Fragile 04:32
When you smile When a beer hits my throat When the numbers all add up When I give it all that I got When I kiss you When I think that the world will be alright Fragile The mind can go its own way Fragile On those days it doesn't matter what you say When you cry When a fly hits my throat When the numbers don't add up When I just can't give anymore When I miss you When I know that the world won't be alright Fragile The mind can go its own way Fragile On those days it doesn't matter what you say Noone cries No feelings at all The numbers all dissolved There is not enough of me left To miss you at all Nothing's ever gonna be alright Fragile The mind can go its own way Fragile On those days it doesn't matter what you say

Yamanote 04:29
Uchi mawari Soto mawari Yamanote baby baby Uchi mawari Soto mawari Yamanote baby baby Homeless guy with Chuu Hai Schoolgirls with skirts so high PSP otaku looking out of the corner of his eye Fighting for the end seat Salaryman incomplete The wall of keitai ever growing Tells us what we already know Tells us what we already know We are not connected We are more alone We are more alone Uchi mawari Soto mawari Yamanote baby baby Swapping influenza Pornographic manga Finish your mascara because mamonaku Shibuya Pretty girls with posh bags Crazy boots and fancy rags The wall of keitai ever glowing Tells us what we already know Tells us what we already know We are not connected We are more alone We are more alone We are not connected We are more alone We are more alone Uchi mawari Soto mawari Yamanote baby baby Kimono, geta and fan Don't mess with the Obasan You know you've got to Ebisu when your dreams are all of The Third Man Sleeping on my shoulder Every lap makes you older The wall of keitai ever growing Tells us what we already know Tells us what we already know We are not connected We are more alone We are more alone Going round and round...

Made in your image Reason for your wars Keep men kings and women whores Floating above the Earth in paradise If you say sorry For every little vice Step back in time They could imagine nothing else What could they see Beyond a picture of themselves Living as labels Mark whoʼs in or out Character donʼt get a shout Do you really believe it? Or just playing by the rules? There really are no greater fools Step back in time They could imagine nothing else What could they see Beyond a picture of themselves Why canʼt you see When you open your eyes That natureʼs glorious canvas Was never touched by A megalomaniacʼs paintbrush Step back in time They could imagine nothing else What could they see Beyond a picture of themselves Why canʼt you see When you open your eyes That natureʼs glorious canvas Was never touched by A megalomaniacʼs paintbrush

Subsidy 03:46
I think I've been out of it for so long I forgot what it's like So long of never riding solo With you always by me holding me tight If I ever was without you I'd be lost in the dark There's nothing that you need to hear There's nothing that you need to fear You subsidize me In everything I do You energize me You clean up all my rules You hypnotize me You drag me to the top And I just can't always find the right words But I'm singing it right now for everybody Tokyo city nights My soul burns neon bright Adrenaline tight Sometimes you're out of sight Some days I like to ponder What you do on your own Do you have a secret place you go A sanctuary where your all your dreams have grown I think your other reality Is fantasy free Its a place I really want to see Its a place I really want to be You subsidize me In everything I do You energize me You clean up all my rules You hypnotize me You drag me to the top And I just can't always find the right words But I'm singing it right now for everybody Tokyo city nights My soul burns neon bright Adrenaline tight Sometimes you're out of sight I take my steps toward the darkness as the alcohol flows Pursed lips and a sideways glance And I know this is how it always goes The path reaching out before me only leads to my past I don't wanna walk that line No matter how much it shines You subsidize me In everything I do You energize me You clean up all my rules You hypnotize me You drag me to the top And I just can't always find the right words But I'm singing it right now for everybody Tokyo city nights My soul burns neon bright Adrenaline tight Sometimes you're out of sight

My constant quarry my identity Should I say or is it said? Behind a curtain really who knows me? Once so sad inside Once so glad inside What if Holy Water fell on me? Would I simply melt away? Just religious homeopathy Once so sad inside Once so glad inside Still undefined Light or dark it's not the one that you thought Would you like to role again? You'll be surprised but its the one, the one that you need Still so sad inside Still so glad inside Still undefined

When your world is falling down When the scrapers start to sway When the waves are falling Falling from the sky When you're twisted inside out Cause she might not be ok And the waves are falling Falling from the sky What you know and What you don't know When you can't see What you can't think And you can see waves are Falling from the sky So many lost So many hurt The tears are falling on The towns that turned to dirt But then the fight The will to live The need to try With hope to give The best of humanity. So many lost So many hurt The tears are falling on The towns that turned to dirt But then the fight The will to live The need to try With hope to give The best of humanity The suited leaders stand and bow Making promises of how They'll build it all again Their hollow words just washed away The money went another way You realise they'll never Build it all again What you know and What you don't know When you can't see What you can't think And you can see waves are Falling from the sky So many lost So many hurt The tears are falling on The towns that turned to dirt But then the fight The will to live The need to try

How do you feel, when you peel back the skin? Is the hurt so deep that you will never let me look back in. Putting out that fire will take all you got within, But it's time, time, time. That quilted corner is where you lie alone. The songs you once adored now leave you dry, dry as bone. Your only salvation will never bring you home. But it is time, time, time. What do you see when you look inside my soul. Realisation that you could never ever make me whole. The ties that held you bound will lift you to your goal. Put your heart in line. You'll never be mine. The others burned you I thought once too many times I stood and watched then patched the wounds and said my lines I always pray there's more than friendship in your eyes It must be time, time, time. What do you see when you look inside my soul. Realisation that you could never, ever make me whole. The ties that held you bound now lift you to your goal. Put your heart in line. You'll never be mine. What do you see when you look inside my soul. Realisation that you could never, ever make me whole. The absence of my love will finally take its toll. Put your heart in line. You'll never be mine.

Dog's breath on the window As we pull into the night The rigours of the week Unknot inside my thighs We'll soon be escaping From the great metropolis To a place of peace and solitude A modern land of bliss But just when you believe That you're free to move along They come in from all sides And your brakes they hammer on There's no escaping from the walls of this domain This juutai Juutai Weaving in and out You seek to find a way to pass Perspiration Starts appearing on the glass Oblivious to everything They all pay you no heed And so the rarefactions lose And the spaces they receed But just when you believe That you're free to move along They come in from all sides And your brakes they hammer on There's no escaping from the walls of this domain This juutai Juutai Your breath gets short The claustrophobia It fills your chest Your clammy skin now longs To see the summer sun again Your control of the moment Slowly slips beyond your reach And you finally surrender To this lifestyle that you leech But just when you believe That you're free to move along They come in from all sides And your brakes they hammer on There's no escaping from the walls of this domain This juutai Juutai Just embrace it Just embrace it Just embrace it Just embrace it...
