Under foot and on the edge
He looks into her eyes
Get a new grip on his leash
He cuts you down to size
She stomps around with high heels on
He just wants her to leave
A broken figure at his door
And they begin to breathe

The Temple
03:01

The streets call out the names it has met
And curses those it hasn’t yet
Everyday’s the same as the one before
But worry not, we’ve got an open door
Take the hand, you’re not alone
You’re leaving now, you’re going home
You are one with the temple
The temple’s one with you
The windows there are painterly
A perfect view for all to see
The light shines through as blue and red
What words now have not been said
All of the gods have found their place
And every week they fall from grace
Take the hand, you’re not alone
You’re leaving now, you’re going home
You are one with the temple
The temple’s one with you

I'll Be Gone

You kissed me under stars and moons one dark November night
It landed there upon my cheek I guess it was alright
Your heart was filled with gasoline, your eyes were shining bright
You turned around and walked away 'til I was out of sight
Yesterday, the day before, you were still on my mind
Makes writing that much harder dear, good words is hard to find
So just do me this favour now, why don’t you give me mine
Break my heart and leave me be so I can get to shine
Just say the word goodbye, and I’ll be gone
Ever since I met you on that godforsaken day
I hear your voice inside my head, I don’t know what to say
I can’t leave you behind my dear, but my hair is turning grey
So tell me what I want to hear and I’ll be on my way
You never really needed me couldn’t ever tell me why
You were in no dream or memory, but I could always lie
All you need to do for me is to say your sad goodbye
A word that’s worth its weight in gold, but you were pennies shy
Just say the word goodbye, and I’ll be gone

Hypnotizing Eyes

You’ve got me hypnotized and when I look into those eyes
All I see is black holes
I try to look into your mind to find something good inside
But you don’t have a heart or soul
I’ve left you and I swore that I would not return for more
But I come back to you time and time again
You’ve kicked me to the floor, between this love and war
And I don’t know how this is going to end
You make me feel like a fool
You seem to break all the rules
You make it look so easy for you
You make me feel like a gay
Why do I keep coming back, why don’t you cut me some slack
I don’t know what I am going to do
The skies are turning black and even though my bags are packed
I just keep on coming back to you
You make me feel like a fool
You seem to break all the rules
You make it look so easy for you
You make me feel like a gay
You seem to break all the rules
You make it look so easy for you
You make me feel like a gay

A Night at the Opera

Take your places everybody the show’s about to start
You’ve all had time to learn your part
The curtain’s rising on the stage, the lights are getting bright
The show’s for them but you’re all mine tonight
We’ve all got our costumes and props for today
Our masks are on, we’re someone else for the play
The lines all memorized, we know what to say
We’re all just prisoners
Is it me or just the crowd that you all dare to fear?
Just close your eyes and you can disappear
I am the master and you’re all puppets under my control
From your fake faces to your plastic heart and soul
How do I feel like I’m locked in a cage?
When I’m reading a script and I can’t turn the page
I try to act calm but I end up enraged
We’re all just prisoners of the stage
It’s just a Night at the Opera
Just another Night and the Opera

The Machine
03:43
|
|

The cogs will spin when the day begins
For the fools and the freaks
The shadows in the sky will black out by and by
The names in the streets
But they’ll pull the plug and your eyes grow wide
And you get this feeling that you feel inside
A ticking clock tells you what to say
So you turn and walk the other way
Sparks will fly when the machine starts up
Of blue and white and red
You sip on kerosine from an empty cup
As you drag yourself out of bed
Yesterday and tomorrow too
They’ll get on with or without you
Against a vast and blackened sea
They’ll get you on your bended knee
And you to tell them what you see
And if you’ll cry and if you’ll flee
You scream out above the crowds, “No, it’s not me!”

You don’t like the way he drags his feet when he walks
Or how you smell his coffee when he talks
He eats too loud and he’s not well endowed
He’s got incredibly dirty socks
You know he never thinks of anybody else
Especially when he’s at that other girl’s house
He doesn’t like Star Wars, always down on all fours
He’s left stains on your blouse
You know he thinks of you and nobody else
He’s left inappropriate magazines out on his shelf
He can’t really cook and he’s got hands for hooks
But he’s got you all to himself
~ You really shouldn't have read that, it wasn't a very polite song ~

Stayed home to count the Polaroids
Left the crowd far behind
I listened to my radio
But all I heard was lies
Telephone rang and on the line
A voice came on to say
A blank screen won’t stare back at you
What did you expect today?
You cannot try
Folks telling lies
Nowhere to run
Out of ‘21
In the backseat of a livelihood
Living show to show
Screaming out at my cardboard cutouts
They may never know
I hold on to jump out of my box
Pick up and leave my fear
Is it loud enough for you my friend?
Is it loud enough to hear?
You cannot try
Folks telling lies
Nowhere to run
Out of ‘21
I had a dream once
Fell asleep and left it behind
Pick out my thoughts like I’m counting sheep
The girl I love
Don’t really love her
She knows what to say but she doesn’t say it to me
You cannot try
Folks telling lies
Nowhere to run
Out of ‘21
