1. bigthing

get it up get it out get it in time
hang it up hanging out hanging on a big thing
move it in move it out move up the line
bang it up bang it out banging on a big thing

brothers and sisters let me hear it
get it up get it on get it in time
give me the green light and watch me move it
move it up move it out move up the line
this is temptation power rotation
give me the friction and watch me make it
make it up making out making it slide

so glad you came along
this time you won't be wrong
you love to turn it on
and you'renot the only one

Brothers and sisters we can take it
shake it up shake it out shake it all the time
give me the suction we can stick it
lick it up suck it up stick it outside
this is temptation (station)
power rotation (to station)
give me the playlist and watch me eat it
eat it up beat it up beat it in time

so glad you came along
this time you won't be wrong
you love to turn it on
and you'renot the only one

get it up get it out get it in time
hang it up hanging out hanging on a big thing
move it in move it out move up the line
bang it up bang it out banging on a big thing

get it up get it out get it in time
hang it up hanging out hanging on a big thing
move it in move it out move up the line
bang it up bang it out banging on a big thing

2. i don't want your love

I don't mind if you're keeping someone else behind
I don't care 'cause you've got something I can share

Hey, take a chance, even if it's only
only while we're dancing in the
light of your second sight because
when you understand me
you might feel good around me now.

CHORUS
I don't want your love to bring me down
I don't want your love so turn it around

I won't turn you out if you've got someone else
someone else you care about
because you must realise
my obsessive fascination is in your imagination

CHORUS

Your rhythym is the power to move me
It's something you control completely
I don't want your love
I don't want your love

I like noise 'cause I like waking up the house
I cannot sit down. I can't shut my mouth
But when you understand me,
you might feel good around me

CHORUS

Your rhythym is the power to move me
It's something you control completely
I don't want your love
I don't want your love

3. all she wants is

All she wants is
All she wants is
All she wants is

Spend your money on the corner now
Know you've gotta save some
for the shoeshine boys
You've been pulling 'em
by the hand inside
Oh...collecting all your toys
If you need a lead heaven now,
just stick around--
You're going to be there
What do you dare?
What do you care?
What does your heart say now?

All she wants is
All she wants is
All she wants is

Divine intervention
couldn't keep the word
from leaking out
With your pleasure in suspension
Not to mention
what you hang it around
If you need a lead to heaven, yeah
A place to share
In every position
What do you dare?
What do you care?
What does your heart say now?

All she wants is
All she wants is
All she wants is

More...

All she wants is (repeat to fade)

4. too late marlene

Waking out of nowhere
And I let you in
Til my imagination went for a spin
I seen you every night
Been making out since then
And still I wonder why everybody's saying
That ice is thin.

And I think I know you
Just a little bit by nowA
And I think I can show you
You see baby, I don't want to fight about it

Send down your rain
Then who's to blame
And you'll understand
because its' much too late to change

Awaken to this hunger
And then watch my heat
Grow paler than the moonlight
That you made me eat
And if we run our lives
Along a one way street
We'll always wonder why everytime
It still tastes just as sweet

Send down your rain
Then who's to blame
You'll understand
Because it's much too late to change
I will explain
We're to much the same
No I won't leave
Because it's just too late Marlene

5. drug

Take me every morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay
up all night

Before you slip into the white
there's something i want you to know
in all your stretch of consciousness
you've still got a long way to go
Some make you spin,
Some make you sweat,
it's only here for you to choose
Some like it hot,
But I like it wet, so tell me...
what have we got to lose now?

Take me every morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay
up all night

(a hit, a hit)
A hit to fit reality
It's just a state of mind
and you, and it, it's more than just
and that's what you've got to find
we'll make you spin,
we'll make you sweat
all you have to do is choose me
and if you would try
and alternative high
then tell me, what have we got to lose now?

Take me every morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay
up all night

Take me every morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay
up all night

6. do you believe in shame

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in shame?
And if love can conquer all
then why do we only feel the pain?

I heard you speak my name
heard you singing The Stones
maybe heard you laughing in a line of static
on my telephone

So why your eyelids are closed,
inside a case of rust
And did you have to change
all your poets fire into frozen dust

I've tried to justify it to learn from your mistake
But where's the stupid lie that has to make it's point
with such a pointless waste

Come out

Do you believe in shame?
Do you believe in love?
And if they taste the same
would you love again or abandon both?

I don't think I ever can
belive my friend has gone
Keep saying it's alright I'm going to bring you back
but I know I'm wrong

There's nothing I can say
there's nothing left to do
It's just that lately I feel so damn lonely
when I think of you

And it may seem selfish now
but I'll hold on to the memory
Until all this fear is washed away
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in life?
'Cos I believe a little part of you inside of me
will never die...

7. palomino

She lays on the wall
watching the strangers drift away
mid-day's ore--thick
with the sun of Arabia

she surrenders her voices
they gather, on the wind
talkin, chanting, breathing
into her body...yesterday

Awakened beside
the scent of burnt sugar--on the skin
painting eyes--thick
with the color she brings in
oh, and sure and strong
when the lightning tumbles down
don't you frown
everything will be
in time for this evening

if there's secrets
she has to be pardoned to
every one of them
if there's heaven
she gets to the heart

and you'll know...
why she says
when I run out of blue
help me rise instead
then I will run to you
why she says
when I run out of blue
give me rain instead
now let me run... (let me run)

--synthwash/piano interlude--

if there's secrets
she has to be pardoned to
every one of them
if there's heaven
she gets to the heart

and you'll know...
why she says
when I run out of blue
help me rise instead
then I will run to you
why she says
when I run out of blue
give me rain instead
now let me run... (let me run)

Hey-hey....
why she says
when I run out of blue
help me rise instead
then I will run to you
why she says
when I run out of blue
give me rain instead
then I will run to you

(repeat to fade)

9. land

Baby, I'm really sorry
to break your dream
when it's so early
Headlights
on the windowpane
they're getting lost
in the light of day

tomorrow is today
and soon my ship will sail

Away from here
to walk a howling sealane
stay for me
your love is life
for love is land

Baby, just hear my story
before I leave
before we write the end
Standing, across the ocean stream
I'll need to know
I'll need your country then

tomorrow and today
you keep my landfall safe

away from here (away from here)
to walk a howling sealane (away from you)
stay for me (stay for me)
I need your love to land
away from here (away from here)
to walk a howling sealane (away from you)
stay for me (stay for me)
your love is life, for love is land

away from here (away from here)
to walk a howling sealane (away from you)
stay for me (stay for me)
I need your love to land
away from here (away from here)
to walk a howling sealane (away from you)
stay for me (stay for me)
your love is life, for love is land

love is land
love is land
love is land

11. the edge of america

Walk the edge of America
A concrete beach to scrape my hand
inside the subway stinking fear and shame
becomes the violent breath

Vigilantes out on dawn patrol
but now there's nothing left to hide
I'm just a number on the metal fence
which marks the great divide

Hey boy
give your dreams a rest
if you're tired of searching
this is where it ends
there's nothing left to lose
nothing to protest
learn to love your anger now
anger here is all you possess
welcome to the age

Below the towers of the citadel
Seems someone overlooked the cost
Forgotten soldier of paradise
now paradise is lost

Recognition never realized
Salvation lost among the crowd
So tell me beside this sterile sea
where is your nation now?

And we say
Hey boy
give your dreams a rest
if you're tired of searching
this is where it ends
there's nothing left to lose
nothing to protest
learn to love your anger now
anger here is all you possess
welcome to the edge

13. drug, it's just a state of mind

Take me every morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay
up all night

Before you slip into the white
there's something i want you to know
in all your stretch of consciousness
you've still got a long way to go
Some make you spin,
Some make you sweat,
it's only here for you to choose
Some like it hot,
But I like it wet, so tell me...
what have we got to lose now?

Take me every morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay
up all night

(a hit, a hit)
A hit to fit reality
It's just a state of mind
and you, and it, it's more than just
and that's what you've got to find
we'll make you spin,
we'll make you sweat
all you have to do is choose me
and if you would try
and alternative high
then tell me, what have we got to lose now?

Take me every morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay
up all night

Take me every morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay
up all night
