Ghost of the robot Lyrics:

Angel
She comes home to me after a hard night's work
Falls in my arms and sleeps like a bird
Startle, wakes up, like she don't know me
Cocks back her fist like she's going to slug me
Like, who are you anyway
And what are you doing to me?

She's an angel
But she can't see it
She's got wings,
But she can't feel 'em
She's an angel
But she can't see it
But she's flying above me every day
Every day of my life

Bright diamond eyes with daggers beneath them
She carries the chains of a million decisions
That weren't even hers to begin with anyway
But she carries them all
All the people around her
Never even notice that she's very very tired

She's an angel
But she can't see it
She's got wings
But she can't feel 'em
She's an angel
But she can't see it
But she's rising above me every day
Every day of my life

Blocking Brainwaves
Do you want to be happy?
Do you want to have fun?
Take on buried treasure
I could be the one...
Hear me, out here... hear me, out.
I can't describe
Just can't subscribe
I'm telling vision
Glad to be alive
You say I can't relate to you
Some things I need to prove
Can't find the right words to use
Brainwaves won't pass through

When I wake up from seizures on an island full of slaves
All I see is smiles from the lack of brainwaves
There is no thinking so I check my mind in at the door
Nothing to contemplate I won't need it anymore
Ignorance it must be bliss
Never dealing with things like this
Thinking happy comes from a kiss
Regret all you've missed

Call 911
The sun no longer shines on your side
Remember this cold
When the fog won't lift in your town
And you turn old
I heard you killed your only friend last year
You're such a disease
You can buy your other friends
But you can't buy me

Chorus
Disarm, can you hear the British ambulance
Breaking down, trick, bomb still goes
Tick tick time on by, watching me explode

When did I create you?
Did you ever destroy me?
Can this be settled with questions?
I can't think of anything.

I'm just a little boy with an untrained voice
But I have cannons for arms
I play the guitar and songs
With hidden missiles and bombs

Repeat Chorus

Dangerous
I don't think you know my name
And I think you'd leave me standing in the rain
You're a pretty little girl, got a thing for me
But you cut me open and let me bleed
But I'll be looking at you
With your long brown hair
Pretty little feet
sparkling everywhere

You look so good
When you come my way
But I have to look down
When you talk to me

'Cause you're dangerous
Your dangerous
Your dangerous
And you don't even know it

One baby, two, maybe three more years
You'll be a full grown baby, have all your curves
Here's a little taste of irony
You'll be a 10 hot lady, too good for me

An I'll be looking at you
With your long brown hair
Pretty little feet
sparkling everywhere

You look so good
When you come my way
But I have to look down
When you talk to me

'Cause you're dangerous
Your dangerous
Your dangerous
And you don't even know it

So little girl, you better stay set
You playing with fire when you get too wet
So sit me down and leave me be
You find the devil when you unchain me

But I'll be looking at you
With your long brown hair
Pretty little feet
sparkling everywhere

You look so good
When you come my way
But I have to look down
When you talk to me

'Cause you're dangerous
Your dangerous
Your dangerous
And you don't even know it

David Letterman
Wouldn't it be nice, if I could be, David Letterman?
Wouldn't in be rad, if I could be, your favourite TV personality?
Wouldn't it be sweet, if I could laugh you to sleep,
five nights a week?
And I try as hard as I can,
but I could never be David Letterman...
I know he knows you look up to him,
but you don't visit his sleep,
I know I know this is what I missed, your eyes are just for me,
really don't see how we could be, I still put trust in fate,
it's something slow that I don't know so I say...

Wouldn't it be nice, if I could be, David Letterman?
Wouldn't in be rad, if I could be, your favourite TV personality?
Wouldn't it be sweet, if I could laugh you to sleep,
five nights a week?
And I try as hard as I can,
but I could never be David Letterman...

German.Jewish
I'm German, you're Jewish
How could we ever make it through this?
I've got this problem, that seems to linger
Every time I find myself around your finger
This would make more sense, in another time
Not in America where we're westernized
But if we were, what would I do
What would I have said to what we've gone through?

War won't stop me, I'm no Nazi
That's why I'd never tell
If you were fighting, surviving hiding
Behind an old bookshelf

I'm German, you're Jewish
How could we ever make it through this?
I've got this problem, that seems to linger
Every time I find myself around your finger

you've always been above, in some higher class
I'm just a small rock star, you're an actress
what could I say, to ever prove to you
that there can be a love between a German and a Jew?

War won't stop me, I'm no Nazi
That's why I'd never tell
If you were fighting, surviving hiding
Behind an old bookshelf...

Good Night Sweet Girl
Are we done for now,
Or is this for good,
Will there be something in time?
With us there should.

Only girl for me is you
There can be no other one
If I didn't have faith
I would come undone

So much promise in your eyes
Seems that I can only see
It always makes me wonder
If you save it all for me

Maybe you do
Maybe you don't
Maybe you should
Probably wont...

Because there will be...

There will be other guys
Who will whisper in your ear
Say they'll take away you sadness
And your fears

They may be kind and true
They may be good for you
But they'll never care for you
More than I do

I'll be always there
There to the end
I can't do much
But be your one true friend

To the end
Through the end
Our lives to spend
With each other till the end
Of time...

Still see the promise in your eyes
And still wonder if it's for me
But i know it's still there
Even when you sleep

So I say, good night sweet girl

Goodbye
I don't care what people are gonna say about it
I just wanna sit here and drink your sweet wine
Know you're gonna say you're too young for me but
Think if I kiss you that would be fine
Know how it's gonna end before it ever starts now
Gonna give me love sweeter than pie
Part your lips as if you're gonna kiss me
Say a word that's gonna break me

Bye, bye bye bye goodbye
Bye, bye bye bye goodbye

Christopher Robin gave old Pooh up
Grown up, didn't need Pooh no more
Babe, believe me this ain't the first time
I've been thrown down on the playroom floor

Bye, bye bye bye goodbye
Bye, bye bye bye goodbye

Bye bye baby, baby bye bye
Bye bye
Bye bye baby, baby
Sorry baby,
I'm just fast

Liar
I don't mean to sound mean
When I talk about the day
I believed every single
Words she said
But things change like she changed
Something's not the same
Found the things she said and do
Were never true

Cause
She's a liar
That won't expire
Fools with desire
Leaves you behind
She didn't break me
She said - can't you see
We can never be
because you're crazy

Sure I'm crazy
Only crazy to think
That you could change forever
She would lie even if
The truth sounded better
Never tell someone you love them
If they love you because
They will die when they hear the truth

That won't expire
Fools with desire
Leaves you behind

She's a liar
She's a liar
She's a liar

Mad Brilliant
We are bitter opposites, it stings when you hit
Me like a kick to the head when I heard what you said
Did you even consider, you are making us bitter
I guess you're justified, because of your weak mind
Chorus
When our lips first met, you didn't get the hang of it
I bet that you still kiss like me,
you realize it when you hear this

You have managed to steer clear, for yet another whole year
Although I did see you, I only caught lies you threw
When you were there with the band,
acceptance letter not in hand
Hugging your "cool" boyfriend, did you ever tell him?

Repeat Chorus

Realize it when you kiss

Mefiant
It's not fair ya know
When you're the only one in tune.
It's not fair my love
When you're not broken hearted too.
It's not fair anymore...
All the schemes that you dream about
Won't matter at all when you wake up alone.
And if she really haunts you now
Just pick up the phone.. but, you know you won't.

It's not fair ya know
When you're the only one in tune.
It's not fair my love
When you're not broken hearted too.
It's not fair anymore...

Smile
In, I'm falling in
I didn't want to
Not so fast, boy
Slow,
Don't wanna hurt the girl
Get her a pretty box
You better fill it
And I get blinded when she opens the door
It's like looking into the sun, you know
And I'm just blinkin', mumblin', starin' at my shoes
And she just looks at me
And smiles
Smiles
Smiles

Oh, there we go again
And it feels so good
To fall up and down
Damn, it's 2 AM again
And she kisses me goodbye
For the sixteenth time
And I'm driving home, it's 2 AM
And I look at the sun come up over the hills
And the clouds are turning pink and green
And all I can see is eyes
Eyes
Eyes

I get blinded when she opens the door
It's like looking into the sun, you know
And I'm just blinkin', mumblin', starin' at my shoes
She just looks at me
And smiles
Smiles
Smiles

Sounds Like A Personal Problem
What is this crap, I'm going through,
where am I at, and who are you,
to make me feel, like I'm so scared,
caught me off-guard, was not prepared,
for you,
so smart, so cool,
to me,
life seems, it shouldn't be this way.
So here I am, and there you are,
sitting so close, feeling so far,
from me and I, can't figure out,
what I should say, what's this about,
to you,
too smart, too cool,
for me,
life seems, it shouldn't be this way...

Valerie
Got an old Smiths' record
and I put it on endlessly.
To mourn a lethal fascination
with a girl named Valerie.
She got a XXX rating
and maybe someday she'd have married me.
But, she was born to keep me waiting.
Her name was Valerie.

With a little more time, I was thinking
we could've worked my hooks into you.

Over a recent complication
I came to find that she'd tired of me.
She wrote the book of Revelations.
Her name was Valerie.

With a little more time, I was thinking
we could've worked my life around you.
With a little more time...

Vehicles Shock Me
So you caught me all alone
Did you think I'd care at all
Now I'm sitting by the phone
Waiting for you to call
It rang a million times
Before you picked it up
I wear a stupid smile
Saying that I'm stuck
The effervescent beauty of a face so thin
All the stupid questions
Well they did me in

Who was I to think to tell
You drove her to uh oh oh
Fake plastic trees are dead
Have a good time when you fall

It rang a million times
Before I picked it up
I wear a stupid smile
Saying that I'm stuck
The effervescent beauty of a face so thin
All the stupid questions
Well they did me in

Everything
Is upside down
Everything
Is over now

It rang a million times
When you lied to me
It rang a million times
When you lied
It rang a million times
It rang a million times
It rang a million times
It rang a million times

It's your birthday
And I'm not there
Because you don't even
Know that I'm here
Fake trees you
Plant behind you
When it's me there
Right beside you
I'm the shade that
Creeps your shoulder
When you hide your face from me

I Can't get over
Can't get under
Can't get around or
Through to you

I Can't get over
Can't get under
Can't get around or
Through to you

Everything
Is over now
