1. How Are You
   had a dream i could turn back time
   had to stop to rewind my memory
   had a vision of the ruby sky we were riding high
   on our own pink elephant
   another day in this fucked up life
   another struggle just to get through nine to five
   maybe it was only ego talking
   but i always thought we were innocent

   how are you

   had the answer on my fingertips
   til i lost it in the wind like a friend ill never find
   deep in the belly is a love so thick
   and i thought i had it but makes me sick now
   im imagining the fields so green
   but i would settle for the truth in anything
   where im floating i cant feel my skin
   but i might get home
   i might get back again

   how are you

2. Too Close to the Sun
   high above your atmosphere
   do they all still cheer for who they think we are
   and once more past the sun again
   feelings sinking in i think weve gone too far

   and why did you fly did you burn
   cant you learn from my mistakes
   i have made them so i know

   bored just one more cup of tea
   all the stars and me theyll teach me how to shine
   cause life its so much colder here
   ill absorb your fears and bury them inside

   and why did you fly did you burn
   cant you learn from my mistakes
   i have made them so i know

   youre too close to the sun

   things we found so lovely
   turn so ugly
   ive grown nakeder day by day
   its quite disarming i find it alarming
   when everybodys listening

   why did you fly did you burn
   cant you learn from what weve learned
   i cant see you anymore

   youre too close to the sun

3. Black Black Heart
   something ugly this way comes
   through my fingers sliding inside
   all these blessings all these burns
   im godless underneath your cover
   search for pleasure search for pain
   in this world now i am undying
   i unfurl my flag my nation helpless

   black black heart why would you offer more
   why would you make it easier on me to satisfy
   im on fire im rotting to the core
   im eating all your kings and queens
   all your sex and your diamonds

   as i begin to lose my grip
   on these realities your sending
   taste your mind and taste your sex
   im naked underneath your cover
   covers lie and we will bend and borrow
   with the coming sign
   the tide will take the sea will rise and time will rape

   black black heart why would you offer more
   why would you make it easier on me to satisfy
   im on fire im rotting to the core
   im eating all your kings and queens
   all your sex and your diamonds
   all your sex and your diamonds

4. Alone In The Universe
   jamies on the bathroom floor she dont know why
   shes shaking underneath the sink cant feel a thing
   shed love to live a life shes too afraid of failure
   with all the voices in her head
   now what was that i thought i heard you scream

   i know you can feel it
   youre already there
   asleep underwater
   just screaming for air
   i know you can feel it
   youre already…
   dont you know were freaks and creatures
   wake up i can almost see the light

   i think were alone here you and i
   i think were alone left wondering why
   i think were alone here you and i
   i think were alone in the universe tonight

   alex on the last train home from god knows where
   a million miles away from where he thought hed be
   hes got his suit his tie his drink his mtv
   hes trading all his life away
   you cant escape were all infected now

   i know you can feel it
   youre already there
   asleep underwater
   just screaming for air
   i know you can feel it
   youre already
   dont you know were freaks and creatures
   wake up i can almost see the light

   i think were alone here you and i
   i think were alone left wondering why
   i think were alone here you and i
   i think were alone in the universe tonight

5. Butterfly
   you came apart on me last sunday morning
   choked and indicted by the truth
   and its always tough when theres never enough
   of the good things coming
   and there was never enough for you
   there was never enough for you

   butterfly
   where you gone
   i cant see you anymore
   my eyes are taken still too high
   came down naked on you
   butterfly
   where you gone
   i cant feel you any more
   i cant feel you any more

   got excited when i thought that we would last
   twisted inside out til we were drowning
   from the first attack we could never go back so we just keep on coming
   but i was never enough for you
   was there ever enough for you

   butterfly
   where you gone
   i cant see you anymore
   my eyes are taken still too high
   came down naked on you
   butterfly
   where you gone
   i cant feel you anymore
   i cant feel you anymore

   and if you think youre dying
   well you know i felt the same
   cause we were only hoping
   whys it always feel like feel like
   it feels like rain

6. Joy In Small Places
   well i woke up last night in a technology haze
   my eyes were all sparked
   from this common malaise
   so i found me a doctor who said hed even me out
   take my highs and my lows
   cause the colours were just too loud
   and as the day becomes night
   and we only want greys
   and the innocence runs out
   well this is the price to pay

   mr jangle what you gonna do when the sun breaks down and the rain pours through
   tell me baby what you gonna do this time

   you got caught on my teeth so i spit out my tongue
   and i cut off these hands just to see if the feeling would come
   and we drank til we drowned til we choked on the world
   and we bathed in the beauty of all of you

   mr jangle what you gonna do when the sun breaks down and the rain pours through
   tell me baby what you gonna do this time

   well i woke up last night just outside of myself
   skin hair bone broke down cell by single cell
   and i could not believe i had died in my sleep
   just drowned in the beauty of all of you

7. A Day In The Life
   did you feel small today when everyone had gone
   cause i was beaten up and jaded by the news
   and underneath the skin the truth is breaking through
   so they just sewed me up and spit me out
   and i cant change it
   i cant change this

   you you take away the world
   and i dont even know myself now
   so how can i know you
   and i dont want to die
   and i dont want to leave this place yet
   just give me one more try

   my thoughts are floating as reality explodes
   im whispering to each of you my friends
   and every moment seems to freeze frame through the room
   and all the colors are electrified
   but i cant see now
   i cant see now

   you you take away the world
   and i dont even know myself now
   so how can i know you
   and i dont want to die
   and i dont want to leave this place yet
   just give me one more try

   and im drifting through myself again
   tell me how i got so high
   where the conscience bends the air is thin
   and i cant change it
   i cant change this

8. My Way Out
   standing at the edge
   the edge of it all
   spitting off the top
   watch the day unfurl
   cannot see the view from this place
   clouds are on the rise world is out of faith
   took another pill to find my way
   hope that youll be there

   cause this is my way out of it tonight
   and this is my last chance to ease the fire
   and this is my way out of it tonight
   how about you

   borrowed from a dream
   that i used to know
   all my friends were there
   we watched the world explode
   took another drink to find my way
   just hope that youll be there

   cause this is my way out of it tonight
   and this is my last chance to ease the fire
   this is my way out of it tonight
   i might find one way to get through
   how about you

   and if i could remember
   if i could find a place a time the space to see another way home
   and if i could forget you
   maybe there’s no other way out
   no other way out

9. Blinded
   turn me out then turn me on
   pretty flower can you tell me whats become of who we are
   only asking what youd like tonight
   well take america
   just shake my tits and ass yeah well go far

   and if we wanted more
   then that was only what we thought our right was
   only wanted more but we were always blinded
   here we want to try
   but i can try to be as plain as daylight
   looking to the world
   but we were always blinded

   sell a little bit to you
   a circus sideshow but the makeups shining through its not so bad
   is there anyone to know
   forget my politics just sex me til im done its not so hard

   and if we wanted more
   then that was only what we thought our right was
   only wanted more but we were always blinded
   here we want to try
   but i can try to be as plain as daylight
   looking to the world
   but we were always blinded

   and all the stars are out for you
   and everybodys hiding here
   and all the stars have come unglued
   but everybody everybodys changing
   were changing

10. Closer
    you had to lose
    a funny thing the part we cant play
    id love to offer you with all the blame
    but now we have to choose
    another round for all my friends and me
    another poke at sensibility
    weve found out

    why are we floundering
    im drowning in the revelers sin
    ive taken you up on your offerings
    i dont even know its good bye

    you had to lose
    always knew that we werent quite the same
    i blew it up with everyone who ever knew me
    had to change
    a revidescent light to shine the way
    and were not always following the same way out now

    why are we floundering
    im drowning in the revelers sin
    ive taken you up on your offerings
    i dont even know its good bye
    goodbye
