We'll take a taxi to the show
We could report by phone We could remind ourselves that We must laugh Reconsider: 'fame' I need new reasons This is detention it's not fun at all Remind me to smile You know, 'the old friends' line It gets so I feel like I'm in this cold, glass, cage I've got the horrors Check, over my shoulder I punch the air and fight but No-one's there You you - Oh no Old scars - don't show We fall - you see Crawl crawl - in love I dive - so clean Young things - don't scream Toys toys - so far Boys boys - you are (Chorus) Get off the car Get off the phone Move from my window, leave me alone Keep your revivals Keep your conventions Keep all your fantasies that's all we are |

We're in the building
Where they make us grow And I'm frightened by The liquid engineers Like you. My Mallory heart Is sure to fail I could crawl around the floor Just like I'm real Like you. The sound of metal I want to be You I could learn to be a man Like you. Plug me in And turn me on Oh everything is moving. I need my treatment It's tomorrow they send me Singing 'I am an American'. Do you? Picture this If I could make the change I'd love to pull the wires from the wall Did you? And who are you And how can I try Here inside I like metal Aren't you All I know Is no-one dies I'm still confusing love with need. |

The alarm rang for days
You could tell from conversations I was waiting by the screen I couldn't recognize my photograph Me, I disconnect from you I was walking up the stairs Something moved in silence I could feel his mind decaying Only inches away from me And I disconnect from you Please don't turn me off I don't know what I'm doing outside Me and the telephone that never rings If you were me what would you do Me, I disconnect from you |

They won't come back
You know it's always the same And they're sure to forget Saying "everyone lies" So I'm down to this I'm down to walking on air And you're here by my side With all your waving and smiles Please keep them away Don't let them touch me Please don't let them lie Don't let them see me |

Hello, I'm the aircrash bureau
I bet you're so surprised to see me I could specialise in rumours I'll send shivers up your spine Pilot, back, I need my squadron I was flying before D-day Now I'm warning you of falling I'll tell you when you're going down Sometimes I get these questions It reminds me of the skin game We used to stand around on corners Saying 'well here we are again' So now she motions closer Now that's what I call romance Someone's calling me but vaguely You need the feeling not the man |

And M.E. I eat dust
We're all so run down I'd call it my death But I'll only fade away And I hate to fade alone Now there's only M.E. We were so sure We were so wrong Now it's over But there's no one left to see And there's no one left to die There's only M.E. Why should I care Why should I try Oh no, oh no I turned off the pain Like I turned off you all Now there's only M.E. |

The problems of need I need you
Obscene dreams in rusty beds No one came here tonight I pulled on me, I need to I un-stick pages and read I look at pictures of you I smell the lust in my hands Everyday I die Her favorite trick was to suck me inside Oh so very art nouveau completely false Feelings of love I don't No one knows, but that died years ago I un-stick pages and read I look at pictures of you I smell the lust in my hands Everyday I die |

I don't like the film
I don't like the film Play it all back Play it all back And I don't like the scenery And I don't like the set so Pull it all down Pull it all down But I like the actors And I like the show We're so exposed We're so exposed Anything can happen Anything can happen Don't let them see Don't let them know And you wonder why And you wonder why Turn off the lights And turn off the sound |

There's nothing here but us
There's nothing here but us Remember, I was vapour Remember, I was just like you Remember, I was liquid Remember, I was someone too Remember, I need others Remember, I need oxygen Remember, I need lovers Remember, I need to forget Chorus Remember, I am human Remember, I feel just like you Remember, I had reasons Remember, I had friends like you Remember, I grow tired Remember, I could end all this Remember, I have memories Remember, I need to forget |

Oh it's so easy
When parts take over My conversation Is nothing more than lies You're just the viewer So cold and distant I've no intentions Of saying "I love you" My conversation We are not gods We are not men We are not making claims We are only boys You are not strong You are not force You are not regular You are just wrong There are no faces This is my complex You are my picture I call you 'mirrors' These are not my tears Not my reflection Am I a photo? I can't remember My conversation |

You are distraction
Like pictures on the wall I don't like eyes You are attraction It gets to be routine You're up I'm down She's got claws But the factory knows We're dreams in cold storage We could dance the night away You say you love me Maybe you do A patience I can't steal I don't believe you You said 'straight' It's like giving up hope Here on the ground On the floor Screaming nothing at all Here on the ground Like some whore Looking down on you all Too much advice. I'm not sure. Laughing hyenas With pens for charms You'll just suck in the boys We have to leave soon Shut the door This house is far too cold She's got claws But the factory knows We're dreams in cold storage We could dance the night away |

Here in my car
I feel safest of all I can lock all my doors It's the only way to live In cars Here in my car I can only receive I can listen to you It keeps me stable for days In cars Here in my car The image breaks down Will you visit me please If I open my door In cars Here in my car I know I've started to think About leaving tonight Although nothing seems right In cars I know I've started to think I know I've started to think |

I am the final silence.
The last electrician alive. And they called me 'The Sparkle'. I was the best, I worked them all. New ways, new ways. I dream of wires. We opened doors by thinking. We went to sleep by dialing 'O'. We drove to work by proxy. I plugged my wife in, just for show. New ways, new ways. I dream of wires. So I press 'C' for 'comfort'. I dream of wires, the old days. New ways, new ways. I dream of wires. |

Send in eyes
Thoughts of crashing All those pictures Send in thoughts of John the God Send in dreams Lovers on corners Clean my sheets Your only chance is break the "States" (Chorus) We are clean Don't ask I'm an agent Send in change Secretaries Nothing more You can be replaced You know Send in chance Bad conditions Talk of leaving Talk of walking out on me (Chorus) Send in you Send in pain Send in lies Send in words that I believe Send in you Stick on pretty aircraft nose Nothing much to care about Send in you Just watch the face You're sure to see Something Give this game away Send in you Get her out Get her out Call me Just don't say the name (Chorus) |

Send in the guards
We are all new faces I'm so sorry But my reasons are wrong My reasons are wrong We are on joy circuit The image fix Rewind, cry Well it's somewhere to go Well it's somewhere to go Tell me of your pain Love it, love it Show me the new way Love it, love it It's so unusual But all I find is a reason to die A reason to die |

This is not love
This is not even worth a point of view In echo park I Pause for effect and whisper who are you? They crawl out of their holes fro me And I die: you die Hear them laugh, watch them turn on me And I die: you die See my scars, they call me such things Tear me, tear me, tear me But I have your names Screaming 'you will suffer' and 'you're all too late' Now I feel young Does everything stop when the old times lapse They crawl out of their holes fro me And I die: you die Hear them laugh, watch them turn on me And I die: you die See my scars, they call me such things Tear me, tear me, tear me But I'm still running from the telephone |

Why cry now
It's over Feelings change How are you Now am I Cry, the clock said I know little of romance And these little tract houses I know seven less of you And if you should ever think of me Maybe as a game you lost Well someone I know lost the whole damn world No more this talk of they're out to get me Just slide out of Sydney and I can never go back How could I be surprised How could I even believe Cry, the clock said I'll forget who you are I'll forget one of these days Cry, the clock said |

Where are the tracks?
Where are the lines? Where are the tracks, dear? Where is the time? You were so cold You were so slow You were so old And we were unsure And I want your lines And I want your time And I want your face, dear And you can have mine |

Down in the park
Where the machmen Meet the machines And play 'Kill by numbers' Down in the park With a friend called 'Five' I was in a car crash Or was it the war But I've never been Quite the same Little white lies Like 'I was there' Come to 'Zom Zoms' A place to eat Like it was built In one day You can watch the humans Trying to run Oh look There's a rape machine I'd go outside If he'd look the other way You wouldn't believe The things they do Down in the park Where the chant is 'Death, death, death' Until the sun cries morning Down in the park With friends of mine We are not lovers We are not romantics 'We are here to serve you' A different face But the words never change |

Stroll to the cafe
My God how time flies I close up my brain And another friend dies I feel like a mirror Feel like nothing is mine I could go back to crying But now dying seems fine So I hang from the ceiling Or I sit on the air Or rot in a corner Until somebody cares Faces at random I quote people I knew I'd love to be like me If I could feel like you Here am I, more roche five than pain Here am I, just me and my walls to blame Here am I, I really don't feel quite sane Here am I, still searching for my shadow in vain Lock my door I only think in black and white I'll even try to look ashamed Moving out of central Somebody knows me well Says he'll spill the whole story He may be lying I can't tell Meet me inside I'll keep my head to the floor And one hand on the handle Of the mad/sane door Here am I, more roche five than pain Here am I, just me and my walls to blame Here am I, I really don't feel quite sane Here am I, still searching for my shadow in vain Lock my door I only think in black and white I'll even try to look ashamed My shadow in vain My shadow in vain My shadow in vain My shadow in vain My shadow in vain |

Now I'm behind glass
I'll talk to you The telephone lines blind You have defaced my face I bet you laughed at me You bright young things And now I need no-one I miss you, so Please push no more Please push no more Now it's all over for sure I'll walk back home We must all come down We all grow old We are close, we are hurt So that was love And love she kills me It needs to, so Please push no more Please push no more Please push no more Please push no more |

it's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls There's a man outside In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette Now the light fades out And i'm wondering what i'm doing in a room like this There's a knock on the door And just for a second i thought i remembered you So now i'm alone Now i can think for myself About little deals And *issues* And things that i just don't understand Like a white lie that night Or a slight touch at times I don't think it meant anything to you ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By GARY WEBB <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |
