in the next world war
in a jackknifed juggernaut
i am born again
in the neon sign
scrolling up and down
i am born again
an airbag saved my life
in an intastellar burst
i am back to save the universe
in a deep deep sleep of the innocent
i am born again
in a fast german car
i'm amazed that I survived
an airbag saved my life
in an interstellar burst
i am back to save the universe
in an interstellar burst
i am back to save the universe

please could you stop the noise i'm trying to get some rest
from all the unborn chicken voices in my head

what's there
what's there

when i am king you will be first against the wall
with your opinion which is of no consequence at all

what's there
what's there

ambition makes you look pretty ugly
kicking squealing gucci little piggy
you don't remember
you don't remember
why don't you remember my name

off with his head
off with his head
why don't you remember my name
i guess he does

rain down
rain down
come on rain down
on me

from a great height
from a great height
height
height
that's it sir
you're leaving
the crackle of pig skin
the dust and the screaming
the yuppies networking
the panic, the vomit
the panic, the vomit
god loves his children
God loves his children yeah!
  

the breath of the morning
i keep forgetting
the smell of the warm summer air
i live in a town where you can't smell a thing
you watch your feet for cracks in the pavement
up above aliens hover making home movies for the folks back home
of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits
drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets

they're all uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight

i wish that they'd swoop down in the country lane
late at night when i'm driving
take me onboard their beautiful ship
show me the weird world as i'd love to see it
i'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me
they'd think that i'd finally lost it completely
i'd show them the stars and the meaning of life they'd shut me away but i'll be all right all right

I'm just uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
 

Wake from your sleep
The drying of your tears,
today we escape, we escape

Pack and get dressed,
before your father hears us,
before, all hell breaks loose

Breathe, keep breathing,
don't lose your nerve,
breathe, keep breathing
I can't do this alone

Sing us a song,
a song to keep us warm,
there's such a chill,
such a chill

You can laugh a spineless laugh
We hope your rules and wisdom choke you
Now we are one in everlasting peace

We hope that you choke, that you choke
We hope that you choke, that you choke
We hope that you choke, that you choke

Transport, motorways and tram lines
Starting and then stopping, taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings disappointed people clinging onto bottles and
When it comes its so so disappointing

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Shell smashed, juices flowing wings twitch, legs are going
Don't get sentimental, it always ends up drivel
One day I'm going to grow wings
A chemical reaction, hysterical and useless hysterical and
Let down and hanging around

Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
let down again

You know,
you know where you are with
you, know where you are
With floor collapses floating, bouncing back and one day
I am gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction,
hysterical and useless
hysterical and
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

karma police
arrest this man
he talks in maths,
he buzzes like a fridge
he's like a detuned radio

karma police
arrest this girl,
her hitler hairdo,
is making me feel ill,
and we have crashed her party

this is what you get
this is what you get
this is what you get
when you mess with us

karma police
i've given all i can
it's not enough
i've given all i can
but we're still on the payroll

this is what you get
this is what you get
this is what you get
when you mess with us

phew for a minute there
i lost myself
i lost myself
phew for a minute there
i lost myself
i lost myself
i lost myself
i lost myself
i lost myself
i lost myself.

a pig
in a cage
on antibiotics

i will stop
i will stop at nothing
say the right things
when electioneering
i trust i can rely on your vote
when i go forwards, you go backwards
somewhere we will meet
riot shields
voodoo economics
it's just business
cattle prods and the imf
i trust i can rely on your vote
when i go forwards, you go backwards
somewhere we will meet

i am the key to the lock in your house
that keeps your toys in the basement
and if you get too far inside
you'll only see my reflection
it's always best when you cry in his arms
i am the pick in the ice
do not cry out or hit the alarm
you know we're friends till we die
and either way you turn
i'll be there
open up your skull
i'll be there
climbing up the walls
it's always best when the light is off, it's always better on the outside
fifteen blows to the back of your head
fifteen blows to your mind
so lock the kids up safe tonight
shut the eyes in the cupboard
i got the smell of a local man
who's got the lonliest feeling
that either way he turns
i'll be there
open up your skull
i'll be there
climbing up the walls
climbing up the walls

a heart that's full up like a landfill
a job that slowly kills you
bruises that won't heal
you were so tired, happy, bring down the government
they don't, they don't speak for us
i'll take the quiet life
a handshake of carbon monoxide
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises* silent
silent
this is my final fit
my final bellyache with no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises please
such a pretty house
such a pretty garden
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises please

i'm on a roll
i'm on a roll
this time, i feel my luck could change

kill me sarah
kill me again
with love
It's gonna be a glorious day

pull me out of the aircrash
pull me out of the lake
cause i'm your superhero
we are standing on the edge

the head of state has called for me by name
but i don't have time for him
it's gonna be a glorius day
i feel my luck could change

pull me out of the aircrash
pull me out of the lake
cause i'm your superhero
v we are standing on the edge
we are standing on the edge
