1. MONEY MACHINE

It's so hard to get a break from the money machine
And you know that it's easy, so easy to make a mistake
But you're flying high, yeah, you're in an airplane, you're up in the sky
Fly so high

Years go by and no one knows how you feel inside
And you know that corporate pig won't let me in to the money machine
But you're drinking gin, yeah, by the big bar, you're out by the pool
You're the fool

Fame never comes to those who wait for the money machine
And you know we get older, a little older, and then we fade away
Fade away

I'm sleeping away the day, I feel I cannot succeed
I'm trying to buy time up in my mind to get over your greed
Now don't give me any crap, I know it's a trap you intend to write us off
Well you're too numb to know where we're coming from, you're just too soft
You wanna make a buck, you average schmuck, you don't care about the band
You blow sugar up my ass and then say you'll pass and try to shake my hand

You know I'm tryin'
You know I'm tryin' to get through to the money machine


2. SELLOUT

I know that you're leading me on
Innocence has come in and gone
I found you out

Juvenilia getting you high
All the luck that money can buy
You knock me out
You Sellout

Always first to come
Looking out for number one

Heard you come a knocking before
Now you've got the key to the door
And there's no doubt
You sellout

Always first to come
Looking out for number one
You made it overnight
Gone before the morning light


3. NEUROPSYCHOPATHIC EYE

Here I am once again
Looking up at the ceiling
And what is it I'm afraid of
I need somewhere to hide from my neuropsychopathic eye
I'm crucified to my mind

Slowly drop into a fantod
And sound can't pierec through the labyrinth
I'm waiting for the trip to start
But I'm not ready to fry in my neuropsychopathic eye
A splinter flies through my spine

Something in your mind you don't realise
You don't realise
You don't realise


4. SIDE EFFECTS

Hey, light are my eyes and I got mixed emotions
Yeah, another sleepless night and I get no respite
Cause I'm lost upon the ocean

And I try and try
To lose myself inside
But the side effects keep bringin' me down
Yeah the side effects keep bringin' me down
And I know one day you won't bring me back around

Blue, the color of my mind the name of my explosion
The shape of all the wasted time spent chasing down the line
For that unattainable moment

And I try and try
To lose myself inside
But the side effects keep bringin' me down
Yeah the side effects keep bringin' me down
And I know one day you won't bring me back around
Ain't it the truth now baby
Ain't it the truth now mama I would not lie


5. (ANOTHER) NERVOUS BREAKDOWN

Cold sweat you bet well I'm feeling awfully ill
Give me a pill cause I'm trying to shake a chill
I think I need a cigarette

Starting to get back on track
I'm having another nervous breakdown

Hellbent and spent well they say I don't look well
I need a cell cause I've been through bloody hell
I think I see pink elephants

Starting to get back on track
I'm having another nervous breakdown


6. MINDBENDER

You got to feel the pain
It's started over again
Every time I get outta line

Mindbender
You got me on the run

A wound I can't conceal
No doctor knows how to heal
Can't you see I'm dying inside

Mindbender
You got me on the run

You were in disguise
Took me by surprise
Can't you make it better
Awhile

Mindbender
You got me on the run


7. IRONHEEL

Half of what you say is a lie
Well all along I knew you were a spy
Just a spy trying to pry in my eye
Ramifications plague your world
Lost adulations you deserve
Well you got you're finger in the pie
And now you only wonder why
Who will save you now
How does feel
Ironheel what you gonna do now

You think that your touch turns things to gold
But it's more like stale bread turning to mold
Well you have it all now and you want more
Who will save you now
You're spinning your wheels
Ironheel your world has come unglued now

It's getting near the end you're hanging by a thread
Cause now you've lost it all and there's no where for you to fall
How does it feel ironheel
You're spinning your wheels ironheel
I'm breaking the deal ironheel
How does it feel


8. DEATH WALKS BEHIND YOU

Close the door
Switch the light
You are so afraid tonight
Hide away from the vibe and the nine lives that you had

Start to scream
Shout for help
There is no one by your side
To forget what is done seems so hard to carry on

Death walks behind you

On his horse
Heading near
Bring yourself to understand
It's your fate for what's cast point the finger at yourself

Death walks behind you


9. THE BITTER END

How will I know
When it's time for me to go
And how can I be sure
I don't need you anymore

And if I step beyond these walls
Who's gonna hear me call
Tell Fortinbras the king is dead
And free
But my eyes are just to tired to see

Why am I true
To the demons in my view
And why should I pretend
I'm not nearing the bitter end

You've taken everything I know
And made it in to zero
The trappings have been torn away
From me
But my heart is just to cold to bleed
