Ludens (Live in Tokyo)

[Verse 1]
Some resist the future, some refuse the past
Either way, it's fucked up if we can't unplug the fact
That a world covered in cables was never wired to last
So don't act so surprised when the program starts to crash

[Pre-Chorus]
(How do I) Form a connection when we can't even shake hands?
You're like a phantom greeting me
We plot in the shadows, hang out in the gallows
How are we feeling?

[Chorus]
Do you know why the flowers never bloom?
Will you retry or let the pain resume?
I need a new leader, we need a new Luden
(A new Luden, new Luden, yeah)
So come outside, it's time to see the tide
It's out of sight, but never out of mind
I need a new leader, we need a new Luden
Tokyo!

[Verse 2]
Sticks and stones may break my bones but soon the sting will pass
But names will make me blow the brains out of all the kids in class
And I don't feel secure no more unless I'm being followed
And the only way to hide myself is to give 'em a hell of a show

[Pre-Chorus]
(How do I) Form a connection when we can't even shake hands?
You're like a phantom greeting me
We plot in the shadows, hang out in the gallows
Stuck in a loop for eternity

[Chorus]
Do you know why the flowers never bloom?
Will you retry or let the pain resume?
I need a new leader, we need a new Luden
(A new Luden, new Luden, yeah)
So come outside, it's time to see the tide
It's out of sight, but never out of mind
I need a new leader, we need a new Luden
A new Luden, new Luden, yeah
A new Luden, new Luden, yeah
A new Luden, new Luden, yeah
A new Luden, new Luden, yeah
Yeah

[Breakdown]
Alright, you call this a connection?
You call this a connection?
You call this a connection?
You call this a connection?
Give me a break
Oh, give me a break
Oh, give me a break (Okay)
Ugh, ooh
Make some noise, Tokyo!

[Chorus]
Do you know why the flowers never bloom?
Will you retry or let the pain resume?
I need a new leader, we need a new Luden, come on
(A new Luden, new Luden, yeah)
So come outside, it's time to see the tide
It's out of sight, but never out of mind
I need a new leader, we need a new Luden
One more time, Tokyo!
A new Luden, new Luden, yeah
A new Luden, new Luden, yeah
A new Luden, new Luden, yeah
A new Luden, new Luden, yeah

[Outro]
Do you know why the flowers never bloom?
Will you retry or let the pain resume?
I need a new leader, we need a new Luden
Arigato gozaimasu!
