Johnny 02:57
I met him in a basement bar Amongst the shine of diode stars He said to me his name was Johnny I knew that he was a commie He had the deepest bluest eyes I bought each of his filthy lies I knew his crimes were undetected My heart completely unprotected Oh Johnny, I know so well you’re good for nothing Oh Johnny, nothing matters anymore I’ve had my faith and I’ve always served well My country first and the rest would follow I could never fear, I could never doubt But now none of this matters My little world has been shattered Finally I’m free, but I can’t get out Oh Johnny, I know so well you’re good for nothing Oh Johnny, nothing matters anymore when you’re around A red star stuck on his leather jacket He says it’s just out of force of habit I saw his eyes on the rising sun My heart is caught in confusion My soul has been disillusioned Could I ever stop what I have begun? Oh Johnny… Don’t you answer any of my questions Don’t you tell me any of your secrets Don’t you ever tell me anything at all Oh Johnny

You must break their heart Right from the start You must, you must destroy the heart I see them sitting by the telephone They moan and they groan when they’re all alone Their skin is grey and cold as stone They will suck your soul right from the bone They never close their eyes at night They’ll never let you out of sight They don’t run fast, but they will bite They will cling to you with all their might It is love that caused their sorry state It is love and it can’t wait You must…. There’s danger here, oh can’t you see This sickness spreading endlessly We lose ourselves so easily In sweet caress we cease to be So stay away, or you will catch it, too This love that wakes the worst in you You’ll hang around, your heart askew You’ll shuffle on to pay your dues It is love… But if you follow suit I don’t know what to do Please, if you follow suit Tell me what I must do If you should follow suit (If I should follow suit) I don’t know what to do (You know what you must do) What must I do? You must destroy the heart! You must break my heart Right from the start You must, you must destroy You must break my heart Right from the start You must, you must destroy the heart

Alien Eyes 03:27
She’s got alien eyes I don’t know what I’m here to do There’s not a man I cannot see through Don’t have a soul and I lost my heart I’m bleeding life and I’m about to come apart I don’t know where I have come from All I know is there is something wrong I wasn’t made to live like this Blood and flesh are not a perfect synthesis I’ve got, I’ve got alien eyes I’ve been to all the dark places I’ve seen all the boring faces I’ve walked through a world of glass And it shattered into tiny little shards There must be more than I can see Amongst the things that mean nothing to me Or am I just slipping away? Have I been turned and am I doomed to stay? I’ve got, I’ve got alien eyes

Don't Wanna 01:35
It’s been good It’s all been fun But I just cannot stand When you’re so drunk I think I wanna go home I’ve had fun I’ve had a good time I think that you’re just Out of your mind I think I wanna go home I’ll stay alone Shut down my phone Cause I don’t wanna Talk to you I don’t wanna talk I’ll shut my door I will ignore Cause I don’t wanna Talk to you I don’t wanna talk Don’t talk
