1. Long Time Coming
From the mirror, comes to life
I see myself
Hey man, good to see you here
I've always known you're near
I knew you'd come, but you were hidden well
Left me to go to war in my private hell
You've been with me since my first days
Now I can leave, just take my place
Not dead, quite yet... you're me
Not dead, quite yet... and I fade away into you
A long time coming
And I was so very Wrong
I waited here for you so very long
A long time coming
Take my place and be the better me
It was you alone, the one to save us both
Will be you alone, now that the seed is sown
Looking back I see what is killing me
Take our demons, the wounds shall all be healed
Light to dark, all in a day
After all, we're one and the same
A long time coming
And I was so very Wrong
I waited here for you so very long
A long time coming
Take my place and be the better me
A long time coming
And I was so very Wrong
I waited here for you so very long
A long time coming
And I was so very Wrong
I waited here for you so very long
A long time coming
Take my place and be the better me
From the mirror, comes to life
I see myself
2. Blockbuster Life
I take the saw and use it to the beat of the light
Then I take off my skullcap so you see what's inside
You say: Uh, wow!
What an awesome mind
You say: Hell, no!
I wanna go inside!
I take a torch and light the way, but watch the gaps in there
Down there's a creepy past, beware, you see me bare
You say: Oh, shit!
I wanna get back up
You say: No, wait!
Get me to the next big stop
Nerve tracts, brain cells, strike out
Bleeding all my thoughts onto the audience
You need to move deeper (move deeper)
To get a glimpse of a blockbuster life
You need to move deeper (move deeper)
To get a glimpse of a blockbuster life
We reach the mirror cabinet, dressed in vampire suits
We pass the oily hills of boredom, sing the bedroom blues
You say: Oh, shit!
I wanna get back up
You say: No, wait!
Get me to the next big stop
Nerve tracts, brain cells, strike out
Bleeding all my thoughts onto the audience
You need to move deeper (move deeper)
To get a glimpse of a blockbuster life
You need to move deeper (move deeper)
To get a glimpse of a blockbuster life
You'll never seat on screen
I'll never put it in words
This is all you get
This is all I offer
A guided tour through a damn blockbuster life
Nerve tracts, brain cells, strike out
Bleeding all my thoughts onto the audience
You need to move deeper (move deeper)
To get a glimpse of a blockbuster life
You need to move deeper (move deeper)
To get a glimpse of a blockbuster life
3. With A Grin
When you see me smiling
Oh, you better move!
I'm about to take our city down
I just step on you
Count my blessings, they say
But a monster's life is not enough
Fuck sweet William, I'll stay Big Bad Bill
And crush what I Love
Do the wrong thing just to feel alive
Another wrong to make it right
Godzilla with a grin
trample over everything
Godzilla with a grin
do you want to be my Tokyo?
Used to dream my dreams alone
Yeah, live and not learn
Trample on the path I choose
Then watch our city burn
Here's to liquor and poor judgement
and inevitability of sin
Proud ruler of the rubble
And this godforsaken mess I'm in
Do the wrong thing just to feel alive
Another wrong to make it right
Godzilla With a grin
trample over everything
Godzilla with a grin
do you want to be my Tokyo?
Let's rumble!
Do the wrong thing just to feel alive
Another wrong to make it right
Godzilla With a grin
trample over everything
Godzilla with a grin
do you want to be my Tokyo?
Yeah
Let's do the wrong thing
Just to feel alive
4. Send In The Clowns
You screwed this up, son, the wise man said
You have to lie in the bed you've made.
Well, lie I did. Oh box, did I!
I guess the joke is on me this time
Send in the clowns
Send in the clowns
The fool on the tightrope came crashing down
Send in the clowns
Send in the clowns
When hope is gone, the show must go on
Since happy ever after died
And let the rage for change subside
I humbly love the little one
But the failure lingers on and on
Send in the clowns
Send in the clowns
The fool on the tightrope came crashing down
Send in the clowns
Send in the clowns
When hope is gone, the show must go on
Never let them see the tears
After all the show went on for years
After all the show went on for years
Send in the clowns
Send in the clowns
The fool on the tightrope came crashing down
Send in the clowns
Send in the clowns
When hope is gone, the show must go on
5. Dead In The Water
Five cowboys at the last chance saloon
Last call, last melon the road to high noon
Drinks on the table to toast what never was
Raise you glasses to rebels without applause
We keep on keeping on
Just because they said it can't be done
See me rolling with my friends
We're still better than your favorite band
So you say
We're dead in the water
So you say
We're dead in the water
But the water's just fine
But the water's just fine
Under the radar, over the years
There's more to this than chicks and beers
Never made it, but we came this far
Raising hell on the Titanic, last band at the bar
We keep on keeping on
Just because they said it can't be done
See me rolling with my friends
We're still better than your favorite band
So you say
We're dead in the water
So you say
We're dead in the water
But the water's just fine
But the water's just fine
The difference between waving you fist
Or aiming a punch at the mark
Is the difference between them and us
Let's take that one to heart
Ten pounds of shit in a two pound bad
But are we having fun? Hell yeah, you bet!
So you say
We're dead in the water
So you say
We're dead in the water
But the water's just fine
But the water's just fine
6. Buddha Belly
Driven by the thought one day the taxman disappears
I'm dreaming of a modest, lazy life
Taking what's in front of me is easy to abide
Luck is just the nature of the beast
I rely on you' cause I've got unexpected strength
Too far away but good to know it's there
I'm alive right now
Make me last somehow
I'm alive right now
Make me last somehow
Buddha – Too far away to be combined now
Belly – Too far away to merge in one
Buddha – I'm you buddha belly
Belly – And you're my lucky charm
Counting all the cigarettes I smoked throughout my life
I could fill an ocean with caffeine
Maggots, rats and worms, they will be waiting endlessly
I've got good protection on my side
I'm alive right now
Make me last somehow
I'm alive right now
Make me last somehow
Buddha – Too far away to be combined now
Belly – Too far away to merge in one
Buddha – I'm you buddha belly
Belly – And you're my lucky charm
I'm your buddha belly, you're my lucky charm
I'm you buddha belly, I'm your buddha belly, baby
I'm alive right now
Make me last somehow
I'm alive right now
Buddha – Too far away to be combined now
Belly – Too far away to merge in one
Buddha – I'm you buddha belly
Belly – And you're my lucky charm
Buddha – I'm you buddha belly
Belly – And you're my lucky charm
Ooooh...
You're my lucky charm!
7. The Beer Of No Return
We're going crazy and we're going today
Just that one too many, and we're on our way
Missed all chances for taking it slow
Headfirst into mayhem and on with the show
Just let loose
No stopping now
No time to turn
We've just passed the beer of no return
By now we're traveling full throttle
To the free prize at the bottom of the bottle
Left the world three drinks behind
Nothing to lose but our money and our minds
Just let loose
No stopping now
No time to turn
We've just passed the beer of no return
No stopping now
No time to turn
We've just passed the beer of no return
8. A Pill Named Ting
Knocked down, mind war
Attempted needs compressed in canning jars
Black pen, white sheet
Dimmed lights and I will draw you the cure for it
Remorse and a high pulse
And a heartache and a goodbye
A pill named Ting
Lift me up cause I want you to work
A pill named Ting
Life me up cause I want you to work
Suck hard, bite through
I can't remember what the leaflet said
Keep off, destroy
Here it goes again, cure me my cure for it
One blink and a lost hope
And I'll see you tomorrow
A pill named Ting
Lift me up cause I want you to work
A pill named Ting
Life me up cause I want you to work
Ting
T-I-N-G Ting
Give Me Ting
T-I-N-G Ting
A pill named Ting
Lift me up cause I want you to work
A pill named Ting
Life me up cause I want you to work
9. Better
In these four walls the boredom lives
I can't take it anymore
Finally I've got my records, books
And toys that look like you
And the wounds will start to bleed again
And routine is coming home
And the neighbors will complain about the noise
It feels better when she's gone, yeah, yeah, yeah
and the two was killed by one
It feels better when she's gone, yeah, yeah, yeah
and the two was killed by one
I start the day with cold blue water
And I finish it with dirt
No one's gonna get the message here
I can shake my hand as well
And the wounds will start to bleed again
And routine is coming home
And the neighbors will complain about the noise
It feels better when she's gone, yeah, yeah, yeah
and the two was killed by one
It feels better when she's gone, yeah, yeah, yeah
and the two was killed by one
It feels better when she's gone, yeah, yeah, yeah
and the two was killed by one
It feels better when she's gone, yeah, yeah, yeah
and the two was killed by one
Start running
10. That's Your Poison, Not Mine
All that venom, almost entertaining
Another guilt trip, nagging and complaining
Winning ticket, complain about the numbers
Hate me at hello, past just pulls you under
Speeding past you on the high road
While you keep throwing stones at yourself
You live bitter, I live better
Speeding past you on the high road
While you keep throwing stones at yourself
That's your poison
Your poison, not mine
So you swallow it all, hope the other one dies
That's you poison
Your poison, not mine
And I won't take it
That's the way you deal with stuff
Incommunicado, both fists up
But you won't get your vengeance
Comes right back at yourself
But your hate, it bites,
and it's you, it's eating up
So fire away, if it makes your day
Is that really all you've got?
Speeding past you on the high road
While you keep throwing stones at yourself
You live bitter, I live better
Speeding past you on the high road
While you keep throwing stones at yourself
That's your poison
Your poison, not mine
So you swallow it all, hope the other one dies
That's your poison
Your poison, not mine
And I won't take it
That's your poison
Your poison, not mine
So you swallow it all, hope the other one dies
That's your poison
Your poison, not mine
And I won't take it
Thanks, but no thanks.
