I wanna tell you there's a really good reason*
Why I came home wasted in the middle of the night
A tiny kingdom at the bottom of the trees
Where I was always a winner and I was usually right

Oh, you can watch it when you get a bit older
But for now in the bad bits, I should cover your eyes
She painted pictures with the tips of her fingers

It's been a blast
But we've been caught
Packing up your suitcase
Hard day, long face
Get the story right
Get the story right
Get the story down

the quiet kid has come to stay
what do you say?
he says I'm lonely, says I'm lonely

I'll tell you everything I know
what do you know?
he says I'm hopeless, says I'm hopeless

I'm on your team
But I never know when you're not
You never wear shoes without your socks
You never tell anything to me

I'm on your side
But only for a while, of course
You never use words you can't afford

Breakneck speed tying up your hands
Cause you're landing back on your feet
You know what I mean

Vowel change
I remember when our voices used to sound the same
Now we just translate

This is skin
You can wrap all of your arms and legs in
An address that you know
An envelope unfolds

I'm writing to catch up
We were small when we last met
But the letters are unread

(Operator, get me the President of the world. This is an emergency.)

Do your neighbour a favour.
Collect their morning paper
And clip out all the sad bits, no one wants to read that.
Let them take their kids to school and the zoo in peace.

When you're standing near,

See the ruins of the old world below
That's what our ancestors left us.
Our robot masters will know
How to clean this mess up
And build a better world
For man and machine alike
For the boys and the girls
Who are slaves building spaceships at night

spend all our Sundays in a row
ten feet from Chinatown, like it's dead
but we know
'cause when he put you to bed
your great-grandfather always said
wasting is an art
like the nights we spent in backs of cars

With a heart-attack on your plate
You were looking back on your days
How you spent them all in a blur
When they asked if you were for sure

Let the sugar melt down your throat
Cos you know it's sweet getting old
With a lollipop and a robe

call it off, keep it in
grind it down to medicine
(oooooh)

especially anything
keep it in your first aid kit
(oooooh)

gone to the coast
gone to the coast where I let my hair down
(down)
out on the beach
out on the beach where I let my ship sail
(sail)

I am gonna be ready
Still number one
Never let anybody touch you
Cold, colder than anyone
You feel it all a moment later than I do

And every time I drive in the city,
I think see you turning around

Pack your rations, pack a watch
Change of clothes and a face cloth
Meet me where, your mother lies
We'll dig graves on both her sides
And lay ourselves inside
A thousand suns will set and rise

Our hair tangled up in hers

I threw darts at a spinning globe
Swapping out passport photos
I walked west to the setting sun
Every single step I grow another second young

All my hair grows in
Wrinkles leave my skin
But still don't fade

I got a place in the Arctic Circle
I've got a place that I painted white
I've got a home in the salty ocean
So right, so right

All of the lions in your bedroom
All of the tigers we ignored
Pulling the wool down over your eyes

We've got our tracks covered
Thanks to your older brother
It's not the moonlight that sets me off
It's not the morning that makes me scoff

It's my impeccable disorder
Where I keep on falling for her
It's not the way my mother talks

I would've gone back home
I would've gone back home
It's bad enough you're here
And it's worse that you've come along

Paper walls unfold as you'd expect
The house that built a home for architects

You know you should
Cause its been a while
Every swede in Stockholm
Thinks your in his ride

Its in my blood and my guilty smile
In my school of thought we like to try and call it out

All the boys who called their mothers on that day
Were no tough bunch but they had the nerves to go and say
That all your secrets were drowned
with the pioneers who were flooded from this town
They packed their bags only moments too late
With the pounding waves crashing up against the weakened water gates

Cause dire times call for dire faces

A toast to the last of a dying breed
They're crawling back to bed
They're falling back to sleep

A chill touches the base of your neck
Who'd call by at this hour?
Who's standing at my step?

The ocean is incredible deep, from what I'm told
It's an endless body and my heart runs cold
I'm standing still, I'm standing

Somewhere in the back of my mind comes a thought
Like the flash of a camera your parents bought
I'm standing still, I'm standing still

Through the wire to your door, through the wire
Through the wire to your door, to your door

I'm killing time until I see her
So many days but I don't care
I'm sleeping alone, even the warm night's cold
But I got her picture and I'm always coming home

Liberated, I am liberated enough
I am taking one last look as I leave it to rust
'cause it seems to me
I am just another jagged gentlemen we're both cut of the same stuff
Are you thinking what I am thinking of

Celebrated, I celebrate it enough
I take a deep deep breath

(Oh!
Give us your vote
Give us your vote
If you know
What's good for you
Oh!
Give us your vote
Give us your vote
