LOVE IN THE END TIMES


Everybody’s talking ‘bout the end of the world

We’re living in the end times

I’ve got a plan for you and me girl

Let’s find love in the end times


Two hearts on the road on the run

You’re going to find

That last setting sun


Say goodbye to your beach vacation

Tequila sunset, footprints in the sand

Say hello to a new sensation

Hotter, wetter, more than you planned 


This world ain’t going last forever

So Take a picture

It’s now or it’s never


Everybody’s talking ‘bout the end of the world

We’re living in the end times

Got a plan for you and me girl

We’ll find love in the end times


Forget about that summer vacation 

Tequila sunrise toes in the sand

You’re gettin ready for a new sensation

Hotter, wetter, more than you planned


It’s love in the end times, yeah

It’s love in the end times

It’s the end times

It’s the end times

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR


I had it all, but I wanted more

The keys to the castle but I had to find the back door

I had the toys, baby. I had the stuff.

Yesterday was just too late, too much was not enough 

But life’s funny, treasure turns to trash

First comes the rush, and then comes the crash

 

Better be careful, what you wish for

Better be careful, be careful what you wish for

Better the careful, what you wish for

You just might get it, you just might get it


He picked the numbers for the Powerball

Two, seven, twelve, eleven, twenty-two

Well he had them all

He said it’s time to satisfy my need

Salesman told him “Friend, I think I’ve got your speed”

He picked his color, he paid in cash

He drove that new Ferrari straight off the overpass


Better be careful, what you wish for

Better be careful, be careful what you wish for

Better be careful, be careful what you wish for

You just might get it, you just might get it


His agent told him you’re the king of this town

And like a king you need to learn to party down

We’ve got, beautiful women, beautiful men

Thirteen temptations, and one original sin

So take that money, and take that fame

And shoot it up like a needle in your vein

So burn that candle, and seize that day

And take a pretty picture on that stainless steel tray


Better be careful, what you wish for

Better be careful, be careful what you wish for yeah

Better be careful, be careful what you wish for

Cuz you just might get it, you just might get it

Better be careful, be careful

Better be careful, be careful what you wish for yeah

Better be careful, be careful what you wish for

You just might get it, you just might get it

You just might get it, you just might get it

We just might get it, you know you’re gonna get it, I had it all

LIVING ON THE FAULTLINE


Living on the Faultline

Waiting for the landslide

Living on the Faultline


Welcome to the land of milk and honey

Don’t forget to bring all your money

We’ve got surf, sand, rock n’roll bands

Pretty pretty people with time on their hands 


Living on the Faultline

Waiting for the Landslide

Living on the Faultline


Sky so blue, sea so green

Hardcore kiddies and soft machines

Take a good headshot, be cool

Just stay young stay beautiful

If you want a fresh start, if you want a cheap thrill

There’s a bungalow, at the bottom of the hill


Living on the Faultline

Playing in the sunshine

Waiting for the landslide, at the bottom of the hill

Living on the Faultline, at the bottom of the hill


This is where the fun begins

Where the party never really ends

Best of enemies, worst of friends

This is where the fun begins


Living on the Faultline

It’s hot at the top and it’s cold at the bottom

Playing in the sunshine

So take it while you can, and smoke ‘em if you got ‘em

Waiting for the landslide

Remember your friends, if you still got em

Living on the Faultline

Let me know when you hit rock bottom


This is where,There’s a fire in the sky

This is where,There’s a fire in the sky

Gonna shake, rattle and roll

Gonna shake, rattle and roll

Shake, rattle and roll

ART GUARD


Went to the Met, I had the day off

I wanted culture, didn’t want to flake off

I went upstairs, to room 207

That’s when I saw, that little bit of heaven

She was standing there next to the Lautrec

My knees grew weak, my heart was a wreck

I moved closer, I could read her badge, it said,

“ART GUARD…My name is MADGE”


Art Guard, She stole my heart

Art Guard, She had me from the start

Art Guard, Doing her part

Art Guard, She was guarding the Art


I asked if she’d go for coffee sometime

She said “I’m here each day from two o’clock to nine.”

I couldn’t hide it, I wanted her that much

She said “You can look but you just can’t touch”


Art Guard, She stole my heart

Art Guard, She had me from the start

Art Guard, Doing her part

Art Guard, She was guarding the Art


I said “I like the Cubists but I’m more into Dada”

She said “Try the Pointillists. You really outta”

“But where’s Monet, Degas, Gauguin?”

She said, “Meet me upstairs in room 410.” She was a… 


Art Guard, She stole my heart

Art Guard, She had me from the start

Art Guard, Just doing her part

Art Guard, She was guarding the Art


She flew to Paris, went back to school

Worked at Musee D’Orsay, and well that was cool

She found her passion, well that’s a fact

That little masterpiece, she’s not coming back, She’s still a..


Art Guard, She broke my heart

Art Guard, She tore my life apart

Art Guard, I still see her in my dreams

Art Guard, That little masterpiece

SHE'S THE ONE


She dances on water 

She moves with the wind

She stands in the falling rain

She knows when to begin

She stands in the storm 

She walks through the fire

Her smile is the rainbow 

Her voice is desire 


How could you not want her?

How could you not love her?

How could you not want to live in her world?

She is the one.


She waits in the storm

She walks in the fire

Her smile is the rainbow

Her voice is desire


How could you not want her?

How could you not love her?

How could you not want to live in her world?

She is the one.

She is the one

She is the one

She is the one

 

She dances on water  

She moves in the wind

She stands in the falling rain  

She knows when to begin

She stands in the falling rain

She knows when to begin

 

How could you not want her?

How could you not love her?

How could you not want to live in her world?

She is the one

She is the one 

She is the one

She is the one

CAN'T SIT STILL


I can’t sit still, can’t stay in one place

I need a thrill to keep me in the race

I need distraction, I need extraction

I need traction, I want some action!


Some new sensation

Instant gratification

Total saturation

Digital medication


I’ve got a girlfriend, She’s just like me

She’s a little firecracker, She keeps things moving baby

When I want a flame, She strikes the match

We’re both a little insane, We’re a perfect match 


Some new sensation, yeah yeah

Instant gratification, oh yeah

Total saturation, yeah yeah

 Digital medication


Some new sensation, got to have it

Instant gratification, it’s my habit

Total saturation

Digital medication

 

Just slow down

Just slow down

Can’t slow down

Can’t slow down


I’ve got a girlfriend, She’s just like me

She’s a little firecracker, She keeps things moving baby

We’re a perfect match 

We’re a perfect match

IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE


I got my dog to protect me

I’ve got a fence around my property

Twenty-four cameras watching over me

Twenty-four cameras


It’s a Jungle out there, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

It’s a Jungle out there, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah


Put it in the water, put it in the air

Make it hotter, no one’s gonna care

Sell your soul for a piece of the pie

Watch your back, reach for the sky


Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


It’s out there 

Out there

Gotta prepare

It’s a Jungle


I watch it all on my wide screen

I hear it all on my best stream

Is my neighbor there looking at me?

What’s he gonna hear, and what’s he gonna see?


It’s a Jungle out there

Gotta be prepared

It’s a Jungle out there

It’s a family affair


I remember when my world was softer

I remember when the sky was still blue

I remember when the lines were still open 

between me and you.


I got my gun to protect me, out there

I got a fence around my property

Twenty-four cameras watching over me, out there

Twenty-four cameras 

 

It’s a Jungle out there, yeah yeah yeah yeah, 

It’s a Jungle out there, yeah yeah yeah yeah

SURFACE OF THE SUN


We travel over land 

across the burning sand

Where the hidden rivers run

Beneath the surface of the sun

We wonder deep through the night

A million stars will be our lights

We’ll make together as one

And greet the surface of the sun


Hey yeah, and we won’t leave a trace

Hey yeah, upon this holy place

Hey yeah, our steps will be erased


And when this journey is done

One thousand miles we have come

But we’ve only begun

To touch the surface of the sun


Hey yeah, and we won’t leave a trace

Hey yeah, upon this holy place

Hey yeah, our steps will be erased


We travelled over land

Across the burning sand

Where the hidden rivers run

Beneath the surface of the sun


A million stars will be our lights

will be our lights
