The water just pours And I'm laughing at the sky 'cause the heatwave died Open up your doors I'm coming in, I'm coming in There's nowhere to hide And I see now that you found me out And all the lies Have gone and drown themselves Lock me up, let me out Fill my cup, drink it down Sharpen the blade, ease the blow You're free when the water falls down The days are the same But there's a schedule change headed right your way Drop your cane You're above ground, above ground You can't write words with these letters And the numbers ain't got no formulas Lock me up, let me out Fill my cup, drink it down Sharpen the blade, ease the blow You're free when the water falls down I feel my heart beat, beat, beat Right up through the concrete And all of the cars are shining colors Everyone's in the rain, they got no passengers Lock me up, let me out Fill my cup, drink it down Sharpen the blade, ease the blow You're free when, you're free when Give me a ride, make me walk Drop me down, lift me up We're casting stones, we're sheltering homes And free when the water falls down

I need some caffeine in my coffee And whiskey for mixing up in my coke I got problems, too many to name 'em I'm high on something But I'm low on some hope I'm saying hello to my shadow The only one that's walking here by my side Just reflecting Too much reflecting can shine the light on you Until you damn near go blind I'm trying to believe in you But you turn and refuse Like you wanna know How low can we go, how low can we go? How low can we go, how low can we go? Ready set go I need some caffeine in my coffee And whiskey for mixing up in my coke I got problems, to big to solve 'em I need someone, I can't do it alone I'm trying to believe in you But you turn and refuse Like you wanna know How low can we go, how low can we go? How low can we go, how low can we go? Ready set go

Blood Red 02:29
You can't tear us apart bleeding blood red You can't tear us apart bleeding blood red Shaken by the break of day When you leave night Walking on a razor blade The future and past die I'm done there's nothing left to prove So long I fought for you The sky, the earth, the sun and moon I slip down deep into You can't tear us apart bleeding blood red You can't tear us apart bleeding blood red Battling to get your way Here for flesh and bone But the power and the riches fade A material world will decompose We're out here laughing in the streets A tidal wave of noise You clench your fists and grind your teeth And fire at gunpoint But I've learned to die before my body's left behind It ain't hard to fly, throw yourself into the sky You can't tear us apart bleeding blood red You can't tear us apart bleeding blood red You can't tear us apart bleeding blood red You can't tear us apart bleeding blood red

The Arctic 04:22
Building boats on the river See them ship 'em off to Asia I feel that cold my fingers When you left you said "I can't take these winters..." Early morning I'll pick you up Frozen water's gonna wake you up We sail out far past everything It's the only place I can't hear the voices ring Then the wind picks up And the waves get rough No matter where you go I see the distant light In the arctic night No matter where you go Snow keeps falling we're covered up Kept the salt air in your lungs Your post cards and heat waves They never make it here Gone like smoke up a fireplace They never make it here Gone like smoke up a fireplace

I see you, my friend Fighting your way up from the bottom They're pulling at your limbs Steady yourself on a floor that's rotten And we ain't got all day To taste your blood and see what you're made of I see you, my friend Dancing with a ghost in a house that's haunted And you ain't leaving Until we've had all that we wanted And everyone from town Is looking in the windows trying to make sense of the sounds Everybody jumps in at the same time Everybody jumps in at the same time Looking for the rush of the very first bite Everybody jumps in at the same time Everybody jumps in at the same time Everybody jumps in at the same time The devil's got a fire that'll burn you alive Everybody jumps in at the same time And I've been living here for a thousand years With a former life that's filled with bleeding tears So come on, my friend Step into this new dimension Where we're always thirsty And the days are filled with endless darkness Go on, take your turn When it hits your lips it's a taste of sex you'll never forget Everybody jumps in at the same time Everybody jumps in at the same time Looking for the rush of the very first bite Everybody jumps in at the same time Everybody jumps in at the same time Everybody jumps in at the same time The devil's got a fire that'll burn you alive Everybody jumps in at the same time

All the lights go out automatically And the curious kids faking they're asleep And you leave your house looking like a freak Flash a smile full of crooked teeth But it's almost quiet now It's almost quiet now, quiet now It happens automatically And all the zombies on the train Ask your number and name Strage fruit with a new taste Are we going back to your place? 'Cause it's almost quiet now It's almost quiet now, quiet now Walk through crowded perfume rooms With beautiful fools At this hour we get confused, don't know what we do It happens to you automatically And it's almost quiet now It's almost quiet now...
