Machu Picchu:

I'm putting your patience to the test.
I'm putting your body on the line, for less.
And didn't you know there was a choice?
It's never yours but someone elses voice.

Slippin' your body through the street.
I'm sending your girlfriends to the night, for cheat.
Wearing a jacket, made of meat.
Sending a letter waved with walls so sweet.
And now you've heard that...

Waves turn to grey.
Life in the shade.
A violent cloud.
And that's on USA.
Bad moon's on the rise,
Window's in the sky.
I'm just trying' to find...
A mountain I can climb.

I'm putting your patience to the test.
I'm putting your body on the line, for less.
And didn't you know there was a choice?
It's never yours but someone elses voice.
And now you've seen that...

Waltz on the grey.


Life in the shade.
A violent cloud,
And that's on USA.
Born on the rise.
Circles in the skies.
I'm just tryin' to find...
A mountain I can climb.

Tell us, are you gonna tell us?
Why do we feel so jealous?
Why do we feel so silent?
Why is it always silent?
(I didn't want to ask you baby, I didn't want you to suffer , and everybody is singing .... )

Why are you waiting? By the door...

Life turns to dust,
And waiting turns to rust.
Gossip is a truth.
A little bit for the lie you took.
And why do you look surprised?
Ever since I'm in the skies.
I'm just tryin' to find,
A space for you and I.


Under Cover Of Darkness:

Slip back out of whack at your best
It's a nightmare
So I'm joining the army

Know how folks back out
I'll still call
Will you wait for me now?

We've got the right to live, fight to use it
Got everything and you can just choose it
I won't just be a puppet on a string

Don't go that way
I'll wait for you

And I'm tired of all your friends
Listening at your door
And I want what's better for you
So long, my friend and adversary
Oh, but I'll wait for you

Get dressed, jump out of bed, you do it best
Are you OK?
I've been out around this town, everybody's singing the same song for ten years

I'll wait for you
Will you wait for me too?

And they sacrifice their lives
And they're lying about those odds
Oh, they've said it a billion times
And they'll say it again
So long, my adversary and friend

Don't go that way
I'll wait for you

I'm tired of all your friends
Knocking down your door
Get up in the morning and give it them all
So long, my friend and adversary
Oh, I'll be waiting for you


Two Kinds Of Happiness:


Happiness is two different things
What you take and then what you bring
One is pleasure, one is the flame
One's devotion, one's just a ring

Desire and reward
Love conquers altar joy
Don't waste your heart
Don't waste your heart
One has nothing to with the other
And the world is all cousins not brothers

Hard to take you off of my love
One's an instinct, one takes some will
One gives you life and one makes you kill
One's the means and one's for the end

Desire and reward
Love conquers altar joy
Don't waste your heart
Don't waste your heart
One has nothing to with the other
And the world is all cousins not brothers

Don't you give in
You're beginning


You're So Right


Tell me what happened
Tell me what happened
Tell me what happened
If you like

Get off on the same floor
Get off on the same floor
Get off on the same floor
Every night

What are the reasons
What are the reasons
What are the reasons
To fall out

I wanna tell you
I wanna tell you
I wanna tell you
Nothing more

Girl, I am on at anytime
Girl, I want at any town

I'm done with the office
I'm done with the office
I'm done with the office
Hello, forest

I still want to ask you
I still want to ask you
I still want to ask you
Something more

Girl, I am on at anytime
Girl, I want at any town

I don't want to fight
Don't want to beg
You anymore

I don't want to fight
Don't want to beg
You anymore

I don't want to fight
Don't want to beg
You anymore

I don't wanna argue
I don't wanna argue
I don't wanna argue
If you want

I wouldn't hurt you
I wouldn't hurt you
Well, maybe I'd hurt you
If I could


Taken For A Fool:

Sister, it feels like just yesterday
Sister, don't you forget my number
On the door

You've got something and it's so good to see
Something wonderful that I could not be
Everybody hanging on for their lives
But you can't help them 'cause you don't have the time

I know, everyone goes any damn place they like
I hope this goes over well on the toxic radio, yeah

You get taken all the time for a fool
I don't know why
You're so gullible but I don't mind
Oh, that's not the problem
And I don't need anyone with me right now
Monday, Tuesday is my weekend
You get taken for a fool all the time
I don't know why

Blame yourself for once, quit putting it on me
I can't let you 'cause I see what it means
It's so early, I don't want to wake up
Oh, we're so lucky 'cause we never grow up

Mama, it feels like just yesterday
Mama, don't you forget my number
I don't want to be the one at the door

I know, everyone goes any damn place they choose
And I hope everyone well on the toxic radio
A tourist, in the ghetto, not afraid of anything
Except death and anything else that could maybe hurt them, oh yeah

You get taken all the time for a fool
I don't know why
You're so gullible but I don't mind
That's not the problem
And I don't need anyone with me right now
Monday, Tuesday is my weekend
You get taken all the time for a fool
I don't know why

You get taken all the time for a fool
I don't know why
I don't know why


Games:

With all the noise above
He tried to call his name
The trial would go on
The day has just begun

Living in an empty world
Living in an empty world
Living in an empty world
Living in an empty world

The diamond cuts her eye
The crowd behind went wild
They weren't all that proud
By now, they hear it loud

Living in an empty world
Living in an empty world
Living in an empty world
Living in an empty world

I'm ok, I'm alright
I was out late last night
Empty world, empty world
I will wait one more night


Call Me Back


Wait time is the worst
I can hardly sit
No one has the time
Someone's always late

I look for you
And you look for me

I don't know why
I came down
I hold your phone
Don't wake up
I hear a voice
In the ground

Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you
Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you

Wait time is to blame
Mapped out fame's a trip
We all have the time
Someone's always fed

I look for you
And you look away

I don't know why
I came down
I hold your phone
Don't wake up
I hear a voice
In the ground

(Waking up is so much fun to do)
Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you
(An 80's movie make-out party with you)
Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you



Gratisfaction:


Oh b-baby, don't you be so mad because I barely remember
And she tries to recognize me with the eyes she saw me with in December
And she's starting to realize that it's actually not a good thing
And it's so tough because you're down to go out again and have another adventure
All her friends in the alleyway shout back but she can't hear them

But you're never gonna get my love
We can only play in the sun
Get up in the morning and run
You'll be frustrated 'til the day that you're done

He got punched in the mouth for sticking his nose in other people's business
No good solution, always on the verge of some revolution
Well tough luck, it may take a thousand years but I think we can do it
Best friends fight but they never enjoy life as good as when they abuse it
He said the soldier is a necessity in light of all the failures of man

But you're never gonna get their love
We can only fight in the sand
You get tired when the days are too long
You get lonely when the days are gone

He could never mention it out here and now without quick tears in his eyes

And you're never gonna get my love
We can only play in the sand
You get tired when the days are too long
You get lonely when the days are gone

Oh, you're never gonna get this love
We can roll around in the dark
That's about as far as we go
Get up in the morning and run


Metabolism:


I wanna be outrageous
But inside, I know I'm plain
So plain

Just plain
Boring
And plain

Silently obsessed with death
Just like anyone, I guess
Tryin' for the perfect life
End up bein' in denial

I wanna be somebody
Wanna be somebody like you
Like you
Like you

Like you
Instead
Of me

Silently Obsessed with death
Just like anyone, I guess
Tryin' for the perfect life
End up being in deni


Life Is Simple In The Moonlight:

Animals on TV singing about some pain that they once felt
There's no one I disapprove of more or root for more than myself
I wanted to pretend that it was better, better, better on the phone
I didn't wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous and alone

So we talk about ourselves in hell
To forget the love we never felt
All the old jokes that work so well
Universal truth was the moment's lie

Don't try to stop us
Don't try to stop us
Don't try to stop us
Get out of the way

Got to get to climb your tree in the light of the living ghost I see
She sees her father in that old man's eyes while secretly he stares at her thighs
Animals on TV singing about some pain they felt at some point
I didn't wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous, what's the point?

As I watch the velvet drapes appear
And the door was closed for forty years
As we hide what we don't wanna hear
As we hide what's really in our ears

He is coming from a part of hell
Where lightning blue eyes don't go down well
He can tell that we're oblivious
It's addiction of routine as well
Making fools out of the best of us
Making robots of the rest of us
Innocence itself in America today
Is a crime just like Cornel West might say

Don't try to stop us
Don't try to stop us
Don't try to stop us
Get out of the way
