1.GET OUT
 
   What if there's no more fun to have?
   And all I've got is what I had
   What if I have forgotten how?
   Cut my losses and get out now
   Get out right now
   There's something stronger than me
   There's something I don't want to see
   A new thing growing in me
   It is the hardest thing to do
   To watch it grow on top of you
   And see you're just like everyone
   No fun
   Why don't you speak that language anymore?
   My blood is not that color anymore
   My blood don't shine that same way anymore
   I can not deny it anymore
   No!

2.RICOCHET
 
   All of that thick time without you
   Has made me so thick and drunk
   "and it's okay to laugh about it"
   I said, "it's okay to laugh about it"
   Running twice as fast to stay in the same place
   Don't catch my breath to the end of the day
   And I'd rather be shot in the face
   Then hear what you're going to say
   One day the wind will come up
   And you'll come up empty again
   -And who'll be laughing then?-
   You'll come up empty again
   No reasons-no explanation-so play the violins
   It's always funny until someone gets hurt...
   And Then it's just hilarious!
   You beat me every time you blink
   If only I did not have to think
   Think about you crackin' a smile
   Think about you all the while
   On the ricochet - it's going to hit you
   It's always funny until someone gets hurt
   You can laugh at me - when it misses you

3.EVIDENCE
 
   If you want to open the hole
   Just put your head down and go
   Step beside the piece of the circunstance
   You got to wash away the taste of evidence
   Wash it away(evidence)
   I didn't feel a thing
   It didn't mean a thing
   Look in the eye and testify:
   I didn't feel a thing
   Anything you say, we know you're guilty
   Hands above your head,
   and you won't even feel me
   You won't feel me

4.THE GENTLE ART OF MAKING ENEMIES
 
   The words are so familiar-
   All the same greats, the same mistakes
   It doesn't have to be like this.
   If you don't make a friend, now
   One might make you-
   So learn
   The gentle art of making enemies
   Don't look so surprised
   Happy birthday...Fucker
   We are gonna blow that candle out,
   We're gonna kick you, kick you
   [Don't say you're not because you are]
   [Don't say you're not because you are]
   [History tells us that you are]
   [History tells us that you are]
   All you need is just one more excuse
   You put up one hell of a fight
   You put one hell of a fight
   I wanna hear your very best excuse
   I Never felt this much alive
   I never felt this much alive
   Your day has finally come -
   So wear the hat and do the dance
   And let the suit keep wearing you.
   This year you'll sit and take it
   And you will like it -
   It's the gentle art of making enemies
   I deserve a reward
   Cuz I'm the best fuck that you ever had
   And if I tighten up my hole -
   You may never see the light again
   [There's always an easy way out]
   [There's always an easy way out]
   [You need something wet in your mouth]
   [You need something wet in your mouth]
   Never felt this much alive

5.STAR A.D
 
   Star A.D.
   See tomorrow dreamin'
   You don't need your freedom
   Star A.D.
   A little joke that's understood
   All over the world
   A little joke that's understood
   It's all over and over and over and over
   And dying is dry-
   Like a fact of history
   And when you die, you'll become
   something worse
   Than dead-
   You'll become
   A legend
   We are forever

6.CUCKOO FOR CACA
 
   It's cold and it's
   Smooth and it's
   A hard shade of white
   And everybody needs to lick the surface clean
   But it never tastes better, never tastes better
   uh....ah...ahh.uh...aahhhhahha.uh..aaahhh
   White blooms to white and
   freezes white again
   Close it before something crawls in
   Commit it, leave it, get away-
   we always
   Drop our good side
   Being good gets you stuff
   Being stuff gets you good
   Good stuff gets you being
   And wheelin' and dealin' and squealin'
   Shit lives forever
   They have no legs, but chase us anyway
   Wipe the shadow of your best friend
   Gave birth to something we don't want to be
   We drop our good side
   You can't kill it
   Eat is just as deep as you can fuck it
   So cough it up or go down
   And there's only one thing that separates
   A man...
   Shit lives forever
   We'll retire with a turd on our lips
   Under a pair of knowing eyes
   I'm gonna take a few down with me
   And drop my good side
   You can't kill it
   Take it from our drummer, "Puff"
   Being good it gets you stuff

7.CARALHO VOADOR
 
   They all know me by my car
   They all know I'm gone, but not how far
   I'm heading straight down 101
   I'm going to go and get me some
   My lips are movin' but there's no sound
   Someday somebody's gonna get run down
   E non posso dirigir
   E agora a pares
   Ne dedu indehado
   No  naris
   My lips are movin' but there's no sound
   Someday somebody's gonna get run down

8.UGLY IN THE MORNING
 
   You did one thing wrong
   You woke up.
   It looked better before
   More-more
   And the stomach turns...
   Say nothing without wasting a word
   I know exactly what you meant
   I know how piggy feels
   He starves without missing a meal
   Look in the mirror...
   Don't look at me-
   I'm ugly in the morning
   When the headache is gone,
   The sun is not.
   Forgot to turn the alarm
   On-on
   Doesn't matter how much you think
   Or the number of hairs in the sink
   I did it to myself again
   I know how piggy feels
   He starves without missing a meal
   It's getting clearer...
   Don't look at me-
   I'm ugly in the morning
 
   [topo]
 
 
9.DIGGING THE GRAVE
 
   It would be wrong to ask you why
   Because I know what goes inside
   Is only half of what comes out
   Isn't that what it's about?
   To remind us we're alive
   To remind us we're not blind
   In that big, black hole
   Comfortable
   Digging the grave, I got it made
   Let something in, or throw something out?
   You left the door open wide
   I know you have a reason why
   That knot is better left untied
   I just went and undid mine
   It takes some time
   And the shadows so big
   It takes the sun out of the day
   And the feeling goes away
   If you close the door
   Comfortable

10.TAKE THIS BOTTLE
 
   I can wait to love in heaven
   I can wait for you
   Far away, I'll treat you better
   Better than down here
   Beacause I've done wrong
   And I'm a little afraid
   I ain't to strong
   So listen to what I say:
   Take this bottle
   Take this bottle
   And just walk away-the both of you
   And let me feel the pain-I've done to you
   I can hope we'll be together
   With a better roof over our heads
   I can hope the stormy weather
   It passes on-it passes on-
   But I've hoped too long
   Hoped for me to change
   Now that hope is gone
   So listen to what I say:
   Take this bottle

11.KING FOR A DAY
 
   It is not a good day, if you are not looking good
   This is the best party that I've ever been to
   Today I asked for a god to pour some wine
   in my eyes
   Today I asked for someone to shake some
   salt on my life
   Look!
   Everything's spinning
   (We're on the ground)
   Never cheer before you know who's winning
   (Don't make a sound)
   Sniff the glass and let it roll around on your tongue
   Let me introduce you to someone before the party is done
   Someone to look to in need or in want or in war
   If you give him everything, he may give you even more
   This is the best party that I've ever been to....
   Don't let me die with that silly look in my eyes....
 
   [topo]
 
 
12.WHAT A DAY
 
   A piece of mail
   A letter head
   A piece of hair
   From a human head
   They're sayin' to me
   "I should've killed it"
   "I should've killed it"
   "I should've killed it before"
   You're right, you're right
   "Kill the body and the head will die"
   They're laughin' at me
   "I should've learned it"
   "I should've learned it"
   "I should've learned it before"
   -What a day, what a day
   If you can look it in the face
   And hold your vomit
   A wet sneeze and a "no left turn"
   A row of teeth and an encouraging word
   Beneath a mile of skin
   "I should've noticed it"
   "I should've noticed it"
   "I should've noticed it before"
   What a day
   What a day
   What a day
   Don't you touch it
 
   [topo]
 
 
13.THE LAST TO KNOW
 
   Where it grows on trees
   But never..... never blooms
   Where it hurts the least for whoever
   Saw it first
   First to go and the last to know
   Lasts longer than a lifetime
   Takes the least amount of effort
   Feels better than a bargain
   Just to know it's there
   So I don't have to see the light
   Can't you see
   There's only one me
   And that me is me
   I know where but I cannot share
   You'll call me-I'll stand in line till then
   I'll be waiting
   Can't you see
   All circuits are busy
   Please try back again
 
   [topo]
 
 
14.JUST A MAN
 
   Sky is clear tonight
   Sky is clear tomorrow
   A star is out
   I reach for one to sparkle in my hand
   A star is out
   I will not touch you, I am just a man
   Sky is clear tonight
   Sky is clear tomorrow
   And every night I shut my eyes
   So I don't have to see the light
   Shining so bright
   I'll dream about a cloudy sky,
   a cloudy sky
   I'll dream about a cloudy sky, a cloudy
   "Man was born to love-
   Though often he has sought
   Like Icarus, to fly too high-
   And far too lonely than he ought
   To kiss the sun of east and west
   And hold the world at his behest-
   To hold the terrible power
   To whom only gods are blessed-
   But me, I am just a man"
   And every night I shut my eyes
   So I don't have to see the light
   Shining so bright
   I'll dream about a cloudy sky, a cloudy sky
   And every night I shut my eyes
   But now I've got them open wide
   You've fallen into my hands
   And now you're burning me
   You're burning me

15. I STARTED A JOKE * (by Bee Gees)

I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
Oh but I didn't see
That the joke was on me...oh no..
And I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me

And I looked at the skies
Running my hands
Over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Cursing my head
For things that I've said

Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me

And I looked at the skies
Running my hands
Over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Cursing my head
For things that I've said

Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me
That the joke was on me......

16. Absolute Zero **

Can we being at the end to save some time?
Dead center
Point blank
Together
The clock is ticking
You have no authority here
Float like a dead man down the river
And there are no streets in this city
Et cetera is my worst enemy
It's low and I know it all will go
To the big hand of the god damned
You're here
Red dot
And now you know where not to go
The middle ground is absolute zero
What can be found at absolute zero
Can we begin at the end to save some time?
Et cetera is my worst enemy
It's low and I know it all will go
To the big hand of the god damned
The big hand of the bald man
The middle ground is absolute zero
What can be found at absolute zero
A happy end is absolute zero
Nobody wins an absolute zero
Worse than nothing
Nothing...
