Lyrics:
Oh, stop thinking of tomorrow, don't stop thinking of today
You're not getting any younger, you've got nothing to explain
You've got resolutions, you've got resolutions
Fastening in your wake, fastening in your wake
Take instead the high tide, take instead the high tide
At the man-made lake, at the man-made lake
It may take a while, it may take a while
It may take all day, it may take all day
All the implications, all the implications
At the man-made lake, at the man-made lake
Oh, stop thinking of tomorrow, don't stop thinking of today
You're not getting any younger, you've got nothing to explain
Do wa bap
Who ya gonna call when the power
Begins to chase you
Spinning out of shape now you're learning to live again
Fastening your seatbelt tonight it could get jumpy
Showing me the good 'n' that
Life is not in vain
Take take take 'n' take me through the lightning
Walk don't talk me always on the run
Ride it out until you get the picture
Shake it up and let me get me some
Let me get me some
Eya he say touch it together
Touching my spirit touching my feeling
Eya he say touch it together
Touching my spirit touching my feeling
Eya he say coming together
Touching my spirit touching my feeling
Eya he say coming together
Touching my spirit touching my feeling
Talk, talk, talk, keep moving 'round in circles
Moving till the moon is on the run
Take me take me take me to the new day
Take me out and let me get me some
Take take take and dance me through the lightning
Moving to the left 'n' to the sun... ya ya ya
Help me get me some... ya

Ooh ya... ooh ya... ooh ya... ooh ya

Fastening your seatbelt tonight it could get jumpy

Walk don't talk me always on the run
Ride it out until you get the picture
Shake it up and let me get me some

I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
Is fastening my ankle to a stone
Now so long, Marianne
It's time that we began to laugh
And cry and cry and laugh about it all again
For now I need your hidden love
I'm cold as a new razorblade
You left when I told you I was curious
I never said that I was brave
Oh, so long, Marianne
It's time that we began to laugh
And cry and cry and laugh about it all again
Oh, you are really such a pretty one
I see you've gone and changed your name again
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
To wash my eyelids in the rain
Oh, so long, Marianne
It's time that we began to laugh
And cry and cry and laugh about it all again
Well I get up in the morning and it's just another day
Pack up my belongings cause I gotta get away
Jump into a taxi and the time is getting tight
Heading for the airport cause I got a show tonight
And I'm movin' on, movin' on from town to town
I'm movin' on, my feet are never on the ground
Well I check into the ticket desk with half an hour to go
Heading for the boarding gate I'm feeling pretty low
Fifteen minutes later and I'm sitting on a plane
Fastening my safety belt I'm taking off again
And I'm movin' on, movin' on from town to town
Yeah I'm movin' on, my feet are never on the ground
Yeah I'm movin' on, movin' on from town to town
Yeah I'm movin' on, my feet are never on the ground
Flat out I'm running
Through walls of concrete
Far from my spirit
A lifetime of hate
It shown on our faces
A million years
Screeching and yelling
Don't hear no sound
Blue light of heaven
Rising up from the ground
It shown on our faces
A million years
The fear coming over
The death taking hold of me
Preparing my face
For the gates of eternity, yeah
Fastening my ankles
Strapping my wrists
Sending me someplace
Where pain don't exist
It shown on our faces
A million years
A million years
The fear coming over
The death taking hold of me
Preparing my face
For the gates of eternity, yeah
Like frost on the branches now
Like foam on the surf
There's nothing I can't find now
There's nothing I'm worth
Shown on our faces
A million years
A million years
A million years
A million years
Flat out I'm running
Through walls of concrete
Far from my spirit
A lifetime of hate
It shown on our faces
A million years
Screeching and yelling
Don't hear no sound
Blue light of heaven
Rising up from the ground
It shown on our faces
A million years
The fear coming over
The death taking hold of me
Preparing my face
For the gates of eternity, yeah
Fastening my ankles
Strapping my wrists
Taking my someplace
Where pain don't exist
It shown on our faces
A million years
A million years
The fear coming over
The death taking hold of me
Preparing my face
For the gates of eternity, yeah
Like frost on the branches now
Like foam on the surf
There's nothing I [?]
I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
Is fastening my ankle to a stone.
Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
For now I need your hidden love.
Which way to go
Life in a fastening take slow
Weed in the ground,we make a grow
Speed on the ground and we take a boat
I want to take a vote
a vote for myself in a state of float
Which way to go
Life in a fastening take slow
Weed in the ground,we make a grow
Speed on the ground and we take a boat
Which way to go
Life in a fastening take slow
Weed in the ground,we make a grow
Speed on the ground and we take a boat
Which way to go
Life in a fastening take slow
Weed in the ground,we make a grow
Speed on the ground and we take a boat
I want to take a vote
a vote for myself in a state of float
Which way to go
Life in a fastening take slow
Weed in the ground,we make a grow
Speed on the ground and we take a boat
Which way to go
Life in a fastening take slow
Weed in the ground,we make a grow
Speed on the ground and we take a boat
I'm standing on a ledge
And your fine spider web is fastening
My ankle to a stone
Now so long, Marianne
It's time that we began to laugh
And cry and cry and laugh about it all again
For now, I need your hidden love
I'm cold as new razor blade
You left when I told you I was curious
But I never never said that I was brave
Oh so long, Marianne
It's time that we began to laugh
And cry and cry and laugh about it all again
Oh you are really such a pretty one
I see you've gone and changed your name again
And just when I climbed this old mountainside
(side) to wash my eyelids in the rain oh
Oh so long, Marianne
It's time that we began to laugh
And cry and cry and laugh about it all again
When I breathe in and I mean it, you'll know why I'm here
A pretty sight, a fight: that's that shit that you like
Horror nights, beach side: that's that shit that you like
TV lights, a cry: that's that shit that you like
Smokin pipe, held tight: that's that shit that you like
A pretty sight, a fight: that's that shit that you like
Horror nights, beach side: that's that shit that you like
TV lights, a cry: that's that shit that you like
Smokin pipe, held tight: that's that shit that you like
Baby darling I know that there's no where you have to be
Break out that VHS and play it all back to me
Watching everything unfold in its untold majesty
It's no wonder I fell so deep in your fastenings
Baby darling I know that there's no where you have to be
Break out that VHS and play it all back to me
Watching everything unfold in its untold majesty
It's no wonder I feel so deep in your fastenings
Baby darling I know that there's no where you have to be
Break out that VHS and play it all back to me
Watching everything unfold in its untold majesty
It's no wonder I feel so deep in your fastenings
Now that I know the time that I have wasted
Now that I know no use to wonder why
Now that I know the sorrows I have tasted
Now that I know Ithink I'll say goodbye
Many is the time that I anticipated
Wonderful thoughts that never did come true
Many is the time I sat alone and waited
Hoping I catch a glimpse or two of you
Flying in dreams I have no solid ending
Wandering through a life that's ill advised
Now we must close the game you've left me pending
Fastening to a brief but open sky
Many is the time that I anticipated
Wonderful thoughts that never did come true
Many is the time I sat alone and waited
Hoping I catch a glimpse or two of you
Now that I know the time that I have wasted
Now that I know no use to wonder why
Now that I know the sorrows I have tasted
Now that I know Ithink I'll say goodbye
Now that I know the time that I have wasted
Now that I know no use to wonder why
Now that I know the sorrows I have tasted
Now that I know Ithink I'll say goodbye
So there's another clockwork day
Of worn-out love and waning clay
The last awake, a door shut time
So ends another clockwork night
No, he needed something real
And now he knows where to find it
IMG4329, the flushed flesh of new love in summer
The couples drawn, the sun secluded and a gift that fits
IMG4378, fastening the strap of a sharpened shoe on a hotel table
The puckish promise of a bended knee
IMG4398, a borrowed hoodie and a bruised thigh
The absent eyes of afternoon afterglow and the suspense of more to come
IMG4457, wearing nothing but a new postcode
Statuesque on bedspread plinth and reddened room
As family smiles from fresh IKEA frames
IMG4564, the sleeping venus in a half-painted kitchen
As hopeful spermatozoa race to an ovum's open arms
IMG4382, an internet closeup of a solitary act
Sent like a love letter long, long ago
Secretly sated once again
He softly ascends to the bedroom
And slept gently undercovers
To join a snoring spouse
In the almost dark she's hardly aged a day
When he removes his glasses
She looks just the same she does in the pixels of those old jpegs
Those low res memories, buried in folders within folders
Even at my lowest I would always try to give a hand
People doing wrong so I guess they wouldn't understand
Always played my part, but I started not to give a damn
Always kept my heart realizing that it was in the plan
I'm in a jam, never scared, mother fucker jamming hoe
Ray Bans on, I'm playing on my piano slow
Any motion could be eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Moving it like Fidel, to the Pablo, to the Castro
Effortless when I put in effort, cause I could fuck yo bitch and act like I never met her
And I could cut up shit like a nigga name is Edward
And you don't wanna hear me on my worst, you haven't seen me on my worse
Choose the peace, fuck a curse , and ya wickedest ways
Cause a nigga like me done been through them wickedest days
Couldn't step foot in my shoes and walk a mile to get saved
Looking down on some niggas thinking that they be great
Sky blue my horizon I could see through the shade
I know they want my vision blurry, I could peep through the grey
Snowboarding, and I'm skiing, and I'm bout to go skate
Doing donuts in a foreign after that rollerblade
I'm Gone
That's real shit you know
It's all it could ever be
Parking lot pimping parlaying for like 3 hours long
Reminiscing bitches and thinking of how I did em wrong
Never my intentions or scripted to ever break a heart
Would of been different if I knew it from the fucking start
Or maybe it was me being all caught up
In my asshole ways, when I should of thought of
Being more mature what the fuck I was young
I give it up to the lord cause a nigga ain't dumb
And I can't knock my momma down, on how I was brought up
But when it's coming to survival, gotta sacrifice love
Dad couldn't be a idol so I got no fucking idols
And I'm noticing as you come up, these idols become rivals
So I'm fastening my seatbelt as I load up my gut
Feeling
Telling me these niggas I cannot trust
So I'm fastening my seatbelt as I load up my gut
Feeling
Telling me these niggas I cannot trust
So I'm fastening my seatbelt as I load up my gut
Feeling
Telling me these niggas I cannot trust
So I'm fastening my seatbelt as I load up my gut
Feeling
Telling me these niggas I cannot trust
Im Gone
Gluttony and envy, lust is over-friendly
Pride will come before a fall
Nobody's ever fallen this hard before
You come along and messin' up my perfect score
'Cause I don't do jealousy
(But) but jealousy might do me
Gonna get you in the end
I pretend with all my energy
I don't do jealousy
There's things I wanna undo
I realize that I love you
When I watch you loving someone else
I haven't managed yet though and now I wanna let go
I'm fastening up my safety belts
Nobody's ever crashed this hard before
(You) you come along and show me what I'm waiting for
Because I don't do jealousy
(But) but jealousy might do me
Gonna get you in the end
I pretend with all my energy
I don't do jealousy
Jealousy, jealousy
Jealousy, jealousy, oh
Look what you've done to me
Look what you've done to me
Jealousy, jealousy
Jealousy, jealousy, oh
Look what you've done to me
Look what you've done to me
'Cause I don't do jealousy
(But) but jealousy might do me
Gonna get you in the end
I pretend with all my energy
I don't do jealousy
I don't do jealousy
(But) but jealousy might do me
Gonna get you in the end
I pretend with all my energy
I don't do jealousy
I'm fastening myself to the rhythm
Like a ribbon
So when the morning breaks
And the sun is still shy
It's tied like a kite
Though it tries to escape me
And tangle itself up in my mind
I might break a new string
Lose my voice so that I can't sing
Or lose the beat at the wrong time
And watch the rhythm float off
Into the sky that might be soft
Or fall to ground that never was
We dance, our hopeless shaking
To the skins that we're breaking
Or beat upon so as not to feel
What's wrong with this rhythm
What's wrong with this rhythm
What's wrong
What's wrong
What's wrong
What's wrong
What's wrong?
It's 6:45
The night is still young
And now you're on my mind
Movies and wine
My friends are having fun
While I'm biding my time
I'll kiss somebody new to feel less alone
But no one stays after Two
I guess that's just how it goes
Another dead end
I know it'll take another weekend in bed
I'll run from my thoughts
I'll chase another heartbreak
I'll break one instead
I'll say it every time until it's the truth
I know I'll never win
But what if I do
Once again, once again
Once again, nothing new
I'll pretend we're just friends
While you're tying your shoes
You'll forget and I'll regret it
Like there's something to lose
Now you're walking out the door
And I just let you do it
So what does it take
To be the hand that's worth holding
I'm always afraid
No one wants someone who's broken
So I make this mistake
over, and over, and over
'Till there's nothing to take from me
I'm just getting older
I'm fastening a seatbelt to a car that won't drive
It's hard to crash and burn if you've got no fuel inside
And they can't really overstep, there was never a line
I'm fastening a seatbelt to a car that won't drive
11 a.m. and I'm bored to death
God forbid, I'm alone in my head
And my best friend
Said there's nothing to him
He's the reason that you had to get a therapist
And I know
That you'd kill to get one more kiss
But you know he never thinks about you like this
Imagine if you would've went and had some kids
They would've grown up to be just like him
I'm waiting for the part
Where I move on
Magic from the start
Fall in love in a car
Look up at the stars
This one wont fall apart
But life is hard
It breaks your heart
I'll feel it when it gets dark
Once again, once again
Once again, nothing new
I'll pretend we're just friends
While you're tying your shoes
You'll forget and I'll regret it
Like there's something to lose
Now you're walking out the door
So what does it take
To be the hand that's worth holding
I'm always afraid
No one wants someone who's broken
So I make this mistake
Over, and over, and over
'Till there's nothing to take from me
I'm just getting older
I'm fastening a seatbelt to a car that won't drive
It's hard to crash and burn if you've got no fuel inside
And they can't really overstep, there was never a line
I'm fastening a seatbelt to a car that won't drive
Now do you believe
In the one big sign
The double wide shine
On the boot heels of your prime
Doesn't matter if you're skinny
Doesn't matter if you're fat
You can dress up like a sultan
In your onion head hat
We are building a religion
We are making a brand
We're the only ones to turn to
When your castles turn to sand
Take a bite of this apple
Mr. corporate events
Take a walk through the jungle
Of cardboard shanties and tents
Some people drink Pepsi
Some people drink Coke
The wacky morning DJ
Says democracy's a joke
He says now do you believe
In the one big song
He's now accepting callers
Who would like to sing along
He says, do you believe
In the one true edge
By fastening your safety belts
And stepping towards the ledge
He is handling the money
He is serving the food
He is now accepting callers
He is calling me "DUDE!"
They are lying down, the Great Old Ones.
The bolts are fallen and the fastenings are placed.
The crowds are quiet and the people are quiet.
The Elder Gods of the Land
The Elder Goddesses of the Land
SHAMMASH
SIN
ADAD
ISHTAR
Have gone to sleep in heaven.
Time and time and time again
Stutter up and gain again
Talk to someone, don't care about
Then a friendship start to sprout
Spraying Axe all on myself
Making girls reject the hell
Making people know my name
It's just to cope so we're not the same
Asking everyone to dance
If they say no it's a joke
Asking someone to hold hands
When it happens, don't make jokes
Fumbled every bag imaginable in my hands
Yet the time I had was Vance running Point Pinole fast
And of the people I met
Thought you were my worst regret
Couldn't keep my head above your wall
Scared to death
Started shaking when you came to me
I'm not used to breaking the fastening
Scared to death
Started shivering in the heat of it
Yeah, and the hug proceeded it
Was everything I thought that I never knew that I would need
Everything I thought that I needed just to be free, from former enemies
Time and time again again
So glad that we began again
Brought the worst back to the best
I still regret zero percent
Thank you for being the bigger man
I'm not equipped to deliver news
Even if it leads to good, yeah word for word
A year ago I wrote a song an emotional epic long piece
About how much I hated every feeling you created
But you modulate the key unlock my darkest feelings
And brought a key that set not one but both of us free
Even though I will never see most of these people again
I'm glad it ended up with me calling most of them my friend
And of the people I met
Thought you were my worst regret
Couldn't keep my head above your wall
Scared to death
Started shaking when you came to me
I'm not used to breaking the fastening
Scared to death
Started shivering in the heat of it
Yeah, and the hug proceeded it
Was everything I thought that I never knew that I would need
Everything I thought that I needed just to be free, from former enemies
A year ago I wrote a song an emotional epic long piece
About how much I hated every feeling you created
(Alright)
(Yeah)
Scared to death
Started shaking when you came to me
I'm not used to breaking the fastening
Scared to death
Started shivering in the heat of it
Yeah, and the hug proceeded it
Was everything I thought that I never knew that I would need
Everything I thought that I needed just to be free
Far away in a space
There's a pair of shiny stars
And they blink to my eyes
Fastening beat of heart
There's a planet nearby
Place, I wanna go & stay
I am sending my signal
To the outer space
I am here and I wait
For a spaceship in the sky
I am here and I wait
For a sign
Thru the cold & empty space
Thru the asteroid belt
Between galaxies & stars
Crossing comet's tail
And I hope there'll be a time
Signal reaches an alien mind
I am waiting for reply
From the outer space
Strange people in a strange time
Straight walking on a thin line
Circles surrounding
Cycles around me
Pipe dream hit like lightning
Frightening but it excites me
Fastening, ready for hyperspeed
Two seats to the next stream
People on the street they see me but what do they really see
Is it the shell on the outs or the lightbulb on top of me
Persona they know me, wait
Persona they don't know me
Persona they know me, wait
Persona they can't see me
Strange people in a strange time
Straight walking on a thin line
Circles surrounding
Cycles around me
Strange people in a strange time
Straight walking on a thin line
Circles surrounding
Cycles around me
We're alive as we'll ever be it seems
Wide awake then fast asleep again
Lifeline bends in a continuum of blinding light to dark
To chase the morning stars away
Fastening its grip I'm caught in the pull
And I fade
First ascending then down the other side
From this world, I try to hide within
Desperately reaching out for you to hold
'Til it breaks
Tearing Free
The energy to rise
And see the firelight again
Forever shifting there's higher still to climb
With strength enough to fight
Coming ever closer I feel the cold
Give way
Tearing Free
The energy to rise
And see the firelight again
Story unending there's higher still to climb
With strength enough to fight
