Title: Radial Highway (Acoustic Version)

Artist: Devin Townsend

Album: Unplugged (Originally from “Contain Us - Stuff That Was Almost Stuff” and planned for “Ghost II″)

Transcribed lyrics below:

Driving all night my hands wet on the wheel.. There’s a voice in my head that drives my heel.. Baby she called, said she needs me here.. It’s half past four and I’m shifting gear.. All night..

Sweet little devil got a hold on me.. All over my body, won't let me be.. Oh her love is black and cruel.. Ghosts in my head don’t need you, fool..

Honor me baby, Honor me all night long.. Honor me baby, Honor me with a song.. Honor me baby, Honor me all night long.. Honor me baby, Honor me with a song..

‘Cause I’m on.. I’m on.. I’m on the radial highway.. I’m on.. I’m on.. I’m on the radial highway

Soon you will bow down, down.. (It's okay.. You’re just lost..)

(Turn up, no do.. do, do help.. Turn up, do, do.. do-oo help.. )

Take the money, honey, Take the money, honey, Take the money and run.. Take the money, honey, Take the money, honey, Take the money and run.. Take the money, honey, Take the money, honey, Take the money and run.. Take the money, honey, Take the money, honey, Take the money and run..

Sweet little Satan sets me free.. All over my body won’t let me be.. Oh his love is black and cruel.. The ghost in my head just played you fool..

Honor me baby Honor me all night long.. Honor me baby Honor me with a song.. Honor me baby Honor me all night long.. Honor me baby Honor me with the morn..

'Cause I’m on, I’m on, I’m on the radial highway.. I’m on, I’m on, I’m on the radial highway.. I’m on, I’m on, I’m on the radial highway..   I’m on, I’m on, I’m on the radial highway..

[Outro has a small instrumental nod to “Sister” from “Ocean Machine: Biomech”]

Title: Dinosaurs

Artist: The Devin Townsend Project

Album:  Contain Us - (Bonus track from Vinyl)

Trivia: Dinosaurs shares some lyrics with The Mighty Masturbator (Deconstruction) (And can be interpreted to contain the same metaphor of human-kind, as having evolved from ancient creatures, but still retain our bestial ego and selfishness in spite of cultural attempts at repressing it.)

Transcribed lyrics below:

Elephant, and you know you're the only, Element, and you're told that it's only, Relevant, if you're only the lonely fool..

Relevant, while you know you're corroding. The intelligence, says it's only the road but, You're arrogant, after all that you've been through..

You're so damn cheeky.

Oh my daddy built this home and, I'll be damned if you're gonna take it alone..

..I'll be damned..

Elephant! Yeah you're old and you know it! Irrelevant! And you're told that you wrote it! To hell with this! 'Cause we know that you're only fuel..! And this is so damn easy!

Slow dog comin' to steal your bone and You're on and on as you've always done.. But oh my god you’ve gotta give it some more, well; We're all evolved in dinosaurs!

We all want it, hey, don't talk about it. We all want it, hey, we are, we are! We all want it, hey, don't talk about it. We all want it, hey, we are, we are!

We all want it, hey, don't talk about it. (WE ARE.. WE'RE ALL DINOSAURS!)

We all want it, hey, we are, we are! (..HEY!)

We all want it, hey, don't talk about it. (WE'RE ALL DINOSAURS!)

We all want it, hey, we are, we are! (..HEY!) (..Mine..!)

Ladies and gentlemen.. Come to mind.. From the center of time.. Humans rejoicing.. Please, feel free..

..HEY!

YES! WE PRAISE SATAN! HE LIVES INSIDE OF OUR HEARTS! WE PRAISE SATAN! HE LIVES INSIDE OF OUR HEARTS!

We all want it, hey, don't talk about it. (WE'RE ALL DINOSAURS!)

We all want it, hey, we are, we are! (..OOAH HEY!)

We all want it, hey, don't talk about it. (WE'RE ALL DINOSAURS!)

We all want it, hey, we are, we are! (..OOAH HEY!!)

We all want it, hey, don't talk about it. (..WE PRAISE SATAN!)

We all want it, hey, we are, we are! (..HE LIVES INSIDE OF OUR HEARTS!)

We all want it, hey, don't talk about it. (..WE PRAISE SATAN!)

We all want it, hey, we are, we are! (..HE LIVES INSIDE OF OUR HEARTS!)

aaAaaAaa-aa-AA-aa-AA-aa-aa-AA-AA-aa-aa-AA-AA-aa-aa-A-A-aOH..!

Title: Pandemic (Demo version)

Artist: The Devin Townsend Project

Album:  Contain Us - Stuff That Was Stuff Before It Was Finished Stuff (Finished version on Deconstruction)

Transcribed lyrics below:

Wandering soul of mine! Wandering in time! Wandering soul of mine!

WHY!?! (OOO-O-OOOH!) WHY!?! (OOO-O-OOOH!)

So, we now all go insane but.. (OOO-O-OOOH!)

Soon we are all.. through.. (OOOH..!)

I, I, I only would! I, I, I probably would!

Through the rise, delay the river glows.. (OOO-O-OOO-OOOH!)

I'll hear you out why, threw you away..! (OOO-O-OOO-OOOH!)

DIE!!

Woe in time, woe in time! Would you break apart?! Fall in time, woe in time! Want to read a poem!

Pandemic! (Pandemic!) Pandemic! (Pandemic!) We are.. ALL! ..Here comes the truth!!

SING!!

(There is nothing in the mind that comes beyond nature. All we are in religion and spirituality, every mind. Every man on the Earth.. We are all programmed. This is my spiritual purpose.)

I, I, I probably would! I, I.. I.. I..!

..Soon

Wandering soul of mine! Wandering in time! Wandering soul of mine! (WANDERING SOUL OF MINE!)

Title: Coast (Demo)

Artist: The Devin Townsend Project

Album: Contain Us - Stuff That Was Stuff Before It Was Finished Stuff (Finished version on Ki)

Transcribed lyrics below: 

The way it goes.. Is the way it goes.. I’m all right to go.. So go.. You go.. (You go..)

They took their things and headed for the coast.. Denied of all in life they needed most.. Loves forgotten child.. Born into the wild..

Come to the coast, Come to the coast, Come to the coast, It will find you..

The fallout from the California glow.. Toronto’s frozen over, this every man should know.. I’ve forgotten now.. Won’t you show me how?

Come to the coast, Come to the coast, Come to the coast, It will find you..

Come to the coast, Come to the coast, Come to the coast, It will find you..

Come..

So run away, so run away from here.. Just run away, just run away my dear.. ‘Cause love’s forgotten child.. So go into the wild..

Come..

(Coast..)
