1.	Inside Outside 01:30	lyrics	buy track
I've started something I can't stop I've started something I can't control anymore It's taken hold of all I've got I've crossed the point of no return long ago And now I'm turning away again And there is no one for me to blame We'll start all over but it'll never be the same Inside Outside I'll start all over but It'll never be the same.
2.	Lost and Found 03:51	lyrics	buy track
Crocodile tears running down a frozen face Tight skin and cold hands A lose-lose situation on a winning streak The most obvious suspect - well it must be the freak And if it looks too good to be true it probably is So I'm heading east It feels too good to be true, it probably is The east is heading me Wasting time waiting for a train My feet are cold and my heart is in pain And there's memory that still remains And a vague longing that I won't explain And if it looks too good to be true it probably is So I'm heading east It feels too good to be true, it probably is The east is heading me A life of safety A paranoid delusion I ask the right questions But nobody answers And freedom is just another fight That I've lost and found I follow my instincts They yet have to fail me There are no mistakes Just three sides to every coin But if it looks too good to be true it probably is So I'm heading east It feels too good to be true, it probably is The east is heading me
3.	Glowing 03:07	lyrics	buy track
It's glowing on the garden It's glowing on the bridge It's glowing, people passing by And teardrops freeze It glows in two directions Encrypted end to end Uncontrollable radiation The moon is red I wanna be born again 'Cause you don't see this kind of kissing on the street anymore I wanna be born again And when you bargain you might get a better deal or none at all And when the glowing started Most people stood and stared And though they knew it lasted They didn't seem to care The freezing cold around it Won't stop it shining through On the bridge and on the garden On me and you I wanna be born again 'Cause you don't see this kind of kissing on the street anymore I wanna be born again And when you bargain you might get a better deal or none at all
4.	Animal 03:37	lyrics	buy track
I've got an animal in me You let it out I've got an animal in me You let it out And I can watch and listen as you open up the doors And it's the same on your end, never been this way before You've got an animal in you You let it out And I love women with guitars And I love women with guitars I've got an animal in me You let it out I've got an animal in me You let it out And you're addictive and your music echoes in my head As pain and pleasure dwell on moments better left unsaid You've got an animal in you You let it out And I love women with guitars And I love women with guitars An animal in you An animal in me An animal in me I've got an animal in me An animal in you An animal in me I've got an animal in you An animal in me I've got an animal in me You let it out
5.	Liberal Theocracy 02:21	lyrics	buy track
I grew up in a liberal theocracy Where religion meant more than nationality And complex delusions of ethnicity were all around Distorted versions of history Blood thirsty media confusing me And I took most of it for granted just like everyone else But power corrupts, nationalism blinds And for religion I have no words Together they turned my home into hell So I guess I won't be going back to Israel And don't you know we're never wrong So if you don't like what we do It's 'cause you're obsessed with your hate for us And don't you know we must be that strong And when we act in self-defense The death ratio is a hundred to one 'Cause power corrupts, nationalism blinds And for religion I have no words Together they turned my home into hell So I guess I won't be going back to Israel The destructive arrogance was written in our plans We're plain old colonists, somewhat late Clumsily trying to hide the blood on our hands But there's too much blood now Who's gonna believe us now anyway 'Cause power corrupts, nationalism blinds And for religion I have no words Together they turned my home into hell So I guess I won't be going back to Israel
6.	Too Kind 02:11	lyrics	buy track
She's like beans on a string I fell in love when I saw her sing Her flowers smell of summer dreams I go to sleep with winter winds Her smile reminds me of the time When all I felt was kept inside I'll let it out now like she does See me break for a love that passed For a love that passed Let's act as if nothing happened We're both blessed with solid defenses Let's pretend nothing could ever change Let's pretend we're teenage pretenders Been looking for that teenage kick You gave me one right in the teeth But recovery was swift And recovery was sweet It takes so little to feel so much And metaphors are signs Either of creativity or of something to hide something to hide something to hide Let's act as if nothing happened We're both blessed with solid defenses Let's pretend nothing could ever change Let's pretend we're teenage pretenders Pretending to be adult offenders But if you thank me again I'll have to spank you one more time I'm too kind, you're too polite No, I'm too kind and you're too polite I said I'm too kind, you're too polite I'm too kind, you're too polite I'm too kind and you're too polite Too polite Too polite
7.	Eagerness 04:20	lyrics	buy track
Kiss me goodbye Your lips on my lips I couldn't believe it then But will it ever happen again? All I remember is that one kiss Because it was you Your name is solid for the rest of my life Just a tiny little start made it through to my heart Maybe you shouldn't have We were too young, I was too eager It's all so far away So come and say it's not true Come and be the real you Come and let's do it again Come and say it's not true Come and be the real you Come and let's do it again When you're on your own you the real self The one I know Well it's just you and me It's to be or not to be Your lips on mine, oh it struck me again Like one more bullet going straight through my vains So come and say it's not true Come and be the real you Come and let's do it again Come and say it's not true Come and be the real you Come and let's do it again It's the craziest thing Because it's the vaguest thing But it's so real and so natural When all I can remember is that one kiss So come and say it's not true Come and be the real you Come and let's do it again Come and say it's not true Come and be the real you Come and let's do it again Come and say it's not true Come and be the real you Come and let's do it again Come and say it's not true Come and be the real you
