barrier behind the barrier @SONG: March Of The Artemites instrumental @SONG: This Perfect Place (Part 2) @SONG: A Letter From The Shelter well we all go down to our caverns underground and in our backyard caves we'd hear the sirens sound and we took it very well when then black rains fell when the dust came down around us we were safe and sound it was baby needs shoes the pta and barbeques and it was two-handed touch out on the white house lawn and we were nobody's fools fillin' in the swimming pools we poured concrete and steel when the neighbors had gone now we all live here together yes we all live here as one now we all share the comforts of a hole in the ground and we all remember livin' in the sun here in the shelter we heard nuclear freeze we heard first-strike strategies we heard how to pay the taxman when the big one falls we heard good guys and bad guys we heard little lies and big lies about who comes out the winners and it's not that bad at all when a madman gets a gun he's gonna point it at someone if it's up in texas tower or over there across the pond and if you step on his pride or if he hurts somewhere inside he might let one fly when his nerves are gone now we all live here together yes we all live here as one now we all share the comforts of a hole in the ground and we all remember livin' in the sun here in the shelter @SONG: What Artie Knows (Part 2) what artie knows that we don't artie does what we won't artie knows it all he knows it all @SONG: One Star Falling can a man be really sure of his spot can he hold on to the little that he thinks he's got can he look around him and trust what he sees can a woman be sure she'll still have a hime when the whole world leaves here all alone will she wake up with the flood around her knees is there one star falling? one star falling I see a man in a little back room the shades are drawn and in the gloom I see him on the floor with his head in his hands now he rises up with a vacant stare as the camera fades and leaves him there but still the image remains of a broken man needing one star falling one star falling so close your eyes and rest your head turn off the tv and go to bed will it still be there when you wake up cause danger rides on the wind tonight reason flickers like candlelight so look up to the sky and wish for luck wish for one star falling is there one star falling? @SONG: Baby's At The Door well there's something going on here in the zone today what's happening to the barrier it's fading away and artemis is missing and the night is growing cool and there where he was standin's just a little pink pool and he's simply left us on our own left us stranded in the wilderness and took away the zone no we won't need him anymore he left a basket at the orphanage the baby's at the door the baby's at the door well we all should have realized utopia can't last we should have learned a bitter lesson from the past and as I look out on the ruins we defend I can't help thinking that someday he'll come again and he's simply left us on our own left us stranded in the wilderness and took away the zone no we won't need him anymore he left a basket at the orphanage the baby's at the door the baby's at the door @SONG: Requiem @SONG: A Boy Who Can't Talk (Part 2)
