Under the light of a cigarette, you lose all sense of your etiquette You’re acting wild, playing like a child All tough and loud but without a sound Calling everybody names, asked for help but nobody came You’re black and green, somewhere in between A hard place and a rock With the clock ticking away, you’re time is drifting by I can see a timid truth, in the teardrop in your eye Tell me once, tell me twice Tell me something that you shouldn’t All the times you thought you couldn’t Now you’d tell me but you wouldn’t Tell me thrice, tell me nice Show me all your deepest secrets I won’t rest a day until you tell me All I need to know Now’s not the time to play nice No teriyaki chicken no sushi rice Eat what you can straight out of the can Cos you won’t have long to sing your song Keep your finger-tapping light Or you’ll wake the neighbors in the dead of night The city lights are as cold as ice No mercy or sympathy Something’s lurking in the shadows, away from prying eyes Though I see it peeking through, come and see me in the light Tell me once, tell me twice Tell me something that you shouldn’t All the times you thought you couldn’t Now you’d tell me but you wouldn’t Tell me thrice, tell me nice Show me all your deepest secrets I won’t rest a day until you tell me All I need to know Tell me once, tell me twice Tell me something that you shouldn’t All the times you thought you couldn’t Now you’d tell me but you wouldn’t Tell me thrice, tell me nice Show me all your deepest secrets I won’t rest a day until you tell me All I need to know There’s no telling what will be till I know All I need to know

These uncertain times, keep failing me Surrounding me in a secret When two crossing paths, make contact How do I react, how do I cope If there’s a too-strong connection A tether to the other side Do I sever the chains that love me? Or perish my only desire? I’m not looking for a human sacrifice I’m not asking for a heartfelt sacrifice I don’t need a helping lamb A sacrificial altar where I stand You don’t need to kill yourself To say that you love me Quiet confusion, attacking me Confounding me in illusion Should there be such an affection Like a loving infection Do I heal these embraces? Or perish my only desire? I’m not looking for a human sacrifice I’m not asking for a heartfelt sacrifice I don’t need a helping lamb A sacrificial altar where I stand You don’t need to kill yourself To say that you love me I’m not looking for a human sacrifice I’m not asking for a heartfelt sacrifice I don’t need a helping lamb A sacrificial altar where I stand You don’t need to kill yourself To say that you love me I don’t need a helping lamb A sacrificial altar where I stand You don’t need to kill yourself To say that you love me That you love me You love me You love me…

Love & Hate 04:07
I can’t shake this feeling, I don’t know why am I reeling It’s the most peculiar sensation, I’m not in tune with its vibration I see you, standing there all alone, and I had just put my heart out on loan In a funny twist of fate, our happiness I’ve grown to hate It’s such a fine line between love and hate Gotta turn back now before it’s too late I better figure out this mess I’ve made Before I change my mind, but it takes some time A limited desire, is what you get when you can’t make fire I should have seen it coming long ago, but I was wishing and I could not let go I’m nuts about you, but it doesn’t mean that I can’t live without you Ain’t it funny, how nobody seems to know It’s such a fine line between love and hate Gotta turn back now before it’s too late I better figure out this mess I’ve made Before I change my mind, but it takes some time It’s such a fine line between love and hate Gotta turn back now before it’s too late I better figure out this mess I’ve made Before I change my mind, but it takes some time The heart needs time to understand I can’t change it on demand If what just happened was a mistake How long can it take? It’s such a fine line between love and hate Gotta turn back now before it’s too late I better figure out this mess I’ve made Before I change my mind, but it takes some time It’s such a fine line between love and hate Gotta turn back now before it’s too late I better figure out this mess I’ve made Before I change my mind, but it takes some time

Clueless 05:14
I keep flubbing my lines, all the time It’s harder to make sense, but I’m trying Day-to-day’s not too good, it’s not the same Could never see the point, till you came by Long ago and far away, I could have seen you any day But times have changed, we’ve been rearranged, gotta find another way I’m clueless, dumbfounded without you I’m clueless and I don’t know what to do I miss you more and more as each day passes by And until you set me straight, I’m clueless regardless Nothing’s on TV, it’s all talk It’s been a while since the radio stopped playing There was a time not too long ago, when we laughed at nearly every show But times have changed, we’ve been rearranged, gotta find another way I’m clueless, so lost and far from found I fumble and I tumble to the ground The lights are on but no one’s home, it’s been like this for too long So thoughtless, clueless I’m clueless, dumbfounded without you I’m clueless and I don’t know what to do I miss you more and more as each day passes by And until you set me straight, I’m clueless regardless Circumstances throwing me around My feet can’t seem to touch the ground Day rolls over to night, with no end in sight To the music of the lonely fight Long ago and far away, I could have seen you every day But times have changed, we’ve been rearranged, gotta find another way I’m clueless, so lost and far from found I fumble and I tumble to the ground The lights are on but no one’s home, it’s been like this for too long So thoughtless, clueless I’m clueless, dumbfounded without you I’m clueless and I don’t know what to do I miss you more and more as each day passes by And until you set me straight, I’m clueless regardless Clueless Clueless

Look into my soft Lithuanian eyes, you’ll find peace if you Look into my soft Lithuanian eyes, cos my eyes are Lithuanian In the cold, cold winter, looking for romance The snow falling gently, pulls me into a trance It’s a cold, cold comfort, that makes me forget The dangers of those around; our pasts of regret If we try to pretend that we’re someone else From somewhere far away It would be lying to each other’s hearts It’s just denying, who we really are, if you Look into my soft Lithuanian eyes, you’ll find peace if you Look into my soft Lithuanian eyes, cos my eyes are Lithuanian And they’re soft The woods that surround us, are not a safe place to be But we can make ourselves a sanctuary if we have, you and me If we try to pretend that we’re someone else With hearts made of gold We couldn’t live like this, it’d be forgetting this We couldn’t make fire out of this cold, but if you Look into my soft Lithuanian eyes, you’ll find peace if you Look into my soft Lithuanian eyes, cos my eyes are Lithuanian Ooh my soft Lithuanian eyes, I’ll ease your mind if you Look into my soft Lithuanian eyes, cos my eyes are Lithuanian Try to pretend that we’re someone else From somewhere far away It would be lying to each other’s hearts It’s just denying, who we really are, if you Look into my soft Lithuanian eyes, you’ll find peace if you Look into my soft Lithuanian eyes, cos my eyes are Lithuanian Ooh my soft Lithuanian eyes, I’ll ease your mind if you Look into my soft Lithuanian eyes, cos my eyes are Lithuanian (Come closer; I’m Lithuanian, come closer, look in my eyes) (L-I-T-H-U-A-N-I-A-N)

Take It Slow 05:16
Rainfall on your window It soothes the mind, warms the soul Hiding under moonlight Our breezy heat is all on show Take your time, take it slow Cos there ain’t no other place you’d want to go Take it back, it’s touch and go And I’ll show you all you’d ever want to know You can count on me, you will see, all the fire and desire Deep in you and me, TAKE IT, slow… Night stars softly shining Keeping dirty secrets Hiding them deep under your pillow Take your time, take it slow Cos there ain’t no other place you’d want to go Take it back, it’s touch and go And I’ll show you all you’d ever want to know You can count on me, you will see, all the fire and desire Deep in you and me, TAKE IT Take your time, take it slow Cos there ain’t no other place you’d want to go Take it back, it’s touch and go And I’ll show you all you’d ever want to know Baby, take your time, take it slow Cos there ain’t no other place you’d want to go Take it back, it’s touch and go And I’ll show you all you’d ever want to know You can count on me, you will see, all the fire and desire Deep in you and me, TAKE IT, slow…

Time oh so quickly, snuck up right behind me Didn’t have time to react Dazed and confused, I’ve contracted the blues The world’s not the same, that’s a fact I think I’ve fallen behind, they think that I’m losing my mind But it’s far from the truth, I’m still stuck in my youth The world I know is gone and far from sight There’s too much contemporary conversation Fooling myself when I pretend that I understand it all Contemporary conversation She’s in the back of my mind, gotta leave it all behind Contemporary conversation, bring me back to the times that I know so well Contemporary conversation, take me back to the days of my wishing well Another new day is dawning, one I’ve seen so many times before But when I’m touched by the light it’s so different, it confounds me more and more I think I’ve fallen behind, they think that I’m losing my mind But it’s far from the truth, I’m still stuck in my youth The world I know is gone and far from sight There’s too much contemporary conversation Fooling myself when I pretend that I understand it all Contemporary conversation She’s in the back of my mind, gotta leave it all behind Contemporary conversation, bring me back to the times that I know so well Contemporary conversation, take me back to the days of my wishing well Contemporary conversation, bring me back to the times that I know so well Contemporary conversation, take me back to the days of my wishing well

You better not wish for a summer breeze If you know what to expect You’ll soon find out that there ain’t no cloud That can save you from yourself You feelin the eyes lookin up surprised Like you’re a sight to behold Be sure it’s not fear of the common cold You’re a world not of their own Gotta brace yourself, for the loudest silence that you’ve ever felt A place where time will never slow down Where the night sky will never ever come around Idols calling to be idolized, surprises come as no surprise Longing for the, bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo The crowded streets and the empty eyes, the busy days and the early nights I miss the, bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo False idols illuminate Every corner of our world You gotta climb high to escape their cry The soft glow of their night There’s an aim to please everyone you know In exchange for yourself They live their lives self-sacrificing With no promise of reward Gotta brace yourself, for the loudest silence that you’ve ever felt A place where time will never slow down Where the night sky will never ever come around Idols calling to be idolized, surprises come as no surprise Longing for the, bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo The crowded streets and the empty eyes, the busy days and the early nights I miss the, bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo Idols calling to be idolized, surprises come as no surprise Longing for the, bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo The crowded streets and the empty eyes, the busy days and the early nights I miss the, bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo Bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo...

Oxidize 07:42
Looking over this flat plain, I see only pain The songbirds sing and crowbirds crow their merry melodies They don’t know where we’ve gone or where we’re going What is waiting at the end, or how we get there All the people I see, carry on believing That there’s a better place, beyond their hurt, beyond injury They just follow those before them who followed those before So let’s stop taking their lead, let’s take this chance to breathe Oxidize, let’s oxidize together We only have this one moment in time The only life in our lifetime Oxidize, let’s oxidize forever If forever is a state of mind, we can be immortal if we try But don’t wait too long Day by day, I feel slower, growing weaker Pretending I’m still young at heart, as if that meant anything I’m a slave to my emotion, to my fears But what’s past is passed, and however long, what’s up ahead is all my own Oxidize, let’s oxidize together We only have this one moment in time The only life in our lifetime Oxidize, let’s oxidize forever If forever is a state of mind, we can be immortal if we try Don’t wait too long, we’re not that strong We will forget how we’re wrong Don’t wait too long Don’t wait too long Don’t wait too long…

The Night 06:15
Digging deep where the sun don’t sleep There’s a meaning you wanna keep It’s a thing for you and only you Ain’t nobody can take it away There’s a light you forge when the world’s asleep There’s a sow you gotta reap So when the darkness comes around You can light and fight your way In a stubborn stand, you stay Be a shelter to their rain Listen to the sound of the falling reign Gotta hold your head up high Be careful not to drown There’s a few who depend on you Guide them to their promised land Where their dreams come alive There ain’t no book or holy guide, you’re taking life for a ride You don’t need to know where you’ll go, just hold on to your hope When the night, comes down on your darkest dreams You can fight for your life but there’s no guarantee When the night, takes hold and it won’t let go You can win or lose but don’t take it as a “no” Don’t run or hide from the falling sun, it hasn’t yet begun Riding high, flying like a kite All bruised and broken down There’s a refuge coming into sight Where you can figure out Where you’re going and where you’ve been Survival ain’t a sin Some don’t make it out alive Believe you will survive There ain’t no book or holy guide, you’re taking life for a ride You don’t need to know where you’ll go, just hold on to your hope When the night, comes down on your darkest dreams You can fight for your life but there’s no guarantee When the night, takes hold and it won’t let go You can win or lose but don’t take it as a “no” Don’t run or hide from the falling sun, it hasn’t yet begun When the night, comes down on your darkest dreams You can fight for your life but there’s no guarantee When the night, takes hold and it won’t let go You can win or lose but don’t take it as a “no” Don’t run or hide from the falling sun, it hasn’t yet begun Don’t hide your life from the spinning world, cos they’re waiting for you

Cabbage 10:51
Stay away from the middle Stay away from the middle Stay away from the middle Stay away from the middle You will never know, when you’re in the middle of the road You will never know, when you’re in the middle of the road You will never know, when you’re in the middle of the road You will never know, when you’re in the middle of the road You will never know, when you’re a cabbage in the middle of the road You will never know, when you’re a cabbage in the middle of the road You will never know, when you’re a cabbage in the middle of the road You will never know, when you’re a cabbage in the middle of the road Cabbage in the middle of the road
