Johnny always knew how to fake his kid brother out Told him he was an alien on Halloween night They camped out in the back yard He pointed up at the sky And said that a UFO would take him some time. "Make it up, make it up! Shut up Johnny, you're always making shit up." "You'll be sorry when the space ship comes." Got sent to the principal Because he wouldn't quit telling lies He told his classmates all their ships are camouflaged Green and white His home was a city made of diamonds Everyone was invited Jupiter's air smells like warm fires And it snows all the time. "Make it up, make it up! Shut up Johnny, always making shit up." "You'll be sorry when the space ship comes." "You'll make it worse if you keep this up. Don't make it worse, you're a dreamer." Then one night, the whole neighborhood Went out on the street to see The midnight commotion All fog and metal and laser beams. Turns out he was right. Johnny boards the ship. He will spend his life chasing comet dust And choking on robot rust. Johnny's brother runs to the door crying, "Don't go! Don't go!" The neighborhood behind him screaming, "Leave us alone! Leave us alone!" Johnny tells his brother, "When you look at Earth from space, It takes your breath away. Nobody really belongs here. It's time to go home."

Crazy Horses 03:11
lyrics

I was still a kid when I first fell in love. It was the only thing that made me want to grow up. I was just six years old when I learned that I am lazy. The dogs bark their brains out It starts to drive me crazy But I don't move from the window. I could stare out there all day Think about the horses, all the days they got away. You should have seen them run! Now I'm love with a city girl. I shot my best friend so I could be with her. She says everyone she knows dies or goes away. And now we're running from the cops And I think we're pretty lost But I'm never gonna let 'em take me! No way! I would take the whole country on for you! I will never let a thing happen to you! We are getting out of this alive! Here we go, now...run! Run! Leaving hoof prints in the mud

My Maracca 04:26
lyrics

You make me space out, baby You freeze all space and time You make me space out, baby You and your black hole eyes You're gonna be a star Stars can be suns Suns can give life Life can be fun If you relax, bite your lips and try to have a good time. There's a lot of glittery things to see in the city If you squint, the streetlights, the stars and the snow All blur into one. My speakers are exploding like bullhorn bombs. If angels play the harp, Then the devil plays the drums. So dance, dance, dance Get up and make me dance I dare you to try to make me dance I'm a robot, baby Dance, dance, dance No beat could make me move Nothing makes me shake but my maracca But if the dance floor's dark And the disco ball is shining bright Then the devil might have me dance with you tonight You make me think bad things, baby You've got me out my mind. You make me shiver, baby You and your black hole eyes. So dance, dance, dance Get up and make me dance I dare you to try to make me dance I'm a robot, baby Dance, dance, dance No beat could make me move Nothing makes me shake but my maracca Shake, shake!

Motown Heart 03:05
lyrics

The saddest things in the world Are snow and rock and roll Depending on the lighting, you remind me of both Every song's a love song if you rearrange the words Every soul is an airplane trying to be a bird You won't notice I'm gone if I never make a sound Hang out by the jukebox I'll be around I have a confession to make: I will love you no matter how many pills you take 'Til you can't stand up or look at me straight 'Til I have to carry you home like a bag full of bones Sucking the icicles out of your eyes. You won't notice I'm gone if I never make a sound. Hang out by the jukebox I'll be around Stumbling drunk Who'd have thunk? You make it bad, so bad sometimes Babe, you make it bad Skip me like a record, baby Skip me like a stone. You broke my Motown heart.

Oh my God! What have we done? There used to be trees planted 'round my heart Hannah says there are many people who want my head The tin can birds, they make such a noise! The noises and the lights! The noises and the lights! It's too loud and it's too bright! There are children and dogs everywhere! The children bark and the dogs they stare Sledding hills and solar flares Warm my hands with cigarettes Ain't been the same since Johnny left Ain't got no heart! Ain't got no soul! All we listen to is metal and cellphone tones And girly-pop rock and roll! We've made such a mess of this place! Oh, well! Some day we'll crash into the sun! These days it hurts a bit more No one knocks on my see-through door Sarah takes her medicine We feed ourselves to Ripple and Theremin The stars come out, why don't I look at them? I'm the luckiest man alive! I should have died! Now every day I wait for some sign to come That our orbit is off and the way we've spun Our whole lives is wrong, wrong, wrong. You see, life is better when it hurts! Life is better when it hurts! Life is better with a broken heart! You can leave me but I'll chase you Through the galaxy! I found two snowflakes that were exactly the same. I fell in love with one and gave the other a name. Everyone she knows dies or goes away. Cheer up, my love! Some day we'll crash into the sun!

Oh, to be near you You and your robot glow Stay with me dear We'll make our home in the snow Oh, what a wonderful thing this is! I know in that mess of wires a heart exists Oh, what a wonderful thing this could be! You and your electricity! In love with me... You could love me and get all rusty Darling, won't you trust me? It's all worth it. You'll see. Give yourself up and take all of me We'll work around it. Me and all my calculations Lack algorithms for all sensations But oh! What have my numbers missed? Could those frosty eyes hide my robot bliss? Oh, how improbable all this is! My operating system was not programmed for this! Oh, the impossibility of circuits, cogs, and logic stuff Computing something as warm as love... You could love me and get all rusty Darling, won't you trust me? It's all worth it. You'll see. Give yourself up and take all of me We'll work around it. Please don't melt! Don't blow away!
