Wall Power 03:49
We started building up a wall We thought that it could never fall They came and they destroyed it all There was no writing on the wall, wall, wall He cut the stone from Lime and hauled She carried food to feed us all We stacked and lifted through the fall Now all the ruble wears us all It’s time to rise Grab your spears and knives Our enemy’s demise is Nigh… Common man stand high We scoured the lands both far and wide We knew that God was on our side They from our blades did run and hide Then came the end of our supplies As the sun does rise So we’ll hunt them all our lives With our children and wives We’ll fight… For the wall and for what is right! Ahh…. Oooh… Ahh (3x/3x/3x) We are the destroyers of our wall…

Make/Believe 03:33
Make, Believe Say what you say, what you wanted to say Don’t let me get in your way with that heart on your sleeve So slick with words skipping, mouth slipping, shape shifting All that image you breath, tell me what do you believe You said the same thing about an hour ago It’s just part of the show, you’re just playing Make Believe You said the same thing just like an hour ago It’s time to change your show, to something that we can believe Say what you say as you’re fading away As your grass turns to hay and you’re down on your knees Broken hearts pumping, feet jumping, donors dumping Coz you got in your own way and head nothing left to say So stay stay away now is all you can say can’t turn your dirt into clay, cos you had it your own way And your family starts a-wondering, questions tumbling, cauldron’s bubbling Hold your feet to the fire, you just mumble that you’re tired You had another drink a whiskey sour and so See how you let yourself go, and forgot what you believe And I said the same thing a hundred hours ago You could have changed it all you know Instead you stayed in Make Believe But the phone it starts ringing and you can’t let it go You start to answer it slow, all this pain you will receive Have another drink a vodka tonic to go See how you let yourself go - Just tell me what do you believe You even see through yourself As you’re amassing your wealth They have a right to know--o-o-o Thought you’d do it in stealth While you still have you health Past that shadow of doubt If you were true to yourself you’d have a right to your wealth Shut down your own show-o-o-o- I guarantee you’ll receive More than you can perceive In your land of Make-Believe!!! I said the same thing at the start of the show You could have saved yourself you know but you stayed in Make Believe So have another drink a whiskey sour and so Watch how you let yourself go, and forget what you believe And the phone it keeps ringing and you can’t let it go So you answer it slow “I never wanted to deceive” You said the same thing a hundred hours ago Your broken record is slow and now you’re stuck in Make Believe

Go Again 04:19
Took a long time to find where you are Took even longer to know who you are You had to get it right, get it right Every now and then you adjust too far Everyone pushes you just too far You can’t make it right, make it right Now you’re trying real hard not to say where u are Biting your tongue not to say who you are You can’t even write, even write Try humming this song Or just tap along You begin to belong…….. That’s when you start running Take time to think about how you just Wonder Why, that you Don’t need no reason, aint’ got the time Well, it takes time to think about Why you, well, don’t know why Two change of seasons one change of time Here we go again Take time to think about Well, just who am I? You know, don’t need a reason just need some time You see me round town and know where you are I see you downtown I know who you are We couldn’t make it right, get it right You slowly start backing out of your shell I see you start talking you’re doing well I know you feel alright, Feel alright Now you’re humming along.. … the first time you trust, don’t get left in the dust just shake off the rust you know that you must You know the words to the song ...without word faking, we ain’t bond breaking, it’s there for the taking, your star in the making, the leaves for the raking, the relief for your aching You can begin to belong…….. That’s. When. You start running Take time to think about how you just Wonder Why, that you Don’t need no reason, aint’ got the time There you go again It takes time to think about How you, well, don’t know why, that you Ain’t got no reason, ain’t got no rhyme Here we go again!!! You know the way to go I know Just where the lights are low, I’ll show You won’t be scared to go I know!!!! It takes time to think about Why you, well, don’t know why, that you Ain’t got no reason, ain’t got no rhyme There you go again Take time to think about how you just Wonder Why, that you Don’t need no reason, aint’ got the time Take time to think about Well, just now, who am I? Well you, don’t need a reason, just need some time Here we go again!!!! Come on, come on Ain’t got no reason, ain’t got no rhyme And you’re gone again…

Disguise 05:02
Uncomfortably forgotten in the absence of your mind You turned around surprised, I could see it in your eyes Oh… I could read between the lines Only a worm knows what’s rotten From the apples’ insides You turned around surprised, I could read it in your eyes Oh… I could hear it in your sighs I could read between the lines I could see it in your eyes And your point of view it doesn’t matter There’s no disguise with the lights on Yeah you know it’s true, your future matters Where’s your disguise when the light’s on Yeah I know it’s true you’re somehow flattered No more disguise with the lights on now No disguise with the lights on Another disguise now the lights off Again again you turn to a friend and you try to pretend You go out to start a fight- Oh...I can see- It - In your eyes It could be anybody any day, anytime and anyways You line em’ up to knock em’ down I’ll show you in the replay You try to stop but you can’t, try to do what you can’t Picking over bones of all those weaker little specimens You’re anybody any day, any hour many ways Waste away your weeks to only piss away your weekends You could try to be a true man, try to be a new man just Peel. Back. Your. Disguise… OH… I still see it in your eyes OH……… I can’t live with your Disguise

That simple twist of chance will show the answers Only time will tell if it’s terminal cancer You try to take walk but I know you’re a dancer You either run like hell or you just take a stand You need a luck trick yeah some sympathy Something eclectic in your symphony You need a luck trick yeah some harmony An unexpected cure for your malady Or maybe a quick fix, yeah some synergy Something electric in your symphony You need a luck trick yeah some empathy Someone who gets you, standing next to… That simple twist of chance might find you stranded By the side of the road and you ain’t got no brandy You left your compass at home yeah it might’ve come in handy Your navigational system is just corporate branding! So it’s time to take that walk, well I know you can’t stand it Then someone comes along, they weren’t part of your plan Offering a luck trick yeah some sympathy Something eclectic in your symphony You need a luck trick yeah some harmony An unexpected cure for your malad You need a luck trick yeah some sympathy Something eclectic in your symphony You need a luck trick yeah some harmony An unexpected cure for your malady You need a quick fix yeah some synergy Something electric in your symphony You need a luck trick yeah some empathy Someone who comes through standing next to you! Oh……….

Sunken Angel 03:10
So you liked to say everything everything at the same time And you had to meet everyone No you couldn’t hear a name twice Then you couldn’t take a day off A day became a life time And every photo lens a selfish eye No surprise you tried to go and HIDE----- at the right time at the right time you try and HIDE ---- at the right time at the right time Breathing Underwater I’ll find my sunken angel won’t let her go She flew too close… to the fire Wings of wax melted ashes can they regrow? If you hadn’t said everything everything at the same time I could have found you anywhere Anywhere in your space and time You were trapped within your afterglow Rubbing elbows with your so and so’s So I didn’t see you fall apart I just filled my lungs and DIVED--- am in time am in time I had to DIVE --- at the right time at the right time Breathing Underwater I’ll save my sunken angel from the undertow Flying too close to the fire She burned her outspread wings and they won’t regrow Fighting the waves I search ever onward Oxidized, heavy gasses won’t let me go Now I’m surrounded by her fire I’ll drown for my sunken angel now that I know

We got the notes from the Underground But are pockets are inside out We wander around and around We know these streets yeah inside out I can see us growing old With a garden growing tall Then your smile starts to decay And there’s something you try to say I’m calling you out You’re pulling me down Let’s move to the the town I’m drawn to the sound You’re something beautiful and free I close my eyes and count two three Put my feet on the ground get my head out the clouds You got me running upside down You speak a language I can see A premature philosophy With your feet in the clouds And your head in the ground I caught you running upside down So we crawled from the underground to a hole in the old east side the city spins us around and around Which way is us up I just can’t decide I can’t see us growing old Without a garden growing tall I slowly start to Say I’m moving If we’re not moving on I’m calling you out It’s time to move on I can’t deal with this sound It’s drowning us out! You’re something beautiful and free I close my eyes and count two three Put my feet on the ground get my head out the clouds You got me running upside down You speak a language I can see Hieroglyphic Apostrophes With your feet in the clouds And your head in the ground I caught you running upside down AHHHHHHH!!!!!! You’re something beautiful it’s true I close my eyes and count to two Put my feet on the ground get my head out the clouds You got me running upside down You speak the language of the sun I close my eyes and count to one With your feet in the clouds And your head in the ground You keep me running upside down!

Blue Sea 05:54
I say, Lately I’m the only one here Who could love You At 8 dear, I’m the only one here Who could love you Coz you see blue sea And now I see you Bluesy Lucy, you let your colors bleed through You see Blue Sea where I see you Blue Sea Lucy, you let them colors bleed through (2x) I said lately I’ve been running around here Just to love you After 8 dear I’ll be waiting up here To try and love you If you want to play your games You better get your love insured If you’re going to say my name You know you better make for sure You see Blue Sea where I see you Blue Sea Lucy, you let them colors bleed through You wear them on your sleeves you see How the glove fits you This water coloured dream of you Might just come true It’s late dear and I’m the only one here Who can love you Say it again dear, I’m not sure what I hear Is it we or just you I know you’ve seen blue seas And I’d see them too Blue sea Lucy, your true color speaks for you Since you’re fixed on playing games let me roll a die or two Since you’ve gone and said my name I’m gonna see this battle through Cos you know that - if you see Blue Sea then I’ll seek you That Blue Sea, Lucy, is where our colors bleed through So let’s sail those Blue Seas before our time is through Blue, see, Lucy’s the only color I’m blinded to

All/Most 05:38
You said almonds they grow on the trees. They fall the the ground in a breeze We can tear them apart, rip them apart at the seams All that you tried to say to me To keep me afloat on your sea You said you dreamed me again but in green Maybe you’re an actor just making a scene I’m not sure at all, mostly I need to come clean You know I don’t know what you mean You’re speaking in tongues so it seems Maybe in time wait and see You know I don’t know - why I know I don’t know - if I go I won’t know what you mean Arise you said to me As I crash to the floor at your knees You’re still trying to speak to me You know I don’t know - what I know I don’t know - I can’t go till I know what we mean We’re Almost There (3x) We were almost there Are we falling apart - Are we coming apart Are we playing our parts - Are we pulling apart I saw the almonds there falling from trees They fall on their sides on their seams We tear them apart, they ripped us apart So it seems

Animal 04:34
We’re gathered all around you, to help you see it through So lift your head up from the pavement, And turn to see the truth Just try to breath it in now, let it wash all over you How they tried to rearrange you, force themselves right on to you Hold on, forget what they’ve done to you Let go slip your head from the noose Hell no, no one can judge for you All they know is what they hear on the news You’re like an animal Their domesticated animal So put your paws upon the pavement, see your leash on life renewed They only think that they can own you, just make them think their slipper’s chewed But what they don’t know Is that they won’t know That you will grow And they’ll grow slow So you can let go As they scream No!!!! So hold on, forget what they’ve done to you Let go slip your head from the noose Hell no, no one can judge for you All they know is what they hear on the news Head long, into the tunnel in front of you Don’t you look back, at what’s falling you Hell no, no one can tie you to A wall post is where their read their news... You’re not their animal… Animated animal, Undomesticated animal, Sugar cereal animal, uncaged animal, circus-slave animal, costume animal, Disney Animal
