I know I’ll get there somehow
I know I’ll get there sometime
I have to
I have to
I know I’ll get there somehow.
I know I’ll get there sometime
I have to
I have to
I’ll know what to do.
This time tomorrow.
Look at that sky
Look at that sky
Waiting so long
For that magic moment
Time really flies
Time really flies
You have to believe in something
You have to believe in someone
You have to believe in something
You have to believe in someone
I drink all the time
But I want to be good.
Don’t you wonder sometimes?
Don’t you wonder sometimes?
I’ll know what to do.
This time tomorrow.
Look at that sky
Look at that sky

I’m the only one who gets the joke
I’m the only one face it you’re folk
I’m the only one who gets to talk
I’m the only one you didn’t stalk
I’m the only one
I’m the only one
I’m the only one who sees right through
I’m the only one puts up with you
I’m the only one who crossed the line
I’m the only one who’s feelin fine
I’m the only one
I’m the only one
Do you have a question
Can i answer now?
Do you have a problem
Solving it is how
How how how
How how how
it’s Another day
It’s Another day
It’s Another day
It’s another day
Another day
Another day
Another day
Another day

Let's Go Dance

You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here
Was what The bartender said when your ordered that beer
we’re having so much fun, we’ve lost track of time and our minds
Is there somewhere else open? And would they let us in?
I don’t care if its last call I just want to see people and i want to see life.
Let’s go dance
Let’s go sing
Let’s go do anything
Let’s go drink
Let’s go yell
Let’s go raise
Holy hell
what was it that I said, just the other day?
We we should go out less, we should scrimp and save, take it to our grave.
Let’s go dance
Let’s go sing
Let’s go do
anything
Let’s go drink
Let’s go yell
Let’s go raise
Holy hell
night is young
we’re so old.
Let’s not do what we’re told.
Let’s go dance
Let’s go sing
Let’s go do
anything

Diabolique

I saw the devil
I saw the ghost
They both said: “Baby
You are the most”
Devil said lady
Come take my hand
Ghost said don’t bother
She’s got a man
I saw the angel
She didn’t clap
She stood and stared now
She stood and laughed
***I saw the future
It didn’t last
Too many secrets
Too much has passed
***I saw the future
It didn’t go
Too much at stake here
Da da da no
I saw the devil
I saw the ghost
They both said: “Baby
You are the most”
Devil said lady
Come take my hand
Ghost said don’t bother
She’s got a man
I saw the creepshow
I saw the gang
They talked in circles
They spoke in slang
I’ve hit the bottom
I’ve seen the stars
I’ve got your future
Trapped in a jar.

Enfant Terrible

You’re just an enfant terrible, You tried to not even see her
Giving up the ghost, Hostess with the most
Poetess Undressed, All set.
You’re just an enfant terrible, You tried but you couldn’t see her.
Giving up the ghost shhhhhh, Ho Ho Holy host
Devil with the blue dress, What a mess
Now i’ve missed my train, Summer in the rain
All my troubles, down the drain
You’re just an enfant terrible, You tried but you couldn’t be her

City Lights
03:17
|

The city lights were so far away
delirious nights
determined days
The future seemed so far away
Fearless nights
impulsive days
We thought we were Sartre and De Bouvoir
But that didn’t get us far
Leonor Fini and Dora Maar
Underground superstar
The city called us By our names
Took us into private games
Elusive were the lover’s ways
Cold and stony was her face
We thought we were Sartre and De Bouvoir
But that didn’t get us far
Fred Frith and Brian Eno
What did we know?
The darkness she showed was her space
Brought you to some other place
No tears came from her disgrace
While she tortured you to hate
We thought we were Sartre and De Bouvoir
But that didn’t get us far
Leonor Fini and Dora Maar
Underground superstar
The city lights were so far away

Hoi Polloi
02:38
|

Corporate art
Charity balls for starving children
Wartorn office spaces
And carbon credits
Hobnobbing with the hoi polloi
You said the right thing
To the right person
Nothing - can go wrong
15 million dollar mansion
Married - into money
Moving in all the right circles
Your ted talk went viral
Writing a book
About hard choices
Complex decisions
Reviews will be glowing
I see your face
You’re looking down
And You’re really sad
You really wish that things were harder
You wish that things were more difficult
You wish it cost more
You want it to be exclusive.
Only for you and your kind.

Cordelia
02:57
|

I was surprised
by her suicide
She said her life
Was a perfect graveyard
Of buried hopes.
Famous chefs
And fashion designers
Why do they do it
When they have it all?
Success I guess
Isn’t everything
and for some people
It’s nothing at all
Once upon a time
I wished to be called
Cordelia.
Once upon a time
I wished to be called
Cordelia.
It's such a perfectly
elegant name.
So now I’ve decided
I proclaim
I’ve also decided
that success
isn’t for me
I rather prefer anonymity

Edges and Lines
02:44
|
|||
In the end,
Everything
can be
summed up
To edges and lines
You thought you
knew something
But it was all
just wasting time
In, the end, everything
will be fine
In the end everything’s
edges and lines.
Put it on
Repeating
Type the letters that
Make up the words.
And you’ll see
It’s cheating
You’re only replaying
what you’ve heard
In, the end, everything, will be fine,
In the end everything’s edges and lines.
