Ça Plane Pour Moi (Live at The El 'n' Gee Club, July 3 1988)

We’re slow with the language 
We're quick with the hands 
Throw them up, it’s a roller coaster 
Going down 
Fall off breathless, get on again 

We’re slow with the meanings 
Quick with the facts 
Quick with the kisses, low in the tracks 
We give it up 
Make sure we always take it back 

Speed of the release creates a tension in the time we keep 
It slows time down when we tangle, when we reach 
Preach to the choir, burning up the telephone wires 
Cause those who can’t do, teach 

We're wrecked and affected 
But it’s all right 
Slow to recover, quick to fight 
Against mathematics 
That can never ever ever be made right 

We're slow to complain 
But we're quick to kick it 
Quick to submit to it 
Slow to explain it 
But we're trying 

Speed of the release creates a tension in the time we keep 
It slows time down when we tangle, when we reach 
Preach to the choir, burning up the telephone wires 
Cause those who can’t do, teach 

We fluidly move into 
Concrete situations 
And we don’t know how we got there 
It breeds complications, but it's all right, it's all right 
It's complicated

The End Of The World

Well, I'm taking stock and you’re giving tips 
And we're selling out, it’s a weird trip 
It's a reel scene 
And that's with two E's, baby 
Celluloid is forever, but it gets grainy 
So do we 

You’re a director and I'm a camera 
And I record it true, cause that’s what I do 
You got the vision 
To project it 40 feet on the wall 
We push in 
And we play it all 

And we climb over each other 
Just for the inspiration 
Just for the information 
The hearts and minds of a two man nation 

We're doing damage 
And we're taking hits 
Too high to manage 
Oooooo…Tick…Tick…Tick…Tick… 

I’m throwing looks and you’re taking shots 
And I'm seeing red, as you’re passing out 
You drive me crazy 
Or maybe you’re just down for the ride 
I'm seeing stars while you’re seeing signs 

And we start fires 
Just for the attention 
For the mentions 
We fall together and both scream action 

We're doing damage 
And we're taking hits 
Too high to manage 
Oooooo…Tick…Tick…Tick…Tick… 

Now all the passed down passages we never thought to write about 
And overheard remembrances in accents we could live without 
We drive our bed and we wreck it on the tracks 
It's not fantastic, it’s based on facts 

You come in tight 
When I'm feeling panoramic 
We're losing light 
And you’re still second guessing 
But sometimes sugar 
You gotta dance the steps you are given 
It's not real life, but it’s really living 

And the fuse gets lit 
With matches we hold together 
Strap ourselves in tighter 
Fire is just a kind of weather 

We're doing damage 
And were taking hits 
Too high to manage 
Oooooo…Tick…Tick…Tick…Tick…
