Come back to me if you’re feeling good Come back to me if you’re feeling love It takes a storm to find out where lefts dry Just take a form and fill it out tonight Like attracts like on the astral plain I’ve been up there in an ancient dream So catch a flight when you do depart Just lose your keys but keep your heart Come back to me if you’re feeling bad Come back to me if you’re feeling had It takes a shock to give your life some spark Unpick the lock lift up your blue heart Like attracts like on the astral plain I’ve been up there in an ancient dream So catch a flight when you do depart Just lose your keys but keep your heart

Interstellar Taxi Driver 03:16
lyrics

I transport all peoples souls From one world to another You can call a taxi rank And you can call me brother Through a stargate We will take a single soul or lovers Til we find the perfect place For them to rediscover All the love that they once had For life and one another Sister acts and brotherhoods And fathers and their mothers When we get there we will share Cos our love never stutters We have been the chosen ones The ones who heart a flutters I’m an interstellar taxi driver You may think I’m dead But I’m the last survivor I’m an interstellar taxi driver Come and take a trip In my futuristic glider

Serial 04:22
lyrics

She follows trends, like they’re going out of fashion She’s got no friends, cos she lacks a lot of passion She loves her hair, it’s got no rhyme or reason It follows her, through every single season And when it rains, she leaves the land of living She steals a sigh, and gives what she is giving She cries out loud, my life is unfulfilling She takes her coat, and dreams about a killing Her love she sends, through the television Goes round the bend, And settles on derision She overstares, and should be done for treason Goes on a spree, And copies Liam Neeson And when it rains, she leaves the land of living She steals a sigh, and gives what she is giving She cries out loud, my life is unfulfilling She takes her coat, and dreams about a killing About a killing, about a killing, about a killing And then she tends, to find a bed to crash on Remembers when, to have another session Forgets her cares, her soul begins a freezing Puts on her flares, her Gods she is appeasing And when it rains, she leaves the land of living She steals a sigh, and gives what she is giving She cries out loud, my life is unfulfilling She takes her coat, and dreams about a killing About a killing, about a killing, about a killing

So here’s to oblivion We’ll have a good time Cheers to everyone Its you on my mind Its time for a drink A wise man once said Lets go to the brink And paint this town red We’ll start with the few Light ales we’ve got And after the brews Its time for some shots So we’ll hit the the town And go on the pull Your old wedding gown Is looking quite dull We’ll end in a bar Or clubbin’ with ease A bottle of dog Is thrown in the trees We’ll do it again Because its the best We’ll drink in the east And drink the west I love you oblivion The hangover says Two fingers to you And more to the rest

Fight You Again 02:59
lyrics

On top of the hilltop surrounded by men I’m counting to seven they’re counting to ten The people are hungry again and again And there’s nothing inside you apart from a pen The man he said ugly the man he’s at ten So fold up your worries and concentrate zen A phobia is good to forget all your friends With enemies like these who’ll need them again Could you ever stick all of the jibes And could you ever kick women with knives Could you listen to all of their lies Adrenaline junkies it’s good to survive Have you ever been put in a corner And have you ever had blood on your shoulders Have you ever been down on your knees Well roll up your blindness and roll up your sleeves Now is the moulding of every bad blood It’s time that you orchestrate everything good You have to be better time after time It’s easy to summon your strength from a lie Now I’m at seven and he is at sixes He wishes that he could get out of this fixture Don’t take your eyes off the pity of life Go for the kill and then go get a prize All of the commentaries of all of the men Are not so important they can’t start again It’s what you know now not no what you knew then It’s easy to live if you like killing men Fashion is fast there’s a high price to pay But I know that I’ll come back and get you one day If there’s a reason to carry a tray Well I’ll put your teeth on it and end it today Power is everything power can stay Power can talk it’s way out of affray Keep what you need like your heart and keys Throw everything else that you don’t need away At the end of the day all the cliches are stains On the minds of the purist that’s what left remains It’s all about nothing to you that’s a shame But you know that I’ll come back and fight you again

I’m a star dreamer I’m a star dreamer We’ll go outside Look up to the sky A shooting star Flashes quickly by It took some time To get to where we are But now we’re there I think that we’ll go far I’m a star dreamer This galaxy Will do for you me And what lies next Is interesting to me So shower down Stars and asteroids And raise your arms And listen to the noise
