@SONG: AIRLANE

Instrumental

============================================================================

@SONG: METAL

we're in the building where they make us grow
and i'm frightened by the liquid engineers
like you

my Mallory heart is sure to fail
i could crawl around the floor just like i'm real
like you

the sound of metal i want to be you
i could learn to be a man
like you

plug me in and turn me on
oh everything is moving

i need my treatment it's tomorrow they send me
singing "i am an American"
do you?

picture this if they could make the change
i'd love to pull the wires from the wall
did you?

and who are you and how can i try
her inside i like metal
aren't you

all i know is no one dies
i'm still confusing love with need


============================================================================

@SONG: COMPLEX

they won't come back
you know it's always the same
and they're sure to forget
saying "everyone lies"

so i'm down to this
i'm down to walking on air
and you're here by my side
with all your waving and smiles

please keep them away
don't let them touch me
Please don't let them lie
don't let them see me


============================================================================

@SONG: FILMS

i don't like the film
i don't like the film
play it all back
play it all back

and i don't like the scenery
and i don't like the set so
pull it all down
pull it all down

but i like the actors
and i like the show

we're so exposed
we're so exposed
anything can happen
anything can happen

don't let them see
don't let them know
and you wonder why
and you wonder why

turn off the lights
and turn off the sound


============================================================================

M.E.

and M.E. i eat dust
we're all so run down
i'd call it my death
but i'll only fade away
and i hate to fade alone now there's only M.E.

we were so sure
we were so wrong
but there's no one left to see
and there's no one left to die there's only M.E.

why shoud i care
why should i try
oh no, oh no
i turned off the pain
like i turned off you all now there's only M.E.


============================================================================

@SONG: TRACKS

where are the tracks?
where are the lines?
where are the tracks, dear
where is the time?

you were so cold
you were so slow
you were so old
and we were unsure

and i want your lines
and i want your time
and i want your face, dear
and you can have mine


============================================================================

@SONG: OBSERVER

i could stand here for days
or i could stand here for hours
i could stand here for a lifetime
watching you and waiting always
i could observe you all

i could wait for a day
or i could wait for an hour
i could wait here for a lifetime
watching you and thinking always
i could observe you all


============================================================================

@SONG: CONVERSATION

oh it's so easy
when parts take over
my conversation
is nothing more than lies

you're just the viewer
so cold and distant
i've no intentions
of saying "i love you"

my conversation

we are not gods
we are not men
we are not making claims
we are only boys

you are not strong
you are not force
you are not regular
you are just wrong

there are no faces
this is my complex
you are my picture
i call you `mirrors'

these are not my tears
not my reflection
am i a photo?
i can't remember

my conversation


============================================================================

@SONG: CARS

here in my car
i feel safest of all
i can lock all my doors
it's the only way to live
in cars
here in my car
i can only receive
i can listen to you
it keeps me stable for days
in cars
here in my car
the image breaks down
will you visit me please
if i open my door
in cars
here in my car
i know i've started to think
about leaving tonight
although nothing seems right
in cars

============================================================================

@SONG: ENGINEERS

all that we are
is all that we need to be
all that we know
is you and machinery
we're engineers

we are your heartbeat
we are your night life
we are your `low-line'
we keep you alive for now
we're engineers

we are your voice
we are your blood flow
we are your eyes
we all you need to know
we're engineers

all that we are
is all that you'd love to be
all that we know
is hate and machinery
we're engineers
