1. medazzaland

(Oh, Medazzaland)
I have a problem, they said they can solve
Soon I won't speak
I have no words left in me
I dream in pictures
But the sound is muted
I have no way to understand what they say
(Into Medazzaland)
People are starting to talk
But I don't hear them anymore
Now I can't see
But I am still able to think
Do I have any feeling left?
What are they saying about me?
Do they really understand what's wrong?
I feel their hands on my skin
The time has come for them to begin
I'm sinking deeper and deeper
Into Medazzaland
I can feel the scalpel on my skin
It's cutting in
Deeper and deeper
I'm in Medazzaland
(Oh Medazzaland)

2. big bang generation

Falling into space
At the end of time
Black as the black in your eye
Staring through a hole in the ozone
There's nobody home
To play back your ansaphone
Climax out of blue
Is it just another high?
No there must be something new
Now that I'm so alien

Entering the atmosphere
Don't know what is waiting here (oh no)
If there's nothing left to fear
When they come together in
the Big Bang Generation

Teardrop in the sky
Bursting my eye
Sound of morning sighs
This life is stranger than fiction
Surreal addiction
It's all I recognize
Feeding off the habit
Losing control
Where is it leading to?
Now that I'm the alien

Entering the atmosphere
Don't know what is waiting here
If there's nothing left to fear
When we come together in
the Big Bang Generation

(Feel like I'm losing control)
Big Bang Generation
(Now that I'm here alone)
Big Bang Generation
(Feel like I'm losing control)
Big Bang Generation
(Feel like I'm losing it)
We're gonna come together here

Where you coming from?
When we gonna burn out? Don't know
Having so much fun
Greetings from the Big Bang Generation
Big Bang Generation

Meet you in the Big Bang Generation
Together in the Big Bang Generation
Together we're the Big Bang Generation

3. electric barbarella

I knew when I first saw you on the showroom floor
You were made for me
I took you home and dressed you up in polyester
Princess of my dreams
Emotionless and cold as ice
All of the things I like
The way you look
The way you move
The sound you're makin'
In ultra-chrome, latex and steel

I plug you in
Dim the lights
Electric Barbarella
Your perfect skin
Plastic kiss
Electric Barbarella
Try to resist
Then we touch
Hallucinate and tranquilize

(she's so fine)
(she's all mine)

Our private life is subject to investigation
No time to waste
People say they heard about our deviation
But you never looked so good
Wear the fake fur and fake pearls for me
And put on your mystery
The way I feel you know
I'll never keep you waiting
In ultra-chrome, latex and steel

I plug you in
Dim the lights
Electric Barbarella
Your perfect skin
Plastic kiss
Electric Barbarella
Try to resist
Then we touch
Hallucinate and tranquilize

Princess of my dreams
Princess of my dreams
Major domo plasticomo Barbarella
(She's so fine)
Pro-genetic you Electric Barbarella
(She's all mine)
My pretty pretty pretty pretty Barbarella

4. out of my mind

Light a candle
Lay flowers at the door
For those who were left behind
And the ones who've gone before
But here it comes now
Sure as silence follows rain
The taste of you upon my lips
The fingers in my brain
Ever gentle as it kills me where I lay
Who am I to resist?
Who are you to fail?

Got to get you out of my mind
But I can't escape from the feeling
As I try to leave the memory behind
Without you what's left to believe in?

And I could be so sorry
For the way it had to go
But now I feel your presence
In a way I could not know
And I wonder
Do you ever feel the same
In whispering darkness
Do you ever hear my name?

Got to get you out of my mind
But I can't escape from the feeling
As I try to leave the memory behind
Without you, what's left to believe in?

How could you dare
To become so real
When you're just a ghost in me

And I've got to get you out of my mind
But I can't escape from the feeling
As I try to leave the memory behind
Without you, what's left to believe in?

Here in the back of my mind

Deep in the back of my mind

5. who do you think you are

I'm giving you the news
Your domination's through
You gave the best you've got
Now I'm out on top

If you're in any doubt
Listen to me
I've got a right to say
If you know what it's all about
Who do you think you are?

Don't want to be your enemy
If I'm not the one you want me to be
And I've got to do things the way that I do

Always trying to control me
Who do you think you are?

Our time on earth is running through
(This is not a question of my pride)
Sometimes I think it's a game to you
(Ever wonder how I feel inside?)
And sometimes I play along
But man I've got a mind!

You've got to live with yourself
For the rest of you life
Do you understand?
Everybody asks themselves the question
Who do you think you are?

Why do you feel ashamed
When you can't explain the things I say
To other people

It's just occurred to me
A possibility
The thought that you might really want to be me?

6. silva halo

You shine
Where others fade
You dare
To be so brave

Don't compromise
No one can touch you
Just believe
Just believe

Come to heaven, silva halo
Come to heaven, silva halo
Silva halo
Silva halo
***********************************************************
7. be my icon

I follow you, I wait for you
You know there's no escape from me
You're more than wallpaper in my room

I write you letters and bring you gifts
I'm going through all your trash
I love you so much,
I keep your cigarette butts

Now is the time to come out
Come out of the shadows

No need to be scared
You're gonna be so happy
I built you a shrine
Now you can Be My Icon

I'm out on the edge
There's no way back inside
All my friends are gone
They didn't understand me

It makes so much sense
It's no coincidence
Just you and I alone here
And I need you
Oh

How many hours have I stared at my face in the mirror
I get worried sometimes that the image will shatter

No need to be scared
You're gonna be so happy
I built you a shrine
Now you can be my icon
No need to be
Scared
Now you can
Be My Icon

I know this is real
Believe it
We belong together
What ever happens
You're gonna be with me
Forever

Be my icon
You will be my icon
Be my icon
you will be my icon

8. buried in the sand

Can't say that I was surprised
When you broke the ties
They were hanging by a thread
But now I have realized
It couldn't be the same
Cause everything has changed
And still I held out my hand
Tried to pull you back
But you were buried in the sand

I'm glad that you came along
But here our journey ends
I say goodbye to you
My very dear friend

You were buried in the sand.
Head buried in the sand.
You were buried in the sand.
Head buried in the sand.
You are buried in the sand.

9. michael you've got a lot to answer for

I came over your place today
In a roundabout sort of way
Nothing holding me
Just the company
Gentle giving the afternoon

Don't ever try to be any more
Michael, you've got a lot to answer for
You unlocked some of the doors
To my soul

And I don't see you for awhile
Thinkin of you will make me smile
You never bother me with responsibility
Misbehaving in candlelight

Don't ever try to give any more
Michael, you've got a lot to answer for
You got me wakin up wise to the world

Trust you to get caught up in somebody's war
You'll come out of it all in time, I'm sure
Just remember what friends were put here for
Michael, you've got a lot to answer for

And I know that you're gonna call
If you need me
When you need me
If you need me
***********************************************************
10. midnight sun

As I watch you flickering slowly
In the shadows, nothing to hold
It's as if I don't recall our time before
And would it be so wrong
Not to remember?

There are times I look at you differently
Like I'd never seen you before
Funny after all we've done
You could be someone I don't know at all
(Don't know you at all)

Catch me I don't want to fall

But you pull the mountain from under me
Look, I'm dangling up in the blue
And it's a cartoon coyote eternity
Before I drop down to you
What am I supposed to do now?

There is something beautiful shining
In the far off night of your hair
Funny for a while it seemed to come from the sky
But it's in your head
Yes it fills your head

You and I don't always fly
Let me go I want to fall
Deep into the dark
But I'll get back to you
And I'll always know how to find you
Cause you shine like the midnight sun

Yes I'll always be here beside you
When I follow the midnight sun

Follow follow follow the midnight sun.

11. so long suicide

Do you know how to feel?
Do you know what it means?

Rock-a-bye baby it's time to break
The habit that you fed
Sweet sorrow while the cherished dead
Blow in my mouth, every breath I take
Although I need you I don't want to bleed for you

So long suicide
Going right out of sight, out of mind
Leave me alone and abandoned
Hello, I'm alive
I'm loaded alive, yes I know
In my bones I know what is going to do it for me

I steal the beauty and I taste the hurt
There's always time for pretty flowers
growing in the dirt
But time is your needle aimed to my heart
And I must be hollow because I can't follow there

So long suicide
Gone right out of sight, out of mind
Leaving me alone and abandoned
Hello, I'm alive
I'm loaded alive and I know
In my bones I know what I'm good for
Hello I'm alive
I'm loaded alive yes I know
In my bones I know what I'm doing

And I'm scared of being ordinary
God I swear to live like anyone
And you know it's hard to swallow
But life goes on

And after all this crash and swell
We are just human
And after all is said and done
We're only human
You're out of sight and out of mind
I'm saying so long suicide

The half dreamed shade of yesterday
In bloom tomorrow

12. undergoing treatment

We are undergoing treatment
Watching others in the news
Studying our worst reviews
They say we'll get over it
Disappear like dinosaurs
To the sound of small applause
Resign to the mid-price section

If you see me walking in the garden
Don't ever ask me for an autograph
If you ever catch me in the arcade
Don't even stop me for a photograph

We are undergoing treatment
'Til our ethic fits the scene
Laid out in Q Magazine
They crave our conformity
Mediocre to the bone
Terrified testosterone
But why do we still face the music?

If you see me walking in the garden
Don't ever ask me...

Now and then you get the strangest notion
That there's something missing
But it keeps you guessing
Wild ambition can you really blame us?
Can you entertain us?
Can you give a little more?

If you see me walking in the garden
Don't ever ask me for an autograph
If you ever catch me in the arcade
Don't even stop me for a photograph

We are undergoing treatment
But will the doctors ever cure
These delusions of grandeur?
