Carnival 03:58
Dear little girl, we’re out of time You bent your back, you nearly broke mine So we’re going to the Carnival to lose our minds I’ll meet you at the Carnival We’ll lose our minds Dear mystery, do you see me? Dear mystery, do you see me? Can’t help but tell you’re not listening You’re coming to the Carnival Listen to me La de da de da Mr. Sun I saw your son He was the one who couldn’t run Away from everything He pushed so hard until it hurt And from the pain the son he learnt That’s why I’m sitting in You can trust the Carnival to blow his mind Put faith in the Carnival and you have mine La de da de da Carnival

Martinets 05:05
Go ahead now say goodbye to Martinets Check their colour nailed lurid to the skiff The sacramental box I built, now sacramental shiv Go ahead now say goodbye to Martinets Through the babel and the water coloured flesh See the victory now illuminated The coward first did set the trap, drawn, quartered limb from limb Go ahead now say goodbye to Martinets (I say oh) I swear I am on my way home I swear I am on my way home First the feeling, then the curses I kept Natures never one side elevated The coward first did set the traps, drawn, quartered limb from limb Go ahead now say goodbye to Martinets (I say oh) I swear I am on my way home I swear I am on my way home

Belmonte 04:16
In my heart, I was always running I didn’t always feel that way Give me the cup, let go, I’ll have it Here’s to your health, the light of day Belmonte was right Belmonte was right When you stand alone just to feel alive Belmonte was right Set it up and turn it over Make the best mistake you can Burn in blue ‘til the ‘Cold & Sober’ keeps A thousand memories shaking hands Belmonte was right Belmonte was right When you stand alone in the burning light Belmonte was right And as a child you can hear it coming And as a child you could hear it coming

Vices 04:01
I’m an old switch blade A cracked head in a vice Taking all of my father’s advice (x 2) It’ll be better in the morning baby It’ll be better in the morning son It’ll be better in the morning Let us start with you taking Start with you taking arms Tourniquet neck tied Bad blood in the brain Making all of my memories the same (x 2) It’ll be better in the morning baby Better in the morning Sun It’ll be better in the morning Let us start with you taking Start with you taking arms Can’t think that way, can’t communicate Nocturnal paint down on Ripponlea lake And I won’t sink at all It’ll be better in the morning baby It’ll be better in the morning son It’ll be better in the morning Let us start with you taking Start with you taking arms

Sometimes 04:56
I may or may not be suitable Bursting at the seams Memories of ceramic jaw Shattering in relief Bated breath and miniature Felines with no teeth I may or may not be suitable Bursting at the seams I see you're sometimes the beauty Sometimes the lame I see you're sometimes the answer Sometimes the shame But if your heart is still in it There's someone else to blame Envision a different animal Curled up at your feet I see new hope is alive old masculine I see you're starting to believe I see you're sometimes the beauty Sometimes the lame I see you're sometimes the answer Sometimes the shame And if your heart is still in it There's someone else to blame But through the water I can see the Sun But through the water I can see the Sun But through the water I can see the Sun But through the water I can see I may or may not be suitable

Don’t let me go, I am only just as strong as you are Sirens sing alone, quiet now And see the mystery below If I could see you now I would swim until Good Courage let me drown Don’t let me go, I am only just as strong as you are Surely I can remain your ever-burning star Surely I can remain your ever burning star Keep conversation now We’ve been talking for too long to let it off Down Desolation Row you can always see the dignity I’ve lost Surely I can remain your ever-burning star Surely I can remain your ever-burning star But I guess I’ll follow you from afar Yeah, I guess I’ll follow you

Bluebird 01:57
I’m not leaving I’m not leaving now (x 2) Where will you go, my love? Where will you go? (x 2) Bluebird screaming Screaming down below (x 2) Where will you go, my love? Where will you go? (x 2)

Did you feel like a tourist in your own wonderland? Did the company of sharks force the game? Did your mind reject the offer of a second masterplan? Will the cold chaotic vision of romance? Well, you can say what you want about me You can say what you want about me You can say what you want about me I’m coming down Could I trade a crooked tongue just to fall down at your feet? Buy a boy another chance to let you in? But the Saint I heard him whisper 'You will live through this defeat' And the answers in the question at the beginning Well, you can say what you want about me You can say what you want about me You can say what you want about me I’m coming down Hallelujah
