I went out riding on a summer night And I met a good friend of mine She was looking around at all the pretty young things Like I'm also often inclined Well don't you think there's something important we missed That it's much too late to find We'll never know, we'll just grow old Feeling we wasted our time The sun was falling on the rooftops We found our way to a bar After a few we had put it all down Told each other just how dumb they all are I saw us together in my heart but it's true In bitterness we've gone too far X's for eyes, tell no more lies She can't hold up her head anymore I took her home to where she lives all alone And brought her inside I told her then that I guessed she would Probably survive But being smart never helped anyone And she mumbled something then cried Well maybe so, I had to go It's much too late for her and I

Taken from the masses Willingly they go Their personal entrapments Less important then the show Keepers feeding on the set Bring them in to their new cage (it doesn't matter who will win only that the tempers rage) The fans are getting restless Sitting in their sullen homes Distracted by a baby Or the ringing of the phone Caesar raised his mighty hand the host bears a smile then the doors are opened up And so begins the trial Black eyed mother slings a shot And the housewives give a cheer Her fat husband answers back To the booing and the jeers

Monkey Tribe 02:28
Talking to a woman I met Trying not to stare at her books That's why I'll look you in the eye An orange cone will suffice It was out there in the schoolyard When we ran across the lines Polishing the perfect skins Of new green apples Now she's working in an office Happily we'll slave away Watch the movements down the hallway Quickly turn your phrase away In an alley we would go to You'd see mine and I'd see yours We did not know what was legal The lawyers have set us straight I's no secret no more As we sit together at the bar You know that you could phone home And that I might just be a total sweetheart Somehow I'm still shocked to see that Everybody looks just great Now no one's talking 'bout those Crazy days gone past

Zee Fantos 03:26
Here I am again Soiled with need I've got a secret Just you and me I know it doesn't matter Except for stubborn pride But on our very souls The debts have run so high Freedom has no meaning Without the rock of shame Eroded by the ocean Washed out with the waves Look me in the eyes And rightly be afraid For if you see a monster We're one and the same I know it is a burden Desire grown so old I wish it could console me That you don't let me go Because I've wandered far away I dream you are my home And even more it hurts me To see you on your own

Beastly 02:45
Down by the river and railroad cars Where the air is stale and old There sits a cage if twisted bars Whose beast it could not hold It seems the crowds have all gone home And returned to their lives Dreaming aware of reddened lust For which all meat strives Don't say a word if you understand Give a grunt to reply I've seen it on a roof downtown Silhouetted against the sky Tell me now when you look at me And I would not ask why Have you seen the hungry stare Or heard the feral cry
6.
Hairless 03:49
What was that you said my friend I heard you whisper low If I was all covered with hair I would let it show But it's not right, I'm feeling white Don't really wanna know You've got yours and I've got mine That much I know is true I see the mammals, I pay the price Just like at the zoo I just cant tell which side of the cage is it me or you A walking ramp, a lighted stage A pole on which to spin Bulging pockets, with small change That lies within A little heat, a pounding beat Some inexpensive sin

Separation 04:15
Did she ever really take me To the darkness of her heart Or was she already broken Long before the start When she let go And watched me drift away Both of us were less for words We didn't dare to say Ignorance comes only once Then dumber every day First you gamble with your soul And then you pay and pay Did she know how high I held her Untouchable with grace Did she see the blind devotion That was written on my face When she let me go I was easily erased Just another obstacle That she once had faced Like the blood that's spilled And with alcohol replaced Your chances don't improve with time Until you know it's all a waste Did she know that where I took her Was the darkness of my heart That I was already broken Long before the start When I let go I could see it in her eyes The place that all abandoned hope Decays then finally dies When it's time for the truth To take off it's disguise If each one's in their life alone I'll find it no surprise

Out 04:01
Out like the warning lights In the car of your mind Cool like an ice cube That tastes like rotten meat Floating in a glass of old crow Hip like leaning on the pinball machine Talking to someone else Caught in the headlights Of someone I hardly know Gone like a wish You can't remember why you made Spent like someone else's money On a lottery Drunk like an old friend Who doesn't know when to stop
