NEMO - CAR CRASH EYES
03:54
|

Somewhere in this place, I've got a heartbeat in a cage
Could I be nowhere? Could I be nowhere?
I could not erase the slender memory of her face
You'll never know her, you'll never know her
If i was a satellite, then i could try to watch you from the skies
You could make me paralysed, laughing in my face
There's something in her head
She's ripping up the sheets
I look into your Car Crash Eyes
I try to run away, I try to get to sleep
I look into your Car Crash Eyes
Leave it all today, there's far too much to push away
It's not essential, You're not essential
Free to walk away, she never ventured anyway
And now it's over, It's never over
But if i was a satellite, then i could try and watch you from the skies
She could make me paralysed,
Making every face an order
There's something in her head
She's ripping up the sheets
I look into your Car Crash Eyes
I try to run away, I try to get to sleep
I look into your Car Crash Eyes
I could run away tonight, do something great tonight

ERASE/ESCAPE
03:58
|

Jenny was frightened, escape was not so easy
She could not drag herself away
There's no need to be foolish, control is not the answer
Use other things to make her stay
And when she reaches out beyond the normal boundaries
This is the dawning of the essence of her lifetime
Someone will tell her to..
Erase, she said.
A necessary evil to escape it all
Now nobody will ever need to know
Disown the asylum, expel all foreign objects
Someone within will take your place
Crank up the attention you get so used to losing
So many things can be arranged
And when the moon is on a different kind of journey in her mind
Then someone else can help...
Erase, she said.
A necessary evil to escape it all
And wipe the distant memory from inside her shell
She'll never have to answer to herself at all
Now nobody will ever need to know
And when she reaches out beyond the normal boundaries
This is the dawning of the essence of her lifetime
Someone will tell her to...
Erase, she said.
A necessary evil to escape it all
And wipe the distant memory from inside her shell
She'll never have to answer to herself at all
Now nobody will ever need her
Nobody will want to see her
Nobody will ever let her go

TIMEBOMB

The son of Western, the son of father
Met a man called 'Sayonara'
The son of Eastern, he was a martyr
He took the medicine from the father
The European,
He saw the father give the bag to a Russian dancer
He told a policeman about the martyr
Who sent a message to the father
They never listen to the words you say
They only listen to the way you say them
They never listen to the words you say
So I never listen to a single reply
TIMEBOMB! Woahhh
We're sick of living in a TIMEBOMB!
TIMEBOMB
You think you never put a foot wrong!
That's cos you're living in a TIMEBOMB! Woahh!
The son Eastern, he saw the father,
He knew the policeman was 'Sayonara'
The son of Western, he fled to Java
The European fell in love with the dancer
They never listen to the words you say
They only listen to the way you say them
They never listen to the words you say
So I never listen to a single reply
TIMEBOMB! Woahhh
We're sick of living in a TIMEBOMB!
TIMEBOMB
You think you never put a foot wrong!
That's cos you're living in a TIMEBOMB! Woahh!
This is a story about a man called 'Sayonara'
A made up story about a man called 'Sayonara'.
