Extreme Ways

Extreme ways are back again
Extreme places I didn’t know
I broke everything new again
Everything that I’d owned
I threw it out the windows, came along
Extreme ways I know move apart The colors of my sea
Perfect color me
Extreme ways that help me
That help me out late at night
Extreme places I had gone
But never seen any light
Dirty basements, dirty noise
Dirty places coming through
Extreme worlds alone
Did you ever like it then
I would stand in line for this
There’s always room in life for this
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Extreme songs that told me
They helped me down every night
I didn’t have much to say
I didn’t get above the light
I closed my eyes and closed myself
And closed my world and never opened
Up to anything
That could get me along
I had to close down everything
I had to close down my mind
Too many things to cover me
Too much can make me blind
I’ve seen so much in so many places
So many heartaches, so many faces
So many dirty things
You couldn’t even believe
I would stand in line for this
It’s always good in life for this
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
All day, all day
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
(Falling apart)
It’s a Monday morning, it’s everywhere
Oh no I can’t
All day, all day
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
All day, all day
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
All day, all day
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
All day, all day
Like it always does, always does

In The Flesh

So ya thought ya
Might like to go to the show?
To feel the warm thrill of confusion
That space cadet glow
Tell me, is something eluding you, sunshine?
Is this not what you expected to see?
If you wanna find out what’s behind these cold eyes
You’ll just have to claw your way through this disguise
Lights!
Turn on the sound effects
Action!
Drop it, drop it on ’em, drop it on them!

Us and Them

Us (us, us, us, us) and them (them, them, them, them)
And after all we’re only ordinary men
Me
And you (you, you, you)
God only knows
It’s not what we would choose (choose, choose) to do (to do, to do)
Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
And the general sat
And the lines on the map
Moved from side to side
Black (black, black, black)
And blue (blue, blue)
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up (up, up, up, up)
And down (down, down, down, down)
And in the end it’s only round ‘n round (round, round, round)
Haven’t you heard it’s a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
“Listen son”, said the man with the gun
There’s room for you inside
“I mean, they’re not gonna kill ya
So if you give ’em a quick short, sharp, shock
They won’t do it again. Dig it?
I mean he get off lightly, ’cause I would’ve given him a thrashing
I only hit him once! It was only a difference of opinion, but really
I mean good manners don’t cost nothing do they, eh?”
Down (down, down, down, down)
And out (out, out, out, out)
It can’t be helped that there’s a lot of it about
With (with, with, with), without
And who’ll deny it’s what the fighting’s all about?
Out of the way
It’s a busy day
I’ve got things on my mind
For the want of the price
Of tea and a slice
The old man died

Set Controls For The Heart Of The Sun

Little by little the night turns around
Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn
Lotuses lean on each other in yearning
Under the eaves the swallow is resting
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
Over the mountain watching the watcher
Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine
One inch of love is one inch of shadow
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
Witness the man who raves at the wall
Making the shape of his question to heaven
Whether the sun will fall in the evening
Will he remember the lesson of giving?
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun

Shook / Tear Us Apart

I wake up in a cold sweat
Shoot, I feel like trash magic
Knew it was a dangerous idea
I’m in trouble now

Can’t stand up
Walls spin around
Bloodshot eyes
Can’t see the ground
Flipped my world upside down
I’m in trouble now

Yeah I like you
And it’s got me shook
I like you
Yeah you got me hooked

Come to me
Come to me
Come to me
Baby won’t you ring me out

(I like you)

I can’t stop this dirty linen
Shakin’ my head from left to right
Just throw me in the wash baby
‘Cause it’s been a night

This drunk heart palpitates
Makes me shake to the beat
To underneath the sheets
And we ain’t gonna sleep

Shorten my breath
Feelin’ it in my chest like uhh
Hope it never leaves

Yeah I like you
And it’s got me shook
I like you
Yeah you got me hooked

Come to me
Come to me
Come to me
Baby won’t you ring me out

I like you
And it’s got me shook
I like you
Yeah you got me hooked

I like you
And it’s got me shook
I like you
Yeah you got me

I like you
And it’s got me shook
I like you
Yeah you got me hooked

Come to me
Come to me
Come to me
Baby won’t you ring me out

(I like you)
Shook
(I like you)
Hooked
I like you
Shook
(I like you)
You like it?

Don’t ask me
What you know is true
Don’t have to tell you
I love your precious heart
I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart
We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I’d make wine from your tears
I told you
That we could fly
‘Cause we all have wings
But some of us don’t know why
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never, ever tear us apart
I (Don’t ask me)
I was standing (You know it’s true)
Mm, you were there (Worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (We’re shining through)
And they could never tear us apart
You (Don’t ask me)
You were standing (You know it’s true)
I was there (Worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (We’re shining through)
And they could never tear us apart
I-I-I
I was standing
You were there

Moment of Peace

Come now, come by our side
Fireplace where you can hide
We are the sunshine
Rest your soul here and you’ll find
We are the energy
We give the world to thee
Hold up your heart now
We will ease pain from your brow
In a world without dangers
When destruction is near
You can come with us here
When the people are strangers
You will rest here with me
In a moment of peace
In a world without dangers
When destruction is near
You can come with us here
When the people are strangers
You will rest here with me
In a moment of peace
Light up the dark below
See through the stars
Reach to the earth’s flow
Drift into the joy of our hearts
Unleash the energy
Taste of the wine
Drink as a soul that
Knows now the power divine
In a world without dangers
When destruction is near
You can come with us here
When the people are strangers
You will rest here with me
In a moment of peace
In a world without dangers
When destruction is near
You can come with us here
When the people are strangers
You will rest here with me
In a moment of peace
In a moment of peace

Safety Dance

AUDIENCE APPRECIATION PARTIES:

We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
‘Cause your friends don’t dance
And if they don’t dance
Well, they’re no friends of mine
Say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come
From out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance
Or sing
We can go when we want to
Night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat
From our hats to our feet
And surprise ’em with the victory cry
Say, we can act if we want to
If we don’t, nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile
And say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything’s out of control
We can dance, we can dance
They’re doing it from pole to pole
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody’s taking the chance
Safety dance
Oh well, the safety dance
Ah yes, the safety dance
We can dance if we want to
We’ve got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it
Everything’ll work out right
I say, we can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
Because your friends don’t dance
And if they don’t dance
Well, they’re no friends of mine
I say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything’s out of control
We can dance, we can dance
We’re doing it from pole to pole
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody’s taking the chance
Oh well, the safety dance
Ah yes, the safety dance
Oh well, the safety dance
Oh well, the safety dance
Oh yes, the safety dance
Oh, the safety dance, yeah
Well, it’s the safety dance
It’s the safety dance
Well, it’s the safety dance

Oh, it’s the safety dance
Oh, it’s the safety dance
