When she is sent away, she wants to be the perfect package Gift wrap and post her off, she will become the human gif fZip her up and bubble wrap her, hug her and vacuum pack her Inside she's all excited
Stick the knife in, cut the wrap Pierce the plastic, wear that mask
Hypnotise, it's your turn to terrorize The Man
I'm a puppet in a plastic world
She's a dolly with electric curls
But a dolly's got to make her world
So terrorize The Man
Two faced and mealy mouthed, hollow and so sophisticated
She worships my regime, we want to nurture fear and doubt
When the bubble melts abruptly and there's nothing left around me
Inside she's all excited
Be a puppet in a plastic world, she's a puppet in a plastic world
She's a puppet in a plastic world, she's a dolly with electric curls
She's a puppet in a plastic world, I'm a puppet in plastic world
But a dolly's got to make her world so terrorize The Man
Terrorize your man

Correcting/rejecting. Logic is a powerful aid
Courageous/dangerous. Culture the cusp of change
Resistance/futile. Passing a terrible wave
Venus in exile. Communicate in alien ways
Correcting the legacy. Rejecting the legacy.
Hybrid/profile. Reflecting a binary age.
Playtime is over. Breathless in an oxygen haze
The stateline is frozen. The sun is at an optimum place
Going in circles just to let the option fade
Correcting the legacy. Rejecting the legacy.
Respecting the legacy. Protecting the legacy.
My heads spinning and I don't know why (we're rejecting the legacy)

Red light run through, dark dreams taint you
'White Light/White Heat' turns on the light in your mind
Black hole haunts you, white noise trolls you
'Charlotte Sometimes' turns on the light in your mind
I'm just an Underground Idiot
An Underground Idiot waiting for the night
I'm just a New Wave idiot, a Synth Pop idiot
A Shoegaze idiot waiting for the night
Red lines shape you, black heart hates you
'Blue Monday' turns on the light in your mind
When sorrow takes you, music awaits you
'Sound and Vision' turns on the light in your mind
I'm just an Underground Idiot
An Underground Idiot waiting for the night
I'm just a Goth Rock idiot, a Post Punk idiot
An Indie Pop idiot waiting for the night
This time they'll turn the volume down
They want to bring you down
This time they'll try to shut you out
This time they'll take control of you (troll you, troll you)

Need to be frightened
Fears echo hostility
A moment striking will fall into obscurity
Dissolve our cares, resolve our errors
Dissolve our cares
Dissolve our cares to solve affairs
Dissolve affairs
Had enough lies, had enough life, had enough time
Had enough life, had a lifetime to take a SlowRise
Movement in silence,
Allay your dreams, deep into super sea
Annulled in asylum, there's no repair for reciprocity
Dissolve our cares, resolve our errors
Dissolve our cares
Dissolve our cares to solve affairs
Dissolve affairs
Had enough lies, had enough life, had enough time
Had enough life, had a lifetime to take a SlowRise
To take a SlowRise

Never there when you look
Never see them with your eyes
Never get out when you're lost
In the tunnel you alight
Are you zealous in the night?
A death sentence in the dark
The last message that you heard
Was like a stabbing to your heart
Our Ghostation
The story of a story is the truth within the word
The basis of a thought is when a story must be heard
Our Ghostation
The call of the void in the morning (Divide et Impera)

Mind over matter
A chaos of wires
High school apocalypse
Gone to waste
This is a journey as loud as a whisper
Soon to be classifed information
It's too late to fear inside the Andromedia
Placed in your brain, a daily dose of Andromedia
Dressed like a servant
Mind of a victim
Tone of a tragedy
Gone to seed
High on a mountain we are oxygenated
Far from the traffic light occupation
It's too late to fear inside the Andromedia
Placed in your brain, a daily dose of Andromedia
Unforgiven, unforgotten Andromedia
Far away a screen kiss sunset staring at a satellite
Undefeated we repeated all of our mistakes
It's too late to fear with Andromedia

Dystopia of nostalgia
We are lonelier, we have lost our way
Xenophobia in a glass room
You throw stones at them, you asphyxiate
Lashtopia we are lonelier
Lashtopia
A crowded room is a lonely place
Hyperphobia is an open space
Our neighbourhood of disturbances
The suburbia in Arcadia
Lashtopia we are lonelier
Lashtopia
Lashed out, crashed down

I, I tried to give you everything
I didn't know where to begin
With such a fragile mannequin
I, I had a feeling all was lost
I had to know just when to stop
And when to process right from wrong
And when the demons came to stare
And there was pressure in the air
There were no feelings left to save
Along the way
I, I tried to step into your world
I tried to give what I was told
And when the moment felt insane
We could turn round and count to ten
We failed, again
I....
