My good time
I feel all right
My ritual followed us to paradise
My blood moves
I feel all right
Don't touch me
Cuz I've had too much to feel tonight

I'm a martyr of a new and magic kind
It's gettin' easy not to suffer all the time

My good time
I feel all right
My ritual followed us to paradise
My blood moves
I feel all right
Don't touch me
Cuz you're still too much to feel tonight

Not tonight, I repeat, me over
I'm a martyr of a new and magic kind
It's getting easy not to suffer all the time
My sense of humor might have narrowed with my age
But happy anarchy is all I really crave

Trying to be good, while I get my fill
Will I get what I need?
I don't know if I will
When I take it in , will I make it my own again
My own again

My blood moves, I feel all right
My ritual got me through another night

I'm a martyr of a new and magic kind
It's getting easy not to suffer all the time
My sense of humor might have narrowed with my age
But happy anarchy is all I really crave

It's all I need, It's all I want, It's all I crave,
So come over.(x4)

One part lullaby, two parts fear
Another animal mixing with the atmosphere
It takes forever to learn to pretend
Nature is the enemy, weather is not your friend

Who can be trusted?
With perfect weather inside
Look for magic in the daily routine
It's all it takes to survive

Leaving heaven below
Go wherever the angels follow

I'm watching my body and mind divide
Why live for a future that never arrives on time?

I can't be trusted, I'm dust in the wind
I let he weather decide where my day begins
I'm not a rebel of the natural one
I'm in love with the chemical
Following the setting sun

Lost my patience
All that it takes to survive
Watching my mind and my body divide
Why live for a future that never arrives on time?

Leaving heaven below
Go wherever the angels follow

One Part Lullaby, Two parts fear
Another animal, mixing with the atmosphere
One part lullaby, two parts fear

I'm watching my body and mind divide
Why live for a future that never arrives on time?

Catching butterflies, line drives, watching TV
I had seven good years ‘til I noticed they were looking at me
I didn't like what they'd see

Trapped in the back seat, stay on your side
My hand out the window feeling the wind rush by
While my parents fight

Where did you go? Did I make you leave?
Another thing I didn't know
Nobody ever believes. They just leave, they just leave
And they'll see you in their own sweet time
They just leave

I didn't leave my room ‘til I learned how to drive
I was sweet seventeen, fighting with the back of my mind
‘Til the wheel was all mine

Free to go, but still to young to leave
Old enough to think I know
That nobody ever believes
They just leave, they just leave, they just leave, they just leave

My plane landed, I'm alive
I'm not fighting with the things
I never thought I'd do to survive
Now we've finally arrived

Now I know, more than I've ever believed
You could never let me know
You were just as young as me
You had to leave, you had to leave, you had to leave, you had to leave

You had to leave, you were just as young as me, you had to leave
You had to leave, you were just as young as me, you had to leave

Here I am, never thought I'd be
Among the drifters and directors, a place for me
It's nothing like I thought it was after all

Feel the ground it's always moving
Down a mountain through a valley watch it all collide

Hear the other ocean churning
Helicopters up above
While another canyons burning
Rain could wash the hill away

Easy LA, it's another beautiful day
LA, alright, cold like the desert at night
Cold like the desert at night

Without the seasons will I know how to change
Are we helpless to the wind?
Give me something to blame
For broken promises, smile like the ruthless sun

Did the money cut the city in pieces
Take the water from wherever it flows
Feel the ground, it's always moving
Down a mountain through a valley
Watch it all collide

Hear the other ocean churning
Helicopters up above
While another canyons burning
Rain could wash the hill away

Easy LA, it's another beautiful day
LA, alright, cold like the desert at night
Cold like the desert at night

I do everything he never would
I'm mechanical man
When I say I understood,
I only knew where to stand

But I'll be there for you
When your world's on a wire
My mechanical moves
Fit the mood you desire

Hope I will recreate the thrill
Take your body by the hand
Shake your soul awake
Dropping science at your feet

I whisper low and sweet
If you wanna see me angry I can be
Lose a number miss a key and I will be

I can read your mind
But still believe your lies
I can dance but I'll never understand
Mechanical Man

Hope I will recreate the thrill
Take your body by the hand
Shake your soul awake
Shake your soul awake

But I'm not perfect after all
I still get jealous when he calls
Something's wrong, pride was never in the plan
Turn me in for a brand new mechanical man

Hope he will recreate the thrill
Shake your soul awake
Shake your soul awake

You can get me wet
Scream when you're upset
I'll never understand you
I'm programmed to forget
You can get me wet
Scream when you're upset
I'll never understand you
I'm programmed to forget

Shake your soul awake

Made it all up girl
Out of anger, out of passion

Turn yourself away
Make me lonely, love we only
Need a place to hide
Out of anger, out of love

Time crawls
There's like beyond the castle walls
Go, leave
I said I didn't mind
Did I believe it?
This time in my kingdom of lies
I'm alone

Turn the lights up girl
Turn your anger to conviction
All my shadows fade
They made me lonely
Lies that only
Turned your heart away
Out of anger, out of love

Time crawls
There's life outside these city walls
Go, leave
I said I didn't mind, did I believe it?
This time in my kingdom of lies,
I'm alone

Time crawls

. . .


I collide with the world again
Creep with the summer on my skin
Strapped to machinery, theory and catastrophe
Open up and let it in

Radar, we are, could be willing
Spot my eyes and cross the line
Tell me I'm more than I'm feeling
Say the mirror only lies

There's more than gravity pushing on me
I know the heart's a muscle, too
See a pulse up close and quiver
Still holding back the rapture
There's more than gravity pushing on me
Gravity decides

Radar, we are, could be willing
Spot my eyes and cross the line
Tell me I'm more than I'm feeling
Say the mirror only lies

There's more than gravity pushing on me
I know the heart's a muscle, too
See a pulse up close and quiver
Still holding back the rapture

There's more than gravity pushing on me
Gravity decides
Mirrors only lie
Gravity decides

. . .


I am falling
Drifting, trapped inside the story
Am chained to the moon
Will the sun take over in the morning

Filling my lungs with sky
What can I see from here
The beauty had nowhere to hide
And nothing to fear

I'm kicking against the tide
That pulls me away from here
The future is nowhere to hide
But something to fear

I am falling
Drifting, trapped inside the story
Am chained to the moon
Will the sun take over in the morning

The dream demands the magic is planned
Climb the sky and tell the story
Hand over hand, eyes on the moon
Till the sun takes over in the morning

I'm killing my sense of time
It told me I moved too slow
Taking what's left of my pride
And letting it go

I'm kicking against the tide
That pulls us away from here
The future is nowhere to hide
And something to fear

I am falling
Drifting, trapped inside the story
Am I chained to the moon
Will the sun take over in the morning?

The dream demands the magic is planned
Climb the sky and tell the story
Hand over hand, eyes on the moon
Till the sun takes over

Always remind me words are behind me
Welcome to the silence, fill it with the sky

. . .


Skin and bone
Tremble on the throne
Something unexpected couldn't hurt
Behind my eyes scenes I can't describe
Intimidated, fascinated, stealing glances

Flesh and wire
Knotted with desire
Chewing on my lip to hide the truth
Picture this, everything I miss
Circle back and forth until I'm green all over
Green all over

No fair, music in the air
Under your spell
Fell beneath the carousel
The sound had me spinning all around
Under your wonderful carousel
Merry go down

Skin and bone
Tremble on the throne
Something unexpected but deserved
Picture this, everything I miss
Heaven's daughter underwater conversations

Flesh and wire, knotted desire
Circle back and forth until I'm green all over
Green all over

No fair, music in the air
Under your spell
Fell beneath the carousel
The sound had me spinning all around
Under your wonderful carousel
Merry go down

Under your wonderful carousel
Merry go down

. . .


You gave me something I need to leave alone
You gave me all I could want to turn my heart to stone

Ooo..
I don't want to be someone you love

I save you all I could find to find myself with you
Couldn't see you never believed, you never listened to me,
You never told me the truth

Ooo..
I don't want to be someone you love
Ooo..
I'd be happy without you
Dropping doubts from the clouds up above

. . .


Never know what I'm looking for
Until I find it
Never know where I am
until I leave
Not aware the I care
until I'm angry
Don't know what I'm thinking
until I dream

No need to worry…
Think that I'm a loner, but I'm never alone
No need to worry…
Waiting for the summer, but I won't be home
No need to worry…
And I don't understand it

No need to worry…
Think that I'm a loner, but I'm never alone
No need to worry…
Waiting for the summer, but I won't be home
No need to worry…
One who needs another, but the other's unknown
And I don't understand it..

But there's no need to worry
Confusion had it's own embrace
Your mind loves to worry
Your heart plans its own escape
But there's no need to worry
Confusion has its own embrace
Your mind needs to worry
Your heart loves a race

Here's where the fear could release me
It never meant so much

. . .


Still crazed, sugar glazed
I refuse to act my age
I can be cool, I can believe
Happy to be here
When can I leave, when can I leave

All that I hope for, all that I need
The back of the closet the air that I breathe
My soul's on cruise control
Happily ever after, nobody knows I'm gone, I'm gone

Back to the sunrise, nothing to lose
Keep me at a distance I can use
Outside our future is yawning
Wide awake, but ready to sleep all day


Ready to be confused, with a distance I can use
Ready to be confused, with a distance I can use

Spit glazed, riding a wave
My body will never behave
Cross eyed, I more than survive
A little bit further from the back of the line

Each time, each time
Back to the sunrise, nothing to lose
Keep me at a distance I can use
Outside out future is yawning
Wide awake, but ready to sleep all day

Ready to be confused, with a distance I can use
Let me be confused, give me distance I can use
