Explosion

Nothing's gonna start if you and I do nothing
Nothing's gonna change if you and I are only waiting
Nothing's gonna move if you and I see only one thing
Nothing's gonna work but I can't change the system of this world

Hey money junkie, What are you living for?
I burn with anger. I set time bombs everywhere

Explosion! Explosion! If I leave it as it is and break away
Explosion! Explosion! I can't wait. There is no time anymore

I'm very hungry. Bring me something to eat
I'm getting angry. Destroy everything. It's like a battle field

Explosion! Explosion! If I leave it as it is and break away
Explosion! Explosion! I can't wait. There is no time anymore

Something's gonna start if you and I do something
Something's gonna change if you and I get going
Something's gonna move if you and I see everything
Something's gonna work and you and I can conquer this world

Explosion! Explosion! If I leave it as it is and break away
Explosion! Explosion! I can't wait. There is no time anymore
Explosion! Explosion! If I leave it as it is and break away
Explosion! Explosion! I can't wait. There is no time anymore

Wind Your Spring

It is time to wake up, now
Let's rush out of your room, now
If you have nothing to do, you must be bored

Getting dangerous again
Let's take out your weapon
If you do nothing at all, you'll be destroyed

Nothing's impossible
If you wind your spring
You can do anything

If you have nothing to do, you must be bored

It is time to wake up, now
The alarm clock's ringing, now
If you have nothing to do, you must be bored

There are rumors in this world
Let's get them out of this world
If you have nothing to do, you must feel tired

Nothing's impossible
If you wind your spring
You can do everything

Nothing's impossible
If you wind your spring
You can do everything

The Perfect World

I listen to music to know that I am not alone
I read books to know that I am not alone

I look at you and I see I am not alone
When I reach out to you it feels like coming home

I'm coming to a perfect world with you
I'm waiting for the moment with you, hey hey hey hey

Over my head, really   Never felt like this before, maybe
Can't say the reason, clearly   The rhythym beats me,
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling   You know that feeling

I listen to music to know that I am not alone
And when I touch you, I find we're not the only ones

I'm coming to a perfect world with you
I'm waiting for the moment with you, hey hey hey hey

Over my head, really   Never felt like this before, maybe
Can't say the reason, clearly   The rhythym beats me,
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling   You know that feeling

The perfect world is hard to reach   The perfect world makes us happy
Get going to get the groove   Get going to catch your move

Overhead, over my head, really   Never felt like this before, maybe
Can't say the reason, clearly   The rhythym beats me,
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling   You know that feeling

E.S.P.

Extrasensory perception, She has special powers
Extrasensory perception, She has special powers

I saw her on the TV, I gotta deep impression
She can guess the future, She can guess your past
Is it true or false? Many skillful tricks
I don't know what's real, Unless I see her face to face

E.S.P. E.S.P. E.S.P.

She knows about ghosts, She can read your mind
But I don't believe her, And I wanna see her
The TV program continues, Irrespective of my thought
Momentary amusements, So for now I'll make a rule of believing

E.S.P. E.S.P. E.S.P.

Does she have E.S.P. Yes, she has E.S.P.
Does she have E.S.P. Yes, she has E.S.P.
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
I wanna know what's real

Extrasensory perception, She has special powers
Extrasensory perception, She has special powers

Does she have E.S.P. Yes, she has E.S.P.
Does she have E.S.P. Yes, she has E.S.P.
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, wanna know

Does she have E.S.P. Yes, she has E.S.P.
Does she have E.S.P. Yes, she has E.S.P.
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
I wanna know what's real

Let's get up early in the morning like a bird
Take a ride to the happy crazy fun fun park
The amusement park we'll have lots of fun

Feeling boredom every day

I get high with you on the loop di loop
I'm satisfied on the loop di loop
Feel dizzy on the loop di loop
I get happy on the loop di loop

Wonder Wine

Feel fine when I wake up in the morning
I feel good when I see the sun rise
If I drink wonder wine before I go to bed
Don't know the ingredients
But it tastes so sweet

I feel fine when I have a funny dream
I feel bad when I sweat at night
If I drink wonder wine just a bit
I don't know where it's from
But it tastes so sweet

Wonder wine you gave me
Wonder wine you know what it is
Wonder wine you gave me
Did you experiment with me

Feel fine when I wake up in the morning
I feel good when I see the sun rise
If I drink wonder wine before I go to bed
Don't know the ingredients
But it tastes so sweet

Wonder wine you gave me
Wonder wine you know what it is
Wonder wine you gave me
Did you experiment with me

Wonder wine you gave me
Wonder wine you know what it is
Wonder wine you gave me
Tell me your plan now
Before I go too far

Magic Joe

Hey Magic Joe, you're my plastic robot toy
Hey Magic Joe, send my letter to my boy

I put the batteries into Joe's body
And he starts to work, sending up smoke

Hey Magic Joe, you're my plastic robot toy
Hey Magic Joe, send my letter to my boy

Red eyes are sparkling   He's looking alive
Moving powerfully   He's doing jive

Hey Magic Joe, you're my plastic robot toy
Hey Magic Joe, send my letter to my boy

He's receiving my command   Grabbing my letter
Slowly he turns his face left and right
Laser beam eyes, metallic body
Chastise the bad guys with his electronic brain

Tower Of The Sun

Since 1970, standing alone on a northern hill
Waiting steadily for time to move
Since 1970, a shining face, 60 feet tall
Looking out at the distance impassively

The sun can't shine on all creatures
There's a sunny place cause there's the shade
Sun can't shine on all creatures
There's a sunny place cause there's the shade

Tower of the sun   When do you start to move
Tower of the sun   When do you start to move

Since 1970, he's had two wings on his back
Standing in the sun with open wings
Since 1970, his body's painted red & white
What does he symbolize?   Nobody knows

The sun can't shine on all creatures
There's a sunny place cause there's the shade
Sun can't shine on all creatures
There's a sunny place cause there's the shade

Tower of the sun   When do you start to move
Tower of the sun   When do you start to move
Tower of the sun   When do you start to move
Tower of the sun   When do you start to move

Keep on rockin', rockin'   Wanna get the power of music
Keep on rockin', rockin'   Wanna have a good time with you
Keep on rockin', rockin'   Wanna get the power of music

Buddha's Face

Rotten heart makes a dull sound   Everything becomes dirty
You don't even notice if you're gonna be a mummy

Hang down, hang down   Hang down to the bottom
Hang down, hang down   Hang down to the bottom
Hang down, hang down   Hang down to the bottom
Hang down, hang down   Hang down to the bottom
You've gone too far this time

Formaldehyde brain melts and flows
Picking up eybells and lining them up.

Swarming, swarming   Swarming with flys
Swarming, swarming   Swarming with flys
Swarming, swarming   Swarming with flys
Swarming, swarming   Swarming with flys

Humid air hanging over   Stink of sewers
Big rat went to die   Cause its fat

Going, going   Going to hell
Going, going   Going to hell
Going, going   Going to hell
Going, going   Going to hell
You've gone too far this time

One Week

Monday I go to watch Sumo wrestling
It's an easy day to get a good ticket.
Tuesday my friends come to my house
And we play the Twister game.
Wednesday I play computer games all day
My favorite's Jewelbox.
Thursday I drive to a toy shop
And I buy a Barbie doll.
Friday I go to see the Kinks
Dancing screaming and drinking beer.
Saturday I go ice skating
Playing tennis is very good too.
Sunday what movie do I wanna watch
How about the new Star Trek flick?
Monday to Sunday one week has seven days.
One week one week one week one week one week one week one week one week
One week one week one week one week one week one week one week one week
One week one week one week one week one week one week one week one week
One week one week one week one week one week one week one week one week
One. Weak. Life.
