It's all up to you now find yourself in the moment
Go directly to the voodoo now the channel is open

Lose your head lose control
You come on delicate and fine like a diamond in the mind
Woah, yeah, when you move into the light you're the greatest thing alive
Woah, and you

Sway in the moon the way you did when you were younger
And we told everybody all you need is now
Stay with the music let it play a little longer
You don't need anybody all you need is now

Everybody's gunning for the VIP section
But you're better up and running in another direction

With your bones in the thrall
Throw a shadow on the vine, bat your lashes let it shine
Woah, yeah, every moment that arrives you're the greatest thing alive
Woah, and you

Sway in the moon the way you did when you were younger
And we told everybody all you need is now
Stay with the music let it play a little longer
You don't need anybody all you need is now

All you need, all you need is now
All you need, all you need is now
All you need, all you need is now

... and we will
Sway in the moon the way you did when you were younger
And we told everybody all you need is now
Stay with the music let it play a little longer
You don't need anybody all you need is now

All you need, all you need is now
All you need, all you need is now
All you need, all you need is now
All you need, all you need is now

A stormy summer
Is rolling closer
Lighting up this holy smoker
And if this drinking
Could ease the thinking
I toast to my home truth with this glass

All rise you promises broken
Call my lovers by their names
Lost hearts and words that are spoken to the wind
Which blows before the rain

Little pin-pricks
And how my ears bleed
On the bomb ticks that is my heartbeat
In every life-flash
In every car crash
I hear the silence waiting to fall

All rise you promises broken
Call my lovers by their names
Lost hearts and words that are spoken to the wind
Which blows before the rain

For all I carry
Are murdered secrets
The price of my blue star-eyed weakness
And so we travel
And we unravel
Towards the place where all loose ends go

All rise you promises broken
Call my lovers by their names
Lost hearts and words that are spoken to the wind
Which blows before the rain

To the voyeur, seated in a darkened room.
Do you thrill when the green light starts pulsing?
Paranoia, the only valid point of view.
If you know what I’m saying.

I’m not alone, being followed
Someone always watching what we do
Never alone, but I’m in the shadows
I dream things I don’t want you to know

Something shifting between the sirens and the glow
Of red lights and the blue slowly turning
The fog is lifting
A silhouette begins the show
Then the moment is stolen

I’m not alone, being followed
Someone always watching what we do
Never alone, I’m in the shadows
I dream things I don’t want you to know

In this chamber lit by scandal
You’re the bullet in the barrel
You’re the last thing as I’m falling
Bloody roaring still I’m calling out
I’m calling out

I’m not alone, being followed
Never alone, I’m being followed
I’m not alone, being followed
Never alone, I’m being followed

I'm driving up the autobahn
Losing my way as the night gets long
The headlights shining in my face
Scream out the danger of this place

And now there's no way home this love affair is ended
I should have known when I bought into the dream
So like your solid soul to leave me lost and stranded
I blame myself and I blame the machines

I'm flying blind I'm speeding through
I hate to think I've been fooled by you
An interactive nightmare show
Which never ends, it just goes on and on and on and on

And now there's no way home this love affair is ended
I should have known when I bought into the dream
So like your solid soul to leave me lost and stranded
I blame myself and I blame the machines

And now turn left
I have control
You are not required
To think at all
Everything we hear (goes on and on)
Everything we see,
Everything we love (goes on and on)
Everything we feel,
Everything we want, (goes on and on)
Everything we do, (and on)
Everywhere we go, (and on)
Everything we know (and on)

And now there's no way home this love affair is ended
I should have known when I bought into the dream
So like your solid soul to leave me lost and stranded
I blame myself and I blame the machines

Oo-oh oo-oh - I blame the machines
Oo-oh oo-oh - blame the machines
(repeat...)

I came by invitation to General Chelsey Mayhem
and going on to somewhere
Yes I was going somewhere

A Single Radom meeting with your eyes
and now I am beaten.
And now I'm going nowhere, I know I'm going nowhere

With the voices in my head
The clever words I never said
Of all the things to happen

In a girl Panic
This traffic make it through my mind
It's a crush panic she's got me atomized

You beg me to get closer
Dress falling off your shoulder
The heat is wrapping 'round us
This city's strapped around us

Cause now I sense your mission
is my coming demolition
And you just hold me under
I know I'm going under

With the voices in my head
The clever words I never said
And you just let it happen

In a girl Panic
This traffic make it through my mind
It's a crush panic, she's got me atomized
In a girl Panic, the Midnight traffic in her eyes
Like a hypnotic, and I am mesmerized.

You know you know I want you
I know you know I want you
With the voices in my head
The clever words I never said
And you just let it happen

In a girl Panic
This traffic make it through my mind
It's a crush panic, she's got me atomized
In a girl Panic
The Midnight traffic in her eyes
Like a hypnotic, and I am mesmerized.
In a girl Panic
It's a crush panic
She's a hypnotic,
It's a Girl Panic

So come the evening
I’m out on the dunes
Looking for a token
Something to prove
All I remember
Is more than a flame
In my fantasy fire

Whatever I’ve done to receive
Whatever I need to redeem
Whatever you say
Even if I wait a lifetime

I know, I swear, if you leave a light on, if you leave a light on for me
I’ll come there
You can leave a light on for me
In comes the morning

I’m stood in my track
Looking at the reasons
For me to head back
So unexpected
The kindness you’ve shown
That I will not forget it

Whatever I’ve done to receive
Whatever I need to redeem
Whatever you say
Even if I wait a lifetime

I know, I swear, if you leave a light on, if you leave a light on for me
I’ll come there
You can leave a light on for me

You breathe the will into the weak
And coax the cage bird to fly free
You ease the lost cause out of me
With your sweet hand to bring me home
I’m not alone

I know, I swear, if you leave a light on, if you leave a light on for me,
I’ll come there
You can leave a light on for me

I know, I swear, if you leave a light on, if you leave a light on for me,
I’ll come there
You can leave a light on for me

Across the sky
A jet trail following
The wish that I was on the plane
On my way to some out destination
Undiscovered never mentioned
Sipping on the high of expectation
I awaken to the shade

Maybe it’s the rain of town
One you wanted to leave behind
When the winter’s on the ground
If you ever wonder

We believe in the cold gray lights we dream
There’s a place for us
Mediterranea
Yes we believe where the white sands touch the sea
There’s space for us
Mediterranea

I’m trading in for touch down ecstasy
Arriving there in a wave of heat
Lying in the beach tequila mayhem
Summer of all suburbian daydreams
Waiting for a look the invitation
I awaken to the shade

Maybe it’s the rain of town
One you wanted to leave behind
When the winter’s on the ground
If you ever wonder

We believe in the cold gray lights we dream
There’s a place for us
Mediterranea
Yes we believe where the white sands touch the sea
There’s space for us
Mediterranea

I imagine
Summer fashion, see yourself in another town
Let the sunshine out of your mind
A bed of light to lay you down

We believe in the cold gray lights we dream
There’s a place for us
Mediterranea
Yes we believe where the white sands touch the sea
There’s space for us
Mediterranea

And we believe
Yes we believe
There’s a place for us
Mediterranea

Selling exes down the river
Every Katie's got her price
And the details make you shiver
But it's hard to escape when your head is stuck in vice
Because nothing matters in the self obsessive age
Where they dare you not to notice
But it's everywhere in shocking colour on the page

In the magazine
Staring out at me
Out of my TV
Other people's lives
Pixelated lives
Just like yours and mine

Every weekend i bear witness
To the social suicides
To the thief who stays for breakfast
To the poster child screwing everybody's wife

Yeah it's just a story
But it keeps me hanging on
For the needy soul,
The glory hole confessional
I got to see what's going down

In the magazine
Staring out at me

Out of my TV
Other people's lives
Pixelated lives
Just like yours and mine

Read the headlines...
Hear the sirens
I'm re-united... out of rehab... again

It's everywhere
It's shocking colour in on the page
In the magazine
Staring out at me
Out of my TV
Other people's lives
Pixelated lives
Just like yours and mine

In the magazine
Staring out at me
Out of my TV
Other people's lives
Pixelated lives
Just like yours and mine

At the door blowing a kiss she’s
Careful not to wake her sister
Knowing that she will be missed
It feels a little bad girl

On the corner engine running
Taxi driver sees her coming
Chilly in the morning sun
She seems a little sad

Say goodbye, she’s not afraid of leaving
No-one by her side, nothing to hang on
Wave goodbye, to everything familiar
There’s a world to find, runway runaway just run away

Looking back she sees the pattern
Hidden princess in the attic
Realise this picture that
Is more than she will hope for

Happy when her heart is jumping
Desperately seeking something
Trying to be strong enough
To choose another road

Say goodbye, she’s not afraid of leaving
No-one by her side, nothing to hang on
Wave goodbye, to everything familiar
There’s a world to find, runway runaway just run away
Runway runaway just run away
Runway runaway… run away
Runway runaway just run away

At the door blowing a kiss she’s
Careful not to wake her sister

It feels a little bad girl

Do you know where we are?
I’m longing for the dark
Of our nocturnal life
It begins and ends with you
Don’t spill my secret

You were once running wild hiding in the morning mist
Game demands I make you mine
I thought that I could resist but the leopard in you
Silently preyed on me

I made my way back home
(Did you follow her?)
I handled her with care
(Were you in control?)
So elegant and sleek
(Were you not afraid?)
I need her to be near
(Does she belong to you?)
Don’t spill my secret

You were once running wild hiding in the morning mist
Game demands I make you mine
Thought that I could resist but the leopard in you
Silently preyed on me

Deserted by my friends
(Don’t they understand?)
She’s so much more than them
(How could they compare?)
So now she’s just for me
(No one else can see)
I watch her while she sleeps
(Be sure she dreams of you)
Don’t spill my secret

(It’s been quite a while)
Since we were last outside
(And do you miss the chase?)
Now that we’ve both been tamed
(Inside this gilded cage)
Prisoners of our thoughts
(You saved me from myself)
Don’t spill my secret
