Monochrome

They walk around through the streets of this town
In a haze of boredom grey
And outside - it’s a marching of shuffling feet
And inside - empty eyes stare at TV screens
Get up, get out
And shut your mouth
Your time has come
In monochrome, you can just be alone
Without any colors, in loneliness at home
They’d like to see everyone just the same
No other thoughts or different talk
Everyone with a common name
In their mind - it’s the way it was meant to be
In their eyes - every face looks the same to you and me
In monochrome, the story’s told in black and white
In monochrome, you can just be alone
Without any colors, in loneliness at home
(2x)
Get up, get out
And shut your mouth
Your time has come
In monochrome, this is how the story goes
Without any colors, in loneliness
In monochrome, you can just be alone
Without any colors, in loneliness at home

Sleek Black Car

Just another midnight drive
All dressed up in a dark, grey suit and tie
A new machine - so fast and clean (just so clean)
Here in a magazine
The promises made on the pages between
All the details that you’ll need
Just sign on the line and buy into the dream (buy into the dream)
Empty bottles on marble floors
The party ends, but there’s always more and more
When you have the stuff, somehow it’s not enough (it’s not enough)
Here in a magazine
The promises made on the pages between
All the details that you’ll need
Just sign on the line and buy into the dream
Driving a sleek, black car
The faster you go you can leave them behind
All the glitter and all the gold
A house in the hills and all of it’s mine
All of it - all of it’s mine
Everything I want is...
Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It’s the only way to live

A Shock to a Soft Heart
03:57
|
|||
|
A needle becomes a bigger knife
A pinprick is open wide
The tides turn around and quickly wash away
(And) once a friend is now just another enemy
It’s a sharp shock to a soft heart
When everyone’s a fake and you’re easily replaced
You knew it when you picked it up
The poison dripped off your cuff
The apple looks so sweet, but it’s the core that gets you
(And) it’s only you who can just spit it out
Just spit it out
It’s only you
It’s a sharp shock to a soft heart
When everyone’s a fake and you’re easily replaced
It’s a sharp shock to a soft heart
And even the toughest hearts, they get bruised and they break
When they take you down just because they can (just because they can)
The fiends in machines, they can be so mean

Concrete Cracks

The concrete cracks
and we divide
So this is the end of our story
The book has closed and turned to dust
Foundations shift, when no one’s talking
and buildings fall, when no one’s watching
We could take a snapshot - a perfect picture
And put it on display - now and forever
Moving in and out of structures
The rooms are bare - but no one cared
The paint was peeling back
and here we are on a film of dirt that covered where we stood (we once stood)
We could take a snapshot - a perfect picture
And put it on display - now and forever
It wouldn’t be that hard to make everyone believe
that the smiles we made had no tears between
The concrete cracks and we divide
Never grasping what was lost
A tiny split now an ocean wide
There are no more bridges we can cross this time

All of This in Decline
04:09
|

So many lines on this face
A story, a roadmap of every time and place
And everyone I saw too
How will I fade away?
How will we fade away - when the lights go down?
So many miles on these shoes
The soles wear thin
It’s like the rust that creeps
Along the sides and underneath
Where you can’t see it
Until you fade away...
All of this in decline
I left my days behind
Sorted through these photographs
From year to year - all passed
And the city lost its neon lights
They were running down and flickered out
And when the clock stops at 3am
We turn around to wander home
Down the long road - all alone
Ashes to ashes
Back to the monkeys
Ashes to ashes
We all fall down
Ashes to ashes
Back to the monkeys
And we all just fade away
And leave behind our trash

Emerald

I see your face in my face
I hear your voice in my voice
And your blood is in my blood
Emerald, emerald - how you shine and you shine
I hear your voice in my voice just like an echo reaching out
I see your face in my face - a further reflection of yourself
And you shine - emerald shine
It was too bad about you
I felt I hardly knew you
So I ran around the block to shake it off
But the feeling never left
So it’s like you never left at all
Danny boy the pipes, the pipes are calling you
Danny boy the pipes, the pipes are calling you
Back home
