Every Night 01:59
Every night you come to me Every night you set me free Every night you watch me die Every day you see me fly And all I ever needed was you to get me through the night And all I ever wanted to do was to get through the night Every time the stars shine down I feel your presence all around You have come to cheer me on And by dawn you are gone Every night you're there Nobody else cares Every day it's you And all my dreams too
3.
In Morning 01:55
It was just before dawn I awoke with a yawn and I wrote a song just for you But I keep it with me and hum it over tea if only it could be true The only thing that I can say is that your beauty doesn't decay You're more beautiful than the last day and I, I love you so much And in my eyes you never died and you stay by my side and I, I love you too much

We all know about Madison Always in opposition against majority faction but offers free parking everyone would go to him Have you heard about Jefferson? Arrived at the end of Washington made a purchase to try to win the people's favour so they would spend all their money on him Starts at lunchtime and all day long the battle rages on and on served along with every plate this furious debate Madison tried to ratify all supporters get free pie but Jefferson then countered with major parties don't have to tip Madison versus Jefferson Starts at lunchtime and all day long the battle rages on and on served along with every plate this furious debate all the people are torn between presidential dining should they be joined by Truman they'll continue on but no one can win Madison versus Jefferson It's the battle of Hoboken

Manticore 02:19
Out of the blue it appeared to me walking down 42nd street I turned away but I couldn't escape the feeling that this was my day Oh, Manticore 'is it real or is it a dream?' the only thing my mind could scream I did not wish to take the risk but my brain could not handle it Oh, manticore Manticore, please don't eat me I've got someplace else to be I'm sure that you can sympathize I swear it's true, look in my eyes I made my first mistake right there he hit me with his mesmer glare came right up and tore me in two and within moments I was consumed Oh, manticore Manticore, why do I persist in having my own conciousness? is this my fate to forever see your next victim but give no warning?

Welcome to my world.' If you can survive through the maze of my mind I'll let you in on a secret your best days haven't happened yet come along follow me I'll show you things you'll never see you think you had it rough? well, the victim is me she said 'there are no victims, only opportunities' Don't you be afraid it's only a monster coming out from inside your closet to cut you open and eat your flesh he'll keep your eyes and he'll sell the rest If you can survive the terrors of everyday life you will be rewarded then a special knowledge there at the end you have known all along there is no mourning before the dawn I know you've had it rough, but listen to this if you look for disappointment you'll never get it Don't you be afraid it's only a monster coming out from inside your closet to cut you open and eat your flesh he'll keep your eyes and he'll sell the rest Just remember that it's not a dream

When I was just a boy my mama gave me a Dalí I did not appreciate it She tried to interest me in the Mechanical Ballet and the Diagonal Symphony she would read newspaper stories randomly at bedtime every morning when we awoke our beds would have to be readymade She collected different kinds of currency so I could go to collage

Neon Maniacs 03:39
They're gruesome and psychotic and only come out at night The unsuspecting are easy prey to their frightening appetite Reasoning is beyond them You cannot sway their minds Just look at the victims that they leave behind Neon Maniacs Switch on the terror Neon Maniacs Just add water They live in the cities or one of them at least They leave only one survivor or maybe it was three With every moment that passes the plot thins ever more Don't say I didn't warn you You have been informed Neon Maniacs Switch on the terror Neon Maniacs Just add water

Whales sing to attract a mate I sing to reiterate: If it's not too late to say I'd like to see you every day Oh I adore you and all the things that you do I love the way that you tell how you would trash talk a whale 'Whale? More like Fish-Fatty!' 'Big Fat Fish and I do not get along.' Who but you would take the bait and put that mammal-fish in his place I can't begin to speculate 'I challenge any whale. You hear that, whale? I challenge you!' 'Whale: I challenge you!'

Zombi 02:49
You were my friend once hear take my things I do not need them I've been in the grave. You see they killed me opened my tomb then sold my body under the moon I'm a zombi I angered someone by what I said he bought a powder to bring my death Nobody around came to my aid they just accepted I could not be saved I'm a zombi I remained fully aware while I died and they buried me My sister weeping the dirt raining down then calling out to me to leave the ground I was in a field Within three days working hard in a dreamlike haze I'm a zombi I have memories of another life the man I used to be before he died Now I'm just a body without a will as long as this heart is beating still I'm a zombi

Way To Go 03:21
Way to go way to go What a way to go Way to go way to go What a way to go When I die I hope I leave behind a world that thought of me as someone worth knowing if I die in a tragic light I hope there's no pain for those who dig my grave Way to go way to go What a way to go Way to go way to go What a way to go Surrounded by fire Surrounded by water Surrounded by the sun Who would believe it? Who could conceive it? Hardly anyone When I die all I leave behind all that I love will fit in a glove Way to go way to go What a way to go Way to go way to go What a way to go Surrounded by fire Surrounded by water Surrounded by the sun Who would believe it? Who could conceive it? Hardly anyone

about

The idea behind this collection is that the songs have an odd taste, but they end up being good if you like that sort of thing. I picked mostly songs that were intended for an album that was to be an homage to early 80s alternative music (in particular Ralph Records acts like Tuxedomoon, Yello, and Chrome). Then I decided I wanted to do that album later and completely changed the tracklist. Then I circled back about halfway. At that point I noticed I had chosen a lot of songs with the themes of late night, early morning, and dreams. I thought perhaps I had another concept album on my hands, but forbade myself to pursue that idea. So what we have is a collection of songs, and if you find an overall story it's completely unintended.
