ALBUM: Elsewhere for 8 Minutes SONG: Anarchitect Wait for the morning's first interruption Wait for an exchange Wait for the overall feeling But the overall feeling in here is arranged Gentlemen There's no space outward The only way is upward These primitive rituals I put myself through These things will never change Get in the car Get to the point Get to the finish line Who needs friends when you can win? Gentlemen There's no space outward The only way is upward Towards the heavens Towards the sky Towards the stars Area, volume, contents reach All of these things will only deceive Forging forward tunnel back, to back Gentlemen Please listen Please There's no space outward The only way is upward Towards the heavens Towards the sky Towards the stars SONG: Pinstripe There is no need to throw your arms around And there is no need to ask unless there is some doubt If you are comfortable with two feet on the ground You don't need wings now Have you set down your course or are you out of control, my dear? Are you accidentally part of some involuntary movement here? We thought we knew it so well we could do it with our arms tied behind our backs And our eyes shut tight I thought I knew it so well I could stop So I stopped and we can't start again Stand under the hole in your roof Let the rain come in and fall down on your head It's a simple joy you can bring upon yourself It's a simple something new, something else Trees stand in a perfect line Trees stand at attention Not much time has passed But already she likes concrete better than grass And I don't think we'll last So I stare up at the sky and it hurts my eyes Maybe I'll go blind Maybe all I'll see is, all I'll see is sunshine Sunshine Just trying to sound I'm not trying to sound I don't wanna sound like this You're the last day of april every year You're grey, feeling for something anything, you can't have Oversize, owning the road Pulled by a current, tossed over in the wind You focus your sights and try To stare up at the sky And it hurts your eyes Maybe you'll go blind Or maybe all you'll see is, all you'll see is sunshine Sunshine Walk in a straight line You waste energy in the daytime You know exactly what you're doing, doing Sometimes SONG: Captain (Million Miles an Hour) I built an aeroplane It was just like the real ones that I saw when I was younger But it was too small for me To crawl inside the cockpit and fly away At a million miles an hour And it took me years Underneath the house we lived in I threw my head and my heart in the cockpit The sounds of the engines The voices from upstairs I only heard my crew Preparing me for take off Preparing me And it's just a model Built with plastic and with glue But every day I go down to the airport And I fly away from I fly away from you SONG: Paintbrushes Wrapped around Wrapped around yourself You've led your party to victory Now you don't want it Gagged and bound The voice there was before Travelling salesman cries out loud We walk there Walk there in bare feet Over smaller rocks then before over waterfalls Cracked and dry Cracked and dry and knowing Only the ground can hear us stepping Just slow down You will be safe in here for now Can't recall the last time you breathed out Or slept without a sound Yeah... Single light to see Enough to get what you need Learn to make the most of the least But there's something Paint colour on the wall Decorate your mood Make it good SONG: Prick Anchor yourself again Get your hooks in my side Identify who you're with Why you're there Everyone is your best friend Tell me again what you said I've been beating your door down for something But there's nothing left You look like you need some air Need some wide open space Need to stand up straight I had a speech prepared But now it's too late Tell me it all over again You've been calling out to someone But there's no one there There's no one there You can't sell yourself to me But you attach yourself to everything A gesture moves around the room Buying and selling you It leaves a stain in your head And lines on the back of your neck Tell me again what you said You've anchored yourself again And everyone is your best friend SONG: Glass Timing Somebody make my mind up for me Decisions will only put me to sleep And in my sleep more decisions come to me And I'll never be free I'll never be where I want to be you never forget But you'll never have it back You should have thought of that How can I think when everything's in front of me I've got so much in front of me How can I think when everything's in front of me I've got so much in front of me But everything i want is history Everything I want is history History It's just bad timing Somebody make my mind up for me Decisions will only put me to sleep And in my sleep she'll just smile at me And I'll never be I'll never be I'll never be where i want to be SONG: Soundczech I will listen to you But I'll only hear the good news I will hear you I will share your tunnel vision On one condition Wait with me Waiting is the worst Towards anything is better I want to be moving Untouchable There's nothing we can do or say But watch it move a little further away Further away Through those thick black frames I can tell you're paranoid And the paranoid must stick together Airtight isn't good enough Yesterday isn't soon enough Soon enough For you Waiting is the worst Worse than sleeping in a room full of boxes With no view of the full moon And all those things you took Turned out to be useless Watch them fade away This intersecting Where have you been? What have you been doing? Doing What have you been doing? I wouldn't leave it up to fate I'd keep it hidden in a box Under my bed Out of your sight Out of your hands Waiting Waiting is the worst Towards anything is better I want to be moving Be moving All those things you took Turned out to be useless Watch them fade away Watch them fade Watch them fade away This intersecting Where have you been? And what you have you been doing? What have you been doing? An intersection in the middle of nowhere I'll see you there SONG: Working Against Me I took my time And whatever else I could find I didn't care at the time I've got it all planned I'm gonna mark out my land I've drawn some lines in the sand I thought time would change things I thought that things would change I thought you thought I think you thought But everything is the same I try to stay between your world and mine But that's a crooked line And I don't wanna look at you And I don't wanna have to think I'll blame the captain and the crew 'cos they said it wouldn't sink They said it wouldn't sink My legs won't hold me up Your heart is pounding in my head My mouth seems to be working against me I don't wanna look at you And I don't wanna have to think I'll blame the captain and the crew 'cos they said it wouldn't sink They said it wouldn't sink My legs won't hold me up Your heart is pounding in my head My mouth seems to be My legs won't hold me up Your heart is pounding in my head My mouth seems to be working against me SONG: Strategy What's wrong? Nothing, nothing An unwelcome reception to the million dollar question A reflex reaction Right back at you It's your face, it's that same blank expression You can blame it on the weather Or blame it on tension but There's no rest from this paralysis Strategy It's all about strategy Not what you're telling me What you're telling me You eat, you sleep and you breathe And you tick off your list of personal needs At night for protection you hide under a sheet And we try to avoid confrontation But everything we do just gets lost in the translation And you're not helping yourself any Strategy It's all about strategy Not what you're telling me What you're telling me I've found that descriptions are useless Nothing but the combination of words and numbered pieces Just assume that there is good reason for everything So, what's wrong? It's nothing again Nothing's what you've got when everything leaves you thought That asking would get you somewhere Some fool you were Strategy It's all about strategy Not what you're telling me What you're telling me Memory You say it's my memory You say that my memory's bad Well i remembered that Didn't i? SONG: Roll Credit Down the hall it's the same Counting the footsteps Taking your deep breaths Such a suspicious calm A day is a day Home is home And everything Everything is as it seems Regardless of you and me Images linger on Even after it's gone Mirrors make you go on forever Inside these rooms nothing ever ends It can glow on your face Drive you insane If you want me to take all those things down Throw them away You never liked them anyway You've got your hammer out And you're hammering down The corners at last But you're laying claim Gathering everyone around So you can drive them Drive them away If you want me to gather everyone around Send them away You never liked them anyway A day is a day Home is home Everything SONG: Like Bankrobbers You've never been better But you've been acting a little strange You're like some terrorist Reading battle plans behind my back Know you'll be beside me At the frontline like the hopeless romantic You are You and I, like bankrobbers Couldn't think of something real to do Could you? Ran away to leave the circus You had to be outrageous and you had to be different You had to go and get yourself killed You had to kill me too You and I, like bankrobbers Caught off guard, doomed from the start You and I, like bankrobbers Only people so desperate can be so So frightened, so determined You're so determined It's frightening You and I, like bankrobbers We take what's not ours While we destroy the evidence We leave a trail of leads Leading us back Leading us You and I, like bankrobbers Caught off guard, doomed from the start Doomed from the start SONG: The Last Minute Just a simple change of scenery From 360 degrees Maybe it's all we need 6, 5, 4, 3 Welcome to the last minute And we've spent it on a sound byte A phrase, a well thought out line 12, 11, 10, 9 Carry it on your back Hold it before your eyes Breathe it in And then say goodbye You tore You tore off all the wrapping and you didn't read the card Tomorrow was a blessing and a gift Not a guarantee not a new car We left today breathing its last breath Somewhere back down the line This is the beginning of the end Of the beginning of the end Beginning of the end Carry it on your back Hold it before your eyes Breathe it in And then say goodbye Say goodbye We're getting warmer, we're getting closer Getting warmer, getting closer But you know Time will come And make a fool out of you and me Some other time could we? 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
