The Freeze
03:52
|

Chiang in the space
All the space he needs
For hiding and cabling
And felony
High-rise acreage in bloom
The arrival
Has been delayed
Chiang knows the price
Of everything he needs
New papers and memories
Skulduggery
Oh, you’re such a brilliant mind
But skin and bones will yield
To force and cold
We know how stories are bought and sold
I beseech you, keep moving on
We know how stories of woe unfold
All told, it’s time to go
All out to sea
This painting
Made by Master Li
All out to sea
This, too, will pass
This melody
Chiang in a space
Of nothingness and peace
He’s liquid and shifting
Here comes the freeze
This could be the end of times
And when we go
We’ll be the first to know
We know how stories are bought and sold
I beseech you, keep moving on
We know how stories of woe unfold
All told, it’s time to go
We know how stories are bought and sold
Bravado, your will to power
We know how stories of woe unfold
All talk, it’s on the radio and fading
Keep
Moving on
I see your fire burning bright tonight
I see your fire burning

Just Before The War
03:40

We were
We were so
We were
We were so close
You are not family
I’ll sell you out eventually
Curtains fall, curtains rise
Pick your side and close your eyes
Cities
Believe it
Ooh, we were so close
Cities
Dreaming
Three cigarettes on the go
Cities
Believe it
Ooh, we were so close
Cities
Waiting
The heat, the statues, the smoke
Drums and wires keep the beat
Carsten signals where to meet
Happenstance, look what we found
Bow down low, hear the sound
Cities
Believe it
Ooh, we were so close
Cities
Dreaming
Three cigarettes on the go
Cities
Believe it
Ooh, we were so close
Cities
Waiting
The heat, the statues, the smoke
Break the glass and save our young
Race to beat the sun
Break the glass and save our young
Race to beat
The burning sun

We Lie In Wait
03:50
|
|||
Come on, meet your maker
Lives perfectly in disarray
Changing stations
Throwing new, unsteady shapes
See it true, see it straight
Clouds turn pearl-like pale
Pavement cracks
Read like finest poetry
For reasons passing
Understanding
We stay awake for days
And in time
The unexpected
Unforgiving light
We are troops
We lie in wait
Come on, lead me astray
Lost our faith in real estate
Sign away the farm
Make the pledge in vicious ink
Here comes the question
"Do you love it? Do you care?"
Eighteen months
M.I.A., am I alive?
For reasons passing
Understanding
We stay awake for days
And in time
The unexpected
Unforgiving light
We are troops
We lie in wait
Feet, don’t fail
Give me danger, give me fear
There’s a beat I just can’t hear

Grow Your Hair Again
04:06

Delete
Don't speak out loud
Keep it tight
No release
Slo-mo
Freeze-frame
Schtop
Rewind
Drop out, run, find some levity
Your eyes betray you, Anthony
Ooh, grow your hair again
Desire
The wild will to climb
Suspended in dead Eastern air
Slo-mo
Freeze-frame
Schtop
Rewind
Drop out, run, find some levity
Your eyes betray you, Anthony
Ooh, grow your hair again
And this is where she turns on the radio
To dance, dance, dance
Your eyes betray you
Schtop
Rewind

Burnt
In flight
In need of reinvention
Hang the sign outside
Keep the change
In disguise and overdressed
Like someone taller
No-one seems to be afraid
These days
I need a hideaway
Do not disturb
I'm doing fine
I need a hideaway
Don't make me step
Into the light
Rudie's got the darkroom
And connections
It's always wild around
The borderline
Could I learn to love this town?
Someone's daughter?
Later there is music and fights
I need a hideaway
Do not disturb
I'm doing fine
I need a hideaway
Don't make me step
Into the light
Time to find a new face
Time to find a new face
Never go home
You can never go home again
I need a hideaway
I need a place to call
I need a hideaway
I need a place to call my own
