Just go to sleep
Talk is cheap
The price is steep
For the secrets we don't keep
Anchors away
I promised I'd stay
Against my every instinct
I'm in the black till the day sinks
I won't go down, down
To that dirty part of town, town
I just want to stay clean, clean
You don't know what I need, need
You don't want to know
Double six
Double six, double six
The jig is up the fight was fixed
I'm on my way, I'm in the sticks
I won't go down, down
To that dirty part of town, town
I just want to stay clean, clean
You don't know what I need, need
You don't want to know
Trust me
You can't trust me
You don't want to trust me
'Cause you can't trust me
No, no
Meet me by the river
I'm sorry Mary Jane
I thought that things could be different
What else can I say?
But I recall watching you
Walk down the aisle
And I recall the way the flower girls
Made your mother smile

I'm riding on a train, well you know
Cute girl in an English hat
Why'd it have to rain like that?
And in pulling off her scarf I let go
It floated like a wounded bird
Her mouth the shape of Spanish words
Well you know I think I can
Vanish with the evening rust
Join the ghost that haunted us
Well you know I think I am
Heroic in a failing way
For some of us it goes that way
And in another place while I slept
Nothing gave and nothing changed
Every day was more the same
Once upon that hill we came to
We stretched and leaned and threw some chairs
The moonlight in your dark black hair
Well you know I think I can
Vanish with the evening rust
Join the ghost that haunted us
Well you know I think I am
Heroic in a failing way
For some of us it goes that way
Dulce et decorum est, my dear
It's sweet it's right, there's nothing for you here here
When someone lets you down you free fall
To that bigger hand around your wrist
You'll swear you never wanted this
Well you know I think I can
Vanish with the evening rust
Join the ghost that haunted us
Well you know I think I am
Heroic in a failing way
For some of us it goes that way
Dulce et decorum est, my dear
It's sweet it's right, there's nothing for you here here
Now I'm pouring something cold down my throat
And I'm thinking about you and me
Once we had a drink or two or three
But those cold and autumn stars refused
We were swimming in that frozen lake

The world is still small
The world is still small
The world is still small
The world is still small
I only want to be the man you want
I only want to be the man you want
It's going to unfold
It's going to fall wide
Like the dark does the day
Like a dream does your eyes
Still I want to be the man you want
I only want to be the man you want
Don't say it, don't say it
Your thoughts are loud, your worry heard
The sun, the sea, the stars
The air between to where you are
You should land, my hummingbird
Swimming pool blue
The sky was swimming pool blue
You were on the steep side
I was swimming towards you
Saying, "Hey, I want to be the man you want"
I only want to be the man you want
The ring that you twist, the song you hum
I only want to be the man you want
Don't say it, don't say it
Your thoughts are loud, your worry heard
You'll wave goodbye beside
The things you think will get you by
When you should land, my hummingbird

I know your shape by heart, I hear your voice on the phone
Lately I'm just so lost and slow in this retirement home
Listen, we only do our best, we all make mistakes
Sometimes the weather can fall on you and sometimes it breaks
Step by step now, day by day, from where you been
The hits come on still, one by one, maybe we'll never win
But we're closing in, we're closing in, we're closing in
You put your hand in mine as the plane took off
You said, "You don't know how lucky you are", now I know I was
Maybe I'll go for a walk, maybe I'll go to hell
Maybe it's just that we're the only ones that save us from ourselves
Step by step now, day by day, from where you been
The hits come on still, one by one, maybe we'll never win
But we're closing in, we're closing in, we're closing in
Don't be afraid to fall through deep space
Don't be afraid to disappear without a trace
Step by step now, day by day, here we go again
The hits come on still, one by one, maybe we'll never win

Where you come from
You learn to disappear
To cover up your fear
With punk rock and stuff
When you were a kid
You listened to The Clash
You learned to never ask
Where your daddy was
Once more around the old main drag
They never said it but they thought you were a fag
Some people push till a kid goes boom
Late at night it got dark in your room
Ah your love in a car
You promised her everything
Not knowing what everything
Really was
She's the first girl you kissed
She's the first girl you miss
When you're feeling like this
Broke and in the dark
Her blonde hair was a setting sun
Her mascara was born to run
You got scared when she started to show
One more thing you'd have to let go
It could've been worse
It could've been worse
It could've been worse
It could've been worse
So you stood on that bridge
Overlooking old crappy town
Snow was falling slowly all around
You smoked a quick cigarette
But I'll never believe
That you jumped and just ended there
The note you left read, "Look everywhere"
"You'll never bury me"
A stereo and a pile of cassettes
That dirty mirror where you used to get dressed
There you stood getting tight with your scars
Some broken chords on cheap guitar
It could've been worse
It could've been worse
It could've been worse
It could've been worse
It could've been worse
It could've been worse
It could've been worse

There's a murder in the clover
One move and it was over
That monkey's one ego
On four, now here we go
I will carve you from my life
I couldn't care less, it feels all right
I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close
I'm killing the ghost
Sleeping like a machine gun
Your bedroom was no fun
Falling down hard on my head was shooting black stars
Never knew who you were, now I know what you are
I will carve you from my life
I couldn't care less, it feels all right
I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close
I'm killing the ghost
I will carve you from my life
I couldn't care less, it feels all right
I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close
We're killing the ghost
I will carve you from my life
I couldn't care less, it feels all right
I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close
I'm killing the ghost
I will carve you from my life
I couldn't care less, it feels all right
I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close
I'm killing the ghost
I will carve you from my life
I couldn't care less, it feels all right
I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close
I'm killing the ghost
I will carve you from my life
I couldn't care less, it feels all right

John's in the bathroom scared to death
Once he went under he couldn't catch his breath
On top of a trash can looking for an escape
He looked past the window up towards the milky way
How did you get so drunk and disappointed?
Ain't nothing here to pull you through
How did you get so drunk and disappointed?
The worst you'd fear is coming true, it's coming true
He parked his Lincoln underneath the trees
About a quarter to nine he walked inside the Applebee's
And nothing was moving not even the sky
Johnny wanted a lot of things but Johnny didn't want to die
How did you get so drunk and disappointed?
Ain't nothing here to pull you through
How did you get so drunk and disappointed?
The worst you'd fear is coming true, it's coming true, it's coming true
And on the programmed speakers above
Cher was singing, "Do you believe in life after love?"
So he slid from the window out onto the stars
And for a moment he floated above the trash cans and cars
How did you get so drunk and disappointed?
Ain't nothing here to pull you through
How did you get so drunk and disappointed?
The worst you'd fear is coming true, it's coming true, it's coming true, it's coming true, it's coming true
All I want, all I want
All I want, all I want
All I want, all I want
All I want, all I want

She always dreamt of moving station
a new position on the floor
he wanted everything and nothing now
she wanted everything and more

he said she had one of those faces
he said stick with me you'll make your mark
he took her out to high class places then
he made a promise in the dark
