Track Name: A Pretty Red
Nevermind ATM, here I am a precious gem
Nevermind thorn and stem, here I am a precious gem
A precious gem

I’m a fire to release you
I’m a fire in a pretty red
I move, I got somewhere to be
I move

She’s enormous

Nothing that you see here is pretty
Nothing you see is complete
I’m a fire, to release you
I’m a fire in a pretty red
A fire, to complete you
A fire in a pretty red
A pretty red

Nevermind ATM, here I am a precious gem
Nevermind thorn and stem, here I am a precious gem

A precious gem
Precious gem
Thorn and stem
You’re corn and wine
But you sold so cheap
You sold so cheap

I’m a fire to release you
I’m a fire in a pretty red
I move I got somewhere to be
I move

Nothing that you see here is pretty
Nothing you see is complete
I’m a fire, to release you
I’m a fire in a pretty red
A fire, to complete you
A fire in a pretty red
A pretty red
Track Name: Stability
I sip my wine
More and more I make me new
And more and more
Fucked again, returned again
Fucked again, returned again
Fucked again, returned again
I sip my wine
Don't ever don't they'll follow through
don't ever doubt
Fucked again, returned again
Fucked again, returned again
Fucked again, returned again
So we share a terrible brain
A disc with no rays
So we share a terrible brain
The great diverge
So, goodnight boys
Do you fear my - ?
Yeah good night boys
Do you fear my - ?
Make it feel so good to go so fast, make me believe I could go so fast
Oh hey - do you fear my - ?
Stability
Fear my
Stability
I take my time
More and more I make me new
And more
tricked again, concealed again
tricked again, concealed again
tricked again, concealed again
So we share a terrible brain
The great diverge
Maybe I'm finally at home in a body
Finally a form I can breath
Finally, a thought,
I could on moving long enough
Against all advice to keep on living
against all advice to keep on moving
against all advice to keep on living
to keep on living
to keep on living

So, goodnight boys
Do you fear my - ?
Yeah good night boys
Do you fear my - ?
Make it feel so good to go so fast, make me believe I could go so fast
Oh hey - do you fear my - ?
Stability
Fear my
Stability

Track Name: Signs of Life
Did we go too far?
(Or did we not have blood to see it through?)
Did we hit too hard
(Or do we not believe in what we do?)
Is it good for burning?
(Good for burning)
Is it good for burning?

(Good for burning)
(Find that seed it’s everything you want to / plant that seed it’s everything you wanted to)
I’m an expensive date / it’s justified / I bring the light
I’m an expensive date / it’s justified / I always find / I always find a
Sign of life
(nobody else, nobody else?)

Track Name: Flash
Can you believe it?
They don’t think it’s a problem
Can you believe it?
There’s so much more to come

Can you believe it?
We didn’t think it was breathing
Still you’re painted white
you're punching down
you’re punching punching punching punching down
We’re not a flash
behind your eye
We’re not a dress to wear
Flash
We’re far more elegant
We’re not a spark in city hall
We’re not that dress
Flash
We’re far more elegant
We’re far far more elegant
We’re far more elegant
Far far more elegant
Far far more elegant
Can you believe it?
They don’t think it’s a problem
Can you believe
There will be no more cake
Can you see?
The apple is a worm
Something strange
it’s getting stranger
something hard
it’s getting harder
something strange
it’s getting stranger
something hard
it’s getting harder
We’re not a flash
behind your eye
We’re not a dress to wear
Flash
We’re far more elegant
We’re not a spark in city hall
We’re not that dress
Flash
We’re far more elegant

We’re far far more elegant
We’re far more elegant
Far far more elegant
Far far more elegant
Track Name: The Vital Cord
In the same way water goes from a liquid to a vapor,
Capital at one point appears as money, then commodity, then production
Money
Commodities
Production
Cloth, Coffee, Sugar, Insurance
Land
Vital Cord, Still Attached
Track Name: Lucky
I only gotta get right once
I only gotta be lucky one time
I only gotta get right once
I only gotta be lucky one time
But I am no night bird
I only sing for the new way
I am no night bird
A silence / Before I play my part
A cool caress / And then I press the key to start
Momentum / Accelerate the pace
Momentum / A cure, the world, almost living
Earthquake makes machine run
Earthquake makes machine run
I only gotta get right once
I only gotta be lucky one time
I only gotta get right once
I only gotta be lucky one time
But I am no night bird
I only sing for the new way
I am no night bird

Lacking focus
It devours itself
A sorcerer, seated
To devour itself
To devour itself
Momentum / Accelerate the center
A spectrum / A plea, the world, almost living
Earthquake makes machine run
Earthquake makes machine run
Earthquake makes machine run
I only gotta get right once
I only gotta be lucky one time
I only gotta get right once
I only gotta be lucky one time
I am no night bird
I only sing for the new way
I am no night bird
Track Name: American Sound
I split in two / A big question mark
Hit a nail on the head and the blood runs out
I split in two / A big question mark
Hit a nail on the head and the blood runs out
But I guess I'll wait until I'm invited
I guess I'll wait until you're all excited
The backlash / I see what you mean
A round of applause
Steel caress my ear
American Sound
Steel caress my ear
I split in two
A big question mark
X marks my fall 1-2-3
Where were we all? 1-2-3
I split in two

A big question mark
X marks my fall 1-2-3
Where were we all? 1-2-3
But is it a hell or is it a pleasure?
is it a hell or is it a pleasure?
Depends on how far back we measures
A round of applause
Steel caress my ear
American Sound
Track Name: I Wanna Be Adored
I don't need to sell my soul
He's already in me
I want to be adored
I want to be adored
I don't have to sell my soul
He's already in me
I want to be adored
I want to be adored
You adore me
I wanna...
Track Name: Both Eyes
My gift is impossible
My gift knows its strength
My gift is a ransom
My gift has contour
My gift is combustion
My gift is the longest, repulsive, infectious equation
I see I fail to convince
I see I'm not quite solid
I see I fail to convince
I see
So I spit in both eyes
and it was televised
I break both both knees and still say
Please please please
I spit in both eyes

Like it was prophesied
I spread disease
and still say please please please
Please please please
(I found you out, I cannot ever lose / I found you out, in the fields)
My gift is alone
My gift is salt and sand
My gift knows its worth
My gift makes it worth
My gift knows every step to tear you down
I see I fail to convince
I see I'm not quite solid
I see I fail to convince
I see
So I spit in both eyes / and it was televised
I break both both knees and still say / Please please please
I spit in both eyes / Like it was prophesied
I spread disease / and still say please please please
Please please please
(I found you out, I cannot ever lose / I found you out, in the fields)
