Just Work, No Play We hear you say First you’re gonna work then play We won't obey 'Cause every time we try, we change the game So go But let's not grow old I want to stay 'Cause everything that can might go away It might go away It might go away So we won't work, but play all day you can't get the best of me We will rise, dance all night you can have the rest of me Just work, no play, will make not only the kids go crazy We hear you say The kids are gonna have it their own way Don't you know Everything that can might go on Let’s go Let's not go home We want to sway 'Cause everything that can might fade away So we won't work, but play all day you can't get the best of me We will rise, dance all night you can have the rest of me Just work, no play, will make not only the kids go crazy I go crazy We were told There is nothing to worry about I would like to say it out loud I go crazy So we won't work, but play all day you can't get the best of me We will rise, dance all night you can have the rest of me Just work, no play, will make not only the kids go crazy Just work, no play, will make not only the kids go crazy Just work, no play, just work, no play, will make me go crazy I go crazy

Monsters 03:43
I take the hint but I won’t let go Leaving them dancing all alone Everyone dies, nobody cares It’s a hell of a night, so I won’t be there Can’t uncover all of my skin So we will meet when we will I’m going under I’m not waiting And this is true I hide from you This is what I wanna do I leave all, all ashore I’m diving deeper to be gone This is what I choose Won’t follow you You go on, I go down One by one is turning sour I’m scared of the rain and I’m scared of the dark I’m scared of the hate and I’m scared of the park Everyone’s dancing but nobody tries Guess it’s dangerous tonight I’m going under See I’m raging And this is true I hide from you This is what I wanna do I leave all, all ashore I’m diving deeper to be gone This is what I choose Won’t follow you All I do is begging you All I do is barely of use Hold on to my baby blue I hide from you This is what I wanna do I leave all, all ashore So I dive down alone Oh, I fear you the most This is what I wanna do If it’s all, then I can go down on my own This is what I choose Won’t follow This is what I do All the monsters come out to play

Daffodils 03:45
I pick up all the white daffodils I picture you We still act younger than we really are Power fail restart I’ve chosen all the right remedies I handpicked you I left you standing here in dizzy heights but I remain aloof Lighten up It’s so easy boy my hands are shaking I pick you up ‘cause I’m good Crazy how your hazy days my precious darling turn you into someone new But for whom? So I thought you’ll catch up with me No need to excuse ‘cause I live at ease with or without you Lighten up It’s so easy boy my hands are shaking I pick you up ‘cause I’m good Crazy how your hazy days my precious darling turn you into someone new But for whom? You come around, when I go down, down, down You stick around, wearing a crown, crown, crown What do you say? Let’s break the barricades We’re never safe It’s now or never I’ve chosen all the right remedies I pictured you You might as well catch up with me I’d still remain aloof Lighten up It’s so easy boy my hands are shaking I pick you up ‘cause I’m good Crazy how your hazy days my precious darling turn you into someone new But for whom? How can I go, when all I know is how to stay in How should I hang on, when all I know is how to give in I speak up now, Fly high, ready to go I'd like to go now, that's all I know

Take me under Take me down now Take me to drown in sounds that I have heard before You cannot touch me any longer You can go wash your eyes That’s what you’re dreaming of You cannot follow my moves You can blame it on the groove Oh you! You cannot catch me! You cannot catch me! And I will never tell anyone about it And I will never tell anyone about You and I meet the great unknown You and I we stay at home We never ever want to go out Pull me under Pull me down now Push me to feel the ground that I hit before You cannot hold me any longer You cannot stand the ground that I am walking on But you can follow with looks and you can thank me for the good Oh you! You cannot touch me! You cannot touch me! And they can never know never know about it And they can never know never know about You and I meet the great unknown You and I we stay at home We never ever want to go out Turn around! Make a sound! Turn around! My long forgotten… You can’t hug me You can’t own me And I will never be yours When you had me we were spinning How could I ever forget? How could I ever forget? You can’t hug me You can’t own me And I will never be yours Reminiscing For no reason ‘Cause it can never be all ‘Cause it can never be all You and I meet the great unknown You and I we don’t care where they go You and I meet the great unknown You and I we stay at home We never ever want to go out You don’t own me!

Run 03:42
Taisez vous! C’en est trop! Talking to you Pardon my French You are so messed up, it’s the noise in your head We’ll get through this relentless track I am sounding the alarm We’re gonna gonna make things hum You take what you take, so you got a lot of space to do what you do You don’t even have a clue Oh you do? Manic you! You should be on the run run run run run! Citing so called human rights, aren’t you? Deaf, dumb and blind you say But can’t see the irony It’s right there to see You’re so tied up with the power that you’ve got Leaning back Attempt the next attack Your charm is doing harm We’re gonna gonna make things hum You take what you take, so you got a lot of space to do what you do You don’t even have a clue Oh you do? Manic you! You should be on the run run run run now! Parts of you are taking over I refuse to chew what you can offer Watching you You’re taking over You fucking take what you take, so you got a lot of space to do what you do You don’t even have a clue Oh you do? Manic you! You should be on the run! You hate what you hate, and don’t even care to break what you break with a head-on collision But what you do, stupid you, I could be having fun now! You take what you take, so you got a lot of space to do what you do You don’t even have a clue Oh you do? Manic you! You should be on the run run run run run! Run run run run run!

The Rush 03:02
Light-headed, no second try Where are we headed to? Gray blends with green, the sky falls down on me Now, we are ready to go Shut the door and buckle up! You compete with the thunder (We will never stop) Driving fast like no other (We will never stop) Step on the brake? I’m asking you all Is there a reason to? Can’t understand a thing you say I come along to feel the heat If you still want to, we can do it, we can do it Now passing by recklessly Shut the door and buckle up! You compete with the thunder (We will never stop) Driving fast like no other (We will never stop) Step on the brake? I’m asking you all Is there a reason to? You feel (Changing lanes) the rush (Better speed up) Driving into the wrong direction Choosing the fast lane Driving into the wrong direction (The rush) You compete with the thunder (We will never stop) Driving fast like no other (We will never stop) Step on the brake? I’m asking you all Is there a reason to?

Wave you goodbye Make-believe I don’t know why You stay another night Because we want to Rivers overflow Some of us got to go You and I move on Because we want to Deaf to what I once knew I thought everybody else did it too Guess you got me good So you sink in The night just paused You set the alarm Because we want to Tell me right from wrong One of us is doing harm We say we have it all Because we want to Deaf to what I once knew I thought everybody else did it too Guess you got me good At speed of light you pass me by Everyone is wondering if everything is wandering like you do Come with me I make you see I never really wanted to I never really wanted to What I want? I never never never knew Wave you goodbye Make-believe I don’t know why You stay one last night Because we want to Rivers can be crossed Hold your breath at any cost Slowly out of sight Because we want to Deaf to what I once knew I thought everybody else did it too Guess you got me good At speed of light you pass me by Everyone is wondering if everything is wandering like you do Come with me I make you see I never really wanted to I never really wanted to What I want? I never never never knew If you want to stay up until midnight If you want we can stay up all night If you want to stay up until midnight I do it too If you want to stay up until midnight If you want we can stay up all night If you want to stay up until midnight I do it, I do it, I do it

Asleep 03:19
Search and control the dark Light up a candle, oh spark Beacon – I'm following you All dark matter, oh beating heart Inconceivably huge Still spinning, still drifting in We have been far apart but asleep Even clouds of dust obscure the source of light – still it's radiant Even darkest walls adhere to a time frame – you crave for more Inconceivably huge Still spinning, still drifting in We have been far apart but I sleep Inconceivably huge Still spinning, still drifting in We have been far apart like stars You‘re crashing in and I accept to expand at your expense I will explore the space within if darkness sets in What a great view!

Songbirds 03:37
Oh breathe in Oh breathe in all sweet moments when you called me love Breathe in then begin to wonder where they sit and sing And I try Shake it down and out before you ring Well especially those moments I’ll miss Wake up to the margins drawn by you Oh my head, another state of mind I gaze into the magic that you use All I want is to fly Breathe out Breathe out every moment when I thought I loved you Breathe in then begin to wonder where they sit and sing And I try Shake it down and out before you ring Well especially those moments I’ll miss Wake up to the margins drawn by you Oh my head another state of mind I gaze into the magic that you use All I want is to fly Chasing you down the hall I am freezing, how could you stop me now Climbing the wall alone You try to understand what it meant If you wanna try to be an old biting dog go on, try before you will explode Wake up to the margins drawn by you Oh my head another state of mind I gaze into the magic that you use All I want is to fly Shake it down and out before you ring Well, finally those songbirds I see

Stay with me Together we run better aimlessly While I sing my lungs burst All long gone surround me My heartbeat’s stronger Command: try My limbs stretch out Intent: to move, oh my Take me to where flowers grow It’s amazing how you can pull me through It’s tearing me apart What a loop You can pull me Take me to where flowers grow You can hold me if you’d like to now Come meet me Come meet me here at noon You can pull me through It’s all you do Feel the breeze touching your eyes Feel your rhythm close to mine Drag your feet Stop where you are Seems daunting My heartbeat’s stronger Command: try My limbs stretch out Intent: to move, oh my Take me to where flowers grow It’s amazing how you can pull me through It’s tearing me apart What a loop You can pull me Take me to where flowers grow You can hold me if you’d like to now Come meet me Come meet me here at noon You can pull me through It’s all you do Shouldn’t be here I am aching Countless footsteps ahead of me Fingerprints so slowly fading Cover all tracks left of me All I do I’d do it all Oh I do I do Take me to where flowers grow It’s amazing how you can pull me through It’s tearing me apart What a loop You can pull me Take me to where flowers grow You can hold me if you’d like to now Come meet me Come meet me here at noon You can pull me through Would you? My long forgotten you My long forgotten sacred body moves (It’s amazing how you can pull me through)
