They heard me singing and they told me to stop Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock These days my life, I feel it has no purpose But late at night the feelings swim to the surface 'Cause on the surface the city lights shine They're calling at me, come and find your kind Sometimes I wonder if the World's so small That we can never get away from the sprawl Living in the sprawl Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains And there's no end in sight I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights We rode our bikes to the nearest park Sat under the swings and kissed in the dark We shield our eyes from the police lights We run away, but we don't know why Black river, your city lights shine They're screaming at us, we don't need your kind Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small That we can never get away from the sprawl Living in the sprawl Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains And there's no end in sight I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights They heard me singing and they told me to stop Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small Can we ever get away from the sprawl? Living in the sprawl Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains And there's no end in sight I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights

(One night) You came on over to me (Late night) We shared a drink or three (Night night) I read a proverb to you (That night) She left a room with a view Take all the time Time that you want to Make up your mind Mind how you go Take me in time Time to the music Take me away to the twilight zone (Last night) We stayed up late in a dream (My oh my) We read a play with no theme (Lifetime) In which our love pursues (My time) In which I spend with you Now I know the lonely days are gone Don't you know that I can see Like a summer day that's always long We repel the wet of tears As the shadows lighten up the day Through the cons we laugh away Like a windy day that's always wrong We take shelter where we can (Last night) I came on over to you (My oh my) We played a song or two (Lifetime) I read a poem loud (My time) I wrote a song for thee Now I know the lonely days are gone Don't you know that I can see Like a summer day that's always long We repel the wet of tears As the shadows lighten up the day Through the cons we laughed away Like a windy day that's always wrong We take shelter where we can

The girls get so excited, The boys can't get enough, Mr. Business has invited you to show the world your stuff, It's the express train, one way, moving so fast, You better make it quick 'cause the attention don't last. You've got it,  I'm sure, But I've seen it all before, And I wonder, Secretly, How I see what the people don't see. The competition is such a sight to be seen, But you've got to be good looking to get on the silver screen, You're today's sensation, But tomorrow's looking bleak, Now you've got to get them out to make it through to next week.

Arabella's got some interstellar-gator skin boots And a helter skelter 'round her little finger and I ride it endlessly She's got a Barbarella silver swimsuit And when she needs to shelter from reality she takes a dip in my daydreams My days end best when this sunset gets itself Behind that little lady sitting on the passenger side It's much less picturesque without her catching the light The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes As Arabella As Arabella She spinal tapped into your mind and soul You can't be sure Arabella's got a 70's head But she's a modern lover It's an exploration, she's made of outer space And her lips are like the galaxy's edge And her kiss the colour of a constellation falling into place My days end best when this sunset gets itself Behind that little lady sitting on the passenger side It's much less picturesque without her catching the light The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes As Arabella As Arabella She spinal tapped into your mind and soul You can't be sure That's magic in a cheetah print coat Just a slip underneath it I hope Asking if I can have one of those Organic cigarettes that she smokes Wraps her lips round the Mexican coke Makes you wish that you were the bottle Takes a sip of your soul and it sounds like… She spinal tapped into your mind and soul You can't be sure

Time on your side that will never end The most beautiful thing you can ever spend But you work in a shirt with your name tag on it Drifting apart like a plate tectonic It don't matter to me 'Cos all I wanted to be Was a million miles from here Somewhere more familiar Too much time spent dragging the past up I didn't see you not looking when I messed up Settling down in your early twenties Sucked more blood than a backstreet dentist It don't matter to me 'Cos all I wanted to be Is a million miles from here Somewhere more familiar Oh my god I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home And oh my god I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home And oh my god I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home And oh my god I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home Great rulers make for greater glory The only thing growing is our history Knock me down I'll get right back up again I'll come back stronger than a powered up Pac-Man It don't matter to me 'Cos all I wanted to be Was a million miles from here Somewhere more familiar Oh my god, I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home And oh my god I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home And oh my god I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home And oh my god I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home Oh my, god I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home And oh my god I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home And oh my god I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home And oh my god I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home

Step out the door 2 AM yesterday Me and my friend keeping the night aflame And as we’re walking in the clear night blind Two guys come up and take him out of sight All I know is one thing they hit him hard he doubles up They takes his money and they run and all I can do is watch them go His hands are round his nose His blood is on his clothes What doesn’t kill ya What doesn’t hurt Sometimes you feel you’re up against the world What doesn’t kill ya What doesn’t break This life it seems To bring you to your knees You try you bleed then finally you breathe She was the dream that kept me up at night I couldn’t face the world without her eyes I never knew it till she disappeared My life would be a bunch of souvenirs All I know is what it is her heart she doubles up She packs her bag and then she runs and all I can do is watch her go I’ve lost all I own What doesn’t kill ya What doesn’t hurt Sometimes you feel you’re up against the world What doesn’t kill ya What doesn’t break This life it seems To bring you to your knees You try you bleed then finally you breathe What doesn’t kill ya What doesn’t hurt Sometimes you feel you’re up against the world What doesn’t kill ya What doesn’t break This life it seems To bring you to your knees You try you bleed then finally you breathe

Slip inside the eye of your mind Don't you know you might find A better place to play You said that you'd never been All the things that you've seen Will slowly fade away So I'll start the revolution from my bed Cos you said the brains I had went to my head Step outside 'coz summertime's in bloom Stand up beside the fireplace Take that look from off your face You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by Her soul slides away, "But don't look back in anger", I heard you say Take me to the place where you go Where nobody knows if it's night or day Please don't put your life in the hands Of a Rock n Roll band Who'll throw it all away Gonna start the revolution from my bed 'Coz you said the brains I had went to my head Step outside 'coz summertime's in bloom Stand up beside the fireplace, take that look from off your face 'Coz you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out So Sally can wait She knows it's too late as she's walking on by My soul slides away "But don't look back in anger", I heard you say So Sally can wait She knows it's too late as we're walking on by Her soul slides away "But don't look back in anger", I heard you say So Sally can wait She knows it's too late as she's walking on by My soul slides away "But don't look back in anger, don't look back in anger" I heard you say, "at least not today"

Libraries gave us power Then work came and made us free What price now for a shallow piece of dignity I wish I had a bottle Right here in my dirty face to wear the scars  To show from where I came We don't talk about love we only want to get drunk And we are not allowed to spend As we are told that this is the end A design for life A design for life A design for life A design for life I wish I had a bottle Right here in my pretty face to wear the scars To show from where I came We don't talk about love we only want to get drunk And we are not allowed to spend As we are told that this is the end A design for life A design for life A design for life A design for life We don't talk about love we only want to get drunk And we are not allowed to spend As we are told that this is the end A design for life A design for life A design for life A design for...

All I give are little clues Maybe one day I'll get through There is nothing I can do I just keep on lying to you I only need to say it's true Only heart already knew But there is nothing you can do I just keep on lying to you, Should my cover ever blow Would you ever let it go There is something you should know But hell if I'd ever let it show So here I am trying to be strong It was noon and my shadow's long I guess I'll go a day just as soon  As I get to the end of this song, To the end of this song, To the end of this song, To the end of this song, To the end of this song...

I see a dog star divin' at his magic, snatchin' Keeps me up awake go crystal cracking I can't wait I can't stay, a candle Gotta change my mind before it burns out I'm the Cocker on the rock Wind is whipping through my stupid mop I see a falling snowgirl walking Broadway Turns the corner at 14th and I know there's no way It's alright It's alight candle And I know she'll be okay by Sunday I'm the Cocker on the rock Humming bash starts shining In your electric clock It's safe to say, candle Tonight's the day, candle It's alright now, candle The wind's away, candle Never thought I'd see a dog star falling I'm the Cocker on the rock Wind is whipping through my stupid mop

Trapped in a prism, in a prism of light Alone in the darkness, darkness of white We fell in love, alone on a stage In the reflective age Entre la nuit, la nuit et l’aurore Entre le royaume, des vivants et des morts If this is heaven I don't know what it’s for If I can’t find you there I don't care I thought I found a way to enter It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor) I thought I found the connector It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor) Now, the signals we send, are deflected again We're still connected, but are we even friends? We fell in love when I was nineteen And now we're staring at a screen Entre la nuit, la nuit et l’aurore Entre les voyants, les vivants et les morts If this is heaven I need something more Just a place to be alone Because you're my home I thought I found a way to enter It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor) I thought I found the connector It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor) It’s just a reflection of a reflection Of a reflection of a reflection Will I see you on the other side? We all got things to hide It’s just a reflection of a reflection Of a reflection of a reflection Will I see you on the other side? We all got things to hide All right, let's go back Our song escapes on little silver discs Our love is plastic, we'll break it to bits I want to break free, but will they break me? Down, down, down Don't mess around I thought I found a way to enter It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor) I thought I found the connector It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor) Thought you were praying to the resurrector Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor) Thought you were praying to the resurrector Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor) Thought you were praying to the resurrector Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor) It’s a Reflektor It’s just a Reflektor Just a Reflektor Will I see you on the other side? It’s just a Reflektor Will I see you on the other side? We all got things to hide It’s just a Reflektor Will I see you on the other side?

Stephanie says that she wants to know Why she's given half her life, to people she hates now Stephanie says when answering the phone What country shall I say is calling from across the world But she's not afraid to die, the people all call her Alaska Between worlds so the people ask her 'cause it's all in her mind It's all in her mind Stephanie says that she wants to know Why it is though she's the door She can't be the room Stephanie says but doesn't hang up the phone What sea shell she is calling from across the world But she's not afraid to die, the people all call her Alaska Between worlds so the people ask her 'cause it's all in her mind It's all in her mind They're asking is it good or bad It's such an icy feeling it's so cold in Alaska, it's so cold in Alaska, it's so cold in Alaska
