Why you wanna live like this?
My favorite antagonist
Times are hard getting harder
It's a black day, yeah
Lie, lie, lie to me
While you making love to me
Nothing ever makes you happy
It's a black day, yeah oh yeah
Got a good, good life
Food in your stomach & a future wife
Yet you're so ungrateful
It's a black day, yeah
Got a mounting obsession
With your middle class depression
Put that gun to your head
And it'll be a black day, yeah
It's never gonna be
The way you want it to be
And they'll never say they're sorry
You fight the good fight
And in the end you know you're right
So it doesn't really matter if you win or lose tonight
Drink like a fish, sink or swim
I'm sinking all the way down
I drown myself in the bottle again
'Cause your promises let me down
Gin and tonic, hit the floor
I'll be comin' back for more
'Cause baby, that's the way I like it
And I know I have to be strong
To hold on to what we once had
But now it's gone
[Chorus:]
Life is slippin' and I can't hold on
Lost control of myself
I'll be leavin' and I won't look back, I'd
Rather be alone than waste my life with you
Each morning I struggle to face the new day
I can barely look you in the eye
Each night I welcome that comfortable haze
On the bar when you're making me cry
Gin and tonic, hit the floor
I'll be comin' back for more
'Cause baby, that's the way I like it
And I know I have to be strong
To hold on to what we once had
But now it's gone
[Chorus]
With you, with you
Waste my life with you
Whoa whoa-oh, whoa whoa-oh
I was tryin' to find a way to hide
The doubts I had inside 'cause
I thought we had a chance to make it
But now I'm stronger and I
Love you no longer and
Tough shit if you can't take it!
And I know I have to be strong
To hold on to what we once had
But now it's gone
I was slippin' and I couldn't hold on
Lost control of myself
Now I'm gone and I'll never look back
So much better off and
So much happier
Open your eyes and see,
I bleed in apathy
I've got nothing to give,
So don't you take from me
I was wronged,
but you knew it all along [x2]
It makes me sick to death
To think of you in her bed
It makes me sick to death,
Gonna put a bullet in her head
[Chorus:]
Breaking hearts and tellings lies [x3]
Do a line, a line of alibis
Open your eyes and see
That she meant more to me
And by crossing that line,
baby you broke me
I was wronged,
But you knew it along [x2]
It makes me sick to death
When I think of how you've done me
Yeah I hope she was good babe,
Hope she was worth me
Some things never change
We were apart
But you're still to blame
All I want is you to stand by my side [x2]
I hope you'll understand,
I respect you as my friend
Without you there's no plan
Boys will come and boys will go,
just like street cars
All I want is you to stand by my side [x2]
There's time when life gets hard
Without your friends you won't get far
I got you and that's a start
Never backing down, you're always true yeah
All I want is you to stand by my side [x2]
We've been through everything
We'll be sisters 'til the end,
what's broken we will mend
Boys will come and boys will go,
All messed up, walking down 64th st.
Looking for trouble, well your looking for me
Surfing the town & feeling the heat
She says, who the fuck is gonna save me?
Who the fuck's gonna save me?
Who's to blame? She was a beat up, thrown out renegade
The time has come, well it's come today
And the two things that took away her pain
Were her handgun & cocaine...
It was her home life
Her brother hit her & her dad had a new wife
So she crawled into the dark, dark night
& spent her last few moments looking into the light
Feel it now, hear her screams & watch her drown
Take it in & get out of town
Scars like that won't fade away
She had her handgun & cocaine
Dead on arrival, found her on the floor
Got no hopes, no life no more
She's sixxx feet down & nobody mourns
Go, I don't really like you
I can barely stand you
Can't take this anymore
But who's keeping score?
Girl you mean the world to me
Stop fucking up and see
I don't need your sympathy
My fire's fueled on loyalty
You're backstabbing is killing me
After all these years we've seen
Selling out's so easy
I'm over your apathy
It's an old song, but the lyrics stay true
Despite all my men, I keep coming back to you
I gear up to take it, take it, take it one more time
Cause it wouldn't be love if it wasn't a lie, oh my...
Hell hath no fury like me
Hell hath no fury like me
Hell hath no fury like me
Once my love, now my enemy
It's a cheap ring, but it means everything to me
despite all my faults, I still believe you'll marry me
I know you just want to waste, waste all my time
You wouldn't be bleeding if it wasn't your crime (or mine)
Hell hath no fury like me
Hell hath no fury like me
Hell hath no fury like me
Once my love, now my enemy
You're no good for me
You're no good for me
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
sure as the day I was bled, like the day I was born
go ahead and walk away
you shouldn't have started that game
if you didn't want to play baby...
It's an old song, but the lyrics stay true
Despite all my men, I keep coming back to you
I gear up to take it, take it, take it one more time
Cause it wouldn't be love if it wasn't a lie, oh my...
Hell hath no fury like me
Hell hath no fury like me
Hell hath no fury like me
Once my love, now my enemy
Hell hath no fury like me
Hell hath no fury like me
Hell hath no fury like me
I saw you coming up, real fucking slow
You've got nothing to prove and you've got no where to go
In your massacre
I hear you talking, but you've got nothing to say
I've got my finger on the trigger, gonna blow you away
In your massacre
Say it isn't so, oh I know, I know you know
You're dying
Tonight you know it just ain't right
Give me something to spare your life tonight
Your blood on my hands
Broken conscience, Broken man
You're wrong
Tonight you know it just ain't right
Don't you know you've got another thing coming
I've been at this for one too many years now
A couple cheap tattoos and bar shows
They can't compete with what we've got here
Back up, you don't know me, back up you don't own me
And you don't mean anything at all
Cause I've been made to take this fall
You're everywhere I go
Blood n' tears n' lies and I've got to let it go
You're shitty sense of entitlement
It ain't yours when what you have you had to steal
I'm ashamed to say you were ever a part of this
I wanted what I got and that's something you'll never feel
We've got something that you can't touch [x3]
I'm fed up, I've had enough
I'm so close to snappin' and I'm packin' a punch
I can't see straight, I'm seein' red
And what tomorrow brings is all that I dread
When nothing is going right
I'm ready and waiting to put up a fight
Kickin' and screamin' with all of my might
Sometimes, life can go that way
It can make you wanna scream and make you pay
For the mistakes you wish you never made
All that's good just seems to fade
When nothing is going right
I'm ready and willing to put up a fight
Kickin' and screamin' with all of my might
Will anything ever get better for me
Sometimes it feels so hard to breathe
Chorus:
Bad luck
Keeping me down
Bad luck
Keep comin' around
Bad luck oh bad luck
It's tough when you're got bad luck
You're fallin on your face and everything's fucked
Wish you could hide from the world outside
Stay in bed curl up and die
When nothing is going right
I'm ready and waiting to put up a fight
Trying to find a way to live with out ya babe
Day and night my heart bleeds, but you don't feel anything
Suck it up you little bastard, I'm not the same
Where were you those dark nights when I cried?
I beared you name
Everything I thought we had
Love, trust & friendship
Fuck you make me feel so bad baby
Feminazi fingerpointing, well my mom's my own
Impossible, unforgettable, unbelievable girl you've known
Believe (sleeved) in your heart, the power is in your hand
You can take all you want, but I break for no mane
Fuck you make me feel so bad
And I can't get over all the love we once had
I'm trying to find a way to get you outta my life
I don't want to be your lover
I don't want to be you wife
Listen mother fucker, you don't know me
You don't fucking own me
And I don't love you
And you know what?
Your a fucking dirtbag
And your a fucking cheating bastard and I fucking hate you
Fuck you,
If you weren't such a fucking loser
And your fucking cock wasn't so small
I would have fucking left you in the first place
You got nothing to offer me
You're just bad news
You're just a fucking scummy mother fucker that smells,
That's too fat
That's fucking ugly
That's going bald
I don't want you in my life again, ever you mother fucker
Fuck you
Stay the fuck away
When did my soul hit the ground?
Extra, extra read all about it
I don't care about you no more
Put your words to the test
Compromise it all
So ashamed about taking the fall
Extra, extra ordinary
Extra ordinary circumstances are shot... shot
Extra, extra stimulation
Means that chaos will uproar
Hollywood & Vine, we're running out of time
Clashing... rants, sins & lies
All those flashes, might make you see
Stand up for what you're fighting for
Shoot up, I don't love you anymore
I head you say, I saw you play,
Don't come around no more
Stand up for what you're fighting for
[Chorus:]
You got it, what you wanted...
You got it, what you asked for...
Spend your nights all high on life,
Like when I was with you
Shoot up, just like you used to do
So deep inside you made me cry,
How could you break me through
Gotta get, gotta get away
Tank full of gas and I'm leavin' today
Take the 5 to the 91
Hit the big G like a loaded gun
The desert air dries the
Tears as they fall but I
I won't miss him, miss him at all
Just under three hundred miles to go
When I'm comin' back baby I don't know
[Chorus:]
Sin city, sing to me
My luck's run out, it's lookin' bleak
Sin city, pray for me
I don't think I can make it
Sin city, sing to me
Lift me up, I'm feelin' weak
Sin city, pray for me
I want a chance to make it out alive
See those lights, they're flashing brightly
Tryin' to run, what's wrong with your life?
In the city that never sleeps
Don't have to wake up if it's meant to be
Gray dreams and a tearless smile
Will make you feel alright for a little while
But the glamor it always fades
Just watch as this world around you decays
[Chorus]
Place my bed and close my eyes
I'm not lookin' back, no not tonight
Gonna find my way out of this somehow
Yeah!
Sin city, sing to me
Sin city, pray for me
Sin city, sing to me
My luck's run out, it's lookin' bleak
Sin city, pray for me
You're a lazy son of a bitch
You got nothing, come on cop to it
You're a lazy son of a bitch
Wasting my time, but the lovin's got me outta my mind
You're too good, you're no good
You're a mean son of a bitch
What we've done are you proud of it?
You're a mean son of a bitch
You're driving me crazy, but I can't stop seeing you now
Gotta get out now [x2]
You're a lying son of a bitch
I'm not the only one, I'm aware of it
You're a lying son of a bitch
We can hang out in this mess, but I won't be the one left out
You're a no good son of a bitch
I'm well aware, of my bad itch
You're a no good son of a bitch
Just cause I'm a girl doesn't mean I didn't want it now...
Gotta get out now
You're a lazy son of a bitch
You got nothing , come on cop to it
You're a lazy son of a bitch
Wasting my time, but the lovin's got me outta my mind
You're too good, you're no good
I'm not gonna lie to you
I'm not gonna hurt you
I'm not gonna use you, you've got to believe me
I'm just gonna let you live
& we'll both make it big
& I'll see you on the state line
Wake up (see what you're doing to me)
Sugar (leave me or let me be)
I'm special, but am I enough?
To be there when times get tough?
I know you know what I believe in
I know you know what I'm thinking
How am I gonna raise children in these times
You seem so far away, but there will come a day
When I'll be there right by your side
I've seen your blood sweat and tears
Feels like I've known you for years and years
What I have it ain't enough to give
You want it all honey, you just want to live
[Chorus:]
Take, take me away, show me your blood
and give me all your pain
Don't tell me no, cause I've had you before
Darts and daggers leave me on the floor
Use your pity to travel the world
It got you fame, but it lost you your girl
He's no God and I'm no saint
Get outta hell before it's too late
When you're down, on you're knees
You'll be begging, baby please
You've got one chance, to be with me
Break my heart
And that's the last you'll ever see
You had me first but I don't belong to you
Don't leave me lovesick, hopeless and confused
And about today
Killing you just to get my way
And all I thought about today
Fucking you up, just to get my
Why is it I feel so knocked down?
Keep calling her your girl
I keep coming round to you
Lied to me with your lyrics
I read to deep, but what's new?
I curse the day that I first saw you
Oh fuck the day I fell in love with you
I'm gonna fucking kill her
I might as well kill you too
Violence isn't my 2nd nature
But baby I've got it out for you
I'm gonna killer, hey
Burnt me again who gave you the right?
To break my heart & make me cry every night
You both have got it coming
You're gonna rot in fucking hell
Why do bad things happen to good people
Tell me it's not the truth, the way she looks at you boy
You've got something to hide, I've got something to prove
Oh God tell me, what the fuck did I do?
Oh I can't trust you, cause you lie, you lie...
And I'm down on my knees
Back on my knees, I wanna die
This is really good stuff they say
Cleanse your heart and make him pay
Tell me where it hurts, I'll look the other way
So sick, so pregnant, so yesterday
I'm so happy all the time
An hour to kill, bathe in cyanide
And I'm planning your demise
While your cheating heart beats out my envious eyes
Blonde, drunk & crazy,
Sexy slut you we're the coolest thing
Yeah, oh yeah you really showed me
Taught us all what we could be
Yeah, oh yeah
Booze & liquor weren't on the list
Bridge had something we'd like best
Shoot her up, forget the rest
Queen bee playing in a band
Don't you wish you were something?
I was 15, you were 21
I was bad news like a loaded gun
You were a hard, hard working man
I was selling, selling out my band
& you bought in...
I was 18 at the top of my game
Namedropping & looking for fame
You lied, lied to me
About all, all I could be
& I bought in...
You sellout, you souled yer soul,
Forget it, you lost control
What's done is done, it's now your turn
Now your turn to bleed & burn
Yer 25 & barley alive
You've got a hoodrat you call your wife
I'm given y ou loving on the side
Cause your cold hard heart is just like mine
I'm 21, you're 28
We coulda had our day, we coulda been great
But you laying, laying down to win
And I'm paying for my life, life of sin
Come on & make me live
I can't seem to do it for me.
I'm starving to death
Going down in glory
Glory... No God forgave
There is no end for me
Buried in boxes & sympathies, yeah
Tell your great big lies to me
I'm going down in glory
Where's your pills?
You perfect home?
Your regret?
You fucking humility?
Where's your prise?
Where's your daughter?
Your lies & my broken home?
Burn me once, shame on you
Burn me twice, shame on me
I won't be on your doorstep, lady
Little girl just flesh & blood
You're blond to see the pain ahead
I've been waiting & plotting what I'll do with you
Won't someone warn her
Death's around the corner
Stay awake don't close your eyes
Cause all I want is you
Stay awake or you will die
And all I need is you
Trapped inside that little room
Your closet death is coming soon
I hear you scratching, but there's no way I'll let you go
Won't someone warn her
Death's around the corner
There is no way out
My baby's in Brooklyn on the East Coast
Out on the road, what he loves the most
And tonight, I lay down alone
Wait for my baby to come back home
In the life we lead, we love, we bleed alone
And I tell myself I have to be strong
Cause we live, we die, we fail, we try, on the road
I'm in NoHo on the Westside,
I work days and bleed nights
And I look to you by my side
One of these days the timing's gonna be right
I'm gonna keep my word and be your wife
There's gotta be something that brings me home
Cause we live, we fail, we try, on the road,
Yeah, you got it...
Don't ever let someone
Get in the way of what you love
Stay true (Brooklyn)
Stay true (Japan)
Stay true (Berlin)
See you and I see right through,
baby everything is black and blue with you
Wasting money, killing time,
Everything is on my dime with you
[Chorus:]
Lay it on the line one more time
Tell me what to believe one more time
Maybe it's just the price I pay,
Gotta live to love you everyday, it's ok
We're cutting our loses
And drinking our dreams,
Everything is worse than it seems with you
[Chorus: x2]
Lay it on the line one more time
Tell me what to believe one more time
(I'm just fine)
See you now that we're both new
And all the stuff we've worked through,
It's you
Wasting days and giving lines,
And everything came in time with you
For what it's worth
I know I can't control you
My green eyes, counterfeit smile,
I long to hold you
I've got nothing but distrust
Don't you make me lie to you,
blame it on them like I always do,
Like I do
Pay up, yeah, I'd love to
Over the hollowed hearts of the east bay
I live for nothing, if not today
When you left you didn't even say goodbye
I saw it in your eyes man, you didn't even try
It's been so long now, since I've laid you down
Come back, come back to me [x2]
Times we're tough, but we're still family
Come back, come back to me...
Over the lines that divided my country
The good and bad that make up today
When I left I didn't say goodbye
You saw it in my eyes, I didn't even try
It's been so long now, since I've laid you down
Come back, come back to me [x2]
I buried my heart, in the east bay
You know, like the last person alive you can't complain
You've been strong enough to survive in this low range
So take your choices now cos you're to blame for this lack of change
So put up a fight, it's not over
The twist of the knife can only bring you closer
This is not
This is not
Not an exit
Inside, the silence hits you hard and wears you out
I'm standing where you stood and I'm stuck myself
Opinions come and go but never help
So wrecked with doubt
So put up a fight, it's not over
The twist of the knife can only bring us closer
This is not
This is not
Not an exit
So put up a fight, it's not over
The twist of the knife can only bring us closer
This is not
This is not
No, this is not
This is not
No warning sign that you've heard about
No friend of mine would ever let me down
I cant be sure I got my story straight
So spoken for another quiet wait
Another quiet wait
No warning sign here no warning sign
Cutthroat its who you know (similar assassins you and I)
We're both on the same road
Still fighting at every turn
This wasn't my design
So hard to tell what I have become
A silent film that's run too long
No warning sign here......
Cutthroat its who you know (similar assassins you and I)
We're both on the same road
Still fighting at every turn
This wasn't my design
Cutthroat its who you know (similar assassins you and I)
We're both on the same road
Still fighting at every turn
This wasn't my design
This is last time
This is last time
This is last time
This is last time
This is last time
This is last time (oooooooooooh)
Taking turns at games we play
I heard you call for a need to explore
All my secrets and more again
So I won't mind if you drop by
This house is lost without your smile beside me
Stepping up the pace
We'll scorch the inner city
Friends and family waste
We'll scorch the inner city
Be my latest craze
We'll scorch the inner city
Because I will never ever try to leave you like i...
With a brand new head, I can start again
I'll rip it up and I fill in the blanks
From the time on the shelf, my friend
But things will change in this arcade
But for know we'll entertain each other
Stepping up the pace
We'll scorch the inner city
Friends and family waste
We'll scorch the inner city
Be my latest craze
We'll scorch the inner city
Because I will never ever try to leave you like i...
Walk on by, and things will be ok
We'll both be fine, in Sunset Boulevard
Stepping up the pace
We'll scorch the inner city
Friends and the family waste
We'll scorch the inner city
Be my latest craze
We'll scorch the inner city
Because I will never ever try to leave you like i...
One mistake is never enough
One mistake is never enough
One mistake is never enough
One mistake is never enough
The rot of the stars is creeping by
To merge in avenues while freeways glide
Caught in the shade we stumble through
To burn our way among the chosen few
You could have said – the wait is almost over
Back in the middle, stuck up in the middle again
Bruised and scarred you come to me for comfort
But I've seen the rot of the stars and they're to blame
Drift though shrinker men
To simplify again
Become what you are I hear you say
Stuck inside this shell we start to fade
You could have said – the wait is almost over
Back in the middle, stuck up in the middle again
Bruised and scarred you come to me for comfort
But I've seen the rot of the stars and they're to blame
You could have said – the wait is almost over
Back in the middle, stuck up in the middle again
Bruised and scarred you come to me for comfort
I got my sea and I'll swim for you
Keep this ocean clear and were safely thru
But its warm in here and the lights burn clear
My time in space has gone.
One day this street will end and lead us somewhere new
But I don't want to start again we got to see this thru
But its warm in here and the lights burn clear
My time in space has gone
Like a desert stretched before the sun
Stretched before the sun its you and I
There's no operation Joe
There's no operation Joe
You've got no license ... for you to kill
And I've got no memory of this
I've got no memory of this
I don't think that I have full control
I'll stop, when my cup is full
Seems so far away
And I'm not quite through
And I'm not quite through
State – I'm Falling
State – whatever you might say
He hides in my head, all the time
I saw you checking me out
I sense what you're about
But you're welcome
In my domicile
So come on, take a snap
A Polaroid for the rack
To make you feel good
Like I knew it would
I'll stop, when my cup is full
It seems so far away
And I'm not quite through
I'm not quite through
State – I'm falling
State – whatever you might say
He hides in my head, all the time
I'm in a state – I'm falling
State – whatever you might say
He hides in my head, all the time
And I have all the time [second vocalist]
And I have all the time
And I'm looking for a fight
And I have all the time
Hoping things will be ok
And I have all the time
And I trust we'll both be fine
On this psychic rainy night
The rise and fall of something slowly
As we move on to keep you going
The rise and fall of something slowly
As we move on to keep you going
We endorse you
We endorse you
Psychic rainy, psychic rainy
Psychic rainy, psychic rainy
There's a house on the lake
There's a house on the lake
Why don't you come down?
There's a house on the lake
There's a house on the lake
I hope you'll come down
There's a house on the lake
There's a house on the lake
I hope you'll come down
There's a house on the lake
There's a house on the lake
I could be the last true survivor
I'll drive you out of town and I'll show you
We're both country bound
We're both country bound
Nothing's what it seems
We are confusion
Lost behind the scenes
As we hold on to what we almost had
I miss what we once had
There's a house on the lake
There's a house on the lake
Take the corner slow please be careful
The conversation slow as we check to
This hotel vacancy, a hotel vacancy
There's a house on the lake
Where life is simple
There's a house on the lake
Where we'll have all the time
We'll have so much time
The porchlight flickers
I hear you calling
If we could hold one
Would you hold on?
‘cause I feel your breathing
we're closely linked now
if we could turn back
would you turn back?
As we fall
We have time
So much time
As we lay broken down
I think of all the things to tell you
As we lay in frozen ground
A fallen chance for us to pull through
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
Remove the tie and you will find
that the details are now complete
and hope is a word that we both hope for
the changing seasons we both need
and You're so beautiful when you shine for me
and You're so beautiful when you shine, oh
There's not much left, it's been so long
and this reflection has not been kind
So we place our hands in these foreign skys
it's so easy to forget
You're so beautiful when you shine for me
You're so beautiful when you shine for me
You're so beautiful when you shine for me
We drive through the wood its dark now
You overlook my talking
Your always in my eyes now
I guess I'm saying nothing new
The silence is more beautiful than you will ever know
Don' touch any thing don't let this moment go
Don't move you'll contaminate the glow
I need to be alone
We drive through the wood its dark now
And when your alone your smiling
Your always in my eyes now
You know what it is but you don't say
The silence is more beautiful than you will ever know
Don't touch anything don't lever let it go
The silence is more beautiful and you will never know
You take everything and never let it show
Don't move there is nothing here to show
So where you been for so long
Did you ever stop to ask what's wrong
So hold on tight cos life speeds by
What's done is done ahead the answers lie
No sense in confrontation
Takes time to heal this tension
Just tryin' to keep me happy but all I feel is empty
And it's too bad that your homsteads lie
On battlefields where lack of space confines
So hold on to the ones you trust
Take something from the fire that's almost out
No sense in confrontation
Takes time to heal this tension
Just tryin' to keep me happy but all I feel is empty
We've got big ideas to keep ourselves alive
We've got big ideas to keep ourselves alive
But everything is going to be alright
Nice place to visit when you're being led there
Everything is going to be alright
Nice place to visit when you're being led there (for all you know)
Everything is going to be alright
Nice place to visit when you're being led there (for all you know)
Everything is going to be alright
No sense in confrontation
Takes time to heal this tension
Just tryin' to keep me happy but all I feel is empty
I've been addicted to long, by now were set up for the fall
Just trying to keep me happy, but all I feel is empty
Slow, slow yourself down
I will talk
Second's a minute too long
I will talk
It's very easy, I know
I will talk
You will listen
When the questions roll in
I just want you
To realize what's going on
Oh, beautiful truth
Tell me, love, is that what you want?
This low, it's something I've felt
For so long
I'll speak when it's all written down
In my head, worked out
Will you listen?
When the questions roll in
I just want you
To realize all I have done
Oh, the beautiful truth
Tell me, love, is that what you want?
Is that what you want?
Is that what you want?
Is that what you want?
I just want you
To realize what's going on
And this beautiful truth
n the city I lost myself
Despise the chaos but hard to get out
And I'm always the first in line
just lucky to be alive
Got hate or so they say
I drained the cup of the bitter taste
I'll take the shadows to keep me at ease
Lost it all in this leisure scene
A neat science
A neat science
Met myself a dead tape collector
I can't help it, I'm on a guntrip
I can't help it, I'm on a guntrip
Can't stand the tie that binds
With every corner a new surprise
I guess its time to stand up tall
See how it feels to lose it all
A neat science
A neat science
Met myself a dead tape collector
I can't help it
I didn't think I'd fucked up this much
I didn't think I'd fucked up this much
I didn't think I'd fucked up this much
Walk hand in hand on roadsides clear
Swift to understand, but not quite there
But it's like they always say too much too soon
Will get you in the end so what's new
Meet in stolen cars on woodland plains
A view to a few a big mistake
To trust in anything in anyone
We'll catch up in the end let's move on
Let's move on
Try to catch a glimpse too many screens
Caught in the thought we can't compete
But it's like they always say too much too soon
(I told you I told you if I could)
Will get you in the end so what's new
(I told you I’ll hold you if I could)
Lines to be drawn, I’ve got a system here complete to enjoy
The start of something hard to reach that much is clear
Too many questions asked before we could hear
I hope your wretched town...
Walk hand in hand on roadsides clear
Swift to gather form, but not quite there
But it's like they always say too much too soon
(I told you I told you if I could)
Will get you in the end so what's new
(I told you I’ll hold you if I could)
Lines to be drawn, I’ve got a system here complete to enjoy
The start of something hard to reach that much is clear
Too many questions asked before we could hear
Keep me satisfied and I'll stay true to you
A promise broken one too many times
Defending all I have to a conspiracy
I'm guilty once again stood in the light
But I am the reason why
There's no one but me this time
And I'll take the easy life... you'll find
Keep me occupied cos my mind is tired
Keep me occupied for a little while
My patience is observed through a shady glass
And losing every trace of you is hard
But I am the reason why
There's no one but me this time
And I'll take the easy life... you'll find
[So, I can't hear you]
I'm guilty, and you know, I can't help myself this time
I'm guilty, and you know, I can't help myself this time
I'm lost you'll find
And I'll always take the easy path
And I'll always take the easy path
Caught you stealing the show again
You're so easy to offend
Every gesture I try and make
Hard to see now, with lazy eyes
Your broken blizzard blind, well you're quite a find
It's a joke
But we're afloat
But that's ok
We were lost for a while
Well we're found safe
Such a dream, you and me,
Or so they say
I won't mind if they try once again
Out the back now no sound at all
We're barefoot as we crawl
The conversation, it helps me sleep
Hard to see now, with lazy eyes
Your broken blizzard blind, well you're quite a find
It's a joke
But we're afloat
But that's ok
We were lost for a while
Well we're found safe
Such a dream, you and me
Or so they say
I won't mind if they try once again
Nothing is solid, everything's broken
I saw your new girlfriend, she's beautifully spoken
I saw your new lover, out for a ride
I saw your new lover, she's equally sized
She's equally sized
She's equally sized
It's a joke
But we're afloat
But that's ok
We were lost for a while
Well we're found safe
Such a dream you and me
Or so they say
I won't mind if they try once again
Nothing is solid, everything's broken
I saw your new girlfriend, she's beautifully spoken
I saw your new lover, she was out for a ride
It's a shame, but its funny how I
Could never find the words to describe
How I feel, so restless for more
Guess I'll wait like I've waited before
So pleased to know we will get there in the end
To leap the ride and take a step back from the edge
The sinking ship has left me for dead
Nothing to lose but the mess in my head
And you could call, you could call me anytime
And you could call, you could call me if you like
So pleased to know we will get there in the end
To leap the ride and take a step back from the edge
From the edge
From the edge
From the edge
A way of letting go, a way of saying goodbye
Sit back in the couch now
Thinking of slender coastlines outside
I saw you all standing
With a nation of spies
Do you like this hot weather
Loosening clothes – she said she's all right
Warm in her cashmere coat
We'll brush aside the wire
And we'll limp down
She's buried in concrete now
But we're doing fine, thanks
She's got some secret cement behind the kitchen door
With a delicate smile, she'll be coming back for more
Crash, dig, down, find, time, find, time
Crash, dig, down, find, time,
Always coming down
Always coming down
Always coming down
Sit back and check and smile
Sit back and check and smile
Sit back and check and smile
Sit back and check and smile
Sit back and check and smile
Always
I think I saw your head collapsing
She's buried in concrete now
But we're doing fine, thanks
She's got some secret cement behind the kitchen door
With a delicate smile, we'll be coming back for more
Crash, dig, down, find, time, find, time
Crash, dig, down, find, time
And everybody cloaking in and out
Working from the same advice
And everybody got their lies to shout
I didn't listen when they gave the prize
So keep on running from the quiet life
This silence wasn't meant for you
It doesn't matter where you put yourself
You'll find there's nothing to hold on to
Get up, get up, get up, get up soldier
You've got your head screwed on
Nobody change this, nobody change this
I can make this count, I gotta make this count...
And everybody cloaking in and out
Working from the same advice
And everybody got their lies to shout
I didn't listen when they gave the prize
Get up, get up, get up, get up soldier
You've got your head screwed on
Nobody change this, nobody change this
Get up, get up, get up, get up soldier
You've got your head screwed on
Nobody change this, nobody change this
Get up, get up, get up, get up soldier
You've got your head screwed on
Nobody change this, nobody change this
Get up, get up, get up, get up soldier
You've got your head screwed on
For all times,
I left you in a bad way
I've seen it all before, I'll cary on my own way
But somethings gone.
You're all alone, no design
So take your time
Elsewhere appoint yourself a friend,
Show us that you really care about someone
You're all alone
You've got away, you've got a way
You were the wrong one and you broke the line
You've got away, you've got away
You were the strong one but now you are fine
I saw you check around the room
Saw you shake your head, your eyes are crying and your face is red
You've got away, you've got a way
You were the strong one and you broke the line
You've got away, you've got away
You were the wrong one but now you are fine
You've got away, you've got a way
You were the wrong one and you broke the line
You've got away, you've got away
We were found by rocks and cliffs
And with restless words we set about
To settle down by the long tall pines a...
Final chance to escape from these crowds
But I'm so hopeful about me know
I feel so safe with nothing much
As you came to confuse my life with...
Your simple thrills and a force-fed love
Watch yourself, watch yourself now
It's your life, it's your life
Take good care, take good care now
It's alright, it's alright
I'm so tired of all the wasted
Time you slept in our finest hour
But there's a thread that will keep us tied to
Your safe routine and a friendly smile
Watch yourself, watch yourself now
It's your life, it's your life
Take good care, take good care now
It's alright, it's alright
I'll watch burn here in California
But we'll survive here, we'll survive here
We'll survive here, we'll survive here
we'll survive here, we'll survive here
You get the feeling this is your last shot
Watch yourself, watch yourself now
It's your life, it's your life
Take good care, take good care now
So how does it feel you made a fresh start I slept as fuelled the fire in your heart
I got no regrets just happy we spent just like you said were shaped for something else
I've been waiting for my turn
and I am not that scared of you
and I will not be confused
and looking back I think I always knew
No point in denial escape for fresh air wish I could tell too scared of what comes next
so hard to resist so try to forget the sarcasm fits been working on my smile
I've been waiting for my turn
and I am not that scared of you
and I will not be confused
and looking back I think I always knew
Been waiting for my turn too scared of what comes next
I've been waiting for my turn one day this all will make some sense
Blind leading blind
Got to get away from now on
Got to get a skin that I can feel
Time for me to breathe it's been too long.
So plenty ties the mind
I could use a little more
Well you think you got it right
You could do a little more.
So I'll keep moving through your star lands
I'm closing, where you going to run to next?
All the wasters come alive
And all the wasters come alive
And all the wasters come alive
All the wasters...
Line linking to
I got myself a line linking from
Still laughing at the best that you can do
I'm laughing 'cos I know I'll soon be strong.
Plenty ties the mind
I could use a little more
Well you think you got it right
I could use a little more.
I'll keep moving through your star lands
I'm closing, where you going to run to next?
All the wasters come alive
And all the wasters come alive
And all the wasters come alive
All the wasters
And all the wasters.
All the wasters (come alive) x 4
Plenty ties the mind
I could use a little more
Well you think you got it right
You could do a little more.
So I'll keep moving through your star lands
I'm closing, where you going to run to next?
I'll keep moving through your star lands
I'm closing, where you going to run to next?
All the wasters come alive
And all the wasters come alive
And all the wasters come alive
Party's over, summer's gone
You'll have left here before too long
But what do you know, sat here again in autumn shades
And it's alright just for now we're safe
Shaking trees bring a smiling face
Startled eyes through a smoky haze
But what do they know and why should we care what they say
But it's alright, just for now we're safe
You gotta get out for what is over
You gotta get out to go explore
You gotta get up for what you're missing
You gotta get up for me once more
So what do you know, sat here again in autumn shades
And it's alright just for now we're safe
You gotta get out for what is over
You gotta get out to go explore
You gotta get up for what you're missing
You gotta get up for me once more
You gotta get out for what is over
You gotta get out to go explore
You gotta get up for what you're missing
Once more
We'll take our time just to get a little high
Keep walking into corners not facing straight
I'm begging for attention in this silent space
So keep pulling at the splinter it all starts here
Could use a little something to help me care
It looks good on you it does it looks good on you it must
Has this race got too swift can we all walk away (x2)
And get this splinter out get this splinter out out out out.
So I'm passing on a future for someone else
Still stuck inside excuses and I can't get out
I need a little tension to help explain
It looks good on you I trust it looks good on you it does
Has this race got too swift can we all walk away (x2)
And get this splinter out get this splinter out out out out.
Has this race got too swift can we all walk away (x4)
