(In the Middle of My) Love Machine
Should you get caught
In the middle of my love machine
Get out while you can
Before you fall in love with me
I’m a lonely, crazy boy
In search of something to destroy
I can’t wait
And I am so impatient too
I’m on fire;
A furnace when it comes to you
I’m a lonely, crazy boy
In search of something to destroy
I’m a lonely, crazy boy
In search of something to destroy
You are everything I want except mine
You are everything I want except mine
You are everything I want except mine
You are everything I want except mine
Laying in the sun
A garden party, constantly
Laying in the sand
You can’t keep away from me
I’m a lonely, crazy boy
In search of something to destroy
You are everything I want except mine
You are everything I want except mine
You are everything I want except mine
You are everything I want except mine

Memory Retourniquet

Memory Retourniquet
Another memory of mine, still missing
Unwelcome stranger in my head shop-lifted
Potential villain, glass of wine, resistant
A spray of bullets in my mind, amazing
The threat of ruin, so intoxicating
Innocent witness, no more time, drunkenness
The sound, a bitter-bitter tongue to lip kiss
Still codependent on my re-tourniquet
A spray of bullets in my mind, amazing
The threat of ruin, so intoxicating
Me-me-memory-re-re-re-retour-ni-quet
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-re-re-re-retour-ni-quet
Enhanced suppression of my worse condition
The argument, open interpretation
A spray of bullets in my mind, amazing
The threat of ruin, so intoxicating
Me-me-memory-re-re-re-retour-ni-quet
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-re-re-re-retour-ni-quet

Over the Rails

Over the Rails
Stunned all around
Stoned to the ground
I know I’m not the prettiest one,
But it’s time to go down
Covered in sound
Cher and Dionne
I know I’m not the prettiest one,
But it’s time to move on
So how ‘bout we just figure this out
‘Cause we’re doing it wrong
I know that normally
I try to keep you honest
And maybe this time
I’m the one who should get on it
Sometimes I think this is
A battle with no winner,
Only a momentary weakness
With no sinner
Another toke, a stare,
And here I go and do it again
Over the rails
Hot on our tails
I know I’m not the prettiest one
But I don’t always fail
I haven’t felt a feeling this strong
Since before I could tell
I know that normally
I try to keep you honest
And maybe this time
I’m the one who should get on it
Sometimes I think this is
A battle with no winner
Only a momentary weakness
With no sinner
Another toke, a stare,
And here I go and do it again

Wanderlust
I spent the evening simply staring out the window
Tired of dreaming that one day I’ll go out there alone
Get on a boat and head back to the mainland
Hop on a plane and fly back to where I came from
I know you’re not the kind to fall in love
You couldn’t understand the culture of
One day you know, you might change your mind
I get the feeling there’s a devil in the details
A wanderlust and a selection of nude males
I teleport in my mind, I’m at the beach, wow
A tennis court and I’m never gonna leave now
I know you’re not the kind to fall in love
You couldn’t understand the culture of
One day you know, you might change your mind
You never know, I might fall in love
Assimilate into the culture of
Get out of debt and marry a good friend

Lifelike Future You

Lifelike Future You
A particle splash, molecular ray,
A parallel verse, not far away at all
A super loud flash, illogical state,
Emotional weight, provocative frame or fault
Performer industry crawl,
Unhealthy animal, heavy fall, passed its date
Imbalanced argument sprawl,
Double-up, double-draw, double-shake
A separate crime, a separate vine, a separate taste
A delicate time, a delicate wine, a delicate fate
Illegible lines, super tight signs, treble-like rain
Hollowed out, just a shell of a soul,
In a constant, throbbing change
Deliberate crash, angled to pass,
Eager to sway, an elegant force in the way
Typical flare, typical black,
Leather red mask, all out to dance city
A separate crime, a separate vine, a separate fate
A delicate time, a delicate wine, a delicate taste
Illegible lines, super tight signs, treble-like rain
Hollowed out, just a shell of a soul,
In a constant, driving change
Limelight so diffuse
Wired, no more untrue
Time, steady on cue
Lifelike future you
Lifelike future you
A separate crime, a separate vine, a separate fate
A delicate time, a delicate wine, a delicate taste
Illegible lines, super tight signs, treble-like rain
Hollowed out, just a shell of a soul,
In a constant, driving change

Capricho Viral

Capricho Viral
Si lo menosprecia
Si lo trata así
Ofreciendo tanta
Crítica volátil
Se nos viene encima
El capricho viral
Seguimos dando vueltas
En un espiral
Se lo merece. Se lo merece
Arráncale ya
Se lo merece. Se lo merece
Abandónale ya
Casi que nunca falla
Ese vicio inicial
Ese rito diario
De igual voluntad
Siempre anda de noche
Siempre anda detrás
Se tropieza la gente
En su honestidad
Se lo merece. Se lo merece
Arráncale ya
Se lo merece. Se lo merece
Abandónale ya
Se lo merece. Se lo merece
Arráncale ya
Se lo merece. Se lo merece
Abandónale ya

Sex on the Beach
Hold while I shake
Hold while I shake
Hold while I shake
I’m still brand new
Sex on the beach
Sex on the brain
Sex on the plane
Amounting to…
I’m not insane
You’re not insane
We’re not insane
It’s what we do
Honey, would you please back up
I think I might explode
Get me a name
Get me some fame
Get me well trained
Get me in tune
I’m not the same
You’re not the same
We’re not the same
As what we do
Honey, would you please back up
I think I might explode
I think I want it
I think I want it now
I think I want it
I think I need it now

Magic Wand
I wake up and I go to work
I wake up and I go to work
And some days I don’t feel I can control my style
I like to get up in your face
I like to get up in your face
But I can keep my distance if you’re not so wild
Now let’s all lock into the groove
Now let’s all lock into the groove
Some things we shouldn’t do with out a magic wand
Why are you so scared of my politic?
Why are you so scared of my politic?
I’m off to cross that line again
I’m off to cross that line again
I never shy away from volatile debate
My mouth will not control itself
My mouth will not control itself
My mind is at the wheel and it will drive all night
In theory, you may find me vague
In theory, you may find me vague
But one thing I will say is you may change your mind
Why are you so scared of my politic?
Why are you so scared of my politic?
And when we dress up like a party band
And take a field trip with our hands
Cerebral bodies in a cargo van
An open ocean with no sign of land

I'm Not Your Enemy

I’m Not Your Enemy
Say what you need to say, whisper it softly
Traded your man away for a martini
And at the end of the night you’ll never get him back
Ever the optimist, how has he trained you?
Does he protect you from his bouts of weakness?
And at the end of the night does he still have your back?
You’re too on top of the other one half of the time
I’m not your enemy but still you hate that
I did some things for me and don’t regret that
And at the end of the night I still sleep all alone
You’re too on top of the other one half of the time
We’re too on top of the other one half of the time

I Miss the Heat of the Sun
As I trip forward to the end of time
Double flip over when I get excited
Everything I choose
It’s like my ego only wants what’s best for you
Everything I do turns out to be
The thing my ego wanted too
I miss the heat of the sun
Metamorphosing all of my heart through
Savoring the time when I adored you
Paralyzing everything that I do
I could strike, throw a punch though I could hardly land it
Pick a fight, when my ego can no longer stand it
Everything I do,
It’s like my ego only wants what’s best for you
I miss the heat of the sun
Metamorphosing all of my heart through
Savoring the time when I adored you
Hanging back, the sun still beaming towards you
Paralyzing everything that I do
You’re not the only one that I can’t lie to
You’re not the only one that I can’t lie to…
