Up on a hill
here's where we begin This little story long time ago Stop to pretend stop pretending It seems this game is simply never ending Ah in the sun sun having fun it's in my blood I just can't help it don't want you here right now Let me go Let me go go go go go go go go Leaving just in time stayed there for a while Rolling in the ocean trying to catch her eye Work hard and say it's easy do it just to please me Tomorrow will be different so I'll pretend I'm leaving I feel so different now we tried to deviate We should learn to stay My vision's clearer now but I'm not afraid Flying overseas no time to feel the breeze I took too many varieties Ah in the sun sun having fun it's in my blood I just can't help it don't want you here right now Let me go Let me go go go go go go go go Leaving just in time stayed there for a while Rolling in the ocean trying to catch her eye Work hard and say it's easy do it just to please me Tomorrow will be different so I'll pretend I'm leaving |

Soma is what they would take
when hard times opened their eyes Saw pain in a new way High stakes for a few names Racing against sunbeams Losing against their dreams In your eyes, I am Stop, and go In your eyes, I am Stop, and go In your eyes When I saw her for the first time lips moved as her eyes closed Heard something in his voice And i'll be there, he says and he walks out Somehow he was trying too hard to be like them And I am Stop, and go In your eyes, and I am Stop and darling let me go Try it once and they liked it, and try to hide it Says I've been doing this twenty-five years Well I'm not listening no more And these friends they keep asking for more Oh yeah Oh but thats it |

Oh the strange to impress on me
Old friends don't realize I'm here I wish two drinks where always in me Oh today I'll have the perfect day Take me to the water Make me in the sky But I was wrong For me tomorrow is my first day So please don't turn me in the wrong way It's almost after midnight I can see the city lights are here Change your mind tonight You belong to the city now With your clothes And now I know You belong on the radio I swear I'll give it back tomorrow But for now I think that I'll just borrow All the chords from that song And all the words from that other song I heard Yesterday Change your mind tonight You belong to the city now With your clothes And now I know You belong on the radio I will not disturb you I was just the child in you The color blame me |

I think I know what you mean
but watch what you say 'cause they'll be trying to knock you down in some way. Sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep. How do you wake someone up from inside a dream? Your mind would wander and and search for its place in the night. Your body followed this feeling like following light. Once that your music was born it followed you 'round and then it gave your activities meaning and let you be loud. You're sad but you smile. It's not in your eyes. Your eyeballs don't change. It's the muscles around your eyes. An egg to fertilize, A pulse to stabilize, A body to deodorize, A life to scrutinize, A child to criticize, Young adults to modernize, Citizens to terrorize, Generations to desensitize. You're dreams are sweet and obsessed and you're overworked. You're overtaken by visions of being overlooked. How disappointed would D.(edad) I.(dealistic) D.(esperate) I.(nventor) P.(ioneer) P.(hiosophers) be to see such power in our hands all wasted on greed? Am I a prisoner to instincts or do my thoughts just live as free and detached as boats to the dock? Just like when music was born and detached from your heart. Is your free time to free minds or for falling apart? Night after night you turn out the light. You don't fall asleep right away. "Are we... are we done?" A desk to organize, A product to advertise, A market to monopolize, Movie stars to idolize, Leaders to scandalize, Enemies to neutralize, No time to apologize, Fury to tranquilize, Weapons to synchronize, Cities to vaporize. |

Cause they will never let you be They thrill you or sedate you But they will never let you see Amber evening sun Amber evening sun In parent and deranged you Watch you walking scared along Despite intimidation Used to watch you dance along Amber evening sun Amber evening sun Call you a sappy whiner Someday you'll come back and I'll be dreaming of a sundown I don't wanna make your heart And break your heart in two halves Give point and forget, fun have to meet Eye of the sun, miss you so much Tell me what you do, nothing will do All actors they're pretending And singers they sometimes lie Oh kids are always honest Cause they don't think they're ever gonna die You're the prettiest smartest captain of the team I love you more than being seventeen Amber evening sun Amber evening sun |

Two can be complete without the rest of the world
Two can be complete without the rest of the world Two if hardy people that have died for sake An entire generation that has nothing to say How to make your way to me Oh last night you made a deal with me And I got your name and your on my chest And you're all dressed up with your big red belt And you almost said that you might need help I could drop you off at the next red light If it don't make sense or it don't feel right All the girls could never make the love in the way I love you Can't you see the sky is not the limit no more? I can see the earth later crashed in the floor I can still see yesterday sailing away Seven billion people who got nothing to say Oh you can't belong to me Oh I saw your face and I had that song It was so inviting and hurt my bones Well it looks like you but your eyes are grey And your hair is gone but your mind's okay Yes I like your smile but your heart it's cold I don't want you to be afraid and go I would cheat and lie and steal now stay I'll only kneel for you I was waiting For my baby, to arrive Right by my side Oh please Leave me alone tonight Forget the past Two can be complete without the rest of the world Oh you know I said it just to get you to lie Two if hardy people that have died for sake An entire generation of entertainers to blame Lied & dread Can't withdrawn Get yourself a lawyer and a gun Hate your friends be friends like everyone Try to dink them be so competitive Oh the sky it's not the limit And you never gonna get forties |

Soma is what they would take when
Hard times opened their eyes Saw pain in a new way High stakes for a few names Racing against sun beams Losing against fig trees In your eyes And I am Stop And go In your eyes See I am Stop And go In your eyes Let's go When I saw her for the first time Lips moved as her eyes closed Heard something in his voice 'And I'll be there', he says Then he walks out Somehow he was trying Too hard to be like them Well I am Stop And go In your eyes And I am Stop Oh, darling, let me go Tried it once and they like it Then tried to hide it Says, 'I've been doing this 25 years' But I'm not listening no more And these friends, they keep asking for more Oh, yeah Oh, but that's it |

[The Lonely Island]
Imagine in your mind a posh country club The stuffy old money where the poor get snubbed The spread is bland sauerkraut and boiled goose There's no way these people will ever cut loose But then I walk in the room, hold my boombox high And what happened next, will blow your mind [Julian Casablancas] Everything got outta control The music was so entrancing Everyone got out on the floor It was a bunch of old white people dancing [The Lonely Island] Now picture if you will a bunch of business men Stuffed in the boardroom like pigs in a pen The ties around their necks are like a hangman's noose In the middle of the table there's a boiled goose The old people smell makes you want to puke in the sink These dudes will never dance, yeah that's what you think I stride in the room all young and hip Hold up my boombox and say listen to this [Julian Casablancas] Then everyone started to move People rejoiced instead of financing Your preconceived notions were shattered By these super old white people dancing [The Lonely Island] The Big Apple, where people never dance Spirits go down while profits expand The cops or the dealers, who's got the juice The street benders peddling their boiled goose So many types of people will never get along Till I bust out my boombox and play this song [Julian Casablancas] The music washed away all the hate And society started advancing Every demographic was represented It was a rainbow coalition of dancing Whoa ! Everyone was wearing fingerless gloves Whoaaaaaoaaaaaoh ! I saw a Spanish guy doing the Bartman [The Lonely Island] Transport now to an old folks home Where the elderly are tossed on their brittle bones The orderlies are stealing, there's no excuse Everyday for lunch they eat boiled goose So I grabbed my boombox and hit the turbo base And what happened next was a total disgrace [Julian Casablancas] Everybody started having sex The music was way too powerful A bunch of old people fucking like rabbits It was disgusting to say the least Oh! A boombox can change the world You gotta know your limits with a boombox This was a cautionary tale A boombox is not a toy |

Take me away See I've got to explain Things, they have changed In such a permanent way Life seems unreal Can we go back to your place? Oh, 'You drink too much' Makes me drink just the same People tried. Felt so right Giving themselves good advice Looking down sometimes felt nice... He knows it's justified to kill to survive He then in dollars makes more dead than alive Let's suck more blood, let's run three hours a day The world is over but I don't care 'Cause I am with you Now I've got to explain Things, they have changed In such a permanent way Life seems unreal Can we go back to your place?

Somewhere along the way my hopefulness turned to sadness
Somewhere along the way my sadness turned to bitterness Somewhere along the way my bitterness turned to anger Somewhere along the way my anger turned to vengeance And the ones that I make pay Are never the ones who deserve it And the ones who deserve it they'll never understand it Yes, I know I am going to hell in a purple basket At least I will be in another world, while you're pissing on my casket How could you be Oh So perfect for me? Oh Why can't you ignore Oh The things I did before? Oh Somewhere along the way exacting vengeance gave excitement Somewhere along the way that excitement turned to pleasure Somewhere along the way that pleasure turned to madness Sooner or later that kind of madness turns into pain And the ones that I made pay were never ones who deserved it Those who helped me along the way, I smacked them as I thanked them Yes, I know I am going to hell in a leather jacket At least I will be in another world, while you're pissing on my casket All that I can do now is sing a song of faded glory And all you got to do is sit there, look great, and make them horny Together we will sing songs and tell exaggerated stories About the way we feel today, and tonight and in the morning How could you be Oh So perfect for me? Oh Why can't you ignore Oh The things I did before? Oh And take all your fears And pretend there all true And take all your plans And pretend they fell through And that's what it's like Oh That's what it's like for most people in this world The rich or the poor, oh Muslims or Jews, oh When roles are reversed, oh Opinions are too, oh That's all I'm gonna say now Right before they come knocking on my door now |

Stuck in a lava flow of brake lights I can hear a rattling bass drum Driving back to where it came from Sit back, oh I shop, therefore, I am the cause Protect me from what I was Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it Timing is everything, timing is everything Timing is everything, timing is everything Timing is everything, timing is everything I'm at your feet where critters meet Who should be asleep and not crossing roads or highways In the afterlife of super cities, rapidly devouring its outskirts It's neon octopus arms redecorating late at night Robot camp for kids who hate sports Mothers crying at the airport Finding the dreams you left behind to do Waving goodbye, your young heart cries for you Sit back, oh You're finding it hard To get very far But we were born waiting in line Grabbing the future by the eyes Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it Timing is everything, timing is everything Getting the hang of it, timing is everything Getting the hang of it, timing is everything Timing the hang of it, getting is everything Getting the timing of everything hanging is Hanging the getting of, timing the everything Like batteries we die, like rivers we dry We fuel and recharge, that's humans and cars My fun, my sun, be my homework done Where did you go? You were my ride home Is that what we want? Is everything shot? Is that what you ask for? 'Cause that's what we got Nothing stands still Nothing stands still |

I hear it in your silence, when you don't speak
What was funny then isn't funny anymore I can hear it in your voice, there's always a catch We're going nowhere and we're going there fast Anything to watch while we are waiting For this apocalypse, what more is there to do? Its nice to be important, but so close to being despised Its more important to be nice, I guess, that being wise I'll take you shopping; I'll take you dancing too I'll take you out, all the things you wanna do I'll give you diamonds and I'll give you space So be with anyone you want, its alright with me Our time is over Don't you know that if a time-warp was open I'd stay right in my place That war is over I hear it in your silence, when you don't speak There is a quiet crying rage burning inside you so deep I'll give you anything, but I'll give you problems So be with anyone you want, its alright with me I hear it in your voice, can see it in your lips There's always a catch, I guess that's alright with me No one's around, but the map says "you're here" Now I can hear loneliness screaming in my ear Our time is over Don't you don't that if a time-warp was open I'd stay right in my place The war ain't over yet This war ain't over yet Being nice is only hard when others aren't Our time is over |

I live on the frozen surface of a fireball Where cities come together, to hate each other in the name of sport America, nothing is ever just how you plan I looked up to you but you thought I would look the other way And you hear, what you want to hear And they take what they want to take Don't be sad, won't ever happen like this anymore So whens it coming? This life's new great movement that I can join The warning here Your faith has got to be greater than your fear Forgive them even if they are not sorry All the vultures, bootleggers at the door waiting Your are looking for your own voice, but your nervous While it leaves you trapped in another dimension Drop your guard, you don't have to be smart all of the time I got a mind full of blanks I need to go somewhere new fast And don't be shy, oh no, at least deliberately No one really cares or wanders why anymore Oh I got music, coming outta my hands and feet and kisses That is how it once was done All the dreamers on the run Forgive them even if they are not sorry All the vultures, bootleggers at the door waiting Were so quick to point out our own flaws in others Complicated, man was on the wings of robots If you believe in this world your not inviting me But don't think that yet, to the top, now know what to do |

Everything seems to go wrong when I start drinking,
Everything seemed to go my way last night. Everything seems so wrong to me this morning, I know things'll be brighter later tonight. On Ludlow Street, Chinatowns coming on Ludlow Street. Porta Ricans are runnin' on Ludlow Street, Soon musicians will haunt it, On Ludlow Street Red Indians once hunted, And it's hard... to just move along. While I surrendered my ego you fed yours, All my fantasies died when you said yours, I have dangled my pride to forget yours, Will my mind be at ease when I get yours? We'll find out, soon enough. It started back in 1624, The Lenape tribes would soon get forced from their home. Soon we'll all get pushed out now, as soon as I get sober. I remember why I drank it all away, On Ludlow Street. Nauseous regrets are calling me on the phone, My shoes they seem to be my only home, The only thing to last will be my bones, Oh tonight you'll hear the animals next door to you moan. On Ludlow Street Faces are changing on Ludlow Street Yuppies invading on Ludlow Street Night life is raging on Ludlow Street History's fading. And it's hard... to just move along. While I surrendered my ego, you fed yours. All my fantasies died when you said yours. I have dangled my pride to forget yours. Will my mind be at ease when you get yours? We'll find out soon enough. While they defended their ego, you fed yours. All their fantasies died when you said yours. They have dangled their pride to forget yours. Will their souls be at ease when you get yours? We'll find out soon enough. I'll found out soon enough. |

Running in the parking lot, I'm four years old I am lost, those were the days The soft murmur of voices in the other room Comforting you, as you fall asleep Staring at the mother-daughter clones go by We're in a race against time And time might be winning And it's not gonna take all day long Watching the urban decay all around us, oh boy And I'm on my way on somewhere Feels like I'm going left and right in the dark How long must we wait, how long must this take? Wake up I'm ashamed I think maybe sometimes I might have used tricks to make you like me more When I found you I was running wld Let's get outta here, and let's travel there I wanna know what are you baby 'Cause I think, I think you don't know Sliding across the Indian wildnerness Like the wind gliding down soft roads. 6am and you're in Hollywood And you're dancing, we made it We are turning back the Earth so fast That it feels a lot slower And it's not gonna take all day long Watching the urban decay all around us, oh boy And I'm on my way on somewhere Feels like I'm going left and right in the dark How long will it take To fix what they break Wake up Your Achilles heel is you like to feel Your fingers on the wheel Some live in a palace some live in the sewer. The director, the actor,the crew and the viewer. Boys get their toys and girls get their dolls and Nothing much gets easier in the final stages How you're spending the day is the same as your life. And you're watching the time run away. Wait up Wake up |

I wish I could sound as soothing as the rainfall But I am only a drop from the storm Feel like a tourist out in the country Once this whole world was all countryside Feel like a tourist in the big city Soon I will simply evaporate They took the strings up north, the drums down south After they crossed Afghanistan a long time ago You're shuffling your feet into the next dimension Soon skyscrapers will be everywhere I feel like a tourist lost in the suburbs Soon the whole world will be urban sprawl Feel like a land lover out on the ocean Feel like a teardrop streaming off your chin Some will bet against you, try even to prevent you But not many can stop you man, if you got a perfect plan Can they possibly try - I demand to know why they would doubt you? In this hand, a thousand generations... Feel like a tourist out in the desert So hot it feels like the Devil's breath Feel like a tourist out in the swampland This world is just patches of water and land Everywhere I go I'm a tourist But if you stay with me, I'll always be at home |

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 else's voice. Slippin' your body through the street. I'm sending your girlfriends to the night, for cheat. Wearing a jacket, play the 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. Running for the rights, Sleep into 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 else's 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 when it turns to rust. Gossip is a truth. (?) 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. |

Sister, visited us 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. 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. Line 1 I can't let you do those things when it means, It's so early I don't want to wake up. oh we're so lucky 'cause we never grew 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 that, on anything else, that could maybe hurt the most. 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. |

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 |

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 |

Animals on TV singing about something that they once felt
텔레비전의 동물들은 한때 느껴봤던 것들을 노래해 There's no one I disapprove of more or root for more than myself 내가 나 자신보다 찬성하거나 혹은 반대했던 사람은 없어 I wanted to pretend that it was better, better, better on the phone 전화할 때 내가 점점 나아지고, 더 나아지고 있는 척 하고 싶었어 I didn't wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous and alone 내가 질투하고, 또 질투하고, 혼자 있다는 사실을 네게 말하고 싶진 않았어 So we talk about ourselves and how 그래서 우린 우리에 대한 이야기를 하고 어떻게 To forget the love we never felt 우리가 느껴보지 못했던 사랑을 잊어야 하는지 Oh, we owed jokes that work so well 우린 잘 먹히는 농담들에 빚지고 있어 You never were so sure, was the moment 넌 한 번도 그렇게 확신한 적 없었지, 그런데 그 순간은 너무나 확신했어 Don't try to stop us 우릴 멈추려 하지마 Don't try to stop us 우릴 멈추려 하지마 Don't try to stop us 우릴 멈추려 하지마 Get out of the way 내 앞에서 사라져 Got to get to climb your tree in the light of the living ghost I see 내가 보는 살아있는 유령의 빛 속에 있는 너의 나무에 올라야겠어 She sees her father in the old man's eyes while secretly he stares at her thighs 비밀스레 그가 그녀의 허벅지를 바라보는 동안, 그녀는 아버지를 늙은이의 눈 속에서 발견하지 Animals on TV singing about something they felt at some point 텔레비전의 동물들은 어느 순간에 느꼈던 것들을 노래해 I didn't wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous.. what's the point? 내가 질투하고 있다고, 질투를 하고 있다고 말하고 싶진 않았어.. 이래봤자 무슨 소용이지? As I watched the bell with drapes appear 장식된 벨이 드러나는 걸 보는 동안 And the door was closed for 40 years 40년간 그 문은 닫혀 있었지 'cause we hide what we don't wanna hear 우리가 듣고 싶어하지 않는 것들을 숨기고 있었으니 As we hide our dreams, near here. 우리가 꿈을 숨길수록, 그건더 가까이 있어 He is coming from a part of hell 그는 지옥의 한 편에서 왔어 Where like Nanbu I don't go down well 난부처럼 내가 받아들여지지 않는 곳에서 He can't tell that when oblivion 아무것도 모르는 그는 구분조차 할 수 없어 It's a ditch strung out, routine as well 그 자체가 쭉 뻗어있는 도랑처럼 뻔한 일이야 Making fools out of the best of us 우리들의 좋은 부분을 놀리고 Making robots of the rest of us 좋은 것들을 뺀 나머지로는 로봇을 만들어 In that sense I tell in America today 오늘날의 미국에서 나는 구분할 수 있어 There's a crack, just like going out westward 서쪽이 굴러가는 모양새처럼 거기엔 금이 가있어 Don't try to stop us 우릴 멈추려 하지마 Don't try to stop us 우릴 멈추려 하지마 Don't try to stop me 날 멈추려 하지마 Get out of the way 내 앞에서 사라져 |
