Black Mirror
I walked down to the ocean
After waking from a nightmare.
No moon no pale reflection.
Black Mirror, Black Mirror
Shot by a security camera
You can't watch your own image
And also look yourself in the eye
Black Mirror, Black Mirror, Black Mirror
I know a time is coming
All words will lose their meaning
Please show me something that isn’t mine
But mine is the only kind that I relate to.
Le miroir casse,
The mirror casts mon reflet partout
Black Mirror, Black Mirror, Black Mirror
The Black Mirror knows no reflection,
It knows not pride or vanity.
It cares not about your dreams.
It cares not for your pyramid schemes
Their names are never spoken.
The curse is never broken.
The curse is never broken.
Un! Deux! Trois! Dis: Miroir Noir
Black Mirror!
Un! Deux! Trois! Dis: Miroir Noir
Black Mirror!
Black Mirror, Black Mirror
Their names are never spoken, The curse is never broken,
Their names are never spoken, The curse is never broken,
Mirror mirror on the wall, show me where them bombs will fall
Mirror mirror on the wall, show me where them bombs will fall
Black Mirror, Black Mirror, Black Mirror,
Black Mirror, Black Mirror, Black Mirror,
Black Mirror
Top Keep The Car Running
Every night my dream's the same.
Same old city with a different name.
Men are coming to take me away.
I don't know why, but I know I can't stay.
There's a weight that's pressing down.
Late at night you can hear the sound.
Even the noise you make when you sleep.
Can't swim across a river so deep.
They know my name 'cause I told it to them.
But they don't know where And they don't know
When It's coming, when It's coming
There's a fear I keep so deep,
Knew its name just before I could speak
Aaaah aaaaaah aaaaah aaaaaah
They know my name 'cause I told it to them
But they don't know where and they don't know
When It's coming. Oh! when, but it's coming
Keep the car running
If some night I don't come home,
Please don't think I've left you alone.
The same place animals go when they die,
You can't climb across a mountain so high.
The same city where I go when I sleep,
You can't swim across a river so deep.
They know my name cause I told it to them,
But they don't know where
And they don't know
When It's coming, Oh! when is it coming?
Keep the car running
Keep the car running
Keep the car running

Neon Bible
A vial of hope and a vial of pain,
In the light they both looked the same.
Poured them out on into the world,
On every boy and every girl singing
It's the Neon Bible, the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival,
If the Neon Bible is right.
Take the poison of your age
Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page,
What I know is what you know is right
In the city it's the only light.
It's the Neon Bible, the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival,
If the Neon Bible is right.
Oh God! well look at you now!
Oh! you lost it, but you don't know how!
In the light of a golden calf,
Oh God! I had to laugh!
Take the poison of your age
Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page,
It was wrong but you said it was right,
In the future I will read at night.
In the Neon Bible, the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival,
If the Neon Bible is true.

Intervention
The king’s taken back the throne.
The useless seed is sown.
When they say they’re cutting off the phone,
I tell 'em you're not home
No place to hide,
You're fightin' as a soldier on their side
You’re still a soldier in your mind
Though nothing's on the line
You say it’s money that we need,
As if we’re the only mouths to feed.
I know no matter what you say,
There are some debts you'll never pay.
Working for the church while your family dies
You take what they give you
And you keep it inside.
Every spark of friendship and love
will die without a home
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone".
I can taste the fear.
Lift me up and take me out of here.
Don’t wanna fight, don’t wanna die
Just wanna hear you cry.
Who’s gonna throw the very first stone?
Oh! who’s gonna reset the bone?
Walking with your head in a sling
Wanna hear the soldier sing:
"Been working for the church while my family dies.
Your little baby sister’s gonna lose her mind.
Every spark of friendship and love
will die without a home."
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone."
I can taste your fear.
It’s gonna lift you up and take you out of here.
And the bone shall never heal;
I care not if you kneel.
We can’t find you now,
But they’re gonna get their money back somehow.
And when you finally disappear,
We'll just say you were never here.
Working for the church while
your life falls apart.
Singin' hallelujah with the fear in your heart.
Every spark of friendship and love
will die without a home."
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone."
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone."

Black Wave / Bad Vibrations
We can reach the sea
They won't follow me
The shadows they fear the sun
We'll make it if we run
Run from the memories (run run from the memories)
Je nage, mais les sons me suivent [I swim, but the sounds follow me] (run run or we'll find a way to you)
Left my name with the border guards
A name that I don’t need
Ce sera un long voyage
Sur les vagues de l'oubli
Run from the memories (run run from the memories)
Je nage, mais les sons me suivent (run run or we'll find a way to you)
Stop now before it's too late
Been eating in the ghetto on a hundred dollar plate
Nothing lasts forever that's the way it’s gotta be
There's a great black wave in the middle of the sea (for me)
Stop now before it's too late
I'm eating in the ghetto on a hundred dollar plate
Nothing lasts forever that's the way it’s gotta be
There's a great black wave in the middle of the sea
For me
For you
For me
It's always for you
Stop now before it's too late
I'm eating in the ghetto on a hundred dollar plate
Nothing lasts forever that's the way its gonna be
There's a great black wave in the middle of the sea (for me)
Stop now before it's too late
Your lover was for hire, have you noticed he's been late?
Nothing lasts forever that's the way it’s gotta be
There's a great black wave in the middle of the sea
For me
For you
For me
It's always for you
The sound is not asleep
It's moving under my feet
It's moving under my feet
It's moving under my feet
It's moving under my feet

Ocean of Noise
In an ocean of noise
I first heard your voice
Ringing like a bell
As if I had a choice, oh well
Left in the morning
While you were fast asleep
Into an ocean of violence
A world of empty streets
You've got your reasons
And me, I've got mine
But all, the reasons, I gave
Were just lies
To buy myself some time
In an ocean of noise
I first heard your voice
Now who here among us
Still believes in choice?
Not I
No way of knowing
What any man will do
An ocean of violence
Between me and you
You've got your reasons
And me, I've got mine
But all, the reasons, I gave
Were just lies
To buy myself some time
I'm gonna work it out
'Cause time won't work it out
I'm gonna work it out
'Cause time won't work it out for you
I'm gonna work it on out.

The Well and the Lighthouse
I am serving time
All for a crime I did commit
You want the truth?
You know I'd do it all again
Left for dead, heaven is only in my head!
In my head, in my head
In my head, in my head
I heard a voice
Calling from down inside a well
"See that silver shine?"
She said to come claim what was mine
So down I fell, down into the water black
My prison cell, only the moon was shining back!
Shining back, shining back
Shining back, shining back
If I seem lost,
Well I weighted the cost
And chose my crime
Now it's mine, all mine!
I heard the voice
Calling from just outside the well
She said
"You fool, now that you know your end is near"
"You always fall for what you desire or what you fear!"
What you fear, what you fear
What you fear, what you fear
Resurrected, living in a lighthouse
If you leave them ships are gonna wreck
Resurrected, living in a lighthouse
The lions and the lambs ain't sleepin' yet
Resurrected, living in a lighthouse
Can you see the funny side? the ships are gonna wreck
Resurrected, living in a lighthouse
The lions and the lambs aint sleepin' yet
The lions and the lambs ain't sleepin' yet
The lions and the lambs ain't sleepin' yet

(Antichrist Television Blues)
I don't wanna work in a building downtown
No, I don't wanna work in a building downtown
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Cause the planes keep crashing always two by two
Don't wanna work in a building downtown
No, I don't wanna see when the planes hit the ground
I don't wanna work in a building downtown
I don't wanna work in a building downtown
Parkin' the cars in the underground
The voices when they scream, well they make no sound
I wanna see the cities rust,
And the troublemakers ridin' on the back of the bus
Dear God, I'm a good Christian man
In your glory, I know you understand
That you gotta work hard and you gotta get paid
My girl's thirteen, but she don't act her age
She can sing like a bird in cage
Oh Lord, if you could see her when she's up on that stage!
You know that I'm a God-fearin' man
You know that I'm a God-fearin' man
I just gotta know if it's a part of your plan
To seat my daughter there by your right hand
I know that you'll do what's right, Lord
For they are the lanterns and you are the light
Now I'm overcome
By the light of day
My lips are near
But my heart is far away
Tell me what to say
I'll be your mouthpiece!
Into the light of a bridge that burns
As I drive from the city with the money that I earned
Into the black of a starless sky
I'm staring into nothing and I'm asking you why:
Lord, will you make her a star
So the world can see who you really are?
Little girl, you're old enough to understand
That you'll always be a stranger in a strange, strange land
The men are gonna come while you're fast asleep
So you better just stay close and hold onto me
If my little mockingbird won't sing,
Then daddy won't buy her no diamond ring
Dear God, would you send me a child?
Oh! God, would you send me a child?
'cause I wanna put it up on the tv screen
So the world can see what your true Word means
Lord, would you send me a sign?
'cause i just gotta know if I'm wastin' my time!
Now I'm overcome
By the light of day
My lips are near
But my heart is far away
Now the war is won
How come nothing tastes good?
You're such a sensitive child (sensitive child)
Oh! You're such a sensitive child
I know you're tired, but it's alright
I just need you to sing for me tonight
You're gonna have your day in the sun
You know God loves the sensitive ones
Oh my little bird in a cage
Oh my little bird in a cage
I need you to get up for me, up on that stage
And show the men that you're old for your age
Now ain't the time for fear
But if you don't take it, it'll disappear
Oh my little mockingbird sing
Come on, my little mockingbird sing
I need you to get up on that stage for me, honey
And show the men it's not about the money
Wanna hold a mirror up to the world
So that they can see themselves inside my little girl
Do you know where i was at your age?
Any idea where i was at your age?
I was workin' downtown for the minimum wage!
And I'm not gonna let you just throw it all away!
I'm through being cute
I'm through being nice
O tell me Lord, am I the Antichrist?

Windowsill
I don't want to hear the noises on tv
I don't want the salesmen coming after me
I don't want to live in my father's house no more
I don't want it fast, I don't want it free
I don't wanna show you what they done to me
I don't want to live in my father's house no more
I don't want to choose black or blue
I don't wanna see what they done to you
I don't want to live in my father's house no more
'Cause the tide is high
And it's rising still
And I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
I don't want to give 'em my name and address
I don't want to see what happens next
I don't want to live in my father's house no more
I don't want to live with my father's debt
You can't forgive what you can't forget
I don't want to live in my father's house no more
I don't want to fight in a holy war
I don't want the salesmen knocking at my door
I don't want to live in America no more
Because the tide is high
And it's rising still
And I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
I don't want to see it at my windowsill
Don't want to see it at my windowsill
Don't want to see it at my windowsill
MTV, what have you done to me?
Save my soul, set me free
Set me free, what have you done to me?
I can't breathe, I can't see
World War Three, when are you coming for me?
Been kicking up sparks, we set the flames free
The windows are locked now, so what'll it be?
A house on fire or a rising sea?
Why is the night so still?
Why did I take the pill?
Because I don't want to see it at my windowsill
I don't want to see it at my windowsill

No Cars Go
We know a place where no planes go
We know a place where no ships go
(Hey!) No cars go
(Hey!) No cars go
Where we know
We know a place no spaceships go
We know a place where no subs go
(Hey!) No cars go
(Hey!) No cars go
Where we know
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
(Go... Now go!)
(Hey!) Us kids know
(Hey!) No cars go
Where we know
Between the click of the light and the start of the dream
Between the click of the light and the start of the dream
Between the click of the light and the start of the dream
Between the click of the light and the start of the dream
Little babies, let's go
Women and children, let's go
Old folks, let's go
Don't know where we're goin'
Top My Body Is A Cage
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
I'm standing on the stage
Of fear and self-doubt
It's a hollow play
But they'll clap anyway
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
I'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head
I'm living in an age
Whose name I don't know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
My body is a cage
My body is a cage
We take what we're given
Just because you've forgotten
Doesn't mean you're forgiven
I'm living in an age
That screams my name at night
But when I get to the doorway
There's no one in sight
I'm living in an age
Realizing I'm dancing
With the one I love
But my mind holds the key
You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
Set my body free
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
