2.Soul Protection

Johnny's got a job
Spreading the cure
Self employed
He's a one man crusade

We want to give you your soul protection

Something inside
Big mistake
Spread the word
To the new generation

We want to give you your soul protection

One more night
One more dream
One more time
One more scream
One more heart
One more name
One more chance
For your soul protection.

Johnny's got pride
'i'll pay it all back'
Now he calls it
'the poetry of motion'

We want to give you your soul protection

Listen to this
This is life
Listen to your heart
And you're living under clock law

We want to give you your soul protection

Hide your fear
Hide your shame
Hide your tears
And hide your pain
Hide your face
Hide your name
Hide your need
For your soul protection

Everybody's scared
Big glass house
Don't throw stones
At your soul protection

We want to give you your soul protection

Johnny's got faith
Prays to god
Mention love
And he calls it 'nostalgia'

We want to give you your soul protection.


3.Confession

Listen up
This is confession
This machine motion is sure to break my heart

Listen up
This is confession
Recorded music sticks in the throat of god.

I o u, you don't own me
I o u, you don't own me
Party time, one mor night, everybody's affected

Listen up
This is confession
You are a poison that flows into my veins.

Listen up
This is confession
I've never been so scared of letting you down.

You know me, so come closer
You know me, so come closer
Party time, one more town, everybody's affected.

I know you, you don't need me
I know you, you don't need me
Party time, one more girl, everybody's affected

Listen up
This is confession
They tell me heaven just has to be somewhere

Listen up
This is confession
I'd lie to god if i could make him believe.

You owe me, and i need you
You owe me, and i need you
Party time, one more game, everybody's affected

This is my confession
This is my confession
Party time, one more lie, everybody's affected


4.My World Storm

This is new vengeance.

I like noise
I suck art
I like romance when it's in my car.
This is new vengeance.

I like games
I like you
I like pressure if it hurts them too.
This is new vengeance.

I'll do it, i can do it
I'll take it, if i want it
I'll say it, if i feel it
I'll have it, if i need it

Sold out
No shit
Don't need approval and i don't need this.
This is new vengeance.

I like cars
I like fame
I like people when they call my name.
This is new vengeance.

I'll burn your picture
I'll burn your house down
I'll change your world then
I'll listen to reason.


5.Dream Killer

So i've seen my future
And i've seen dream killers
And i've seen you everytime.

So i've heard opinions
And i've heard dark rumours
And i've heard you everytime.

You hurt my feelings
You hurt my family
You hurt my reasons to try
I can't forgive you
I will remember
I'll pay you back one cold day.

So i've seen my weakness
And i've seen my heart break
And i've seen you everytime.

So i've heard promises
And i've heard every lie
And i've heard you everytime.

You lied to father
You lied to mother
You lied to brother and me
I used to dream, now
I forget how to
So should i learn how to lie?

You take my picture
You take my ghosts and laugh
You take my reason
You take my soul away.
You take my heartbeat
You take my innocence
You take my dreams and
You'll take my life away.

So now i'm old news
And you would change me
But i'm so tired of this
There is no comfort
In fame when it dies
And i'm so tired of it.


6.Dark Sunday

You're like poison
You smile at me
Talk of love.
'he' will forgive me
If i confess.

Your dark sunday
You lied to me
And so i
Replaced god
With a picture of my car.

I don't like this
I don't like this.

I'm on the e kick
So heaven's in my head
I'm in outland
Shame on me.

I want pictures
People come, people go
D'you think god
Will forgive me soon?

You won't like this
You won't like this.

Rip it up
Rip it into pieces
Rip it up
Rip it for good.

Touch me, touch me.

He won't like this
He won't like this

'he' won't touch me
I can't dance and i can't sing
I'm not stone shape
But time runs out.

I don't like this
All i see is cold and hard
All i can do now
Is break 'the word'

I don't like this
I don't like this.

'he' will love me?
Well thank him
For nothing.
I need that like
I need a disease.

So pray for me.
I don't mind
I don't care.
I've found love
It's an american machine.

I don't like this
I don't like this.


7.Outland

I'm in outland
Sex tension
She whispers things i need

Look in her heart
Slow motion
'i've been expecting you.'

I'm in outland
I'll do anything.

I'm in outland
Storm my heart
Tear me up if you like.

Come closer
Say nothing
I've got something for you.

I shape sound
I shape time
I'll shape your world for you.

I'm in outland
I'll do anything.

I'm in outland
Emotion
Dark whispers in my head.

Got the sex scream
On new film
I've got the friend i need.

Don't play safe
Don't play clean
Don't play if you can't lose.

I'm in outland
I'll do anything.


8.Heart

Does she make you laugh?
Does she make you cry?
Does she call your name?
Let me tell you why.

Have you ever tried to look into her eyes?
Have you ever tried to look into her heart?

There is no-one home.
Time will heal you
Time heals everything
Just an empty room.
Time will help you
Time helps you forget
There's no tears for you.
Time will heal you
Time heals everyone
There's no heart at all.
Time will help you
Time helps you forget me.

She will change your world.
She will change your mind.
She will change your rules.
She will make you blind.

You will never try to look into her eyes.
You will never try to look into her heart.

See there's no-one home.
Time will heal you
Time heals everything
See an empty room.
Time will help you
Time helps you forget
See no tears for you.
Time will heal you
Time heals everyone
See no heart at all.
Time will help you
Time helps you forget me.

I'll leave you
You'll try to forget.
I'll haunt you.
Like someone haunts me.
I'll leave you.
You'll try to forgive.
I'll haunt you.
Like someone haunts me.

Does she laugh at you
Like she laughed at me?
Does she break your heart
Like she broke mine?

10.From Russia Infected

Seen the man?
New disease
Everybody's infected.

Seen the man?
He'll storm your heart
Everybody believes.

Seen the man?
Sly new game
Kiss another cute baby.

Seen the man?
No war machine
So everybody wants peace?

Everybody's infected
Everybody believes.

I've been looking for something
But it just gets harder
I could look for ever
What am i going to do.

Storm the heart
Boy threw up
Everybody's disgusted.

Storm the heart
Girl went down
Everybody looked shocked.

Storm the heart
New young thing
Everybody's obsession.

Storm the heart
'levi' jeans
Think it's cool to kill.

Everybody's infected
Everybody believes.

One more reason
One more lie.

Dreams are cruel
This is life
It replaced religion.

Change your mind
Make it mine
Everybody looks sad.

Dirty film
Ten years old
This is russia infected.

Party time
Time runs out
Everybody go home.

Everybody's infected
Everybody believes.

12.Devotion

Charm up, strange down
Old face, new sound.
Same kick, same pain
Same reason, same game so.

Dance, let's move.

I can't dance, i can't sing
I'm too old, i'm too thin so?
Motion, i'm in love
One night's enough so.

Dance, let's move.

You can play
You can lose
You can't win
('i'm still looking for rhythm')
You can choose

Move up, i don't like this motion
Move out, i don't like this feeling
Move up, i don't need devotion
Move out, i don't need a reason.

'and i'm still looking for the rhythm.'


13.Whisper

I wonder if at times
You ever think of me
Or even call my name.
I don't suppose you do.

They talk of rain
They talk of time
They talk of pain
They talk of mine.

They whisper names
They whisper news
They whisper 'shame'
They whisper you.

I tried to look for you.
I tried for years and years.
I wonder if you knew?
I don't suppose you cared.

'i leave old memories
Ghosts in hearts like yours.
I left your words unheard
Like whispers in my heart.'

I think of tears
I think of who?
I think of years
I think of you.
