You took a u-turn at the turnstile Like you were royalty trapped in exile Getting dizzy from the mess we're making So it seems like it's been mistaken This artifice ain't me Honey it's plain to see No options left for me Better get your shit together and leave If you're gonna leave Leave now You say you can't see a way around it And you feel like you're being surrounded Now you see me as the opposition And it's filling me with suspicion This artifice ain't me Honey it's plain to see No options left for me Better get your shit together and leave If you're gonna leave Leave now

Killer Heels 03:23
Jack's in his box Tired of the shocks Scandal is your middle name What's the game you're trying to play with me today? For a blush response Is all you really want With my heart upon the line Will I watch you beat it up this time? You've got a disregard for health and safety policy You're trying to make it hard Put on them killer heels and then proceed to walk them over me Dressed to ensnare But you'd never dare I'm reeling from your crude attacks I know there's no keeping track on how to feel So bellacose But can you take a dose Of the medicine you deal Or will you tumble in your killer heels? You've got a disregard for health and safety policy You're trying to make it hard Put on them killer heels and then proceed to walk them over me What of the plans you designed? Digging your heels in my spine Or is somebody jumping the line?

Hand Model 01:32
You know I noticed you You know I noticed you've got great hands You saw me too And knew that soon there'd be demand For those beautiful hands You could be a hand model You could be a hand model It's nothing new You put it down to just another job But through the lens I saw something I couldn't get enough of Those beautiful hands You could be a hand model You could be a hand model I wanna know Just where those digits go When you clock off at the end of the day Now I've spilled the beans You must know you're onto something good Take care of them They're way too good for chopping wood You've got beautiful hands You could be a hand model You could be a hand model

Dysfunctional alpha-males wanna rule this room While innocents run for exits when the tick-tick ends with boom Someone threw fuel on the fire Shit just got real once again There's terrorists in the funhouse tonight Now you've got a machine gun ho ho ho Hey buddy I'm your white knight - there's no going home tonight I'll see you dead before I Count down from three once again There's terrorists in the funhouse tonight

I know we've met somewhere before But you've got no recollection Somewhere in your memories I'm stored But overlooked for selection Is it an accident or by a design? I'm out of your mind Just so you know, it wasn't so long ago Is it a mistake on my part Or do you harbour suspicion? Is there any space in your heart For you to make the admission? Is there a reason why you're shutting me out? Is there any doubt? Just so you know, it wasn't so long ago You might be given to forget And maybe you'll remember yet Or is it me who's got it wrong? And we've been strangers all along So while the time will still allow Let's reacquaint ourselves right now For I'm convinced you know somehow Is it an accident or by a design? I'm out of your mind Just so you know, it wasn't so long ago So don't let me hang in suspense Do I need reintroduction? And if I don't make any sense Forgive my bold interruption It seems the time has gone as quick as it came Along with my name Just so you know, it wasn't so long ago I know we've met somewhere before But you've got no recollection But you've got no recollection But you've got no recollection

I wandered down the lane of roaming eyes And saw some staring back that I admired Continuing to town beneath the spires I stumbled around Now I'm hoping I won't rue the day I strolled the sidewalk in the captains clothes To leave the ship to pilot by itself And stow away towards rewards unknown Chain smoking and joking And hoping I won't rue the day It starts with a leap in the dark You're impatient to get somewhere fast And a trick of the light couldn't even disguise your confusion It starts with a leap in the dark You're impatient to get somewhere fast And a trick of the light couldn't even disguise your confusion I started back at where I made my start The orchestra plays 'til the break of dawn Tomorrow's only just a cadence away I'm thinking of nothing And hoping I won't rue the day

Flipped armadillo with sun in its eyes And teenagers travelling to their demise The mad and macabre is beyond the door Of a trap several more had fell into before It's Saturn in retrograde all over again Scattered in darkness and sepia lensed They limp to familiar cynical ends Screams form a drone so familiar to hear They wake not the sleeping desensitised ear It's Saturn in retrograde all over again Now watch the monster go chase his own tail Caricatured endlessly beyond the pale Nightmares replay to diminishing gains Where chaos once was now indifference reigns It's Saturn in retrograde all over again

You gotta tip-toe around her ego And head straight for her subconsciousness Be careful a-creeping Anxiety's sleeping Now you stand before the motherboard When you should have turned to run For to hit any button Is auto-destruction 'Cos her love's just like an explosion When her temper's driving her wild You're in danger up to your eyeballs She's so volatile You superglued your hand onto the handle of a door You shouldn't ever have opened See what you've awoken Your free remaining hand is searching Frantically for keys To lock away all the rage You let out of the cage 'Cos her love's just like an explosion When her temper's driving her wild You're in danger up to your eyeballs She's so volatile Be sure that the exit's are clear Take heed of the warning you hear The surface will peel Revealing a substance so volatile Now you cower while the infrastructure Burns before your eyes And it suddenly dawns You'll be sore in the morning 'Cos her love's just like an explosion When her temper's driving her wild You're in danger up to your eyeballs She's so volatile

How long Lucifer Until you're at my door For to take me away To the fiery underground? Flames they choke and sear As the darkness nears Screams are shrill and cry on Seemingly evermore Is it too late in the day to pray?
11.
Our love's out of time and out of sync Our love's out of time and out of sync Any chance the spark will find fruition in the form of a flame Will alone depend on your admission that you're feeling the same things that I do Our love's out of time and out of sync Our love's out of time and out of sync Disappearing fast into the distance of my rear mirror view Now it seems the path of least resistance is the path that is preferable to you There's a point of singularity where you and me never go And the probability is slim of ever meeting so how will we ever know? Our love's out of time Out of time Out of time

When you wake up and your heartbeat is the only lonely sound Then you'll know that you won't see me around again And it won't take long to figure out why love is leaving town And you'll know that you won't see me around Your head is spinning while your thoughts cave in on you 'Cos you can't take back all of those rotten things you do And you do You'll wish I was here beside you like your shadow on the ground But you know that you won't see me around Your head is spinning while your thoughts cave in on you 'Cos you can't take back all of those rotten things you do And you will talk of me to anyone who hears you Speaking my name 'cos I'm no longer with you now And you'll cry out loud When you wake up and your heartbeat is the only lonely sound You'll think twice before you let somebody down again And it won't take long to figure out why love is leaving town And you'll know that you won't see me around
