Motel Monaco 04:16
Can you see it? The way things are different now Can you see us? How bold we have become With love passing away, You just want to explain Our past doesn’t care how we live or die Just hold still my baby, While I take your photo again Let us linger in this moment with our child Can you see it? The color in our black and white, Can you see us? Through the rush of time Now I don’t need to forget I’m still, and I see your face Let the anemoia steal your pain Through time and time and again Gonna punch the wall to forget We will rise back from the grave We all live the same in Motel Monaco

Walking through these streets of this great unknown Trying to find the words I’ve been looking for Through these suburban sights Whole nation's drinking hard to remember Evoking their finer days And who will they become Come on get in But come in ready Stop for the night Stop for the night on Lawless boulevard All our old friends still don’t know us Cause we are now our father’s sons Our time is yet to come When in need I can resemble Something dreamt at an early age Our minds have lost the fun Come on get in But come in ready Stop for the night Stop for the night on Lawless boulevard Come on let us down Cause we will let you now Come on let us down Cause we will let you now Stop for the night Stop for a fight We have arrived We have arrived on Lawless boulevard

Ride 03:19
Take me out tonight Take me out for a ride All the colors keep growing and changing shape All the people keep growing but the scene has changed Take me out tonight, our streets are at unrest Take me out for a ride, ‘till the early morning sun Up all night Your dark is bright Up all night Your dark is bright Take me out tonight Take me out for a ride Take me out for a ride we’re gonna circle around This neighborhood's a dream yeah Chasing speed, it’s so relieving Don’t take me home tonight, just take me out of here Up all night Your dark is bright Up all night Your dark is bright Up all night Your dark is bright Up all night Your time is right

Cut Me Loose 03:41
Took a taste with a stolen tongue With a gun pointed at the sky I’m bolting, I’m blasting Head first into the wall of the sound Once famed sixteen fire Not afraid to be alive My trigger, you pulled yeah Over and over and over again But can you see me now? But can you see us now? Cut me loose I used to keep you deep down We used to torch the sky Substitution mass confusion It resides inside your head Now fear, is wasted Over and over and over again Over and over and over again Cut me loose Keep your feet steady now, keep it in line Keep your feet steady now, keep it alive Down, down, down in the underground You’ll drown, drown, drown in your silence now Cut me loose

Skyward 04:04
Fell through this ground cause it’s heaven If less is more than nothing's everything I've been thinking about, about something But really it is nothing in particular Maybe the best is years behind us Maybe the best is far behind us Skyward We're burning air in the dark Burning one day at the time I want to breathe in skyward Live through this time let’s twin boogie I’ve been thinking about how you do that shuffle You can show me, and I will waltz you through this life with bloom But I never danced that much, I just want you to know On and on and on and on and skyward On and on and on and on and skyward Maybe the best is years behind us Maybe the best is far behind us If it’s the same to you, then it is the same to me You know me, you know I hate to agree

Come on give it a shot in night city Come on give it a shot in night city Give it a shot Give it a shot Come on give it a shot entertainment night city Come on bleed out my heart and take me to night city I gave it a shot Give it a shot Come on step outside, the stakes are high in night city Come on bleed out my heart, give in to temptress night city Dream as if you’ll live forever Cause youth is always wasted on the young Everybody’s only selling their dreams Growing through rose city that is the night city Give it a shot I didn’t realize it, ‘till I didn’t realize I’m chasing the dragon through tides eclectic lines Don’t you ever feel like we all belong In the night city living in their underground Don’t you ever feel like a prime animal Roaming through red city that is the night city
7.
No need to fight it now Over and over again Nobody will ever know We’ll never say another living soul about it I need to feel your longing now Clock’s ticking, Time is running out No need to set our hearts on fire But you will Into the night Into the night I’ll tell you lies I’ll tell you lies I’ll talk you into it Don’t stop now, we’re almost there Rouge et noir We can’t beat it, yet we may try I’ve got the feeling, it’s taking us over again I need to feel your guard unwind Before we eat up all the lies I see you slowly fall for it Yeah you will Into the night Into the night I’ll tell you lies I’ll tell you lies I’ll talk you into it

Neon Love 05:40
When it’s gone, I’m begging it for more You know I hated when we were lost In our political daydream car We wanted to feel the open shore Blaze beneath our years And as it strips us away We are begging it for The night was young, The crowds, the midnight heat Remember that highway in 84 We never even really saw The arsenal of democracy Couldn’t keep me away from you We rode our vices self-assured, Still I’m begging it for I wanted to see it Wanted to greet the fall Memories fading When all is deceiving You turn to the streets and crawl Cause everything will Fall through my neon love Fall through my neon love Now let us drink until we die, Let’s drink one last time I know you better than you think I even know why Some days I wish I could go back Not to change a single thing, Just to see a few things twice Start begging you for more I wanted to see it Wanted to greet the fall Memories fading When all is deceiving You turn to the streets and crawl Cause everything will Fall through my neon love Fall through my neon love I’m begging you I’m begging you I’m begging youth for more Still all of the time you’re asking yourself have we been here before
9.
Another noon with the blinds drawn This place has never been a home I’ll try and crack a smile like I mean it Never loved travelling or staying home Sometimes I just got nothing to say I don’t know where we will be in a year Buying her love at the disco lounge Living our weeks in oblivion I don’t know what I’m doing here It Seems like fun but still I hate the taste Looking for more white at wedding’s again I know that girl she's got it pure as snow Sitting drinking in our quiet town I don’t know where we will be in a month Losing our savings at casino slots Living our weeks in oblivion Before I’m gone and before you’re awake Before we turn to another hit Before we're lost in silence again Before it’s gone and before the haze ‘till we run through another dream Coming undone until you feel numb Losing our minds in oblivion We're sitting glued to our tv cloud Tuning into it’s stream of mind Waiting for those better times Waving our lives to oblivion

Wasted Youth 04:52
I feel it coming It’s getting closer Peering through the shades I don’t want to cheat another hour You know I’m never ever late But sometimes my watchman kills me in my sleep Those dreams of old age, drown me in my sweat So, come on fast And bring the trouble I’ll come out even stronger I just want to breathe another lover And keep my veins juvenile This place always finds me in my sleep Me and my friends in there reside in vice paradise Are we the gone? Are we the lost? Are we the one you need? I want your wasted youth, I want it, i wanted you I want your wasted youth I lost mine years ago I want your wasted youth I want it, i wanted you I want your wasted So, come on fast And bring the riot Out of the silver screen I don’t want to bleed another hour Feel the teenage thrill Come to the side door, walk into our suite Me and my friends in there reside in vice paradise Are we the gone? Are we the lost? Are we the one you need? I want your wasted youth, I want it, i wanted you I want your wasted youth I lost mine years ago I want your wasted youth I want it, i wanted you I want your wasted I’m coming apart so soon

Really? 04:02
When you really love an honest way Then you’ll truly fear a lonesome way One of us will be the savior One of us will make it home One of us will eat the failure One of us will take the fall Right or wrong, I’m right from the start Gonna make you sweat till you believe it Right or wrong, fight from the start Find something pure to believe in Hold on, blood keeps pumping strong I’m Gonna make you lie till you believe it I wanna say it I won’t fade away, yeah I wanna say it I would never trade it I wanna say it We will break the chain, yeah And tear all this apart When you really love
