01. Endless Alibi

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
There will come a day when the rain will fall
The sky will fall, too - a tragedy in blue
And the rage will come
You would not like me when I am angry
But you might like me, yeah, when I've had a few
A few blue balloons
To raise the ancient ruins of my brain
All my pain, my never ending reign
As king of into the unknown
Have you seen the incandescent queen?
Could you put her on the telephone?

'Cause it won't be long until we get back home
We're running but it isn't far to the backseat of my car
In a world that's full of crime
Baby, I just wish that I
Could be your endless alibi

Something in the way that she says to me:
"Come on boy, let's leave - it's time to stop
Believing in a ghost from another day
When life was lined with innocent and guilty"
And it never goes away until I've had a few
A few blue balloons
To raise the ancient ruins of my brain
All my pain, my never ending reign
As king of into the unknown
Have you seen the incandescent queen?
Could you put her on the telephone?
Yeah

'Cause it won't be long until we get back home
We're running but it isn't far to the backseat of my car
In a world that's full of crime
Baby, I just wish that I
Could be your...
No more heroes, no more zeros
They all have gone away
The future comes today
No more red lines, no more headlines at all
The future comes today, and with it melts away
The ice cream memory

'Cause it won't be long until we get back home
We're running but it isn't far to the backseat of my car
In a world that's full of crime
Baby, I just wish that I
Could be your endless alibi

'Cause it won't be long until we get back home
We're running but it isn't far to the backseat of my car
In a world that's full of crime
Baby, I just wish that I
Could be your endless alibi

('Cause it won't be long)
Yeah
(Running but it isn't far)
Yeah

In a world that's full of crime
Baby, I just wish that I
Could be your endless alibi

02. Halloween

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
Deeper, deeper than God
The kid is just a sleeper
Look in his eyes
"I think he's got a fever
Should I get his mom?"
No, go and get a scalpel
We're planting a bomb
I think we'll build a tower
Inside of his head
That topples every hour
Renders him dead
We'll put him in a blender
See how he does
Until he can't remember
The boy that he was
This is Halloween
It's Halloween
Ha ha ha ha
This is Halloween
Whoever you are
Persistence - this is the key
Lock him in a basement
Leave him to me
A thing goes wrong
In the darkness unseen
As we're lighting them up
You know they're splicing the gene

This is Halloween
It's Halloween
Ha ha ha ha
This is Halloween
Whoever you are

The sin is the same
For masking the blame
But you didn't wanna
Down in the valley below
There's people on fire
And they don't even know

This is Halloween
It's Halloween
Ha ha ha ha
This is Halloween
Whoever you are?

(This is Halloween)
Many thanks to you
Many things to do
And the beat goes on
(This is Halloween)
Until the beat gets through
Teary eyes only see
A blurry reality
And the beat goes on
Until the beat gets free

03. Dregs

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
Yaaaaiiiii!

Awake in the dark
Dreaming of day
Skating my life away
On impossible ice, but I didn't know
Why do I hate me so?
Burn into ash, ash into dust
Aren't these the gods we trust?
Gone out of their minds
In for the kill
But I can remember still...

Days gone by
Welcome to the dregs of my mind
Right on time
Welcome to the dregs of my mind
Welcome to the dregs of my mind
Welcome to the dregs of my mind

Thought of a lie, and
Thought of a bomb
Thought if I played along
That I might slip away
And out on my own
Guess that I should've known
As bullets divide flesh of the sky
Sunlight goes bleeding by
Gone out of their minds
In for the kill
But I can remember still...

Days gone by
Welcome to the dregs of my mind
Right on time
Welcome to the dregs of my mind
Welcome to the dregs of my mind
Welcome to the dregs of my mind

Burn into ash, ash into dust
Aren't these the gods we trust?
Dreaming awake
What can I do?
What ever happened to...
Days gone by?
Welcome to the dregs of my mind
Right on time
Welcome to the dregs of my mind
Welcome to the dregs of my mind
Welcome to the dregs of my mind

04. Broadway Alien

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
He can't get in, he can't get out
It starts to spin, he rounds about
So you're leaving town
I watch you turn the bend
But the earth is round
You'll be back again

The name of us is this, my love

We gotta get out of here
Methinks the end is near
We gotta get out of here
Methinks the end is near

The name of us is this: broadway alien
The game is to exist because we can
The name of us is this: the alien
The game is to exist at all, my love

Hahahahahahaha

A domicile, but the truth remains
She picks apart my brains
Oh so strange

We gotta get out of here
Methinks the end is near

The name of us is this: broadway alien
The game is to exist because we can
The name of us is this: the alien
The game is to exist at all, my love

(So you're leaving town)
So you're leaving town
(Watch you turn the bend)
Watch you turn the bend
(But the earth is round)
But the earth is round
(You'll be back again)
You'll be back again

Wake up
And let's get out of here
Methinks the end is near

The name of us is this: broadway alien
The game is to exist because we can
The name of us is this: the alien
You know the game is to exist at all, my love

My love
My love
My love

The name of us is this: the alien
The game is to exist at all, my love

05. Signs Of Life

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
Who do you think you are?
Are you Allison?
Are you on the sun
And searching for a star?
Do you know what you are?
An insect in a jar
What do you think you see?
You know, nothing's for free
You're a robot in a dildo factory
You are the interdimensional
You're the illusion of the fake
You're the Play-Doh
And the oven Easy Bake
Do you know what's at stake?
(Over there)
Colorful ladies are combing their hair
Searching for enemies
They don't care where
Looking around for signs of life
Sharpening their knives
4 o'clock in the morning
And I'm mourning for the last
Of the passers by
As I go walking past
At last
In their eyes there's astronomy
There's a stranger striking tones
There's a dragon
Dragging on his broken bones
He'd like to crawl back home
(Over there)
Colorful ladies are combing their hair
Searching for enemies
They don't care where
Looking around for signs of life
Sharpening their knives
(Over there)
Colorful ladies are combing their hair
Searching for enemies
They don't care where
Looking around for signs of life
(Over there)
Colorful ladies are combing their hair
Searching for enemies
They don't care where
Looking around for signs of life
Sharpening their knives

06. Dive

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
Faith - pretending you are not home
I almost believe you
But now you're not alone
'Cause I can perceive you

She floats in the water
And I think she's drowning alive
Like a lamb to the slaughter
Boy, don't be a fool
She'll be draining the pool as you dive

Sure - ignorance seems to be free
I'd like to remind you
The price of what you don't see
Oh shit, look out behind you

A ghost in the water
And I think she thinks she's alive
Like a lamb to the slaughter
Boy, don't be a fool, she'll be draining the pool as you...

Dive into the same black hole
Survival of the fittest soul
(The door is opened up before your eyes)
(Except our perception is) way too slow
There are no final goodbyes on this earth

Oh...the doc's only daughter, and now...

She floats in the water
And I think she's drowning alive
Like a lamb to the slaughter
Boy, don't be a fool all your life

A ghost in the water
And I think she thinks she's alive
Like a lamb to the slaughter
Boy, don't be a fool
She'll be draining the pool

Oh no, don't be a fool, she'll be draining the pool
Oh no, don't be a fool, she'll be draining the pool as you dive

No, don't be a fool, she'll be draining the pool
Don't be a fool, she'll be draining the pool
Don't be a fool, she'll be draining the pool as you dive

07. Fable

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
Alarmed by fascination
The darkness in me grows
A moment's hesitation
The dark assumes control
Really, I don't know what matters
I only know two things
First it is a flower that flatters
Second is a scorpion stings
I'm giving up on a wish in the well
Alright
I'm sick and tired of trying to tell
Whether I'm facing front or back
Waiting in line, let me sling this fable
Have you seen the papers?
They're written from a bird's eye view
Unsafe beneath a surface of saviors
They can't see me or you
I'm giving up on a wish in the well
Alright
I'm sick and tired of trying to tell
Whether I'm facing front or back
Waiting in line, let me sling this fable
Well the future came today
The alarm bell sounds the stage
While these fools twiddle their thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
I'm giving up on a wish in the well
Alright
I'm sick and tired of trying to tell
Oh yeah
I'm giving up on a wish in the well
Oh yeah
I'm sick and tired
Whether I am facing front or back
Waiting in line, let me sling this fable

08. Pretty Girls

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
Well I don't really know what I've done
But they tell me it's 4:21
And the snakes are all shedding the light
While I stockpile secrets
Alone in my darkness

I'm searching the crowd for a smile
But there are no pretty girls in style
In the 9th grade of Hell where I'm from
There are no pretty girls - how come?

For the State of the Union Address
He'll be dressing himself for the press
They'll be pressing him up to confess
That the state of the union's a mess
And the point is...

He's searching the crowd for a smile
But there are no pretty girls in style
In the 9th grade of Hell where he's from
There are no pretty girls - how come?

There's a man overboard underneath
That don't shut up - oddly enough he can't speak
That's not enough
Melody might spring a leak they can't shut off
A ship slowly sinking at sea, we self destruct

Well they came in the dead of the night
And they looked to be looking to fight
So I challenged the lead to the line
And he broke me like glass
As he passed into presently...

Searching the crowd for a smile
But there are no pretty girls in style
In the 9th grade of Hell where they're from
There are no pretty girls - how come?

Well I'm searching the crowd for a smile
But there are no pretty girls in style
In the 9th grade of Hell where I'm from
There are no pretty girls - how come?

09. Bedroom In Hell

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
Hell's not hot
It's so cold that it burns
So I'm watching the pot
Until the fire returns
Voices of those familiar
Whisper "I'm sorry my son
If the devil ain't already killed you
Thy kingdom may never come"
Yeah
So what do you think
Of my bedroom in Hell?
Always drips in the sink
Never a drop in the well

One by one the guilty trudge
All in single file
One by one they leap from the ledge
One by one they land in the pile
And they wait for the fireworks to start
They wait in the darkness alone
If the devil had half of a heart
Oh, then he might just come back home

So what do you think
Of my bedroom in Hell?
Always drips in the sink
Never a drop in the well

Well I hope you don't
Think me ungrateful
But I can't think of what
Could be worse
Than to sit all alone on a bed
Made of stone
Watching the shadows rehearse
See, Hell ain't no place
Where they melt you down, no
In fact it's so cold that you learn
Oh, to sit with your sins
'Til a new day begins
And the devil returns

So what do you think
Of my bedroom in Hell?
Always drips in the sink
Never a drop in the well
Yeah
So what do you think
Of my bedroom in Hell?
Always drips in the sink
Oh, never a drop in the well

Never a drop in the well
Oh there's never a drop in the well
Well there's never a drop in the well
Never a drop in the well
Never a drop in the well

10. Amaze Disgrace

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
Amaze disgrace
How sweet the sound
Of footfalls in
The underground
And rise my children
Come and play
The perfect earth
She's been blown away
And don't you fear it
When you hear it
Stirring down below
Don't you get that's
How it lets itself into your soul?
These walls are too thin to
Hide our screams
Amaze disgrace
Oh how sweet it is
Your life's blood bleeds
Along your wrist
And rise my children
Come and see
The perfect earth
Catastrophe
And don't you fear it when you hear it
Stirring down below
Don't you get that's how it lets
Itself into your soul?
These walls are too thin to hide our screams
It was a night like tonight
So many years ago
I was drawn towards the light
Held on too tight, could not let go
And rise my children come and play
The perfect earth, she's been blown away
And don't you fear it when you hear it
Stirring down below
(Stirring down below)
Don't you get that's how it lets
Itself into your soul?
(Self into your soul)
And don't you fear it when you hear it
Stirring down below
(Stirring down below)
Don't you get that's how it lets
Itself into your soul?
These walls are too thin to
Hide our screams
Amaze (disgrace)
(Amaze disgrace)
Amaze...

11. Soul Reality

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
Spaceship - long trip - fat lip - fly
I'm gonna miss you
Back on planet Earth
Now that I'm so high
Been a long time
Living in a world of crime
Never again, friend of a friend
Telling it's a lie
Boy, I think you're way out of line
Better luck again next time
Never again, friend of a friend
Telling it's a lie

And I don't understand
Why'd they choose me
The abduction of my soul reality
How long I've been gone
I do not really know
But I think I see a planet below

Spaceship - long trip - fat lip - fly
It's been a long time
Living in a world of crime
Never again, friend of a friend
Telling it's a lie

And I don't understand
Why'd they choose me
The abduction of my soul reality
How long I've been gone
I do not really know
But I think I see a planet below

And I don't understand
Why'd they choose me
The abduction of my soul reality
How long I've been gone
I do not really know
But I think I see a planet below

I don't understand
Why'd they choose me
The abduction of my own reality
How long I've been gone
Well, I do not really know
But I think I see
Think I see a planet
(Below)
Below

12. The Latest From Mars

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
Me and the latest from Mars
Clone our respective goodbyes
Shedding a skin full of scars
Peeling the lids from our eyes

I know they don't seem to care
I don't think they understand
I don't think they understand

Claire, where the hell of you been?
I've waited for more than an hour
Out there's a whole world of sin
Back home the milk has gone sour

I know they don't seem to care
I don't think they understand
I don't think they understand

Hopelessly out of control
Dividing yourself from your soul
You think I don't know what you've done
Right now it's 4:21

I know they don't seem to care
I don't think they understand
I don't think they understand
I think my brain is off
I'm just a little peculiar
A word goes in one ear and
Into the future
To think I never saw you
I only pretended
Your show got preempted, though
And that's the truth

I know they don't seem to care
I don't think they understand
I don't think they understand

I know they don't seem to care
I don't think they understand
I don't think they understand
