So people have been asking for lyrics for the essay contest. Here they are...
1.Casanova Frankenstein


Turn into a butterfly
Wrap yourself in your new fancy clothes

Run with a pack of wolves
Preying on fresh weaknesses

Drink away your sadness
Into any arms that will have you

Take your pills to close your eyes
Wake the next day disappointed to be alive

We fly to close to the spotlight
We get burned by the promises of this new life

Casanova Frankenstein 10 thousand volts a one track mind
Casanova Frankenstein sewn together with fishing line

Think you hit rock bottom
We've only just begun to sink

Rocked over by your dreams
A slave to your obsession

Drink away your sadness
Into any arms that will have you

Take your pills to close your eyes
Wake the next day disappointed to be alive

We fly to close to the spotlight
We get burned by the promises of this new life

Casanova Frankenstein 10 thousand volts a one track mind
Casanova Frankenstein sewn together with fishing line

2.Trans-Siberian Railway

Her hands are shivering in the cold
Despite the fact she rubs them together
While holding her ticket for a train to nowhere
She presses on

Her faith lies on rusted rails
Leading into a foggy blizzard

And we escape on a Trans-siberian Railway

She climbs onto the platform
bringing only what she can carry on
The guards are calling to stop, stop the train
but she climbs aboard

She cries a single tear meant for one family
which she will never see again

And we escape on a Trans-siberian Railway

3.Juggernaut

Went to the, academy, you flunked out
Had choices, made mistakes, got you here today

Learned how to, build hydraulics and work with circuitry
You drew schematics, and you built your masterpiece

And it's all for you Juggernaut
All for you juggernaut
All for you juggernaut

Waste your life, designing engineer
Waste your life, designing engineer

You are you are a rising star, you are you are a Juggernaut
You are you are a rising star, you are you are a Juggernaut

Verse 2
Turned water, into steam, made power,
Put that power into machines, made them rich beyond their dreams

Reached the top, it was too cold, tried to back down
They wouldn't let you, signed contracts, became a slave to their machine

And it's all for you Juggernaut
All for you juggernaut
All for you juggernaut

Waste your life, designing engineer
Waste your life, designing engineer

You are you are a rising star, you are you are a Juggernaut
You are you are a rising star, you are you are a Juggernaut

4.Giant Mechanical Spider

I can tell by the seems on your magazines that there's something terribly wrong,
And try that I might we just sit and fight and we don't say nothing at all

This must be the most lukewarm boiler exploding out.

Driving recklessly through silhouettes of trees with the unicorns on the console
The hydraulics are shot and it's burning hot but she keeps loading the coal

This must be the most lukewarm boiler exploding out.

There's something wrong with the mechanics
Which this engineer doesn't know how to
Fix this problem

With a bullhorn in the air and her golden hair the noose around my neck gets tighter
Heading straight for me, full of steam is a giant mechanical spider.

Our town

Keep moving on into the sunset
On your trusty steed, whistling

Like a gunslinger looking for companionship among the sand dunes
And inside the saloons
Where heroes become has-beens

A man filled with pride waiting for the last ride
To go out in glory
A secondhand lion at it's finest, singing

Keep moving on into the sunset
On your trusty steed, whistling

Ride on into the sunset
Ride on into the sunset

This is our Town
This is our Town

All the people and all the places
With big smiles on their faces

All the people and all the places
With T.V.'s showing car races

This is our Town
This is our Town

And the voices are calling to
Keep moving on into the sunset
On your trusty steed, whistling

This is our Town
This is our Town

7.Off the Assembly Line

Serrated edges dulled by the atmosphere
Inside the warehouse it's somewhere we've been before

Pneumatic pistons moving so frigidly
The gushes of air show that it's still working

Constructing a product on a conveyor belt it's something we've seen before
We've redone and revised a million times before and now it's back to the drawing board

Incomplete schematics fill the floor
Overflowing baskets which the janitor just ignores

Disconnected electrical wirings
The gap in the weld joints show someone's slacking

And I think sometimes I'm pull out my hair
And this job that I'm doing doesn't seem like they care

Fried circuit boards; melting silicone
Each robot a perfect, a perfectly made clone

Our missing pieces, makes us obsolete and blind
And we're incomplete fresh off the assembly line

Redone sequels, predictable plotlines it's something we've seen before
We've redone and revised a million times before and now it's back to the drawing board

8.Marathon Paving Machine

Remember when we started out on our marathon of sorrows
And it lasted through the night, the night we started on a path we couldn't escape

The pieces of gravel are ground up
Into a fully functioning member of our society
The men in the orange coats pick up the strays
Like a truant officer looking for hooligans

Anyone who walks upon your surfaces
Sinks to the great below
Like a mastodon in the artic circle
Struggling out of the tar pits

You're a Marathon Paving Machine
You're Marathon Paving Machine

You travel farther than anyone to get the job done
You travel farther than anyone to get the job done

You're a Marathon Paving Machine
You're a Marathon Paving Machine

The flares lead the way burning their potassium
Like Lance Armstrong sporting bananas before the tour de France
Pavement's under pressure of a concrete god
Like a brain surgeon operating on a mafia don

Anyone who walks upon your surfaces
Sinks to the great below
Like a mastodon in the artic circle
Struggling out of the tar pits

You're a Marathon Paving Machine
You're a Marathon Paving Machine
You're a Marathon Paving Machine
You're a Marathon Paving Machine

9.Never mind the Theatrics

Sitting at home the people all alone prepare for the vaudeville show
The events they'll see are more than the fee and guarantee to shock and awe
Little do they know, they all share a role, in this tragedy.

Never mind the theatrics
The curtains calling in five minutes
There's a panic in the air, all the actors to their places please

Their checking their hats and their evening shawls in
The concession stalls in the concession stalls
It's a show they'll never forget, it's a show they'll never forget

Never mind the theatrics
There's a phantom lurking in the catwalks
The pit's been hacked and hanged
No opera today

Back behind the stage all the actors wait powdering their noses
The gossip ensues and spreads all the news of the bands demise
With a gleeful grin the man in the mask lowers the nooses around their necks
And a tug of the reins a curtain unveils a hanging cast of men

A mixing and matching of their limbs a Picasso hangs in mid-air
Like something you've seen on Halloween an abomination of god's blueprints
This scrambled scene of anatomy is duly called the makeshift gentlemen
As the crowd screams the phantom leaves the director shouts "the show must go on"!

10.Ultra Violence

Are you ready for some ultra violence?
Can you escape the death defiance of another night?
All these canes and all these chains
We'll go down in history as the most feared gang.

Are you ready for some ultra violence?
Can you escape the death defiance of another night?

We're gonna dance like the renaissance is back in style
We'll act like polio and stay for awhile
We're gonna start a revolution inside outlet malls
We'll take to the streets and make phone calls

Are you ready for some ultra violence?
Can you escape the death defiance of another night?
We'll go far eating caviar,
Playing chicken in our Dodge Durango retro-future car.


We're gonna dance like the renaissance is back in style
We'll act like polio and stay for awhile
We're gonna start a revolution inside outlet malls
We'll take to the streets and make phone calls

Are you ready for some ultra violence?
Can you escape the death defiance of another night?
We march to the ninth with a cane and a knife
So we'll ask one last time before our last crime.
