Let me be your pilot / Don't look down and buckle up Simple's never easy / Quick is never fast enough Push it to the edge, Push it to the edge, Push it to the edge Push it to the edge, Push it to the edge now You gotta beat the edge if you wanna be the best Gotta face the edge, see the edge, Know the edge and be the edge. Gotta lose control if you wanna find yourself tonite Hear the edge a-calling / A hero gotta heed it right Feel the afterburners / Heat is high and so am I Supersonic lovers, baby we can fly and fly (so high in the sky). Push it to the edge, Push it to the edge, Push it to the edge Standing on the edge, Walking on the edge, Dancing on the edge You gotta beat the edge if you wanna be the best Gotta drink the edge, eat the edge, Live the edge and breathe the edge. We'll live at the limit and marry the stars If the edge is behind you, you've pushed it too far We'll crash into glory and burn up in style Just like the Yonder, you're blue and you're wild. Push it to the edge, Push it to the edge, Push it to the edge Take it to the edge, Look over the edge, Throw it off the edge You'll never be the best if you can't defeat the edge Gotta want the edge, need the edge, Meet the edge and greet the edge. Kiss the edge, kick the edge, Smell the edge and lick the edge. Use the edge, abuse the edge, Salute and then seduce the edge, yeah.

You're reminiscent of a child / What child? An enchanting child / Mm-hmm A child of witchcraft / Which craft? / Witchcraft / Oh Bewitching little child. I love babies / They're such good company A great sense of humour and resilient too. They drive me crazy / So bring me babies Fresh, funky little playthings I can teach some moves. What can I do to put a spell on you? Tricks or treats? / Puppies or sweets? Just need a baby, any baby will do And what I want one for is hazy at best. I'd just do what he says. Prance goblin, prance / Prance goblin, prance Can't walk yet but girl you sure can dance. Dance goblin, dance / So dance goblin, dance Dance goblin, dance / Just dance goblin, dance Kidnap children, make 'em cry / Leave those babies traumatized. Don't cry baby / I know your new home's unsanitary There's rust and chickens everywhere, but don't be scared. Sweet pre-school mama / Kick off those booties then just Eat another amnesia peach, forget your cares. What do I use to beat the baby blues? Hocus pocus / Rattles or rusks? And now you got no parents, now you got no rules Stay up and prance your tears away. Although it's getting late. Prance goblin, prance / Prance goblin, prance How can you know until you give it a chance? Dance goblin, dance / Dance goblin, dance Ask no questions, hear no lies / You're my sister, daughter and my wife. You're reminiscent of a child / What child? An enchanting child / Mm-hmm A child of witchcraft / Which craft? / Witchcraft / Oh Bewitching little child. A bewitching little child? / A voodoo baby. A necromantic rugrat? / An occult tot. You just remind me of the child / What child? The one we abducted. Move goblin, move / Groove goblin, groove Warm that bottle, feed that girl / Change that nappy, rock that world Jive goblin, jive / Thrive goblin, thrive Stop that bawling, flip that frown / Don't grow up, just get down. Prance goblin, prance / Prance goblin, prance If you can crawl you sure as hell can dance. Prance goblin, prance / Prance goblin, prance You can dance on the ceiling, you can climb the walls Just don't touch my crystal balls.

I'm cruising wormholes in a tricked-out van Slip her into overdrive I like it frictionless, I like it hot I like it at the speed of light. Capacitor's fluxing with all of its might Hold on tight, tonite's the nite that lightning strikes twice Cos I'm a Time Travel Man / Time Travel Man Travel through time like no other man can If you're a time travel woman then jump on board Don't care if you're Neanderthal or cyborg. You know my leaps are quantum and my time is cheap Still no sign of slowing down From pirate to cowboy to sex machine It's the power of love that makes my wheels go round. Cos I'm a Time Travel Man / Time Travel Man Travel through time like a loverman can You wanna time travel woman, just stick out your thumb Baby you're plutonium. We can fight Shakespeare or bother Oscar Wilde Eat a triceratops or burp the Christchild Rehydrate a pizza, get sweet hoverboards Then a quick spin round the Holocaust. Time Travel Man / Time Travel Man Playing Johnny B Good with a vanishing hand Don't wanna be see-through or my own grandson Gotta get my dad to kiss my mum. Time Travel Man / I'm a Time Travel Man It burns where I blast off, it hurts when I land You wanna time travel woman, well stick out your thumb And join the Party-Time Continuum.

Child of the ruins / Weaned in a wasteland Aftermath babies / The nephews of rust. Mohawks and kneepads / A dreamcatcher nightmare We die on a shoestring and live on a bus. We just need a bit of petrol And our pedals to the metal And some water, food and shelter / Would be nice So pray for a phoenix / To drive us to safety The highway is hope / The tarmac is time. A Mechamessiah / Jumps up from the rubble A fingerless glove and the sun in his eyes. Just one fingerless glove and the sun in both eyes. We just need a bit of petrol And some less outlandish hairstyles And a much less spiky vehicle / Would be ace The day has to come When the rat race is won The deaf can see / and the lost can be found. There must come a time When the hungry can dine When a people can join hands and stand up without lying doooooooooown. It's not easy being feral Truth be told it's really dreadful Really, really, really dreadful / To be frank We just need a bit of petrol But the potholes here are lethal So careful not to crack your axle / Battledrome. [Vocal stylings to close]

Drank your eggs / Thumped some beef Grabbed a shower and now you're angry. Chopped some logs / Had a jog If you feel like death then you're alive. Winners win / Losers don't You must box to determine the best boxer. You must strive / You must survive To compete in that boxing match, yeah. Can you kick like a panther and succeed like an ape Can you sting like a bee, wasp or hornet? Now you're built like a tractor; in immaculate shape You can win a big belt if you fight like a liger. Head to head / Eye to eye Neck and neck and man-to-mano Dog eat dog / Drawn like moths To the flame that could turn their hearts to ice. Can you strike like a bison? Can you float like a ghost? Are you sure you can trounce your opponent? It's really important that you hit him the most When you fight you must fight like a big liger. Bell goes ding / Do one thing; Make a fist and punch him with it Punch his face / Punch his face Before he punches you in yours. If you win at the boxing you'll feel masses of pride Just keep your goals in your sights. Don't know much about boxing, but you'll know what you like When you look at the man with your eyes.

From the page to the multiplex Then in all good retail outlets No, not just movies but merchandise; Board games, plushies and playsets. Reasonably safe for the 12s and up / May contain small parts Choking hazards for everyone / From Hong Kong to our hearts.

Skyfalls 03:31
The noise of smoke / The taste of deception The deadly threat that you mustn't fear The hands that punch / The voice at the window His are the eyes / That ring in your ears You know his name, though you've never heard it Though you can't see, you remember his face You've touched his mind, heard the sound of his shadow, Felt the heat of his golden embrace. Sky fall / or not at all Sometimes that's all / it takes to fall Sky fall / and I'm appalled God help us all / if this guy falls The world's too small for someone this massive Enough's enough is never enough Nobody wants to be lonely or murdered But no one dies from fighting too much. Revenge is a dish best served frozen With a warm knife / on a plate that is hot Your neck or legs or your heart may be broken If the sky falls, this spy's all we've got. He fights like a lion and loves like a man Smokes like a panther, as only he can Eats like a duke in the legends of old He strikes while the iron is gold. Sky fall What's at the heart of it all? You'll be enthralled Who was it who started it all? Too close to call D'you have a heart at all? Once and for all Was it me? Or was it James Bond? Firewall Though his fuse is short he walks tall He's on the ball His fist's big, his pity is small He fights in brawls Like a load bearing wall And free-for-alls.

Buddies 02:12
We're buddies it's true Nothing I wouldn't do for you Partners in crime, thick as thieves Kindred spirits, one pod, two peas You gonna see you can depend on me Cos we're buddies. And we're buddies for life I'm in your corner and I'm by your side Alter ego, amigo, pal Your confidant and your right hand man If I can't be your friend, then no one can You're my buddy. Every evening I walk you home, You don't even need to know I'm there. Late at night, it's me who calls your phone just making sure you know I care. Blood brothers, through thick and thin It may sound strange, but not to us I'm just parked outside, going through your bins Or up a tree with some binoculars. A friend you never will forget And though you haven't met me yet Ain't going nowhere, we're stuck like glue I see your good times, tough times too I keep a watchful eye on your every move Just never, ever cross me and I always will be true I'd crawl through glass, gladly die or kill for you Cos we're buddies.

If there's hovering kids / In your diocese Who can assist? / A PRIEST. If your daughter or niece / Shows the sign of The Beast You gotta get a little priest / A PRIEST. I'm afraid of ghosts When the fruit of your loins / Gets a real deep voice / Or makes a weird pig noise / CALL A PRIEST. And if her head spins round / All the way round / Well that's too far round / CALL A PRIEST. Satan makes me feel terrible Darkness falls because it's night / The sun's gone down, it isn't light And swine vent from the netherworld / to freak out y'alls environs, girl You smell a scream, you hear a chill / Pazuzu gets up in your grill Fleet of fetlock, bad of breath / You face the funkiest of deaths. Yet man and priest alike do hope / Through crucifix, keytar and Moog Yon righteous beats may exorcise / the beast with tons and tons of eyes But hellpests are not easy foiled / As fists are quenched and vestments soiled The boldest cleric eats his hat / When ghosts or something wail and that. When your sweet thirteen / Has a good blaspheme And she's bringing up green / It's a messed up scene. When it ain't no fun / Cos she talks in tongues And insults your mum / Got a problem, chum. When the air's all cold / Round your 12 year old And she looks like death / And she effs and jeffs When she grunts and spits / And she gets her kicks Doing messed up [BLEEP] / with a crucifix. Unkempt hair / And a lumpy face And she floats and swears / Like a big disgrace And she flops around / And her eyes go white And her teeth go brown / And she's real uptight When Beelzebub / Makes your bed go nuts Ain't no ifs or buts / You're in deep, deep trubs Don't hesitate / Don't be a clown P-P-Pick up the phone / Get a Catholic round. Hong Kong, Berlin, Stockholm, Rotherham Everybody talk about... Godbotherin' Talk about / Godbotherin' Talk about / Godbotherin' What would he know? / Godbotherin' He ain't Max Von Sydow / Godbotherin' Should know by now / Godbotherin' It ain't pronounced "Sigh-Dow" / Godbotherin' / Godbotherin' / Godbotherin' PRIEST / Godbotherin' PRIEST / Godbotherin'

A no trick pony just a'killin time Down a one-way street rolling crooked dice You can hide in a bottle, you can hock your .45 But I left my worries and my wedding ring This old lone wolf had to spread his wings And I'm proud to say I couldn't ever walk no line I'm not the the kind to stick around for long I was born to be a one man guy If you see my wife, say "Momma, don't you cry" Just you tell her that your Pa's the ramblin' kind I grabbed this old guitar and a coupla bucks Threw my gunny sack in the pickup truck Watched you sleep awhile 'fore I hit the road Just a stonewashed, washed-up troubadour I'm a prairie wind and a slammed backdoor I'm a wanderin' star. I'm a rocking, rolling stone Never was the the kind to stop awhile for long Son, I gotta stay a one man guy And though you're only five, I see forgiveness in your eyes That I always been the wanderin', ramblin' kind A wild heart must be free to soar No gilded cage and no child support You can't look back and you can't have no regrets I did my share and I tried my best Or not quite either, in retrospect But I did consider tryna try my best Someday we might could reconcile On the old porch swing we'll shoot the breeze awhile I'll make you see perhaps you judged me wrong. You can hear my tales of the ramblin life Bout truckstop, bourbon, dustbowl dives Just understand, come morning I'll be gone Sure I've broken hearts, told my share of lies And never met a barfight I didn't like Just a good ol' boy on a crazy switchback ride But I ain't meant to hurt no one Just sleep around and sometimes hit your mom And you were almost always often on my mind Don't see how I can make up all I've missed But you gotta suit yourself – there ain't no better life So years from now you can tell your therapist I was the wanderin', travellin', rollin', ramblin' kind
