roundabout

I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
I spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley

The music dance and sing
They make the children really ring
I spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you

I will remember you
Your silhouette will charge the view
Of distant atmosphere
Call it morning driving thru the sound and even in the valley

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you

Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching down on the land
Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees the rim of the land
The eagle's dancing wings create as weather spins out of hand

Go closer hold the land feel partly no more than grains of sand
We stand to lose all time a thousand answers by in our hand
Next to your deeper fears we stand surrounded by million years

I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
Twenty four before my love and I'll be there

I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
You spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you

perfect system

I'm in love with you, I know
And I know that you love me, too
I'm in love with you, I know
I'm in love with everyone, too
We're all comrades now, you know
We're all brothers under the skin
With a few adjustments, now
Living in the perfect system

The adjustment's simple; there's really no pain
You'll hardly notice anything has changed

Living in a programmed life never 
Really has ups and downs
There's no need for fighting now
There's no reason to wear a frown

In a perfect system
There's no confrontation
Unnecessary friction
To impede our concentration
We've simply done away with
Unnecessary friction
I live in a system
I got an occupation
I get enough nutrition
By eating protein biscuits
Recommended by the system
It's routine regulation
I had an operation....

I'm in love with you, I know
And I know that you love me, too
I'm in love with you, I know
I'm in love with everyone, too

I can tell by the look in your blank, dull eyes
That you agree, but I'm not a bit surprised

Living in a programmed life never 
Really has ups and downs
There's no need for fighting now
There's no reason to wear a frown

I had an operation
With no adverse reaction
They tampered with my brain some
It helped me see the reason
For living in the system
It helped me see the reason

(We're all brothers in a perfect world)
In a perfect world, there's uniformity
(We're all brothers in a perfect world)
In a perfect world, there's continuity
(We're all brothers in a perfect world)
There's no need for spontaneity 
Perfect system; we're all brothers to the end
Brothers to the end
Brothers to the end
I know, and I know that you love me, too
(Brothers to the end) 
I know I'm in love with everyone, too
(Brothers to the end)
I know we're all comrades under the skin
(Brothers to the end)
I know, living in a perfect system
Brothers to the end!

i’m on the outside

They laugh at me aloud
They say I'm just a clown
That I ain't got no pride
I'm on the outside

The girls look really cute
They really make it work
They think I'm just a jerk
I'm on the outside

I never could sit still
I never was too hip
I never caught the ride
I'm on the outside

I'm on the outside, I'm the outside now
This is where it all begins
On the outside, lookin' in; I'm on the outside

I never was a punk
I never shot junk
I never even tried, counterculture 
Passed me right by
(I'm on the outside)

Don't talk to debutantes 
Don't eat in restaurants 
The patrons sit and stare
The waiters make wisecracks behind my back
(I'm on the outside)

Teachers there in school
They flunked me by the rule
They say I had no motivation, brains, or dedication
I guess the imbeciles were right; I'm on the outside

I'm on the outside, I'm on the outside now
This is where it all begins: on the outside, looking in
Looking in
At you
I'm just an alien through and through
Tryin' to make believe I'm you
Tryin' to fit
Just a stranger on the outside, looking in

The disco makes me sick 
I wear the wrong clothes
I say the wrong things
You know I can't dance
My feet are much too wide 
(I'm on the outside)

You think you set the trends
You wear your hair just right
Your clothes are outta sight
Your house is modern; really kitsch 
You get so macho when you're with your bitch
(I'm on the outside)

I see them go to work
I see them go to sleep
I see them on TV
I see them laugh and cry
I'm on the outside

I'm on the outside, I'm on the outside now
This is where it all begins: on the outside, looking in
Looking in
At you
I'm just an alien through and through
Tryin' to make believe I'm you
Tryin' to fit
Just a stranger on the outside, looking in

I'm on the outside now

the air that I breathe

If I could make a wish I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat no books to read

There's nothing left to be desired

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
Just to have you now
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want

All I need is the air that I breathe

All I need is the air that I breathe
