Lazarus Is Dead

LAZARUS IS DEAD
Lazarus arise! Ditch that coma and open up your eyes
He fought his mind, scattering pockets of least resistance
Could not unwind, removed himself from existence
He failed the test, propped lifeless strapped into a chair
No time to rest, still ageing man with no cares
Lazarus arise! Ditch that coma and open up your eyes
Lazarus arise! Ditch that coma and open up your eyes
A stainless bed, pressure points object to skin
Robot head, plugs in ears just to keep out the din
Cathode ray man, his life defined by a sine curve
Empty hands, several gestures to unlearn
Lazarus arise! Ditch that coma and open up your eyes
Lazarus arise! Ditch that coma and open up your eyes
Charts are waiting
Machines are waiting
God is waiting
But Lazarus is dead
Charts are waiting
Machines are waiting
God is waiting
But Lazarus is dead
Hollow tubes, exchanging juices, eternal headache
An empty room, just too real to be all fake
Lazarus arise! Ditch that coma and open up your eyes
Lazarus arise! Ditch that coma and open up your eyes

Hope Dies Last

Hope Dies Last
Had a feeling in my bones
Abandon home, abandon home
Let’s admit it wasn’t working
Let it go, left right go
Hope dies last of all
Before you fall
Remember this
I gave my all, gave my all, gave my all, gave my all
Take some pills you won’t remember
Order of them
Three or ten?
Oh yeah, I don’t recall it
That time ago, long time ago
Hope dies last of all
Before you fall
Remember this
I gave my all
“I don't want your hope,
I don't want you to be hopeful.
I want you to panic,
I want you to feel the fear I feel every day.
And then I want you to act”
Strayed from path, forgot your vow
Saw your tools, they were down
Deceit was long enough to suffer
Let me go
Should’ve let me go
There’s a place I will be waiting
Fires glow
Abandon hope
Hope dies last of all
Before you fall
Remember this
I gave my all, gave my all, gave my all, gave my all, gave my all
Gave my all, gave my all

Automaton
I, deal with my lot.
I, I am robot
Search, for a function
Don’t, push my buttons
I don’t have opinion, I am just a number
Towing the party line, do it right and you’ll be fine
I don’t have opinion, I am just a number
Towing the party line, do it right and you’ll be fine
All null and void (Automaton)
I will destroy (Automaton)
All null and void (Automaton)
I will destroy (Automaton)
I, stick to programs
That’s, all I am
I, got God above me
He, did my assembly
I don’t have opinion, I am just a number
Towing the party line, do it right and you’ll be fine
I don’t have opinion, I am just a number
Towing the party line, do it right and you’ll be fine
All null and void (Automaton)
I will destroy (Automaton)
All null and void (Automaton)
I will destroy (Automaton)
Follow instructions
No more interruptions
Follow interruptions
No more instructions
Do, do, do it again
Do, do it again
Do, do it again
Do, do it (again)
All null and void (Automaton)
I will destroy (Automaton)
All null and void (Automaton)
I will destroy (Automaton)

Songbirds
On an ordinary day, in an ordinary life
I wanted something, to warm me inside
Life is, favouring the brave
They fall around me, I have to pray
Oh, I hear songbirds
Bring me songbirds, in my life
I can feel the fear, growing in my mind
Always waiting, waiting for the light
Dark days, merging into one
I am living, to hear that song
Oh, I hear songbirds
Bring me songbirds, in my life
Oh, I hear songbirds
Bring me songbirds, in my life
I hear that song
It’s coming up
A sunny morning
It brings a new day
Welcome the morning
It’s coming up (It’s coming up)
A sunny morning (A sunny morning)
It brings a new day (It brings a new day)
Welcome the morning (Welcome the morning)
Remember the time (Remember the time)
We had our lives (We had our lives)
Remember our lives
It’s coming up (It’s coming up)
A sunny morning (A sunny morning)
It brings a new day (It brings a new day)
It’s so warming (It’s so warming)
Remember the time (Remember the time)
We had our lives (We had our lives)
We had our lives
I hear that…

SODA QUEEN
Drag the U-haul to the coast
She always played the perfect host
Raise your glass and make the toast
The gravity that we like most
Erasing past lives
She’s my Soda Queen, all hail the Soda Queen
She’s my Soda Queen, she’s not coming back for you again
Showed promise, told me I’d go far
All I did was go from bar to bar
Kept her sweet, used the formula
But you can’t lose the right hand scar
Erasing past lives
She’s my Soda Queen, all hail the Soda Queen
She’s my Soda Queen, she’s not coming back for you
She’s my Soda Queen, all hail the Soda Queen
She’s my Soda Queen, she’s not coming back for you again
All hail the Soda Queen, all hail the Soda Queen
All hail the Soda Queen, all hail the Soda Queen
All hail the Soda Queen, all hail the Soda Queen
All hail the Soda Queen, all hail the Soda Queen
All hail the Soda Queen, all hail the Soda Queen
All hail the Soda Queen, all hail the Soda Queen

Recoil
Into the red again
You can no longer say
You’ll get off scot-free
Redemption costs
Greased my photo-lens
This camera obscura
In my rear view mirror
Just dumped the corpse
‘Cos I was slapped
Slapped back and forth
Recoil again ‘til the bitter end
Slapped, slapped back and forth
Recoil again, my neck can mend
Blue, white and red again
Get drunk on vodka
Just order another
My sister’s dead
Broke my mother’s heart
She’ll just have to learn
Her boy is interned
With his mechanical friend
‘Cos I was slapped
Slapped back and forth
Recoil again ‘til the bitter end
Slapped, slapped back and forth
Recoil again, my neck can mend
Slapped, slapped, slapped, slapped
Basking in sun again
The heat in this car
Bakes far too hard
I’m dreaming of sleep
Trapped in a closed room
All this can hinge
On a verbal exchange
But the moonshine’s cheap
‘Cos I was slapped
Slapped back and forth
Recoil again ‘til the bitter end
Slapped, slapped back and forth
Recoil again, my neck can mend
Slapped, slapped back and forth
Recoil again ‘til the bitter end
Slapped, slapped back and forth
Recoil again, my neck can mend

Good Cop, Bad Cop
I’m the man about town
My ears to the ground
You want all the latest
Wanna see what I found?
Who are you?
What are you?
I’ll never go down
You won’t last the bout
Faster than you think
You won’t work it out
Who are you?
What are you?
I’m the bad guy
Good cop, bad cop
You wanna shake me (down)
You want the info
Not gonna break me (now)
Good cop, bad cop
So frustrating
Ain’t gonna tell ya
You’ll never break me (out)
Good cop, bad cop
You’re gonna shake me (down)
You want the info
Not gonna break me (now)
Good cop, bad cop
You love and hate me (and how)
Ain’t gonna tell ya
You’ll never break me (out)
You’ll never break me out
See that I’m famous
I’ve been in the papers
Jealous of glory
You’re just a failure
Who are you?
What are you?
I’m the one that you fear
Whenever I’m near
You know what’s coming
In the headlights, dear
Who are you?
What are you?
I’m the bad guy
Good cop, bad cop
You wanna shake me (down)
You want the info
Not gonna break me (now)
Good cop, bad cop
So frustrating
Ain’t gonna tell ya
You’ll never break me (out)
Good cop, bad cop
You’re gonna shake me (down)
You want the info
Not gonna break me (now)
Good cop, bad cop
You love and hate me (and how)
Ain’t gonna tell ya
You’ll never break me (out)
You’ll never break me out

Evil In My Eye
Gotta do as they told ‘cos they say so
Back in line, through a megaphone
Don’t fight back, you’ll be on your own
Unless we get this band on a roll
Lost patience, it’s getting old
On the last straw, can we overthrow?
Fallen empire keeping all the gold
While the poor get homeless and cold
Run ‘til you fall down
Run to the light
I’ve got a mission on my mind
Run ‘til you fall down
Run for your life
I’ve got an evil in my eye
In my eye
Donnie go and get some wood for the fire
We’re gonna build it high and make a pyre
Can’t tell me you’re lacking motivation
I want dry wood, not vegetation
Run ‘til you fall down
Run to the light
I’ve got a mission on my mind
Run ‘til you fall down
Run for your life
I’ve got an evil in my eye
In my eye
Dance to their tune, or their gonna get you
My baby, alright!
Don’t make a stand, they’re gonna beat you back
My baby, alright!
I’m gonna drive to sunshine, evil in my eye
I’m gonna get to the sunshine, evil in my eye
I’m gonna drive to sunshine, evil in my eye
I’m gonna get to the sunshine, evil in my eye
Run ‘til you fall down
Run to the light
I’ve got a mission on my mind
Run ‘til you fall down
Run for your life
I’ve got an evil in my eye
In my eye

They Shoot Horses
So I remember
Something before the war
We’d weaken forces
Never ask what for
We’d walk the tightrope
Sit on the fence
We’d run the gauntlet
With no defence
I could sell you something for nothing
And it would be okay
I need to unsaddle the horses,
They get shot today
I could tell you a load of sweet nothings
And it would be okay
Just rest your eyes, my sweet child
They shoot horses, don’t they?
I remembered something
About the plans we made
We’d practice band but
Never was parades
Reciting Latin
Decline in every tense
Our family motto
“Commit to excellence”
I could sell you something for nothing
And it would be okay
I need to unsaddle the horses,
They get shot today
I could tell you a load of sweet nothings
And it would be okay
Just rest your eyes, my sweet child
They shoot horses, don’t they?
This time, I can’t, no way
This time, I can’t, no more, no way
This time, I can’t, no way, uh-huh
This time, no more, no way
This time, time, this time, no more, no way
This time

SOCIAL BUTTERFLY
I wanna talk about character assassination
I don’t belong to any humankind
I’ve had a change with amorphisation
Devil’s design, I’m a Social Butterfly
I don’t feel my fingers anymore
They’re too far inside the pie
I don’t feel my conscience anymore
I’m a Social Butterfly
About this wonderful, thoughtful organisation
Couldn’t organise the proverbial brewery
We are gonna have an emancipation
‘Cause we’ve gone to the dogs with the false economy
I don’t feel my fingers anymore
They’re too far inside the pie
I don’t feel my conscience anymore
I’m a Social Butterfly
We’ll have a celebration
Contracts have been signed
We are gonna be infamous
Totally shameless, I really don’t mind
We’ll have a celebration
Waiting for, waiting for the ink to dry
I don’t feel my fingers anymore
They’re too far inside the pie
I don’t feel my conscience anymore
I’m a Social Butterfly

Rock Bottom
A million things that I could
Plough on through
A whole damned universe
Has everything but you
Everything but you
I am on my way
To rock bottom
I will get there soon
All my problems will be forgotten
I will be with you
Procrastinate ‘til I can
Put it off no more
Do a last minute job where
The planning was poor
The planning was poor
I am on my way
To rock bottom
I will get there soon
All my problems will be forgotten
I will be with you
Throwing it all away ‘cause
It’s no good
I know what’s coming up
And I smell blood
Go ahead and break my heart
Go ahead and break my heart
Go ahead and break my heart
Go ahead and break my heart
I am on my way
To rock bottom
I will get there soon
All my problems will be forgotten
I will be with you
