Moon Howling at Earth
04:27

just like in the movies
we'll lick each other clean
oh we'll lick each other clean
just like in real life
we'll turn a blind eye
and bleed out to stay dry
moon howling at Earth
moon howling at Earth
we keep falling asleep
on the catwalk, somebody
wake us up
please hold me
it's cruel outside, I see
stakes for the wise
moon howling at Earth
moon howling at Earth
there was a another disease in town
that we never talked about
we looked up
at a flickering light
it was a tick in its eye
moon howling at Earth
moon howling at Earth

KIlling Fields
03:56
|
|||
I try to open up my ugly mind
and then I left you behind
I was so scared of you
I was so scared of you
head for the killing fields
I will meet you there
in between
your gutted dreams
turn to me
you feed my curse and pull out my lies
I clear my thoughts away from the light
yeah I saw the light
what an awful sight
head for the killing fields...
tend to your wrath
you can hide in my shame
you’re not alone
you’re not a
head for the killing fields...

By the Throat
03:02
|
|||
another day
of facing death
that's why we were born
my love
I'm painfully yours
take me down
to average towns
show me around
without a sound
free from love
I need to stay above
free from love
I need to stay above
the only way
to get by
is by the throat
if you get too close
if you get too close
free from love
I need to stay above
free from love
I need to stay above

Existential Needs
03:38
|
|||
I wanna be your savior
every single day
I forget myself
every single day
guess you're right about your rights
so where can I grab you by?
everything will turn out just fine
just wear something nice
no, I'm no use
a carved out head next to you
you don't see
my existential needs
r-e-s-p-e-c-t
but what about me?
once a man's world
and now my reflection isn't real
stay away from the window
there's a world falling apart
the issue is not the issue baby
hear my tremendous roar
no, I'm no use
a carved out head next to you
you don't see
my existential needs
another drink please
for my existential needs
where did our purpose go?
I really don't know
where did our purpose go?
I really don't know
I'm nature's boy
and you're nature's girl
I guess we'll meet in the mall
(no we won't)

One Eye Opener
06:38
|
|||
your world is ending
hell is a new beginning
democracy is a cute little lie
man up boy and believe in a fly
here comes the tide
here comes the tide
to wash us away
there was one eye open
everybody's dying
everybody's dying
to feel something
everybody's dying
everybody's dying
to feel something
keeping up appearance
keeping down the sickness
was it a clash or a melting together
again today, when people met
here comes the tide...
everybody's dying
everybody's dying
to feel something...
mama's little man don't feel too good
mama's little man don't feel too good
someone asked for some change
then someone took the money and ran away
everybody's dying
everybody's dying

Riot on a Diet
04:33
|
|||
I know
you've got a lot up your sleeve
try
and convince me of nothing
oh my lord
why are you such a bore?
we're about to turn to reason
I'm a fan of the glory of it all
let's toast in our open sores
why only try
when we can break through
all of these lies
we thought was a truth
life is underwhelming
you don't have to remind me
don't
waste too much time on this song
we're both
dead lovers on vacation
craving another touch
craving another touch
craving another touch
craving another touch
why only try
when we can break through...
oh my lord
we're about to turn to ashes
craving another touch...
riot on a diet
who can hear us crying?
riot on a diet
who can hear us trying?

Creep For Life
03:26
|
|||
oh sweet ticking flesh
I’m off to cease
the day with a scream
shoved into this
merry slaughter land
as a witness
I’m too drunk to sing for you now
I keep missing my cues
this party is the worst party ever
I see an evil love
I guess I will
never be in your arms
shake, your hands would shake
your kiss would sting
your fist would sing
blood is thick they say
and I might need
bigger veins
I was such a cute little mess
I didn’t ask for this
this party is the worst party ever
I see an evil love
I guess I will
never be in your arms
creep, creep, creep, creep, creep, CREEP
creep for life
and on my knees for old times
I guess I will
never be in your arms

Play Dead Together
03:10
|
|||
it didn’t change anything
changing our way of thinking
read to me from The Book of Hate
I wanna be leader of the States
you don’t have to love me
not even like a clown
but I’d love it if you came over
we could play dead together
don’t give in now
it’s only blood from your eyes and ears
don’t give up now
here’s a toast to all your fears
I see cracks in the air
now we barely exist
fold your dreams twice
they might just fit
don’t give in now
it’s only blood from your eyes and ears
don’t give up now
here’s a toast to all your fears
why won’t you come over
so we can play dead together
why won’t you come over
let’s play dead together

Early in the Mourning
04:36
|
|||
mourn and we mourn
we mourn and we mourn
it's early in the mourning
reaching out for
the good in Man
they were busy
"just checking in”
said outer space
"can you hear me?"
crooked science
and common sense
are on trial again
my baby stopped
burning books
now she's ignoring them
burn down your churches
in the name of love
still waiting for the future
come on let's move on
let's move on
let's move on
grooming the wilderness
and banning togetherness
let's get a tan
and chew on angel skin
till something kicks in
oh Man
everything will
everything will spin
into oblivion
burn down your churches...
mourn and we mourn
we mourn and we mourn
it's early in the mourning

Trees Come From Hell
07:04
|
|||
sloppy butchers
all led astray
by haunted DNA
we lift up the shores
pull down the stars
we will lead the way
ripping down the sweets
from the shelves
and I won't pay for them
so many roads
to losing my face
no I won't pay for them
where did all the trees go?
where did all the trees go?
all the little trees go
oh
where did all the little trees go?
all the little trees go?
oh
I don't know
oh it stared
yeah life stared us
dead in the eyes
and then it turned
yeah it turned
itself inside out
where did all the trees go?...
let's just wait for something
let's just wait for something
let's just wait for something
to happen
(somewhere in between bombs)
let's just wait for something
let's just wait for something
let's just wait for something
one big nothing
(somewhere in between bombs)
everything is running out
everything is running out
(better be aware now)
the music has left the building
the music has left the building
music trees
music trees
