sample: The Magnetic Fields - Strange Powers And I can't sleep Cause you got strange powers You're in my dreams Strange powers On the Ferris wheel Looking out on Coney Island Under more stars than There are prostitutes in Thailand Our hair in the air Our lips blue from cotton candy When we kiss, it feels Like a flying saucer landing In Las Vegas where The electric bills are staggering The decor hog wild And the entertainment saccharine What a golden age What a time of right and reason The consumer's king And unhappiness is treason And I can't sleep Cause you got strange powers You're in my dreams Strange powers The Sun falls down like honey The Moon pours down like mercury The stars fall down like money And you come down to me And I can't sleep Cause you got strange powers You're in my dreams Strange powers

sample: clipping. - A Better Place Remember the darkness will show you the way It's a long way away, it's a long way away And I’m all alone along a long Long long long long long long way Inside the mind of a man is a massacre Made up of many a miniature message He misses the most of it So convoluted, designed for disaster It's making the best of a universe Far too expansive to cope with And he never chose nor was chosen By metrics that make any sense And the senses are numbed by emotional stresses There must be a better place to Be somebody, be somebody else Who got time on a string, on a finger? Nothing to remember but the passage of it Who got time to let anything linger? Where it hovers, surely you will learn to love it Who got time for this love shit anyway? Gotta survive, isn't that mess enough for him? There must be a better place to Be somebody, be somebody else Set a course, it's a bet upon an endless Roulette wheel odds are ungodly As are the odds of the body Making it through and surviving the gravity shift The gravitas of which is lost On the lost thoughts of a being ch-ch-chopped To a bite size in the light Eyes beggin' don't eat the messenger The message is an SOS and other S's In the language where it goes There must be a better place to Be somebody, be somebody else Flesh is weaker than the metal, it is true But the metal's being moved into a thing it doesn't do Circuitry is only serviceable as much as it is used So why don't you use it? 'Til you use it up, abuse it It is strong, it can take it if you can't Your sinews are more intuitively designed for dance So let's set up a random course safely away from suns Four-hundred and twenty-three By a hundred and twelve by fifty-one There must be a better place to Be somebody, be somebody else Are you ready to go? (Go, go, go) Are you ready to go yet? Let's go (Go, go, go) Are you ready to go yet? Let's go (Go, go, go, go) Are you ready to go? (Go, go, go) Are you ready to go yet? Let's go (Go, go, go) Are you ready to go yet? Let's go (Go, go, go, go) Are you ready to go? (Go, go, go) Are you ready to go yet? Let's go (Go, go, go) Are you ready to go yet? Let's go (Go, go, go, go) There must be a, better place to (Go, go, go, go) Be somebody, be somebody else (Go, go, go, go, go, go) Go, go, go, go Go, go, go, go, go, go Go, go, go, go Go, go, go, go, go, go Go, go, go, go Go, go, go, go, go, go Go, go, go, go Go, go, go, go, go, go

sample: Frank Ocean - Ivy I thought that I was dreamin' when you said you love me The start of nothin', I had no chance to prepare I couldn't see you comin' The start of nothin', ooh, I could hate you now It's quite alright to hate me now When we both know that deep down The feeling still deep down is good If I could see through walls, I could see you're faking If you could see my thoughts, you would see our faces Safe in my rental like an armored truck back then We didn't give a fuck back then I ain't a kid no more, we'll never be those kids again We'd drive to Syd's, had the X6 back then, back then No matter what I did, my waves wouldn't dip back then Everything sucked back then, we were friends I thought that I was dreamin' when you said you love me The start of nothin', had no chance to prepare Couldn't see you comin' And we started from nothin', ooh, I could hate you now It's alright to hate me now We both know that deep down The feeling still deep down is good All the things I didn't mean to say, I didn't mean to do There were things you didn't need to say Did you mean to? Mean to I've been dreamin' of you, dreamin' of you I've been dreamin' of you, dreamin' of you I've been dreamin', dreaming

sample: MGMT - Congratulations Out with a whimper, it's not a blaze of glory You look down from your temple As people endeavor to make it a story And chisel a marble word, but all is lost if it's never heard I'll keep your dreams, you pay attention for me As strange as it seems, I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me The ground may be moving fast But I tied my boots to a broken mast But damn my luck and damn these friends That keep on combing back their smiles I save my grace with half-assed guilt And lay down the quilt upon the lawn Spread my arms and soak up congratulations

sample: Todd Rundgren - I Don't Want to Tie You Down Sometimes it's hard to look up under The times we're going through I scratch my head and stare and wonder How to face the day anew But it gives my life a bit more meaning To feel in love with you So heavy, I don't want to weigh you down Oh baby, I don't want to tie you down I don't want a thing to mar this ever The picture that we make The balance of our minds together The perfect give and take For me to let my love possess you Would be the worst mistake I'm sorry, I don't want to bring you down Oh baby, I don't want to tie you down Oh Jesus, I don't want to nail you down Oh baby, I don't want to tie you down

sample: Lola - 21 It took me 21 years to see it this clear Their story's wrong and it's not worth the tears I am worth something And I'm done acting And how many times did I never love The person in the mirror, but that's who I was I am so much more And I finally surrendered the war It all got too heavy And I wasn't healthy I was weak to the bones too I couldn't do this no more And I thought about life I gave to everyone else And I'm still trying to convince myself I deserve love as well

sample: The Microphones - Microphones in 2020 When I wake alone in the dark Again, I swim Out into the lake of the heart And in I hope the absurdity that permeates everything joyfully Rushes out and floods the room like water from the ceiling Undermining all of our delicate stabilities Admitting that each moment is a new collapsing building Nothing is true But this trembling, laughing in the wind Anyway, every song I've ever sung is about the same thing: Standing on the ground looking around, basically And if there have to be words, they could just be: "Now only" And "There's no end"
