1.Destination
Our instruments have no way of measuring this feeling
Can never cut below the floor, or penetrate the ceiling.
In the space between our houses, some bones have been
discovered,
But our procession lurches on, as if we had recovered.
Draconian winter unforetold.
One solar day, suddenly you're old.
Your little envelope just makes me cold,
Makes destination start to unfold.
Our documents are useless, or forged beyond believing.
Page forty-seven is unsigned, i need it by this evening.
In the space between our cities, a storm is slowly forming.
Something eating up our days, i feel it every morning.
Destination, destination.
It's not a religion, it's just a technique.
It's just a way of making you speak.
Distance and speed have left us too weak,
And destination looks kind of bleak.
Our elements are burned out, our beasts have been mistreated.
I tell you it's the only way we'll get this road completed.
In the space between our bodies, the air has grown small
fingers.
Just one caress, you're powerless, like all those clapped-out
swingers.
Destination, destination.
2.Under The Milky Way
Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty,
Sound of their breath fades with the light.
I think about the loveless fascination,
Under the milky way tonight.
Lower the curtain down in memphis,
Lower the curtain down all right.
I got no time for private consultation,
Under the milky way tonight.
Wish i knew what you were looking for.
Might have known what you would find.
Wish i knew what you were looking for.
Might have known what you would find.
And it's something quite peculiar,
Something that's shimmering and white.
Leads you here despite your destination,
Under the milky way tonight
(chorus)
Under the milky way tonight.
3.Blood Money
Blind with dollars,
Bought and sold.
And you pay for everything in cold, hard cash.
Better read through the fine print, you sift through the ash.
In the hand, blood money.
In the sand, blood money.
She's worth the ransom.
He says, 'do you accept my card,
Or can i pay for it now in cold, hard cash？'
I'm priceless, you're worthless, but it's not a bad match.
And i know you understand, it's blood money.
There's such a big demand, for blood money.
A hundred and fifty grand, blood money.
It's flowing under the land, like blood money.
He's worth the ransom.
She says, 'why can't you get hot？'
Because you pay for this now in cold, hard cash.
You make the front page, i'm gonna bring back the lash.
Then i know you'll understand, it's blood money.
There's such a big demand, for blood money.
A hundred and fifty grand, blood money.
It's flowing under the land, like blood money.
4.Lost
Sometimes i'm wondering under prehistoric skies.
I feel it's all beginning right before my eyes.
I must go back, reexamine my love.
Here she comes with the penetrated stare.
I don't know when, but i wish i knew where.
Quick calculation, there's not nearly enough.
Because we're lost, because we're lost.
Cold desert stars, feel them sparkle and frost,
They are so lost.
Follow her down to worship some god.
Who never speaks to me, i wonder if that's odd.
Then he says you're never listening.
The pursuit of adulation is your butter and your bread.
It's an exquisite corpse and its lips are red
And its teeth are glistening.
But you are lost, but you are lost.
Now hang up 'cause the lines are all crossed,
You are so lost.
If you're alone and you're feeling blue,
Everyone in persia probably feels like that too.
I just hope they don't believe like you do.
Here she comes with her unforgiving web.
Almost forever i've been drinking these dregs.
It must be time to change our brew, cruel, view.
Before we're lost, before we're lost.
Look at the map, add up the cost,
Before we're lost.
5.North, South, East And West
A war's being waged and the world's just a stage (in this city)
The real estate's prime, the number plates rhyme (liquidity)
Wear a gun and be proud, but bare breasts aren't allowed (in
this city)
Dream up a scam and then rake in the clams (liquidity)
(it's neither here nor there) it's neither here nor there
North and south and east and west
(it has to be somewhere) it oughta be somewhere
North and south and east and west
I take my payment, i catch my flight,
And don't wait up for me tonight
(and you might find me there) and you might find me there
North and south and east and west
Have a quick throw or host your own show (in this city)
To a wolf from a lamb for just half a gram (liquidity)
The face of today just a scalpel away
Restore your lost soul for two dollars plus toll (liquidity)
Backs are patted when calves are fatted (in this city)
The emperor's clothes are host for the proles (liquidity)
The guys with the brains are all bitter and vain (stupidity)
The guys with the luck got the bimbos and bucks (liquidity)
(chorus)
6.Spark
I'm saturated. i'm wet with your tears, you spill so easily.
In reflection i'll see you again.
Approach me, soak me.
Faith, faith, breathe.
'cause it's here, it's where the air is clear,
Where far off things could be quite near.
No repairs are needed, just a spark.
I'm interested, you've always been a subject, that i could
learn.
Splendid hills, unconquerable mountains.
Climb, don't ever turn back.
Seed, seed, grow.
(chorus)
(repeat first verse and chorus)
7.Antenna
Why do you always wrongly assume
That you're so well aware of what's happening there,
Right here in this room？
You're just an antenna, you're just a wire.
There's a thousand tongues wagging in your ears tonight,
And you turn around and you call me a liar.
Lightly babe, oh the fine lights cannot find you.
She stay out my way, it's the pulse i am aligned to.
And everything you say, you'll need that breath one day.
Well, you're just an antenna, you're just a code.
You translate like a book, the fuses all cook.
You eat humble pie and it tastes of the road.
Lightly babe, oh the fine lights cannot find you.
She say, that's the way, that's the fate i am resigned to.
And everything you say, you'll need that breath one day.
You're just an antenna, you're just a gauge.
You disturb my slumber and round up the numbers
And put them inside your velvety cage.
Lightly babe, oh the fine lights cannot find you.
She say, make my day, and the sunlight will not blind you.
Lightly babe, oh the fine lights cannot find you.
I may never pray to the fortune that's behind you.
8.Reptile
Too dangerous to keep.
Too feeble to let go.
And you want to bite the hand.
Should have stopped this long ago.
Go now, you've been set free.
Another month or so you'll be gorging on me ('poisoning me' on
2nd and 3rd times)
With your lovely smile.
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail,
Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales
Like a real reptile.
Had you coiled around my arm.
How could you ever know
How i loved your diamond eyes？
But that was long ago. (chorus)
And i should have believed eve.
She said we had to blow.
She was the apple of my eye.
It wasn't long ago. (chorus)
9.A New Season
Shaded crystal water, bathed in by god's daughter.
Sighing whispers near, a new season pae cure to conquer
loneliness.
It's strange and wilder, ageless bechilder
Saved by fire, touched and finer.
Peaceful, blissful union is the priestess.
Doubt flows the river into darkness
10.Hotel Womb
Volcano pierce the air, ashes block out the sun.
Down in the lair, well i met her there
With a price for everyone.
I paid eighty dollars for this wedding ring,
I couldn't take it off if i tried.
And the cactus sure tastes strangely sweet
As it goes down inside
I dream i'm safe in my hotel womb.
Soft and soul made, it's a wonderful room.
I wish i'm back in my hotel womb.
Slip through the crack, to that wonderful room.
Sudden voltage in the night, with a rainforest girl.
As we float downstream to the amazon river
Where the black waters swirl.
I say, why are you people wearing those masks？
I say, can we be reconciled？
She says the mother of the storm has to roam the sky
Searching for her child. (chorus)
Morning comes at last, and she's lying by my side.
She's got the face of the widow who keeps following me
And the body of my bride.
I say, why are those buildings swaying like trees？
I say, can we stop for a while？
She says, can't you hear the city that's hidden in there？
It's just another mile.
(chorus)
