Gatecrashers 05:13
Make no mistake Begs for defiant response Demand a breakdown And act surprised when you get one Although this will still endure Well, I never saw the allure Don't jump 'till you know for sure Gatecrashers You told me once We only get what we ask for Don't go unpronounced A stranger to the objectives Although this will still endure Well, I never saw the allure Don't jump 'till you know for sure Gatecrashers It seems like our spread Is four continents wide But in a certain light They saw we look quite alike Although this will still endure Well, I never saw the allure Don't jump 'till you know for sure Gatecrashers

Perpetual 94 01:33
You say you know what you know On the Egotist Variety Show So throw your hands on the floor And start the next World War It’s in your skin and your bones In those clairvoyant spectacular tones When it gets dark on the set Can’t tell the master from the marionette Long overdue, but again we withdrew Perpetual ’94 like we’re used to So let’s not dwell at this shallow well No, let’s not Another mystic campaign Over redundantly familiar terrain It’s much harder to ignore The rock you’re under than the rock that you’re on Long overdue, but again we withdrew Perpetual ’94 like we’re used to So let’s not dwell at this shallow well No, let’s not

Cher Ami 04:20
Cher Ami I couldn’t protect you From those who fancied you Some kind of archangel Been to the finest schools But it’s of limited use Beside the Argonne hill Behind enemy lines If this is a man’s war, If this is a man’s war, If this is a man’s war, Then who’s the animal now? We’re along 276 Our own artillery is Raining directly on us, For heaven’s sake stop it You were our last chance Note in a canister attached They shot down my Cher Ami Just like all the rest If this is a man’s war, If this is a man’s war, If this is a man’s war, Then who’s the animal now? Who’s the animal now? Who’s the animal now? Who’s the animal now? By some act of God Somehow you still made it home No surgeon could overcome All the damage was done Cher Ami I don’t know how But you’re weightless now

Summer 03:09
It's summer and Inspiration falls from the trees like leaves All you gotta do is pick 'em up, yeah All you gotta do is pick 'em up, yeah It's summer and Desperation clings to the rocks like mold All you gotta do is scrape it off, yeah All you gotta do is scrape it off, yeah Go on, let me have it Say I'm doing it all wrong I try to remember But it's just been so long Malicious whine All I need is your hair in my eyes Make it more than a passing notion Make it more than a passing notion Go on, let me have it Say I'm doing it all wrong I try to remember But it's just been so long All on your dime I could fix it tomorrow if I tried But who could cope with the obligation? Who could cope with the obligation? Go on, let me have it Say I'm doing it all wrong I try to remember But it's just been so long Go on, let me have it Say I'm doing it all wrong I try to remember But it's just been so long

Liable, Low 04:08
Empty accord Blown out the door Laying in snow Anywhere you go A day of sympathy Don’t make up for the Other 364 Cast to the floor You’re liable, liable, liable, liable, low You’re liable, liable, liable, liable, low Cloud of the scene Less than serene Stop wasting time Your right don’t trump mine You’re liable, liable, liable, liable, low You’re liable, liable, liable, liable, low You’re liable, liable, liable, liable, low You’re liable, liable, liable, liable, low

I was out in the sticks Picking up bricks you threw Drowning in all my sin Getting under my skin again Won't last for long Just stride in the lulls Walkin' on skulls of friends Take a look on the shelf Just help yourself And oh, your roamin' empire Won't last for long Oh, your roamin' empire Won't last for long Cross over the coals Doing just what they told you to To absolve your doubts How's that working out? And oh, your roamin' empire Won't last for long Oh, your roamin' empire Won't last for long And oh, your roamin' empire Won't last for long Oh, your roamin' empire Won't last for long And oh, your roamin' empire Won't last for long Oh, your roamin' empire Won't last for long
