| 1. DIVIDED WORLD | |
| Shaking
with anger, she moves like a hurricane there's another horizon, but you'll never leave her. She's black and she's white now, wrong and she's right again you can't see the reason, but it doesn't matter. ...and the laughing and the crying are the same thing to the joker who is sitting on the wall, ...and the sadness and gladness come together like a brother and a sister to us all. It's a divided world, it's always going to be some people close their eyes, there's not so much to see it's a divided world, and that's no shame it's all a compromise, you can't explain. Time and the season change like the weatherman we're up in the slipstream, but we're down in the basements. A duel of power, love and the sacrifice they're sharing the same road but in different directions ...and the laughing and the crying are the same thing to the joker who is sitting on the wall, And the sadness and the gladness come together like a brother and a sister to us all. It's a divided world, it's always going to be some people close their eyes, there's not so much to see it's a divided world, and that's no shame it's all a compromise, you can't explain. |

| 2. GETTING STRANGER | |
| Can
you feel it now there's something strange, got you hooked while you looked away? Can you feel it now there's something strange, got you hooked while you looked away? No hesitation on your way back down, look for help but there's none around, go to get it but you don't know why got to get it 'cos it gets you high, it's getting stranger... You thought you knew what you were meant to be, the sun was setting at a quarter to three. You thought you knew what you were meant to be, the sun was setting at a quarter to three. In the casino you make a roll, don't look back or you'll be beck in the hole something's happening and you loose control, something's happening and you loose control, it's getting stranger... Something's knocking on your window pane get it down before it gets away. Something's knocking on your window pane get it down before it gets away. It's the rhythm of another drum, can't be over if it's just begun. Now you know you're not the only one, Now you know you're not the only one, it's getting stranger... |

| 3. THE MASK | |
| It's
late on a Wednesday, the sun is going down, I'm standing naked by a swimming pool, there's no one around, my imagination wanders back, red dust is always there we lay together in the jungle, and love was in the air. As I dive into the water, both time and motion freeze, I'm hanging there suspended like a feather in the breeze, below is your reflection, like an image in the past but I can't be sure if it's really you 'cos you're wearing a tribal mask. Take it off...take of the mask I have no way of knowing how long I must remain dangling like a statue, and whispering your name, but suddenly it's over, and I begin to fall but the swimming pool is empty now, no water there at all. I find myself in a room, empty and it's bare with nothing but a mirror, and I know you're waiting there, I'm looking for an answer but I don't know who to ask I see my own reflection, but this time, I got the mask. I can't take it, I can't take it Take it off...take of the mask |

| 4. FAKE IT | |
| Never
look and you'll never see what it is or what it seems to be is it true or misunderstood it doesn't look like you thought it should Beggerman or the parliament different reasons but the same intent looking for a way to change your mind you never see what they keep behind What about the working man? trying to make a living the best he can and if he can't does he give a damn? all I got to do is fake it, fake it. Here comes a television man he's so cool, what a perfect tan doesn't even know what he's talking about this is something we can live without What about the working man? trying to make a living the best he can and if he can't does he give a damn? all I got to do is fake it, fake it. |

| 6. (YOU'RE SO) REMOTE | |
| Your
smile is a mystery but I can use my imagination no time to define the roles we play together or is that the golden rule? there's a cry in the night and it's trying to say look ahead in the distance is there any other way? oh, you're so remote No time for a memory but it could use a little exploration carry on 'til it's gone and there's nothing left to sever and then you're laughing at a fool there's a cry in the night and then you turn away look ahead in the distance is there any other way? oh, you're so remote |

| 7. HIP LEVEL | |
| Ticket
to the title page shadows on the wall, someone's on the stage ever heard a better sound? never let a side slip get you down, Glad arena's solid light honey dipped figures dancing in the night taking of the hat and coat taking up, taking off, rocking the boat, Don't fight it, or be uptight if you wanna take another bite all you got to do is think hip level She's another moody guy looking too hard, feeling kind of shy cat's chasing mouse again never the beginning, never the end, Don't fight it, or be uptight if you wanna take another bite all you got to do is think hip level Don't doubt it, it's understood if it's moving, you know it's good all you got to do is think hip level |
