Monday you woke up to mortal sky Your skin no longer silver and no lazer-beam eyes Once the trees bent back just to let you by But now now your mortal skin is gonna make you cry-ie-ee-ie You were up in Heaven when the sky was dyin' Volcano and tornado throwing dust into your wine Some ungodly wind whispered you will die 'Cause you've been so destructive to the human kind Now you're a man so you gotta get high on Librium Green But it's still better than G-d 'cause he don't know what you mean This ain't heaven or hell but some blue stone in-between

Calisto 04:07
Headed towards the Sun, you know, it's true I'm on the run looking for you Should I turn around? Climbing up and down the hills and valleys of the sound Looking for you Should I turn around? No! Headed for the moon, you know, I left the Earth in June I got a signal from you Should I turn around? Jupiter, she calls to me; she sings sweet haunting songs That lure me far away from you Should I turn around? Let me go about my business Let me go about my business Let me go about my business When the steel trap is snared I'll go running; running scared Headed for the stars; the black unknown They told me I would find you orbiting out there Should I turn around? And it's cold, and it's cold And it's co-ol-old And it's cold, and it's cold And it's co-ol-old Should I turn around? Let me go about my business Let me go about my business Let me go about my business When the steel trap is snared I'll go running; running scared

Entre Nous 04:19
Circles grind to circles in a never-ending grind Stars and squares stuck in your hair As I leave you behind If I can't relate to you then what's a boy to do? If I can't relate to your weird madness Entre nous Patterns jam to patterns in a never-ending cell Sticks and bricks might have broke my bones But our flames sent me to hell If I can't relate to you then what's a boy to do? If I can't relate to your weird madness Entre nous

Base Kamp 05:37
We were having fun like dreaming The Empire stole our guns and now I'm screaming again Gimme one day, just a day to relax Sleeping in this broken-down mountain hideaway We can all stay warm without these attacks There's a line for pills each morning Like a sedative train and we're all boarding friends Twenty minutes until the wall of fire Like a cup of warm light poured into a well Smiling hand-in-hand our eyes go black Green-blood William Tell Crossbow over his shoulder He'll never grow one day older 'Cause he's a hound of hell Where supermodel soldiers Crowded the battle plateaus Where the longest winter froze Now the Dying Days are over

Buildings 03:22
In this building I live on the top floor All these towers around but I'm not sure All the lower stories they seem so dark at night In this neighborhood things ain't quite right Birds are swarming around the thirteenth floor Of the high-rise tower thirteen blocks away I see the black top government cars arrive Elevate the threat alarm and stay inside

Wound Queen 05:03
I'm in love with a train wreck Deeply flawed; a derelict of G-d I'm in love with a Toltec Moving energy with nary but a nod I'm in love with a wound queen Nothing healed; nothing mended with a scar I'm in love with a star being A whirling dervish spinning galaxies afar I wanna wake up I wanna way; I wanna way out It's gunna play out I wanna stay; I gotta stay out It's gunna play out I wanna way; I gotta way out
