Juggernaut 03:38
Something big Truly larger than anything Came down From a purple sky And the lights Would have burned But we got on board This juggernaut In this bliss Truly greater than anything Flew the galaxy And my brain would have burst But we got on board This juggernaut Expand you mind You'll be lost And be never found It's a trap But we like it like that Get on board Say goodbye To the dreary world Juggernaut In this bliss Truly greater than anything Flew the galaxy And my brain would have burst But we got on board This juggernaut Oh oh Oh oh Oh oh Spin into time And plummet like astronauts Blazing void Will warp you inside out Get on board Say hello you utopia Juggernaut In this bliss Truly greater than anything Flew the galaxy And my brain would have burst But we got on board This juggernaut Oh oh Oh oh Oh oh

Blue Room 02:12
Cup and saucer Put em together And watch them spinning The lone Ranger Sprouting up Needs to be plucked out I love the portraits Of my little ones My children I can trace the outside Of My life I know It off by heart You could dip yourself in You could dip yourself And be a part But I need this blue room I need this blue room To sleep sideways When I want to But when I don’t want you I’m too kind And I don’t like me I can trace the outside Of My life I know It off by heart You could dip yourself in You could dip yourself And be a part But I need this blue room I need this blue room To sleep sideways When I want to But when I don’t want you I’m too kind And I don’t like me I can trace the outside Of My life I know It off by heart You could dip yourself in You could dip yourself And be a part But I need this blue room

Fall 03:43
You slip by wonder why Shaking and fall To be apart and never stop To see me at all Fall Fall You take me down your overground Lost in my lost gravity And when I've found my place to drown Lie down in sweet harmony I have flown far from home There's not anymore And If I fall will I take it all Standing up tall Or crawl Crawl You take me down your overground Lost in my lost gravity And when I've found my place to drown Lie down in sweet harmony Oh fall Oh fall Oh fall You could try wave goodbye With a small claw And in my face still hold your grace Don't look at the floor Whore Whore You take me down your overground Lost in my lost gravity And when I've found my place to drown Lie down in sweet harmony I Fall Fall

Why can’t we take a plane And fly right though the rain The acid hitting loud Into the thickest cloud To the thickset cloud Why can’t we take a plane And fly right though the rain The acid hitting loud Into the thickest cloud To the thickset cloud I want to be Higher than he I’ll fly around ’Til I hit the ground I want to be Higher than he I’ll fly around ’Til I hit the ground Why can’t we take a plane And fly right though the rain The acid hitting loud Into the thickest cloud To the thickset cloud To the thickset cloud I want to be Higher than he I’ll fly around ’Til I hit the ground I want to be Higher than he I’ll fly around ’Til I hit the ground

Rocketing 02:36
Stars like cars Follow me home In the universe Supa silver curse Rocketing down Hitting on everyone that's just Hanging around We will be melting in the sun We are hypnotised By luminous skies Penetrate my hands No-one understands Rocketing down Hitting on everyone that's just Hanging around We will be melting in the sun There are things i've seen That turn my eyes lime green I want to lie all night in your arms tonight Rocketing down Hitting on everyone that's just Hanging around We will be melting in the sun

Lived on borrowed time Little boy red sign And once you have it You always have it Inside Lived on borrowed time By my restless night And once you have it You’ll always have it It’s dark But I saw you laugh I don’t have a car I’m gonna miss these days I’m really missing these days Lived on borrowed time By my restless night Lived on borrowed time Found my darkest side And once you have it You’ll always have it It’s dark I saw you laugh I don’t have a car I’m gonna miss these days I’m really missing these days And I saw you laugh I don’t have a car I’m gonna miss these days I’m really missing these days

Rising through the darkest pool Of torquoise swirling slow She's as black as light is bright And eyes of violet glow Oh oh Oh oh Octopus girl sings a song Of sadness's that is sweet Floating cutting through the water She does not have feet Oh oh Oh oh Black mermaid how do you breathe How do you sing so sweet I know that you're a myth my love You're dying in my sleep Oh oh Oh oh There's a force you know is bad It takes you to the light And a lifetime swallows you You die to see the sky Oh oh Oh oh

Bless my soul I'm in the water I can see your only daughter Shaking out the droplets with her hands I don't want to panic you But this is something you can't chew through Blame it on the twist we've learnt to live Your volcano will lie Dormant in my head Dormant in my head If the dancer has no feet Remember who you will defeat I'm hating you for reasons that are wrong I must be true to myself That I can never measure your wealth Slip away you might as well Your volcano will lie Dormant in my head Dormant in my head Molten energies Melting away Bending in your mind bending Cracking away Molten energies Simmer away Yeah Oh oh oh Bless my soul I'm in the water I can see your only daughter Shaking out the droplets with her hands I don't want to panic you But this is something you can't chew through Blame it on the twist we've learnt to live Your volcano will lie Dormant in my head Dormant in my head If the dancer has no feet Remember who you will defeat I'm hating you for reasons that are wrong I must be true to myself That I can never measure your wealth Slip away you might as well Your volcano will lie Dormant in my head Dormant in my head Molten energies Melting away Bending in your mind bending Cracking away Molten energies Simmer away Yeah

Shortest Day 04:35
You don’t know Why you came And you won’t know When you’re going Reach into your pocket Dig out small change Don’t bother It’s worthless anyway Orange dust Sweeps through your eyes You’re going blind You don’t realise This will be Our shortest day In this place of dreams You can live nightmares When you hear death scream You’ll just walk on As if it’s not there Orange dust Sweeps through your eyes You’re going blind You don’t realise This will be Our shortest day The orange dust Turns blackest black A dull sky Turns to red Oblivious you turn your back What what your last thought Orange dust Sweeps through your eyes
