Model Son

who was on watch when they dropped the ball
when they took em all down and they put em in a bog?
lights go out, jacks roll in
black water come down and they pull out the pins
poor little Johnny never grew up tall
little baby Jane she never made it out at all

model son
you're the one
you know they're gonna use you in reruns
you know they're gonna use you in reruns

woe woe woe woe woe woe woe

one made it out but he had no jaw
couldn't talk his way out of a run with the law
they tried to run him down but the child was flawed
he run em right back to the big black bog

little brother think he got the whole thing beat
knows all the angles and he's fleet on his feet
on his feet on his feet on his feet

model son
you're the one
you know they wanna use you in reruns
you know they only see you in reruns
you know you got the power to rerun
you're the one they're calling when they need to get things done

who was on watch when they dropped the ball
when they took em all down and they put em in a bog?
who was on watch when they dropped the ball
when they took em all down and they put em in a bog?

woe woe woe woe woe woe woe

Berlin Wall

I wanna live by the Berlin Wall
in the shadow and the ruins of a hallowed hall
a black hawk history a mirror ball
a place that tells me there's no tower that can't fall
I wanna live by the Berlin Wall

I wanna live by the Berlin Wall
I wanna dream a dream that had a life and already died
it's a dream about a real live war
we're in a bunker and we're dancing on a dirt floor

when we get well they sell another magic spell
when we get well we'll see if we still believe

I wanna live by the fireside
don't wanna dream a dream that had a life and already died
in my dream we will have made it through
no talk of memories no future to pursue
I wanna live by the fireside

I wanna live by the fireside
all the friends we make we'll cook 'em and we'll eat 'em up
when the wind blows up those sparks will rise
we recognize a friend and call him out of his disguise

no I won't kiss the ground some monument some crime
and I won't be around forever for all time
when we get well they sell another magic spell
and then we'll see if we still wanna be ourselves

Monster

monster here run away
to die and just mail it all away
no subpatroling this place
give up the blood on a plate
let it run

call your friends
and we'll be there with you
if it's innocent you are
then we are innocent too

don't forget it's a scarred land
daydream realize

call your friends
and we'll be there with you
if it's guilty that you are
then we are guilty too

make her awake
make him awake
what a mistake

all our friends
what will we do
we're all so guilty
and not so innocent

awake
way
awake
way
awake
way
awake
way

call your friends
and we'll be there with you
if it's innocent you are
then we are innocent too

call your friends
and we'll be there with you
if it's guilty that you are
then we are guilty too

Monarchia

uncommon danger
whenever you show
gold you are golden
down dressing fire

flashing your black cards
open a door

folding the light you are
stunning alive
thousands of miles have
abandoned your eyes

I can't remember
the last time I saw this
gold gold gold
gold gold

I can't remember
I can't remember

never forget they are
trying to make you

go go go
go go go

Hold My Little Baby

I hope you find a way to bring it back
run and run, fireflies, a sneak attack
forgetting that you really must get home
you leave your shoes and laugh inside the pain
now torture is a reasonable refrain
I hold my little baby

magazines they're killing people just for fun
what that means, even I'm still thinking of
torture is a reasonable refrain
and numbers they keep coming up the same
I can't keep all the reasons in my brain
I hold my little baby

can't believe we made it so far on this run
please forgive me even if it's only just this once
all my little speeches all the smack
the point of it is slipping through the cracks
something makes me want to take it back
and hold my little baby

all I know is that you waited there for me
held your own like you had chosen not to leave
I wonder at the pressures in your mind
you let them work the coal behind your eyes
a precious thing is neither yours nor mine
I hold my little baby

Oui Camera Oui

salt and soul
shaking in your eyes until you fold
we can wait all night until you fold
watch your secrets go

you know they sold you out
for a black market turbine
they wanna run me off the grid
you're gonna talk
before I set you walking
we'll settle this
we'll settle this man

George and Martha
sitting on a bicycle seat
they like to ride down the middle
while they dangle their feet
he never holds her
she never holds on
da dada dada dadadada

salt and soul
shaking in your eyes until you fold
we can wait all night until you fold
watch your secrets go

you're money now
pulled it all together somehow
you keep it down
you never make a scene
you never shake you
wipe the blade clean

George and Martha
sitting on a bicycle seat
they like to ride down the middle
while they dangle their feet
he never holds her
she never holds on
da dada dada dadadada
he never holds her
she never holds on
da dada dada dadadada

George and Martha....

he never... she never... da dada dada dadadada

oh oh oh oh oui camera oui
