Fallen for a guy,
Fell down from the sky
Halo round his head
Feathers in our bed
In our bed, in our bed
Fallen for a guy,
Fell down from the sky
Halo round his head
Feathers in our bed
In our bed, in our bed
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
Asked if I would try
To leave this all behind
Halo round his head
Dreaming in our bed
In our bed, in our bed
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
And I plead and I pray
And I plead and I pray
And I plead and I pray
And I plead and I pray
And I plead and I pray
And I plead and I pray
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
And I plead and I pray
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
And I plead and I pray
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say

Subway
I lost you on the subway car
Got caught without my metro card
I waited and I waited for the express train
Wanna catch up to you wherever you are
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
And it was hot
And when it stopped
It was metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
It was metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
Got on the train and I took a seat
Thought why all these people all watching me
Caught my reflection in the subway car
Thought look at you whoever you are
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
And it was cool
And when it stopped
It was metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
Metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
Well I got I got I got I got
Got off got off on you
Well I got I got I got
Got off got off got off on you
Well I got got off I got
Got off got off got off on you
I got I got I got
Got off got off got off on you
It was metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
It was metal on the mental
Some somethin' in my heart
Got caught without my metro card
I waited and I waited for the express train
Wanna catch up to you wherever you are
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
And it was hot
And when it stopped
It was metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
It was metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
Got on the train and I took a seat
Thought why all these people all watching me
Caught my reflection in the subway car
Thought look at you whoever you are
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
And it was cool
And when it stopped
It was metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
Metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
Well I got I got I got I got
Got off got off on you
Well I got I got I got
Got off got off got off on you
Well I got got off I got
Got off got off got off on you
I got I got I got
Got off got off got off on you
It was metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
It was metal on the mental
Some somethin' in my heart

Mosquito
Mosquito, mosquito, mosquito
Mosquito sing, mosquito cry
Mosquito live, mosquito die
Mosquito drink most anything
Whatever's left, mosquito scream
I'll suck your blood...
Mosquito sing, mosquito cry
Mosquito live, mosquito die
Mosquito land on your neck
Mosquito drink whatever's left
He'll suck your blood...
They can see you but you can't see them
They can see you but you can't see them
So are you gonna let them in?
They're hiding underneath your bed
Crawling between your legs
They're sticking it in your vein
Were you itching when they called your name?
Were you itching when they called your name?
They'll suck your blood
Mosquito sing, mosquito cry
Mosquito live, mosquito die
Mosquito drink most anything
Whatever's left, mosquito scream
I'll suck your blood...
Mosquito sing, mosquito cry
Mosquito live, mosquito die
Mosquito land on your neck
Mosquito drink whatever's left
He'll suck your blood...
They can see you but you can't see them
They can see you but you can't see them
So are you gonna let them in?
They're hiding underneath your bed
Crawling between your legs
They're sticking it in your vein
Were you itching when they called your name?
Were you itching when they called your name?
They'll suck your blood

Under The Earth
Down, down under the earth goes another lover
Down, down under the earth goes another lover
Down, down under the earth goes another lover
Twelve times put a hex on you
Small mouths don't dare to shout out
No fun for a night out
No fun for a night out on the town
Twelve times put a hex on you
Small mouths don't dare to shout it out
No fun for a night out
No fun for a night out on the town
Run away, run away
[?] that you'll stay here
On your own, on your own you're not safe [x2]
Down, down under the earth goes another lover
Down, down under the earth goes another lover
Milk you for what you're worth and call it murder
Down, down under the earth goes another lover
Twelve times put a hex on you
Down, down under the earth goes another lover
Down, down under the earth goes another lover
Twelve times put a hex on you
Small mouths don't dare to shout out
No fun for a night out
No fun for a night out on the town
Twelve times put a hex on you
Small mouths don't dare to shout it out
No fun for a night out
No fun for a night out on the town
Run away, run away

On your own, on your own you're not safe [x2]

It eats your soul, like tears you fall, my slave
You steal, you heed the call, my slave
The keys, the keys are gone, my slave
You keep me beating on

You steal, you heed the call, my slave
You keep me, you keep me, your slave
You keep me, you keep me, your slave

On the throne
Heads down all day
Come feed on your love
You steal, you heed the call, my slave
The keys, the keys are gone, my slave
You keep me beating on

Area 52
Message came from outer space
Future of the human race
Help is not gonna hide its face
Let it go, shed your skin
Children never sleep again
I wanna be your passanger
Take me as your prisoner
I want to be an alien
Take me please, oh alien
I wanna be an alien
Take me, oh, oh
Your instruments can't stop our ships
Soon you'll be up in it
Rest will [?]
Let it go, have your day
Space will take your cans away
I wanna be your passenger
Take me as your prisoner
I wanna be an alien
Take me please
I wanna be an alien
Take me please, oh alien
You must taste our violent fuzz
Your wars are of no use to us
You cannot fix what never was
Let it go, have your day
The media is on its way
I wanna be your passenger
Take me as your prisoner
I wanna be an alien
Take me please, oh alien
I wanna be your alien
Take me please, oh alien
Future of the human race
Help is not gonna hide its face
Let it go, shed your skin
Children never sleep again
I wanna be your passanger
Take me as your prisoner
I want to be an alien
Take me please, oh alien
I wanna be an alien
Take me, oh, oh
Your instruments can't stop our ships
Soon you'll be up in it

Buried Alive
Free yourself that leash is long long long [x4]
I dreamt...
I was buried alive
[x4]
Prognostic figure of speech to manifesto
Dr. Octagon move in the dark though
Multiply darkness, I'm the bright artist
Hologram image on the interface
Manage the code to bury them alive
Manage the code to bury them inside
Show smoke from the smoke machine
Lights on the top flash purple and green
Purple and mean, rise with the vampires
Look over skies from a high-rise
Doc Oc operate by the clock
Medicine bag come down by your block
Raise the dead, hypnotize with your head
Chemical react surgery to your head
Eyeballs up all night turn red
Free yourself that leash is long long long [x4]
I was buried alive, I was buried alive, I was buried alive [x3]
Turn red...
I dreamt...
I was buried alive
[x4]
Prognostic figure of speech to manifesto
Dr. Octagon move in the dark though
Multiply darkness, I'm the bright artist
Hologram image on the interface
Manage the code to bury them alive
Manage the code to bury them inside
Show smoke from the smoke machine
Lights on the top flash purple and green
Purple and mean, rise with the vampires
Look over skies from a high-rise
Doc Oc operate by the clock
Medicine bag come down by your block
Raise the dead, hypnotize with your head
Chemical react surgery to your head
Eyeballs up all night turn red
Free yourself that leash is long long long [x4]
I was buried alive, I was buried alive, I was buried alive [x3]
Turn red...

Despair
Don't despair, you're there
From beginning to middle to end
Don't despair, you're there
Through my wasted days
You're there through my wasted nights
Oh despair, you've always been there
You were there through my wasted years
Through all my lonely fears, no tears
Run through my fingers, tears
They're stinging my eyes, no tears
If it's all in my head there's nothing to fear
Nothing to fear inside
Through the darkness and the light
Some sun has got to rise
My sun is your sun
Your sun is our sun
Oh despair, you were there through my wasted days
You're there through my wasted nights
You're there through my wasted years
You're there through my wasted life
You've always been there
You were there through my wasted years
Through all of my lonely fears
Run through my fingers, tears
They're stinging my eyes, no tears
We're all on the edge, there's nothing to fear
Nothing to fear inside
Through the darkness and the light
Some sun has got to rise
My sun is your sun
Your sun is our sun
From beginning to middle to end
Don't despair, you're there
Through my wasted days
You're there through my wasted nights
Oh despair, you've always been there
You were there through my wasted years
Through all my lonely fears, no tears
Run through my fingers, tears
They're stinging my eyes, no tears
If it's all in my head there's nothing to fear
Nothing to fear inside
Through the darkness and the light
Some sun has got to rise
My sun is your sun
Your sun is our sun
Oh despair, you were there through my wasted days
You're there through my wasted nights
You're there through my wasted years
You're there through my wasted life
You've always been there
You were there through my wasted years
Through all of my lonely fears
Run through my fingers, tears
They're stinging my eyes, no tears
We're all on the edge, there's nothing to fear
Nothing to fear inside
Through the darkness and the light
Some sun has got to rise
My sun is your sun
Your sun is our sun

Wedding Song
With every breath I breathe
I'm making history
With your name on my lips
The ages fall to bits
In flames I sleep soundly
With angels around me
I lay at your feet
You're the breath that I breathe
Some kind of violent bliss
Led me to love like this
One thousand deaths my dear
I'm dying without you here
In flames I sleep soundly
With angels around me
I lay at your feet
You're the breath that I breathe
You're the breath that I breathe
The breath that I breathe
The breath that I breathe
You're the breath that I breathe
I'm making history
With your name on my lips
The ages fall to bits
In flames I sleep soundly
With angels around me
I lay at your feet
You're the breath that I breathe
Some kind of violent bliss
Led me to love like this
One thousand deaths my dear
I'm dying without you here
In flames I sleep soundly
With angels around me
I lay at your feet
You're the breath that I breathe
You're the breath that I breathe
The breath that I breathe
The breath that I breathe
You're the breath that I breathe
