Call me a ghost But mind you I've got some pain So real it came alive In me (in me, in me) In me (in me) I halfway dissolved I'm half dead More than a phantom But less than a man Haunting her halls Like dust I'm halfway surprised At the touch of her hand On me (on me, on me) On me (on me) Picture perfect, broken frame Throw it away and start all over Lift me through a broken plane My open wound, my escalator

We are escalator walkers In the brand-new temple Came to reshape identities Shed our skins, be reborn And feel the same, feel the same That no one here is real We are moving standees In the shrine of choices Incarcerated between floors Of hope and disappointment We feel the same, feel the same No one here is real We feel the same, feel the same That nothing here is still We are stairway drifters Made of cyber paper Google boys and Wiki girls Children of the self-care We come to pray every single training day Looking for a chance to survive Buying reduced price illusions Floating into another light Melting into another lonely crowd We feel the same, feel the same That no one here is real We feel the same, feel the same That nothing here is still (still, still, still) Used to have our love And now disposable needs Used to have our souls And now refined new skins Dragging our feet Tired and deceived, slowly moving on Bracing shaky legs Against all those wasted years We roll the boulders of sins Up a hill of new days (Up, up, up) A hill of new days In the arms of the setting sun Our burdens cast shadows over fiery ground Catching final rays We try to reach the journey's end before the sun will die We sense we're almost there (we sense we're almost there) But the night comes too soon (the night comes to soon) And we crawl in the dark (we crawl in the dark, we crawl in the dark) Not ready to face up (not ready to face up) To unknowing lies (to unknowing lies) We ache to go back (ache to go back, ache to go back) But we can't stop But we can't stop So we walk ahead So we walk ahead But we can't stop But we can't stop So we walk ahead So we walk ahead Walk ahead

I feel jet-lagged everyday I've been out my mind, drinking anyway Do you have the time? Tell me what's the date Might be out of line, but I feel in place I thought I heard you say Up and down in the crowd Finally, I feel better now Off the ground, in the clouds Wish that you could see me now I don't doubt, say it loud Came up from the underground Turned around, made it out I wish that you could see me now I wish that you could see me now Wish that you could see me now I wish that you could see me now I wish that you could see me now Wish that you could see me now I wish that you could see me now Up and down in the crowd Finally, I feel better now Off the ground, in the clouds Wish that you could see me now I don't doubt, say it loud Came up from the underground Turned around, made it out I wish that you could see me now Up and down in the crowd Finally, I feel better now Off the ground, in the clouds Wish that you could see me now I don't doubt, say it loud Came up from the underground Turned around, made it out I wish that you could see me now I wish that you could see me now I wish that you could see me now Up and down in the crowd Finally, I feel better now Off the ground, in the clouds Wish that you could see me now I don't doubt, say it loud Came up from the underground Turned around, made it out I wish that you could see me now Whoa, my god That's that ninth gear

Get yourself together Let the light pour in Pour yourself a hot bath, pour yourself a drink Nothing's going to happen without warning Down is the new up What is a butter cup? Down is the new up, is the new up Won't you be my girl? Won't you be my girl? Your services are not required Your future's bleak, you're so last week Ladies and gentlemen, without a safety net I shall now perform a 180 flip-flop I shall now amputate, I shall now contort Because down is the new up What if I just flip-flopped? Down is the new up, down is the new up Down is the new up, is the new up You crawled off and left us You crawled off and left us Caught on Candid Camera The chink in your armor Topsy turvy town, topsy turvy town Shake your pockets out Pass it on, pass it down Topsy turvy town, topsy turvy town Up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up...

At 4 o'clock we land And I'll wave my flag for you Interest in heart We are not savage Like children We're people "What Difference" I say Music for chameleons Music for chameleons A dream of Siam We could leave in the morning Old friends and shy We need to win Like you need to breathe I've an interest in games Music for chameleons Music for chameleons Gowns for another show Maybe no-one will come Here take my arm I like the pictures And you like ghost stories Tomorrow I'll sigh Music for chameleons Music for chameleons

Night: her sable dome scattered with diamonds Fused my dust from a light year Squeezed me to her breast, sowed me with carbon Strung my warp across time Gave me each a horse, sunrise and graveyard Told me only I was her Bid me face the east closed me in questions Built the sky for my dawn Cleaned my feet of mud, followed the empty Zebra ride to the cirkus Past a painted cage, spoke to the paybox Glove which wrote on my tonque Pushed me down a slide to the arena Megaphonium fanfare In his cloak of words strode the ringmaster Bid me join the parade "Worship!" Cried the clown, "I'm a TV" "Making bandsmen go clockwork" "See the slinky seal cirkus policeman" "Bareback ladies have fish" Strongmen by his feet, plate-spinning statesman Accrobatically juggling Bids his tamers go quiet the tumblers Lest the mirror stop turning Elephants forgot, force-fed on stale chalk Ate the floors of their cages Strongmen lost their hair, paybox collapsed and Lions sharpened their teeth Gloves raced round the ring, stallions stampeded Pandemonium seesaw I ran for the door, ringmaster shouted "All the fun of the cirkus!"

(You weren't afraid of certain doom) You weren't afraid of certain doom They're climbing up the walls and hiding in your shoes There's no escape, they'll never lose Chameleons can change into a deeper hue You see your face? You're turning blue Surprised your life of lies could find you in your room You lay in wait, they'll be here soon Chameleons will make you into cheap perfume Die, Die, Die Die, Die, Die! (You weren't afraid of certain doom)
