Neon
03:07
|

There's a neon demon dreaming, in the corner of the dance floor
And the shadows that surround her, they will consume, they will consume you
In the dark, in the dark, she is neon, she is neon
In the dark, in the dark, she is neon, she is neon
In the dark, in the dark, she is neon, she is neon
In the dark, in the dark, she is neon, she is neon
There's a neon demon dreaming, in the corner of your nightmares
Every horror you imagine, she can unleash, she can unleash them
There is no hiding from her hunger, there is no peace, there is no silence,
And everything that you are made of, it will become, it will become her
In the dark, in the dark, she is neon, she is neon
In the dark, in the dark, she is neon, she is neon
In the dark, in the dark, she is neon, she is neon
In the dark, in the dark, she is neon, she is neon
And when the galaxies stop screaming, and oblivion surrounds you
The realisation that is blinding, you understand, you understand now
In the dark, in the dark, you are neon, you are neon
In the dark, in the dark, you are neon, you are neon
In the dark, in the dark, you are neon, you are neon
In the dark, in the dark, you are neon, you are neon
In the dark, in the dark, you are neon, you are neon
In the dark, in the dark, you are neon, you are neon
In the dark, in the dark, you are neon, you are neon
In the dark, in the dark, you are neon, you are neon

Fuck Around and Find Out
02:57
|
|||
My bodily autonomy,
the right to be exactly who I wanna be
If you wanna see the angry side of me,
that's a list of things that you could try to take from me
Fuck around, fuck around, fuck around and find out
Fuck around, fuck around, fuck around and find out
You come along, you spout your views,
You tell me I can't love and marry who I damn well choose
You hide behind some outdated book
And think that church on Sunday somehow gets you off the hook
Well I don't care what you have to say
Your opinion never mattered to me anyway
So sit down and shut up
I hear your bigotry but I don't give a fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu
Fuck around, fuck around, fuck around and find out
Fuck around, fuck around, fuck around and find out
Fuck around, fuck around, fuck around and find out
Fuck around, fuck around, fuck around and find out
Glass houses shouldn't throw stones, if you're gonna push your luck then you're gonna get boned
Glass houses shouldn't throw stones, if you're gonna push your luck then you're gonna get boned
Glass houses shouldn't throw stones, if you're gonna push your luck then you're gonna get boned (fuck around, fuck around, fuck around and find out)
Glass houses shouldn't throw stones, if you're gonna push your luck then you're gonna get boned (fuck around, fuck around, fuck around and find out)
Fuck around, fuck around, fuck around and find out
Fuck around, fuck around, fuck around and find out
Fuck around, fuck around, fuck around and find out
Fuck around, fuck around, fuck around and find out

Rhythm of Life
03:19
|
|||
This is the rhythm of life, the rhythm of stop and go
The rhythm of day and night, of dark and light, of ebb and flow
It's in the pulse of the city and in the breath of the stars
It's in the pull of the sea, the push of the tree, and it's in everything you are
This is the rhythm of life
This is the rhythm of life
This is the rhythm of life, the rhythm of here and now
The rhythm of show and tell, heaven and hell, and the path you plough
It's in the beat of the drum, it's buried deep in your blood
It's all that you need, the leaf and the seed, the place of safety in the flood
This is the rhythm of life
This is the rhythm of life
This is the rhythm of life
This is the rhythm of life
This is the rhythm of life, the rhythm of win and lose
The rhythm of head and heart, of stop and start and the road you choose
It's in the air that you breathe, and in the miles that you run
It's the songs that you sing, the light that you bring, and it's in everyone
This is the rhythm of life
This is the rhythm of life

You Say
03:04
|
|||
You say it's just a game, how can I complain,
The scars are all inside my head
You say I never understand, I watch your sleight of hand
But all I see is black and red
You say... you say...
You say it's all in fun, that I'm the only one,
How could I not believe in you?
You say that it's not real, I don't know how I feel
And everything you say is true
You know I'll never leave, I'll never leave
I know, I'll never be believed, I'll never be believed
You say... You say...
You say no-one will know the lengths that you would go
To demonstrate your love for me

Voodoo Violet
04:16
|
|||
She's under your skin
She's under your skin
Deep in the Banewoods, in the fading light
Mr Kinky's at the door singing four-to-the-floor, ooh girl, I'll keep you up all night
Voodoo Violet's in the bedroom with a, a knife in her hand
When the camera starts to roll she will devour your soul and send you off to neverland
She's under your skin like velveteen and razorblades
Blowing your mind like angel dust and hand grenades
Although she seems cruel, her twisted ethics make some sort of sense
Voodoo Violet, your pain is no defence
Take a tip from an expert, there's nowhere to run
There's hoodoo magic everywhere, it's like a day at the fair, aah you might as well enjoy the fun
Voodoo Violet's on the warpath, you'll break or you'll bend
She'll take a chainsaw to your heart and then she'll rip you apart, but you'll love her til the bitter end
She's under your skin like velveteen and razorblades
Blowing your mind like angel dust and hand grenades
Although she seems cruel, her twisted ethics make some sort of sense
Voodoo Violet, your pain is no defence
She's under your skin like velveteen and razorblades
Blowing your mind like angel dust and hand grenades
Although she seems cruel, her twisted ethics make some sort of sense
Voodoo Violet, your pain is no defence
She's under your skin like velveteen and razorblades
Blowing your mind like angel dust and hand grenades
Although she seems cruel, her twisted ethics make some sort of sense
Voodoo Violet, your pain is no defence

The Sweetest Thing
02:49
|
|||
Your precious heart's the sweetest thing, the sweetest thing
Tear it apart, the perfect dream, the perfect dream
I want you to say my name, want you to give it all to me
Your precious soul's the sweetest thing, the sweetest thing
Swallow it whole, my perfect dream, my perfect dream
Want you to say my name, want you to give it all to me
Want you to scream my name, want you to give it all to me
Want you to cry my name, want you to give it all to me
Want you to scream my name, want you to give it it all to me

Peculiar Little Town
04:42
|
|
||
Just a traveller, a stranger in a strange land
You run out of gas on the edge of town
Everyone's kind, nobody minds lending a helping hand
But you better leave before the sun goes down
The sirens call, the ashes fall in this peculiar little town
The fog descends and sanity ends in this peculiar little town
The sirens call, the ashes fall in this peculiar little town
The fog descends and sanity ends in this peculiar little town
Just a traveller, a soul who took the wrong road
Surrounded by eyes and sharpened smiles
Everything's fine, they invite you to dine with them before you go
You don't need to leave yet, why not stay a while?
The sirens call, the ashes fall in this peculiar little town
The fog descends and sanity ends in this peculiar little town
The sirens call, the ashes fall in this peculiar little town
The fog descends and sanity ends in this peculiar little town
Just a traveller, a stranger passing by
You ran out of gas on the edge of town
Everyone's kind, nobody minds helping you die
Cause you didn't leave before the sun went down
The sirens call, the ashes fall in this peculiar little town
The fog descends and sanity ends in this peculiar little town
The sirens call, the ashes fall in this peculiar little town
The fog descends and sanity ends in this peculiar little town
The sirens call, the ashes fall in this peculiar little town
The fog descends and sanity ends in this peculiar little town
The sirens call, the ashes fall in this peculiar little town
The fog descends and sanity ends in this peculiar little town

Feed Your Disease
03:54
|
|||
See the shadows coil, twisted serpentine
Let me take your fear, turn it into wine
Let me close your eyes, touch your burning skin
Tangled up inside, won't you let me in
I will feed your disease, bring your world to its knees
Take a sip of sin from the poison cup
Let the fever in, let it burn you up
All the words unsaid, let them strip you bare
When you look for me, I'll be everywhere
I will feed your disease, bring your world to its knees
Close your eyes, let me in
Close your eyes, let me in
I will feed your disease, bring your world to its knees
I will feed your disease, bring your world to its knees

Dark Speaks
03:51
|
|||
Shadows hold secrets you might be afraid to hear
We're taught to be scared of the woods, it's safe in the clear
Stand in the light, don't mind if it burns
The stories they tell you, the lessons you've learned
But shadows hold secrets you need to survive, it's the price of life
Dark speaks, when she calls
You can listen, you can run
You can hear or you can hide
You can turn and face the night
In the shadow of the sun
In the end that's just begun
Dark speaks, when she does
The choice is always yours
God knows you've been searching for something you'll never find
The stars cannot guide you here, you always knew deep inside
Stand in the light, watch your flesh peel
Realise you've forgotten what it is to feel
Shadows hold secrets you need to survive, it's the price of life
Dark speaks, when she calls
You can listen, you can run
You can hear or you can hide
You can turn and face the night
In the shadow of the sun
In the end that's just begun
Dark speaks, when she does
The choice is always yours
Dark speaks, when she calls
You can listen, you can run
You can hear or you can hide
You can turn and face the night
In the shadow of the sun
In the end that's just begun
Dark speaks, when she does
The choice is always yours

Smile Baby
03:33
|
|||
How do you like my smile, baby?
A flash in the sun like my daddy's gun
Well I see you there, you don't like to share
How do you like my sunshine, baby?
A nuclear glow with no place to go
Well you nurtured war, now she's at your door
You wanted to have it all, you wanted the stars stripped from the sky
And plastered up on your wall to light up the beggars crawling by
You wanted to have it all, you wanted the earth put up for rent
You wanted to hold it down and make it, make it consent
How do you like my vengeance, baby?
A slap on the wrist with an iron fist
Cause you love to bleed, for the ego feed
How do you like your martyrs, baby?
Down on their knees in your filth and disease
But they'll strip you bare, and then leave you there
You wanted to have it all, you wanted the stars stripped from the sky
And plastered up on your wall to light up the beggars crawling by
You wanted to have it all, you wanted the earth put up for rent
You wanted to hold it down and make it, make it consent
How do you like my sunshine, baby?
How do you like my smile, baby?
How do you like my sunshine, baby?
How do you like my smile, baby?
You wanted to have it all, you wanted the stars stripped from the sky
And plastered up on your wall to light up the beggars crawling by
You wanted to have it all, you wanted the earth put up for rent
You wanted to hold it down and make it, make it consent

Love the Rain
03:06
|
|||
Six years since you went away and left me washed up by the sea
Dream far, dream bigger than you are, is what you said to me
So here I am playing chicken with the universe
Praying it gets better and it doesn't get worse, well
I guess this is the way it's meant to be
Here I stand, facing down the train
No shelter from the storm, so I'll learn to love the rain
If I make my heart a wall, I won't feel the pain
And I'll learn to love the rain, I'll learn to love the rain
You told me I should stand alone and I should only trust myself
Be strong, you don't have to go along with everybody else
So here I am playing poker with the elder gods
Hands tied behind my back while I try to beat the odds
Well isn't this the way it's meant to be
Here I stand, facing down the train
No shelter from the storm, so I'll learn to love the rain
If I make my heart a wall, I won't feel the pain
And I'll learn to love the rain, I'll learn to love the rain
Six years since you went away and left me washed up by the sea
Dream far, dream bigger than you are, is what you said to me
So here I am playing chicken with the universe
Praying it gets better and it doesn't get worse, well
I guess this is the way it's meant to be
