L.A. lady you always look so uninspired
when you're hanging around
living with creeps and loving with liars
and everybody knows it's true
that all you're ever gonna be is entertainment
so entertain me

you shiver when they wake up
and once more before they're gone
and even when you're sleeping baby
you're barely holding on

L.A. lady I know your feet must be so tired
from standing on a corner stomping out cigarettes like they were
fires
the daughter of a thousand men
you've got your mothers eyes and whorish skin
you're a train wreck
but that's entertainment

you shiver when they wake up
and once more before they're gone
and even when you're sleeping baby you're barely holding on
so throw your skin back in your clothes
and wipe the blood running from your nose
'cause if the price is right tonight anything goes
too many lines, one too many times
you're sharing the same vein
with your stage name
but it never quite feels the same
it never quite feels the same
I said, it never quite feels the same

you shiver when they wake up
and once more before they're gone
and even when you're sleeping baby you're barely holding on
so throw your skin back in your clothes
and wipe the blood running from your nose
'cause if the price is right tonight anything goes
too many lines, one too many times
you're sharing the same vein
with your stage name
but it never quite feels the same
it never quite feels the same


2.Dirty Leaves

I never wanted to admit to this but my love wasn't true
I rescue the lonely because i'm lonely too
And the way you smile the way you laugh
Reminds me of myself
Before i fell apart like a drug infected heart
All along in a city by the sea
Dirty leaves fall around
All alone and suddenly it seems
Dirty leaves fall for you and me
I never wanted your heart to break
But we still knew it would
Impossible to save
But did when i could
I replaced your tears your loneliness with cigarettes and wine
But you needed more and we ran out of time
Now your love is gone
All all alone in the city by the sea
Dirty leaves fall all around
And suddenly it seems
Dirty leaves fall for you and me
And once again i'm torn between saving you or saving me
That's why i begged you not to stay
Any longer than you should
Because i always knew you would
And now it builds more every day
Until you're just an object in my way
Choking on the words i never wanted you to say
All all alone in the city by the sea
Dirty leaves fall all around
And suddenly it seems
Dirty leaves fall for you and me


3.Ship High In Transit

作詞:Matt Caughthran, Joby J. Ford, Jorma Vik

I believe I'm only human
And I will rip and I will ruin
And I believe nothing can stop me
No way, no God, no army

And I believe my premonition
No desire, no position
No time left for wishful thinking
'Cause we're not strong, their clock keeps ticking

I can see in the end there's nothing
Don't hold your breath 'cause no one's coming
That's why I never look over my shoulder

Even the sun gets boring
We need the children's stories
Everybody wake up, don't say it's over

Be free, be blessed
Get more, give less

I believe I am a target
And I believe I'm a target market
And I believe the bottle's drinking
I'll never make it, but at least I tried

I can see in the end there's nothing
Don't hold your breath 'cause no one's coming
That's why I never look over my shoulder

Even the sun gets boring
We need the children's stories
When they finally wake up, they'll say it's over

Fly, fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly


4.Knifeman

作詞:Matt Caughthran, Joby J. Ford, James Tweedy, Jorma Vik

I want to be original
I want to be surrounded by art
But everything is digital
The formulas are falling apart

They riot in the streets
Because there's not enough money to share
Is the burden of fame
Just a universal cross we can bear?

But out here on the border line
You've got to hold it together
You've been deprived of dedication
You've been condemned by your dreams

Is it as bad as it seems?
And can you pull the hook from your mouth?
Do you want to feel the breeze
Before the air you breathe finally runs out?

We're divided it seems
This is a diary of life in-between
This is obese and obscene
This isn't music, it's a pyramid scheme, oh

But out here on the border line
You've got to hold it together
You've been deprived of dedication
You've been condemned by your dreams

And out here on the border line
It feels a lot like forever
We'll all be damned if this machine
Turns life into routine

Thieves have taken the crown
Melted it down, kept it in near the ground
Now they're praying for sound

And I don't know what's found
'Cause we used to be gifted and persistent
Now we're bored, reminiscent
We used to laugh without misery
Spoon fed out desire, we've lost our fire

And now they won't remember our names
Our days are mixed in the crowd
And our nights are spent fed in the flames

But out here on the border line
You've got to hold it together
You've been deprived of dedication
You've been condemned by your dreams

But oh, out here on the border line
It feels a lot like forever
We'll all be damned if this machine
Turns out into a routine

Thieves have taken the crown
And have they melted it down?
Thieves have taken the crown
And now they're praying for sound


5.Enemy Mind

作詞:Matt Caughthran, Joby J. Ford, James Tweedy, Jorma Vik

Enemy mind, take my dead hand
And restore my heart
Nothing is free but you're perfect for me
Could you make me smart?

Wired, you're so wired
Tired, I'm so tired

Enemy mind, take my dead mind
And turn back time
Please prey to my wealth, keep some for yourself
'Cause the blame's all mine

Wired, and I'm so wired
Tired, but I look so tired

Enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind, now

Enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind, now

Enemy mind, make your last dance
Disguise your flaws, cover your tracks
So when history looks back
We only hear applause

Out of the way
He's got something to say
You just get out of the way
He's got something he needs to say

Fire, there's so much fire
Staring, oh, we can't stop staring, oh

Enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind, now

Enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind, now

One mind pulled
In four different directions
One mind pulled
In four different directions, yeah

Wired, and I'm so wired

Enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind, now

Enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind, now

Enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind
Let me speak my enemy mind, now


6.Young Bloods

作詞:Matt Caughthran, Joby J. Ford, James Tweedy, Jorma Vik

Well, I'm amazed how well you handle defeat for a rookie
So lay back and just continue to sleep
We'll come wake you when they're long gone
I solemnly swear to compete in the world if nothing is ever
atoned

Oh, young blood if given the chance spit fire
Young blood destroy the old empire

Well, I'm amazed the way you handle the press like a veteran
The flies will swarm and bees will crowd for incest
They want to document all your time
I solemnly swear to compete in the world if nothing is ever
atoned

Oh, young blood if given the chance spit fire
Young blood destroy the old empire
Young blood if given the chance spit fire
Young blood empires fade so hold on to the money that you made

Long gone
I solemnly swear to compete in the world if nothing is ever
atoned

Oh, young blood if given the chance spit fire
Young blood destroy the old empire
Young blood if given the chance spit fire
Young blood if given the choice never let them silence your
voice


7.Inveigh

作詞:Matt Caughthran, Joby J. Ford, James Tweedy, Jorma Vik

If I'm wrong, I don't care
When I'm right, I will be programmed and compared
If I crash, if I fail, I'll be waiting for you deep in hell
Well, it's the loneliest place to go
A loneliest place to hide

Look at us now, up in the sky
We went and taught ourselves to fly

Parasites sell advice
And the weak will never trust what they've become
They're most safely and perfectly them
Kissing 'cause they never fight
They fist and they fuck through the night

Look at them now, up in the sky
They went and taught themselves to die

We won't be paragraphed by silence
And we won't be hidden by the phone
We may appear soundtracked by violence
And we may appear as barking dogs
Nothing is wrong, we are impossibly strong

Gather your strength, believe everything you say
Never break down, follow or blindly obey, repay
Look at us now, up in your skies

We taught ourselves
We taught ourselves
We taught ourselves
We taught ourselves to fly


8.Past Lives

作詞:Matt Caughthran, Joby J. Ford, James Tweedy, Jorma Vik

Think fast
Or you'll never survive
You feel the whiplash
If all the cities divide, oh

Make heroes that could barely exist
I'm running from your mouth
And the hammer and fist
Lead the way, I got a brain to resist and define

And all I know is I threw myself into the wind
Felt my body begin to curl
Or Maybe in the next life
Or maybe in another world

Well, it's impossible to figure out
'Cause everything's subliminal
Or maybe in the next life
I'll be a hero, not a criminal

A new world on the tip of my tongue
It doesn't break down
Or admit when it's wrong
But day breaks and the cities divide

My body just can't help
Feeling incomplete and unknown
A new ghost in a old home
Parallel and paralyzed

And I threw myself into the wind
Felt my body begin to curl
And maybe in the next life
No, maybe in another world

Well, it's impossible to figure out
'Cause everything's subliminal
Maybe in the next life
I'll be a hero, not a criminal

And now that everything's a drag
I'm no longer nervous and I don't feel no pain
And when I die before my time
Please say my body gave up before my mind +

Another city divides
Another city divides
Another city divides
Parallel and paralyzed

Past lives and other worlds
When the sick sets through
Everyone and everything you knew
You can't help feeling completely alone

I threw myself into the wind
Felt my body begin to curl
Maybe in the next life
No, maybe in another world

It's impossible to figure out
'Cause everything's subliminal
Or maybe in the next life
I'll be a hero and not a criminal


9.Pleasure Seekers

作詞:Matt Caughthran, Joby J. Ford, James Tweedy, Jorma Vik

Women, get up
It's time to live a little, it's time to lighten it up
Limousines, yes
Could you please wear a shorter dress?
Compromise, no
It's time to live a little, it's time to let it all go

And I hope you don't care how we feel out there
And I hope you don't know what we're talking about
I don't even bother to stay, already on my way

Women, give up
Destroy the evidence, even police are corrupt
Money's fine, yes
We will settle for nothing less
Compromise, no
This time we'll stand, we'll never, we gotta let it all go

And I hope you don't care, how we feel out there
And I hope you don't know
Well

All we really want is someone to ignore us
'Cause all we ever get are people who control at us
So please watch what you say in this conversation
'Cause desperation is our inspiration

Yeah, why do we even bother to say
We should be on our way now
Now, now, now

All we want is for someone to ignore us
'Cause I'll we ever get are people who control at us
Please watch what you say in this conversation
Because desperation is our inspiration


10.Minutes In Night

作詞:Matt Caughthran, Joby J. Ford, Vincent Hidalgo, Ken Horne,
Brad Magers, Jorma Vik

Live for the moment as fast as you can
Before that moment slips right
Through the palm of your hand

Punished and permanently home
Held hostage over the phone

Whether you're in for the night
Or in for a minute
You will be buried in it

If I ever get the time to control my laughter
Much to everyone's surprise, I will kill my master

Middle-east summer here in L.A.
No explanation and no one can get out of the way
Punish and cherish what is left
Shock and suspense at it's best

Whether you're in for the night
Or in for a minute
You will be buried in it

If I ever get the time to control my laughter
Much to everyone's surprise, I will kill my master
If I ever get the time to control my laughter
Much to everyone's surprise, I will kill my master

We are men of many faces
Disguises and disgraces
When problems come our way
We just throw them all away

If I ever get the time to control my laughter
Much to everyone's surprise, I will kill my master
And if I ever get the time to control my laughter
Much to everyone's surprise, I will kill my master
Kill my master, kill my master, kill my master


11.Six Days A Week

I needed shelter
More than anything else
I wanted to help her
From destroying herself

I don't speak on money
When I'm over the line
And I don't dwell on death much
But it crosses my mind, oh

Make no mistake
There's a real thin line between crime and suicide

Oh, I knew I was loaded
I knew it was clean
Until it exploded
All over the scene

And now out on the freeways
Now I'm wired all of the time
I don't dwell on death much
But it crosses my mind

Make no mistake
There's a real thin line between crime and suicide

Six days a week
I feel the payment comin'
Six days no sleep
I keep my eyes wide open

Six days a week
I feel the payment comin'
Six days no sleep
I keep my eyes wide open

And now out on the freeways
Now I'm wired all of the time
And now I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind

Six days a week
I feel the payment comin'
Six days no sleep
I keep my eyes wide open

Six days a week
I feel the payment comin'
Six days no sleep
I keep my eyes wide open

'Cause there's a real thin line between crime and suicide
