Watch her Go slow She’s the killing girl with the killingest flow Lights off You know She’s the killing girl with the killingest flow Eyes are mirrors Strange company Are you gonna hit me Are you gonna leave Heard a rumour Is it true? I’m not the first and there have been a few She’s the killing girl with the killingest flow She’s the killing girl with the killingest flow She likes what she does and it’s so sweet to see I’ll incorporate her company She’s the killing girl with the killingest flow She’s the killing girl with the killingest flow Some kind of logic I can’t see But when I look at her I want to believe Softly pacing Coiled spring I can’t look away I can’t leave the ring Will you tell me Is it true? I’m not the first and there have been a few She’s the killing girl with the killingest flow She’s the killing girl with the killingest flow She likes what she does and it’s so sweet to see I’ll incorporate her company She’s the killing girl with the killingest flow She’s the killing girl with the killingest flow It’s some kind of logic That I can’t see But when I look at her I want to believe And I’ve dreamed of the day when you finally take me down I’m not making excuses I’m running myself out of town Give her a licence Make it official She deserves all her mean mean feats Give her a licence Make it official She deserves all her mean mean feats She’s the killing girl with the killingest flow She’s the killing girl with the killingest flow She likes what she does and it’s so sweet to see I’ll incorporate her company She’s the killing girl with the killingest flow She’s the killing girl with the killingest flow Some kind of logic I can’t see But when I look at her I want to believe Want to believe I want I want to believe

I’m going to the dance And I’m going to take a chance Because I like to have a A big fun You can listen for my shoes but I won’t give any clues I’m a sneaky tiger on the run While you watch the horizon Feel the noise inside you Levitation ride into the sun I’ve been a digging in the dark While you whistle in the park Should have known it was you holding the Nightclub mishap Fallen in a glitter trap UV cocktail faces beaming Silent fire exits screaming Thicky vapour smells so sweet No one seems to mind the heat We’re sweating and shaking as one Johnny gets an eyeful and Patricia has a rifle She’s never gonna make it as a nun The fog is thickening and the smell turns sickening There is something floating in my rum We’re stomping and a thrashing And we all look very dashing Should have seen there was a fall to come Nightclub mishap Fallen in a glitter trap UV cocktail faces beaming Silent fire exits screaming Boulder men roll in like walls Saw you kissing in the stalls Lost under fluorescent lights Out my way tonight’s the night I’m going to the dance And I’m going to take a chance Because I like to have a A big fun You can listen for my shoes but I won’t give any clues I’m a sneaky tiger on the run While you watch the horizon Feel the noise inside you Levitation ride into the sun I’ve been a digging in the dark While you whistle in the park Should have known it was you holding the Nightclub mishap Fallen in a glitter trap UV cocktail faces beaming Silent fire exits screaming Boulder men roll in like walls Saw you kissing in the stalls Lost under fluorescent lights Out my way tonight’s the night Nightclub mishap Fallen in a glitter trap UV cocktail faces beaming Silent fire exits screaming Boulder men roll in like walls Saw you kissing in the stalls Lost under fluorescent lights Out my way tonight’s the night! Nightclub mishap Fallen in a glitter trap Nightclub mishap Fallen in a glitter trap Nightclub mishap Fallen in a glitter trap Nightclub mishap Fallen in a glitter trap

In a brown box with the locks on you've been waiting The day has come it's time to take your turn Pull your socks up doesn't matter if it's raining The bus won't wait for you to change your mind Pulling up the ground beneath your feet Nobody else could Do what you do And when you cross the finish line I will be with you You're only starting Pulling up the ground beneath your feet Nobody else could do what you do And when you cross the finish line I will be with you You're only starting And when you cross the finish line I will be with you You're only starting And when you cross the finish line I will be with you You're only starting

We watch while you sleep We see each move you make Sweet dreams Sweet dreams Outside the lights are burning brightly Sweet dreams Sweet dreams Every thought you've had is just another path we gave you Sweet dreams You know you're free to be Anything we've made you want to be Sweet dreams Sweet dreams Dreams Sweet dreams Sweet dreams We're working while you sleep and in to your thoughts we creep We find you Sweet dreams Our gentle arms are wrapped around you Sweet dreams Sweet dreams Sweet dreams Dreams Sweet dreams Sweet dreams Dreams Dreams Sweet dreams Sweet dreams Outside the lights are burning brightly Our gentle arms are all around you And now you're free to be Anything we've made you want to be Sweet dreams Sweet dreams Dreams Sweet dreams Sweet dreams Sweet dreams

I’ve got the building to myself I’m gonna turn everything on It won’t be harmful to my health At least not in the short term I’ve got no idea where you are Ignite the force of the stars to find you I could kiss my aerial One million watts of power My fuel assembly works so well Heat heat without any fire I’ve got no idea where you are I steal the light from the stars to find you Real friends are hard to find No connection with my own kind Invite the people in my mind Real friends are hard to find No connection with my own kind Invite the people in my mind I leave lines open for your call But don’t expect to be answered In my booth I’m ten feet tall All doubting thoughts have been cancelled I’ve got no idea where you are Ignite the force of the stars to find you Real friends are hard to find No connection with my own kind Invite the people in my mind I’ve got no idea where you are Ignite the force of the stars To find you

From the North darkness fell These fires start themselves Cracked earth Crying leaves Your voice carried by the breeze Rough smoke dusts my eyes Your hand guiding mine Running wild leave no trace We go through the haze Sweeping forth, we're ablaze These fires start themselves Disintegrate the bad old days These fires start themselves From the North darkness fell These fires start themselves Cracked earth Crying leaves Your voice carried by the breeze Rough smoke dusts my eyes Your hand guiding mine Running wild leave no trace We go through the haze Sweeping forth, we're ablaze These fires start themselves Disintegrate the bad old days These fires start themselves Sweeping forth, we're ablaze Disintegrate the bad old days

摘碑東勘の内で摘み草をした / I plucked wildflowers at Marunouchi in Tokyo 昭和は樺代のはじめ / At the end of the 1920’s 払は十樹tのなかごろ / I was in my mid-teens. 銀行へ通う / On my way to work 出動の勘がち / To the Bank 袴僻居をひるがえし / The hem of my kimono-trousers flapping 鋪道の脇をちょっと駈けのほると / Just a dash up the embankment beside the footpath 原っばがひちけた / Before my eyes an open field クロ-バ- / Clover タンボボ / Dandelions ハルジョオン / Philadelphia fleabane Shy girl Playing with your food Looking at the wall wanting something to do On your knees Facing west Took all day to put on your favourite dress Tucked in Safe as houses How many hours? It must have been thousands See the others Watch them pass Everyone else seems to move so fast Sparrows dance Over your head and under your thoughts You're long gone No reason to stay here waiting Gather up your things Leave the map behind This not a joke, you've made up your mind Look out turn the corner but don't turn your head If you look back you'll forget what you said 戦犠の輯駅周辺は / Around the postwar Tokyo Station 経摘成長の伸びをクラ7にしたような / Just like a graph of the economic boom 新しい高層建瀞である / Tall skyscrapers bloomed

The Sea Live 02:57
Down by the sea Down by the sea It's you or me It's you or me So much to be So much to see Surrounded by the ruined used-to-bes When they were walking in sunshine They couldn't see it's against time Nobody's sick Nobody bleeds You can't be free You can't be free Go wander off in the darkness Go run and hide in your playpen I know we've got something hidden We can't keep anything from them Down by the sea Down by the sea It's you or me It's you or me Down by the sea Down by the sea It's you or me It's you or me The knives are out They're coming out You can't be free You can't be free Open your eyes and arteries Life's never free down by the sea Down by the sea Down by the sea Down by the sea Down by the sea Down by the sea Down by the sea Down by the sea Down by the sea

I want to go where nobody can find us I want to go where nobody can find us I want to go where nobody can find us I want to go where nobody can find us I’m mostly good But have an underground Some of my galleries aren’t so bad You should come and see them if you’re ever around A ring of gothic arches around the shopping zone But you should see my red light district and send the photos home I want to go where nobody can find us I want to go where nobody can find us I want to go where nobody can find us Where we can put our tragedies behind us You won’t escape Why not take the scenic route By a car by a train to a field and feel the sweetest fruit My factory sits smoking on the edges of my land In case things get out of hand. I want to go where nobody can find us I want to go where nobody can find us I want to go where nobody can find us Where we can put our tragedies behind us I want to go where nobody can find us I want to go where nobody can find us I want to go where nobody can find us I want to go where nobody can find us My factory sits smoking on the edges of my land In case things get out of hand My factory sits smoking on the edges of my land In case things get out of hand

The way you walk into the square and enter glass spaces All doors are open to you up there Take what you want and don't care And you so high beyond compare Is there anything to stop you now? Don't look down Is there anything to stop you now? How does it feel when you look down Could you find my face? Are we separate Surface bound A shadow grows your time is done The swollen river lies But I won't leave you behind in dust There's nothing left here only rust We / We will become free We will be / We will become We / We will become free We will be / We will become A hundred arms have cut you down Did you see my face? Thousands of voices that scream one sound I will be replaced Under the river and outside time It's too late to change But I won't leave you behind in dust There's nothing left here only rust We / We will become free We will be / We will become We / We will become free We will be / We will become

Frightening interference Something came between us The world is full of voices Permanent on call We ran for days together We came upon a clearing Somewhere to lay your head down And watch as darkness falls Please don't let this drown us out Please don't let this drown us out With all of England dreaming Standing at the sky side Naked in the starlight The pause before the fall When did you stop dreaming? Where did it all go wrong? Pining in the starlight Forgotten who you are When did you stop dreaming? Where did it all go wrong? Hiding in the half light Forgotten what you're for Please don't let this drown us out Please don't let this drown us out Please don't let this drown us out Please don't let this drown us out Half the world is sleeping Frozen at the skyside Blinking in the starlight The pause before the fall We ran for years together We came upon a clearing Somewhere to lay your head down And wait as darkness falls
