It happens only once or twice in a century Visible to the naked eye I’ve never seen anything like it before It happened when I was 1 year old Where have you been in 1986? And where will you be in 2061? I don’t know what the world will bring Will history books remain unkind?

Fire On Fire 03:33
Your head is rolling down the hill Far from your liver For I shall win, oh I shall win The sand you've borrowed from the sea Now follows me Spending time with a friend I had mentioned Burning endlessly Fire on fire Fire on fire Meet me down the rabbit hole It's quite alright When you whisper lies It's time for you to go hide And you held me in your mind As I wrote this song And when I cried, when I cried I knew you were gone Fire on fire Fire on fire Fire Fire, Fire Fire, Fire Fire on fire Fire on fire Fire on fire Fire on fire

Gabi Came In 02:41
Gabi came in I didn't see Brought in a cat Left it to me Where did you go I didn't see We live in a house with memories Looking back isn't hard as it seems Now that I know what's happening to me You called me the other day When I told you I was afraid Tunneling mice in the underground Looking for food and a place to sleep Over the falls is where i'll be Haze is a cat like Rosalie Living the life of the bourgeoisie Gabi came in I didn't see You saw me on my way When I told you I was ok

This Man 04:19
This man is lookin' at me He's got nothing else to do This guy looks at me He's got nothing to lose This man lives next to me He's got brown shoes All day long he watches the street He needs no excuse Two eyes to the north Two eyes to the west Two eyes to the south Two eyes are all he's got
5.
I hear a sound I hear a sound It's calling me It's calling me Out of my way Out of my way I hear a sound I see a face I see a face It's looking at me Looking at me Bright sunny day Bright sunny day I see a face Ohhhh I hear a sound
6.
On a night in Bethlehem You’ll know when you’ll see her Unlike nights in Amsterdam You can’t just quit in the middle Sitting in a trench and Bitten by mosquitoes On a night in Bethlehem You can’t just quit in the middle In and out of Israel I’ll know when I see you Unlike in Jerusalem I’m no longer a hero Lying on the limestone and Dreaming it’s a pillow On a night in Bethlehem You’ll know when I see you
7.
I'd like to intertwine A verb with number nine I'll try to understand Explain it in my mind I've got a friend called sam He put me in the ice On gleaming pebbly strand We've made a sacrifice You and I, we are the same We are spiders turned to candy And you try to stick around me Oh I know you all too well You and I, we are the same We drink from our own well
8.
She said look at my hair I'm not her I can see a knot in there Ashley's bend David calls it loss of control Fragile soul Making it the reason for his troubles He shook his head And raised his voice I'm not the one Not the one Steve said look at my head I'm not dead I can see the point in that Then he said David calls it loss of control Fragile soul Making it the reason for his troubles He turned his head Into the void I'm not the one Not the one
9.
Death creeps in On ragged hills It stops your heart And tears you apart So you bought a house And locked yourself in Afraid of the bomb And all negative things Death creeps in On ragged hills Fools rush in With cyanide pills Your mother is away Your father is out With nobody home You start to shout Death creeps in On ragged hills Fools rush in With cyanide pills Solo
10.
In the coming days You'll see him fly In a rolls royce Of his own design With a chop top And a viper stripe Through a great parade In the twilight And what follows follows With a big sound From the mainstream To the underground With the 606 and the 909 He went round, round, round The blue men came From the uptown With the sirens And the ray-guns They tracked our friend And chased him down When the chief declared That they had won But the story goes He was never found Case closed He went underground With the 606 and the 909 He went down, down, down A few years Down the line Hear the bells ring See the birds fly Then holy shit We saw the guy In a Cadillac Of his own design With mad lows And a pretty wife Past the crossroads Of our lives With the 606 and the 909 They went round, round, round
