Sexy Colony

In a world where money is a man
and a man is white
all night
she dances up on the bar
to relive the third world war
Now Ika feels the sear of the patrons’ stare
highlights to lighten her hair
a pink baby to escape from where
a tall man lurks above the two-stroke air
in this sexy colony, I found the man for me
in this sexy colony, I found the man for me
Budi mixes drinks keeps the place real sharp
a guest list and a clean black car
He works out and snails whiten his face
He speaks the tongue of the raja's race
Budi at the wheel to drive Ika around
and keeps her far from the poor side of town
he buys quotes of inspiration from Steve...
what inspired prized Ika to leave?
in this sexy colony, I found the man for me
in this sexy colony, I found the man for me

So you came to me with the promise of the season
with a glitch in the code of the program of you leavin
we circled every temple that we could still believe in
when the news came out and we couldn’t find a reason
and I tried and I tried and I tried to be a new man
but there are things in this world that aren’t in my hands
we never should have written down what we tasted
and I’m sorry for all the words that I wasted
I never could figure out why we talk about it
cuz I always walked out your door in the same way
I never could see why we walk around it
cuz we always misplaced the faith on the next day
well I wrote you this really hip song yeah
it’s only got two chords the way that you like it
I could fool the crowd but barely myself yeah
so I waste my time when I think about it
I never could figure out why we talk about it
cuz I always walked out your door in the same way
I never could see why we walk around it
cuz we always misplaced the faith on the next day
bridge:
now the wrong notes come with all the frustration
cuz we made our bed in a conversation

Go through the square
down to the dusty scene
you don’t need a shower
just keep your conscience clean
I came to party
down on Willy Street
the eastside is freedom
I like everyone I meet
and up the road
they make the laws for me
if you bring your binders
door revolve magically
every song has a color
every color has a song
still a surprise to me
I can’t get along
Gotta ride on the 18 bus to see
this madtown opportunity
Gotta ride on the 18 bus to see
this madtown opportunity
Gotta ride on the 18 bus to see
this madtown opportunity
go on a mission
rock-climb and redefine the nature hike
with a craft beer vision
island kitchen and a bitchin’ excite bike
…..nevermind the cancers in your blouse
forget the phones you dropped
the pills you popped
the payments on your house
Now do not be alarmed if this charm does not continue
it’s just your temporary early 30’s phase
whether you come from Chicago or a place called Whitefish Bay
for the prize of all your java you’ll be in debt all your days
the groovy life in the good city is waiting for you
the groovy life in the good city is waiting for you
Gotta ride on the 18 bus to see
this madtown opportunity
Gotta ride on the 18 bus to see
this madtown opportunity
Gotta ride on the 18 bus to see
this madtown opportunity
Gotta ride on the 18 bus to see
this madtown opportunity
on my own again
I just can’t wait for payday loans again
shootin’ up and owing money to all my friends
I can’t wait to be on my own again
the groovy life in the good city is waiting for you
the groovy life in the good city is waiting for you

The Day I Cut You Down
05:09

On the day I cut you down
exposed the lonely lie
recouped and we cried
my brother at my side
on the day I took the keys
refused to let you ride
we lit a bonfire
my brother at my side
dreams come back to keep you near
but time runs like a train down here
with sound to keep the vision clear
to rewind
to the day I cut you down
to the day I cut you down
to the day I cut you down
I stand in line with the others now
waiting to get to you somehow
Earth days are lived in black and white
demon chords each deep Earth night

Operator
03:21

we traded in the body
programmed all our sins
drones get in formation
the new world begins
No more operators
We don’t need operators
We hunt for targets
they watch the sky
we change capacitors
and they run and die
broken toys, wasted funds
can’t win the war
I learned to spill innocent blood
and I’ll be back for more
We float on a sea of targets
Phase 1: locate
Phase 2: simulate
Phase 3: exterminate
Phase 4 : replicate
Frequencies modulated
sentiment annihilated
gods dual-oscillated
gas exchange asphyxiated
olive branches antiquated
murder is emasculated
economies war automated
Johnny 5 is hero
we don't need operators

Let me take my time with you tonight
Let me take my time with you tonight
I’ve got nothing left but you tonight
so Let me take my time with you tonight
we’ve waited so long til we were old enough
to find the right one to find the willing one
to find the right one to find the willing one
my folks are gone
the boys have been sent on their way
we’ll drink the cooking sherry we’ll drink the cooking sherry
we’ll drink the cooking sherry we’ll drink the cooking sherry
Let me take my time with you tonight
Let me take my time with you tonight
you said you won’t tell and the end is coming near
but we don’t need to see it in such beautiful lighting
I know it’s frightening, just let it flow, and let me go
organ solo
ah ya ah ee ya (Let me take my time with you tonight)
you said you won’t tell and the end is coming near
but we don’t need to see it in such beautiful lighting
I know it’s frightening, just let it flow, and let me go
then I’ll let you carry me though this year

Gunfighter gunfighter gunfighter you’ve got to live
Gunfighter gunfighter gunfighter you’ve got to live
to see tomorrow to see the end of the day
to see tomorrow to see the end of your way
to know the sorrow of all the lead left unspent
to know tomorrow you’ll see the faces again
come high noon
All you’ve dispatched
those you’ve outmatched
have greater friends than your own
and you have no home
a water walker
and a code talker
they said you should lay low
and stay south of rio
all your heroes lie cold in the ground
all your posse has been chased out of town
now you watch yourself
on cable news feeds
screaming that the world misunderstands your good deeds
and what else can a warrior do?
When what bleeds
leads.
Gunfighter gunfighter gunfighter you’ve got to live
to see tomorrow to see the end of the day
to see tomorrow to see the end of your way
to know the sorrow of all the lead left unspent
to know tomorrow you’ll see the faces again
come high noon
Gunfighter gunfighter gunfighter you’ve got to live (Ad Nauseum)

There was a crash tonight....
he done killed hisself at the wheel..
it's really no big deal
it's really no big deal
in my dreams
this happens every night
the gates come down
we burn the town
and the four of us
go running through the clubs
with our santa hats
with our baseball bats
can't you see
this boredom’s killing me?
just let the rooster free
I only live to score when
lives don’t feel like life anymore, then
lies don’t feel like lies anymore
get on with….
fuckin up New Rome again, fucking up New Rome again,
so glad we're not alone
fuckin up new rome again, fuckin up new rome again
so glad we've found a home
I got my hand upon the lever
we can dump this shit
we can roll with it
we can roll
I smashed the idols of the machine
picked the pieces up, made a monster
gave her orders,
and I told her to
go! stain your hands with the blood of the centurions
go! scorch the lands with the heat of the young ones…
getting on with..…
fucking up new rome again, fuckin up new rome again
so glad we're not alone
fucking up new rome again, fuckin up new rome again
so glad we've found a home
