[edit] Lyrics
[edit] Stunt Pilots
It made a spark
Don't let the radars get you
Somehow send you down
And crash the car
But don't let the engine stop
They're dying to catch you
We ought to be all over
All in the news
We ought to be stunt pilots
Stunt pilots, stunt pilots
It made a spark
Don't let the radars get you
Somehow send you down
They look so hot
Don't let the engines quit
They're dying to catch you
We ought to be all over
All in the news
We ought to be stunt pilots
Stunt pilots, stunt pilots
[edit] Hyperactive
Before the sun went down
And before he knew what's going on
A kiss storm like a meteor shower
Her lips got hyperactive
So hold her down
So hold her down
So hold her down
So hold her down
After the chandeliers went out
In the big grand hotel downtown
On her wrist like a beautiful flower
Her lips got hyperactive
So hold her now
So hold her now
So hold her now
So hold her down
Grab on tightly with your legs and arms
'cause we are just the same as all those other animals
We weren't put here just to wait, you know
So hold on now
Hyperactive
Her lips are hyperactive
Her lips are hyperactive
Her lips are hyperactive
So hold her down, so hold..
Grab on tightly with your legs and arms
'cause we are just the same as all those other animals
We weren't put here just to wait, you know
So hold on, now
[edit] Get Famous
When you haven't got any sense
And a sick ghastly pallor
Well the poor kid never had a chance
And people heard that you're dead
But you haven't
You haven't left the city yet
Oh, get famous, get famous, get famous
Oh, so even if it takes every white blood cell
You ever ever have
When you haven't got any friends
And the pharmacist recommends
A B complex for this condition
And no, you haven't
You haven't left the city yet
Oh, get famous, get famous, get famous
Oh, so even if it takes every white blood cell
You ever ever have
You stand to the side
When the amtrak speeds by
Close our eyes and pretend
That it's going to hit us
And try to decide
As the amtrak speeds by
To live or die, to live or die
Well, oh well
Get famous, get famous, get famous
Get famous, get famous, get famous
Get F-A-M-O-U-S, here we are
4-3-2-1 uh oh
[edit] Nerve Gas
Standing here
In the ballroom as
The dancers twirling everything
To the marching drums
Lying here
In your yard alone as all the
Old war pilots have gone
And oh this little bird heart got so cracked
But they'll sleep deep tonight
Oh yeah, won't they, for sure
While we'll just be sleep walking
These dirty streets
Yah, better eject
Oh as we are, nerve gas over us
Just leave the nerve gas on
Lying here in your yard alone
As all all the paratroopers fall
And oh this little bird heart got so cracked
I wanna sleep deep tonight
Oh yeah, cant we, for sure
Just let us be tonight
Yah, better eject
Oh as we are, nerve gas over us
Yah, leave that nerve gas on
So just sleep deep tonight
Oh yah, can't we, for sure
Just let us sleep tonight
[edit] Hummingbirds the Size of Bullets
And my skin she said it shakes
So hard the gears are falling off
And the walls, they seem to jump out of place
And fly like kites in outerspace
And we're running out of here
Prepared to throw ourselves off somewhere
I'm lightheaded and can't explain
I'm lightheaded and can't explain
And my stomach, it feels like
Hummingbirds the size of bullets are caught inside
And the walls, they seem to burst thru the planes
And fly like kites thru outer space
And we're running out of air
Prepared to thro ourselves off somewhere
I'm lightheaded and can't explain
I'm lightheaded and can't explain
And my skin she said it shakes
It's hummingbirds the size of space
[edit] Love Sick
So high in the frequencies
He's her chemical scream
But she has to breathe tonight
And can't remember the last time smiling
And so she swings to the snow on the radio
Saying over and over and over
'cause it's their world outside
That they could set on fire
She wants to jump off cliffs
While holding on to you
And here we are, you're lovesick
You're lovesick
Yea, just quit it
So high in the frequencies
She's his heroine dream
But he has to sleep tonight
And can't even believe he's trying
And so he's crashed by the snow of the t.v. show
Turning over and over and over
'cause it's their world outside
That just smells like fire
He wants to jump like insects
Flying all around you
Just give it up, you're lovesick
You're lovesick, now just quit it
Quit it, over and over and over
'cause its their world on fire
And it just smells like smoke
He wants to jump like insects
Flying next to you so here we are
We're lovesick we're lovesick
[edit] Sleeping Like Electric Eels
Oh no, how the thrill has gone
Just age and carry on
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Were sleeping like electric eels
And looking like a psyco
In a real good dream
Oh lets go 'a the controls
We all want to be safe
Safe in in magnetic fields
Slowly floating still
Where are we going?
Hello, hello, hello, hello
We're sleeping like electric eels
And laughing at the psycho
In a real bad scene just like we are
We are science fiction wimps
Thinking that we're real stunt pilots
That let go of controls
We all want to be safe
In magnetic fields
Slowly floting still
[edit] Kill Hannah
And she made such an entrance
Yeah one blink explode the cinder blocks
What a smart bomb, she sighed and said,
"I hope i'm not forgettable"
And when you kiss ice
Sometimes it sticks to your lips
And sometimes i see battleships
Stop everything, kill hannah
'cause she knows it's just a game
Stop the world, kill hannah
Cause in her plastic flower garden
There's no room for more plastic flowers
And time goes by
And history's dead
And all the magic show
Is all inside her head
Oh maybe im too much in love
Yea maybe im too much in love
But maybe im too much insane
Stop everything, kill hannah
'cause she knows it's just a game
And there must be a hole in my head
Stop the world, kill hannah
Cause in her plastic flower garden
There's no room for more plastic flowers
[edit] Chloroform (Slow Reaction)
Don't wait too long
Well his chance was lost
He stood his feet
Outside where we are
Right now, I can't wait too long
So what, she's shy and she's gonna die
Slow reaction
Slow reaction
Too slow to react but you'll never forget her
Oh, but now it's over
Oh, but now it's over
Right now, I can't wait too long
So what, she's shy and gonna die
I'll wait outside the show
After the set is over
I'll wait outside the show
After the set is over
After the set is over
I know you're so fucked up on it
Oh, oh, doot doot doo doot doot doot doot doo
I wait on chloroform
Sometimes we're so Fucked up on it
Slow reaction
Slow reaction
Too slow to react but he'll never forget her
But not it's over
And now it's over
[edit] Toy Soldier
Red blue and white
Pixel kids
Over 72 dpi
We're over now
Toy soldier, soldier...
Toy soldier, toy...
I've heard dreams like this could last for never and ever
I've heard stories how they crash
Soldier, toy soldier
Toy...
I've heard dreams like this could last for never and ever
I've heard stories how they crash for never and ever
I've heard dreams like this could last for never and ever
I've heard stories how they crash
Soldier, toy soldier
Toy soldier

[edit] Trivia
Toy Soldier, the hidden track at the end of the album, is commonly refered to as "Toy Soldier For Never And Ever." In actuality, the song is just called Toy Soldier. Another interesting fact is that the phrase "For Never And Aver" in the song predates the album released by the same name by about 7 years.
