Get up out of your bed, stick a fish bowl on your head,
It's time to blow this rock now!
For the longest time, man has needed to fly,
So tell me, are you ready?
We're heading to space, man,
To search among the stars,
Find out what were made of,
Who we are...
Kick off your moon boots and zip up your star suits,
We're heading into the great unknown...
We're screwing up this world, so let's go get a new one,
For us to destroy all over again...
We're going to space, man,
To play among the stars,
Show the universe
Just who we are...
Fins pointing up the sky,
World disappearing below,
Punching through the atmosphere with wings on fire,
Soon we'll be surfing gravitational waves...
Velocity is increasing,
The ground is melting away,
Atoms smashing atoms as we disappear,
Soon we'll be surfing gravitational waves..

Worlds Away
03:55
|

Penny for your thoughts, my dear...
Nothing left to say
The same table, the same view from here
Though you are worlds away,
Worlds away...
Candle's burning dimmer now,
I came to save the day,
You know I'm trying harder now,
But you're still worlds away,
Worlds away...
Everything is changing, love,
No reason I should stay,
But time will move us on from here
And I'll be worlds away,
Worlds away...

Angel
03:48
|

I've not seen you in quite a while,
It's really sweet to see you smile,
I'm thinking you're an angel,
A beautiful angel...
We caught ourselves a shooting star,
I discovered what you really are,
I wrapped my coat around an angel,
A beautiful angel...
Angel,
Heaven must have sent you down to me,
Angel,
Heaven opened up to set you free,
Angel,
Heaven must have wept to see you cry,
Angel,
Spread your broken wings and learn to fly
I'm caught up in your tenderness,
Forgot about my emptiness,
Still thinking you're an angel,
A beautiful angel...
Well, maybe you are not my destiny,
I wish it didn't mean that much to me,
I'm captivated by an angel,
A beautiful angel...

Rogue Male

We chase the night,
We see another morning,
Then hiding from the sun,
Take to the hills,
Left standing still, oh baby,
Can you forgive the things I've done?
No peace for the wicked...
No solace for the soul...
Sleep under stars,
Hiding the scars that give away,
Keeping one hand on the gun...
Stay underground,
Start at the sound of silence,
Can you believe what I've become?
No peace for the wicked...
No solace for the soul...
Caught in the flood,
The taste of blood keeps rising,
Just how long can this man run?
A crack, a thud,
Prone in the mud,
Still keeping one hand on the gun...
No peace for the wicked...
(Happy ever after, happy ever after...)
No solace for the soul...
(Happy ever after, happy ever after...)

Into the Great Unknown
04:02
|
|||
Hang it in the hallway,
Leave it at the door,
You're not going to need it anymore...
Fold it up and place it in the box under the bed,
Hide it in the hole under the floor...
But know...
We all walk alone,
Into the great unknown...
Let it flow out on the sea,
Let it find all of the places you won't go,
Let it blow out on the wind,
Between the branches,
and the leaves that you watched grow...
But know...
We all walk alone,
Into the great unknown...
All the things you never said,
All the things you should have done,
Conversations in your head,
It'll all be gone...
It'll all be gone...
Leave it in a picture,
Leave it in a view,
Leave it in a note from me to you,
Everything you worked for,
Everything you loved,
There's nothing anyone can do...
All the things you never said,
All the things you should have done,
Conversations in your head,
It'll all be gone...
It'll all be gone...

How to Disappear
04:27
|
|||
Just another cloud in the sky
Just a little something in my eye
Just another soaking by the rain
Just another day on earth again
And days pass slowly
Nothing is wrong,
No, everything's alright
It's just a little pain,
it won't kill me
No-one is gone,
No, she was never here
And if you don't look, you won't see me
And I'll show you how to disappear completely...
Day after day (mmm, you won't see me...)
Nothing to say (don't let her see me...)
Nothing to do (there's no more love left here...)
It's nothing to you (please let me disappear...)
And time goes so slowly
Nothing is wrong,
(Everything's wrong)
No, everything's alright,
(Nothing is right),
It's just a little pain, it won't kill me,
(It's gonna kill me)
No-one is gone,
(She was here)
No, she was never here,
(Now she's gone, gone, gone)
And if you don't look, you won't see me
And I'll show you how to dissapear completely...

Electric
03:27
|

Synapses firing, exposed and unearthed,
Our love is electric,
Our love is electric,
Magnetic attraction sends signals down the wire,
Our love is electric,
Our love is electric
There is no resistance, naked and live,
Our love is electric,
Our love is electric,
Our love is electric,
Our love is electric...

Cause for Concern
04:07
|
|||
How come, every time that I leave the room,
Ooh, my ears burn...
How come, every time that I leave your side,
You give me cause for concern...
You're always in my thoughts,
Can't get you out of my head,
You make my knees go weak,
And my legs feel like lead,
To fall in love with you
Would seem to make perfect sense,
And you know that I'd ask you to,
If I didn't lack confidence...
How come, every time that I leave the room,
Ooh, my ears burn,
And how come, every time I leave your side,
You give me cause for concern...

What We Knew
03:47
|
|||
Each day, talking away,
Hand in hand I walked you home from school...
There's me, maybe eighteen,
Love's young dream or maybe love's young fools...
We only knew what we knew,
Life was exiting and new...
Time and tide won't wait for this man,
So I held your held and took you for my own,
Best of our years, caught in one gear,
Time washed away like words drawn in the sand,
We only knew what we knew,
How could we know what to do?
Please tell me something to make me feel better,
Please tell me something to help me understand,
There must be something to make me feel better,
There must be something to help me understand...
(Do you believe in a life after death?
Something to cling to as you take your last breath?
Do you believe in a life after death?
Holding to something when you think of the end?)
We danced in Paris, we kissed in Rome,
Now you're in heaven, and I'm alone,
Where did the years go? They passed me by...
All of it over in the twinkle of an eye...
And now I feel it, a colder breeze,
The winter's coming to clear the autumn leaves,
The life we built and the life we made,
All too soon will slowly start to fade...
We only knew what we knew,
How could we know what was true?

Evolution Revolution
04:02
|
|||
Man, since he came down from the trees,
He worked upon the land, created tools by hand,
And traded on the seas,
Worked his fingers to the bone,
To build himself a home,
To make a family,
And the need to keep himself alive,
And do more than just survive,
To live and love and laugh,
Drives him on to bigger, better things,
Ideas sprouting wings,
To build communities,
And to work in factories...
Man, forged in fire, made of steel,
With his master at the wheel,
Driving engines powered by coal.
A man might lose his life,
But he'll never lose his soul,
And he'll always have his pride,
If he keeps his family safe and warm,
The more to life he gives, the more it takes away,
But he's grateful for the work, and he's thankful for the pay,
The gods of industry and pain,
Those profiteering lives of gain,
Surveying all that they have made,
And saying it is good...
Men of coal, men of steel,
Working ideas into something real,
Subduing the earth, creation of power,
The wealthiest nation in its finest hour,
Men of sweat, men of blood,
Digging the dirt, making good,
Turning the wheels of a revolution,
Our great and glorious revolution,
Holes dug deep into the core,
Are ghosts of what was there before,
When men knew what their lives were for,
But now I'm staring at the screen,
Googling what a life had been,
And asking what does it all mean?

Sunny Sunday Driving
04:05
|
|||
I'm thinking about a girl I knew,
And I'm thinking about our home,
I'm thinking about her old shoes,
And the clothes we used to own,
It's funny how you lose the thing you love the most,
But never notice till they're gone,
But I don't want the past back,
Just to change what I've done wrong...
Now we're driving on a sunny Sunday morning,
And the sun is in our eyes,
And I'm sure if we forget those seven years between us,
Then at last I could change up a gear and leave this all behind,
It's funny how you lose the things you love the most,
But never notice till it's gone,
But I don't want the past back,
Just to change what I've done wrong...
And sometimes I just stop and stand and listen
To the water lapping at my feet,
And count the stars above until I sleep...
I'm thinking about a girl I knew,
And I'm thinking about our home,
I'm thinking about our sunny Sunday Driving,
And the night I ended walking by the ocean on my own,
It's funny how you lose the things you love the most,
But I know something comes along,
But I don't want the past back,
Just to change what I've done wrong...
And I know that I've done wrong...
I'm just aching to be home...

Nothing Matters
06:06
|
|||
Maybe there's no future, but we all have a past,
Energy to last forever and ever,
But nothing ever lasts...
Nothing really matters,
I can see it in your face,
Nothing really matters,
We're just a waste of time and space...
Scientists were pushing buttons
While you were pushing mine,
And while you read out the data, much later,
I was trying to read your mind...
Nothing really matters,
I can see it in your face,
But when it comes to the matter of matter,
We're just a waste of time and space...
Nothing really matters...
When they turned on the collider,
Everybody held their breath,
But the black holes we created,
Sent our love into a slow and crushing death...
Nothing really matters,
I can see it in your face,
Nothing really matters,
We're just a waste of time and space...
Nothing really matters,
I can feel it in my heart,
And as our neutrons start to scatter,
Begin to tear our stars apart...

We Are Not Alone
04:27
|
|||
When time runs backwards,
Will I forget your face?
And will my life become a waste of time and space?
And will I miss you, although we've never met?
Or will we feel the pull of love that hasn't happened yet?
Oh no, we're not alone...
Your spooky action still pulling at my heart,
The only way to span the distance we're apart,
And as I drift on, into the great Unknown,
A billion stars come out,
Remind me I am not alone...
