1. MADHATTER

I don’t need nobody’s help
I can do it by myself
I can’t feel at all

My mom says say your prayers

There’s no way that you can get back
To where you once started at
And you know that it doesn’t matter
When you play the madhatter

I’m the madhatter

I don’t want your good advice
I am ready to roll the dice
I don’t care anymore

Tell my mom that I’m gone

There’s no way that you can get back
To where you once started at
And you know that it doesn’t matter
When you play the madhatter

I’m the madhatter

There’s no escape from your fate

I’m the madhatter

There’s no way that you can get back
You’re out there


2. BATS IN THE BELFRY II

Okay, you caused yourself dome grief and that’s alright
The only way for you is to fight

You’ve crossed the line you damaged your mind
Cause all the time you sit and watch the tube
With bats in the belfry look what’s happened to you

Oh well, your whole entire world is filled with pain
Can you try to walk without a cane and stay sane?

Against the wall you’re ready to fall
Cause all and all you don’t know what to do
With bats in the belfry look what’s happened to you

Don’t you know your life’s obscured
And you know it can’t be cured
You’re all alone
Pick up the phone
There’s no one home
For you to call

You’ve crossed the line you damaged your mind
Cause all the time you sit and watch the tube
With bats in the belfry look what’s happened to you

Against the wall you’re ready to fall
Cause all and all you don’t know what to do
With bats in the belfry look what’s happened to you

Look what’s happened to you

You’ve fallen off the edge of your mind


3. PAIN KILLERS

Lately baby I feel strange
I’m a head case
And maybe baby I need to get away
From this place

There’s no sympathy
I want some sympathy for me
Here come the men in the white suits

They’re coming to take me away from pain

It’s funny honey how I can change
And stay the same
Not even money honey or immense fame
Will kill the pain

There’s no sympathy
I want some sympathy for me
Here come the men in the white suits

They’re coming to take me away from pain
Lock me away and throw away the key


4. DISAPPEAR

The end is near
And fate’s unclear
You pulled the trick of the year

I cannot hear
Your words aren’t clear
They drowned in the suds of your beer

I will always remember your birthday it’s in September like mine
See the road ahead…disappear

Hey where you been
The lights are dim
I followed the tracks of your sins

A piece of mind
I’ll never find
Cause I know you’re one of a kind

I will always remember your birthday it’s in September like mine
See the road ahead…disappear

Why do dreams have to die?
Why has it turned out to be a lie?
I wish you were here
I will not let you go

See the light ahead
Turn from green to red
Watch my friend in bed…disappear


5. ROCK & ROLL CONTRACT

Payola coca cola running dry
Radio it’s pre-programmed commercially controlled

Is it in your contract, the big marketing blitz?
You call you’re A&R man he’s up at the Ritz
He tells ya his cell phones on the fritz
Keep churning out the hits boys

You need a rock and roll contract

Sell your soul to reach the goal the label’s got in mind
Well it’s a smash get on tour and make some more cash flow

It’s in contract when the record sales soar
You count MTV for the video support
But they tell ya their boy bands are war and The Real World starts at four

You need a rock and roll contract

We don’t take time off on Sundays
We just want another number one
We don’t get away on holidays
We just want another gold award

Now that you smell the greed
Do you still want a rock and roll contract?
Do you still need a rock and roll contract?
I guess I still need a rock and roll contract

It’s in your contract you take it to the top
The money flows the bull shit grows never gonna stop
It’s just rock and roll
It’s in your contract its rock and roll to the bone
And you know you got it now


6. SUNSHINE SUICIDE

Shine on
Follow through my friend
Every single thing I do just seems to bring me down

Sunshine suicide will you take a ride with me?

Shine on
Follow through my friend
Every single thing I do just seems to bring me down

Sunshine suicide will you take a ride with me?

Shine on
Bring it back again
Every single thing I do just seems to bring me down

Sunshine suicide will you take a ride with me?


7. FALLING BOMBS

Mother told me not to worry they’re just falling bombs
She said she hasn’t heard that sound since back in Vietnam

Falling Bombs
They’re falling to the earth

Father told me that the world’s collapsing on us all
But television shows elapsing hides the writing on the wall

They’re just falling bombs
Who they falling on?
They’re just falling bombs
Till they’re falling on you

Are you gonna fly when you hear the sirens call?
Are you gonna die in a raging fire ball?
How you gonna live in a world that isn’t there?
Don’t you know there’s bombs’ falling through the air

Mother’s cooking in the kitchen she looks up to sky
She sees a fighter pilots mission and she wonders why

Falling Bombs
They’re falling to the earth

Father sees the situation starting to occur
But before he changed the station it was just another blur

They’re just falling bombs
Who they falling on?
They’re just falling bombs
Till they’re falling on you


8. BLACK MOTH

I spend my days
Running through the maze
Searching for the fire
To come and take me higher

I cannot hide what’s inside
So much pain I can’t explain

You’re drawn to me just like you’re drawn to a flame

Go away
Go away
Black moth go away

I cannot win
No matter how much I dig in
The hole keeps getting deeper
And the mountain just gets steeper

I’ve broken down and cried
I won’t give up my pride
Failure now is meaningless
Cause I know I’ll rise like a Phoenix

You’re drawn to me just like you’re drawn to a flame

Go away
Go away
Black moth go away


9. CARRY THE LOAD

There’s no treatment for what I’ve got
Leave me here to die and then rot
There’s nothing left in this world for me
You made me blind and now I can’t see

I never heard what you told me
You left me alone to carry the load

I’ll carry the load till it implodes
I’m biding my time
I’m plotting a scheme making it mine
I’m falling behind

Can I navigate the storm now?
It’s so dark in here I don’t know how
There’s nothing in this world for you
I never guessed this is what you would do

You never heard what I told you
I left you alone to carry the load

I can’t seem to let it go
I wish I had a heart of stone
I can’t let you go

I’ll carry the load till it implodes
I’m biding my time
I’m plotting a scheme making it mine
I’m falling behind


10. BURNING BRIDGES

I play the game
Around and around it’s the same
You are inane
You don’t see a single thing around to gain

I’m sick building bridges industry religious
Why the hell do I even try?
Making haste compromising visions
Waiting for the big pie in the sky

So I’ll watch them all burn down
Watch them all burn down

I tried and tried
A half million times just to pass by, denied
You try to hide
I called bluff on Billy Goats’ Gruff you drowned and died

I’m sick building bridges industry religious
Why the hell do I even try?
Making haste compromising visions
Waiting for the big pie in the sky

So I’ll watch them all burn down
Watch them all burn down

No more waiting anticipating
What everyone’s saying
Games that we’re playing
No more waiting anticipating how


11. BATS IN THE BELFRY I

Look into your eyes know what is wrong
Conversation seems to roll

You've crossed the line, you damaged your mind
Cause all the time you sit and watch the tube
Look what's happened to you

Now your work is completely a wreck
Got to get yourself in ch-ch-ch-check

Against the wall you're ready to fall
Cause all and all you don't know what to do, my friend
Is it really the end of the world

Don't you know that your life experience could end
You know that it can not be cured

You've crossed the line, you damaged your mind
Cause all the time you sit and watch the tube
With bats in the belfry, look what's happened to you
Look what's happened to you

Against the wall you're ready to fall
Cause all and all you don't know what to do
With bats in the belfry, look what's happened to you
Look what's happened to you, my friend
Is it really the end of the world

Take the time to step outside yourself
You can find some strength to carry on
Until it's gone I know it's not too late for you


12. $

Nothing is good
It always turns bad
Nothing misunderstood
Nothing to understand
You think that you’re right
You’re probably wrong
There’s no reason to fight
You can’t get along with

Money it’s pure evil
It changes people

Everyone’s false
No one is real
Now there’s a cause
To make a big deal
Don’t know who’s your friend
Don’t know who’s your foe
I hope this is the end now
I’ve got to let go of

Money it’s pure evil
It changes people
Money, it’s your best friend
Till it leads you to the bitter end
