Stolen Car
There you are again in your brand new stolen car
An heir of confidence and poise bestowed by engine noise on black top tar
And all the phantoms of the freeway calling you home
There's no heaven for the driven, just adrenaline in blood and bone
This car isn't mine, I'm just using it
This car isn't mine, I'm just using it
I found it on the street with no keys in it
Looking lonely for a driver and the road
Like the prologue of a story yet to be told
You're not just killing time, you're abusing it
If inspiration sparks and you don't act on it
Why not just stand still and grow old

They Live
I need glasses,
Just one pair of those cheap sunglasses,
Roddy Piper
My whole world is already in black and white
I lost colour when I took a look under what covers everything in sight
I see the words
Obey
Consume
Sleep
I want to join the underground
There's got to be more people like me around
I'll try this homeless shelter across from the chapel
Looks like middle class America has chewed through the apple
...of bounty
Now there's nothing left, but seeds
"Better look over here"
"I've got something shiny"
"I can set you up with a plan, understand
and the payments will be tiny"
Step right up to be entertained
Your popular culture is a chip in your brain
You can't see
The people with no faces
You can't see
The people with no faces
Got to get some glasses
Got to get some glasses
Some of those cheap sunglasses,
Roddy Piper
Step right up to be entertained
While bankers are banking, politicians take the blame
"Hey, hey over here"
"I've got something shiny"
You can't see
The people with no faces
You can't see
The people with no faces

International Sensation

International Sensation
She was and international sensation
Carrying her own bags to the station
No cameras flashing, no hesitation
Boarding the 10:34 north to isolation
She's got a brand new scandal and the hounds are closing in,
They're always starving for the fat of a brand new celebrity sin
Tabloid gossip gold is about to be found
She'll be oblivious to the frenzy
she won't be around
She's carrying her own bags to the station
Boarding the 10:34 north to isolation

Take the Bed

Take the Bed
Damn it, if you're gonna leave
Take with you, that old clock
I'm tired of looking at those hands at three and four
while you're out half way across the block
I don't need it
Please do me a favour
when you leave
Bring it along too
Woman, if you have to leave
take with you, that old bed
Take the sunlight from the morning
Take the windows, take the flooring
Leaving them here would be cruel
I can't sleep with the shadows
Bring it all on with you
Okay, so you're gonna leave
Take with you, that old hound dog
He's just been mopin' around, cryin' and howlin'
Like a stray dog headin' for the pound
He's shameless,
Wears his heart on his sleeve
But if you take the dog
You better leave a little room for me
('cos I'll be coming along.. too)

A Room at the Plantation
04:19

You came into my room
and lay your head upon my chest
I put my arm over you
and fell into the deepest rest
I dreamt of walking in the woods
You and me, buzzing bees and summer buds
and by the old fort walls we lay down
between blades of grass and the ghosts of the battle ground
And then, high off on the hill
Appeared a silhouette, I can see it still
The outline of your father, gun on shoulder
On the other side I felt my skin get colder
I'm a shade too dark for his daughter
He promised me a bullet if I laid a hand upon her
But the bayou pulled him under late last year
Leaving all he owned to the one that he held so dear
Then, back at the Plantation
I woke up in my own room
How was I to know I wasn't dreaming?
Wrapped up in linen and you
