I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life.
Let's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives. I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, and fuck with the stars. You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars. This is our decision, to live fast and die young. We've got the vision, now let's have some fun. Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do. Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute. Forget about our mothers and our friends We're fated to pretend To pretend We're fated to pretend To pretend I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home Yeah, I'll miss the boredem and the freedom and the time spent alone. There's really nothing, nothing we can do Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew. The models will have children, we'll get a divorce We'll find some more models, everyting must run it's course. We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end We were fated to pretend To pretend We're fated to pretend To pretend Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah |

This is a call of arms to live and love and sleep together We could flood the streets with love or light or heat whatever Lock the parents out, cut a rug, twist and shout Wave your hands Make it rain For stars will rise again The youth is starting to change Are you starting to change? Are you? Together In a couple of years Tides have turned from booze to tears And in spite of the weather We could learn to make it together The youth is starting to change Are you starting to change? Are you? Together The youth |

All along the western front People line up to receive She got the power in her hands To shock you like you won't believe Saw her in the amazon With the voltage running through her skin Standing there with nothing on She's gonna teach me how to swim Ooh girl Shock me like an electric feel Baby girl Turn me on with your electric feel All along the eastern shore Put your circuits in the sea This is what the world is for Making electricity You can feel it in your mind Oh you can do it all the time Plug it in and change the world You are my electric girl Ooh girl Shock me like an electric feel Baby girl Turn me on with your electric feel Do what you feel now Electric feel now Do what you feel now Electric feel now |

You were a child crawling on your knees toward it makin mama so proud But your voice is too loud We like to watch you laughing Picking insects off of plants no time to think of consequences Control yourself take only what you need from it A family of trees wanted to be haunted Control yourself take only what you need from him A family of trees wanted to be haunted The water is warm but it's sending me shivers A baby is born crying out for attention Memories fade like looking through a fogged mirror Decision to decisions are made and not bought But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot I guess not Control yourself take only what you need from it A family of trees wanted to be haunted Control yourself take only what you need from him A family of trees wanted to be haunted Control yourself take only what you need from it A family of trees wanted to be haunted Control yourself take only what you need from it A family of trees wanted to be haunted Control yourself take only what you need from it a family of trees wanted to be haunted Control yourself take only what you need from it a family of trees |

I feel your racing heart My liquid silver arms extended These waves aren't far apart Black gold in clawfoot tubs unchanging I am fire, where's my form? Whisper crimson I intrude There's light beneath your eyes New overtones in view Endless form, endless time If what they say is true You are a shadow in the fourth dimension To float away with you We see the corners where nothing happens While we drifted we were one Ceilings lifted walls were gone You speak the language of the breeze All your leaves were meant for me The love that every person wants to be Stuck together, I don't like revealing secrets I'll live inside your lips if you won't laugh My heaving hands on rotten fruit at last Fallow fingers, there's a surface I can count on She'd fit inside my heart and take it over Till her cape got blown into my red lungs Either there's a purpose Or I'm heading out at breakfast Take a drink, take a drag One more coffee, ugly hat No more mirrors, woolen bag And I am gone |

When the world has turned Paralyzed and wrong Cold-blooded claws never offer Anything at all Past the point of love Shattered and untied Waiting to pick up the pieces That make it out alright But pieces of what? Pieces of what? Pieces of what doesn't matter anymore Moonlight on my floor Shining through the roof They got the city surrounded As if I needed proof I forgot my fear Feel it's on the rise Buried by all of the pieces Falling from the sky But pieces of what? Pieces of what? Pieces of what we used to call home Lay my dragon's teeth And shallow water steel At the belgian gates I'm waiting for my meal |

I just shook the handshake I just sealed the deal I'll try not to let them Take everything they can steal People always told me Don't forget your roots I know I can feel them underneath my leather boots You toss all the mornings lost to the clouds and you watch it go Your fairweather friends on a parachute binge get lost when the wind blows The handshake's stuck on the tip of my tongue It tastes like death but it looks like fun I was a loner I was just waiting by myself When you warped temptress Rose to bring me happiness and wealth Black tears black smile black credit cards and shoes You can call all the people you want But it's you who's being used Under your black eyes honey Right beneath your nose A curse on all creation Every single thing you know White smoke white light white marble on the floor It would only take a few seconds of darkness to figure out what's in store Little girl You convince yourself that you want it but you don't know You keep trying to wash the blood from your hands but it won't go We're gonna keep you on the run We got the handshake under our tongue We got the handshake under our tongue We got the handshake under our tongue We got the handshake under our tongue We got the handshake We got the handshake We got the handshake We got the handshake We got the handshake We got the handshake We got the handshake We got the handshake We got the handshake We got the handshake We got the handshake We got the handshake We got the handshake We got the handshake |

And there were future reflections On the face and the hands On a green colored island On a primitive man It was the future reflected It felt familiar but new A street was missing a building The kids had something to do There was a feeling the spirit was leaving Red like a marker So my tribe, with my knife Cut the heart from a lonely life I saw patterns on floorboards Deep in the dust was a leader Someone was walking on floorboards Turned them from oak to cedar He can assess the situation I wrapped a string around my finger Into the forest with the young ones I don't expect to be a winner But as long as you feel it I'm a believer My heart is phosphor Sea rolls and death tolls Break the surface don't break my bones Off of the trail and off of your hands and Onto a new plan Is the cost to stay lost Forever in an empty skin Pale and thin If it's good, or if it's fortune, I can't tell But pieces come together for some reason just as well Their guns couldn't see us There's a sea outside my door And one day I'll appreciate The rush of blood and the washed out beat of the shore And remember what it felt like To be alone Sitting in the sunlight All alone |
