Les paroles


1. GRAVITY

There's a little old man, who can get his hands
On a brand new silver planet
Walks the walk, and he talks the talk
If I had the world he could have it

For every question there are ways to shoot it down
Well there's a greenback, a green light
So we suggest we get this new thing off the ground

But I can't stand the gravity, can't stand it
The way you handled it, I got to hand it to you
No I can't stand the gravity, understand it
The way you handled it, I'm coming out of my shoes

Shudder, and wind me up
Like a toy on my first day of school
Stranded, abandoned
It's the rent and I'm out of food

For every answer there are questions to spare
It's nothing but convenience though it's not convenient
We ain't going anywhere

But I can't stand the gravity, can't stand it
The way you handled it, I come and hand it to you
But I can't stand the gravity, understand it
The way you handled it, I'm coming out of my shoes

Come on home
Drifting up alone
Burning away
Up in the space

Lie down in a dream
Tell me whatcha need
Just a circuitry
It's only sanctity
Live how you wanna live

Circle like a satellite
Like a shooting star, still flickering, still glowing
The room is still on fire

For every answer there are ways to shoot it down
Down on the cold ground do you believe that this time you are comin' round

But I can't stand the gravity, can't stand it
The way you handled it, I come and hand it to you
No I can't stand the gravity, can't stand it
The way you handled it, I'm coming out of my shoes

Lie down in a dream
Tell me whatcha need
It's only sanctity
Just a circuitry
Live how you wanna live
Like a shooting star
Like candle light, still flickering
Floating like a bumble bee, in a whirlwind, blowing
Like a candle light
Starting to disintegrate


2. INTO THE LIGHT

Once you’ve drawn the line, you can’t think twice
You would never take your own advice
Skating on a grave that’s paved with ice
You step into the light
How can I be sure if this is a sure thing
I’m so tangled up in puppeteers’ strings
Once you’ve crossed the line
You’re stepping into

Breaking horses, raising cain, heading for the hills
The best day ever just got better, it gets better still

Once you’ve crossed the line you can’t let go
Never go out, I have been alone
Skating on a grave that’s made of stone
You step into the light

You better be sure that this is a sure thing
As a puppet on a string
Once you’ve crossed the line
You’re stepping into

Breaking horses, raising cain, heading for the hills
The best day ever just got better, it gets better still

Once you’ve crossed the line, you can’t think twice
You’re looking out of

Chasing sirens, red lights change
No time left to kill
Waving flags of fine drawn lines
Find a cheaper thrill

This is a sure thing
Once you’ve crossed the line
You step into the light
You step into the light

Breaking horses, raising cain heading for the hills
The best day ever just got better, it gets better still

Waving flags of macho life (much of your life)
Find a cheaper plan

4. BY THE WAY

If I could remember what makes me feel good
I'd pound it down like a nail in wood
I'd never let go of that feeling again I know

I know that I felt this way before
I'd pound it down like a cellar door
I want you to know I'm behind you, by the way

By the way that you look when I confront you
By the way that I affect the things you do
By the way did I tell you I can't leave you, by the way

I'll be waiting for you on judgment day
To watch all these judgments pass away
And by the way the details fall, by the way

By the way all the people that care about you
Are all watching to see what you're gonna do
By the way have I told you I can't leave you, by the way

By the way that you built me up again
Back to a time when I was intense
And now I know you play for what you pay

By the way that you make me feel all right
By the way that you put up such a fight
By the way that my trust and faith is safe with you

6. LET’S ALL KILL EACH OTHER

(Let's all kill each other)

I've been reading everything,
The papers and the magazines,
Believin' every word I read
Way too many mouths to feed,
But we can all agree believing
Everybody's better off dead
If you're lookin' for some inspiration,
Blast off through the generation

Let's all kill each other
Kill your sisters and kill your brothers
Take the fun out of one another
Let's all kill each other

I'm not having any fun,
I'm sick and tired of everyone,
I wonder what's the right thing to do
Knives and guns for everyone,
Now everyone protects someone,
At least that's what I learned from you
Just can't trust anyone else,
Gonna have to do it ourselves

Let's all kill each other
Kill your fathers and kill your mothers
Take the life of one another
Let's all kill each other

Let's all kill each other
Kill your sisters and kill your brothers
Take the fun out of one another
Let's all kill each other

Maybe we could talk it out
Maybe I could shut you down
Everything's so complicated
I can't believe how long we've waited
I can try to figure it out
I know what to do about it
I know what to do about it

Let's all kill each other

If you're looking for a little reaction,
Here comes your coming attraction

Let's all kill each other
Kill your sisters and kill your brothers
Take the fun out of one another
Let's all kill each other

Let's all kill each other
Kill your fathers and kill your mothers
Take the life of one another
Let's all kill each other


7. CRUEL INTENTIONS

Cruel intentions, harbored for thee
Too few to mention, but not too hard to see
Crude inventions and mysterious schemes
I need prevention now
Do you see that it's true
All you care about is you
Baby thats cruel
So save your cruel intentions for somebody other than me

Sweet pretentions, so cute and in style
Sales potential, yes I'd walk a mile
Unholy places and so much to see
I need a replacement now
Do you see that it's true
Your whole world spins around you
Baby thats cruel
So save your cruel intentions for somebody other than me

Cruel intentions, harbored for thee
Too few to mention, but do you see that it's true
Your whole world spins around you
Baby thats cruel
So save your cruel intentions for somebody other than me

So save your cruel intentions for somebody other than me

10. I SHOULD’VE STAYED IN BED

I'm gonna stay in bed all day
I'm gonna stay in bed all day
And this could be my lucky day
Or it could turn to black
I might get lucky anyway
I might never come back

And it's too late for a wake up call
Too late for a wake up call

I'm gonna put it off today
I'm gonna put you off
Nothing I got to do today except for blow you off
My dreams are all just throwaways
My superstitions lack
I'm just unlucky anyway
All of my cats are black

Don't let the sun pass you by
Don't let it fall from the sky
Don't let the sunshine pass you by
Don't let the tear fall from your eye
I could have stayed in bed all day
I could have stayed in bed all day
Nothing I got to do today
I might just rise and shine

Don't let the sun pass you by
Don't let it fall from the sky
Don't let the sunshine pass you by
Don't let the tear fall from your eye
Its there each time I turn around I look away and you'll be gone
I could have done so many things
I could have stayed
I could have stayed

I should have stayed in bed all day
I should have stayed in bed all day
