+Lyrics: |-
+    Fell in love with the girl
+    With the ash in her eyes
+    Of the weight of the world
+    And her government ties
+
+    Well I'm down on my knees
+    And I'm kissing her calves
+    In the land of the free
+    Because she's all that I have
+
+    Bombs away
+    Look out below
+    Ready or not
+    We're ready to go
+    Oh-oh-oh!
+
+    Bombs away
+    Look out below
+    Ready or not
+    We're ready to go
+
+    Fell apart at the touch
+    Of the girl in the jet
+    She was pulling the clutch
+    I was breaking a sweat
+
+    Well she painted my face
+    With the blood on her heels
+    I could not walk away
+    Because it's all that I feel
+
+    Bombs away
+    Look out below
+    Ready or not
+    We're ready to go
+    (We're ready to go) Oh-oh-oh!
+
+    Bombs away
+    Look out below
+    Ready or not
+    We're ready to go
+
+    Bombs away (Bombs away)
+    Look out below (Look out below)
+    Ready or not (Ready or not)
+    We're ready to go (We're ready to go)
+
+    Fell into the abyss
+    And I never got out
+    She was blowing a kiss
+    I dissolved in a cloud
+
+    At the top of the hill
+    With the plane in the sky
+    When she went for the kill
+    I was ready to die
+
+    Bombs away
+    Look out below
+    Ready or not
+    We're ready to go
+    Oh-oh-oh!
+

+Lyrics: |-
+    Stand back, I'm a criminal mind
+    I keep running, and I feel just fine
+    Don't stop when they're reading my rights
+    You won't see me when you turn on the lights
+
+    I'm always moving, 'cause the city's so restless
+    I keep my eyes open when I'm asleep
+    I only take what can fit in my pockets
+    I drop it all if I feel the heat
+
+    Ooh, it's a slippery road
+    Where the people are liquid and ice
+    Ooh, it's a poisonous world
+    Where the pleasures all come at a price
+
+    Stand back, I'm a criminal mind
+    I keep running, and I feel just fine
+    Don't stop when they're reading my rights
+    You won't see me when you turn on the lights
+
+    I walk tall, but I keep a small footprint
+    I never call from a telephone twice (Hello?)
+    I keep a stash in every city I've been in
+    I'll take a trip if the weather is nice
+
+    Ooh, it's the sweat from your hands on the dial
+    When you're cracking the safe
+    Ooh, it's the part of the plan where you walk
+    And you don't leave a trace
+
+    Stand back, I'm a criminal mind
+    I keep running, and I feel just fine
+    Don't stop when they're reading my rights
+    You won't see me when you turn on the lights
+
+    I'm a criminal mind
+    I'm stepping over the line
+    Watch out!
+
+    Stand back, I'm a criminal mind
+    I keep running, and I feel just fine
+    Don't stop when they're reading my rights

+Lyrics: |-
+    You're paranoid from the waist down
+    You're paralyzed with the ways you waste your time
+    You want to move, but you just mime
+    And you get nowhere
+
+    You pack it in for the weekend
+    You pick it up and you move in a straight line
+    And you say you're just fine
+    When there's no one there
+
+    I could fall in love
+    Fall in love with a girl like you
+    I could change my life
+    If you want me to
+
+    I would give it all
+    Give it all for a night like that
+    If it's what you like
+    If you loved me back
+
+    You put it off for a long time
+    You put the next episode on your TV
+    And you think about leaving
+    But you're not so sure
+
+    You hear a sound out the window
+    You aren't sure what the band is playing
+    Or the words they're saying
+    While you lock the door
+
+    I could fall in love
+    Fall in love with a girl like you
+    I could change my life
+    If you want me to
+
+    I would give it all
+    Give it all for a night like that
+    If it's what you like
+    If you loved me back
+
+    If you loved me back, if you loved me back
+    What would life be like if you'd just do that?
+    Take ahold of what's inside
+    Your broken heart
+
+    If you took my hand, if you took my hand
+    Would it be so hard to understand
+    How the world was before
+    It fell apart
+    When it all seemed new
+    For a girl like you
+
+    I could fall in love
+    Fall in love with a girl like you
+    I could change my life
+    If you want me to
+
+    I would give it all
+    Give it all for a night like that
+    If it's what you like
+    If you loved me back

+    I could fall in love
+    Fall in love with a girl like you—
+    I could fall in love

+    I've been pulling favors out of privileged hands
+    I've been taking credit where the credit's due
+    Stole the name of someone from a foreign land
+    You're the only one I've ever told this to
+
+    Gave away the total sum of who I was to now become
+    The man who stands before your eyes today
+    Living in the limelight of a fancy turned to full-time bluff
+    Still waiting for the sting of my disgrace
+
+    I stole my identity from another man who looks like me
+    And I don't know what he knows (I don't know what he knows)
+    But I know he knows my name (I know he knows my name)
+    And I have myself to blame (I have myself to blame)
+    Do you think he's in here now? (Do you think he's in here now?)
+    Do you see him in the mirror? (Do you see him in the mirror?)
+    Do you think he knows I'm here?
+
+    I've been filching francs from banks in Switzerland
+    I've been cashing traveller's checks in Cameroon
+    Drank at the Mirage and dried up at the Sands
+    Never thought of what this might be coming to
+
+    Thought for sure that he was dead and I might take his place instead
+    Become the man I always wished to be
+    Never knew the men he killed or asked how all the vaults were filled
+    But now I fear he's finally come for me
+
+    I stole my identity from another man who looks like me
+    And I don't know what he knows (I don't know what he knows)
+    But I know he knows my name (I know he knows my name)
+    And I have myself to blame (I have myself to blame)
+    I can hear him coming now (I hear him coming now)
+    I can feel him in the air (I feel him in the air)
+    And I know he knows I'm there
+
+    I stole my identity from another man who looks like me
+    And I know that I will not go free
+    'Cause there's only room for one, you see
+
+    And I don't know what he knows (I don't know what he knows)
+    But I know he knows my name (I know he knows my name)
+    And I have myself to blame (I have myself to blame)
+    I can taste his bullet now (I taste his bullet now)
+    I can smell his blood-soaked hands (I smell his blood-soaked hands)
+    I could not forget this man (I can't forget this man)
+
+    I am trying to escape (I'm trying to escape)
+    But there's nowhere left to run (There's nowhere left to run)
+    For I know now what I've done (I know now what I've done)

+    There's a moment yet to come
+    When we'll learn to live as one
+    Every second in the sun
+    Will be wonderful
+
+    Spoke the poet and the priest
+    "They will rise among the least"
+    It was wisdom from the east
+    Kept you comfortable
+
+    Now the highs are looking low
+    For the people that you know
+    Selling tickets to the show
+    That never opened up
+
+    For today you're not so sure
+    What you're really waiting for
+    With your face slammed in the door
+    Of Utopia
+
+    There was time enough at last
+    You discarded all the past
+    We remolded in the cast
+    Of our victory
+
+    With the future full of light
+    We would rage against the night
+    Ever certain of the right
+    Side of history
+
+    Now the skies are looking gray
+    For the weary castaway
+    Feel the waters of the bay
+    Crashing over ya
+
+    While you wander like a ghost
+    With the ones you missed the most
+    When you washed upon the coast
+    Of Utopia
+
+    Time wasted
+    I've tasted
+    One too many tongues in my life
+
+    Ideals
+    So real
+    One push and we fall on the knife
+
+    Love is not enough for you
+    It's a point of view
+    It's a program
+
+    Years in the dark are alright
+    And you won't catch the sight
+    Of your own sham

+Lyrics: |-
+    I know it's just a game we're playing
+    But when you walk away, I wish that you were staying
+    It's a crazy thing to do, getting all caught up in you
+    When I'm not so sure I still contain the room within my heart
+    To put away the pieces when we circle back to start
+
+    It's always easy when we're joking
+    Act like we're little kids, but really we are growing
+    At the ending of the day, when we're out of things to say
+    Would you tell me you were happy just to be here when we part
+    And we wouldn't have to wonder when we'd circle back to start
+
+    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
+    We're going around and round
+    Round and round
+
+    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
+    We're going around and round
+    Round and round
+
+    And when I see you in the evening
+    I'll walk beside you because I am also leaving
+    There's a pause before we do, like you very nearly knew
+    What the looks on both our faces were betraying in the dark
+    While the actors take their places and we circle back to start
+
+    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
+    We're going around and round
+    Round and round
+
+    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
+    We're going around and round
+    Round and round

 Context Notes: |-
     Entries for tracks by Bill Bolin have been retained for the sake of preserving the intended structure and form of albums they appear on; however, it should be noted that Bolin left the music team after throwing a huge tantrum regarding "professionalism" and having tracks he hadn't formally released featured in the comic. While they still appear as their original releases in the albums on this artist page, they were promptly replaced with tracks by other music team members, and eventually [[album:homestuck-vol-1-4]] was released, including several replacement tracks. The entire fiasco around Bolin has long been infamous within the music fandom.
