Do you have the time?
Do you have the world at your feet?
Whats that you say?
Seems like im stuck on repeat
A little hostile
But only coz i hate everything
You caught me on a Tuesday
Tomorrow i'll love all that life brings
Summer's on its way
Im feeling ok
Im doin fine
SLINK
Its another day
Its another new day
I feel so alive
Underneath my earthquake
Sun is shining bright
But its not shining my way
Really i dont mind
Underneath my earthquake
Take everything and put it all in its right place
But i forgot to tie it down so now its all floating away
Dont worry anymore
Everything is ok
You should visit me
Underneath my earthquake
Take everything and put it all in its right place
But i forgot to tie it down so now its all floating away
Take everything thats left and tie it down with wire
But i forgot to read the rules so its all gone up in a ball of fire
LATE NIGHT PHONE CALL
I couldnt handle it
What if tonight ...
Late at night the phone rings
You wonder, who could this be?
Prank? Salesman? Wrong number perhaps
Deep down you know its worse than that
Tonights the night for bad news
You've heard that ignorance is bliss
Now you know just what is meant by this
You were smiling not long before
You still would be if you hadnt taken the call
Its something that we all fear
But something that many will have to hear
Im not sure that i can take the pain
So im never picking up the phone again
I couldnt handle it
What if tonight its you?
JOHNNY RAPTOR
Got the call at 2.30 in the morning
Didnt matter much to me, i hadnt slept for days anyway
I put on a coat, took a belt of whiskey and headed for the door
When i got there the bodies were already starting to stink up the alley
What was left of them anyway
Some punk kid detective said he'd fill me in on the situation
I just pushed past him and said i'd see for myself
The 7 inch claw marks i'd been dreading were all over the bodies as plain as day
Theres no mistaking whos work this was
This had Johnny Raptor written all over it
Johnny the dinosaur
He will eat you raw
So you'd better run
If he catches you your days are numbered
It was then that i decided Johnny had taken his last victim
I'd seen too much blood spilled on the streets
Too many lives cut short for no other reason than that sick dinosaurs pleasure
Oh yes id bring him down this time
Even if it meant playing dirty
I thought about paying a visit to Earl the snitch
Make with the chin music until he canaries
But first id need some refreshments
I went to tell the kid detective to go get me some donuts and scotch
But he had already taken off
All i saw was a glimpse of his tail as he rounded the corner
It wasnt till later i realised that kid detective was not a kid at all
I mean i only knew one guy with a tail, and it was the same guy whod been giving me all this greif with these moiders
Johnny had been there all along in disguise and id just let him walk away
How could i have been so stupid?
HIT MY HEAD
Once I was my father's son and that was certainty
Once i thought that if i screamed and screamed then people would notice me
Once when id play my guitar id impress everyone id see
Once i could hold my head up high and that was enough for me
'We dont need no education'
She writes the next line and gets it all wrong
I hit my head so hard for her but she doesnt even know the words to the song
If that was the beginning i think im finally starting to see the end of it all in a way
There something still here deep inside me but i can feel it dying a little more every day
Once i thought that if i was kind then love would come to me
Once i thought that things had changed and there was hope for me
SKYE
All the world has frozen through
And the payment is overdue
But what does that mean to you?
When the sky is so blue
And he just looks overfed
But soon he will be dead
'Doesn't matter' is what you said
When the sky is so red
But dont save me, i'll make it on my own
Youd like to see your name up in neon lights
But it would all look the same when the sky is so bright
THE WAITING GAME
Let's play the waiting game
One roll of the dice takes days and days
And in an instant it all could change
And nothing will be the same again
And you know im just as scared as you
But im hanging round to see this through
There is no sense to whats happening in this world
And the ones that brought us here cant help but make things worse
Lets act like nothing is wrong
And everything is right as rain
Dont really know what we want
Coz its something we just cant say
And you know im just as scared as you
But im hanging roung to see this through
There is no sense to whats happening in this world
And the ones that brought us here cant help but make things worse
But if its my turn to spread the disease i will not break down
I wont fall to my knees
I will stand so proud and do the best that i can do
And everything will be all right just because im here with you
DOESN'T MATTER
Still make me nervous, but would it be unkind
If i told you i want you to get out of my mind?
Coz this kind of chance won't visit every day
And if its any comfort its not that easy to say...
Red and yellow flowers lying dead on the floor
I was overwhelmed then but i dont feel it any more
A hanging lamp shade meant everything that day
And i must admit its still a little hard to say...
It doesn't matter any more
