Lyrics

1.
Depth Charge
1, 2, 3, 4
All right, we are... , uh, uh, uh, uh...

I know (who's behind the door, who's behind the door)
Suddenly decide to listen to me,
Falling from the interior
Who's behind the door, who's behind the door?

Safety, (sexuality, falling away from me)
Suddenly decide to listen to me,
Thank you for being my medium
Who's behind the door, who's behind the door?

Reptile, the reptile in me, yeah
Animal, I'm an animal,
And we're all the same, all the same...
So I'm sending to you this depth charge

Known, into the unknown, seeking the unknown
Into the unknown depths
Suddenly decide to listen to me,
Thank you for the material
Who's behind the door? I'm behind the door!

Red line, the red line in me, yeah
Insect or animal,
Though we're not the same...
Everything's the same!

Known, into the unknown, seeking the unknown,
Into the unknown depths

It's all the same!
That's all that we are. Mother
Everything that we are. Father
This is all that you are. Sister
Every little thing that you are. Family

Further, further, further
Bring it on!

Known, into the unknown, seeking the unknown,
Into the unknown depths

Known, into the unknown, no anger, no,
Into the unknown depths, depths, depths, depths, depths
2.
Storm
If you wanted to,
Say you wanted to...
If you wanted to save the world
Where could you start? How could you start?
If you wanted to feel like I feel
...like I feel, oh

You're running dry
I'm flying high
We're running on feel

You wanted to be,
What you've never been before
We worked hard for a living
We worked hard for it all

You run and hide,
Don't run and hide
I'm starting to feel OK
But I'm wasted
And I'm failing
Oh, Tracy please
Can't you see?
It's just me

I wanted to feel
What I've never felt before
I was tired of the living
I was tired of it all

Time, time
...it's only...time.

If we wanted to,
Say we wanted to...
If we wanted to save our world
I'm waiting here, waiting
Waiting here baby, please...
Stay with me

We wanted to be
What we've never been before
But are we tired of the living?
Are we tired of the war?

Random Analysis
Analyze the compromise
Career is why I think or say the things I do
Relationship in honesty, so here's a little story for you;
Met a girl, I met a girl at random,
Random is as random does
Justify don't ask me why...why?
Just because.

I'm acting like a day old male
Day old female

Oh, oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh-oh

Saturday, another day, and life's a little give and take
Take and give
I'm staying home, I'm sorry boys I'm a little sensitive
But still you're saying;
"Faggot is as faggot does with every little faggot thing a faggot do"
I'm not insane, I'm not insane...I'm just smarter than you.

You're acting like a day old male
Day old female

Oh, analyze. Oh, compromise.
Why?

But I'm loving
And insecure
And just a little bit violent
But I know for sure,
I'm here to be your entertainment
I'm here, for your unbridled entertainment
So let's go.
Far away, in fantasy
Don't get me wrong I like it too and feel it too
But understand that man or woman, I don't want to sleep with you.
'Cause power is as power does
With every little power trip we pull because;
It's all inside our selfish pride wanting the control of it all
(Controlling it all! Control emotion!)

Day old male
Day old female

Oh, analyze. Oh, compromise (compromise baby...)
Why?
4.
Deadhead
You are a sun goddess, for all that we are...
Will you save me?
Hooray for you, uh-ah
Hooray.

Now the rain it comes, the rain it blurs the grey line
The grey line...the greyhound home
'Cause you are so vicious, hurt me, I can take it

'Cause it's all in the heat of the moment,
It's all in the pain

Sonar again...

Uh, it's on again, (got no wings...gossamer wings...) ...on again...

You are a sun goddess! Uh-oh!
Will you save me? Babe... babe... babe...

'Cause it's all in the heat of the moment
It's all in the pain
So give in to the heat of the moment
Give in to the pain
5.
Suicide
Three hour suicide
To get me out of here
Ih-ah, in three years, "Decide" is all I'll ever hear

Death of God
Death of feeling anything at all

Huh-oh, huh-oh

All my life this is understood
Wasting my time like you knew that I would... knew that I would
So I hide my internal suicide
All my pride just to keep it inside...
Keep it inside boy!

Suffer...

Uh-ah!

All my life this is understood
Wasting my time like you knew that I would... knew that I would
So I hide my internal suicide
All my pride just to keep it inside... keep it inside
Ten thousand lies
Ten thousand lies!
6.
Traveller
The life I have
Is the life I've always wanted
And there's no more feeling low...
Early morning, and I'm on the go!
Here I'm finally on the road
On the road!

And I wanna put my faith in you, babe
But I have to face it in another way
Let go... free from all
Now I'm a traveler, traveler (travel around).

But don't worry baby I need someplace to call my home
Don't worry baby I need someone to call my own.
Right!

And I wanna put my faith in you, babe
But I have to face it in another way
And I wanna put my faith in you, babe
Let go... free from all
Let go... I'll free fall

Now I'm a traveler, traveler (travel around).
Traveler, traveler (travel around)
Traveler, traveler (travel around)
Traveler, traveler (travel around)
7.
Away
(I'm an idiot)
(Well stop being an idiot then!)

Even though I've made a few new friends
It's hard to be back here in Sweden again
As above and so below my friend
It's hard to be back here in Sweden again
8.
Sunday Afternoon
Dream on (dream on, dream on...)
Dream another way
'Cause I know (I know, I know...)
When the wind blows your name
It's a shame...
Things are strange but that's OK
On a rainy Sunday afternoon...
In your place
In our place
In the swarm
So from the great plains
From the void...

I will wait for you
I!
I will wait for you
I will!
I will wait for you
I will wait alone.

Ain't it strange?
People change but that's OK
It's another night here, and all I'm thinking about is you.
In your place
In our place
In the swarm
So from the great plains
From the void...
Yeah, from the deep field
From the void...

I will wait for you
I!
I will wait for you
I will!
I will wait for you
I will wait alone.
9.
Slow Me Down
It's so easy when you call
I was waiting by the phone
Knowing that you're all alone
And I ask you when you call,
"But will you wait for me?"
Will you wait for me?

'Cause in a while I'll never look behind
Even when I'll nearly lose my mind
So when the devil wins that toss
Will we be making it across?
Hang on...

Want it, need it,
My want is found and feeding,
Hanging around with a girl
'Cause I want it, need it,
So bad I can hardly breathe but it slows me down.

And through all we bear the scars,
On the soul, through the stars,
Alone...
Forever we roam.
And you ask me when you call,
"But will you wait for me?"
I will wait for you!

'Cause in a while I'll never look behind
Even when I'll nearly lose my mind
So when the devil wins that toss
Will they be making it a cross?
Hang on...

Want it, need it,
My want is found and feeding,
Hanging around with a girl
'Cause I want it, need it,
So bad I can hardly breathe but it slows me down.

Feel it in my mind and soul
Feel it in my constant lies
Feel it now, feel it go away... oh yeah!

I wanna go, where nobody's gone
While hanging around with that girl
'Cause nobody knows where the river flows now...
You've slowed me, slowed me, slowed me down
Down!
