Angel
 
You are my angel
Come from way above
To bring me love

Her eyes
She's on the dark side
Neutralize
Every man in sight

Love you, love you, love you ...

You are my angel
Come from way above

Love you, love you, love you ...
 
 

Risingson
 
I seen you go down to a cold mirror
It was never clearer in my error so
You click a shine upon your forehead or
Check it by the signs in the corridor
You light my ways through the club maze
We would struggle through the dub daze

I sink myself in hair upon my lover
It's how you go down to the men's room sink
Sad we talk how madmen think
I sink myself in hair upon my lover
I don't know her from another miss
I don't know you from another
See me run now you're gone...dream on

Why you want to take me to this party and breathe
I'm dying to leave
Every time we grind you know we severed lines
Where have all those flowers gone
Long time passing
Why you keep it testing, keep on tasking
You keep on asking

Toy-like people make me boy-like (x2)
They're invisible, when the trip it flips
They get physical, way below my lips
And everything you got hoi-poloi like
Now you're lost and you're lethal
Now's a fine time, you gotta leave all
These good people...dream on

Nicer than the bird up in the tree top
Cheaper than the chip inside my lap top
All the variations you could do with me
Nicer than the girl up in your mind you're free

Automatic crystal remote control,
We come to move your soul

You kinda fade into the background
Like a better smoke will bring you back round
Like a man slide inside you my dear
Your cheap beer's filled with crocodile tears
See 'em run now you're gone...dream on

I found a reason
Toy-like people make me boy-like (x2)
Dream on
 
 

Teardrop
 
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Feather's on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Feather's on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Feather's on my breath

Nine night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Feather's on my breath (x2)

Teardrop on the fire
Feather's on my breath

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Feather's on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Feather's on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Feather's on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Feather's on my breath

You're stumbling in the dark (x2)
 
 

Inertia Creeps
 
Recollect me darling raise me to your lips
Two undernourished egos four rotating hips
Hold on to me tightly I'm a sliding scale
Can't endure then you can inhale
Clearly
Out of body experience interferes
And dreams of flying I fit nearly
Surrounds me though I get lonely
Slowly

Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
She's moving up slowly
Slowly
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
She comes

In my home no chrome as clear as
See me now with my nearest dearest
Been there when I'm over careering
Room shifting is endearing
Between us is our kitchen
Would you found my irritant's itching
Been here before
Been here forever

Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
Moving up slowly
She comes moving up slowly
Inertia creeps moving up slowly

She comes
There be no sound in my eider town
Awake I lie in a morning's blue
Room is still my antenna in you
Nylon burns the bedspread with two
Gravity's zero see me stall
I bounce off walls lose my footing and fall
It can be sweet though incomplete though
And the frames will freeze
See me on all four's
It's been a long time

She comes
She comes
I want to x you
She comes
I want to x you
She comes x you

I caught your radio waves (x2)
Will you take a string
Say you string me along (x2)
Say inertia creeps
Inertia creeps and she comes
Say she comes
 
 

Dissolved Girl
 
Shame, such a shame
I think I kind of lost myself again
Day, yesterday
Really should be leaving but I stay

Say, say my name
I need a little love to ease the pain (x2)
It's easy to remember when it came

'Cause it feels like I've been
I've been here before
You are not my savior
But I still don't go

Feels like something
That I've done before
I could fake it
But I still want more

Fade, made the fade
Passion's overrated anyway
Say, say my name
I need a little love to ease the pain (x2)
It's easy to remember when it came

'Cause it feels like I've been
I've been here before
You are not my savior
But I still don't go, oh

I feel live something
That I've done before
I could fake it
But I still want more, oh.
 
 

Man Next Door
 
There's a man that live next door
In my neighborhood (x2)
And he gets me down...

chorus:
He gets in so late at night
Always a fuss and fight (x2)
All through the night

I've got to get away from here
This is not a place for me to stay
I've got to take my family
We'll find a quiet place

Hear the pots and pans they fall
Bang against my wall (x2)
No rest at all

(chorus)

I've got to get away from here
This is not a place for me to stay
I've got to take my family
We'll find a quiet place
 
 

Black Milk
 
You're not my eater
I'm not your food
Love you for God
Love you for the Mother

Eat me
In the space
Within my heart
Love you for God
Love you for the Mother

Mother fountain
Who live oh not at all

The most (?)
(?)
Love you for God
Love you for the Mother

(?) to (?)
Only lie
 
 

Mezzanine
 

I'm a little curious of you in crowded scenes
And how serene your friends and fiends
We flew and strolled as two eliminated gently
Why don't you close your eyes and reinvent me

You knew you had a heart made of stone
You should have let me know
You could have let me know

We'll go 'till morning comes
And traffic grows
And windows hum

Spending all week with your friends
Give me evenings and weekends
Evenings and weekends

I could be yours
We can unwind
All these other flaws (x2)

You'd agree it's a typical high
You fly as you watch your name go by
And once the name goes by
Not thicker than water nor thicker than mud
And the eight k thuds it does
Sunset so quickly
Let's make it quiet and quickly
Don't frown
Taste better on the way back down

I could be yours
We can unwind
All these other flaws (x3)
Will lead to mine

We can unwind
All these other flaws (x2)
Will see to
All these other flaws
Will lead to mine
We can unwind all our flaws (x2)
 
 

Group Four
 

A flask I drink of sober tea
While relay cameras monitor me
And the buzz surrounds it does
Buzz surrounds
Buzz surrounds

Closed eyed sky wide open
Unlimited girl unlimited sigh
Elsewhere
Indefinitely
Far away
Magnifies and deepens
Ready to sing
My sixth sense peacefully place on my breath
And listening

Keys swing from my hand

My ears know that my eyes are closed

Perish thoughts like contraband
I train myself in martial arts
As advertised
I reinforce my softened parts
As advertised

See through me little glazed lane
A world in myself
Ready to sing
My sixth sense peacefully place on my breath

Flickering I roam

And listening
My ears know that my eyes are closed
Ready to sing
My sixth sense peacefully place on my breath

Flickering I roam

And listening
My ears know that my eyes are closed

I see to bolts
For key to locks
No boat are rocked
I'm free to roam
Among dummy screens
And magazines

Closed eyed sky wide open
Unlimited girl unlimited sigh

To think that I lay next to you
Wasting time what I could do
A simple job in strip lights
A flask I drink a sober tea
'Till daylight sends me home
Flickering I roam

Daydreaming admiring being
Quietly, open the world
I hear the time of the starry sky
Turning over at midnight
Seen through me little glazed lane
A world in myself
Daydreaming admiring being
Quietly, open the world
I hear the time of the starry sky
Turning over at midnight

Yeah yeah yeah ah
You see a man's face
But you don't see his heart
You see a man's face
But you will never know his thoughts

Everywhere you go
There's a man to say love
Never neither never neither
Take it to heart

For your heart is your heart
And your thoughts is your thoughts
Never mix love with hatred

You see a man's face
You will never see his heart
You see a man's face
But you will never know his thoughts
You see a man's face
You will never know his thoughts
You see a man's face
