Airportman Lyrics

[Verse]
He moves efficiently
Beyond security
Great opportunity awaits
Airport fluorescent
Creature of habit
Labored breathing and sallow skin
Recycled air
Moving sidewalks
Great opportunity blinks
Great opportunity blinks
Great opportunity blinks
Great opportunity blinks
Discounted
The people mover
The people mover
Discounted

Lotus Lyrics

[Intro]
Hey, hey!
Hey, hey!
 
[Verse 1]
I was hell, sarcastic silver swell
That day it rained
Tough spun, hard won, no
Ocean flower aquarium
Badlands, give a hand
Honey dip, flim flam
Hey hey, hey hey
That cat can walk like a big bad man
 
[Chorus]
So happy to show us
Oh, I ate the lotus
Say, haven't you noticed?
Oh, I ate the lotus
 
[Verse 2]
Storefront window, I reflect
Just last week I was merely heck
Tip the scale, I was hell
It picked me up, then I fell
Who's this stranger? Crowbar spine
Dot, dot, dot, and I feel fine
Let it rain, rain, rain
Bring my happy back again
 
 
[Chorus]
So happy to show us
Oh, I ate the lotus
Say, haven't you noticed?
Oh, I ate the lotus
Oh, I ate the lotus
 
[Verse 3]
Let it rain, rain, rain
Save me from myself again
Wash away my ugly sins
Opposing thumb, dorsal fin
That monkey died for my grin
Bring my happy back again
Let it rain, rain, rain
Bring my happy back again
 
[Chorus]
So happy to show us
Oh, I ate the lotus
Say haven't you noticed?
Oh, I ate the lotus
Oh, I ate the lotus
Oh, I ate the lotus
Oh, I ate the lotus

Suspicion Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now my suspicion's on the rise
I have known, I have known your kind
Please don't talk, don't make me think
Order up another drink
Let me let imagination drive
 
[Chorus]
Can't you see
I need nothing too deep
Imagination come alive
Suspicion
Tonight, I'll dream tonight
 
[Verse 2]
Listen to the devils in my ear
Tell me what, what I want to hear
You're so funny, you're so fine
You're so perfect, you're so mine
That I never had an opportunity to hide
No, I never had a chance
 
[Chorus]
Can't you see
I need nothing too deep
Imagination come alive
Suspicion
Tonight, I'll dream tonight
 
 
[Bridge]
Look into my eyes
They hypnotize, the lights, the drinks
Let the music carry you away
 
[Verse 3]
My eyes are blurred
My sights are limited
Am I sensing a familiar twinge?
 
[Chorus]
Please don't speak
Make me think
It's all too deep
Imagination
Come alive, suspicion
Step down, I'll dream tonight
Step down, I'll dream
You're so naked baby
Carry me away
Dream, dream
Carry me away
Dream, dream
Dream, dream
Dream, dream
Dream, dream

Why Not Smile Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The concrete broke your fall
To hear you speak of it
I'd have done anything
I would do anything
I feel like a cartoon brick wall
To hear you speak of it
 
[Chorus]
You've been so sad
It makes me worry
Why not smile?
You've been sad for a while
Why not smile?
 
[Verse 2]
I would do anything
To hear you speak of it
Why not smile?
 
[Outro]
You've been sad for a while
You've been sad for a while
