This is a message from the land of ice and snow
One thousand secret places you can never go
One thousand secrets you can never ever know
We're gonna have a little Chernobyl just for him
Look to the red light, but the red light's growing dim
We're fighting for something that we can never win
The opposition that you face, well they live inside your head
This is a message, it's a warning from the reds
They're not gonna stop until all of us are dead
What happens when you look directly at the sun
What happens when you're facing down a loaded gun
You end up in the hospital while the world is on the run

Melancholia
02:06
|
|||
Suffocate inside my taxi
Gravity is nonsense now
Fumes that smell like dodgy cigarettes
And she's smoking like a factory
I can see her through the glass
She exists, but only in my mind
And the room is slowly spinning
And the radio is on
A seat of polyvinyl chloride
I can see her through the glass
Her body's here, her soul is far away
Far away, far away, far away

Fake Joy Division Song
02:34
|
|||
A transmission from me to you
An act of passion is not a death wish
I did what you asked me to
And look where it got the both of us
A transmission in an empty room
I heard your voice from across the landline
My heart is racing and I can't stand still
I don't know when, but they're coming to slaughter us
The heat of passion
The wrath of god
An invitation to the infirmary
Propaganda
The fog of war
Misinformation, We're living in fear of life
A transmission from me to you
Whatever happened to communication
I keep on praying to satellites
But you move on and then I pass away
Away, away, away

Black Rubber Gloves
02:37
|
|||
Did you recieve the news?
He disapeared
Vanished in the night
It's worse than we feared
The boy was confused
And fighting bad ideas
They whisper in my brain at night
'Till I'm bleeding from my ears
Black rubber gloves
Black rubber hands
They're coming to your neighbourhood
Burrowing beneath the soil when they land
They're taking over everyone
The weather man on channel number fifty one
They say it's getting hot
So they're making it colder
They're gonna give me shots
They're gonna make me a soldier

Monster
03:54
|
|||
When you look at yourself and all you see is a monster
You don't know who you are
When your closest of friends don't wanna know you
You know you've gone too far
If you're feeling alone then I want you to calm down
And be alone with me
After all, you're my favourite monster
Please stay here with me
When you're lying in bed and you can't get your head down
Bored of counting sheep
If you're staying awake thinking about tomorrow
You'll never get to sleep
If you're staying awake then I want you to calm down
And stay awake with me
After all, you're my favourite monster
Please stay here with me
If you carry the weight of the word on your shoulder
You won't get very far
When you look at yourself and all you see is a monster
You don't know who you are
If the world gets you down then I want you to calm down
And watch the world with me
After all, you're my favourite monster
Please stay here with me
After all, you're my favourite monster
Please stay here with me

This body of mine that I'm standing in
This body of mine that I'm standing in
This body of mine that I'm standing in
Abandoned by god, abandoned by the goverment
Resort to mutilation on a Saturday night
Bleeding on the carpet, bleeding on the carpet
Threw me into the fight without a weapon
I'm hollow inside, they took away my medicine
Better run, better run, little son of a bitch
It'd take a lot o' lovin' to scratch this itch
Don't wanna be son to a mother
Everybody bleeds one way or another
I was born a Frankenstein
I wanna break free from this body of mine
(Frankenstein)
Daddy's comin' home late and his pocket's getting fat
I don't wanna wait, I hate it when he calls me that
I'll die at the hands of the clowns we're working for
I'll die at the hands of the clowns we're working for
Don't wanna be son to a mother
Everybody bleeds one way or another
I was born a Frankenstein
I wanna break free from this body of mine
I was born a Frankenstein
I wanna break free from this body of mine

St James Infirmary Blues
01:28
|
|||
Folks I'm going down to St James Infirmary
To see my baby there
She's stretched out on a long white table
So sweet, so cold, so fair
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can search this great wide world over
But she'll never find another sweet man like me
When I die bury me in my straight leg britches
Put on a box back coat and a stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So you can let all the boys know I died standing pat
Then give me six crap shooting pall bearers
Let a chorus girl sing me a song
Put a rock'n'roll band on my tombstone
Praise hell as we go along
Folks, now you have heard my story
I'll tell you another and it's true
And if anyone should ask you
You tell them I've got those St James Infirmary blues

I've got a little book
And there's an envelope taped to the back page
It's written in red
And the weather on my face, well it feels like a razor blade
I'm living in a house that was renovated
Courtesy of the BBC a television special
I'm moving to the suburbs
Away from the bleach and the blood stained carpet
It's a ghost town
Going right down
They're coming for me
And I don't know when
It's a ghost town
Coming right now
I feel dizzy and it's making me sick
So I'm sitting by myself in a bathroom stall
My only friend is a silver fish
That's where you'll fine me, third along from the wall
I'm waiting for my mother
Nailed to her head is an eviction notice
I'm going back there in the summer
When the trash comes in 'cause you missed collection
It's a ghost town
Going right down
They're coming for me
And I don't know when
It's a ghost town
Coming right now
It's a ghost town
Going right down
They're coming for me
And I don't know when
It's a ghost town
Coming right now
Coming right now
Coming right now
I've got me a brain
And you're damned if you think I'm gonna use it
I'm in so much pain
And it's never gonna stop, and it's never gonna stop, no
It's a ghost town
Going right down
They're coming for me
And I don't know when
It's a ghost town
Coming right now
It's a ghost town
Going right down
They're coming for me
And I don't know when
It's a ghost town
Coming right now
Coming right now
Coming right now
Coming right now
Coming right now

Fake Devo Song
05:00
|

You ain't got no brain in your head
You don't dream when you're lying in bed
You are electric, you are electricity
You're a machine, you are empty
You're a product of the time, you are static
You're a product you can buy wrapped in plastic
You're a triple decker sandwich held together with American cheese
You're an all American doggy praying down on your knees
You better say your prayers because the weather is gonna get warm
The weatherman told me, you've been warned
You're the brain of a bird spliced onto the body of an ape
You're an ape of a man and you're a fool if you think you can escape
You're a man with a plan and the plan is doing what you're told
And the weather's getting hot, so they're making it cold
You're the red white and blue in the pancakes of our hearts
You're the heart shaped hiney upsetting the apple cart
You're the apple pie in the sky, in the eye of god
You're the godlike being whose name spelt backwards is dog
Your subservience is a service to our nation
And you're serving in the USA (USA, USA)
Your subservience is a service to our nation
And you're serving on planet Earth
You're the piggy in the middle and they ain't got nothing on you
(Little piggy in the middle)
You're the last of the species and there ain't nothing that you can do
(You're the last of the species)
You're a Frankenstein monster and they ain't got nothing on you
(Frankenstein, Frankenstein)
You're a clone from the zone and they ain't got nothing on you
(Clone zone, clone zone)
And the sharks in the ocean, they ain't got nothing on you
(Little shark in the ocean)
And the refrigerator-man, he ain't got nothing on you
(Refrigerator)
And the television stations, they ain't got nothing on you
(Television, I watch TV)
And the big corporations, they ain't got nothing on you
This monkey wants to walk with you
(Monkey-man, monkey-man, monkey-man, monkey-man)
This monkey wants to talk with you
(Monkey-man, monkey-man, monkey-man, monkey-man)
This monkey wants to run with you
(Monkey-man, monkey-man, monkey-man, monkey-man)
This monkey is in love with you(
Monkey-man, monkey-man, monkey-man, monkey-man)
Cheeseburger, monkey-man, television, I watch TV
Cheeseburger, monkey-man, we are DEVO, I watch TV
Cheeseburger, monkey-man, television, I watch TV
Cheeseburger, monkey-man, we are DEVO, I watch TV

Paper Doll People

Who is the moth man?
Where did he come from?
Who is the moth man?
Where did he come from?
I read it in a magazine
Two headed baby
Plastic cockpit
Pornographic inkblot
Typewriter people
Standing at the bus stop
Dressed in leatherette
Dalai Lama cigarrette
I read it in a magazine
Propaganda ministry
How to spot a UFO
How to spot a UFO
How to spot a UFO
How to spot a UFO
I read it in the paper
(In the paper she was cut)
She was cut to pieces
(Cut to pieces, paper doll)
Paper doll people
Standing on a hubcap
Who is the moth man?
Where does he come from?
Who is the moth man?
Where does he come from?
I read it in a magazine
Telescopic sex change
How to drive your UFO
How to drive your UFO
How to drive your UFO
How to drive your UFO

Take my advice
(Kick the dog when he's down)
He ain't gonna hurt you
(Kick the dog when he's down)
He ain't gonna fight
(Kick the dog when he's down)
Kick him while he's down
And one more thing
(Metal mouth, metal mouth)
Don't forget to watch your mouth
(Metal mouth, metal mouth)
We've got a Doolittle over here
(Metal mouth, metal mouth)
Don't forget to clean your bones
And one more thing
(Kick the dog when she's down)
Kick the bitch when she's down
(Kick the dog when she's down)
Kick her while she's down
(Kick the dog when she's down)
Kick the dog when she's down

Burnt out projector
Charlie Manson
Bring your wives
Bring your daughters
Abandon hope
All men be cursed
You son of a bitch
I'll see you in the hearse
And I'm on my own again
And I'm on my own again
And I'm on my own again
And again, and again
It's red alert
On planet Earth
There ain't no god
There ain't no Captain Kirk
Televisions
Telephones
Tell your sisters
Tell your folks
Never been so lonely
Never been so bored
I am the disease
And no one has the cure
And I'm on my own again
And I'm on my own again
And I'm on my own again
And again, and again
It's red alert
On planet Earth
There ain't no god
There ain't no Captain Kirk
Well theremin't no Father Christmas
And I ain't William Shatner
I'm not a hero
I'm just an actor
My allies have retreated
And I ain't got no friends
No one thinks I'll come out on top
And no one pretends
I heard it on the radio
In the other room
Crowded out his ghost moved in
And left my house a tomb
Gasoline cardboard boxes
In the hall
Spiral marimba goes on forever
On my wall
In the woodland
Potter's field
On the dashboard
Steam powered wheels
Morning the loss of someone
I never knew
I believe in second chances
But not for you
And I'm on my own again
And I'm on my own again
And I'm on my own again
And again, and again
It's red alert
On planet Earth
There ain't no god
There ain't no Captain Kirk

Staring at the Radiator
00:56
|
|||
I find myself upset for no reason
Listening to my old songs in the dark
Is it me or is it the season?
That chose to suffocate my heart
So what's the point?
Staring at the radiator
People look at me like a zombie
Or sometimes they ignore me like I'm a ghost
But still the melancholy haunts me
They say they wanna know me
But I know they don't
Staring at the radiator
