1. THE CAPTAIN

Angels fall to the floor
Like they would if I was captain
"Silver children," She roared
"I'm not the son of God"

Somebody help me sing
Can anybody hear me?
Liars and lovers combine tonight
We're gonna make a scene

Somebody help me sing
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Somebody help me sing
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Help me be captain of
Our crippled disguises
I won't show what's underneath
It's time for surprises
I can't climb up your ladder
I can't ride your horse
I've swallowed half an hourglass
So now the landscape is swollen up

I gave birth to a fire
It's like his features where burning
I'm in control
I am the son of God

Somebody help me sing
Can anybody hear me?
Line up your soldiers one final time
We're gonna have a ball

Somebody help me sing
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Somebody help me sing
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Help me be captain of
Our crippled disguises
I won't show what's underneath
It's time for surprises
I can't climb up your ladder
I can't ride your horse
I've swallowed half an hourglass
So now the landscape is swollen up

Let's love death away
Let's love death away
Let's love death away
Let's love death away
Let's love death away
Let's love death away
Let's love death away
Let's love death away


2. THAT GOLDEN RULE

Son of Henry, I'm the first in line
To the throne, smell my mustard gas
I slash swords through your wooden spine
Well it cut my heart and it blew my head
We made love at the side of the road
Reflex, you better know this flows fast
This river is particularly sinister
Close your eyes and take my hand

I want to scream one last death medley
I am looking for a reason to secure a forward motion

Love that golden rule, that golden rule
Need that golden rule, that golden rule
Secrets are the truth, they are the truth
We need that silver rule, that silver rule

Face to face with the ball and chain
I'll poke my head up till its red
I tell my secrets and you took my pain
About a broken heart and I will do it again
Son of Henry, I'm the first in line
To the throne, smell my mustard gas
I slash swords through your wooden spine
Well it cut my heart and it blew my head

I want to scream one last death medley
I am looking for a reason to secure a forward motion

Love that golden rule that golden rule
Need that golden rule that golden rule
Secrets are the truth they are the truth
We need that silver rule that silver rule


3. BUBBLES (FT. JOSH HOMME)

Well how's your view of things today?
Got up young to fade away
The sinner sin but aren't aware
Our fables take us everywhere
I can't keep up with you
I can't keep up

I can't complete with history
We'll film it live but dub our tale
The mistery must stay inside
Look at our homes, look at our lives
In control of the morning
In control of the sea

You are creating all the bubbles at night
I'm chasing round trying to pop them all the time
We don't need to trust a single word they say
You are creating all the bubbles at play

There's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl, there's a Girl
And she's down by the river
In her own creepy world there's a girl, there's a girl
And she's down by the river
It's time to consider
That baby is a sinner
She'll wash away you sins (wash away your sins)
She'll wash away you sins (wash away your sins)
She'll wash away you sins and go home

I only once upset my kin
Accused him of a moral slip
Well he came back and claimed the change
I know his life's the same again
I can't ask him again
I should let it go

There's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl, there's a Girl
And she's down by the river
In her own creepy world there's a girl, there's a girl
And she's down by the river
It's time to consider
That baby is a sinner
She'll wash away you sins (wash away your sins)
She'll wash away you sins (wash away your sins)
She's face down the river


4. GOD & SATAN

I talk to God as much as I talk to Satan cos I want to hear Both sides.
Does that make me cynical?
There are no miracles and this is no miraculous life.

I savour hate as much as I crave love
Because I'm just a twisted guy.
Is this the pinnacle?
Is this the pinnacle?
The pinnacle of being alive?
Now I see the light.

Well I look up to God
But I see trouble
Cos this ain't a miracle.
I just want to take my chance to live through a miracle.
Aah
Aah

I know for certain that
Some one is watching
But is it from up or down?
I make you miserable
You stick with me although you know I'm gonna ruin your life

I talk to God as much as I talk to Satan cos I want to hear Both sides.
Does that make me cynical?
There are no miracles and this is no miraculous life.
We walk into the tide.

Well I look up to God but I see trouble cos this ain't no Miracle
I just want to take my chance to live through a miracle

When the seesaw snaps and splinters your hand, don't come Crying to me.
I'll only see your good side and believe its a miracle.
A miracle.

I slap the water and watch the fish dance to the ripples of Us.
We're just stubbor duds,
Blinking eyes encased in rust.

This ain't a miracle.
This ain't a miracle.
This ain't a miracle.
This ain't a miracle.
Aah
Aah


5. BORN ON A HORSE

I pronounce it "Aluminium",
'Cause there's an "i" next to the "u" and "n",
Now write it down slowly,
And read it out fast.

She's got eyes,
Preposterous eyes,
I've never had a lover who's my sister or my brother before.

I've been counting on the wrong things,
To make life feel alright,
You could be my acid queen,
Until the end of time,
'Cause you can have it all,
You're stuck in the middle,
Racing one and all,
I was born on a horse that's all.

I like to think I'm just a thoroughbred,
In all but name and with no horse's flesh,
We're galloping slowly,
Through this broken glass.

She's got hooves,
Preposterous hooves,
I've never had a lover who's my sister or my brother before.

I've been counting on the wrong things,
To make life feel alright,
You could be my acid queen,
Until the end of time,
'Cause you can have it all,
You're stuck in the middle,
Racing one and all,
I was born on a horse that's all.

'Cause you can have it all,
You're stuck in the middle,
Racing one and all,
I was born on a horse that's all.


6. MOUNTAINS

Took a bite out of a mountain range,
Thought my teeth would break the mountain did.
Lets go, I want to go all the way to the horizon.

I took a drink out of the ocean and,
I'm treading water there before I drown.
Lets dive, I want to dive to the bottom of the ocean.
I took a ride, I took a ride, I wouldn't go there without You.
Lets take a ride, we'll take a ride. I wouldn't leave here Without you.

I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can't take that away from Me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can't take that away from Me.

'Cause you tear us apart, with all the things you don't Like.
You can't understand that I won't leave 'til we're finished Here, and then you'll find out where it all went wrong.

I wrote a note to the jungle and it wrote me back that I was Never crowned king of the jungle, so there's and end to my Horizon.
I took a ride, I took a ride. I wouldn't go there without You.
Lets take a ride, we'll take a ride. I wouldn't leave here Without you.

I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can't take that away from Me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea.

'Cause you tear us apart, with all the things you don't Like.
You can't understand that I won't leave 'til we're finished Here, and then you'll find out where it all went wrong.

Nothing lasts forever, except you and me. (You are my Mountain, you are my sea)
Love will last forever, between you and me.(You are my Mountain, you are my sea)

I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can't take that away from Me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea.
I am a mountain, I am the sea


7. SHOCK SHOCK

Well you scratch and you scratch, 'til your face comes away
Replaced by a hole or a vortex, just waiting to play;
I commend your violence

Well i enter a key with my wrist sticking out
The soles of my feet worn down to a dusty mess
I'll stay numb to these accidents

Well you talk and you talk like you're trying to shock me
I don't even know what the fuck we're still arguing about;
Maintain my silence

You're a shame to your dad cause your killing his days
Irresponsible, like you've only yourself to blame;
Maintain your friendliness

Well you talk and you talk like you're trying to shock me
I don't even know what the fuck we're still arguing about;
Maintain my silence
You're wondering what, you're exhausted, exhausted
From using these lies; I'm sure you'll regress again
Maintain your silence

I've been crippled by shock, shocked again
I'll continue to doubt your violence, with kisses of hate That silence
I've been crippled by shock, shock shock shock shock shock


8. MANY OF HORROR

You say "I love you boy"
But I know you lie.
I trust you all the same
And I don't know why.

'Cause when my back is turned,
My bruises shine.
Our broken fairytale,
So hard to hide.

I still believe,
It's you and me
Till the end of time.

When we collide we come together,
If we don't, we'll always be apart.
I'll take a bruise i know you're worth it.
When you hit me, hit me hard.

Sitting in a wishing hole,
Hoping it stays right.
Feet cast in solid stone,
I got Gilligan's eyes.

I still believe,
It's you and me
Till the end of time.

When we collide we come together,
If we don't, we'll always be apart.
I'll take a bruise i know you're worth it.
When you hit me, hit me hard.

'Cause you said hello,
It's where the going get's hard,
Our future is far,
Many of horror
Our future's far,
Many of horror
Our future is far,
Many of horror

I still believe,
It's you and me
Till the end of time.

When we collide we come together,
If we don't we'll always be apart.
I'll take a bruise i know you're worth it.
When you hit me, hit me hard.


9. BOOOOOM. BLAST AND RUIN

I've had enough;
You burn the bridge,
I'll cut the boat in half,
Control.

You've said enough;
You keep the secrets,
I know you'll never spill,
So,

Booooom, blast and ruined girl,
Causes distractions;
You're rooted in hell.

I can't surprise you girl,
Truth is in motion,
You cover it well,
But you're praying for some action
So you won't realise,
You used to be wrong,
I used to be right

I flick your switch
I wake up and i'm covered
In sweat and tears,
Soaked.

I swallow truths
We fit like ice cream
On an open wound
It soothes.

Sing like cathedrals girl,
Into the ocean
We rise like the sign.

I can't surprise you girl,
Truth is in motion,
You cover it well,
But you're praying for some action
So you won't realise,
You used to be wrong,
I used to be right

Booooom blast and ruined girl
Causes distraction;
You're rooted in hell.

I can't surprise you girl,
Truth is in motion,
You cover it well,
But you're praying for some action
So you won't realise,
You used to be wrong,
I used to be right
You used to be wrong,
I used to be right


10. CLOUD OF STINK

Dance if you wanna dance, if you wanna sweat
Sweat if you wanna smell, go do it alone
Fuck if you wanna fuck, if you wanna cum
Sleep if you wanna sleep, talk more in the morn'

Look up to the sky, is it still good to feel alive?
Well I can dance on top of a hurricane

This combination will make it's way round
Congratulations on marrying this clown

Swing if you wanna swing, hanging on a rope
Burn if you wanna burn, do it on your own
Cry if you wanna cry, acknowledge your heart
Wish if you wanna wish, the only way is up

Blame it on the world, visit them one and all
You have to comprehend what your heart says

This combination will make it's way round
Congratulations on marrying this clown

There's a black mould on my frazzled lungs, it whistles
My throat is gone, I'm still holding on
But I don't have long, no I don't have long
'Cause it goes on and on and on and on and on and on
It whistles, let go, let go
'Cause it goes on and on and on and on and on and on
It whistles, let go, let go

Dance if you wanna dance, if you wanna sweat
Sweat if you wanna smell, go do it alone
Fuck if you wanna fuck, if you wanna cum
Sleep if you wanna sleep, talk more in the morn'


11. KNOW YOU QUARRY

When I was young, I first encountered my crippled lungs;
I felt them burn, and cursed them ever since.
I was turning blue, in a match right in front of you,
And i slithered to the floor, hope I score some more.

I won't go where the sun doesn't shine
Go crazy in the evening if we sail up right(?).
Love is a shadow, in the brightness it dies;

Because tonight,
We raise the sun, and we shine it over everyone.
And if we won a crash oh hush(?),
Our lips should kiss each other so;
I just want to feel your body,
I want you to know your quarry.

You can see the world looking down from a different Universe,
Can we save every single one of them, the only half I've Hands(?)
My father cradled us; we're bright blue and we're covered in Blood,
We staggered through the door, trouble's taken score.

I won't go where the sun doesn't shine
Go crazy in the evening if we sail up right(?).
Love is a shadow, in the brightness it dies;

Because tonight,
We raise the sun, and we shine it over everyone.
And if we won a crash oh hush(?),
Our lips should kiss each other so;
I just want to feel your body,
I want you to know your quarry.

I just want to, feel your body; I want you to, know your Quarry.
I just want to, feel your body; I want you to, know your Quarry.


12. WHORSES

Who's the hippy now?
I cut it off to make you proud,
Abuse my limbs until the sun goes down
I don't want to be alone again.
Got Jesus' Autograph,
No handshake or pat on the ass
His saving grace was talking fast
I don't want to be bored again
Am I ready to take that chance,
Put my faith in someone else?

Let's use this dynamite,
We're only making noises

I'll make the brightness yours
So we can deny who we are,
I Love you but not today
The darkness fell like a shout.
Am i ready to take that chance,
Put my faith in someone else?

Together we stand,
We're at the bottom of the cove
It looked like rain but, it felt like snow
Because wherever we stand, we're at the bottom of the hole,
We'll dig our way out, but we'll still say no.

The wound is king and how,
His whorses turn they make him proud
His vision's clipped like wings and crowns
Lets use this photograph
He's never had the chance to believe in something else.

Let's use this dynamite, we're only making noises
We want to affect a change with voice and electrical noises

Together we stand,
We're at the bottom of the cove
It looked like rain but, it felt like snow
Because wherever we stand, we're at the bottom of the hole,
We'll dig our way out, but we'll still say no

Darkness fell like a shout;
The darkness fell like a shout;
Darkness fell like the shout;

We want to affect a change, with voice and electrical noises

Wherever we crash, we're gonna blame it on the old
Unique to the touch, and crippled to the bone
However we stand they'll be swinging from the ropes
Unfinished and young or unhappy and old
