Entertain The Mystery

Take a chance, if you dare
Do you care if she knows?
What to do with the urge?
Let it die?
Or let it grow?
(So hard)
Summer girls can drive a man insane
(So real)
Window shopping messes with the brain
(Just a case)
Of moving on before those voice speak
In this age-old game
It’s the thrill of the chase
A shame to waste a fantasy
Though you know, you’d never go
You still entertain the mystery
(So hard)
Summer girls can drive a man insane
(So real)
Window shopping messes with the brain
(Just a case)
Of moving on before those voice speak
In this age-old game

Cliché

Lights low, zoom in real slow
I think we all know
That he ain’t here to fix the shower
Small talk, bossa in the background
Sweat under the nightgown
To solve this case don’t need Jack Bauer
Clichés
They don’t really matter when
Deep down, we only want to see one thing
There’s someone at the door
Ring ring ring
I’ve seen that face before
Ripped clothes
Let’s dispense with niceties
Real soon
I’m gonna be down on my knees
And that’s when
You’ll be calling out my name
One more for the frame
I know, we don’t need no script for this
Mapped out, every angle, every kiss
Screenplay, I’ve never read one quite so lame
One more for the frame
Skip scene
The sofa’s still clean
The plumber’s still keen
But he ain’t here to fix the pipes
Voyeur, looming in the background
Getting off on each sound
Just the thing the couple likes
Clichés
They don’t really matter when
Deep down, we only want to see one thing
There’s someone at the door
Ring ring ring
I’ve seen that face before
Ripped clothes
Let’s dispense with niceties
Real soon
I’m gonna be down on my knees
And that’s when
You’ll be calling out my name
One more for the frame
I know, we don’t need no script for this
Mapped out, every angle, every kiss
Screenplay, I’ve never read one quite so lame
One more for the frame

Doppelgänger

Who is this man who holds my name?
He drinks my tea, he steals my fame and then...
(Out of sight he vanishes each time)
Ladies of the night, they say,
‘Herr Gestalt, what got into you that day?’
Pray tell…
(‘You were like an animal all night’)
Doppelgänger
He’s back on the scene
Doppelgänger
So filthy, so clean
Doppelgänger
Perverted desire
Doppelgänger
Doppelgänger
I’d like to know what is his plan
Does he intend to take my wealth and land?
(Or is this just another twisted game?)
How can one reason with one’s ‘self’?
Those evil genes! They don’t exactly help
(Holy intervention is required)
Doppelgänger
He’s back on the scene
Doppelgänger
So filthy, so clean
Doppelgänger
Perverted desire
Doppelgänger
Doppelgänger
Doppelgänger
It’s the Ganger!
Doppelgänger
It’s the Ganger!

We’re here at the party, our key at the door
A chance to see what we can be
No fear of going back for more
The rules of engagement
We nod and agree.
These steps we take will make or break
Our cotton wool reality
Those things you said you’d never do
(I hear you like it. Oh! You never tried it)
It’s like your inner self is now awake
The kids are fast asleep at home
(No need to worry, no, not in a hurry)
Collective wails, no way they can be faked
We finally did this
No longer a joke
The taste is sweet
The body heat and appetite begin to grow
The next invitation, we patiently wait
Foundations of this life we built
They shatter and disintegrate
Those things you said you’d never do
(I hear you like it. Oh! You never tried it)
It’s like your inner self is now awake
The kids are fast asleep at home
(No need to worry, no, not in a hurry)
Collective wails, no way they can be faked
We’ll make up a signal, if it all gets too much
Some couples just watch and never touch...
Those things you said you’d never do
(I hear you like it. Oh! You never tried it)
It’s like your inner self is now awake
The kids are fast asleep at home
(No need to worry, no, not in a hurry)
Collective wails, no way they can be faked

I can’t see you but I know that you’re good
You play formations that I wish I understood
It’s getting serious. This might not be my day
Can’t let the points slip. I got to find a way
Last time I looked I was right on the top
Didn’t think that anyone could make that bubble pop
There’s so much riding on this game I can’t describe
I got my team, got my ranking, got my…
Stand back!
Give me some space this time
Could be the moment we cross that line
Too late!
I sussed out your style my friend
Watch out!
I’m coming for you ‘til the end
Five hours and my eyes are open wide
Defence is weak. I keep letting you inside
The joke’s on me as I refuse to give in
Can’t go to bed now unless I scrape a win
Turn off my head set as I only want to swear
The rules dictate that we be courteous and fair
But it’s kind of hard to keep my cool at such a time
Just one break is all I need. Give me a sign…
Stand back!
Give me some space this time
Could be the moment we cross that line
Too late!
I sussed out your style my friend
Watch out!
I’m coming for you ‘til the end
If you only knew the things I’d do to keep this dream alive
You’d tell me to get help
‘Look at yourself! Now get your sorry arse outside!’
Stand back!
Give me some space this time
Could be the moment we cross that line
Too late!
I sussed out your style my friend
Watch out!
I’m coming for you ‘til the end

Time To Be Leaving
03:29

I think I’ve finally gone insane
Cos I swear I shut the door
When I came in just after 4
Now as I’m trying to get to sleep
I hear creaking down the hall
The writing’s on the wall, yeah
I sometimes think we’re not alone
Something creepy about this home
Time to be leaving
We’re hitting the road and moving out tonight
I’m packing the Gibson
I know there ain’t room, but we need some songs tonight
And I know what’s coming next
Cos I keep huddling up in bed
when I hear laughter from the shed
It’s like non stop Halloween
The Jason mask routine
A pale beheaded Queen
I sometimes think we’re not alone
Something creepy about this home
Time to be leaving
We’re hitting the road and moving out tonight
I’m packing the Gibson
I know there ain’t room, but we need some songs tonight
What they want
I wish I had a clue
I’ve lost my life
Don’t know what else to do
Hollywood is messing with my mind
Close encounters of the zombified
Let’s end the ride
Whoa oh!
Time to be leaving
We’re hitting the road and moving out tonight
I’m packing the Gibson
I know there ain’t room, but we need some songs tonight

I know this crazy game to play
But I just can’t guarantee
That you’ll leave here in one piece
Stakes are crazy, yes they’re high
You wouldn’t be the first guy asking ‘bout
The secret billing
The blindfolds and the non-stop thrilling
Step inside
Sign on the dotted line
Your wildest dreams might just come true
You can’t hide, there’s something deep inside you
Compelled to find the truth
Ah oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ah oh oh oh oh oh oh
(I’m in too deep my love)
Ah oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ah oh oh oh oh oh oh
(There ain’t no way – to get back out of this world)
Some people say it’s just a game
That it feels like ‘Running Man’, with one rule to understand
So take a gamble, take a risk
If you win the prize, then the notes are crisp and salmon pink
So are you in? Just nudge or wink
Read the spiel
Print your name and sign the deal
From now on no-one needs to know
So elite, our road’s a one-way street
And this time it could be you!
Ah oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ah oh oh oh oh oh oh
(I’m in too deep my love)
Ah oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ah oh oh oh oh oh oh
(There ain’t no way – to get back out of this world)
