I met her on a subway train Bound for a sunny destination She told me I was beautiful And I told her the same And now I'm planting flowers on her grave She was just a chorus girl I, a racketeer Grown men ran for cover When they saw me drawing near With a smile she told me there was more to life than fear And now she's just a memory, oh dear You see I had to kill her She was never of the crowd The eyes of men adored her And she thought of it so proud And if she'd been alive today She would have run away Heart lost, not found You understand me now She was going to fool around Her heart is buried in the ground She wakes me up And tells me how She loves me so Oooh oooh, oh oh oh, whoa She wakes me up And tells me how She loves me so Oooh oooh, oh oh oh, whoa Sometimes when I'm feeling wrong I see her standing there Outside in the garden Gentle winds caress her hair Arms outstretched she's motioning For me to join her there. Although she's in another world She still inhabits mine I often hear her breathing And she messages my mind She tells me she is thankful That she left this world behind (Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray this secret I can keep, if I should die before I wake, I pray this secret I can take) She wakes me up And tells me how She loves me so Oooh oooh, oh oh oh, whoa She wakes me up And tells me how She loves me so Oooh oooh, oh oh oh, whoa Heart lost, not found You understand me now She was going to fool around Her heart is buried in the ground Heart lost, not found You understand me now She was going to fool around Her heart is buried in the ground

I wake up in the morning, I go to sleep at night, and somewhere in between everything’s alright. You wouldn’t know to see me, you wouldn’t even care, what’s painted on the surface isn’t always there. I’m sinking… I’m sinking to a new low. I’m sinking… I’m sinking to a new low. I wonder if I missed it, I wonder if it came, I must have been away somehow when it called my name. I thought I’d had the answer, I thought I knew the rules, but it looks like I’ve been sailing on this ship of fools. I’m sinking… I’m sinking to a new low. I’m sinking… I’m sinking to a new low. INSTRUMENTAL BREAK Take me away, I wanna go somewhere, just for one day, I need to clear my head. I’ll wake up in the morning, I’ll go to sleep at night, and somewhere in between it’ll be alright. You won’t know it to see me, you might not even care, but what lies beneath the surface is always there. I’m sinking… I’m sinking to a new low. I’m sinking… I’m sinking to a new low. (repeats)

You’re walking through life Watch your step There’s a man with a knife He’s got a firm grip You’re walking through life Watch your step There’s a man with a knife He’s got a firm grip You duck around corners You look when you can You’re looking for cover But there’s none Don’t look now He’s got his friends after you Waiting there Waiting to see what you do Go ahead and get uptight Nothing is alright They follow in silence They lurk in the dark They see that you’re nervous They count on that They go through your garbage They find you online They’re recording your numbers They want to be you Don’t look now He’s got his friends after you Waiting there Waiting to see what you do Go ahead and get uptight Nothing is alright Don’t stop now You’ve got to run for your life Don’t freak out There’s nowhere else you can hide He’s got an agenda He’s got lots of time He’s not in a hurry To make the strike He’s really quite gifted He’s skilled at his craft Your identity lifted He’s you Don’t stop now You’ve got to run for your life Don’t freak out There’s nowhere else you can hide Don’t stop now You’ve got to run for your life Don’t freak out There’s nowhere else you can hide

He gets along with her friends, but they only see one side of him, they'll never know that he's pushing her aside, he gets along with her friends. She's just like this with his dad, but he only sees one side of her, he doesn't know that his son is breaking down, she's just like this with his dad. They're trying bad to be good, fighting the evils inside, it's been alive for some time, inside. They give themselves to their kids, but nobody sees when they're alone, no-one would know that their love is almost gone, they give themselves to their kids. They're trying bad to be good, fighting the evils inside, it's been alive for some time, inside. When he was a child, he had to leave childhood behind, it wasn't his fault, it wasn't his whole lot in life. When she was a child, she had to be perfect and good, it wasn't her fault, she never knew quite where she stood. And now they exist, too beat-up and too tired to feel, the numbness is all very real, and nobody knows where it goes from here. They do the best that they can, and nobody sees the pain deep inside, someday they may find the heart they left behind, they do the best that they can. They're trying bad to be good, fighting the evils inside, it's been alive for some time, inside. (repeat)

Maniac 06:33
In my head I’m such a loser, in my head I’m already dead. I’m a maniac, I’m not coming back, I’m a maniac, I’m not coming back. In my head there’s no beginning, in my head, there is no end. I’m a maniac, I’m not coming back, I’m a maniac, I’m not coming back. In my head there is a reason, in my head I don’t know what it is. I’m a maniac, I’m not coming back, I’m a maniac, I’m not coming back. I’m a maniac, I’m not coming back, I’m a maniac, I’m not coming back.

Major KC They never understood why you liked to be called a major Did they know about the military or the peace corps? I bet you really kicked some ass when you were over there Been a long time Since I’ve been around to pay a visit, and I’m sorry But life has gotten pretty busy, and I’m married now And we’re trying hard to start a family, so that’s why You remember? When we would sit and talk for hours in the hot sun We figured out life and the universe while we drank some I always brought along your favourite scotch and some paper cups Did I tell you? I really did enjoy the times that we spent together You always made me laugh when you told me the same old stories And it didn’t bother me even though I’d heard them a thousand times On the corner In the middle of an intersection on a crowded street A blanket for a floor and a shopping cart full of memories You made the only home you could since your life turned upside down I can see them Looking at you like you’re something straight from a horror film Judging with their eyes as they step aside to avoid you And you never said a thing aside from “do you have any change to spare?” Life was so going your way and then one day it all came crashing down You never saw it coming, like a deer hit by a truck you hit the ground Major KC I know you must’ve had a family one time that cared for you I wonder where they are and if they were told what happened I can’t imagine them not being here to say goodbye I will miss you I bet you never knew how much an effect that you had on me I always meant to tell you one day but I never did I hope that you can find it in your soul to forgive me. And your soul flies away, free to go, free to stay Love is lost, love is gained, as you find your way

Uh, No 06:30
Have you ever seen the sunrise? Uh, no. Have you seen Titanic capsize? Uh, no. Is there anything you have seen? Anything at all? Can we talk about the weather? Uh, no. Have you heard the latest music? Uh, no. Have you heard what can make you sick? Uh, no. Do you live inside a vacuum? A shelter underground? Can we have a conversation? Uh, no. I don't care about the latest fashion trends, I don't wanna read updates from my friends, I don't really give a damn what’s on your mind, Don’t need to know that you’re feeling fine. There's so much happening these days, you're missing out on everything... Don't speak, don't tweet, don't don't follow me, Don't friend me, send me anything, No jokes, no pokes, no videos, Just do me a favour and leave me alone. Your head is buried in the sand, Your fate will be another's plan, You will have no-one else to blame, Your future will remain the same. Save your breath and your point of view, No matter what you say, not gonna listen to you, If you wanna change your life then go ahead, I’m gonna watch tv and go to bed. Good night. Have a drink to take the edge off? Uh, no. Have a think before you kick off? Uh, no. Should we have a visitation? Or just a burial? Should we put it in the papers? A mention in the Sun? Should we even bother coming? Uh, no.
