1.	Dirty Disco 11:43	lyrics	buy track
I tumbled down And down into a new sound I looked around And all I saw was you, now A perfect shade or hue, now I feel my eyes correct, now Progress into the foreground Progress into a new sound! We can go down to the Dirty Disco! We can go down to the Dirty Disco! And well, if you’re looking for a part of yourself You should look into the heart of yourself Know it better than anybody else And maybe go down to the Dirty Disco I looked within And all I saw was new skin The shape I’m in Is just the shape I’m preppin’ It’s just a shade, I’m guessing Just a delicatessen Nobody’s left pretendin’ Nobody’s second guessin! Nobody’s even home! Due to the Dirty Disco! We can go down to the Dirty Disco! And well, if you’re looking for a part of yourself you should look into the heart of yourself Know it better than anybody else And maybe go down to the Dirty Disco We can go down to the Dirty Disco! We can go down to the Dirty Disco! And well, if you’re looking for a part of yourself You should look into the heart of yourself Know it better than anybody else And maybe go down to the Dirty Disco
2.	Speed of Might 07:08	lyrics	buy track
When the boogie stops I go outside Walk right through the cigarettes Keep the politics right off my mind Walk home so I don’t forget Where do you find the time? To take what’s yours and call it mine You just can’t dig yourself out of this hole And now that you’re learning why If you stay here you’ll never thrive I guess you’re really out here on your own When the boogie starts I go back in Push through the degenerates Keep the rhythm down to deadly sin I love when it’s hard to get Where do you find the time? To take what’s yours and call it mine You just can’t dig yourself out of this hole And now that you’re learning why If you stay here you’ll never thrive I guess I’m really out here on my own Running at the speed of might
3.	Whole Hot Summer 07:47	lyrics	buy track
I came around at the end of spring Already here, you were wandering I was thinking, I got the word I’ve got the word I got the word it was going down You got the word I was coming round Now I’m thinking, who’s got the word Who’s got the word Everyone’s heard But who’s got the word? Tell me I didn’t wait for the whole hot summer  Just to feel that burn for the rest of my life And tell me I didn’t stay for the whole hot summer Just to feel that burn in the back of my mind Cuz I can’t quite take another whole hot summer Can’t feel that burn one more time So tell me I didn’t wait for the whole hot summer Just to feel that burn Nobody knows that you’re on my mind Something about you is so refined Now they’re thinking, I’ve got the herd I’ve got the herd But this was the third time I told myself That this wasn’t good for my mental health And now I’m thinking I’ve got the word I’ve got the word But nobody’s heard That I’ve got the word Tell me I didn’t wait for the whole hot summer  Just to feel that burn for the rest of my life Tell me I can’t stay for the whole hot summer Just to feel that burn in the back of my mind Cuz I can’t quite take another whole hot summer Can’t feel that burn one more time So tell me I didn’t wait for the whole hot summer Just to feel that burn You’d find a way to keep it on the edge You’d find a way to put the thing to bed You’d find a way to keep it in the end You’d find a way to put the thing to bed You’d find a way to keep it on the house You’d find a way to turn the thing around Cuz you found a way to keep it on the edge You found a way to put the thing to bed To put the thing to bed You found a way to keep it on the edge You found a way to put the thing to bed You found a way to keep it in the end You found a way to put the thing to bed You found a way to keep it on the house You found a way to turn the thing around Cuz you found a way to keep it on the edge You found a way to put the thing to bed
4.	Miami 2 05:42	lyrics	buy track
My friend, say goodbye Cuz it’s time for you and me to die I wish you’d come down and meet me, too I’m stuck down here in Miami 2 Cuz I wanted to clear Any sequel city from there to here But that’s something that I couldn’t ever do I think you should move to Miami 2 Stand up, look around Water filled the streets of the older town And now there’s nothing that a man can do I’m stuck down here in Miami 2 I don’t wonder why There’s no firecrackers in the sky Cuz you’ve had your spirit taken from you You died and now you’re Miami 2 I’ve seen the way the night changes It can happen again And I saw Miami 1 faded No time to pretend You know they’re onto our structure It can happen in time One poke and it could all rupture Just ignore it, we’re fine Good lord, take a breath This place is a gravity hole for death And that ain’t no place that I ever knew I’m stuck in evil Miami 2 What’s left of my mind Two days in a disco-laden find But that’s not something that I’d say to you Some things might stay in Miami 2 I’ve seen the way the night changes It can happen again And I saw Miami 1 faded No time to pretend You know they’re onto our structure It can happen in time One poke and it could all rupture Just ignore it, we’re fine

You better be takin’ your smoke break You better be takin’ your break You better be takin’ your smoke break You better be takin’ your break I better see you back round here sometime ‘tween seven and eight You better be comin’ right back here after you’ve taken your break But it doesn’t really matter now No it doesn’t really matter now No it doesn’t matter No it doesn’t matter No it doesn’t matter now You better be takin’ your smoke break You better be takin’ your break You better be takin’ your smoke break You better be takin’ your break I better see you back round here sometime ‘tween seven and eight You better be comin’ right back here after you’ve taken your break Smoke break Goin' on a Smoke break But it doesn’t really matter now No it doesn’t really matter now No it doesn’t matter No it doesn’t matter No it doesn’t matter now You better be takin’ your smoke break You better be takin’ your break You better be takin’ your smoke break You better be takin’ your break I better see you back round here sometime ‘tween seven and eight You better be comin’ right back here after you’ve taken your break
6.	Perseverance 16:26	lyrics	buy track
Walk towards the light No cause for fright There’s something right beyond the clearance Push through the night With speed and might Somebody’s changing their appearance We’ll be alright It’s nobody’s fight We just need a little perseverance Perseverance I don’t wanna hear it Don’t believe it Perseverance Got my tummy freakin’ Can’t relieve it Perseverance Now I know you’re reaching Perseverance Reaching for the ceiling Perseverance Not a perfect clearance Short appearance We’re gonna get there, get there We’re gonna get there, get there I got this thing inside my head I think you maybe know about it It keeps me up inside my bed And I go on and on about it Wake up to try and start my day But I can’t stop thinking about it I do not see another way It's perseverance Perseverance Through the incoherence interference Perseverance Moxie reappearance I’ve got this voice inside my head It makes me feel so wrong about it The only way to persevere Is to become a god about it The disco can not take your soul It only moves to push the rhythm Follow the four right on the floor The cure is good old fashioned Perseverance Like no other feeling I’m believing Perseverance Got my body peeling Tense releasing Perseverance Now my body's freakin' Perseverance All my bones are creakin' Perseverance Everybody’s reaching for the ceiling We’re gonna get there, get there We're gonna get there, get there We're gonna get there, get there We're gonna get there, get there
