TO THE MOON
Let me take you to the moon
Escape the satellites and all their chatter
Everybody's joining soon
Let me take you to the moon
And the journey's just begun
You'll be a millionaire of dust
There's no looking back to earth
There's no telling what you're worth
When the creatures crash and burn
All the sinners running round
Everybody takes their turn
To leave the ground
Everybody seems to think you've made it
They'd like to cash in on all your hard work
Everybody sends their love
At least that's what they're supposed to say
Let me take you to the moon
Who else knows you like I do
We'll shoot down all the demon stars
We have to find the pill of immortality
When the creatures crash and burn
All the sinners running round
Everybody takes their turn
To leave the ground
When the creatures crash and burn
Who will be there when we've all moved on
Shout your name into the sun
And you'll be golden
Let me take you to the moon
Let me take you to the moon
Let me take you to the moon
Let me take you to the moon
Let me take you to the moon
Let me take you to the moon

Take Me With You
04:59
|
|||
When the night comes
Dreams invade
Cities darken
Logic fades
I saw you creeping
On your knees
Under the radar
Beneath the trees
Take me with you
I need to see
We must report
Or we will never be free
Never be free
I saw you leading
An army of shadows
A legion of whispers
An apogee of hope
Let me join you
I want to hear
The sound of the crowd
As they disappear
Night's bright fire
Lights the way
Say your prayers
For the dawning of the day
I saw you hiding
In the grass
Raising armies
In the underpass
We are the users
Our ignorance their bliss
They say they love us
But we must resist
Must resist
I saw you leading
An army of shadows
A legion of whispers
An apogee of hope
This is a story
The author verifies
The reader wonders
If he is still alive

Walking that street just isn't the same
What was once real now seems like a game
I heard a new sound in the cloud
A host of demons singing loud
Painting pictures with their tongues
Of all the things that we got wrong
Of treason and lust
And seasons in Hell
It's going well
Oh it's going well
Now it's too late to be ashamed
You put your life on show
It's too late for us to hide your name
You agreed to the interview
This is The Great Showing
This is The Great Showing
Secondly angels joined the throng
Holding up mirrors for each one
Reflecting the fear
To amplify love
Hope from above
Oh hope from above
Why do you think it's going to be fine
Blocking the truth from your timeline
You can't escape the recording eye
When is the time to do or die
This is The Great Showing
This is The Great Showing
This is our time
This is The Big Reveal
This is The Great Showing
This is The Great Showing
This is our time
This is The Big Reveal

Satellite Night
03:21
|
|||
Don't smoke on the plastic grass
You will be seen
And you will not pass
Everybody wants a piece of you
Read the signs
Then destroy the proof
I'm not the person
That I introduced you to
I'll skim your life
Then I'll feed it back to you
I'll help you lose yourself
In everything you do
Same day delivery
You just have to choose
Sit back, relax,
Enjoy the remote view
Let go your mind
And lose yourself
And lose yourself
In the Whispering Grove
And the Telephone Trees
In the Radio Sunset
And the Satellite Night
The Happiness Club
Is full up to the brim
There is a loophole
That will not let you in
Do you want me to watch
While you drown in your own sin
Feedback is ubiquitous
In systems of control
I'll shout your name
And you shout it back to me
Error correct
Error correct
Error correct
Error correct
Error correct
Error correct
In the Whispering Grove
And the Telephone Trees
In the Radio Sunset
And the Satellite Night
In the Whispering Grove
And the Telephone Trees
In the Radio Sunset
And the Satellite Night
In the Whispering Grove
And the Telephone Trees
In the Radio Sunset
And the Satellite Night

Opening Scene
02:46
|
|||
I awoke to a terrific glamour in the streets
The crowd was silent in your wake
The loudest siren on the block
And the billboards screamed your name
As you processed in ecstasy
I surrendered to your cold display
Your lucky legs and longing hair
I spied upon your cryptic lips
And peeled the painted faces from your fingertips
Our wild, impatient days began to jump the line and rush ahead into the dark's embrace
Where we signed away our mortal rights
To taste the liquor of the night
Revenge season was in full claque
And together we killed history
I danced on time bombs
To make you care
You pushed aside the surly shadows
Of clicking tongues
To show the world
I licked your powdered cheek
To keep the high
While you described infinity
Though some would dare
To wonder why
We claimed the fool's divinity

Splinters
03:12
|
|||
I took the splinters out of your eyes
Fed the machine that kept you alive
Burned all the winters in your old soul
You made the headlines move to the side
Tripping the wires on all I desire
Pulling the music from my cold soul
See all the aliens in the yard
Trying to capture all that we have
Everyone sees it in their own way
I cut the strings that were tied to your arms
Flayed all the demons that were keeping you calm
Letting your rage have it's own say
You slit the eyes that were watching me fail
Clipped the wires that were stealing my brain
Letting me wake up to the bright day
See all the aliens in the yard
They come in peace but we're finding it hard
To see life in a new way

Flutter
05:52
|
|||
You were late to the party
No-one noticed
You cling to the spires
For fear of blowing away
Every foolish dream
Comes back to haunt you
Mistaken for a ghost
Day after day
You walk through the world
And you wonder
Was it meant to be
Are we even here
And the heartstrings flutter
And the heartstrings flutter
And the heartstrings flutter
And the heartstrings flutter
And the heartstrings flutter
And the heartstrings flutter
I lost your face
On the carousel
Searched the rooftops
For your smile
Hit all the bars
While shouting your name
Stopping the clocks
And the cars
Saturday you left forever
Tuesday you returned
Let's see this through
Together
Let's agree
Not to get burned
And the heartstrings flutter
And the heartstrings flutter
And the heartstrings flutter

Over
03:08

Tears in the cloud
Show me the sky
Everything passes by
Humans are fools
Gods are no better
Animals cleave to the gene
When this is over
When this is over
When this is over
Where will you be
The statues watch me
As I leave the show
Nobody knows where we go
When this is over
When this is over
When this is over
Where will you be
Will you listen
Can you hear me
Won't you listen
Understand me
When this is over
When this is over
When this is over

The Future Set
06:13
|
|||
Are you just floating in space
Reliving moments of grace
Are you just letting it happen
I've got my issues too
Let's get out of here
To some painted places
To some gaudy haunts
To some smokey spaces
Put your hands up for me
Show me all the feels
Let's tell a different story
Where the good times are real
Good times are real
Let it all hang out
Let it all hang out
Let it all hang out
Let it all hang out
The stars are flying away
We're zipping by just as fast
Let's get it on like before
But this time we know the score
No more golden rules
No more teacher's pet
We are the rebel rebels
We are the future set
There's fighting to be done
The path remains obscure
Let's write "love" on the walls
"L'amour" sur les murs
We are the future set
We are the future set
Let it all hang out
Let it all hang out
We are the future set
We are the future set
Let it all hang out
Let it all hang out
