Альбом Apartment 26

Give me more
like that
we watch it settle down
and capitalize on whatever moves
grab a little bit for your friends
before they catch you.
You better hide yourself away
now they've set off to come capture you.
get rid of that evidence
they're gonna catch you.

help me decipher
secrets. please don’t tell.
can I borrow some sugar?
give me more.

on my own
they're gonna get you
and all stretched out
they're on their way now
it feels like I’ve been here for hours
and I am all stretched out.

then when you show your hands
see them glow eight shades of red
bit late to think of alibis
just answer the question.
here's where the truth comes out
veil lifted, your secrets out
quit crying innocence
they've already got you.

help me decipher
secrets. please don’t tell.
stand up! make us proud!
carry on your back.
hold on, you're not done yet
finish what you started.
can I borrow some sugar?
give me more.

(then a chorus, then verse one+two combo, then last chorus)

accumulate into one
the second half has begun
and I’m not the judge.
innocent are hung
remain unsung
and I hold a grudge.
take a stab in the dark
and then it comes as a shock
finger on the pulse.
everything that can
happens to the man;
see the mannequin smile.

when I am running out
I am running out.
I am running out.

switch the moon and the sun
shield and the gun
clip after clip.
I’d love to stay and watch
make mine what you clutch;
empire slips.
the weight is too much to hold
excuses old
I realize.
everything that can
happens to the man
see the mannequin smile.

you don't get it like I get it. (you don't get it) like I do.
you don't get it like I get it. (you don't get it) like I do.

when I am running out
I am running out.
I am running out.

empire slips.
excuses old
I realize.
everything that can
happens to the man
see the mannequin smile.

when I am running out
I am running out.
I am running out.

The situation is critical.
Evacuate, alarm, strapped down and still.
Flicked switched will detonate;
causing me no harm till I'm cut to size.

I call to memory times I
hold you down like that.

Does anyone believe it's me
that I'm trying to rescue?
There's something like a void I feel,
and I'm dying to tell you.

The situation is critical.
Evacuate, alarm, strapped down and still.
Flicked switched will detonate;
causing me no harm till I'm cut to size.

I call to memory times I
hold you open.

Does anyone believe it's me
that I'm trying to rescue?
There's something like a void I feel,
and I'm dying to tell you.

It's causing us no harm,
so hold me open, calm me down
like that.

I'm just a selfish man
you will not let me be, no.
give you whatever I can
somehow I'm the enemy.
I hope you understand
it's not my job to explain
you are the lucky one
I am the selfish king.

because I remember what you told me.
I'm the one that you adore
get you through this stupid world
make you laugh and make you cry
I'll be sticking 'round a while.

now I want you
go go go go go go go !

no time for also-rans
no place for apologies, no.
I got a simple plan
tell me are you in or out now?
just an idea of mine
this here's decision time
you think the game is won
I'll put you to an end.

because I remember what I told you.
you're the one that I adore
get me through this stupid world
I must be crazy, don't know why
I'll be sticking 'round a while.

I am the selfish king, my rules will keep you in
mishaps and dumb mistakes? go on and pull the other one.
I am the selfish king, livin out a tired reign.
you better play my game, unless you know another way.

I remember.... I remember what you told me
because I remember what I told you
(chorus...)

now I want you
now I want you
now I want you
now I want you!

you would not believe what I saw
one hundred million faces
screaming at me from behind a wall
they cut the wire, those bastards.

it wasn't enough to bleed and never enough
to lure you down the corridor
yeah, my room's right at the end.
set to expel, and I was
a steady increase, yes I was
and I'm getting ready to return it to you.

and now I'm so far gone
just thinking about it.
I haven't changed my mind
so forget about it.

I'm unafraid of those approaching dogs
yeah, fuck them I'm five times their size
cut off the balls, gauge out the eyes
turn down the sound and adjust the lighting.

I don't have enough to feed you and
your mouth full of uncertainty
the image that I'm left with
is both pleasing and confusing.
I will put up a fight and I will end up forgetting
to return it to you.

now I'm so far gone
just thinking about it
I haven't changed my mind
yeah, forget about it.
it is not enough to beat
no not enough to warrant you breaking my bones
I said I'm so far gone
just forget about it.

be kind. rewind.
You'll get a fine.
I'm getting ready to return it to you.

now I'm so far gone
just thinking about it
you haven't changed my mind
yeah, forget about it.
it is not enough to beat
no not enough to warrant you breaking my bones
now I'm so far gone
just forget about it.

alright fine. Go on be like that.
see how much it matters when the crowd begins to chatter
about you and the state you're in
doesn't mean a thing doesn't mean a thing.
I resign, not even born.
expect the worst to happen and no more disappointments
it doesn't mean a thing, doesn't mean a thing (no!)
say goodbye to it, say goodbye to id.

like a savior, coming down
you got just enough time now rest assured.
the savior is coming down
you got just enough time now rest assured
if you want to step up and be my friend
sorry sir, you can't contend
if you wanna step up and be my friend
sorry baby, you can't come in.

I'm not blind, I can see where this is going
my lips are sealed and I'm not even speaking
that's fine, cause I get it now
my level of excitement just enough so you dot notice
what did I say? what did I say?
better check the records, make sure everything is covered.
turn around, come on, shake it up shake it up.
it doesn't mean a thing.

like a savior, coming down
you got just enough time now rest assured.
the savior is coming down
you got just enough time now rest assured
if you want to step up and be my friend
sorry sir, you can't contend
if you wanna step up and be my friend
sorry baby, you can't come in.

the savior is coming down... you got just enough time, now rest assured...
don't mean a thing if it aint got that swing.

the savior
is coming down (it's coming, it's coming)
if you want to step up and be my friend, sorry baby you can't contend.
if you want to step up and be my friend... sorry sir you can't contend.

WHAM-O !!!!!

My resolution this year? I'll disappear completely.
My absolution nearer, I'll reappear discretely

Calling underground people,
with your underground hearts;
You could start a mainstream fire
with your underground sparks.
Keeping all your underground thoughts
from the surface above,
Realize it is inside those minds
where revolutions start.

Your only failure will be thinking you see right through me.
When things become much clearer, I'll know just where you have been.

On and on I feel you slide
deep into my memory, slowly.
I look behind to find you stood in front of me,
adding to elements of subtraction.
Taken from that backwards heart,
and mistaken for love,
I search for ways to compensate for
simple words no longer true to me.

My resolution this year? I'll disappear completely.
My absolution nearer, I'll reappear.
Your only failure will be thinking you see right through me.
When things become much clearer, I'll know just where you have been.

Suddenly I'm in a place I've never seen before.
In front of me a faceless figure that I've seen before;
Undeterred by motions of distraction, and it's coming to me.

Your life (undeterred my motions of distractions)
You're right (and it's coming to me)
You're alive (undeterred by motions of distraction)
But your mind wont think what it's supposed to.

I tread the field again
and awake myself with my intentions.
as my deep sleep subsides
I do my best not to disrupt the rest.
my shape relies upon
a kick to the head, but I'm safe
oh no, it seems as though a thought just leaked out.

I see something, a smoke blurred vision
of preconceived notions. stop the snap-around with twisting action.

I feel it kicking at my head
trying to tell me
not to let up where I stand, now.
well, I tell you...

I tend to fall apart
when I end up in this situation.
watching the passing time
I hope we can escape the t.v. set.
all clues are telling us
we could have turned left at the last light.
oh no, I think I've gone and let another thought out.

I feel something, a spatial essence
I came out screaming. stop the snap-around with twisting action.

there's something kicking at my head
trying to tell me
something I must ignore
to make it.

I feel it starting to fade. responsible for another downfall.
try to resist the change. twists inside you until you pull it out.

signal, enter, trusting, warmer, through.

signal, say no, signal, signal the downfall. down.
signal, say no, signal, feel, say no, say no, signal. feel.

I see it starting to fade. put down the plan for the perfect downfall.
try to resist the change. twists inside you until you just pull it out.

I'd really like to. I really like you. (till out).

Mrs. Kirby, you shouldn't have
Serve me. Get it.
Entertain the thought of sheer elation.
Hold tight. Tighter.
Immanent dives 'til the sun rises.
Entice. Approach.
Chill to the thought of pure delight.
Venture deeper.
Every moment is it's own occasion.

Sorry, who are you? My memory's hazy.
Thoughts I can't control, they drive me crazy.
Let us relive them tonight.
Sorry, who are you? Seductive lady.
Thoughts I can't control will drive me crazy.
Of course I will set you right.

You'll find out
Abruptly
That you're cold
The water was warm.

Do remember summer?
Maybe you'd like another
Just take a number
and wait your turn, just wait
We light a fire, ignite and burn

Come back. Give it.
Cogitate the fear of raw elation.
Hold tight. Tighter.
Subsequent fibs and compromises.
Aching for more.
Deliberative moves, immaculate planning.
Venture deeper.
Immanent dives 'til the sun arises.

You'll find out
That you're cold.
The water was warm.

I watch it all spill out
I watch it all spill out
and then you tell me just how wrong I am.
and it drifts too far
I let it drift too far
then you hit me with the wink of an eye.

Close your eyes
it's safe for you, safe for you.
forfeit your mind.
it's safe for you, safe for you.

I see it all come around
I see it all come around
and then you tell me just how right I am.
Yeh, you like it now
bring the enjoyment back
then you hit me with that look of surprise.

(two more choruses, and we're out)

the exit passes you by
as they proceed to dance
a shadow disrupts my light
eternally almost over
can you still hear me down there?
I set my sites at the core
there is not enough here for us all
in heaven everything is fine
you've got your good things, and I've got mine
in heaven this could be divine
so much better kept in your mind

you tore apart the inside
leaving the outside clean
I'm shouting at the brick wall
just to hear my own echo
each and every day
taken the wrong way.

(Chorus)

who knew?
illusions that re-define
so much safer kept in your mind.

(Chorus)

in heaven
in heaven everything is fine
everything is fine

with strong intent I set the goal
now spin the wheel, let the dice roll
I just try to be aware!
arms stretchin out to take it all
now spin the wheel and answer the call.
I just try to be aware.
I'm so enlightened by every corner of this box I chose
to live in. impatiently I wait.

feeling alright?
you're the one I lean toward.
gonna get it right
you're the one I lean toward.

what kind of purpose do you have?
I never meant to make you mad
just try to be aware!
I wait for you, to keep the peace
drippin with sweat and filth and grease
you should try to be aware!
oh the stakes are increasing
you know it's just a business to me
oh the insanity
just take it by the scruff of the neck

(chorus)

you say you don't feel safe
so cover up your head
quit lookin over there
where do you want to go?
feel free to take a seat
just try to be aware!

that I am the devil
dressed up like you
to lure you into a
false sense of security oh wait ...

(chorus)
