Rocketman
I get my dreams from a satellite, I watch the girls in my TV light
I get to heaven all alone at night, so I’m a dreamer, not a believer
Gettin’ high on a Saturday night, I got my chemicals mixed just right,
See I got heaven coming up inside, so I’m a dreamer, guess I’m a Rocketman
Rocketman, if you can, take me on a cosmic holiday,
Rocletman, if you can, take me on a cruise through the Milky Way,
Rocketman, if you can, take me away
I get me kicks from the thunderball, like I’ve been playing an amusement hall,
But I’m still in doin’ nothing at all, so entertain me, you’ll never change me,
I’m getting high with my TV on, communicating via cellular phone,
I got an email to turn you on, so I’m a dreamer, guess I’m a Rocketman
Rocketman, if you can, take me on a cosmic holiday,
Rocletman, if you can, take me on a cruise through the Milky Way,
Rocketman, if you can, take me on a starship far away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, take me away,
Rocketman, if you can, take me away
Take me up take me higher Rocketman,
Take me up take me higher Rocketman,
Take me up take me higher Rocketman,
Take me up take me higher…
Rocketman, if you can, take me on a cosmic holiday,
Rocletman, if you can, take me on a cruise through the galaxy,
Rocketman, if you can, take me on a starship far away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, take me away,
Rocketman, if you can, take me away
Take me up take me higher Rocketman,
Take me up take me higher Rocketman,
Take me up take me higher Rocketman,
Take me up take me higher Rocketman

Lost in Space
Tell me what the spaceman said in 1967,
Tell me what my mother said when I was too young to listen,
I’m lost in space, I’m lost in time
Tell me what the spacemen said when they looked up to heaven,
Tell me what the angels said ‘cause i don’t think I’ll be one,
I’m lost in space, I’m lost in time
I’m lost in space, I’m lost in time
Tell me where the spacemen go, I think I’ll go be one
Tell me what is peace and love, I think I might need some
I’m lost in space, I’m lost in time
I’m lost in space, I’m lost in time
Someone show me where to run,
Show me where I’m coming from,
Someone show me where I’m going wrong
Tell me where the spacemen go, I think I’ll go see them
Tell me when they’re going home, I think I might leave then
I’m lost in space, I’m lost in time
I’m lost in space, I’m lost in time
I’m lost in space, I’m lost in time
I’m lost in space, I’m lost in time
I’m flying high and I touch the sky, I’m never coming down again, no…

Marie Marie
Marie, Marie, I can’t take it any longer,
Marie, Marie, can I move a little closer?
Marie, Marie, I can feel it growing stronger
Am I wasting my time, ‘cause I’m losing my mind,
I’m unable to fly, the time has come I’ve got to know
Now is not the time to go, I heard it on the radio and it set me free
Am I wasting my time, ‘cause I’m losing my mind,
Now I’ve got to know, Marie, Marie
Marie, Marie, I can’t take it any longer,
Marie, Marie, can I move a little closer?
Marie, Marie, I can feel it growing stronger
Am I wasting my time, ‘cause I’m losing my mind,
I’m unable to fly, the time has come I’ve got to know
Now is not the time to go, I heard it on the radio and it set me free
Am I wasting my time, ‘cause I’m losing my mind,
Now I’ve got to know, Marie, Marie
Am I wasting my time, am I wasting my mind
So say you believe me, so where do, so where do we go?
The time has come I’ve got to know…
Now is not the time to go, I heard it on the radio and it set me free
Am I wasting my time, ‘cause I’m losing my mind,
Now I’ve got to know, Marie, Marie
Now I’ve got to know,
Now I’ve got to know,
No I’ve got to… go

Jesus was a Junkie
The world could fall apart, and maybe Jesus was an astronaut,
And then it really wouldn't matter ‘cause the aliens will kill us all
The sun could fall out the sky, and every living thing could die,
And maybe Saddam Hussein would start another holocaust,
I’m feeling kind of special, I’m feeling kind of strange
My mother doesn’t want to know me,
My friends all think I’m a zombie
But as long as you’re thinking of me then I don’t care
The clocks stop telling time, but the aliens are divine,
But maybe Jesus was a junkie and he’s coming back to save my soul
I’m feeling kind of special, I’m feeling kind of strange
My mother doesn’t want to know me,
My friends all think I’m a zombie
But as long as you’re thinking of me then I don’t care
But what if I’m divine, would millions watch my suicide,
Tear these crazy demons from my head
I’m feeling kind of special, I’m feeling kind of strange
My mother doesn’t want to know me,
My friends all think I’m a zombie
But as long as you’re thinking of me then I don’t care, yeah, yeah
I don’t care, yeah, yeah
Then I don't’ care

Today’s the Day
I never did drugs and I never got high,
Never got laid and I never want to die,
I never did sin and I never did lie,
Never did dream and I never kissed the sky,
I never did drugs and I never got high,
Never got laid and I never
But today is the day, that it’s all gonna change
‘Cause I had all these pills and then everything went very strange
Oh but today’s the day, I made the connection, we know what you are
Oh but today’s the day, I joined the action, we know what you are
Never got you but you never got me,
You never got down but you never set me free,
Never cut class and I never was late
I never got down and I never complicate it
I never did drugs and I never got high,
Never got laid and I never
But today is the day, that it’s all gonna change
‘Cause I had all these pills and then everything went very strange
Oh but today’s the day, I joined the action, we know what you are
Oh but today’s the day, I made the connection, we know what you are
I never did drugs and I never got high,
Never got laid and I never
But today is the day, that it’s all gonna change
‘Cause I had all these pills and then everything went very strange
Oh but today’s the day, I joined the action, we know what you are
Oh but today’s the day, I made the connection, we know what you are
We know what you, we know what you
We know what you are

Trashing out in bars ‘cause we ain’t hot, yet
We’re a Rock ‘n Roll band and we’re gonna go bang

Givin’ it back, givin’ it back with the knowledge, and the boys in the black
Givin’ it back, givin’ it back with the knowledge, and the boys in the black

23rd Century Girl
Chemicals lust inside my heart, my eyes stay locked on Venus,
I dance so close yet so far out, a lovesick wall between us,
Yet given what I’ve heard I’m so absurd, I should reach out to feel her,
But I’ve lived in walls for 18 years, and i don’t seem ready to leave yet
I had a close encounter with a girl from Mars,
Who took me dancing out among the stars,
She let me ride upon her time machine,
But then she left this world for the 23rd century
Chemical bliss has turned my seoul, the champagne’s turned my smile on,
I’m radiating peace and love, enough to get you high on,
But I don’t see what’s real for me, I’m the lunatic in the asylum,
I think I missed my chance with that last dance, so I build these walls to fly from
I had a close encounter with a girl from Mars,
Who took me dancing out among the stars,
She let me ride upon her time machine,
But then she left this world for the 23rd century
So take me with you when you fly away, so take me on
So take me with you when you fly away,
I had a close encounter with a girl from Mars,
Who took me dancing out among the stars,
She let me ride upon her time machine,
But then she left this world for the 23rd century
for the 23rd century
for the 23rd century
for the 23rd century

Spaced Out
It’s been three weeks now and we’re on our way, moving from place to place,
And we’re on the road and we’re making friends, tryin’ to find some that play
And I want you, so far from home I really, really need to,
Just one more toke to help me make the grade
Cause I’m spaced out again, cause I’m spaced out
Is this really happening to me
Now we’re running hard, and we’ll find a way, running on yesterday,
And another gig and another place, another bottle of champagne,
And I want you,
Just one more toke to help me make the grade
Cause I’m spaced out again, cause I’m spaced out again
Positivity and lovin’ everywhere
Honestly, I didn’t think that anyone would be listening to me
Cause I’m spaced out again, cause I’m spaced out again
Cause I’m spaced out again, cause I’m spaced out again

High
Fallin’ out from the inside out of a hole
Waking up to the break of night in the cold,
Breathe, everything stops at the top of her world
She goes down, down on me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh, take me high again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh, take me till, it’s time to fly, again
Falling out and I’m falling… in,
I’m free fallin’, fallin’ ________
The world stands still while I’m re-entering
I’m looking down, down
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh, make me high again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh, take me till, it’s time to fly, again
(Down, down)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh, make me high again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh, take me till, it’s time to fly, again
(Down, down)

Demented
If I could find a way to kill you then I will
If I could find a way to spill your blood or knock you over I
Would not hesitate to bury you again
I'll stop you respirating while I put you six feet under
If I could kill you now I would and burn and burn and burn
'cause I'm demented and I'll never learn
If I could find a way to kill you then I will
If I could find a way to kill myself I’ll pull you under I
Would not hesitate to be with you again
I'll keep your bones from aching while I put you six feet under
If I could kill you now I would and burn and burn and burn
'cause I'm demented and I'll never learn
You won't save me
I'm so crazy
If I could kill you now I would and burn and burn and burn
'cause I'm demented and I'll never learn
If I could kill you now I would and burn and burn and burn
'cause I'm demented and I'll never learn

Chemical Angel
Who's gonna be my modern girl, modern girl, modern girl
And take my body to another world
Cos there's something inside of me that says you will
Who's gonna be my razor queen, razor queen, razor queen
And take my body like a line of speed
Cos there's something inside me that's what you need
I'm so glad I'm living with a modern girl, she gets me high
We're so glad we're living in a different world from what you are
Who's gonna be my chemical angel, chemical angel, chemical angel
And take my body to a level of danger
Cos there's something inside of me that's growing stranger
Who's gonna give me what I want
Who's gonna give me what I want
Who's gonna give me what I want
And take me higher than an astronaut
(Is this gently rocking?)
I'm so glad I'm living with a modern girl, she gets me high
We're so glad we're living in a different world from what you are
I'm so glad I'm living with a modern girl, she gets me high
We're so glad we're living in a different world from what you are
