UPDATE/EDIT
Okay, these are the official lyrics posted by Sherri.

"Taking Control"

when we get down/If we get down
we'll get up again
and we won't take it if you won't take it

you've been taking control of our lives
and you've been making us go
you've been taking control of our lives
and we wont take it if you wont take it

if we get down/when we get down
we'll get up again
and we can take the right way out of here
i'll be sure to show you again

can you find it
hiding inside

you've been making a joke of our lives
and you've been making us go

"I could be there for you"

she's made of sulfur in the night
all her friends say, "ring ring ring ring, where are you hiding?"
could you open your door

i could be there for you

love is a false dart driven into your heart

and i could be there for you

would someone please walk through with me
i've got nothing to hide, nowhere to be
why do we have to come through here
nothing leads me to you
because you are nothing what you seem
you're always looking out for me

you never contemplate that i am near
and help goes unseen
you're a cave admitting whom You choose

and I could be there for you
i will be there for you.

"Invasion"

the colorless words are burning our heels as the bright lights
of the city fade
taking the chase to curb our fear as the bloodless moon
cast's it's face

oh something's not right, i can feel it inside

you would take the breath from my throat
and you would take the cherished people that i hold

all in time you will be one of us painless, us blameless
go to sleep, this wont hurt a bit
shifting your shape to our shells

and they will try to make us forget ourselves
one by one one by one
call me crazy but they are after us
one by one one by one
you don't have to know the truth
if you believe it, i believe it too

oh something's not right, i can feel it inside

you would take the breath from my throat
and you would take the cherished people that i hold

"We feel good"

i feel so good inside and from my left side you wont take it
and from my right side you wont take it
no you wont
and let me tell you how it happened to me
i was standing alone waiting for you to come home

but you make the world go 'round and 'round
they wrote all my hopes down
i'm lost and found
and it just so happens it will happen to you too

i was so wrong about you
and first and foremost let me apologize because i realize
how unorganized my thinking was 'cause
you are so generous

i will if you will too
i'll pull if you'll pull too

"like the actors"
dust was supplied in the making of the movie
i don't mind 'cause i've got my place to share with the world
sharing and sharing all day long

the content was explicit, i don't know what was with it
i played it down and down
we fall down like the actors shot in the chest

you were young you thought you were so ugly
you wouldn't attend the costume party but you feel so
tired you feel so lonely
you try to dig your heart out of vanity

down and down, we fall down like the actors shot
in the chest

oh we're all the same, all we want is a good bit of fame
isn't it so insane, how when we fall down
our morals do the same

here's my Invasion:
The colors were, burning up his eyes
The Bright lights of the city, fade
Taking the chase to cover up your eyes?...
The ______moon cast in space

Ooh, something’s not right,
I can feel it inside,
Something’s not right

You, you, you, you,
You will take the breath from my throat,
And you, you, you, you
You will take the challenge, we go about our war

Come inside
You will be one of us painless, us brainless
Go to sleep, this won’t hurt a bit,
Shifting your shape to ourselves,

Ooh, something’s not right,
I can feel it inside,
Something’s not right

You, you, you, you,
You will take the breath from my throat,
And you, you, you, you
You will take the challenge, as we go about our war

And they will try to make us forget ourselves,
one by one, one by one,
call me crazy but they are after us,
one by one, one by one

They are after us I swear,
Do you believe it, I believe it too
They are after us I swear,
Do you believe it, I believe it too

Ooh, something’s not right,
I can feel it inside,
Something’s not right

You, you, you, you,
You will take the breath from my throat,
And you, you, you, you
You will take the challenge,we go about our war

You, you you you (And they will try to make us forget ourselves,)
You will take the breath from my throat, (one by one, one by one,)
And you, you, you, you (call me crazy but they are after us,)
You will take the challenge, as we go about our war (one by one, one by one)


and I hear the line in I feel good (the holding your arm one "The only road out of my whole town"...but It's probably wrong, except I think the whole town is right. Or she may say hotel. not sure."

OMG! I LOVE LOVE LOVE I Could Be There For You. Can't get it out of my head. It reminds me of that part of the movie From Dusk til Dawn when they introduce Salma Hayek's vampire queen character and that tribal beat starts and she does her dance of enticement or whatever. Everyone's friggin under her spell as soon as the beat starts. This song has all the same allure and lush decadence. I couldn't believe my ears upon first hearing this song. So dark and haunting. Completely connected with it. Bigtime kudos to the band for all the new songs. Just wish I could make out the words too.....

Haha, thanks Amber.


And thanks, Christophjam, for the Invasion lyrics. I did a terrible, terrible job on those.

wow....invasions,....is really rather wonderful.
it pretty much sums up the worse half of the year for me.
the lyrics look/sound pretty accurate.
I can't wait to hear them all live.

I still know barely any of the first verse but am pretty sure of the rest of it. The last line in the first verse ends in "space". That's all I knows.

I've got a few alterations to this one, too


I Could Be There For You
she's so fake(or she's faking).........?
All her friends say
Ring ring ring ring where are you hiding?
ring ring ring ring where are you hiding?
Could you open the door?
could you open the door?

I could be there for you
I could be there for you
I could be there for you
I could be there for you
Love is a ________ turning to a _______?
I could be there for you
I could be there for you
I could be there for you
I will be there for you

could someone please watch over me
i've got nothing to hide, got nowhere to be(I thought that might say nowhere to bleed, but that also sounds right)
why do we have to come through?
nothing leads me to you?

cause you are not the songs you sing
you're always looking out for me
you are not the songs you sing
you're always looking out for me

do you ever contemplate that i am near?
and help those unseen?
do you ever contemplate that I am near?
And I could be there for you
I could be there for you
I could be there for you
I could be there for you
I could be there for you
I will be there for you

i think it's "and help goes unseen". I could be wrong though.

"And help those unseen" makes it sound like it's about a ghost in love with a living person. Do you (pl.) think it could be?

I tried all of them--I refused to leave any blank spaces which is how I ended up with beautiful phrases like "plastic and as green is" and "linen plumage shoes." But it sounds like that!

I Could Be There For You

She's in so far now
All her friends say
Ring ring ring ring where are you hiding
Ring ring ring ring where are you hiding
Could you open your door oh
Could you open your door

I could be there for you
Oh I could be there for you
I could be there for you
I could be there for you oh

Love is a false start tuning to the hollow heart

I could be there for you
I could be there for you
I could be there for you
I could be there for you oh

Could someone just put through me
I've got nothing to hide nowhere to be
I do prepare to come through
'Cause nothing pleases you

'Cause you are not the words you sing
You're always looking out for me
You are not the words you sing
You're always looking out for me

You'll never contemplate that I am near
And help goes unseen
You're decayed with linen plumage shoes
And I could be there for you

I could be there for you
I could be there for you
Oh I could be there for you
I will be there for you oh

I Feel Good

I feel so good inside
From my left side you won't take it
From my right side you won't take it
No you won't

And let me tell you how it happened to me
Oh I was standing alone
Waiting for you to come home

Well you make the world go round and round
Holding your arm my hopes down
I'm lost and I'm found
Yeah it just so happens it happened to you too

Oh

And I was so wrong about you
The first informants let me apologize
'Cause I realized how unorganized
My thinking was then
You are impossibly generalized

You make the world go round and round
Holding your arm my hopes down
I'm lost and I'm found
And it just so happens it happened to you

I would you would too
I would you would too
I I can save you in this war
I

Yeah you make the world go round and round
Holding your arm my hopes down
I'm lost and I'm found
Yeah it just so happens it happened to you

Ooh I'm lost and I'm found
Yeah it just so happens it happened to you too

Invasion

Over this world I'm burning my ears as
The bright lights of the city burn
Taking my chase to come out here as
The brights lights burn past his face

Ooh something's not right
I can feel it inside
Something's not right

Woo you were taking breath from my girl
And you you were taking chances with your bad words

Ordering sky you're building your world yeah
Plastic and as green is
Going to street you swelter and then
Shifting your shape to ourselves

Ooh something's not right
I can feel it inside
Something's not right

Woo you were taking breath from my girl
You were taking chances with your bad words

They will try to make us forget ourselves
One by one one by one
Call me crazy but they are after us
One by one one by one

Their voices fill your shoe
Can you believe it I believe it too
Their miles and fill your shoe
Do you believe it is I believe it too

Ooh something's not right
I can feel it inside
Something's not right

Woo you were taking breath from my girl
You were taking chances with your bad words

Woo you were taking breath from my girl (You will try to make us forget ourselves)
You were taking chances with your bad words (One by one by one by one)

(I hope the colored titles aren't a code because if they are I don't know what I just communicated.)
