Answer with a line of lyrics

[Amber]

Money is a nerve of war, love and theatre
and I'm convinced, fuck, it isn't funny
and you're asharned, when you talk about money
but it's your mask, I will pull out the true you
I'm gonna humble you, I wanna strip you,
I wanna force you to...


Psychical strip-tease (x8)

[Tonatiuh]

I've been stripped of everything
Except some flesh that bleeds
And I've been robbed of everything
Except a soul, except a soul
That needs

[Aylen]

So many things that you let go
Was just a price for what you need to know
But baby don't hold on to what can't be saved
Just remember what you get is what you gave
Now I watched you slowly take your life away
Like an offering to the gods you pray
But keep your own mind, things will always change
Just take some time to dry off from the rain

You can sacrifice me, you can sacrifice me

Today I tell you leave the past behind
Search for yourself cause you're the hardest thing to find
Through the long, long lonely nights, I will comfort you
It might lean too tight, but you always make it through

[Not A Communist Shill]

You didn't know where to go
Walking around in this flag-waving town
I saw you waiting for a train
And you disappeared
Your face pressed up to the window

You went so far away
And I want to come there too
I want to be with you
I'm just waiting until you say these words:
"Come back, come back, come back, oh, to me

I'm living near Gdańsk
There's a train, you'd be here soon
There's a life for me and you
The East means so many things
But it could be home, it could be home, it could be home, it could be home
For you and me
It could be home, it could be home, it could be home, it could be home
Come back, come back, come back, oh, to me."

And if you'd ever say those words
I'd come to you, where you are
It's too hard to be apart
The East's not so far away
But it could be home, it could be home, it could be home, it could be home
For you and me
It could be home, it could be home, it could be home, it could be home
Come back, come back, come back
Oh, to me

[Tonatiuh]

And all stones you've thrown,
come from your highest throne.
Pass them on to me below,
they remind me nothing lasts

[Not A Communist Shill]

The king's taken back the throne, the useless seed is sown
When they say they're cutting off the phone, I tell 'em you're not home
No place to hide, you were fighting as a soldier on their side
You're still a soldier in your mind though nothing's on the line
You say it's money that we need as if we're only mouths to feed
I know no matter what you say, there are some debts you'll never pay

Working for the church while your family dies
You take what they give you and you keep it inside
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone"

I can taste the fear, lift me up and take me out of here
Don't wanna fight, don't wanna die, just wanna hear you cry
Who's going to throw the very first stone? Oh, who's going to reset the bone?
Walking with your head in a sling, want to hear the soldier sing

Working for the church while my family dies
Your little baby sister's gonna lose her mind
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone"

I can taste your fear, it's gonna lift you up and take you out of here
And the bone shall never heal, I care not if you kneel
We can't find you now but they're gonna get their money back somehow
And when you finally disappear, we'll say you were never here

Been working for the church while your life falls apart
Been singing hallelujah with the fear in your heart
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone"
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone"

[Tonatiuh]

If you're around tonight
I'm formatting my hard drive
Into FA-AT 32
But maybe we could maybe play with the cables
We could coil them up to tie me with
And maybe
We could go out and buy that new set tonight

[Aylen]

I wasn't always a monster, I was a prince
Now, so broken, so
Addicted to bad ideas and to drugs
And to all the beauty in this world, I know

Though I have grown older and graver
The great heart of the world remains ever young
Wasn't always a monster, I was a prince
Now, so broken, so

I wasn't always a monster, I was a saint
Now, forgotten, so, addicted to bad ideas
And to the blood that runs from my palms
And my eyes and my throat

Though I have grown older and graver
The great heart of the world remains ever young
Wasn't always a monster, I was a prince
Now, so broken, so

Because I can, 'cuz no one to stop me
'Cause it makes up for things I lost
To feel your tug at my soul
The touch of your gaze over my face and live long

To fail and live long
Fail and live long
Fail and live long

*pinches Within*

[Amber]

(I am here to tell you a story.
A story that will torture your thoughts by day and poison your dreams by night.
And though I will do my best, there are no words
That can be written nor brush strokes laid on canvas
That can describe the stark and utter horror of the night that Annabel died.
The emptiness will haunt you.)

This is a nightmare, is my Annabel really gone?
My eyes are stung by daylight, I find it hard to breathe.
Her body teases me as the sun reveals the dawn.
The smell of blood still crawls, I kiss you softly goodbye.

A girl like you will always be such a tragic part of me.
(Oh ecstasy you torture me).

I watch the blood drip from the corners of your mouth.
Your icy flesh is lying, your pallid skin still glows.
I'm starting to believe what my eyes are seeing now.
You're still so beautiful and yet so morbidly still.

Empty eyes accuse a face so evil, I'm coming undone.
The mirror says it all, a crimson story of innocence lost.
Empty eyes accuse a face so evil, I'm coming undone.
What have I done to her?

So terribly memory returns of her struggle, of her screams, of her.
Lord forgive me!
My stomach heaves as I see the blood that covers me.
Blood that was once hers.
I'm a monster!

A girl like you will always be such a tragic part of me.
(Oh ecstasy you torture me).

(A mirror never lies.
They know.
Everybody knows.
Do you not see what they see?
A mirror never lies.
I see what they see. Everybody knows. Everybody knows.)

[Tonatiuh]

Roll the windows down
This cool night air is curious
Let the whole world look in
Who cares who sees anything

[Amber]

So it's,
Left right,
Left right,
Left right,
Back,
Don't forget your head where you left it,
Now it's too late,
Too late,
It's so easy to complain

Bleeding hearts will always run dry

So you feel your life is buried in shit?
Well I've got some bad news for you,
Why don't we share some lines?
Slaughtered like swine,
California dreams of suicide

[Not A Communist Shill]

California dreamin' on such a winter's day.

Stopped in to a church I passed along the way.
Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray.
You know the preacher liked the cold;
He knows I'm gonna stay.
California dreamin' on such a winter's day.

Stopped in to a church I passed along the way.
Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray.
You know the preacher liked the cold;
He knows I'm gonna stay.
California dreamin' on such a winter's day.

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray.
I've been for a walk on a winter's day.
If I didn't tell her I could leave today;

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray.
I've been for a walk on a winter's day.
If I didn't tell her I could leave today;

[Amber]

You must be looking for a ride
It’s solar raining when you get outside
See something sparkling oh come on
You got a reason, it really turns me on
And when you reason with yourself
You got to picture someone else

I’ll take that cookie for my jar
Look oh idea up on the bedroom floor
I'm feeling heavy, leather bound
Just like a siren, don’t make a sound
And when you reason with yourself
You gotta picture someone else

But take it how you want it
Don’t let it get away from you
No matter how you got it
It’s never gonna stay with you
And anyway you squeeze it,
You know it’s gonna be the same
Don’t matter how you leave it
You’re beaten at the game


[Chorus:]
Well she dreamed of the silver screen, but she's just a scream when she's on the run
You say way better you than me, but she's hard to see when the lights come on

[Not A Communist Shill]

Oh I was moved by your screen dream
Celluloid pictures of living
Your death could not kill our love for you
Take two people - romantic
Smoky nightclub situation
Your cigarette traces a ladder
Here's looking at you kid
Celebrate years
Here's looking at you kid
Wipe away tears
Long time, since we're together
Now I hope it's forever
Ideal love flies away now
White jacket, mmmn, black tie wings too
You gave her away to the hero
Words don't express my meaning
Notes could not spell out the score
But finding not keeping's the lesson
Here's looking at you kid
Hard to forget
Here's looking at you kid
At least not yet
Your memory stays
It lingers ever
Will fade away never

[Amber]

Did you stand there all alone?
Oh I cannot explain what's going down
I can see you standing next to me
In and out, somewhere else right now
You sigh, look away
I can see it clear as day
Close your eyes, so afraid
Hide behind that baby face

Do do do do do do

You can drive all night
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer

Funny how it seems like yesterday
As I recall you were looking out of place

Cigarette daydream
You were only seventeen

Do do do do do do

You can drive all night
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer

If we could find a reason, a reason to change
Looking for the answer
If you could find a reason, a reason to stay
Standing in the pouring rain

Do do do do do do...

You can drive all night
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain

[Not A Communist Shill]

And you're just another hero riding through the night
Riding through the city
Honey went to Norway, to Norway

And you're just another hero riding through the night
Riding through the city, trying to lose your fight
Oh, another hero, another hero

And you're just another hero trying to lose your fight
Riding through the city, riding through the...
Oh, your honey went to Norway
Hero, hero
And your only friend is music

And you're just another hero riding through the night
Riding through the city, trying to lose your fight
Oh hero, hero, hero

Oh, riding through the night
Riding through the city, trying to lose your fight
And your honey went to Norway, you gotta stay
Oh yeah

Your only friend is music until your dying day
Your only friend is music, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hero

And you're just another hero riding through the night
Riding through the city, trying to lose your fight, oh yeah
Honey went to Norway
Fuck the press
Fuck your progress, fuck the press
Fuck the company, fuck the company
Your only friend is money

Oh, and you're just another hero trying to lose your fight
Riding through the city, riding through the night
And your Honey went to Norway
And your only friend is music until your dying day
Your only friend's misusing, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh hero

You wanna live, you wanna die
You wanna love, you wanna fly
You wanna love, wanna fly
Hero
Oh, you're just another hero
And you're just another hero
You're just another hero
Just another hero, you're just another hero

[Amber]

Don't try and be a hero
A soldier without a gun
A knight without a sword
A model without face
Once human but now a machine

Continue to run
Run Away
Always failing
Making the same mistakes

[Tonatiuh]

first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, fuckers
He still stands

[Amber]

Rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb,
you know better but I know him.
Like I told you, what I said,
Steal your face right off your head.

Now he's gone, now he's gone, Lord he's gone, he's gone.
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's gone, gone, nothin's gonna bring him back...He's gone.

Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride, hot as a pistol but cool inside.
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile,
Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile!!!!

Same old rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb,
You know better but I know him.
Like I told you, what I said,
Steal your face right off your head.

Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back.

[Tonatiuh]

I've walked alone for far too many years
When days bleed into one big lonely fear
The heart wants what it wants, so why can't I
believe there's something more for me in this life

[Amber]

She was on her way to becoming a college graduate
Wouldn't even stop to talk to the average kid
The type of latina I'd sit and contemplate marriage with
Fuck the horse and carriage shit

Disciplined, intellectual beauty's what I desire
Flyer than Salma Hayek or Jennifer Lopez
Everyone told me kickin' it to her was hopeless
At first I just thought she didn't mess with broke kids
The thug niggas always talking about, how they smoke kids
But the rich-sniff-coke kids got no play
"I'm not even interested" is what her body language would say

She spoke intelligently and they bit it, always trying to copy
But when they tried to use her vocab, they sounded sloppy

I felt like a moth who got himself too close to the light
Except I didn't burn, I turned cold after that night

[Tonatiuh]

... I spread my golden wings
Set sail my weightless form
And soar into the cosmos
... Forevermore...

[Amber]

Meine Zeit ist jetzt,
mein Gold ist warm und glänzt,
und nichts kann mich halten,
nichts kann mich halten.

[Tonatiuh]

Vi famlar runt i grottor
utan lykta, utan ljus
här finns det bara mörker
kan någon visa vägen ut
I tider av förändring
och desperata försök
vi får aldrig veta innan
vad som finns vid nästa krök

[Amber]

Las tardecitas de buenos aires tienen ese que se yo, viste?
Salgo de casa por arenales, lo de siempre en la calle y en mi
Cuándo, de repente, detras de un árbol, se aparece el
Mezcla rara de penultimo linyera
Y de primer polizonte en el viaje a venus
Medio melón en la cabeza
Las rayas de la camisa pintadas en la piel
Dos medias suelas clavadas en los pies
Y una banderita de taxi libre levantada en cada mano
Parece que solo yo lo veo
Porque él pasa entre la gente y los maniquíes le guiñan
Los semáforos le dan tres luces celestes
Y las naranjas del frutero de la esquina
Le tiran azahares

Y así, medio bailando y medio volando
Se saca el melón, me saluda
Me regalo una banderita y me dice:
Ya sé que estoy piantao, piantao, piantao
No ves que va la luna rodando por callao
Que un corso de astronautas y niños, con un vals
Me baila alrededor, ¡bailá! ¡vení! ¡volá!

¡Loco! ¡loco! ¡loco!
Como un acróbata demente saltaré
Sobre el abismo de tu escote hasta sentir
Que enloquecí tu corazón de libertad
¡Ya vas a ver!
De vieytes nos aplauden: "¡viva! ¡viva!"
Los locos que inventaron el amor

[Tonatiuh]

This king of overstatement now
Would like to whisper
A sweet something in your ear all day
From now till then

[Amber]

The King is dead but the Queen is alive,
Off with his head I am done with his lies,
A fair win I have fought for my life,
A clean slate after all this time,
A revolution and now I am in charge

There's a party in your honour, but you won't be there whatever, so
Three cheers for the one that got away,
You were just blah blah blah,
I was oh my god,
And unlike your anatomy,
I'm glad I had it in me

Now The King,
The King,
The King,
The King is dead,
But The Queen is alive.

[Not A Communist Shill]

Farewell to this land's cheerless marches
Hemmed in like a boar between arches
Her very Lowness with her head in a sling
I'm truly sorry but it sounds like a wonderful thing

I say Charles don't you ever crave
To appear on the front of the Daily Mail
Dressed in your Mother's bridal veil?

And so I checked all the registered historical facts
And I was shocked into shame to discover
How I'm the 18th pale descendent
Of some old queen or other

Oh has the world changed, or have I changed?
Oh has the world changed, or have I changed?
Some nine year old tough who peddles drugs
I swear to God, I swear I never even knew what drugs were

So I broke into the Palace
With a sponge and a rusty spanner
She said: "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
I said: "that's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
And talk about precious things
But when you are tied to your mother's apron
No-one talks about castration

We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
And talk about precious things
Like love and law and poverty
These are the things that kill me

We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
And talk about precious things
But the rain that flattens my hair
These are the things that kill me

Passed the pub that saps your body
And the church who'll snatch your money
The Queen is dead, boys
And it's so lonely on a limb

Pass the pub that wrecks your body
And the church, all they want is your money
The Queen is dead, boys
And it's so lonely on a limb

Life is very long, when you're lonely

[Amber]

Wish I may

Wish I might

Have this I wish tonight

Are you satisfied?

Dig for gold

Dig for fame

You dig to make your name

Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste

All the things you've chased

And it all crashes down

And you point your finger, but there's no one around

Just want one thing, just to play the King

But the castle crumbled

Hard and cold

Bought and sold

Are you satisfied?

Wish I might, Wish I may

You wish your life away

Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste

All the things you've chased

Wish I may, wish I might

Have this wish, I wish tonight

I want that star, I want it now

I want it all and I don't care how

Oh, You're just nothing

Where's your crown, King Nothing?

Oh, you're just nothing

Absolutely nothing

Off to never never land

[Amber]

We set out to find something to hold
When seeking truth the answer is the road
When seeking wisdom the journey is your home
Fight through the wind, fight through the rain
Fight through the cold

We left ourselves behind on dancing wire
The loved ones we left back home will be our choir
Fight through the wind, fight through the rain
Dance in the fire

Pushing back the lake
We found something more
Like a song
In a word
Like the heartbreak of birds

And there, beneath the sand
Looking like the rain
We found some god
And the will to change

Give me the pen
Give me the sword
Let me cut away the darkness, and pin it to the wall
Let us sing a song of beauty as before
Give us the wind, give us the wind
Give us the storm

[Roro]

Reborn and shivering
Spat out on new terrain


Day one day one start o-over again
Step one step one
With not much making sense just yet
I'm faking it til I'm pseudo making it
From scratch begin again but this time I as I
And not as we

Eyes wet toward
Wide open frayed
If God's taking bets
I pray He wants to lose

[Amber]

I'm the anger yeah that you got in your bone
I'm the feeling boy you got when you're stoned

I'm the danger love that you love so well
I'm the monster boy you would like to be

Yes I'm riding now yes I'm riding now

We don't need them gods
We can become them
We don't need them gods
We can become them
Fire and the tower came down

Babylon, Babylon

I'm the TV yeah you got in your brain
I'm the back door boy you left open now
Leave your house leave your house
Won't you come and see

I'm a steel train yeah with no time to waste
I am the art piece boy you would like to make

We don't need them gods
We can become them
We don't need them gods
We can become them
Fire
(Fire, frie)
And the tower came down

Babylon, Babylon

Fire, fire
(Steel train, a road)
Fire

Fire
(Steel train, I'm a steel train)
Fire
(The road you see)

Babylon
(Hohohoho)
Babylon
Oh oh oh oh oh

And the tower came down

[Satan]

Graze the skin with my finger tips
The brush of dead cold flesh pacifies the means
Provoking images delicate features so smooth
A pleasant fragrance in the light of the moon

[Aylen]

On a night of dread and wonder
Hear her heartbeat turn to thunder
Nows the time for soul surrender
And death and death!

[Tonatiuh]

the images crawl up my spine
you left them there, tattooed in time
wrinkled up, thrown out for good
another note, I wish you would
tear apart like my skin
we were as free as we could be
nothing can take that from me

[Aylen]

We live in a cemetery
A cold and damp place
And science runs through us
Making us Gods

The rules are all wrong
Every perversion is justified
They honestly believe dead bodies
Anything goes around here

I still want to to be human
What am I?
What am I?
I'm a murderer

Aisha
I'm confused
Aisha
I'm vibrating

[Tonatiuh]

Icon of symmetry, swallowing sides
Fall down in front of me, follow my eyes
But I've got to see you moving, waste no time
Teach me, make me holy

[Amber]

How did we get here?
Back to the body
Words jump like salmon

One step takes me home
Two steps back on my own
Three skips to each stone
Four steps back and I’m gone

In that backwater
Running through the woods
In that red water
In the mirror

[Aylen]

Rambling Beauty, let me be your mate for a while
Be a shoulder for your head, carry a bag & roll a bed
Another day in this place, and I swear I'll end up dead

And how I'm sorry that my ancestors threw you in jail
But now I can see ramblings were poetry
Will you sell me the rights if I put up the bail?

And we'll sing ain't that the life, we've got it made
Our heads in the sand, our guitars in the shade
Rambling Beauty, sing sweet to me
Yeah, you're on my mind, just like on TV
Yeah, you're on my mind, come from the TV

[Amber]

I cannot turn my life unto you.
A storm of ebony hair.
A hail of wickedness.

Wild and shameless.
Given the price of beauty.

Divine like no other.
Words soft as snow.

Beds of shapeless dust.
Dreams of my filthy lust.

Our lives are borrowed.
Hold fast my soul.
