even lady luck
she said she could not help
she's just a dead end queen
keep her away from me
she said, "keep her away from me,
i don't even like to see her breathe
i can't stand staring at the face of me
girl, stay away from me"
she's not the kind that you want to be seen with
she's the dead end queen, she's the dead end queen
she's a dead end queen
she's not the kind that you want to be seen with
she's a dead end queen, she's a dead end queen
a misjustice
i think you've misjudged us
we're not a charlatan
and we don't got no gun, no
wait, just let me see
get close enough to use my telepathy
i'll drain a little piece of you into me
then, i won't get shot
she's a dead end queen
she's not the kind that you want to be seen with
she's the dead end queen, she's the dead end queen
oh no, she's a dead end queen
she's not the kind that you want to be seen with
she's a dead end queen, she's a dead end queen
take it, take it all away
take it, take it all away from her
take it, take it all away
take it, take it all away from her
oh NOOOO
oh NOOOO
oh NOOOO
she's a dead end queen
she's not the kind that you want to be seen with
she's the dead end queen, she's the dead end queen
oh now, she's a dead end queen
she's not the kind that you want to be seen with
she's a dead end queen, she's a dead end queen
take it, take it all away
take it, take it all away from her
take it, take it all away
a heart can only break so much
before it has to bleed
i want to split myself open
and bleed it out for you
until the sharp pain washes away
to dull throbs to nothing
i know these things should not be said
the voices in my head
but this is the only remedy
i know that will extinguish this
burning fire inside my heart
how many times will i be beat?
i'll die before they break me
or was i not meant for this earth?
to bleed and bleed again
i want to split myself open
and bleed it out for you
i know these should not be said
and i am so sorry
but this is the only remedy
i know that will extinguish this
burning fire inside my heart
it's you
and me
and you
and a knife
it's you
and me
and you
and a knife
blood, right
blood, right
blood, right
it's my blood spilling tonight
blood, right
blood, right
it's my blood spilling tonight
and it's for good this time
'cause this is the only remedy
i know that will extinguish this
burning fire inside my heart
it's you
and me
and you
and a knife
it's you
and me
and you
and a knife
it's you
and me
and you
and a knife
it's you
and me
and you
I am cocked and loaded
Only shooting blanks
Nothing that would put a hole in
You or your precious heart
That's right, I'm yours for the taking
I'll put up a front
They won't even know I'm faking
It's not just my bones
It's my heart that you're breaking
Or so you seem to be tonight
Last dance, second chance
Even when there's blood on my hands
Last chance left to dance
Even when there's blood on my hands
My idea of romance
My lack of innocence
Really makes no difference
Here and now
I am ripe for the plucking
Ready to take a dive
Throw the fight, you'll be so lucky
It's not just my heart
It's my soul that you're sucking
Or so you seem to be tonight
Last dance, second chance
Even when there's blood on my hands
Last chance left to dance
Even when there's blood on my hands
Even when there's blood on my hands
Or so you seem to be tonight
Last dance, second chance
Last chance left to dance
Last dance, second chance
Last chance left to dance
Even when there's blood on my hands
Even when there's blood on my hands
Even when there's blood on my hands
Last dance, second chance
Last chance left to dance
Last dance, second chance
if you could take me with you
would you be delicate with me?
this is my first time communion
i cannot breathe or speak or see
i'm out of my mind
i'm out of my mind
i'm out of my mind
there's no words to communicate to you
i'm out of my mind
there's no words to communicate to you
there are no words for what you are
no way i'll ever quite explain
they are too fearful for reason
only the veil that is to blame
i'm out of my mind
there's no words to communicate to you
i'm out of my mind
there's no words to communicate to you
i'm out of my mind
there's no words to communicate to you
i'm out of my mind
no, my mind, yeah, communicate to you
i'm out of my mind
i'm out of my mind
if i could stay here forever
no-one would ever have to know
you came to take me away
i'm out of my mind
there's no words to communicate to you
i'm out of my mind
there's no words to communicate to you
i'm out of my mind
there's no words to communicate to you
i'm out of my mind
now my mind can't communicate to you
i'm out of my mind
i'm out of my mind
i'm out of my mind
Half past 3 and I'm still awake.
The room filled with the strangest glow.
That's when I saw the glimmerman.
Figured I would get myself a brand new glow.
I need a brand new glow.
I need a brand new glow.
I need a brand new glow.
Half past 4 and I'm still awake.
Half lit eyes moving way too slow.
Won't you lend me your shimmer, man.
Figured I'd get myself a brand new
Why won't you bring me something oh.
I'm almost ever glow.
Why don't you bring me something oh.
I need a brand new glow.
Why won't you bring me something oh.
I'm almost every glow.
Why won't you bring me something.
Why won't you, I need a brand new glow.
I need a brand new glow.
I need a brand new glow.
I need a brand new glow.
Half past 5 and I'm still awake.
My limbs stuck to the furniture.
Tick tock pounding my head away.
Figured I'd get myself a new glow.
Half past 6 and I'm still awake.
Hard headed, right to the diamond room.
Won't you lend me your shimmer, man.
Why won't you bring me something oh?
I'm almost every glow.
Why won't you bring me something oh?
I need a brand new glow.
Why won't you bring me something oh?
I'm almost every glow.
Why won't you bring me something?
Why won't you? I need a brand new glow.
I need a brand new glow.
I need a brand new glow.
I need a brand new glow.
Empty bottle in these hands again tonight
You could never get it right
I am shattered to the core
From the Saturday before
Now to big for there is nothing left to say
Except I wish we never met
Big eyes big enough to see
You were not the one who's meant for me
I had a master plan for you
But you let me down
I am over it now
I am over it now
I had a master plan for you
But you let me down
I am over it now
I am over it now
Diagrams and calculations had been made
This should last a long, long while
Just a few things left to chance
Nothing of significance
Nothing I hate more than weakness
Being feigned
By the girl who holds the reins
Nothing I hate more than that
But the man who foiled my master plan
I had a master plan for you
But you let me down
I am over it now
I am over it now
I had a master plan for you
But you let me down
I am over it now
I am over it now
There's a fever in these cells again tonight
You will never get it right
Pick myself up off the floor
I'm not shattered like I was before
I had a master plan for you
But you let me down
I am over it now
I am over it now
I had a master plan for you
But you let me down
I am over it now
You were right, you were bigger than me
I no longer see the sun, you have eclipsed it
When you left you reflected back the light
The glow of a million creatures with hope burning bright
I will wait for you a thousand years
You retrograde like planets slipping backwards
I will wait for you a thousand more
One thousand promises, one thousand last goodbyes
You were right, you were better than me
I've broken all my mirrors so you can't see what you've done to me
I am yours forevermore
I will wait for you a thousand years
A thousand promises, one thousand last goodbyes
I will wait for you a thousand more
You retrograde like planets slipping backwards, slipping backwards
You were right
You were right
You were right
You were right
I will wait for you a thousand years
You retrograde like planets slipping backwards
I will wait for you a thousand more
One thousand promises, one thousand last goodbyes
A thousand last goodbyes
You were right
down on the floor
i've been here before
and darling, the pain of make-believe
taking it slow
enjoying the show
i'll be here forever and ever
the drinks, i've spilled them everywhere
when the room turned on its side
stop cold
i sold
my soul
so you could be my millionaire
down on the floor
i've been here before
i'm begging to please you
please you, please
taking it slow
because i am holding on for life
stop cold
i sold
my soul
so you could be my millionaire
stop cold
i sold
my soul
so you could be my millionaire
sit back and enjoy the show
i've given you everything you need
sit back and enjoy the show for me
down on the floor
i've been here time after godforsaken time
the room is turning back again
i'm holding on for life
stop cold
i sold
my soul
so you could be my millionaire
stop cold
i sold
my soul
so you could be my millionaire
so you could be my millionaire
so you could be my millionaire
won't you be my millionaire?
i'd let you be my millionaire
'cause i sold
my soul

vague feeling of dread
dreamt what's his name was dead
or maybe was Christian

Christian, Christian, line 'em up for the witch hunt
Christian, Christian, will it be sink or swim?
Christian, Christian, you and yours like the wolf pack
Christian, Christian, moving in for the kill
the needles, i dream
of keeping them so clean
we'll finish what we have
we're finished
Christian, Christian, line 'em up for the witch hunt
Christian, Christian, will it be sink or swim?
Christian, Christian, you and yours like the wolf pack
Christian, Christian, moving in for, moving in for, moving in for the kill
there was blood on the walls
and hospitality needles
when he thought he was losing
was when I knew that he had won
there won't be blood on my hands
for things I never believed in
I'll admit I'm the loser
please just send me home
Christian, Christian, line 'em up for the witch hunt
Christian, Christian, will it be sink or swim?
Christian, Christian, you and yours like the wolf pack
politically

they say
the murder rate
dropped this year from one to seven
they say
it's gotta be
right for you and left for no one
they say
it's all about what
they say
it's all about what
you were speaking in tongues
conversations
was it your god speaking?
were you coming undone?
was it nature
that showed you that
desire
colours all you see
your desire
desire
the only thing you seek
you say you're coming undone
and you've still got
a bad taste in your mouth
from the conversation
with the snake that
has left you reeling
and you learned how to crawl
like a real man
now you're like the rest
on your knees
i'll show you that
desire
colours all you see
your desire
desire
is everything
desire
colours all you see
your desire
desire
the only thing you seek
now you're writhing around
in your own mess
cos you lie down with the snakes
naked and so shamed
before god
but still you're speaking in tongues
and your god says:
desire
colours only you see
your desire
desire
is everything
desire
colours only you see
your desire
desire
i was there
when they would stare
at you just like
the light had fallen
from the sun
you'd think that
jesus had come
i called you sugar on that day
and later sweetness drove my manic haze
and i found another name
so gorgeous was the day we met
i couldn't speak except to say how
gorgeous that i thought you were to me
delirious and daylight falling
into night i fell
i thought i'd drown myself
i thought i'd drown myself in you
well i shook the honey glaze from my head
and i realized, yeah i realized
i'd do anything for you
i'd do anything for you
my eyes were spinning round
like the twist of a top
my head reeling round so fast
i didn't think it could stop
but i stopped and
gorgeous was the day we met
i couldn't speak except to say how
gorgeous that i thought you were to me
so gorgeous was the day we met
i couldn't speak except to say how
gorgeous that the two of us could be
spill myself all over you like syrup
all delicious and stuck on you
yeah we'll wreck ourselves
yeah we'll wreck ourselves ?as two?
no unseen force can deny this -
why would it even try?
it'll never stop
it'll never go away
my eyes were spinning round
like the twist of a top
my head reeling round so fast
i didn't think it could stop
but i stopped and
gorgeous was the day we met
i couldn't speak except to say how
gorgeous that i thought you were to me
so gorgeous was the day we met
i couldn't speak except to say how
gorgeous that the two of us could be
so gorgeous was the day we met
i couldn't speak except to say how
gorgeous that the two of us could be
Just before the breakdown
Warm and colorful
All the faces shift and fade
Pressed her face against your's
Cold and colorless
She left the conversation days ago
Days ago
Why did you bring me here tonight?
Why did you bring me here tonight?
Hope this finds you happy
Know that we are fine
Getting half her share of death
It was nice to know you.
All my best regards.
I'll see you on the other side.
Oh, I will see you on the other side.
Why did you bring me here tonight?
Why did you bring me here?
Why did you bring me here tonight?
Why did you bring me here?
I would give my breath for this to never end
In the dark I know you're mine.
I tried for so many years
To stay uncomplicated
I guess that's just the way that
Things are and I'm undescended
You were always the last to remember my name
Underestimated the length of me
And my stay
I thought you'd never go away
One day all of this will be mine
(Did you think you'd be the one?)
I won't ever apologise
(Could you say you're sorry?)
Who will be the first in my line?
(Did you think you'd be the one?)
One day all of this will be mine
It will be mine
I tried like hell to lend you
My eyes but all you wanted
To see was me in pieces
Of lead that's all you wanted
I push my way through the crowd
And found a golden ticket
And you, you look like a dog
In heat without a ticket
Cause you were always the last to remember my name
Underestimated the length of me
And my stay
I thought you'd never go away
One day all of this will be mine
(Did you think you'd be the one?)
I won't ever apologise
(Could you say you're sorry?)
Who will be the first in my line?
(Did you think you'd be the one?)
One day all of this will be mine
It will be mine
Cause you were always the last to remember my name
Underestimated the length of me
And my stay
I thought you'd never go away!
One day all of this will be mine
(Did you think you'd be the one?)
I won't ever apologise
(Could you say you're sorry?)
Who will be the first in my line?
(Did you think you'd be the one?)
One day all of this will be mine
It could be mine
One day all of this will be mine
(Did you think you'd be the one?)
I won't ever apologise
(Could you say you're sorry?)
Who will be the first in my line?
(Did you think you'd be the one?)
One day all of this will be mine
It will be mine
we used to say we were in like flynn
red rockets and we were in
and the hairline fracture in my ankle bone
aches just enough to remind me that i'm alone
and the black cat seems so far away
even though it was only yesterday
even though it was only yesterday
there'll be no explosions tonight
no matter how hard i try
and how i will i remain upright
as you're walking by?
we were shaking down the reptile house
(we were shakin', yeah we were shakin')
bottle rockets without a doubt
and the blood sweat shivers running through these veins
(we were shakin', yeah we were shakin')
it kills me to know some things will never be the same
and the big black seems so far away
even though it was only yesterday
even though it was always yesterday
there'll be no explosions tonight
no matter how hard i try
and how will i remain upright
as you're walking by?
there'll be no explosions tonight
no matter how hard i try
and how will i remain upright?
you're just walking by
it's all or nothing at all...
or nothing at all...
you always said that it was just for kicks
the blue baby needs another fix
i was the lifter now these broken bones
they ache just enough to remind me that i'm alone
there'll be no explosions tonight
no matter how hard i try
and how will i remain upright
as you're walking by?
there'll be no explosions tonight
no matter how hard i try
and how will i remain upright?
you're just walking by
Girl thought you were dead
For a while
Until your lips curled
up to a smile
And she screamed Sunday stories were untrue
Or the meek ones they're not you
Cause you won't inherit this
You're a fool
No you ain't got the best of me
It was all just a fantasy
Because I am the winner
You're still nobody
Glass in pieces over the tile
Smoke and mirror face in the pile
And she screamed it was always about you
And the bad things that you do
They cannot compare to this
What a tool
No, you ain't got the best of me
It was all just a fantasy
Because I am the winner
You're still nobody
Speaking secret story to me
Spit and fingers your fantasy
Girl thought you were wild for a while
Until your lips curled up to a smile
And it seems from the stories you told me
There is one thing we'll agree
Is that you will never be extraordinary
No, you ain't got the best of me
It was all just a fantasy
Because I am the winner
You're still nobody
No, you ain't got the best of me
It was all just a fantasy
Because I am the winner
You're still nobody
You're still nobody
Shoot out the lights
And then you said,
"We've stayed high
Too long here in the sky"
You shoot out the lights
I had to see the big star rising
There's nothing to fear
'cause nothing can bring us down
Now that we've made it here
Nothing to fear
Nothing but the big star rising
Work my fingers to the bone
So we could get this high
But we still can't fly
I feel like coming down
You're still, still hanging around
My feet back on the ground
So I can runaway
I wanna runaway
I feel like coming down
You're still, still hanging around
My feet back on the ground
So I can runaway
I wanna runaway
Nothing for free
My hands will reach up so high
to bring you down with me
Nothing for free
I wanna see the big star rising
I don't mind the heat
Not even your flames will burn
As long as I can see
I don't mind the heat
I had to see the big star rising
Work my fingers to the bone
So we could get this high
But we still can't fly
I feel like coming down
You're still, still hanging around
My feet back on the ground
So I can runaway
I wanna runaway
I feel like coming down
You're still, still hanging around
My feet back on the ground
So I can runaway
I wanna runaway
I'm no good
Do you want me to be?
I'm not new
I have never been clean
I need you to purify my endless sin
Wash away the poison
Buried in this skin
I learned the hard way
I couldn't do it my way
You're no good
You're not new,
You have never been
I need you, oh yeah
I need you to fix this mess I'm in
No control
Keep repeating the lie
One more time
I could never deny
It seems as if these limbs belong to someone else
If I could only keep this all inside myself
This'll be the last time
It's what I said the last time
you're no good
you're not new,
you have never been
I need you, oh yeah
I need you to fix this
You're no good
You're not new,
You have never been
I need you, oh yeah
I need you to fix this mess I'm in
My heart, it beats so hard
It beats so hard
It beats for you
My heart, it beats so hard
It beats so hard
It beats for you
My heart, it beats so hard
It beats so hard
It beats for you
My heart, it beats so hard
It beats so hard
It beats so hard
You're no good
You're not new,
You have never been
I need you, oh yeah
I need you to fix this
You're no good
You're not new,
You have never been
I need you, oh yeah
She liked b-sides
She love obscure
His eyes fell right
Right into to her
Seven sisters swallowed
Everything she could see
He could be the one for her
And she said, "i'm so pleased to see
You recognize my disguise,
Doesn't make me like you more"
Sayonara or ciao, baby
It's all the same to me
Sayonara or ciao, baby
Auf wiedersehen
His hands, heart, arms
Fists, fingers
Turn back too late
She lingers
Today will be a day of reckoning
Time to leave
Time to leave the fear at the door
Sayonara or ciao, baby
It's all the same to me
Sayonara or ciao, baby
Auf wiedersehen
(we could)
We could try this
One time more
Once with feeling
Even the score
Today will be a day of reckoning
Time to leave
Time to leave the fear at the door
And I said, "I'm so pleased to see
You recognize my disguise,
Doesn't make me like you more"
Sayonara or ciao, baby
It's all the same to me
Sayonara or ciao, baby
my father, my son,
my holy ghost
you know the things
i've missed the most
to feel his skin upon my skin
god let me do it all again
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
god let me give you back these wings
i'll trade them for the little things
all these fantastic dreams of flight
i'd even give up all my light
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
god let me do it all again
to feel his skin upon my skin
my eyes to settle in his gaze
to feel his focus on me
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
Looking for any sign of life
Something to get me through the night
Still i can feel the pulse inside
Is there a human here tonight
You move me...
You move
I want you
To hear me
I'm screaming I'm screaming
I want you
With me
I'm screaming I'm screaming
Moving as if it weren't a dream
(if it weren't a dream)
A figment of non reality
(figment)
Watching your body rise and fall
(body rise and fall)
What if I wasn't here at all?
You move me
You move me
I want you
To hear me
I'm screaming I'm screaming
I want you
With me
I'm screaming I'm screaming
It'll be alright
As I hovered overhead
Went through all the things that you said
felt your fingers on my spine
you said
Don't worry baby
It'll be alright
It'll be just fine
You said I feel
Your face could make angels sing
You said you'd never leave me
You said
Don't worry baby
It'll be alright
It'll be just fine
I want you
To Hear Me
I'm screaming I'm screaming
I want you
With me
I'm screaming I'm screaming

you've heard the one
about the man who they say
had the golden touch
he used to mingle
with the mortals
til his lady had too much
she had to find
the reason for his sway
it seems i talk too much
her vengeance stopped me
dead in my tracks
now i can't speak
nemesis
ooh, nemesis
she's got the wrong girl
ooh, nemesis
she's got the wrong girl
ooh, nemesis
she's got the wrong girl
and now she caught me
after her man but
she was mistaken
and now i find my true love's gaze
is fixed only upon himself
the only charm she'll let me wear
is to follow him and repeat
and i wither here beside him still
no body, just my voice
nemesis
ooh, nemesis
she's got the wrong girl
ooh, nemesis
she's got the wrong girl
ooh, nemesis
she's got the wrong girl
you know i wish i was
the right girl
you know i wish i was
the right girl for him
you know i wish i was
the right girl
you know i wish i was
you know i wish i was
nemesis
ooh, nemesis
she's got the wrong girl
ooh, nemesis
she's got the wrong girl
ooh, nemesis
she's got the wrong girl
ooh, nemesis
she's got the wrong girl
you know i wish i was
one look at you
and i'm tongue-tied
as you move in time
with the flickering light
yeah you're moving with the lights
all i can do
is is to hold tight
as you move in time
with the flickering lights
and follow you endlessly toward the light
and ALL of my faculties have been removed
and i can't help but to lose myself in you
and i will melt
i will melt
i will melt
i will melt into you
and tonight looks like the world is on fire
seven motions, seven signs
to spend it with you
all i desire
as we move inside for the quickening time
c'mon follow me endlessly toward the light
and ALL of my faculties have been removed
and i can't help but to lose myself in you
and i will melt
i will melt
i will melt
i will melt into you
for one look at you
you know i'd pull the stars down
from the sky
for one look at you
you know i'd dash the universe night
just to bring you every light
for one look at you
and ALLL of my faculties have been removed
and i can't help but to lose myself in you
and i will melt
i will melt
i will melt
i will melt into you
for one look at you
you know i'd pull the stars down
from the sky
for one look at you
he says
"tag, you're it"
and i wait helpless
but i'm waiting nonetheless
it's just a little mess
that mr what's-his-name
had left behind
it's just a little mess
it's just a little mess
it's not the end of the world
i'll clean up later
i'll clean up later

when he says
i'm complete
was it a reflex
was he aiming for the head?

Yesterday or the day before
Definitely yes, yes the day before
On both of those it occurred to me
That I might already be dead
Dead and yet I'm awake it seems
I'm awake and stuck in extended dreams
Like life, like light, like days, like night
That I spend holding nothing but still
And I might be dead but I could be wrong
And I might be dead but I could just be wrong
Wake me please, so I can see
It's only a dream, only another dream
Wake me please, so I can see
It's only a dream, only another dream away
Yesterday or the day before
Definitely yes, yes the day before
On both of those it occurred to me
That I might already be dead
There's a worn spot here
On my sneaker toe from kicking your
From kicking your door
And I still can't get an answer from that
And I might be dead but I could be wrong
And I might be dead but I could just be wrong
Wake me please, so I can see
It's only a dream, only another dream
Wake me please, so I can see
It's only a dream, only another dream away
Wake me please, so I can see
It's only a dream, only another dream
Wake me please, so I can see
It's only a dream, only another dream away, away, away
And I might be dead but I could be wrong
And I might be dead but I could just be wrong
Wake me please, so I can see
It's only a dream, only another dream
Wake me please, so I can see
It's only a dream, only another dream away
only a dream, only another dream away
*well it takes a special kind of girl to appreciate someone like you*
a monumental love affair with emptiness
and i guess we all could take a bit of saccharin now and then
to fill the space sweet taste until the bitter comes
but in the immortal words of father flanagan who said:
"he said there is no such thing as a bad boy"
and you know i never met a man i didn't like
until the day i let you sink your teeth into me
life is sweet when you're beat on your knees whoa-oh-oh-oh
da-dum-dum...
*well it takes a special kind of girl just to tolerate the things you do*
in the immortal words of father flanagan who said:
"he said there is no such thing as a bad boy"
and you know we all could use a bit of discipline now and then
a study course in pain and plastic fashion, yeah
life is sweet when you're beat on your knees whoa-oh-oh-oh
da-dum-dum...
you sank your teeth right into me
i never needed you for
anything at all
and when the light comes
you know
i will be vanished
and that's the way i like it
the light's too bright here
hello now it's time to go
i got everything i need
and then some
hello now it's time to go
i got everything
everything i need
i could have asked ?
anything at all
i'm feeling slightly wounded
won't you kiss it better?
yeah that's the way i like it
the pain's not mine now
hello now it's time to go
i got everything i need
and then some
hello now it's time to go
i got everything

it only makes me bitter
and that's the way i like it
cos i've got mine
hello now it's time to go
i got everything i need
and then some
hello now it's time to go
i got everything
Never have what I want...
Never be what I want.
this is the first day
not like the last day
this is the first time
again
again
we were so devastatingly
out of our heads
i tried for forty nights to leave,
not leave you for dead
my wrists had grown so tired from bleeding
and pleading again ...
look at me
put the gun away
look at me
and release me
look at me
put the gun away
put the gun away
put the gun away
would it be perfect if i said
what shouldn't be said?
i'll let you hold the reins
i'll even, even give you a leg up
to have just forty more, i'd bleed...
i'm pleading again
look at me
put the gun away
look at me
and release me
look at me
put the gun away
put the gun away
put the gun away
forty days and forty nights
that we could be breathing
we could be breathing again
forty days and forty nights

i could bleed
does it make me the same as her?
i could show you things
but i feel that you have
seen it all before
and i breathe
does it make me the same as her?
and i feel and i know
i feel exactly the same as her
it can't be
exactly
i am not
tears falling over you
how did you get so old?
how did you get so old?
it can't be
exactly
i am not
tears falling over you
how did you get so old?
how did you get so old?
i can see
that it makes me the same as her

the way she made you feel
and i breathe
does it make me the same as her?
and i feel and i know
i feel exactly the same as her
it can't be
exactly
i am not
tears falling over you
how did you get so old?
how did you get so old?
it can't be
exactly
i am not
tears falling over you
how did you get so old?
how did you get so old?
and to think i was the one
that you pushed aside
i could breathe but i fear that i'd
leave it far behind
i'm over
falling over
i could bleed
does it make me the same as her?
i could show you things
but i feel that you
have seen it all before
and i breathe
does it make me the same as her?
and i feel and i know
i feel exactly the same as her
it can't be
exactly
i am not
tears falling over you
how did you get so old?
how did you get so old?
it can't be
exactly
i am not
tears falling over you
how did you get so old?
"hey hey," she said
"i'm not half the man i used to be
the shoes you lent me
don't seem to fit the same."
we can still haha and laugh about it
cos all in all i never doubted

"that you always want what you can't get"

You probably wish you were
Anywhere but here...
Remember this now 'cos it soon will disappear
You'll find yourself wishing
You're anyone but you.
I'm starting to wish I were
Anyone but me.
And I will be broken by this...
As soon as you wake you will
Find me on my way.
And soon when it's safe you may
Find a love again.
And I will be broken by this
Sweet dream
But it's all I have.
Seems that it, oh it
Always bleeds like this
When nothing's wrong
But nothing feels right
You're knocked down and dying,
You'll stand right back up
And you'll fall all alone...
All in this...
Sweet dream
It's all I have
A sweet dream
It's all I have
It's the finest moment that you've ever had.
Like a fallen star in the palm of your hand.
A sweet dream
It's all I have
A sweet dream
I cured you once... you will live...
But you can't lead yourself on your own...
What did you hope to see inside
(everything?)
What can we fit between the lines?
(You owe me)
We can run but we can't hide...
And I trust you to wait
'Til I chase you away
You'll come back and settle this,
You can do no wrong...
You're looking a lot like
Mother Mary -
Yeah, you talk a lot... like Christ.
You taste so much like God to me now...
You feel so much like silk.
(Feel so much like silk...)
But I trust you to wait
(you can't turn around.
I need you too much for this)
'Til I chase you away
You'll come back and settle this
You can do no wrong...
In my eyes you can do no wrong...
In my eyes you can do no wrong...
In my eyes you can do no wrong...
(In my eyes,
You can do no wrong...)
You're just like silk.
I'd kill you first, Guilty One -
This is hurt... Push it through,
Guide me -
Push it through,
I found these plastic parts and wires
Let's split me open at the seams
And rip out everything inside
Make room for all these new machines
Sew me up, pray that i survive
A brand new me
Piece by piece
Stay here and watch me bleed
It's a brand new me, piece by piece
I'll leave a black tear in the sky
To help remember what you've seen
And I'll set this place on fire
Just break and burn down everything
I'm made of plastic parts and wires now
I wont feel anything
Stay here and watch me bleed
It's a brand new me, piece by piece
My flesh, my bones, my blood
They hold my hate, my love
They hold my hate, my pain...
Just take a breath and walk away
Stay here and watch me bleed
I am on the brink of losing everything
Hanging on the edge of every word she says
And you were never there
You were never there
She stabs deep into me
Am I too blind to see what this has done to me
She stabs deep into me
Am I too numb to feel this anymore
You were the one who could save me
You were the one who abandoned me
I am patiently waiting here to see
Which of us survives
When all of this collides with reality
She stabs deep into me
Am I too blind to see what this has done to me
She stabs deep into me
Am I too numb to feel this anymore
The room fills up with water and the roar of the crowd died down, they didn't hold their
breath, they just waited to drown.
Now I'm just the ghost in the corner that nobody knows. I'm just the chill in the air that
comes and cuts you to the bone.
I've never seen it shine so bright here before.
I stumble blind into the light of it all.
The walls of this city are all cold metal and stone, but we're nothing permanent we're just
soft skin and bones.
I'm just the pins and needles attacking your toes.
I'm just a mesage you saved in your phone a long, long time ago where I'm singing how I've
never seen it shine so bright before.
I stumbled blind into the light, the light of it all.
You've never seen it shine, so hard before-
You'd crumble underneath the weight, the weight of it all.
I'm always with you.
I met the Devil in Poughkeepsie, New York.
He took a seat right beside me at the end of the bar.
He said I looked familiar, had we met sometime before?
Yeah, I drank with the Devil in Poughkeepsie, New York.
And I confessed I hadn't prayed to God since nineteen-eighty-eight,
he said, "oh kid, you should try again you know, before it's too late."
I asked him where my soul would go if I just dropped dead today,
he smiled and said
"Oh, you've got some good friends waiting for you at the gates."
Hallelujah! O', Hallelujah! He said,
"Just say the word and I'll give you fame and fancy whores,
or would you rather die a simple man, just honest and poor?"
I said,
"Well now I know who my real friends are and I can't ask for much more."
I thanked the Devil for my drinks and made my way for the door.
Surrender to my limitations
Fall back and hide away
Waiting for you,
Still breathing each breath for you...
Each breath I take, I take for you.
But sometimes I feel like I'm dying
Cold and shaking, holding on...
Waiting for you,
Still breathing each breath for you...
I am on the brink of losing everything
Hanging on the edge of every word she says
And you were never there
You were never there
She stabs deep into me
Am I too blind to see what this has done to me?
She stabs deep into me
Am I too numb to feel this anymore?
You were the one who could save me
You were the one who abandoned me
I am patiently waiting here to see
Which of us survives when all of this collides with reality
She stabs deep into me
Am I too blind to see what this has done to me?
She stabs deep into me
Am I too numb to feel this anymore?
You were never there
You were never there
You were never there
You were never
She stabs deep into me
Am I too blind to see what this has done to me?
She stabs deep into me
Am I too numb to feel this anymore?
You were never there
You were never there
You were never there
I've got enough wood and nails here I've collected through the years
to build a few sturdy walls to keep us safe from all my fears.
My insecurities are promises I was born to keep;
you know I live just to die for my beliefs.
Well, I believe in myself and I believe in you,
if it's the last thing we both do, let's take a good, deep breath - remember this...
Love is life, this love is my life... and in you I have all I need...
I think we could stretch this out forever,
like a blanket in the sand and we could learn a couple dances,
we'll do them hand in hand until we end and even after -
'cause death can't tear apart these two hearts sewn together,
meant to be this from the start.
In sickness and health and all that we've been through,
if it's the last thing we both do, let's take a good, deep breath - remember this...
Love is life. This love is my life... Love is a long way to fall...
She draws the costume correct in thick, black and red eyeliner.
She's too young for the club but the guys at the door don't mind her.
The boys are all lining up for their chance to wine and dine her.
She thinks she's working the scene,
but she's caught up in a web full of spiders (and all the drinks they buy her)
She don't like cocaine, baby just likes how it smells says maybe you can drive me home if you
want.
Then you wake up beside her saying "baby I think you should leave..."
- She had a really rough night, she got too high, now she can't breathe
and if the ambulance comes you know they're gonna bring the police,
so you wrap her up tight, put her to sleep beneath a willow tree
and your hands are clean...
She don't like cocaine, baby just likes how it smells says maybe you can drive me home if you
want.
So go out and have your fun tonight,
you might as well go out and raise your glass to life.
Go out and have your fun tonight,
you might as well go out and raise your drinks to life,
'cause we're all going to Hell...
And so now we can see how easily we become hopelessly tangled up
in the very webs we've spun.
So give me one last line and I promise you I'm done -
O' Say, can you see? By the dawn's early light -
we get 'em young, give 'em guns and ship 'em off to fight.
While the rocket's red glare is keeping everyone scared they say,
"just relax -
put your trust in me and you can sit back and watch the war on your screen."
The country's run by lunatics, they're picking up their pens,
writing themselves into Revelation, "this is how it's gonna end!" -
Well, I tried hard to bite my tongue,
like a good American but they recruited my little brother
and they're shipping off my friends.
Broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
you know those who stand to gain are not the ones who sacrifice -
watching bombs burst in air from a comfortable chair, they just say,
"in God we trust, and God trusts in greed,
yeah as long as they never show real blood on TV." -
I'm not sorry if this makes you mad, in fact I hope this wakes you up -
'Cause you'll never see what's going on with your eyes so tightly shut!
There are too many unanswered questions,
from the towers in New York to the lies leading up
to another corporate sponsored war -
Well I'll support the troops by asking what they're really fighting for -
and I think that's more patriotic than flying a flag from my front porch.
Come on, let's go out and start a fight!
'Cause you know two wrongs always make a right.
Come on, let's go out and start a fight!
Nothing to lose is a path you can choose and it feels just right at the time.
Then one day you awake with a fear you can't shake,
you're an actor forgetting your lines.
You were a star when you started,
so bright eyed and ready but now you just can't seem to shine.
Nothing to lose is a path that you choose and it feels just right at the time.
But can you still remember your very first kiss
or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?
Stay young, stay young.
There are constants like gravity, heartbreak and shame,
you can never out-run them,
they're part of your name like lessons you learn from a past you can't change,
stay young, stay young for a lifetime of paying dues and ruthless reviews,
yeah it's hard not to end up a cynic
when everyone's too scared to walk in your shoes
but can work up the nerve to be critics.
Oh, can you still remember your very first kiss
or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?
Stay young, stay young - no, don't lose you heart.
Don't lose your soul. Don't give up control.
It's the business end of a loaded gun, facing tomorrows of black,
useless lungs with nothing but lies left on tips of our tongues,
stay young, stay young! Oh can you still remember your very first kiss
or the future you hoped for when we were still kids
trying to keep up our innocence in this fucked up world?
