Ghost Car (The Caffeine Kicks)
I drive a ghost car
I drive through the night
I drive a ghost car
I drive it through the cold wind and rain
Always alone, as the night as long
I drive for home, keeping on
I drive for home
I drive a ghost car
I drive through the night
I drive a ghost car
And no-one else can drive my car
Not like me, not like this
‘cos they don’t miss, what I miss
I drive for this kiss
So I while away the hours trying to make it stick
I try to stay awake ‘til the caffeine kicks
I try to stay awake ‘til the caffeine kicks
I stop at a ghost town
There’s no-one around
I stop at a ghost town
Where everyone is fast asleep
Shadows populate the street
The traffic lights flash red to green
Repeat, repeat, but no-one sees
So I while away the hours trying to make it stick
I try to stay awake ‘til the caffeine kicks
I try to stay awake ‘til the caffeine kicks
I drive a ghost car
I drive through the night
A ghost car
Always trying to get back home
The road is long, I cannot get gone
White lines blur to one, until I see the sun
White lines blur to one, until I see the sun. Hey!
So I while away the hours trying to make it stick
I try to stay awake ‘til the caffeine kicks
I try to stay awake ‘til the caffeine kicks
‘til the caffeine kicks, ‘til the caffeine kicks. Hey!

Dialling Tone
04:43

I walked away from all I know
My battery's dead, I'm miles from home
And in 15 minutes I have to call you to say hello
Or the paranoia will come to eat me
And it seems the phone line is a lifeline
An invisible connection to a world I understand
'cos late last night I said I love you
And now it's hard to tell the difference between my heartbeats and the dialling tone
I'm caving in. I'm all alone
I need to find a telephone
To call my Mother and ask her if I'm doing alright
Or the brown eyed monster just keeps on coming
And it seems the phone line is a lifeline
An invisible connection to a world I understand
'cos late last night I said I love you
And now it's hard to tell the difference between my the dialling tone
I don't know how it got like this, but I cannot desist
I cannot let up, grow up, wake up.
And it seems the phone line is a lifeline
An invisible connection to a world I understand
'cos late last night I said I love you
And now it's hard to tell the difference between my heartbeats and the dialling tone
The telephone

Trouble In Hell

TROUBLE IN HELL
Your tracks will come back and lead you through the winter alone
And flat on my back I’ll meet you on our island of stone
What’s on your mind friend? Can I help you take off your shoes?
Got some time on your hands, but you didn’t come and help me. Blow up and bruise.
There is trouble in hell
Now your arms are so thin I thought of branches brittle and prone
So I followed you in and I wasted by the minute
I couldn’t find your sin. I only found my limit.
There is trouble in hell
Now everybody’s shrinking to their core, or so I’ve been told
‘cos I listen to the whispers, and they said to let you go
And help myself float
There is trouble in hell

BOOTS
We fell behind. Our luck was much too bleak
I was much too kind and you were weak
No hanging your hear or turning away
I do not want to take this day by day
So pick up the pieces take what you need then do what you need to do
You’re not over the hill, the time that you kill won’t help you blow up and bruise
With your boots laced up your tiny feet will walk all over me
I don’t expect too much, I don’t wanna find you hanging from a tree
With your boots laced up, your tiny feet will walk all over me
You made mistakes, over and over and over again
It isn’t an issue of making amends. I think it has come to the time for revenge
You’re losing the plot, forgot what you’ve got and all that you have to lose
You’re not over the hill the time that you kill won’t help you blow up and bruise
With your boots laced up your tiny feet will walk all over me
I don’t expect too much, I don’t wanna find you hanging from a tree
With your boots laced up, your tiny feet will walk all over me

MONSOON RAIN
Do you ever think about getting off the conveyor belt of how life’s meant to be?
I will not choose, just refuse, I will not take this path in front of me
So lead a tidy life and let yourself fade
With an smile on your face while you’re getting paid
And you feel the world will never be the same
Tears roaring through you like a monsoon rain
No more crying, unhappy feelings, what you believe in is so deceiving
It’s not a question of finding meaning
Life is the answer. Love is the reason
Do you ever think to yourself in a moment of clarity ‘this isn’t the way that my life’s meant to be’?
You try to avoid the pursuit of some dude in a suit who will try to dilute you and make you a machine
The party line is malign lies, repeat to fade
Take a vow in front of god just to change your name
Then slave in a trade ‘til the flat screen’s paid
Tears roaring through you like a monsoon rain
No more crying, unhappy feelings, what you believe in is so deceiving
It’s not a question of finding meaning
Life is the answer. Love is the reason
