Complex

On the one hand there is the warmth of adoration
While on the other hand there is your sense of self-respect
Well on the one hand there is a spiritual love
But on the other hand there is the hunger of the flesh
On the one hand there’s transcendental meditation but on the other hand there are all your worries to distract
On the one hand there is that great big house
On the other hand there is your total inability to connect

And some don’t pick up the pieces, some don’t know what becomes of them
Some won’t wrestle with pieces, some just don’t know what to do with them
But I might rest on the big men, I might feed on their scraps

Is this my movie? Do I act or direct? Does the whore recognize all of the lives that she wrecked?
Is this my movie? Do I act or direct? ? Is it a cure or just a drug in all these discotheques?
Is this my movie? Do I act or direct? When everything we want, has got it’s hands around our necks
Is this my movie? Do I act or direct? Oh mother of God It’s all so complex

Gray pistol black pistol, hungry little knife, everything I carry in the back of my mind
Make a trade for my days, take the money, take a wife, everything looks different from the back of my mind
Gray pistol black pistol, hungry little knife, everything I carry in the back of my mind
Make a trade for my days, take the money, take a wife, everything looks different from the back of my mind
Gray pistol black pistol, hungry little knife, everything I carry in the back of my mind
Make a trade for my days, take the money, take a wife, everything looks different from the back of my mind

For the spirit of the infirmity, I never ask God to heal him,
I have to find that spirit and command that devil to turn lose

If I walk like Jesus, If I talk like Jesus
If I walk like Jesus, and I talk like Jesus
If I walk like Jesus, and I talk like Jesus
If I walk like Jesus, could I walk like Jesus
If I talk like Jesus, and I walk Jesus
If I walk like Jesus, and I talk like Jesus

And do I have to decide, do I have to decide
If I’m a hole in the wall, oh I can see it all

And is this my movie? Do I act or direct? Everything we want has got its hands around our necks
Is this my movie? Do I act or direct? Oh mother of God, it’s all so complex

Nobody came to throw the flowers on the grave, and the town lay down underneath the blanket of rain
Yeah we waited so long for a sign that we could be saved
As we drowned in the sound of the beach being touched by the waves

That godammed man, he seemed to know what’s inside out, and whispering, showed us there was no need to shout
Oh you know that godammed man, he took us for all we had, oh and that with nothing, we noticed it was not so bad
Not so

Nobody came to throw the flowers on the grave, and the town lay down underneath the blanket of rain
Oh we waited so long for a sign that we could be saved
As we drowned in the sound of the beach being touched by the waves

That goddammed man said time was something we made up, you made the wine he said now you can drink the cup
That godammed man he took us for all we had, oh, left then with nothing we noticed it was not so bad
Not so

Nobody came to throw the flowers on the grave, and the town lay down underneath the blanket of rain
And we waited so long for a sign that we could be saved
As we drowned in the sound of the beach being touched by the waves

We’re not strong like young love, we can’t keep up so don’t expect us to
No we’re not strong like young love, we can’t keep up so don’t expect us to

Simple

Hold on, take a deep breath, could it be that I have stumbled upon some big truth, some little death?
Was it a holy vision that I felt coming on? Oh everything looks different in the red glow of dawn yeah

Golden times, peaceful days, useless weight, fortune’s made patience for a passing phase
Golden times, peaceful days, useless weight, fortune’s made patience for a passing phase
Golden times, peaceful days, useless weight, fortune’s made patience for a passing phase
Golden times, peaceful days, useless weight, fortune’s made patience for a passing phase

It’s all so simple now

And so we hold on, take a deep breath, could it be that I have stumbled upon some deep truth, some little death?
Was it a holy vision that I felt coming on? Everything looks different in the red glow of dawn yeah

He sits at the waterfall, with no more need to have it all, and sinks like a setting sun
The beauty has just begun, yeah like a dog on the interstate, you make a narrow escape

And so you hold on, take a deep breath, could it be that I have stumbled upon some deep truth, some little death?
Was it a holy vision that I felt coming on? Oh, everything looks different in the red glow of dawn yeah

Slip

Parted like a golden sea, adrenaline rushes through me
Feels fast, hope the moment lasts forever (Yeah)
In perfect pink and gold it contained you, framing you so well (Slip)
And though the night was cold it was warm for you as far as you could tell (Slip)
And by the headlight’s glow we lost control, into perfect red I watched you go (Slip)
You leave me wondering how long I can survive

Take what we can from this, take everything we need to live
Breathe in every inch of this for my love
Blush red over my pale skin the moon unscathed above our heads
Dizzy, I feel your hands on me and I sink

(I slip) In perfect pink and gold it contained you, framing you so well
(Slip) And though the night was cold it was warm for you, as far as you could tell
(Slip) By the headlight’s glow we lost control, into perfect red I watched you go
(Slip) You leave me wondering how long I can survive

This delicate slip is a perfect fit I can’t keep my hands off of it
Pink and gold and the headlights glow and I’m not myself
Your silken slip is a perfect fit I can’t keep my hands off of it
Pink and gold and the headlights glow I’m not myself

Feels so good to feel like this, sink inside and slip in it
I fade from view against the black, single star arching it’s back
Feels so good to feel like this, sink inside, slip in it
I fade from view against the black, single star arching it’s back
Feels so good to feel like this, sink inside, slip in it
I fade from view against the black, single star arching it’s back
A single star arching it’s back
A single star

In perfect pink and gold it contained you, framing you so well (Slip)
And though the night was cold it was warm for you as far as you could tell (Slip)
By the headlight’s glow we lost all control, in a perfect red I watched you go (Slip)
You leave me wondering how long, how long, how long

This delicate slip is a perfect fit I can’t keep my hands off of it
Pink and gold and the headlights glow, and I’m not myself
Feels so good to feel like this, sink inside and slip in it
I fade from view against the black, single star arching it’s back

Shadow

Oh no, wasting away, better try for something new, I’d really like to stay but I’m leaving
Oh no, here comes another day, better try for something new, say what you wanna say to the ceiling

This is not about the way you walk, this is not about the way you talk
It’s about the choice you made and the price we’re paying
This is not about the way you move, this is not about the way I burn
It’s all about your shallow shadow

Oh no, wasting away, better try for something new, I’d really like to stay but I’m leaving
Oh no, here comes another day, better try for something new, say what you wanna say to the ceiling

Cause you’re chemical laden kicking the gate in and growing so hollow
Yeah, you been chemical laden kicking the gate in and growing so hollow and you know

This is not about the way you walk, this is not about the way you talk
It’s about the choice you made and the price I’m paying
This is not about the way you move, this is not about the way I burn
It’s all about your shallow shadow

All about your shallow shadow

And that’s why when your lover tells you not to wear your heart upon your sleeve, it’s all you can do to keep still
When you know you’re not invited and they’re happy when you leave, you wonder if you’ve taken your fill

Oh and you know
This is not about the way you walk, this is not about the way you talk
It’s about the choice you made and the price I’m paying
This is not about the way you move, this is not about the way I burn
It’s all about your shallow shadow

All about your shallow shadow, all about all about, your shallow shadow

Oh no, wasting away, better try for something new, say what you wanna say to the ceiling
Oh no, here comes another day, better try for something new, I’d really like to stay but I’m leaving

Lucid

Leaving your life to it’s means, shut down inside but still remain
Labeled and lying in our plain surroundings, never unveil, never seeing

Lights on, lights on, light
Lights on, lights on, light

Your life has meaning, without purpose, we lay sleeping

Lights on, lights on, light
(Have you had enough)
Lights on, lights on, light
Lights on, lights on, light
(Have you had enough)
Lights on, lights on, light, light

Save all your sight for seeing, save all your tongues for tasting
Pleasure exists for the experiencing, pleasure of humans only love

Lights on, lights on, light
(Have you had enough)
Lights on, lights on, light
Lights on, lights on, light
(Have you had enough)
Lights on, lights on, light
(Have you had enough)

Empire

(Watch in fascination as we fall)
(Is the empire answering, hello hello hello)

Who makes up the numbers, puts them in the places, I can adjust the details until all the places fit
Who puts up the buildings, stacked up on the islands, working through the night because they don’t know how to quit
What cuts up the pieces, puts them on the table, feeds them to you lovingly until it makes you sick
Watch in fascination as we fall

We know it’s them on the phone and yet we take the call
You can’t fight love or death, hey man, we got it all

Watch in fascination as we fall
Watch in fascination as we fall
Is the empire answering, hello hello hello
Watch in fascination as we fall

Tell me, who makes up the numbers, puts them in the places, I can adjust the details until all the places fit
Who puts up the buildings, stacked up on the islands, working through the night because they don’t know how to quit
What cuts up the pieces, puts them on the table, feeds them to you lovingly until it makes you sick
Watch in fascination as we fall

We know it’s them on the phone and yet we take the call
You can’t fight love or death, hey man, we got it all

Watch in fascination as we fall
Is the empire answering, hello hello hello
Oh we know it’s them on the phone and yet we take the call
You can’t fight love or death, hey man, we got it all
(Watch in fascination as we fall)
(Watch in fascination as we fall)
(Is the empire answering, hello hello hello)
(Watch in fascination as we fall)

Equilibrium

Push the fishing boat out into the flow, down on the cavern walls the gateway’s exposed
Yeah and you start to wonder where are we going? And where have we gone?
In the land of the blind are the visions all gone?
In the land of the blind are the visions all gone?
Yeah, you try to hold on, you try letting go
You try to make contact but they’re never gonna touch you

You push, you pull, equilibrium, you give, you take, equilibrium
You push, you pull, equilibrium, you give and you take, equilibrium
Reach for equilibrium, reach for equilibrium, reach for equilibrium

Pull the fishing boat straight into the flow and roll it over the water with such presumed control
Yeah, and you start to wonder where are we going? And where have we gone?
In the land of the blind are the visions all gone?
In the land of the blind are the visions all gone?
Yeah, you try to hold on you try letting go
You try to make contact but you never let them touch you

You push, you pull, equilibrium, you give, you take, equilibrium
You push, you pull, equilibrium, you give and you take, equilibrium
Reach for equilibrium, reach for equilibrium, reach for equilibrium

Remedy

Let’s you and I take a drive, the shadows are beginning to swarm
This winter we can survive by keeping each other warm
And for every evil under the sun there is a remedy or there’s none
If there is one, then seek till you find it, if there is none, then never mind it

The more I know, the more I fear, the more I need to get you out of here
The more that you grow, the more than you see, the more I need to find a remedy
I’ll do anything to make you feel alive
Oh, my Lord, let’s you and I just drive

Let’s you and I take a drive, the shadows are beginning to swarm
This winter we can survive by keeping each other warm
For every evil under the sun there is a remedy or there is none
If there is one, then seek till you find it, if there is none, then never mind it

The more I know, the more I feel, the more I need to get you out of here
The more that you grow, the more that you see, the more I need to find a remedy
I’ll do anything just to make you feel alive
Oh my Lord, let’s you and I just drive

Lalalalalala there is a remedy, Lalalalalala just keep on driving
Lalalalalala there is a remedy, Lalalalalala just keep on driving
Lalalalalala there is a remedy, Lalalalalala just keep on driving
Lalalalalala there is a remedy, Lalalalalala just keep on driving
Lalalalalala there is a remedy, Lalalalalala just keep on driving
Lalalalalala there is a remedy (I need a remedy) Lalalalalala just keep on driving
Lalalalalala there is a remedy, Lalalalalala just keep on driving
Lalalalalala there is a remedy, Lalalalalala just keep on driving
Lalalalalala there is a remedy, Lalalalalala just keep on driving
Lalalalalala there is a remedy, Lalalalalala just keep on driving
Lalalalalala there is a remedy, Lalalalalala just keep on driving
Lalalalalala there is a remedy, Lalalalalala just keep on driving
