What if we only get one shot?
Are you happy with the life you bought?
What if we all come back one day?
Don't you wanna write your way?
Trying to fake it only works
On a parallel universe
Fighting to break it only works
On a parallel universe
(Spoken Word):
We met by the side of the road
While hitching a ride to Valhalla
He asked me to sing him a song
With eyes like dark empty caverns
So I howled like a wolf in the night
His grimace grew bigger and nastier
The promise of riches and fame
Fuelled the fire that roars in my belly
I laughed and walked towards the light
I laughed and walked towards the light
Trying to fake it only works
On a parallel universe
Fighting to break it only works
On a parallel universe

Sometimes I feel a little weird
Can't help but wonder
Is it me? Could it be them?
In a world so strange
Where reptiles steer
Death stars and moonbeams
Building pyramids in jubilee
Tell your martyrs
Their god is dead
Night falls
The fiends come out to play
Magic mushroom lollipops
With gingerbread men
Moonshine and sunbeams
Singing lullabies to fallen heroes
Tell your martyrs
Their god is dead
What comes around goes around...

Tripping On Rainbows
03:37

I've been down the hard road
I've been down and out
I've been tripping on rainbows
I can't figure out
Why you would run
Away from here
These scars we share
Won't disappear
A wandering star
Trapped in a haze
Of spinning tops
Fell off the page
Whose side are you on?

Hey big spender
What you ever done?
Neighbourhood pets
And drive-by threats
Haunt plastic roadside Marys
Silhouettes of castanets
And raves with crash test dummies
Hey big spender
What you ever done?
Adult head above your bed
With spinning baby mobiles
Pirouettes round gangster bets
And offshore racketeering
Hey big spender
What you ever done?
Slandering on the dance floor
Riot! On the dance floor
Vampires in masquerade
Slandering on the dance floor
Riot! On the dance floor
Whores dripped in marmalade

Dance the night away sweetheart
Another fairy tale unravels at the stroke of 111
Om Namah Shivaya
Run, run, run
Chemical breakdown baby
Did you fall in love
What's the shakedown baby?
Breath under water
Fly on weekends
Schizoid Man
Breath under water
Bury your secrets
Schizoid Man
Dance
Dance the night away sweetheart
Chemical breakdown baby
Did you fall in love
What's the shakedown baby?
Breathe under water
Fly on weekends
Schizoid Man
Breathe under water
Bury your secrets
Schizoid Man
Breathe under water...

I've been lying awake
To myself forever
Who are you?
When did you go through?
I'm running in
And running out
Of excuses now
With thirteen cartoon bullets
Running circles round my head
You've been trying
To hide the tracks with makeup
Who are you?
We all just flow through
I'm running in
And running out
Of excuses now
With thirteen cartoon bullets
Running circles round my head

Wake up with the morning light
It casts a shadow on the dreams
You try so hard to fight
Get up man the coffee's burned
Get out of bed
The coffee's burned a hole inside
And you lose your mind
Got swept away with time
While all the ants are hard at work
All the ants are hard at work
Build it row by row
Build it row by row
Kill your brothers
Rape your daughters
In the name love
Hallelujah
While all the ants are hard at work
All the ants are hard at work
Build it row by row
Build it row by row
Sleep tight kiss the kids goodnight
Please don't let the bedbugs bite

If I could swim
Under your skin
And turn you on
Would it sound the alarm?
They'll tear you apart
Doll face
Plastic heart
Snap off your legs
And throw you to the dogs
Red sun
Have you had enough?
Tired eyes
Pursuing moustache villains
Through stereoscopes of white noise
Wardrobe misfits
Graveyard mosh pits
And sunny days are gone
Red sun
Have you had enough?
Woke up in a daydream
With black market veiled gypsies
Paint the sky
Carve the seas
While you're sound asleep
Red sun
Have you had enough?

Daydreamer

The rambling is over so rest your head
The stars are floating on riverbeds
Chasing clouds
Running wild to the rhythm of her song
You made it
Really made it
Daydreamer
Hide your love away
Daydreamer
Won't you come around some day
This movie keeps showing
Rewind the tape
The skyline is glowing
A purple haze
Chasing clouds
Running wild to the rhythm of her song
You made it
Really made it
Daydreamer
Hide your love away
Daydreamer
Won't you come around some day

Be careful what you wish for
It might come back to haunt you
Be weary of your saviour
Her loch ness tales of triumph
Slipping under her spell
Riddled by your being
A black cloud hangs over
This technicolor dream
There's a river in your mind
Where thoughts flow free
Helping you to find your way
Back home
Distraction invades your day
A dissonance that echoes
Past the hills and far away
A plague upon your people
Slipping under her spell
Riddled by your being
A black cloud hangs over
This technicolor dream
There's a river in your mind
Where thoughts flow free
Helping you to find your way
Back home
