The hyena sleeps, they're inside a dream
yet they wag their tail - it's like a machine
hyena, do you hear my wish?
I don't want you to stay like this
But sometimes things don't work out the way you would want them to, no
(living in a soft dream)
It makes sense for them in a world so big
to turn off, tune out, find another gig
that fits their specific needs
Beneath the fur the dream proceeds
I never ever thought about dying so often before
The hyena whimpers in their sleep
get a glimpse of fears that run so deep
that it might be their end
a condition they can't comprehend
the years that passed us by make themselves known more and more
the things that mattered most, they are all getting lost in the war
the hyena smiles, it's all a dream
they know that nothing there is real

2 Tickets to paradise
take a little breather now that we've seen her again
it might surprise you how much I need you
we're walking in the dark, we're headed for the blue
I'm gonna buy some things, some things for me and for you
let's get some cigarettes, let's get some alcohol
another bag of chips, the blue, the blue, the blue
-a dream come true
a sparkle in the dark
a flash in the distance drawing your eyes to the sky
we've got the high ground, restless and unbound
a night like any other
a secret to uncover
this most refreshing color
our eyes can see
we're walking in the dark, we're headed for the blue
I'm gonna buy some things, some things for me and for you
let's get some cigarettes, let's get some alcohol
another bag of chips
it's just the 2 of us, don't care 'bout anyone else
forget my failing health, don't care about what's his face?
this is the end of the road, there is no hope for you
we cannot crack the code, the blue, the blue, the blue

Take the L-Train, no place like home
given free rein inside the aerodrome
I know I'm scaring people off
but why, I've already gone way too soft
lots of people don't want me around
no doubt because I always bring them down
of course it couldn't hurt to try
to part with my delusions, bye-bye
eat my maccheroni fist
strong opinions, let them be heard
heard by people all over the world
a tale as old as time itself
we're doomed and it's too late to get help

Bye-bye Gemini
02:48
|

so there I was, oh my, alone and forgotten about
I wasn't sure how to respond other than to black out
bye-bye, before I knew it they were already gone
gemini, from this point on I dream alone
so here I go again and nothing ever goes as planned
and yet I persevere because my whining is in low demand
bye-bye, I'm at your doorstep but there's nobody home
gemini, from this point on I dream alone
all I know is that I want you back in my life

find the center of your soul
now move as far away as you can
to be stuck inside a mall
makes you regret being born again
your daily dose of wonder
prepare to have your mind blown
it makes a noise like thunder
that's heard by only you alone
soothing and calm, the light so bright and clear
I can't describe the joy it gives me
dropping the bomb, the ground is shaking
this place has just ceased to be
when you're lost inside these halls
just turn your life around completely
a girl that lives inside the walls
the parts that fit together neatly
a vicious rollercoaster
prepare for action, get in line
the end is getting closer
I'm not depressed, i'm feeling fine

Aah Ooh
02:43
|

drink from the well of held back tears
it kills me
look at me, perplexed and mystified and shout:
aah and ooh
aah and ooh and aah
pause and try to take it all in
what's happening?
what's the matter, what is wrong with them?

Heisei Princess
03:38
|

|
was thrown into this labyrinth, been running in circles ever since
if I could do it all again, everything would turn out the same
still would have no money, still would have no time
I can't do things just by myself, sometimes I need a little help
some of the boys just stare and shrug, can't fault them for not giving a fuck
they don't have the patience, they would rather die
than give the heisei princess, give her the time of day
I don't have the money, I don't have the time

it took you forever to really get to know them
it was through no fault of your own
they simply felt completely numb
the expression on their face reflects how you feel about this place
vacillate between hope and despair
just leave and find your luck elsewhere
a moment of self reflection here at le bazar
stop fooling around and clean yourself up
get your shit together
you know very well that you're pushing your luck
nothing lasts forever
you can feel their gaze on you, they're peeking into your brain
they can't accept their fate, the role they play, so mundane

Nice Place (Bonus Track)
03:05

this is a nice place
you've got all your things and your chair
and you feel safe inside
you got a great face
you got pretty skin and shiny hair
and that sparkle in your eyes
haven't you heard the news?
this whole thing is going to hell
so get out while you still can
it's dangerous to go alone
I will always be by your side
so we can escape genocide
this is a warm light
enveloping my body, making me feel so alive
this is not the time to fight
we have to hurry the fuck up
so that we can survive
this, this is the place/ such a nice place

I'm doing something else, doing something else
and though I'd love to see your face
I'm still doing something else
I thought it'd be okay
you gave me the thumbs up
even though life is tough
and everything's fucked up
'is this not what you wanted, what you wanted?'
I keep asking myself
my stupid mind is haunted, mind is haunted
and I'm calling for help
this feeling's kinda strange, feeling's kinda strange
you say I seem deranged
oh, how things have changed
I'm going through the motions as if I was in control
though it looks like I'm moving closer to my goal
I'm doing something, I'm doing something else

Pity Party (Bonus Track)
02:02
|

|
you won't see me
at the golden place
lost my ability
to find true happiness
who am I?
I am nobody
I will die as I have lived
on the edge of getting somewhere
and then failing to progress
I just know that nothing's gonna change
nothing means anything
I move from a to b
stare at the ceiling
the point I fail to see
all the things I deemed important
I have thrown into the trash
It's just me, a useless mutant
do I deserve this? yeah, I guess
I just know that they think so too
everybody who once knew me
they don't think of me at all
in fact they're actually quite happy
they can no longer recall
I just know that I'd be happy too
In my dreams they're smiling at me
and they're stretching out their hands
I am loved and I am welcome
and I got a second chance
I just know this could never be reality
|
||||
15. |

sometimes I wish I could fly away
like Elvis, shooting towards the sky and you say I could crash any day
intense emotion washes over me
I'm inbetween worlds
flowing from one state to the next
a change has just occured
an unexpected success
it doesn't matter where we go
though it's good to know that
we can still try and break out and leave this place
