1. ANIMAL ARMY

Tyrannosaurus marches before us
Lions laugh at the smell of a gun
Ride on the back of an elephant's shoulders
Tell all your friends you're an angel
Animals dance along, animals.

Tyrannosaurus marching towards us
Lions a mass coming out of the grass
Ride on the back of an elephant's shoulders
Tell all your friends your an angel
An angel
An angel

Leopards dancing, in my paradise
Animal armies, in my...

Tyrannosaurus marching towards us
Lions a mass coming out of the grass
Ride on the back of an elephant's shoulders
Tell all your friends your an angel
An angel
An angel

Leopards dancing, (leopards dancing), in my paradise
Tigers dancing, (tigers dancing), in my paradise
Chrome and candy, (chrome and candy), in my paradise
Animal armies, (animal armies), in my...

Leopards dancing, (leopards dancing), in my, (in my), paradise, (paradise)
Tigers dancing, (tigers dancing), in my, (in my), paradise, (paradise)
Solar planets, (solar planets), in my, (in my), paradise?(paradise)
Animal armies, (animal armies), in my, (in my)...

Paradise... Paradise.. (Paradise)


2. SPACEMAN

Spaceman I always wanted you to go
Into space man (intergalactic Christ)
Spaceman I always wanted you to go
Into space man (intergalactic Christ)

Pungent smells they consummate my home
Beyond the black horizon
Trying to take control
See my girl she shivers in her bones
The sun and zenith rising
Trying to take us all

There's a fire between us
So where is your God
There's a fire between us
I can't get off the carousel
I can't get off the carousel
I can't get off the carousel
I can't get off this world

The sickening taste
Homophobic jokes
Images of fascist votes
Beam me up 'cause I can't breathe

Spaceman I always wanted you to go
Into space man

It's time to terminate the great wide world
Morbid fascinations television takes control
Decimation different races fall
Electronic information tampers with your soul

There's a fire between us
So where is your God
There's a fire between us
I can't get off the carousel
I can't get off the carousel
I can't get off the carousel
I can't fall off this world

The sickening taste
Homophobic jokes
Images of fascist votes
Beam me up 'cause I can't breathe

Spaceman I always wanted you to go
Into space man

Babylon Zoo, Babylon Zoo, Babylon Zoo, Babylon Zoo,
Babylon Zoo, Babylon Zoo, Babylon Zoo...

Spaceman I always wanted you to go
Into space man (intergalactic Christ)
Spaceman I always wanted you to go
Into space man (intergalactic Christ)

Spaceman, Spaceman, Spaceman, Spaceman
Spaceman, Spaceman, Spaceman, Spaceman,
Spaceman... Spaceman...
Space... Spaceman


3. ZODIAC SIGN

If there's a God,
He's got a road
Leading to his house.

The animals walk alone,
The sign of the Zodiac.
I am always scared of being alone.

Sex is my drug and lifts my soul.
Got no loves, got no home,
Sick of being myself.

Problem child drives me wild,
The sign of the Zodiac.
I am always scared of being alone,
Everybody wants to be loved.

Exploitation of porno girls,
Life forces slowly slipping.

Sign, Zodiac sign, the sign.
Zodiac sign, the sign.
Zodiac, Zodiac sign.

If there's a God
He's got a road
Leading to his house

The animals walk alone,
The sign of the Zodiac.
I am always scared of being alone.
Sex is my drug and lifts my soul.

Exploitation of porno girls,
Life forces slowly slipping.

Sign, Zodiac sign, the sign.
Zodiac sign, the sign
Zodiac, Zodiac sign.

(We've got soul)
(We've got soul)

Sign, Zodiac Sign, the sign,
Zodiac, Zodiac, sign
Zodiac, Zodiac, sign (Zodiac)

Sign, Zodiac sign, the sign
Zodiac, Zodiac, sign
Zodiac, Zodiac, sign (Zodiac)

Zodiac, Zodiac, Zodiac, Zodiac
Zodiac, Zodiac, Zodiac, Zodiac,

4. PARIS GREEN

Everytime I breathe I think I might
Everytime I sleep I

Fashion dies with no respect
I never want to be like you
My poison colours never clash
With my shiny, shiny shoes, Oh!

Who will buy my old chanels,
Who will buy my fake furs,
I can't live without my slacks.
On the catwalk it's a gas, Oh!

Your bright colours they cloud my vision,
Designer shirts they call this fashion,
Insane robots parade in tandem.
Don't make me sick, let me see you.

Paris green, Paris green

Smile and say will you buy this,
It's a world exclusive.
To me the colours are the same
And it's driving me insane, Oh!

Who will buy my old chanels,
Who will buy my fake furs,
I can't live without my slacks.
On the catwalk it's a gas, Oh!

You're bright colours they cloud my vision
Designer shirts they call this fashion,
Insane robots parade in tandem
Don't make me sick, let me see you

Paris green, Paris green,
Paris green, Paris green.


5. CONFUSED ART

Red light, green light, (lal ak peli ak)
Red light, green light, (lal ak peli ak)
Red light, green light, (lal ak peli ak)
Red light, green light, (lal ak peli ak)

Red light, green light, (lal ak peli ak)
Red light, green light, (lal ak peli ak)
Red light, green light, (lal ak peli ak)
Red light, green light

Passion is dead
Computer sex
We capture fire
Karma has died

Violence kills, the innocent
Of modern youth a common truth
Passion dies, Silent souls
Governments they take control

Extra terrestrial behaviour
In my own backyard
The television always lies
The camera blinds my eyes

A.R.T.
Confused A.R.T.
Confused A.R.T.
Confused art
Confused art

Red light, green light
Red light, green light
Red light, green light
Red light, green light

Fashion's a crime
Money's the line
Try and forget
Karma is dead

Politicians always lie
They cover truths to rule our lives
Passion dies
Silent souls
Government they take control

Extra terrestrial behaviour
In my own backyard
The television always lies
The camera blinds my eyes

A.R.T.
Confused A.R.T.
Confused A.R.T.
Confused A.R.T.
Confused

A. (confused), R. (confused), T. (confused), Confused(confused)
A. (confused), R. (confused), T. (confused), Confused(confused)

A.R.T. Confused

6. CAFFEINE

Home
What is home?
What is home?

Pack your possessions and leave us alone
Forget your colour and creed
Your sexuality embarrassed us all
Take off your Asian tag and hit the road

The word is why I need a God
I need a God to impress
Get off my soul
So many nerds have we found them all

C-a-f-f-e-i-n-e
Caffeine
Caffeine
I don't want to find a new home
Caffeine
Caffeine
C-a-f-f-e-i-n-e
Caffeine
Caffeine

They would prefer it if you lived off drugs
It's not a curable disease
Your sexuality confounded their world
Take off your Asian tag and hit the road
The word is why I need a God
I need a God to impress
Get off my soul
So many nerds have we found them all

C-a-f-f-e-i-n-e
Caffeine
Caffeine
I don't want to find a new home
Caffeine
Caffeine
C-a-f-f-e-i-n-e
Caffeine
Caffeine

What is a home,
What is a home,
Where is a home
What is home

I don't know why I need a God
I need a God to impress
Confused my soul
So many words do we need them all

C-a-f-f-e-i-n-e
Caffeine
Caffeine
I don't want to find a new home
Caffeine
Caffeine
C-a-f-f-e-i-n-e
Caffeine

I think I wanna find a new home

7. THE BOY WITH THE X-RAY EYES

An invitation to dance on the floor
Entertainment was low in my home
Mother she sighs: what is love?
Is it something inside my brain
Love, oh it's driving us all insane
Oh.... Oh...

The Boy with the X-Ray Eyes
It's not a surprise
Nothing really matters to him
The Boy with the X-Ray Eyes
It's not a surprise
Nothing really matters to him

Spies looking into my window I watch
Spies they're watching us tonight

The Boy with the X-Ray Eyes
It's not a surprise
Nothing really matters to him
The Boy with the X-Ray Eyes
It's not a surprise

Spies looking into my window I watch
Spies they never can deny

The Boy with the X-Ray Eyes
It's not a surprise
Nothing really matters to him
The Boy with the X-Ray Eyes
It's not a surprise

I see through your lies with my bionic eyes
I see through your mind with my bionic, bionic
I see through your lies with my bionic eyes
Bionic, bionic, bionic eyes.


8. DON'T FEED THE ANIMALS

Don't feed the animals (Repeat through whole of song)


9. FIRE GUIDED LIGHT

There's something in the sky
I think you're going to die
We're sitting on the edge
Of a coffee coloured crowd

Like strangers in the night
Dance from fire guided light
Hey, I think you're gonna die
Hey, I think we're gonna die

Don't give me crap
We're gonna change
We're gonna change (we're gonna change)
Don't give me crap
We're gonna change
We're gonna change

There's something in the sky
I think you're gonna die
We're sitting on the edge
Of a coffee coloured crowd

Like strangers in the night
(I believe you)
Dance with fire guided light
(I believe you)
Hey, I think we're gonna die
(I believe you)
Hey, i think you're gonna die
(I believe you)

Don't give me crap
We're gonna change
We're gonna change (we're gonna change)
Don't give me crap
We're gonna change
We're gonna change

There's something in my eye
I think I am gonna die

Like strangers in the night
(I believe you)
Dance with fire guided light
(I believe you)
Hey, I think you're gonna die
(I believe you)
Hey, I think we're gonna die
(I believe you)

Don't give me crap.
We're gonna change
We're gonna change (we're gonna change)
Don't give me crap
We're gonna change
We're gonna change (we're gonna change)
Don't give me crap
We're gonna change
We're gonna change
Don't give me crap
We're gonna change
We're gonna change


10. IS YOUR SOUL FOR SALE ?

All those simple songs we sang
And the Christmas we spent yesterday,
When we danced the night away.
All my make-up it ran,
And caused our love to fade away,
We fade away,
We fade away,
We fade away (we fade away)
We fade away (fade away)

Oh London town is burning
And the mice and men are running
But nothing, oh nothing can tear us apart.
London town is burning
And the New York lights are laughing,
But nothing, oh nothing can tear us apart.

Is your soul for sale
Is your soul for sale

All those simple songs we sang,
Are the same songs we sang yesterday.
When we danced the night away,
All my make-up it ran,
And caused our love to fade away,
We fade away,
We fade away,
We fade away (we fade away)
We fade away (fade away)

Is your soul for sale
Is your soul for sale

Painters paint to spite us
Love isn't love
When lies divide us

London town is burning
And the men and mice are running
But nothing, oh nothing can tear us apart
London town is burning
And the New York lights are laughing,
But nothing oh nothing can tear us apart

London town is burning
And the men and mice are running
But nothing, oh nothing can tear us apart
London town is burning
And the New York lights are laughing
But nothing, oh nothing can tear us apart.


11. I'M CRACKING UP I NEED A PILL

I am cracking up I need a pill
I am cracking up I need a pill

I am cracking up I need a pill
I am cracking up I need a pill
I am cracking up I need a pill
I am cracking up I need a pill

I sometimes starve myself of sleep
It's my paranoid mind
Strange looking demons laugh at me
All my traumas start to infiltrate my mind

I find it very hard to breath
In my hypochondriac world
Always poke the fun out of me
So confused with his sexuality

We've got information
Government sweat in trepidation
Stigmatise us all
Concealed information
Police crimes on Blacks and Asians
Babylon's alone

I am cracking up I need a pill
I am cracking up I need a pill

The animals are fast asleep
Always check if they can breath
Strange looking people laugh at me
All their traumas start to infiltrate my mind

We've got information
Government sweat in trepidation
Stigmatise us all
Concealed information
Police crimes on Blacks and Asians
Babylon's alone

People want an easy live.
People want, hmmm
People want, hmmm, hmmm!
