I am the employee
The employee of the myth
I stand in awe
At the altar of this gift
I stand in awe
At the edge of the abyss
Leave all those worries
They're all in vain
It's all for nothing
Just start again
I am the employee
The employee of the myth
I stand in awe
At the altar of this gift
I stand in awe
At the edge of the abyss
Instrumental
Moments are fleeting
They fade away
Time is a vapour
That dissipates
I am the employee
The employee of the myth
I stand in awe
At the edge of the abyss
I stand in awe
at the altar of this gift

Just Another Lucky Day

All across the nation
People want an explanation
Cause they're feeling the frustration
Caused by your lack of imagination
And your verbal masturbation
Wear a mask or get a vaccination
Where's your proof
Just another lucky day for you
Just another lucky day for you
Like lambs to the slaughter
Leading all your sons and daughters
on 5th Avenue you shot her
Billy the Bush says man you got her
Shame on you
Just another lucky day for you
Just another lucky day for you
I don't know why you bother
Trying to run for cover
When you've screwed everybody over
Most importantly your lover
That's on you
Just another lucky day for you
Just another lucky day for you

One Song at a Time

The death of a friend
Has left me heartbroken and sad
I won't break I might bend
But I will see this through to the end
They're going to pluck my feathers
A handful at a time
A little here, a little there
Til there are no more mountains to climb
Every precious moment
On every stage we could find
The smell of piss and disappointment
Comes one song at a time
In the clubs and in the bars
No land in sight
Here we are plummeting to stardom
One show at a time
Night after night
Every precious moment
On every stage we could find
The smell of piss and disappointment
Comes one song at a time
It's just, one song at a time
Every precious moment
On every stage that we've climbed
The smell of piss and disappointment
Comes one song at a time
It's always, one song at a time
It's something we can't leave behind

Keep it to Myself

Everybody’s asking me
How ya doing
How’re ya feeling
What’s new and...
Everybody’s askin’ me
You still miss him
Are you ready
To begin again
I’m going to keep it to myself
Cause this is deeper
Than myself
You know I’m surrounded by best wishes
Tender kisses from a loving missus
I’m not the kind of guy
To roll over, leave early
Run for cover
I’m going to keep it to myself
This thing is deeper
Than myself
They say I know how you’re feeling
No you don’t
You really don’t
Everybody’s askin’ me
Are you copin’
Throttle wide open
You’re drinkin’ beer and smokin’
While everybody’s watchin’ me
Feel my way through
What would you do
What would you do
I would keep it to myself
This is way deeper than myself
They say I know how you’re feeling
No you don’t
You really don’t x 2

Whatever the Cost

Cause you never got caught
You think that nothing was lost
You said whatever the cost
It changes nothing cause you weren't cheating
Sure footed and young
Big breasted well hung
I guess it sure must have stung
When the party moved on without you
You got stuck in the mud
Fell back to earth with a thud
The crowd cried out man you suck
But all the while your fame was fleeting
Now you're the belle of the ball
A shooting star after all
When all that's left is the fall
Yes it matters it matters deeply
You got stuck in the past
You knew that it couldn't last
And even after you crashed
The self denial kept your heart beating
Cause you never got caught
You think that you never lost
You said whatever the cost
It changes nothing cause you were cheating

Don't look to me for the answer
I don't know nothin' anymore
I'll do my best in the meantime
And wonder what it's been for
Even though I'm less than perfect
I'm still the one that you adore
Let every day be like our first one
Je t'aime toujours mon amour
Don't look to me for the answer
I don't know nothin' anymore
I'll do my best in the meantime
And wonder what it's been for
Je t'aime toujours mon amour
Je t'aime toujours mon amour
