Bops A Zap

You Know what they’re going to tell you. They’ll tell you that you can’t bop a zap, that you can’t speak your heart, that you can’t outlive yourself, that you’re not bettre than anyone else, that you can’t have your cake, and that you can’t shim and shake.
All you can do is either bop a zip, zap a bop, zip a zip, zap azip, zip a bop or zip a zap. I’m not even sure they will let you bop a bop or even zap a zap. Eventually they’ll convince you that the world would just do finewithout you. But then you have to remember that Stanislas is with us now, and that it’s going to be very easy now. Remember what he said to us : « First you hear the beat, then you play the beat ».

Evil Element :

Give me an hour of your precious time
Sit here with me and we'll talk
I have tobacco and you can have wine
They’ll knock but the door will be locked

When i speak my heart and it hurts
Please don’t fall apart, please don’t burst

Speaking is easy and silence is fine
Silence is good when you know
But i am your friend and i can’t read your mind
Let's speak slowly and low

There’s no judgement, no pride
No evil element to hide

Time Change :

I stood outside the temple till the fast was over
I walked back home and there you were, still sober
We talked for a minute, had wine and food
And what followed was nice and what followed was good

Through silk, satin, cotton, rags and mesh
Let me pull that thorn out of your flesh
Rejoice already, blow that horn
You’ll know a little more, once airborne

Take heed of the time change, blink your eyes
Sleep with the lamb, he will rise
And drink the beads of sweat of your face
As we flip and finally help for outer space

Right on

You’ve got a little things you wear and the little things you do
I turned into a fool, a sucker for you
You cooked me with your looks and essential oils
Who says that a watched pot never boils

If it’s true that all women are secret agents
And you must be on a mission from the women’s government
Will you surprise to find a lover in me
Well i was knighted by the british venusian society

When All Is Said And Done :

When all is said and done
I’ll lie on the grass and you’ll be next to me
Days, all dead and gone
Will leave the past and become history

I, myself, won’t cry
Over times gone by
I’ll stare, i’ll smile, i won’t try
To draw one tear from your eye

I’ve told you before
It was hard and you had an answer
I hear no more
Light is bad but i see no monster

Love Doesn’t Die Of Old Age :

The street is silent and the air is thick
I light one cigarette with the other and it makes me sick
I drank some water too, you advised me to do it
There was a murder in our house and we're both wise to it

I’m sorry, darling, it was first degree
There are no witnesses but you and me
There was no autopsy, no body was found
There’s no testimony, not a sound

Who knows where our sheets have been
They must have been dirty to now seem so clean
The killer came back to the scene of the crime
Likely after very little time

It was obviously either you or me since
There were no other fingerprints
Murder was the case, there was violence and rage
And we all know that love doesn’t die of old age

The judge is cruel but the evidence is thin
He brings the fools and the madmen in
To taste our sweat and smell our breath
And the sentence is life and the sentence is death

Ghosts Like Me :

Ghosts like me, they tell me stories all the time
Ghosts like me, do you wanna know why
I'll believe everything, truths and lies

Ghosts like me, they tell me stories all the time
They know i'll believe everything, truths and lies

I'll believe everything truths and lies
I'll believe everything, do you wanna know why
I just don't know what goes on in the world outside

Ghosts like me, they tell me stories all the time
Yhey know i'll believe everything, truths and lies
I just don't know what goes on in the world outside

I don't know what goes on in the world outside
I don't know what goes on, do you wanna know why
These days i don't talk 2 people & i don't even wanna try

Ghosts like me, they tell me stories all the time
They know i'll believe everything, truths and lies
I just don't know what goes on in the world outside
These days i don't talk 2 people & i don't even wanna try

These days i don't talk to people, i don't even wanna try
These days i don't talk to people, do you wanna know why
Well my hands are shaking and my throat is dry

My hands are shaking and my throat is dry
My hands are shaking, do you wanna know why
Man, i can't sleep when you're not around

Man, i can't sleep when you're not around
Man, i can't sleep, do you wanna know why
Because all i wanna see is a light in your eyes

Because all i wanna see is a light in your eyes

Pumpkin :

Better make the most of it,
Better get some shoes that will fit
Your feet,
Everywhere you wanna go

You'll be lying in your bed,
Still motionless, dead
And the beat
Will be quiet and slow

I want you for a friend, i hope i’ll never made you mad
And i hope that you wanna miss me, you won’t miss me too bad

If you find me jumpy,
If you find me grumpy,
I’m not
I’m excited and i’m shy

I just had a few,
I happen to like you
A lot
And i could tell you why

Well, i don’t mean to pry,
But what are you doing with this guy
He's got his shirt tucked in
And he's not me

I’ll break the ice,
And i’ll carve you a very nice
Hallowed pumpkin
With eyes that see

One Revolution Of The Moon :

You thought the bar was busy
It seemed empty to me
Two customers clearing their throats
One bartender and five coats

Was it practice, or a first screening
Every little thing had a meaning
The light beaming straight to your face
Every little thing was in place

There's an angel in every street corner
And a big white one above the border
Cranes over walls, a rainbow
And then the squawking of a crow

One revolution of the moon
One girl blood monsoon
Come sunshine, come rain
And here we are again

The City Of Do :

In the city of do
All they have is new
Children sit
Where giant would fit

But however big or little
They're just regular people
Like me and you
In the city of do

In the city of do
They have problems too
They lie so well
They don’t believe in hell

They lie to the sun
But their lies are fun
But their lies come true
In the city of do

In the city of do
Everybody wears blue
If clouds appear
They never get near

Earth is where they are
And their sky is very far
One and one is two
In the city of do

You Have To Had Someone :

You have right abour the time
The end of a long day
You have right about the time
I didn’t need to stay

You have to have someone
Who’s there to tell you
You have to have someone
Someone you wanna go home too

You have to have someone
If you wanna make choices
You have to have someone
Or you'll hear voices

You have to have someone
You have to have a guide
You have to have someone
By your side

I told you i would stop
And that i knew my limit
I told you i would stop
Then i didn’t

You have to have someone
Who won't do you any harm
You have to have someone
Someone who will take your arm

My Stool :

See, it’s sad what time does
I've forgotten what your secret was
I’ve quit remembering i see and hear
Now i see a tear and i hear a sneer

I hope you know that i never lied
I hope you know i had nothing to hide
I’ve never been a player, i’ve never been cool
I was a year behind all the girls in high school

Who is more alone than me
Who is the bigger fool
Who is more alone than me
Who is gonna sit on my stool

The music is terrifying
The bartender is staring, he knows i’m dying
The music just gives me the creeps
My faith stayed home, my faith just sleeps

My faith is sad, it knows i’m dead
It’s lying lifeless in my bed
And i don’t want to see it ever again
It only drives me insane
