1. Quicksand - (2:14)
Ok... now the monster is awake
it won't rest until there's nothing left
maybe ever and anon
I forget about the pain
someone bending light comes along
and flowers lean towards the sun
some people fall in love and touch the sky
some people fall in love and find quicksand
I hover somewhere in between... I swear...
I can't make up my mind
2. A Kiss To Send Us Off - (4:16)
Meet me here
on November 11th, come alone
bring your mouth
and selective irreverence
we'll both see stars. just...

One more tongue kiss before the sky it falls
out from this cloud we're hovering on!

(A kiss to send us off!
a kiss to send us off!
a kiss to send us off!)

Kill your doubt
with the coldest of weapons; confidence
no more words, ooh
just the sound of resplendent tongues colliding

One more tongue kiss before the sky it falls
out from this cloud we're hovering on!

(A kiss to send us off!
a kiss to send us off!
a kiss to send us off!)

(A kiss to send us off!
a kiss to send us off!
a kiss to send us off!)

Here I am
there you are
on the wire connecting our hearts
there's a string that is tied to a kite
there's a storm in the sky
now the clouds become electric
there you are
here I am
could I...
have a...
kiss to send us off? a kiss to send us off!
a kiss to send us off!

A kiss to send us off!
a kiss to send us off!
a kiss to send us off!

(A kiss to send us off!
a kiss to send us off!
a kiss to send us off!)

(A kiss to send us off!
a kiss to send us off!
a kiss to send us off!)
3. Dig - (4:17)
We all have a weakness
but some of ours are easier to identify
look me in the eye
and ask for forgiveness
we'll make a pact to never speak that word again
yes you are my friend
we all have something that digs at us
at least we dig each other
so when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday

If I turn into another
dig me up from under what is covering
the better part of me
sing this song
remind me that we'll always have each other
when everything else is gone, oooh

We all have a sickness
that cleverly attaches and multiplies
no matter how we try
we all have someone that digs at us
at least we dig each other
so when sickness turns my ego up
I know you'll act as a clever medicine

If I turn into another
dig me up from under what is covering
the better part of me
sing this song (sing this song)
remind me that we'll always have each other
when everything else is gone
oooh each other
when everything else is gone

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oooh

If I turn into another
dig me up from under what is covering
the better part of me
sing this song (sing this song)
remind me that we'll always have each other
when everything else is gone
oooh each other (sing this song)
when everything else is gone
oooh each other
when everything else is gone
4. Anna Molly - (3:46)
A cloud hangs over this city by the sea
I watch the ships pass and wonder if she might be (might be)
out there and sober as well from loneliness
please do persist girl, its time we met and made a mess

I picture your face in the back of my eyes
a fire in the attic, a proof of the prize
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly
doo doo doo doo doo do, doo doo doo doo doo do

A cloud hangs over and mutes my happiness
a thousand ships couldn't sail me back from distress (distress)
wish you were here, I'm a wounded satellite
I need you now, put me back together, make me right

I picture your face in the back of my eyes
a fire in the attic, a proof of the prize
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly
I'm calling your name up into the air
not one of the others could ever compare
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly!

Wait there is a light
there is a fire illuminated attic
fate, or something better, I could care less
just stay with me a while
wait there is a light
there is a fire defragmenting the attic
fate, or something better, I could care less
just stay with me a while

I picture your face in the back of my eyes
a fire in the attic, a proof of the prize
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly
I'm calling your name up into the air
not one of the others could ever compare
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly!

(Wait there is a light
there is a fire defragmenting the attic
fate, or something better, I could care less
just stay with me a while)
doo doo doo doo doo do, doo doo doo doo doo do
5. Love Hurts - (3:57)
Tonight we drink to youth
and holding fast to truth
I don't want to lose what I had as a boy
my heart still has a beat
but love is now a feat
as common as a cold day in LA

Sometimes when I'm alone, I wonder
is there a spell that I am under
keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Love hurts
but sometimes it's a good hurt
and it feels like I'm alive
love sings
when it transcends the bad things
have a heart and try me
cause without love I won't survive

I'm fettered and abused,
I stand naked and accused
should I surface this one man submarine?
I only want the truth
so tonight we drink to youth!
I'll never lose what I had as a boy

Sometimes when I'm alone, I wonder
is there a spell that I am under
keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Love hurts
but sometimes it's a good hurt
and it feels like I'm alive
love sings
when it transcends the bad things
have a heart and try me
cause without love I won't survive

Without love I won't survive

Love hurts
but sometimes it's a good hurt
and it feels like I'm alive
love sings
when it transcends the bad things
have a heart and try me
cause without love I won't survive

Love hurts, oooh, love hurts
without love I won't survive
love hurts, oooh, love hurts
without love I won't survive
6. Light Grenades - (2:20)
We're given a garden,
and gave back a parking lot
(we got about fifteen minutes to go!)
before this audience starts
throwing tomatoes, yeah!
(it's not the end, there is more show!
we got about fifteen minutes to go!)

Survived the plague, floated the flood
just peeked our heads above the mud
no one's immune, deafening bells
my god, will we survive ourselves!?

I'm not an alarmist
but someone should break the glass
(and pull that red T-lever down!)
to get their attention
start lobbing the light grenades
(that burst and blind them with the truth,
an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!)

Survived the plague, floated the flood
just peeked our heads above the mud
no one's immune, deafening bells
my god, will we survive ourselves!?
survived the plague, floated the flood
just peeked our heads above the mud
wipe off your face, we've come this far
come on! remember who you are!

Survived the plague, floated the flood
just peeked our heads above the mud
no one's immune, deafening bells
my god...
survived the plague, floated the flood
just peeked our heads above the mud
wipe off your face, we've come this far
come on! remember who you are!
come on! remember who you are!
come on! remember who you are!
(remember! remember!)
come on! remember who you are!
(remember! remember!)
come on! remember who you are!!!
7. Earth To Bella (Part I) - (2:28)
Earth to Bella
you think you've got it all figured in
earth to Bella
everything you know is wrong... well, almost

Earth to Bella
I've seen when you are not listening
I bear the burden
of being the voice that lets you know
we all grow old
and before you swim you've gotta be ok to sink

Earth to Bella
the world can be an unfriendly place
so hold your head up (hold your head)
and do your best to save some face
it's not so hard
just undo yourself
and see a second sun ascend

Ok to sink
I'm ok to sink
ok to sink
ok to sink

8. Oil And Water - (3:49)
You and I are like oil and water
and we've been trying, trying, trying
ohhhh, to mix it up

We've been dancing on a volcano
and we've been crying, crying, crying
over blackened souls

Babe, this wouldn't be the first time
it will not be the last time
there is no parasol that would shelter this weather

I've been smiling with anchors on my shoulders
but I've been dying, dying, dying
ohh, ohh, ohh, to let them go

Babe, this wouldn't be the first time (wouldn't be the first time)
it will not be the last time (will not be the last time)
there is no parasol that would shelter this weather
babe, this wouldn't be the first time (wouldn't be the first time)
it will not be the last time (will not be the last time)
we were trying to believe that everything would get better

We've been lying to each other
hey! babe! let's just call it, call it, call it
ooh, what it is!
oil and water! (wouldn't be the first time)
oil and water! (will not be the last time)
oil and water! (wouldn't be the first time)
ooohhhh
9. Diamonds And Coal - (3:46)
If it's good to complicate then both of us are doing fine
just keep your eyes on your part and leave me alone to mine
if it's good to instigate, we're a fast horse, bet on us
I'm not calling you an animal, I think we just fight too much

Come on, in spite of this we're doing just fine
even diamonds start as coal
give us time to shine
even diamonds start as coal

We're both aligned in frame of mind
but circumstance got us good
and now you're seeing a side of me
I wished no one ever would
yeah, if it's right to pick a fight
we're fingers in a sugar bowl
love isn't perfect
even diamonds start out as coal

In spite of this we're doing just fine
even diamonds start as coal
give us time to shine
even diamonds start as coal
oooh, even diamonds start as coal
yeah, we're incomplete and infantine
even diamonds start as coal

Give it time girl the fire feels divine
the sweetest things they burn before they shine
we think way too much (we think way too much)
look at us losing touch (now we're losing touch)
a promise is a promise until

Yeah, in spite of this we're doing just fine
even diamonds start as coal
give us time to shine
even diamonds start as coal
oooh, even diamonds start as coal
yeah, we're incomplete and infantine
even diamonds start as coal
10. Rogues - (3:56)
I'm keeping an eye on the future
an eye on the past
and the present in my pocket
just in case I need a door
into a brave new world
where all solutions end up with my head
buried to my neck in sand

Enough, enough bowing down to disillusion!
hats off and applause to rogues and evolution!
the ripple effect is too good not to mention
if you're not affected, you're not paying attention!
it's too good, it's too good, not to have an effect!

I'm keeping an eye on the pulse
an ear to the track
and penance in a locket
I'm dropping from the highest floor
when it hits ground
I watch it smash to pieces
songs of liberation
echo from the dust, the dust

Enough bowing down to disillusion!
hats off and applause to rogues and evolution!
the ripple effect is too good not to mention
if you're not affected, you're not paying attention!
it's too good, it's too good, not to have an effect!

Enough, enough, enough, enough, enough
enough, enough enough, enough, enough
bowing down to disillusion!
hats off and applause to rogues and revolution!
the ripple effect is too good not to mention
if you're not affected, you're not paying attention!
it's too good, it's too good, it's too good, yeah
11. Paper Shoes - (4:17)
I fly, I soar
this I adore
and then like a locomotive
the sound of your sorrow comes

I'm tired of the way that it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
but I think I've outgrown that horsehair sweater
I'd rather be alone
you're 'bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers
but pain will roll off like water on feathers

You'd fly, you'd soar
but then like a locomotive
the sound of your sorrow comes

I'm tired of the way that it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
but I think I've outgrown that horsehair sweater
I'd rather be on my own
you're 'bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers
but pain will roll off like water on feathers

I'm tired of the way that it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
but I think I've outgrown that horsehair sweater
I'd rather be on my own
you're 'bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers
but pain will roll off like water on feathers
12. Pendulous Threads - (5:35)
Mend this careless thread, it's gone askew
(thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
or pull and see how much we can undo
(thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)

On a burning bridge, your options are minimal at best
depending on where you're standing
and how much breath is in your chest
if it came down to it
would you high-tail home and hide?
or dance on fire and enjoy the ride?

Mend this careless thread, it's gone askew
(thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet!)
or pull and see how much we can undo
(thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet!)

At the heart of it all
that innermost, your fiery core
there's an amassing armor
it's building you into a bore
life's a match in a gas tank
don't ever mourn the ebbing tide
just dance on fire and enjoy the ride!
hey!

Mend this careless thread, it's gone askew
(thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet!)
or pull and see how much we can undo
(thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet!)
hey! hey! hey!
hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey! hey! hey!

Mend this careless thread, it's gone askew
(thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet!)
or pull and see how much we can undo
(thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet!)
13. Earth To Bella (Part II) - (2:58)
Earth to Bella
this is a quiet emergency
earth to Bella
there's so much more to get than wronged
oooh, yeah

Earth to Bella
you're treading water successfully
but are you really?
don't you want to see the deep?
it's not so hard
just forgive yourself and feel the water open in
