I don't care what you do
I'm getting out , no nothing ever shames me.
Don't wanna think from you
I'm going out, don't care if you're angry.
I'm getting out, no nothing ever shames me.
I'm going out, I don't care if you're angry.
I should have thought things through
I'm holding out, no not getting an answer.
I wanna do right by you
I'm finding out, cheating gets it faster.
I'm holding out, but not getting an answer.
I'm finding out, cheating gets it faster.
I'm holding out, but not getting an answer

I don't care what you do

I'm going out, I don't care if you're angry
I holding out, not getting an answer
I'm finding out, cheating gets it faster.
Please let's not get into this tonight

Now don't you go think it's love?

"Is tomorrow just a day like all the rest."
How could you know just what you did?
So full of faith yet so full of doubt I ask.
Time and time again you said don't be afraid.
"If you believe you can do it."
The only voice I want to hear is yours.
Again.
I shall ask you this once again.
And again.
He said:
" I am but one small instrument."
Do you remember that?
So here I am above palm trees so straight and tall.
You are smaller, getting smaller.
Phase in phase out.
Cross your heart crash burn and fall.
Under cushions hide the change.
So no one knows.
Just be careful who you tell.
I really want to care when you say : "I'll change that".
I just don't feel a thing when you say: "We'll get there..."
"Straight outta Phoenix boys."
Stay up late and listen in.
Trading insult for your time.
It breaks my heart in half to see her jumping up and down screaming:
"Cash in honey, cash in now."
Lift your hands up slow.
If only you could see yourself.
Everything you are immitate and water down.
lf Just because you'll never have your politics with perfect means,
doesn't mean you talk the round and round.
Forsdale's syringe is wearing so thin.
Lift your hands up slow.
If only you could see yourself.
Everything we are immitate and water down.
They'll never know your world no matter how they try.
It's your world.
Never know, they'll never know your world
Are you gonna live your life wonderin' standing in the back lookin' around?
Are you gonna waste your time thinkin' how you've grown up or how you missed out?
Things are never gonna be the way you want.
Where's it gonna get you acting serious?
Things are never gonna be quite what you want.
Or even at 25, you gotta start sometime.
I'm on my feet, I'm on the floor, I'm good to go.
Now all I need is just to hear a song I know.
I wanna always feel like part of this was mine.
I wanna fall in love tonight.
Are you gonna live your life standing in the back looking around?
Are you gonna waste your time?
Gotta make a move or you'll miss out.
Someone's gonna ask you what it's all about.
Stick around nostalgia won't let you down.
Someone's gonna ask you what it's all about.
Whatcha gonna have to say for yourself?
I'm on my feet, I'm on the floor, I'm good to go.
Now all I need is just to hear a song I know.
I wanna always feel like part of this was mine.
I wanna fall in love tonight.
Crimson and clover, over and over.
Crimson and clover, over and over.
Our house in the middle of the street, why did we ever meet?
Started my rock 'n roll fantasy.
Don't don't, don't let's start, why did we ever part?
Kick start my rock 'n rollen heart.
I'm on my feet, I'm on the floor, I'm good to go.
So come on Davey, sing me somethin' that I know.
I wanna always feel like part of this was mine.
I wanna fall in love tonight.
Here tonight.
I wanna always feel like part of this was mine
I wanna fall in love tonight.
I got lonely and 32 times whose been in jail.
I love stealing, I love feeling watched by you.
And I will never go down downtown.
And I will always have my head held down.
Can see it in your eyes, everything's on fire.
I think I did it.
What you looking at?
They'll kicked the gas.
It's not a game.
Dirty dirty dirty dirty me you'll see.
Can't be always looking behind my back, it's a trap.
And I will never go down downtown.
And I will always have my head held down.
Can see it in your eyes, everything's on fire.
I think I did it
What you looking at?
He'll kick the gas.
It's not a game.
And I will never go down downtown.
She's perfect in her own way.
Smoke rings rising to the winter grey.
Shining, stepping off a silver train.
She's amazing in her own way.
Always moving to a better place
Laughing, you won't get to her better traits.
I'm getting that sick taste in my mouth
from the medicine I can't keep down.
You know time heals nothing by itself.
I see that ever so clearly now.
The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center.
Take it slow and make it softer.
Easy likes it nice and steady.
She looks just a little bit different now.
Save the wrapping for another.
Dressing doesn't mean a thing to me.
Submission for a ladder rung. You decide what you're used for,
you decide.
I know what you are, what you are.
I'm glad you found the time to ring.
I just spent all day waiting.
I need to know what's happening.
Well at least we both agree.
Really don't know where to start.
Did you say you met some neighbor.
I guess I'm headed for a broken heart.
Why are you doing this to me?
It's so clear.
I can hear, and i'm not gonna share you with no one.
Surprise, I've got eyes, now goodbye.
How long have you had this planned?
Guess it shows how much you care.
Now I understand how I just played the fool.
Sure I'm gonna let you go.
I was wrong to ever trust you.
Don't think that you'll ever know how you could be so cruel.
It's so clear.
I can hear, and i'm not gonna share you with no one.
Hung up here on a web of comfort.
Taking off with nowhere to go.
Standing tall with but your new cloak armor.
Making out like it's all been done.
It's harder than it seems.
You slip but never fall.
They'll take you, when you wont come back to me.
Tearing down what we built up so well.
Layin low as you came my way.
Look alive with your head on backwards, goin off when there's nothin wrong.
It's only in your dreams, but it felt like it was real.
They'll take you, when you won't come back to me.
Hang loose, my friend dont walk away from me,
because i really think you're cool.
Is it worth turning back despite these open hands?
You're tearing me apart.
They'll take you, when you won't come back to me.
20 million miles away like something coming in.
A tidal wave from outer space and it's so near.
Step out of moving up you better stay on guard.
One defender disappeared and we want him back.
What are the kids going to be like in history?
It's all the same fortunate I'm still around.
Science can tell.
Got it all wrong.
The 18 in 86 it focused in our minds.
Wake up take up kill us all I'm grown.
Step on up. moving up you better stay on guard.
One defender disappeared and we want him back.
What are the kids going to be like in history?
It's all the same, fortunate I'm still around.
Science can tell.
Where you're hiding, the shine off the wall.
Stop giving it up now cause you're gonna find yourself a mastermind in time.
Rockstar, what's mine is yours.
Rockstar, you're looking good.
You're looking to find a fight.
I'm the stranger here you know.
Can't you understand that things always work out my way today.
Rockstar, what's mine is yours.
Rockstar, you're looking good.
You're looking to find a fight.
Rockstar. Rockstar.
Get off my battlefield.
You could not take it back from me.
It's all the way up top.
Cannot take a longer way.
Get off my battlefield.
Could not take it back from you.
It's all the way up top.
Cannot take a longer way.
That's all.
It's all.
Can't fall Away.
Leave home today.
escape your region.
it's in your head, keep moving on.
become your dad.
live unquestioned.
it's in your head, nostalgia is death.
choose starlight.
no way to retrace.
it is gone.
choose star bright.
no way to retrace.
it is gone.
no way to retrace all your good days add them up.
it is gone.
none of you knew any more then. leave it here.
it is gone.
can't depend on honest answers from dependent hands.
won't accept an honest answer from an open hand.
say the words and i sign off.
Play your hand.
don't play it off.
don't play that game.
out of touch.
there is no pride in seconds lost.
first cello suite.
I know I'm late.
what do you care.
stop dragging feet.
we can't go back for seconds lost.
smooth the sheets.
no one was here and never will.
wind your watch for seconds gone.
drive by don't stop.
hate wins don't stop.
guilt won't let you because you let it.
Porch light alone as you stepped out.You stepped out.It made a silhouette of your head, then you walked down.
Still sitting there with your legs crossed,
not paying attention to me.
If we talk, just curious, would this end up like it always does?
All the wrong I've done.
All the wrong I'll do.
Keeps me from trying.
It keeps me quiet.
Throw out your arms to each side.
It's easier to let things go.
When we talk think what we say: there's questons then silence and
in silence we remain.
All the wrong I've done and all the wrong I'll do.
It keeps me from trying.
Keeps me from calling you.
Something I just found out.
Something you know by now.
Hope makes you so strong.
Strength keeps you alone and far away
It's how the hustles goes
See what the jukebox knows
Put my last quarter on
I play "Authority Song"
Honesty or mystery?
Tell me I'm not scared anymore
I got no secret purpose
I don't seem obvious
Do I-I-I-I-I?
Do I-I-I-I-I?
I don't seem obvious
Do I-I-I-I-I?
Do I-I-I-I-I?

The DJ never has it
J M C automatic
(Do I-I-I-I-I?)
If those were Roy's headphones
You bet he plays "What Goes On"
(Do I-I-I-I-I?)
Honesty or mystery?

Do I-I-I?
Ah, well, I'm here
That means something doesn't it?
Uh-huh, won't you dance with me a little bit?
Ah-ah, you don't notice
I guess the music's too lou-ou-oud
It's how the hustles goes
See what the jukebox knows (do I-I-I-I-I)
(Do I-I-I-I-I)
Put my last quarter on
I play "Authority Song" (do I-I-I-I-I)

Say anything you want, I'm ready

My intentions are growing but going nowhere,
going nowhere near here.
Seen it all once
but lost it inside of something been pulled over my heart.
And you think you've seen it all
but you wonder where I go.
I've been growing right side of wrong.
It's too late.
You're too late.
What happens in my question
am I just splat out, splat out of luck?
And you think you've seen it all
but you wonder where I go.
I've been growing right side of wrong.
It's too late.
We left behind the busy crowd.
So it seems we slow down.
Meet me with a way out through the lies.
Nowhere, going nowhere in the fake yellow light.
The feelings change so fast.
Safety scares them away.
I can't bring myself to say it's my own advice I need.
Nowhere and then nowhere.
Living trapped inside the chase.
Our weekness is the same.
We need poison sometimes.
So take another drink with me.
Blame no one.
Sweep the dirty stairs, the ones I waited on.
This is just for me.
I felt it watching her.
It happens too fast to make sense of it.
To make it last.
Where do you intend to go with your dirty dress?
Lead my skeptic sight to the table and the light.
It happened too fast to make sense of it.
To make it last.
Not asking of me anything, saying nothing about what it means,
without anybody telling me how I should feel,
Ramina has no lyrics. It's instrumental. ;)
You told me don't you look at the sun,
it burns your eyes out.
I disobeyed and see a man who's going nowhere.
He fed me this: you don't got to worry, you're on your feet.
Please help me down.
Should have made room for others who can't be beat into open sea.
I brainstormed and caught up with my friend who's doing fine now.
It's been uplifting knowing you all have static sources.
I fed him this: man, am I in a hurry to break this chord of our paranoia.
Took him too long to notice and now I'm down where I can't be found.
And there's no antidote for a petty loaf.
I think we've found the lighter side of our friendly host.
I'm not worried about my life, it's too big.
Carpet stains on the ground and I think
I've found a way out downstairs turn around.
Wake me, take me up upside down.
Head down, lay down.
No one is ever around when I need them most.
Ricochet, right now.
I'm not worried about my life, it's too big.
Carpet stains on the ground and I thought I found a way out
Downstairs turn around.
Wake me, take me up upside down.
Hands down, lay down.
No one is ever around when I need them most.
This time it's on my own.
Minutes from somewhere else.
Somewhere I made a wish with Lucky Denver Mint.
Hurry go on ahead.
Good things won't let you wait.
I'll catch up when we get home.
At home I'll leave.
A dollar under water keeps on dreaming for me.
You're not bigger than this, not better.
I see it around me, I see it in everything.
I could be so much more than this.
I said my goodbye's this is my sundown.
I'm gonna be so much more than this.
With one hand high, you'll show them your progress.
You'll take your time, but no one cares.
No one cares.
I need you to show me the way from crazy.
I wanna be so much more than this.
With one hand high, you'll show them your progress.
You'll take your time, but no one cares.
With one hand high, you'll show them your progress.
You'll take your time, but no one cares.
No one cares.
I could be so much more than this.
No one cares.
I wanna be so much more than this.
No one cares.
I could be so much more than this.
No one cares.
I wanna be so much more than this.
No one cares.
I wanna be so much more than this.
No one cares.
I wanna be so much more than this.
Good Goodbye, lovely time
Good Goodbye, tinsel shine
Good Goodbye, I'll be fine
Could've been a night like any other
One of us has to drive
One of us gets to think
I'll force a laugh to break the silence
It's gonna get harder still
Before it gets easy
You can't keep safe what whats to break
I'm alone in this
I'm all as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach
I was just a boy like every other
I thought I was something fierce
I thought I was ten times smarter
Love would be something that I just know
(Something I just know)
How you gonna know the feeling till you've lost it
I've been losing plenty since
I'm alone in this
I'm all as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach
Maybe something else I'm missing
Something good and your the reason
It's a dream but there's a real long wedding
I'm alone in this
I'm all as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach
I'm alone in this
I'm all as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach
I was scared but once I thought “I gotta let it go”
Everything she said to me I guess I oughta know
We're all tired of talk when it comes to shove
Put up, put out or stay at home.
Never be the same, never feel this way again.
I give you anything but you want pain.
A little water please, I taste you all over my teeth
(?)And never again(?), just tonight, ok
All at once the music stopped, the feeling ran away
An ugly picture of me and you, but nothing I can change
Now now what happens with the lights back on
Fingers in, listen what voices say.
you always wrote for me, ego.
risk worth taking risk worth leaving.
seems i'm still afraid to promise.
too big to stop too big to hold on to.
trade up for the fast ride.
trade your friends.
train passes us.
pulling your teeth you push away.
cancel plans, cancel them all.
check your breath for cold and hold on.
please hold on.
no pictures left to burn good-bye to.
the smell of ash and white walls blank.
phase passes us.
horizontal lines and button up.
the drawers of paper all say one thing.
like music boxes custom made.
time passes us.
don't move.
be still.
Here you can be anything.
I think that scares you.
I've been here before but only by myself.
What giving up gives you and where giving up takes you.
I've had and I've been.
Here in center frame, there's only air.
Just enough space to fit.
I said it out loud over and over but what do I know.
I said it out loud but it did not help.
I'll stop now.
Just so I can hear you I stay up as late as it takes, as long as it takes.
I promised I'd see it again.
Let the water come
She's the only one I love
Let the fat man drop
She's the sweetest honey pot
Will they see the sky again?
Who will sing their blues for them?
Let the factory's rust
She's the only thing I trust
Let the virus spread
She's the silk lining in my bed
Will they breathe our air again?
Who will sing their blues for them?
When you're feeling moot
You can have your conscience all you want
You can't say I do nothing yeah
I put it off
Where you gonna go if they come for you?
Will there be someone left to sing your blues?
Where you gonna run when they come for you?
I can't bend my arms and legs please sign my cast or be without me.
And I'll see the day when you can come to my house and play with me.
See you in the morning.
Can't you see I'm grounded.
Underground, go crazy afterall because it's ok for kids.
We all know, just plain and simple, nothing ever goes my way.
And I'll see the day, and I'll kill the day, the day.
And I'll see the day when you can come to my house and play with me.
See you in the morning.
Can't you see I'm grounded.
Underground, go crazy afterall because it's ok for kids.
"Is tomorrow just a day like all the rest."
How could you know just what you did?
So full of faith yet so full of doubt I ask.
Time and time again you said don't be afraid.
"If you believe you can do it."
The only voice I want to hear is yours.
Again.
I shall ask you this once again.
And again.
He said:
" I am but one small instrument."
Do you remember that?
So here I am above palm trees so straight and tall.
You are smaller, getting smaller.
one chance to show your face.
this one shot all you get.
pass by your one good thing.
lift your head back shoot and chase.
never hear you laugh like that, so full.
not since you were nine.
learn your restricted ropes.
paint a cross on your left hand.
one good thing signed away and with it your only hope.
attention focused on today.
so quiet slip behind my back.
unsettled, severing always severing old ties.
one last good-bye may last the rest of your life.
one way trip can work both ways and loose ends kept untied
make better friends.
the things you buy may someday leave you.
can you say full ride?
Why do you think I just want you for some more?
If it the endings over why do you come back for more?
Can be such a drag.
Stir you round and round.
You're a fake.
Is it a crime?
It's over, no more can lose.
Fork over, just leave me quick.
Have you wondered why?
I wish I could smile.
Screw the lid on tight with all your might.
First come first serve.
Is it right?
You're a fake.
Is it a crime?
It's over, no more can lose.
Faintest snow keep falling.
Hands around your waste.
Nameless, standing cold.
Take in restraint like a breath.
My lungs are so numb from holding back.
Walk close to the fence.
Feel it hit your clothes.
Turn and smile nice.
Smile say goodnight.
Say goodnight in a breath.
Simple discourse breaks you clean in half.
Regret.
Do try it once and then you know.
Your move.
I'll take your words as if you were talking to me.
Say what I know you'll say and say it through your teeth.
With pride keep every failure in.
And with pride hold on to the sinking.
Now in the deep and down your heart moves.
Now in the deep and down, I don't know how but I know I want out.
Wait for something better.
Will I know when it can be us?
Maybe that doesn't mean us.
Wait for something better?
I shouldn't, it's not enough.
Pull one excuse from another.
Just one excuse from another.
Here we go.
(My only cold I fought.)
Here I am, frozen in time I find a way from you, pave the way.
And cause I can't stand still they'll leave you down and out.
And when your face gets here I'll stab you in the back.
Tell me now, I need to know how long.
Clear the way.
Don't make me wait all day.
With you, from you, pave my way.
And cause I can't stand still, they'll leave you down and out.
And when your face gets here I'll stab you in the back.
It's a long way home.
Can't you find your way?
I'm a trampoline.
Lift me up over farenheit.
I'm a trampoline.
The time I would spend with pictures I would not send.
I watched you go from left to right.
I followed you all night across my blinds.
You'll change your mind come monday and turn your back on me.
You'll take your steps away with hesitance.
Take your steps away from me.
I'm making my peace, making it with distance.
Maybe that's a big mistake.
You know I'm thinking of you.
I miss you.
You'll change your mind come monday and turn your back on me.
You'll take your steps away with hesitance.
You'll take your steps away from me.
You'll change your mind come monday and turn your back on me.
Take your steps away with hesitance.
Take me clear up.
Toss me off the tower that is 40 stories tall.
So I'm plastered to the floor.
I must confess, I'm not impressed with your everlasting line.
Take draw, take a look now.
Watch me melt, from man to a boy
and I'm always on the honor society.
With everything and anything around but no attention drawn.
Make me.
I'm just curious to how and why we shouldn't be amazed.
(so don't ask why)
Tucked in slick back heart attack, yet no one seems to care.
Take me clear up.
Toss me off the tower that is 40 stories tall.
So I'm plastered to the floor.
I must confess, I'm not impressed with your everlasting line.
Seen expiration come to effect ventilation.
Make me sweet thing.
(so don't ask why)
(ok Tom take a break now...)
My oh my, can you save my life?
It doesn't have to mean looking out for me.
Hey now look at you, way cool, on time.
There's no room for Mamacita.
Sit tight, she'd say.
A ok and that's what you'll say while falling on the ground, leaves in her hair.
Hey now look at you, way cool on time.
(hey, hey guys, hey I think......)
totem pole, signs of death
preach my mind, breaks our times
what secrets still, lifted my eyes
i'm by myself, just like i was before
oh why can't we just find in someone
stranded back in time
he said she's got photographs of
endings of this world
defy, defy
bottom line, hard to find
just what you're time, i think we'll mind
what better way, a longer ride
a single ?, i wanna find
oh why can't we just find in someone
stranded back in time
he said she's got photographs of
endings of this world
defy, defy, defy, defy
alive to ride, alive to ride
Don't leave without intentions of ever coming back.
vacation. you take them if you wanted you'd ask them.
alone i'm outside.
red sky, i wait there.
snowfall above me.
so new yet fading.
graveyard.
run around or jump the fence.
Don't bother going through your motions.
Nothing that makes sense ever works out.
Don't kid yourself, you know they want money.
Nothing can be good on its own merit.
Put your trust in simple acts.
Make the flyers get them up all over town.
Don't kid yourself, you know they want money.
Please keep in sight what makes you care.
You have it always.
Spinning and spinning.
Dancing in plastic, shake-up snow.
Do you believe in what you want?
Your camera flash.
On us, meaningless.
You cannot waste a single night.
Didn't mean to leave you hanging on, all alone.
Merry Christmas baby.
Pay attention.
stop paying for regret.
fossil resources all used up.
make the best use of your time.
you could be on to something.
too skeptic too tired to care.
they all seem to know at once.
sweet muse left me all alone.
there's only my weight left.
euthanasia could be the greatest gift.
wait outside your house to come back out.
edge said it best.
save the long car ride home.
don't leave the house today.
nothing lost but still nothing gained.
no possibilities.
all wasted all gone over.
life means i hear my ears ring one more day.
you all see right through at once.
sweet muse, she won't be around today.
things that i could not say.
are you through yet.
are you gone yet.
you're on and off.
phase in phase out.
cross your heart crash burn and fall.
under cushions hide the change.
so no one knows.
just be careful who you tell.
i really want to care when you say: "i'll change that".
i just don't feel a thing when you say:
I'll take your words as if you were talking to me.
Say what I know you'll say and say it through your teeth.
With pride keep every failure in.
And with pride hold on to the sinking.
Now in the deep and down your heart moves.
Now in the deep and down, I don't know how but I know I want out.
Wait for something better.
Will I know when it can be us?
Maybe that doesn't mean us.
Wait for something better?
I shouldn't, it's not enough.
Pull one excuse from another.
Just one excuse from another.
Is it dark yet outside?
I'm through hiding tonight
Take from the rest, your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame
No shame
It might take you all night
But you'll love me with time
Take from the rest, your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame
No shame
Take from the rest, your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame
No shame
Is it dark yet outside?
I'm through hiding tonight
Take from the rest your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame
No shame
Take from the rest your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame
I blame it on my entrance.
It may have seen to much like confidence.
Let me start it over.
Help me get to what I can from when I did.
Had to leave my reasons.
It may have seemed to much, the consequence.
In your busy, dizzy life you'll become everything you said you would.
All that I know is how I can hold on but all that you see is how I let you go.
Falling off this cycle
and it really ticks me off when you calculate this time and place.
looking over shoulders,
can always be like what it seems when you were left to my old man.
i am why you bring me here,
tear these cloths down when we fight.
back around these towers.
like something you don't want to see.
like yesterday when you were found.
adding up misfortunes can always seem like holidays when you were sent to be the one.
i am why you bring me here tear these cloths down when we fight.
it's over they found me they made (beat) me.
i can't believe they knew it we blew it,
our fortunes have been retrieved by humans who knew me they
used me to get what's mine.
they'll never replace me.
i'll be back.
When you're on, I swear you're on.
You rip my heart right out.
You rip my heart right out.
I think the whole room can hear me clear my throat.
You rip my heart right out.
You rip my heart right out.
If you still care at all, don't go, tell me now.
If you love me at all, don't call.
Then out of nowhere, put me right back there.
Rip my heart out, you rip my heart right out.
And we know what happens when we get to your house.
Rip my heart out, you'll rip my heart right out.
If you still care at all, don't go, tell me now.
If you love me at all, please don't, tell me now.
If you still care at all, don't go, tell me now.
If you love me at all, don't call.
I throw away everything I've written you.
Oh anything just keep my mind off of it, thinking how I had you once.
No, I can't forget that.
Sometimes I wish I could loose you again.
You're winning me over with everything you say.
You rip my heart right out.
You rip my heart right out.
When I let you closer, I only want you closer.
You rip my heart right out.
You rip my heart right out.
If you still care at all, don't go, tell me now.
If you love me at all, please don't, tell me now.
Yeah, if you still care at all, don't go, tell me now.
If you love me at all, don't call.
With a turn and a twist she gets her wish
just a smile makes her who she wants.
It's the smoke from the spark when the sulfur hits
it turns into an inspiration.
With a splash and a twist we'll both get pissed
and leave after we hear our songs.
It's the smoke from the spark when the sulfur hits
she'll just remember she felt something.
So much for see you around
so much for seeing at all
don't leave me in the trivia
Give it a name and that's how it stays
over the threshold,
Still sitting there with your legs crossed,
not paying attention to me.
If we talk, just curious, would this end up like it always does?
All the wrong I've done.
All the wrong I'll do.
Keeps me from trying.
It keeps me quiet.
Throw out your arms to each side.
It's easier to let things go.
When we walk we think what we say: there's questons then silence and
in silence we remain.
All the wrong I've done and all the wrong I'll do.
It keeps me from trying.
Keeps me from calling you.
Something I just found out.
Something you know by now.
Hope makes you so strong.
Meet a part of me that feels like every other day.
It has been seen in pictures and in alleyways.
Can see it through your walls.
Can see it through your fall.
Can see it on your floor, wrongway.
Lift your head up, Wednesday.
It's almost 2:30.
When the walls start falling down you'll be last to be found.
That's allright, malt liquor.
So you can promise me a day.
Not gonna promise nothing anyway.
You say the most beautiful things,
an endless list of treasures of trimmings.
It takes all my faith just to start
I don't care now how much I'm wrong
my song it shames your ears
every sentence a failure.
Slant rhyme is all I can give half truth is all I'll get.
Show us all what grace can mean,
all of what I might be.
Close your eyes call it escape.
We'll run away from everything
Lie to me,
love me
Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
Just try your best, try everything you can
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away
It just takes some time
Little girl you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright
Hey, you know they're all the same
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in
Live right now, yeah, just be yourself
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else
It just takes some time
Little girl you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright
It just takes some time
Little girl you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright
Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
Just do your best, do everything you can
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say
It just takes some time
Little girl you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright
It just takes some time
Little girl you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright
Don't have to be the prettiest
If you have the mind, the willingness
There's no one stops,
No one knows what she's got.
No reason why
I can't help following with my eyes
Even at my best,
I guess I'm still just one of them.
I see it all in my head.
Cool hands on your steps
You wanna make me mad?
Stop 'cause I am.
You can call this a game.
You can look at my face.
You wanna hurt me baby?
Stop 'cause you have.
Combination of strong and lust
How easily you turn, and turn it off
Do you take what you want
And save it for a better time?
Don't act that way
Honey I don't buy it at all
If you're really as tough as your defenses
Let them fall
I see it all in my head.
Cool hands on your steps
You wanna make me mad?
Stop 'cause I am.
You can call this a game.
You can look at my face.
You wanna hurt me baby?
Stop 'cause you have.
Ahhh...
I see it all in my head.
Cool hands on your steps
You wanna make me mad?
Stop 'cause I am.
You can call this a game.
You can look at my face.
You wanna hurt me baby?
Stop 'cause you have.
You wanna make me mad?
Stop 'cause I am.
You wanna hurt me baby?
I don't feel the way I've ever felt
I know
I'm gonna smile and not get worried
I try but it shows
Anyone can make what I have built
And better now
Anyone can find the same white pills
It takes my pain away
It's a lie, a kiss with open eyes
And she's not breathing back
Anything but bother me
It takes my pain away
Never mind these are hurried times
Oh oh, I can't let it bother me
I never thought I'd walk away from you
I did
But it's a false sense of accomplishment
Every time I quit
Anyone can see my every flaw
It isn't hard
Anyone can say they're above this all
It takes my pain away
It's a lie, a kiss with open eyes
And she's not breathing back
Anything but bother me
It takes my pain away
Never mind these are hurried times
Oh oh, I can't let it bother me
I can't let it bother me
It takes my pain away
It's a lie, a kiss with open eyes
And she's not breathing back
Anything but bother me
It takes my pain away
Never mind these are hurried times
Oh oh, I can't let it bother me
It takes my pain
It takes my pain
It takes my pain
You told me don't you look at the sun,
it burns your eyes out.
I disobeyed and see a man who's going nowhere.
He fed me this: you don't got to worry, you're on your feet.
Please help me down.
Should have made room for others who can't be beat into open sea.
I brainstormed and caught up with my friend who's doing fine now.
It's been uplifting knowing you all have static sources.
I fed him this: man, am I in a hurry to break this chord of our paranoia.
Took him too long to notice and now I'm down where I can't be found.
And there's no antidote for a petty loaf.
I think we've found the lighter side of our friendly host.
Hold them down, all bleeding suspects
(Just because, just 'cause, just who are you?)
Like candle light, burn burn burn, baby
(Burn, burn, whose turn, who gets a taste today?)
We've done nothing wrong
But we've done nothing
We can't look away
But we're just looking in
It's second nature to say
Hey, hey, hey
We've done nothing wrong
Turn them off, all blacklist singers
(Don't ask why, don't cry, don't make a scene)
A forty-five, spin spin spin, give in
(Spin spin, who wins, who's not afraid to play?)
We've done nothing wrong
But we've done nothing
We can't look away
But we're just looking in
It's second nature to say
Hey, hey, hey
We've done nothing but
Nothing but take what's handed down
Said nothing but words approved to shout
We wanna know that we own the cake we're eating
Spit it out, out, out
Hold them down
(Burn, burn)
Hold them down, all bleeding suspects
Turn them off
(Turn, turn)
Turn them off, all blacklist singers
We've done nothing wrong
But we've done nothing
We can't look away
But we're just looking in
It's second nature to say
Hey hey hey
We've done nothing wrong
We've done nothing wrong
I've got my car we could go and sit a while
I know it won't turn over but we'll get somewhere just the same
I'm through talking
(it's the strangest thing, I feel safe when I'm lonely)
don't take too much
you'll get burned if it's all at one time
take it easy don't you get it?
it's just an expression
would you raise your voice every time a little dirt gets under?
cry if you want
(it's the return of no sensitivity)
you don't have to scream to say something that you honestly mean
the world won't turn without you
and I am amazed you're standing still
your problems, they aren't problems
be glad they never will
I'm taking my kisses back
I want my kisses back from you
when you hear those footsteps calling
it's O.K. if you don't answer
isn't it obvious?
Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo, ooo ooo
Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo
Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo, ooo ooo
Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo
Lay back baby an' we'll do this right
There's blankets in back we can use
I'll start the car, but we'll stay in park
The cold can kill us, before fumes
Now's the right time, for a good song
Got something to say, what I can't
Do you feel bad, like I feel bad?
Pour us a road, we'll both drink and drive
Kiss me with your cherry lipstick
Never wash you off my face
Hit me, I can take your cheap shots
Leave you with the love we made
Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo, ooo ooo
Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo
Come alive on the drivers side
So close, I taste your breath
Your lips go dry, but they're sweet inside
Wine must go right to your head
(Aaa)
It'd be easy, if you get mad
But three fingers point back to you
We could stay here
Stay out all night
No one will know
Us and the moonlight
Kiss me with your cherry lipstick
Never wash you off my face
Hit me, I can take your cheap shots
Leave you with the love we made
I set my watch by a street side clock
A needle in echo groove
You pierce my heart like a willing arm
Your ticking makes my blood move
There's no way out
(There's no way out)
This fade out
(This fade out)
Be happy to get what you do
Make him notice
(Make him notice)
With both fists
'Cause quitin' alone will never get you dry
(Ooo ooo ooo ooo)
Na, na na na
(Ooo ooo ooo ooo)
Na, na na na
(Ooo ooo ooo ooo)
Na, na na na na na
(Never get you dry)
(Ooo ooo ooo ooo)
Na, na na na
(Ooo ooo ooo ooo)
Na, na na na
(Aah)
(Ooo ooo ooo ooo)
Na, na na na na na
Give me everything you got now
I don't feel a single thing
Drag me out into the cold rain
Let it hover over me
Kiss me with your cherry lipstick
(Na, na na na, na, na na na)
Never wash you off my face
(Na, na na na)
Hit me, I can take your cheap shots
(Na, na na na, na, na na na)
Leave you with the love we made
(Na, na na na)
Hit me, I can take your cheap shot
(Na, na na na, na, na na na)
Leave you with the love we made
(Na, na na na)
Take your cheap shot
(Na, na na na, na, na na na)
Leave you with the love we made
PRETTY BOY WITH HANDKERCHIEF
Love is about to getting laid,
Love will come then save your soul,
When you find me,
The answer to my head is delirium,
Love, I’m waiting for,
On those day, when you come,
You’ll leave me glory,
I know, I’ll be there (I’ll be dead)
I’m waiting for momentum,
On the day, when you cum,
You lead me glory,
I know, I am sad,
Maybe we could put your tape back on
Rewind until the moment we went wrong
I was always just a little bit lost
Knowing what I do, I should have fought
Simple words connecting thought
Just pieces of the background until they're gone
I was only there to sing your song
What were you protecting yourself from?
You don't get to walk away now
There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.
What would you think of me now,
So lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
Now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
Now what would you think of me now,
So lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
Now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
And if you were with me tonight,
I'd sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big,
God couldn't let it live.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
Jen,
Don't be scared, Don't be shy
We use to do this all the time
you know it Jen
Jen,
We could be happy now
So jet across the coast and country, Jen
Sometimes Jennifer,
Live for too long and then your chance is gone
The choice we're meant to take
Is one they'll never take
All you have to do is say
Jen,
I think you tried just a little hard
Acting like something you not
I wanna make you feel the way you should
You have to let things go to keep them close
What you'll do today
Already has a name
Is anything but a mistake
Jen,
Don't be scared, no don't be shy
We used to do it all the time
Ya-Ya-You know it Jen
It's you and me, what could that mean?
You can't pretend we're only friends then walk away.
ooooohh
oooohhh
oooooo
No one's looking now
Take a chance, come on
Could do anything you want
Put your arms around someone soft
Take it as it comes, trust your heart
Trust me
You know it, Jen
Put your arms around someone soft
Take it as it comes, trust your heart
Trust me
Trust your heart, trust me
When I first came to see you I called it Houston street (like the city)
Could we meet? Show me all the things you see?
I'm one more here
Some old-timer pioneer
Who believes with shaken faith
I still have some cool
I could leave you here with your 'people'
If I'm a flag you'd not prefer to wave
You're always in my head
You're just what I wanted
I live in constant debt
To feel you, invented
When I first came to LA I met you the old fashioned way
Too drunk
Even worse, much too lonely
I'll leave it there
A busted homesteader
Who believes in virgin grace
Somehow I'll stay proud
Any dick can roll up in a suit
But only I would know what really moves you
You're always in my head
You're just what I wanted
I live in constant debt
To feel you, invented
There's a cinematic end
I picture it just right
Having trouble with the right words
But you tell me with your eyes
There's something good I miss
Something I cant' find
Do you believe me now?
Can you see it in my eyes?
You're always in my head
You're just what I wanted
I live in constant debt
"Ha, caught you in the act you disciples of dirtiness.
Officers arrest these nekkid people now."
You've seen mine,
I've seen yours.
I've got no toilet but I cannot go outside.
Turn your fingers right off.
Cross your heart now spin and fall.
Haven't you got any passion at all?
We're the same, human rain.
Here is the guide to get you through this town.
Can't see the mustard anymore.
Lyin on your back, down on the floor.
Sentiment of old is gone away
is here to stay.
My right to take a pee, it's not the way it used to be.
Seen mine, seen yours.
What's wrong?
It's not the way it used to be.
What's my punishment going to be?
Decapitation of my trick?
It's always the same.
It's always the same.
Sure don't have any room today.
Yeah a time about a week ago.
All your pictures in righteousness.
Tell me does the one stop now ?
My right to take a pee it's not the way it used to be.
Seen mine, seen yours.
What's wrong?
What's wrong baby, don't they treat you like they should?
Did you take 'em for it?
Every penny that you could?
We once walked out on the beach and once I almost touched your hand.
Oh how I dreamed to finally say such things then only to pretend.
Don't you know I'm thinkin', drivin' 405 past midnight.
You know I miss you.
Don't you know that I miss you?
Ninth and Ash on a Tuesday night.
I would write to you from a museum mile, toast to you:
your whisper, your smile.
Up the stairs at the Weatherford, a ghost each place I hide.
If you don't don't know, why would you say so?
Would you mean this please if it happens?
If you don't know, why would you say so?
Won't you get your story straight.
If you don't know, honey, why'd you just say so?
And I need this now more than I ever did.
If you don't well, honey, then you don't.
I left you waiting, at the least could we be friends?
Should have never started, ain't that the way it always ends?
On my life I'll try today, there's so much I've felt I should say, but.
Even if your heart would listen, doubt I could explain.
If you don't don't know, why'd you say so?
Would you mean this please if it happens?
If you don't know, why would you say so?
Won't you get your story straight.
If you don't know, honey, why'd you just say so?
Cause I need this now more than I ever did.
If you don't well, honey, then you don't.
So here we are now, a sip of wine a sip of water.
Someday maybe, maybe someday we'll be smarter.
And I'm sorry that I'm such a mess, I drank all my money could get and,
took everything you let me have and then I never loved you back.
If you don't don't know, why would you say so?
Would you mean the please if it happens?
If you don't know, why would you say so?
Won't you get your story straight?
If you don't know, honey, why'd you just say so?
Cause I need this now yeah need this, need this.
If you don't well, honey, then you don't
And if you don't well, honey, then you don't
MILK CARROT
Hello, where have you been?
Goodbye, let’s start crying?
Old friends is still wait to gathering,
Yellow is your earring,
Re-style of the old time table,
Milk carrot ordering again,
Oh, pink blouse I see you,
Pimp cloud I’ve dreamt,
I can't compete with the clear eyes of strangers
I'm more and more replaced
By my friends each night
I can't compete
Just can't recover
How many years it's been, it's day one in my mind
That's the first step
Each time
The heart is hard to find
Yes, the heart is hard to find
It's hard to find the heart
Sometimes
I can't compete with your new-found religion
The good word seems everywhere
But good words only
I can't compete with a real education
All the f*cked up things you say
Couldn't possibly be any less help to me
The heart is hard to find
Yes, the heart is hard to find
It's hard to find the heart
Sometimes
[Instrumental break]
It's hard to find the heart
Sometimes [3x]
I don't care what you do.
I'm getting out , no nothing ever shames me.
Don't wanna thing from you
I'm going out, I don't care if you're angry.
I'm getting out, no nothing ever shames me.
I'm going out, I don't care if you're angry.
I should've thought things through.
I'm holding out, but not getting an answer.
I wanna do right by you.
I'm finding out, cheating gets it faster.
I'm holding out, not getting an answer.
I'm finding out that cheating gets it faster.
I'm holding out, but not getting an answer.
I'm finding out, cheating gets it faster.
I don't care what you do.
I'm getting out, no nothing ever shames me.
Don't wanna thing from you.
I'm going out, I don't care if you're angry.
I should've thought things through.
Yeah I'm holding out, but not getting an answer.
I wanna do right by you.
I'm finding out that cheating gets it faster.
I'm getting out, no nothing ever shames me.
I'm going out, I don't care if you're angry.
I holding out, but not getting an answer.
I've waited too long to have you
Hide in the back of me
I've cheated so long I wonder
How you keep track of me
You can never be strong
You can only be free
I've never asked for the truth
But you owe that to me
I've entered a game of pricks
With knives in the back of me
Can't call you or on you no more
While they're attacking me
I'll climb up on the house
Weep to water the trees
And when you come calling me down
I'll put on my disease
You can never be strong
You can only be free
I've never asked for the truth
But you owe that to me
I've never asked for the truth
But you owe that to me
I've never asked for the truth
i'm the trouble starter
pumpkin instigator
im the fear addicted
danger illustrated
im a twisted
you're a twisted
im a twisted
firestarter
im the bitch you hated
filth infatuated
im the pain you tasted
well intoxicated
im a twisted
you're a twisted
im a twisted
firestarter
i'm the self inflicted
my detinator
i'm the one inflicted
twisted and animated
im a twisted
you're a twisted
im a twisted
firestarter
im the im a twisted
you're a twisted
im a twisted
firestarter
im a twisted
you're a twisted
im a twisted
Follow you around until it's time
Time to leave
Swimming into the idea of your scene
There all the while proving patiently
I earned to lie by you when you fall asleep
Hang up a sheet
Between our things
Won't have to see
Evidence
Evidence
I watched you put on a dress I'd never seen
Something that begged for East Atlantic breeze
There all the while hated quietly
There, just to see a smile... anything
Hang up a sheet
Between our things
Won't have to see
Evidence
You did what you did
The memory lives
Nothing cleans
Evidence
Evidence
[Instrumental break]
Hang up a sheet
Between our things
Won't have to see
Evidence
You did what you did
The memory lives
Nothing cleans
Evidence
I came up like everyone, they taught us all the same
I said what they told me to say, and then from that they grade.
Give up repeating the facts, but that could be arranged
Here I am, I'll take my chance
Now play the record straight.
Now give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Talking points from talking heads with automotive smiles
There's no higher ground to stand than bottom of the pile.
Give up acting unaware, you can't ignore the crime
The enemy is you as well, the enemy is I
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Not in my name, you don't speak for me
I am my voice, and I want to scream
You want my air, you want my life
I act as one, but I'm not alone.
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Stay with me
You're the one that I need
You make the hardest things
Seem easy
Keep my heart
Somewhere drugs don't go
Where the sunshine slows
Always keep me close
If only you could see
The stranger next to me
You promise, you promise, that you're done
But I can't tell you from the drugs
Don't let go
We'll dig a great big hole
Down an endless hole
We'll both go
You're so blind
You can't save me this time
Hope comes from inside
And I feel so low tonight
If only you could see
The stranger next to me
You promise, you promise, that you're done
But I can't tell you from the drugs
I wish that you could see
This face in front of me
You're sorry, you swear it, you're done
But I can't tell you from the drugs
(Take me)
I need your hands
(So far)
To pull me up
Take the wheel
(Take me)
Out from me
(So far)
Out from me
If only you could see
(I need your hands)
The stranger next to me
(To pull me up)
You promise, you promise, that you're done
(Take the wheel out from me)
But I can't tell you from the drugs
(Take the wheel out from me)
I wish that you could see
(I need your hands)
This face in front of me
(To pull me up)
You're sorry, you swear it, you're done
(Take the wheel out from me)
But I can't tell you from the drugs
Keep my heart
Somewhere drugs don't go
Where the sunshine slows
A monster lives in your backyard.
the 2x4's are making their way around.
the big get bigger when the fight's done.
i found that secret door.
a man with a shovel's gonna dig deep down to find out where it feeds.
a house.
a catalog full of nothing good.
the white house ponders no remourse.
the big get bigger when the fight's done.
i found that secret door.
a man with a shovel's gonna dig deep down to find out where it feeds.
a house.
it seems like a drag to be torn apart by unexpected hands.
Take advantage of these times, you said.
You let me down.
It hasn't been the first time.
As I'm falling in the pit of fire my mind's made up.
I'm never coming back here.
How long would it take me to walk across the United States all alone.
The West coast has been traumatized.
I think I'm the only one still alive.
Is it just a coincidence to see you by yourself with no direction.
Now it's time to move on.
Don't you know that things aren't getting better.
Don't try and stop me.
Because I'm falling fast into this pit of fire which surrounds us all.
In a blanket of fear that I've been wrapped in for years.
You can't stop me.
I?m not alone cause the TV?s on yeah
I?m not crazy cause I take the right pills everyday
And rest, clean your conscience
Clear your thoughts with speyside with your grain
Clean your conscience, clear your thoughts with speyside
Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt
Our hearts littering the topsoil
Tune in and we can get the last call
Our lives, our coal
Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt
Our hearts littering the topsoil
Sign up it's the picket line or the parade
Our lives
I?m not alone cause the TV?s on yeah
I?m not crazy cause I take the right pills everyday
And rest, clean your conscience
Clear your thoughts with speyside with your grain
Clean your conscience, clear your thoughts with speyside
Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt
Our hearts littering the topsoil
Tune in and we can get the last call
Our lives, our coal
Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt
Our hearts littering the topsoil
Sign up it's the picket line or the parade
Our lives
Greed from my arm
Won?t they give it a rest now?
Give it a rest now
Now, now, now
Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt
Our hearts littering the topsoil
Tune in and we can get the last call
Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt
Our hearts littering the topsoil
I felt for sure last night
At once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me
Im still driving away
And Im sorry every day
I wont always love these selfish things
I wont always live...
Stop it...
It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you
Youll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
Im here and now Im ready
Holding on tight
Dont give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
Amazing still it seems
Ill be 23
I wont always love what Ill never have
I wont always live in my regrets
Youll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
Im here and now Im ready
Holding on tight
Dont give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
Youll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
Im here and now Im ready
Holding on tight
Dont give away the end
Is this promenade a musician?
And all that man can do is always compare original?
Doesn't matter what I say all I know is I got it in me.
And why do all the other records sound the same?
And I can stay right here.
And I ain't going off to pee.
But you won't hear one word I say.
No you're not listening.
So what I'm doing nothing here.
This time I'll play when the talented people don't show up.
If I don't got nothing good to say
So then why say it?
And I can stay right here.
And I ain't going off to pee.
But you won't hear one word I say.
Shutup and say.
"Yeah. I thought the punk scene was about unity
and creating an atmosphere of uh think for yourself.
Do what you want and not care about what other people thought about you.
It's not about creating cliques and trying to take what punk is.
Punk is what you want it to be.
It's about what anybody wants it to be.
It's about what you control it should be.
Punk's what you think it is."
I'm just standing here and people doing philosophy.
I'm hypnotized by rituals
now that I am on my own
Tranquilized like an animal
All because I lost control
Are you tuning in to our conversation
Oh yea you'll get your chance
The bigger the brighter illuminated
Control the audience
The weight of the world has dragged you down
And took with it what you've earned
Communications lost to the radio
Burning all your bridges down
I may never be quite satisfied but that's the only way
I know
I am over come with sympathy for your pathetic soul
Breathe in the air while you still can
Take all that you have while you still can
Sleep all night while you still can
On a Sunday I'll think it through.
On the drive back I'll think it through.
What you wish for won't come true.
Live with that.
On a Sunday she thought it through.
Now as I drive back, there's thiry-six less hours I have to change
the course I send myself.
Live with that.
On a Sunday go once around.
Because when the rides done, the hopes that you have carried,
they fall out from your hands back to the ground.
Live with that.
Learn as the drugs leave.
Learn as you lose it.
You will.
It's allright to be held back by retro-man.
it's far fetched fun when you're the one.
The prize.
I knew you would come through.
I thought I could be right, number one,
but it's a lie.
It's televised in forest green.
it's been brought back by retro-man.
Hold your thoughts in.
It ain't yet over.
You won't slide under me.
The prize.
I knew you would come through.
I thought I could be right, number one,
Are you're listening? Woah
Sing it back, woah
String from your tether unwinds, woah woah
Up and outward to bind, woah woah
I was spinning free, woah
With a little sweet and simple numbing me
Are you listening? Woah
Sing it back, woah
So tell me what do I need, woah woah
When words lose their meaning, woah woah
I was spinning free, woah
With a little sweet and simple numbing me
Stumble till you crawl, woah
Sinking into sweet uncertainty
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
If you're listening, woah
Sing it back, woah
And I'm still running away, woah woah
I won't play your hide and seek game, woah woah
I was spinning free, woah
With a little sweet and simple numbing me
What a dizzying dance? Woah
Ah ah ah, this sweetness will not be concerned with me
No, the sweetness will not be concerned with me
It's how I've often felt
When I find myself on nights like these,
Like Christmas Eve
From the empty office window
To the street outside
It's everything not to call
And find out why
On the cab ride you said nothing
Just hair all in your face
I was scared to name it
And nothing changed
So, I walked until I just couldn't
Too late I understood
It was always half invented
But the other half was good
Just a little thing
Buried in the other things
Burning away, from inside
Could you be with me tonight?
There's a quiet dream
I'm not supposed to think
I know I shouldn't
Eating away at my mind
For your time its written out.
Work means nothing by itself.
These days are numbered, I can tell.
Until the crash I'll write you down.
Selection kills the old.
Selection breathes on its own.
Sing while you can.
I was drunk when I met you
I was drunk when I walked out the door
And I rolled around the night to find you
But I guess you never knew
You just needed something solid you could hold
Like a dog that came when you called
Like a coatstand that sits out in the hall
And you don't need me
It's yer feet you don't need
Always facing back a way you just came
I don't love you any more, I don't need you
I'm just keeping a score
You said life's too short to be bored
All this rollin' around on the floor
Won't get you what you want it's just a waste
And you don't need me
So I look at every woman
Just to see if there's something there for me
And I look up every moment
Just to know if I'm missing something sweet
And I need something solid to hold
Like a dog that comes when I call
Like a brick I can throw against a wall
And I don't need you
No I don't need you
No I don't need you
The longest time away.
think last time the friends we made.
the longest time away.
best friend is too cheap to stay.
of course i'll go with you, not every day i get to.
of course i'll stay with you, how often.
pictures tell so much.
they remind me often.
your voice brings back so much... situations.
between the money and your every move, acceptance.
between the money and your every move.
we both know things never change.
we both know static prevails.
take a seat at your request.
five years i'm still there.
If you only once would let me
Only just one time
Then be happy with the consequence
With whatever's gonna happen tonight
Don't think we're not serious
When its ever not
The love we make is give and it's take
I'm game to play along
All I can say
I shouldn't say
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place
While we still have time
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
(Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh)
All the best DJs are saving
The slowest song for last
When the dance is through
It's me and you
Come on, would it really be so bad?
The things we think might be the same
But I won't fight for more
(I won't fight for more)
It's just not me to wear it on my sleeve
Count on that for sure
All I can say
I shouldn't say
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place
While we still have time
You wanna take a ride?
Get out of this place
While we still have time
Yeah, we still have time
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Can't say I was never wrong
But some blame rests on you
Work and play they're never okay
To mix the way we do
All I can say
I shouldn't say
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place
While we still have time
You wanna take a ride?
Get out of this place
While we still have time
We still have time
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I don't want to be up on a Friday night,
but I don't want to be there up on a Saturday night.
I don't want to be up on a Friday night,
but I don't want to be there up on a Saturday night.
I don't want to be up on a Friday night,
I don't want to be there.
When It's over when I'm starving, could it be yanked out of your hand.
Yep I'm the guy, all that you've seen and heard.
What about yourself now?
You're just the girl next door.
So now you're waiting to find out that it's something.
Wishing, to get your face up anyway.
Give it up dish it out now take it back now lift it up, turn it back now one more.
When it's over when I'm starving.
Take your hand to rest with your head.
Yep I'm the guy, all that you've done and seen.
Laying on the floor at 6:30 and you're here.
Say you want it so, so.
i got a story it's almost finished
all i need is someone to tell it too
maybe, that's you.
our time is borrowed and spent to freely
every minute i have needs to be made up
but how?
i'm looking for a nice way to say
"i'm out."
i want out.
i fall asleep with my friends around me
only place i know, i feel safe
i'm gonna call this home
the open road is still miles away
ain't nothing serious
we still have our fun
oh we had it once
but windows open and close
that's just how it goes
don't it feel like sunshine afterall
the world we love forever, gone
we're only just as happy
as everyone else seems to think we are
i'm in love with the ordinary
i need a simple space
to rest my head
and everything gets clear
well i'm a little ashamed for asking
but just a little helps
it gets me straight again
helps me get over it
it might seem like a dream
but it's real to me
don't it feel like sunshine afterall
the world we love forever, gone
we're only just as happy
as everyone else seems to think we are
you should see the canals are freezing
you should see me high
you should just be here
be with me here
it doesn't seem theres hope for me
i let you down
but i won't give in now
They're disregarding us telling me I'm blind.
Trying to rid my mind,
and if worst comes to worst I think I'll be first to never be the same.
We're not to blame.
I wasn't there.
Hair in her eyes and it didn't cost a thing.
Fell to my knees.
Stuck on like fleas.
Saw on TV and it took effect.
And who were they to judge?
It could've be way worse, it didn't have to strain.
They bound us sleep which didn't mean a thing.
Calling in for free.
Sick of being down while coming through a fall.
I want out.
We're not to blame.
I wasn't there.
Hair in her eyes and it didn't cost a thing.
Fell to my knees.
stuck on like fleas.
Saw on TV and it took effect.
Come on down.
Come on down.
Now round this (chos ?) found an (ink ?)
Where not one trace left of you that's clear where found your face.
Dreams and my full Circle K,
dreams and my full Circle K,
dreams and my full Circle K.
Are you gonna live your life wonderin' standing in the back lookin' around?
Are you gonna waste your time thinkin' how you've grown up or how you missed out?
Things are never gonna be the way you want.
Where's it gonna get you acting serious?
Things are never gonna be quite what you want.
Or even at 25, you gotta start sometime.
I'm on my feet, I'm on the floor, I'm good to go.
Now all I need is just to hear a song I know.
I wanna always feel like part of this was mine.
I wanna fall in love tonight.
Are you gonna live your life standing in the back looking around?
Are you gonna waste your time?
Gotta make a move or you'll miss out.
Someone's gonna ask you what it's all about.
Stick around nostalgia won't let you down.
Someone's gonna ask you what it's all about.
Whatcha gonna have to say for yourself?
I'm on my feet, I'm on the floor, I'm good to go.
Now all I need is just to hear a song I know.
I wanna always feel like part of this was mine.
I wanna fall in love tonight.
Crimson and clover, over and over.
Crimson and clover, over and over.
Our house in the middle of the street, why did we ever meet?
Started my rock 'n roll fantasy.
Don't don't, don't let's start, why did we ever part?
Kick start my rock 'n rollen heart.
I'm on my feet, I'm on the floor, I'm good to go.
So come on Davey, sing me somethin' that I know.
I wanna always feel like part of this was mine.
I wanna fall in love tonight.
Here tonight.
I wanna always feel like part of this was mine
I'll say it straight and plain
I know I've made mistakes
I've always been afraid
I've always been afraid
A thousand nights or more
I travelled east and north
Please answer the door
Can you tell me
You say that love goes anywhere
In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there
When you go, I'll let you be
But you're kill everything in me
Get down on your knees
Whisper what I need
Something pretty
Something pretty
I feel that when I'm old
I'll look at you and know
The world was beautiful
Then you tell me
You say that love goes anywhere
In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there
When you go, I'll let you be
But you're killing everything in me
I'm done, there's nothing left to show
Try but I can't let go
Are you happy where you're standing still?
Do you really want the sugar pill?
I'll wake up tomorrow and I'll start
To another, it feels so hard
As a train approaches, getting on
As I'm sure your kiss remains employed
Am I only dreaming?
You say that love goes anywhere
In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there
When you go, I'll let you be
But you're killing everything in me
When you go, I'll let you be
Hold them down, all bleeding suspects
(Just because, just 'cause, just who are you?)
Like candle light, burn burn burn, baby
(Burn, burn, whose turn, Who gets a taste today?)
We've done nothing wrong,
But we've done nothing
We can't look away,
But we're just looking in
It's second nature to say,
Hey hey hey, we've done nothing wrong!
Turn them off, all tactless singers
(Don't ask why, don't cry, don't make a scene)
A forty-five, spin spin spin, give in
(Spin spin, who wins, who's not afraid to play?)
We've done nothing wrong,
But we've done nothing!
We can't look away,
But we're just looking in!
It's second nature to say,
Hey hey hey, we've done nothing but -
Nothing but take what's handed down
Said nothing but words approved to shout
We wanna know that we own the cake we're eating
Spit it out! Out, out...
Hold them down (burn, burn)
Hold them down, all bleeding suspects
Turn them off (turn, turn)
Turn them off, all tactless singers
We've done nothing wrong!
It's been a long time, so long
There's only one life I know (I know)
But I have my own mind
I'll say so if it seems right
(Hey rush out)
I see your warm face with the soft mouth
But it speaks something else (else)
I'll take my chances with the cast down
We can feel the air
Rush out, out from the center
Not like one side is any better
Stand up as they've been preaching
My best theory is already in me
(already in me) In me
(We can feel, we can feel the air
Rush out)
So many questions
And the answers come back unanswered
(unanswered anekatips)
Let's hold the old script
It's a new twist
You can feel the air
Rush out, out from the center
Not like one side is any better
Stand up as they've been preaching
My best theory is already in me
(already in me)
In a lonely real place
Neither part nor mistake
Not what you had with your time
My doubt seems fine, my true desire
My threat, my appetite
My true desire
I feel the air!
Rush out, out from the center
Not like one side is any better
Stand up and escape and breach it
My best theory is already in me
Rush , out from the center
Not like one side is any better
Stand up as they've been preaching
My best theory is already in me
My oh my, can you save my life?
It doesn't have to mean looking out for me.
Hey now look at you, way cool, on time.
There's no room for Mamacita,
no room for mamacita.
Sit tight she said.
A Ok and that's what she'll say
while falling on the ground, leaves in her hair.
Hey now look at you, way cool, on time.
There's no room for Mamacita,
I have a ringing in my head
And no one to help me answer it
Even with you close enough to kiss.
Every minute is arranged
Every moment lasts a day
But thinking about it can't help me let go, I know.
Talk, talking a lot, but it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
All the petty scenes
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off.
I can laugh it off.
I must look like I'm running away
To you at your faster pace
I wonder what it is you could have seen, in me.
I'm the evil one who said.
Gonna let everything just happen
Just like my chest, my ears are proud
The collision is such an ugly sound.
I can hear you now
Talk, talking a lot, but it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
All the petty scenes
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off.
Talk, talking a lot, but it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
And all the placings
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off.
I can laugh it off.
I can hear you now
Talk, talking a lot, but it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
All the petty scenes
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off.
Talk, talking a lot, but it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
All the petty scenes
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I’ll give it to someone special.

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I’ll give it to someone special.
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Now I‘ve found the real love, now I found
You’ll never fool me again!

Well, you're just across the street
Looks a mile to my feet
I wanna go to you
Funny how I'm nervous still
I've always been the easy kill
I guess I'll always be
Could it be that everything goes 'round by chance? (chance?)
Or only one way that was always meant to be (be)
You kill me, you always know the perfect thing to say (heeey, and, heeey, and...)
I know what I should do but I just can't walk away
I can picture your face well
From the bar in my hotel
I wish I'd go to you
I'll pick up put down the phone
Like your favorite Heatmeiser song goes
It's just like being alone
Oh god, please don't tell me this has been in vain (vain)
I need answers for all of the waiting I've done means
You kill me, you've got some nerve, but can't face your mistakes (heeey, and...)
I know what I should do but I just can't turn away
So go on love
Leave while there's still hope for escape
Gotta take what you can these days
There's so much ahead
So much regret
I know what you want to say
(Know what you want to say)
I know it but can't help feeling differently
I loved you, I should have said it
Tell me, just what has it ever meant?
I can't help it baby, this is who I am (am)
Sorry, but I can't just go turn off how I feel (feel)
You kill me, you build me up, but just to watch me break (heeey, and...)
On, it's on.
I declare my room a scene
Gone, then gone
It's too much that they say you need
It's not perfection, yeah
How boring if it is
Nothing new for me
Light on up
With everybody watching you
Lights go down
Everything is yours to lose
First dancer takes the floor
Laugh what you can't ignore
What you gonna do
Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock
Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
And I roll
Here it goes
Crowning up the cool kid queen
There it goes
The competition show their teeth
I'll let them fight it out
It's just my party now
What I want to be
Stand on up
Everyone in queue in costume
Stare on out
Don't get sucked in for a second
Bright lights might say your name
They only light the stage
Nothing there to prove
Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock
Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
And I roll
Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock
Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
And I roll
Hey Hey Hey Hey
Don't accept critique or credit
Hey Hey Hey Hey
Definition always changes
It's not the same as yours
You could be so much more
The closer that you get
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh,
Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock
Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
And I roll
Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock
Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go
I never said thank you for that
I thought I might get one more chance
What would you think of me now?
So lucky, so strong, so proud
I never said thank you for that
Now I'll never have a chance
May Angels lead you in
Hear you meet my friends
On sleepless roads, the sleepless go
May Angels lead you in
So what would you think of me now?
So lucky, so strong, so proud
I never said thank you for that
Now I'll never have a chance
May Angels lead you in
Hear you meet my friends
On sleepless roads the sleepless go
May Angels lead you in
May Angels lead you in
May Angels lead you in
May Angels lead you in
May Angels lead you in
And if you were with me tonight
I'd sing to you just one more time
A song for a heart so big
God wouldn't let it live
May Angels lead you in
Hear you meet my friend
On sleepless roads the sleepless go
May Angels lead you in
May Angels lead you in
Hear you meet my friends
On sleepless roads the sleepless go
May Angels lead you in
On sleepless roads the sleepless go
I, I always believed in futures
I hope for better in November
Try the same booth, same lucky numbers
It could be a cold night for a lifetime
Hey now, you can't keep singing endlessly
My darling, how long until this sun burns me?
Say hello to good times
Trade up all the fast lines
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets completely
I, I always could count on futures
And things would look up, they'd look up
Why, so hard to find a balance
Between living decent and the cold and real
Hey now, what is it you think you see?
My darling, now's the time to disgaree
Say hello to good times
Trade up all the fast lines
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets completely
Hey now, the past is told by those who live
My darling, what matters is what hasn't been
Hey now, we're wide awake and we're thinking
My darling, believe your votes can mean something
Say hello to good times
Trade up all the fast lines
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets completely
The first star I see may not be a star.
We can't do a thing but wait.
So let's wait for one more.
The time such clumsy time in deciding if it's time.
I'm careful but not sure how it goes.
You can loose yourself in your courage.
The mindless comfort grows when I'm alone with my 'great' plans.
This is what she says gets her through it:
"If I don't let myself by happy now then when?"
If not now when?
When the time we have now ends.
When the big hand goes round again.
Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?
This is where our diligence has lead
The waves roll in to claim our patient steps
Can we become more than just ourselves?
And leave the sand, I wonder will I doubt
It's firefight, I won't run.
They're spitting spite all through my blood
For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there's no one else alive
This is now the moment after next.
All these silver eyes of the temptress
Why open the door if you won't go?
Don't ask twice if you don't wanna know.
It's firefight, I won't run.
They're spitting spite all in my blood
For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there's no one else alive
Is there an answer?
If it's an honest one, honestly worth this question
There's no question
The city has no limits
I am who I wanna be, but you could be anything
Just be anything here with me.
Endless quotes and with the secondhand
If you let go then that's where time will stand.
It's firefight, I won't run.
They're spitting spite all through my blood
For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there's no one else alive
It's firefight, I won't run.
They're spitting spite all through my blood
For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide
There's a chance, one of us will give in soon
I could ask, but what's an answer gonna prove?
I try to get mad, but the fever drops
My heart can't break 'cause the beating stops
Yeah, suck that lucky feeling right outta me.
Wanna laugh? Take a look around the room
It's a dance, tired steps in brand new shoes
I can only take a guess what the morning brings
If it feels too good, then it probably is.
Yeah, suck that lucky feeling right outta me
I follow your sign, where it leads I go.
But you turned your back so easily,
It tells me everything I need, yeah.
Waiting for the line to move a foot, yeah
Wasting my life on nothing good
Suck that lucky feeling right outta me
I should act; tie it down or cut you loose
It's a trap, any direction I move.
When I try to sing along, the needle skips
I huff and then I puff but my house is bricks, yeah
Suck that lucky feeling right outta me
Yeah you sucked that lucky feeling right outta me.
Episode IV leads us away from here.
don't expect to find what you're (looking to).
i can see the light leading away from you.
let's disappear, we'll take a trip of no return to outer space.
and swim in pools which keep us warm, cleaned off the sand from off your feet.
we'll dance off time to the songs we've never liked.
and sing off key thinking it sounds all right.
and you know I almost lost my will to live.
(we're sure) you tell time in your.
episode IV leads us away from here.
don't expect to find what you're (looking to).
let's disappear, both take a trip of no return to outer space.

we'll dance off time to the songs we've never liked.
and sing off key thinking it sounds all right.
and you know I almost lost my will to live.
(we'll show) and tell time one more time.
and you know I almost lost my will to live.
You close your eyes and kiss your hand, then you blow it
But it isn't meant for me and I notice
If the choice was ours alone
Then why'd we both choose letting go?
Does it end like this?
Time never had a chance to heal your heart
Just remember always counting down to a new start
If you always knew the truth
Then the world would spin around you
Are you dizzy yet?
Respectfully, so honestly I'm calling out
Do you hear the conversation we talk about?
Back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine, we show it off
I'll talk and not a lot to think, we live in dreams
And she never crept close to our naked feet
If there's something left to lose
Then don't let me wear out my shoes
That I still walk in
I tried but it rang and rang, I called all night
On a payphone, remember those from another life?
If everything I meant to you
You can't lick and seal then fold in two
Then avenge so blind
Respectfully, so honestly I'm asking now
Do you hear the conversation we talk about?
Back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine, we show it off
Oh, oh, take it all back, take the first, the last only
Oh, oh, take it all back, take it all back
Everything you showed me
Oh, oh, this must be how it feels
And the feeling goes, oh
I told you as I haven't, I?ve never felt this way
You said I have this chocolate stocked my car, baby, it's okay
You said you never had regrets
Caesar says there's someone else
Who got that wish, did you get your [Incomprehensible]
Respectfully, so honestly I'm asking now
Do you hear the conversation we talk around?
I'll back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment
Pay attention.
stop paying for regret.
fossil resources all used up.
make the best use of your time.
you could be on to something.
too skeptic too tired to care.
they all seem to know at once.
sweet muse left me all alone.
there's only my weight left.
euthanasia could be the greatest gift.
wait outside your house to come back out.
edge said it best.
save the long car ride home.
don't leave the house today.
nothing lost but still nothing gained.
no possibilities.
all wasted all gone over.
life means i hear my ears ring one more day.
you all see right through at once.
sweet muse, she won't be around today.
things that i could not say.
are you through yet.
are you gone yet.
you're on and off.
phase in phase out.
cross your heart crash burn and fall.
under cushions hide the change.
so no one knows.
just be careful who you tell.
i really want to care when you say: "i'll change that".
i just don't feel a thing when you say:
I made it
And now there's no turning back
I know there's no depth you wouldn't sink for the chance
I'm sorry, boy
I'm not cut for this no more
You came in
Yeah, you happened to me
So I waited and nothing else has since
I'm sorry, boy
But I'm no good for you no more
If it's your name in lights
And if the time is yours,
You'd be on your back
You'd be on the floor
It's the kind of night that I'd always hoped
And he's the kind of guy worth waiting for
There's always some baggage you've got to check
I'm trying
Hope that you'd understand
I'm sorry, boy
I'm not cut for this no more
Yes I loved you, boy
When I finally finished school
It was the first thing that I did
What every townie kid dreams of,
I packed and started west
A thousand dollars I had saved
And my sister's two cassettes:
The Dead from Fillmore East
And Otis Redding's Greatest Hits
Coffee and Cigarettes
As simple as it gets
Of all the things I think I'll miss,
There's staying up with you
Coffee and Cigarettes
Coffee and Cigarettes
Then, I commit with some restraint
To a boy I thought might care
It didn't work but I found out soon
And never dug roots there
Been a lot of places since
But nothing else compares
To easy times and easy eyes
To meet you in a stare
Coffee and Cigarettes
As simple as it gets
Of all the things I think I'll miss,
Coffee and Cigarettes
Hey still staring little girl,
are you looking at or past me?
Worry.
Simple symptoms won't leave you this underweight or red in the eyes.
No more rules, the ones we make don't last the night.
So pick up the pieces.
Start again, start over tuesday morning.
Conscience clean.
This card, postmarked December 23.
The caption reads:"How does he do it?"
Ms. too bad he treats me like i'm dead.
Nothing works to make this easy.
No more lies.
The ones we live will work just fine.
So pick up the pieces.
Start again, start over tuesday morning.
Conscience clean, alone.
I'm a suspect, I'm a traitor
I'm only here in body visiting
Yellow faces in the distance screams
The beauty is in what isn't said
I'm rising to my feet
Because tonight the world turned in me
Because right now I don't dare to breathe
Oh babe, I know it's alive and somewhere for us to find
Tonight chase this light with me
My just so, my last call
My life is yours in your gifted hands
Confetti rainfall in the quiet street
These things I've found are special now
The knot is in my reach
Because tonight the world turned in me
Because right now I don't dare to breathe
Oh babe, I know it's alive and somewhere for us to find
Tonight chase this light with me
A movie still, photograph
Through a martyr's eyes I can see
I've seen the best of love, the best of hate
The best reward is earned
And I've paid for every single word I ever said
Confetti rainfall in the quiet streets
The beauty is in what you make it
So get up on your feet
Because tonight the world turned in me
Because right now I don't dare to breathe
Oh babe, I know it's alive and somewhere for us to find
Tonight chase this light with me
Oh babe, I know it's alive and somewhere for us to find
When I know I'm all alone
I say your name slowly
And I know that I'm alone
But I carry you
Does it feel good like the memory
When you try some history?
It's a dream to come around
The rule doesn't bend
Because the taste doesn't taste the same again
It's easy feeling righteous when removed
All you’ll get is what you wanna hear
It hurts because it should
How else am I to make it clear?
I could never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Well, here’s to living in the moment
'Cause it passed
Maybe a lie is what I need sometimes
You told the most and best of anyone
You said to keep me in your pocket
So I carried you
You better choose your words carefully
Because I'm not your anything
Gonna stay here in my place
And you stay in yours
Because you're only good as what you're good for
I pace around the room to spend the time
Waiting while the burning pictures fade
One thing to make your mind
And another to say it's name
I could never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed, it passed
I'm still carrying a little hope
That maybe things could be different now
Is that so wrong? Is that so wrong? Is that so wrong?
Would I see you tonight at a place we would go?
G-going through the motions, leads to real emotions
I wanna make things right before time runs out
It’s was like you said, the taste don’t taste like it should
Roll down the windows, let the cold air come in, yeah
Slap my face just to feel, to feel you somehow again
Again!
I could never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed
I could never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Yeah, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed, it passed
Before this world starts up again
It's me and night
We wait for the sun
The kids and drunks head back inside
Well there's lots of smart ideas in books I've never read
When the girls come talk to me I wish to hell I had
(Get Up, Get Up) Turn on ignition
(Get Up, Get Up) Fire up the system
Play my little part in something big
I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they'll say 'All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice'
I'm the one who gets away
I'm a New Jersey success-story
And they'll say 'Lord, give me a chance to shake that hand'
(They'll say)
Back when I was younger I was someone you'd've liked
Got an old guitar I'd had for years I'd let you buy
And I'll tell you something else that you ain't dying enough to know
There's still some living left when your prime comes and goes
(Get Up, Get Up) Dance on the ceiling
(Get Up, Get Up) Boy, you must be dreamin'
Rock on young saviour, don't give up your hopes
I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they'll say 'All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice'
I'm the one who gets away
I'm a New Jersey success-story
And they'll say 'Lord, give me a chance to shake that hand'
I have one last wish
And it's from my heart
Just let me down
Just let me down
(easy)
I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they'll say 'All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice'
I'm the one who gets away
I'm a New Jersey success-story
And they'll say 'Lord, give me a chance to shake his hand'
It's how the hustle goes, see what the jukebox knows.
Put my last quarter on, I play "Authority Song".
Honesty or mystery?
Tell me I'm not scared anymore.
I got no secret purpose, I don't seem obvious do I?
I don't seem obvious do I?
The DJ never has it, J A M C Automatic.
If those were Roy's headphones, you bet he'd play "What Goes On".
Honesty or mystery?
Tell me I'm not scared anymore.
I got no secret purpose, I don't seem obvious do I?
I don't seem obvious do I?
Oh I'm here, that means something doesn't it?
Oh won't you dance with me a little bit?
Oh you don't notice, I guess the music's too loud.
It's how the hustle goes, see what the jukebox knows.
Put my last quarter on, I play "Authority Song".
Honesty or mystery?
Tell me I'm not scared anymore.
Say anything you want already I'm not scared anymore.
Honesty or mystery?
Want something else?
Just tell me I'm not scared anymore.
I got no secret purpose, I don't seem obvious do I?
Could've been a night like any other
One of us has to drive
One of us gets to think
I'll force a laugh to break the silence
It's gonna get harder still
Before it gets easy
You can't keep safe what wants to break
I'm alone in this
I'm all as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach
I was just a boy like every other
I thought I was something fierce
I thought I was ten times smarter
Love would be something that I just know
(Something I just know)
How you gonna know the feeling till you've lost it
I've been losing plenty since
I'm alone in this
I'm all as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach
Maybe something else I'm missing
Something good and your the reason
It's a dream but there's a real world waiting
I'm alone in this
I'm all as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach
I'm alone in this
I'm all as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
