1.Downtime
Lyricist:Beau Cook, Paul Jago, Tim Mcdonald, Jud Ruhl, Brain Ward
Hey
Some are gonna make it look easy, say moderation is the key
Moderation in the heart of excess, as long as you got, got the
money
Some are gonna be just a cog in the machine
Some claim there's no cause higher than me
Some people, sweetheart, they're gonna play you for a fool
Gonna wait until you turn your back before they're cruel
Time, time, baby, to put it together, uh huh
Turn yourself back around
Give it right back, back to 'em, don't stop, honey
Don't let them break you down, down
Some are gonna be slaves to their appetite
Some are gonna get depressed for success
(Don't they look nice)
Some are gonna get lost in the fog of the past
Some are gonna emerge from themselves at last
Time, time, baby, to put it together, uh huh
Turn yourself back around
Give it right back, back to 'em, don't stop, honey
Don't let them break you down, down
Some are gonna wanna just bind you up and never let go
Some are gonna wanna structure the universe to fit their ego
Yeah, some are gonna come off chargin' like a bull
Some just wanna smear themselves across something beautiful
Time, time, baby, to put it together, uh huh
Turn yourself back around
Give it right back, back to 'em, don't stop, honey
Don't let them break you down, down
Time, baby, to put it together, uh huh
Turn yourself back around
Give it right back, back to 'em, don't stop, honey
Don't let them break you down, down
Now don't let them break you down, down
Now don't let them break you down, down
Now don't let them break you down, down
Some say there's no ground left to stand on
That we are movin' in the midst of an empty sea
Gotta jump ship in the middle of the ocean
Gotta jump ship lookin', find some new security
2.Hammer In A Shell
Lyricist:Beau Cook, Paul Jago, Tim Mcdonald, Jud Ruhl, Brain Ward
She cracked a smile broad as the horizon
And all her receptors were firing, oh
Swinging her hips just like ringing a bell
Swing a hammer in on a shell
Oh, making a move just to throw a restraint
You get what'cha is from what'cha ain't, oh
So we gonna trespass on all we dunno
Gonna go where we can go
I feel alright, right
Yeah, we can dupe the design
If we can model the motion
Oh, honey we gonna rise above all the commotion
Collapsing through her event horizon
And all her receptors were firing, oh
Swinging her hips just like ringing a bell
Swing a hammer in a shell
I feel alright, right
Now, we can work the design
If we can manage the motion
Oh, honey we gonna rise above all the commotion
Yeah, we can tame the design
If we can harness the motion
Oh, honey, we gonna rise above all the commotion
Take a dip in your emotion
She's a ringer ever after
Pealing off a crack of laughter
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Rise above the, rise above the
Rise above the commotion
3.Shells
Lyricist:Beau Cook, Paul Jago, Tim Mcdonald, Jud Ruhl, Brain Ward
What's in your coconut?
Nothing but marbles
Rolling around a shell
Better give them a spill
Under the bright blue sky
Oh, what a pretty high
I'll pile 'til that exile
And spill 'til that spirit
Flies back home
What's in your low water?
Nothing but turtles
Piling up on their shells
Overcoming themselves
Under the bright blue sky
Oh, what a fatal high
Now, I'll pile 'til that exile
And spill 'til that spirit
Flies back home
4.Watching The Girl
Lyricist:Beau Cook, Paul Jago, Tim Mcdonald, Jud Ruhl, Brain Ward
Watching the girl straddle the world
Just like the snake that swallows it's tail
You know that I been where I wasn't seen
Kissing temptation under the veil
I was alone, walkin' back home
When she reached out and took hold of me
Shook my sense out, said not to doubt
That we were naked or you can never go home
Still the sirens sing a whale song
Covered up by machinery hum
While we're kept here separated
And bangin' on our windows
Said we were pent up in an accident
Vergin' on nowhere, oh, we gonna spread
Spreadin' it wide, breakin' inside
And no past to cling to, to turn back the tide
Let the screen fall 'til the heart stalls
Let your chain out, keep your control
While we're kept here insatiated
By the needs we've fabricated
Still the sirens sing a whale song
Covered up by machinery hum
While we're kept here domesticated
And bangin' on our windows
Watching the girl straddle the world
Just like the snake that swallows it's tail
You know that I been where I wasn't seen
Kissing temptation under the veil
Veil, veil, veil
Veil, veil, veil
Veil, veil, veil
...
5.The First Day of Spring
Lyricist:Eric Howden, Paul Jago, Tim Mcdonald, Jud Ruhl, Brian Ward
My friend
Don't just sit there and ruminate
With your navel to contemplate
Oh, it's a beautiful day outside
Time's passing you by
Come on out
Don't just sit there catatonic
I'm feeling supersonic
A west wind is sweeping by
The sun's full in the sky
And there's no way of knowing
No way to know
Know how long it'll last
No way of knowing
No way to know
Know how long it'll last
Come on out
Don't just sit there and decompose
Go throw on some summer clothes
I would enjoy your company
One thing please hurry
Cause there's no way of knowing
No way to know
Know how long it'll last
No way of knowing
No way to know
Know how long it'll last, yeah
My friend
It's time that you begin again
Time that you begin again
Time that you begin again
Time that you begin yeah
You can't mean it
You can't mean it
You can't mean it
...
6.Sarsaparilla
Lyricist:Beau Cook, Paul Jago, Tim Mcdonald, Jud Ruhl, Brain Ward
Strive for power after hours
All the kids have been devoured
We slipped away through all the trash and traffic
To catch a glimpse gazing up at the stars
But all we saw were satellite advertisements
Reading, 'You're ours'
Got consumed by all I consumed
They say nature hates a vacuum
We slipped away through all the trash and traffic
To catch a glimpse gazing up at the stars
But all we saw were satellite advertisements
Reading, 'You're ours'
Drive with the throng, make the old young
Make the weak strong, improve our complexion
We slipped away through all the trash and traffic
To catch a glimpse gazing up at the stars
But all we saw were satellite advertisements
Reading, 'You're ours'
We get faster and louder
We get deeper and farther
With insatiable hunger
Give us all of it, all or nothing
All of it, all or nothing
