Electrascope Lyrical transcriptions by Rami M. and Mikko H. A work in progress There WILL be errors, I can assure you - It's not correct or complete yet although all songs are covered, as several of them have some fairly hard-to-hear lyrics. Asterisks placehold for missing words, and parentheses suggest/guess/doubt content. Electrascope (Theme From...) --- Time is leaving My heart bleeding I can see no end No solution To my confusion I can see no end Dump the switch Satan I catch your message in the shower I can't believe it's in the hours To my electroscope I see you moving through the city The blackened sky can look so pretty To my electroscope You see me change direction We offer no protection My electroscope Well, bring me the doubt (downed?) To all my changes I see no end Try not to move me It's so soothing I can never seem to be myself I saw your message in the shower I can't admit it's in the hours (?) To my electroscope I see you moving through the city [Yeah yeah] The blackened sky can look so pretty To my electroscope You see me change direction We offer no protection From the middle of my electroscope Are you living?

A tiny little spaceship that takes it all away Until it starts again Oh, but for you There is land at the bottom of the sea Oh, but for you It's better than the light we have to be And if you need that spaceship to take your mind off everything I feel I need a lover, it was more than just a friend She gets you to the end Oh, but for you There is land at the bottom of the sea Oh, but for you It's better than the love we have to be And if you need another to get you through the day Come find me in your spaceship I'll always be a friend, I'll get us to the end Oh, but for you There is land at the bottom of the sea Oh, but for you It's better than the love we have to be Oh, but for you There is land at the bottom of the sea Oh, but for you It's better than the light we have to be Mechanically Separated Chicken --- Everybody here was cured Everybody here assured Analyzed, sanitized, synchronized Nothing more to gain Everybody here was cool And everybody here was fooled To looking like mechanically separated chicken in a can You show me perfection I drink to the unbelievers I'm lost in the future I drink to the unbelievers Everybody here was sane Then they barbecued their brains (?) Say * Come back to do it all again You show me perfection I drink to the unbelievers I'm lost in the future I show you the unbelievers We are so predictable When everybody feels the same You've only got yourself to blame You show me perfection I drink to the unbelievers We're out there in the future I drink to the unbelievers You show me I drink to I give you the unbelievers Come out here in the future Come drink to the unbelievers Exiles --- Out of the dirt a shell that gave you hell Brought the sickness Hearts that disappear into my beer Spells forget 'Cause I don't care, I've got my share of problems I can't say why my head needs to touch the ground Came out of the blue, thought of you came between us I thought of the exiled men, how you can't stand to be here 'Cause I don't care, I've got my share of problems I can't say why my head needs to touch the ground My palms (?) upon the street The last retreat, the battle ended I'm sorry for what I've done, the victim one So let's pretend that I.. I don't care, I've got my share of problems I can't say why my head needs to touch the ground I just feel like my ticket's going one way And I can't say why my feet never touch the ground * * * Flowers of Japan --- The flowers of Japan To understand a man Who had * ("a shitty gift"? Probably not. :) To get beneath my skin The flowers of Japan To understand a woman You'll try to cut her down Then one of you will drown You say I can't understand your philosophy I can't believe it's really happened to me I see a future stuck in overdrive My * this piece of suicide (Sounds like "My virgin kept" but that's.. weird) Tokyo bleeding The flowers of Japan Ooh, to understand a woman 'Cause all things will bring you 'round Oh, how did your spirit blind me?
