can’t behave

We’re the born insane

We’re the world awake

RED EYE

Panic builds

It fills my lungs

Blown away

I was

Spilled our will

Burned our love

Shown the way

Shown the way

Torn away

I was

You figured out

That you don’t know

If we are right

You took a red eye

Flying off into the night

You took my hand

And made a toast

To you and I

Then out of nowhere

You flew off into the sky

You took

A red eye flyin’

Off into the night smilin’

Boom, Boom

Boom, Boom

You figured out

That you don’t know

If we are right

You took a red eye

Flying off into the night

You called me up from Tennessee

And hung up twice

Saying hello

Well now I have to say goodbye

You took

A red eye flyin’

Off into the night smilin’

Somewhere I know you’re sparking up another light

Your arms around another lover, another life

Boom, Boom

Boom, Boom

IN KINCARDINE

She loved him as he loved her

Well he

Took off under cover to be frank

Blew the lid off

My world

Bet your lips she's lonely

While she

Shoots a broken arrow through her brain

Live a little my girl

Faith runs in

Turning, entangling

Alice is rambling on

She’s of the stars and the angels

Razor slips

Strawberry fingertips

In a white blouse she rose

In a woodshed in Kincardine

So long

He loved her as she loved him

Now she

Feels she has the perfect choice of mate

Blew the lid off my man

Looky ma

Look what I've done

Looky ma

Look what I've won

It’s a fallen dream

Faith runs in

Turning, entangling

Alice is rambling on

She’s of the stars and the angels

Razor slips

Strawberry fingertips

In a white blouse she rose

In a woodshed in Kincardine

So long

ROCK AND ROLL KIND OF NIGHT

Tonight everybody wants you

To be a star and sit upon your throne

Tonight everybody wants you

To make a sound that rattles every bone

Your woes

Are getting very clear

It’s terrifying my love

Your painting the walls with your blood

I can’t wait

For a moment of fate

Time to put up a fight

It’s a rock and roll kind of night

Let’s savour every moment

Savour every moment

Savour every moment

Well, tonight everybody lost you

You shattered everything you could in sight

Tonight everybody lost you

You’re using anything to feel alright

Your glow

Is getting out of hand

It’s terrifying my love

Twisting the knife with your touch

With skin so wintered

I can’t wait

For a moment of fate

Time to put up a fight

It’s a rock n roll kind of night

Don’t cry when you have to give in

Don’t it feel like heaven?

Don’t it feel so on time?

On this rock and roll kind of night

On this rock and roll kind of night

On this rock n roll kind of night

Yeah it’s just rock n roll kind of…

THERE’S A MOUNTAIN

Lift yourself up from the ground

This year you haven’t been eating well

Been sometime since you’ve thrown up to care

Never got home

Never got anywhere

I don’t like it when you’ve been that way

I don’t like it when you feel that way

You know where we could survive

Somewhere there’s a mountain

Where lovers and dreamers rule

Up there is an answer

For people who’re looking for truth

For people who’re looking to bloom

Paint yourself into the scene

Focus in on all the subtleties

Been sometime since you’ve come up for air

If you get home I’ll stop to start repair

I don’t like it when you feel that way

I don’t like it when you’ve been that way

You know where we could survive

Somewhere there’s a mountain

Where lovers and dreamers rule

Up there is an answer

For people who’re looking for truth

For people who’re looking to bloom

Somewhere

Somewhere

Somewhere

Somewhere

Somewhere there’s a mountain

HANG AT MY HOUSE

We were driving your car to Michigan state

When we stopped for a sweet

Staring at the moon

We begged to the stars

Then we cried to the sea

It was then I knew

If I'd lose you I couldn’t live with myself

You want to save me from my impending hell

(Friday night)

You want to go where we can be ourselves

(Friday night in the city)

Well we can hang at my house

If you’ve got nowhere else to go

Nothing else to do

Nowhere else to roam

No one left to fool

I was flying so high on king and close

As you screamed

K c’mon Keeg

Meet me at the park in ten to fifteen

Speed past your doom

Fill me a filled up spoon

It was then I knew

If I'd lose you I couldn’t live with myself

You want to train me

To be civil and swell

(You got any Saturday left in ya?)

You want to know where we can free ourselves

Well we can hang at my house

If you’ve got nowhere else to go

Nothing else to do

Nowhere else to roam

No one left to fool

You’re part of everything

We’re part of everything

You’re part of everything

We’re part of everything

A DESIRE

Let's fall apart

Make a new start

Feel your blood rush again

Drifting out into space

Wait

Catch me if you can

Crash your new car

Stashed your blue scars

Somewhere there around the bend

Sniffing on a glue can

Pain

It’s a new sensation

Let's fall apart

Make a new start

Cause we all have our...

We all have our...

We all have our...

Desires

THE WILDCARD

Nah Nah Nah Nah

Nah Nah Nah Nah

Nah Nah Nah Nah

Nah Nah Nah

Turned up

You’re up

Dream up

Fuck up

Lose yourself &

Fly away

Drifting on cinnamon highs

Living like you’ll never die

You were always the wildcard

Playing games like some big star

When life’s out of your hands

When it looks like the end

You keep winning on

Living again

Nah Nah Nah Nah

Nah Nah Nah Nah

Nah Nah Nah Nah

Nah Nah Nah

Word’s up

World’s up

Pills up

Thrill’s up

Bleed it out

Sweet valentine

Getting your piece of the pie

Means occupying a new mind

You feel you’re in everything

You were always the wildcard

Playing games like some big star

When life’s out of your hands

When it looks like the end

You’ll keep winning on

Living again

LOOKING AT THE STARS

I’m tempted by the sky

I’m shaken by this high

Oh help me

I’m looking at the stars

I’ll spill my love to you

I’ll will my wish through you

I’ll give my gift to you

Live and give

And live and give

And live and give to you

I’m taken by the tide

You say we’re out of time

Let’s get beat

We’re looking at the stars

I’ll spill my love to you

I’ll will my wish through you

I’ll give my gift to you

Live and give

And live and give

And live and give to you

Back to you

The sun is but a star’s design

The sun is but a star’s design

The sun is but a star’s design
