Me and my raygun,
we have the best of times,
zapping the ocean,
melting the skylines, the skylines.
Get me out of my life.
Derelict cars go by, they drive me oh, so high, ghost-writer, please re-write, my biography, make it seem more happy.
Get me out of my, get me out of my, get me out of my life.

This is how we are together,
Where the shuffle bosses drown, drown.
Even in good weather,
You can always bring me round, round.
Welcome to Tragedy Town,
Don’t let it get you down, down, down, down, down, yeah-yeah.
Welcome to Tragedy Town,
Don’t let it get you down, down, down, down, down, yeah-yeah
This is our new anthem,
Coat it all in fluorescent grey, grey.
I’ll learn to envy it in my next life,
Some other day, day.
Welcome to Tragedy Town,
Don’t let it get you down, down, down, down, down, yeah-yeah.
Welcome to Tragedy Town,
Don’t let it get you down, down, down, down, down, yeah-yeah.
Let me show you the pattern,
If you’re willing to understand, stand,
On the rings of Saturn,
On the edge of all the land, can you imagine, imagine that.
Welcome to Tragedy Town,
Don’t let it get you down, down, down, down, down, yeah-yeah.
Welcome to Tragedy Town,
Don’t let it get you down, down, down, down, down, yeah-yeah
All I want is a comeback, comeback,
Suicide Bridge to Council Crest
All I want is a comeback, comeback,
Suicide Bridge to Council Crest, oh-no.

I have no army, I’m just a man,
Please call me something, I can understand, I can understand, I can understand.
No politics, and the penalty, is built for the sick and
The sick all agree, yeah the sick all agree, yeah the sick all agree.
Its all a slur, as we wait and wait, for another murder,
committed by the state, committed by the state, committed by the state.
Three aught four is the manity,
Has TV stolen my sanity? – oh wait, but there it goes, oh wait, but there is goes, oh wait, but there it goes, oh wait, but there, it, goes!

Fault Line

She was abducted by aliens when she was ten,
Took away all the bad vibes she’d been given
Took away everything so terrible,
Now she lives in the former United States of America, oh-no!
Don’t you cry about your heartbreak,
look at all that you have got,
Well its just another earthquake,
between the fault lines in your heart
Oh no, now I’m thinkin’ boutchya thinkin’ boutchya
Something I promised myself I would never do.
Oh no, now I’m thinkin’ boutchya thinkin’ boutchya
Something I promised myself I would never do.
I met a girl when I was fifteen,
Prettiest thing, I ever have seen,
But she allowed me to be selfish and mean,
Now I cant take it back, now I cant take it back.
Don’t you cry about your heartbreak,
look at all that you have got,
Well its just another earthquake,
between the fault lines in your heart
Oh no, now I’m thinkin’ boutchya thinkin’ boutchya
Something I promised myself I would never do.
Oh no, now I’m thinkin’ boutchya thinkin’ boutchya
Something I promised myself I would never do.
