Didi’s on a power trip
Loves it when she’s in control
Told me I was something special, yeah
She don’t even know my name
Never looks you in the eye
She dress you down behind your back
Anytime you ask her something
She only shakes her head, and she says
Yeah yeah, just like that
No no
Yeah yeah
No No
Boy, you gotta be yourself
Don’t let no one take your light
Shine it on the ones you love
And let the vultures die
Yeah yeah, lemme tell ya now
No no, sing it with me
Yeah yeah

Yeah yeah, alright now
No no

No No, I say now
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Speed of Sound
02:51
|

|
I’m wired, electric veins
A 9-volt heart, heels that spark
When I move, I might just break the speed of sound
And I hear that big kick drum
That bass line drive, guitars hum
Here I am, breaking through the speed of sound
When I’m moving
Nothing can bring me down
Take my hand baby, we’ll break the speed of sound
I like the way it feels to lose control
There ain’t no rules
Got the beat in my heart
It beats in time
It lets me know
When I’m moving
Nothing can bring me down, ya know it
Take my hand baby, we’ll break the speed of sound, yeah
We’ll break the speed of sound
We’ll break the speed of sound
We’ll break the speed of sound
We gonna break, let me hear it
When I’m moving
Nothing can bring me down
Take my hand baby, we’ll break the speed of sound, that’s right
When I’m moving
Nothing can bring me down
Take my hand baby, we’ll break the speed of sound
We’ll break the speed of sound
We’ll break the speed of sound
We’ll break the speed of sound
We gonna break the speed of sound

Atypical Talk
02:47

She walks in
To the room
Under the neon lights
Purple eyes
Hard hair
And a chemical smile
Hey there
I don’t know why
I’m feeling reckless
Atypical talk, pulled me outta the dark
An unpredictable rhyme, but we sang in time
Ruby red
Mercy me
Strangest fruit in the tree
Took a bite
To the center
Don’t think I’ll ever be the same again
She walks in
To the room
Under the glow of the neon lights
Atypical talk, pulled me outta the dark
An unpredictable rhyme, but we sang in time
Sha na na
Atypical talk
Sha na na
Atypical talk
Hey, come check it out
I got a ferret
In a top hat and a tie-dye shirt
Ah yeah yeah
Atypical talk
Ah yeah yeah
Atypical talk

Running in My Sleep
03:02
|
|||
|
I see you hide in the shadows
Keeping me on my toes
We’re shooting broken arrows
Neither one of us knows
You got me run-run-running
Running in my sleep
You got me run-run-running
Running in my sleep
And you’re the one I need
We could be fire and water
Or maybe love and hate
Sometimes I can’t tell them apart
But I believe in love
Yeah, I believe in love
You got me run-run-running
Running in my sleep
You got me run-run-running
Running in my sleep
And you’re the one I need
All your friends are talking
In whispering sounds
In the dead of night
I drown
You got me run-run-run running
Running in my sleep
You got me run-run-run running
Running in my sleep
And you’re the one I need
Ya got me running in my sleep, yeah
Ya got me running in my sleep, yeah

Come Back to Me
02:22
|
|||
|
Day old coffee filled with ashes
Waiting for your call
The note you left is on the table
What a way to fall
The flowers don’t grow
And the stars don’t shine
I get so drunk
And pray-pray-pray
You come back to me
Five good years
Yeah, we had something
So few people find
I remember thinking back then
I’m gonna make her mine
The flowers don’t grow
And the stars don’t shine
I get so drunk
And pray-pray-pray
You come back to me
Yeah, you come back to me
Maybe you’ll come back to me

Psychedelia
03:12
|
|||
|
It’s unnatural
To be tied down
To a treadmill
In a white, windowless room
Our subconscious
Is revolting
To save us
From the doldrums of our lives
Psychedelia
Faces in the stars
Devil music
Pretty colors
Come alive
In the canvas of my mind
In the sunshine
Is a new life
I can feel it
Tomorrow’s just begun
Psychedelia
Faces in the stars
Psychedelia
Show me who you are
Gimme something
I can hang onto
Gimme something
I need
Psychedelia
Faces in the stars
Psychedelia
Show me who you are
Out here far away, looking down
Out here far away, looking down

Karma Bruises
02:51
|
|||
|
When you wear the golden crown
You’re every word is profound
No one could ever take you down
Or could they?
I still remember the day I died
Everyone showed up in white
They spelled my first name with an I
Such a shame
Karma bruises, hey hey
Yeah, I got ‘em
Karma bruises
Made a record and ditched the band
I should’ve listened to my old man
He said “you don’t know what you got til it’s gone”
Now my ego is black and blue
And I got something to prove
When you’re down and out
You got nothing left to lose
Karma bruises
You better watch out
Karma bruises
Speak no evil
Tell no lies, yeah
Karma bruises
They’re gonna get ya
Karma bruises
Karma bruises
I got this one in ‘99
And this one…
This one I got down on Avenue C
Three in the morning
Karma bruises, man

And I make peace at night
Yeah, I wake up early in the morning
Cuz I got you in my sight
I gotta tell ya
Yeah, I just gotta tell ya

Fear will cut ya
Right in two
Leave you bleeding
In the arms of truth
Don’t it make you uneasy
Make it test your will
Pack up your family and run
Cuz the shit is going down
Big invader
It’s coming to your town
They say it’s coming in waves
In the middle of the night
A predator on the prowl
In the pale moonlight
Don’t it make you uneasy
Make it test your will
Pack up your family and run
Cuz the shit is going down
Big invader
It’s coming to your town
Big invader
You’re better off moving underground
Big Invader

We laid out in the grass
Gazing at the sky
I made a promise then
Baby, I never lie
There’s so much that don’t make sense
So much I don’t understand
This I can guarantee
I’m gonna be your man
Honeylove
When you need me
I’ll be here
Anytime
Just call me
When you need me
I’ll be here
Anytime
Honeylove
When you need me
I’ll be here
Anytime
Just call me
When you need me
I’ll be here
Anytime

Nothin Gonna Break Us
02:41
|
|||
|
They can try to break us down
Grab our heart
Rip it out
We don’t have to scream and shout
To show ‘em we don’t die
Red and white, black and blue
We decide what to do
They don’t get to make the rules
Go ahead and try
Oh oh, nothin gonna break us
Oh oh, I said nothin gonna break us
I don’t wanna hear that talk
It’s just a little dent in the wall
Oh nothin gonna break us
Second time, still the same
Second time, still the same
We’re the only ones to blame
Now, it’s time to go
Sing it loud unified
You and me rule the night
They’re the bark and we’re the bite
This time the world will know
Oh oh, nothin gonna break us
Oh oh, I said nothin gonna break us
I don’t wanna hear that talk
It’s just a little dent in the wall
Oh nothin gonna break us
Hey
Oh oh, nothin gonna break us
Oh oh, nothin gonna break us
I don’t wanna hear that talk
It’s just a little dent in the wall
Oh nothin gonna break us
Nothin gonna break us
Nothin gonna break us
Nothin gonna break us
