Royalty

Hi. Hola. Bonjour. Parlez vous la haute monde?
My girl, she takes it to a level well beyond
The high society it courses through her psyche
And then she pounces like a lethal Aphrodite
(She comes from royalty)
And she's mine
(She's from the regency)
And she's mine
(She comes from royalty)
But she treats me hot and cold like a January heat wave
I love her but it's tiring when she's nothing but satirical
(Aaah aaah aaah)
That the royal bloodline passed on through
To this bloodless shrew is a medical miracle
(Aaah aaah aaah)
Anaphylaxis is the payment for her local honey
(Aaah aaah aaah)
She's always finding a new vein to liquidate her old money
(Aaah aaah aaah)
(She comes from royalty)
And she's mine
(She's from the regency)
And she's mine
(She comes from royalty)
But she treats me hot and cold like a January heat wave
(Royalty)
(She comes from Royalty)
She makes me
(Feel good) When she uses me
(Grateful) That I'm stuck with her
(Love life) And its imperfections
(Hopeful) For a better chance
(Flying high) When I stand beside her
(Joyful) When she gets her way
(Mesmerized] By her feline savvy
(Thankful] That I get to stay
That's what you get with royalty
(If the world moves fast)
She's a hypersonic pilot
(If the world gets loud)
She's a megaphone
(If the world gets primed)
She's the spark that's set to blow it
(If the world goes mad)
She's a lunatic asylum
(If the world moves fast)
She's a hypersonic pilot
(If the world gets loud)
She's a megaphone
(If the world gets primed)
She's the spark that's set to blow it
(If the world goes mad)
She's a lunatic asylum, welcoming her children back home
And she's mine
(She's from the regency)
And she's mine
(She comes from royalty)
But she treats me hot and cold like a January heat wave
(Royalty)
(She comes from Royalty)
She makes me
(Feel good) When she uses me
(Grateful) That I'm stuck with her
(Love life) And its imperfections
(Hopeful) For a better chance
(Flying high) When I stand beside her
(Joyful) When she gets her way
(Mesmerized) By her feline savvy
(Thankful) That I get to stay
That's what you get with royalty

Hypnotized
03:53
|
|||
|
Seventeen seconds and I'm under your spell
And then my mind goes spinning like a carousel
My senses start to steady but you're on the prowl
Another devious seduction of my rationale
Enchanted
It was a little thought that you planted
And we were dancing
Under a canopy of stars and moon and universe and
Love
It keeps me hypnotized
Love
Fascinated by its domination of my body and mind
Hey, hey, hey ya
Oh, love
Hey, hey, hey ya
Seventeen sessions at my therapy
Have shown me nothing but my underlying misery
Every night I try to ease you from my mind
And yet the burning light of yearning always keeps me blind
Enraptured
It was my little heart that you captured
I was enamored
By your connection to the stars and moon and universe and
Love
It keeps me hypnotized
Love
Fascinated by its domination of my body and mind
Hey, hey, hey ya
Oh, love love love love love
Hey, hey, hey ya
Love
It keeps me hypnotized, woah
Love
Fascinated by its domination of my body and mind
Love
It keeps me hypnotized, woah
Love
Fascinated by its domination of my body and mind

Don't Do It Again
03:27
|
|||
|
Don't tell me you fell for this
Don't tell me it's not your fault
Don't do it again
Don't tell me it's not your fault
Don't do it again
Baby
You're gonna have to grow up soon
Tell me that you didn't do it again
I got about a billion different things
To do instead of babysitting
A girl that can't be left to fend alone
First time
We kind of laughed it off together
Next time
You let me take the fall
Third time
You start to raise my blood pressure
Last time
Now it's gotten out of control
Don't tell me you fell for this
Don't tell me it's not your fault
Don't do it again
Don't tell me it's not your fault
Don't do it again
Lately
I've been dreaming 'bout a way to make this stop
Every situation needs a savior
I go into a hero's journey
My own personal Ragnarok
Bringing down the hammer on this tiresome behavior
First time
We kind of laughed it off together
Next time
You let me take the fall
Third time
You start to raise my blood pressure
Last time
Now it's gotten out of control
Don't tell me you fell for this
Don't tell me it's not your fault
Don't do it again
Don't tell me it's not your fault
Don't do it again
Don't tell me you fell for this
Don't tell me it's not your fault
Don't do it again
Don't tell me it's not your fault
Don't do it again

Ride the Disaster
02:51
|

|
We can ride the tsunami
We can take all our chances, we could never let it go
We can trigger the landslide
We can watch the avalanche of chaos flow
We can chase the tornado
We can push on through into the maelstrom's eye
We can scream like thunder
We can dance with the lightning from the swirling sky
Ride the disaster, our way
Ride the disaster, our way
Ride the disaster, all the way
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na aaaah
Oh, you keep your heart frozen
Encased in a glacier at twenty below
I'm just trying to break through
But my mind is a whirlwind of never ending snow
We could call each other beautiful
We could take each other higher
We could call each other beautiful
We could tiptoe the wire
When I triggered your downpour
And the rain was like daggers and the gales unfurled
And you felt my eruption
And we caused a cataclysm that shook the world
Ride the disaster, our way
Ride the disaster, our way
Ride the disaster, all the way
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na aaaah

Silk Road
03:35
|

|
If you ever take the Silk Road down to Kathmandu
Then you might uncover Himalayan Ecstasy
Hidden there for you
If you ever take the Silk Road through Turkmenistan
You might discover Caspian Tranquility
Conjured up for you
North road, South road
Doesn't make a difference when you've got the clout to show
My dream seduces sultans, kings, and pharaohs
In the lands so far from home
If you ever take the Silk Road through Mongolia
In the Gobi Desert is my one oasis
Vitalizing you
If you end your freaky trip in Lo-Yang Shih
The Yellow Jacket sting will set your senses tingling
Let your mind be free
North road, South road
Doesn't make a difference when you've got the clout to show
You'll dream the dreams of sultans, kings, and pharaohs
From the times so long ago
The Silk Road
If you ever need my love
The Silk Road
I'm bringing all your fantasies to you
The Silk Road
If you're yearning for my love
The Silk Road
I'm bringing all your fantasies to you
The Silk Road
When you're crying for my love
The Silk Road
I'm bringing all your fantasies to you
The Silk Road
When you're dying for my love
The Silk Road
Like the grain of sand that sets an avalanche in motion
Patience pays with a thousand years' devotion

Perfecting the no risk get quick rich thing
Buy low, sell high, time to cash out
Perfecting the no risk get quick rich thing
Buy low, sell high, time to cash out
Imagine enjoying the good life, the Rolexes and fast cars
The wine, the women, the parties, the yachts
All that and more
Gonna feel good to have the money of Rockefeller, Rothschild
A mansion in Miami Beach with Warhol décor
Straddling low on high yield assets
Play the short against the Japanese firms
Close the deal and Lear Jet to paradise
Pay no mind to those conditions and terms
Perfecting the no risk get quick rich thing
Buy low, sell high, time to cash out
Perfecting the no risk get quick rich thing
Buy low, sell high, time to cash out
One man's junk bond's another man's treasure
Your fortune won't grow without changing your song
Got a winning partner who'll manage my venture
I'm giving it all to Mikey who won't steer me wrong
Straddling low on high yield assets
Play the short against the Japanese firms
Close the deal and Lear Jet to paradise
Pay no mind to those conditions and terms
Perfecting the no risk get quick rich thing
Buy low, sell high, time to cash out
Perfecting the no risk get quick rich thing
Buy low, sell high, time to cash out
Time to cash out
Time to cash out
Time to cash out

Daphne's Calling

Daphne
You got yourself captured
Yet again
It's ghastly
What you're doing to my psyche
Come on girl spare me
From another senseless journey
Drawn and quartered from my pocket starts a feeding frenzy
Electronically
Up down right left, you're up
To no good Daphne
Your situation's looking nasty
It's a version of the reptile kingdom's
Stockholm syndrome
Messing with my heart
Save me Daphne's calling
You're messing with my heart
Save me Daphne's calling
Stop messing with my heart
Save me Daphne's calling
It's tearing me apart
Daphne
For a princess with an empire
Why you looking for a boy so badly
A prepubescent sugar daddy
Why the need for change
Down up right left, you're down
Inside this dungeon
Pardon my interruption
But isn't this a bit of Deja vu, this rendezvous
You're messing with my heart
Save me Daphne's calling
Stop messing with my heart
Save me Daphne's calling
You're messing with my heart
Save me Daphne's calling
You're tearing me apart
Oh, Daphne you treat me so hot and cold
Oh, Daphne you make me your fool
Oh, Daphne you know that I'm on my way
I'll heed your cries, I'll dare to try to win and save the

Who are you
Mary, Mary
Who are you
Mary, Mary
Try your best to remember what you told me
The other day
Do you want to
Found yourself on a catamaran to a Mexican bay
Do you recall how you got there at all
I know what you did, Mary, Mary
You can't run away from your sins, Mary, Mary
Why'd you do what you did, Mary, Mary
Pretty soon it will come flooding back to you
Who are you
Mary, Mary
Who are you
Mary, Mary
Three went missing last Saturday night
The news man said
Were you one too
Nothing to prove when you got no name or identity
But someone saw you go by
I know what you did, Mary, Mary
It's time to own your sins, Mary, Mary
Oh, what did you do, Mary, Mary
Did you not think it would catch-up with you
I bet you believed you were being discreet
You think no one noticed
But I saw you
You seem so at ease lying to yourself
Pretending nothing happened
But that damned spot won't come out at all
I know what you did, Mary Mary
You can't run away from your sins, Mary Mary
Why'd you do what you did, Mary Mary
Don't look now but it's finally caught up with you

Someone, Anyone Save Me
02:45

Oh lord, oh lord, Can you feel it now?
I'm bored, full discord, Can you feel it now?
Good god, this façade, Is it breaking down?
Good God, feeling flawed, And I'm shaking now
Oh lord I think I'm losing my mind
In the free fall spinning of this lunatic world
No one everyone everybody thinks I'm crazy
I'm scared and feeling left behind
In this micro-hypersonic digital world
Someone, anyone, anybody can you save me?
Oh lord, oh lord, Can you hear me now?
I'm bored, full discord, from the rat race now.
Good god, this façade, gotta break it down
Someone, anybody, can you save me?
I've spent nearly half of my life
In this half-baked overactive wandering mind
Why does everyone shade me for being lazy?
No stopping now, I'm fully bound
To this hyper-microdosing "deal with it" world
Someone, anyone, anybody can you save me?
(Save me) Gonna lay it all out on the line
(Save me) Don't believe when I say that I'm fine
(Save me) Can you help me still the winds
And calm the seas in my mind
Oh lord, oh lord, I can see it now
I'm bored, full discord, now I'm so run down
Good god, this façade, no more faking now
Someone, anybody, can you save me?

Deep Space Love
03:15
|

|
Just the other day, I travelled in my rocket ship to Jupiter
And the weather there was lovely
All the locals seemed to welcome me with open tentacles
And then I made an odd discovery
Alien ladies drive me crazy
Their beauty cuts right through me
Their love is extraterrestrial
I phoned home to let my millennial friends know
I'm in deep space love
The solar system bored me
so I took off to go cruising 'round the Milky Way
I explored so many places
I found a race of interstellar girls who ruled over the galaxy
Their allure was contagious
Alien ladies drive me crazy
Their beauty cuts right through me
Their love is extraterrestrial
I phoned home to let my millennial friends know
I'm in deep space love
Searching through the universe I finally found my soulmate
I took her back to earth and we had a master plan
Our children's children would colonize and populate
A new race to rule above the brainless man
Alien ladies drive me crazy
Their beauty cuts right through me
Their love is extraterrestrial
I phoned home to let my millennial friends know
I'm in deep space love
Tik'ki t'ga da da tik'ki t'ga da
Tik'ki t'ga da da tik'ki t'ga da
I'm in deep…
I'm in deep…
I'm in deep space love

Liquid 56
Liquid 56 encapsulates the essence of what made 80s indie music great. Flowing through the lyrics is an oddball wit mixed with a keen sense of worldly acumen that captures the sentiment of 1980s' disaffected youth, borne of musical innovation from the golden era of pop music. The music is a distillation of all our inspirations from bright pop to dark metal, and there's something here for everyone. ... more
