The World Is Flat 4:01
Lyrics
The World Is Flat
It is not too late to carry on
So you’ve made mistakes
And here’s another one
Oh but you deserve another chance
Chase it round until you face yourselfThe world is flat and we are insane
And we have fallen off again
It really helps to know the wayWhat if you take more than you deserve
What if you give all and you get nothing back
Sell your soul not your stereo
Take your favourite songs and sail offThe world is flat and we are insane
And we have fallen off again
The world is right and we are mad
And world opinions where it’s at
Don’t rate the score don’t take the blame
The world is flat and we’re insaneI won’t be sad I won’t be sorry
I’ve no regrets and i don’t worry
I’ll roll the sail and i won’t let go
I’ll ride the wave until tomorrowThere are some who do and some do not
There are some who can’t
And we’re the other ones
Shape your fate, let your body go
Take your favourite songs and sail awayThe world is flat and we are insane
And we have fallen off again
The world is right and we are mad
And world opinions where it’s at
Don’t rate the score don’t take the blame
The world is flat and we’re insanelalalalalalala…, lalalalalalala…

Holding The Wire 3:32
Lyrics
Holding The Wire
My very ordinary sanguinary thoughts
Make you feel insecure
I don’t care any more
Did my opinions kill your reputation
Ripped your elegant plans
That’s the way that i am
Darling, your lonely nights
Have turned into lonely daysI just wanna know
Are you scared of the real thing
Are you searching for sympathy
Walking a wire on your ownRunning round in syharitic circles
But the ghosts in your path
They were there from the start
Wrapped around your need to feed your ego
Lost yourself in the race
And the hunger remains
Darling, your lonely nights
Have turned into lonely daysI just wanna know
Are you scared of the real thing
Are you searching for sympathy
Walking a wire on your ownYou want it (you got it) X2
You want it (you take it)
Then you’re sorry
You do it all again tomorrow
No one cares and no one followsYou want it (you got it) X2
You want it (you take it)
Then you’re sorry
Swallowing the same excuses
Falling in the same holes
Darling, your lonely nights
Have turned into lonely daysI just wanna know
Are you scared of the real thing
Are you searching for sympathy
Walking a wire on your own
i just wanna know
Are you waiting for something
When your world is in darkness
When you’re alone - The World Is Flat (Remix) 4:57

Drive Myself Distracted 4:21
Lyrics
Drive Myself Distracted
Like an ordinary, like an ordinary thought
That drifts into a naked eye
How extraordinary, things are happening
Can’t stop myself, i’m sinking into broken ice
I’ve a head that burns
Can I hold my head upThere’s a storm around me
Love its violence, a fever rush
A push, a shove inside
Do I wanna do what i do
I wanna loosen the noose
And take a tumble as i roll the dice
I’ve a head that burns
And I hold my head up high, because i canAnd if I drive myself distracted
That is just the way i am
If it pleases me to waste may time
Then try to understand
If I lose myself in what I do
That’s just because I can
Like a tidal wave, i’m coming close
To knowing what I amAre you turning corners, are you coming closer
Close enough to take you for a ride
Do you ever do what you fear
You ever lived for the thrill
Enough to fill you up inside
I’ve a head that burns
And I hold my head up high, bacause i canAnd if I drive myself distracted
That is just the way i am
If it pleases me to waste may time
Then try to understand
If I lose myself in what I do
That’s just because I can
Like a tidal wave, i’m coming close
To knowing what I am -
Falling Flame 4:06
Lyrics
Falling Flame
As the rain pours down
Washes out my thoughts of you
And the hurling sound
It’s wallows up your name
Iconoclast, the hidden past you left before you came
You charmed my darkest hour
It’s close again and things are not the sameI remember you, you’re the one who came
Crawling from the past, like a falling flameDid you hold it down, or give yourself away
Did you hold it back, or open up the gates
To call a flood to sweep it up
Or drown it in the rainI remember you, you’re the one who came
Falling from the past, like a falling flameI never chose to be this way, to be alone
There never was another choice, there never wasAs the rain pours down
Washes out my thoughts of you
And the hurling sound
It’s wallows up your nameI remember you, you’re the one who came
Falling from the past, like a falling flameI remember you, i remember you
Like a falling flame,like a falling flame
I remember you, I remember you…
