1.
I was born at an early age I learned to dress in rags, and not to say it And how to say it
2.
I was a pale imitation, Eating meat with midgets Sleeping with freaks, Short-circuiting my digits
3.
My Heaven 04:03
There's an angel out my back door Dressed in a wedding gown Misleading my emotions She picks up all the dirt she found Then she gives it to me That's when I come down
4.
U-Boat 02:08
Waterlogged, not nice and tight I wonder if the fish will bite?
5.
My third world wife, she want war But for me face to face ain't enough anymore
6.
It's like this: a kiss is just a fist
7.
By The Sound 02:57
I go by the sound of your voice In a room of your choice
8.
I'm living in a dream, I'm living in a jungle I've got no car, but I'll get far I've got love, orders from above I've got wings and everything
9.
Punchline 02:22
I'm working on a formula, my head glows in the dark Kneeling on the ceiling, oh what a feeling ///////// I'm learning Learning to live Learning to live with it
10.
Turn back and recall again: the fifth year in flames It's what beats what Stay angry and look at me Everyone should be alert Everyone is ready to fight Moscow is burning, burning, and I don't wonder why
11.
New Look 03:36
Art's apart of what you're going through today It was someone else's line but honey, it's mine, now this way
12.
Moonjob 04:03
Money talks People mumble Talk is cheap, so to speak
13.
Pretty Money 03:44
When they released you, The police they must've teased you Unarmed I held you
14.
Life for some is one long explanation Yeah, it's a movie every minute You're in trouble, now I'm in it Everybody else is Everybody else is It's everybody else's account of the story, It's got me on needles and pins
15.
It's all quiet on the western front She's looking for a son She wants me to be the one, But the damage is done
16.
Which Ocean? 03:50
I didn't recognize you brother Which ocean did you say? Which ocean did you say? The hand that gives is the hand that takes away
17.
I'm a stranger here myself Lightning over water
18.
Now every dream is just a dead ending
19.
Retro Metro 04:25
Dead-end in the garbage in the suburbs so upset, I've got the same old feeling, the one I aways get The violins they played while I danced on my head Inside the station, so patient, my love wept
20.
I saw that big galoot Drooling in his suit Watch out for that brute, He thinks you look so cute Boys don't play coy, They just hang around and wait Boys will be boys, But it's much too late It's absolutely modern, Later never never came Now you're on the street again You're absolutely modern...
