Lyrics


1. EMPIRE

Too much information
Well I said you're good for nothing
Come on to the back
I said your needles count for something
Guess I'd better sell you now
Guess I'd be around

Singing for your questions
But you've stolen all of my answers
Too much entertainment drove
and thats not all the colour
Tell me that you've seen a ghost
I'll tell you what to fear the most

Stop!
I said it's happening again!
We're all wasting away!
We're all wasting away!

Too much information
Well I said you're good for nothing
Stitch your part of counterfeit
I said your far out here
Taking at the roads
Where you're taken for the simple codes

Swimming with the fishes
While the serpent waves his tongue
With a belly full of splinters
Now you see that I'm the one
Tell me that you've seen a ghost
I'll tell you what to fear the most

Stop!
I said it's happening again!
We're all wasting away!
We're all wasting away!


2. SHOOT THE RUNNER

Shoot the runner
Shoot shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen

Shoot the runner
Shoot shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen

Dream
Dream again in your way
Always knew that you would
Loose yourself to the scene
Am I only a dream

Shoot the runner
Shoot shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen, Bitch

Bang
Bang away with my Chang
Always know that I can
Get your knee's on the floor
Absinth make you may whore

Shoot the runner
Shoot shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen

Shoot the runner
Shoot shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen, Bitch

Kings
Kings may come and then go
By this sword you must know
That all things will come and then pass
Live your days like the last


3. LAST TRIP (IN FLIGHT)

I don't sit alone cos I got you
Making tracks through these woods
I'm gonna get my blues
Just holding snacks
Dropping these tabs a hero comes

This is the last trip
Just wanna get you on your own (he's in flight)
I say this is the last trip
Just wanna get you on your own
It's a gas

Now I don't see no light
I don't taste no spit
Silent flash hear the bang
I'm gonna get my rush (this feeling)
No going back (this feeling)
Holding hands (this feeling)
With you (this feeling)
The circus comes (this feelig)

This feeling (x5)

This is the last trip
Just wanna get you on your own (he's in flight)
This is the last trip
Just wanna get you on your own (he's in flight)

This feeling (x8)


4. ME PLUS ONE

Too messed up I should have followed you
where did you get that smile and that fine hair
I get my kicks from your walk in
I should have gone I should have been there

You come to take me away
Like a little white rabbit from yesterday
Little things said, said and done
I should have shot myself on the run

I wanna love, love, love
I wanna love, love, love right now
I wanna love, love, love
I wanna love, love, love right noe
So come on

She's come back from the winter
Looking straight into my eyes
Now I'm standing like a lunatic
I bet you feel, I bet you taste good

You come to take me away
Like a little white rabbit from yesterday
Little things said, said and done
I should have shot myself on the run

I wanna love, love, love
I wanna love, love, love right now
I wanna love, love, love
I wanna love, love, love right noe
So come on


5. SUN/RISE/LIGHT/FLIES

Sun rise light flies (x4)

Sweet Sunday morning
Lets the nightmares come alive
I bet tomorrow makes it alright
I see my lovers
Flash before me on their knees
She tip the velvet makes it alright

Sun rise light flies (x4)

Sweet Sunday morning
Shake the lizards from my back
I chase the devil just for one night
And I light the paper
For all the friends who passed away
To all existence show me your light

Sun rise light flies (x4)


6. APNOEA

Pick diamonds up set demons free
Issue my fire
On the weakened liar
Last gang in town
Set to burn it down
I summoned you to the aftermath

Apnoea - Bearing down on me (x6)

Put your boots in man
Put your boots in girl
See the piggies fly
See the system fail
Said it isn't me
Said it isn't you
Change made by all and not by one

Apnoea - Bearing down on me (x3)


7. BY MY SIDE

[Chorus]
Come on, by my side
Come on, both sides
Come on, by my side
Come on, both sides

Step out of the shadows,send the children to their saints
You create these zombies, just to keep them from their saints
No communication as the master's cheat and steal
Stars ans constellations now I notice who you are

[Chorus]
Come on

No retaliation said the poet to his kin
Separate the idols and commit your
deadly sin
Love is put aside while you finish what you start
I collect the numbers, You protect my heart

[Chorus] (x2)

No retaliation said the poet to his kin
Separate the idols and commit your
deadly sin
Love is put aside while you finish what you start
I collect the numbers, You protect my heart

[Chorus]


8. STUNTMAN

No map looking for the one I love
Cause the one I love is here

No map looking for the one who stands
Cause he's arming me from fear

We got tuned in by the other side
Lives spent digging holes for the ones that hide

See the white of my eyes - I'm a stuntman (x4)

More cuts taken for the one in silence
Now he sits between my ears

His moves in madness how I love the rush
Could you wipe away these tears

We got taken by
A rush of blood

My trains leaving now
How I wish I could


9. SEEK AND DESTROY

Seek and destroy all you have cos I know
Brother your fears and my tears cos you know
And all I have now is being here with you

Seek and destroy all you have cas I know
Cos I know know right now
They will never be tuning in
To what we know

And all I have now is being here with you
Cover your fear it's all we know
Cover your fear it's all we know
And all I have now
Is being here with you


10. BRITISH LEGION

See, see how she dances with that cigarette in her hand
And she, she romances, everybody, like she can
She brings the lie and catches me again

Life, seen some wonders
I played my stupid games with you
Sing to me like I know you can
What girl whould be?
And she nits a snare catches me again

I guess you know to keep on dancing
Like I know you can

We're gonna make it through
We're gonna make it through now
Cos we're gonna make it through
Cos we're gonna make it through now
And the circus leaves town
Cos we're gonna make it through
Yeah, said we can make it through now
Yeah, we're gonna make it through
I said we can make it through now
And the boys and their dreams
For the boys and their dreams
I know you can hear me


11. THE DOBERMAN

Silence in the yard
Doberman's asleep
You never have to lay your head down here
Watch them disappear
The truth is they never had no future
They never had no past
I was alone
I was alone again

This beat on London's sky
Whiskey's almost dry
I smile 'cause I've already escaped
Just to like to see how far I can take it

They never had no future
They never had no past
I was alone
I was alone again
