Buzz AldrinI need a bit of orbit now so beam me up
I have to cover vast distances oh, never to stop
I'll be ground into a poor old limping crawling thing
Can you take me up way up, deep deep beyond the stratosphere
Step inside our sleek efficient space machine
We got all the spacious things you'll ever need
Comfort guaranteed, just leave your earthliness be
Call out KidsIt's been a long time, baby baby baby
Since I called you out
This is a call-out culture, they will snatch your platform without a doubt (and what's that about)
But don't worry baby baby baby
This ain't politics
I'm just calling out love, calling out your name
So it sticks, cause I love you to bits
ChoicesChoises, it's always what you make it
But then you and I're the same
Choices, peculiar how you throw them in my face
while you abstain
This is all about equality
I'm sure you've heard of the term somewhere
No less, you’ve made your own reality
No need to deal with me, oh
Cmon TalkI been thinking a lot since the end
of our family affair
The things that went wrong, in the manor of speaking
I could have been more forthcoming
about the things I needed to say
but you seemed to be talking to someone else
(altogether now)
Come AroundCome around with me
Stop right there, brother
Halt your sweet self for a minute now
Noone said one word about letting go so slow down, slow down
I keep searching for timber but everyone gets on board with me now
When this boat sets sail, I'll make sure you'll make the count
ControlHave you ever?
Ever had to stand and just watch
while your life was like a game on your x-box?
Welcome to the club, I'm the president (incumbent)
We're almost like a nation of fools
Where public spending's cut down to naught
We're clutching at invisible straws
But noone's here to tell where they lead to, how to tell us who's in
Don't Let Me GoI feel like a worker bee, sitting all alone in here in this long deserted hive
All relations gone to pieces, I drove the people close to me miles away out of my sight
And now I'm like a naked man standing in the desert, trying to sell a Messiah for silver
Please hold me back, don't let me go
When I go crazy, don't let me go
All of my bridges are crumbling to dust
And you might be the only one that I can trust
ESIWALKWork bent my back all wrong and left my fingers frozen
Hard tides have hit my coasts, I'm walking in a barren haze
All might just fall apart, we're trapped in a ship, sinking
No use but to sing the blues and make the end sound good,
Lala lalalalala lalaa
Ive been walking alone ever
Ever since I was a little kid
Everything Will Be AlrightEverything will be alright this morning
Everything will be alright tonight
Everything will be alright this morning
Everything's gonna be alright
I caught some flak and it near had me buried
I stank of failure and it did me in
I was ready to crawl down in a bucket
FalterWhat a man could do, faced with people who
Told him he could never go wrong
Bring the challenges on, he could handle
anything that got thrown his way
Never be duped by the voices in your head that say you can't
Never get knocked down by your adversaries
Never accept anything less than the best, be true to your needs
Fly awayChorus 1:
Fly away in the back of a second-hand shop
Draw the curtains and wake up in 1968 or 9
Fly away on the wings of a getaway plane
Fly away on your own and let your mind bring forward
every little thing that you are
These shakes are prying me loose
Good IntentionsLine them up against the factory wall.
Burn down all the inconvenience stores.
Smash the anchors back into the boats.
These people weren't invited by the host.
Different strokes for difficult folks.
In the Street Where the World Passes Me ByI'm in the street where the world passes me by (going faster)
Smack in the middle, but so much on the outside
And everybody has a story to tell (all lifelong)
In languages I can't dream of understanding
Americana cats, with leather jackets in the sun
Making out with the burqa-clad madonnas
The sweet perfume that strides by on gracious feet
Little GhostYou sketched yourself into our lives
So suddenly into our lives
So swiftly departed
Just a quick shadow
Had too much to do to stay
In a different sphere, far away
Come back to us
My WaveHaven't you seen what's happening?
All over the world it seems
People stopped listening
My wave has gone away
Folks are content to shout at
Whomever presently
Features on their screen
And my wave is far away
On TimeI got a
Fresh start and I'm on a mission
To draw a sketch of the place I call my home
In colors rarely used before
Bling bling in a crowded bus stop
Equality, while differences increase
I stand on the side with my glasses on
Prayer to a LandlordSmog is drifting aimlessly over these crowded streets
Gloomy houses do their best to keep people in
Dark days approaching, the brick lanes get lethal
Under cheap signs in cardboard I see faces shine
With struggles and pride
Keep it all, keep it alive
I understand how you're thinking
Put Your Mojo OnYou've been providing gold for years, for everybody but yourself
Now turn your focus inwards
Cause your self is gonna need your help
Throw out a lifeline
Grab that mother and drag your soul ashore
Turn on your headlights
Hey, show us what you got in store
Say It Isn't SoBaby say it isn't so
Every atom hurts like hell
My body is an empty shell
Is my heart gonna beat?
Is my heart gonna beat again?
All I know
Love don't always make much sense
Space In My HeartFloating right by me in a velvet dress
She seems so totally out of the place in outer space
I must be delusional, a real head case
because the lunar surface is the wrong address in such a dress
But i saw her eyes, she was real, was she wearing that dress just for me
and i'm all inside out now
there is a space in my heart
StreetlightsTreacherous streetlights
Call for the blinders
Blurring the dark sides of
The rule of supply and demand
I'll never be streetwise
but signs of the times, I know
Will reveal themselves in beastly shapes
SundayThis tiny flat is too big without her
I've got no life in here when she's not around anymore
It's Sunday evening and the rain is pouring
I talk to the streets but they tell me nothing tonight
Tonight
She just had to leave
And she could not tell me why
Something 'bout a place she had to go on her own
The Morning ComesAnd when the morning comes, you got a
Thick head and your thoughts go home
What did you think late last night?
Too busy burning brighter than bright to think?
You felt luminous like a star, had no
life but right where you are
Outta sight, outta mind
All worries left behind
VisceralIs it something visceral?
The way we're deprived, of basic ways to define
Ourselves is tragical
You take it so hard that we just don't look the part
But I believe that we can change it
This incessant hopping of the stereotypes
I think you're down right lying
If you claim to know people you've never met
Writing On The WallI saw the writing on the wall
I wrote it myself
Can't trust the piecemakers anymore
I saw the truth right in the eye
in the mirror baby
Still hanging vertical on the wall
Why you writing like you're still in school, girl?
You BelongYou might try and run and get in front of it
But you will never survive
We gotta wait for the freight train to pass, and
while trying to stay alive, we die
These tracks separating us, humanity aside
The only way is to levitate, break the slate cause it will never get clean
Push and tug at the barriers
