1. STOMP

Here we go,
Once again,
Will it end ?
Does anyone care ?

Here we go,
Once again,
Will it end ?

The show is starting,
The clowns are laughing,
You're not departing,

It's automatic,
The light fantastic,
Wrapped in plastic,

Here we go,
Once again,
Will it end ?
Does anyone care ?

You're not departing,
The light is shining,
Everybody get your freak on !

2. THE LIGHT FANTASTIC

Switch on, turn up, break down.

Got to be a part of this twisted game,
So dreams and reality are one and the same,
Integrity dies, replaced by fear,
This isn't as fulfilling as it first appeared,

The sound comes on and it all fades,
Somebody screams, but I'm too dazed,
The pictures move in unison,
Totally surrounding this black room.

No conversation,
Why should I try,
Everyone leaves,
Why should I care,
No conversation,
Why should I try,
Everyone leaves,
Why should I care,

Switch on, turn up, break down,
It's not feeling.

Back to the game and I try to be real,
Everyone plays and it's all for fun,
Frightening flashes that seem unreal,
Blind us and scare everyone,

The sound comes on and it all fades,
Somebody screams, but I'm too dazed,
The pictures move in unison,
Totally surrounding this black room.

No conversation,
Why should I try,
Everyone leaves,
Why should I care,
No conversation,
Why should I try,
Everyone leaves,
Why should I care,

Got to be a part of it,
Got to be a part of it,

The sound comes on and it all fades (x4)

No conversation,
Why should I try,
Everyone leaves,
Why should I care,
No conversation,
Why should I try,
Everyone leaves,
Why should I care,

Got to be a part of it,
Got to be a part of it,

Switch on, turn up, break down,
It's not feeling.
Switch on, turn up, break down,
It's not feeling.

Some day, some day,
Some day, some day,
It'll all work out.


3. LIZARD MAN

Watch out, the lizard man comes,
Beware his serpent tongue,
Must hide from his evil eyes,
Must run from the dead ones cries,
He sees in to your dreams,
It's "him" that makes you scream.

Hey you, do you wanna feel pain ?
I'll take you to his domain,
Show you the lizard man's lair,
Show you what lies in there,
Dead dreams of dying rock stars,
Sat there with their broken guitars,
Sad fools with their minds full of cash,
And arrogance that met it's match,

Yeah !
Yeah !

He lives !
He lives !

Bring it on down for the freakiest guy,
He's a sinner and that's no lie,
He's more than just a twisted fiend,
He's worse than anything you've dreamed,
Get down to the sound of his song,
Get down, because you won't be here long...

Yeah !
Yeah !

He lives !
He lives !

You cannot get away, you cannot break though,
It's the lizard man, he lives in you,

Slipping away though time and space...


4. REVENGE OF FREAKS

How does it feel to be beaten ?
How does it feel to have your pride eaten ?
How does it feel ? Surreal ? Does it feel real ?
Do you want to fight back ? Now you know how we feel.

The Freak Show's coming with a hat full of tricks,
A grin full of steel and a bag full of freaky hits,
This is a warning to anyone who're listening,
Time's nearly up bitches, here comes the sin,
Evil and vile, this is anti-style,
We're a band with beats and a desire to defile,
Everybody better run and find a place to hide,
If you're not down with the Freak Show we'll blow you're fucking mind,

Do you want to fight back ? Now you know how we feel.

Freaks of world, I know you're there,
The Freak Show's coming, put your fists in the air,
We're scrubs in rags and creeps and fags,
We're freaks, and we ain't going away,
They never really liked us, we're not the same as them,
They don't want to understand, they want assimilation,
We're the same, you and I,
Life kicked us in the face and we wanted to die,
So march with the Freak Show boy's and girls,
Raise you're middle fingers and show them to the world,
'Say'
Bow motherfuckers, bow motherfuckers, BOW !
The Freak Show is coming, hear the loud crowd !

Come to me,
Please stop hating,

Are you ready ? Ready for this,
This is bliss disguised as a fist,
Well, everybody wants a little piece of paradise,
They'll show you heaven if you pay the right price,
Are you ready ? Ready to believe,
That this is the answer to all your needs,
Welcome to my world, you'll never fucking leave,
Depression grabs hold of you and never lets you breathe,

How does it feel to be beaten ?
How does it feel to have your pride eaten ?
How does it feel ? Surreal ? Does it feel real ?
Do you want to fight back ? Now you know how we feel.

5. DARK LIGHT

(Instrumental)


6. PLAYGROUND TWIST

[Chorus]
Playground twist,
The memories I missed,
Childish dreams that never went away...

Childhood has gone,
It all went wrong,
Please daddy please,
Just let me be,

Grandmother is waiting,
Run into her arms,
Lullabies at bedtime,
Nightmares are real,

1, 2, 3, 4,
Open the door,
You know what for,

[Chorus]

Girl on a swing,
Such an innocent thing,
But innocence dies,
And her mother will cry.

Daisy chains and laughter,
Of a summer long ago,
But now it's only winter,
And the magic is dead.

1, 2, 3, 4,
Open the door,
You know what for,

[Chorus]


7. VOODOO DOCTOR

Born in a bar in New Orleans,
And taught witchcraft by things unseen,
I'm the creepy voodoo doctor man,
And I do whatever I can,

Hear me sing the blues in the moonlight,
I try and raise the devil on this black night,
Don't you tell me' bout right or wrong,
Cos I'm the Voodoo Man and now it's on !

You hate me cos I'm the only one,
You hate me cos I'm what you want to be,
You hate me cos I'm the only one,
You hate me cos I'm what you want to be,

Got five shrunken heads and a wife from Haiti,
She's a fucked up freaky, sleazy kind of lady,
We run a little cult, we sacrifice cats,
We split them down the middle, then we wear them as hats,

Hear me sing the blues in the moonlight,
I try and raise the devil on this black night,
Don't you tell me' bout right or wrong,
Cos I'm the Voodoo Man and now it's on !

You hate me cos I'm the only one,
You hate me cos I'm what you want to be,
You hate me cos I'm the only one,
You hate me cos I'm what you want to be,

Hear me shake the bones, watch me dance,
Don't you run, I'll put a curse on you,

I know you're fascinated,
So come a little bit closer,
I know that you want to,
I'll show you what I can do...

Some people dream about me,
Some people want to kill me,
Some people dream about me,
Some people want to kill me,

You hate me cos I'm the only one,
You hate me cos I'm what you want to be,
You hate me cos I'm the only one,
You hate me cos I'm what you want to be


8. VOICE IN YOUR HEAD

You're strange, you're weird, you're not quite right,
They don't understand you, they don't want you in their sight,
Some of them say "there's no place for you here",
A loved one comes to you and whispers in your ear...

"I used to love you, but now I can't look at you"
Don't disown me, don't wanna be lonely,
"You make me sick, now you're just an "it"
Don't disown me, don't wanna be lonely,

You're not like the others. They hate one another,
You're not like the others and that's why I like you,

You shamed your family with your sickened mind,
They don't know what's become of you, you're not one of their kind,
They look at you with disgust, they look at you with fear,
They're all shouting at you now and this is what you hear...

"I used to love you, but now I can't look at you"
Don't disown me, don't wanna be lonely,
"You make me sick, now you're just an "it"
Don't disown me, don't wanna be lonely,

I am the voice that speaks inside your head,
Nobody likes you, they wish you were dead.

I am the voice that eats at your soul,
And torments you so, I'll leave you low,
I am the voice that whispers the dark thoughts,
I'll make you contemplate suicide,

I am the voice that'll drive you insane,
You don't know me, but I know you,
I am the voice that always holds you back,
And you throw it away because I get my way.

I am the voice that speaks inside you head.


9. FUNNY FARM

"Mamma always said I was crazy,
Oh fuck man, I didn't know she was right !"

Spies looking in, don't know what they want to see,
But they've got X-Ray eyes and they're looking at me,
Call it paranoia, call it what the hell you like,
But I know they're fucking there, spying on me at night,
They're all out to get me, I'm damn sure of that,
It's just a matter of time before they spring their trap,

Welcome to the funny farm, we're all mad here,
We need our pills, so give us what you got,
Welcome to the funny farm, we're all crazy here,
We've got fucking issues, have you got the plot ?

Someone is following,
I know they're gonna get me !
So I'll do the stalking !

Dressed like a demon come to take me away,
They know I've lost my mind again and now I've gotta pay,
Off to the funny farm, off I go again,
Thought I saw the future, but it's only the end,

Welcome to the funny farm, we're all mad here,
We need our pills, so give us what you got,
Welcome to the funny farm, we're all crazy here,
We've got fucking issues, have you got the plot?

Someone is following,
I know they're gonna get me !
So I'll do the stalking !

So many pills, fucking up my head,
Slowing me down, I wish I was dead,
Can't take much more, I just want to go,
Don't push me baby, I'm ready to blow...

Come on people; let's break it down,
See you on the other side, I'm waiting for you,
Come on people; let's fuck it up !
Life's a total bitch, so let's scratch the itch,
Spinning, spinning, it's winning,
It's bringing us down.

"Trapped in a padded cell again,
I'm one of the loons ! Hahahahaha !"


10. DYING DREAM

Everybody's got s-s-something to say,
"Keep it fucking real man, just do it my way
Follow the crowd and you'll be O.K.
Live for tomorrow, never for today"
Bring it on down when you have a breakdown,

Let me out of your obscene dream,
Let me out of your dying dream,

I don't want to be like you,

Nothing ever stays like you want it to be,
Scream like you mean it, it don't matter to me,
Everybody stays so stuck in their ways,
Passing the days in a number of ways,
All irrelevant and numbing,

Let me out of your obscene dream,
Let me out of your dying dream,

Let me out, break me out,
Of the machine,
Let me out, break me out,

Everybody !
It's a dream,
Everybody !
Don't it make you wanna scream

I don't want to be like you,

C'mon, change, let it go,
C'mon, change, let it go,

All the people in the sky,
C'mon down and live or die,
Gotta stop dreaming, it's a lie,
You get nowhere and wonder why,

(Nobody said it would be easy,
Nobody said you should believe me)


11. TWILIGHT

(Instrumental)


12. ANTI-LIGHT

This is a nightmare I cannot escape,
Watching all my aspirations slowly fading away,
I'm stuck in a spiral that's going down,
With only my bitterness to comfort me,

You're lonely and you're blue,
Your feelings are not true,

You don't wanna speak in case someone will hear,
You don't wanna look in case you see yourself,

The dream machine...

Don't you start complaining again,
Be glad for what you get and pretend you like it,
Days pass by in a dreamlike blur,
I'm happy to be sad, I'm a contradiction,
Slightly mad and self deluded,
Convince myself that this isn't fiction.

You're lonely and you're blue,
Your feelings are not true,

You don't wanna speak in case someone will hear,
You don't wanna look in case you see yourself,

The dream machine...

My reality comes crashing down,
I run for shelter in this barren ground,
The dream is dying but I can't let go,
I burnt my bridges and I have no home,
This isn't real...

The dream machine...

Anti-Light,
Anti-Light,
Anti-Light,
Anti-Light


13. BURN IT DOWN

Close your eyes, metamorphosize,
Time to realize that you're dreaming it all,

People stared as I writhed on the floor,
I was shaking, I was changing but I don't know what for,
The figures faded as I sank in my mind,
I thought I was dead, until I heard a roar,

Trapped inside and crying in a dying world,
It was a purgatory worse than hell,
The sky was plastic and so were the people,
But it only took one flame, then they melted away,
This shitty plastic world slowly turned to sludge,
All because of a flame, and you've got one too.

Time to tear it down with our dirty, bare hands,
Time to burn it down and you've got the flame !
Time to tear it down with our dirty, bare hands,
Time to burn it down, burn it all down.

Close your eyes, metamorphosize,
Time to realize that you're dreaming it all,

I said it was a dream, or was it hell ?
When it's all fiction can you really tell ?
Look at all the people slowly wasting away,
There's not much point to life if you live it that way,

Time to tear it down with our dirty, bare hands,
Time to burn it down and you've got the flame !
Time to tear it down with our dirty, bare hands,
Time to burn it down, burn it all down.

Fire in the hole ! Fire in the hole !
The world's burning down, free your soul,
Don't look back! Don't look back !
There's nothing there, so fuck that crap,

Everybody cheered as the world burnt down,
And all the lost things were suddenly found,
This plastic world was the cage for a dream,
But the dream broke free with a deafening scream,

Time to tear it down with our dirty, bare hands,
Time to burn it down and you've got the flame !
Time to tear it down with our dirty, bare hands,
Time to burn it down, burn it all down.
Watch this dying world go up it smoke,
It burns so easy, spreading like a forest fire,
Burn, burn, burn, burn,
Burn it all down !
Burn it down !


14. THE LIGHT FADES...

(Instrumental)
