DO IT IN THE DARK If you want to get rich in this country You’re going to have to do it in the dark If you want to tell lies in this country You’re going to have to do it with all your heart In this country we do it in the dark In this country, turn off the light If there’s someone you want dead in this country Couldn’t have come to a better place If you need to vanish in this country Nothing’s easier than to change your face Turn out the light Do it in the dark

FICTION FACTORY Breaking necks, the clockwork crush Dreams track driven, uniforms on Oil, alloys, and steam and gas Turn from light and the pressure cracks Heart beating – broken Home coming – rented Brain thinking – invented It’s a fiction factory - oh yes – fiction factory The wait, daylong never late Token power to gain the gifts Meals in queues, look to the gate Turn again, will the time ever shift?
3.
STEADY EDDIE STEADY Hero stream across the pages, Bewildered friends fall in your wake Madman’s deadline got to make it Got to make it through somehow Steady Eddie steady is this the only way out Eddie hold the gun steady Gun barrel trembling, gun barrel trembling in your mouth Found you out on a railroad track Your eyes burned out speed black You made it through that final door Nobody’s ever gonna drag you back Terminate!
4.
EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL Emotional blackmail, I love you so, Emotional blackmail, it’s all we know Emotional blackmail, I’ll never leave Tied up, screwed down, Tell me what happens when we don’t make our pay-offs Mutual agreements, deadlines and payments It’s blackmail Emotional blackmail, there’s no release Emotional blackmail. we do it with ease Emotional blackmail, bleeds us dry Emotional blackmail, deadlock, stalemate We call the tune but what a price we play

Bad Move 04:21
BAD MOVE Bad moves, no room to move Too much too slow too soon No room to move, bad moves No, no, no, no, no, no – bad move Bad moves, no room to move A cuckoo in the nest No room to move, bad moves

Let Go 03:03
LET GO Say you want to leave me, do you think I care? Hate the games that you play, loaded dice ain’t fair Think that I have no style, how could you ever know Only thing that you did was to let me go If you got your woman, tied down If you got your blue car, won’t start Tell you what to do now, let go Before it goes too far, get smart Standing in the shadows, unseen I’m the catcher man, that’s me And anything you let go, let go I’m gonna catch it if I can You’ll see I don’t want your nearness, no sick loving sigh Won’t rely on you now, my pride is my pride Hear your friends in alcoves rehearse their lies in rhyme Only thing that I did was to waste my time.
