Writer(s):Carlos Dengler/Daniel Kessler/Paul Banks/Sam Fogarino

Surprise, sometimes, will come around
Surprise, sometimes, will come around
I will surprise you sometime.
I'll come around
Oh, I will surprise you sometime.
I'll come around when you're down...


2.Obstacle 1

Writer(s):Carlos Dengler/Daniel Kessler/Paul Banks/Sam Fogarino

I wish i could eat the salt off your last faded lips
We can cap the old times make playing only logical harm
We can top the old lines clay-making that nothing else will
change.
But she can read, she can read, she can read, she can read,
she's bad
Oh, she's bad

It's different now that I'm poor and aging, I'll never see this
face again
You go stabbing yourself in the neck
It's different now that I'm poor and aging, and I'll never see
this place again
And you go stabbing yourself in the neck

We can find new ways of living make playing only logical harm
And we can top the old times, clay-making that nothing else will
change.
But she can read, she can read, she can read, she can read,
she's bad
Oh, she's bad


It's in the way that she posed,
it's in the things that she puts in my head
Her stories are boring and stuff.
She's always calling my bluff.
She puts the weights into my little heart,
And she gets in my room and she takes it apart.
She puts the weights into my little heart,
I said she puts the weights into my little heart.

She packs it away

It's in the way that she walks
Her heaven is never enough
She puts the weights in my heart
She puts, oh she puts the weights into my little heart.


3.NYC

Writer(s):Carlos Dengler/Daniel Kessler/Paul Banks/Sam Fogarino

I had seven faces
Thought I new which one to wear
But I'm sick of spending these lonely nights
Training myself not to care
The subway is a porno
The pavements they are a mess
I know you've supported me for a long time
Somehow I'm not impressed

But


New York cares
(Got to be some more change in my life)

The subway she is a porno
The pavements they are a mess
I know you've supported me for a long time
Somehow I'm not impressed

It is up to me now, turn on the bright lights

Yours is the only version of my desertion that I could ever
subscribe to
That is all that I can do
You are a past sinner, the last winner, I'm reaping all around
me
Until the last drop is behind you
But you're so cute when you're frustrated, dear
Yeah, you're so cute when you're sedated, oh dear

Sleep tight, grim rite, we have two hundred couches where you
can...
Sleep tight, grim rite, we have two hundred couches where you
can...
Sleep tight, grim rite, we have two hundred couches where you
can
Sleep tonight,
Sleep tonight,
Sleep tonight,
Sleep tonight.

You are the only person who's completely certain there's nothing
here to be into
That is all that you can do
You are a past sinner, the last winner, and everything we've
come to makes you you

But you cannot safely say that while I will be away, you will
not consider sadly
How you helped me to stray
And you will not reach me I am resenting a position that's past
resentment and now
I can't consider, and now there is this distance, so...

Sleep tight, grim rite, we have two hundred couches where you
can...
Sleep tight, grim rite, we have two hundred couches where you
can...
Sleep tight, grim rite, we have two hundred couches where you
can
Sleep tonight,
Sleep tonight,
Sleep tonight,
Sleep tonight.

Something to say,
Something to do,
Nothing to say,
There's nothing to do.


5.Say Hello To The Angels

Writer(s):Carlos Dengler/Daniel Kessler/Paul Banks/Sam Fogarino

I want your silent parts
The parts the birds love
I know there's such a place

I had my back turned
You didn't realize
I'm lonely

You lack the things
To which I relate
But I see no harm

Come wait, come wait, come wait
It's over.
One...two...three...do me

When I'm feeling lazy, it's probably because,
I'm saving all my energy to pick up when you move into my
airspace
You move into my airspace

And something's coming over me, I see you in the doorway
I can't control the part of me that swells up when you move into
my airspace
You move into my airspace

But each night, I bury my love around you...
You're linked to my innocence

This is a concept
This is a bracelet
This isn't no intervention

This isn't you yet
What you thought was such a conquest
You're hair is so pretty and red
Baby, baby you're really the best...

Can I get there this way?
I think so

We should take a trip now to see new places
I'm sick of this town
I see my face has changed.

Say hello, say hello, to the angels.


6.Hands Away

Writer(s):Carlos Dengler/Daniel Kessler/Paul Banks/Sam Fogarino

Will you put my hands away?
Will you be my man?
Serve it up, don't wait
Let's see about this ham.

Oh, what happened?

Home spun desperation's knowing
Inside your cover's always blown


7.Obstacle 2

Writer(s):Carlos Dengler/Daniel Kessler/Paul Banks/Sam Fogarino

I'm gonna pull you in close
I'm gonna wrap you up tight
I'm gonna play with the braids that you came here with tonight
I'm gonna hold your face, and toast the snow that fell
Because friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell

I feel like love is in the kitchen with a culinary eye
I think he's making something special
And I'm smart enough to try
If you don't trust yourself for at least one minute each day,
Well you should trust in this, girl, cause loving is coming our
way.

If you can fix me up we'll go a long way
If you can fix me up, girl, we'll go a long way.

(Take my love in real small doses.)

I will stand by all this drinking if it helps me through these
days
It takes a long time just to get this all straight.
I'll showcase on Route 7 when I find the right place
It takes a long time just to get this all straight
In my mind, this is my free-time
Because friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell.

(Take my love in real small doses)

I will stand by all this drinking if it helps me through these
days
But I've spent a long time corresponding in my own way.
I'll showcase on Route 7 when I find the right place
But it takes a long time just to get this all straight
In my mind, this is my free time...

To let it all away
Spend it all today
Spend it all today
It took time then I found you.


8.Stella Was A Diver And She Was Always Down

Writer(s):Carlos Dengler/Daniel Kessler/Paul Banks/Sam Fogarino

When she walks down the street,
She knows there's people watching.
The building fronts are just fronts
To hide the people watching her

But she once fell through the street
Down a manhole in that bad way
The underground drip
Was just like her scuba days

Days
Daze
Days
Daze

She was all right because the sea was so airtight, she broke
away
She is all right but she can't come out tonight, she broke away
She was all right, yeah the sea was so tight, air tight
She broke away, broke away

At the bottom of the ocean she dwells
At the bottom of the ocean she dwells
From crevices caressed by fingers
And fat blue serpent swells
Stella, Stella, Stella, Stella I love you


Well, she was my catatonic sex toy, love-joy diver
She went down down down there into the sea,
Yeah she went down down down there, down there for me, right on

So good, oh yeah, right on


(There's something that's invisible,
There's some things you can't hide,
Try detect you when I'm sleeping,
In a wave you say goodbye...)


9.Roland

Writer(s):Carlos Dengler/Daniel Kessler/Paul Banks/Sam Fogarino

My best friend's a butcher, he has sixteen knives
He carries them all over the town at least he tries,
Oh look it stopped snowing
My best friend's from Poland and, um, he has a beard.
But they caught him with his case in that public place
That is what we had feared

He severed segments secretly you like that
He always took the time to speak with me
I liked him for that.
He severed segments so secretly you like that
He always took the time, he always took the time

My best friend's a butcher, he has sixteen knives
He carries them all over the town at least he tries,
Oh look it stopped snowing
My best friend's from Poland and, um, he has a beard.
But they caught him with his case in that public place
That is what we had feared

He severed segments secretly you like that
He always took the time to speak with me,
I liked him for that
He severed segments so secretly you like that.
He was growing on me.
He was growing on me.

11.Leif Erikson

Writer(s):Carlos Dengler/Daniel Kessler/Paul Banks/Sam Fogarino

She says it helps with the lights out
Her rabid glow is like braille to the night.
She swears I'm a slave to the details
But if your life is such a big joke, why should I care?

The clock is set for nine but you know you're gonna make it
eight.
So that you two can take some time,
Teach each other to reciprocate.

She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid
gloves
But she doesn't know that I left my urge in the icebox
She swears I'm just prey to the female,
Well then hook me up and throw me,
Baby cakes, 'cause I like to get hooked.

The clock is set for nine but you know you're gonna make it
eight.
All the people that you've loved
They're all bound to leave some keepsakes.
I've been swinging all the time,
Think it's time to learn your way.
I picture you and me together in the jungle it would be ok.

I'll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night
That is supposing that you don't sleep tonight

It's like learning a new a language
Helps me catch up on my mime
If you don't bring up those lonely parts
This could be a good time
It's like learning a new language

You come here to me
We'll collect those lonely parts and set them down
You come here to me

She says brief things, her love's a pony
My love's subliminal

She says brief things, her love's a pony
My love's subliminal

Writer(s):Carlos Dengler/Daniel Kessler/Paul Banks/Sam Fogarino

Been bad, Saturn makes your mind break in pieces
Been bad, so you cannot find the dimensions
But it will be around this box that I've given to you
You will know that you'll breathe my vapors every time that you
pass through this room
Pass through this room
Walk through my gloom

Daphne you find me

Daphne, when you find me let the blood drive and come lie with
me Daphne, symmetry you can't help but admire what a joy through
this
Is be bad, Saturn makes your mind break in pieces

Been bad, so you cannot find the dimensions
It will be around these spots that I've given to you
You will know that you'll breathe my vapors every time that you
pass through this room
Pass through this room
Walk through my gloom

Daphne you find me
Daphne when you find me to put you were inside use that for my
memory Daphne symmetry you can't help but admire what a joy
through this is to be

I was a child,I was a vice, a coyote, traditions locations facts
I was a child,I was a vice a coyote, traditions locations facts

Erase them all perhaps
Erase them all

My own thing, my own thing

Now you're all that I have here
Now we can't remember
But you could fall back on lust when you've learn to wait
They can be like the friends and neighbors you will get to
appreciate them

I have inside me some strange glow
Im still enjoying this that's why I made a mess
Im still enjoying this that's why I made a mess
That's why I made a mess

Writer(s):Carlos Dengler/Daniel Kessler/Paul Banks/Sam Fogarino

You can't sit up
You fell too fast
You come at the right time
Yeah, you come too fast
You bloom in spring
Yeah, you move the sky
You've come in singing
Yeah, you call me a liar

You were like a cloud
Yes you are a flower
Then you were a lime
Now our love is sour
You were like a flower
You were just like a flower
Then you were a lime
Now our love is sour

Don't give up (I owe youâ¦)
No don't give up
Oh don't give up
Don't give up (I owe youâ¦)
You were like a cloud

Yes you were a flower
Then you were a lime
Now our love is sour
You were like a cloud
You were just like a flower
Then you were a lime
Now our love is sour


Here I feel I wish I could just see it
The love the hate the things that separate
Forcing conscious to conscious every small attack
It takes a small man to notice but not to act up
Confrontation complication needs a foundation
I'm calm baby, I'm calm

You were like a cloud
Yes you are a flower you move i love life is all we need
Then you were a lime
Now our love is so sour you move i love life is all we need
So sour¦
So sour¦

Don't give up
No don't give up
Oh don't give up
No don't give up
Start again buttercup(I owe she)

Start again buttercup (I owe she)
Start again, start again dear (I owe she)

Writer(s):Carlos Dengler/Daniel Kessler/Paul Banks/Sam Fogarino

Yeah I sure do miss the early days
When I was so drunk
Tied up in so many ways
Looking for the sanctity of love 'cause
I might make you handsome
Yeah, I might give you me
Handsome, it's getting awfully tough
Oh Yeah, to have the right means

If it weren't for this fear, I just might really be someone
But I can make it in peacetime, find some violence here and you
come straight to me

Oh we're starting up the rain again
Starting up the rain again
Starting to look the same again
I said isn't that a shame

It goes by
By a fine wide mile
You'll be there, for me sweetie pie
You'll be there for the dream choir
Drop your money away

I might make you handsome
I might if you plead
Try the long way back
You can stay travelling with that black cab
You can stay travelling with that black cab
Honey if you did it, I would do that

Bitch Slap Maybelline stay hidden yeah remain unseen
Bitch Slap Maybelline stay hidden yeah remain unseen
Bitch slap Maybelline stay hidden
Bitch slap Maybelline stay hidden yeah remain

Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why

Pumpkin don't you stray that far within the room
Cause grammy will be coming home soon
You might get lost
I said you might get lost
Then I sure would miss you

Babe, someday I'll break down
Babe, don't break, I might drown
Baby at this rate, time should slow down
