It's only when your poison spins into the life you'd hoped to live
That suddenly you wake up in a shaking panic, wow! You set me up like a lamb to slaughter Garbo as a farmer's daughter Unbelievable, the gospel according to who? I lay right down. [Chorus] All your sad and lost apostles hum my name and flare their nostrils Choking on the bones you toss to them Well I'm not one to sit and spin Cause living wells the best revenge Baby, I am calling you on that Don't turn your talking points on me, history will set me free The future's ours and you don't even read the footnote now! So who's chasing you? Where did you go? You disappeared mid-sentence In a judgment crisis I see my anecdote for it You weakened shell [Chorus] You savor your dying breath Well, I forgive but I don't forget You work it out, let's hear that argument again Camera three... Go now! [Chorus] Baby, I am calling you on that Baby, I am calling you on |

Turning on the TV and what do I see?
A pageantry of empty gestures all lined up for me, wow! I'd have thought by now we would be ready to proceed But a tearful hymn to tug the heart And a man-sized wreath, ow! [Chorus] Throw it on the fire Throw it in the air Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don't care, oh Give me the sound Wave the palms, steal the alms, fists in the air A motorcade up benign shows the people that you care, ow! Nature abhors a vacuum but what's between your ears? Your judgment clouded with fearful thoughts A headlights and a deer, ow! [Chorus] Look at what I've found Everybody look around Everybody looking like they just don't care, oh Give me the sound Well I'm not deceived by pomp and odious conceit But a tearful hymn to tug the heart And a man-sized wreath-ow! [Chorus] Look at what I've found Everybody look around Everybody looking like they just don't care [Chorus] Give me the sound Give me the sound Give me the sound |

Everybody here,
Comes from somewhere, That they would just as soon forget, And disguise. At the summer camp where you volunteered, No one saw your face, no one saw your fear. If that apparition just appeared, Took you up and away from this place and shared Humiliation, Of your teenage station. Nobody cares, No one remembers and nobody cares. And you cried and you cried, You survived, you survived. And you cried and you cried and you cried and you cried. If you call out safe then I?l stop right away, If the premise buckles and the room starts to shake, The details swap, And the story's the same. You don? have to explain. You don? have to explain Humiliation, Of your teenage station. Yeah you cried and you cried, You survived, you survived. And you cried and you cried and you cried, And you realize your fantasies are Dressed up in travesties. Enjoy yourself with no regrets. Everybody here, Comes from somewhere, That they would just as soon forget, And disguise. And you cried and you cried, You survived, you survived. Yeah you cried and you cried and you cried and you cried. Oh, you cried and you cried. Oh, you cried and you cried. Now there's nothing dark and there's nothing weird, Don't be afraid, I will hold you near, From the s?ance where you first betrayed An open heart on a darkened stage. A celebration, Of your teenage station. It's an experience; Sweet, delirious, Supernatural, sperserious. An experience, Sweet, delirious, Supernatural, superserious. |

I've been lost inside my head
Echoes fall on me I took the priceless night for complicated mess Persuading things I didn't mean and don't believe [Chorus] Believe in me Believe in nothing Corner me And make me something I've become the hollow man, I I've become the hollow man I see Oh, I see this echoing You have placed your trust in me I went upside down I emptied up the room Thirty seconds left I can't believe you held your ground [Chorus] I'm overwhelmed I'm on repeat I'm emptied out I'm incomplete You trusted me I want to show you I don't want to be the hollow man [Chorus] I see |

If the storm doesn't kill me the government will
I've got to get that out of my head It's a new day today and the coffee is strong I've finally got some rest So a man's put to task and challenges I was taught to hold my head high Collect what is mine, Make the best of what today has [Chorus] Houston is filled with promise Laredo is a beautiful place Galveston sings like that song that I loved Its meaning has not been erased And so there are claims forgiven And so there are things that are gone [Chorus] And some things, they fall to the wayside Their memory is yet to be still Belief has not filled me And so I am put to the test |

Sinking fast, the weight chained to my feet
No time to argue with belief I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping Faster than me What put me here? Nothing to hold on to Nowhere to brake [Chorus] Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key? Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me? No time to question the choices I make I've got to follow another direction (although fall down is much cooler) The last thing I remember was climbing up the stairs I threw the window open in challenge and despair I don't know what I needed I needed time I needed to escape I saw the future turn Upside-down and hesitate. [Chorus] Accelerate The vista I see now is changing Uncertainty is suffocating Our hope has never felt so great and Lit up down A pounding pulse To make it go Make it slow down, Go. [Chorus] The city's burning, it's like it's ready to explode Accelerate to make it slow Make it go Accelerate to make it slow Make it go I'm incomplete I'm incomplete I'm incomplete |

The battle's been lost, the war is not won
An addled republic, a bitter refund The business first flat earthers licking their wounds The verdict is dire, the country's in ruins [Chorus] Providence blinked, facing the sun Where are we left to carry on Until the day is done Until the day is done As we've written our stories to entertain These notions of glory and bull market gain The tele-prompt flutters, the power surge brings An easy speed message falls into routine [Chorus] A voice whispers "Son, The blessed vision comes." What have I done What have I done So hold tight your babies and your guns Forgive us our trespasses, father and son [Chorus] Until the day is done Until the day is done Until the day is done Until the day is done |

Mr. Richards, your position
Is a messenger pigeon Left behind you when the camp moved on. We thought that you would listen But the words had never crystallized Into a truth that you might own, hey hey. [Chorus] Mr. Richards, your decision. Pay attention, pay attention. Mr. Richards, you're forgiven For a narrow lack of vision But the fires are still raging on. The publics got opinions And these consequences border on The compound that you raised Will sell it see, hey hey. [Chorus] So listen, your intention; Sign the papers, stamp the ribbon. You're mistaken if you think we'll just forget. You can thump your chest and rattle, Stand in front of your piano, But we know what's going on. Yes we know what's going on. We're the children of the choir, hey And we know what's going on. Mr. Richards, your conviction Had us cheering in the kitchen, Now the jury's eating pigeon pie. So tell me how is prison? Have they taught you how to listen? We've begun to bridge the schism. Pay attention, pay attention. [Chorus] You can thump your chest and rattle, Stand in front of your piano But we know what's going on. Yes we know what's going on. We're the children of the choir, hey From the compound fire, hey And we know what's going on. Yes we know what's going on. |

It feels in dreams
That everything is there for you The city breathes and pulses It's for you electron blue I knew that you could see right through it So this is where I give in to the machine Lift up your voice feel gravity's pull Drown out the siren's ring (or silent dream) Oh... [Chorus] It's all here where I keep it It's all in the submarine It's all a lot less frightening Than you would have had it be But that's the good news my darling It is what it's going to be So sing, sing for the submarine I tried to explain how it all begins How its all destroyed and built again I knew that you could not believe me But now you're here and it's different How the light shines in your eyes In every second or situ It's then that I realized That the world as we know it The High speed train We'll pick it all up and start again [Chorus] The city did not collapse in a shudder The rain it never came At least my confessions made you laugh I know it's a little crazed But these dreams... They seem so real to me [Chorus] So this is where you trust me And this where it begins It's all a lot less frightening Your tear you let it in Tyrel and his mechanical owl A moth disguised as a leaf... Don't tell me what tomorrow brings Climb into the hidden machine and Sing sing sing sing sing sing Sing sing for the submarine |

I could have kept my head down
I might have kept my mouth shut I should have held my own, You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown. You're only as big as your battles. Rattle my cage with your shadow. I'm a phantom-weight with a mouth full of feathers, Don't you know that what comes around goes around? [Chorus] I'm not that easy, I am not your horse to water. I hold my breath I come around, round, round. Don't darken my doorstep again, You're mixing up living in chin-chin, You're mixing up lose with win-win, You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown. You stumble on glass top table, TV's chewing shock-gone cable Pump me up a beanstalk fable And I'll call this entertainment Cause Humpty's falling down. [Chorus] Pick a fight an ultra-buzzy bubble Friday night f**kin' fried-up pub crawl Phantom-weight with a mouth full of feathers, Don't you know that what comes around goes around? [Chorus] It's not that easy I am not your horse to water I hold my breath, I come around, round, round It's going down, down, down This runaround, round, round Is bound to pound The daylights out of you! |
