A Hostage (Live at HI-FI)
Brazil
J'ai une ame solitaire Feels the same Can you not see it? Our lips are trailing poison The feeling will last forever The fighting is over Won without a sound Alone in a white room Alone with no one Exstacy Constancy Rapidly One, Two, Three And if I get the chance To lead one sheep astray I'll pull the rope with bleeding teeth There's something in his eyes An angel can't tell lies The war torn streets of Paradise How hard the code to break Depends on what's at stake Perpetual state of measure

Crime & the Antique Solution (Live at HI-FI)
Brazil
Time delay Synchronicity Is all in disarray From another tear under my duvet It's antique and smells like Chantilly The other day it took me far away When we were young and so risque You said to stay but I disobeyed Now I've erased the mistake! Is it called a crime if I play with time? All the shame it brings, it changes everything! Long ago Someone that I know Took all the torment I could throw How would I know I couldn't let it go Without a dose of a-d-o And although it's been a year or so I think I will never outgrow I'm laying low, so in reverse I go Because she's the one that I owe Is it called a crime if I play with time? All the shame it brings, it changes everything! (x2) I have gone awry Trying to defy the laws of time where they apply And so I sigh that I am high and dry It really took me by surprise It caught my eye, I had to say good-bye It seems I've lost my paradigm And I could die, because I don't know why But I forget the name I go by Is it called a crime if I play with time? All the shame it brings, it changes everything! (x2) I'm fading away (I'm fading away)....

The Novemberist (Live at HI-FI)
Brazil
I dream of airplanes crashing Solemn beginnings daily Everyday I grow old And am born again Bath in light that starts to darken when I emerge I dream of airplanes crashing Solemn beginnings daily Dissolution is change I see tongues of fire upon our heads Turn off the lights to see the next room The constant Save a match for me Run with me into the flames Save a match for me Play the game with me tonight Will november lose its meaning When your fingers lose their feeling? Today make it shatter like glass Today makes tomorrow unbecoming November is what can change me

Escape (Live at HI-FI)
Brazil
Awake Dreaming Solemn revery Too lost Secret Link in a broken chain Eyes are open Only they don't see Colour, shape, and terminal velocity Run away when I feel danger Danger hides in every stranger Stranger things haves happened So I feel like being stranger, laughing All is lost And all is lost on me Lorazepam Says it will set me free No cold No heat Feeling has passed through me Give me one thing Escape is all I need Breathing down my neck you see Is someone else's destiny It makes no difference to pretend So give me all my garmonbozia Pain and suffering The right make a world of your own Escape overrides it all

Candles Cast Long Shadows (Live at HI-FI)
Brazil
Hey, they say you died in your sleep From a poison vapour leak In 1917 You were only 23 And the time I saw you last Was in a piece of broken glass When you moved across the room And I smelled your cheap perfume Late, the candles cast long shadows No matter where you are Shiver! In the apartment where I live And the death that you relive Is too close to my bed And it replays in my head You are the ghost in the machine You are the ghost in my routine And I find you quite obscene 'Cause the way that you make me fiend Late, the candles cast long shadows No matter where you are The candles cast long shadows I, I don't know what to do 'Cause your body, I see through Though I could not see your face Though I saw your breath on the mirror And there's one thing that you should know That's that I fell for you long ago And everything that I do It begins and ends with you Late, the candles cast long shadows No matter where you are The candles cast long shadows Adelaide? (There's no one there)

Io (Live at HI-FI)
Brazil
one wore white the other dressed in red one invincible the other fell down and bled one to touch your face the other to wipe the sweat one to know your name and the other not just yet one day calm broke the silence and I heard my voive in the audience and it said, "look at my face." one day calm broke the silence I wear my nerves on the outside and hide them under my... there's no one out there, I know her eyes were gleaming in Io and I'm still breathing on my own but thoughts are leaving one by one one stood by while the other came and went the other flew away so she woudn't fall out again one to let you know the other to make you wait worlds across the fence and they're traveled every day.

Zentropa (Live at HI-FI)
Brazil
Run run away And don't remain Running on the data track And don't look back Surprise attack Conscience tells me I am right Burning lungs, suffocate Scream with every breath I take Wondering, 1-2-3 Will I ever see my... Run away, run so far away The monolith stands in a darkening shadow If I should die before I wake Never see the shores With foreign waves Memory fades to black Under crushing marble slab cool me off Rinse me clean Let me please come with you Porcelain ivory Look at you now look at me Run away, run so far away The monolith is beckoning every day Close my eyes and set me free
2:56
Fall Into (Live at HI-FI)
Brazil
On time for me Is too late for you Their plastic gaze Would melt for you My passive face Keeps me away Cold, stark, and pale Our sobriquet Sending a wire transmission Falling into submission Are you real or are you a vain imagination It's not for nothing It's not for nothing I tell myself
5:36
The Iconoclast (Live at HI-FI)
Brazil
Your sky falls forever A black heart endeavor The game of laissez-faire Aces in the air Your eyes stare forever In the cold dry hereafter Hiding an affair I swore was never there It's over and under and over and under In the city that never sleeps You're the creature that never wakes I thought you were someone else Scent of attraction Lean in to listen "Resurrect the dead on Jupiter" she said Time's game is wasting Worldwide lambasting A billion miles away A deadly bird of prey Flies over and under and over Force fed everytime My tongue everytime Why are the words nonsense?
6:08
Metropol (Live at HI-FI)
Brazil
Take a breath Random streaks of light prevade The petrol perfume that I breathe Air Taken at the witching hour Missle launch and fuselage Rivets from a row of eyes Factory glass state of mind Glare Thus machine begets machine 1 is 10 is 423 Affectionate utility The death of time Replaces the need For age I think I tried to steal a kiss Amind hollow shriek and hiss Building's blacker then the sea The sky a wash of acid pain's Gray The air is thick and oil slick The architecture breathes anf its breath Soon I'll not want to go away Black and silver Soot stained eyes see fire and steel How can I tell if it's for real? I think sometimes today I'll rescue you away Andromeda can wait Je suis desole Nirvana encoded in concrete Follow your gray sillhouette

The Vapours (Live at HI-FI)
Brazil
My head is floating like a rock in a riverbed Today, the Vapours came and took my mind away, like an angel. I look in the mirror and say "Does anyone ever feel like I do? Does anybody ever feel this way? I never know how to explain it to you I still wonder if it's all inside my head?" My hands are aching like they're wrapped around a gun Today, the Vapours put a rope around my tongue And now my hands write down on paper what I say "Does anyone ever feel like I do? Does anybody ever feel this way? I never know how to explain it to you I still wonder if it's all inside my head?" ...I can never seem to some the same familiar beating drum... My head is floating like a rock in a riverbed Today, the Vapours came and took my mind away, like an angel I look in the mirror "Does anyone ever feel like I do? Does anybody ever feel this way? I never know how to explain it to you I still wonder if it's all inside my head?" [x2] ...I can never seem to some the same familiar beating drum...

We (Live at HI-FI)
Brazil
Automation is a subtractive process Do you remember it? We had a data date You tried to turn it back Now you're a bit too late Stand in the light again Open your mouth speak Give me a sign of life Touch me Make peace with your right brain Sense of security Logic cuts pure and deep Logic all you need A line dividing us Cold stark reality In logic you will find transformation We have all the strengths of genius And all the signs of weakness You'd better go on believing Interface cannot come between Deep down I believe I'll always be powerless
4:16
Breathe (Live at HI-FI)
Brazil
Breathe in breathe out your contradictions Breathe in breathe out your words of fiction "Breathe in breathe out," you say, "but not on my time." Says I, "Good bye to Grace." Breathe in breathe out your pale addiction Breathe in breathe out without conviction "Breathe in breathe out," you say, "but not on my time." Says I, "Goodbye to Grace." Says the look on my face Says I, "Goodbye to Grace, but not on my time." Says I, "Goodbye to Grace." We may never be something better We may be down but we're not afraid We may never be something better We may be down but we're not afraid Breathe in breathe out without permission Breathe in breathe out your final mission "Breathe in breathe out," you say, "but not on my time." Says I, "Goodbye to Grace." Says I, "Goodbye to Grace." Says I, "Goodbye to Grace." Says I, "Goodbye to Grace." Say goodbye to Grace. Say goodbye to Grace. Say goodbye to Grace. Say goodbye to Grace. Your breath is clouding the window. Say goodbye to Grace. Say goodbye to Grace. Say goodbye to Grace. Say goodbye to Grace.

Aventine (Live at HI-FI)
Brazil
Watch me and stay close beside So helplessly waiting close my eyes And hold me now because it's after me Just waiting for my last breath Vague distant holes in my memory The nightside I'm drifting so far away The words that I'm speaking come haltingly The air that I'm breathing taste sulfuric Deep inside me Deep inside my fortress Feeling is lost with my memory I'll work my way back to what it means It's far to late to trace my steps back again The thoughts petrifying me because The spider man is after me Fading hoping of familiar recognition I built a castle made of arms cross and breathless Watch me turn things around Turn them on their head This nightside where I'm drifting This place is a lie I'm believing To live with myself To ease the strain Release the brain It's all I want Bleeding the vein
4:47
You Never Know (Live at HI-FI)
Brazil
Yesterday morning upon my waking Inside my pocket, I found a calling card It said in cursive "Meta-detective" And had a number I didn't recognize It rang all morning and in the evening I heard an answer. It sounded like a sigh. It was a woman on the receiver (she was a breather) I said i'd see her because you never know She said she'd meet me under the marquee Of a theater that was abandoned She ran up to me and leaned in closely Whispering softly, she told me how I would die She spoke in cipher and coy conundrums Her hair was like lightning and smelled like thunder Ending our rendez-vous, she said "Rappelez-vous?" And with a pirouette, she disappeared and I said, "You never know" I'll let you be my eyes if we fly I'll let you be my eyes because I'm blind The rain flies into out mouths while our heads fly into the clouds
