The Getaway 03:46
Roll down your window, To catch your breeze, Bright light crescendo, Three piggy's squeal freeze Smokin' bacon like rubber Drinkin' Jack and gasoline, Baby find a border line, Burn past it full speed! Educate you in a state of mind, And you can't see for lookin' that you're livin' blind, Don't go wasting me and my precious time, I gotta razor blade's gonna cut that line! Eight thousand endings, All for stories 'bout we. The hips, the lips, the chips, the clips Spendin' paper for free I'll make you addicted, Give you what you need, Sexual by design From me you'll feed Educate you in a state of mind, And you can't see for lookin' that you're livin' blind, Don't go wasting me and my precious time, I gotta razor blade's gonna cut that line! Put your hand in my pocket Blood money spills free, Unbutton your shirt, Scream, five, ten, fifteen! Sweet scent of sin, It stains my sheets, Sweat tastes like sugar, Bitch on your knees! Educate you in a state of mind, And you can't see for lookin' that you're livin' blind, Don't go wasting me and my precious time, I gotta razor blade's gonna cut that line!

Better Days 05:59
There were good days, When you were mine, When you gave me, All of your time, Now I stand here, At your mercy, Where you kept me, At the back of the line. Can you think of all the moments we'd written in the book, How they were better days and it's those that I wanted. I think of all the times that we've taken for granted, I never loved you more than the day that we parted. The ground beneath me, It falls away, I know you're hurting. Don't share the pain, Cry if you love me, If you want me to stay. Take my hand, Lets pretend its the same. Can you think of all the moments we'd written in the book, How they were better days and it's those that I wanted. I think of all the times that we've taken for granted, I never loved you more than the day that we parted. I deserve this, And I'm ashamed, Without my voice heard, Might we have remained? Why should I change? What's always sustained? I have done wrong. But am I to blame? Can you think of all the moments we'd written in the book, How they were better days and it's those that I wanted. I think of all the times that we've taken for granted, I never loved you more than the day that we parted. I'm sick and I'm tired of playing this game, I was burned in the ruin by the gulf of your flame, When your eyes like thunder came pouring rain, You picked me up, put me out and lit me again! You just want to belong, I won't go along, I won't go, I won't Belong!

Buried way down deep beneath the Earth Lie the seeds of a harvest Planted by a mortal man Delivered by the hand of an angel Known to be dressed in black He stands by the side of his preacher Bent over with a broken back Crops doused with the sweat of his labour Just grab a bucket, because it’s time to kick it And if you wake up, there’s a bell just ring it Here lies a husband, he was a father adored Rests a man of great honour Who was sown by the reaper’s gardener... Sown by the reaper’s gardener Roots hath taken, life forsaken He wants your money, to rest your soul The gallows maker, his rent is high The tenants worried, the houses that he makes last to doomsday! Boxed wall to wall, at the Underworld Inn, you were read your last rights when you first checked in Said a man at the desk to get rich quick, just dig, dig, dig, with a spade or a pick Ploughed six feet down right through the ground, not an inch of light, or a grain of sound The taker took your ticket and he ripped it up, he said to you, you wasn’t good enough! And the preacher shouted... Ashes to ashes and dust to dust Drowned in the Styx on your way to hell Every grave in the yard, had a story to tell Rests a man of great honour Who was sown by the reaper’s gardener Sown by the reaper’s gardener Come on blood brother Pay your toll motherfucker Hell ain't free for the damned you sucker Time of death was eleven twenty three By twelve fifteen the soil was dry Mother didn’t have no time to cry By two nineteen the jury had decided That revenge was the motive that would have you bite it Laid to rest with a bullet in your chest Screamed a gardener with a gun just die! Die! Die!

In the belly of a desert Where a crater was born Crashed the ceiling heaven Through a thunder and lightning storm The gaze reached high Of a passerby Reported to the sheriff real confidential like Remain the pieces of an object I found last night I can take you to the site, We can scratch our heads With a borrowed ten cents we should call for the feds For god I fear a little less than the reds When to everyone’s surprise Arrived a wagon full of guys Emerging from a Cadillac retracting funeral ties They smoked two packs and wore shades on their eyes There aint nothing to see So turn right around and leave Breaching past the yellow tape would cost you your life With orders from the president reserving the right A weather balloon was what the headlines read While the talk of the town was of three men dead With big black eyes and an oval head You just keep your mouth shut and you forget what they said Part of a legacy In the years of conspiracy Deny participation to Avoid incrimination Cracking the classes In religious masses, I keep my wallet fat In political madness Woke in the morning to the daily gazette and in the lonely hearts section can you guess what it read? A four foot Martian with a foreign complexion seeks the free world leader for-mind-manipulation Only but one of us is the chosen one, this planet wasn’t made for two of us Crank the gramophone and unscrew the top, I want to believe but will the lies ever stop? Stacking the riches is the first priority, while second from the back is the human fatality Only but one of us is the chosen one, this planet wasn’t made for two of us There’s only two of us and still no one to trust, I told you this planet isn’t big enough Saw your ad in the paper, I’m not instigator but had to call I get a funny feelin', when you beam me through the ceilin', your wonderful Seek him Seek him out Seek him Seek him out Seek him Seek him out
