Christmas Eve, 2053: Underneath every little girl's tree, a robot pony. Comb their soft and luscious nylon fur! Listen close - hear their clockwork hearts whir. Robot ponies... They feed on plastic bags, cut up like lettuce, right out of your hand. Things get out of hand unless you use one of 20 preset functions to make them understand you know best. Choose between seven pony types! Some like swimming - we made those babies air-tight. Children, parents, spread the word around. Robot ponies take your granny out to the robot pony geriatric ranch. Tennis, golf and basketball, these robot ponies do it all. They fuckin' love it all! They'll tuck you in at night and sing to you, "You know best." Christmas Eve, 2053: Underneath every little girl's tree, a robot pony. Comb their soft and luscious nylon fur! Listen close - hear their clockwork hearts whir. Robot ponies... Back to school 2054, new models on the way, nothing's here to stay. Last year's pony doesn't mind being left behind. You know best!

We were conduits of love Live like phosphoresence Half asleep and self-indulged We've lost our essence Can't you see We fell rain black from the stars above When will we Take an axe to the frozen seasons We were epitomies of flesh and blood We were luminescent Half-aware and self-involved We've lost our essence Can't you see We fell rain black from the stars above When will we Take an axe to the frozen seasons

Don't haunt this heart, Don't haunt this place, Your heart beating slow as it beats out a pace, West side apartment grows lonely and dark, West side apartment is two more empty hearts. I see your keys hanging in the same place, They haven't moved for a month or even a day, This was hard it was fun, We should do it again, Give ourselves some time, Ten years from the day. I need you now, I need you then, I never want to feel this again, Separate the room with painful divides, Until there's nothing left to remind. Never want to see you again, I never want to feel this again, Turn off the locks, All the pitfalls night, 'Till I find something you left behind. And the things we never had, And the things we wish would come back, Because we need this oh so bad, Because we need this oh so bad. And we tremble in the night, For the things we're wishing were right, Because we need this oh so bad, Because I need you oh so bad. Don't haunt this heart, Don't haunt this place, Your heart beating slow as it beats out a pace, West side apartment grows lonely and dark, West side apartment is two more empty hearts. I want to hurt, I want to betray, It's not like me to make your heart break, This was hard it was fun we should do it again, Give ourselves some time ten years from the day. And the things we never had, And the things we wish would come back, Because we need this oh so bad, Because we need this oh so bad. And we tremble in the night, For the things we're wishing were right, Because we need this oh so bad, Because I need you oh so bad. Don't haunt this heart, Don't haunt this place, Your heart beating slow as it beats out a pace, West side apartment grows lonely and dark, West side apartment is two more empty hearts. I know it's right I know it's okay, And I'd like to see you now and again, This was hard it was dumb we should do it again, Give ourselves some time ten years from the day.

I found a place to sell my name Along the market’s promenade High prices Going down I robbed a store to wear my shoes It hurt my pride to bear these blues High prices Going down The rice is burning brown And high prices are going down I woke up in my baby’s arms To the sound of fire alarms High prices Going down I read the news and I heard it said There’s two hundred already dead High prices Going down And the king gave up his crown And high prices are going down My mind’s a buzz, a swarm of bees And I did just as I pleased High prices Going down There’s no way out, the car’s been crashed And look around, those prices slashed High prices Going down A dollar’s worth is half a Pound And high prices are going down

Ride her darken horse Her tempers lie untold It's always the same It's always the same. A customary trend, The course is laid to play. I noticed it's there, I noticed it's there, I noticed... Shoot into the darkness with your hands. Shoot into the darkness with your hands. Ride her darken horse Her tempers lie untold It's all insane It's all insane. A monster for a friend A liar to depend. I noticed it's there, I noticed it's there, I noticed... Hold her by the reins, The moon isn't far, Hold her by the reins, It's worth it to stay. Nothing stable, nothing patient here. Ride her darkened horse The pathway to the end She's all alone She's all alone. Her trust was never there It's yours she needs to hear. I noticed it's there, I noticed it's there, I noticed... Hold her by the reins, The moon isn't far, Hold her by the reins, It's worth it to stay. Hold her by the reins, The moon isn't far, Hold her by the reins, It's worth it to stay. Nothing stable, nothing patient here
