THE GOOD TIMES
I am the architect, of my own design
I paint my dreams on the night sky
I won’t come down, I’m way too high
I live for the good times.
My heart and your heart
Beat as one, and can keep me young
My heart and your heart
Beat as one, and can keep us young
All the time, is good times
DILATED PUPILS
Idiots are optimistic, others fail to recognise
That happiness is in the lies, when they live with stars behind their eyes
And dilated pupils
Out of the ashes of the wreckage, a lone figure will emerge
We are lucky that he was not hurt, when he finally fell to earth
With dilated pupils
The alarm clock rings but it’s not morning, it’s too early to get to up
My heart is empty like a coffee cup, then I 'm hit by a truck
My Dilated pupils
CARE IN THE COMMUNITY
Chemicals affect my brain and tell me how to feel
They tell me when I’m in love and tell me when to kill
My sleep cycle needs regulating
I don’t dream no more
Cos when I’m wide awake I contemplate
What’s going on outdoors
Oh I wish I knew why I was here
I wish I knew why I live in fear
Oh I wish that I could grow some wings
And fly into the afterlife
I really need someone to care for me
When I’m in the community
Chemicals affect my brain and tell me how to feel
They tell me when I’m in love and tell me when to kill
My blood sugar needs monitoring, I’m really weak
I need a bed to rest my head, and a tongue so I can speak
BEAUTIFUL THING CALLED LIFE
When I look in the mirror I often wonder just who is the person that I see
It’s hard to remember that cold December when I fell through the ice and I could not breathe
So I found me a ladder and I started to ponder as I reached for the city in the sky
I was looking for questions to all of the answers that I had been given all of my life
I’m sinking, I’m lost at sea, I’m swimming against the tide, it’s a mystery
How we came to be staining side by side, in this beautiful thing called life
Oh what’s going on in my mind?
Oh what’s going on in my mind?
WORLD OF PAIN
Everything will disapear and everyone will fade
And all the people you know, turn to dust in days
Every corner you turn, is darker than the last
And every solider you see has forgotten how to laugh
So we're sinking in sea of fear, screaming out loud
But no one cares, they can't hear
This is a world of pain
Everything will fall apart and everyone will cry
And all the good in your heart will go when you die
Every photo you take is darker than your soul
And every church where you pray will fall by the waste side
SPIT
I need a drink to fall asleep another to start the day
My thoughts stretched out a million miles
Embrace that you are lucky
Man you're so fucking lucky!
I need a drink to gain some courage, can't find the words to say
So I jumped from a roof and landed
I guess I must be lucky
Yeah I'm so fucking lucky!
We ascend this mortal coil and touch the face of God
And spit into his face, and remember the long forgotten
I need a bag I'm feeling sick, my head's in bits again
I'm getting nauseous as you mumble
Embrace that you are lucky
Man you're so fucking lucky!
I need a smoke to calm my nerves, 3 more to keep me sane
When I pray I turn to dust
I guess I must be lucky
Yeah I'm so fucking lucky!
IF THERE'S A SHARK IN THIS FISHBOWL
I’ll swim in the water, well maybe they can smell your fear
I laugh in the face of danger, I look like a clown.
But I need no revolver, well maybe they just know I’m here
I’ll show them my smile!
If there is a shark in this fishbowl, I won’t mind at all
I’m more at ease, and it’s easier to breathe
Than in a crowded hall
And in a sea of eyes, well I’m despised
And I can’t breathe, with all these lies
I’m the head in your refrigerator, I’m the blood smeared on your walls
I’ll let your dreams be torn apart
To those who were brave enough, I’d offer up a kiss
Then my wings would not be torn
SWIMMING IN GLUE
I stretch open my arms a million miles
But I can never hold you
I worship the ground you walk on
But I can never follow suit
I tore open my chest to give you my heart
But you said you didn’t want it
I was lost at sea when you came to me
And told me you didn’t care
So now I’m swimming in glue
I can't move
Now I’m swimming in glue
I can't move
RAINBOWS
Chemicals treat us like we’re fools, so just say no
Just say no
Too much sugar rots the soul, rots the soul and fills us with holes
Great big holes
Remember that rainbows are mechanical
Built to please the animals
Sunshine is a state of mind
Found in yours not mine
The shows on TV are full of sleaze, so just don’t look
Don’t you look
The films they make are really fake, so read a book
Read a book
LET'S SEE WHAT 2MORO BRINGS
No one can see through the windows of my soul
Since they were shattered with a million stones
Outside lies my heart, so is that my home?
I hope it’s not, since my heart is cold
My mind is telling me how I should feel
I try to cry out, but I only squeal
I always try, yet I always fail
I’m hoping that I don’t end up in jail
So at death will I be given a pair of wings to fly?
Into the sky and become a king
Will I dance upon my throne and loudly sing
Let’s see what 2moro brings
Let’s see what 2moro brings
My mind is telling me how I should feel
I try to cry out, but I only squeal
I always try, yet I always fail
I’m hoping that I don’t end up in jail
Let’s see what 2moro brings
Let's See What 2moro Brings was created to be an “introduction to These Curious Thoughts” for music reviewers and record labels. Many of the songs on the album became the staples of TCT's live performances during that time and afterwards. The album promo video was designed to allow Jim and Sean to discuss the songs and give some background to their collaboration.
