LYRICS: Welcome, I'm Strange Lost and deranged This is my world, The wonderful world of weird! Nobody sees this tormenting me, It's all in my mind, there's nothing to see, Endless creations that live inside me, Won't leave me alone until they're set free Nothing else matters apart from these dreams It's 24/7 but I don't know what they mean This is my brain, Slightly insane Mr. Strange is what they call me, With good reason, now you will see. Welcome to the mind of a lunatic Come and meet the man who's lost in this shit Stuck inside creations so surreal and weird, It's half pure bliss half pure fear, Happy as Larry, my madness is married, To me, to me! It's meant to be, Musical melodies from the beyond, They flow from me to you and then they're gone, You don't complain so I assume you like it, You're nodding your head and don't seem to fight it The lights are on but there's nobody home, I'm off in the clouds with adoring crowds, They praise my weirdness and say I'm the best, I must agree, who am I to contest, Welcome to the mind of a lunatic Come and meet the man who's lost in this shit Stuck inside creations so surreal and weird, It's half pure bliss half pure fear, Think this is fun? Hell yeah! Stare at the sun Double dare! Don't want to run? Nowhere! So now we let the games begin! Life's a game and I like to play it, Life's a game but don't you dare say it, Day by day it's more of the same shit, (But I escape it) Welcome, I'm Strange Lost and deranged This is my world, The wonderful world of weird! I paint a picture with these words Create new worlds with these sounds Lift your head out of the dirt Allow yourself to be astounded Welcome to my mind The strangest dreams are alive No such thing as time In this universe of mine Forget this world that you know I've got a whole new show Forget it all and let go, Ride this undertow I have metamorphosised Into something man-sized Genius unrecognised, I'll make the Gods cry Your world rejected me, But revenge will be mine! I rise above envy To commit the greatest crime Societies demise Chaos theory will rise Conspiracies will cry Your world will slowly die Hello there, I'm glad you volunteered, To see my Wonderful World Of Weird, My dreams manifest physically, The sound waves are a tsunami, I reject your world and all you stand for, Don't blame me because I want a little more, Join me and live in my world, Sing along all you boys and girls! The Wonderful World Of Weird! The Wonderful World Of Weird! The Wonderful World Of Weird! The Wonderful World Of Weird!

Carousel 04:04
LYRICS: The show’s in full swing, So drop your fucking things, stop spinning, Nicotine stains on our brains, It’s all the same, White trash machines, Dirty fiends with silent screams, Carny fucking superstars, We are what you are, We’re a freak show, Where to go? We don’t know, Round and round and round we go! Carousel, Spinning ‘til you go insane, Carousel, This world will melt your brain, Carousel, Decadent spirals And multi-coloured labels Everything’s a blur, Speeding up ‘til it takes you under, Apathy is everything, But still I sing, Welcome to the carousel, It’s a living hell, We’re a freak show, Where to go? We don’t know, Round and round and round we go! Carousel, Spinning ‘til you go insane, Carousel, This world will melt your brain, Carousel, Life is a carousel my dear, It keeps us spinning, People don’t understand our world, They want to change it, Welcome to the freak show babe, We’ll never change you, Endlessly spinning, it's a carousel, Round and round and round you go, Where you'll end you'll never know, Round and round and round you go, Where you'll end you'll never know, Life is a carousel my dear, It keeps us spinning, People don’t understand our world, They want to change it, Welcome to the freak show babe, We’ll never change you, 4 3 2 1, Carousel.

LYRICS: Disco bitch, Disco bitch, Disco, Disco, I see you walk in, I see you hit the floor, You dance like you want it, You know I know the score, You make it look easy, You make me want more, Yeah, what I see is pleasing, You’ve done this before, You play the pure, And I’ll play the devil on your shoulder, You play the whore, And I’ll be the one taking over, You move like a cheap hooker, But you’re ugly when you talk, Disco bitch, Rock my world, Dancefloor whore, You’re my girl, That sinful hue, All eyes are on you, Disco bitch, Disco bitch, Disco, Disco, That outfit is shocking, But why keep it on? Let’s see your skirt rising, As I play your song, You’re not shy, I like that, Lets do some wrong, Baby, I’m the devil, You’re the whore of Babylon, You play the pure, And I’ll play the devil on your shoulder, You are the whore, And I am the one taking over, You move like a cheap hooker, But you’re ugly when you talk, Disco bitch, Rock my world, Dancefloor whore, You’re my girl, That sinful hue, All eyes are on you, Get down, Get down, I know you want it ‘cos it makes you feel alive.

Bump and grind, twist and jive, Let’s forget about our shitty little live’s, So come on down and move your ass, Drink some booze or smoke some grass, We got bills to pay, work our live’s away, A drug induced concussion’ll make it go away, Life’s a play, it’s like a cabaret I know this much, it’s plain as day, It’s a game, Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Come on inside and see the show, You want to know what you don’t know, We’ll show you a mirror, then you can go, They say: “I got everything you want, I got everything you need” We say: Look real deep inside, You’ll be shocked at what you’ll find, No more lies, there’s just no fucking way, Your too much, you really blow me away, Brain Dead Boogie (x 4) Round and round and round you go, Life’s a Merry-Go-Round, don’t you know? Answers everywhere and there all on sale, Smell the bullshit and inhale, Everybody want’s what everybody’s got, It’s just a shame that it’s not a lot, Wonder why every day feels the same? Ain’t no wonder when no one knows your name, Life’s a game, Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Come on inside and see the show, You want to know what you don’t know, We’ll show you a mirror, then you can go, They say: “I got everything you want, I got everything you need” We say: Look real deep inside, You’ll be shocked at what you’ll find, No more lies, there’s just no fucking way, Your too much, you really blow me away, Ain’t it strange, the game’s we play, While we ignore our decay, Got to be number one, But it’s a battle that can’t be won, Brain dead boogie! Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Come on inside and see the show, You want to know what you don’t know, We’ll show you a mirror, then you can go, They say: “I got everything you want, I got everything you need” We say: Look real deep inside, You’ll be shocked at what you’ll find, No more lies, there’s just no fucking way, Your too much, you really blow me away, Brain Dead Boogie (x 4) Freak Show!

LYRICS: In the house of upside down, Cellar's top floor, attic's ground, In the house of upside down, Laughing cries and smiles frown, In the house of upside down, Found is lost and lost is found, I am metal and so cold, Once was young but now so old, Every tear just makes me rust, A man-machine just gathering dust, I am clockwork, Mechanical, Set your watches, By my routine, I go to work, For salary, But no one's watching, When I dream, I escape this clockwork, By dreaming my reality, I ask you, don't pity me, The cogs turn, I never learn, One day, I'll run down, On that day, I'll be found, Til that day, keep ticking, Along, to this song, Every day just feels the same, I feel no love and no pain, In my home there's no one there, Two blank faces simply stare, I am, A clockwork man, I am clockwork, Mechanical, Set your watches, By my routine, I go to work, For salary, But no one's watching, When I dream, I escape this clockwork, By dreaming my reality, I ask you, don't pity me, The cogs turn, I never learn, Every day I do the same, It drives me slowly insane, Lost for a reason, I've forgotten, Why I do this, now I'm rotten, It might be funny if it weren't quite so tragic, I got my money, but my world has no magic, Keep ticking, keep ticking, Day in, day out, inside out. I don't quite see the point in all this, (talk) It's no match for a loving kiss, Wind us up and off we go, (talk) Our final destination is unknown, Keep ticking, keep ticking, Day in, day out, inside out. I don't quite see the point in all this, (talk) It's no match for a loving kiss, Wind us up and off we go, (talk) Our final destination is unknown,

We are the creeps, the weirdos and freaks, The one’s who make the world complete, You like to stop and stand and stare, point and laugh and taunt us all, But we are the one’s who know who we are, Unlike the people you think you are, You try so hard to fit in, you’re shit scared of looking within, Strangest of strangers, Weirdest of weirdos, Queerest of queers, Your more than welcome here, Crazy, we’re crazy, They hate us the way we’re meant to be, Crazy, we’re crazy, They hate us and our twisted family, Rejected and mocked and beaten and kicked, While everybody looks and laughs, Hide inside and lock the door, swallow the key and never come out, Rejected by god, jesus and jah, Just for being who we are, Depression gives way to the purest of rage, I want to scream ‘Fuck them all!’ Strangest of strangers, Weirdest of weirdos, Queerest of queers, Your more than welcome here, Crazy, we’re crazy, They hate us the way we’re meant to be, Crazy, we’re crazy, They hate us and our twisted family, Keep on dancing, keep on grinning, We’re not alone, we’re family, Keep on dancing, keep on grinning, We’re not alone, we’re family,

Watch out, the lizard man comes, Beware his serpent tongue, Must hide from his evil eyes, Must run from the dead ones cries, He sees in to your dreams, It's "him" that makes you scream. Hey you, do you wanna feel pain? I'll take you to his domain, Show you the lizard man's lair, Show you what lies in there, Dead dreams of dying rock stars, Sat there with their broken guitars, Sad fools with their minds full of cash, And arrogance that met it's match, Yeah! Yeah! He lives! He lives! Bring it on down for the freakiest guy, He's a sinner and that's no lie, He's more than just a twisted fiend, He's worse than anything you've dreamed, Get down to the sound of his song, Get down, because you won't be here long... Yeah! Yeah! He lives! He lives! You cannot get away, you cannot break though, It's the lizard man, he lives in you, Slipping away though time and space...

Addiction 04:27
You’re bad for my health, I don’t think for myself, I’m a match, you’re paraffin, I’m a needle, you’re heroin, I know you’re killing me, I can’t quit, I need you in me, I’m a mess, you’re death in a dress, Go ahead, take my breath, And they say it’s not natural, But it comes naturally to me, Our love is fiction, You’re my addiction, You and me, we’re deadly lovers Too blind to see we’ll destroy each other, One more fix, then I swear I’ll quit, Make it quick, I can’t take it I need the light, you makes things black, You throw me away, I keep coming back, There’s rot, I’m almost gone, If I die, you’ll just move on, Take aim and look in my eye, Do your worst, I won’t ask why, You’re my drug, I’m shaking and weak, You’re a relapse I’m bound to repeat And they say it’s not natural, But it comes naturally to me, Our love is fiction, You’re my addiction, You’re rotting me from the inside out, but, You’re in my veins and I can’t go without, You’re my addiction, I’m gonna break, oh, I need to be sedated, Too much to take, I know, You’re overrated, I’m gonna break, oh, You’re gonna break me, aren’t you? Too much to take, oh no, I think I want you to, You and me, we’re deadly lovers Too blind to see we’ll destroy each other, One more fix, then I swear I’ll quit, Make it quick, I can’t take it.

Here we go, it's the mental maelstrom, Go grab your board and ride the storm, Steadfast, let the winds blow through me, Kiss the waves and ride the tsunami, Hear the thunder clap with a bang bang, Psycho surfing-a-go-go, Bad emotions are coming in waves, Giving birth to many tubular days, Beware the backwash undertow, Don't fight the force, just let it go, Hear the thunder clap with a bang bang, Psycho surfing-a-go-go, Ride the waves, ride the waves, Ride, ride! Split the surf with a vision in red, Even the best ones loose their heads, Feel the fear, feel the, fear the riptide, Dragging hard, it's gonna drown your mind, Hear the thunder clap with a bang bang, Psycho surfing-a-go-go, Ride the waves, ride the waves, Ride, ride! I have woken upside down underneath the sea, Madness dragging me right down, and I cannot break free, Gotta break free from insanity, But the tide pulls me back in the deep again, Gotta break free from insanity, But the current's just too strong, Hear the thunder clap with a bang bang, Psycho surfing-a-go-go, (x3) (guitar solo) I have woken upside down underneath the sea, Madness dragging me right down, and I cannot break free, Gotta break free from insanity, But the tide pulls me back in the deep again, Gotta break free from insanity, But the current's just too strong, I see a world though mad mans eyes, You would not believe, I see a world though mad mans eyes, Storms, they rock the sea, (x2) Gotta break free from insanity!

Anti-Light 04:41
This is a nightmare I cannot escape, Watching all my aspirations slowly fading away, I’m stuck in a spiral that’s going down, With only my bitterness to comfort me, You’re lonely and you’re blue, Your feelings are not true, You don’t wanna speak in case someone will hear, You don’t wanna look in case you see yourself, The dream machine... Don’t you start complaining again, Be glad for what you get and pretend you like it, Days pass by in a dreamlike blur, I’m happy to be sad, I’m a contradiction, Slightly mad and self deluded, Convince myself that this isn’t fiction. You’re lonely and you’re blue, Your feelings are not true, You don’t wanna speak in case someone will hear, You don’t wanna look in case you see yourself, The dream machine... My reality comes crashing down, I run for shelter in this barren ground, The dream is dying but I can’t let go, I burnt my bridges and I have no home, This isn’t real… The dream machine... Anti-Light, Anti-Light, Anti-Light, Anti-Light,

It's A Sin 04:14
When I look back upon my life it's always with a sense of shame I've always been the one to blame For everything I long to do no matter when or where or who has one thing in common too It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin It's a sin Everything I've ever done Everything I ever do Every place I've ever been Everywhere I'm going to It's a sin At school they taught me how to be so pure in thought and word and deed They didn't quite succeed For everything I long to do no matter when or where or who has one thing in common too It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin It's a sin Everything I've ever done Everything I ever do Every place I've ever been Everywhere I'm going to It's a sin Father forgive me I tried not to do it Turned over a new leaf then tore right through it Whatever you taught me I didn't believe it Father you fought me 'cause I didn't care and I still don't understand It's a sin Everything I've ever done Everything I ever do Every place I've ever been Everywhere I'm going to I It's a sin

It's alive baby, A flash of light, crazy? Just as well, maybe, This is you dreaming, A music box singing, Your ear drums ringing, A psychopath grinning, The music is breathing, Song for no seasons, Devoid of all reason, Musical treason, Sanity screaming, Dumb down, Art that’s easily digestible, Dumb down, My hooks are irresistible, Dumb down, Ridicule it in every way you can, Dumb down, It’s only music man! It’s just another song to get stuck in your head, For days and days and days and days, Our music box won’t stop until the day that we’re dead, And it plays and plays and plays and plays! Music box (x3) Neon chords clawing, Sarcastic bite gnawing, A cold stare thawing, You pay for what you get The box keeps turning, Ideas keep churning, Fire keeps burning, And you've not heard it all yet, Yeah! (x3) Dumb down, Art that’s easily digestible, Dumb down, My hooks are irresistible, Dumb down, Ridicule it in every way you can, Dumb down, It’s only music man!

Music box (x3) Yeah yeah yeah yeah! Music box (x3) It’s only music man! Dumb down.
14.
There’s a hole in your heart, And I say give it away, Indulge in everything, Sin in any which way, We’re sick, We’re filth, Deviant abominations, Get down, Get off, I’ll be your fantasy, I want you to touch me, I want the devil to fuck me, Give me the Bible of Electric Pornography, There’s lust in your heart, Let it out, don’t pray it away, Find pleasure everywhere, Have whatever your crave, There’s an unknown world out there, Take it all, lay it bare, You want me, I want you, It’s up to us what we do, We’re sick, We’re filth, Deviant abominations, Get down, Get off, I’ll be your fantasy, I want you to touch me, I want the devil to fuck me, Give me the Bible of Electric Pornography, All the children sing, We are something (else) All the children sing, This is happening, All the children sing, This is your church bell ringing, I scream your name, You’ll never be the same, We are, Evil, Sickness, Give in to us, We are, Evil, Sickness, Give in to us, We’re alive, It’s beautiful, We’re alive, We’re beautiful, Welcome to your future, A new dawn of experience, Spit upon the dogma, Call an end to self-resentment, Deviant ritual, Deviant ritual, We were born sick, We were born sick.
15.
The night’s young, we’re looking for fun, Pretty bitches don’t eat, People get weird when there’s no sun, Hell gives the city its heat, You say we look good and we repeat, Pretty bitches don’t eat, It’s all wrong, but feels so right, It makes us complete, We got the drugs and cum, But who the hell bought the loaded gun? As we laugh and somebody screams, He pulls up in a big black limousine, “Hey, get in the car Lets go for a ride” Your lips say that sound like fun, But I look in your eyes and they say run, These pills make the darkest nights bright, We live for these sodom nights, The devils says he knows who we are, We watch the city from the back of his car, He’s got the lines well rehearsed, Everything’s inverse, He says ‘Let’s get perverse’, Then things took a turn for the worse, Lucifer’s masturbating, And your pupils start dilating, The door’s locked and I hear you shout, I was scared until the world blacked out, We woke up covered in blood, As cold as the stars above, We’re a part of somebody’s crime Left in a ditch behind the Hollywood sign, These pills make the darkest nights bright, We live for these sodom nights, The devils says he knows who we are, We watch the city from the back of his car, Sodom nights, Sodom nights,
16.
Playground twist, The memories I missed, Childish dreams that never went away... Childhood has gone, It all went wrong, Please daddy please, Just let me be, Grandmother is waiting, Run into her arms, Lullabies at bedtime, Nightmares are real, 1, 2, 3, 4, Open the door, You know what for, Playground Twist, The memories I missed, Childish dreams that never went away… Girl on a swing, Such an innocent thing, But innocence dies, And her mother will cry. Daisy chains and laughter, Of a summer long ago, But now it’s only winter, And the magic is dead. 1, 2, 3, 4, Open the door, You know what for, Playground Twist, The memories I missed, Childish dreams that never went away…
17.
Exile 05:07
Welcome to exile In the rain and the rumbling thunder, Cast asunder, they threw me under, A life damned by venomous spiel, Now an ideal left for an animals meal, I broke my chains after endless toil, Then I kneeled, exhausted, in the sodden soil, Rain boiled with the tears on my face, An abandoned man, I embrace my disgrace, Forget my name, I am an outcast, A sunset on my shame, But I will outlast, Forgiveness or vengeance? Everyone will pay, Retribution or penance? Any which way, Squinted eyes damn the land behind, I leave the lies to the ones who mind, Shamed in the eyes of faithful blind, But untwined from all the ties that bind, Farewell to fake smiles and bile, Welcome endless miles, beautiful exile, Laugh at my pain, I'm glad it makes you smile, It shows we're not the same, So I embrace exile, Forgiveness or vengeance? Everyone will pay, Retribution or penance? Any which way, I'm toxic to touch, so you built a wall I turn my back on you all, and embrace the fall, I proclaimed innocence, but you refused to hear, Now alone with my fear, in the world of weird, It's all a metaphor for something more, A world behind an invisible door, The realm of real and that of imagination, Crash together in my creation, Forgiveness or vengeance? Everyone will pay, Retribution or penance? Any which way,
18.
You don’t want a love song, So this is about war, You don’t want the good guy, You want the villain, When the bombs start falling we sing, When the bombs start falling we sing, Wet dreams of a world on fire, There’s no peace for humanity, We go fists first to kill ‘em all, Can’t love without hate in your heart, So find someone to blame, If we’re not fighting someone, We’re not living, When the bombs start falling we sing, When the bombs start falling we sing, Wet dreams of a world on fire, There’s no peace for humanity, We go fists first to kill ‘em all, There is a darkness in the heart of every man, And it’s eating us alive, There’s not much love in the world, Sympathies and bleeding hearts don’t matter much, Repeat, repeat, History repeats, Repeat, repeat, We always forget in time, You want the villain, Villain, You want the villain, Villain,
19.
If I, I get to know your name Well if I, could trace your private number, baby All I know is that to me You look like you're lots of fun Open up your lovin' arms I want some, want some I set my sights on you (and no one else will do) And I, I've got to have my way now, baby All I know is that to me You look like you're having fun Open up your lovin' arms Watch out here I come You spin me right round, baby Right round like a record, baby Right round round round You spin me right round, baby Right round like a record, baby Right round round round I got to be your friend now, baby And I would like to move in just a little bit closer All I know is that to me You look like you're lots of fun Open up your lovin' arms Watch out, here I come You spin me right round, baby Right round like a record, baby Right round round round You spin me right round, baby Right round like a record, baby Right round round round, I wanna do it like Pete Burns, I want your mind to twist and turn, I wanna do it like Pete Burns, My gender you cannot discern, Evolve beyond nature, Androgynous super creature, Spin me ‘round and let me know, How far you want to go, Tell me what you want from me, I’ll be yours if you belong to me, Hold me close, I wanna feel your breath, As you undo the back of my dress, Make me yours with one caress, Our gender's split and coalesce, Awake, Don’t dream it, Awake, Be it, If it’s a sin, Sin, I won’t judge you, Give in, It’s better to rule in hell, Than to serve in heaven,
20.
See a shooting star, Make a wish, Don’t say, Don’t tell, See a broken dream, Soaked in piss, Don’t say, Don’t tell, For every action, There’s consequences, For my reaction, There’s consequences, When the butterfly flaps its wings, The effects surprise, Storm winds sing, Telling lies and feigning surprise, We transgress but we’re no actress, And when the day comes when we must pay the price, Tears won’t suffice, The truth can truth hurt our fragile egos, We run away to face it another day, And when the day comes when we must pay the price, Tears won’t suffice, There’s consequences, There’s consequences, There’s consequences, There’s consequences,
