Lyrics for
songs that aren't included in the official CD insert are figured

There maybe a difference of opinion on what is being sung.

Tears Roll Down (Laid So Low)
Chewed the bone down too low
Got fed on tea and sympathy
Blew the sail like the wind
I wish you were my enemy
I was humble for you
What a fool I've been to have
Laid so low for so long
Into that void of silence
Where we cry without sound
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down
And where your mother's violence
Sends your soul underground
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down
Drew the blade way too slow
Was shackled by your honesty
Made a mess, I guess, I should
have known
That life was lust and liberty
Not a chance mutation or the last
temptation
Laid so low for so long, so low
Into that void of silence
Where we cry without sound
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down
And where your mother's violence
Sends you soul underground
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down
It's no ordinary mind
That can read between the lines
And can say which way the fates
are fating
When you're skating on thin ice
Crocodiles in paradise
Just below your feet they lie in
waiting
You don't have to take my side
But these arms are open wide
There is something in your eyes
still glowing
It's your husband, it's your wife
Your money, it's your life
It's that special kind of knowing
It happens all the time
I read your mind
Where dreams take second place
I'll invade your space
Your secrets will be mine
What's your sign?
There are way too many flies
On the queen of compromise
'Cos she'll never know the acts
she's selling
She could try me out for size
'Cos there's something on the rise
And it might just help reduce the
swelling
We won't need to publicise
I don't think that would be wise
So this something we must hide
So it can keep on growing
It's your husband, it's your wife
Your money, it's your life
It's that special kind of knowing
It happens all the time
I read your mind
Where dreams take second place
I'll invade your space
Your secrets will be mine
What's your sign?
It's so good to be alive
I can count from one to five
But I can't control the way things
are going
It's your husband it's your wife
Your money, it's your life
It's that special kind of knowing
Life, mama says
Is bloodletting go
If I care for nothing
Sun don't shine and the grass don't
grow
Bloodletting go
Society dictates
By rules and regulations
But when things are so tired
You see things in the wrong light
Soon there will be no light
If the sun don't shine
Life, mama says
Is bloodletting go
If I care for nothing
Sun don't shine and the grass don't
grow
Bloodletting go
If by chance we both forget
The passage of space and time between
Pick up the pieces cold and wet
And drive them before the light
to clean them
Good times, bad times
The pain will come and the pain
will go
If I care for nothing
The sun don't shine
If by chance we both forget
The passage of space and time between
Pick up the pieces cold and wet
And drive them before the light
to clean them
Good times, bad times
The pain will come and the pain
will go
If I care for nothing
Sun don't shine and the grass don't
grow
Bloodletting go
Baby your deal is surreal just like
lightning - streakin' on
Heaven still is a state of mind
- where did we go wrong?
What happen to those old convictions
Went up in smoke
Baby, while your back breaks slowly
By the skin of your teeth - you'll
be under their thumb
Moving from this state of friction
We all got stars in our eyes
But you know by now your one restriction
- is at the edge of the sky
Keep shining like a new star
Shining like a new star
Baby we better start
'Cause baby we're alive
New star
Shadows are still when the will
has no strength left to carry on
You're flat on you back with your
heart attack
Where the hell have you gone?
The pressure and pain, all the
fire and ice
When you're playing a game with
the rats and the mice
While your back breaks slowly
By the skin of your teeth - you'll
be under their thumb
New star
Shining like a new star
Baby we better start
'Cause baby we're alive
New star
New star
Shining like a new star
Baby we better start
'Cause baby we're alive
New star
Dreaming so clever in all kinds
of weather
Where did you mention that you
buried your treasure?
After the pleasure of givin' is
gone
You'll be as one under the same
sun
Shining like a new star
Shining like a new star
Shining like a new star
Shining like a new star
New star
Shining like a new star
Baby we better start
'Cause baby we're alive
New star
'Cause baby we're alive
Madness of Roland
We are sensual (sentient, saturnine?)
Low self esteem
Tremble in the way you walk away
(from
the way you operate)
Like a machine
Temperamental
You sometimes break down
We should try to all survive (isolate)
Close to the ground (courage to
the clown)
Why am I often in pain?
Why is my brain not like other
people’s brain?
I see you
I can see who you are
I can see you
I can see who you are
Can you see me?
See who I am
Do you know me?
Will you know what I like?
Do you understand?
(Hands raised to heaven)
(With a boy against the world)
Your Father was a preacher
You aren't the son of Hell
The son was always there though
(The
summer's almost over)
He was looking for someone (please
look at the scenery)
With whom to share his child abuse
(begin
to share those twilight years)
???? I got real ????
???? Since you're real ????
My career is so surreal (Can
we renegotiate part of the deal)
Why am I often in pain?
Why is my brain not like other
people’s brain?
I can see you
I can see who you are
Why won’t the train take the strain?
(Why
let the train take the strain)
How does the man in the moon know
my name?
I see you
I can see who you are
I can see you
I can see who you are
Can you see me
Can you see who I am?
Do you know me?
Will you know what I want?
Will you understand?
Is it suicide or illusion
Guess I kiss and tell, kiss and
tell
If you do decide at your leisure
They can weave their spell, weave
their spell
All of the angels - calling us
home
We leave tomorrow
We leave everything we own
And I will be sad as I'm leaving
And I say take my hand, take my
hand
We won't criticize others leaving
We will understand, understand
- yeah
All of the angels - calling us
home
We leave tomorrow
We leave everything we own - yeah,
yeah, yeah
All of the angels
Calling us home
We leave tomorrow
We leave everything we own, everything
we own, everything we own
Say goodbye to the world and it's
false conclusions
? is a
war
And one more illusion
Come alive with the songs
????
Leave the keys in the car
We won't go very far
If you realize they are with you
And they're here today, here today
With the secret prize they will
give you
It will be ok, be ok - yeah
(continue with chorus)
Took a long time to mend
Took a long time to make amends
Funny how the story goes
Strip a man bare and burn his clothes
Time is all I crave
It comes in waves
I will be here until I drown
Systems on overload
Goes to bed warm but wakes up cold
What a bloody cross to bare
Time on my hands but I don't care
Days are all the same
They wax and wane
I will be here until I drown
Time is all I crave
It comes in waves
I will be here until I drown
Days are all the same
They wax and wane
I will be here until I drown
Time is all I crave
It comes in waves
I will be here until I drown...
This is the best I could do...
War Of Attrition
Come and play, it's OK
Cast your eyes upon...(?)
Know your place
Show your face
Sleep won't help you none
You might say, it's a War of Attrition
War of Attrition
War of Attrition
War of Attrition
This your fate
No escape
I have learned to love (?)
I can wait
What's my name
What's your game
You have lied enough
Then you turn around and tell me
it's not war
War of Attrition
War of Attrition
War of Attrition
War of Attrition
(War of Attrition/War of Attrition/War of Attrition)
Time, a long slide (?)
War of Attrition (War of Attrition)
War of Attrition (repeat 11 times)
