WARSAW
I was there in the backstage when first light came around
I grew up like a changeling to win the first time around
I can see all the weakness - I can pick all the faults
I concede all the faith tests - just to stick in your throats
3-1-G --
I hung around in your soundtrack to mirror all that you've done
To find the right side of reason - to kill the three lies for one
I can see all the cold facts - I can see through your eyes
All this talk made no contact no matter how hard I tried
3-1-G --
I can still hear the footsteps - I can see only walls
I still don't make no contact, with no hearing at all
I just see contradiction - had to give up the fight
Just to live in the past tense - to make believe you were right
3-1-G --
LEADERS OF MEN
Born from some mother's womb - just like any other room
Made a promise for a new life - made a victim out of your life
When your time's on the door and it drips to the floor
And you feel you can touch - all the noise is too much
And the seeds that are sown are no longer your own
Just a minor operation - to force a final ultimatum
A thousand words are spoken loud - reach the dumb to fool the crowd
When you walk down the street and the sound's not so sweet
And you wish you could hide - maybe go for a ride
To some peep show arcade where the future's not made
A nightmare situation - infiltrate imagination
Smacks of past holy wars - fight a war with broken laws
The leaders of men - born out of your frustration
The leaders of men - just a strange infatuation
The leaders of men - made a promise for a new life
No saviour for our sakes - to crush the internees of hate
Self-induced manipulation - to crush all thoughts of mass salvation
DIGITAL
Feel it closing in, feel it closing in
A fear of whom I call, every time I call
I feel it closing in, I feel it closing in
Day in, day out --
I feel it closing in, as patterns seem to form
I feel it cold and warm, as shadows start to fall
I feel it closing in, I feel it closing in
Day in, day out --
I'd have the world around to see just whatever happens
Stood by the door alone, and then it's fade away
I see you fade away, don't ever fade away
I need you here today, don't ever fade away
Fade away --
AUTOSUGGESTION
He-ere, he-ere - everything is by design
Everything is by design
Here, here, everything is kept inside
So take a chance and step outside
Your hopes, your dreams, your paradise
Heroes, idols cracked like ice
He-ere, he-ere - everything is kept inside
So take a chance and step outside
Feel frustration face to face
A point of view creates more waves
So take a chance and step outside
Take a chance and step outside
Lose some sleep and say you tried
Meet frustration face to face
A point of view creates more waves
So lose some sleep and say you tried --
Say you've tried - say you tried --
Yeah, lose some sleep and say you tried --
TRANSMISSION
Radio - live transmission
Radio - live transmission
Listen to the silence, let it ring on
Eyes, dark grey lenses, frightened of the sun
We would have a fine time living in the night
Left to blind destruction, waiting for our sight
We would go on as though nothing was wrong
And hide from these days to remain all alone
Staying in the same place, just staring at the tides
Touching from a distance, further all the time
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio --
I could call out when the going gets tough
The things that we learned are no longer enough
No language, just sound, that's all we need know
To synchronize love to the beat of the show
And we could daaaaaance
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio --
SHE'S LOST CONTROL
Confusion in her eyes that says it all - she's lost control
And she's clinging to the nearest passer-by - she's lost control
And she gave away the secrets of her past and said: I've lost control again.
And of a voice that told her when and where to act
She said: I've lost control again.
And she turned to me and took me by the hand and said: I've lost control again
And how I'll never know just why or understand she said: I've lost control
again
And she screamed out, kicking on her side and said: I've lost control again
And seized up on the floor - I thought she'd die
She said: I've lost control
She's lost control again - she's lost control --
Well I had to phone her friend to state her case and say she's lost control
again
And she showed up all the errors and mistakes and said: I've lost control again
But she expressed herself in many different ways until she lost control again
And walked upon the edge of no escape and laughed: I've lost control
She's lost control again - she's lost control --
I could live a little better with the myths and the lies
When the darkness broke in I could of broke down and cried
I could live a little in a wider line
When the change is gone - when the urge is gone
To lose control
When the feelings gone
INCUBATION
(instrumental)
DEAD SOULS
Someone take these dreams away
That point me to another day
A duel of personalities
That stretch all true reality
That keep calling me - they keep calling me
Keep on calling me - they keep calling me
When figures from the past stand tall
And mocking voices ring the hall
Imperialistic house of prayer
Conquistadors who took their share
That keep calling me - they keep calling me
Keep on calling me - they keep calling me
ATMOSPHERE
Walk - in silence
Don't walk away - in silence
See the danger - always danger
Endless talking - life rebuilding
Don't walk away
Walk - in silence
Don't turn away - in silence
Your confusion - my illusion
Worn like a mask of self-hate
Confronts and then dies
Don't walk away
People like you find it easy
Naked to see - walking on air
Hunting by rivers, through the streets, every corner
Abandoned too soon
Set down with due care
Don't walk away - in silence
Don't walk away
LOVE WILL TEAR US APART
When routine bites hard, and ambitions are low
And resentment rides high, but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again --
Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed - our respect run so dry?
Yet theres still this appeal that we've kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again --
Love, love will tear us apart again --
You cry out in your sleep - all my failings expose
There's a taste in my mouth, as desperation takes hold
Is it something so good just can't function no more
When love, love will tear us apart again --
NO LOVE LOST
So long sitting here, didn't hear the warning
Waiting for the tape to run
We've been moving round in different situations
Knowing that the time would come
Just to see you torn apart
Witness to your empty heart
I need it - I need it - I need it --
Through the wire screen, the eyes of those standing outside looked in at her as
into the cage of some rare creature in a zoo. In the hand of one of the
assistants she saw the same instrument which they had that morning
inserted deep into her body. She shuddered instinctively. No life at all in the house of dolls.
No love lost. No love lost
You've been seeing things in darkness, not in learning
Hoping that the truth will pass
No life underground, wasting never changing
Wishing that this day won't last
To never see you show your age
To watch until the beauty fades
I need it - I need it - I need it --
FAILURES
Don't speak of safe messiahs - a failure of the modern man
To the centre of our life's desires - as a whole not an also ran
Love in a hollow field - break the image of your father's son
Drawn to an inner feel - he was thought of as the only one
He was thought of as the only one
He no longer denies - all the failures of the modern man
No, no, no, he can't pick sides - sees the failures of the modern man
Wise words and sympathy - tell the story of our history
New strength gives a real touch - sense and reason make it all too much
With a strange fatality - broke the spirits of a lesser man
Some other race could see - in his way he was the only one
In his way he was the only one
He no longer denies - all the failures of the modern man
No, no, no, he can't pick sides - sees the failures of the modern man
Now that it's right to decide - in his time he was a total man
Taken from Caesar's side - kept in silence just to prove who's wrong
He no longer denies - all the failures of the modern man
No, no, no, he can't pick sides - sees the failures of the modern man
All the failures of the modern man
GLASS
Hearts fail - young hearts fail
Anytime - pressurised
Overheat - overtired
Take it quick - take it neat
Clasp your hands - touch your feet
Take it quick - take it neat --
Hearts fail - young hearts fail
Anytime - wearing down
On the run - underground
Put your hand where it's safe
Leave your hand where it's safe
Do it again
Do it again and again and again --
Anytime - that's your right
Told ya we should do it again
Overheat - overtired
Don't you wish to do it again --
Anytime - that's all right
Don't you wish to do it again --
I bet you wish you do it again
Do it again --
FROM SAFETY TO WHERE...?
No, I don't know just why
No, I don't know just why
Which way to turn
I've got this ticket to use
Through childlike ways, rebellion and crime
To reach this point and retreat back again
The broken hearts, all the wheels that are turned
The memory's scarred and the vision is blurred
No, I don't know which way
Don't know which way to turn
The best possible use
Just passing through 'till we reach the next stage
But just to where - well it's all been arranged
Just passing through but the break must be made
Should we move on or stay safely away?
NOVELTY
When the people listen to you, don't you know it means a lot
Cause you've got to work so hard for everything you've got
Can't rest on your laurels now - not when you've got none
You'll find yourself in the gutter, right back where you came from
Someone told me being in the know is the main thing
We all need the security that belonging brings
Can't stand on your own in these times against all the odds
You'll just fall behind like all the other sods
You slap our backs and pretend you knew
About all the things that we were gonna do
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do when it's over?
You're all on your own now - don't you think that it's a shame
But you're the only one responsible to take the blame
So what ya gonna do when the novelty has gone?
Yeah what ya gonna do when the novelty has gone?
You slap our backs and pretend you knew
About all the things that we were gonna do
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do when it's over?
KOMAKINO
This is the hour when the mysteries emerge
A strangeness so hard to reflect
A moment so moving goes straight to your heart
The vision that's never been met
The attraction is held like a wake deep inside
Something I'll never forget
The pattern is set, the reaction will start
Complete but rejected too soon
Looking ahead in the grip of each tear
Recalls the life that we knew
The shadow that stood by the side of the road
Always reminds me of you
How can I find the right way to control
All the conflicts inside, all the problems beside
As the questions arise, and the answers don't fit
Into my way of things, into my way of things
THESE DAYS
Morning seems strange, almost out of place
Searched hard for you and your special ways
These days - these days
Spent all my time - learnt to kill is hard
Took threats and abuse till I lived apart
Can you stay - for these days?
These days - these days
Use outward deception to get away
Broken heart romance to make it pay
These days - these days
We'll dredge through it all - this the the modern age
Take care of it all now these debts are paid
Can you stay - for these days?
