Mi Namo El Hombre Invisible
Herr Niemand, Herr Niemand (x2)
I disappear back into the wallpaper
Exactly as predicted and planned
I leave an indelible blank
Nothing you would understand
I’ve been through major events
And no one ever knew I was there
I don’t know if anyone noticed
I doubt if anyone cared
Everyone takes my ideas
And passes them off as their own
I’d have a finger in so many pies
If I’d taken my bat and ball home
I’m an observer of everything
I take my notes and move on
And if I see something worth stealing
I’ll wrap it all up in a song

Car Town

Sol is down on this blue day
there's only one car to take you away
only one car 'cause they all burnt down
only one car to get you around
in this one car town...
and you're hear to say
there's no getting away
from this one car town
Vega light hits the eyes
artificial planet never dies
there's no way off
there's no way out
hide your fear in your heart of doubt...
and you're here to stay
there's no getting away
from this one car town
In vegaland the nights are long
the days don't even start
you're wide awake
but you don't sleep
on the streets, you stay smart

Remington Morning

I hold my court at the end of the day
I take my tribute from near and far
But I wake every morning and I’m all alone
Remington Morning, won’t you pick up the phone?
The storm was upon us and the sky it turned dark
But not so much as the stain on your heart
The wind came up sudden and the timbers did moan
Remington Morning, won’t you pick up the phone?
The rain it came down and the lightning struck
The thunder pounded and the foundations shook
There’s a frost in the air and it chills to the bone
Remington Morning, won’t you pick up the phone?

And The Lines In My Face
04:10
|

|
I can’t slow down so close to the end
You’re one of the few I consider a friend
The sands running out in what was my life
I’ll be lucky if I make it through this life
It’s a far smaller crowd than I was led to believe
I thought I’d be a bigger draw
I thought I’d catch their attention with one of my stunts
Nothing the folks saw before
I can’t let the likes of you see me like this
I’ve got an image to maintain
A rapidly decomposing aura of self
Without it we’d all be the same
I thought I’d be a household name by now
It seems you never get what you desire
Maybe it’s better if I stay in this rut
Everything else lost in the fire

You’d think this would get easier over time
And then I find myself sweating over every line
You don’t want to find yourself repeating an old song
But you’ve no guarantee anyone’s been listening all along
this one fought me all the way
This one made me sweat
This one fought me all the way
And this was the toughest yet
The pieces should come together with nothing out of place
But it never works as ordered and you end up losing face
Miss deadline after deadline which is something you should fear
Something due by xmas just opaque about the year
There’s something else you think even though it’s mainly fine
The point where you put too many worlds into one line
You’ve always an idea that it works out inside your head
But never pass that part on just carry on instead
this one fought me all the way
This one made me sweat
This one fought me all the way
And this was the toughest yet
This one fought me all the way once finished I gave up
But other people liked it what a stroke of luck
No one else sees the pain you put in writing every line
It’s just some low end mumbling which to them is fine

Suited & Booted
02:47
|
|||
|
Suited and Booted and ready to roll
Full of a false confidence
You just move one foot in front of the other
Moving's all you need when you dance
It’s nothing I can do for you
It’s something you do for yourself
Maybe I can draw you a map
But you need to take the steps for yourself
I’ve carved out a corner on this dancefloor
Everyone knows where it is
I’ve marked out my territory
And now everything stinks of my _
Leave me alone while I concentrate
I can’t put a single foot wrong
I’ve danced this way since 1979
To this or the next 15 songs
There’s nothing anyone can do for you now
You need to now make your peace
Maybe when you’ve got your house in order
Then you might find a release.

Big Boss In Fast Car
09:42
|
|||
|
Seduced by the simplicity
Seduced when he stopped the lift
A simple man in a simple suit
Promoted beyond his gifts
Big Boss in Fast Car
Does just enough to get by
Big Boss in Fast Car
No one will miss you when you die
Holding the fort with nothing upstairs
Mood swings and sudden rages
Holding it together while falling apart
A self own for the ages
A shadowy cabinet of nothings
the party placemen that history forgot
all of them with their dirty laundry
one strangled children until he was shot
History wasn't so kind to them
But it never shot them in the face
History never stuck jump leads on their parts
History never showered them in mace

Vegaville
04:13
|
|||
|
they’re tearing down the Rev statue in Vegaville
They want to make out he did it all alone
But you can’t deny when great minds collide
You can either go big or go home
Head off down the Ghost Rider Highway
Down boulevards that sort of look the same
It's at the front of the Johnny Teardrop arena
Near where the streets all bear his name
It’s a shadow of a town you might remember
A frame where someone used to live
Rocket USA from now until December
It’s never easy to forgive
