Captain, captain, I’ve heard there’s been a mutiny Are you still fit to run this ship? Can you feel the storm that’s brewing on the sea? Captain, captain, loose lips will sink us fast Water levels are rising to a frightening height And the pressure’s building deep within Hear the thunder and see the way the lightening strikes Captain, captain, this storm may be our last Who will hear our S.O.S.? Who will hear our S.O.S.? Who will hear our S.O.S.? Who will hear our S.O.S.? Captain, captain, you’ve been a captain for so long Can you still recall the feel of land? Take command of this ship and steer us safely home Captain, captain, it’s not worth us getting killed Who will hear our S.O.S.? Who will hear our S.O.S.? Who will hear our S.O.S.? Who will hear our S.O.S.? And just for a minute The calm of the sea is calming me It’s calming Captain, captain You can regain your honor By going down with this ship

Decoded 03:16
You’re so clever, you’re so smart You talk in codes, talk in codes in your art And I don’t see them, cuz I’m so dumb You have to show me what they, show me what they are You’re so balanced, you’re so calm You use that herbal as a, herbal as a balm But I can’t do that, it makes me cry You have to tell how I’m, tell me how I’m wrong And I’ll never get you Cuz you’re so complex But I solved the riddle Of what’s in your head You’ve been decoded You’ve got talent, you’ve got grace You gotta photograph, you photograph your face It makes me nervous and wonder why You wanna try to take, you try to take my place And I’ll never get you Cuz you’re self-obsessed But I solved the riddle Of what’s in your head You’ve been decoded Now I’m no angel and I’m no bitch But I’ve got the urge, got the urge to scratch that itch You’re both so perfect, it’s meant to be So go on fuck each other, fuck each other sick You’ll never get it Cuz you won’t get me You knew the riddle And you had the key To decode me

Cool Cat 03:26
You always wanna go out You’re always on the prowl You never wanna chill out with me You gotta hunt for fresh meat You like to spurn my touch You think I want you too much But I can’t walk away from you Cuz you’ll win me back if I do You’re a cool cat You’re a cool cat But I didn’t know that When I picked you up in the church parking lot You wait till others are gone To show me who’s the boss You like to sink your claws in me You gotta claim your territory But when we’re in a crowd With other people around You like to act like you love me So everybody else can see You’re a cool cat You’re a cool cat But I didn’t know that When I picked you up in the church parking lot God is on your lips The devil in your hips But it’s the chip on your shoulder I can’t resist (x4) You’re a cool cat You’re a cool cat But I didn’t know that When I picked you up in the church parking lot

You have no idea How many conversations we have never had I’ve been keeping score Pretending tender moments somewhere in my head It’s the devil’s arithmetic Counting things that don’t exist It’s the devil’s arithmetic Counting things that don’t exist Please don’t wake me up I’m having such a good time thinking we’re in love Don’t you say good-bye I cannot stand in when we have to be apart How long will it take? I try to measure it but none of it makes sense Counting down the days and weeks and months and years I cannot see the end It’s the devil’s arithmetic Counting things that don’t exist It’s the devil’s arithmetic Counting things that don’t exist I try to add the numbers up My heart’s divided by the loss Each day multiplies the fear I’ve been subtracted from you, dear It’s the devil’s arithmetic Counting things that don’t exist It’s the devil’s arithmetic Counting things

Love Machine 03:28
Smooth veneer, plastic sheen Baby, you’re a love machine Metal gear, silver screen Baby, you’re a love machine (x2) Calculated, integrated readings Masquerading palpitating feelings (x2) You don’t have a heart, but you’ve got hardware Trigger locked, safety off Baby, you’re a battle bot Auto on, power shot Baby, you’re a battle bot (x2) Calculated, integrated readings Masquerading palpitating feelings (x2) You don’t have a heart, but you’ve got hardware You think you’ve got it figured out Much smarter than anyone else You rig the algorithm You don’t think we get the difference I’m not like you, I’m not like you I’m not like you You’re not human, you’re not human You’re just Calculated, integrated readings Masquerading palpitating feelings Calculated, integrated readings Masquerading palpitating

Look at us being so balanced Look at us playing on key Look at us acting like everything’s normal Everything’s as it should be Look at us going through motions Look at us stepping in time Look at us saying that everyone’s lovely Everyone’s doing just fine But I’m not satisfied I’m not satisfied Look at me playing with riddles Look at me making up facts Look at me trying so hard not to tell you Trying so hard not to ask Look at you acting so proper Look at you giving it space Look at you making the first move forward Then turning away the next day Well I’m not satisfied I’m not satisfied I didn’t find you I didn’t find you in time Oh you tried to warn me You tried to warn me, but I wouldn’t listen I didn’t find you I didn’t find you in time But if I had If I had would you have loved me? Look past the confident posture Look deeper into the scene Look at my eyes when I try not to look at you Surely you know what I mean Look at this whole situation Using a clear, level head Oh but look at the way that your reason and logic Are leading you far from my bed Well I’m not satisfied I’m not satisfied I didn’t find you I didn’t find you in time Oh you tried to warn me You tried to warn me, but I wouldn’t listen I didn’t find you I didn’t find you in time But if I had If I had would you have loved me?
