Berlin 04:27
Care to join me settle down Ive been in the parlor for a while now Under lock and key my intentions with an ink pen Smiling so it seems Then Ill ask myself Can I consciously define The concept of the great divide Hope I can find the patience cause ive Waited my whole life To see the world Ive waited my whole life tosee the world Headline international casualty Let me keep my head Wish me well Im on my way Im on my way Headline international casualty Let me keep my head Wish me well Im on my way Im on my way Can I be so bold to say that approached it with all Confidence The brashness of a criminal An oscilating love affair Do I extol the virtues of a man so disposed The daftness of an imbecile They let me keep my head Cause Ive waited my whole life to see the world Ive waited my whole life to see the world Headline international casualty let me keep my head Wish me well Im on my way Im on my way Headline international casualty let me keep my head Wish me well Im on my way Im on my way Im going to berlin to see if I cant make the cinema Going to berlin to see if I cant make the cinema Ive heard that theres an arcade in cologne With ruby red slippered dancing girls and all Sha lalala Headline international casualty let me keep my head Wish me well Im on my way Im on my way Headline international casualty let me keep my head Wish me well Im on my way Im on my way

Fallout 04:30
Sound the alarm A siren shoutin breachin the calm Theres a line on my floor Last exit to the world that I know Theres panic among All the faces that you’ve come unto love The hills to the north Are a kaleidoscope of unnatural calm Theres a hole in my wall A picture perfect view of the sprawl I remember it all A color wheel of trees in the fall The flowers that bloom ya Are a pale shade of nuclear If Im so inclined Ill need a moment just to sort through the times After the fall It will never be the same as it was After the fall It will never be the same as it was no Fall out fall out Ooh better than ashes Fall out fall out Ooh better then ashes Now Im standing half awake in the starlight Eyes blinking oh dead ringer Just like my own, Just like my own This is not my beautiful life This is not my beautiful home So unfamiliar So unfamiliar Atomic super nova sitting heavy in the western sky Its alright Its alright Atomic supernova sitting heavy in the western sky Its alright its alright

Lily 04:25
Lily wrote me a letter she signed it with a smile The end she said I love you Im leaving you for a while Ill take a space ship ride to anywhere as long as its far from here Goodbye Charlie Your Kindness is killing me Oooooh ooooh oh oh Oooooh oh ohoh Sometimes I get cold sweats When I sketch your silhouette, silhouette I can shadow it later Silhouette silhouette I can shadow it later Silhouette Silhouette Silhouette Its simple now, Its Simple now Its simple now, Its Simple now Look alive my loves a hammer hit too heavy at times I scratch the surface man Im so outta line , so outta line So outta line, so outta line Look alive youre like a killer with a switchblade knife You cut me open hey You cut me open Sleep on my inside Shes gonna run away Cant fall asleep wont settle down now Ive been awake ya for a while now With stereo on I can see for miles and miles around me Cant fall asleep wont settle down now Ive been awake ya for a while now With stereo on I can see for miles and miles around me Its simple now, its simple now oh oooh Its simple now, Its simple now oh oooh

I heard it on the radio when I tuned in today Your voice came out my speakers like some Gospel sung parade I just turned off my beroom light So I could fall away It takes me back to yesterday Yesterday I must have been ahard man always spoiling for a quarrel I shouldn’t have been so rough on someone So damn genuine Not to worry baby You wont be home tonight Your headed off to Brooklyn to see those big bright city lights I got these little ghosts dancing in my head They look a lot like you and me in my head When I would dance all night alone with you When I would I dance all night alone with you Of all words like razors to my ears Ill play the deaf man, Ill play the deaf man Shes sees it all through rose colored lenses She sees it all through cellophane eyes And the walls were made of velvet You got flowers in your hair It takes me back to yesterday Yesterday Repeat chorus

Orchards 04:34
Put on my plaid coat, And walk out the front door With all of my longings trailing in tow Finish my whiskey Walk out in the cold With all my possessions All I had in the world I was but a boy When they run me out of town I put cloth to flame Then I burned their chapel down I saw blood on the water Bury me on county grounds The hallowed kind Oh oooo ohoh I think I ll head to the hills or a while its cool there theres orchards the valley are wide An adverse disconnection With a beautiful world A functional dystopia One I call my own Certain terse inflections When I speak of what I know Nothin bout nothing All I had in the world Hollow man of nothing pictures Renaissance at heart Hollow man of nothing pictures Renaissance art heart The autumn leaves are fallin fast Id say fall on me cause Im fallin Fast All twisted branches All twisted branches I think Ill head to the hills for a while Its cool there theres orchards The valleys are wide

Radiator 05:14
There was a soft spark From the electric light A dull hum from the radiator Short fuse in the television The static is gone The static was mine And the coffee had come to a boil So black Hot as a fire, yes hot as a fire The London fog, covered all for miles and mile and miles Grey scale gracing the grandest towers above You cant hide their charm You cant hide their charm Dare I say my devilish ways Have dampened my opinion of this once Idyllic place And I know, I know Its my numb appreciation of the world I know, I know It’s my numb appreciation of it all Cautious of my Karma on the floor Its just me blededing conscience By the vial Nevermind the flowers on the wall Its just me killing kindness with my love, love Mother always said I was a charming lad A smiling boy that kissed the girls And watched the world pass by I like the setting sun Rapture in its mellow glow Could I could I be so peculiar Could I Could I come so undone Cautious of my karma on the floor Its Just me bleeding conscience by the vial Nevermnd mind the flowers on the wall its just me killing kindness with my love

The Tragedy 04:45
The devil or so Ive heard a work of art I left home for the city with an optimistic vigor And a picture of my brother close to heart I had to see the south land Exquisite beyond all measure A cautionary tale of urban charm I listened for the ocean Resonating softly Like ancillary whisper in my blood Ive always been a drifter a mercenary lover Looking for a place to make my grave This silver tongue pariah I will make a beautiful corpse one day I was labled a tragedy They cast me off a misfit So I heard Contemplative contemporary A matter of opinion so Im told Darling Im an ordinary man A dreamer in wasteland Ill try and get out alive Ive got the sentimental stare of a Zombie Ultraviolet showing no love Silk screen gaze of a stranger Dumbstruck glare of the dead I don’t mean to put my quarrels on ya I tell you its no trouble at all Am I drunk or am I dreaming at this terrible hour Dawn caught me so unaware Oh my my bless my soul these troubled waters Trouble Im told
