Vacancy

Song by The Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
Today’s the day I end my sentence
And I’m entering a world I do not know
And I’m dreaming of a shimmer in the darkness
Will it show…I don’t know
Today’s the day they will remember
When they’re reading off the details of my life
And I do believe it’s getting somewhat better
But I don’t know…I don’t know
Today’s the day I end my sentence
And I served it so much longer than deserved
And I’m dreaming of a shimmer in the darkness
Will it show…I don’t know
Today’s the day I find my purpose
And it’s easily the hardest thing to do
And I’m dreaming of a shimmer in the darkness
Will it show…I don’t know

A Shimmer In The Darkness

Song by The Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
A hard, hard lesson to learn
A crossroads for you and me
What a hard, hard lesson to learn
Facing down reality
Don’t stop, don’t look back
Wait for it, brace for it
Don’t stop, don’t look back
Wait for it, brace for it
A hard, hard lesson to learn
A crossroads for you and me
What a hard, hard lesson to learn
Facing down adversity
Don’t stop, don’t look back
Wait for it, brace for it
Don’t stop, don’t look back
Wait for it, brace for it
A hard, hard lesson to learn
A crossroads for you and me
What a hard, hard lesson to learn
Facing down reality
Don’t stop, don’t look back
Wait for it, brace for it
Don’t stop, don’t look back
Wait for it, brace for it

The Lesson

Song by The Ginger Twins….
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven….

Lyrics:
Free from independent thought
Loved only by the things you’ve bought
Trained since my life began
To be the model citizen
To be the model citizen
The model citizen
Gone is any choice to make
Free from any risk to take
Programmed and retrained again
To be the model citizen
To be the model citizen
The model citizen

The Model Citizen

Song by The Ginger Twins…
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven…

Lyrics:
Brand new initiative
Somewhat prohibitive
Vulgar and primitive
Yet still derivative
Like a dog fears thunder
The thumb I’m under
Brand new initiative
Somewhat prohibitive
Vulgar and primitive
Yet still derivative
I once knew what I wanted
I pursued what I wanted
Vulgar and primitive
Yet still derivative
Like endless hunger
The spell I’m under
I once knew what I wanted
I pursued what I wanted
Vulgar and primitive
Yet still derivative

Derivative

Song by The Ginger Twins...
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven…

Lyrics:
Shattering me
Is shattering you
Set in motion
Sentence passed
Broken hearts
Like shattered glass
Outlast
Dice cast
Will it end?
Will it end?
Bearing the burden
Of all the world’s problems
A plan set in motion
Uncertain the outcome
Will it end?
Shattering me
Is shattering you
It's over now
Never end…
Never end…
Never end…
Never end...

Shattering Me

Song by The Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
True regret
In this life
True regret
In this…
She lies awake at night
Haunted by that day
The price forever pay
Alive but dead inside
True regret
In this life
True regret
In this…
Greeted by the face of truth
Can’t deny mistakes we’ve made
Defined by careless youth
Now until the grave
True regret
In this life
True regret
In this…

True Regret

Song by The Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
Hidden evidence
Sees the light of day
Whispers in the wind
Blow a different way
Will true change begin?
A new reality
Did they really win?
An end to tyranny?
Revolution
Absolution
Revolution
Obsoletion
Wishful negligence
A new authority
Devoid of ignorance
Correcting you and me
Smiling new regime
Promising relief
Stoic new regime
Controlling you and me
Revolution
Absolution
Revolution
Obsoletion


Obsoletion

Song by the Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
Standing, facing the firing line
Cold hearts without a care I find
Climbing, racing a ticking clock
Path blocked – can’t reach the mountaintop 
Yet again
Yet again
Yet again
Yet again and again and the sky grows dim
I am defeated again
I have retreated again
I am mistreated again
I have retreated again
Mind racing with endless thoughts
Distant memories of love and loss
Staring down at the firing line
No resolution and a truce declined
Yet again
Yet again
Yet again
Yet again and again and the sky grows dim
I am defeated again
I have retreated again
I am mistreated again
I have retreated again
I am defeated again
I have retreated again
Yet again


Yet Again

Song by the Ginger Twins…
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven…

Lyrics:
There’s something amiss
There’s something not right
There’s something amiss
There’s something not…
Why should it be this way?
Clear as a cloudy day
Piece of the puzzle appears
Run…it’s the worst of fears
There’s something amiss
There’s something not right
Fear…lives
There’s something amiss
There’s something not…
Why does it end this way?
Dark as a stormy day
There’s something amiss
There's something amiss

Something Amiss
