1) Signs Of Perfection
No ones impressed by these designs presented here for the first time - They let you down, they let you down. They’re all depressed, ok that’s fine – resented life without a spine. They life us up to let us down. And all these signs of perfection / Like rivals trading rival blows. All these kinds of perfection / Leave you with survival flow, leave you with their final glow. We’re all repressed, yes, that’s the line, we’ll sing in time and walk in line, We’ll let you down, we’ll let you down. It’s such a mess, she cries for time, we hold her hands, replay the crime They took her up to let her down. And all these signs of perfection / Like rivals trading rival blows. All these kinds of perfection / Leave you with survival flow, leave you with their final glow. Read our Guarantee of Quality, Follow our lunatic philosophy, Return our dogma by the return date, Return our dogma for a full refund. And all these signs of perfection / Like rivals trading rival blows. All these kinds of perfection / Leave you with survival flow, leave you with their final glow.

2) And So It Goes
The navigation functioned flawlessly, and past the station, past the fantasy. No longer fables to begin again, deep within we begin. External factors left him penniless, over abundances of wanderlust. Lack of systematic trust, greeting trust with disgust. And so it goes, and so it goes, and so it goes. You

3) Get Better Soon
Those butterflies spin, your impending arrival. The lights grow dim, it’s all about survival. Don’t waste time, unpacking your belongings - You know the crime is that, you can’t leave anything behind. Let’s fall away, and get strange all day, let’s fall away cuz I’m not well today. Your ideas shift from one dream to another, this nightmare drift – as much as you can muster. Your flowers came the day before tomorrow. I’m done, this game has taken everything from me. Let’s fall away, and get strange all day, let’s fall away cuz I’m not well today. But I’ll get better soon.

4) Our Surprise Decision
Hands clap and heads turn at the lame prediction. Of heads snap, unlearned and free of restriction. When time slips, a vice grip and a pale distinction. The mishap, the wire tap and stark repetition. Now you know what everybody knows. Find a clock collecting time, pace yourself and leave it all behind. Hand’s pray, child’s play with the same conviction. Heads sway on Sunday, an act of contrition. Time slips, delayed trip to our destination. From decoys to convoys and final restitution. Now you know what everybody knows. Find a clock collecting time, pace yourself and leave it all behind. Now you know what everybody knows. Wake up, shake up – leave it all behind. Heads snapped, we unwrapped our surprise decision. Now you know what everybody knows. Find a clock collecting time, pace yourself and leave it all behind. Now you know what everybody knows. Wake up, shake up – leave it all behind.

5) Just Drop Off
Oh oh, we’re leading but they’re gaining fast, keep your eyes on the fixation, keep your eyes on the fixation. Oh oh, we’re winning while they’re sinking fast, keep your hands where I can see them, keep your hands where I can see them. Just follow…and Step to the edges and just drop off. Oh oh, we’re moving, they’re licking at my heels, aim for the destination, just aim for the destination. Oh oh, we’re winning and don’t we both make nice role models for our generation, for our generation. Just follow…and Step to the edges and just drop off.

6) Another Way
One turn, inward, sends the whole team searching. You Earn, and Yearn, spend your whole life looking for Another Way. One burn, my turn, to leave the whole room shaking. Under, Thunder, spent my whole life looking for another way.

7) An Easy Sell
The crowd throws their hands up proud. Something’s lurking underground, here they come, come,we run, run. Graphically depict a scene, Affably be sick and mean, we sing, sing, sing, sing. Swing across a deep ravine, Jump to flashpoints we have seen, Swing over a sprawling scene, Jump into each other’s dreams. Disaster looms from door to door, extracting data from the floor, what’s it for, for, 4, 3, to her crooked digits and bent nails, reaching over blownback sails, we fail, fail, fail fail. Smoldered minutes burn into hours, Candyflips like windblown flowers, Just as quickly as it was ours, now defrocked of all our powers. Actions speak louder than words, but a picture won’t be heard, so we shout, shout, out loud, loud. Young philosophers have left the womb, Socrates is still in bloom, they read, they think, they speak, we blink. Uncertain in this quaking bed, from all the mysteries we’ve been fed, and all the rights that we’ve been read, the populace remains misled. Our random access memory fails, our random access beached like whales, this gale, gale is stale, stale. Something always rings a bell, something’s are an easy sell, show and tell, tell, tell. Tell them put literary thoughts aside, you’ll never execute the dial, you’ll never resist the hive, you’ll never take me alive.

8) One To One
If what you get is what you see, then I’ve got everything I need. If what you want is what you need, than I think everything is free. I’m always the one to run, you’re always the one that’s won, it’s always a one on one on one on one. If what you get is what you see, then I’ve got everything I need. If what you want is what you need, than I think everything is free. I’m always the one to run, you’re always the one that’s won, it’s always a one on one on one on one.

9) Cynical Weathers
Hey we’re like lemon and lime – let’s trade catastrophes right down the line. You be the crazy one, I will be the blind – together we’ll make the mirror ball shine. Hey, we’re like the eve and morn, let’s trade catastrophes and still be torn. I can be the one who follows tasteful rules – you can be the one hovering and smothering and blubbering fool. Let’s trade the weeds with the marigolds, pull up the sidewalk and tear down the scaffold. Let’s take the time to learn what nice is, and let’s swap our vices. Hey, we’re like the river and the sand, let’s trade catastrophes and let the acquittal stand. I could be the one with the money in the bank, you could be the one…fill in the blank. Let’s trade the weeds with the marigolds, pull up the sidewalk and tear down the scaffold. Let’s take the time to learn what nice is, and let’s swap our vices. Hey we’re like the panelists who can’t decide on the fate of a star. Hey we’ll keep our voices low when dancing in a bungalow and taking it all way too slow..only to let it go.

10) Start Again
Today is the day to stay sharp, Foray into mazes we chart, Dismay when we reach the tour de force. All day he was unrespondent, all ways he’ll never be despondent. All play no work makes a solvent sound. You can give up all you’ve won; I can be what I become - We will wait our turn and start again. Filthy, leave the windows open. Spill me and leave me in the ocean. Still be subliminal absorption now. Hasty, careless, too risky, Outpace me, and clock me after 50. Tasty, contrary to wisdom true. You can give up all you’ve won; I can be what I become - We will wait our turn and start again.

11) What's Said Was Spoken
In the picture he looks down, always in the background, we recognize the sound, he’s always on my bad side. In the same picture, she looks around – she’s always been on my good side, she makes out the verbs and nouns. It can’t be undone, what’s said was spoken. Something’s you just can’t take back. The damage is done, what’s said was spoken. The damage is done. In the nighttime, he moves on – puts one foot in front of the other, faster and faster though he climbs – he’s tripping over his own nightmares. In the evening, she takes down all of her rockstar posters and silently looks around and slips out the door. It can’t be undone, what’s said was spoken. Something’s you just can’t take back. The damage is done, what’s said was spoken. The damage is done.
