HOLLOW HEDONISM


It’­s been a long hot summer, let's get under cover
Don't try too hard to think, don't think at all
I'm not the only one staring at the sun. 
STARING AT THE SUN 

What you thought was freedom is just greed. 
GONE

I'm going nowhere
Where I am it is a lot of fun...
I know these fast cars
Will do me no good. FAST CARS

There are no colors in your eyes
There's no sunshine in your skies...
There is no tomorrow, only tonight. STATELESS


You know you're chewing bubble gum
You know what that is but you still want some
You just can't get enough of that lovey-dovey stuff. 
DISCOTHEQUE 


You said I wanna have your baby, baby
We could make something beautiful
Something that wouldn't be a problem...
Least not in Miami.
 MIAMI 


Though I can't say why
I know I've got to believe
We'll go driving in that pool
It's who you know that gets you through
The gates of the playboy mansion
Then will there be no time for sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame
Then will there be now time for shame
Then will there be now time for pain. THE 
PLAYBOY MANSION


I feel numb, I feel numb
Too much is not enough
Gimme some more, gimme some more
Of that love stuff
Too much is not enough. NUMB

I know it's tough, and you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now... my oh my. STUCK IN A MOMENT YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF
