    Lyrics

    If there is a god

    I know he likes to rock

    He likes his loud guitars

    His spiders from mars

    And if there is a god

    I know she's watching me

    She says she likes what she sees

    But there's trouble on the breeze

    Who are you this time?

    Are you one of us, flying blind

    Cause I'm down here throwing stones

    While you're so far from home

    And if there is a god

    I know they're on tv

    The spies with bedroom eyes

    That cower in our skies

    Who are you this time? are you one of us, flying blind

    Cause I'm down here throwing stones

    While you're so far from home

    Lyrics

    (Billy: ok)

    (James: nice, uh, sound you've got...)

    (Jimmy: ready?)

    Pop tart, what's the matter?

    Did you lose what you're after?

    For your tears, I'm still singing

    For your fears, I am ringing

    From houston on downer buzz

    Like you said, it's just because

    You'll detonate your long lost kisses

    Wished on the eve of forgotten blessings

    Start your way for some new impression

    Try to hold on

    For this heart, a little bit stronger

    Try to hold on

    To this love alone

    Try to hold on

    For this heart's never been broken

    So try to hold on

    Try to hold on

    Pop tart, did you flatter?

    When they spoke of my disasters

    At thirteen I lost my compass

    But I'm sure it's all accomplished

    As desires on my ghost trains

    Like you said, when it rains

    It pours down the back of the bitter son

    Desperate for love and loves everyone

    In my mother's arms no simple harm

    Conspires to hold on

    For this heart, a little bit closer

    Try to hold on

    To this love alone

    Try to hold on

    And we know if we go under

    We just can't let go

    No, no

    Pop tart, will it matter?

    If I lose and just shatter

    Will you cry, and keep crying

    Will I die, and keep dying

    In tokyo, with sad tragic blues

    Like you said it's how you use

    'Cause someday we'll know if this even matters

    Our rings and maze and simplicity

    When can we laugh and take all the credit

    And know we'll go free

    With our hearts a little bit stronger

    Try to hold on

    For this love alone

    Try to hold on

    For this heart's a little bit frightened

    Just try to hold on

    Just try to hold on

    Just try

    (Let's roll back a little bit)

    Lyrics

    If I were alive

    If I were real

    Would you survive

    What would you feel, now

    Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

    Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

    If I were dead

    Would my records sell

    Could you ever tell

    Or is it just as well

    Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

    Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

    Could you long to love

    Could you want to see

    Coming down below

    Coming down for me

    Will you write my songs

    Will you shake the hands

    Could you understand

    It's not yours to keep

    Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

    Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

    Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

    Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

    Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

    Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

    Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

    Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

    Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

    Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

    Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

    Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

    Heavy metal
