The shock was fast
( Blown cover. )
( Break. Fix. )
Shock, fast
( Dead computer. )

The shock was fast
( Up to speed and then rewinding )
( Up another grade. )

I'm testing all circuits, to see if they all work
I'm throwing on all switches, to see which ones don't work

The shock was fast
( Blood sucker. )
( Fat lip. )
Shock, fast
( Silver bullet. )

The shock was fast
( Now I need a part to hide in. )
( Now I need a play. )

I'm testing all circuits, to see if they all work
I'm throwing on all switches, to see which ones don't work
( Wish that I could leave my room tonight. )
( The fast attack on my compressor's way too bright. )
( Think I got the threshold on too tight. )
( Just restart and hope that everything will be alright. )

Mail off the rebate and send it to me.
It's wearing itself out.
It's running itself out.
Feel like a two-fer
Let's repair the machine
It's wearing itself out.

It feels like it could just go on forever

Sitting at a bus stop
Trying to take my shoes off,
But my laces are all knots and you
Looking for an answer to an old question
So easy I can't explain it
And everything I say to you will probably come out wrong anyway.

Made it to the trolley
Looking for my transfer
Cause the place is full of cops and you...
Looking for an answer to an old question
So easy I can't explain it
And everything I say to you will probably come out wrong anyway.

You take my seat again.....
You take my seat again.....

You take my seat again.....
You take my seat again.....

Late at the station
Feeling all wound up
Got to walk several blocks past you.
Try to read a t-shirt,
Thinks that I'm a pervert.
Sorry, wasn't getting fresh, but...
And everything I say to you will probably come out wrong anyway.

There in front of me.
It's there in front of me.
It's there in front of me.
It's there in front of me.

Sitting at a bus stop
Trying to take my shoes off,
But my laces are all knots and you
Looking for an answer to an old question
So easy I can't explain it
And everything I say to you will probably come out wrong anyway.

Made it to the trolley
Looking for my transfer
Cause the place is full of cops and you... ( You take my seat again..... )

Here to my house
In no seconds
Count the footsteps
Count the seconds

Near my house...
In no seconds
Count the footsteps
Count the seconds

Inside this leaking submarine the hull is closing in the water is above my ankles and I still can't get you off of my....
I don't think that we can pull this one off.
We shall see, time will tell but, why does it taste like salt water inside of my mouth?

Some day I will sail again to a distant shore far away
I will sail again to a distant shore far away...

If the line snaps and there's no air, will you hold me?
If I'm asleep, will you wake me?
If this rises and we hit the waves, will you dive back down?

Some day I will sail again to a distant shore far away
I will sail again to a distant shore far away...

Hi Ho
Some things tugging on my leg and there it goes...
Shallow water must be on the horizon but still too far to go
Spilling blood so fast I can't keep up much more

Sorry, sorry. Can't go no more
Sorry, sorry. Can't go no more
Sorry, sorry. Can't go no more ( Farway )
Sorry, sorry. Can't go no more
Sorry, sorry. Can't go no more ( Farway )
Sorry, sorry. Can't go no more
Sorry, sorry. Can't go no more
Sorry, sorry. Can't go no more
Sorry, sorry. Can't go no more

Inside the wave
Inside the wave

Coming from behind the wall
Coming from beneath the floor
Coming from behind the wall
Coming from beneath the floor

Suddenly I hear the sound ( The walls close in around me. )
Coming from behind the wall ( Old habits fade far from me. )
Suddenly a door appears ( The ceiling falls about me )
Coming from beneath the floor ( and the sky is open to me now. )

But my hands are tied
and the ropes are tight around my wrist.

Steadily we climb again ( Makes me sick. Think to hard on the other side. )
Step into a hidden room ( Can't stare too long at the softest light )
Searchin' for another out ( Old wounds get infected by the )
Found a tunnel heading down ( Heat of an oven gone cold too long )
Suddenly I hear the sound ( Get my mind off the pain with the medicine )
Coming from behind the wall ( Just the idea of a thought brings it round again )
Suddenly a light appears ( Get my mind off the pain. Off the pain. )
Rapidly some something nears... ( Get my mind off the pain. Off the pain. )

But my hands are tied
and the ropes are tight around my wrist.

Bucket and a shovel
On a sand dune.
Building castles.
Knocking them down
Wading too far
Out of my sight.
Gonna work me over
For a misdemeanor
In too long.
Out of bed.
Way too slow.

In a found cut scene from an empty film.

The walls close in around me.
Old habits fade far from me.
The ceiling falls about me
but the sky is open to me now.

Bucket and a shovel
On a sand dune.
Building castles. ( But my hands are tied )
Knocking them down
Wading too far
Out of my sight.
Gonna work me over
For a misdemeanor ( and the ropes are tight around my wrist. )
In too long.
Out of bed.
Way too slow.

Forever wishing someone near the goal
Forever pushing sisiphus would know
Forever wasting promise as it goes
Foresenics (sic) show a summer in the hole, buddy

Hands from the sky
Rip me open
( Suffer begin )

Oh, Penelope
Are you filled with air?
Swallowed oxygen that make you float up?

Is it dropsy?
Where your lungs swell?
It's depressing me to see you struggle.

Oh, Penelope
Are you filled with air?
Swallowed oxygen that make you float up?

Is it dropsy?
Where your lungs swell?
It's depressing me to see you struggle.

I'm treading water with my oars
Glass galleons anchored, ocean's floor
I'm diving down with all my gear
In search of treasure, para me corazon...

Take you to the forest.
Let you feel the raindrops falling down
Seeping through your red scales
Eliminate the faucet
Eliminate the need for water
Replace it with a safe shell

Don't want to see you floating upside down
On the top of the bowl when I come around to visit you

Don't want to see you floating upside down
No, girl
Need you there
Need you there
Need you there
Release that air

I'm treading water with my oars ( Release that air )
Glass galleons anchored, ocean's floor
I'm diving down with all my gear ( Release that air )
In search of treasure, para me corazon...

Take you to the forest.
Let you feel the raindrops falling down
Seeping through your red scales
Eliminate the faucet
Eliminate the need for water
Replace it with a safe shell

If they summon the rains now
Are you gonna rise?

If they summon the rains now
Are you gonna rise?

They came from so far away
( cellars of Norway )
where children play in viking bands.
( sun won't shine all day )

No one seemed to notice that they came that distance.
They just stood outside and smoked and talked their business

Play that song again and go to hell when you die.
Wave goodbye at you as you tune your guitars.

Play that song again and go to hell when you die. ( didn't we? )
Wave goodbye at you as you tune your guitars. ( wave goodbye...... )

And they played and you watched and you yelled at the drummer
as he poured on the flames and you passed out on key.

Play that song again and go to hell when you die. ( didn't we? )
Wave goodbye at you as you tune your guitars. ( wave goodbye...... )

Play that song again and go to hell when you die. ( didn't we? )
Wave goodbye at you as you tune your guitars. ( wave goodbye...... )

Gettin' that band outta my sight.
Gettin' that band outta my sight.

And they played and you watched till the end of the summer
When they boarded their planes and you walked out
Fell the floor
Soaked up and sweating
Fell the floor
And I'm forever empty.....

Got to wipe my feet off, now
Got to kick the shoes.
There's a lot of empties on the ground.
Got to fill some new ones.

I know some day they're gonna exercise a reasonable
amount of strain on my simple way.

A simple lack of feeling ( something.. )
A simple lack of fuel. ( empty.. )
A simple lack of energy to play, ( someway, )
create, and make it through the day.

I know some day they're gonna exercise a reasonable
amount of strain on my simple way.

I know some day they're gonna separate the part of the brain
that can discriminate the friendly from the enemy.

You are the enemy...

There's a lot of bodies on the ground.
I know. I used to be one.
I learned I'm not the kind of guy who'd cheat a friend to make it through the day.

I know some day they're gonna exercise a reasonable
amount of strain on my simple way.

You are the enemy...

We head for land
We're pressed for time
We head for land
Request the time
I moved away
I know the way
I looked away
I looked away

Your eyes
My skin
Your pool
All in

We head for land
We're pressed for time
I moved away
I know the way
I'm all ready

Within without
Fall in fall out
Without within
Breathe out
I'm all ready

Your eyes
My skin
Your pool
All in

Dry ice
Dry eyes
Dry ice
Dry eyes

Keep it low around here
Keep it low around here
Keep it

Within without
Fall in fall out
Without within
Breathe out
I'm all ready

Within without
Fall in fall out
Without within
Breathe out
I'm all wrapped in

Dry ice
Dry eyes
Dry ice
Dry eyes

Keep it low around here
Keep it low around here
Keep it low around here
Keep it low around here
Keep it low around here
Keep it low around here
Keep it low

Something we both saw shattered all of us.
Something we both saw mattered all along.

In spite of all our work.
In spite of all our energy.
Because of all our ignorance.

Something we both saw shattered all of us.
Something we both saw mattered all along.

Took us for a ride
way, way off of course.
Took us for a ride
way, way off of course.

Gotta admit you got us good.
All this time I never got gaffle like that.
We believed all we heard.
We trusted you.
I never got gaffle like that.

Got a mouth
Insert the hook
Reel us in.
See you later.
Chain pulling man.

Gotta admit you got us good.
We trusted you.
See you later.
Chain pulling man.

Got a mouth
Insert the hook
Reel us in.
See you later.
Chain pulling man.

Gotta admit you got us good.
We trusted you.
See you later.
Chain pulling man.

( Never hurts, but it never. )
Got a mouth
Insert the hook
Reel us in.
See you later.

Gotta admit you got us good.
We trusted you.
See you later.

They're gonna kill us all

Oh Sheena kneels and prays over the graves
and wishes of her god to be so brave
the roses she had picked fall from her hand.
On to the ground which will soon hold her

Sheena Bella
Sheena Bella

Oh Sheena Bella walks
and Sheena Bella strays
Oh, fetal Sheena counts off her last days
The colors of the grass
The shadows on the floor
The precious things that she had no time for.

She was only 4 years old.
She was barely 4 years old.

Sheena Bella
Sheena Bella
Sheena Bella
Sheena Bella

They're gonna kill us all

They're gonna kill us all

Take me there to the west
for I've been waiting to see you

Girl looks so sad.
Hair slicked back with raindrops from her walk outside
It's good to be sad, sometimes.
No need to hide your doe eyes.

Light from the air.
Red as the rose wrapped 'round her feet.
Yellow flower cup reflects on her chin.
Some would pay to know why.

Take me there to the west
for I've been waiting to see you

I'd, I'd move
I'd, I'd move today
I'd, I'd move
I'd move today ( away )

Can't see for sure.
Buckets of blood fall from her eyes.
Tears burn right through the floor.
No one knows why, or understands how she can cry in this way.
The Episun must have take'd one of her eyes.
The Episun must have take'd one of her eyes.
The Episun must have take'd one of her eyes.
The Episun must have take'd one of her eyes

Another tear in the sea
Another drop in the ocean
After the fall
Waiting to sink

Another tear in the sea
Another drop in the ocean
After the fall
Waiting to sink

Oh, solo mio
Oh, solo mio

It's all right now
Come closer
Talk to me

Oh, solo mio
(It's all right now
Come closer)
Oh, solo mio
(Come talk to me)

(Wrecking itself
Taking you with me)
Hello, hello, hello, hello

The more they was
The more they were
The more they wander from

The more they was
The more they were
The more they wander from

Another tear in the sea
Another drop in the ocean
After the fall
Waiting to sink

There's a definite feeling buried down
Wrecking itself
Taking you with me

There's a terrible reason buried down

Taking you with me
