Yo fuck you, Kanye, first and foremost
For making me do this shit. Muh'fucker
Had to throw everybody out the motherfucking room
'Cause they don't fucking..
(I'd like to propose a toast)
(I said toast motherfucker)
And I am (here's to the roc)
And they ask me, they ask me, they ask me, I tell them (here's to Rocafella)
Raise your glasses, your glasses, your glasses to the sky (here's to the roc)
This is the last call for alcohol, for the... (here's to Rocafella)
So get your ass up off the wall
The all around the world Digital Underground, Pac
The Rudloph the red nosed reindeer of the Roc
I take my chain, my 15 seconds of fame
And come back next year with the whole fucking game
Ain't nobody expect Kanye to end up on top
They expected that College Dropout to drop and then flop
Then maybe he stop savin' all the good beats for himself
Rocafella's only niggaz that help
My money was thinner than Sean Paul's goatee hair
Now Jean Paul Gaultier cologne fill the air, here
They say he bourgie, he big-headed
Won't you please stop talking about how my dick head is
Flow infectious, give me 10 seconds
I'll have a buzz bigger than insects in Texas
It's funny how wasn't nobody interested
'Til the night I almost killed myself in Lexus
Now was Kanye the most overlooked? Yes sir
Now is Kanye the most overbooked? Yes sir
Though the fans want the feeling of A Tribe Called Quest
But all they got left is this guy called West
Better take Freeway, throw him on tracks with Mos Def
Call him Kwa-lI or Kwe-li, I put him on songs with Jay-Z
I'm the Gap like Banana Republic and Old Navy, and oooh
It come out sweeter than old Sadie
Nice as Bun-B when I met him at the Source awards
Girl he had with him - ass coulda won the horse awards
And I was almost famous, now everybody loves Kanye
I'm almost Raymond'
Some say he arrogant. Can y'all blame him?
It was straight embarrassing how y'all played him
Last year shoppin my demo, I was tryin' to shine
Every motherfucker told me that I couldn't rhyme
Now I could let these dream killers kill my self-esteem
Or use my arrogance as the steam to power my dreams
I use it as my gas, so they say that I'm gassed
But without it I'd be last, so I ought to laugh
So I don't listen to the suits behind the desk no more
You niggaz wear suits 'cause you can't dress no more
You can't say shit to Kanye West no more
I rocked 20,000 people, I was just on tour, nigga
I'm Kan, the Louis Vuitton Don
Bought my mom a purse, now she Louis Vuitton Mom
I ain't play the hand I was dealt, I changed my cards
I prayed to the skies and I changed my stars
I went to the malls and I balled too hard
'Oh my god, is that a Black Card?'
I turned around and replied, why yes but I prefer the term
African American Express
Brains, power, and muscle, like Dame, Puffy, and Russell
Your boy back on his hustle, you know what I've been up to
Killin y'all niggaz on that lyrical shit
Mayonnaise colored Benz, I push Miracle Whips
"... last call for alcohol, for my niggaz"
So this A&R; over at Rocafella, named Hiphop
picked the Truth beat for Beanie. And I was in the session with him
I had my demo with me. You know, like I always do
I play the songs, he's like "Who that spittin?"
I'm like "It's me." He's like "Oh, well okay."
Uhh, he started talkin to me on the phone
going back and forth, just askin me to send him beats
And I'm thinking he's trying to get into managing producers
cause he had this other kid named Just Blaze he was messin with
And um, he was friends with my mentor, No ID
And No ID told him, "look man, you wanna mess with Kanye
you need to tell him that you like the way he rap"
"Yo, you wanna sign him, tell him you like how he rap"
I was all, I dunno if he was gassin' me or not
but he's like he wanna manage me as a rapper AND a producer
"I'll sign you as a producer and a rapper",
I'm like oh shit
I was messin with, uh, D-Dot also
People were like this, started talking about the Ghost production
But that's how I got in the game. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be here
So you know. After they picked that Truth beat
I was figuring I was gonna do some more work
But shit just went poppin off like that. I was stayin in Chicago
I had my own apartment. I be doin' like, just beats for local acts
just to try to keep the lights on, and then to go out and buy
get a Pelle Pelle off lay-away, get some Jordans or something
or get a TechnoMarine, that's what we wore back then
I made this one beat where I sped up this Hal Melville sample
I played it for Hip over the phone, he's like "oh, yo that shit is crazy
Jay might want it for this compilation album he doin, called The Dynasty."
And at that time, like the drums really weren't soundin' right to me
so I went and um, I was listening to Dre Chronic 2001 at that time
and really I just, like picked the drums off Xxplosive and put it like
with it sped up, sampled, and now it's kind of like my whole style
when it started, when he rapped on 'This Can't be Life.'
And that was like, really the first beat of that kind that was on the Dynasty album
I could say that was the, the resurgence of this whole sound
You know, I got to come in and track the beat, and at the time
I was still with my other management. I really wanted to roll with
Hiphop. 'Cause I, I just needed some fresh air, you know what I'm
sayin, 'cause I been there for a while, I appreciated what they did
for me, but, you know there's a time in every man's life where he
gotta make a change, try to move up to the next level. And that day I
came and I tracked the beat and I got to meet Jay-Z and he said, "oh
you a real soulful dude"
. And he
uh, played the song 'cause he already spit his verse by the time I got
to the studio, you know how he do it, one take. And he said
"check this out, tell me what you think of this, right here"
"tell me what you think of this." And I heard it, and I was thinking
like, man, I really wanted more like of the simple type Jay-Z, I ain't
want like the, the more introspective, complicated rhy- or the, in my
personal opinion. So he asked me, "what you think of it?"
"so what you thinkin?"
And I was like, "man that shit tite,"
you know what I'm sayin', man what I'ma tell him? I was on the train
man, you know. So after that I went back home. And man I'm, I'm just
in Chicago, I'm trying to do my thing. You know, I got groups. I got
acts I'm trying to get on, and like there wasn't nothin really like
poppin' off the way it should have been. One of my homeys that was one
of my artists, he got signed. But it was supposed to really go through
my production company, but he ended up going straight with the
company. So, like I'm just straight holdin' the phone, gettin' the bad
news that dude was tryin' to leave my company. And I got evicted at
the same time. So I went down and tracked the beats from him, I took
that money, came back, packed all my shit up in a U-Haul, maybe about
ten days before I had to actually get out. So I ain't have to deal
with the landlord 'cause he's a jerk. Me and my mother drove to
"Come on, let's just go"
Newark, New Jersey. I hadn't even seen my apartment.
I remember I pulled up
"Kanye, baby, we're here",
I unpacked all my shit. You know, we went to Ikea, I bought a
bed, I put the bed together myself. I loaded up all my equipment, and
the first beat I made was, uh, 'Heart of the City.'
And Beans was still working on his album at that time, so I came up
there to Baseline, it was Beans' birthday, matter of fact, and I
played like seven beats. And, you know I could see he's in the zone
he already had the beats that he wanted, I did nothing like already at
that time. But then Jay walked in. I remember he had a GuccI bucket
hat on. I remember it like, like it was yesterday. And Hiphop said
"yo play that one beat for him." And I played 'Heart of the City.' And
really I made 'Heart of the City,' I really wanted to give that beat to DMX.
"No I think Jay gon' like this one right here".
And I played another beat, and I played another beat. And I remember that
GuccI bucket, he took it and like put it over his face and made one of
them faces like 'OOOOOOOOOOH.' Two days later I'm in Baseline and I seen
Dame. Dame didn't know who I was and I was like "yo what's up I'm Kanye."
"Yo, you that kid, Kanye?"
"You that kid that gave all them beats to Jay?
Yo, this nigga got classics"
"Jay got classics, G."
You know I ain't talkin shit.
I'm like "oh shit." And all this time I'm starstruck, man. I'm
still thinking 'bout, you know I'm picturing these niggaz on the show
The Streets is Watching, I'm lookin, these were superstars in my
eyes. And they still are, you know. So, Jay came in and he spit all
these songs like in one day, and in two days... I gotta bring up one
thing, you know, come back to the story, the day I did the 'Can't be
Life' beat on track, I remember Lenny S, he had some Louis Vuitton
sneakers on, he think he fly. And Hiphop was there, I think Tata, John
Minnelli, a bunch of people. I didn't know all these people at the
time they was in the room, and I said, "yo Jay I could rap." And I
spit this rap that said, uh "I'm killin y'all niggaz on that lyrical
shit. Mayonnaise colored Benz, I push miracle whips." And I saw his
eyes light up when I said that line. But you know the West, the rap
was like real wack and shit, so that's all the response.
He said "man that was tite."
"That, that was cool. That was hot."
That was it. You know, I ain't get no deal then, hehe.
Okay, fast forward.
So, Blueprint, H to the Izzo, my first hit single. And I just
took that proudly, built relationships with people. My relationship
with KwelI I think was one of the best ones to ever happen to my
career as a rapper. Because, you know, of course later he allowed me
to go on tour with him. Man, I appre-- I love him for that. And at
this time, you know I didn't have a deal, I had songs, and I had
relationships with all these A&R;'s, and they wanted beats from me, so
they'd call me up, I'd play them some beats. "Gimme a beat that sound
like Jay-Z." You know, they dick riders. Whatever. So I'll play them
these post-Blueprint beats or whatever and then I'll play my shit. I'll
be like, "yo but I rap too." Hey, I guess they was lookin' at me crazy
'cause you know, 'cause I ain't have a jersey on or whatever
Everybody out there listen here. I played them 'Jesus Walks' and they
didn't sign me. You know what happened, it was some A&R;'s that fucked
with me though, but then like the heads, it'd be somebody at the
company that'll say "naw." Like, Dave LottI fucked with me, my
nigga Mel brought me to a bunch of labels. Jessica Rivera, man
"Man, you niggaz is stupid if y'all don't sign Kanye, for real."
I'm not gonna say nothin to mess my promotion up
"Y'all niggaz is stupid". Let's just say I didn't get my deal.
The nigga that was behind me, I mean,
he wasn't even a nigga, you know?
The person who actually kicked everything off was Joe 3H from Capitol
Records. He wanted to sign me really bad.
"We gonna change the game, buddy."
Dame was like, "yo you got a deal with Capitol,
okay man, just make sure it's not wack."
"you gotta make sure it's not wack."
Then one day I just went ahead and played it, I wanted to
play some songs, 'cause you know Cam was in the room, Young Guru, and
Dame was in the room. So I played... actually it's a song that you'll
never hear, but maybe I might use it. So, it's called 'Wow.'
"I go to Jacob with 25 thou, you go with 25 hundred, wow
I got eleven plaques on my walls right now
You got your first gold single, damn, nigga, wow."
Like the chorus went. Don't bite that chorus, I might still use it. So
I play that song for him, and he's like "oh shit"
"Oh shit it's not even wack."
"I ain't gonna front, it's kinda hot."
"it's actually kinda hot."
Like they still weren't looking at me
like a rapper. And I'm sure Dame figured, 'like man. If he do a whole
album, if his raps is wack at least we can throw Cam on every song and
save the album, you know. So uh Dame took me into the office, and he's
like "yo man, we, we on a brick, we on a brick"
"you don't wanna catch a brick"
You gotta be under an umbrella, you'll get rained on.
I told Hiphop and Hiphop was all, "oh, word?" Actually, even with
that I was still about to take the deal with Capitol 'cause it was
already on the table and 'cause of my relationship with 3H. That, you
know, 'cause I told him I was gonna do it, and I'm a man of my word, I
was gonna roll with what I said I was gonna do. Then, you know, I'm
not gonna name no names, but people told me, "oh he's just a producer
rapper" and told 3H that told the heads of the Capitol, and right--
the day I'm talking about, I planned out everything I was gonna do
man, I had picked out clothes, I already started booking studio
sessions, I started arranging my album, thinking of marketing schemes
man I was ready to go. And they had Mel call me, they said
"yo... Capitol pulled on the deal"
"Yo, Capitol pulled out on the deal."
And, you know I told them that Rocafella was interested
and I don't know if they thought that was just something I was saying
to gas them up to try to push the price up or whatever. I went up... I
Tell them niggaz that be holdin' the wall, fuck y'all!!

Last call for alcohol, make a fast call for the hay
The dirtier dot has informed me, The drought has ended today

We're the la guns holding hennesy for everyone
It was once called a story, ended at my heart
You played me like a riddle, but now I'm out
I'm a new person now and no one can say
In a mansion high the young man stood
Ready to join his companions good
Outside the scent of Magnolia blossoms
Down streets of gold the children were racin'
Just another wandering soul
Adrift among the stars
Just another human heart
Led, led away
He put his shoes on and he laid down
(Led, led away)
Outside the clouds were swiftly gathering
(Don't be led away)
He drained his cup and his stirred the mixture
(Led, led away)
And he closed his eyes as his conscience whispered
(Don't be led away)
Just another wandering soul
Adrift among the stars
Just another human heart
Led, led away
Misgivings unspoken he joined his companions
(Led, led away)
His face covered over in a mansion high
(Don't be led away)
Outside the children gazed in wonder
(Led, led away)
At the quickening sky then slowly disbanded
(Don't be led away)
Thirty-nine wandering souls
Adrift among the stars
Thirty-nine human hearts
Led, led away
His burning skin cooled by angels
Swallowing sorrows excretion
It's all excretion
(Don't be led away)
(Led, led away)
Felled by his hand for the mind of another man
(Don't be led away)
Who makes the decisions
Lends no provisions for mere eternal rides
(Led, led away)
(Don't be led away)
Learning of course every alien force
(Don't be led away)
Even Christ yearns to be to possess the skin
(Led, led away)
And bones of man the blood of man
(Don't be led away)
Who tends the flock who breaks the bread
(Don't be led away)
(Led, led away)
Who makes his own choices, won't listen to voices
(Don't be led away)
Accept no false teachers, false preachers, good deeders
(Don't be led away)
(Led, led away)
With their hands out stretched to be filled with your money
(Don't be led away)
Your flesh, your breath, your imagination
(Don't be led away)
(Led, led away)
Sympathy, empathy
(Don't be led away)
Acknowledge all man as fellow creation
(Don't be led away)
(Led, led away)
But don't follow him
(Don't be led away)
Don't be led away
Don't be led away
(Led, led away)
Don't be led away
(Led, led away)
Don't be led away
Don't be led away
trip the long dusty road care denounce no overload
in as much as what's become a sterile crashed up iceberg tomb
mist on ash on murky shore now begin don't let it show
last call open bar never closing reach beyond
answers even without feeling no fulfilling close the door
cancellation is the feel respectfully to never be
watch the perfect dna switch pretend at last to see
ask direction no correction map the course to end the way
last call a shallow pond slow descending so slow to drown
catch the stall wishful air walk among do seem to care
symbolize simile put in words so simply
on the top of what's become a two-fold generation boomon the surface righteous air deliver on the right to share
Last call
He was sick of it all
Asleep at home
Told you off and goodbye
Well you know one day it'll come to haunt you
That you didn't tell him quite the truth
You're a crisis
You're an icicle
You're a tongueless talker
You don't care what you say
You're a jaywalker and you just, just walk away
And that's all you do
The clap of the fading-out sound of your shoes
Made him wonder who he thought that he knew
Last call
He was sick of it all
The endless stream of reminders
Made him so sick of you sick of you sick of you
Sick of your sound
Sick of you coming around
Trying to crawl under my skin
When I already shed my best defense
It comes out all around that you won
And I think I'm all done
You can switch me off safely
While I'm lying here waiting for sleep to overtake me
Yeah yeah you're still here but just check to make sure
All you aspired to do was endure
You can't ask for more ask for more
Knowing you'll never get that which you ask for
So you cast your shadow everywhere like the man in the moon
You start to drink and just want to continue
It'll all be yesteryear soon
You start to drink and just want to continue
It'll all be yesteryear soon
Church bells and now I'm awake
And I guess it must be some kind of holiday
I can't seem to join in the celebration
But I'll go to the service
And I'll go to pray
And I'll sing the praises of my maker's name
Like I was as good as she made me
And I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
It's a late night in this town
It's time to move on
And our time, it came and went
Find your coat, find your keys
Find the man of your dreams
And how much money he spent
So set down your drink
You've had more than you should
Your last chance has just come and gone
Well she's gone for the door
And she looks all alone
Let me know what she looks like at dawn
Last call, again
Last call, do you know where you're going
Last call, again
There are lovers and fighters
at 2:00 AM
A big girl named Carol,
Well she just left with Jim
And it's hard sometimes
To make up your mind
They're out in the lot
And she's going down on him
So roll your leg over
Take the bow not the stern
And pray before you begin
'Cause this date's not your mate
And it's not where you're going
But more like where they've been
Slip a beer in your coat
Keep your arms to your side
'Cause going home,
That's a pretty good drive
Keep it under the dash
And watch who you pass
For your first DWI
[Instrumental Outro]
[Music: Peterson, Christian]
I recognized your number
It's burned into my brain
Felt my heart beating faster
Every time it rang
Some things never change
That's why I didn't answer
I bet you're in a bar
Listening to a country song
Glass of Johnny Walker Red
With no one to take you home
They're probably closing down
Saying, "No more alcohol"
I bet you're in a bar
'Cause I'm always your last call
I don't need to check that message
I know what it says
"Baby, I still love you"
Don't mean nothing when there's whiskey on your breath
That's the only love I get
So if you're calling
I bet you're in a bar
Listening to a cheatin' song
Glass of Johnny Walker Red
With no one to take you home
They're probably closing down
Saying, "No more alcohol"
I bet you're in bar
'Cause I'm always your last
Call me crazy but
I think maybe
We've had our last call
I bet you're in a bar
It's always the same old song
That Johnny Walker Red
By now it's almost gone
But baby, I won't be there
To catch you when you fall
I bet you're in bar
[Ol' Dirty Bastard]
This recordin is Dirty and it's Stinkin
Funkier than Peppi Le Pew so I was thinkin, about

Yo, let me continue, verse number two

If ya hangin around, ya changed ya mind
It is a bad influence, but yo it's my rhyme
I sit down and I say to myself, "Self

I drop the single for you to get a dose of
As I lay back like a pillow on a sofa
Gettin paid? Yeah right, Willy
Why askin me, G? What? What? What? What? You know me
My mouth is sugar, sweet as a honey bee
Taste like a forty, Stinkin like Old-E
[Master Fool]
Fool in this bitch, where the fuck is the drinks?

That bitch over there with her man tuckin his link
All strip club bitches straight clutchin his mink
Niggaz official, big guns, wavin the pistol
My dogs lookin for the brew now we bitin the gristle
(Stop fuckin with them guns son you playin too much)
Catch a charge drinkin bro', I ain't playin too rough
Fucks! Lay in the cuts and hug the butts
Grab a big five whether you a scrub or not
Robbery, robbery, pop, pop, poppin like a glock
Robbery, robbery, drop, drop, drop it like it's hot
[Chorus x4]
[Outro: Ol' Dirty Bastard]
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo

Stinkin blue Palmaid.
This is the last time
That you'll ever hear me say:
Last call for a better life
In wedding and cheap champagne.
Last call for a friday night
In bathroom stalls and crowded bar.
Last call. Right before your eyes,
We celebrate our separate lives.
Last Call. Where are you friends?
They're speaking secrets in a silent shout:
Everything we build, it falls apart,
And the architect abandons us.
Last call, when i held you tight,
The dj played cuts from The Knife.
Last call, where we used to meet,
Now we look away and we skip a beat.
Circular Breathing will separate these feelings
with heart attack efficiency,
Erase the figure as it falls.
(Support collapses at the center of this opposition.
This infrastructure calls for circular resuscitation)
The wedding starts
The guests appear
The church bells ringing endlessly
Bride and groom are hand in hand
And everything goes as it's planned:
The parents smile,
The priest chokes up,
The organ plays "Amazing Grace"
And underneath the thin white veil
You can hear them say:
"Last call for the matching hearts
Last call for the yellow birds
Last call for the two of us"
And the people sing
[Chorus:]
This is my last call to you
Then I'll give up everything
That we had, that we'd do
And you'll never hear me sing
All these songs about you
So just take this time and think
Just take this time and think
Think about the things that we had
The good times before they went bad
They're not gone just yet
It's all up to you
Think about the dreams in our heads
Layin' awake, holding on in my bed
Why don't you go ahead
And make them come true
I still believe in you
[Chorus]
Think about the plans that we made
Drivin' around while the radio played
They may have gotten delayed
But they're waiting for you
Think about the look in my eyes
Saying I love you the very first time
Focused, not blind
And you said it too
I still believe in you
[Chorus]
Think of everything, think of everything we had
Think of everything, think of everything we haven't had
Like livin' in the Midwest Club
Goin' on our honeymoon in Paris
Makin' out when we're grown up
Listening to the best man speech
From Darren
Think of everything we had
Knowing how it feels to be in love
And kisses that would drive us mad
Going to the Metro
Giving up what we will
Never have again
Will it ever be the the two of us again?
This is my last call to you
Then I'll give up everything
That we had, that we'd do
And you'll never hear me sing
All these songs about you
So just take this time and think
Plans we made but didn't see through
Just take this time and think
Memories, me and you
Just take this time and think
Dreams we had that never came true
Just take this time and think
The look in my eyes lookin' at you
Just take this time and think
Just take this time and think
Yeah!
Oh yeah!
She said, "Meet me when you're all alone." Then she turned and walked away.
You know it's crazy when you're out of love, and you don't know where you've been.
But lately I'm feeling fine; just tell me where or when.
I'm gonna give you everything you want and never see you again.
Nicely! Friendly to me, I couldn't catch my breath.
Gave her a kiss a little late, now I know just what I missed.
So right: Let's go inside and dance the night away.
Yeah, I'm gonna give you everything you want, but you ain't gonna get it for free!.
If you didn't show me, I wouldn't care.
Hey! What's under there?
Last call!
Never turned away!
Last call!
Dance the night away!
She said, "Lately, I'm behind the bar. Don't forget to get a drink."
"I get off at 2, and I'm waiting for you. I'm gonna drive you in the pink!"
"Cadillac! Don't look back. I'm dying over here."
"I've been late tonight, but I'm right on time. And I gotta get out of here!"
If you didn't show me, I wouldn't stare.
Hey! Why don't you share?
Come here!
Last call!
Never turned away.
Last call!
Dance the night away.
Last call!
Have a drink on me.
Last call.
May be wrong, but it feels so right!
Yeah!
Gimme another shot!
It's a late night in this town
It's time to move on
And our time, it came and went
Find your coat, find your keys
Find the man of your dreams
And how much money he spent
So set down your drink
You've had more than you should
Your last chance has just come and gone
Well she's gone for the door
And she looks all alone
Let me know what she looks like at dawn
Last call, again
Last call, do you know where you're going
Last call, again
There are lovers and fighters
at 2:00 AM
A big girl named Carol,
Well she just left with Jim
And it's hard sometimes
To make up your mind
They're out in the lot
And she's going down on him
So roll your leg over
Take the bow not the stern
And pray before you begin
'Cause this date's not your mate
And it's not where you're going
But more like where they've been
Slip a beer in your coat
Keep your arms to your side
'Cause going home,
That's a pretty good drive
Keep it under the dash
And watch who you pass
Hello, grab your bag and let's go. (lets go)
More out of place than anything you know.
Like an opera at a disco. (disco)
When all you wanted was a rock show(rock show)....tonight.
These lights, are they hanging in a distance? (distance)
Did they glimmer for an instant?
When they're shining do you feel alright?
Know love, you were looking good tonight....tonight
This is the last call. ohh ohh oh
Too long to list it.
Please don't you miss it.
(ahhh,ahhh, ahh ahh)
Don't give up and let them hold you down
And when they tell you oh ohh ohh.
We could burn this town.
Scream, waking from a bad dream. (bad dream)
Don't think anything is what it seems.
Can't you figure out what this means? (this means)
Don't sit back and keep your hands clean(hands clean)....today.
We'll say maybe we can find a new way.
Or create another great, cliche.
Storms are coming, why don't we play? (we play)
Instead of sitting, dancing in the rain....today.
This is the last call. ohh ohh oh
Too long to list it.
Please don't you miss it.
(ahhh,ahhh, ahhh, ahhh)
Don't give up and let them hold you down
And when they tell you oh ohh ohh.
We could burn this town.
So long, they tried to tell you that you don't belong.
So, I guess we'll have to prove them wrong. (prove them wrong)
Pretty soon we'll hear them sing a long. (sing along)
Ain't it funny that it's our song?(our song).... So.. long.
This is the last call. ohh ohh oh
Too long to list it.
Please don't you miss it.
(ahhh,ahhh, ahhh, ahhh)
Don't give up and let them hold you down
And when they tell you oh ohh ohh.
We could burn this town.
Early in the afternoon is the only time my mind is clear
To think of you and the love we knew
It's a memory I hold so dear
Now we're apart I've got a broken heart
The tears fall so sincere
I know it's wrong but before too long it's gonna be whiskey and beer
Last Call for alcohol still ringin' in my head
You must've ordered two more double shots from the shape that you're in
There ain't no stoppin' my bar hoppin'
I should've stayed home instead
Last call for alcohol still ringin' in my head
You've got to stop the way you're living
You better change your short life ways
Smokin', drinkin', and lovin'
You're just numberin' your days
Though I just know what I need to do
If I could just turn around today
But her memory catches up with me
And this bar stool's where I'll stay
Last call for alcohol still ringin' in my head
You must've ordered two more double shots from the shape that you're in
There ain't no stoppin' my bar hoppin'
I should've stayed home instead
Last call for alcohol still ringin' in my head
Last call for alcohol still ringin' in my head
You must've ordered two more double shots from the shape that you're in
There ain't no stoppin' my bar hoppin'
I should've stayed home instead
Last call for alcohol still ringin' in my head
Last call for alcohol and last chance to save the day
Last chance to join the party get with us or get away
This ain't no laughing matter this ain't no killing joke
This ain't no mama's place no step outside and have a
smoke
It's been a long time due to come
So here's to you and here's to everyone
Last call for alcohol and last chance to get it right
Last chance come up for air so come on down and join the
fight
This ain't no invitation this ain't no fatal kiss
There's no more isolation turnng back there's only this
Somethin' tells me we're gonna have some fun
So here's to you and here's to everyone
Last call for alcohol and last chance to join the world
In it's ongoing party here we go our flag's unfurled
Can't say i don't believe it i think i saw it too
Somewhere between the sports wall street cartoons and
gossip news
It's been a long long time to come so here's to you
I believe our party's just begun
It was a soft gentle night
In the little town of, of, well, your town
The gentle breeze swept the streets
Creating that pleasant howl that these kind town folks
Have enjoyed for so many, many years
The wind chimes sent their peaceful melodies
Into the ears of the sleepy residents
But the unusual was approaching in the distance
Something evil was heading towards this small town
While the residents slept, something crept
Slithered and crawled its way through the quiet streets
Guided by the moon light
These frightening strangers set up tents and rides
Shows and games, there were savage jesters
And wicked ringmasters
There were horrid freak shows
And sights only the impending doom will witness
They brung with them the carnage
That they had lived with for eternity
The morning is a new day
The people of this town will unwillingly witness
The show of their lives, only rumored to exist
You will be the next to die helplessly
At the Carnival of Carnage
Intro: Bartender and J-Ro
Yo last call, last call, last call for alcohol!
At two, you're through!
{J-Ro} Ay bartendah! Bartender!
{Bart} Yo whassup man?
{J-Ro} Ay man, man let me get a... rummmmm an coke
{Bart} Yo man don't you think you had a little bit too much to drink?
{J-Ro} Ay just let me get one more man
{Bart} Yo man I'm lookin out for you man, it's your life
{J-Ro} Man I'll hop over this motherfucker and get my OWN damn drink
Hey niggy, what time it is...
Verse One: Tash
It's time to roll my sleeves, fuck a few MC's up
Another rough cut, from the crew that won't ease up
The Alkaholik click, AKA the forty downers
Flips rhymes like Calvin flips fries and quarter pounders
I never drink and drive cuz I might spill my drink
I failed the breathalizer so they took me to the clink
Niggaz earlin in the sink cause they can't fade the Cisco
I'm from the old school but I never rocked a disco
Loops from the group that, likes to smack the bitches
Tha Liks is hittin hookers like a gangsta hittin switches
Front, to the back, to the side, to the side
And make you dance with these bitches but, no electric slidin
And I'm about to flip, but first I'm bout to sip
Off the forty ounce of brew that I was savin for the trip
Back to the lab cuz all I do is bang cuts
That's why I hang around my group like a dick hang with nuts
Verse Two: J-Ro
I push one two's when niggaz step on my shoes
Oh you haven't heard the news I've been giving fools blues
Manhandling chumps that step up, just to keep my rep up
I push my fist through your grill
I never became a gangsta, thanks ta, my skill
on the nine inches of steel
You ask me what the K's for, they don't mean nothin
["K's for the way my dee-jay's kuttin" -- Schoolly D, P.S.K.]
Chorus: Tash, group
Last call y'all {call y'all}
Call y'all {call y'all}
{Last call, for alcohol}
Last call y'all {call y'all}
Call y'all {call y'all}
{Last call, for alcohol}
[J-Ro] Yeah... word
[Tash] Alkaholik style nigga
Verse Three: E-Swift
Uh, I be one of dem niggaz known to drink a gang of brewskis
Float like the wind, so all y'all can call me cool breeze
Cooler than my man Morris Day in the winter
The dope rhyme inventor, rockin shows at the center
So pass the mic on the, down low
Now go grab a forty from the liquor sto'
And you don't stop {don't stop} and you don't quit {don't quit}
Unless you're in the studio making wack shit
Chorus
[J-Ro] Yeah... that nigga Squid is in the house
Verse Four: J-Ro
I got a forty-four Mag with the clip (with a clip)
So MC's watch your lip, cause I'm shootin from the hip ahh
I rip like Oprah, in tight jeans do
and splits a needle wrap a pair man because them shits is on the fritz
It's crazy, a few MC's amaze me
With this Alkie style of rock, Mr. Spock couldn't phase me
Rhymin pays me, but I do it anyway
Many say, AY, when it comes to rhymes you got plenty J
I'm so cool I drink forty ounces of freon
You never see me on the stage with a peon
When we on the microphone it's like Jordan all alone
We slam, competition, scram damn
Can we get along? Nope.
Switchblade to the throat to MC's who ain't dope
Call me J-Ro the clepto, cuz I'm stealing to the jaw
Of these half-baked rappers, trying to get raw
Verse Five: Tash
Soul in my strut, muscle in my hustle
It's just a little something for them punks that wanna bust they little
Def Jam Comedy, raps that make me crack up
You better call the one-time and tell em send a backup
Cuz I'm about to act up, I couldn't kick a verse
J-Ro say he Got It Bad, so that mean I got it worse
Check uno dos, crack a forty, make a toast
Let me rip the instrumental and impress the West coast
Chorus
[J-Ro] Uhh... damn it feels like my bones is rattling
Uhh ohhh shit! I'm outta here...
James LaBrie - Lead vocals and choruses

chorus through outro) and harmony vocals
I've heard enough
Let's make it happen
Let's turn it over
Make life a positive
No more excuses
I'm making progress
I'm moving forward
With new promises
There's nothing left but boredom
Nothing left but pain
There's barely time enough to die
It's all been done before
There's nothing left here
There's nothing I can say
I can say...
(Petrucci solo)
Don't think it's me
I have no fear
I feel it working
There's something more here
Let's make it worth it
Still time to react
We've come this far now
To make an impact
(Murphy solo during choruses)
Now wait here - can't you see
I've just spelled out reality
It's no fun
But it's now or never
It's now or never
(Petrucci solo)
(Guillory solo)
(Murphy solo)
Now wait here - can't you see
I've just spelled out reality
It's no fun
But it's now or never
There's nothing left but boredom
Nothing left but pain
There's barely time enough to die
It's all been done before
There's nothing left here
There's nothing I can say
(Murphy solo)
Now wait here - can't you see
I've just spelled reality
It's no fun
But it's now or never
It's now or never
So wait here - can't you see
I've just spelled reality
It's no fun
But it's now or never
It's now or...
Now or never.
(Petrucci solo)
I've seen it, I've lived it, I know it
I'll say this over again
Again - again
I've got it
Last call - are you going down?
I've seen it, I've lived it, I know it
Last call are you going down? Down...
Last call - last call
Last call - are you going down?
Down...
Last call - last call
Last call - are you going down... Down?
I've seen it, I've lived it, I know it
Last call -
Are you going down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down,
down...
Down... Down... Down...? ...'cause I'm not.
(Petrucci solo)
As I'm walking down the street, I found the things that trouble me
Are always easier to define when I have a clearer mind
Always thinking of certain things and all the happiness you'd bring
But now it's over and we need to move on
To move on
To move on
Last call to you, told me everything was through
Last call to you, reminds me what not to do
A new day is on the rise, and I feel to my surprise
That you're a memory of what was and what used to be
Every time I think of you, I'm reminded of what not to do
But you'll always have a place in my heart
In my heart
In my heart
Last call to you, told me everything was through
Last call to you, reminds me what not to do
Too many promises were void, and we both got so annoyed
Out of all the things that were once said
The one thing that sticks in my head
In my head
In my head
Last call to you, told me everything was through
Last call to you, reminds me what not to do
Last call
Last call
Gotta move
Better get your gear
New sounds
New grounds
New rounds to be taken
So let hardcore rule
Join the crew of rambling bruisers
Gross freestyle in smashing grooves
Aw, right
Long shot lover was a real bun buster
Talkin' lethal fantasy
'Cause the next best thing was nothin' much
And the next best thing was me
Well, workin' on approval
So I got her on the rocks and I put her on the tip of my tongue
I said, "Don't get smart with an angel, babe
You ain't the girl next door an' we ain't done"
Wow, it's simple fantasy
Last call an' I don't need no drink
This is last call, could be later than you think, wicked
Last call, before they hit the lights
This is last call but that don't mean goodnight
I'm a real good loser 'cause I get a lot of practice
With the breaks, when I'm beatin' my boys
"Now what's the only thing to do in this town?"
An' she gives me a multiple choice
It's like Peter Pan an' Tinkerbell
Poised on the perverbial brink
I asked her, "How the hell you get in those tight blue jeans?"
She said, "For starters you could buy me a drink"
Gotta stoop to conquer me
Last call an' I don't need no drink
This is last call, could be later than you think
Last call, wow, before they hit the lights
Last call but that don't mean goodnight
I'm a real good loser 'cause I get a lot of practice
With the breaks, when they're beatin' the boys
So I asked her, "What's the only thing to do in this town?"
An' she gives me a multiple choice
It's like Peter Pan an' Tinkerbell
Poised on the perverbial brink
I said, "How the hell you get in those tight blue jeans?"
She said, "For starters you could buy me a drink"
It was, last call an' I don't need no drink
Last call, could be later than you think
Last call, wow, before they hit the lights
This is, last call but that don't mean goodnight
Last call
Last call
Last call
Last call
Last call
Last call
[Instrumental]
He sits and stares, waiting for thunder
After awhile, I started to wonder
How he got so hollowed out
I didn't even recognize him yesterday
The clock ticks like a small drop of water
The clouds roll in the sun starts to fade away
As the rain comes down he begins to pray
Now it's the dealer's turn to fold
Cause the charade is getting old
You can sit and wait for lightning to strike
But the wind will takes its toll
He lifts his head, gets up in a daze
Out of the fog and into a maze
That's the way it starts everyday
So it seems the well's running dry
All he does is look up to the sky and beg
Laughing as they hand him a dead bouquet
That's all
Let me know when this all sinks in
Last call, last call
Let’s just stop the pretending
I know you’ve been drinking
I know you’ve been out – it’s 3 AM
No you can’t come over
We’ve done this before
And you swore that was the last time
You keep making promises and
I keep hanging on
So it’s down to the last call
Down to goodbye
Down to the wire
Down to my last cry
It’s down to the last call
It’s up to me now
I’m hanging up this phone
I’d rather be alone
This is the last call
Here you go with the tears now
You tell me you’re sorry
I think you’re sorry for yourself
Stop yelling and screaming
It’s lost all its meaning
Go call someone else
‘Cause you can’t talk to me that way
I’m not that kind of girl
So it’s down to the last call
Down to goodbye
Down to the wire
Down to my last cry
It’s down to the last call
It’s up to me now
I’m hanging up this phone
I’d rather be alone
This is the last call
This is goodbye
This is goodbye
So it’s down to the last call
Down to goodbye
Down to the wire
Down to my last cry
It’s down to the last call
It’s up to me now
I’m hanging up this phone
I’d rather be alone
This is the last call
This is the last call
This is goodbye…
The devil on my right
Says live your life
The angel in the night
Already stinks of formaldahyde
A twisted sense of anarchy
An overdose of apathy
Are gonna take you down
This time
Last call for rebellion
Gonna claim what's mine
Last call for rebellion
Last call for rebellion
Running out of time
The world that made sense to me
Changed so violently
And I'm gonna burn it down
Burn it down this time
Out of time
She dances around with a drink in hand,
He walks around with a smoke in hand.
She dances around to find the right man,
He walks around to find a one night stand.
Roses are red, violets are blue,
I'll save this last dance just to be with you.
Roses are red, violets are blue,
I'll save this last dance just to be with you.
I am the man she's looking for,
I am her man tonight.
It's 2 a.m. and it's time to go,
Let me guess you need a ride home.
It's 2:01 and it's time to go,
Hop in my car and let's hit the road to play.
We're finally here
Your room is upstairs
It's just a one night stand
Who really cares?
We're finally here
Your room is upstairs
She leads the way
It's time to play
Gimme some of that sugar (Baby!)
I feel so good,
I feel so bad.
I feel so right,
I feel so wrong.
(Repeat)
Good morning, what's her face?
We ended a night (We can't replace)
[4x]
Gimme some of that sugar (Baby!)
I'm on a guilt trip high and I'm not coming down for anybody else
She's love sick, he's full of shit
I'm stuck thinking about what I'm gonna drink
So here's your slow song cause I know you've been waiting
Just like a last call with the guy that your hanging on
I don't wanna know who's taking in you home
Or where your sleeping after last call
I'm on a bloodlust high and I'm not laying down for anybody else
She's love drunk, while he's sobered up
I'm stuck thinking about who I've come to be
So here's your slow song cause I know you've been waiting
Just like a last call with the guy that your hanging on
I don't wanna know who's taking in you home
Or where your sleeping
So here's your last stand and you get what you given
This is my last call to all that you thinking
I don't wanna know who's taking in you home
Or where your sleeping after last call
Well I never wanted to see that I can't trust you
And I never want to agree to how your living
How can I believe a thing you say when your lying with him
How can I believe a thing you say when your calling me
So here's your slow song cause I know you've been waiting
Just like a last call with the guy that your hanging on
I don't wanna know who's taking in you home
Or where your sleeping after last call
After last call after last call
I don't wanna know who's taking in you home
Or where your sleeping
So here's your last stand and you get what you given
This is my last call to all that you thinking
I don't wanna know who's taking in you home
Or where your sleeping after last call
Intro: You don't know me
You don't know me now, Woy
You don't show me
You do know me now, Woy
We're gonna spit 'em in your poker face
First you count your cards
Now got to count your days
We come in with the massive massive
Cause your bulldozers are penetrating skin
You don't know us, Woy
Couplet: Cry, cry, cry now for forgiveness
Don't don't make us relive this
Cry you got to cry now for forgiveness
Don't don't make us relive this
You got to hold your hand next to your ear
For what you're about to hear
Say it again say!
Hold your hand next to your ear
For what you're about to hear
Refrein: Last call for alcohol.
Last call for liquor.
Last call for bull and jive.
Last call for live.
Couplet: Sound so courageous
Sounding so contagious singing, Woy
Sounds courageous
Sounding so contagious singing, Woy
We're gonna spit 'em in your poker face
First you count your cards
Now you've got to count your days
We come in with the massive massive
Cause your bulldozers are penetrating skin
You don't know us, Woy
They think they reach the ultimate yeah
But them no reach nowhere yet oi
Them get caught inna internet
A society a tell them they are intellect
The promo to much that yo
Don't expect what you've been expecting.
Don't look for love here, no love to be found.
Gruesome on the upstroke, painful going down.
It's gonna be a dark, dark night.
Yours are the figures that we've been projecting.
Your figure, his figure, sprawled out on the ground.
I go to watch the sex before it happens.
It's gonna be a dark, dark night.
Get a couple in you.
Really knock them dead tonight.
It's a game of give and take.
Give and take good head tonight.
Never see the faces. It's far too dark for that.
This game is old.
Really knock them dead tonight.
Here in the nightclub the heathens convene,
Under the pretense of swimming upstream.
We're so predictable and yet we don't seem to notice.
Slicked back and primped up, we apply our self-esteem.
Dabbing, not smudging, build ourselves into a dream.
The order of intake is a delicate thing.
It's gonna be a dark, dark night.
It's a waste of time.
Buying drinks.
Sipping drinks.
Spilling drinks.
Buy another drink.
Small talk.
Tall tales.
Feeling up.
Falling down.
Taking you home.
Unzipping.
Swivel-hipping.
Sweat dripping.
Casting shadows.
Tumble, straddle.
Drugged by strobe and unsung battles.
Buying drinks.
Sipping drinks.
Spilling drinks.
Taking you home.
Hey,Roxanne.
I'm on a roll.
Last call
Bar hopping
We’ve gotten so far?
Bizarre? - the boys
‘We’re not stopping’
So close to the edge
We go underground
ooohooohoooooooh
Go go dance her
You do whatever you like
Dance her
I just want your love
It won’t stop here
The decisions made
The only way out..
Is in
This is your medicine ha ha
Who sa bouche est bien rouge
If you go
I’ll end up coming along
Go go dance her
You do whatever you like
Dance her
I just want your love
Go go dance her
You want whatever you know
Dance her
I just want your love...
Moi, i’m not some rockerchick
J’ai les pieds sur terre
I can understand
Who you want to be
But..
This is forever
Closing time and there you are
Beat in turns. I'm off.
I couldn't run, count blows while I'm down
I couldn't run.
I felt your touch
Been missing for weeks now
Somethings that are so very hard to grasp
And you are gone
Your voice died in silence
Somethings that are so very hard to
Closing time, I'll leave for you
Screams that reached the shore
I couldn't run, count blows while I'm down
I couldn't run.
I felt your touch
Been missing for weeks now
Somethings that are so very hard to grasp
And you are gone
Your voice died in silence
Somethings that are so very hard to
If I could change you know I would
Reaching back through time
I'd risk it all
I'd save you somehow
Like you saved me
I felt your touch
Been missing for years now
Somethings that are so very hard to grasp
And you are gone
Your voice died in silence
Dilba
Darling, don't be afraid of
darkness
Leave your fear with me
Don't be convinced by words
from the loveless
Don't listen to what they say
Turn around, your pain
is happiness disguised
in different colors
Bring joy when skies are gray
and you'll find love is in
everything
Hold on don't hesitate
please don't worry
Grab your partner before you go
Swing 'em around to and fro
Teach em how to doe-si-doe
Last chance for a dance
Grab your partner while you can
Every woman, every man
Show them all that you still can
Last chance for a dance
Last chance for a dance
Last chance for a dance
Last chance for a dance
Last call for alcohol
Now's the time to take the plunge
Andy's doing it on the drums
Quick before they call the nuns
Last chance for a dance
Bobby does it on the bass
Staring out there into space
We all know he's off his face
Last chance for a dance
Last chance for a dance
Last chance for a dance
Last chance for a dance
Last call for alcohol
Tommy does it on the ol' banjo
Fiddler does it with his bow
If you squeeze you'll let him know
Last chance for a dance
Go on give that box a squeeze
Play that thing between your knees
Oh that boy he's such a tease
Last chance for a dance
Last chance for a dance
Last chance for a dance
Last chance for a dance
Last call for alcohol
This neighborhood has crashed andburned, I brought death to them all
through a home-made hurricane
Armed with scissors, fire and booze,
I wiped this goth town clean, and left
a pool of mascara and blood
Little miss evil, didn't someone tell
you life is more than just bats and
graveyards, you dream of Marilyn,
but just like Cave In said,
'the reality check is in the mail'
Last call, first wave, they should have
told you, they should have called you,
everything is up for sale now
Reality is a bitter pill you swallow to
grow up, I guess by now
you should have known
you've all been fucked
These so-called freaks are signing
multi-million dollar deals, bats and
graveyards are obviously up for sale
So never mind the fact that you are
haunted 'cause all of you ghosts have
sneaker brands and cribs in the hill
I guess your checks have bounced,
still you sing along,
There's no way out of here
This void of nothingness
I have lost all that I thought I had
Growing nowhere fast
Last Call
Waiting like an animal
With scars wide open
A life full of twisted ambitions
Has come to its end
Last call
Growing nowhere fast
[All]
Last call for alcohol
The club is almost closed
(That's right)
So I need your name and your number
(Yo, yo)
Before the night is through
[Tash]
Y'all wanna talk about drinking?
I took a drink, took a swallow
Left the champagne bottle hollow
Passed my keys to Lil' Talo
Can't crash the El Dorado
You know how it go
When you sipping on Mo'
You be tore up from the floor up
And you don't even know
[Xzibit]
I had the bartender set up three shots
I knocked 'em back
Nitrate over the track
The whole crowd reacted
From right here through the ??
Baby relax you're rolling with me
It's Mister A through X to the Z
[SFP]
Going out with my friends
To celebrate the weekend
I hope the club is jumping
So I can find a little something
Wanna get my drink on
Wanna get my freak on
I'm gonna try to come on

Tequila shots and brew

Cause I didn't drive
[Tash (Xzibit)]
It's last call y'all so all y'all
It's time to pull your money out
Come through, post up
Peepin' all the honeys out
Smoke fest, Guinness out
Got your homies passing out
(Party down baby)
You know what X and Ca-Tash about
[Xzibit]
Yo I stay with it
While you perpetrate and try to play with it
Something people with the all chrome
Custom fitted whatever you want
From the car straight to the bar
We're the LA guns holding Hennesy for everyone
Come pick me up
Cause Ive had it up to here
But thats not enough
A little more cant hurt so fill it up
Then grab yourself a beer and lift it up.
Heres to better days that lie ahead of us.
They may come soon
I feel it coming like a cold went down my neck
Our times are right
So here we are
Cause weve been drinking, singing right here at the bar
And here we are
At first to change
Just hear me out
Lets drive out past the lights outside of town
Were only here so long so let it out
The whole world seems to shake when its coming down
But tomorrow you know right where Ill be found
We never change
At least when rearing when the nights are all the same
I feel it coming like a cold went down my neck
Our times are right
So here we are
Cause weve been drinking, singing right here at the bar
And here we are
At first to change
Come pick me up
Cause Ive had it up to here but thats not enough
A little more cant hurt so fill it up
Then grab yourself a beer and lift it up
Heres to putting off our date with destiny
I feel it coming like a cold went down my neck
Our times are right
So here we are
Cause weve been drinking, singing right here at the bar
And here we are
At first to change
It's so hard to face
Unwiling end between just you and me
I'd rather avoid this pain
But I took the risk
You never ever wanted me to leave
I stayed awake inside this darkness
Take my word as if I'm here
Burn me down, just burn me down
I'll take your word as if you're here
Burn me down, just burn me down
And that was your last call
Code 76
Delete my number from your memory stick
Don't even leave a trace
It's so sad to say
We're never ever gonna meet again
I stayed awake inside this darkness
You keep asking
You keep blaming
You keep begging "Please forgive me"
You keep crying
You keep shaking
You keep saying still you love me
I catch a bob kitchen
i fly a dan garage
i swim a george asylum
now pete's in charge
gotta bulb with a ladder
hang a pete balloon
i miss you so much, baby
hope you come back home real soon
real soon

time gentlemen please
It's not your life
Just let me be
I'm living life from day to day
So give it up
Let it go
Gonna do it
Don't care what you know
Addiction takes over
Lost all control
Can't stop fighting
So cold
I can see that no one
No one can help me now
Let me go
Let me go
No control
Let me go
Going under
Six feet under
I don't wanna die
[Solo]
Let me go
Let me go
No control
Can we move on or are we victims of the past
What a sacrifice - who will pay the price?
Racism flourished and it's stronger than before
People are fighting in another local war
Your time is short and you must decide
The path of action either live or die
The hate must stop and the war must cease
To make this world a place to live we must have peace
What a sacrifice - who will pay the price?
Think before you act...
Before it's too late..
Would you notice me?
White t-shirt and jeans
Ain't no suit n tie
Does my blue collar shine?
That day on 7th street
When you bumped into me
Did you mean that line?
Give me a call sometime
I dial your number just to hang up the phone
Surprise, surprise there ain't nobody home
I guess I'm hanging on a moment
What if you could take a change on me?
What if you could see all I could be?
Then for once and all
Honey I could be your last call
What if you could take a change on me?
What if you could just make me believe?
Then for once, and for all
Honey I could be your last call
Now as people pass by
I tend to look twice
Is it your face that I see?
Or my mind just tricking' me
As I rewind in my mind
A brief moment in time
Guess you really got me
Cuz now I'm back on 7th street
I dial your number just to hang up the phone
Surprise, surprise, there ain't nobody there
I guess I'm hanging on a moment
[Chorus]
I'm hanging on a moment
Well am I ever gonna let that moment go?
Or am I always gonna hold a little hope?
I guess we'll never ever really get to know
I guess that's how this story's gonna have to go
Ooooh wo oh wo oh, how it goes
[Chorus]
When I wake up every morning
I'm still hanging on a moment
This thing called love
That's what it's all about
I cannot sleep today
It's not an easy way
Don't cry for me
Many things I could'nt be
And all the pain
Runs throught my veins
Coz tonight
I want to fly
But you leave me
Way behing
My thoughts are dry
I'm out of time
Only feelings still alive
I choose my fate
Coz I've lost all taste
Stand on a waterfall
There's nothing to hold on
Chorus
Would you take my hand?
Is there a God who can
Save my live?
Tears in the sky
Falling down on me
And so weve had another night
of poetry and poses,
and each man knows hell be alone
when the sacred ginmill closes.
And so well drink the final glass
each to his joy and sorrow
and hope the numbing drink will last
til opening tomorrow.
And when we stumble back again
like paralytic dancers
each knows the question he must ask
and each man knows the answer.
And so well drink the final drink
that cuts the brain in sections
where answers do not signify
and there arent any questions.
I broke my heart the other day.
It will mend again tomorrow.
If Id been drunk when I was born
Id be ignorant of sorrow.
And so well drink the final toast
that never can be spoken:
Heres to the heart that is wise enough

You don't gotta go home, but get the f*ck outta here
While the night is young
The moon is high
The sweat of summer
Down your spine
The night is young
The drinks are strong
The music's LOUDDD...
Round, round
Through the crowd
Bass turned up
Like a lost and found
Move in close when the lights get low
Find someone to take you home
[Chorus]
While the night is young
The sweetest taste is just a sip away
While you wait for love
Like the perfect drug just slip it under your tongue
The last call is hours away
And the rythmn of the dancefloor is calling your name
Last call is the times I'm not lonely at night
While the night is young...
Pour another round
Kill the doubt
Move in while
Your mind's made up
Feel the rush
Feel the touch
Feel your pulse start racing...
[Chorus]
Round, round
Through the crowd
Bass turned up
Like a lost and found
Move in close when the lights get low
Find someone and don't leave alone
Don't leave alone...
Don't leave alone...
When the lights get low
Find someone to take you home
[Chorus]
Oh, Oh, Oh,...
While you wait for love
Oh, Oh, Oh,... [Don't-Don't leave alone]
The last call is hours away
And the rythmn of the dancefloor is calling your name
Last call is the times I'm not lonely at night
I'm a portrait on your wall
A stinging realization of
All the things I'll never change and
How I never wanted you
To take me down and label me
And throw me in a closet so
You'll never see
(You'll never hear me sing)
And I'll still sing
Into these walls
Hoping that these lyrics find you
Looking through keyholes
And I'll still sing
Through these walls
Hoping that these lyrics find you
Looking through keyholes
Another freezing night inside this bar
Never got me very far
Like I'm running from the truth
Like I always do
Now I'm digging through this room
Desperately searching to find you
Is this something that you want me to do
And I'll still sing
Through these walls
Hoping that these lyrics find you
I'm not a tree
Some redwood in a park
Someone who takes roots
Inside a big backyard
If home is where the heart is
Then mine no longer beats
To my inconsistencies
And ultimate defeat
Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
This place wasn't built for me
Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
Stay on the outside
Now I'm suffocating
In this world we created
I hope that you notice
I won't be coming back around
Another day spent on the floor
And endless facade that I'll have to ignore
The things that I need they all fall apart
We live our real lives and we want
We want nothing more
Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
Maybe out here is more free
Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
Stay on the outside
This place wasn't built for me
Now you know so you can see
Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
This place wasn't built for me
Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
Stay on the outside
So stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
Maybe out here is more free
Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
Every day you do the best you can
To live the life of an honest man
To show them that it means that much to you
Like our band
You can't understand
They will get mad, he will disagree
She will walk off without me
And I still can't relate to anything
And everything I ever do
Will get written down and screamed back at you
Like if I write it down (if I write it down)
It's gonna make it true
Everything I ever do
Will get written down and screamed back at you
Like if I write it down (if I write it down)
It's gonna make it true
If everything you say is right
Then why am I not listening to anything, anything you say
And if my life is an open book
Written down by anyone who took
A little more of my self respect
Last chapter, my self respect
And everything I ever do
Will get written down and screamed back at you
Like if I write it down (if I write it down)
It's gonna make it true
Everything I ever do
Will get written down and screamed back at you
Like if I write it down (if I write it down)
It's gonna make it true
I'm no good with metaphors, but I will be soon
I'm no good with metaphors, but I will be soon
And now I'm swimming with uncertainty
I'm doing just the best I can
All I have is the best I can
And everything I ever do
Will get written down and screamed back at you
Like if I write it down (if I write it down)
It's gonna make it true
Well if I write it down
It's gonna make it
If I write it down
It doesn't have to make it
I’ve been confused since I was born.
Another year stuck at twenty-four.
And it’s easy to see that I’m simply lost
in all the things that I used to mourn.
I could write you another song
about how life has let me down,
or how I’ll never escape
from this dusty one-horse town.
It all might be an act.
Another thing to make myself react.
It seems so obvious now.
Man, I’m such a joke.
I’ve been confused since I was born.
Another year stuck at twenty-four.
And it’s easy to see that I’m simply lost
in all the things that I used to mourn.
This all sounds so negative.
Another thing I do to drown myself in it.
I hope you understand…
I didn’t mean to turn out this way.
I’ve been confused since I was born.
Another year stuck at twenty-four.
And it’s easy to see that I’m simply lost
in all the things that I used to mourn.
I hope you understand,
I didn’t mean to turn out this way.
I’ve been confused since I was born.
I’m gonna move on from twenty-four.
And it’s easy to see that I’m not really lost
There's something in these waters
I don't think I feel it yet
But I've found an easy way to stand it
Drugs and cigarettes
Brother, my dear brother
Did you get my last call?
Ordinary grief
Extraordinary thief
I'm walking amongst strangers
And I've lost all self control
Have you got my number?
Call me when you're done
Listen to the silence of this poisoned Sunday night
I am made of silver
You are made of gold
Brother, my dear brother
Did you lose your self control?
Call me when it's over
Call me when you're done
Sometimes I am sure I hear you
Sometimes I am not
The sun is slowly dying up there,
Walking through the streets with empty pockets and a cough to go along
With a blurred point of view
I’m passing churches on my left
Along my path I find every inch of this sidewalk inconveniently dead on
As my steps repeat again and again
So I make my way back home, have no need for a stereo
I’ll just listen to a full moon tapping along with my shoes
Every time I look up I see the same old light posts
They cover me whole and I’m on top of my own world
Will I be just like you when half the coast wakes up?
This light is not all right but it keeps me safe
I’m spending all my money on cheap alcohol to forget that night
Some day I will get over it and I know I will be all right
These same old songs keep playing on
I hear that sad song playing on the radio
I think it was summer of '69
It makes me think back on my life
My boyhood hopes and dreams
Of just living on my six string
Sometimes there's an angel on my back
Pushing me forward so I don't fall
Apart my youthful days are over now
And these memories are tearing me
Please ease this pain
The alcohol stopped working
It's gotta be better than this
They've been gone for days
The stitches that hold me together
I can't wait forever
Sometimes there's an angel on my back
Pushing me forward so I don't fall
Apart my youthful days are over now
And these memories are tearing me
The lights are getting dim
The bar is getting empty
Don't want to wait forever
The lights are getting dim
The bar is getting empty
Don't want to wait forever
Sometimes there's an angel on my back
Pushing me forward so I don't fall
Apart my youthful days are over now
And these memories are tearing me
Tried of trying
(Take me)
Tired of trying
(Take me)
So tried of trying
Last Call
My final hour's getting near
The time is getting close I fear
Footsteps at my door I hear
Time to pay for life so dear
I want to flee but it's too late
My soul is in the grip of fate
Close my eyes and one last breath
Feel the cold, cold hands of death
Slowly now I drift away
Into an eerie time and space
I cry out, it does no good
In this lonely strange new place
Blackness closes all around
No longer can I see or feel
The last thoughts slowly echo out
We have a small apartment above an off-track betting
club. It’s filled with angry losers and ripped up ticket
stubs. The men all sit in plastic chairs or lean against
the walls wondering if they’ll make it to the bar before
last call. They wander home at three a.m. to fall into
their beds and think about the lives they’ve lost,
somewhere inside their heads. It’s late and you’re not
here. Somewhere in between the lines you’ve disappeared.
Now there’s nothing left of you-- a tired ghost in
hospital perfume. The sky's screaming in the dark,
setting off the car alarms. So, take it as a warning sign
or maybe just for piece of mind: When you’re scratching
at your scars, I’ll remember who you are. Now, the cigar
smoke of an ugly man slowly ascends the stairs and it
seeps into my pillowcase, and it settles in my hair. I
wake up feeling nauseous because I know you are gone for
good. I wish there were some way to tell you that I would
help you if I could. But I’m not the one with the golden
claw. I’m just another circus. I live above a furnace.
You’re holding on to something worthless. Now we’re out
The sun goes down
And that's the time when it hurts so bad
I feel the weight of the love we had
I can't move on
Without you and I've lost myself
You're like a habit that I can't help
No I can't hide
From this feeling
Don't you know
I would wait for you
I would wait all night
Just the thought of you before I close my eyes
Its too late I can't take anymore
And I can't let go
And I can't forget
All that I'm left holding is my regret
And it feels like we could have had it all
You're still my last call
We don't change
We still talk every single day
Even though there's nothing much left to say
Ooo and I have tried
All that I can but I can't break free
There's no denying you're a part of me that I can't throw away
Oh...
I would wait for you
I would wait all night
Just the thought of you before I close my eyes
Its too late I can't take anymore
And I can't let go
And I can't forget
All that I'm left holding is my regret
And it feels like we could have had it all
You're still my last call
You're still my last call
The last thing I do
The last thing I say
The last thing I do
The last thing I do
The last thing I say
The last thing I do
Is hear your voice
Say I love you
I would wait for you
I would wait all night
Just the thought of you before I close my eyes
Its too late I can't take anymore (anymore)
And I can't let go
And I can't forget
All that I'm left holding is my regret
And it feels like we could have had it all
You're still my last call
A lot of shit has gone down tonight
Saw some riot police saw a robbery
We had a chance to catch the thieves
Gonna keep my mouth shut
They gave us two grand to close our eyes
So we hopped a few bars
Partied like rock stars
We even found a girls keys
I roll in the night pass a krip for me to light
This next round of crown is on me
No don't you worry now your gone in blurry
Don't you let me sit here alone
Cause we got a bunch of money yea
Don't want to spend it on my own
So let me buy you one more drink
What do you say what do you say(x2)
A while im really buzzin now
Gonna get up on the floor
With this pussy galore
I got to find a girl who's just a whore
Gonna come to me tonight
Woah I hope she screams loud
So make an arrest
She's got a big chest
She's over there by the door
Just like a cop on a routine stop
Let your lights and let your sirens roar
So unbelievable now the achievable
Don't you let me sit here alone
Cause we got a bunch of money yea
I think we're gonna score
So let me buy you one more drink
What do you say what do you say(x2)
Live it up live it up my friend yea(x4)
I hope we don't get into a fight
Were bein way to loud there telling us to calm down
Were bugging everyone around
Awoawoawoawoawoa yea we don't care
So rack one more up were not drunk enough
We aint gonna leave till we eve
The nights gonna end last calls at 2 am
And the bartender wants us to leave
So are you with me let's get shitty
Don't you let me sit here alone
Cause we got a bunch of money yea
Don't want to spend it on my own
So let my buy you one more drink
What do you say what do you say
Don't let me buy you one more drink
What do you say what do you say
It's like a badge of honor when you say you don't like me at all.
It's simple and it's obvious we don't want you around anymore.
Stay on your side of the fence
So we never have to interact or see each other's faces again.
Now we walk this town,
Hood's up and our hopes down.
You've never felt right where you are,
And that's not even the worst part.
You'll never get out.
This may come as a surprise, but it's what I have to do.
No one knew that you still had some fight left in you.
You'll be sitting all alone in a bar we've never heard of
As the lights ignite over your head on Fremont.
You'll spark fires on the bridge you're crossing
And watch as shadows come to greet you.
You can't bring yourself to go back home
'Cause there's no one there to wait around for you anymore.
It's a place you'll never get back to.
This may come as a surprise, but it's what I have to do.
No one knew that you still had some fight left in you.
I swear to God that I'll be okay without you.
