Opening Lyrics
Forget prior engagements
Cancel your plans
Let's do something amazing while we still can
Main Lyrics
I can't breathe under water
I can't stand in the air
But I could tear up your whole world
And then not even care

Complete Lyrics
Forget Prior engagements
Cancel your plans
Let’s do something amazing
Why we still can
I'm floating above you
High on your kiss
We’re splashed like paint on the pavement
A beautiful waste
I'll drop bombs in the valley
If he comes near you
I'm gonna make something happen
Watch what you do
I can't breathe underwater
I can't stand in the air
But I will tear up your whole world
And not even care
So make lists of your lovers
People you kiss
Then tear them to pieces
Forget they exist
My hometown's a wasteland
Frightened of ghosts
We’re splashed like paint on the pavement
An image problem, this is it
We're gonna turn this dance on, with a switch
For you nervous dudes who move in rewind
An image problem, is all we have
She said are you all right there, I just laughed
I guess we really fucked up this time
So I have to remind myself
It's so rare that we need somebody else
We take care to be dangers to ourselves
And this dance might be all that we have left
The safety is off and it's loaded
Has every girl you ever met, put a sex machine gun to
your head
And ask you does sex still sell
It's so rare that we need somebody else
We take care to be dangers to ourselves
And this dance might be all that we have left
I don't know what her name is
Sex sells like a weapon that's loaded, and being pushed
to our temples
I turned to my friend and the look in his eyes said
I might never be as young as I am again
I said that we’d go when the next good song comes on
He said make it fast man let’s not stay here too long
To give a little means I have to spend until I die
The underground is mainstream and the mainstream is a lie
She says she’s wasting her time in this city in this room
But please don’t believe me when I say I don’t miss you
So tie up my hands and then I’ll keep my hands to myself
So tie up my hands I won’t lay them on anyone else
So tie up my hands but who complains when walking from hell
Tie them up tie them up
Was walking home half asleep nowhere to go to
That’s me in the back seat and you in the photo
Looked up from a taxicab swear that I’d seen her
The rain in the stoplight was as if I dreamed her
And everybody tells me that bad weather’s coming in
I hate the way I look and I despise the way I sing
And everybody hates themselves despite all that they say
But I can’t complain though welcome a new day
Looked up from the taxicab swear that I seen her
The rain in the stoplight was as if I dreamed her
I swear that I swear that I swear that I seen her
He makes me nervous and i know why
This secret service this dead end guy
And ever since i was a young man
I've been waiting for right now
Take off your name tag, push through the crowd
I haven't seen you in months and months
Been snorting diamonds and stealing cars
and every time i see you these days
It feels like we never met
I can't remember, i can't forget
It's the angel complication
You've got to get there your own way man,
Then you've just got to do it again
And It's the angel being questioned
You've got to get there your own way man,
And then you've just got to do it again
I think about us now and then
These golden years that we're drowing in
We'll spend our whole lives trying to get to a place
We dont want to be
Take off your t-shirt, lie next to me
And it's the angel complication
You've got to get there your own way man,
And then you've just got to do it again
And It's the angel being wasted
Reminding me once again, that i have no friends
I'm alone and will end up as dead as everyone else
And It's the angel complication
You've got to get there your own way man,
And then you've just got to do it again
And It's the angel from the pavement
It crys a song that lasts forever
I hate to remember
Like a skull balloon
I believe in us
So put the pedal down
And turn your highbeams off
Main Lyrics
And anytime that your walls start coming down
I'll be there in the front seat yelling
Run the red light, run the red light, run it
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Complete Lyrics
And like a skull balloon
I believe in us
So put the pedal down
And turn your hobbies off
And I'd dial in your number hoping that your awake
It's a loss sometimes but that's the risk that I'll take
I believe in us
I believe in us
So put your diamonds up for auction
But don't kiss me
I wont let you
Shout my name into the ocean
But don't kiss me
I wont let you
I believe in us
And any time that your walls start coming down
I'll be there in the front seat
Yelling run the red light
Run the red light
Run it
I hate the way that I don't say what I want
What I want
Is the world what you want
Run the red light
Run the red light
Run it ohh
So out of eden
Don't look back now
But don't touch me
I wont let you
Down in my town
Lay down girly
But don't touch me
I wont let you
I believe in us
And any time that your walls start coming down
I'll be there in the front seat
Yelling run the red light
Run the red light
Run it
I hate the way that I don't say what I want
What I want
Is the world what you want
Run the red light
Run the red light
Make some noise
So drive your car into the ocean
But don't kiss me
I wont let you
Make some headlines
Call your family
But don't touch me
I wont let you
Run the red light
Run it ohh
And any time that your walls start coming down
I'll be there in the front seat
Yelling run the red light
Run the red light
Run it
I hate the way that I don't say what I want
What I want
Is the world what you want
Run the red light
Run the red light
Run it
Run the red light
Run the red light
And last week on swan street
People pointed at me and said boy that's so last week So
I tried last night
And they laughed had a drink and said boy your alright
So hold on And be strong
When you think it's as good as it gets
I can show you how to win at
Russian roulette
Pull the trigger
Pull the trigger
Pull the trigger
Pull it
And if we could just be
Quiet for one second I think they would see
And so leave, but don't leave
Because she's throwing me thinks out onto the street
So hold on And be strong
When you think it's as good as it gets
I can show you how to win at
Russian roulette
Pull the trigger
Pull the trigger
Pull the trigger
Pull it
I'm B-grade, underweight but excited to be here
I don't mean what I say, it's ok, please believe me
I said I'm sorry, we could shake hands on it
I said I'm sorry, we could shake hands on it
And red carpets unroll like tongues all around us
Shot down like pro-choice doctors in Texas
We make out for a while and I felt like an actor
But when we left it was light and I just felt embarrased
I said I'm sorry, we could shake hands on it (ooooh)
I said I'm sorry, we could shake hands on it (ooooh)
I said I'm sorry, we could shake hands on it (ooooh)
I said I'm sorry, we could shake hands on it (ooooh)
It used to be the only reason I breathed,
but now it's just choking me up
Don't say no, just shut up and swallow,
shut up and swallow,
I said I'm sorry
I'm B-grade underweight, out of place, dehydrated
Inhaling peroxided conversation
I've a confession to make and you're not gonna like it
I stand up and clench my fist, my life determined in fifteen minutes
I said I'm sorry, we could shake hands on it (ooooh)
I said I'm sorry, we could shake hands on it (ooooh)
I said I'm sorry, we could shake hands on it (ooooh)
I said I'm sorry, we could shake hands on it (ooooh)
I used to be a main contender
Arrive alone and piece together
Why did I come here to be ignored?
Late afternoon the stations crowded
I'm alone but meeting someone
Take me somewhere I've not been before
Beneath the satellites
I'll meet you there
We'll watch the city swallowing the sky
Beneath the satellites
I'll meet you there
I wish that I had tried to care more
I wish that I had had some forethought
I wish that I could feel the way you feel
If everything is so fantastic
If this is our time
Then why do I feel like I'm missing out?
Beneath the satellites
I'll meet you there
We'll watch the city swallowing the sky
Beneath the satellites
I'll meet you there
We'll watch the city swallowing the sky
What's that you say you say to me we're wasting all our
time
I don't believe the sun will ever set
Beneath the satellites
I'll meet you there
We'll watch the city swallowing the sky
Beneath the satellites
Is this the way
The way Ive always been
Well from today
Ill never be the same
And in a hundred years from now
If its bored and tired of falling down
Its all because, its all because of you
Its all because, its all because of you
Its all because, its all because of you
This is the last phone call I ever wasted on you
This is the broken bone oh oh oh oh
Oh honey will you change your ways we're not the boys
you see on TV
And now when I see you, Im choking on the neon exhaust
fumes
And when you left me and never thinking of me
I did it for the reason a reason I remember
And its all because because of you
Its all because because of you
Its all because because of you
Its all because because of you
And so I promised myself that this would be the last
time
But if I can hear right now oh oh oh
Oh honey will you change your ways, were not the boys
you knew from high school
And when you left me and never thinking of me
I did it for the reason a reason I remember for you
And hey man, don't let me out of your sight
Dont walk away
Youre staying here tonight
Its all because because of you
Its all because because of you
Its all because because of you
It's coming like an avalanche
It's coming like an avalanche
And if you ask me I would not say no...
It's coming like an avalanche
This could be all you wanted
This could be all you're waiting for
That's right, last night, outside the factory
They signed you up for computer love
And so I called you up
But forgot what I said
Took a thousand drinks
But we couldn't feel it
It's not gonna happen
It's not gonna happen
It's not gonna happen
Don't be that industry
Don't push so hard that I can't breath
Don't be anti gravity
Pulling me away
Don't be that industry
Don't push so hard that I can't breath
Don't be anti gravity
Pulling me away
Pulling me away
And so I prepared for this
I'm better than all your friends
I am the calls on the freeway honey
But if you want me to
I could be shallow with you
To tell the truth I could see it coming
Don't be that industry
Don't push so hard that I can't breath
Don't be anti gravity
Pulling me away
Don't be that industry
Don't be the voice that steals my sleep
Don't be anti gravity
Pulling me away
Don't be that industry
Don't push so hard that I can't breath
Don't be anti gravity
Pulling me away
It's not gunna happen
It's not gunna happen
It's not gunna happen
Remember us?
We're the ones who made the party suck
Changed the music playing way too much
And then turned it off
And she was like there's no point to my entire life
Well that sounds so bad but feels alright
Maybe that's the point, don't relax we're not finished
But tonight everything's going to change
She's broken in every way
Wasted nights turn into wasted days
Tonight everything's going to chance
Airport tags, she was gone now she's coming back
I was worried but it's not that bad
Nothing much has changed
So hang yourself in the bedroom at you parent's house
Watch as all your best friends gather round
And you might feel loved
I love the evening
For temporary romance
Your friends are leaving
I couldn't let you drink alone
There's ninety ways to
Leave your lover
I'm one of them
One thing to ask before I go
Where is your boyfriend tonight shame he couldn't be
here
Where is your boyfriend tonight shame he couldn't be
here
I woke up screaming
I put on clothes and staggered out
So take my hand and
I'm feeling so much better now
The music starts to sounds the same
The perfume of the cheap champagne
We move behind the clouded game
Temporary romance
Where is your boyfriend tonight?
Where is your boyfriend tonight?
Calling you since half past nine
Shame he couldn't be here
There's 90 ways to leave your lover
I'm one of them
One thing to ask before I go
I said I can't let you drink alone
I said I can't let you drink alone
You know I can't let you drink alone
I couldn't let you leave
Where is your boyfriend tonight?
And like a skull balloon
I believe in us
So put the pedal down
And turn your high beams off
And I'd dial in your number hoping that your awake
It's a loss sometimes but that's the risk that I'll take
I believe in us
I believe in us
So put your diamonds up for auction
But don't kiss me
I wont let you
Shout my name into the ocean
But don't kiss me
I wont let you
I believe in us
And any time that your walls start coming down
I'll be there in the front seat
Yelling run the red light
Run the red light
Run it
I hate the way that I don't say what I want
What I want is to want what you want
Run the red light
Run the red light
Run it ohh
So out of eden
Don't look back now
But don't touch me
I wont let you
Down in my town
They don't care now
But don't touch me
I wont let you
I believe in us
And any time that your walls start coming down
I'll be there in the front seat
Yelling run the red light
Run the red light
Run it
I hate the way that I don't say what I want
What I want is to want what you want
Run the red light
Run the red light
Make some noise
So drive your car into the ocean
But don't kiss me
I wont let you
Make some headlines
Kill your family
But don't touch me
I wont let you
Run the red light
Run it ohh
And any time that your walls start coming down
I'll be there in the front seat
Yelling run the red light
Run the red light
Run it
I hate the way that I don't say what I want
What I want is to want what you want
Run the red light
Run the red light
Run it
Run the red light
Run the red light
I remember pretending that nothing was wrong
Turn it off turn it back on
And the silence played like a song
As the oxygen dried up
And too much wasted time
You put it right down, put it right down
At midnight my future slides into a cab
I'm wasted, I've lost all I have
I swear that I'll get it all back
As the oxygen dries up
Too much wasted time
Don't worry I'll be fine
And then you put it right down, put it right down
And I will deal with this in my own way
And when you're all alone And bitching down the phone
I'll cut you to the bone because I don't need you So get
behind me and You'll be the only one You'll be the only
When you were seventeen You wrote down all your dreams
But don't know what they mean now I'll show you So get
behind me and You'll be the only one You'll be the only
And outside 109 They're felling good I'm felling fine I
sacrificed all my time on you Outside 109
Outside 109
It wasn't supposed to be like this She said as she looked
Waste all your time on nowhere boys
And then complain that no one stays with you
Bury yourself in tasteless clothes
If you don't mean it then just say you do
And I caught my best friend say I'm drowning man
And he said hang on I'll call you back
Everybody's talking,
Everyone has nothing to say
Wake me up at seven
Wake me up and show me the way
It's so hard to believe it
So hard for no reason
I'm ok
Everybody's talking
Everyone has nothing to say
And I'm so bored of your place right now
I'm so bored of everything I see
I'll take this way too far tonight
In the morning I'm where I used to be
And now that I'm sick of you and you're sick of me
Yeah we wait for someone else
I caught my best friend said I'm drowning here
And he said I've got too much to do
Everybody's talking,
Everyone has nothing to say
Wake me up at seven
Wake me up and send me away
It's hard to believe it
Somehow for some reason
I'm ok
Everybody's talking
Everyone has nothing to say
And we wait for someone else
And we wait for someone else
And we wait for someone else
When we left off I was choking on asbestos
They've seen it all and they're not impressed
And after prime-time celebrities with fragile jaw lines
Force us all to feel underdressed, Impressed?
This party is finished, give us xanax and fifteen minutes
I had my alibi tight that night
And change the station the bottled water generation
And four white boys getting high tonight
Twenty thousand kids all on their mobile phones
You wanna fight us but you don't wanna take it
She's just waiting for something better
She's only with you until she changes her mind
She's just waiting for something better
Everything all the time
In the nightclub, I was there it wasn't like that
You come here just to start a fight
And change the station this bottled water generation
And four white boys getting high tonight
He'll be dead in an hour
Here's your phone back, a taxi is coming now
So let me know when you want to leave
We'll melt the plastic and find out what's underneath
You've got to kill your doubt
Open your mouth up and spit all the white noise out
And half past ten I call back, I put on war paint and act
like I never asked
My blood turns white
I can't believe what you just said
I've been through this before, i hoped I never would
again
As girls shine like magazines
Avoid us falling like masonry
I had to asked myself, what are you thinking
My mouth is filling with glass, what are you thinking
My blood is laced with caffeine
Melt through the plastic and find out what's underneath
The music is louder than god
The future is rushing at me like asphalt
Remind myself that I could walk away now
Wake up one day and this will all be gone
What did you say, I see you and I remember why I stay
I had to ask myself what are you thinking
I've waited my whole life for you to come around
Turn off the music and said that I'll see you tomorrow
But I don't think I'm likely to come back
Try to be a punisher take two pills every morning
But I don't think I'm likely to do that
Hey chrome messiah
Put down that child
The coke head's camera
Just loves your smile
Loves your smile
Loves your smile
Sarah stole my voice today my phone rings I don't
answer
This generation's mutant staying home
Promise you won't tell a soul
My brain fills up with cancer
If you change your plans just let me know
Hey chrome messiah
Put down that child
The coke head's camera
Just loves your smile
Loves your smile
Loves your smile
Yeah yeah yeah
Hey chrome messiah
Put down that child
The coke head's camera
Just loves your smile
Loves your smile
And we came into town
And we came into town
And I've been off the bus for like five minutes now
Spent the night in the rain
Spent the night in the rain
And we'd do it all in for a party again
And I just want you to know
And I just want you to know
Yeah I just want you to know
Here they complain that the city has changed but I
wouldn't want it to stay the same anyway
As I was saying as we danced in the rain
That this city is burned on the outside
Frozen on the inside
Frozen on the inside, yeah
In the hallway for hours
In the hallway for hours
And it feels like a knife's going backwards right now
Then she cuts her wrists
She cuts her wrists
Says there's no way in hell you're gonna treat me like
this
And I just want you to know
And I just want you to know
And I just want you to know, know, know know!
Here they complain that the city has changed but I
wouldn't want it to stay the same anyway
As I was saying as we danced in the rain
That this city is burned on the outside
Frozen on the inside
Frozen on the inside, yeah
It's frozen on the inside
Frozen on the inside, yeah
Here they complain that the city has changed but I
wouldn't want it to stay the same anyway
And I don't go, but I still I get told
That the girls are so young
And the girls are so old
But the one thing I know
That is still just a mess
We just boast all about
All the drugs that we've had
Then when she cuts her wrists
Then when she cuts her wrists
Then when she cuts her wrists
Then when she cuts her wrists
(Frozen on the inside)
She cuts them so deep
(Frozen on the inside)
She cuts them so deep
(Frozen on the inside)
It puts her to sleep
(Frozen on the inside)
God is dead so meet the kids now: they're on stage for
Download them all sick and pale and used
Every night's exaggerated but there's nothing new
These neon lights could never shine through you
But underneath our conversation an unspoken truth
If you wait for me, I'll wait for you
So meet me underneath the station and I'll wait for you
These cardboard towns are all we ever knew
No one's around the streets are quiet now, a familiar
tune
We'll complain that there's nothing much to do
And every night will be, no one but you and me
I can't say, but still it shows, I don't want you to go
And underneath our conversation, an unspoken truth
But right now
There's cameras at the back
Between the clubs and the cab
And you've looked better man
The night drowned
And I just couldn't keep up
I heard you're laughing and stopped
Then turned round round
The best thing, yeah that could happen today is
I won't be in the place that I was yesterday
The phone ring, this time it's worse than I thought
She thought my feelings were hurt but I couldn't have
cared less
I got friends and they talking to me on a mobile phone
I got friends and they're waiting for me I am not alone
And how long must I wait til you come back again
We should not be apart one second more
So just wait, on second thoughts its ok why did you
leave anyway
Can't remember today
So come back I got a feeling bout this
Together we'll put a brick through this social
windshield
I got friends and they talking to me on a mobile phone
I got friends and they're waiting for me I am not alone
And how long must I wait til you come back again
We should not be apart one second more
I've got friends
I've got friends
I've got friends of my own
I've got friends
I've got friends
You got edgy looking clothes It's personality though I
don't know where you're from But I know where you'll go
Have a pointless conversation With the people you know
Buy a shirt like the rest Then you'll but it on show
When fashion walks you listen I see a price tag on you; I
see a price tag on you But I know you better than your
clothes
And I know that you won't stop Anything that they say Is
the colour the shape And the size of the waist And I
never have to guess Where you'll be on Wednesday I can
come if you like I can come but can't stay
Last night I slept in a strangers bed, last night I slept
in a strangers bed I think I'll do it again Was just once
I could stop it at any time, was just once I could stop
it at any time But then she did it again
In council flats we're falling down like the rain Don't
watch TV they say that it fucks up your brain I'll do
whatever it takes, I'll do whatever it takes
You're making it worse now I'm trying to help You when
you cant make it Home by yourself And how could you do
this For only a kiss I tried to get to you You treat me
like this
You treat me like this?
You're best friends with ugly people
So you'll stand out in a crowd
You keep it PC and street legal
Turn it up but not too loud yeah
Notice her sleep walk dances?
Gets her moves off the MTV
Clubs filled with pimps and gangstas
DJ spinning that RNB yeah
Report to the dancefloor
Go go go go
The kids all tune in to
The black and white radio
Go go go go
Go go go go
Get up and dance to the black radio
You're best friends with ugly people
So you'll stand out in a crowd
You keep it PC and street legal
Turn it up but not too loud yeah
Report to the dancefloor
Go go go go
The kids all tune in to
The black and white radio
Go go go go
Go go go go
Get up and dance to the black radio
Go go go go
Get up and dance to the black radio
And did you notice her sleep walk dances?
It's just a question without an answer
The kids all log on
The kids all download
The kids all tune in to the black and white radio
Too self obsessed and too much TV
Underneath this avalanche of golden teeth
I didn't get much sleep at the start of the week
Underneath this avalanche of golden teeth
It's like my chest is caving in
A starch black dress on a CEO
And as you stretch your skin for another photo
Your face is caving in
If I'm paid for my time, it'll be just fine
Watch me dip my hand in the iodine
My chest is caving in
Long time no see, where have you been
Before I get to say it you get taken away
You never go but you never stay
My secrets smell like spit and everybody knows
I'll hang myself with the cord of the telephone
My chest is caving in
I get so bored that my teeth start to hurt
In this museum of neon t-shirts
This room is caving in
When we're both coming down but you still come around
You can sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the ground
