Nadia walked out into the boulevard/ From her four walls, no backyard
Like she does every midnight/ With her killer, her killer bee buzz, high as a kite
It isn’t sober oh no/ It took her over
It took her down down down down/ Now everything is mine, everything is mine
It took us on/ No sign of dawn
It took her down down down down/ Now everything is mine, everything is mine
Some of us are watching from the sewer/ And the tenants have all gone mad in her tower.
I would watch my feet when I walk downtown if I were you/And I’d play your radio for Nadia underground
Play your radio underground/ Bada un-dada un-day bad-un dada

Brick
04:48

Couldn't get out of the taxi/ Couldn't get Into the bar
Laying you down in the backseat/ Another saturday night in the car
Falling your way through the front door/ Losing your keys on the lawn
In the same clothes from the day before/ Can't remember if you had fun
Now you're waking up alone/ And the pictures on the phone
Are the only way you know/ How you might have gotten home
And you're feeling kind of sick/ There must be some kind of trick
Hearts as heavy as a brick/ And the fix is never quick
Haven't seen you around for a while now/ Seems like you just disappeared
Staying at home with the blinds down/ Confirming every fear
I saw them breaking your door down/ You wouldn't let them in
Number disconnected, your lights out/ They tried your next of kin
Now you left me all alone/ Won't take any of my calls
Well I guess I should have known/ I can't get through to you at all
If I could do it all again/You know I'l be there 'til the end
When you're pushing me away /Oh I'm just gonna stay

Straight In A Heap
04:42
|

Well I sat up straight in a heap/ Couldn't tell the difference from my left or right, awake or sleep.
Water falling out of my head/ Doesn't help at all, they don't take the things that they should keep.
When your love was taken away/ Left grasping in the air like a baby for a bottle feed.
Crawling on my hands and my knees/ Floor becomes the ceiling and the minutes are like centuries
Gold is pouring out of our eyes/ Paving over trouble, the pain I caused and all the lies.
We wait for the old lake to dry/ Walk on where the water was poisoned, where we could have died
Second chances that I've made right/ Are soured by the taste of a past that I can't leave behind.
Never wanted to get high/ If we could have forever and talk about just getting by

Machines

You fooled me again/ Like the rest of ‘em
Put me high in a room/ With the rest of ‘em
Force fed me data obscene/ Force fed me what can’t unsee
Hell yeah I’m a machine/ Clothed and clean and nobody
Now my data is obscene when you’re mean to me
Force fed me shit I can’t unsee/ Hell, I’m a machine
Maybe theres something that you know and I don’t/ And you’re sparing me
I’m numb and euphoric, I should thank you for it/ But it’s scaring me
Fork fed me how it’s to be/ Head closed and free trust and believe
Hell yeah the machine

Editor
04:21
|

Just unpacked settled in quiet/ When the news of my leaving starts my own riot
Crashed on the floor with the rented Idea/ I could feel comfort without him editing me
I couldn't see the weather I had to feel it on my own/You tried to warn me
When we were together/And now I'm in the middle of a storm
Turned out on the road/This could be complaining
Why do I feel this need to/ Keep on explaining
I'm broke with my addiction/ The ones I can't afford
To try to get past them/I started writing words
This should stay tightly locked up in my mouth
But I open to say a word and this is what spills out

Hit Me Where it Hurts
04:27
|
|||
I did the damage first / I didn't know how it worked
That we could be about the truth/ Until now, and I'm am losing you
Theres only one way out of this/I'm sorry for what comes with it
All you have to do to is/ Promise me you won't miss
So hit me where it hurts/ Hard enough to burst
Break me in to two/ Just like I did to you
Hit me where it hurts/ Even out the score
I need to hear you say the words/ Say you don't want me anymore
Your silence fills the room/ Your absent words consume me
You've got to make a move/ Ive done all I can do
You know I'll never walk away/ Silent by your side I'll stay
Silent by your side I'll stay/ Shut me down so we can start again

I've got the world on a noose/ Got that noose around my ankle
I drag it around and its weighing me down/ I try to cut it loose/ But it's just no use
I've got the sun in my hand/ And its burning through my fingers
I can't make a fist and it hurts like the damned/I try to douce the flame/ But it burns all the same
Ive got a curl in the middle of my forehead/ And when I'm good I'm very very good
But when I'm bad/ I'm very very/ Oh when I'm bad/ I've got a curl
I've got a mountain in my mind/ And its giving me headache
I toss and turn at night Its erupting all the time/ I try to think nice thoughts/ But it's just too hot
Shoobeedoobee do be doo doo ooh ooh

The Man In The Back
05:16
|

If you've got the money/ She'll be your honey
She'll call you lovey lovey/ Best thing could happen she's walking your way
She likes the pretty dresses/ She likes them expensive
She'll always keep you guessing/ Is she gonna stay?
Don't think twice/ Baby's got a price
If your gonna be her man/ You gotta say you can
She'll play nice/ While you bring the ice
Now that you understand/ You can be her man
(No one left to hold your hand/ You've gotta be a man)
You're looking all alone/ Honey's taken to the road
And she went for all you gold/ Best thing could happen she's walking away
Oh what a sight/ Your fates are aligned
Mr. Right/ But she's got a siren's eye
Your love is a flame/ But she's playing the game
Here comes the knife/ You'll never see her again

Highways
05:06
|

Rabbit in your headlights, running through the field/ Come and take your baby away
No I, I won't stay/ Racing down the highway, dear is on your heels/
Better watch the tracks you make/ You better come/ Come for your baby today.
Sitting in the flashlight holding your drinks/ Waiting around to get paid
You better come/ Come get your baby today
I'm at the end of the highway/ I'm not wearing those heels
My feet are killing on the floor/ You better come
Come take your baby away
Sitting on the way home, quiet in the car/ Looking at the skyless stars
All I have to say/ Is, "It's been the longest day."
Not another train ride, one more and it's for free/ You're fifty million stations away
Why were you so far from me? / Why?

Secret
03:41
|
|||
The ghosts are all out tonight can't keep them in/ They know my secret
I walked the miles I fought the fight/ And I'll do it again/ You know I'll keep it
The things we all try to find/ We're lost without/Can't go on without
You made me leave it all behind/ And I can't remember/ Who I am without it
I've got a secret / And I'll do it again /You know I'll keep it

I'll Never Let You Go
04:46
|
|||
You had me worried for a while back there/ I wasn't sure if we could weather the unfair
With all this sickened we have made ourselves so long/ Shifting forward on a fight to right a wrong.
I tried to fill your cracks in with my words/ They're heavy with a need to heal your wounds
My reaching out did nothing for the moment/ Had to tie my hands and lips, leave you alone.
But I'll never let you go/ I'll never let you go
Something in me has to make it alright/Watch over your heart until your safe inside.
You can push me out the door/ I'll be waiting at the bottom on the floor
'Til you give me a key, or let me inside, so I/ Can look at your face and hold to you tight
I'll never let you go
I wasn't safe enough for you to come home/ But now I think you know where I belong
And If you turn your back away from me again/You'll know that I'll remain until the end
