Track Lyrics
Trompe le Monde Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Why do cupids
And angels
Continually
Haunt her dreams like memories
Of another
Life is painted
On her shirt in capitals
[Chorus 1]
Out on the free freeway
There's only she and they represented by the lights
[Interlude]
I went to the store and bought somethin' great
Which samples the song from Washington state
[Verse 2]
Go, little record
Go, it is named
By some guy named
Joe, and the words are the letters of the words
Said, electrically
Played for outer
Space and those of they who paid
[Chorus 2]
This song is twice occurred
And now it's time to go away on holiday
Planet of Sound Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One fine day in my odd past
I picked me up a transmission
I turned the fission ignition
Went lookin' for the broadcaster
And when I first touched some ground
They simply told me to leave
Was kinda hard to believe
'Cause there was no one around
[Chorus]
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
[Verse 2]
I had a talented wine
That land of classical gas
And on the planet of glass
They send ya skippin' through time
I got to somewhere renowned
For its canals and color of red
Lots of guys who shook their heads
Rhythmically to resound
[Chorus]
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound!
This ain't the planet of sound!
This ain't the planet of sound! (This ain't the planet)
This ain't no rock and roll town! (This ain't the planet)
This ain't no fuckin' around! (This ain't the planet)
This ain't the planet of sound! (This ain't the planet)
[Outro]
I met a guy in a rover
He said it's one more over
It's just there where you're bound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound! (This ain't the planet)
This ain't the planet of sound! (This ain't the planet)
This ain't the planet of sound! (This ain't the planet)
This ain't the planet of sound! (This ain't the planet)
Alec Eiffel Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pioneer of aerodynamics (Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
They thought he was real smart Alec (Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
He thought big they called it a phallic (Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
They didn't know he was panoramic
[Bridge]
Little Eiffel stands in the archway (Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
Keepin' low doesn't make no sense
[Verse 2]
Sometimes people can be oh so dense
They didn't want it but he built it anyway (Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
Little Eiffel stands in the archway (Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
Keepin' low don't make sense, keepin' low doesn't make no-sense
(Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
Little Eiffel stands in the archway
[Outro]
Oh, Alexander, I
See you beneath the archway of aerodynamics
Oh, Alexander, I
See you beneath the archway of aerodynamics
Oh, Alexander, I
See you beneath the archway of aerodynamics
Oh, Alexander, I
See you beneath the archway of aerodynamics
Oh, Alexander, I
See you beneath the archway of aerodynamics
Oh, Alexander, I
See you beneath the archway of aerodynamics
Oh, Alexander, I
See you beneath the archway of aerodynamics
Oh, Alexander, I
See you beneath the archway of aerodynamics
The Sad Punk Lyrics
[Intro]
I smell smoke
That comes from a gun
Named extinction!
Named extinction!
Named extinction!
Named e-
[Verse 1]
It was so long ago
Coulda happened to anyone
He was struck by a bullet
And he melted into fluid
Named extinction!
Named extinction!
Named extinction!
Named e-, oh, woah!
[Interlude]
Extinction!
[Verse 2]
One thousand miles an hour
I'm just like anyone
I want to feel the road
Of tar beneath the wheel
Named extinction!
Named extinction!
Named extinction!
Named e-, woah! Woah!
[Bridge]
And evolving from the sea
Would not be too much time for me
To walk beside you in the sun
[Outro]
I read something about a
Son of a gun
Named extinction!
Extinction!
Extinction!
Head On Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As soon as I get my head around you
I come around catchin' sparks off you
I'm gettin' electric shocks from you
That secondhand livin', it just won't do
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And the way I feel tonight
I could die and I wouldn't mind
And there's something goin' on inside
[Chorus]
Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna try
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
[Post-Chorus]
And I can't stand up, I can't cool down
I can't get my head off the ground
[Verse 2]
As soon as I get my head around you
I come around catching sparks off you
And all I ever got from you
Was all I ever took from you
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Yeah, the world could die in pain
And I wouldn't feel no shame
And there's nothing holdin' me to blame
[Chorus]
Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna try
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
And I'm takin' myself to a dirty part of town
Where all my troubles can't be found
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
I'm takin' myself to a dirty part of town
Where all of my troubles can't be found
Makes you wanna feel
It makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
Subbacultcha Lyrics
[Intro]
There is something about this song
This is a song about something there
[Verse 1]
We did the clubs, what ass
I was hopin' to have her in the sack
I was lookin' handsome
She was lookin' like an erotic vulture
[Bridge 1]
I was all dressed in black, she's all dressed up in black
Everything was fine down here, what you call it here?
Call it what you will here
Way down in this subbacultcha
[Verse 2]
Her warm white belly in the life I'd lived
Had seen nothing finer
She shakes and she moves me or something
She's like jellyroll, like sculpture
[Bridge 2]
I was wearin' eyeliner, she was wearin' eyeliner
It was so good down here, savin' for my scrapbook here
Way down, down, down in this subbacultcha
[Verse 3]
Now we live on the sea and relax and ride the tack
Drug runnin' on this Panamanian schooner
[Bridge 3]
She walks the deck in a black dress, and me, I dress up in black
And we listen to the sea and look at the sky in a poetic kind of way
What you call it when you look at the sky in a poetic kind of way?
You know when you grope for luna!
