Do It

All things happen eventually,
Slow then slower then fast
and suddenly
you appear from nowhere -
The sparks light up everywhere.
You and me, no time like this:
One thousand miles starts with a kiss.
One thousand miles starts suddenly -
Surprise explodes into the air;
Into a new day with you;
Into one thousand miles for you.

The slower the climb,
the better the view -
For you I’ll start the day
(A new first step)
With your kiss.

One thousand miles
starts with your first step,
So do it, yeah just do it;
Our journey starts
right here, right now,
So do it, yeah just do it;
Start today, start now, start here,
right now.
One thousand miles -
just do it;
Yeah, we should do it:
One thousand miles starts
right now.

So do it:
A journey of one thousand miles
starts with your kiss -
So do it, with a kiss.
Start each day
(A new first step)
With your kiss.

One thousand miles
starts with your first step,
So do it, yeah just do it;
Our journey starts
right here, right now,
So do it, yeah just do it;
Start today, start now, start here,
right now.
One thousand miles -
just do it;
Yeah, we should do it:
One thousand miles starts
right now.

So do it…
Yeah, do it…
We should
Do it.

Growing Young

Everyone is crazy, everyone is sane -
Different only by degrees.
Anyone is pain, anyone is joy:
All things are in all things.

We were born, we will cry, we will laugh,
And we will die.
Our best is yet to come,
Everyone is growing young.

It takes some time to reach your prime -
Don’t turn away, throw your hat in the ring,
Just do your thing.
Our best is yet to come,
Everyone is growing young.

Time is the great motivator
to live now, not later;
Whatever you’re doing, don’t stop,
Give it another shot.

Everyone is crazy, everyone is sane -
Different only by degrees.
Anyone is pain, anyone is joy:
All things are in all things.

Our best is yet to come,
Everyone is growing young.

Fake Truth

Fake truth:
The gift for you.
Paint it gold; put it on your finger
and make you sold -
The yellow glare for the change
of some new clothes.
It’s just a natural lie for you,
for some big faker, fake-faking you;
Faking you, making news
with lines to control you.

Breaking everything we know is exhausting -
Fake truth is same old news,
Same old lies spun round for you:
Lies, lies, same old lies.
So boring, so give me truth;
Give me truth, give me truth;
Give me
The truth, the truth…
The Truth.

There’s a better view:
It’s called “truth”, baby, not aimed to confuse;
Not the same old news sunk under
mess and confusion, mistrust of the other -
Obscuring, misdirecting the mayhem in
Dystopian pandemonium.
(The great sweaty fakery
feeding the crazy-crazy fake-fake fakery.)

Breaking everything we know is exhausting -
Fake truth is same old news,
Same old lies spun round for you:
Lies, lies, same old lies.
So boring, so give me truth;
Give me truth, give me truth;
Give me
The truth, the truth…
The Truth.

The same old news is boring banal;
Right now, now, now is the real thing -
Not some fake sloganised lies,
unknown unknowns,
dull, impure (fake, fake, fake, fake, fake) fakery -
Fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake…

Fake truth is same old news -
Same old lies spun round for you;
Spun round for you, for you to die in the lie
caught faking you;
Fake, faking you:
Puny lies, same old lies, faking you.

What I'm Told

The gamble’s the same;
The outcome’s a game -
Ratios rigged high up to blame.
Forever growth;
Debt to debt;
Interest in interest to forget.
Ratios are always the same,
but now thousands are billions -
Yeah, it all adds up again…
In the slime,
In the time,
It takes to count away…
The swamp sucks me back in again.

I am so masturbating,
Pleasing me daily -
It’s all about me, baby:
Look at me, me, me, me, me…
Yeah, it’s what I’m told.

Look at my body;
Look at my face -
Look at what I’m doing
all over the place.
Look at me:
Fun little me;
Dirty little me;
Oh, poor little me!
I love me;
I hate me -
“Crazy little me”
on my bleeding knees,
In the struggle of my troubles,
Thoughts bought,
Locked in shiny little knots;
Written to order
for my disorders,
Pretending how to live.

I am so masturbating,
Pleasing me daily -
It’s all about me, baby:
Look at me, me, me, me, me…
Yeah, it’s what I’m told.

Another goal,
Win or lose, is never as supposed -
In the whirlpool of your mind,
A palace is a hut,
A hut a palace
depending on you.
I know the games;
I know the rules;
I know the script
you think controls you -
Completing what you’ve been told to do,
Speaking lines,
Being made the fool.
Straight in line!
The routine of a cold counting machine -
What you thought you were supposed to do
(Put there years ago),
Feeding on you…
Feed now on the life for you!

I am so masturbating,
Pleasing me daily -
It’s all about me, baby:
Look at me, me, me, me, me…
Yeah, it’s what I’m told.

It’s what I’m told -
Yeah, oh yeah, it’s what I’m told.
Let me please you daily -
It’s not all about me, baby.
Let me help you…
I’ll help you with that…
Let me please you, maybe.

Melt My Name

Now you’ve got me on the line;
Now you’ve got me in the midnight:
I hold on like I was in my stride,
I was on my ride,
And I lie thigh to thigh,
And I, I, I comply.
You know I saw you in a whole new light -
I feel I’m holding onto something after midnight;
Outside I lie, strumming back and forth
In a shimmering light.

Melt my name into the fire;
Colour me in desire -
Something deadly in your lips
Closes in with poison tips…

Secret echoes sound in the night;
Blue smoke rising at half past midnight;
Games of old on repeat
In the eye of your red pure heat.
Now I lie within your fire,
You feel me whole and you hold me light -
Closing up, in for the kill,
I’ve no chance, come take your fill.

Melt my name into the fire;
Colour me in desire -
Something deadly in your lips
Closes in with poison tips…

Melt my name…
Melt my name…
Melt my name in your lips:
Melt my name in your lips;
Melt my name.

Not Enough

Sometimes a little is a lot;
Sometimes cold is hot -
You turn me off and turn me on
And leave me here, now,
Wanting more…
I want you.
No more!
I bark, you bite,
It’s too much.

Not enough is too much;
Not enough is where we begin.

Old excuses of the past
Rise and fade too fast.
One night alone, with you,
Is the end starting anew -
Chasing you, out of breath,
the last time, until the next time…

Five thousand miles a day is:
Not enough,
Not enough -
Too much of not enough.

“You and me” will never be,
And will always be,
Not enough.

Come On

Too much for me to know -
My heart says yes, but my head says no.
Come on, come on,
you live inside a screen, not where you belong.
Come on, we can try to lose our wires -
Know me, hold me.
Come on, we’re too slow,
staring down at the little blue glow.

So you think you know you now, yeah?
Tied in pics and shiny chains, yeah?

Got to get faraway;
Got to get away;
From the script, we are taught:
We are bought, from year naught.

You can do it all, round the long haul,
just to crawl around in circles;
Or take the chance:
A first-class boarding pass.
Take the chance, take the big chance;
Come on, yeah;
Come on, yeah.

Got to get faraway;
Got to get away;
From the script, we are taught:
We are bought, from year naught.

Yeah, come on, come on -
It’s all in the air;
It’s all in the air;
It’s all in the air;
On and on and on and on…
Come on now;
Come on now;
Come on now;
Now, now, now, now.
Come on, come on yeah;
You’ve found me alright -
It’s time, hold me, you’ve got me alright.
Come on, yeah!

No More Lies

Grinding away another day,
But never enough of the same old stuff -
Nothing to share in the routine stare.
All this time, but time for nothing -
Fair play, you'll get your way:
A fashion victim, chained to the system,
High-rise hypnotised,
High-rise metabolised.

Time to change for something new -
Nothing more, I am through.
No more, “not quite here.”
No more, I am clear:
Not saving for another time -
This is now, take my bow.
Now, now, I am now.
No more lies and no more tries.

Same old, “same old”, wants to fool you -
More and more trying to control you.
Take the last laugh.
No more!
Close the door.

Something in me…
Something in me…
Something in me…
Something in me tells me...

Time to change for something new -
Nothing more, I am through.
No more, “not quite here.”
No more, I am clear.
Not saving for another time -
This is now, take my bow.
Now, now, I am now.
No more lies and no more tries.

Visiting Time Is Over

Do you know something that I don’t?
You want to live but you won’t.
Don’t judge who you think I am -
Only time with me can bring me back to life.
Cure me in the night-time -
Only you can help us find the feeling
one more time.
Nothing lasts too long
with the countdown going wrong.

Five minutes are up, move on -
Nothing to see here.
Five minutes are gone, move on, down the line;
Visiting time is over.
Time is over where you left me -
Sent by the bell, back to the cell.

Number’s up!
Borrowed time returned in silence to the ground;
Now I’m just another name,
Another face in another place
where there’s nothing between us
except borrowed time.
The alibi of silence:
“Another time”.

Five minutes are up, move on -
Nothing to see here.
Five minutes are gone, move on, down the line;
Visiting time is over.
Time is over where you left me -
Sent by the bell, back to the cell.

What do I know about me?
I’m always hiding;
I cannot be seen.

It wasn’t over then;
I will not falter now -
We can climb higher than time.
Five minutes are up…
Visiting time is over.

Don't Give Up

Don’t give up, make your luck -
Fortune favours those who dare,
So don’t give up.
Turn up the volume, love what you do,
And don’t give up.
You are who you are when you
Don’t give up.

You’re heavy in the darkest day,
Weighted down and lost your way -
Lighten up your dreams today,
And let it all out.
All great things just take their time -
It’s tough out here up on the climb;
Life’s too short for what you’re taught.

Don’t give up, make your luck -
Fortune favours those who dare,
So don’t give up.
Turn up the volume, love what you do,
And don’t give up.
You are who you are when you
Don’t give up.

Anything can happen, more than you imagine,
So live with passion,
Let fortune play with you.
The future movie of your mind
is new and undefined…
Life happens
when you let it bring…
ten thousand things.

Don’t give up, make your luck -
Fortune favours those who dare,
So don’t give up.
Turn up the volume, love what you do,
And don’t give up.
You are who you are when you
Don’t give up.

Good things are here for you -
Don’t give up on you;
Keep on going, see it through.
Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t give up on you;
Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t give up on you.

Just Out Of Reach

If you want me let me know,
there is more of me to show:
In shadows of reflections,
lost excuses of deceptions -
In sight I hide,
Just out of reach…

I can’t get away, the past repeats -
I can not see in the dark.
Through dusk I grind on shattered glass;
I try to hide in pride…
My mind is:
Just out of reach.

Mesmerised by the dark, tantalised by fantasies -
We don’t have time to wear these clothes:
The anxious story urgency,
carried memories we live today,
(dropped for another way).

Just out of reach…
I can’t get away, the past repeats -
I can not see in the dark.
Through dusk I grind on shattered glass;
I try to hide in pride…
My mind is:
Just out of reach.

Just out of reach…
I can’t get away, the past repeats:
Just out of reach…
Just out of reach…
Just out of reach…
Just out of reach…
Just out of reach…
Just out of reach…

Never Again

Look me in the eye
and tell me your lie -
Insanity needs feeding.
The mirror is cracked -
The neon lights are so misleading.

Make my crown;
Make my frown;
Make me cry;
Make me sigh;
In love;
In pain:
Nothing to gain but shame.

Chase your tail,
Reach and fail -
Never again,
Never again.
You bring the storm;
You bring thunder -
But never again.

The meaning of life is to live:
Love in the moment, with every breath;
Holding on for dear life,
to each other -
Words silenced with a kiss.

Chase your tail,
Reach and fail -
Never again,
Never again.
You bring the storm;
You bring thunder -
But never again.
Never again.
