1. Lights On
You think you're smart when you dance so hot, but you wink your eyes too fast
Ooh, how hard wed try to manage this night could never last
Take this moment and slide into freedom an play this game of love
Same old story, its easy to guess - you'll get my body torn
Power is so attractive, yeah, it makes me use my gun
Ooh, how hard you try to manage this game can't make you a nun
Be my boss and use your freedom and pay for your sins later
Let's get down to business and shut these fucking lights, yeah
You'd better turn the lights on
You'd better turn the lights on
You'd better turn the lights on
Move on honey, its so dark in here
You'd better turn the lights on
You'd better turn the lights on (deep in your head)
You'd better turn the lights on
Move on masses, move your asses on!
Why do you try to act like someone who knows everything
In fact youre just a lost little girl who tries to save her own skin
Why don'tcha try to convince me, try to really turn me on
Instead of cheating and telling me lies show that youre a real one!
You'd better turn the lights on
You'd better turn the lights on
You'd better turn the lights on
Move on honey, cant you turn me on
You'd better turn the ligts on
You'd better turn the ligts on (deep in your head)
You'd better turn the ligts on
Move your asses, move on masses!
Hey, you creepies, turn the lights!
You'd better turn the lights on...
You'd better turn the lights on
You'd better turn the lights on
Why do we treat each other like it was the end of the human race
You'd better turn the lights on
You'd better turn the lights on
You'd better turn the lights on
Move on masses, move your asses!
2. The Lie Of The Zombie
[Son:] I saw the eyes of the american war machine
[Father:] Its such a fine way of thinking to get us some scene
[Son:] The video war games can sometimes be so boring!
[Father:] Sand castles made to crash! Youre not a boy anymore
If you cant grab a gun youll stay alone at the shore
and everybody thinks youre too childlish and unable to get along!
[Zombie (comes):] Come here - you got caught!
I got my eyes on you! Be good, be my body -
I put my lies in you!
Do you remember when your daddy felt quite mad
'coz he didnt understand why you felt so sad;
[Father:] My boy, you have to face it, youre becoming a man!
Still you feel changin tunes where ever you go
Though even girls are looking at you everywhere
but I know baby, c'mon and get your share!
Lie of the Zombie (yeah!)...
Lie of the Zombie (yeah!)... Dont mess with the man!
Lie of the Zombie (yeah!)...
Lie of the Zombie (yeah!)... Dont mess with the Sam!
[Son:] Today I slept through my broken dream
Hmm, it wasnt how it should be...
[Zombie:] Code number 102!
[Son:] Now I think theyre going to cut me to pieces
Can I ever get the right answer or just lies
Nevermind 'coz theres no right way to swallow my pride
I am what I am on this crazy stand! (Lend your hand!)
[Zombie:] Please stop looking around
Please stop looking around - I got my lies in you!
Please stop looking around
Please stop looking around - I got my eyes in you!
[Son:] does it matter anymore?!
[Chorus]
3. I Held You So Long
A time of no passion lives somewhere in me
Its a pity to realize that theres no more love
I held you in my arms, I held you so tight
But one day the flame went out and I was alone
Oh, Im going on, I held you oh so long
Oh, Im going on, to find where I belong
I felt I was happy, no-one knew about me
Someday they will find out, how brave I've been
Oh, I held you oh so long
Oh, Im going on, I held you oh so long
Oh, Im going to the other side of dawn
Oh, Im going on like a hungry lion
But how strange, I felt empty, days didnt pass by
I missed you, felt helpless, I have to confess
Oh, Im coming back 'coz I held you oh so long
Oh, I need you so, theres no point in pretending
Oh, Im coming on, theres no hungry lion inside myself
4. Dedicated To The Flyers
Go, go, go, move on!
Fuck, fuck, fuck, have fun!
Lets go, go, go, go, go, and have some fun!
All right? It's time to fight, so trust yourself!
Lets fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck for our fun!
We play rock'n'roll, better look at yourself!
[Chorus:]
Dedicated to the flyers
Who dont give a fuck 'bout climbers
They just wanna live thru feelings
and thats sure a real good way to start
towards the paradise!
Go, go, go, run on! Fuck, fuck, fuck, move on!
Kiss my ass, kiss my song
Lets go (fuck!) all nite long!
Its only rock'n'roll, you better find it in yourself!
Theres no sense I this, no good advice
No real help for your stress
[Chorus]
Go, go, go, run on...
5. Lust Of Life
[Chorus:]
Go, everybody, go, to the lust of life!
Sitting here on this side of the fence,
though grass is greener on the other side
I thought id better here, but still it locks me down
Im the worst intervention in the whole history
Birds are shooting complicate series into my consciousness
At once Im back in time when there was no order of geometric stress
[Chorus]
Tired but happy I organize the world, trying to hear it louder
Lets go deeper into the world to live more for sight and sound
Many kinda robots are waiting for us to calculate our pride
Take me away, somewhere, anywhere, Ill be in and I will survive
Civilization?!
[Chorus]
Lifes so cruel, lifes such a bitch, (but) still its inviting us to play
Theres many dangers against the humans
but we have decided me to step inside
But I smashed the mirror down (like Tommy did)...
....banging the doors behind
Civilization?!
6. Vogue
7. Till The Music Nation
An orphan child walks and sniffs the air
in an orphan forest
everybody seems to whip him badly
in this world of jealousy
Hes lost in the sea of tears and cant confess
that he still exists.
He walks alone, hes as weird as a stone:
He broke his needle and he cant crawl
(Love him!)
He writes poems on a little red sheet
showingem to his granny (rest in peace)
he blows his mind, out in the fields, catching
just empty space
[Chorus]
Ride on - ride on - ride on - Ride on to liberation
Ride on - ride on - ride on - Ride on to destination
Ride on - ride on - ride on - Ride on to your own sensation
Ride on - ride on - ride on - Ride till the music nation comes!
He builds a heaven on the top of his room
forgetting the world outside
Then one prick comes, showing some interest, saying:
'I can make you a big star'
In his mind he climbs to the clouds, throwing
rotten flowers into the holes of the ground
So I ask: Who are you? Already leaving?
Isn't there any time..?
Ride on - ride on - ride on - Riding the liberation
Ride on - ride on - ride on - Riding the satisfaction
Ride on...
8. Fool's Gold
I am a tree with no leaves
I use her as much as she needs
How is my welfare and charm
Coldness pierces through to my thich
As always shit happens
Youll always reap what you will sow
I panic, you dont
We silly people with wicked thoughts
How can I stand what I am
Struggle inside pushed into a can
Hatred!
(The love for my...) hatred!
(The shining of my...) hatred!
Im torn everywhere
Another great feeling:
how I'll get you as fast as I can
You panic, I dont
Its only humanity I steam out
I don't wanna see you in my head
Its alright as long as you stay in bed
Rock me in your cradle to big sleep
Like a real man, I dont wanna weep
I have practised to raise a smile
Thats how I can keep you in my pile
But still in only yours (when passing time)
(...doing time, doing mine, all mine.......its all mine)
How is my welfare and charm
coz I cant give no helping arm
Hatred!
(Youre the screen of my...) hatred!
(Youre the t(h)rashcan of my...) hatred!
Cmon baby get yor share!
No panic, shit happens
Youll always reap what you will sow
You panic, me too
We silly people with wicked thoughts
9. You Know Better
I love the sound of dignity
I love to stand on my own two feet
I keep on watching the big sunset
Youd like to talk to me, but I wont let you, I bet
I know I love you - I know I hate you
I know I love you - I know I hate you (now)
I prefer to get cold in a hard rain
than to give anybody a chance to share my pain
I wanna feel the limits in my head
I wanna keep on sitting in the electric chair
I know I love you - I know I hate you
Thats why I put my faith in you
You know better what you are!
I know I love you - I know I hate you...
I love the sound of dignity
I love to stand on my own two feet
Sometimes Id like to change my way to go
to give my my confession and feel my flow
I know I love you
I know I hate you
Thats why I leave it up to you
coz you know better what you are!
10. Dance Electric
I wanna go jo-jo underground
I wanna live for sight and sound
I wanna move towards the flow
Dont let me walk down
Please, dont let me dry out
Dont let me walk down
I wanna spell your success:
better to wind up yourself
to a vague ball of experience
Dont let me walk down
Dont let me go down
Hey baby let me fly high
[Chorus]
I wanna dance
I wanna dance electric
Better toreally step outside
Better to look for bright colours
I wanna hear the metal sound!
Youre not a dead body
Like us, everybody
Hey baby, gimme your noise!
[Chorus]
11. Jukolauta
This is the life of a finnish man
when youre walking in winter snow
Your toes are icecold
You are what you are told
This is the life of a finnish man
See how they make you a man
You must stand quitetly everything
You need hard mind and body
12. Death Party
13. I'm A Believer
14. Fuckadelican Garden
C'mon into joy, this is our way
(and) we dont give a damn of what they'll say
We should stay in the light every single day
coz we are the warriors that can never fade away
Psychedelican is always there
so is all kinds of stuff wed like to share
People, lets ride on our wide smile
have a mosh and dont say goodbye to anything
15. Waltari-Lapio
You know all about flying, but dont tell me all your wisdom
coz just own imagination can throw us out of deadly routine
Livin in the naugty city (without no heart), blind
and mind full of emptiness
The long winter seems to fill your heart with
distrust and loneliness and cold
I wanna know wheres the deepest sea Tell me who you are, The Waltari!
Run with your flame into a big horizon
Fly with your thoughts above despair
Slow down with your hips in fast emotion
why cant we love fast in our heads
Lyrics in plain text format
