Oppenheimer s/t Lyrics

All lyrics by Oppenheimer.

01 - This Is Not A Test

Twenty-five floors up, twenty-five floors down
Until we hit the ground.
Take the stairs, take the elevator where,
It’s time to make the cut.
An adventurous boy, you’re an adventurous girl
Lets get our minds made up.

This ain’t the way to get the trouble started
Pre-empt the move to leave you broken hearted
This ain’t the way, this ain’t the way.

Unconventional means, non-emotional days
They represent your love.
Some people might say, some people like me might say
That it’s never enough.

02. This Is A Test

This is a test to register I’m a mess.
I know I’ve even been blessed, by a god above who hasn’t had enough.

But hey, there’s a way that they can make us take a bar Las Vegas
So where to go? There’s no disco in bop dead ‘Frisco
But hey, there’s a way in LA.

This is a test to choose from disco or death
I know I’ve even been blessed, by a god above who knows it’s had enough.

03. Breakfast In NYC

Summer’s in your heart and I know that you’re staying
Taking a ride, but it feels like we’re paying
For the madness that occurred with a ticket to good times
Hunter promised this, but he wasn’t ready for the

First time, standing with my friends in the bright light
Saw you going crazy on the dance floor
I’ve taken one already but I want more
This time I wanna feel it.

Breakfast in New York and I know that we’re dreaming.
Drunken conversations and the things we were scheming.
To get out of this town and take a trip underground how,
Bateman promised this, but he wasn’t ready for the

First time, standing with my friends in the bright light
Saw you going crazy on the dance floor
I’ve taken one already but I want more
This time I’m gonna feel it.

04. Ok Lets Take This Outside

Ok lets take this outside
Floating ourselves the night
Just cause you say this it don’t make it right
You’ve been bad

Armed with these looks and the quotes that you took from your favourite books
They’re just me.

Watching this structure breakdown
Collapsing towards the ground
Gravity wins but it don’t make a sound

05. My Son The Astronaut


Only when your heart is, only when your heart is
Bullet proof, bullet proof. You know you’ll be
Handling the punches, handling the punches
Quietly, quietly I know you were
Influenced by movies, influenced by movies
Watching this, watching this, is taking you to
Thinking this is real when, thinking this is real when
Happiness, happiness is all you know.

I should listen to the broadcast.

Isolation makes this, isolation makes this
Incomplete, incomplete, I believe in
Desperation when you, desperation when you
Contemplate, contemplate, that life has got you
Thinking this is real when, thinking this in real when
Loneliness, loneliness is all you know.

I should listen to the broadcast.

06. When I Close My Eyes I Fall In Love

I’ll play a character that’s written in which I must fall
Down into the silent pillow.
My will alone can’t change your tone.

Play something, be someone who
Says something, is someone true.

I’ll say a little word that’s tragic
That distils it all,
Down into this final moment.

Play something, be someone who
Says something, is someone true.

07. Allen Died, April Five

I’m not the one to believe
You were too afraid to meet
In 1993
Coming close to Christmas Eve.

IN the case of you and me
I think we found it hard to repeat
Going back back to ‘03
At the end of Christmas Eve.

In 19 Camden Street
Where the Jump Boys used to meet
It was there he took his seat
The epic tone of beat.

08. Nine Words


Nine words in, ink on skin
Justification of the choice you made then
Nine words on, pages torn
Clarification of the choice you made then.

Come on you know your heart’s still beating
Always when you’re felling
Strung out recalling eyes first meeting
Always when you’re dreaming.

09. M.O.


Circles and I’m watching the sparks
You’re traveling into the dark
The night you swore your heart nearly bled
I saw a part of you that’s already dead.

I’ve heard places and times they’ve got their own M.O.
Tear the surface let’s go looking below.
I’ve heard faces and signs they’ve got their own M.O.
Hiding secrets they don’t want you to know.

Circles in the centre ain’t there
Seeing messages from wide open stares
Red appears and you’re walking in you
She’s got a cousin that reminds me of you.


Reflections on a fictional mind
Stranger nights with her by my side
Circles split and you’re making your mark
You’re traveling into the dark

11. Time Loss/Gain

Take off after many delays,
Scientific observational ways
With time loss time gain
Maps change but the colours remain the same.

New York city streets.
L. A. city streets.
London city streets
Belfast city streets.

Stare downs on this kind of Velvet underground put aside
These petty concerns and the fact you’ll never learn
People change but the faces remain the same on

New York city streets.
L. A. city streets.
London city streets
Belfast city streets.

13. Saturday Looks Bad To Me.

When the city’s asleep you want to go up to the subway to make your way downtown
Friends that you know they are searching for this band who write songs about girlfriends.

Pop pop music you know you’re gonna lose it soon,
Because Saturday nights are over just before I look.
Rock rock music you know you’re gonna cruise it soon
Because Saturday nights are over just before I look.

When the city’s awake you wanna go down to the subway to make your way uptown.
Friends that you they are writing for this girl that has books about boyfriends.

14. This Kiss When


Playing Russian Roulette.
I will fear I will regret.
Put it back in the sky.
Clearly high states of mind.

What now has passed it will never return.

Anodyne hands of mine, they will tremble with fear

When you rewind the dream
You will get to the scene.
You said lets put it pause.
It’s all effect and cause .

Erase the past it will never return.

Anodyne hands of mine, they will trace all these tears.

Feeling people in clouds.
Damn it we want it loud.
Hit Ctrl/Alt/Delete.
I think we’re losing the beat.

Anodyne lips of mine, the sparks fall from the sky.
