1. Stacked Actors


Oh mirror mirror, you´re coming in clear
I´m finally somewhere in between
I´m impressed, what a beautiful chest
I never meant to make a big scene
Will you resign to the latest design
You look so messy when you dress up in dreams
One more for hire, a wonderful liar
I think it´s time we all should come clean
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards all I want is the truth
Hey, hey now, can you fake it
Can you make it look like we want
Hey, hey now, can you take it
And we cry when they all die blonde
God bless, what a sensitive mess
Yeah, but things aren´t always what they seem
Your teary eyes, your famous disguise
Never knowing who to believe
See through, yeah but what do you do
When you´re just another aging drag queen
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards all I want is the truth
Hey, hey now, can you fake it
Can you make it look like we want
Hey hey now, can you take it
And we cry when they all die blonde
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up all the bastards all I want is the truth
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up all the bastards and we cry when they all die blonde
Hey, hey now, can you fake it
Can you make it look like we want
Hey, hey now, can you take it
And we cry when they all die blonde
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up all the bastards all I want is the truth
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards
Cry when they all die blonde



2. Breakout


You make me dizzy running circles in my head
One of these days I´ll chase you down
Well look who´s going crazy now
We´re face to face my friend
Better get out
Better get out
You know you make me break out
Make me break out
I don’t want to look like that
I don’t want to look like that
You know you make me break out
Make me break out
I don’t want to look like that
I don’t want to look like that
You know you make me break out
You can see this on my face
It´s all for you
The more and more I take
I break right through
Therapy still scares me
Putting me on my back again
I may be crazy, little frayed around the ends
One of these days I´ll phase you out
Burn it in the blast off
Burn it in the blast off
Watching me crawl away
Try to get out
Try to get out
You know you make me break out
Make me break out
I don’t want to look like that
I don’t want to look like that
You know you make me break out
Make me break out
I don’t want to look like that
I don’t want to look like that
Yeah
I don’t want to look like that
Break out
Break out
Break out
Break out
Go, go, go
You know you make me break out
Make me break out
I don’t want to look like that
I don’t want to look like that
You know you make me break out
Make me break out
I don’t want to look like that
I don’t want to look like that
Yeah
I don’t want to look like that
I don’t want to look like that
You know you make me break out
Make me break out
Make me break out
Yeah



3. Learn To Fly


un and tell all of the angels
This could take all night
Think I need a devil to help me get things right
Hook me up a new revolution
Cause this one is a lie
We sat around laughing and watched the last one die
I´m looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I´m looking for a complication
Looking cause I´m tired of lying
Make my way back home when I learn to fly
I think I´m done nursing the patience
I can wait one night
I´d give it all away if you give me one last try
We´ll live happily ever trapped if you just save my life
Run and tell the angels that everything is alright
I´m looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I´m looking for a complication
Looking cause I´m tired of trying
Make my way back home when I learn to fly
Make my way back home when I learn to
Fly along with me, I can´t quite make it alone
Try and make this life my own
Fly along with me, I can´t quite make it alone
Try and make this life my own
I´m looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I´m looking for a complication
Looking cause I´m tired of trying
Make my way back home when I learn to
I´m looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I´m looking for a complication
Looking cause I´m tired of trying
Make my way back home when I learn to fly
Make my way back home when I learn to fly
Make my way back home when I learn to, learn to, learn to…



4. Gimme Stitches


I can be your right of way
So we can get out of here
I´ll always be the one who runs from everyone
Cause everyone´s just too weird
Sink with someone tied to me
I´m making you volunteer
Another one has come and gone
They crawl along, make them disappear
Dress me up in stitches it´s now or never
Tired of wearing black and blue
Dress me up in stitches it´s now or never
Dying to get my blood on you
Blood on you
Take another stab at me, I promise in time I´ll heal
But yesterday went on and on a bit too long
I waited out on High Street
There´s nothing to find out here
Another day has come and gone
They crawl along, wasting all these years
Dress me up in stitches it´s now or never
Tired of wearing black and blue
Dress me up in stitches it´s now or never
Dying to get my blood on you
How can you go on when you´re murdering someone
Killing me like you do
Gimme stitches now or never
Blood on you
Dress me up in stitches it´s now or never
Tired of wearing black and blue
Dress me up in stitches it´s now or never
Dying to get my blood on you
How can you go on when you´re murdering someone
Killing me like you do
Gimme stitches now or never
Blood on you
Blood on you



5. Generator


Lately I´m getting better
Wish I could stay sick with you
But there´s too many egos left to bruise
Call it sin, you can call it whatever
Eating deep inside of you
Well if it were me, it´s all I´d ever do
Steal me now and forever
I´ll steal something good for you
The criminal in me is no one new
Till you find something better
When there´s nothing left to use
And everything starts going down on you
I´m the Generator, firing whenever you quit
Yeah whatever it is, you go out and it´s on
Yeah can´t you hear my motored heart
You´re the one that started it
Send me out on a tether
Swing it round, I´ll spin your noose
You let it down
I´ll hang around with you
Till you find someone better
When there´s no one left to use
And everyone keeps going down
I´m the Generator, firing whenever you quit
Yeah whatever it is, you go out and it´s on
Yeah can´t you hear my motored heart
You´re the one that started it
I´m the Generator, firing whenever you quit
Yeah whatever it is, you go out and it´s on
Yeah can´t you hear my motored heart
You´re the one that started it

I’m the Generator

Yeah can’t you hear my motored heart
You’re the one that started it



6. Aurora


You believe there´s something else
To relieve your emptiness
And you dream about yourself
And you bleed and breathe the air
And it´s on and on and on and on
I just kinda died for you
You just kinda stared at me
We will always have the chance
We can do this one more time
Hell yeah, I remember aurora
Hell yeah, I remember aurora
All this time
Hell yeah, I remember aurora
Take me now, we can spin the sun around
And the stars will all come out
Then we´ll turn and come back down
Turn and come back down
You believe there´s somewhere else
Where it´s easier than this
And you see outside yourself
And you buy the hole you´ll fill
And it´s on and on and on and on
Hell yeah, I remember aurora
Hell yeah, I remember aurora
All this time
Hell yeah, I remember aurora
Take me now, we can spin the sun around
And the stars will all come out
Then we´ll turn and come back down
Turn and come back down
On and on and on aurora wait for everyone
Wait till the last one´s done
On and on and on aurora wait for everyone
Wait till the last one´s done
Take me now, we can spin the sun around
And the stars will all come out
Then we´ll turn and come back down
On and on and on and on and on



7. Live-In Skin


Take your payroll
And your lottery
There´s a place I know
There´s a robbery
And I swear I´ll never tell
If you swear you´ll never tell
And we´ll all make out so well
We will all make out so well
Head on with my hate
Into the lights ahead
I´m amazed that I´m still standing
And I demand that we all blend in
I´m amounted
Just the same old
Glitter story
From the sea floor
Metamorphosis
And I can´t change back for you
I will not change back for you
I must live in skin that´s new
I´m a livid skin that´s new
Head on with my hate
Into the lights ahead
I´m amazed that I´m still standing
And I demand that we all blend in
Head on with my hate
Into the lights ahead
I´m amazed that I´m still standing
And I demand that we all blend in
I’m amounted
Turn your insides out to the outside
Turn the outside in to the inside
Trade your outside in for the inside
Turn it around again
Turn your insides out to the outside
Turn the outside in to the inside
Trade your outside in for the inside
Turn it around again
I’m amounted
And I can´t change back for you
I will not change back for you
I’m amounted



8. Next Year


I´m in the sky tonight
There I can keep by your side
Watching the wide world riot and hiding out
I´ll be coming home next year
Into the sun we climb
Climbing our wings will burn white
Everyone strapped in tight
We´ll ride it out
I´ll be coming home next year
Come on get on get on
Take it till life runs out
No one can find us now
Living with our heads underground
Into the night we shine
Lighting the way we glide by
Catch me if I get too high
If I come down
I´ll be coming home next year
I´m in the sky tonight
There I can keep by your side
Watching the whole world wind around and round
I´ll be coming home next year
Come on get on get on
Take it till life runs out
No one can find us now
Living with our heads underground
I’ll be coming home next year
I´ll be coming home next year
Everything´s alright up here
If I come down
I´ll be coming home next year
Say good-bye now
I’ll be coming home next year
I’ll be coming home next year
Everything´s alright up here
If I come down
I’ll be coming home next yea



9. Headwires


Have you been headwired
Were you satisfied
Did it free the feelings in your spine
Sleeping way inside all this time
Will you meet your mind where the night collides
Will you greet yourself when the sun arrives
I´ll just stay behind, I´ve met mine
Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires now
Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires
Headwires now
Help you feed the wires when your head unwinds
And if our headlines become entwined
You can have all mine, I´ll be fine
There´s a reason why keeping me alive
There´s a cure in me that I wish were mine
As long as I can fight, I´ll survive
Tangled in your headwires now
Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires
Stationed on the wire, one day I´ll let go
Tell them all hello
Tell them all hello
Stationed on the wire, one day I´ll let go
Tell them all hello
Tell them all hello
The sun is on Arlandria
The sun is on Arlandria, headwires
The sun is on Arlandria
The sun is on Arlandria, headwires
The sun is on Arlandria
The sun is on Arlandria, headwires



10. Ain´t It the Life


Dear Haley
Can you save me from the borrowed cloud I´m on
All you gotta do is try
Pray you´re just getting by
Hey wait I thought you´d made it
How´d your bottled crown fall off
Tell me how´d you get so tired
Faded down to the wire
Try living a lie and kicking out the same old guise
Wasting time
So very ordinary
Wait until my bomb goes off
See the actors run and hide
Fake it all in stride
One day we all can say we´re gone
And haunt the ground we´re from
Everything´s so open wide
Here within the divide
Try living a lie and kicking out the same old guise
Wasting time
Ain’t it the life
Ain’t it the life
Ain’t it the life
Got no crime
Just sail on by
Sail on by
Ain’t it the life
Ain’t it the life
Ain’t it the life
Got no crime
Just sail on by
Sail on by
Ain’t it the life
Just sail on by
Try living a lie and kicking out the same old guise
Wasting time
Ain’t it the life
Ain’t it the life
Ain’t it the life
Got no crime
Just sail on by
Sail on by
Ain’t it the life
Ain’t it the life
Ain’t it the life
Got no crime
Just sail on by
Sail on by
Ain’t it the life
Ain’t it the life



11. M.I.A.


Call and I´ll answer at home in the lost and found
You say that I´m much too proud
Someone who´s taking pleasure in breaking down
Nevermind the mannequins, drunk in their hollow town
Drinking their spoils down, cheap imitations
The revelation is now
You wont find me I´m going MIA
Tonight I´m leaving going MIA
Getting lost in you again is better than being numb
Counting every minute till the feeling comes crashing down
Run when it hit´s the ground
I´m good at escaping
But better at flaking out
Calling unanswered the center becomes blown out
Stuck on the inside now
It´s fear I´m embracing
I never could face you down
You wont find me I´m going MIA
Tonight I´m leaving going MIA
Getting lost in you again is better than being numb
Red, red, laced around your head
Cold and rescued
Call and I´ll answer at home in the lost and found
You say that I´m much too proud
Someone who´s taking pleasure in breaking down
You wont find me I´m going MIA
Tonight I´m leaving going MIA
So you don´t find me I´m going MIA
Tonight I´m leaving going MIA
Say good-bye to me I´m going MIA
I can find relief I´m going MIA
Getting lost in you again is better than being numb
Better than being numb
Better than playing dumb
