Lyrics The Terror - Complete Album - The Flaming Lips

There's a little spaceship
Hiding in the clouds
You want it to love you
Let's keep our voices down
You can hear the voice
Telling you to love
The voice of MK-Ultra
And you're doing what it wants
Love is always something
Something you should fear
When you really miss her
Fear is all you hear
I know that you will love me
Until I come down
Look, the sun is rising
What will love us now
Look, the sun is rising, rising
What will love us
Look, the sun is rising rising rising rising rising
Did God make pain so we can know
The high that nothing is
The sun shines down but we're still cold
Its light is not a light that shines
The way, a way, but how can we
Be free when all our days are empty
Is love a God that we control
To try to trust the pain
The sun shines down but we can't see
Its light lights everything the same
Be free, a way but how can we
Find arms to hold the days?
Be free, a way but how can we
Find arms to hold the days, the days
A way
A way
A way
A way
A way
Is it wise, loving someone
They tell lies, make you think something
I'm not wise, I believe what you tell them for me
I believed you, I believe you, I believe
A love that explodes
Convulsing your body
You head, ecstatically wanting
Trapped there, walking away on the bridge to nowhere
To nowhere, to no one
Try to explain why you've changed
I don't think I'll understand
A love that explodes, convulsing your body
You head, ecstatically wanting
Trapped there, walking away on the bridge to nowhere
To nowhere, to no one
Try to explain why you've changed
I don't think I'll understand
Try to explain why you're leaving
I don't think I'll understand
(I heard the billionth voice, the voice of endless complexity)
(There were no bearings, I heard them, they were me)
You've got a lot of nerve
A lot of nerve to fuck with me
Better kill your emperor
'Cause you know you're just like me
You lust, you lust, you lust
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
When you pull the switch on them
I don't really want to know
When you shoot the stars away
The brightest light is the first to go
You lust, you lust, you lust
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Ugly and magnificent
Your selfish eye can't see itself
When it shoots across the fall
It can never be destroyed
It can never be destroyed
And we can't understand it, myself
And little when we be troubled
Assumed
And a strong fake proportion in my
Mind
I felt everything overwhelming me
And was hyper-susceptible
However long they love you, we are all standing alone
The terror's in our heads, we don't control the controls
I turn to face the sun, we are still standing alone
At last we'll sing of the terror, it helps us hold the controls
We'll sing in the sunshine, we'll laugh every day
We'll sing 'cause love will save us
The sunshine every day
We'll save the last sunshine, the way I long to go
We'll sing 'cause love will save us
The sunshine every day
Your voice says yes but I can't go on
Your voice says yes but I can go more
What gives judgement the final word
Once the sacred word can't be heard
All the time you told us I was bad
And I have no goodness left in me
And I'll have to live beyond reality's dream
Oh, girl
Oh, girl
Oh, girl
No
Just the sound of your ecstasy I hear
Just enough to wake me from my fear
It's enough to sacrifice me now
It's the only sound of love I hear
Oh God
Oh God
Oh God
No
I'm not alone, you are alone
You're not alone, you are alone
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
You're not alone, you are alone
You're not alone, you are alone
I'm not alone, you are alone
You're not alone, you are alone
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh
If you've ever really seen the sun rise
You will see how many times it tries
If you've ever really seen the sun set
You will see how long it takes to die
You can see the butterfly has landed
Landing on your face, it licks your eye
You can feel its tongue making a teardrop
You will see how long it takes to cry
You can see the universe beginning
Making a new sun in a new sky
You can see the universe is ending
Making a new dark in a new light
Turning violent, tell me about it, turn, turn around
You want violence, don't turn violent, oh
Turn on and on, turn on and on
Turn on, turn on
Turning violent, tell me about it, turn, turn around
You want violence, don't turn violent, oh
Turn on and on, turn on and on
Turn on, turn on
Turn on and on, turn on and on, turn on
Turning violent, tell me about it, turn, turn around
You want violence, don't turn violent, oh
Turn on and on, turn on and on
Turn on (listening and watching)
Turn on (watching and listening)
Turning violent, tell me about it, turn, turn around
You want violence, don't turn violent, oh
Turn on and on (if you're violent)
Turn on and on (if you're sinister)
Turn on (listening and watching)
Turn on (watching and listening)
Turn on and on (listening and watching)
Turn on and on (watching and listening)
Turn on (turning violent), turn off
Always there, in our hearts, fear of violence and of death
Always there, in our hearts, there is love and there is pain
Always there, in our hearts, there is evil that wants out
Always there, in our hearts, there are sorrows and sadness
Always there, in our hearts, never understanding
Always there, in our hearts, something pure that we can't control
Can't control, can't control, can't control
Always there, in our hearts, destroying everything we know
Always there, in our hearts, not forgiving those who are weak
Always there, in our hearts, shame that we are all powerless
Always there, in our hearts, a joy of life that overwhelms
Overwhelms, overwhelms, overwhelms, overwhelms, overwhelms
