Shake Me 04:30
Got a fire burning down, I got steam coming out my ears I'll take life, I'll take love With all it's weight, it's heavy pounds Let's just fuck around Experience the wild things Live the life of sin. Wake me. Break me. Just shake me on down. Oh, you just gotta give in There's nothing for you but reckless abandon And the tingling running all the way down Living one for the ages The sages always saved me From my weaknesses They asked that I forgive the night For giving way to the light. Wake me. Break me. Just shake me on down.

Crowd 03:22
I'm feeling dangerous Trickle down from the National Trust Turns out the past doesn't matter much Shimmers like love Disappears like lust. Oh, let me on in Come dance out in the light again Let me down easy I'm with you now Let your hair hang down Let you laugh lines out You know you still stick out in a crowd I got a dial tone Exile at the other end of the phone Got a revolution ringing in my ears Just won't stop Don't feel any louder But I keep turning it up Oh, let me on in Come dance out in the light again Let me down easy I'm with you now Let your hair hang down Let you laugh lines out You know you still stick out in a crowd

Noise 03:16
Let's break something Be someone Stick around long enough to live it down Let's get together Let's have a look at you You know we've come along way together Been through so much Come out the other side We come out dirty We come out tired But we come out alive Gotta keep shouting Till I can hear my own voice Gotta keep moving Till I've got some other choice Gotta find a new way To make my own noise Let's live forever Never settle Ditch the plastic Test the metal Just give me something To believe Help the future let me be I've gone electric I've tried and tried Faded glory Tired eyes But we come out alive Gotta keep shouting Till I can hear my own voice Gotta keep moving Till I've got some other choice Gotta find a new way To make my own noise

Orion's Belt 03:53
Orion's Belt was shining Past the old leaves smiling Let's dream up the future Tuck the summer to bed Get out your wool coat, darling And we'll go out walking Out in the new light And we've been knocking on the door to heaven For oh so long I think it's our time We're gonna break it on down Take my hand, baby Look up in wonder At all the bright lights Shining down Get out your wool coat, darling And we'll go out walking Out in the new light And we've been knocking on the door to heaven For oh so long It's our time We're gonna break it on down It's our time now! Orion's Belt was shining Past the old leaves smiling Let's dream up the future

Dance 05:17
Try not to fight it off Try not to fall too hard this time Don't want to fall for love Or the easy rhyme But you can't help to give into it all But I know it never seems safe enough to throw All your trust in God only shines on the well adjusted But you're not fooling anyone You're hurt and your shy You're not all sex and hips That's the myth That's the lie You don't care for the war You'd rather just dance Don't follow anyone Be on your own Now that you've learned to run Where you gonna go? You need space to wander You need time to roll Don't need some sort of master plan Rather leave something to chance You're gonna ring from this world Some sort of last drop of romance I breathe the live ecstatic Live love in the light I'm gonna take I'm gonna have it I'm gonna take You don't care for the war You'd rather just dance
