How come I end up where I started?
How come I end up where I went wrong?
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out then you cut the string

How come I end up where I started?
How come I end up where I went wrong?
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
'Cause you reel me out and then you cut the string

You used to be alright
What happened?
Did the cat get your tongue

This is just a nightmare
Soon I'm gonna wake up
Someone's gonna bring me 'round

Running from the bombers
Hiding in the forest
Running through the fields
Laying flat on the ground

Just like everybody
Stepping over hills
Running from the underground

This is your warning
4 Minute Warning

I don't wanna hear it
I don't wanna know
I just wanna run and hide

This is just a nightmare

I am the next act
Waiting in the wings
I am an animal
Trapped in your hot car
I am all the days
That you choose to ignore

You're all I need
You're all I need
I am in the middle of your picture
Lying in the reeds

I am a moth
Who just wants to share your light
I am just an insect
Trying to get out of the night
I only stick with you
Because there are no others

You're all I need

She bit me, she bit me, she bit me, ow
I got the poison, poison, poison now

I'm standing in the hall
I'm puking at the wall
It's all in sound to the conger eel

The bangers in the mash
The negatives for cash
You're either in the club, baby, or you're not

Whatever turns you on
Whatever gets you up
Chief of police or vice-chancellor

Lord and Lady bla bla
The vicar and the judge

I do not
Understand
What it is
I've done wrong
Full of holes
Check the pulse
Blink your eyes
One for yes
Two for no

I have no idea what I am talking about
I'm trapped in this body and can't get out
Ooooohhhh

You killed the sound
Removed backbone
A pale imitation
With the edges sawn off

I have no idea what you are talking about
I'm trapped in this body and can't get out
Ooooohhhh

Get yourself together
Let the light pour in
Pour yourself a hot bath, pour yourself a drink
Nothing's gonna happen without a warning
Down is the new up
What is up, buttercup
Down is the new up, is the new up

Your services are not required
Your future's bleak, you're so last week

Ladies and gentlemen, without a safety net
I shall now perform a 18

One two three four

Wakey wakey
Rise and shine
It's on again, off again, on again
Watch me fall
Like dominos
In pretty patterns
Fingers in the blackbird pie
I'm tingling tingling tingling
It's what you feel now
What you ought to, what you ought to
Reasonable and sensible
Dead from the neck up
Because im stuffed, stuffed, stuffed
We thought you had it in you
But no, no, no
For no real reason

Over here
Go slowly
Come slowly to me

I've been waiting
Patient
Patiently

I didn't notice
But now I can see

That there's a way out
That there's a way out
That there's a way out

I don't want to be your friend
I just want to be your lover
No matter how it ends
No matter how it starts

Forget about your house of cards
And I'll deal mine
Forget about your house of cards
And I'll deal mine

Fall off the table,
And get swept under

The infrastructure will collapse
From vaulted spires
Throw your keys in the bowl
Cause your house burned tonight

Just as you take my hand
Just as you write my number down
Just as the drinks arrive
Just as they play your favourite song
As the magic disappears
No longer wound up like a spring
Before you've had too much
Come back and focus again

The walls abandon shape
You've got a cheshire cat grin
All blurring into one
This place is on a mission
Before the night owl
Before the animal noises

Appliances have gone berserk
I can't long keep up
Treading on people's toes
Snot-nosed little fools

And I can't face the evening straight
And you can offer me escape
Houses live and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief, believe, relief, believe

And I'm gonna talk
I just want to talk
Please don't interrupt
Just sit back and listen

'Cause I can't face the evening straight

Instrumental

Don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen
You paint yourself white
And fill up with noise
There'll be something missing
Now that you've found it
It's gone
Now that you feel it
You don't
It's gone forever

So don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen
You'll go to Hell
For what your
Dirty mind is thinking

And now that you found it
It's gone
Now that you feel it
You don't

reckoner
you can't take it with you
dancing for your pleasure
you are not to blame for
bittersweet distractors
dare not speak his name
dedicated to all you
all you human beings.

because we separate
like ripples on a blank shore
(in rain, in rain)
because we separate (in rainbows)
like ripples on a blank shore (in rainbows).

reckoner
take me with you
dedicated to all you
all you beings.

Monster in the tide pool
Trapped in our birth space
A man snake charming
The mixture of mother craze

All the right moves and in the right percent
Watch my dog, a puppet
Looking as it's seen a strain

Give me an answer
Give me a sign
I've been climbing up this ladder
I've been wasting my time

Climb up the ladder
Up the ladder
Up
Climb, climb up the ladder
Up the ladder
Up on the ladder

When I'm at the pearly gates
This will be on my videotape
My videotape

When mephistopheles is just beneath
And he's reaching up to grab me

This is one for the good days
And I have it all here, in red blue green
In red blue green

You are my centre when I spin away
Out of control
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape

This is my way of saying goodbye

In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?

I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me

Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance

I get eaten by the worms
Weird fishes
Get towed by the worms
Weird fishes
