The Boxer Rebellion Union Lyrics
1.Flashing Red Light Means Go

What's the use in my advice that you just turn down?
Swaying to a serenade you never hear a sound
But I know you know now

Generate the false alarms, the verdict, counterfeit
Flashing lights to bring you back from who you're running with
But I know you know now

Tell me why you're leaving?
Tell me why you're leaving us?

Moving to a caged mistake, expression isolates
Owing up for deals you struck, for deals you can't replace
But I know you know now

Tell me why you're leaving?
Tell me why you're leaving us?

And you can't say no, you can't say
And you can't say no, you can't, you can't say

Tell me why you're leaving?
Tell me why you're leaving?

Tell me why you're leaving?
(Why you wanna leave so bad?)
(Why you wanna leave so bad?)
(Why you wanna leave so bad?)
(Why you wanna leave so bad?)

Tell me why you're leaving us?
(Why you wanna leave so bad?)
(Why you wanna leave so bad?)
(Why you wanna leave so bad?)
(Why you wanna leave so bad?)


2.Move On

Rip up the proof, rip up the proof
Rip up the proof before the damage is done
Damage is done, damage is done, damage is

Don't stop talking when no one's listening
What you want? What you want?
What you want?

Red eyes are worn thin
You're thrown off the deep end
Gone under, gone under

You know your place
Look for the quick escape
You know your place
Look for the quick escape

Rip up the proof, rip up the proof
Rip up the proof before the damage is done
Damage is done, damage is done, damage is

Judgment, your false sense
You go on the defense
You don't want, you don't want

You know your place
Look for the quick escape
You know your place
Look for the quick escape

Move on, move on, move on, move on
Move on, move on, move on, move on
Move on, move on, move on, move on
Move on, move on, move on, move on
Move on, move on, move on, move on


3.Evacuate

I don't wanna say if it goes your way
And I don't wanna try, you don't have to lie
And I don't think I said what I should have said
I never caught you out though I had my doubts

Wait, when there's nothing left to waste
On a promise I can make
You don't want no one this way, wait

And I don't see inside where you try to hide
And I don't wanna do what you asked me to

Wait, when there's nothing left to waste
On a promise I can make
You don't want no one this way, wait

We see each other from the corners of the room
I think to them this mess is over, I never make a move
When all I see is broken down to every size
I will remember how we got here closing every eye

I don't remember if the rest are ever good enough
And I don't remember if the rest will ever mean as much

And I don't wanna say if it goes away
And I don't wanna try, you don't have to lie


4.Soviets

Lyricist:Adam Harrison, Piers Hewitt, Todd Howe, Nathan Nicholson

Heading westwards towards the sun
When the past starts to bleed into one
And the rest will disagree
How your innocence can sway easily

But oh, I can tell your words so well
And all I can see is that I, I'm sorry, sorry
I'm sorry, sorry

Heading westwards towards the sun
Where we're going everything comes undone
We were lost from the start
We won't be here when the rest falls apart

But oh, I can tell your words so well
And all I can see is that I, I'm sorry, sorry
I'm sorry, sorry

And I will track you down, and I will track you down
And I will track you down, and I will track you down
(Run around, don't run, I'll run 'round)
And I will track you down, and I will track you down
(Run around, don't run, I'll run 'round)

And I will track you down, and I will track you down
(Run around, don't run, I'll run 'round)
And I will track you down, and I will track you down
(Run around, don't run, I'll run 'round)
And I will track you down, and I will track you down

Oh, I can tell your words so well
And all I can see is that I, I'm sorry, sorry
I'm sorry, sorry


5.Spitting Fire

WHAT THE REST DID I WAS AVERAGE. BUT I DON'T MIND. DRAWN ON TWO
SIDES WITHOUT DISGUISE. BUT I DON'T
MIND. BUT I, I SPIT FIRE. ON LOVERS AND LIARS. AND YOU, YOU
DON'T BELIEVE ME. AND I, I FIND IT EASY. EASY. YOU'RE RECRUITED
HEAD DILUTED. THROUGH A
GLASS EYE. DREAMS IN FICTION, LOST RELIGION. BUT I DON'T MIND.
CAUSE I, I SPIT FIRE. ON LOVERS AND LIARS. AND YOU, YOU DON'T
BELIEVE ME. AND I, I FIND IT
EASY. EASY. WHAT THE REST DID I WAS AVERAGE. BUT I DON'T MIND.
RUNS ON NO SLEEP DRAWN TO DEFEAT. BUT I DON'T MIND. AND I, I
SPIT FIRE. ON LOVERS AND
LIARS. AND YOU, YOU DON'T DECEIVE ME. AND I, I FIND IT EASY.
EASY.


6.Misplaced

Misplaced, given chances you won't take
Shy away from the heartache just a means to an end
Your quick fix in the ring of the conflict
With nothing to work with and nothing in mind

And then we'll rise with fire in our eyes
And take you by surprise
Make up, deceive a voice to receive
A light that never leaves

Slow right down, slow right down

Lost love with little to speak of
These feelings of bad blood must go quickly away
Your loose ends, realizing your true friends
In a war that no one wins let the sleeping dogs lie

And then we'll rise with fire in our eyes
And take you by surprise
Make up, deceive a voice to receive
A light that never leaves

Slow right down, slow right down
Slow right down, slow right down
Slow right down, slow right down
Slow right down, slow right down
Slow right down, slow right down
Slow right down, slow right down


7.The Gospel Of Goro Adachi

Breached in straight lines, asked to stop
Tunnel vision wasted up

We got lost and found ourselves surrounded by things
They're getting closer
All around us blinding lights began to set fire
To our minds and

Long directions mixing up
Points of reference bound and stuck
Talks to nothing falls apart
Constant questions from the start

We got lost and found ourselves surrounded by things
They're getting closer
All around us blinding lights began to set fire
To our minds and

I don't want to lie, I don't want to
I don't want to be myself
I don't want to lie, I don't want to
I don't want to be myself

I don't want to lie, I don't want to
I don't want to be myself
I don't want to lie, I don't want to
I don't want to be myself

What's done is done
What's done is done to me
What's done is done
What's done is done because

We got lost and found ourselves surrounded by things
They're getting closer
All around us blinding lights began to set fire
To our minds and


8.These Walls Are Thin

Lyricist:Adam Harrison, Nathan Nicholson, Piers Hewitt, Todd Howe

Look brave, look brave my innocent
Don't talk, these walls are thin
Shield your ears, shield your ears from the vertigo
Won't hear us roam 'round here again

Just stay where you are
Don't start, don't start
So here we are, here we are now
And here we are now

Misguided, misguided casualty
Always more concerned about TV
Take a break, take a break in luxury
Satisfaction forever guaranteed

Just stay where you are
Don't start, don't start
So here we are, here we are
And here we are now

Now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now


9.Forces

Lyricist:Adam Harrison, Nathan Nicholson, Piers Hewitt, Todd Howe

Lost the plot without regard or thought
Never getting caught, never your own
Endless threats from a nervous wreck
Showing no regrets, never alone

Forces, dark forces are everywhere
They won't stop, they won't stop 'til you're here
These forces, dark forces are everywhere
They won't stop, they won't stop 'til you're here

Sly remarks, a reaction starts
When things fall apart past any doubt
Well aware, a naive grudge to bear
A deadlocked affair with or without

Forces, dark forces are everywhere
They won't stop, they won't stop 'til you're here
These forces, dark forces are everywhere
They won't stop, they won't stop 'til you're here

Don't save yourself for someone else
Don't save yourself for someone else

These things I see are meant to prove
This weight I have will fall from view


10.Semi Automatic

I am waiting in a world you don't want
Suffocating by an endless weak spot
Please note up here my hands are tied up too from

All I can see makes it hard for me
The last one to say good son, one more day

You know I am here but I am losing
Faith in what I see you celebrating
I know up here I'll be proven guilty

All I can see makes it hard for me
The last one to say good son, one more day

All I can see makes it hard for me
The last one to say good son, one more day


11.Silent Movie

Surface take to the breeze, off hand missed deeds
Prudent motherly eye has passed me by

Build on all of your guard, hopeless die hard
Crawling low on all fours, resolve my scars

Vacant taste in your mouth, descends falls out
Silent silhouette you get, you get

Trigger break to the left, we've been mislead
Keep up fast as you can, our force commands

And I don't want to believe you put me up for release
But I just want some peace for us
