red line



april
beautiful world
breathe
cyanide
dream casino
dream the city's name
ellis island
emperor norton
the future
k5
let me out
lightning in the mind
love and delirium
new york confetti
out of the blue sky
out of your reach
red line
ruled by fear
seeker
shasta
smile
still life
telescopes and telephones
year of the dragon

I did suicide and survived
I did suicide and survived
Slain at a hundred and twenty five
I had left when you arrived
Blood flies rushing into your head
Feeling nothing and looking dead
Nine-five fever has burned a hole
Push that needle into your soul now

You reach inside yourself
Lights ablaze and sound waves rushing round your head
That scream is not your own
It’s a forty second red line through your soul

I did suicide and survived
Shot like a rocket on sonic drive
Fifteen minutes to come alive
Fifteen minutes when ghosts arrive
Love comes rushing into my head
I meant every word I said
Robot work can take its toll
I’m playing Tekken with my soul now

You reach inside yourself
Lights ablaze and sound waves rushing round your head
That scream is not your own
It’s a forty second red line through your soul

Sound waves are screaming through me
Light rays are streaming through me
Keep your head up, keep your head up
Overloading, overloading

(Waves, sounds, breathing, waves, sounds, breathing,
Red line screaming, red line screaming)

Your body's bent on suicide but your mind don't want to die
Launch yourself a mile from space with no good reason why
Won't be long 'til the clouds are gone and rocks will grate the eye
Hang your life from a piece of string, glad I learned to count to five
Now I'm overloading, overloading, overloading…

It’s your time, people be happy now
Break all your barriers down
It's your time, live life, don't worry now
Get off your merry-go-round

You wanna feel it, live and breathe it,
Or spend a whole life staring at the ceiling?
Ticking boxes, mission is accomplished
All you've got is paper
You feel alone now, where's that future?
Your body breaks down, cracking under torture
Life's so sweet, you're falling on your feet
You better cross that line now

It’s your time, people be happy now
Break all your barriers down

It’s your time, people be happy now
Break all your barriers down
