- 1. Big Red Gun
Lyrics
Brothers in arms who share my fears,
Time to protect what you hold dear
There’s been a rise in new ideals,
Threatening to change the way we live
Who knows what trouble’s found a way,
Found a way to your door today
Who knows what trouble’s on its way,
On its way to intimidate
All I want is a big red gun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
I’m gonna shoot, shoot, shoot at the setting sun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
And all I want is a big red gun,
I’m gonna shoot, shoot, shoot till the thrill is gone
‘Cause this is my right no matter the cost
Get outta my sight when baby’s got a big red gun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
Baby’s got a big red gun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
Pride is a weapon in your hand
Freedom awards the faithful man
I hear the message loud and clear,
Straight from his lips into my ear
And lord I just can’t walk away,
Walk away from the enemy
The law will never disagree,
On the target of my insecurities
All I want is a big red gun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
I’m gonna shoot, shoot, shoot at the setting sun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
And all I want is a big red gun,
I’m gonna shoot, shoot, shoot till the thrill is gone
And how many lives will have to be lost to understand why my baby’s got a big red gun?
We call them twisted and deranged (baby’s got a big red gun)
But we gave them the keys to annihilate (baby’s got a big red gun)
How long before the next one’s in the ground? (Baby’s got a big red gun)
So proud of all your history (baby’s got a big red gun)
But history made a big mistake (baby’s got a big red gun)
The judge and jury stand before you now (baby’s got a big red gun)
‘Cause baby’s got a big red gun
Baby’s got a big red gun
Baby’s got a big red gun
Oh momma what have I become?

- 2. Afraid of Heights
Lyrics
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I have to question the hand that I hold close
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I have to silence the words that you fear most
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
Are we destined to hit the ground below?
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
We’re at the end of a burning tightrope
Now I’m waiting on the corner in the back of your mind
It’s a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide
‘Cause you told me that you’d never be afraid of heights again
Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high
You’re the only one I’d follow ’til the end of time
If we fall, we fall together baby, don’t think twice again
Together I know, together I know
That we’d burn like a rocket’s afterglow
Together I know, together I know
We could conquer the stars beyond this world
We let it all go, we let it all go
I’m just a voice on a broken radio
We let it all go, we let it all go
We got lost in the constellations
Now I’m waiting on the corner in the back of your mind
It’s a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide
‘Cause you told me that you’d never be afraid of heights again
Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high
You’re the only one I’d follow ’til the end of time
If we fall, we fall together baby, don’t think twice again
And after all these years, and all of this time
Darling, if I’m still a question in your mind
Just say the words and this will end
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
You told me we should never be afraid of heights again
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
If we fall, we fall together baby, don’t think twice again
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I hear your voice on a broken radio
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I know we’ll burn like a rocket’s afterglow
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
So are we destined to hit the ground below?
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
Are we just watching the final chapter close?

- 3. Ghost Ship of Cannibal Rats
Lyrics
Is never given enough today
I’m tired of looking the other way
(Respect!)
An appetite that we can’t sustain
We’re on a mission to kiss our days away
So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Yeah I thank my lucky stars to be alive here
A generation of castaways
Under a nation of tidal waves
(Respect!)
Are we the passengers or the prey?
You can’t escape from the past on holiday
So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Pack your bags because the tide is getting high
Don’t be afraid of the view from economy class
It’s just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Who’s gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Catastrophic events don’t change
Today we feast, but tomorrow we pay
(Respect!)
But don’t you worry cause you’ll be safe
I got a ticket to piss your days away
So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Yeah I thank my lucky stars to be alive here
Don’t be afraid of the view from economy class
It’s just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Who’s gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Don’t be afraid of the view from economy class
It’s just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Who’s gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
One city from the coast disappearing too fast
One city from the coast sunk into the past
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
One city from the coast disappearing too fast
One city from the coast, we can never come back
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Rats
Cannibal rats

- 4. Louder Than the DJ
Lyrics
The party’s over, called it a night
I hope you had the time of your life
They say that rock will never survive
It’s up to youth to keep her alive
And I don’t know what’s making you tick
Generation narcissistic
Little Miss Selfie, Lonely Boy Slick
It’s time you get a brand new fix, baby
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Faster, faster, faster than the airwaves
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
We surfed until the end of the set
Our leather jackets covered in sweat
Those glory days, they ain’t over yet
So light that torch and burn like a jet
‘Cause revolution starts on the mic
Strike three chords that cut like a knife
Radio needs a shot to the vein
Of anger, fury, heartache, and pain, baby
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Faster, faster, faster than the airwaves
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Someone said a long time ago
Rock ‘n’ roll would never grow old
She still got the fire left in her bones
The lights go down, the crowd explodes
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Someone said a long time ago
Rock ‘n’ roll would never grow old
She still got the fire left in her bones
And we’re not gonna pack up and go cause we’re
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
She’ll be back some day, I know, baby
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Faster, faster, faster than the airwaves
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Someone said a long time ago
Rock ‘n’ roll would never grow old
She still got the fire left in her bones
The lights go down, the crowd explodes
Louder than the DJ
(And Ian’s guitar)
Louder than the DJ
(The band at the bar)
Louder than the DJ
(Never change who you are)
Louder than the DJ

- 5. The Crutch
Lyrics
Alive!
And right before your eyes
It’s easy to think twice
A choice can change your life
Angry fists, angry eyes
Thought you’d take them by surprise
And unleash all your demons upon them
With your guns and your knives
Left them fighting to survive
You’re the villain but you played the victim
Never took no advice
Did you ever realize
That your violence had taken your virtue
Well you can’t wash away
the mistakes of yesterday
When the boys wearing blue come to greet you
And I can hear the sirens still calling your name
And I can see the ashes rise up from the flames
When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down
Did you stop and regret?
When the voice inside your head
Got so quiet that you’d hear a pin drop
Did you still like the view
When their guns were aimed at you?
Screaming “Out of the house with your hands up!”
Now you wait in the line
For the prison bell to chime
Singing “I fought the law but the law won”
When you’re done serving time
You can look them in the eyes
While you count all the lives that you’ve broken
And I can hear the sirens still calling your name
And I can see the ashes rise up from the flames
When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down
And I can see the flashing lights take you away
And now the tears are rolling down your mother’s face
When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down
When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down
When love was still around
When love was still around
Some day you’ll see the life that you turned down
Alive!
And right before your eyes
It’s easy to think twice
A choice can change your life

- 6. Rabbit Down the Hole
Lyrics
Buried in the mail before the early morning
Under the frost that’s forming his words are calling
Even though alarm bells ring without a warning
All of the clocks keep ticking, and time keeps flowing
Everyone that I hold dearly, I try to keep them close
‘Cause some of them get bitten by the rabbit down the hole
Once they walk past through the grass, they’re never coming home
Easy to live but yet so hard to nail
Maybe they’ve lost their way but found their savior
Living in the fable life’s a fairy tale
Except our thoughts are fragile our minds are frail
Everyone that you hold dearly, you try to keep them close
‘Cause some of them get bitten by that rabbit down the hole
And once you walk past through the grass, you’re never coming home
Good God what have I done?
Mother nature’s lonely son
Mother nature’s lonely son
Chase that rabbit down the hole
Wander through the open door that leads to nowhere
Who’s gonna take away my pain, take away my pain
Before you know you’re trapped inside the spider’s web
You’re screaming there is no escape, there is no escape
The invitation’s written clearly, you’re the one he chose
Until the day your bitten by the rabbit down the hole
Follow his procession deep into the ground below
Good God what have I done?
Mother nature’s lonely son
Mother nature’s lonely son
Chase that rabbit down the hole
I’ll drown or I will burn
Down the path of no return
Down the path of no return
Chase that rabbit down the hole
Rabbit down the hole
I’d never thought I’d see her suffer, I gave her all I could
And everything I had to offer, was never understood
How many days until her mind has left this world for good?
Good God what have I done?
Mother nature’s lonely son
Mother nature’s lonely son
Chase that rabbit down the hole
I’ll drown or I will burn
Down the path of no return
Down the path of no return
Chase that rabbit down the hole
One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll fade away (Chase that rabbit down the hole)
One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll break away (Chase that rabbit down the hole)
One of these days you’ll fade away
One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll fade away (Chase that rabbit down the hole)
One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll fade away

- 7. Time Bomb Ticking Away
Lyrics
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares ’till it’s too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better pray you’re somewhere safe
We’re transfixed on a pendulum sky
Watch another tank of gasoline run dry
A death stare from a cold dead eye
As you’re chopping up the carrot, sharpening their knives
Don’t blink, keep your eyes on the prize
While you rip me up to pieces, cut me down to size
Don’t dare, try to keep it inside
‘Cause the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry
Just when you thought you’ve seen it all
A storm awaits behind the door
Disgruntled right down to the core
We still go on
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares ’till it’s too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better pray you’re somewhere safe
Beat up, put the slate to the grind
Another rocket launcher going off inside my mind
Tight cuffs only hold me tight
Every thought about the future leaves me terrified
I’m sick of the same old lies
Why don’t you talk about your feelings? Who gives a shit about mine?
Death grips got a hold of my side
Because the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry
Just when you thought you’ve seen it all
A storm awaits behind the door
Disgruntled right down to the core
We still go on
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares till it’s too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better pray you’re somewhere safe
Oh, we got a time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb ticking away
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away inside
Everybody needs a little help when the world is blind
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (our world’s got no liberty)
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (locked up in a little cage)
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (this world is a bitter place)
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (our world’s got no liberty)
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (locked up in a little cage)
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (this world is a bitter place)

- 8. Leave Them All Behind
Lyrics
Tired of all the promises and never coming through
It’s easy to pretend until they turn their back on you
And all the ones that bring you down, their colors weren’t that true
And life’s become a battle that you swore you’d never lose
It don’t matter what went wrong this time, don’t matter what went right
We’re always searching for the reason why
And the longest road to find it will take many years to climb
Don’t wait up for that moment to arrive
Leave them all behind
Yeah, I’m tired of all the promises and never coming through
It’s easy to pretend until they turn their back on you
Yeah, and all the ones that bring you down, their colors weren’t that true
And when you lose your confidence your mind plays tricks on you
It don’t matter what went wrong this time, don’t matter what went right
We’re always searching for the reason why
And the longest road to find it will take many years to climb
We keep on getting stuck here all the time
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train, the words they say couldn’t stop us if they tried
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train I know some day everything’s gonna fall in line
I’ve been struck down and defeated every step along the way
Become I’m your own worst enemy when nothing seems to change
You have to fail a thousand times before you get it straight
So catch me if you can ’cause I ain’t leaving this to fate
It don’t matter what went wrong this time, don’t matter what went right
We’re always searching for the reason why
And the longest road to find it will take many years to climb
We keep on getting stuck here all the time
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train, the words they say couldn’t stop us if they tried
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train I know some day, everything’s gonna fall in line
Oh, oh, oh
Tired of all the promises and never coming through
Stop waiting for that moment to arrive
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train, the words they say couldn’t stop us if they tried
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train I know some day, everything’s gonna fall in line
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train I know some day, everything’s gonna fall in line
Yeah!

- 9. Horses & Chariots
Lyrics
Horses and chariots
Churches and states
Devotion turns dangerous
When armed with rules of faith
Prisoners and patriots
Angels and saints
If minds are persuaded enough
Compassion turns to hate
Time comes to bury us
Together we must stay
(Don’t let the)
Horses and chariots
Drag our love away
No
Borders and boundary signs
Drawn by red tape
Those who colour outside of the lines
Define the human race
Warlords and suffering eyes
Soldiers and slaves
The side of the fence that we climb
Determines who’s afraid
Time comes to bury us
Together we must stay
(Don’t let the)
Horses and chariots
Drag our love away
(Until we)
Swallow our pride
Our hearts will collide
And the skies of hysteria will
Come rain down on you
Cleanse the soul from the hands that divide
Our world in time
Time comes to bury us
Well how can you live while so many die?
(Don’t let the)
Horses and chariots
Hide the view from their eyes
(Until we)
Swallow our pride
We’ve chosen a faith, we’ve chosen a side
(Until we)
Swallow our pride
Our hearts will collide

- 10. This Is Our War
Lyrics
Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more
Once we fought to change our fears
But now this is our war (This is our war)
This is our war
Wash your mind out, where’s your morals?
How many people have to live this sorrow?
Life should not be begged or borrowed
How many really want to change tomorrow?
We’re still playing the prideful game
As we profile the enemy that we created
We’re still playing the prideful game
With the cards on the table
In the end we’re all the same
Where’s the compassion in the world today?
Yeah, we’re all the same
Until we find another way
This is our war (This is our war)
Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more (This is our war)
Once we fought for change arm in arm
But now this is our war
Divisive words from ivory towers
Seeds of intolerance turn into flowers
Countless fools and reckless cowards
Rally the people in the quest for power
We’re still playing the prideful game
As we profile the enemy that we created
We’re still playing the prideful game
With the cards on the table
In the end we’re all the same
Where’s the compassion in the world today?
Yeah, we’re all the same
Until we find another way
This is our war (This is our war)
Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more (This is our war)
Once we fought for change arm in arm
But now this is our war
Is this the land of segregation?
Is this a place that we call home?
Don’t let the old style generation
Carry the flag for you and me no more
This is our war
This is our war
We’re into the red, We’re into the red
And as it burns the fire spreads
We’re under the threat, We’re under the threat
Will it still burn tomorrow?
Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more
Once we fought to change our fears
But now this is our war (This is our war)
Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more (This is our war)
Once we fought for change arm in arm
But now this is our war
Is this the land of segregation?
Is this a place that we call home?
Don’t let the old style generation
Carry the flag for you and me no more (This is our war)
Once there was a nation divided
Now this is our war (This is our war)
Once we stand embraced arm in arm
We stand for something more

- 11. February Winds
Lyrics
Hey
Another, tragedy has
Set the scene for conscience to be revealed
And all the February
February winds are howling
Don’t tell me we’re adversaries
Don’t tell me we’re sworn enemies
‘Cause we all need necessary
Means to protect what we love
An ocean lies between us
Sufferings are constant, we never see
Behind our sanctuary
Sanctuary, walls so easy to breathe
Where is our apathy?
Has, apathy been lost while drifting at sea
We are the refugees
Don’t worry we’ll survive on hopes of
Don’t tell me we’re adversaries
Don’t tell me we’re sworn enemies
‘Cause we all need necessary
Means to protect what we love
Light up your book of matches
Open your hearts to action
We all need second chances
What reason to help but for love?
February winds
February winds
No we are not adversaries
We were not born enemies
We all need necessary
Means to protect what we love
Light up your book of matches
Open your hearts to action
We all need second chances
What reason to help but for love?
We are not adversaries
We are not sworn enemies
We all need necessary
Means to protect what we love
February winds
The message that we send
Will come back in the end

- 12. Afraid of Heights (Reprise)
Lyrics
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I have to question the hand that I hold close
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I have to silence the words that you fear most
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
Are we destined to hit the ground below?
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
We’re at the end of a burning tightrope
Now I’m waiting on the corner in the back of your mind
It’s a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide
Cause you told me that you’d never be afraid of heights again
Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high
You’re the only one I’d follow ’til the end of time
If we fall, we fall together, baby, don’t think twice again
Together I know, together I know
That we’d burn like a rocket’s afterglow
Together I know, together I know
We could conquer the stars beyond this world
We let it all go, we let it all go
I’m just a voice on a broken radio
We let it all go, we let it all go
We got lost in the constellations
I’m still waiting on the corner in the back of your mind
It’s a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide
Cause you told me that you’d never be afraid of heights again
Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high
You’re the only one I’d follow ’til the end of time
If we fall, we fall together, baby, don’t think twice again
Yeah!
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
You told me we should never be afraid of heights again
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
If we fall, we fall together, baby, don’t think twice again
Don’t be afraid to walk this tightrope anymore
(You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights)
(You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights)
Cause if we’re brave we’ll never fall
(You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights again)
Don’t be afraid to walk this tightrope anymore
(You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights)
(You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights)
Cause you’ll be safe here in my arms
(If we fall, we fall together, baby, don’t think twice again)
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I’m just a voice on a broken radio
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I know we’ll burn like a rocket’s afterglow
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
Girl are we destined to hit the ground below?
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
Did we get lost in the constellations?

- 13. Big Red Gun – Demo Version
Lyrics
Brothers in arms who share my fears,
Time to protect what you hold dear
There’s been a rise in new ideals,
Threatening to change the way we live
Who knows what trouble’s found a way,
Found a way to your door today
Who knows what trouble’s on its way,
On its way to intimidate
All I want is a big red gun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
I’m gonna shoot, shoot, shoot at the setting sun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
And all I want is a big red gun,
I’m gonna shoot, shoot, shoot till the thrill is gone
‘Cause this is my right no matter the cost
Get outta my sight when baby’s got a big red gun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
Baby’s got a big red gun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
Pride is a weapon in your hand
Freedom awards the faithful man
I hear the message loud and clear,
Straight from his lips into my ear
And lord I just can’t walk away,
Walk away from the enemy
The law will never disagree,
On the target of my insecurities
All I want is a big red gun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
I’m gonna shoot, shoot, shoot at the setting sun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
And all I want is a big red gun,
I’m gonna shoot, shoot, shoot till the thrill is gone
And how many lives will have to be lost to understand why my baby’s got a big red gun?
We call them twisted and deranged (baby’s got a big red gun)
But we gave them the keys to annihilate (baby’s got a big red gun)
How long before the next one’s in the ground? (Baby’s got a big red gun)
So proud of all your history (baby’s got a big red gun)
But history made a big mistake (baby’s got a big red gun)
The judge and jury stand before you now (baby’s got a big red gun)
‘Cause baby’s got a big red gun
Baby’s got a big red gun
Baby’s got a big red gun
Oh momma what have I become?

I know we’ll burn like a rocket’s afterglow
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
So are we destined to hit the ground below?
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
Are we just watching the final chapter close?

- 15. Ghost Ship of Cannibal Rats – Demo Version
Lyrics
Is never given enough today
I’m tired of looking the other way
(Respect!)
An appetite that we can’t sustain
We’re on a mission to kiss our days away
So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Yeah I thank my lucky stars to be alive here
A generation of castaways
Under a nation of tidal waves
(Respect!)
Are we the passengers or the prey?
You can’t escape from the past on holiday
So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Pack your bags because the tide is getting high
Don’t be afraid of the view from economy class
It’s just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Who’s gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Catastrophic events don’t change
Today we feast, but tomorrow we pay
(Respect!)
But don’t you worry cause you’ll be safe
I got a ticket to piss your days away
So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Yeah I thank my lucky stars to be alive here
Don’t be afraid of the view from economy class
It’s just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Who’s gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Don’t be afraid of the view from economy class
It’s just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Who’s gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
One city from the coast disappearing too fast
One city from the coast sunk into the past
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
One city from the coast disappearing too fast
One city from the coast, we can never come back
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Rats
Cannibal rats

- 16. Louder Than The DJ – Demo Version
Lyrics
The party’s over, called it a night
I hope you had the time of your life
They say that rock will never survive
It’s up to youth to keep her alive
And I don’t know what’s making you tick
Generation narcissistic
Little Miss Selfie, Lonely Boy Slick
It’s time you get a brand new fix, baby
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Faster, faster, faster than the airwaves
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
We surfed until the end of the set
Our leather jackets covered in sweat
Those glory days, they ain’t over yet
So light that torch and burn like a jet
‘Cause revolution starts on the mic
Strike three chords that cut like a knife
Radio needs a shot to the vein
Of anger, fury, heartache, and pain, baby
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Faster, faster, faster than the airwaves
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Someone said a long time ago
Rock ‘n’ roll would never grow old
She still got the fire left in her bones
The lights go down, the crowd explodes
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Someone said a long time ago
Rock ‘n’ roll would never grow old
She still got the fire left in her bones
And we’re not gonna pack up and go cause we’re
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
She’ll be back some day, I know, baby
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Faster, faster, faster than the airwaves
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Someone said a long time ago
Rock ‘n’ roll would never grow old
She still got the fire left in her bones
The lights go down, the crowd explodes
Louder than the DJ
(And Ian’s guitar)
Louder than the DJ
(The band at the bar)
Louder than the DJ
(Never change who you are)
Louder than the DJ

- 17. The Crutch – Demo Version
Lyrics
Alive!
And right before your eyes
It’s easy to think twice
A choice can change your life
Angry fists, angry eyes
Thought you’d take them by surprise
And unleash all your demons upon them
With your guns and your knives
Left them fighting to survive
You’re the villain but you played the victim
Never took no advice
Did you ever realize
That your violence had taken your virtue
Well you can’t wash away
the mistakes of yesterday
When the boys wearing blue come to greet you
And I can hear the sirens still calling your name
And I can see the ashes rise up from the flames
When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down
Did you stop and regret?
When the voice inside your head
Got so quiet that you’d hear a pin drop
Did you still like the view
When their guns were aimed at you?
Screaming “Out of the house with your hands up!”
Now you wait in the line
For the prison bell to chime
Singing “I fought the law but the law won”
When you’re done serving time
You can look them in the eyes
While you count all the lives that you’ve broken
And I can hear the sirens still calling your name
And I can see the ashes rise up from the flames
When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down
And I can see the flashing lights take you away
And now the tears are rolling down your mother’s face
When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down
When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down
When love was still around
When love was still around
Some day you’ll see the life that you turned down
Alive!
And right before your eyes
It’s easy to think twice
A choice can change your life

- 18. Time-Bomb Ticking Away – Demo Version
Lyrics
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares ’till it’s too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better pray you’re somewhere safe
We’re transfixed on a pendulum sky
Watch another tank of gasoline run dry
A death stare from a cold dead eye
As you’re chopping up the carrot, sharpening their knives
Don’t blink, keep your eyes on the prize
While you rip me up to pieces, cut me down to size
Don’t dare, try to keep it inside
‘Cause the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry
Just when you thought you’ve seen it all
A storm awaits behind the door
Disgruntled right down to the core
We still go on
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares ’till it’s too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better pray you’re somewhere safe
Beat up, put the slate to the grind
Another rocket launcher going off inside my mind
Tight cuffs only hold me tight
Every thought about the future leaves me terrified
I’m sick of the same old lies
Why don’t you talk about your feelings? Who gives a shit about mine?
Death grips got a hold of my side
Because the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry
Just when you thought you’ve seen it all
A storm awaits behind the door
Disgruntled right down to the core
We still go on
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares till it’s too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better pray you’re somewhere safe
Oh, we got a time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb ticking away
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away inside
Everybody needs a little help when the world is blind
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (our world’s got no liberty)
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (locked up in a little cage)
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (this world is a bitter place)
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (our world’s got no liberty)
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (locked up in a little cage)
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (this world is a bitter place)

- 19. Leave Them All Behind – Demo Version
Lyrics
Tired of all the promises and never coming through
It’s easy to pretend until they turn their back on you
And all the ones that bring you down, their colors weren’t that true
And life’s become a battle that you swore you’d never lose
It don’t matter what went wrong this time, don’t matter what went right
We’re always searching for the reason why
And the longest road to find it will take many years to climb
Don’t wait up for that moment to arrive
Leave them all behind
Yeah, I’m tired of all the promises and never coming through
It’s easy to pretend until they turn their back on you
Yeah, and all the ones that bring you down, their colors weren’t that true
And when you lose your confidence your mind plays tricks on you
It don’t matter what went wrong this time, don’t matter what went right
We’re always searching for the reason why
And the longest road to find it will take many years to climb
We keep on getting stuck here all the time
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train, the words they say couldn’t stop us if they tried
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train I know some day everything’s gonna fall in line
I’ve been struck down and defeated every step along the way
Become I’m your own worst enemy when nothing seems to change
You have to fail a thousand times before you get it straight
So catch me if you can ’cause I ain’t leaving this to fate
It don’t matter what went wrong this time, don’t matter what went right
We’re always searching for the reason why
And the longest road to find it will take many years to climb
We keep on getting stuck here all the time
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train, the words they say couldn’t stop us if they tried
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train I know some day, everything’s gonna fall in line
Oh, oh, oh
Tired of all the promises and never coming through
Stop waiting for that moment to arrive
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train, the words they say couldn’t stop us if they tried
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train I know some day, everything’s gonna fall in line
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train I know some day, everything’s gonna fall in line
Yeah!

- 20. Afraid of Heights (Reprise) – Demo Version
Lyrics
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I have to question the hand that I hold close
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I have to silence the words that you fear most
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
Are we destined to hit the ground below?
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
We’re at the end of a burning tightrope
Now I’m waiting on the corner in the back of your mind
It’s a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide
Cause you told me that you’d never be afraid of heights again
Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high
You’re the only one I’d follow ’til the end of time
If we fall, we fall together, baby, don’t think twice again
Together I know, together I know
That we’d burn like a rocket’s afterglow
Together I know, together I know
We could conquer the stars beyond this world
We let it all go, we let it all go
I’m just a voice on a broken radio
We let it all go, we let it all go
We got lost in the constellations
I’m still waiting on the corner in the back of your mind
It’s a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide
Cause you told me that you’d never be afraid of heights again
Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high
You’re the only one I’d follow ’til the end of time
If we fall, we fall together, baby, don’t think twice again
Yeah!
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
You told me we should never be afraid of heights again
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
If we fall, we fall together, baby, don’t think twice again
Don’t be afraid to walk this tightrope anymore
(You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights)
(You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights)
Cause if we’re brave we’ll never fall
(You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights again)
Don’t be afraid to walk this tightrope anymore
(You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights)
(You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights)
Cause you’ll be safe here in my arms
(If we fall, we fall together, baby, don’t think twice again)
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I’m just a voice on a broken radio
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I know we’ll burn like a rocket’s afterglow
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
Girl are we destined to hit the ground below?
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
Did we get lost in the constellations?
