Boom! 03:03
Let's go! Get ready to break out, get ready to run. Grab your bible, don't forget your gun. Tonight we do what must be done. Grab your bible, don't forget your gun... Boom! The moon will rise until it turns the tide. A warning shot right between the eyes. Grab your bible, don't forget your gun. Tonight we burn bright as any sun! Boom! Pull the trigger, baby, drop the bomb. Blow 'em all to Kingdom Come. Boom! Pull the trigger, baby, drop the bomb. Blow 'em all to Kingdom Come...

Since you're gone, the nights are getting strange. Since you're gone, nothing's making sense. Since you're gone, I stumble in the shade. Since you're gone, everything's in perfect tense... Well, I can't help it when you fall apart. And I can't help it, I guess I better start forgetting about you. Since you're gone, the nights are getting strange. Since you're gone, I've thrown it all away. Since you're gone, the nights are getting strange. Since you're gone, I've thrown it all away. I can't help it, everything's a mess and I can't help it, you're so treacherous when it comes to tenderness... Since you're gone. I can't help it, everything's a mess and I can't help it, you're so treacherous. Ah, where's that tenderness? Since you're gone, I've missed the peak sensations. Since you're gone, I took a big vacation. Since you're gone, well, it never feels sedate. Since you're gone, well, the moonlight ain't so great... Since you're gone. The night, it's getting strange. And I've thrown it all away... Since you're gone. I've thrown it all away... Since you're gone.

I'm so scared, I wouldn't dare feed my problems to the sea. Though I know she would swallow them, yes, she would swallow them. It's so hard to keep my problems here with me when I know she would swallow them whole... It's not fair to those who care, when my problems take the lead. 'Cause I know that I follow them, yes, I do follow them down to the mouth of the sea... And they seem so small when she opens, wide and tall, with a promise to take them all away from me... But I think I can bear them when I compare my problems to the sea. Although I feel hollow inside, oh, so hollow. I'm scared. I wouldn't dare feed my problems to the sea. 'Cause I know she would swallow me whole...

I don’t want to die alone. I want to die with you. To discover whatever comes after… Oh, to kiss your mouth one last time, grab your hand and run to the edge, fast as we can. Oh, the thrill of meeting these new feelings head-on with hearts on fire! Hearts on fire! Hearts on fire! Hearts on fire! My one desire, my only love, our screams intertwined and buried in the rush. Oh, to kiss the ground with you by my side. With you by my side… I don’t want to die alone. I want to die with you. To discover whatever comes after… I don’t want to die alone. I want to die with you. To discover whatever comes after with you… With you... With you, my one desire... With you, my only love...

Friends 04:00
Keep your friends to a minimum. The more you have, the more you stand to lose. The truly good ones would never leave you stranded by the curbside, waiting for a cab that never comes… And I don’t care what they say… Keep them closer than your enemies. It’s better to feel loved than to know how bad you’re hated. And beware the fair-weathered ones, for they know not what you go through when it’s raining on you and you’re outside, waiting by the curb… But mostly keep your friends to a minimum. It hurts more to lose two than it does to lose one. And when you’re stranded by the curbside, waiting for a cab that never comes, just smile, my friend, for now you know that friend was not a good one… That friend was not a good one...

The devil's in the doorway and he's looking for a fix. He's agreed to do it your way but there's an asterisk. You see, patience is a virtue and he ain't too virtuous so let's get on with this... The devil's in the doorway and he's itching for a taste. A threesome or a four-way, maybe a memory erased. You see, grass is growing underfoot, it's only time we waste so let's get on with this... Let's get on with this... And we'll drop one for the good times, take another for the bad. A couple for later on when you realize what you could have had. Wash it down with wine or water, guess it doesn't really matter when you're sad. Ahhh... The devil's in the doorway and he needs a pick-me-up. Something to take away the pain that comes with life and love. You see, he's closed the door behind him, I think he's waited long enough so let's get on with this... Let's get on with this... And we'll drop one for the good times, take another for the bad. A couple for later on when you realize what you could have had. Wash it down with wine or water, guess it doesn't really matter when you're sad. Drop one for the good times, take another for the bad. A couple for later on when you realize what you could have had. Wash it down with wine or water, guess it doesn't really matter when you're sad. Oh, so sad... Ahhh...

Dislocation 04:00
The pulley spins, the rope is tight. I turn in for the night. The music's low, my heartbeat slows. Turn inward, toward the light. Toward the light... A life played out, the credits roll. This day, well worth the toll. Turn inward, I am whole. I am whole... A murderous glare, a cancer scare. So much love yet to share. A necklace made of skin abraded. Turn inward, I am there. I am there... I work so hard, there's nothing more. Turn inward, I'm reborn. Turn inward, I'm reborn... Slowly swing, the angels sing. I don't feel anything. Turn inward now, and sing to me. I don't feel anything. I don't feel anything. I don't feel anything....

Say something, say anything... Say nothing. We’re in grave danger now. Sleight of hand and words fail me. Say nothing. We’re in grave danger now. Walls are built in conversation. Say nothing. We’re in grave danger now. Say something, say anything... Say nothing. We’re in grave danger now. We’re in grave danger now.

Okay. Bye. 03:17
We had our thrills, we had some fun. It's over now and we are done. Eden is wasted and overrun by the last, wild bramble of a dying sun... A bridge I built but to burn in time, I left my heart there for you to find. A bridge I built but to burn in time, I left my heart there... And you say, 'Okay.' And you say, 'Okay.' 'Bye.'
