Is this an ending - If it all works out - We'll be all screwed up - If we're all still standing - There can be no question - - Or just an omen - And if so, so what - Do the doors swing shut - When the big one opens - To the sound of trumpets - - 'Cause all I see are effigies - The howling of the flames - And you can tell the energy - Will never be the same - - Is this a climax - When the gloves and guns - All go off at once - At the intermission - And you lose your program - - Or just the footnote - From a book you read - For a quiz you flunked - In a classroom episode - On a history lesson - - 'Cause all I feel is gravity - So heavy you could drown - Before you know it's happening - You hear it in the sound - - Everyone is waiting for a sign, sign, sign - Sign, sign, sign, - Chemicals reacting in your mind, mind, mind - Mind, mind, mind - All the empty stations on the line, line, line - Line, line, line - I don't want to be the one who's left behind - Left behind - - Here in the house - Where the window's always white - And the walls are black as night - When it comes - - Out of a dream - Where we both went for a ride - You are laying by my side - When it comes - - Is this an ending - If it all works out - We'll be all worked up - If we're all still working - In a club called nowhere - - Or just an omen - 'Cause it's all so dark - And it's all so drab - And we're all so broken - In a streetlight ocean - - 'Cause all we have are effigies - Of who we were before - The pictures and the Polaroids - We buried in the drawer - - The paradox of promises - The breaking of a heart - And you can feel it burning - Before the fire starts - - Everyone is waiting for a sign, sign, sign - Sign, sign, sign, - Chemicals reacting in your mind, mind, mind - Mind, mind, mind - All the empty stations on the line, line, line - Line, line, line - I don't want to be the one who's left behind - Left behind - Left behind - Left behind - Left behind - Left behind - - Smiling and waving - To where your family stands - With the cameras in their hands - When it comes - - Flash on the screen - There's no order to the slides - There is nothing left to hide - When it comes - - You're bored and ignored - And you're barely not alone - It's the worst you've ever known - When it comes - - Bright red with the shame - But you can share the blame - Catch the roses for your name - When it comes - - We're running back in time, yeah - We're running back in time, yeah - We're running back in time, yeah - We're running back in time, yeah - We're running back in time, yeah - We're running back in time, yeah -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Track: They Want To Live Forever -Duration: 2:50 -Contributors: -- Melancholy Robot (drums) -URLs: -- https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/they-want-to-live-forever -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0M0dljCPcY -Lyrics: - When the young rebellion rides - At the crest of a raising tide - In the dance at the world's end - You better watch your back, my friend - - They come on like kamikaze planes - They got the chemicals in their veins - They want to know where the danger lies - And the magazine man cries - - They want to live forever - They want to have it all - They want to kiss their idols - They want to break the walls - They want to die for love - Before the love just dies, dies - They want to live forever - They want to live forever - - When the true believers run - Through the fire of the falling sun - In the clash of the new and old - You better hope that the water's cold - - They want to know what heaven's worth - They're gonna make a little hell on earth - They got a ticket to the teenage dream - And so the morning headline screams - - They want to live forever - They want to have it all - They want to kiss their idols - They want to break the walls - They want to die for love - Before the love just dies, dies - They want to live forever - They want to live forever and ever and ever and ever - And ever and ever and ever and ever - - They want to live forever - They want to have it all - They want to kill their idols - They want to break the walls - They want to die for love - Before the love just dies, dies - They want to live forever - They want to live forever and ever and ever and ever - And ever and ever and ever and ever -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Track: Burnout -Duration: 4:30 -Contributors: -- Melancholy Robot (drums) -URLs: -- https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/burnout -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpgbfXU6u84 -Lyrics: - Congratulations, Sir What's-Your-Name - You're all that glitters, like a moth into the flame - Designer clothes, imported cars - And just enough cologne to cover your cigars - - Your power station is quite secure - Haunting the hallways and hiding in the doors - Your innovations don't ever last - Your occupation's got you going nowhere fast - - If you really want to have it all - You're never gonna have enough - Baby, you'll be burning up - - If you really want to rule the world - You're gonna have to burn it down - Baby, you'll be burning out - - Year after year, locked in the game - Update the menu, but the venue's all the same - The power players already know - You hit the ceiling such a long, long time ago - - You take it out on little things - Swipe at the insects underneath you when it stings - Dreaming of conquest, dreaming of pride - Throw down the whip, my friend, you're cracking up inside - - If you really want to have it all - You're never gonna have enough - Baby, you'll be burning up - - If you really want to rule the world - You're gonna have to burn it down - Baby, you'll be burning out -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Track: Get Tough -Duration: 4:04 -Contributors: -- Melancholy Robot (drums) -URLs: -- https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/get-tough -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk63Bsib_Vk -Lyrics: - Don't talk to me about living the dream - I might be dreaming, but I'm not sleeping sound - Don't talk to me about living on handouts - When you're living on hand-be-downs - - I feel like I must be losing my grip - Clinging to memories, but trying to be hip - All the other ways I could've gone instead - I could be a lawyer or a doctor or dead - - It's a long time living - Long before you're living it up - And every chance I'm given - I've thought about giving it up - - There are bills to be paid - There is love to be made - There are treacherous waters - That we all must wade - And you can beg on your hands and knees - But it isn't enough - You've got to get tough - - Don't talk to me about beating the odds - I'm only standing where the world beats me down - Don't talk to me about rising above - When you run with the underground - - I feel like I must be losing my mind - Opening windows, closing the blinds - All the other ways I could've gone instead - No matter where I go I can't get out of my head - - It's a long time living - Long before you're living it up - And every chance I'm given - I've thought about giving it up - - There are bills to be paid - There is love to be made - There are treacherous waters - That we all must wade - And you can beg for mercy, please - But it isn't enough - You've got to get tough - - And just a little bit stronger - And just a little bit wiser - For just a little bit longer - We'll get a little bit higher -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Track: The Real Thing -Duration: 2:46 -Contributors: -- Melancholy Robot (drums) -URLs: -- https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/the-real-thing -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbxPoJRifPc -Lyrics: - Now that the money's run out - What was all of this all about - Counting the hours and days - Every moment you sold away - Looking for the right stuff - Waiting for the right friends - Vanish in the light of - Morning when the night ends - Were you only dreaming - Don't you feel like screaming - - I want the real thing - I want the real thing - Oh oh oh - I want the real thing - I want the real thing - Oh oh oh - - And if it all comes back - And you find yourself on the track - Where you came off the rails - When they promised you couldn't fail - Reading all the right books - Thinking all the right thoughts - In another light looks - Like you had a blindspot - Who would ever choose this - Would you rather lose this - - I want the real thing - I want the real thing - Oh oh oh - I want the real thing - I want the real thing - Oh oh oh - - And when the diamond in your hand was only coal - And every bullet in your plan was full of holes - And you're not sure there ever was an easy street - It's a minor defeat - 'Cause you know what you need - And you want something real - Do you know what is real - - Well - - I want the real thing - I want the real thing - Oh oh oh - I want the real thing - I want the real thing - Oh oh oh -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Track: Manufacturers -Duration: 3:44 -Contributors: -- Melancholy Robot (drums) -URLs: -- https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/manufacturers -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtSvK1dCJow -Lyrics: -

There was a time - You thought it all was for you - You saw the sun in the sky - You breathed the air and you knew - That the world was yours - It was something to have - It was all-you-can-eat - You took all you could grab - - Oh, what a time - What a sight to behold - You were more than alive - Your ambitions were bold - You were high on a bluff - Could not confess a mistake - You demanded the best - Left the worst in your wake - - You could never be stopped - It was your moment - All the destiny talk - It kept you going - What an awful surprise - To see it all flash through your eyes - - Tonight we live in anarchy - Tonight the idols will fall - Tonight we live with the heartache - Fooling like you rule it all - - Tonight belongs to no one - Tonight is bigger than you - Tonight we're going to show them - There's nothing that we will not do - - These are the thoughts - That we have in the dark - While you're calling the shots - We're swimming with sharks - In a battle royale - In a bevy of blows - Every bump in the road - Like a punch in the nose - - This is the crowd - That you cannot control - They are calling you out - They will swallow you whole - There is fire in their eyes - There is blood on their hands - You're the one they despise - And they're making demands - - There is nowhere to run - They're at the front door - And now that you are the one - That they have come for - What a horrible shock - To be the new head on the block - - Tonight we live in anarchy - Tonight the idols will fall - Tonight we live with the heartache - Fooling like you rule it all - - Tonight belongs to no one - Tonight is bigger than you - Tonight we're going to show them - There's nothing that we will not do -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Track: Land Of The Free -Duration: 3:33 -Contributors: -- Melancholy Robot (drums) -URLs: -- https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/land-of-the-free -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XydnukcuI0 -Lyrics: - We don't know who we are - We don't know who we are - And we don't care - We don't care - - We don't know what we want - We don't know what we want - But we want it now - Yeah we want it now - - And we know we have rights - Written by magical men - With the wave of a pen - In the land of the free - Where you don't have to be - Anyone at all - - We don't know why we're here - We don't know why we're here - But we won't leave - We won't leave - - We don't know when to stop - We don't know when to stop - And we won't slow down - No, we won't slow down - - And we know we're in charge - With a license from God - To take whatever we want - In the land for the free - Where you can give your disease - To anyone at all - - And we don't negotiate - And you can't retaliate - And we hold on to our hate - Because it's all we have - And we don't think twice - When it all comes crashing down - Crashing down - - We don't know who we are - We don't know who we are - But we know where - We know where - - And we love it to death - And you can't disagree - Because it's all true to me -

There's a riot on the pavement - When you walk into the street - With a dream of retribution - And the rising of the heat - - Do you kiss the feet of beggars - Do you let them stand alone - When you look down to your fingers - And the body's not your own - - Tell me how it feels - With the world sitting on your shoulders - All the time - - Tell me how it feels - With the blood inside you running colder - On and on - On and on - - There's a blackout in the city - When the poles are realigned - And the compass spins forever - So you have to speak your mind - - At the mercy of the public - In the violence of the state - If you cannot change your answer - Will you trust the hands of fate - - Tell me how it feels - With the world sitting on your shoulders - All the time - - Tell me how it feels - With the blood inside you running colder - On and on - On and on |
