Monster in the City

There's a monster in my city tonight
He plunder thru the buildings and he's blocking out the light
There's a downward spiral in his eyes
He's beyond any reason and he might even be high
So you'd better heed that vampire
Just get down under the table
Hope and pray for your life
You realize now you've seen him twice
For what is he doing in this deep dark time?
Mummy mummy mummy, buddy
where do you go
Wrapped up in all that madness, misery and death and woe
Intruder through my buddha - that's my new Van Gogh
Smash and crash and dash and bash everything I love and know
Is it jealousy, nihlism or pain
What do it take to exterminate your hate down the drain
You need a hobby or some good food
I'm feeling your behavior is really really rude
Monster in the City
Not looking very pretty
The dark skies live in you
The sun seems to have died
And the flowers turn black to spite you
Is no one on your side?

Technology is fucking with me
Mother Fucker
File not found, bad serial number
the problem could be this, that or the other
Throw your preferences in the trash
You don't have the correct version of flash
Pinwheel
Hourglass
Incompatible...oh you've got the wrong cord
You should've gotten Firewire
Up your RAM to the sky
Buyer beware of the virus out there
You need more protection
Need to be more scared....
Just tell me what I need to know
Where does the signal go?
Failure. Mode. Effect. Analysis.
Update this. Update that
Take off my artiste
Put on my engineer hat.

Critical Eye
03:24
|

|
The day destroys the night
I think I'm getting to the surface
You hit it too true, Dr. Loo,
When you said that I deserve this
Messy mind, negative I
See your hatred all implied
Need to watch who's hill I climb
Evil peaks or sideline blind
The night divides the day
And I drink some poison to conform
Chemical light, a skin so tight
Under uneasy gaze we unite
Plastic smiles
Travelled miles
Over- styled
Faked a try
Critical Eye
Critical Eye
Critical Eye
Critical Eye

Knight of Rods
02:39

Knight in shining armor got you all on fire
He's fiery and flashy
Think you just might die
He don't think about it
He just goes
He's got your head spin spinning
You just don't know
Caught up in hurricanes
The best and the worst
Playing in tornadoes
And landing in dirt
Emotional flooding
Waterlogged
Look back and realize
Last year was a blur
You can't turn him down
Cuz then you'll feel like a snob
Your knight in shining armor ain't got no job
Turning into yawns all in time
The whole time you know that you stayed too long
He decides to take off and complete his knowing
And charges right past you
Where is he going?
Take over my mind
Blind my eyes
He turned my mind to jello
with a wave of his wand
Get your power back all in time
Your shining armor gleaming bright in sun
Here he comes again
Circle done
Race that fucker to the finish line
Take over my mind
Blind my eyes
He turned my mind to jello with a wave of his wand
Get your power back

Eye

Undecided day after day
And now the tsunami's gonna wash me away
Not sure if I should bother to pray
He already came and got me today
Into the eye of the whirlpool
I'm not bored anymore
Into the eye of the whirlpool
Faster faster faster

Smoking in America
02:43
|
|||
|
Manuscripts of cello variations
Made me decide to go on vacation
You stay here, I'll be in Malaysia
Watching out for all the teenagers
High rate suicide
He didn't mean to die
He just wanted to try
It's just like smoking in America
Unknown sketches of the Scherzo
Painted rags thrown on the dirt floor
Works for piano cry for attention
Mad cause you forgot to mention
...it was just a little conversation
Between the doctor and the patient
High rate suicide
He didn't mean to die

Math Part

Sun all shining
You all whining
Got to do the math part, dammit
Ears turning, ears burning, little bit of learning
Got to do the math part
Hittin' the sky with an elevator eye
Birds fallin' from the sky
Umbrella up dance
This guy that guy
One day they did something crazy
I heard all about it
Hittin' the sky with an elevator eye
Birds fallin' from the sky
Take it to the math part
Earth all quakin' the legs all shakin'
Kick it - start makin' what's not
Sun all shinin'
You all whinin'
Got to do the math part
Ready set, gonna start
Got to do the math part
Slow spin let it all come in
Lean in
Take it to the math part
