No no no
No no no
No they don't mind now.
Not messin' around,
just kissin' around.
Just kiddin' around,
No no no never-mind.
And they'll try to tell you
what it's all about,
well I'm just sitting here singing a song.
There'll come a day when the world closes out,
Faults forming at 28 degrees,
Factories of killing and disease.

Crash the elevator
Cut the cords
You won't need it anymore
Light up the streets
Open your eyes
Light up the streets

Simplicity is another thing to you and me
I remember when you looked away
Growing in the seeds of future days
Sometimes what's wrong is right
if it gives ya a reason not to fight
I'm bored, I'm down
It's time to live this town
Skipping along like a stone
Burning the track's metal bones

I'm worried since you left me,
my ships been sinking far too long
You held me above the water
and dropped me into an abyss
I'm worried since you left me
this time I really want you gone

I think it's the end, hopefully we'll meet again
somewhere far away
somewhere I could stay
I can't express the feeling I have for you
I tried to light it up but my shadow wouldn't stay away

It was a joke from the start
this is where things fall apart
I was never laughing anyway
I knew it was only a phase
It was a joke
just laugh and smoke
You'll forget it anyway
Back-alley blues
bringing up all sorts of clues,
who are we gonna find today?
Are we gonna die today?
Back-alley blues
breaking all the rules
busting down doors
breaking down scenes
this is what it means
to have then Back-alley blues
Set yourself on fire
Your better off a liar
We will conspire to take down the empire
and destroy you
You're better off a liar
We will conspire
to take down the empire
and destroy you

Multi-colored lights electrifying night
The snow falls between you and me
but it's not all we see
The trees hold secrets only the wise see
Open your mind and let it be

To let truth smolder in the ashes
of the deceased
which names hide from repeat
