I saw a light in you
On the long ride here
You’d been running down roads
To rot
Under sunlight loud and deep
Now slowing down’s all right
Dig the change in speed
When you mend the core
You mend the core
It feels like my own dream
Though we never got to beat the dice
Now’s the time for our people
Soft rain for the people
I’m on the waiting list
But I just can’t stop
I wanna shine a light
For all those packed on the hill
Who think it’s just getting started
Who want to be kept in this dream
This tunnel I’ve tried
When I tried to leave here
Someday we’ll reach back down deep
But can we afford the time?
Then you’ll decide to change your mind
And never bruise
I’m on the waiting list
But I just can’t stop
I wanna shine a light
For all those packed on the hill
Who are just deaf and mute
Still complaining
While cutting lines
People – vote for a change
People – hop on a plane
People – do want to be kept in this dream
People – don’t ever change
People – hop on the plane
People – and that’s a sunken dream
So here is to the people

TRAINED SISTER
Why the silly talking
When there’s so much to learn
There’s so much to turn you on
When you’ve got nothing to say
You’re so bored in the cafés
By the tryouts with the people
You wouldn’t mind liquefying
And falling off the stage
What’s this feeling? Nothing
You just try to run
Something is about to happen and it may be a stun
All the things you've been taking for granted
They're going down the drain (x2)
Trained sister
Where have you been these nights?
You were out on Suckers’ Lane
With strange things in your pockets
All the things you've been taking for granted
They're going down the drain (x2)
So you may go back and start
Mending your failing hide
‘Cause fixing what’s torn apart
It’s quite something, you’re right
Oh lights out
Time is running out
Oh lights out
May you find it out

MEAN PILOT
Love the small talk and I’m cosy
I’ll never die
You’re painting eyelids on the houses
That were on my way
What I get from these times
Is but a scribbled page
The sinner is on
You could never have a story
Even close to love
SUCH A MEAN PILOT
A MEAN PILOT
(x4)
Check out the local crowd, they say
So maybe I’ll try
You were the only star
Standing on my way
And maybe I know it
And every time you feel love
There’s something
That’s changed from the start
Maybe you feel –somehow – maybe
A long research on mind fuck and abandon
SUCH A MEAN PILOT
A MEAN PILOT
(x4)
Harrowing days are coming
Keep your pace steady
I’m so old
I’ll never die
No following day
After tonight
Years will collapse
It’s a rocky terrain
Harrowing days are coming
Keep your pace steady
I’m so old
I’ll never die
No following day
After tonight
Years will collapse
It’s a rocky terrain

CORPORATE STAR
Talk now – I’m calling while in motion
And I’m flying out
Or shifting gears
There’s no way you can turn me down
Hear my sordid fears
This sound is like the lava pilgrims were seeking
Peering at parking lots
I found dried bodies
At least there were some bodies
Maybe they’re worth the taste
Another ripple on Planet Ghost
Sporting patches of fear
Once I was a baby with tears rolling on
And now I’m with my kingdom peers
Once I even collaborated to be
An asshole on the gallows and then
(Brink time)
I played the villain in the feature films
That were scrolling in your mind
With our mind weapons we’re tougher
Surrender now you know we’re tougher
You’re in a coma and we’re tougher we’re tougher
We’re banging your head against the tricky signs
You’re a burnout and I need you to believe firmly
This handshake’s courageous
Press your knuckles on the consuming convict for days
And lick them, come along
Heard of my Christian slough enough
For all the babies we’re tough enough
Come on sister be a tease
Come on and don’t tease papa for nothing
In your ears for hours
In your brain, humming: “it’s all right”
Shall I keep beating?
Though not literally speaking,
Am I not such a corporate star?
Yeah
A star yeah
So I wake in the night
There’s something that can never grow
I toss in the night
A door – I have been seeking doors
So roll up for mayhem
Roll up for mayhem
Go
It’s not what you’re trying to be
It’s what you live
It’s not what you’re trying to be
It’s what you live
