I just can't get the ending right.
I'm so desperate tonight.
It seems only right to let the shadows lead the way.
If I could only just decide.
To let go of my insides.
I know that I'll never have to feel this way again.
And I'm caught in between.
My waking life and dreams.
Death's just as lonely as before.
I still remember you when.
This is all too familiar now.
I know I've seen this place before. But I just don't recall.
I don't feel like I'm awake. But I'm not dreaming.
What was it that I came here for?
They held us down.
But now we're breaking loose.
We swore that we'd let nothing stand in our way.
And when I'm gone.
I will come back to haunt you.
I'll still watch over you my love.
When you're on your way to me.
Don't forget the taste of me.
And don't forget the feel of me.
With my arms around you.
Those memories will never fade.
Like all the promises we made.
This is all too familiar now.
I know I've seen this place before. But I just don't recall.
I don't feel like I'm awake. But I'm not dreaming.
What was it that I came here for?
From below. The sun will rise.
And give us time to clear our heads.
The end is breathing down my neck.
Though hope is all that we have left.
The pain in understanding. Why we can't take it all back.
It's time to finally let go. Of everything we've known.
This is all too familiar now.
I know I've seen this place before. But I just don't recall.
I don't feel like I'm awake. But I'm not dreaming.
What was it that I came here for?
I swear I'll find you before I drift away.
This is all too familiar now.
I know I've seen this place before. But I just don't recall.
I don't feel like I'm awake. But I'm not dreaming.
Let's run like kids at play
Hold our breath
'till our hearts stop beating, hearts stop beating
Let's run like kids at play
Hold our breath
'till our hearts stop beating, hearts stop beating
Let's run like kids at play
Hold our breath
'till our hearts stop beating, hearts stop beating
Let my last breath
Be something I hold dear
Let my, let my last breath
Let my, let my last breath
Be something I hold
God Damn
Something I Hold
To myself, can't walk away
As I try my best
But, is it enough?
I decide my past, isn't enough
I decide my past
Hold your breath
Is it enough?
Hold your breath
Is it enough?
Hold your breath
Is it enough?
Hold your breath
Is it enough?
Hold your breath
Is it enough?
Hold your breath
I've got everything I need
To keep you at my side
A new reason every day
To keep my head up
And this will be the last time
You get to see my face
Till winter's end comes crashing down (comes crashing down)
I never understood what living like this does
Part of me was lost so long ago
If we move with the waves
I'll breathe in the air
We'll walk till the sea is all that we're near
With worn empty hands and tired eyes
Will hope be all we have left
As I keep myself away
I'll stay my course
Words come so hard but you're with me
When I sleep
Keep moving
I've tried so hard
Keep moving
This can't be it
Keep moving
Remind myself it's worth the fight
You will meet my hands
If this takes me
I'll leave my words on the wind
When it all comes down
To a frozen ocean between us
Keep me alive
You're everything that keeps me
I've got more than just pictures to keep you at my side
When distance becomes clear
I'll keep my head up
If you move with the waves
I'll breathe in the air
We'll walk till the sea is all that we're near
With worn empty hands and tired eyes
Will hope be all we have left
Will hope be all we have left
I am no stranger to loss.
I've seen more than my eyes can bare.
We are both love and hate.
Lead by hearts and taken like dust to the air.
Our paths may crawl like vines.
Held high and left for the wind to taste.
But our names mean nothing if we fail.
And we will run ourselves withered and raw.
Make the earth shake.
We will.
Make the earth shake.
Make the earth.
Make the earth.
In the name of a woman. Standing anxious at a window.
Counting waves to see. Our letters wash up.
Swearing us safe. Cut through the night.
Close your eyes. And ride the wind.
Into the depths. Her flowing beauty.
Never said what would become of us.
A truth too great for concern.
She wore her heart. Like a blood red stain.
On the chest of a velvet gown.
Thrown bare at the mouth of hell.
And all the grace. That she gave to the world.
Comes down tonight. Comes down tonight.
So we share. Our frozen gaze. An assuring bond.
To carry on. To carry on.
We'll never be the same. No we'll never be the same.
Home becomes our sun. breaking the horizon.
Like a spotlight to tired eyes.
Brilliant as the sun. breaking the horizon.
Like a spotlight to tired eyes.
So we lit the sails. And cast ourselves in.
To the searching eyes. We were a wreck.
A sight for miles. A scene to break.
A thousand hearts. If on ashes. We wash ashore.
Then by the sea we are spared.
We are spared and pure.
Into the depths. Her flowing beauty.
Never said what would become of us.
A truth too great for concern.
She wore her heart. Like a blood red stain.
On the chest of a velvet gown.
Thrown bare at the mouth of hell.
Never forget. The fury of a well aimed promise.
Short black dress falls
off her shoulders
we're on top of the world
the evening airs intoxicating
we're on top of the world
We're on top of it!
We're on top of it!
Drink away
drown away problems
just move on
Drink away
drown away problems
just move on
All you can swallow is still jsut a mouthful.
Ready?
let's take our time
lay out her insides
Ready?
let's take our time
lay out her insides
Ready?
let's take our time
lay out her insides
Ready?
let's take our time
lay out her insides
One cut from this knife
and we'll bleed out our insides
Your eyes gut me
like the, sharpest of knives
Your eyes gut me
like the, sharpest of knives
Your eyes gut me
like the, sharpest of knives
Your eyes gut me
like the, sharpest of knives
You looked so much better then
You looked so much better then
You looked so much better then
You looked so much better then
"Don't panic," she said, "just hold tight,
To the sky my love. We're the lonely ones."
We are the lonely ones.
I'm sure that there will be no sleep tonight.
So I'll just keep filling up my lungs.
Save for a few long nights,
And a slow dance with a bad idea.
I've never been more buried in trouble,
Than the day that I met you.
Motherfucking yeah.
You know I've always said,
Your mistakes are something you can't forget.
And when your past comes back around,
You gotta face it.
How could it feel so right,
When I'm doing you wrong?
How could it feel so right,
When I'm doing you wrong?
You know I've always said,
Your mistakes are something you can't forget.
And when your past comes back around.
You gotta face it.
How could it feel so right,
When I'm doing you wrong?
How could it feel so right,
When I'm doing you...
All of the lines we cross,
Scarlet ribbons float away
She lets down her hair
Polished, lips that tear
Your heart from, your chest
All we are looking
All we are looking found
I've found
Young love, nursing an old soul.
I'll lay my pride down
I am still for you
And with a heart of gold
I am still for you
I'll see them looking
I'll see them looking
There hearts have broken
They're free
They die for you
Darling, when we dance
And you sparkle
My prize
Kiss me with that look in your eye
so they know that your mine
Beg love, take mercy
Filthy is only skin deep
Beg love, take mercy
Filthy is only skin deep
Mercy, mercy on me
I'll lay my pride down
I am still for you
And with a heart of gold
This is not at all what it seems.
There is no sorrow,
Or regret for the choices that we've made
You'll be gone like them tomorrow.
God Damn!
I'm no killer!
They'll be looking
They'll be searching for days,
To find a trace of your body.
I remember the suggestions you made
When you drove to my house.
Where you looking for trouble?
I know all those houses look the same.
We'll keep on moving with the wind at our backs.
I don't want to see you fall apart
When they come to get you.
(You're safe and sound)
I know we can have at this head start
And I'm sure we'll pull through.
(I'll keep you hidden with me)
Tell me that we'll make it out alive
I know this desert has got it's ghosts
I know it's just a matter
A matter of time
Before they find us
Oh! My! My!
Oh! Hell yes!
You'll be buried in your party dress.
I'll hide my face from the sun.
And the fire wont stop,
Fire wont stop me.
You're not my usual
My usual
Usual victim
Well keep on moving with the wind at our back
I don't want to see you fall apart
When they come to get you.
(You're safe and sound)
I know we can have at this head start
And I'm sure we'll pull through.
(I'll keep you hidden with me)
Oh! My! My!
Oh! Hell yes!
You'll be buried in your party dress.
I'll hide my face from the sun.
And the fire wont stop,
Fire wont stop me.
Oh! My! My!
Call it done and easy. over and over.
But we'll never learn.
How to slow down. how to slow down.
Done easy. over and over.
But we'll never learn.
How to slow down. not to slow down.
Until you cower like a lie gone wrong.
Just say the words. and let me know.
We can't survive. if we both let go.
There might be love. buried somewhere.
Far beneath our pride. it's worth finding.
If you'll breath life. in it with me.
You told me all that you've known. are the lonely places.
So lets get closer now.
We're holding on to. the things we need the most.
Hold on as close as we can.
You're pushing. all the doubts.
From my head. like you need them.
But you paint yourself the victim.
You're pulling. at my hand.
Like you're ready to fall.
But there's no stopping this at all.
There's so much to say. but nothing comes out right.
It's best that we leave it. to our movements.
We move so well. your lips speak no words.
It's best that we leave it.
It's best that we leave it.
Behind close doors.
Just say the words. and let me know.
We cam't survive. if we both let go.
You told me all that you've known. are the lonely places.
So lets get closer now.
We're holding on to. the things we need the most.
Hold on as close as we can.
This time. we'll keep it all to ourselves.
We're keeping it quiet. this time.
We'll keep it to ourselves.
Though we know this isn't right. at all.
You're pushing. all the doubts.
From my head. like you need them.
But you paint yourself the victim.
You're pulling. at my hand.
Like you're ready to fall.
You have lost yourself
You well never be found
We'll cut from ear to ear
We will open you up
You have that look upon your face
The kind that razor's can trace
Can we cut to the point?
Can we cut to the point?
Where (where) have (have) the carving knives gone?
Where (where) have (have) the carving knives gone?
We will leave you underground
Screaming up so loud, you won't make a sound
We will leave you underground
Screaming up so loud, you won't make a sound
Last chance
Last breath
Last word
Tell them a prayer
Lost in love
Lost in love
Lost in love
Lost in love
Lets leave this place behind
destroy everything inside
Whats it gonna take
to make you feel alive(feel alive)
Whats it gonna take
to open up your eyes
TO OPEN UP YOUR EYES
Its time to get out of this town
This torture(this torture)
Your fear holds you down
Move forward
Move forward
Your silent sound
These words
Don't always come out right
But i feel that
were wasting time
Letting go of our troubles were still holding tight
These words
don't always come out right
But I feel that were wasting time
Are we wasting our time
Are we still holding tight
It was all we felt
To look towards the sky
To breathe in the air
To be in the shadows
When the day ends
Youve lost your pride
Wont you give up
Im not giving up
til the angels die
we look to the sky
To the skies
To the skies
We've all had our enemies
We'll leave the past behind
I don't feel like losing sleep
I cant see it in my eyes
Weve all had our enemies
I don't feel like losing sleep
I cant see it in my eyes
You can see it in my eyes
you can see it in my eyes
These words
Don't always come out right
But i feel that
were wasting time
Letting go of our troubles were still holding tight
all These words
don't always come out right
But I feel that were wasting time
Are we wasting our tiem
Are we still holding tight
Are we wasting our tiem
Are we still holding tight
Ill leave my heart here
by your bedside
If you swear that your eyes wont stray
to be honest, open, and hoping,
To find the words to say
Ill leave my heart here
by your bedside
If you swear that your eyes wont stray
Don't let this slip away.
Breathe it in. Hold it in.
You will miss it when it's gone.
You have so much to say.
So listen to yourself.
We are nothing. If we suffer alone.
Remember where you came from.
Will our hearts still beat in time.
Do we fear living our lives alone.
After everything is said and done.
Will you make it on your own.
After all the times.
That we've lost sleep.
Are you still trying.
Are you giving up on us.
I've yet to figure it out.
It's something that I just don't understand.
Are you giving up on us.
We're losing reason. Keeping our hearts. Hidden.
We are nothing. If we suffer alone.
Remember where you came from.
Will our hearts still beat in time.
Do we fear living our lives alone.
After everything is said and done.
You will make it on your own.
After all the times.
That we've lost sleep.
Are you still trying.
Are you giving up on us.
I've yet to figure it out.
It's something that I just don't understand.
Are you giving up.
Are you giving up on us.
This withered silence. Is making me sick.
You have one chance. You're making me sick.
You have one chance. Don't let us slip away.
Open your hands. Revel in promises.
Of living forever. Of living for today.
But we are nothing. If we suffer alone.
We are nothing. If we suffer alone.
A hard fall
On a rough path
Her body her betrayer
She spoke as she fought back
To lose is to lose
But I'll never die for you
And now I'm saved with
The flare, the spark, the alarm
I am willing this
I'm not alone in this fight
You've made a curse of it
There's no excuse for the trite
Not one
Would they believe
The things we've done
This gives my sleepless nights
A reason to be home
They're crying out
As they make their way down
In the midst of all this drowning
What will come of us
Swing now hard
The reveille sounds
Was it worth it
They set the fire
With eyes so wide
A sudden sense of comfort
Washed over them at once
They're crying out
As they make their way down
In the midst of it
What became
Swing now hard
With eyes so wide
What a brilliant plan. to steal a heart.
Carve your name. carve your name.
She will learn it well. you let her down.
You let her down. so gently.
And now she looks. only straight ahead.
Lie to me. lie to me.
Tell me you never expected. her to leave.
And it cuts you deep. right where you wanted.
And it cuts you deep. where it hurts the most.
I hope it cuts you deep. where it hurts the most.
But the sad thing is. it's just what you fucking wanted.
And now she looks. only straight ahead.
Lie to me. lie to me.
Tell me you never expected. her to leave...
I'm breathing the life back into love.
She's coming around.
I'm breathing the life back into love.
She's waking up.
And the same graceful wind. that carried her to me.
Will turn cold on you. will bring you to your knees.
When the stage caves in. what part of you will live.
And who would pay to watch you die.
Tell me you never expected. her to leave.
I'm breathing the life back into love.
She's coming around.
I'm breathing the life back into love.
She's waking up.
I've been looking. for you in my dreams.
Our lives are theirs now.
And they've buried our love.
They thought that we'd forget.
They thought that we'd forget.
Come alive.
Just to see her face again.
If not in this life.
Than the next.
You spoke it oh so well.
After all the ink is gone.
The letters fade and the page goes on.
After all the ink is gone.
The letters fade.
Out falls the sun.
Giving proof. to our hope.
We will echo. forever.
Dear general. reflect glory.
We will find a way to their hearts.
Reflect glory on us.
We will fight our way tho their hearts.
We are nameless. in this place
And should the wind blow.
Let it carry us home.
We are nameless. in this place
And should the wind blow.
Let it carry us home.
We are alive.
You'll never see this place again.
Let them know you are love.
After all the ink is gone.
The letters fade and the page goes on.
After all the ink is gone.
The letters fade.
Out falls the sun.
Giving proof. to our hope.
We will echo. forever.
We will find a way. to speak on our regrets.
That we've been holding inside ourselves.
The storm has arrived at the worst of times.
There's nothing on the ground.
But it's all coming down.
For now we'll lay here.
Trying to see. when we fall from this winter.
What will be underneath.
This is our chance. to give all we have.
We are nameless. in this place
And should the wind blow.
Let it carry us home.
We are nameless. in this place
And should the wind blow.
Playing poker hard to make a living
Sometimes are all take
But it ain't no it ain't no giving
Baby no no
Between your legs I know what I'm playing for
So you see my excitement grow
Oh baby watch it grow
My luck is changing
Do you believe it
I'm holding all the aces in my hands that's right
I see your poker faces
I'm a bad motherfucker tonight
I'm holding all the aces in my hands that's right
I see your poker faces stop me stop me tonight
When you're holding all the aces
When you're holding all the aces
I got em, aces
(Solo)
You know baby, I play to win
I'm wearing leather head to toe
Got me a mission and my mission is to rock and roll
I thought I'd let you know
My luck is changing
Do you believe it
I'm holding all the aces in my hands that's right
I see your poker faces
I'm a bad motherfucker tonight
I'm holding all the aces in my hands that's right
I see your poker faces stop stop me tonight
When you're holding all the aces
When you're holding all the aces
I've got them...aces
That's right baby
Lay me down in a bed of roses
Touch my lips before I sleep
You're with me now but when I close my eyes
She's in my dreams and the pain's still deep
Like a candle in the wind I'm easy to put out
Like a picture through your window
You see right through my heart
Like a candle in the rain I'm easy to put out
Like a picture through your window
You see right through my heart
I never knew that nights could be so long
Without you
And only time will heal time will heal all wounds
I never knew that nights could be so long
Without you
And only time will heal time will heal all wounds
Lay me down in a bed of roses
Feel the thorns they cut my heart
The drops of blood they fall and mix with all my tears
Have I given up on love
Like the candle in the rain I'm easy to put out
Like a picture through your window
You see right through my heart
I never knew that nights could be so long
Without you
And only time will heal time will heal all wounds
I never knew that nights could be so long
Without you
Dream dream away
All of your nightmares
But memories remain
Sometimes they can haunt you
In your arms I slept last night
Even though I wasn't there
Your body knows it just can't lie
And in your dreams I'll come tonight
So let me in your dreams tonight
Let me be the one
I'm with you while you sleep at night
You say that I'm the one
All of your years
You taste the salt of tears
You feel the smoke and shadows
Now nothing really matters
In your arms I slept last night
Even though I wasn't there
Your body knows it just can't lie
And in your dreams I'll come tonight
So let me in your dreams tonight
Let me be the one
I'm with you while you sleep at night
You say that I'm the one
You feel smoke and shadows this is not a dream
So far away you hear the call
Your body cries you want it all
You see the smoke but you know they lie
She had something to hide in her eyes
Full of mystery that girl
Everyone knew what she could do to me
I'm following you on your tracks
Maybe take you for a ride
I'll cool cool off your engines
This time you'll feel some fire
And you'll know my secrets
When you're pumping on my ground
(chorus)
Who's watching you who's watching you
Well you better believe girl
If nobody is then I'm gonna be watching you
(repeat)
Less than a woman more than a girl
Some kind of a nature child
Oh everyone knew that she was running wild
I'm following you on you on your tracks
Maybe take you for a ride
I'll cool cool off your engines
I wanna put out fire
And you'll know my secrets
When you're pumping on my ground
(chorus)
You know what I heard?...
Shocked but I'm never down
You come now you see I'm around around around
Lights do they blind your eyes
You spy now it comes as no surprise
I've seen your face before
I just don't remember where
I've seen your face before
You just love to see me fall
(chorus)
So you think you know my secrets
(repeat)
Well you don't
Lost but I'm never found
You watch now you love me down down down
Signs should have read the wall
Your jealousy baby tops them all
I've seen your face before
I just don't remember where
I've seen your face before
You just love to see me fall
(chorus)
So you think you know my secrets
(repeat)
No education won't go to school
All the boy knows is guitar and acting cool
You know they're trying to be cool
Hanging on the teens everybody knows
Everybody says but you never never go
You just leave it alone just leave it alone
You know I'm tired of being a small town boy
I wanna go where there's lights and make some noise
(chorus)
I've a feeling that I'm ready for you
Are you ready for me
I've a feeling that I'm ready for you
Are you ready for me
Shoot it I want you to shoot it
Pull my trigger let the rocks fly
Everybody knows that you've got to do it or die
So I gave it a try
Vanity kills along with the road
Come on baby help mr loosen my load
You know I'm tired of being a small town boy
I wanna go where there's lights and make some noise
(chorus)
Then shoot it I want you to shoot it
Shoot it I want you to shoot it
Two bodies lying naked
Is it you and me
Flash warning a sexual preview
Of what you can do to me
You hear voices in your head
It's me I'm calling you
You hear voices in your bed
It's me I'm calling you back
(chorus)
Feel the fever of a 1000 degrees
I wanna touch you
Feel the fever of a 1000 degrees
I wanna touch you
Touch you...
Eye to eye cheek to cheek
Feel the thrills in my satin sheets
Had your pleasure now here's your pain
Now the nights seem to drive you insane
You hear voices in your head
It's me I'm calling you
You hear voices in your bed
It's me I'm calling you
It's me I'm calling you back
(chorus)
It's not that far away
Don't you know it's a secrect place somewhere you always hide
All alone you can ease the pain that you felt deep inside
Powder Blue was the color of your eyes and of my dreams
All along you would do it for you always do it for love all
For love Powder Blue you got lost do it for love Powder Blue
Sleep way in your dreamy world coulds just keep flowing by
All alone whose your best friend now his name is Powder Blue
While you hide you would do it for for you always do it for love
All for love Powder Blue you got lost do it for love Powder Blue Blue Blue
Blue
(Solo)

Love all for love Powder Blue Powder Blue you got lost do it for love
Powder Blue you got lost... come on baby wont you do it for me come on baby
Smile for the camera you take a pretty picture
I'd like to hang one on my wall
But I get too sentimental
Seeing your face everyday
I like the way you mistreat love
But I keep coming back for more
Well I like abuse don't shut the door
We always want what we can't have
Just one more night
(chorus)
Go ahead and use me baby when it comes to you
Ain't got no self respect no respect for myself baby
Mistreat me right
No recpect
No respect
Anytime you want me like a fool I'm waiting for you
I like the way you break my heart
It's so exciting waiting never knowing what you're feeling
I like the way you mistreat love
But I keep coming back for more
Well I like abuse don't shut the door
We always want what we can't have
Just one more night
(chorus)
So go ahead and use me baby when it comes to you
Ain't got no self respect no respect for myself baby
Mistreat me right
No respect for myself baby
No respect when it comes to you
No respect go ahead and use me
All it took was just one look and
I was sold I was sold
Your skin it's up against mine now
About to explode about to explode
Now it was more than just another night
And will we feel the love in the morning light
Excuse me if I'm trembling now but
With you it's really love
But how can they say it's wrong
When we know it feels so strong
They've got these laws against love between you and me
I've got to break the chains of love between you and me
Now in a spiral of emotion
I don't know I don't know
My heart it's beating oh so fast
It's about to explode about to explode
Now will the numbers always kill a love
I've got to hide the fears I'm thinking of
Excuse me if I'm shaking now but
With you it's really love
But how can they say it's wrong
When we know it feels so strong
They've got these laws against love between you and me
I've got to break the chains of love between you and me
They've got these laws against love between you and me
I've got to break the chains of love between you and me
They've got laws...
They've got these laws against love between you and me
I've got to break the chains of love between you and me
And will they punish me for loving you with
Their laws against love
I never knew I'd be the one to fall in love
Somehow Icy went astray
Bars are cold but she's a hard girl
Don't you know don't you know that
Don't you know don't you know that
Icy went so far away
A red light blue light
She's a hard girl
Don't you know don't you know that
Don't you know don't you know that
Icy she's going to heaven
Icy she's been through hell
Icy will they find you
Is it true what the people say
Icy's gone she ain't coming back
She lives alone behind the wall of black
Icy's gone she ain't coming back
A tough girl who ran off the track
Somehow Icy went astray
Bars are cold but she's a hard girl
Don't you know don't you know that
Don't you know don't you know that
Icy she's going to heaven
Icy she's bee through hell
Icy now I believe you
Is it true what the people say
(chorus)
Icy's gone she ain't coming back
She lives alone behind the wall of black
Icy's gone she ain't coming back
A tough girl who ran off the track
Icy's gone she ain't coming back
She lives alone behind the wall of black
Icy's gone she ain't coming back
A tough girl who ran off the track
Don't you know don't you know that
Don't you know don't you know that
Don't you know don't you know that
Baby waits but no one's coming
Her heart bleeds but my head keeps humming
You know I know too there's a better way
But love ain't always fair
Baby cries she knows he's outside
She'd die to be by his side
You know I know too there's a better way
But love ain't always fair
I wanna take you down
What's it take to break you baby
Now who's wrong
Down for the third time
Am I drowning for you girl
In a sea of love
Baby cries but true love's running
He's gone so I keep on coming
You know I know too that it's sexual
And it won't last very long
Baby cries she knows I'm outside
She'd die to be by my side
You give all these things in a different way
And it's me who's going down
I wanna take you down
What's it take to break you baby
Now who's wrong
Down for the third time
Am I drowning for you girl
In a sea of love
I give you more I give you all I have
I beg and crawl it's you I've always wanted
Are you ready so take me down
Down for the third time
Am I drowning for you girl
In a sea of love
Yeah!
Hey you I'm no fool
What you got going what you got going
You've got temptation eyes
What you got hiding what you got hiding
You've got a way to make me feel
Like I want to be with you
Just a little more than hypnotized
But if I do what I wanna
(Chorus:)
I get down on my knees
Praying to the lord that I beat the bullet
I get down on my knees
Praying to the lord that I beat the bullet
I beat it
Baby baby baby I beat it
New York L.A. Frisco
Boy they got something boy they got something
I've been around this world
What's it got for me what's it got for me
You got temptation in your eyes
Now one and one is two
Just a little more than hypnotized
But if I do what I wanna
(Chorus)
Baby baby what you got hiding
What you got going will I beat the bullet
Oh you got more you got more more
Than a man could want
(Chorus)
Ooh baby I'm gonna
Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck; some nights, I call it a draw
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore...
This is it, boys, this is war - what the hell are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style
That's alright (that's alright).
I found a martyr in my bed tonight.
Stops my bones from wondering just who I, who I, who I
a-a-a-am, oh who am I, m-mm, m-mm.
Well, some nights I wish that this all would end
'Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win (I always win)
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know...
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
No. When I see stars, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like a swan, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on.
That is it, guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks back home; I'm sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called "love"
But when I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible lie
The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
I've got enough on my mind
That when she pulls me by the hand
She hasn't much to hold onto
She's keeping count on her hands
One, two, three days that I've been sleeping on my side
I've finished kissing my death
So now I head back up the steps
Thinking about where I've been
I mean it's always never like this
I wanna feel with the seasons
I guess it makes sense because my life's become as vapid as
A night out in Los Angeles
And I just wanna stay in bed
I hold you like I used to
You know that I am home
So darling if you love me
Would you let me know?
Well - go on, go on, go on
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff
For once, for once, for once
I've got the feeling that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff?
She got enough on her mind
But now she feels no sorrow (?)
I let my faith fill the air
So now she's rolling down the window
Never been one to hold on
But I need a last breath
So I ask if she remembers when
She used to come and visit me
We were fools to think that nothing would go wrong
Well - go on, go on, go on
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff
For once, for once, for once
I've got the feeling that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff?
I think I kinda like it but I might have had too much
And I'll move back down
To this western town
When they find me out
Make no mistake about it
I'll move back down
To this western town
When they find me out
Make no mistake about it
(I'll move back)
Well - go on, go on, go on
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff
Well - go on, go on, go on
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff
For once, for once, for once
I've got the feeling that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff?
I think I kinda like it but I might have had too much
As I walk through the streets of my new city
my back feeling much better, I suppose
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
for better or for worse, I've yet to know
but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Suddenly I'm lost
On my street
On my block
Oh why, Oh why
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
This time I think it's for real, I can see
All the tree tops turning red
The beggars near bodegas grin at me
I think they want something
I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe
and be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Oh I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
Be calm.
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
"I always see you looking out your window."
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
Now every single crack, every penny that I pass,
says I should either leave or pick it up
But with every single buck I've made
I'm saddled with bad luck that came
the moment I was baptized
or when I found out one day I'm gonna die
if only I could find my people or my place in life
a when they come a'carolin'
so loud, so bright, the theremin
will lead us to a chorus
where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
Be calm.
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
and everything's wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm.
I don't remember much that night,
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
When from that street corner came a song
And I can't remember the man,
The panhandler or his melody.
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Oh I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
Be calm.
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
You hate your pulse because it still thinks you're alive
and everything's wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm.
[Brendon]
It's getting late, and I
Cannot seem to find my way home tonight
Feels like I am falling down a rabbit hole
Falling for forever, wonderfully wandering alone
What would my head be like
If not for my shoulders
Or without your smile
May it follow you forever
May it never leave you
To sleep in the stone,
May we stay lost on our way home
[Brendon]
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
[Nate]
If I should die tonight
May I first just say I'm sorry
For I, never felt like anybody
I am a man of many hats although I
Never mastered anything
When I am ten feet tall
I've never felt much smaller, since the fall
Nobody seems to know my name
So don't leave me to sleep all alone
May we stay lost on our way home?
[Brendon and Nate]
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
[Brendon and Nate]
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
[Brendon]
Try not to mistake what you have with what you hate
[Brendon and Nate]
It could leave, it could leave, come the morning
[Nate]
Celebrate the night
It's the fall before the climb
[Brendon and Nate]
Shall we sing, shall we sing, 'til the morning
[Brendon]
If I fall forward, you fall flat
[Brendon and Nate]
And if the sun should lift me up
Would you come back? C'mon!
[music interlude]
[Brendon]
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
[Brendon and Nate]
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
[Brendon and Nate]
So c'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
[Brendon screams] YEAH YEAH YEAH!
[Brendon]
Were you named for the river that surrounds
All my biggest my mistakes or the way that I made it out
All the muscles in my mouth never smiled or said profound things
Until the day she handed you to me
Now for all the steps you'll take and all you'll overcome
I wanna be the one to put in a song
Take every single tear for all the world to hear
I wanna be the one to put it in a song
Cigarettes are raining hard on the Upper East Side
She brings me a cake we celebrate I have arrived
And I know that it's been sang before but you're my human holiday
I put my hands to the table and dare say the love of my life
And your brother with his best friend
Shares a name I'm gonna need
Really couldn't bring me down
For everything you lost and all you overcome
I wanna be the one to put it in a song
Take every single tear for all the world to hear
I wanna be the one to put it in a song and make it last forever
Clever comes in truth when truth begets the past
Its sends its call out to the moon
And the moon can see the beauty that surrounds your heart as it pounds
It starts the beat inspiring me until I make the sound
I wanna be the one, I wanna be one, I wanna be the one
For everything you lost and all you overcome
I wanna be the one to put it in a song
Take every single tear for all the world to hear
What have we done, oh my god
What have we done, oh my god
This is really happening
You never looked so bored
Can you feel my fingernails?
They've never been so short
It's hard to lay a golden egg with everyone around
It's hard to stay inside my head when words keep pouring out
Like starlight crashing through the room, we'll lose our feathers
Yes, I know it hurts at first but it gets better
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
I can taste your summer sweat
It's never been so warm
So can we kick the covers off?
They're always on
It's never been so warm
It's hard to keep a straight face when I just want to smile
Wish you could see the look that's in your eyes
Like starlight crashing through the room, we'll lose our feathers
Yes, I know it hurts at first but it gets better
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
There's a fire in sky
Some snow on the ground
Not quite enough cigarettes
To calm me down
What have we done, oh my god
What have we done, oh my god
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
(This is really happening)
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
(This is really happening)
It gets better, it gets better
Slow down,
we've got time left to be lazy
All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes.
We've got 50 good years left to spend out in the garden
I don't care to beg your pardon,
We should live until we die.
We were barely 18 when we'd crossed collective hearts.
It was cold, but it got warm when you'd barely crossed my eye.
and then you turned, put out your hand,
and you asked me to dance.
I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight.
I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose.
I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely.
Even if the sun stops waking up over the fields
I will not leave, I will not leave 'till it's our time.
So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side.
It was the winter of '86, and all the fields had frozen over.
So we moved to Arizona to save our only son
and now he's turning to a man, although he thinks just like his mother,
he believes we're all just lovers he sees hope in everyone.
And even though she moved away,
we always get calls from our daughter.
She has eyes just like her father's
they are blue when skies are grey
And just like him, she never stops,
Never takes the day for granted,
works for everything that's handed to her,
Never once complains.
You think that I nearly lost you
When the doctors tried to take you away.
But like the night you took my hand beside the fire
30 years ago to this day
You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time
Well it's not time, you've never quit in all your life.
So just take my hand, you know that I'll never leave your side.
You're the love of my life, you know that I'll never leave your side.
You come home from work and you kiss me on the eye
You curse the dogs and say that I should never feed them what is ours
and the kids are coming home
I'll set the table
Walking alone 'cause the night is dead.
Crossed my mind when I crossed the bridge.
How you lost your mind,
and your wrist got bruised,
and you wanted better love
when it was sleeping in your bedroom.
Hold on,
Stay on my side,
Don't go.
If you could see me
Whoever I am.
It's not like the movies,
but it's not all skin and bones.
So come on love
(come on, come one, come all and go)
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
I will not let you go
Now I'm walking alone 'cause the night is dead.
My feet don't glide like they did back then,
when I would call you up so we could shoot the moon.
These days I'm left to howl in tune.
Hearts do break
and I must admit
I found a verse and a chorus
so I might have been faking it.
Think I might have only cried just once.
After all the shows,
after all the boys of summer had gone,
amid all the confusion
and friends I've been losing
I always thought from the start
I'd be the one moving on.
I guess I'll never know
Where all the boys of summer will go
but I'll miss what we made
and the days were not wasted.
There are some things I may never know.
How you lost your mind
and your wrists got bruised
and you wanted better love
well it's sleeping your bedroom.
Hold on,
Stay on my side,
Give me a second,
I need to get my story straight
My friend's are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking about a
scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies
You know I'm trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Now I know it I'm not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let's raise a cup
'Cause I found someone to carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
The world is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me ho,me
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I fell in love with a wind-up souvenir
I bought it downtown as I was on my way to meet you
She sounds like the songs you used to sing to put me to sleep but
Now that you're gone she's all I've left to hold
And I feel so all alone
No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke
How do you cry with inanimate eyes?
You're never gonna smile with the way that you are
And I feel so all alone
I gave it to you I thought you might appreciate
The way that she dances, the painted look upon her face
She must of come from the sun. I wanna take her through the park
Where she tell me I'm all that she wants and she could even talk.
I feel so all alone
No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke
How do you cry with inanimate eyes?
You're never gonna smile with the way that you are
And I feel so all alone
I feel so all alone
As she sits on my shelf it makes me think of you
The way she carries the things that remind me of who
We used to be before we became empty
She's a lot like you
But when i hold her too
Tight I know she'll break
Just take some glue to stay
I feel so all alone
No one's gonna fix when I'm broke
How do you cry with inanimate eyes?
You're never gonna smile with the way that you are
And I feel so all alone
I feel so all alone
All the pretty girls on a saturday night
So I call your name, cross my fingers
uncross the others, hesitate.
I don't think straight with nothing to prove.
I don't wanna say I'm leaving
so I'll stay until the weekend.
And you can take all your things;
the boxes and rings
and get going.
'Cause I've been waiting for...
All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.
Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes.
Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?
I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.
So I call you out
Just to feel a little bit better about myself
And I do, baby I do
'Til their lips start to move,
and their friends wanna talk music
I say "I've never heard the tune!"
But I have, I just hate the band
'cause they remind me of you.
Every single night ends up the same,
I don't say much at all, but I bring up your name.
(Over and over and over)
I think it's striking me out.
All the pretty girls on a Saturday night
Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes.
Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?
I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.
But not you,
you still wear boots and your hair is too long
and then this one doesn't want to admit she's fallen in love
Oh c'mon, oh c'mon, what's a boy to do
When all the pretty girls can't measure to you.
I don't understand your reasons
Please just stay over the weekend
You can't take all those things
They define you and me
everything we've become,
You're all that I need
Please don't make me face my generation alone.
All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.
Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes.
Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?
I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.
But not you,
I feel your faith is destroying the world
and then this one doesn't want to admit
the 80s is over and done
Oh c'mon, what's a boy to do,
In the servitude mass
Where the goat cloak runs long and black
Behind the black eyes
Kneel before me
Show no face
For the flames in my eyes
The giant flames burn dark and deep
Red the bleeding, the blood streams
Blood Von
Kneel before me
Show no face
For thy cross awaits thy healing
Punishment... yes
Thou soul shall staple
For I kill those to be punished
Blood Von
Kneel before me
Show no face
For thou blood tears show thy suffering
Blood Von
Shine tusk
Blood horns
Pentagram brand
Red screen
Satanic devil pig
Black origin
Goat horns
Tusk devil
Pentagram stamp
Burn black cross
Sea's fire
Red beast ship
Sailing slow, smooth pain
Black sails
Pentagram emblem in the mountains
Black rising mountains
Darkest ship...

Spine of life
Closest true embrace
Forever burning fire
Forever darkest depths
Distant patching fire
Thin smoke lines
Weaving like snakes
Reaching, always dying

Thorn headband lashes scared skin
Nails puncture hands
Dripping like webs
Orange spirits rise
Red souls breathing
Fire gods
Upon chapel cross

Black coming of
Red is blood
Children of red

Always regenerating
Love is red death
Desiccate dead
Soldier walks dead
Mother bleed
Infant stabs needle
Coffin smoke
Funeral smell
Prayer...
Circles coughing redness
Blood fire
Veinen
Black coming...
Veinen
Black coming of Veinen
Although it may seem bloody
He shall die with only one drop of human blood
For you will feel his black death with him
Brothers of blood
The invisible images of vast horror is within thoughts
Shall hang mutilated, stale animals
With the veins of Jesus Christÿ
For it shall sway back and forth
Dripping most unkempt stink
Pig blood
Drop by drop falling
Creating a Satanic blood-face for me
I welcome the blood from these pigs of Hell
May it bleed upon my blood-face eternal
Lucifer killed his unborn child
So he may be a victim of circumstance unborn evil
The wicked child lays in shallow, crowded graves
This unholy place is where the black sacrifices are performed
Here is where He kills
"Praise Satan"
Satan fertile
Woman's egg
Need to cut
Her own skin
Son of Satan
Within womb
Need to cut
Her own skin
With a razor
Spells a word
Within the chest
A single word
Carved in deep
Through the skin
Bleeds the word
Satanic Blood
Praise
Satanic Blood
Satan
He makes me feel so whole
He's the keeper of my soul
He's the oxygene i breathe
He's the one big missing peace
He's my thunder, he's my storm
He's the flame that keeps me warm
He's my ever rolling stone
He's my wilderness and home
He's my shore, he's my sea
He's my lust and agony
He's my saint and he's my thorn
He's my everything and more
Du bist Frieden, du bist Krieg
You're my triumph, my defeat
Sei mein Feuer und mein Eis
You're my hell, my paradise
Du mein Stern, meine Nacht
Meine Demut, meine Macht
Sei Erlösung, sei mein Fluch
Sei mein Siegel, sei mein Buch
Corázon de león
Es tan fino assessino
Es tan malo y tan frio
Pero mio, mio mio
Mi amor, gran dolor
Natural, me hace cantar
Es como un nino pero fuerte
Yo lo quiero hasta la muerte
Hace recar, maltratar
Disfrutar y llorar
Es un dios, es mi voz
Es mi paz y mucho mas
Now he's gone, now he's past
I just could not let it last
It's so hard to say goodbye
Though i try and try and try
Sie macht immer so ein Drama
Sie macht immer so ein Drama, sagen sie
Wenn sie mir über den Weg laufen
Sogar meine Mutter lächelt über mich
Wenn ich ausflippe
Die Leute mögen es formell
Leben nach Vorschrift
warum kapieren sie nicht
Dass ich mein Leben normal finde
Während sie es für eine Show halten
Sie sagen, ich bin verrückt
Weil ich heute schwach
Und morgen stark bin
Sagt nicht, ich wäre verwirrt
Ruft einfach meinen Namen
Dann komm ich schon
Überleitung:
Betet für meinen Seelenfrieden
Und liebt mich, ich bin eine von euch
Mal bin ich ein Sturm, mal eine Brise
Aber die meiste Zeit steck ich in der Krise
Refrain:
Dramakönigin, das ist es, was sie sagen
wenn sie mir über den Weg laufen
Wenn ich auf den Knien etwas bitte
Dramakönigin, keine halben Sachen
Seit meiner Jugend
Oh, bin ich so eine Dramakönigin
Ich lach mich kaputt
Und ich heul mir die Seele aus dem Leib
Ich bin so drauf, seit ich dreizehn wurde
Mal bin ich düster drauf
Mal hab ich blendende Laune
Aber niemals halbe Sachen, oh
Am allerliebsten hypnotisiere ich
Und breche einige Herzen
Wie die sich ständig wechselnde Mode
Ändere ich meine Tricks
Spiele meine Karten aus, aber
Wenn ich meinen letztens Trumpf verliere
Fühlt er sich zu ihr hingezogen
Weil sie so nett ist
Was für ein Schlag ins Gesicht
Eine Dramakönigin ist nicht, was er will
Überleitung...
Refrain...
Ich bete für meinen Seelenfrieden
Möchte nicht blind sein
Möchte nicht klagen, dass ich so drauf bin
Mal bin ich ein Sturm
Und mal eine Brise
Aber die meiste Zeit steck ich in der Krise
Refrain...
Jeden Tag eine neue Überraschung.
Warum nicht die Meinung ändern?
Ein böses Mädchen kann doch so nett sein
Und trotzdem immer spüren
Dass es sich treu bleibt
Und hast du keine Lust auf Drama
Dann geh doch zurück zu deiner Mama
