Lyrics
The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get, for my pain
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
Even though I know-i suppose I’ll show
All my cool and cold-like old job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Now I’m naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show
And what do you want, I want to change
And what have you got
When you feel the same
Even though I know-i suppose I’ll show
All my cool and cold-like old job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Tell me I’m the only one
Tell me there’s no other one
Jesus was an only son
Tell me I’m the chosen one
Jesus was an only son for you
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
And I still believe that I cannot be saved - 2 . …Said Sadly
Lyrics
(JI=James Iha, NG=Nina Gordon (of Veruca Salt), J+N=both)
JI: You should know that I love you
We should love like lovers do
And I can’t help but fall for you
Ah honey I’m just a fool
Now you know
NG: Darling, I’ll never be true
You see, for so long I was blue
JI: (I’m not the only one)
NG: And if I hurt, then you will, too
Ah honey I always lose
Now you know
J+N: Lover, when will you?
JI: I’m so afraid that no one cares
J+N: Lover, can’t find you
JI: I swear to God don’t leave me here
J+N: Now you know
J+N: Oh, you know that it can’t be
But no one else here really means
JI: (Anything to me)
J+N: If you hurt inside
If you confide in me again
NG: Since you ran away
JI: Hold me now, tell me how
Love is ours
J+N: Lover, when will you?
I’m so afraid that no one cares
Lover, can’t find you
And no one knows what brings us here
Lover
JI: Hold me now
NG: Hold me now
JI: Tell me how
J+N: Love is ours - 3 . You’re All I’ve Got Tonight
Lyrics
I don’t care if you hurt me some more
I don’t care if you even the score
You can knock me and I don’t care
You can mock me and I don’t care
You can rock me just about anywhere
It’s alright ‘cus you’re all I’ve got tonight
You’re all I’ve got tonight
You’re all I’ve got tonight
I need you tonight
I don’t care if you use me again
I don’t care if you abuse me again
You can make me I don’t care
You can bump me I don’t care
You can love me just about anywhere
It’s alright
- 4 . Clones
Lyrics
I’m a clone
I know it and I’m fine
I’m one and more are on the way
I’m two, doctor
Three’s on the line
He’ll take incubation another day
I’m all alone, so are we all
We’re all clones
All are one and one are all
All are one and one are all
We destroyed the government
We’re destroying time
No more problems on the way
I’m through doctor
We don’t need your kind
The other ones
Ugly ones
Stupid boys
Wrong ones
I’m all alone, so are we all
We’re all clones
All are one and one are all
All are one and one are all
Six is having problems
Adjusting to his clone status
Have to put him on a shelf
All day long we hear him crying so loud
I just wanna be myself
I just wanna be myself
I just wanna be myself
Be myself
Be myself
I’m all alone, so are we all
We destroyed the government
We’re destroyed time
No more problems on the way
I’m through doctor
We don’t need your kind
The other ones
Ugly ones
Stupid boys
Wrong ones
I’m all alone, so are we all
We’re all clones
All are one and one are all
All are one and one are all
I’m all alone, so are we all
We’re all clones
All are one and one are all
All are one and one are all - 5 . A Night Like This
Lyrics
Say goodbye on a night like this
If it’s the last thing we ever do
You never looked as lost as this
Sometimes it doesn’t even look like you
It goes dark
It goes darker still
Please stay
But I watch you like I’m made of stone
As you walk away
I’m coming to find you if it takes me all night
A witch hunt for another girl
For always and ever is always for you
Your trust
The most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world
Say hello on a day like today
Say it everytime you move
The way that you look at me now
Makes me wish I was you
It goes deep
It goes deeper still
This touch
And the smile and the shake of your head
I’m coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can’t stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect
Like before
I want to change it all
I want to change - 6 . Destination Unknown

Lyrics
Life is so strange when you don’t know
How can you tell where yore’ going to
You can’t be sure of any situation
Something could change and then you won’t know
Ask yourself
Where do we go from here
It seems so all to near
Just as far beyond as I can see
I still don’t know what this all means to me
Tell yourself
I have nowhere to go
I don’t know what to do
And I don’t even know the time of day
I guess it doesn’t matter any way
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don’t know
Your destination
Something could change
It’s unknown
And then you won’t know
Destination unknown
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don’t know
Your destination
Something could change
It’s unknown
And then you won’t know
Destination unknown
You ask yourself
When will my time come
Has it all been said and done
I know I’ll leave when it’s my time to go
Till then I’ll carry on with what I know
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don’t know
Your destination
Something could change
It’s unknown
And then you won’t know
Destination unknown
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don’t know
Your destination
And something could change
It’s unknown
And then you won’t know
Destination unknown
Life is so strange - 7 . Dreaming

Lyrics
When I met you in the restaurant you could tell I was no debutante
You asked me what’s my pleasure, “A movie or a measure”?
I’ll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming
Dreaming is free
I don’t want to live on charity
Pleasure’s real or is it fantasy?
Reel to reel is living rarity
People stop and stare at me, we just walk on by; we just keep on dreaming
Feet feet: walking a two mile
Meet meet: meet me at the turnstile
I never met him, I’ll never forget him
Dream dream: even for a little while
Dream dream: filling up an idle hour
Fade away, radiate
I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own; something you can have and hold
I’d build a road in gold just to have some dreaming
Dreaming is free
