19. Silence Means Be Quiet
Refrain:
Breathe or die.
No time for bitter contemplation
No time to look back.
[scattering voices hushing, whispering]
Silence means be QUIET. -

17. Dance With Echoes
All around me,
From out of His crushing iron grip,
They dance around us,
They feast, their appetite for my body,
My mind,
My spirit,
They come for me.I wake up,
But it wasn't at all a dream.
It couldn't have been,
Yet the echoes continue to return. -

15. Legal Operation
[tick-tock instrumental during fly-thru of plantation]
[white slaves, occasional vocals, working in clockwork fashion]

And I need some dolla bills, son.
A hundred G's,
Shooting for another million. -

Get in, for the shimmer is fine,
Down in the Cockatoo Sanctuary,
Where "weird" is our currency of exchange
All along the valleys and mountain range. -
12. Exit House Left

It's time for me to take off and go.
Sorry, my friends and fans,
For the future is out of my hands.
And I don't wanna leave town,
But it's time for me to go now.
For this mess I cannot bear.
I need God and the crisp, fresh air. -
