First True Sight

I miss those days
Before this all began
The ball upon the hill
The lies in my mind
I'm waiting on you
Waiting in the dark night
I'll keep moving on
Searching for my true sight
I want the real view
It's hiding on my dark side
When I feel you
I see you for the first time
The light doesn't shine up here
It's strange, I feel no fear
It comes into view
Things will never be the same
I'm waiting on you
Waiting in the dark night
I'll keep moving on
Searching for my true sight
I want the real view
It's hiding on my dark side
When I feel you
I see you for the first time
The town is down below
They don't know what I've found
The curse has turned on me
The secrets I must keep
I'm waiting on you
Waiting in the dark night
I'll keep moving on
Searching for my true sight
I want the real view
It's hiding on my dark side
When I feel you
I see you for the first time
Looking for my true sight
This is my first sight
When I feel you
I see you for the first time

Who Killed The Cow?
02:42
|

|
That farmer's not too happy
His Friesian's become a crater
Just so many hoofs in a hole
How strange
How strange
Yeah
And as he looks at Daisy
He thinks it could have been a landmine
But there'd be little bits of Daisy everywhere
How strange
How strange
Yeah
You know the cause of it
But you don't want to take the blame
You know the cause of it
But you don't want to take the blame
For another dead cow
I'm feeling bad
About how this turned out
I'm feeling bad
About how this turned out
I'm feeling bad
About how this turned out
I hope they don't know

Me And My Steam Robot
06:31
|
|||
|
In my spare time
I go to a scrap yard
Just outside of town
It's full of various things
Made out of metal
Come on
One day I found something new
Bipedal, artificial sentience
It's powered by steamed H2O
I don't know where the coal goes
Me and my steam robot
Me and my steam robot
Me and my steam robot
Me and my steam robot
Bring on
Bring on the fight
You'll protect me from the ball in the sky
Come on
Me and my steam robot
Me and my steam robot
Me and my steam robot
Me and my steam robot
I'll steam for you
I'll steam for you
I'll steam for you
You can't hug him
Because he will burn you
When he's working hard
He sounds just like a train

The Ball Starts To Move
05:33
|
|||
|
Something moves in the dead of night
Something gigantic and towering high
A silhouette of a spherical shape
A silhouette that doesn't wait
Just calm down
Its not real
Is it?
The giant ball that I see in dreams
The giant ball that is gaining speed
Rolling down the side of the hill
Rolling faster, and faster still
Destroying fences and crushing trees
Destroying everything that's in its way
I can't stop
I can't give up
Tonight
Have to find a way to stop the ball
Have to find a way to close the door
It's too late

I prayed he'd never step foot
In our house before I woke
He's wearing all my clothes
And sitting with my folks
I watched him all night
I know
My folks prefer the clone
Their laughing at his jokes
I feel it in my bones
They love my stupid clone
I noticed all night
I know
Just leave right now
Before it goes any further, now
There's nothing to stop him
Anymore
But I've got to warn them
Because he has got an axe
But how can I fight him?
