Karma Mechanic
04:47
|
|||
She’s a carnival ride
She’s the thorn in my side
She’s epidemic
She’s my Queen
I’m the mechanic - Karma!
She’s the train I deride
She’s democratic
The seed of doubt in my mind
Evergreen
I’m the mechanic - Karma!
She’s my borderline prize
On her knees
My pavlovian bride
Melodramatic
I’m the mechanic - Karma!
I’m the mechanic - Karma!

Narcissist
04:58
|
|||
Long distance information - calling me
And even reputations, question me
Bring me the ego ID
This saint is impatient - and wasted
And lost in translation, of his deeds
Bring me the ego ID
The divine translator - is persuading
Relying on frustration, and guarantees
Bring me the ego ID
Bring me the ego ideal

Histrionic!
04:06
|
|||
I’m the tangled Messiah
And I’m standing behind you
In the temple of silence
Painting pictures of you
Histrionic!
I’m the sunset divider
I’m reciprocally violent
And my only requirement?
I get a kick out of you
Histrionic!
The entropic adviser
Your conscience provider
And I’m back in alignment
On the mantle of you
Histrionic!
Will I learn to love you?

One Horse Rider
04:40
|
|||
For those about to die here
Lighten up
And those into survival
Frighten us
Damn this one horse rider
Man traps for stricter diners
Trip me up
Laid back with Sunday drivers
Touching us
Damn this one horse rider
Under belly of our Godiva
Climbing up
Watch the Trojan climb inside her
Wish me luck!
Damn this one horse rider
Damn this one horse ride...

Snakepit
04:23
|
|||
The English maid was cleaning
The halos I’d been stealing
The poor girl was uncertain
She hid behind the curtain
There’s something in the snakepit!
I waited up all evening
For a bird with wings of steel
While scraping innuendo
From the sniper in your window
There’s something in the snakepit!
The man behind the camera
Is climbing up the mountain
He may be your necessity
He captures possibility
There’s something in the snakepit!
He captures possibility

Suicide Engineer
04:45
|
|||
It takes a lady of a certain type
To pull me so far out of line
Like a fairytale I survived
Or a parlour game you may have tried
Here’s looking at you
Suicidal?
I’m your engineer
I have a floral tribute for the bride
Carved in memories, and denial
Complementary, I paid in kind
The ferryman he could have cried
Here’s looking at you
Suicidal?
I’m your engineer
Undecided?
I’m your engineer

The Causal Agent
05:56
|
|||
There’s a devil on my shoulder
And he’s never growing old
There’s an angel in the corner
There’s a God upon the floor
I bleed for you
I sing for you
There’s a silence in my garden
And it’s hanging there a while
Marking out the pages
The controller of the law
I bleed for you
I sing for you
How are you keeping?
How are you sleeping?

Hollow Latitudes
13:27
|
|||
Hands on heads
For the prefetch cavalier
The impatient saint,
The narrator,
The unraveller
Damn the one horse rider
and his English maid,
The causal agent
Dancing in the jaws of madness
This disrespector of latitudes
The suicide engineer
Is tapping on your window
The sniper in the snakepit
The Divine translator
This tangled Messiah?
The grand deceiver?
Or the boy who looked at God?
