Track Name: Holy War
Holy War

Don't you ever call me pal: It's all that I'm not.
Don't you ever try this on: It's all that I've got.
You can call me a pig, call me superviolent freak.
Call me a liar, call me evil, call me poison.

But dude it's a holy war, everyone joins in : we're all superstars.
(dude)

So don't you ever try this on: It's all that I've got.
Don't you ever call me pal: It's all that I'm not.

You can call me a liar, call me superviolent freak.
Call me a pig, call me evil, call me poison.

But dude it's a holy war, everyone joins in : we're all superstars.
(dude)

Don't you ever call me pal: It's all that I'm not.
Don't you ever try this on: It's all that I've got.
You can call me a pig, call me superviolent freak.
Call me a liar, call me evil, call me poison.

Oh then dude it's a holy war, everyone joins in..
But dude it's a holy war, everyone joins in : we're all superstars.
Climbing faster, climbing lower.
But dude, it's a holy war.
Track Name: King Of This Town
KING OF THIS TOWN

Are you going to leave this town
Leave it all, oh after all now
I'll keep waiting
I'll keep waiting
So you're going to leave it all, leave it all oh after all now
I'll keep waiting
I'll keep waiting

Did you believe that i'd let you go
without a sound that would let you know
that we'll only be there for a while

So don't you forget who I am
Cause I'm the king of this town
Yeah I'm the king of this town

It's going to be violent
So don't tell your heart
It's going to be violent
So don't tell your heart
Cause now you forgot bout your systems and clocks
you got your systems and clocks open
turn off the lights
Now you forgot bout your systems and clocks and you're right

Don't you let it to the dark side
Just pretend we don't pretend for a while
Don't you let it to the dark side
Just pretend we don't pretend for a while

It's going to be violent
So don't tell your heart
It's going to be violent
So don't tell your heart
Cause now you forgot bout your systems and clocks
you got your systems and clocks open
turn off the lights
Now you forgot bout your systems and clocks and you're right

Don't you let it to the dark side
Just pretend we don't pretend for a while
Don't you let it to the dark side
Just pretend we don't pretend for a while

Don't you let it to the dark side
Just pretend we don't pretend for a while
Don't you let it to the dark side
Just pretend we don't pretend for a while

Now you forgot who I was
But I'm still the king of this town
Track Name: I'm Going To Make It Today
I'm Going To Make It Today

I could feel old, but I'd be losing control : I'm going to make it today.
I could have sworn that I was just born today, privately speaking of us.
You doubt but you say, you doubt but you say "I'm going to make it today"
I could feel old but I'd be losing control, I was the elderly there.
I danced in a wheelchair and thought of my life there.
(Privately he's fearing despair)
So doubt. But you say you doubt but you say "I'm going to make it today".
Babe, I'm boiling : babe I'm just a body, oh yeah, babe I'm just a body.
And in this heavenly hour, I'll be staying over you.
Yeah in this heavenly hour, I'll be staying over you.
We're only but roaches in this part of the purchase... we're going to have it our way.
You're going to make it to the top and I mean it : you're going to have it your way.
You doubt but you say you doubt but you say "I'm going to make it today".
You doubt but you say you doubt but you say "I'm going to make it today".
But babe, I'm boiling : babe I'm just a body, oh yeah, babe I'm just a body.
Oh now babe, I'm boiling : babe I'm just a body, oh yeah, babe I'm just a body.
And in this heavenly hour, I'll be staying over you.
Yeah in this heavenly hour, I'll be staying over you.
Track Name: The Terrible Things
The Terrible Things

Cause all this time we were 75
by the time we turned 76 we wondered
where the forest had gone, why the trees were alone
and the terrible things
why the terrible things
oh why?

Why everyone's a little late now
everyone forgot about today


Cause all this time we were 75
by the time we turned 76 we wondered
where the forest had gone, why the trees were alone
and the terrible things
why the terrible things
oh why?

We're so old
so old

But is it just me or old dynamite, now won't you see we're all in a fire?

But so old
so old

But is it just me or old dynamite, now won't you see we're all in a fire?

Cause all this time we were 75
by the time we turned 76 we wondered
where the forest had gone, why the trees were alone
and the terrible things
why the terrible things
oh why?
Track Name: The Letter
The Letter

In your eyes I found a letter, I found a letter
You'd drawn yourself with ink of sulphur, with ink of sulphur
In your eyes I found a letter, I found a letter
You wrote lies about a monster, a killing fire
In your eyes I found a letter, I found a letter

And I read the line where you settled down inside for that other you

In my eyes, you'll fin a letter, you'll find a letter. I drew you tall, with ink and feathers. With ink and feathers.
In my eyes, you'll fin a letter, you'll find a letter. I drew you tall, with ink and feathers. With ink and feathers.
Cause you're the life on the vinyl, you're a diamond.

Diamond
In silence's golden ring, you're all that surrounds
But you're a diamond still, the wrestle move that kills

And in my eyes, you'll fin a letter, you'll find a letter. I drew you tall, with ink and feathers. With ink and feathers.
In my eyes, you'll fin a letter, you'll find a letter. I drew you tall, with ink and feathers. With ink and feathers.
In my eyes, you'll fin a letter, you'll find a letter.
Track Name: Stereo Skin
Stereo Skin

All the streets are empty.
The sun is your milk.
All these shelves are empty : I'll cover you in silk.
So, sweetly, would you show some skin my dear ?

Now close your ears, I'll alway sing you this song on stereo
Now close your ears, I'll always sing you this song on stereo, stereo, stereo skin.
Track Name: The After
The After

Don't you talk to them boys, they're gonna throw their toys, being around.
So don't you walk with them, girl, they're gonna throw their pearl. Being around for a long time.

Don't you see that they'd break your mind for another try.
Don't you know that they'd break you soul for another lie.

But when you do, just when you sleep, you've got to dream of this for real, giving me power : you are the after.
