If you wanna win
If you wanna get high
You wanna sprout proverbial wings
And maybe fly
If it sounds like you
Which I think it might, do
You wanna step right up
We’re all watching
Won’t you try
It’s been forever since we’ve been together
Like we are tonight
Cause you can’t replace being face to face
If you wanna live your best life
Best life, come on
To the fools all the tools freely given
To shimmy up the lofty social tree
Wielding the keys to the modern mind
Everything I do engineered to find
The latent narcissistic side of me
And I wanna break free now
If you wanna live
If you wanna get by
You wanna toss a wrench in the system
Bleed it dry
If you wanna play the game
Go a little insane
Then come right in
We’ve got lots of room inside
It’s been forever since we’ve been together
Like we are tonight
Cause you can’t replace being face to face
If you wanna live your best life
Best life, come on
At a glance what a chance you’ve been given
Express those histrionic tendencies
Wielding the keys to the modern mind
Everything I do engineered to find
The latent narcissistic side of me
And I wanna break free now
Holed up
Been a while, doesn’t need to be mentioned
And the masses are starved for attention
If I wanna be seen my participation is compulsory
Tempted by the chance of a little bit of glory
But the cost of the fame is abhorrent
And I know it
But still it’s got me wondering
Oh, will I be left behind
Isolated, atomized
As all is redefined
Something doesn’t feel right, I know
Don’t know why I feel so alone
Diving through the disjointed discourses
Of all these faces on my phone
It’s definitely losing its charm
Don’t only got fingers, I’ve got arms
And I wanna hold the people I love
Without the risk of doing them harm

Fifty Days
03:56
|

|
Outside the window under cold highway light
The coming attraction looms just out of sight
Steel-encased dreamers roll on through the night
Approaching this glorious terminus feeling
Something like you did, just outside the door
Of this mythical land, will it be what you’re hoping for?
Enough never is, always searching for more
Tuned in for clues atop this tower of meaning
New York City, go easy on this awestruck pilgrim in the winter
In this January bitter
If this doesn’t free me nothing will
My light survives you, I’m fifty days behind you
Rode the dog out here to these eastern tides
We stared over rooftops the morning the Starman died
Looking to elucidate the muse
And sense something of you
Indelible mark left on all you do
Hacking through the brush though the path’s well worn
Grasping at the mystery and the essence of the form
Iowa son, to the city you came
Drawn to compose over making a name
Revered by the masses long after your days
Your urban decay, my metropolis glistening
Gripped by the sickness, pale skin, sunken eyes
To waste away slowly on the lower east side
Quarter-inch tapes and cassettes left behind
Had something to say, do you know we’re still listening?
Ecstatic rhythms beating under my feet
From this Clinton Hill flat to the bars down on Christopher street
Seems as though this fire you lit, it grew
My light survives you, I’m fifty days behind you
Quite alive in this memory engrained
Not a second shared on this worldly plane
Looking to elucidate the muse
And sense something of you
Indelible mark left on all you do
Hacking through the brush though the path’s well worn
Grasping at the mystery and the essence of the form

Say It's Not Love

Ask me how I feel about things today
I’d say we’re one in the same
Somehow collided and stuck together
But as it stands, it doesn’t need a name
So happy I met you
Peering over from the dark side of the moon
Something in the depths of my heart just knew
And baby, that’s a matter of fact
And I meant what I said what I meant to you
The words escape, there’s no turning back
Cause it’s been some time
You’ve been on my mind
Lord knows it’s the way it goes
When you put it on the line
Baby, I could drown in your waters, drink from your cup
Take all that I could but it’s never enough
And I wonder, what could it be if you say it’s not love
Feel my racing heart inside my chest
As I’m looking at you
Something in your eyes pulled my defenses down
And out came the truth
Did I keep you guessing?
Baby, if you’re wondering, here’s your proof
Something in the depths of my heart just knew
And baby, that’s a matter of fact
And I meant what I said what I meant to you
The words escape, there’s no turning back
Cause it’s been some time
You’ve been on my mind
Lord knows it’s the way it goes
When you put it on the line
Baby, I could drown in your waters, drink from your cup
Take all that I could but it’s never enough
And I wonder, what could it be if you say it’s not love
Something in the depths of my heart just knew
And baby, that’s a matter of fact
And I meant what I said what I meant to you
The words escape, there’s no turning back
Cause it’s been some time
You’ve been on my mind
Lord knows it’s the way it goes
When you put it on the line
Baby, I could drown in your waters, drink from your cup
Take all that I could but it’s never enough
And I wonder, what could it be if you say it’s not love

Waiting
04:20

I’m still waiting
Not sure what for
Something beyond myself
To open up the door
I keep on searching
To no avail
Running round in circles, wasting time
Chasing my tail
Time takes flight as the years roll by
Visions of hope playing tricks on my eyes
And there’s no running from this thing I’m becoming
Caught up in the wicked web of lies I’ve spun
Oooh
Cast into the fire whatever keeps it burning
Oooh
And dance to the rhythm as the world keeps turning
Misunderstandings
Breaches of trust
Left out in the cold
My heart has turned to rust
Few to relate to
Even less who care
The days flow together
When the spirit isn’t there
Silent cry in the dead of night
No satisfying the hunger inside
But there’s still something that’s been keeping me running
Waiting in the darkness for the sun
Oooh
Cast into the fire whatever keeps it burning
Oooh
And dance to the rhythm as the world keeps turning
And in the end, I just want to be a friend
Oooh
I’ve got no reason keeping secrets defended, I don’t
Oooh
Can’t be pieced back together
I declare I surrender
Raising up my hands to the sky
It’s out of my control
No use in pretending, no
Oooh
Cast into the fire whatever keeps it burning
Oooh
And dance to the rhythm as the world keeps turning
Oooh
Cast into the fire whatever keeps it burning
Oooh
And dance to the rhythm as the world keeps turning

This album is stunning. A shining example of great synth pop, drenched in retro. A good range of styles and quite funky compared to the other 2 EPs. It even has falsetto
