disc 1

1:1 ReflektoR - Trapped in a prison, in a prism of light. Alone in the darkness, a darkness of white. We fell in love, alone on a stage, in the reflective age. Entre la nuit, la nuit et laurore. Entre le royaume des vivants et des morts. If this is heaven, I dont know what its for. If I cant find you there, I dont care. I thought I found a way to enter; it was just a reflector. I thought I found the connector; it was just a reflector. Just a reflector.

The signals we send are deflected again. Were so connected, but are we even friends? We fell in love when I was 19, and now were staring at a screen. Entre la nuit, la nuit et laurore. Entre le royaume des vivants et des morts. If this is heaven, I need something more. Just a place to be alone, cause youre my home. I thought I found a way to enter; it was just a reflector. I thought I found the connector; it was just a reflector. Just a reflector. Just a reflector.

Just a reflection of a reflection of a reflection, but I see you on the other side. We all got things to hide. (Alright lets go back). Our song it skips on little silver disks. Our love is plastic, and they break it to bits. I want to break free, but will they break me down, down, down, dont mess around. I thought I found a way to enter; it was just a reflector. I thought I found the connector; it was just a reflector. Just a reflector. Thought you were praying to the resurrector; turns out it was just a reflector. Just a reflector.

1:2 We exist - Theyre walking around, head full of sound, acting like we dont exist. They walk in the room and stare right through you, talking like we dont exist. But we exist. Daddy its true, Im different from you, but tell me why they treat me like this. If you turned away, what would I say? Not the first betrayed by a kiss. Maybe its true, theyre staring at you when you walk in a room. Tell em its fine, stare if you like, but just let us through. Just let us through.

Theyre down on their knees, begging us please, praying that we dont exist. Daddy its fine, Im used to em now, but tell me why they treat me like this. Its cause we do it like this. Maybe its true, theyre staring at you when you walk in a room. Tell em its fine, stare if you like, but just let us through. Just let us through. Let em stare, let em stare, if thats all they can do. But Id lose my heart if I turned away from you. Oh, Daddy dont turn away, you know that Im so scared. But will you watch me drown?

You know were going nowhere. We know that were young, and no shit were confused. But will you watch us drown? What are you so afraid to lose? Youre down on your knees, begging us please, praying that we dont exist. Youre down on your knees, begging us please, praying that we dont exist. But we exist. We exist. We exist. We exist. We exist. Maybe if you hang together, you can make the changes in our hearts. And if you hang together, you can change us, just where should you start?

1:3 flashbulb eyes - What if the camera really do take your soul? Oh no! What if the camera really do take your soul? Oh no! Hit me with your flashbulb eyes. Hit me with your flashbulb eyes. You know Ive got nothing to hide. You know Ive got nothing. You know Ive got nothing.

1:4 heRe comes the Night time - When the sun goes down, when the sun goes down you head inside. Cause the lights dont work, yeah nothing works--they say you dont mind. But here comes the night time. Here comes the night time. Here comes the night time. And the missionaries, they tell us we will be left behind. Been left behind a thousand times, a thousand times. If you want to be righteous, if you want to be righteous, get in line. Cause here comes the night time.

Here comes the night time. Here comes the night time. Here comes the night time. Look out, here comes the night time. Here comes the night, here comes the night time. Look out, here comes the night time. They say heavens a place, yeah, heavens a place and they know where it is. But you know where it is--its behind the gate they wont let you in. And when they hear the beat, coming from the street, they lock the door. But if theres no music up in heaven, then whats it for?

When I hear the beat, the spirits on me like a live wire. A thousand horses running wild in a city on fire. But it starts in your feet, then it goes to your head. And if you cant feel it, then the roots are dead. And if youre the judge, then what is our crime? Here comes the night time. Here comes the night time. Here comes the night time. Here comes the night time. Look out! Here comes the night time. Now here comes the night, here comes the night. Look out, here comes the night. Here comes the night. Here comes the night.

Here comes the night, the night, the night, the night time! Now the preachers they talk up on the satellite. If youre looking for hell, just try looking inside. Here comes the night time, the night time. Here comes the night time, the night time. Here comes the night time, the night time. Here comes the night time, the night time. Here comes the night time, the night time. Here comes the night time, the night time.

When you look in the sky, just try looking inside. God knows what you might find. When you look in the sky, just try looking inside. God knows what you might find. Here comes the night time.

1:5 NoRmal PeRsoN - Is anything as strange as a normal person? Is anyone as cruel as a normal person? Waiting after school for you, they want to know if you, if youre normal too. Well, are you? Are you? Im so confused. Am I a normal person? You know, I cant tell if Im a normal person, its true. I think Im cool enough, but am I cruel enough, am I cruel enough for you? And they will break you down till everything is normal now, I know. And they will break you down till everything is normal now, I know.

They take their tea at two, all the normal people, they do. They burn the jungle down, while they were sleeping, it grew. You dream in English now, in proper English, look how youre just the same as me; its through. And they will break you down till everything is normal now, I know. And they will break you down till everyone is normal now, I know. If thats whats normal now, I dont wanna know. If thats whats normal now, Mama dont make me go!

When they get excited, they try to hide to it, look at those normals go. When they get excited, they try to hide it, look at those normals go. When they get excited, they try to hide it, look at those normals go. When they get excited, they try to hide it--no! And they will break you down till everything is normal now, I know. And they will break you down till everything is normal now, I know. If thats whats normal now, I dont wanna know. If thats whats normal now

Maybe if you hang together, you can make the changes in our hearts. And if you hang together, you can change us, just where should you start? Ive never really ever met a normal person. Ive never really ever met a normal person. Ive never really ever met a normal person. Ive never really ever met a normal person like you. How do you do. How do you do.

1:6 you alReady kNoW - Sometimes it moves so fast, sometimes it moves so fast. If you stop to ask, its already passed. So how can you move so slow? How can you move so slow? You miss it if you dont, you miss it if you dont already know, already know, already know, already know, already know. When your love is right, when your love is right, you cant sleep at night. Youve been sleeping just fine. But when your love is bad, when your love is bad, I dont know why youre so sad.

But its time to go, you already know, already know. You already know. You already know. You already know. You already know. You already know, already know. Sometimes it moves so fast, sometimes it moves so fast, if you stop to ask, its already passed. So how can you move so slow? How can you move it so slow? You missed it, you know. You missed it, you already know, already know. You already know. You already know. You already know. You already know. You already know.

Please stop wondering why you feel so bad, when you already know, already know. Please stop wondering why you feel so sad, when you already know, already know You already know, oh, its time to go. She said, Well, how do I know, when I know, when I know? You already know. Well then he said, Well, how do I know, when I know, when I really know? You already know. Well then she said, Well how do I know, when I know, when I know? You already know. You already know.

1:7 JoaN of aRc - Youre the one that they used to hate, but they like you now. And everything that goes away, will be returned somehow. Theyre the ones that spit on you, cause they got no heart. Im the one that will follow you. Youre my Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc. You had a vision they couldnt see so they put you down. But everything that you said would happen, it came around. And theyre the ones that put you down cause they got no heart. But Im the one that will follow you. Youre my Joan of Arc.

Joan of Arc (Jeanne dArc, ah ooh), tell the boys their time is through. Joan of Arc (Jeanne dArc, ah ooh), tell the boys Ill follow you. I follow you. Now they tell you that youre their MUSE, yeah, theyre so inspired. But where were they, when they called your name, and they lit the fire? When the voices came you cut your hair, but youre still confused. But Im the one with the heavy heart, cause I follow you.

My Joan of Arc (Jeanne dArc, ah ooh), tell the boys their time is through. Joan of Arc (Jeanne dArc, ah ooh), tell the boys Ill follow you, my Joan of Arc (Jeanne dArc, ah ooh). When the boys are over you, Joan of Arc (Jeanne dArc, ah ooh), tell the boys Ill follow you. I follow you. Joan its true, I really wanna know you.

Tu dis que tu es mon juge, mais je ne te crois pas. Alors tu dis que je suis une sainte, mais ce nest pas moi. Jentends des voix, mais ce nest pas moi. Je ne suis pas Jeanne dArc. And if you shoot, you better hit your mark. Joan of Arc (Jeanne dArc, ah ooh), tell the boys their time is through. Joan of Arc (Jeanne dArc, ah ooh), tell the boys Ill follow you. Joan of Arc (Jeanne dArc, ah ooh), when the boys are over you. Joan of Arc (Jeanne dArc, ah ooh), tell the boys Ill follow you. I follow you.

But Joan its true, I only wanna know you. Joan its true, I only wanna know you. But Joan, I only wanna know you. First they love you, then they kill you, then they love you again. They love you, and then they kill you, and they love you again. Love love love you, kill kill kill you, and then they love you again. They love love love you, kill kill kill you, and they love you again.

2:2 aWful souNd (oh eurydice) - You and I were born in a little town, before the awful sound started coming down. Oh no. Oh, you came home from school, and knew you had to run. Please stop running now. Just let me be the one for you. I know you can see things that we cant see. But when I say I love you, your silence covers me. Oh, Eurydice, its an awful sound.

I was so disappointed you didnt want me. Oh, how could it be, Eurydice. I was standing beside you, by a frozen sea. Will you ever get free? Just take all your pain, just put it on me, so that you can breathe. When you fly away, will you hit the ground? Its an awful sound. I know theres a way we can make em pay. Think it over and say, Im never going back again. I know theres a way we can leave today. Think it over and say, Im never going back again.

You were born in the little town, before the awful sound started coming down. Theres so much inside you that you wont let me see. You fly away from me, but its an awful sound, when you hit the ground. Its an awful sound, when you hit the ground. I know theres a way we can make em pay. Think it over and say, Im never going back again. I know theres a way, we can leave today. Think it over

We know theres a price to pay, for love in a reflective age. I met you up upon a stage, our love in a reflective age. Oh no, now youre gone. La la - La la la - La la la la la - La la la la - Damballah Wedo - Ayida wedo - Damballah Wedo - Ayida wedo

2:3 its NeveR oveR (hey orpheus) - Hey, Orpheus! Im behind you. Dont turn around. I can find you. Just wait until its over, wait until its through. And if I call for you, oh, Orpheus, just sing for me all night. Well wait until its over, wait until its through. You say its not me, its you. Hey, Orpheus! De lautre ct de leau, comme un cho. Just wait until its over, wait until its through. And if I shout for you, never doubt. Dont turn around too soon. Just wait until its over, wait until its through.

It seems so important now, but you will get over. Seems so important now, but you will get over. And when you get over, when you get older, then you will remember, why it was so important then. Seems like a big deal now, but you will get over. Seems like a big deal now, but you will get over. When you get over, and when you get older, then you will discover- that its never over.

This underworld an endless wave, an afterlife behind the gate. Tu dis que cest la fin du monde, cest ton silence mon eau profonde. We stood beside a frozen sea. I saw you out in front of me. Reflected light, a hollow moon, oh, Orpheus, dont turn around too soon. Hey, Eurydice! Can you see me? I will sing your name till youre sick of me. Just wait until its over, just wait until its through. But if you call for me, this frozen sea, it melts beneath me. Just wait until its over, wait until its through.

Seems like a big deal now, but you will get over. Seems like a big deal now, but you will get over. And when you get over, and when you get older, then you will remember... He told you hed wake you up when it was over. He told you hed wake you up when it was over. Now that its over, now that youre older, then you will discover, that its never over. Its never over. Its never over. Its never over

Sometime, sometime, sometime, sometime, boy, theyre gonna eat you alive. But its never gonna happen now. Well figure it out somehow. Sometime, sometime, sometime, sometime, boy, theyre gonna eat you alive. But its never gonna happen now. Well figure it out somehow. Cause its never over. Its never over. Its never over. Its never over We stood beside a frozen sea. I saw you out in front of me. Reflected light, a hollow moon. Oh Orpheus, its over too soon. Eurydice, its over too soon.

2:4 PoRNo - Take the makeup off your eyes. Ive got to see you, hear your sacred sighs. Before the break up, comes the silence. Im talking to you. You say youre over it, but I know. I thought I knew you. You thought you knew me. But now that you do, its not so easy now that I know. You can cry; I wont go.

You can scream; I wont go. Every man that you know would have run at the word go. Little boys with their porno, oh, I know they hurt you so. They dont know what we know. Never know what we know.

And all your makeup, just take it all off. Ive got to find you before the line is lost. I know I hurt you, I wont deny it. When I reach for you, you say, Im over it. But I know.

You can cry; I wont go. You can scream; I wont go. Every man that you know would have run at the word go. Little boys with their porno, oh, I know they hurt you so. They dont know what we know. Never know what we know. Its so little that we know, but the cup it overflows.

Little boys with their porno, this is their world, where can we go? Makes me feel like somethings wrong with me. Makes me feel like somethings wrong with me. Can you see me? Somethings wrong. Its the only world we know. Yeah, somethings wrong. Little boys with their porno. And boys they learn some selfish shit until the girl wont put up with it. On and on and on we go. I just have to know. Im not over it. Im not over it.

You say love is real like a disease. Come on tell me please, Im not over it. Im not over it. Wait

2:5 afteRlife - Afterlife. Oh my God, what an awful word. After all the breath, and the dirt, and the fires are burnt. And after all this time, and after all the ambulances go, and after all the hangers-on are done hanging on in the dead light of the afterglow, Ive gotta know Can we work it out? If we scream and shout, till we work it out? Can we just work it out? Scream and shout, till we work it out. Till we work it out. Till we work it out. Till we work it out. Till we work it out.

Afterlife. I think I saw what happens next. Oh, it was just a glimpse of you, like looking through a window or a shallow sea. Could you see me? And after all this time, its like nothing else we used to know. And after all the hangers-on are done hanging on in the dead light of the afterglow, Ive got to know Can we work it out? If we scream and shout till we work it out? Can we just work it out? If we scream and shout till we work it out.

But you say, Oh, when love is gone, where does it go? And you say, Oh, when love is gone, where does it go? And where do we go? Where do we go? Where do we go? Where do we go? Where do we go? Where do we go? Where do we go? Where do we go? And after this, can it last another night? After all the bad advice, that had nothing at all to do with life. Ive got to know Can we work it out? If we scream and shout till we work it out? Can we just work it out? If we scream and shout till we work it out.

But you say, Oh, when love is gone, where does it go? And you say, Oh, when love is gone, where does it go? We know its gone, but where did it go? Oh, we know its gone, but where did it go? And where do we go? Is this the afterlife? Its just an afterlife with you. Its just an afterlife. Its just an afterlife. Its just an afterlife with you. Its just an afterlife. Its just an afterlife.

2:6 suPeRsymmetRy - I know youre living in my mind, but its not the same as being alive. I know youre living in my mind, but its not the same as being alive Supersymmetry, supersymmetry. If telling the truth is not polite, then I guess well have to fight. If telling the truth is not polite, then I guess well have to fight Supersymmetry, supersymmetry. Lived for a year in a bed by the window, reading books, better than memories.

Wanna feel the seasons passing, wanna feel the spring of supersymmetry. Supersymmetry, supersymmetry, supersymmetry. Its been a while since Ive been to see you. Dont know where, but youre not with me. Heard a voice like an echo, but it came from me Supersymmetry, supersymmetry. Supersymmetry, supersymmetry. Ah lalalalala - Ah lalalalala - Ah lalalalala - Ah lalalala. Supersymmetry. Supersymmetry.
