1.Fugue State
Lyricist:Carl Allan Newman
Strange but true
Divide the night, divide the night by two
And you'll see
You let the pieces fall and you will leave
In a fugue state, far behind in first place
Lady, I think that you are a new race
And left alone with this fate
Anyone in my place would leave you
What anyone in my place would do
You've earned the recent reputation
True
In your wake
You cross the avenues and stop to shake
Through your fugue state, passing time without trace
Lady, I think that you are a new kind
And your eyes fill in time, green and almost like mine
They're see-through, slightly darker and strange
Strange but true
Divide the night, divide the night by two
You were played
You left in what could only be portrayed
As a fugue state, left behind and made late
Lady, I think that you are a new race
And left alone with my fate
Anyone in my place would leave you
Anyone in my place would leave you
2.Breakin' the Law
Lyricist:Kenneth Downing, Robert Halford, Glenn Tipton
I can never place the name with the face
I can never place the name with the face
Don't touch me, don't touch me up
To the tee, by the numbers
It's not much but I'm going under
It's not much but I'm going under
It's not much but I'm going under
Liar, liar, everything's on fire
So I don't want to hear how you crossed the wires
Don't touch me, don't touch me up
Watch, I'll take it to the river
You'll come to, little Indian giver
You'll come to, little Indian giver
You'll come to, little Indian giver
So give us the keys now
We'll burn this Hall of Justice down
Around the ankles or just to the ground
Hats off to the city fathers
They're no longer a hundred feet tall
They're no longer, no longer
And we're just here
Another hundred feet stronger
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
3.All for Swinging You Around
Lyricist:Carl Allan Newman
Exploding international, the scenes, the sounds
And famously the feeling that you can't squeeze ground
While tearing off another page of loose change outrage
It's another perfect day until the night shows
Exploding international, the wind did howl
The sky above was thick with rings of smoke and clouds
And hanging on the bleeding end of conscious, who's this?
Was there anything I missed, as far as you know?
As far as you know?
Was it all for swinging you around?
All for swinging you around
Exploding international, the sun, the sights
The moments you are viewing through a beam of light
Propel you through the golden age we crash-land the first page
On a crumbling world stage, into the front rows
Into the front rows
And all for swinging you around
All for swinging you around
And off your feet all the love you found, spinning round
And off your feet all the love you found, spinning round
And off your feet all the love you found, spinning round
Spinning round, spinning round
We're twisting incognito with no time, cant talk
Cant tell if this is fantasy or culture shock
Or remnants of a golden age that's near mint unplayed
Or a welcome overstayed beneath the light show
Beneath the light show
All for swinging you around
All for swinging you around
All for swinging you around
All for swinging you around
All for swinging you around
All for swinging you around
4.Your Daddy Don't Know
Lyricist:J. Hernandez, J. Romano, R. Miranda, T. Garcia
Making your move
You come down as fast as lightning
Crossing the stage
I know you can feel the excitement
Shake it up
Turn it on
Shake it up
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Your daddy don't know
What your mama's gonna do tonight
Your daddy don't know
What your mama's gonna do tonight
She's breakin' your heart
You'd better be your own best friend
'Cause once you learn the steps
It's somethin' you'll never forget
So shake it up
Turn it on
Shake it up
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Your daddy don't know
What your mama's gonna do tonight
Your daddy don't know
What your mama's gonna do tonight
Your daddy don't know
What your mama's gonna do tonight
Your daddy don't know
What your mama's gonna do tonight
Your daddy don't know
What your mama's gonna do tonight
Your daddy don't know
What your mama's gonna do tonight
5.Ballad Of A Comeback Kid
Lyricist:Billy Stewart
Pray for content, settle for free rent
The tenements recall Rome
High five, look up, look alive
As the scions of history, guess another mystery wrong, wrong,
wrong
Recite your lines and I'll quote scriptures
Everything was fine until membership lost its privileges
Everyone in town, wanted to be around you
This went on for awhile until they finally found you
Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise
Crippled in someone else's shoes
Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand in line
You did, for the ballad of a comeback kid
Watch your step, as you step down from the podium
Returned from the war to a hero's welcome
What's more you just had to win?
Blazing new trails, waving goodbye to the audience
Held captive, the crowd was inactive, it made such perfect sense
Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise
Crippled in someone else's shoes
Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand in line
You did
But you won't, Kelly says, she could have
But you won't, Kelly says, she could have
Like a bat out of hell, time has come for
Like a bat out of hell, time has come for
Like a bat out of hell, time has come for you
Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise
Crippled in someone else's shoes
Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand in line
You did
Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise
Crippled in someone else's shoes
Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand in line
You did, for the ballad of a comeback kid
6.Star Bodies
Lyricist:Amber Dotson, Philip Eugene O'donnell
On a tear, under siege, under oath, Anna Lee
Won't you come strap yourself to my side?
With our grill in disguise, we've got more lives than I
Ever dreamed you could own at one time
There's a shake with the shock and a gift off with them
They carry the dust of the failing wisdom
For you there's not any warning, for you there's not any warning
And love is 5 in the morning, for you there's not any warning
On a tear cautiously, we advance Anna Lee
Won't you come pass the torch, bring your hands?
Yes and no, there's no right but we have no better light
To see through to our star bodies go
There's a shake with the shock and a gift off with them
They carry the dust of the failing wisdom
For you there's not any warning, for you there's not any warning
And love is 5 in the morning, for you there's not any warning
Now take me to where your sister lives
Take me to where your sister lives
Take me to where your sister lives
Take me to where your sister lives
On a tear far from home, by a thread Anna Lee
What's been said has to stay between us
Call me over, I trust, we lay here 'till we must
Make our break to our star bodies go
There's a shake with the shock and a gift off with them
They carry the dust of the failing wisdom
For you there's not any warning, for you there's not any warning
And love is 5 in the morning, for you there's not any warning
'Till we skip through the towns to the bright sweet past on
And bury the dust of the failing wisdom
For you there's not any warning, for you there's not any warning
And love is 5 in the morning, for you there's not any warning
Now take me to where your sister lives
Take me to where your sister lives
7.Mystery Hours
Always the true one, calm, selective
Stakin' a claim among the young defectives
Far off, under the nighttime, baby
Crawl into the wave
Got to be cool now, unprotected
You come around, every day to collect me
Far off, into the nighttime, baby
Crawl into the wave
Come on, give it to me
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
But officers, the rumblin'
The sound of the collective crumblin'
Around, to the ground
Surrender the town
I call out the numbers
The rumble of collected thunder today, hey
The wages are down
Come on, give it to me
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Mystery hours
Mystery hours
Mystery hours
Mystery hours
But officers, the rumblin'
The sound of the collective crumblin'
Around, to the ground
Surrender the town
I call out the numbers
The rumble of collected thunder today, hey
The wages are down
Come on, give it to me
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
8.Centre for Holy Wars
Such dream-like view from the ceiling
Where every feeling's part of the fall
Kneeling out on the front lawn
Rise to occasions, grass stains and all
Exactly where we are
At the centre for holy wars
Hope it never comes down again
Floating in the air
With the stars of holy wars
Hope it never comes down again
Nearly but never arrested
But oh, Contessa, asleep in the stall
Still, you somehow have bested
The other contestants, grass stains and all
Exactly where we are
At the centre for holy wars
Hope it never comes down again
Floating in the air
With the stars of holy wars
Hope it never comes down again
Exactly where we are
At the centre for holy wars
Hope it never comes down again
Floating in the air
With the stars of holy wars
Hope it never comes down again
Hope grows greener than grass stains
Hope grows greener than grass stains
Hope grows greener than grass stains

9.The Fake Headlines
I wrote the news today in a tent outside the midway rides
And as my money flew, singin' to their pockets
You could only know your shame, knowin' what the good ones do
And when you see the bruises on my legs from kickin' pills yeah
Then you see how recklessly the pages are filled
Make headlines believe them come back
Make headlines believe them come back
Want to be upside down, maybe thrown from side to side
Want to fall from the clouds, sailing like a ship at sea
Want to think out so loud that the fashion police break me
And when you see the bruises on my legs from kickin' pills yeah
Then you see how recklessly the pages are filled
Make headlines believe them come back
Make headlines believe them come back
Make headlines believe them come back
You try, you try, you try believe me come back
I wrote the news today in a tent outside the midway rides
And as my money flew, singin' to their pockets, I
I filled the whole front page with the catchiest words I could
find
Believe me come back
Fake headlines believe them come back
Fake headlines believe them come back
Fake headlines believe them come back
10.Letter from an Occupant
Untold the eventual down falls
Just a bill from the restaurant
You told me I could order the moon, babe
Just as long as it's you what I want
What the last ten minutes have taught me
Bet the hand that your money is on
Where the hell I'd send these you bought me
You trade me away long gone
For the love of God you said
Got a letter from an occupant
The time that your enemy gives you
Good times are not the ones you want
I cried five rivers on the way here
Which one will you stay way on
The tune you'll be humming forever
All the the words are replaced and wrong
With a shower of yeahs and whatevers
You trade me away long gone
For the love of God you said
Got a letter from an occupant
Where've all sensations gone
Where've all sensations gone
Where've all sensations gone
Where've all sensations gone
For the love of God you said
Got a letter from an occupant
For the love of God you said
Got a letter from an occupant
For the love of God you said
Got a letter from an occupant
The song, the song, the song that's shaking me
The song, the song, the song that's shaking me
The song, the song, the song that's shaking me
The song, the song, the song that's shaking me
For the love of God you said
Got a letter from an occupant
For the love of God you said
Got a letter from an occupant
11.Graceland
Countdown to zero, to zero
I am listening through the walls
Not at all
What I thought I was missing
In my case there is something
In the will to escape life at last
As we ride into the sun
Safe we burst into flames
I don't know, I don't know
How you missed us
Rolling by, rolling by
Like the three ghosts of Christmas
In my life this will happen
To a boy every time
The perfect crime
Which as everybody knows pays just fine
So pay my way into Graceland
To Graceland
Pay my way into Graceland
We're even, we're even
Lights out and the first
Of your circuits is broken
Tell the post, good to go
Set it, give into motion
In my life this will happen
To a boy every time
The perfect crime
Which everybody knows pays just fine
So pay my way into Graceland
To Graceland
Pay my way into Graceland
We're even, we're even
So pay my way into Graceland
To Graceland
Pay my way into Graceland
We're even, we're even
