1. VELVET KEVORKIAN

                         I Want To Be Where The Action Is
                                It's Time Again
                         We Won't Get A Second Chance
                               Everything Is Dying
               Fuck Sleep, Fuck Beauty, I Know I Have To Make It Alone
                        It's 2:45 A.M. And I'm Freaking Out
                 All I Can Think Of Is Glory, And I'm Sitting In Burnaby
                          At 2:45 In The Fucking Morning
                             Freaking The Fuck Out

                         One Month And I'm Gone Forever
                           Fuck This Once And For All...
                        And Just Like All Those Bullshit Jobs
                          I Swore I'd Never Go Back To
                       I Swear I'll Never Go Back To This Life

                                  Fuck This

                         Can You Believe This Shit People?
                          All You Stupid Fucking People
                          With Your Useless Fucking Lives
                            And Your Bullshit Priorities
                           And Your Sick Fucking Wars
                            And Your Pathetic Religion
                              And Your Shit Music
                           And Your Sick Fucking Hate
                      Bullshit, Sitcom, North American Ignorance
                             A New Time Is Coming
                       And We Know You'll Awake In There

                              Who's Your Daddy?

2. ALL HAIL THE NEW FLESH


                      Hey Man, I'm Going To Fuck This Shit Up
                       No Fear, No Compromise, I Want It All
                 I Will Never Be Afraid, And I'll Die With What I Believe

                      All Of You Assholes Can Stay Rotting Here
                         I Do No Care, I Will Not Be There
                            I Have Got To Save Myself
                       And Don't Tell Me There's No One Else

                         And All You Are Is All You Are...
                         I'm So Sorry (For You) I'm Sorry...

                            So All Hail The New Flesh,
                            Because It Suits Me Fine...

                          Just Get Away, You Motherfuck
                          And We'll Be Back If You Come
                   For What This Means To Me, You Piece Of Shit...
                             I'll See You Pigs In Hell
                     I Just Know Everything's Going To Be O.K.

3. OH MY FUCKING GOD

                     There Is No Insanity, Rather A Super Sanity
                 More Suited For Life At The End Of The 20th Century
                             Where Everything Is Art,
                       And Everything Is Trying To Express It,
                             Where Everything Is Art,
                     And Everything Is Trying To Comunicate It...

                  All Intelligent Beings Sleep The Dreaming Of Dreams
                    And They've All Come Up To Meet Me Tonight
               Although While In The Morning, All Their Wonder And Their
                      Glory Was Turned Ugly And Quite Simple
                     Like A Venue When You're Loading In Gear

                      Sexuality, Eroticism In Asexual Pursuasions.
                Man Or Woman, Make's No Difference In The Outcome
                  No Fasion, No Tolerance For Stupidity Or Ignorance
                         ..."Adidas" Or "The Arch Deluxe"...
                           And Time Is Now An Object

                             Oh My Fucking God...
                              Oh I'm Fucking God...
                      And I'll Dream All This Into Becoming Real

                And Until Such Time That You Can Prove Me Otherwise
                      I Will Continue With My Agnostic Travels
                   Until I've Found A Place That Dreams With Me...
                       ...A Place That Feeds On My Rountine

                            All I Want Is My Mommy...
                            All I Want Is My Mommy...
                            All I Want Is My Mommy...
                            All I Want Is My Mommy...

                        This Is The Night That It All Changes

4. DETOX

                               I've Got A Feeling
                             With The Wrong People
                         And I Can't Control My Thoughts

                            I Wish That I Could Sleep
                           And Just Get This Over With
                        ...This Is Only High School Bullshit...

                               I Just Want To Feel

                                 I Was Warned
                                Absolutley Numb
                            No Good Around People
                         Everyone Knows And Watches Me

                           How Did I Get Here Tonight?
                             What Am I Doing Here?
                           How Did I Reach This State?
                            How Did I Lose My Sight?

                             I'm Lost ... I'm Freaking
                    And Everybody Knows ... Everyone's Watching

                      ...So Here's All My Hopes And Aspirations
                               Nothing But Puke
                              God, It's So Lonely...

                               I Just Want To Feel

5. HOME NUCLEONICS

                               I Warned You... 

                             T E C H N O L O G Y 

                          Hating, Burning, Waiting, Falling

6. AAA

                        Devy In The Corner Of His Teen Year
                               Born To Run Away
                     Children In The Middle With The Village Idiot
                        So He Never Made The Potty Grade

                        Now Maybe He Pulled A Little Closer
                             Cold In A Mousy Way
                      Boom Boom As They Came A Little Closer

                              Broke In A Dirty Way
                  Boom Boom Is The Beating That I Hear In The Night
               But No One Hears, So No One No And No One Fucks With
                                     Me

                       Devy Wants A Word With The Master
                           I Got No Need To Run Away
                          Down On The Road Isn't Easy,
                         But I Never Would Back Away...

                  Boom Boom In The Morning With The Night Sounds
                             No Way To Run Away
                    Boom Boom As The Boredome Of Monogamy
                              Hits One More Time...

                      And It Probably Would Have Been Easy,
                        But It Never Worked Out That Way

                   Boom Boom In The Corner With The Well - Soiled
                             Bound To Amalgamate

                          On And On, It Goes On And On

                A New Time, With New Ways, New Thought, A New Age

                              I'm Tired Of Waiting
                              I'm Tired Of Fighting
                      I'm Tired Of Waiting For Fucking Nothing
                               I'm Sick Of Lying

8. ROOM 429

                             What you don't understand 
                           Is where everything's needing
                 When all of the signs you see still point to overload
                             As you reach out your hand
                           A shattered vision's receding
               Like daylights along that lonesome stretch of broken road 

                          Because you've been to the past
                             And it's just a reminder
                 A recollection of faces that will never come to call
                         When you've cut through the mask
                         When you've been through the grinder
              Sometimes you forget that you had ever been there at all 

                               Up here in Room 429
                            The world ain't so unkind
                    I wanna take you to that empty room tonight 

                              In the shadow of doubt
                            In the crush of an instant
               Standing in the rain outside your door, hand on my knife
                            When you reach a brick wall
                             There is still a decision
                Always though if I had to lose I'd surely take you all 

                               Up here in Room 429
                            In a world that's so unkind
                     I wanna take you to that empty room tonight
                       We'll tell the world outside the door
                       That we ain't never coming back no more
                  We're gonna stay in here 'till we turn out the night 

                           The city breathes so softly
                              Everything is sleeping
                        I am at the window silently watching
                              I can see you standing
                             Alone against the winter
              I can hear you asking, but the streets, they are not giving
                             Don't look to the ocean
                              Restless in its dreaming
               Don't look to the heavens for they will tell you nothing
                            If living is for learning
                             Then dying is forgetting
                  Once we have forgotten then we can go on loving 

                             In a lifetime of hope
                            In a second of kindness
               There is never a doubt that we are born and die alone
                             From within or without
                        There's no way they can find us
           When they knock at the door, the lights are on, but we ain't home 

                              Up here in Room 429
                            The world ain't so u nkind
                    I wanna take you to that empty room tonight
                      We'll tell the world outside the door
                     That we ain't never coming back no more
                 We're gonna stay in here 'till we turn out the night

                            Please, Help Me Please...

               You'll Never Be What You Try To Be If You Want To Be It
                          God Help The King Of Nothing

                                It's Getting Late
                                I'm Getting Old
                     And Every Night I Just Sleep, We Never Talk
                        And Every Night, I Look In The Sky
                        And I Pray To God They'll Hear Me...

                            And If This Is All There Is
                                 ...If This Is It
                          Won't... Won't Someone Tell Me

                       Because I'm So Fucking Sick Of All You
                                 Stupid People
                                 All You Sick
                                 Stupid People
