Read some things in the stars about ya
How’s the family been
What you’re thinking of
I’ve been thinking of a universe away
Darling, I’ve been a lonely urchin
You’ve been all but stuck in his way
Talk it out
Talk it over something sweet and fermented
in taste
Make your eyes look some way else
I’m just a lowly destroyer
I could write you every night
Every night until your star fades
And in the back where stiff winds halted
All my science, I’ll deny it all
Don’t lose that smile
Don’t touch that dial
I think the masters are calling
4 connections
Works on this planet
Same as the last one
Same as the last one
Make your eyes look some way else
I’m just a lowly destroyer
I could write you every night
Every night until your star fades
Don’t make this complicated
Let’s both destroy ourselves
He cooperated
And didn’t ask how you felt
An amazing grace fell on his eyes
As the glass revealed the horizon line
Don’t make this complicated
Let’s just destroy ourselves
He cooperated
And didn’t ask how you felt

Of all the things in my head
it's the first thing that you said
A muscle like you'd never seen before
A secondary gland
I was putty in your hand
Photosynthesize my beating heart
I was much too young to try it
but they made it seem so violent
Left my soul and body at the plate
It was all on autopilot
to forget about the science
Lets knock down the doors of heaven's gate
God, what does it mean?
Falling in love with a machine
It feels like open books and open doors
I swear it's not obscene
but it's not like on the big screen
buckle up my hands and do the chores
I wish I knew the name
this doesn't feel the same
something that I didn't want to know
I was much too young to try it
but they made it seem so violent
Left my soul and body at the plate
It was all on autopilot
to forget about the science
Lets knock down the doors of heaven's gate
Now I'm feeding from a tube again
Someone tells me how I really am
All disgrace for the savior man
It's a long long long way down
I was much too young to try it
but they made it seem so violent
Left my soul and body at the plate
It was all on autopilot
to forget about the science
Lets knock down the doors of heaven's gate

Housekeeping

I make my science in this place all alone
it makes it hard when I lose all control
the cleaning girl comes twice a week
Nothing on my mind but laundering
nothing on my mind but coming clean
nothing on my mind but laundering
It makes it hard to forget the forms
that we would make underneath the storms
Hold my throat and call me nice
Hold my hands their cold as ice
Why would you wear
what I see everywhere
I shouldn't stare
unless you care
I miss when skin felt just like a snake
and this was love baby just like you made
and undercover like a thief in the night
wrapped your arms around me two or three times
and undercover like a thief in the night
wrapped your arms around me two or three times
I'd break the laws of time and space
just to see your blushing face
Break the laws of time and space
just to see your blushing face
Why would you wear
what I see everywhere
I shouldn't stare
unless you care

Lately I've been watching so much TV
I've thought once of you in a week
Miss Day's got nothing on you
I need something much more confusing
I'm losing my touch
I'd like to let you walk on by
holding something you had coming
Baby, I think something won't let me sleep
It's not what you think
Honestly
But it's crazy I was waiting all night like this
Girls don't know how to kiss anymore
But how can I be where you are
How can I be where you are now?
How can I be where you are
How can I be where you are now?
Miss Day's got nothing on you
I need something much more confusing
I'm losing my touch
I'd like to let you walk on by
holding something you had coming

Bodies Electric

We're not paranoid
we've been stabbed in the back
Don't look so annoyed
I'm all that I have
Once the lights go down
you'll be mine
I mean once the lights go out
we'll be mine
It's a decent point of view
Where's the rails to hold on to
Believe in the American dream
I just stepped in
I'm guessing
you weren't expecting
Oh my Nicholai
get a room ready
I don't trust the locks here
and no one heard your hush, dear
Oh my Nicholai
get a room ready
I don't trust the locks here
and no one heard your hush, dear
There's certain ones
certain things that we have to decide
but anyways
I've got it made in a bunker where I hide
To the certain ones
the certain things that I had to decide
In every way
I want to say I think I did what's right
But I just stepped
I'm just guessing
you weren't expecting
I just stepped
I'm just guessing
you weren't expecting
Oh my Nicholai
get a room ready
I don't trust the locks here
and no one heard your hush, dear
Oh my Nicholai
get a room ready
I don't trust the locks here
and no one heard your hush, dear

War Kind of Danger

Elizabeth warned me that you'd come around
Half a century back on the ground
I met some harlots, I met some fools
I'll meet my end
I've got nothing to lose
Lasers in your eyes
you could hurt someone
make me want to die
you're the only one
America called me on my machine
I like to talk about getting clean
Face the facts of life and war
and what we're fighting for
Lasers in your eyes
you could hurt someone
make me want to die
you're the only one
I showed you my light
show me something more
Yes this isn't right
what we're fighting for
I showed you my light
show me something more
Yes this isn't right
what we're fighting for

Starstruck

When will you stop playing dumb
I know you've been here before
Tell me when you've had enough
When do we stop keeping score
My back is breaking
holding up the ceiling all night
I could watch you for hours
like meteor showers
Yeah, you had a one track
we took it for a drive
We were starstruck, drunk and loved
but that could never be enough
Let your promises promise us promises
while I watch the whole system burn up
And when I finally come back to with all of my senses
I don't feel like I was done paying for all the expenses
I don't fly around with just anyone
at any time at all
I had a girl back at home
and a motor car
A drinking game and some playing cards
I could watch you for hours
like meteor showers
Yeah, you had a one track
we took it for a drive
We were starstruck, drunk and loved
but that could never be enough
Let your promises promise us promises
while I watch the whole system burn up

Roll in the Mud

In general
stop when it's over
It's over
it's over
Tell them to drop when I'm sober
I'll be sober
very sober
The drinking of men
these monsters of when
these monsters of when
Oh it's fabulous
Women like us when we roll in the mud
Fabulous
Women like us when we roll in the mud
When the star comes out tomorrow
they'll be singing of their sorrow
Mother shed your eyes
Your babies grow to an abhorrent size
Your babies grow to an abhorrent size
before you realize
Oh it's fabulous
Women like us when we roll in the mud
Fabulous
Women like us when we roll in the mud

I don't like the way
I get on
It's unnatural
What I've become
A sitting duck
It's not enough for what I was
It's not enough for what I was
Let's go make a movie
It's been years since I could get him moving
and then it starts
Let's go make a movie
Then I can get him moving
and then it starts
How many yards
could get you far enough to break a connection
How many yards
could get you far enough to make a correction
Still don't like the way I got off
but it was natural
What I've become
A spinning dunce
It's not enough
for what I was
Let's go make a movie
It's been years since I could get him moving
and then it starts
Let's go make a movie
Then I can get him moving
and then it starts
Let's go make a movie
It's been years since I could get him moving
and then it starts
Let's go make a movie
Then I can get him moving
and then it starts
