1. HYPERSPACE

Hands up who thinks it's now
Home base is the bathroom where the lights are bright
It's never too late if you know how
We got our own brand of hyperspace
You cannot change anyone
There is no peace, there's only sun
When you want to go, I know you will
And I can see it all and I'm ok, but I wish there was another way
There's no right and there's no wrong
There's just the balance of the things you know


2. AMATEUR

(Instrumental)


3. 80 WINDOWS

Clusters of people talking secretly to each other
In a bar you cannot talk openly to anyone you don't already know
4 year olds, they have got the right idea: they jump the line and hit it on the nose
When we sit and we get quiet, then we look and see who's home
Across the way there are 80 windows we can see
It's christmastime and they all have the same tree
You tell me the patterns you already see
I wonder if they see us in our bed
You said you like the one with the father who always eats with his son
I like the rows of lights because they keep me calm
I feel far away from you. So what else is new?
The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone


4. MOTHER'S DAY

I wanna know
Do you have the balls to ask?
What do you see when you look at a girl?
Is she a game you wanna win?
If no one wa looking
What would you do to get in?
Do you have friends who would be proud
If you went in for the kill?
Do you have friends who would do it
Even against her will?

What if they did that to your sister?
What if they did that to your mother?
Why are we so slow?

I bet you think you're such a hottie
But a body afraid is not a sexual body
Everybody's been laughed at
And everybody's been left out but,
That's no excuse to turn it around
No boy has the right to hold a girl down

On your star wars sheets
When you get the scene
Was she seducing you
Or did she want to scream?

It's you versus you versus you
I can't forget that tomorrow's Mother's Day,
I'm talking to you
You know who you are
Going too far
You'll feel good for ten minutes
She'll be screwed up for life
Blue balls and all of that bullshit


5. TROUBLEMAKER

Why do I feel bad again?
I shouldn't be sad or miss a grin
Doubt creeps in and doubt creeps out
Skews the view from my cloud
Troublemaker tempting fate
Questioning the path I take
Showing me the twists and turns
The forks and points of no return
I would hold my breath so long
To wash ashore where I belong
Broken roses on the steps
Like promises I never kept
Promises I never made
But could have honored anyway
Tied to years, slave to fears
I will always hold you dear
Tired, troubled but sincere
Wishing... fuck the rime
Wishing I had a time
To wish you mine
Every day I choose to spend the rest of my life with her
And every day I break the molds of lives and worlds
I already miss the things that I will never know
I will never know the things that I've already missed


6. BACARDI

When you walk home from the party
Drunk on bacardi and listening
To the voices that lie to you nightly
Make you frightened of everyone
Make you sorry for something
You go home and spend your life alone with the stereo
watching the late show; or force yourself
Out in the night to meet your generation
You feel like claymation in fluorescent light
On our knees, we made it hard to see
We made it hard to breathe and the air was thin


7. BAD BEST FRIEND

I only wanna say things that are pure:
Now I won't be talking anymore
I only wanna do things that are true
Every time I move I'm hurting you
I wanna know what is it that you do
To keep from hurting anyone but you?
Cause I still say your name when I don't feel right, just like I used to
And if most people fade to gray and black, you'll fade to light blue
I think too much and then start talking mean
Where did I get all these selfish genes?
Best friends, I'm a bad best friend
I'll meet you today when no-one is watching
We'll throw our money away, I'll meet you today


8. DISPOSSESSION

My coat, leave behind my coat and my belt
Leave behind my coat and all that
I don't want it back...
It's called undertown and it's over that way
Some people leave in the morning
Some people when they go to bed
Inside, it's been rotting for a long time now
Ever since I found out
I'm not to blame if I get left out
My coat, leave behind the looks, magazines and books
Don't want it back
We're going away, we're dropping the lot
We'll take another tack if we ever get stopped
It's the last plan we made before we came unglued
There's a lot of things to do
I can't do in my room
I can't get out too soon


9. THE VOICES

Why do I worry, what do they think?
What is she saying to them?
I can't ignore anything
You're eating up my world like my every second was haunted
Were you just like this since you were a girl, cause it's all I've ever wanted
I'm just like you, peel away the layers two by two
You're just like me, piling on the pressure three by three
We're almost done shutting out the voices one by one
Why do I worry, what do they think?
What is she telling her friends?
I can't ignore anything
I'm planning out my moves like my every second was graded
I'm obsessed, I get no rest


10. FIRECRACKER

This time, the win is mine
My perfect life
Room spin, don't know how to stop, don't know how to start
Firecracker, the one you keep inside
Firecracker, you don't know how to light
So sink in the tailspin of plans and sleep
Or come and crush me tight
My favorite high
Here comes the film, PG 13!
Crackdown
No net no cage, no first mistake


11. SLOW DOWN

You see yourself sitting on top so self assured - happy
But when your parents bail you out you somehow feel not free
You're bored to tears in school, it's not like what you thought at all
Trouble is not the answer, I know what you want to know:

Slow down
Why you wanna move so fast?
Why you wanna walk so far?
I think I know what you want

Your father toys with you hoping his evil game will win
In order not to loose, the trick is not to play with him
Anything good you do is added to your past - your wealth
You'll need it all the day you finally choose to ask yourself:

Slow down
Why you wanna move so fast?
Why you wanna walk so far?
Wait and find out who you are
And how you're gonna make it last

Something's gonna change, now re-spell your name
Tired of highs and lows, now derail your train
And if this letter finds you lost and out of touch - lonely
I hope you know by now you mean so very much to me


12. ROBOT

You're just walking round your little mazes figuring out how to get by
How to get laid and get famous, get yourself paid, impress the guys

You think you're thinking for yourself
But when you get on the subway's most crowded part just to stand behind a girl
Then you are just a robot, executing a program
You are just a robot, an imitation of a man

You're taught to divide the world into buddies and wives, sluts and wimps;
And ever since, you've kept a scorecard - how else to prove you're such the pimp

You think you're thinking for yourself
But when you when you can't get any the consentual way so you decide to use some force
Then you are just a robot, executing a program
You are just a robot, an imitation of a man

She told me one night when we were lying quiet and cold, something not right
It had been months since the good times, once there was sun, now there was night

And she said to me as she turned on the light
"There's something you don't know keeps me from feeling right.
I once knew a guy, I'd seen him around
He knew all my friends, he came from town
One night at a party, we both were there
He followed me into the bathroom, he grabbed my hair"
And she said "I still remember just how the floor felt and how my head would hit the tub"
Now where is that robot, put a stake thru my true love
Where is that robot, should get struck down from above
You are just a robot, executing a program, an imitation of a man
