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!
