Teenage Residue

Look, said the first one
In the sea there's a sun
And it's blue.
Wanna find it? Well, I wouldn't try it
It's Dark
And the silence of the submarine terrain
washes in through the caves of your brain.
The teenage residue
Of the teenage things that you still do
Might be the death of you, so
I'd really listen what I'm telling you.
Ah ah.
Stop, this is no fun
In my ear there's a hum
That won't go
I don't mind it cos it's very quiet
I still don't like it
Silence in the submarine terrain
All I crave, in the caves
Of my brain.
The teenage residue
All the teenage things that you still do
It might be the death of you, so
I'd really listen what I'm telling you now.
All that I want is somewhere that I cannot find
All that I want is lost somewhere deep down in my mind.
Ah ah.

When do you think the gates will open?
I hear everybody's choking on gas
And I need you
To be standing right beside me and remind me that at least it is fast
There's not too much to be learning from a dying man
But I've decided, man, now I just need you
And if everything is crumbling, it looks like we've got nothing to lose.
So take my hand and say the words that I want you to say
We've got nothing to lose so hey hey hey hey hey.
I want everybody singing and the bells will all be ringing today
Because in spite of the way that this is heading,
We are going to have a wedding today.
Now take my hand and say the words that I want you to say
I would have done this anyway.
Twang twang
Now I
I want to show you to my family, but everyone around me is dead
So I need you to repopulate the Earth with me,
We'll make a brand new family instead.
So take my hand and say the words that I want you to say
I would have done this anyway.

Son of an Alchemist

Is it time to reactivate? Is it too late?
Reassure me
I'm the son of an alchemist
Whose remedies can't cure me
And I thought you and I were not like
All the sad and lonely people
I'm the son of a therapist
Who's trying to turn me evil.
And I won't waste my time
Sulking, when my one and only is sad and lonely
If loving's on the line
Maybe that line is a line to throw me
Cos I can't feel it in my bones anymore
I can't feel it in my blood anymore
I try, but I can't be alone for another day.
I've been having bad dreams of late
I'm in a state of confusion
In the words of The Alchemist
My dreams are all illusions of when
You and I were on the brink of absolute amoré
Sitting round in a trance, and this
Is where I will be all day.
And is it so wrong
To miss those days when there was nothing there?
That day was so long
When all the time slowed down,
I thought I could see colours in the air
Oh yeah.
Now I won't waste my time
Sulking, when my one and only is sad and lonely
If loving's on the line
Maybe that line is a line to throw me
Cos I can't feel it in my bones anymore
I can't feel it in my blood anymore
I try, but I can't be alone for another day.

Yesterday came back to say
Don't trust tomorrow
The man outside the place you hide
His cigarette's nearly done
Now, do you feel
Like your god is real?
Well I'll believe the telephone
She says I'm going home
Thank God for the unknown
Boy, if you knew, you would cry
Everything was different when they made the flying car and the Cyber Wife®, with kitchen knives instead of fingers
And now she sits alone, drinking acetone.
Television answer me, how much is left of the
Place in the sun that was
Sold to me before today?
Aaaghh
I'll believe in anything, given the state I'm in
Telephone broke again
Now for the rest of my days.
