mr3 when Icarus and Quelle T get together, sure they put their pants on one leg at a time like the rest of us, but once their pants are on they make gold freakin records baby

nightrazor Icarus is bringing the beautiful funk with this track. If you did a black mass over a Star Trek transporter and then sent Carpenter Brut, Daft Punk and Bootsy Collins through an ion storm to planet Thomas Dolby, the mashed-up combined resulting musical genius would only ever aspire to making this album. Favorite track: title track.

lebchen This is a superb album of synthpop excellence! I especially like Ghouls and Chasing Stars, but what really stood out is All Your Friends with really enjoyable vocals! Favorite track: All Your Friends.

cybercomrade Beautiful funky production and great vocals.
Icarus is the greatest artist in genre and deserves much more recognition
Favorite track: Machine Heart Pt. II.

Sound that keeps repeating Heart that won't stop beating Stains of rust inside my chest Outlived my creator Meant for something greater Worst mistake you ever made I'm living easy baby I'm feeding off the cash and fame Feels just like lucid dreaming A clickbait in a hollow frame Can't decode what I see All the images of me Tried pulling it apart Can't get rid of my machine heart I decode what I see All the images of me Tried ripping it apart Can't get rid of this machine heart Eyes that seem appealing Might resemble feelings Never trust a pretty face It's not symbiotic Three laws of robotics I'm still stuck inside a loop I'm living easy baby I'm feeding off the cash and fame Feels just like lucid dreaming A clickbait in a hollow frame Can't decode what I see All the images of me Tried pulling it apart Can't get rid of my machine heart I decode what I see All the images of me Tried ripping it apart Can't get rid of this machine heart Can't decode what I see All the images of me Tried pulling it apart Can't get rid of my machine heart I decode what I see All the images of me Tried ripping it apart Can't get rid of this machine heart Sound that keeps repeating Heart that won't stop beating Stains of rust inside my chest Sound that keeps repeating Heart that won't stop beating Stains of rust inside my chest

It's been so long since i last felt you Now I'm just holding on I'm waiting here under the moonlight Now I'm just holding on I live for the moments when the lightning strikes Mighty clouds right before my eyes In a minute I will see them rise So I keep on holding on Keep on holding on I'm waiting for some thunder tonight The radiance, of lightning Every time the lights break apart I'm dancing in the dark alone The air is charged, my hairs are standing So I'm just holding on It's electricity I'm craving So I'm just holding on I live for the moments when the lightning strikes Mighty clouds right before my eyes In a minute I will see them rise I'm waiting for some thunder tonight The radiance, of lightning Every time the lights break apart I'm dancing in the dark alone I'm waiting for some thunder tonight The radiance, of lightning Every time the lights break apart I'm dancing in the dark alone I'm waiting for some thunder tonight The radiance, of lightning Every time the lights break apart I'm dancing in the dark alone Can you feel? Can you feel? Can you feel it coming? The thunder, the lightning, the sky splits open for me Can you feel? Can you feel? Can you feel it? I'm dancing in the dark alone
3.	Ghouls 04:01	lyrics	buy track
Champagne Shoot across the sky Nothing but good times The world's ours tonight Reminiscence Memories of past Might show what's to come Better learn from it fast Go ahead and call me a cynic But some things just won't last The hours turn into minutes The worst is yet to come Summer days Slowly turn into darkness I notice As the ghouls Are reaching out through the night for me Summer days Slowly turn into darkness It's hopeless As the ghouls Are dragging me back into the night Handshakes Knives behind the back Dressing me up They're in it for blood Losing Color Feeling a bit cold I'm pale as a corpse But I'm wearing their crown Go ahead and call me a cynic But some things just won't last The hours turn into minutes The worst is yet to come Summer days Slowly turn into darkness I notice As the ghouls Are reaching out through the night for me Summer days Slowly turn into darkness It's hopeless As the ghouls Are dragging me back into the night Summer days Slowly turn into darkness I notice As the ghouls Are reaching out through the night for me Summer days Slowly turn into darkness It's hopeless As the ghouls Are dragging me back into the night

As I was waiting in the car For you to call Something caught my eye I saw them burning in the sky Then flicker out And fade into the night If the stars Were to fall I would sit In the dark Can't get this off my mind Will you stay with me tonight? If just for a while Heaven knows I've tried To get out of my mind Lost in the dark, searching for sparks They fade away But I'm still holding on I'm Spinnin' round the speed of sound This sphere called Earth No place to getaway If the stars Were to fall I would sit In the dark Can't get this off my mind Will you stay with me tonight? If just for a while Heaven knows I've tried To get out of my mind If the stars Were to fall I would sit In the dark Will you stay with me tonight? If just for a while Heaven knows I've tried To get out of my mind

I got a voice in the back of my head Tried fighting it off but it just keeps on calling, calling When I try to scream My lungs collapse Imploding in the dark Surrounding me Come save me I'm still alive The nights are getting longer Come save me Still feel alive I don't know how much longer Still getting lost in the back of my head, drifting I try to get out but I keep on falling, falling When I try to scream My lungs collapse, Imploding in the dark Surrounding me I better run for cover Come save me I'm still alive The nights are getting longer Come save me Still feel alive I don't know how much longer I better run for cover I better run for cover I got a voice in the back of my head Still getting lost in the back of my head Come save me I'm still alive The nights are getting longer Come save me Still feel alive I don't know how much longer I'm still alive Come save me I better run for cover Still feel alive Come save me I better run for cover I better run for cover I better run for cover

As the shadows pass me by Nostalgia's on my mind And there's a reason why I drive Tonight Now I'm Waiting for the echoes Moments of twilight Take me away To the sound of echoes Moments of past times Slipping away Waiting for the echoes Moments of twilight Take me away To the sound of echoes Moments of past times Slipping away I'm coming home As nostalgia fills my heart Headlights guide me through the dark And there's a reason why I drive Tonight Now I'm Waiting for the echoes Moments of twilight Take me away To the sound of echoes Moments of past times Slipping away Waiting for the echoes Moments of twilight Take me away To the sound of echoes Moments of past times Slipping away I'm coming home As the shadows pass me by Nostalgia's on my mind And there's a reason why I drive Tonight Now I'm

Here Underneath the deep blue sky Clouds Passing by from time to time I think I've found some peace of mind I, I just might stay here for a while Letting go Letting go Going somewhere I don't know Letting go Letting go I can feel it in my bones Here Underneath the pitch-black sky Stars Shooting past from time to time I think I've found some peace of mind So, I just might stay here for a while Letting go Letting go Going somewhere I don't know Letting go Letting go I can feel it in my bones It just so might happen This is where I will remain I could stay forever Still, I guess I'd be okay Letting go Letting go Going somewhere I don't know Letting go Letting go I can feel it in my bones

When it's too dark for you to see You'll be close to me I give you an opportunity A sense of liberty, liberty Say my name in the dark Now you're in, haven't you heard? Meet my friends, we're all here You don't need to feel like dancing You better keep on dancing We'll be here for one more song You don't need to feel like singing You better keep on singing We'll be your friends if you sing our song You wanted to be blinded by the light You creature of the night You wanted a different kind of game But the rules are still the same Say my name in the dark There's no out, haven't you heard? Meet my friends, we're still here You don't need to feel like dancing You better keep on dancing We'll be here for one more song You don't need to feel like singing You better keep on singing We'll be your friends if you sing our song When you're facing your darkest hour We'll be right here by your side You know, all your friends are here And we're watching As you lose your grip We're watching You don't need to feel like dancing You better keep on dancing We'll be here for one more song You don't need to feel like singing You better keep on singing We'll be your friends if you sing our song All your friends are here and we're watching As you lose your grip we're here watching All your friends are here and we're watching As you lose your grip we're here watching

Remember when We used to stay Out all night, we used to dream away Time has passed and so did you and me We're no longer seventeen A midnight call Thinking about you I'm trying to Stay In touch A midnight call Thinking about you I'm trying to Stay In touch So I heard You could not stay Persued your dreams Two states away Years have passed and so did you and me We're no longer twenty-three A midnight call Thinking about you I'm trying to Stay In touch A midnight call Thinking about you I'm trying to Stay In touch Guess we're no longer thirty-three A midnight call (So I call) Thinking about you (I'm thinking about you) I'm trying to Stay In touch (Stay in touch) So I call (So I call) Thinking about you (Thinking about you) I'm trying to Stay In touch A midnight call (A midnight call) I'm trying to (Thinking bout you) Stay in touch (Stay in touch) Stay in touch (Stay in touch) Stay in touch (Stay in touch with you)

There is still time Scale the walls And bring us closer Reaching for the roof Counting stars It's like they're waiting When we're looking at the streetlights Below so bright They're burning in the dark just Like you and I Remember why you came here? With me tonight Let's dance the night away I know, you don't want to show your scars We could dance in the dark, we could be chasing stars I know, you don't want to show your scars We could dance in the dark, so let's go chasing stars We could dance in the dark, so let's go chasing stars We could dance in the dark, so let's go chasing stars I know that you've been hurt, hurt before Oh, I should know But we can take it slow Catch some stars Under the moonlight When we're looking at the streetlights Below so bright They're burning in the dark just Like you and I I know, you don't want to show your scars We could dance in the dark, we could be chasing stars I know, you don't want to show your scars We could dance in the dark, so let's go chasing stars I know, you don't want to show your scars We could dance in the dark, we could be chasing stars I know, you don't want to show your scars We could dance in the dark, so let's go chasing stars When we're looking at the streetlights Below so bright Remember They're burning in the dark just Like you and I Remember When we're looking at the streetlights Below so bright Remember They're burning in the dark just Like you and I Remember
