Medazzaland

Oh, Medazzaland
Medazzaland

I had a problem they said they can solve
Soon I won't speak
I have no words left in me
I dream in pictures but the sound is muted
I have no way to understand what they say
Into Medazzaland

People are starting to talk
But I don't hear them anymore
Now I can't see
But I'm still able to think
Do I have any feeling left?
What are they saying about me?
Do they really understand what's wrong?
I feel their hands on my skin
The time has come for them to begin
I'm sinking deeper and deeper
Into Medazzaland

I can feel the scalpel on my skin
It's cutting in deeper and deeper
I'm in Medazzaland
Oh Medazzaland

Big Bang Generation

Falling into space
At the end of time
Black as the black in your eyes
Staring through a hole in the ozone
There's nobody home
To play back your answer phone
Climax out of blue
With just another high
No there must be something new

Now that I'm so alien
Entering the atmosphere
Don't know what is waiting here
If there's nothing left to fear
When they come to gather in
The Big Bang Generation

Teardrops in the sky
Bursting my eye
Sound of a morning sigh
This life is stranger than fiction
Surreal addiction
It's all recognize
Beating of the habit
Losing control
Where is it leading to?

Now that I'm so alien
Entering the atmosphere
Don't know what is waiting here
If there's nothing left to fear
When they come to gather in
The Big Bang Generation

(feel like I'm losing control)
Big Bang Generation
(now all our heroes are gone?)
(feel like I'm losing control)
Big Bang Generation
(feel like I'm losing it)
Big Bang Generation
We're gonna come together here

Where are you coming from?
When are we gonna burn out? Don't know
Having so much fun
Greetings from the Big Bang Generation
Big Bang Generation
Need you in the Big Bang Generation
Together in the Big Bang Generation
Together with the Big Bang Generation

Electric Barbarella

I knew when I first saw you
On the showroom floor
You were made for me
I took you home
And dressed you up in polyester
Princess of my dreams
Emotionless and cold as ice
All of the things I like
The way you look
The way you move
The sounds you're makin'
In Ultrachrome, latex and steel

I plug you in
Dim the lights
Electric Barbarella
Your perfect skin
Plastic kiss
Electric Barbarella
Try to resist
Then we touch,
Hallucinate and tranquilize

(she's so fine)
(she's all mine)

Our private life is subject to investigation
No time to waste
People say they heard about our deviation
But you never looked so good
Wear the fake fur and fake pearls for me
And put on your mystery
The way I feel you know
I never keep you waiting
In Ultrachrome, latex and steel

(chorus)

Princess of my dreams
Princess of my dreams
majordomo plasticomo Barbarella
(She's so fine)
Progenetic you Electric Barbarella
(She's all mine)
My pretty pretty
Pretty pretty
Barbarella

Out Of My Mind

Light a candle, lay flowers at the door
For those who're left behind and the ones who've gone before
Here it comes now, sure as silence follows rain,
The taste of you upon my lips, the fingers in my brain
Ever gentle, as it kills me where I lay
Who am I to resist, who are you to fail?

Got to get you out of my mind
But I can't escape from the feeling
As I try to leave the memory behind
Without you what's left to believe in?

Could be so sorry, for the way it had to go
But now I feel your presence in a way I could not know
And I wonder, do you ever feel the same?
In whispering darkness, do you ever hear my name?

(chorus)

(Here in the back of your mind)
(Here in the back of your mind)

And how could you dare,
To become so real (become so close to me...)
When you're just a ghost in me
And I've...

(chorus)

Here in the back of your mind
Deep in the back of your mind
Here in the back of your mind
Deep in the back of your mind
Deep in the back of your mind...

Who Do You Think You Are?

I'm giving you the news
Your domination's through
You gave the best you've got
Now I'm out on top

If you're in any doubt
Listen to me
I've got a right to say

If you know what it's all about
Who do you think you are?

Don't wanna be your enemy
If I'm not the one you want me to be
And I've gotta do things the way that I do

Always trying to control
Who do you think you are?

Our time on earth is running through
(It's not a question of my pride)
Sometimes I think it's a game to you
(You wonder how to feel inside)
Sometimes I play along
But man I've got a mind!

You've gotta live with yourself
For the rest of you life
Do you understand?
Everybody asks the same question
Who do you think you are?

Why do feel ashamed
When you can't explain the things I say
To other people

This just occurred to me
A possibility
The thought that you might really want to be me

Silva Halo

You shine where others fade,
You dare to be so brave
Don't compromise, no one can touch you
Just believe, just believe

Come to heaven silva halo
Come to heaven silva halo
Silva halo

Be My Icon

I'll follow you
I'll wait for you
You know there's no escape from me
You're more than wallpaper
In my room
I write you letters
And bring you gifts
I'm going through all your trash
I love you so much
I keep your cigarette butts

Now is the time to come out
Come out of the shadows
No need to be scared
You're gonna be so happy
I built you a shrine
Now you can be my icon

I'm out on the edge
There's no way back inside
All my friends are gone They didn't understand me
It makes so much sense
It's no coincidence
Just you and I alone here
And I need you
Oh

How many hours have I stared at my face in the mirror
I get worried sometimes that the image will shatter

No need to be scared
You're gonna be so happy
I built you a shrine
Now you can be my icon
No need to be
Scared
Now you can
Be My Icon

I know this is real
Believe it
We belong together
What ever happens
You're gonna be with me
Forever

Be my icon
You will be my icon
Be my icon
You will be my icon

Buried In The Sand

Can't say that I was surprised
When you broke the ties
They were hanging by a thread
But now I have realized
It couldn't be the same
Cause everything has changed
And still I held out my hand
Tried to pull you back
But you were buried in the sand

I'm glad that you came along
But here our journey ends
I say goodbye to you
My very dear friend

You were buried in the sand

Michael (You've Got A Lot To Answer For)

I came over your place today
In a roundabout sort of way
Nothing holding me
Just the company
Gentle giving the afternoon

Don't ever try to be any more
Michael, you've got a lot to answer for
You unlocked some of the doors
To my soul

And I don't see you for awhile
Thinkin of you will make me smile
You never bother me with responsibility
Misbehaving in candlelight

Don't ever try to give any more
Michael, you've got a lot to answer for
You got me wakin up wise to the world

Trust you to get caught up in somebody's war
You'll come out of it all in time, I'm sure
Just remember what friends were put here for
Michael, you've got a lot to answer for

And I know that you're gonna call
If you need me
When you need me
If you need me

Midnight Sun

As I watch you flickering slowly
In the shadows, nothing to hold
It's as if I don't recall our time before
And would it be so wrong
Not to remember?

There are times I look at you differently
Like I've never seen you before
After all we've done
You could be someone
I don't know at all
Don't know you at all
Catch me I don't want to fall

But you pull the mountain from under me
Look, I'm dangling up in the blue
And it's a cartoon kind of eternity
Before I drop down to you
What am I supposed to do now?

There is something beautiful shining
In the hollow knot of your head
If only for a while it seemed to come from the sky
But it's in your head
Yes it fills your head

You and I don't always fly
Let me go I want to fall
Deep into the dark
But I'll come back to you

And I'll always know how to find you
Cause you shine like the midnight sun

So Long Suicide

Now goodbye baby it's time to break
Habits that you've faced
Sweet sorrow while the cherished dead
Oh in my mouth, every breath I take
Although I need you I don't want to bleed for you

So long suicide
Gone right outta sight outta mind
Leave me alone and abandoned

Hello, I'm alive
I'm lone and alive and I know
In my bones I know what I'm good for
Hello I'm alive
I'm lone and alive
Yes I know, in my bones
I know what I'm doing

I stole the beauty and taste the hurt
There's always time for pretty flowers
Growing in the dirt
But time is your needle into my heart
And I must be hollow
Cause I can't follow there

(chorus)

Hello, I'm alive
I'm lone and alive and alone
In my bones I know what I'm good for
Hello I'm alive
I'm lone and alive
Yes I know, in my bones
I know what I'm doing

I'm scared of being all unknowing
But I swear to live like anyone
And you know it's hard to make it
But a light goes on

And after all the crash and swell
We are just human
And after all is said and done
We're only human
You're out of sight and out of mind
I'm saying so long suicide

The half dream shape of yesterday
In bloom tomorrow

Undergoing Treatment

We are undergoing treatment
Watching others in the news
Studying our worst reviews
They say we'll get over it
Disappear like dinosaurs
To the sound of sole applause
Designed to make us special

If you see me walking in the garden
Don't ever ask me for an autograph
If you ever catch me in the arcade
Don't even stop me for a photograph

We are undergoing treatment
Till our ethic fits the scene
Layed out in Q Magazine
They crave our conformity
Mediocre to the bone
Terrified testosterone

But why do we still face the music
If you see me walking in the garden
Don't ever ask me

Now and then you get the strangest notion
That there's something missing
But it keeps you guessing
Wild ambition can you really blame us?
Can you entertain us?
Can you give a little more?

(chorus)

We are undergoing treatment
Will the doctors ever cure
These delusions of grandeur?

Sinner Or Saint

Stand bold, for the ride
Right now, you know that is the place to be
To watch humankind, stumble into another century

Take no prisoners
Their sure at giving you the run-around
Violance, on your mind
Cus your attention is the battleground

What are you?
A sinner or saint
You gotta be
A sinner or saint

Ice cool walawyers
Straight up and guerentee your gonna get
All that you deserve
Sit down, blockin your way, seen nothin yet

(chorus)

What are you?
That is your fate
You gotta be
A sinner or saint

Some people love too fast
Some people live too long
And so I've got to ask
Do you know right from wrong?
Mister Templar, will you ever, really be a saint...

Still on for the ride
Who cares if you loose or win
They can bleed you dry
When you're, a pumping the adrenelin

(chorus)

What are you?
It's never too late
You gotta be
A sinner or saint...

Ball And Chain

Early Morning
As the day is dawning
You're street gutter crawling
When the sun comes up

Baby Crying
Says today she's dying
But she's always lying
And that's a ball'n'chain

You got the ball'n'chain
You're in the ball'n'chain gang
Coz you're the ball'n'chain man

Bruises for breakfast
Ain't nobody's business
But pain's a lonely mistress
And you can't give up
(That's a ball'n'chain)

Flame burning
Money that you're earning
And you will be returning
With a ball'n'chain

(chorus)

Why do you love me
When you don't need me
Why do you want me all of the time?
In my whole life, didn't get no peacetime
And I don't care if I live or die

(that's a ball'n'chain)

You got the ball'n'chain
You got the ball'n'chain
You got the ball'n'chain
You got the ball'n'chain
You got the ball'n'chain
You got the ball'n'chain
You got the ball'n'chain

You got the ball'n'chain
You're the one to blame
You got to love that pain
