All the paper Gods in the sky of gray
All the fools in town are ruling today, today
Bow to the paper Gods in a world that is paper thin
The fools in town are ruling now
Bleeding from paper cuts, money for head shots
Fools leading (today)
Who needs it?
Hey girl, want it all the talking men declares
Go running to be first in line for what? Nobody cares
The next thing you must have, find peace with matching bag
It's nothing to be glad about, or sad when you forget about it
And while the race is on, the rats will run the streets
The slaver in a sweatshop, putting trainers on your feet
I'm walking through the rain, oblivious to pain
To shelter from the blame without a reason to complain about it
Oh, oh, oh, don't complain about it
Oh, oh, oh, don't complain about it
Oh, oh, oh, forget about it
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Bow to the paper Gods in a world that is paper thin
The fools in town are ruling now (All the fools in town)
Bleeding from paper cuts, money for head shots
Fools leading (today)
Who needs it?
She's staring out in underwear, from your computer screen
It's all on sale for dirty cash, we can wash it clean
So hang it out online, confess and you'll feel fine
And if you got the time to spare we want to know
Which name you're wearing
And when the final curtain finally comes down
We'll all be in the party room, no wiser as to how
The total human race became a basket case
It's nothing to lose face about it
It's really not a place to doubt it
Bow to the paper Gods in a world that is paper thin
The fools in town are ruling now
Bleeding from paper cuts, money for head shots
Fools leading (today)
Who needs it?
Paper Gods falling down
Paper house, paper town
Paper Gods falling down
Paper world just falling down
Paper Gods falling down
Paper house, paper town
Paper Gods falling down
Paper world just falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Bow to the paper Gods in a world that is paper thin
The fools in town are ruling now
Bleeding from paper cuts, they go for the money shots
The fools leading (today)
Who needs them?
All the paper Gods in the sky of gray
All the fools in town are ruling today, today

Last Night In The City
[Kiesza:]
I'm not gonna sleep tonight
Till the morning fills the sky
No one's getting left behind
This is our time
This is our time!
We're gonna live this night, ye-yeah
Live it like it's our last night
Cause nobody cares
If there's no tomorrow
I'm not thinking 'bout the future
It's somewhere out there
We're all busy being human
We remember
Hearts' spinning all around on me (together)
Now they're surrounding me
This is how we get connected
Running out the shadows into light!
We're gonna love this night, ye-yeah
Loving like it's our last night
Stars up in the air, ye-yeah
It's our last night in the city!
I've been traveling around now
Big world with my brothers
Always moving to a new town
No time to put the roofs down
We can't stop believing (can't stop)
Now we believe in you
Cause when you're standing in the spotlights
The only thing that matters is tonight!!
We're gonna live this night, ye-yeah
Live it like it's our last night
Cause nobody cares
If there's no tomorrow
We're gonna love this night, ye-yeah
Loving like it's our last night
Stars up in the air, ye-yeah
It's our last night in the city!
Ye-yeah
Last night in the city

If there's no tomorrow
We're gonna love this night, ye-yeah
Loving like it's our last night

You Kill Me With Silence
You're thin ice, I should be on solid ground
And oh, so quiet vice, I can hear the cracking sound
But I remain despite your deadly aim,
To drive another lad insane
when you won't speak my name
You kill me with silence
that's your style, girl
You're letting me know
this deafening silence
The only reason that you're in control
you're in control
It's emotional violence,
I can't breathe now,
but I can't let go
You kill me with silence
silence...
silence...
Truth or lies,
things are hoting up in here
If I had a knife,
you could cut the atmosphere
Something else,
I like this bed of nails
That's what I tell myself,
couldn't be much worse in hell
You kill me with silence
that's your style, girl
You're letting me know
this deafening silence
The only reason that you're in control
you're in control
It's emotional violence,
I can't breathe now, but I can't let go
You kill me with silence
silence...
You kill me with silence
Kill me with silence
And oh, so quiet vice, I can hear the cracking sound
But I remain despite your deadly aim,
To drive another lad insane
when you won't speak my name
You kill me with silence
that's your style, girl
You're letting me know
this deafening silence
The only reason that you're in control
you're in control
It's emotional violence,
I can't breathe now,
but I can't let go
You kill me with silence

[Duran Duran:]
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Pressure off, pressure off, pressure pressure pressure off
[Duran Duran:]
Past is another country
The present will never last
The future, it's still tomorrow
Are we living too fast?
[Duran Duran:]
Searchlight the crowd, I'm fixed on your face
I know it well, but it's a dream I can't place
Something is happening to me
Maybe it's happening to you, you, you, you
[Duran Duran & Janelle Monáe:]
Everybody everywhere, feel it in the air
Oh yeah, it's time to take the pressure off
Everybody everywhere, step out into the future

I'm lost, don't wanna be found
I'm up and not gonna be down
Outside looking in on myself
Just me, I couldn't be anyone else
Is it bad when you're feeling this good?
Are we all misunderstood?
It's fine, going out of my mind
Going out of my mind, going out of my mind
[Janelle Monáe:]
Everybody everywhere (yeah), feel it in the air (whoo!)

Around you go

Get on the floor, what you gonna do?
I'm in the system, I'm trying to get to you
We've both waited for so long
Nothing can stop us, come on this is our song
Look around (look around)
And forget the crown (forget the crown)
Take my hand (take my hand)

You don't dance, danceophobia (danceophobia)

You don't dance, dance enough

You're in the car, we go and turn
Turn up the volume; am I getting through to you?
Open the window, see what you got
I'm on the speakers, it's time to hit the...
Look around (look around)

Can you hear me?
If you can hear me let me know
I am your doctor
You may be experiencing feelings of confusion
Don't be afraid, I've seen these symptoms before
10-20 new cases each week
We call this condition, danceophobia
I'm going to bring you in for observation
I'll have to work on you tonight
We have to trust each other
And together, I think we can lead this thing off
When the music ends
I know what it is coming over you (coming over you)

What Are The Chances?
Any other day and you might have gone walking by
Without a second look
Any other way but I'm still mystified
I'm just trying to change my luck
Staring out the world and waiting for the one
But the world won't look away
The world does not explain
So, what are the chances?
We'll never know
If we take it for granted
A diamond explodes
What are the chances?
Playing with your life or is it destiny
Which sets you on a path
Is it out of tries that you're here next to me
Or just the aftermath
Of moments as they pass
So, what are the chances?
We'll never know
If we take it for granted
A diamond explodes
What are the chances?
We are lost in the flow
And looking for answers
So, what are the chances?
We'll never know
If we take it for granted
A diamond explodes
What are the chances?
We are lost in the flow
And looking for answers
Without a second look
Any other way but I'm still mystified
I'm just trying to change my luck
Staring out the world and waiting for the one
But the world won't look away
The world does not explain
So, what are the chances?
We'll never know
If we take it for granted
A diamond explodes
What are the chances?
Playing with your life or is it destiny

Sunset Garage
So halfway drunk
You'd never feel
With your big eye punk
Fashion fingernails
Something cooking
When you play guitar
What a stake we're in
How did we get so far?
Whatever happens, we're okay
Hey, we're still alive
To watch a sunset garage day
Head into the light
Oh, oh with that all goes wrong
We're gonna make it on our own
I promise us a garage day, oh
See how the town comes out
Like a bruise
When the wheels go round
We can do anything
Nobody looking
And then 6 more come
Maybe later, later
Could take it up from here
Whatever happens, we're okay
Hey, we're still alive
To watch a sunset garage day
Head into the light
Oh, oh with that all goes wrong
We're gonna make it on our own
Oh, oh, if they bring us down
We're gonna break out of this town
Into a sunset garage day, oh
Yesterday looks so dead, so far away
From this point of disarray
Waiting for a sun burn into frame
It's so fine, about the high water life
Shifting with the paradise
Drifting as the drain move into flame
Oh, oh with that all goes wrong
We're gonna make it on our own
Oh, oh, if it all goes wrong
We're gonna make it on our own
It's a sunset garage day, oh yeah!
It's a sunset garage day, oh yeah, yeah
It's a sunset garage day, yeah, yeah, yeah
You'd never feel
With your big eye punk
Fashion fingernails
Something cooking
When you play guitar

Change The Skyline
This is where it starts
Standing on the roof up here
Saying goodbye to darkness
Now I can see the big idea
Cities East and West
You won't miss me when I'm gone
The only thing that's left
Is the feeling that I'm moving on
So you walk the line
But something inside you says no way
Are we losing time?
Cuz I waited long enough
I can change the skyline
Out of range but in time
Time to change the skyline
I see far horizons
An empire in a day
Built on hope and burnt by the sun
But I'm happy to watch it fade
When I can raise it up again
You're opening my eyes
Maybe it's not impossible
And don't you think it's time?
Cuz I waited long enough
I can change the skyline
Out of range but in time
Time to change the skyline
I see far horizons
I can change the skyline
Out of range but in time
Time to change the skyline
Icy far horizons
Standing on the roof up here
Saying goodbye to darkness
Now I can see the big idea
Cities East and West
You won't miss me when I'm gone
The only thing that's left
Is the feeling that I'm moving on
So you walk the line
But something inside you says no way
Are we losing time?
Cuz I waited long enough
I can change the skyline
Out of range but in time
Time to change the skyline
I see far horizons
An empire in a day
Built on hope and burnt by the sun
But I'm happy to watch it fade
When I can raise it up again
You're opening my eyes
Maybe it's not impossible
And don't you think it's time?
Cuz I waited long enough
I can change the skyline
Out of range but in time
Time to change the skyline
I see far horizons
I can change the skyline
Out of range but in time
Time to change the skyline
Icy far horizons

Butterfly Girl
By the look on your face you've been awake all night
It started raining the early light
You're fooling the mirror but you don't fool me
Adrift in your own sympathy
Can't stand falling apart, don't stay too long in the dark
Alone deep in the dark of your devotion
Let go of the love that he stole, let go y'got to let go
To get back in control of your emotion
You can make it through tomorrow
Set free your butterfly girl
And when you rise above the sorrow
You'll be a butterfly girl
Now you're drunk in the dream of your life as dirt
It might last forever, and that really hurts
And I still hope you're gonna realize
There's only one kind of happy in that glass of wine
Can't stand falling apart, don't stay too long in the dark
Alone deep in the dark of your devotion
Let go of the love that he stole, let go y'got to let go
To get back in control of your emotion
That's you falling apart, for so long in the dark
So long deep in the heart of your devotion
Let go the love that he stole, let go y'got to let go
To get back in control of your emotion
You can make it through tomorrow
Set free your butterfly girl
And when you rise above the sorrow
You'll be a butterfly girl
You can fly, yeah, yeah
Set free your butterfly girl
You'll go high, yeah, yeah
You'll be a butterfly girl
Set free your butterfly girl
Set free your butterfly girl
It started raining the early light
You're fooling the mirror but you don't fool me
Adrift in your own sympathy
Can't stand falling apart, don't stay too long in the dark
Alone deep in the dark of your devotion
Let go of the love that he stole, let go y'got to let go
To get back in control of your emotion
You can make it through tomorrow
Set free your butterfly girl
And when you rise above the sorrow
You'll be a butterfly girl
Now you're drunk in the dream of your life as dirt
It might last forever, and that really hurts
And I still hope you're gonna realize
There's only one kind of happy in that glass of wine
Can't stand falling apart, don't stay too long in the dark
Alone deep in the dark of your devotion
Let go of the love that he stole, let go y'got to let go
To get back in control of your emotion
That's you falling apart, for so long in the dark
So long deep in the heart of your devotion
Let go the love that he stole, let go y'got to let go
To get back in control of your emotion
You can make it through tomorrow
Set free your butterfly girl
And when you rise above the sorrow
You'll be a butterfly girl
You can fly, yeah, yeah
Set free your butterfly girl
You'll go high, yeah, yeah
You'll be a butterfly girl

Only In Dreams
Only in dreams girl am I part of your world
My heart it screams or so it seems
Only in dreams
Only in my - in my dreams - only in my dreams
Only in my - in my dreams - only in my dreams
Only in dreams girl where my crime goes unheard
What does it mean to fly the scene?
Only in dreams girl
There's a vampire in the limousine
Sun's going down like a symphony
She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet
I don't want to wake up
Only in dreams I'm in dopamine time
It's in my genes, it get's extreme
Only in dreams
How did I dream you?
You're the queen of steel dunes
Look what you done - my colors run
When ever you come to
There's a vampire in the limousine
Sun's going down like a symphony
She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet
I don't want to wake up
Only in my - in my dreams - only in my dreams
There's a vampire in the limousine
Sun's going down like a symphony
She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet
I don't want to wake up
On the rooftop we can feel the drop
She bathes in the moon while the shadows watch
I should be nervous but my eyes forget
I don't want to wake up
I'm not gonna wake up
I don't want to wake up
Only in my - in my dreams - only in my dreams
Don't want to wake up
Only in my - in my dreams - only in my dreams
Don't want to wake up
... dreams
My heart it screams or so it seems
Only in dreams
Only in my - in my dreams - only in my dreams
Only in my - in my dreams - only in my dreams
Only in dreams girl where my crime goes unheard
What does it mean to fly the scene?
Only in dreams girl
There's a vampire in the limousine
Sun's going down like a symphony
She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet
I don't want to wake up
Only in dreams I'm in dopamine time
It's in my genes, it get's extreme
Only in dreams
How did I dream you?
You're the queen of steel dunes
Look what you done - my colors run
When ever you come to
There's a vampire in the limousine
Sun's going down like a symphony
She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet
I don't want to wake up
Only in my - in my dreams - only in my dreams
There's a vampire in the limousine
Sun's going down like a symphony
She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet
I don't want to wake up

I'm not gonna wake up
I don't want to wake up
Only in my - in my dreams - only in my dreams
Don't want to wake up
Only in my - in my dreams - only in my dreams
Don't want to wake up

The Universe Alone
It's beautiful, the dying sun
The end of everything and everyone
So shall we make a clan my friend
As if we have the chance to live it all again
I'll see you in some other lifetime
On the other side of what we'll never know
Together we have walked a fine line
Now we go to face the universe alone
In plain view, the mistakes we've made
But is there anything you'd really want to change?
To win and lose then win again
To have it all then throw it all away
I'll see you in some other lifetime
On the other side of what we'll never know
Together we have walked a fine line
Now we go to face the universe alone
How beautiful the closing down
The fading out, it spins and goes around
With darkness and the heart of man
And here we are back where it all began
I'll see you in some other lifetime
The universe alone
The universe alone
The universe alone
The end of everything and everyone
So shall we make a clan my friend
As if we have the chance to live it all again
I'll see you in some other lifetime
On the other side of what we'll never know
Together we have walked a fine line
Now we go to face the universe alone
In plain view, the mistakes we've made
But is there anything you'd really want to change?
To win and lose then win again
To have it all then throw it all away
I'll see you in some other lifetime
On the other side of what we'll never know
Together we have walked a fine line
Now we go to face the universe alone
How beautiful the closing down
The fading out, it spins and goes around
With darkness and the heart of man
And here we are back where it all began
I'll see you in some other lifetime
The universe alone
The universe alone
The universe alone

Planet Roaring
Look where we are
We've travelled so far
To gather here
And sum up the year
Across the fields
The lights turn on
And still they come
To hear the drum
The drum, the drum
Friends we come here calling
Can you hear the planet roaring?
Now the stars are falling
We'll be singing to the morning
This burning sky
This burning man
Will fire up the night
We'll light up the land
At liberty
The world to see
We carry on
We are the song
The song, the song
Friends we come here calling
Can you hear the planet roaring?
Now the stars are falling
We'll be singing to the morning
The things we do to be together
Things we take to feel together
Everything is coming up for you
Everybody do what you wanna do
It's the sound of celebration
The things we do to be together
Things we take to feel together
Everything is coming up for you
Everybody do what you wanna do
It's the sound of celebration
We've travelled so far
To gather here
And sum up the year
Across the fields
The lights turn on
And still they come
To hear the drum
The drum, the drum
Friends we come here calling
Can you hear the planet roaring?
Now the stars are falling
We'll be singing to the morning
This burning sky
This burning man
Will fire up the night
We'll light up the land
At liberty
The world to see
We carry on
We are the song
The song, the song
Friends we come here calling
Can you hear the planet roaring?
Now the stars are falling
We'll be singing to the morning
The things we do to be together
Things we take to feel together
Everything is coming up for you
Everybody do what you wanna do
It's the sound of celebration
The things we do to be together
Things we take to feel together
Everything is coming up for you
Everybody do what you wanna do
It's the sound of celebration

Valentine Stones
Down here with the strays and the damaged
All stood in a line
This recovery so they tell me is one day at a time
And you think you can help me maybe
You can turn on your heels and save me
But I don't want to be like the boys that you keep in tow
Like your valentine stones, stones, stones
Your valentine stones
All roads lead from my resurrection to your sympathy
An empty spaces which spoils your collection
That was meant for me
And you say you can help me maybe
You can turn on your charms to save me
But I don't want to be just a toy that you keep at home
Like your valentine stones, stones, stones
Your valentine stones
Lost souls diamonds and gold
Gone cold valentine stones
Lost souls diamonds and gold
Grown cold valentine stones
And you think you can help me maybe
You can turn on your heels and save me
But I don't want to be like the boys that you keep in tow
Like your valentine stones
- souls diamonds and gold
Gone cold valentine stones
Lost souls diamonds and gold
Grown cold valentine stones
Oh, oh, oh diamonds and gold
Oh, oh, oh valentine stones
All stood in a line
This recovery so they tell me is one day at a time
And you think you can help me maybe
You can turn on your heels and save me
But I don't want to be like the boys that you keep in tow
Like your valentine stones, stones, stones
Your valentine stones
All roads lead from my resurrection to your sympathy
An empty spaces which spoils your collection
That was meant for me
And you say you can help me maybe
You can turn on your charms to save me
But I don't want to be just a toy that you keep at home
Like your valentine stones, stones, stones
Your valentine stones
Lost souls diamonds and gold
Gone cold valentine stones
Lost souls diamonds and gold
Grown cold valentine stones
And you think you can help me maybe
You can turn on your heels and save me
But I don't want to be like the boys that you keep in tow
Like your valentine stones
- souls diamonds and gold
Gone cold valentine stones
Lost souls diamonds and gold
Grown cold valentine stones
Oh, oh, oh diamonds and gold
Oh, oh, oh valentine stones

Northern Lights
Looking up from the polar sheet
Out in the stars there's one I want to meet
I am a signal somewhere in your bliss
So do you hear, do you hear my wish?
You coming down now... from there?
You coming round now... to share?
You got a thing that...
I care, I care about, I care about
If you want to stay tonight
Write your name across the sky
Nothing I would rather like
Than see you in the Northern lights
Up on the roof I listen for the moan
Of your soft footstep on the snow
Now and then somebody else's glow
As they tune in to watch the show
You coming down now... from there?
You coming round now... to share?
You got a thing that...
I care, I care about, I care about
If you want to stay tonight
Write your name across the sky
Nothing I would rather like
Than see you in the Northern lights
If you want to play the night
We could take an evening flight
Shine out from a higher height
Then we'll be in the Northern lights
If you want to stay tonight
Write your name across the sky
Nothing I would rather like
Than see you in the Northern lights
If you want to play the night
We could take an evening flight
Shine out from a higher height
Then we'll be in the Northern lights
Write your name across the sky
Write your, write your name
Write your name across the sky
Out in the stars there's one I want to meet
I am a signal somewhere in your bliss
So do you hear, do you hear my wish?
You coming down now... from there?
You coming round now... to share?
You got a thing that...
I care, I care about, I care about
If you want to stay tonight
Write your name across the sky
Nothing I would rather like
Than see you in the Northern lights
Up on the roof I listen for the moan
Of your soft footstep on the snow
Now and then somebody else's glow
As they tune in to watch the show
You coming down now... from there?
You coming round now... to share?
You got a thing that...
I care, I care about, I care about
If you want to stay tonight
Write your name across the sky
Nothing I would rather like
Than see you in the Northern lights
If you want to play the night
We could take an evening flight
Shine out from a higher height
Then we'll be in the Northern lights
If you want to stay tonight
Write your name across the sky
Nothing I would rather like
Than see you in the Northern lights
If you want to play the night
We could take an evening flight
Shine out from a higher height
Then we'll be in the Northern lights
Write your name across the sky
Write your, write your name
Write your name across the sky
