| THE DAY EVERYTHING BECAME NOTHING The day everything became nothing, 
I was standing underneath a streetlight, Wishing I’had a cigarette.
 I can't recall anything unusual about it.
 If there was something in the air,
 If the skies had clouded over, I’wasn't aware, I’was too bored to care.
 No thunder roared. No lightning cracked.
 No missiles rained from the sky. This was no sneak attack.
 There was just suddenly this awful lack.
 Things had changed, that's for sure.
 The day everything became nothing, you couldn't put your finger on
what had gone wrong.
 The alleys were still dirty; the garbage still smelled;
 There was no panic in the streets; Just a lot of grief...
 In people's faces, in their eyes...a mixture of horror and total surprise.
 This was no apocalypse. No one heard a voice from the sky,
 There were no miracles at the 7-eleven,
 No one screamed, no one even asked why.
 It was just like everything had somehow, quietly died.
 So let it die!
 I can't recall much of what happened next.
 I was on my way to visit this woman I’knew.
 All we had in common was good sex,
 And now I’couldn't even remember her address.
 A group of us, just strangers, got together and we formed a committee
to discuss the problem.
 We talked about things like assured mutual destruction and emotional
responsibility.
 I couldn't remember my name, so I’called myself bob.
 It's weird being a bob, but i'll get used to it.
 I have to.
 DEAD SOULS 
 Dead souls, Dead souls they're coming, I’know (2 times) 
Dead souls, Dead souls they want my soul (2 times)
 Dead souls, Dead souls they'll find me, I’know (2 times)
 Dead souls, Dead souls they need to feed (2 times)
 Dead souls, Dead souls they'll find me, I’know (2 times)
 I know I’know dead souls, dead souls dead souls, dead souls
 FORGET YOUR LIFE
 Now if you feel like nothing 
Nothing and nobody and if you see nothing
 Nothing and nobody forget your life
 It's nothing now
 If you cringe and shrink inside but say nothing
 Nothing to nobody and if you cry but say nothing
 Nothing to nobody
 Forget your life
 It's nothing you're hiding
 Why are you hiding That's nothing
 You're scared What are you scared of
 That's nothing
 Forget your life
 It's nothing
 Forget it
 BEAUTY AND THE BEAST 
 Beauty lies in the eyes 
Behold the eyes where it lies
 If beauty lies in the eyes
 Behold the eyes
 The beast you, you're beautiful you, you're beautiful
 Beauty talks but beauty lies
 Beauty wakes the beast inside
 A feast of eyes where beauty walks behold the eyes
 The beast you, you're beautiful you, you're beautiful
 Beauty struts and beauty flaunts 'cause this is what the eyeball wants
 Beauty doesn't stand a chance
 Behold the eyes of the beast Those hungry eyes
 On beauty's parts those burning eyes
 On beauty's parts those burning eyes
 So dark and hot
 Dark and hot
 Dark and hot
 Dark and hot
 Behold the eyes
 BROTHER RAT 
 Let's go out and see what we see 
Let's go out and see what we see
 Just you and me
 Just you and me
 And there will be no other brother
 Brother we'll knock back a few
 And talk about life
 We'll knock back a few
 And talk about life and what is right
 And what is right
 We'll talk about life and what is right
 And there will be no other brother, buddy, pal, comrade, friend buddy,
pal, comrade, friend
 Until the end
 A shake of the hand,
 A pat on the back
 A shake of the hand,
 A pat on the back
 A knife in the back,
 A knife in the back
 I'll buy you a beer,
 A knife in the back
 And there will be no other brother 
We're one in the same, You and me
 We're one in the same, You and me
 We're brothers, Brothers in arms
 We're friends until the end
 We're brothers, brothers in arms
 Until the end your end
 Brother rat
 WHAT SLAYDE SAYS
 Slayde is my buddy, my pal, he is my brother I’am one, he is the other 
When the sun shines, he is my shadow
 And when the moon is high, it's at his feet I’lie
 But i'll never listen to what slayde says
 I'll never listen to what slayde says
 Slayde's always talking, and it's rarely nice
 He's always whispering his poisonous advice
 He is secretive, ruthless and cold
 He mentions just enough and leaves the rest untold
 He said, "don't ever risk an open attack, just smile into their faces
and then stab them in the back"
 But slayde, I’said, what about the weak,
 The helpless and the small?
 He just sneered and said, "fuck 'em all, fuck 'em all"
 He said I’am a murderer, although i've killed no one
 You talk in puzzles slayde, I’said,
 What have you really done?
 "I've cut the twining cord, i've shot the turtle dove, i've shut out
that precious light that shines from above" Slayde, you are a poet, I’said
 But what are you truly speaking of?
 He smiled and whispered, „I murdered love" he smiled and whispered,
 „I murdered love"
 I guess I’hate him, no, that's not really true
 He's not completely bad,
 Sometimes he'll crack a joke or two
 I guess i've grown accustomed to his funny ways
 It's not his fault that he was made that way
 I hear him in my sleep, I’see him in my dreams
 I see him crouched before some terrible machine
 And then I’face a mirror and he steps in between
 Can you tell me, what does this mean?
 Can you tell me, what does this mean?
 Now I’lay me down to sleep and pray to god my soul to keep
 If I’should die before I’wake
 You'll know i've made my escape but there is one step i'll never take
 I'll never listen to what a slayde says...
