1. Give (remix)
Give (remix)
the guilded youth of all are dancing wildly
the air is a bloodred stream flickering
formed by thousand lights
(the world's going down
the world's going to the devil
so come on down to metropolis)
come into my arms
leap into my mind
i clothe the naked
give eyes to the blind
(tilgi oss for vi vet ikke hva vi gjør)
anything you want you'll get
you want promises i can't keep
that you want the dreams out of my sleep
you haunt the dreams out of my sleep
so tell the fly on the wall that i will stay
so anything you want you will get
but not from the foetus of my mind
forever
come into my arms
leap into my mind
i clothe the naked
give eyes to the blind
like a drop in the ocean
(is all the rest - is all we have)
i promised you the earth
(is all the rest that remain)
and i'll give fear to the rain
i'll cut the frost beneath your feet
i will tell you where the rain will fall
and i will tell you why the bedroom is so cold
come into my arms
leap into my mind
i clothe the naked
give eyes to the blind
2. P-Machinery
P-Machinery
on joyless lane we walk in line
a calm but steady flow
accompanied by loud commands
our strength is running low
another hope feeds another dream
another truth installed by the machine
a secret wish the marrying lies
today comes true what common sense denies
rotating wheels of destiny in flames the city rise
machines call out for followers
come out into the night
greeting the machine
drowning in the steam
installed by the machine
another hope feeds another dream
another truth installed by the machine
a secret wish the marrying lies
today comes true what common sense denies
installed by the machine
feeds another dream
installed by the machine
a drowning in the steam
installed by the machine
3. Octopus
Octopus
alive under water
i breathe into straws
i swim under water
a swimming horse
alone under water
i walk under water
i sleep under water at night
i cry under water
i fly under water
i'm safe under water at night
i swim i swim i am
i walk under water
i've made up my mind
i will walk under water until i shine
to be like another
turn water to wine
what i see of the surface
is what i read between the lines
i tried to kill myself
now i shine
awake under water
i will stay under water
'till i drop i'm alive
i'm alone at last
i tried to kill myself
now i shine
4. Toys
Toys
in your memory there are words unspoken
in your memory there is a silence broken
and if there is a sky where the angel meets the ghost
and if there is a god
i am the one to hurt you the most
a thousand songs to christ
i will try to understand
a million times, a million toys
all you need is a choice
in your silence of your violence
of your adolescent desire
as i can see, you're still here
and you pretend to be
as i can see, you're still here
and we are meant to be
5. In Oblivion
