I'm pretty bad at this but I gave it a shot.
I used this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK0-P_-WJXU


Invasion

The colors were burning our heels
As the bright lights of the city fade.
Taking the chase to curb our fear
As the breathless moon cast in space.

Oooh, something's not right,
I can feel it inside,
Something's not right.

And you, you,
You will take the breath from my throat.
And you, you,
You will take the cherished people that I hold.

And all in time ,
You will be one of us painless, us brainless.
Go to sleep,
This won't hurt a bit, shifting your shape to ourselves.

Oooh, something's not right,
I can feel it inside,
something's not right.

And you, you,
You will take the breath from my throat.
And you, you,
You will take the cherished people that I hold.

They will try to make us forget ourselves,
One by one, one by one.
Call me crazy but they are after us,
One by one, one by one.

You don't have to know the truth,
Do you believe it? I believe it too.
You don't have to know the truth,
If you believe it, I believe it too.

Oooh, something's not right,
I can feel it inside,
Something's not right.

And you, you,
You will take the breath from my throat.
And you, you,
You will take the cherished people that I hold.

And you, you, (And they will try to make us)
You will take the breath from my throat. (Forget ourselves, one by one, one by one)
And you, you, (Call me crazy but they are)
You will take the cherished people that I hold. (After us, one by one, one by one.)

I can't get that line that might be about the moon in Invasion. Is anyone else having trouble with that one?

here's the new lyrics with incessant repeats omited.

"Taking Control"

when we get down/If we get down
we'll get up again
and we won't take it if you won't take it

you've been taking control of our lives
and you've been making us go
you've been taking control of our lives
and we wont take it if you wont take it

if we get down/when we get down
we'll get up again
and we can take the right way out of here
i'll be sure to show you again

can you find it
hiding inside

you've been making a joke of our lives
and you've been making us go

"I could be there for you"

she's made of sulfur in the night
all her friends say, "ring ring ring ring, where are you hiding?"
could you open your door

i could be there for you

love is a false dart driven into your heart

and i could be there for you

would someone please walk through with me
i've got nothing to hide, nowhere to be
why do we have to come through here
nothing leads me to you
because you are nothing what you seem
you're always looking out for me

you never contemplate that i am near
and help goes unseen
you're a cave admitting whom You choose

and I could be there for you
i will be there for you.

"Invasion"

the colorless words are burning our heels as the bright lights
of the city fade
taking the chase to curb our fear as the bloodless moon
cast's it's face

oh something's not right, i can feel it inside

you would take the breath from my throat
and you would take the cherished people that i hold

all in time you will be one of us painless, us blameless
go to sleep, this wont hurt a bit
shifting your shape to our shells

and they will try to make us forget ourselves
one by one one by one
call me crazy but they are after us
one by one one by one
you don't have to know the truth
if you believe it, i believe it too

oh something's not right, i can feel it inside

you would take the breath from my throat
and you would take the cherished people that i hold

"We feel good"

i feel so good inside and from my left side you wont take it
and from my right side you wont take it
no you wont
and let me tell you how it happened to me
i was standing alone waiting for you to come home

but you make the world go 'round and 'round
they wrote all my hopes down
i'm lost and found
and it just so happens it will happen to you too

i was so wrong about you
and first and foremost let me apologize because i realize
how unorganized my thinking was 'cause
you are so generous

i will if you will too
i'll pull if you'll pull too

"like the actors"
dust was supplied in the making of the movie
i don't mind 'cause i've got my place to share with the world
sharing and sharing all day long

the content was explicit, i don't know what was with it
i played it down and down
we fall down like the actors shot in the chest

you were young you thought you were so ugly
you wouldn't attend the costume party but you feel so
tired you feel so lonely
you try to dig your heart out of vanity

down and down, we fall down like the actors shot
in the chest

oh we're all the same, all we want is a good bit of fame
isn't it so insane, how when we fall down
our morals do the same

I kept reading those and thinking they were just someone's guesses, and having to remind myself they were the genuine lyrics. Very Happy
