Be There
i don't wanna be there
when you're wrong.
i don't wanna be there
when you find out.
i don't wanna be there
when you break glass.
and i don't wanna be there
when they drag you out.

you can't speak backwards
you can't save the animals

and i don't wanna be there
when you're wrong.
and i don't wanna be there
when you find out.
i don't wanna be there
when you break glass.
and i don't wanna be there
when they drag you out.

Venus
Venus
I can hardly see ya
Venus
I can hardly see ya

You're fed up with your friends
You're fed up with the end
You're fed up with the make-up
Make-up

Venus
Have you ever seen us?
Venus
Have you ever seen us?

You're fed up with your friends
You're fed up with the end
You're fed up with the make-up
Make-up

Have you seen my dreams?
They're the same as yours it seems

Venus
I can hardly see ya
Venus
Oh
I can hardly see ya
See ya

-

Condescend
to a point
you will fail,
so i'll condescend.

without doubt
you will fail,
then i'll condescend.

at a point
i will fail,
still i condescend.

to a point
you will fail,
so i'll condescend--
then i'll condescend--
still i condescend.

-

Landlord
let's
keep
the landlord in mind, as
the microphones pick up
the soft ones.

let's
keep
the carpets in mind, as
the microphones pick up
the soft ones,
the loud ones,
the slow ones,
the bright ones,
the meaningful ones,
the distance,
the good pets,
the wordless,
the stateless.

-

Over The Ocean
I'm over the ocean
over the hills, over the dell
over the fireline
over the sand, over the plan
over the empire
and if I belong, then I'll be longer than expected
and if I'm wrong, the mighty and strong will be rejected

-

Do You Know How To Waltz?
one more dance
before they take away the light
one more spin around the line
one more step and then we'll turn and face the debt
one more reason to forget

-

Shame
a long time you waited
you thought it had abated
shame of it all

the harm that it causes
pours down like a faucet
shame of it all

If You Were Born Today (Song for Little Baby Jesus)
If you were born today
We'd kill ya by age eight
Never get the chance to say:

Joy to the world and
Peace on the earth
Forgive them for they know not what they do

Blessed are the meek and
Blessed are the humble
Blessed are the ninety and nine

Deny the flesh
Deny all that's evil
Tonight you'll deny me thrice

If you were born today
We'd kill ya by age eight
Never get the chance to say...

Ooooo....
