1.FASTER DISCO
 

 Styling, you know you are styling
 So turn to the mirror and blow yourself a kiss
 It goes just like this
 You've done it a thousand times
 It's as easy as drinking wine, only now it's blood
 
 Here it come again
 (treating you so kind)
 Till it comes again
 (leaving you no mind)
 
 Your feelings, they flow without reason
 So look to the stars above and
 Blow it all away
 I come without warning
 Some call me morning,
 I wipe all your tears away, the evil ones I kill
 
 Here it comes again
 (treating you so kind)
 Till it comes again
 (leaving you no mind)
 Taking the form of pain this time
 It never treats you unkind
 Your followers, lead them blind
 And suck away their lives
 Cause yours depends on it
 
 Here it comes again
 
 Chasing the night away

2.ANNE'S SONG
 
 "HEY!" WHAT?? "Oh nothing, just wondering why it is you're
doing
 that whatever it is you're doing. "Oh yeah, why?" I dunno it just
 doesn't seem like something you'd be doing that's all you of all
 people, know what I mean? "Yeah I know it's been bugging you since the
 day I was born, huh? I asked my friend Anne about it. I said, 'Anne,
 Anne, Anne, what am I supposed to do, it's been bugging them since the
 day that I was born.' She said 'Do whatever the hell you want to do!
 Now is the time to do whatever you want, and it will still turn out
 great. You've got the world at your feet.'"
 I never claimed to be different, I only said I was bored and she's
 tired of your uniqueness, it sends her over head first then the rest
 of her follows, the breath of life, it never left her hollow...
 
 I can do everything, she said, she said with a smile.
 And I can go anywhere tonight, cause I'm with Anne.
 
 Anne, Anne, Who? Anne Dagnabit Island princess queen with the juice
 What's this? I see she brought her whole uptown contingent. First
 there's
 Jon E., he always loves a party, he's followed by Vinnie, who's
 feelin'
 kinda skinny, he says "Hey Anne I'm starved what you got to eat, she
 says "Vinnie you're always starving man get away from that fridge!
 Here comes Lucy, she's feelin' really sexy, she's followed by her
 boyfriend, who'd better not turn around, this time, or he's bound to
 lose
 her, and here comes Jamilla, who's got the cream soda...
 
 I can do everything, she said, she said with a smile
 And I can go anywhere tonight, cause I'm with Anne

3.INTRODUCE YOURSELF
 
 From the day I was born, I took the bull by the horns, and gave you
 plenty to scorn, well right on! Then you said in a song that life was
 gettin real tough, but hey I think that you're bluffing, what of it?
 
 Introduce yourself (right on!)
 
 Now two decades gone by and I know that's a long time, para tiempo
 means
 nada nunca. Cause I'm still the same asshole and I still wet my pants
 every time that I see your face (who are you?)
 
 Introduce yourself (right on!)
 
 Hey Mr. Biggs, Hey Mr. Bestall, Hey Mr. Warner what's up?
 Hey Mr. Enigma, Hey Mr. Bigtime, Hey Mr. Epic, What's going on?
 
 Introduce yourself (right on!)

4.CHINESE ARITHMETIC
 
 Candle light, it burns in every hole of your eyes
 It's beautiful, how much you'll never realize
 So hush my love, there's something I'm to tell you now
 Your time has come, around again my sleepless one
 
 Your friend was young, hung and plastered
 He never knew his own disaster
 I think it's good, in fact it was faster
 Cause it was you that he was after
 
 Hold me now, as if you'll never let me go
 Unhand me now, as if you've always known my name
 
 His love was king, his love was master
 He needed more, he needed always
 He searched in vein for love and shelter
 In every soul, in every hallway
 
 So you thought she'd be sweeter than your girlfriend Peter
 Well give it a second chance cause you've yet to meet her
 We got the same ideas, we got the same old fears
 They're different colors sometimes, but, hey, who cares?
 Just years that tears our lives apart
 Just like the time that you tried to teach your cousin to walk
 He couldn't do it-push!-you told him twice
 Well, I do man but it just don't jive
 
 Tried so hard to control my behavior
 I tried so hard, so hard to believe you
 But now I live only to deceive you...
 
 So KICK and SCREAM!!!
 
 [topo]
 
 
5.DEATH MARCH
 
 There's nothing I'd like more than to let you in
 But now you're on the other side and there's no way...
 To feel your breath of life upon my face
 Cause with the state you're in there wouldn't be a trace
 No I wake up every night with this emptiness inside
 Hasn't been the same since you left without a trace
 Quit the human race, did you? Camina con la muerto?

6.WE CARE A LOT
 
 We care a lot about disasters, fires, floods and killer bees
 We care a lot about the NASA shuttle falling in the sea
 We care a lot about starvation and the food that Live Aid bought
 We care a lot about disease, baby Rock, Hudson, rock, yeah!
 
 We care a lot about the gamblers and the pushers and the geeks
 We care a lot about the crack and smack and whack that hits the street
 We care a lot about the welfare of all the boys and girls
 We care a lot about you people cause we're out to save the world
 
 YEAH!
 
 And it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
 
 We care a lot about the army navy air force and marines
 We care a lot about the SF, NY and LAPD
 We care a lot about you people, about your guns
 about the wars you're fighting gee that looks like fun
 
 We care a lot about the Garbage Pail Kids, they never lie
 We care a lot about Transformers cause there's more than meets the eye
 
 We care a lot about the little things, the bigger things we top
 We care a lot about you people yeah you bet we care a lot,
 
 YEAH!
 
 Well, its a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
 And it's a dirty song but someone's gotta sing it

7.R n' R
 
 Don't put that thing too close to my head
 It took this long just to get ahead, he says
 He knows for sure, but that he can't decide
 Between his decency and this matter of pride
 So he's growing up on time, he's growing up in the middle...
 
 And it burns, and it burns, the sun burns
 Oh, now I can really feel it. How could you ever stand it?
 
 We've got the same ideas, we got the same old fears;
 Different colors sometimes, but hey, who cares?
 It's just years that shears our lives apart, like the
 Time you tried to teach your nephew to fart, he couldn't do it. PUSH!
 So he's growing up on time, I'm growing up in the middle...
 
 Oh, now I can really feel it. How could you ever stand it?
 I'm not the kind of person who would say it, if it wasn't the truth
 And then you go and tell a friend that her heart's on fire
 And it has no meaning.
 Now and only now I know the difference when you tell me
 There is no difference.
 So she's growing up on time, she's growing up in the middle...
 
 Now's the time to evaluate between the love you give
 And the love that you take.
 "It's not a matter of opinion, when it comes down to it,
 It's just a difference of opinion, that much I can take."
 So I'm growing up on time, I'm growing up in the middle...
 
 And it burns

8.THE CRAB SONG
 
 "And after all the feelings go, I see I still love you so,
 I just thought I'd let you know now that everything's okay,
 And you are on your way back, back to where you came,"
 She said with pain in her heart, it was there from the start.
 Now I know why everything turns grey, but it's our own world we paint
 And I want the brightest, I want fluorescence every day and night
 For the rest of my life, open your eyes, won't you?
 Can't you see you're so beautiful to me?
 
 Don't look back as a matter of fact there's
 A ten foot Jack wants to break your back
 You stole his girl, you wrecked his world
 Now it's your your head that he's gonna twirl
 He won't think once, he won't think twice
 Cause he knows just what he's gonna do tonight
 He will commit a crime, a crime of love
 And he won't be happy till he sees your blood
 
 Looking back on when you left me
 Standing in the rain
 
 Don't look back as a matter of fact there's
 A son of a bitch and he's digging a ditch
 For you my friend, my lucky one
 So grab your things it's time to run to the other side
 
 Where love takes pride, and your souls
 The only thing that stays alive
 Ma maooba goo goo ga ga
 Hey! Quit talkin that terminal jive!
 
 Looking back on when I left you...
 Crying in pain
 Don't look back...(1st verse)
 
 Looking back on when you left me
 Standing in the rain, in-credible pain
 I understand. You have to be your own person. And that's ok with me.
 
 Hurts, Hurts, Hurts, Like a like a motherfucher
 Love. it hurts. it kills. Like a sonofabitch.
 That feeling. It gets me. Down inside. Deep down there
 No further. Keep going. Oh man that's right out my system
 
 [topo]  

 
9.BLOOD
 
 It doesn't really matter, the things you say to me
 Cause if I had a ladder, up there is where I'd be
 Outta here where the air is cold, you're messing with my mind
 Hey! You do it every time, Hey! And the season comes around
 Once more,once more.
 
 It doesn't really matter, the things you try to say
 It doesn't really matter, you say 'em every day
 Right now just give me more blood
 Just give it to me deep red
 A flowing river crimson
 A flowing river burning with desire
 It's great, but I never said how great
 Hey, you never really asked, well, I'm asking you right now
 So shut up and explain
 What's on your mind
 In this dark hour
 I said it doesn't matter, I can't be that much fatter
 And you'll never get as much blood
 From a phony Blarney, stone, rock, hard, Granite!?! Solid.

10.SPIRIT
 
 She looked at me and did the bosa nova
 I smiled at her and then just walked away
 then the lights came on and it was over
 to my surprise, she wasn't a girl at all
 so I packed it up and took to a rock show...
 where you can feel the pulse getting stronger
 & you can only hear the beat for so long
 I asked if there was any way to stop it
 No, he said, just smile and act as if...
 you worship the very ground on which they walk on...
 no way
 a temporary absence of gesture
 a hidden meaning known to everyone
 a slight misconception of leizure
 don't see how that could hurt anyone...I know...but
 spirit, excellence, further down the road,
 these are the tools you'll need further down the road.
 so lets pack it up and take it somewhere special...
 from a quintessential, existential nightmare
 to a sanctuary waiting in the sun
