Hey Rory, you're off to London
Playin' the blues with a band called Taste
Gonna hit the big time?
You better - you're the best
On your night you could even leave
Hendrix in the dust
I want to thank you for what you did
No more messin' with the Kid
Hero came back to Dublin
The only one sober we're all out of our heads
Long hair flyin'
Blue denims drippin with sweat
Volts of lightnin' in your fingers
Pride of bein' the best
What the hell happened, head,
Where did the lightnin' go?
Did it burn right through your fingers
To the cockles of your soul?
Leavin' you stranded
A million miles away from the rest of us....
I want to thank you for what you did
No more messin' with the Kid
So long, old son, that's it
Everyday's inspiration to further my cause
Hence the cause to all my problems
You're the chief accessory in this
I vouch to make another sandwich
Minutes lost in a clock that's torn by the seams
The rest is leaking out my pockets
Small creatures springing out from the bed
I get the notion that they're friendly
We don't need no friends
We're doing all right
They will never understand
Why I'm keeping you around
(so how you feeling?
ALRIGHT!)
Objects scatter all over the floor
Such an intricate collection
Notebook of scripture like a parade
It's Full of little flying numbers
A man said sharply take this all away
This shit is causing new distractions
A Lesson here, boy, if you listen to him
He's going to get you into trouble
Hey, the doctor knows what's best for me
He's going to save me from myself
We don't need no friends
We're doing all right
They will never understand
Why I'm keeping you around
We don't need no friends
We're doing all right
They will never understand
Why I'm keeping you around
The radio's busted â- non-operational
Felt this way for years
And there's nothing you can do that's going to change my mind
The radio's busted â- non-operational
I've felt this way for years
And there's nothing you can do that's going to change me
Hey, I know I know what's best for me
I'm going to save myself the way I should have long before you came
Hey, the doctor knows what's best for me
He's going to save me from myself
Hey, I know I know what's best for me
I'm going to save myself the way I should
Hey, the doctor knows what's best for me
He's going to save me from myself
We don't need no friends
We're doing all right
They will never understand
Why I'm keeping you around
We don't need no friends
We're doing all right
They will never understand
Why I'm keeping you around
Appreciated every word you said
Another hit, and I swear it's the last time
This should keep me in the straight and narrow
I'm such a sucker for the capital
She told me once, and that's all it took
To make me realize I'm starting over
It takes a strong boy, a strong push
And a reason to come clean
I've got a caddy, and a pistol
That says the light is turning green
There's sand grains in my hair
And love is in the air
So keep the rag top down
Because the sun's about to flicker out
There's no way
This closet's keeping me in here
I've got to break away
This gun is all that I've ever known
They took my lover away
Now I have upped the stakes
This confession is my only sin
Captivated by the passing lights
Incriminated by my growing up
And out of status premonitio is of their ways
I hold this curse at my arm's length out
I've got every reason to
My gut says, "Listen Up"
The other night there was this dream
That crept inside of me
I had this strangest walk
Half a dozen legs
Space Trips or ocean rifts
Concrete cracks
All look the same
I saw the whole damn armada fall into file
It's not my day today
Put on your face
If you don't like the sound
Then turn away
Because it's obvious
You don't have the means to stay alive
Give her praise
If you can't stand the sights, then turn away
In the morning I awoke
Got up and out of bed
I saw the common man
And my breath fell flate
I saw the children scurry
Following their providers
In a naus- a dizzy hurry
I yelled,
Every one of you all
Working for the same
You're hopeless brainwashed drones
There's no other way!"
Now I take these pills
That make me feel better
All the time,
They hypnotize my mind
Convince me that the world's still flat
I'm spinning off my axis
Don't know when I'll touch the ground
This airplane is spinning around
And parachutes are dancing on the wings!
Wake up to the buzzards contemplating
Taking bets on when I'll finally pass
Tattered signs point in all directions
No courtesy of food or beverage
Recollection of a chapel
A bar of whiskey kindred spin
Its filled the room
Should've known
By the way she kissed me
I was dealt a real smooth hand tonight
You were right
About always wanting more
There's nothing you can do now
You're snake eyes
I feel my eyes flicker open
This suitcase crushing
As it's pressed against my legs
The taste of duct tape fills my palate
My hands are sore
And bound by laces
Good night to the city lights
You were always bound to lose
This time i thought I had you on the upper hand
I should have known
You had something up your sleeve again
Dismiss all that's on your mind
Because your chariot awaits
And let's keep in mind
We've got all the time in the world
To get this right
So slip your black dress off tonight
The ammunition is bearfelt
So kiss me one more time
And kiss yourself goodbye...
I honestly didn't know
A lit cigarette and a break-up note
This time I'm going to go for Broken Burning holes
Through all the words that got to me the most she said,
"This is what you get
When everything you do in life's a mistake
Go on and fuck things up again."
Oh no, I think I'll find another bar.
This town is like a bad infection
Keep heading in the wrong direction
And everyone keeps telling me
I'd better play it safe
This is what you get
When everything you do life's a mistake
Try not to fuck things up again
Someday I'll catch up to where I've been
(We're heading in the wrong direction)
I'm so tired but home is where the hope is
I can't breath
Without your oxygen
Conscious but I'm barely breathing
All my gathered thoughts are seeping
In the alleyway I'm feeling dizzy
Hit the floor
This is what you get
When everything you do in life's a mistake
Try not to fuck things up again.
Someday I'll catch up to where I've been
I'm so tired but home is where the hope is
I can't breathe without your oxygen
My words are slurring but I won't stop singing
(Turn me upside down)
You know you want it
You know you need it
I'll never believe in love again
I think we've been through this before
Mistaken For:
You are attempted treason
And you fooled us all
Before the fall,
Your dignity pursued
The dirt you walk upon
But we've changed with the days
Still we've stayed
With integrity in fact
Sharpened our skills,
Keened up on looking down
Still we've stayed
With courtesy in mind
All of us idealize
In our leisure
We're still up to par
Still we've stayed
With our respect and appeal
Something truly unexpected
As opposed to corruption
Everything is plain and honest
As for you less of the latter
Where's your invitation?
Staring down at empty hands
Can somebody help me understand
(You won't ever stand on solid ground)
These walls are wearing misconceived observations
Feels so sick
Proper isn't what you call this
Infatuation, let it ring
Oh, the walls are singing as she bites her lip and smiles up at me
Body turns so she twists the bed sheets
a writing code, she wants me to know
that she's ready
and I'm ready to go
sitting on the hot seat
crown me sexy
rely on the senses
that don't have a face
I belong to you
I belong to you
You're sitting on the hot seat
I'll crown you sexy
Kiss me your majesty
at your will or whatever
I belong to you
I belong to you
Decent isn't what you call this
Bodies craving
Bodies hot and shimmering
Oh, I love your singing
I feel as if I should be the one to
Entwined here in shape and rhythm
I read the stories your body tells
Like the things you need
and the things you'll give me
Baby you're beautiful
But you're dangerous when you know it
And you know it
Because it's written on my mouth
And you taste it
sitting on the hot seat
crown me sexy
rely on the senses
that don't have a face
I belong to you
I belong to you
You're sitting on the hot seat
I'll crown you sexy
Kiss me, your majesty
at your will or whatever
I belong to you
I belong to you
Baby you're beautiful
But you're dangerous when you know it
And you know it
Because it's written on my mouth
And you taste it
Baby you're beautiful
But you're dangerous when you know it
And you know it
Because it's written on my mouth
And I taste it
sitting on the hot seat
crown me sexy
rely on the senses
that don't have a face
I belong to you
I belong to you
You're sitting on the hot seat
I'll crown you sexy
Kiss me, your majesty
at your will or whatever
I belong to you
I belong to you
There's no turning back from here
So many unfamiliar faces
This fright train is running off the track
Hey mister can you help me?
I seem to have lost
My way back home
There's no more taking chances
Embrace the ghost and kill this doubt
You can devour your demons
But they'll never let you go
There's no turning back from here
I'm leaving and I'm never coming back again
This gun is cocked
And suited with a bullet
Called regret
A million channels on the tv
All reruns of past mistakes
The static neither fact nor fiction
It's my excuse to get some sleep
Pulse racing I can feel the tension
Sweat dripping as it cuts across my brow
How hollow can a person feel?
There's no turning back from here
I'm leaving
And I'm never coming back again
This gun is cocked
And suited with a bullet
Called regret
How can you mean all those things you said
The lies that you told?
The blood has been washed off my hands
By the grace you've shown
typical
condescending ways and the games you play
running through my veins yeah
running through my veins yeah
running out of breath cause a second left kazaam
righteous dancing on
and my demons dance on
she's always telling me it's all the same
and now she's telling me I'm not to blame now
she's always telling me it's all the same
and she's telling me I'm not to blame now
so I'm leaping off this planet
head first into your arms (head first into your arms)
I'm a walking institution
this shit has gone too far
this is the last time
have to get you off my conscious
i hate it
how do you think you know me so well
this is the last time
so let me go
oh the beat starts coming (you got that right)
the rest start sliding
so get your long legs shaking
we all start singing
you're telling me it's all the same
now she's telling me I'm not to blame now
she's always telling me it's all the same
now she's telling me I'm not to blame now
so I'm leaping off this planet
head first into your arms
I'm a walking institution
this shit has gone too far too far now
this is the last time
have to get you off my conscious
i hate it
how do you think you know me so well
this is the last time
so let me go

sought what you couldn't find in me
I found a new way to kill this ending
sought what you couldn't find in me
I found a new way to kill this ending
yeah
kill this ending
oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
leaping off this planet
head first into your arms
I'm a walking institution
this shit has gone too far
this is the last time
have to get you off my conscious
i hate it
how do you think you know me so well
this is the last time
so let me go
so so well (she's the worst kind of lover)
so so well (it's the one time to love her)
so so well (she's the worst kind of lover)
so so well (she's the worst)
[x2]
go
It's a wish it was a minor set back
the situation grew so stale
a compromise wasn't established yet
you got the sharp end of the nail
so let's keep in mind the substance that you build
another lover's qualm that never got it's fill of anything
she said allusion's so sweet with your candy I smile
you're looking so sweet with your candy I smile
you're looking so sweet
red suspicions have been running round for days (running around for days)
you got the best of everything
you never wanted
when you'd take what you can get
and hope for the best of this
we have to give this one more try
woah
unexpected and so deceiving
you always seemed to make me smile
I can't believe I never figured you out
or knew so it took me a while
but I kept in mind the substance that you built
another lover's qualm that I can do without
she said allusion's so sweet with your candy I smile
you're looking so sweet with your candy I smile
allusion's so sweet with your candy I smile
allusion's so sweet
red suspicions have been running round for days (running around for days)
you got the best of everything
you never wanted
when you'd take what you can get
and hope for the best of this
we have to give this one more try
woah
she's had this feeling for a long time now
she's had this feeling that she wanted more
she's had this feeling for a long time now
she's had this feeling and she hated it oh so
how long will I wait here (how long will I wait here)
with you in mind
how long will I wait here (how long will I wait here)
with you in mind (in mind)
red suspicions have been running round for days
you got the best of everything
when you'd take what you can get
and hope for the best of this
we have to give this one more try
so let it go
[x7]
so let me
Somber with your hands by your side
Constrict me with your eyes defenseless
This is just a common misconception of the opposition
If this is what you want, a war
These protons draining my atmosphere
You'll never take me alive
Unless you wanna
There are jet streams in the airwaves
In the mouth of an avalanche
Still waiting for your answer
Waiting for the ship to leave the ground
Captain calling mayday
Search this quadrant for the astronaut
Still waiting for your answer
Waiting for the ship to leave the ground
Captain calling mayday
Search this quadrant for the astronaut
Somber with your hands by your side
Constrict me with your eyes defenseless
This is just a common misconception of the opposition
If this is what you want, a war
These protons draining my atmosphere
The grass is always greener on the other side of man
There's jet streams in the airwaves
In the mouth of an avalanche
Still waiting for your answer
Waiting for the ship to leave the ground
Captain calling mayday
Search this quadrant for the astronaut
Still waiting for your answer
Waiting for the ship to leave the ground
Captain calling mayday
Search this quadrant for the astronaut
Cockpit breathe fire
Life signs are fading out
Cockpit breathe fire
Life signs are fading out
Cockpit breathe fire
Life signs are fading out
Cockpit breathe fire
Life signs are fading out
They're fading out
Hey boy where did you come from?
Hey boy where did you go?
Hey boy where did you come from?
Hey boy where did you go?
Hey boy where did you come from?
Hey boy where did you go?
Hey boy where did you come from?
Hey boy where did you go?
Still waiting for your answer
Waiting for the ship to leave the ground
Captain calling mayday
Search this quadrant for the astronaut
Still waiting for your answer
Waiting for the ship to leave the ground
Captain calling mayday
Cheers to another one
Cheers to my discontentment
You wouldn't know a good thing
If you saw it
We've been marching
To the same beat for so long
It's beginning to tire my feet
It seems you've missed the point completely
And things aren't always
What they seem to be
This is just a nightmare
Just a dream
Psychosomatic evaluation
This is just a trip of the imagination
So watch your step
The planks are rotting beneath your path
And as you take your last breath
And grip the rope...
Still trapped by your own delusion
Create your own demise
Don't ever say I never told you so
Coincidence or not something's got to give
Ring for the butler with the tray on his sleeve
Tea time in the parlor this afternoon
Please round these unsuspecting guests
This picture's following me
This place, it gives me the creeps
There's something lurks behind the curtain
We're serving dinner tonight
It's full of poisoned delights
Why is the candle missing from the mantle
All is well in the manor here called grim
Wondering what this whole night will bring
Unsure of your intentions
Wondering what this whole night will bring
As you seek your infliction
The colonel has his sights on the mistress dress
As he salivates in his drink
The woman in red snickers at his face
How can you think of such thoughts at a time like this
Suddenly out went the lights
I hear a thud in the dark
Someone screams and everybody scuffles
The lights are coming back on
The colonel lies on the floor
There will be hell to pay
Whomever did this
All is well in the manor here called grim
Wondering what this whole night will bring
Unsure of your intentions
Wondering what this whole night will bring
As you seek your infliction
The maid is coming
The butler's coming
The maid is coming
The butler's coming
The maid is coming
The butler's coming
The maid is coming
The butler's coming
All is well in the manor here called grim
Wondering what this whole night will bring
Unsure of your intentions
Wondering what this whole night will bring
As you seek your infliction
Tell me when does on draw the line
The circumstance become benign
Is this the way it tends to feel
Looking all over of this
I bet your ignorance is bliss
Need I remind you who your friends are?
Looking for answers
But you never found a cure
So take your knife
Can you run it through me one more time
Little secrets
It's all over my head
I'd rather be naive
Than share everything once said
I wonder what it's like to be
Like you always
Using and being used
You lack the confidence
To set yourself apart
Cut the ties
And start loose ends
The finality just depends
On the always right as in you are
Looking for answers
But you never found a cure
So take your knife
Can you run it through me one more time
Lucid I see right through you
This is the end
Tonight I've got my back against the door
So when you leave I'll be the last
To wish you well
So amused by the irony
You made a wish upon my fist
Your wish came true
You said you're sorry
But I know very well
That nice guys finish last
I'm going crazy
Trying to set myself apart from this
Burn your bridges down
Pick your feet up off the ground
Get back in the ring
They tell me I'm sadistic
I tell you that it's true
I see you dancing with my girl
My eyes turn red
You say you're sorry
But I know very well
That nice guys finish last
It's not my place to say
It's not yours to take from me
"Arigato mister roboto"
I see you dancing
But you're just not good enough
Dance the night away
You're on fire
I'm going crazy
Trying to set myself apart from this
It's not my place to say
It's not yours to take from me
