PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
I've been looking so long for you now you won't get away from my grasp.
You've been living so long in hiding in hiding behind that false mask.
And you know and I know that you aint got long now to last.
Your looks and your feelings are just the remains of your past.
You're standing in the wings, there you wait for the curtain to fall.
Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all.
Yeah, I know that you're gonna scratch me, maim me and maul.
You know I'm helpless from your mesmerising cat call.
Keep your distance, walk away, don't take his bait.
Don't you stray, don't fade away.
Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may.
Don't you stray, from the narrow way.
-SOLO-
I'm running and hiding in my dreams you're always there.
You're the Phantom of the Opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare.
You damaged my mind and my soul it just floats through the air.
Haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair.
RUNNING FREE
Just sixteen, a pickup truck,
Out of money, out of luck.
I've got nowhere to call my own,
Hit the gas, and here I go.
Chorus:
I'm running free yeah, I'm running free.
I'm running free yeah, Oh I'm running free.
Spent the night in an L. A. jail,
And listened to the sirens wail.
They ain't got a thing on me,
I'm running wild, I'm running free.
Chorus
Puller here at the Bottle Top,
Whiskey, dancing, disco hop.
Now all the boys are after me,
And that's the way it's gonna be.
.25 HALLOWED BY THY NAME
I'm waiting in my cold cell, when the bell begins to chime.
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time.
'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows pole,
The sands of time for me are running low.
When the priest comes to read me the last rites,
I take a look through the bars at the last sights,
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me.
Can it be that there's some sort of error.
Hard to stop the surmounting terror.
Is it really the end, not some crazy dream?
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming,
It's not so easy to stop from screaming,
But words escape me when i try to speak.
Tears flow but why am I crying,
After all I'm not afraid of dying.
Don't I believe that there never is an end.
As the guards march me out to the courtyard,
Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you".
If there's a God then why has he let me go?
As I walk all my life drifts before me,
Though the end is near I'm still not sorry.
Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away.
Mark my words believe my soul lives on.
Don't worry now that I have gone.
I've gone beyond to see the truth.
When you know that your time is close at hand.
Maybe then you'll begin to understand,
Life down here is just a strange illusion

Gavin Harrison - Sound of Muzak
Hear the sound of music
Drifting in the aisles
Elevator Prozac
Stretching on for miles
Music of the future
Will not entertain
It's only meant to repress
And neutralize your brain
Soul gets squeezed out
Edges get blunt
Demographic
Gives what you want
One of the wonders of the world is going down
It's going down, I know
It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares
No-one cares enough
Now the sound of music
Comes in silver pills
Engineered to suit you
Building cheaper thrills
Music of rebellion
Makes you wanna rage
But it's made by millionaires
Who are nearly twice your age
Soul gets squeezed out
Edges get blunt
Demographic
Gives what you want
One of the wonders of the world is going down
It's going down, I know
It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares
No-one cares enough
One of the wonders of the world is going down
It's going down, I know
It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares
No-one cares enough
One of the wonders of the world is going down
It's going down, I know
It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares
No-one cares enough
One of the wonders of the world is going down
It's going down, I know
It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares
No-one cares enough
Arriving Somewhere But Not Here
Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize (Live)
A good impression of myself
Not much to conceal
I’m saying nothing
But I’m saying nothing with feel
I simply am not here
No way I..
Shut up, be happy
Stop whining please
And because of who we are
We react in mock surprise
The curse of there must be more”
So dont breathe here
Don´t leave your bags
I simply am not here
No way I..
Shut up, be happy
Stop whining please
The dust in my soul makes me feel the weight in my legs
My head in the clouds and I’m zoning out
I’m watching TV but I find it hard to stay conscious
I’m totally bored but I can’t switch off
Only apathy for the pills in me
It's all in me, all in you
Electricity from the pills in me
It's all in me, all in you
Only MTV and cod philosophy
We’re lost in the mall shuffling through the stores like zombies
What is the point, what can money buy
My hands on a gun and I find the rage, God tempts me
What did you say; think I´m passing out
Only apathy from the pills in me
It's all in me, all in you
Electricity from the pills in me
It's all in me, all in you
Only MTV and cod philosophy
Only apathy from the pills in me
It's all in me, all in you
Electricity from the pills in me
It's all in me, all in you
Only MTV and cod philosophy
Water so warm that day
I counted out the waves
As they broke into surf
I smiled into the sun
Water so warm that day
I was counting out the waves
And I followed the short life
As they broke on the shore line
I could see you, but I couldn’t hear you
You were holding your hat in the breeze
Turning away from me
In this moment you were stolen…
There’s black across the sun
Water so warm on that day
I counted out the waves
As they broke into surf
I smiled into the sun
Not much to conceal
I’m saying nothing
But I’m saying nothing with feel
I simply am not here
No way I..
Shut up, be happy
Stop whining please
And because of who we are
We react in mock surprise
The curse of there must be more”
So dont breathe here
Don´t leave your bags
I simply am not here
No way I..
Shut up, be happy
Stop whining please
The dust in my soul makes me feel the weight in my legs
My head in the clouds and I’m zoning out
I’m watching TV but I find it hard to stay conscious
I’m totally bored but I can’t switch off
Only apathy for the pills in me
It's all in me, all in you
Electricity from the pills in me
It's all in me, all in you

Arriving Somewhere But Not Here
Never stop the car on a drive in the darkNever look for the truth in your mother's eyes
Never trust the sound of rain upon a river
Rushing through your ears
Arriving somewhere but not here
Did you imagine the final sound as a gun?
Or the smashing windscreen of a car?
Did you ever imagine the last thing you'd hear as you're fading out was a song?
All my designs, simplified
And all of my plans, compromised
All of my dreams, sacrificed
Ever had the feeling you've been here before?
Drinking down the poison the way you were taught
Every thought from here on in your life begins
And all you knew was wrong?
Did you see the red mist block your path?
Did the scissors cut a way to your heart?
Did you feel the envy for the sons of mthers tearing you apart?

Porcupine Tree - Blackest Eyes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q51FQqPF9yA&feature=related
A mother sings a lullaby to a child
Sometime in the future the boy goes wild
And all his nerves are feeling some kind of energy
A walk in the woods and I will try
Something under the trees that made you cry
It's so erotic when your make up runs
I got wiring loose inside my head
I got books that I never ever read
I got secrets in my garden shed
I got a scar where all my urges bled
I got people underneath my bed
I got a place where all my dreams are dead
Swim with me into your blackest eyes
A few minutes with me inside my van
Should be so beautiful if we can
I'm feeling something taking over me
I got wiring loose inside my head
I got books that I never ever read
I got secrets in my garden shed
I got a scar where all my urges bled
I got people underneath my bed
I got a place where all my dreams are dead
Swim with me into your blackest eyes
I got wiring loose inside my head
I got books that I never ever read
I got secrets in my garden shed
I got a scar where all my urges bled
I got people underneath my bed
I got a place where all my dreams are dead
Swim with me into your blackest eyes

Prodigal
I don't know whose side I'm on
I don't think that I belong 'round here
If I left the stage would that be wrong?
I tried to find myself a better way
I got religion but I went astray
They took my money and I lost my faith
The rain keeps crawling down the glass
The good times never seem to last
Close your eyes and let the thought pass
I tried the capsule and I tried the smoke
I tried to aid escape like normal folk
But I never seemed to get the joke
The rain keeps crawling down the glass
The good times never seem to last
Close your eyes and let the thought
(Close your eyes and let it pass)
These [Incomprehensible]
This is [Incomprehensible]
This is [Incomprehensible]
This is my headstone
(Ahh ahh ahh)
I spend my days with all my friends
They're the ones on who my life depends
Gonna miss them when the series ends
Rain keeps crawling down the glass
(Pull yourself together)
The good times never seem to last
(You know it's not so bad)
Close your eyes and let the thought
(Close your eyes and let it pass)
These are [Incomprehensible]
This is a [Incomprehensible]
This is [Incomprehensible]
This is my headstone
(Ahh ahh ahh)
I don't think that I belong 'round here
If I left the stage would that be wrong?
I tried to find myself a better way

Sentimental
Never want to be old
And I don’t want dependence
It’s no fun to be told
That you can’t blame your parents anymore
I’m finding it hard
To hang from a star
Don’t want to be
Never want to be old
Sullen and bored the kids stay
And in this way they wish away each day…
Stoned in the mall the kids play
And in this way wish away each day…
I don’t really know
If I care what is normal
And I’ m not really sure
If the pills I’ve been taking are helping
I'm wasting my life
Hurting inside
I don’t really know
And I’m not really sure
Sullen and bored the kids stay
And in this way they wish away each day…
Stoned in the mall the kids play
And in this way wish away each day…
Sullen and bored the kids stay
And in this way they wish away each day…
Stoned in the mall the kids play
And in this way wish away each day
Porcupine Tree - Trains
Train set and match spied under the blind
Shiny and contoured the railway winds
And I've heard the sound from my cousin's bed
The hiss of the train at the railway head
Always the summers are slipping away
60 ton angel falls to the earth
A pile of old metal, radiant blur
Scars in the country, summer and her
Always the summers are slipping away
Find me a way for making it stay
When I hear the engine pass, I'm kissing you wide
The hissing subsides, I'm in luck
When the evening reaches here you're tying me up
I'm dying of love, it's okay
When I hear the engine pass, I'm kissing you wide
Hissing subsides, I'm in luck
When the evening reaches here you're tying me up
I'm dying of love, it's okay
Always the summers are slipping away
Find me a way for making it stay
Always the summers are slipping away
Always the summers are slipping away

Porcupine Tree - Shesmovedon
You move in wavesYou never retrace
Your newest craze
Straight out of the Face by the bed unread
I'm left behind
Like all the others
Some fall for you
It doesn't make much difference if they do
She changes every time you look
By summer it was all gone - now she's moved on
She called you every other day
So savour it it's all gone - now she's moved on
So for a while
Everything seemed new
Did we connect ?
Or was it all just biding time for you ?
mewithoutYou: "In a Sweater Poorly Knit"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apvKxyR6Vzs&feature=related
in a sweater poorly knit and an unsuspecting smile
little Moses drifts downstream in the Nile
a fumbling reply, an awkward rigid laugh
im carried helpless by my floating basket raft
your flavor in my mind swings back and forth between
sweeter than any wine and bitter as mustard greens
and it's light and dark as honeydew and pumpernickel bread
the trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead
go plow some other field try and forget my name
see what harvest yields and supposing i'd do the same
I planted rows of peas but by the first week of July
they should have come up to my knees but they were maybe ankle high
take the fingers from your flute to weave your colored yarns
and boil down your fruit to preserves in mason jars
and now the books are overdue and the goats are underfed
the trap i set for you seems to have caught my leg instead
you're a door without a key, a field without a fence
you made a holy fool of me and I've thanked you ever since
if she comes circling back we'll end where we'd begun
like two pennies on the train track the train crushed into one
but if i'm a crown without a king, if i'm a broken open seed
if i come without a thing, then i come with all i need
no boat out in the blue, no place to rest your head
the trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead
Sky Moves Sideways
We lost the skyline
We stepped right off the map
Drifted in to blank space
And let the clocks relapse
We laughed the rain down
Slow burn on the lawn
Ghosts across the lawn
Swallowed up the storm
Sometimes I feel like a fist
Sometimes I am the colour of air
Sometimes it's only afterwards
I find that I'm not there
In the dream dusk
We walked beside the lake
We watched the sky move sideways
And heard the evening break
Sometimes I feel like a fist
Sometimes I am the colour of air
Sometimes it's only afterwards
I find that I'm not there
in a sweater poorly knit and an unsuspecting smile
little Moses drifts downstream in the Nile
a fumbling reply, an awkward rigid laugh
im carried helpless by my floating basket raft

ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
The demon in your mind will rape you in your bed at night
The wisdom of ages, the lies and outrages concealed
Time it waits for no man
My future it is revealed
Time it waits for no man
My fate is sealed
If I cancel tomorrow the undead will thank me today
Fly in the face of your prophets I mock your morality plays
The moon is red and bleeding
The sun is burned and black
The book of life is silent
No turning back
Only the good die young
All the evil seem to live forever
Only the good die young
All the evil seem to live forever
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
Mystery madman a victim of cruel charade
Some innocent pawn in an end game one more stalemate
Is death another birthday?
A way to kiss your dreams goodbye?
Do the undead live within us
And look through our eyes?
Walking on water are miracles all you can trust
Measure your coffin does it measure up to your lust?
So I think I'll leave you
With your bishops and your guilt
So until the next time
Have a good sin
Only the good die young
All the evil seem to live forever
Only the good die young
All the evil seem to live forever
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
