You got it going, you’re going on But you don’t know what you’ve got You’re like a dove baby can you play god Put on your glove and give it a shot You’re so cute, You’re so cute (huuuueerghgha) It’s your puke I remember the most I’ve seen that look in your lunch Just 22 and your fears are growing Here comes a new one tonight And I know why you love me for nuthin and I don’t know what you can hide and I fall like a fuzzy cadaver and you’ve had enough You’re so cute, You’re so cute (waaaaaaaghghghghghghuu) Hey hey hey You’re so cute, You’re so cute You’re so cute, Sudoku (huuuuaaaarruhhgh)

You smell like something I used to do, It makes me want to do it with you Back when I used to wear short skirts Ironed pleats, under sheets, what a flirt Let's get out of this space and get down, out of town I knew that face that I had to make Ring a bell, like a dog, make you salivate but now my new tricks have gotten old pick a card, any card, baby don't fold let's get out of this space and get down, out of town let's get up, let's get out of this space and get down, out of town let's get up, let's get out of this space and get down, out of town Just one whiff of that heady youth I'd crawl around and pour into your booth Unaware, while I stare, you make my blood growl Who's the dog now Who's the dog now

Fever is fueled through time by a thousand suns I don’t care if I am the only, the only one, yeah Steal time Feel the rhythm of the sun Steal time Feel the rhythm Your searches started so long ago I’ll carry on and on so I can know There’s no limit and there is no end It doesn’t matter, all the time you spend You offered up the dreams of your last born You leaped so far beyond your planet scorned The only way you’d see the journey through Is through me cuz I’m the better you Steal time Feel the rhythm of the sun Steal time Feel the rhythm Come linger long See the never setting sun Roam alone Knowing you’re the only one Linger long See the never setting Sun Roam alone Knowing you’re the only one Linger long See the never setting Sun Roaming alone Knowing you’re the only one Steal time Feel the rhythm of the sun Steal time Feel Steal time Feel the rhythm of the sun Steal time Feel the rhythm

Everything must be better from now on Everything must be better from now on Your words pop, like a kick drum The sound it hurts when I drop a pin and you cringe You don't say a word and then I sit and wonder how to pick it up Your words pop, like a kick drum The sound it hurts when I drop a beat and you cringe You don't say a word and then I sit and wonder how to pick it up Everything everything from now on Oh yeah Everything everything from now on It's so soft, like a low hum The sound it hurts when I drop a pin and you cringe You don't say a word and I sit and wonder how to pick it up It's so soft, like a low hum The sound it hurts when I drop a pin and you cringe You don't say a word and I sit and wonder how to pick it up Your words pop, like a kick drum The sound it hurts when I drop a beat and you cringe You don't say a word and I sit and wonder how to pick it up Everything, everything from now on Oh yeah Everything, everything from now on

Head down, ginger, rolling on the power Live more in a second than you do in an hour Blurry vision, thick air Go a little faster raising every hair Wait long enough a blink gets you there Life's lived in a tenth at bonneville If you're gonna make it the salts the only place you will Life’s given in a tenth at bonneville if you're gonna break it heart be still Face full of dust salt lake shower Skins too thin better call the tower Sore head, fire light I wake up screaming in the middle of the night Don't need no ticket nerves pay your price Life's lived in a tenth at bonneville If you're gonna make it the salts the only place you will Life’s given in a tenth at bonneville If you're gonna break it pray the winds be still Red hot piston running out of power Whole damn year burnt away in an hour blurry vision, bar light have another drink and it'll be alright Keep pushing on we go again tonight

Steam 03:42
lyrics

I walk through oceans Seas of dusty fields dry The branches are broken turning into dust on the ground Long since lost all leaves Move on Take My hand Close your eyes Steam will fill the land Wash away all of the lies I travel through mountains Through all of the forests high Your cities have spoken No one ever asks how or why we need technology Move on And Take my hand Close your eyes Steam will fill the land Heal those lies Take my hands Close your eyes Steam will fill the land Wash away all of the lies My body is broken All of my dreams are here now The water is flowing Running to the seeds in the ground No more needs to be done now

Rust 06:02
lyrics

Steal in close we chase the sun Due east at dawn, boiler on the run The world says leave, I'll fight to stay River red at dawn, you drift my way As we're turning them to rust Your hands upon my skin Turning them to rust, above the clouds Turning them to rust, your sweat falls on my brow Turning them to rust The pressure joins, the pressure joins us Silent passage in the dead of night A simple past of wrong and right Nighttime fails cut by the ray Torn apart again, by the break of day As we're turning them to rust, your hands upon my skin, Turning them to rust, above the clouds Turning them to rust, your sweat falls on my brown Turning them to rust The pressure joins, the pressure joins us Home for the aftermath Home with you Going home for the aftermath Home with you

Heavy on, the days keep runnin out Night’s tugging on my chain Kicking past your lost little lessons The Devil drives the rain Runnin and gunnin lay the hammer down I’m too far from home, just leave me alone Keep on rollin past the open ground It’s so clear, out here on your own Spinnin and grinnin not another frown I’m so far from home, just leave me Heavy on, another runnin hound Out here on the road I’m chilled out and cold My face set in stone yeah I’m so far from home Heavy I go You got carte blanche baby You’re tugging on my strings You hit me so hard revving I just want to hear you sing I still feel you humming When I’m lying in my bed All these bands of light running Reverse in my head Runnin and gunnin lay the hammer down I’m too far from home, just leave me alone Keep on rollin past the open ground It’s so clear, out here on your own Spinnin and grinnin not another frown I’m so far from home, just leave me Heavy on, another runnin hound Out here on the road I’m chilled out and cold My face set in stone yeah I’m so far from home Heavy I go

Take your time, got to get it right Makes no sense, that it's almost light Live up the feeling, oh so good Sometimes I don't think that I should Work so hard, at the break of day Doesn't matter when, done my way Take a little cash, from the man He won’t stop but I hope we can Make it go away, with all those little things we say The days are far from sight When we're livin love at night Days so long days so long Days so long days so long Share some love, make little art Never you mind, show a little heart Home in hand, lights down low Suns up early, we won’t let go Make your mind, choose to walk away Never think twice, what others say Make a new line in the sand Hold your ground, stare down a big man No matter what they say, I've got to do things my own way I'm only feeling right, when we’re dreaming late at night But nights done falling, and day times rolling in again The hours are crawling and i'm spinning every moment I can spend Days so long days so long Days so long days so long Take your time, got to get it right Makes no sense, it's almost light Live up the feeling, oh so good Sometimes I don't think that I should Work so hard, at the break of day Doesn't matter when, done my way Take a little cash, from the man He won’t stop but I hope we can Make it go away, with all those little things we say The days are far from sight When we're livin love at night But nights done falling, And day times rolling in again The hours are crawling and i'm Spinning every moment I can spend

Insane jellyfish I am not your mother I am, your sworn, protector! Holy shit this really blows I’m trapped inside this putrid world again I must pull myself together And piece myself together once again I wish I had my Lazer arm gun Morph ball Super missile Watch out for mutated blobs Why do all these mummified bird people have all my shit anyway Holly shit it’s a fucking dinosaur Holly crap that asshole’s going to pay I wish I had my Lazer arm gun Morph ball Super missile Watch out for mutated blobs When will you learn Don’t fuck with me I’ll crash your face Into a tree Destroy Space Pirates Smash Mother brain Acid rain
