DETONATE MY DREAMS (C. McLaughlin)


Endless train of thought running through my mind
Things aren`t what they seem in these treacherous times
Currents shift
We swim against the tide

Unbelievers dressed in smiling suede
Can`t fill the void
Can`t dull the blade
All counterfeit and gimcrack cheats selling the truth

This generation knows it
This desolation shows it
This detonation can lift you high

Fascination feeds on jagged lives
With a silver palm and a bunch of fives
Setting your feet on a one way street
It`s a road to ruin!

This generation knows it
This desolation shows it
This detonation can lift you high

Detonate my dreams
Detonate my dreams

Turning back the clock reverse in time
Talking sideways with no reason or rhyme
All by themselves in a private hell
The chosen few

This generation knows it
This desolation shows it
This detonation can lift you high

This generation knows it
This desolation shows it
This detonation can lift you high


HEY VENUS (C. McLaughlin)


For sure for sure and actual 
You swear by all that`s factual
Insane elastic joy despair
Figures dance and bebop 
Take me away from the drop 
I cannot help but stand and stare 
Sawdust casanovas 
Are dying to take over  
Lipstick on bankrolls it`s a deal 
Telling stinkin lies 
Cheap chat and shifty eyes 
Double the price you gotta steal 

Hey Venus  
Hey Venus 
Wants us all so bad  
Hope it drives her mad 

Holy Riders thinkers 
Kneejerks and lovesick drinkers 
Eyeball eachother through the haze 
Swapping tales of woe 
Ozone and GI Joe 
They can they do and guess who pays 

Hey Venus  
Hey Venus
Wants us all so bad  
Hope it drives her mad 

Time to spit it out  
Wash it down the spout 
You don`t have to Kiss because you pout 
All those high hopes locked up inside 
Let `em out 
Put your doubt aside 

Hey Venus 
Hey Venus
Wants us all so bad  
Hope it drives her mad 

Hey Venus  
Hey Venus 
Wants us all so bad  
Hope it drives her mad 


SENSITIZE (C. McLaughlin)


Heard a secret and  
Saw you smilin` 
So convincing 
You`re so beguiling 
Leave me breathless and 
I can`t think straight at all

Cold as starlight
You sting like sunburn 
Searching blindfold you  
Melt my fingers 
Summer bleeds for you 
Testifies 

Ultrafervor 
Head to toe 
Sensitizes 
Burns and glows 
Helter Swelter 
Sweet and Slow 
Avalanche 
Avalanche 
Avalanche 

Heard a secret and
Saw you smilin` 
So convincing
You`re so beguiling
Leave me breathless and
I can`t think straight at all

Daunburst drowning
Your favourite feelings
Avalanches that chill all healing
Spurning Indigo
Celebrate

Ultrafervor
Head to toe
Sensitizes 
Burns and glows 
Helter Swelter 
Sweet and Slow 
Avalanche
Avalanche 
Avalanche 

Helter Swelter
Sweet and Slow 
Helter Swelter 
Sweet and Slow 
Helter Swelter
Sweet and Slow 


ANOTHER DAY (D. O`Néill)


Another day just to soothe this madness
Another day on my own
I look around just to see rain and sadness
Don`t you look back not too soon

Another day 
Can`t last forever
I`ll just walk away
From this forever

I`m not so proud of these head and shoulders 
But much too proud to stand alone 
When you`re not here it`s like gravity is falling on me 
So here I stay in my room 

Another day 
Won`t last forever 
I`ll just walk away
From this forever 

Another day spent in isolation 
Another day lost and gone 
I looked to you for some inspiration 
You walked away `n cut me down

Another day 
Won`t last forever 
I`ll just walk away
From this forever 


CELLOPHANE (S. O`Néill)


In a world and in it`s sounds
In any street in any town I go
There`s a wreckage of desire
Of feelings never hired or sold
Where cellophane and thunder always come
And the factories of fantasies belong

I can only find the murder machine
I can only find the murder machine

From a notion of the times
To the hoodlum kitchen minds that die
From every mutant hour
To those who have the power who don`t try
Where the surplus sounds of sanity grow hoarse
And an abject slave mentality gets worse

I can only find the murder machine
I can only find the murder machine


CANDY LOVE SATELLITE (S. O`Néill / S. Mack)


Whenever she comes
Time it stands still
Whatever she`s done
Time it stands still
The damage she`s done
The damage she`s done

Candy love satellite

Whenever she comes
There`s no reaction to me
Whenever she comes
She`s comes you can`t see
The damage she`s done
The damage she`s done
Like some judge no reaction to me

Candy love satellite

When she puts her eyes on me
Rocketships far as I can see
Gotta watch my velocity
I`m falling too fast she`s a hazard to me
Heavenly she looks divine
Moving past the speed of time
My head`s in orbit
My mouth is wet
Look out now 
`Cos here she comes again

Whatever she`s done 
There`s no protection for me
Stranger than no fiction
Like a stranger she seems
The secrets she keeps
Her mystery fueled
By the secrets she keeps

Candy love satellite
Candy love satellite

Candy love satellite


GENIUS MOVE (C. McLaughlin)


Slaughterhouse number 5
Don't look at me with those empty eyes
Anyway I don't care
A shattered smile and a foolish stare

Lovers can and lovers will
Change a heart, take away the chill
And even if I have regrets
I know that I won't be upset
Cos I've finally made my genius move

It's kinda funny
It's kinda the way she looks at me
It's kinda funny
It's kinda the way she looks at me

Slaughterhouse number 5
Don't look at me with those empty eyes
Anyway I don't care
A shattered smile and a foolish stare

It's kinda funny
It's kinda the way she looks at me
It's kinda funny
It's kinda the way she looks at me


SWAMP (S. O´Néill)


When the cold wind blows
And the air is damped with fear
Can`t rely on the stars to die
Untill the one you`re still holdin
In a swamp
In a swamp

You`re just another bit tumbled
You sit around the light
You won`t feel on your knees
Can`t feel it on your wife
In a swamp

Wake up every morning
With concrete in the head
You rather swallow up the freedom
That all radiates instead
In a swamp

Down down
Going down down
Going down down
Going down down
Going down down
Going down down
Going down down
Going down down
Going down down
Going down down
Going down down
Going down down
In a swamp
In a swamp

Yeah she said
When the lights go dim
Yeah she said
When the lights go dim
Yeah she said
When the lights go dim
Yeah she said
When the lights go dim

Yeah she said
When the lights go dim
Yeah she said
When the lights go dim

She said
Yeah she said
When the lights go dim
Again
Yeah she said
When the lights go dim
In the
Swamp swamp
In the
Swamp swamp
In the
Swamp swamp swamp swamp swamp
Swamp swamp

When the cold wind blows
And the air is damped with fear
Can`t rely on the stars to die
Until you see the one you`re
Still
Holdin
In the swamp
In the swamp


BIG DECISION (S. O´Néill)


See my honey in the streets
It`s desolate but where she likes to meet
Economies gets weaker
Reactionaries stronger
As they get satisfaction on their knees

You rather sail the ocean
Than make
A big
Decision

I won`t function anymore
Plastic bullets shoot headlines in store
Business men get richer
Individual stronger
Bells won`t ring when scum boot down the door

You rather sail the ocean
Than make
A big
Decision

What you`ve gotta do
In this day and age
You gotta agitate
Educate
Organize
Take the time to live
Take the time to give
You gotta agitate
Educate
Organize

See my honey in the street
It`s desolate but where she likes to meet
I`d like to keep her
Make her even sweeter
For anyone who cares to be with me

You rather sail the ocean
Than make
A big
Decision

You rather sail the ocean
Than make
A big
Decision

What you`ve gotta do
In this day and age
You gotta agitate
Educate
Organize
Take the time to live
Take the time to give
You gotta agitate
Educate
Organize


CREEPING TO THE CROSS (C. McLaughlin)


Ah ah
Ah ah ...

Well jingle
And jangle
Jingle
Jangle
Can`t slip a slide
Can`t slip a slide
It`s eternity

You can`t walk the tight rope
Without to say goodnight
Time for such a tight face
Stearing for his death

So ashamed of shout
It`s all plain luck
So ashamed of shout
It`s all plain luck
Dreadtoy in plastic
When the night goes on
Dreadtoy in plastic
When the night goes on

And I`d rather be the devil than go
Creeping to the cross

Well jingle
And jangle
Jingle
Jangle
Can`t slip a slide
Can`t slip a slide
It`s eternity

You can`t walk the tight rope
Without to say goodnight
Time for such a tight face
Cueing for its death

Ah ah
Ah ah...

And I`d rather be the devil than go
Creeping to the cross

Ah ah
Ah ah...

So ashamed of shout
It`s all plain luck
So ashamed of shout
It`s all plain luck
Dreadtoy in plastic
When the night goes on
Dreadtoy in plastic
When the night goes on

And I`d rather be the devil than go
Creeping to the cross

Ah ah
Ah ah...


IT`S A GOOD THING (S. O`Néill)


Senses fail
And we know why
Indifference slides
From every corner
But I just want
To be with you
The silent screams
Above each other

It`s a good thing
Such a good thing
To do
To do

While governments gain
All money can buy
Trash means cash
In any country
But I just want
To be with you
Our flesh feels fresh
And that`s the beauty

It`s a good thing
Such a good thing
We do
We do

It`s a good thing
Such a good thing
We do


NATURAL KIND OF JOY (S. O`Néill)


Under a dark and silent moon
Where lovers sigh and singers croon
Looking for a natural kind of joy

Secrets shared while cool lips kiss
Their subterranean hearts ablaze
You may find a natural kind of joy

So whose lost the right
To be alone in the night
To go looking for a natural kind of joy

Between the sheets
Beneath the stars
Soft to touch in each others arms
Looking for a natural kind of joy

So whose lost a right
To be alone in the night
To go searching for a natural kind of joy

Nothings ever what it seems
The last laugh could be on you


BLINDSPOT (S. O`Néill / R. O`Gormain)


Light a candle
In your heart
Watch it burn down
Silently
Try to recollect
Your thoughts and fears
As the flame dies
They`re all to clear

The Cavalry Bells say you will
Say you will

When there`s no strenght
Left in you
No more time now
For hopeless dreams
Bleary eyes raise
And start to fall
To the sound
Of tomorrow

The Cavalry Bells say you will
Say you will

On a freefall
From innocence
Subliminal wispers
Crowd your room
Forever haunted by
Your own despair
Your hopes evaporate
Into thin air

The Cavalry Bells say you will
Say you will

When the day comes
Still no one`s here
So what`s the easy way
To carry on
Always reaching out
For something else
But in the smokescreen
You`re lost again and again and again and again

The Cavalry Bells say you will
Say you will
