Lyrics

Prolonging the Magic (1998)

• As soon as you're born, you start dying,
  So you might as well have a good time.
  • "Sheep Go to Heaven"

• Cool blue reason empties on the page
  Your colleagues are in prison and your enemies enraged.
  • "Cool Blue Reason"

• A golden bird that flies away, a candle's fickle flame —
  To think I held you yesterday, your love was just a game.
  • "Never There"

Comfort Eagle (2001)

• I want a girl who gets up early,
  I want a girl who stays up late,
  I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity,
  Who uses a machete to cut through red tape.
  • "Short Skirt/Long Jacket"

Pressure Chief (2004)

• In a seedy karaoke bar,
  by the banks of the mighty Bosphorus,
  is a Japanese man in a business suit
  singing "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes".
  • "Wheels"
