Magic Glass 04:00
I’m looking through a magic glass There’s someone lying on the grass A picnic basket and a box of KFC The only thing that’s missing is me   I hear a mystical reprise Reminds me of the ocean breeze I close my eyes and feel the water on my face I wonder if I’ll ever get back to that special place   I don’t believe that I can change my fate They say that life’s not always fair I won’t get dragged into that old debate I only wish I could be there   I’m looking through a magic glass My boss is sitting on his ass Someone is serving him a sample of their best I think I’d better look away before I get depressed   I don’t believe that I can change my fate They say that life’s not always fair I won’t get dragged into that old debate I only wish I could be there

Who knows you who cares Who sees you and stares You’re careful with your signs Your signal rarely shines   So what’s in it for you Where is your old crew Are they living in the past Did their big dreams die at last   See the future Beyond the phase you’re in Seek forgiveness Behind the face of sin   Be mindful of your stuff Three boxes is enough Stop packing when you’re done Stop fighting when you’ve won   Sleep over on the floor Then stumble through the door Be careful on the street You know who you will meet   See the future Beyond the phase you’re in Seek forgiveness Behind the face of sin   See the future Beyond the phase you’re in Ride the impulse Give way to discipline Make the future The best place to begin Seek forgiveness Behind the face of sin   Who knows you who cares Who sees you and stares Be careful on the street You know who you will meet

Nipple Slips 03:42
Everybody take a seat There’s no danger I repeat Mr. Censor will protect To preserve your self-respect   Don’t want to tell you that They will not tell you what they want They only want to show you What they’ll show when they flaunt   Two dimensions on the screen Pretty faces old routine Same old story in your lap Nine, eight central the same old crap   Don’t want to tell you that They will not tell you what they want They only want to show you What they’ll show when they flaunt   Keep your eyes shut tight With your fingers in your ears You’d accept the endless lies Because the truth is too severe Tell your friends to look away Before the madness pulls ‘em down Oh, and watch out for the nipple slips They’re coming to your town   Don’t want to tell you that They will not tell you what they want They only want to show you What they’ll show when they flaunt   Keep your eyes shut tight With your fingers in your ears You’d accept the endless lies Because the truth is too severe Tell your friends to look away Before the madness pulls ‘em down Oh, and watch out for the nipple slips They’re coming to your town

The Sun 03:54
People gathered with picket signs Warning of the dangers in the solar mines Sunlight depletion right from the source Our epitaph will be written on the course   Point your fingers strain your eyes Give it time and you will surely hear the cries Let’s solve the problem then carry on Don’t be foolish taken by another con   Watch the stars as they fade out one by one Giving way to the power of the sun   Condescending cynic with a TV spot Uninformed opinion is like a random thought The facts are simple the world is scared Survival is the question if any will be spared   Watch the stars as they fade out one by one Giving way to the power of the sun   The sun is up the whole world seems okay Like a dream the doubts have washed away Then it hits you remember where you’ve been Hold your breath the clouds are rolling in   Watch the stars as they fade out one by one Giving way to the power of the sun   People gathered with picket signs Warning of the dangers in the solar mines The facts are simple the world is scared Survival is the question if any will be spared
