A New Way
02:10
|
|||
|
In the tacky depths of the twenty-first century
Amongst the gloriously shining bleakness of the world
Came a feeling of change
Another way
A new way
No longer to accept the prescribed happy compliance
Of eyes glued to the screens bleeding algorythmic hypnosis
To stand again the light
Where flaws can be seen
To give their hands to those who may take them
Never worrying what the machines may say
If self destruction is the price to pay to shine
Then that's what we must do
To open the door on neo1972

If Not Now

When you gonna tell the truth
When you gonna let it loose
When you gonna open up
When you gonna share your heart
When you gonna chase your dreams
Stand up for what you believe
Cross the items off your list
When you gonna take a risk
When you gonna really start
When you gonna share your heart
If not now when you gonna do it
Now, now's the time to do it
When you gonna join the band
When you gonna take their hand
When you gonna fight the wrong
When you gonna wrote your song
When you gonna wear them colours
When you gonna share with others
When you gonna be yourself
When you gonna face the threat
When you gonna let them in
When you gonna play to win
When you gonna really start
When you gonna share your heart
If not now are you ever gonna do
Now, now's the time to do it
If not now are you ever gonna do
Now, now's the time to do it

Open the door on neo-nineteen-seventy-two
The times are much darker but there's one thing I'm here to do
Got my red hair solid as a rock
Cuban heels marching down the block
Dandy flashheart rides again
Here I am
Got a shirt made of lamé and you know that ain’t lame
And my space age lapels are rushing ahead of the game
Bulgy and tough got nothing to fear
Seams of my trousers highly engineered
Dandy flashheart rides again
Here I am
Got a broken brooch that is softly constructed
Got a glitched out visor designed to be highly corrupted
We’re really something, top of the heap
Why spend a fortune when it’s awesome looking cheap
Dandy flashheart rides again
Here I am
It’s an original no need to doubt
It goes a long way to blend me out
Dandy flashheart rides again
Here I am
Dandy flashheart rides again
Here I am
Dandy flashheart rides again
Here I am

We Look Good

Astral pricess glamourphile
Live volcano eyes
You come from glitter heaven
Where mirrors go to die
Each step deserves a fanfare
Each turn makes eyes go wide
Marching to all knowledge
With each balletic stride
The dandies have assembled
The clans are getting feudal
We're quite the cast of characters
Like from the mind of Bruegel
We look so damn good and we love it
Out of bed resplendance
Well curated mess
Each strand has a home
And each home has been blessed
Peacock down the strasse
Show your crystal feathers
Blind the gawping eyes
With your razor luminescence
The gang all meet at midnight
The moon will be the guide
The watching want to join us
And theres no need to hide
We look good and we love it
The family is in chaos
They dont know what its for
But they can take all judgements
And leave them at the door
Some have never tasted
An artful state of being
Oh tis such a pity
That eyes can be unseeing
You can try an sue us
You can serve the summons
But we'll be busy serving looks
Like royal cosmic lovers
The judges wig will fly
The jurys in excitement
The verdict comes down guilty
Of orgy like incitement
We look so fucking good and we love it

Playhouse

Welcome to my playhouse
We're gonna have some fun
We got toys and boys and droids
Something for everyone
And now it's time to play
Here inside my plahouse
We got everything
Question your desires
Those puppets on a string
Tell me what you're into
Tell me what you want
Hide out in the backroom
Or flaunt it out in front
And now it's time to play
Now you're in my playhouse
Part of my machine
You can be the subject
Of another player's dream
Did you think it was that easy
Well nothing comes for free
You're giving something up
When you make a deal with me
And now I'm gonna play

Glam Boot Blues
03:44
|

|
I saw you in the window
Calling out my name
I saw you i nthe window
Calling out my name
But then I saw the price tag
I got the glam boot blues again
Well why not try these ones
But no substitute would do
Why not try these ones
But no substitute would do
I got the glam boot blues
Just like it was in '72
I scrimped and I saved
Just to have you in my life
Sacrificed all luxuries
You would be my pride
When I finally had the money
It was time to claim my prize
The person in the store said "We're out of your size"
I got the glam boot blues
It's a pain like no one knows
Oh the glam boot blues
Should I cut off my toes?

Gold lips, tight trousers
And impractical heels
Moon eyes, dark lashes
purple hair with showing roots
I have to have him
There's not other way
Oh don't deny me
I need his kiss his kiss his kiss
He's like a vision and I want to play
Oh don't deny me of the kiss I need
Weekend He's out
And that's just where I want him
Blue nails, broken and worn off
thoise are hands that I could use
I have to have him
There's not other way
Oh don't deny me
I need his kiss his kiss his kiss
He's like a vision and I want to play
Oh don't deny me of the kiss I need
Take me in the garden
Take my palm, by this palm
A little death
oh how much I've waited for this
I want it now
Give me your kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss oh
Oh kiss me honey
I want your kiss

Friday On A Rocket

Bowie loves ya
I tell myself
As the mirror smiles in approval
Got a sparkle in my eye
But I don't mind
Can spend the next days on glitter removal
The time has come, the time is now
We're gonna have our fun
Even though it's night outside let's jump into the sun
Friday on a rocket
Let's dance out in space
Dancing through the stars
You and me we got it no matter the place
And we're gonna spend our
Friday on a rocket
Your hair looks sweet I tell myself
I think I'm getting jealous
If I screamed how great you are
I think the world would hear us
Oh let's go out, hit the night
They won't know what's coming
We're gonna be the best there is
Forever number one-ing
Friday on a rocket
Let's dance out in space
Dancing through the stars
You and me we got it no matter the place
And we're gonna spend our
Friday on a rocket
Friday on a rocket
Let's dance out in space
Racing through the stars
You and me we got it no matter the place
And we're gonna spend our
Friday on a rocket
Friday on a rocket
Friday on a rocket
Friday on a rocket
Friday on a rocket

Emotion Sickness
06:41
|
|||
|
When I found you on the floor
Blue and cold as night
You didn't share your secret
I know it now
When they gave me back your things
I buried myself in your smell
The floor has disappeared
It swallowed me up as well
Clawing in my dreams
To see your face again
Searching in the sheets
Nights with empty hands
There's no way forwards
There's not way back
No sign of progress
Cause your never coming back
The swell overwhelming
Another crash comes
And so much time went by
And it's still going on
Clawing in my dreams
To see your face again
Searching in the sheets
Nights with empty hands
Where fear joins with panic
That's where I am
Retching on my knees
Emotion sickness again
