LYRICS

The Fatman of Manhattan
the fatman falls through the morning sky
sublime swan dive of 235
bird of prey, enola gay
no words to say what you did today

what did you do doctor what have you done
y'all ran a race nobody won

the gadget was made by a mind at play
it fell to earth in a milky way
where gentle men of well dressed nations
raised their glasses to detonation

what did you do doctor what have you done
y'all had a race nobody won

oh my good god

the fatman of manhattan fell straight and true
left us all with a westernised view
what luck for rulers men dont think
death from above
reactions in sync

Lemonade
for all the times i let you down
for all the times i lied to your eyes
for all the times i would have let you drown
in all those tears i made you cry

and just when i think
there's no way i could sink
any lower than i am
there i go

there was only so much lemonade
she was willing to make
before the exit became clear, was made
only so much she could take

and just when i think
there's no way i could sink
any lower than i am
there i go
dare i go

Carnevil
the city, she teems with
drunk-ass souls
where lowlives in high heels
suck seed their goals
away from their courses
theyre led by the stars
feeling resplendent
ablaze in the dark

roll up, roll up

the clothes in with the claws out
its no wonder
bally-hoo drew you in
and tore you asunder

roll up, roll up

Lullaby
when that kind sleep doth refuse to come
nor creeping nor leaping nor beating the sun
mine eyes are closed but the brain is inflamed
burn midnight oil, the hour strikes again
with a quiver, i whisper, deliver, release the strain

to and fro do i toss, by this bed i am lost
i fear not the dark only the in-coverable cost
quietus, tranquilize
appease my aching eyes
and prey, do delay, just today, the sun and its rise

what awkward state is this
i implore, find me sleep by sandman kiss
to wake alive crying tears of bliss
i pray be this the last night of my lullaby

Jump Ship Bob
this castle is fortified
mechanical mistress
heaven sent but look at this mess
and lest you forget
this debt was yours

so jump ship bob,
go on jump ship
jump ship bob, go on
be gone

sitting and thinking
fourty fathoms and sinking
jetison a better person
like you but a better version
with a distance between us all
to break my fall

jump ship bob, just jump
jump ship
jump ship bob, go on
be gone and jump ship

if mums the word
the sentence never ends
breaking down the lines
sometimes gives me the bends
a thousand mile phone call
be the distance between us all

jump ship bob, just jump
jump ship
jump ship bob, go on
be gone and jump ship
go on jump ship
bob has jumped ship gone

like you
but a better version

Formule
all this deceit
in such a pretty room
well it turns my heart on
makes it swell like a balloon
and i realised much too soon

it loves to concern me
it loves to truly burn me

and with all this distress
when her dress is the dress
of a china shepardess
well i maybe a mess

but i love you
and im always
thinking of you

now i ask just one thing
tell me now do you want me

there's a monster in my closet
and he has nothing to wear
so that you can clearly see him
as i see him everywhere

i go i feel as though my soul's on show
i do not know where t' go when i feel alone
if i remain unnamed somethings never change
but low and behold
im held and im told

now i ask just one thing

tell me now
do you want me
tell me now
wont you be my friend
tell me true
when i speak to you
tell me how
you intend
to pretend

ProEvo
all but the will to mate we eradicate. we trade.
in attempts vein to alleviate
the weight of that which is not there

all but the need to breed we left up in the trees
we walked out of the seas. and everything since
a monument
a testament
a physical sense

all but the will to mate
all but the need to breed
we trade. in attempts vein
to alleviate the weight
to replace the space
to avoid a void
of being alone, disconnected
and doomed
