You're ruining it for everyone.
Everyone just wants to have some fun.
Kick, Punch, Fight, Bite.
Who got the news to you?
I got a shiner to show you.
The beat down in my town goes all around.
Gourmet chopping knives to skin away all the hives between you and me.
It€™s because of me and you.
Still things are hectic and days drag away.
This necktie is gonna get the best of us.
If I€™m going out I€™m going out like the rest of them.
Here€™s my name and brain to process.
If I dont come back you can thank the bosses.
You are my only girl, but you're not my owner girl.
Talk to me... dance with me here in the spotlight, girl.
Talk to me... dance with me here.
You're the spotlight girl.
So perfect you paint it... yet so manipulated.
So calm and so patient... yet oh so calculated.
So safe and comforting... this doesn't feel like flirting.
She knows that the way to get in to her heart is through her head I waited for her A little bit each day A little bit each day A little bit each day I waited for her
She knows that the time to be a little girl isn't around much longer for her She only wants to play She only wants to play She only wants to play So I waited for her I waited for her I waited for her
Her heart was a toy she gave away at night-it needed a home I gave that to her And every single day And every single day And every single day I waited for her I waited for her I waited for her
She knows that the way to get in to her heart is through her head I waited for her A little bit each day A little bit each day A little bit each day I waited for her
Left to go right on a Las Vegas night.
Televise the crisis and crutial accident.
Baby burns bright blue for description.
Babies born with a broken spine.
Take him all apart and put him back together.
Connected by fine wires to a dynamite bouquet.
A is for artist and A is for architect.
Cars look oh so so sad.
Roads look oh so so drab.
Windows copied and pasted.
Buildings look pixelated.
Alphabetical names.
Dropping, wet dripping.
No rain will blur invisible ink.
I think you think I wrote it down.
Why are you wired in to the wall?
Why are you wired in it at all?
Know you won't believe it -not until you see it.
No. Know you won't believe it -not until I write it down.
Make sure you wake me when you get back from the dead
I'll still be lying here in bed
All of your followers â- they still what you feel
It's just a shame it ain't real
It's in you to give
It's in you to take
It's in you to stand up
It's in you to break
And all of these people are waiting for someone to show them the way
I'm outta my soul
I'm out in the dark
I'm outta my mind
And I'm outta my heart
I'm outta my luck
I'm down on my knees
If it matters to you I guess it matters to me
Effortless compliments wrapped up in useless advice
A battle of wit with an army
Beautiful memories pillaged by termites of time
Denying it all to a bottle of wine
It's in you to give
It's in you to take
It's in you to stand up
It's in you to break
And all of these people are waiting for someone to show them the way
I'm outta my soul
I'm out in the dark
I'm outta my mind
And I'm outta my heart
I'm outta my luck
I'm down on my knees
If it matters to you I guess it matters to me
Are you worth your weight in gold?
Are you worth your weight in gold?
Are you worth your weight in gold?
I'm outta heart and outta soul
I'm outta my soul
I'm out in the dark
I'm outta my mind
And I'm outta my heart
I'm outta my luck
I'm down on my knees
If it matters to you I guess it matters to me
Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Up and down on my legs my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
These bandages cover more than scrapes, cuts and bruises from regrets and mistakes
I've been hoping your moping around the street again
I've been tripping from sipping the dripping dirty water tap
I've been poking a voodoo doll that you do not know I made
These bandages are anonymity
I've been shaking from making an awful decision
I've been running and running
feels like my head is spinning round and round, around, around, around, around, around
Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Up and down on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
I've been hoping your moping around the street again
I've been tripping from sipping the dripping dirty water tap
I've been poking a voodoo doll that you do not know I made
For you, of you, let's see what needles do
I've been shaking from making an awful decision
I've been thinking I'm drinking too many drinks all by myself
I've been running and running
Feels like my head is spinning round and round, around, around, around, around, around
Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Up and down on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Don't worry now, don't worry now, don’t worry cause it's all under control
Don't worry now, don't worry now, don’t worry cause it's all under control
Don't worry now, don't worry now, don’t worry cause it's all under control
Don't worry now, don't worry now, don’t worry cause it's all under control
Don't worry now, don't worry now, don’t worry cause it will all turn around,
around, around, around, around, around, around, around
Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Up and down on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Up and down on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Bandages, bandages, bandages
A long, long time ago...
it went exactly as I planned because back then we never played it safe
and she put on more for show.
Combustible at best, the rest just fell right in to place.
Yes, in fact, that was the case.
But, when she sat down I felt seriously delerious because...
a tragedy at best -the less she cared about herself,
no longer cared about her little self.
And the reason that it took me
and she hooked me originally was all for show.
A dollhouse drawn in sand.
The random look of dirty hands throwing out my plans.
I felt seriously delerious and furious because she put on more for show.
A long, long time ago...
it went exactly as I planned because back then she put on more show.
Then so effortlessly lost her lust for dressing up.
She's messing up. She's no more fun.
Where did it all go wrong?
From the age of 15, I was honest - honest, I was
Half of my brain still knows
That someone has opened doors
That half of me still won't close
Well I want to know
[Chorus:]
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
I never want
I never wanted anyone
I never want
I never wanted anybody
Where did it all get torn apart?
Got a shotgun by my side
You can make her laugh but can't make her cry
Waving goodbye to innocence
Am I that obvious to read?
Am I in love with my best friend?
Well, I want to know
[Chorus]
Paco Pena Lyrics
The empire's plan, is in the windy city.
Feeling like he does, he feels pretty shitty.
His new hat just blew away.
Can't hang it up to another day.
You know what?
He's down and out again.
Paco Pena, no deniro, he went loco.
He's down and out.
He lost his hat.
The middle east's beast, when you're in the wild.
Like a red hot chillie, you can't stand mild.
My new hat just got shot off.
What am I gonna do?
There's a gentleman who's not so gentle cuz he's too generous with his chit and his chat
So lately we've been discussing a way to rid this disgusting example of ample gossip and gab
All we hear is La La La...
He's a gentleman who plays a caricature of a character he wishes he was
So lately we've been ignoring all his stories as we smile and nod and let him simply do what he does
So watch out
And everybody's got the same story:
We never wanted him here
He showed up anyway
He never would leave us alone
We never wanted him here
He showed up anyway
But maybe that's ok
Soon this gentleman was barking louder when his biting harder didn't earn him respect
But lately we've been too proud to admit that we all might miss him just a bit now that he's packed up and left
What did we do?
And everybody's got the same story:
We never wanted him here
He showed up anyway
He never would leave us alone
We never wanted him here
He showed up anyway
But maybe that's ok
We never wanted him here
He showed up anyway
He never would leave us alone
We never wanted him here
And now he's gone for good
But maybe we've made a mistake
Feel this fist, the first time it feels fine.
Can you second guess my second rhyme?
Fashion Fight Pause.
First run really fast, then do a flip;
pistol whip can't beat my kung fu grip.
I was picked up and then dropped off in a culture counter-clockwise turned around
Dug a hole in Southern Carolina - took me straight to China safe and sound
Donated my map to the lost and found
While working for a common cause I only got a kamikaze state of mind
This self defeating meeting of the minds is eating what was once so hard to find
But right then the clouds parted in the sky
The horizon took us all a little by surprise
Watch the sky
And as the howling winds subsided, the locals ran out, all waving their hands and singing:
Welcome to the island of the honest man
Do what you want - there is no need to impress us
Welcome to the island of the honest man
We don't believe in what the big people tell us
Wait here - stay here
I was picked up and then dropped off in a culture counter-clockwise turned around
Rolled a pair of dice in Paris that got me to paradise all safe and sound.
Stole my temper back from the lost and found
No longer needed to be seated on a sinking ship just waiting there to drown
Jump off now - jump off now
And as they lead us to their village, a thousand voices all started to sing out loud:
Welcome to the island of the honest man
Do what you want - there is no need to impress us
Welcome to the island of the honest man
We don't believe in what the big people tell us
Wait here - stay here
From the sunrise up above to the sunset below, they all sing
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go
And all the people on the island they already know why they sing
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go
From the sunrise up above to the sunset below, they all sing
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go
And all the people on the island they all want to show why they sing
Why they sing, why they sing, why they're singing
Welcome to the island of the honest man
Do what you want - there is no need to impress us
Welcome to the island of the honest man
We don't believe in what the big people tell us
Welcome to the island of the honest man
This is the island of the honest man
Welcome to the island of the honest man
This is the island of the honest man
Wait here - stay here
Walking oh so slowly.
Don't know anybody.
Feels like I'm in Cairo.
Talking oh so quickly.
Please explain what they mean.
Taking matters too light.
How did this start a fight.
Why did I tie them tight?
Double knotted tonight.
I guess this must be Cairo.
Diamonds and brass hid behind painted glass in the heart of Cairo.
Sinking in way too deep.
I won't care what they think once I've left for Cairo.
Thinking about it too hard.
Shouldn't take this too far or I'll end up in Cairo.
Saturday night the cigarettes come crawling out
with the boys who crave regrets
Bandana hanging around her neck
A checkered flag in a crowd who's singing
"Save us from this life of nine to five"
Four, three, two
One night left for us to feel alive
Harmonicas and tambourines
They're living in her head but dying in her magazines
Her Chelsea clothes and Brooklyn dreams
They're living in her head but dying in her magazines
Say maybe yes, say maybe no
A bit too loud and the lights a bit too low
She never needed a cameo until the chain gang started to sing
"Save us from this life of nine to five"
Four, three, two
One night left for us to feel alive
Harmonicas and tambourines
They're living in her head but dying in her magazines
Her Chelsea clothes and Brooklyn dreams
They're living in her head but dying in her magazines
Harmonicas and tambourines
They're living in her head but dying in her magazines
Her Chelsea clothes and Brooklyn dreams
They're living in her head but dying in her magazines
Harmonicas and tambourines
They're living in her head but dying in her magazines
Her Chelsea clothes and Brooklyn dreams
They're living in her head but dying in her magazines
Cats got my tongue.
Giving me a nose bleed.
I'm in too much trouble.
Even though I know you, I don't have to like you.
That bullet didn't break my skull.
That dumpster didn't break my fall.
I took yours, now take mine.
Wake up,
You do have a way with words, at least with me, unfortunately.
Please tell me this means what I think it does,
But secretly, so he won't see.
My dear, I fear that your scandal has corrupted many,
Disrupted many, anyway.
Have a good sleep,
Have a good sleep,
Have a good sleep on your own.
Have a good sleep all alone.
Tape up your fingers they're bleeding now, so knock less hard.
Wait patiently.
Useless they're useless excuses.
So unnecessary, but not with me.
Hold on,holding on,
Holding on, though I don't why.
Hold on,holding on,
Holding on to your lullabye.
My love is gone, but not for long,
My love is gone, but not for long.
Have a good sleep
Have a good sleep
Have a good sleep on your own.
They all warned me to stay out Stubborn, stupid, scarred and proud Don't try to warn me Don't try to warn me Don't try to warn me I said
I'll make my own mistakes Don't care how long it takes I'll make my own mistakes again But all I know is all I got's
[Chorus:] Frustration frustration I hate this vacation So give up? Give up? I got to get away from here It's killing me just thinking 'bout it
[Repeat Chorus]
They all warned me of her crime Cut your losses while there's time Don't try to warn me Don't try to warn me Don't try to warn me I said
I'll make my own mistakes You don't know what she's like I'll make my own mistakes again But all I know is all I got's
[Chorus x2]
They all warned me to stay out Stubborn, stupid, scarred and proud
Don't try to warn me Don't try to warn me Don't try to warn me Don't try to warn me about
[Chorus]
Witless, humorous conversatoin
Has filled me up like an old gas station
I'm wallowing in a pool of gasoline
Self appointed sherrif of a popular ghostown
I'm open to bribes but I've arrested no one
I'm galloping to meet my bride to be
She'll woo the saloon then sing us both to sleep
But... I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I've run out of time
Drop dead gorgeous art history drop out
Thought of her fatherought to pay her to clear the whole shop up
She carries her cameras in hand to complete the look
Screenplay players co-writing screenplay
Cotton candy fot the eyess but cotton balls for the brain
He thinks to himself, "Thank God the bar's not too high"
Just look at his face and then you'll see why
But... I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I've run out of time
Hollywood waiter with a chip on his shoulder
Only break has been his back and yet he's just getting older
He's washing his clothes in a sink of self pity
Retired ball playerguest hosting a talk show
Earned a trophy and a wife and twice he's won the lotto
I'm running aways but don't know who from or why
Just look in his eyes and then you'll see why
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I've run out of time
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
Says she's got it all.
I don't wanna be the one to tell her that she don't.
Late night, in a lonely city...
So hard, she tries to look pretty.
Boys don't even notice her though.
She's in need of attention so...
Lost and naked in the city again.
Intoxicated by a quarter to ten.
Lost and naked in the city again.
I can't sit through this, no way
Get your face out of my face
Take who you heard I am and times it by a thousand again
I can't sit through this no more
Get your foot out of my door
You me and the devil makes three and that's still two too many for me
Years ago this is where you were thinking you would want to be
Now you're here look around is this really what you wanted to see?
I'm not talking deception
No misshapen mid-sections yo
Disses are no-no but I can't help but feeling just so-so
So you got a candidate to take your place?
It's not my fault that they hate your face
These kids need some new a-material
They'll spread for cred
Bacterial
I can't sit through this, no way
Get your face out of my face
Take who you heard I am and times it by a thousand again
I can't sit through this no more
Get your foot out of my door
You me and the devil makes three and that's still two too many for me
Once upon a time I guess it made some sense to me
to straddle idly a fend to wait and see
And still I don't know
still I don't know
still I don't know why I really had to give it a, give it a, give it a go
These people need you like a hole in the head
They were staying afloat until you threw them your lead
they were making their minds up matter-of-factly
fact of the matter is that it never ends happily
Watch them
they're fucking us one by one
drugged up
they're killing us just for fun
I don't care, no I don't care
watch them
they're climbing us rung by rung
oh god
breathing through iron lungs
I don't care, no I don't care
I can't sit through this no more
I can't sit through this no more
I can't sit through this, no way
Get your face out of my face
Take who you heard I am and times it by a thousand again
I can't sit through this no more
Get your foot out of my door
Oh no, she's not a secret now.
But, nobody cares.
The wolves have smelled her scent.
Some of us wouldn't be lying if we said were trying too hard.
But, it all works out in the end.
Some of us would be trying too hard to begin lying.
But... but, it seems to all work out in the end.
Don't get mad if I'm laughing
Blame the caffeine for all the 5 am phone calls
I haven't slept a single night in over a month
And not even once did you start to make sense to me
Well maybe I'm a little bit slow, or just consistently inconsistent
She said, "Unpredictability's my responsibility, baby."
But you're waiting at the door where everybody's hanging out just like they hung out before
You didn't have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn't have to do it but you would anyway
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
They chewed me up and then they spit me out
And I'm not supposed to let it bother me
But maybe I'm a little bit weak - I let my frailty take the wheel
She said, "Maybe there's a bit of me waiting for a bit of you. baby."
But you're waiting at the door where everybody's hanging out just like they hung out before
You didn't have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn't have to do it but you would anyway
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
But you're waiting at the door where everybody's hanging out just like they hung out before
You didn't have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn't have to do it but you would anyway
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
Watch your children around the abandoned well
Don't ask me to tell if they slipped and fell
I'm just a salesman with my suitcase in hand
And the perfect plan that should pull me out
Another day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought I'd end up here
Jingle jangle that's the sound of coins
Spent on useless toys made for useless boys
I'm just a salesman with my suitcase in hand
There's a piece of land that I got my eye on
Another day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought I'd end up here
Friday night I'll raise my glass and say
"Tomorrow things will change! I can't afford to wait."
But by Monday morning my alarm clock knows
How this story goes and the ending's the same as the start
Another day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought I'd end up here
Another day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought I'd end up here
Watch your children around the abandoned well
Don't ask me to tell if they slipped and fell
I'm just a salesman with my suitcase in hand
Nobody knows what's gonna happen now
Sold all nine daughters and traded all the cows
Salute the 21st century dreamers as we wake up in a jail cell
Let the people think you're hiding something better than what you got
It sure beats hiding nothing
Paranoid? you can't blame me it's just JFK's LSD
We signed a waiver now we're testing, testing, 123
Can't get enough
Got quite a hunch you're scratching someone's crack
Don't let them fool, you lobotomies are back!
Salute the 21st century genius
I think it's time you take another look around
You can keep em at bat but put that knife away
Always with the wild card you're gonna wanna play cuz you're my implosionatic
My implosion addict
That a boy
Don't rock the boat
That a boy
Let it implode
I think it's time you take another couple days off
Gotta make a conversation such a face off
I'm betting debt is threatening to make it worse
Try to hide you're dreaming up an epitaphic verse
You can keep em at bay but put your pills away
Always with the wild card you always wanna play
So much for dying before you're 30 or 27 like Jan and Jim
Get on it
He never thought that he would leave so soon.
Passed out in May, but then woke up June hanging over July.
Security! Security!
Beware: the cost of living is a one way fare.
I'm pulling the alarm, so get in or get out.
His polyester sticks out in the crowd.
It's true, there is such a thing as too loud -but I won't let him know.
White lipstick smeared upon my bathroom mirror.
He stuck me with the bill -but I don't care.
Ugly or pretty, it's still my city.
Make up your mind and get in or get out!
Say what you will, but get in or get out!
We never thought that he would leave this town.
We always that he would hang around getting old with the rest.
Jean jackets folded on his closet shelf.
I won't say anymore I won't say anything across the bridge on Abbott Strip there lives a man with atlas grip windows covered single mattress on friday nights he feeds his actress across the bridge on Abbott Street there lives this girl she used to be still half naked she falls in traffic hey dumb ass kid heres your dumb ass live back I won't come back crawling again some may fear just your name for me I wish it was the same I'm still waiting for somebody to fix this damage to my body some may fear the future breeds these drunken sailors planting seeds I'll just need this cheque to clear so I can check right out of here this merry-go-round has spun itself into the ground and an eighth of me knows that an eighth of this ilfe is still fun as hell but they breed you better babe bred you better they bred you better than me
Blame me for the elevator - I know you will
It's not me who's the operator but you're going down
You'll be sorry when you're singing all alone
But don't take me up
I'll just fall down once again
Don't take me up
I'll just fall down
Wake me when you're educated - I know you will
You'll be self-medicated - you're spinning round
You'll be there, but no one will even know your name
But don't take me up
I'll just fall down once again
Don't take me up
I'll only find my way back down
Don't take me up
I'll only find my way back down
Don't take me up
It's true I've dabbled at times with confident lines
I was half of a man nearly half of the time
In an innocent way, I thought it could stay with us both on the ground
With us fooling around
Let's just stay on the ground
Let's stay fooling around on the ground
Don't take me up
I'll just fall down like I knew that I would.
Don't take me up
I'll only find my way back down
Don't take me up
I got my head shaved for her
because she told me it would do all the right things for my identity.
I never knew that it would;
I never knew that it could;
I think perhaps because it makes no difference.
Hold me down Aveda!
Hold me down... it feels so right.
All I know is what I've been told.
I got all done up for her
because she told me it would do something to correct my identity.
I never knew that I should;
I never knew that I would;
I think perhaps because it makes no difference.
I can't articulate it; consistently frustrated;
her discontent over my identity.
I never knew that itwould;
I never knew that it could;
Let's be honest, we're all criminals here so take the halo down
Autograph hunters making legends out of scumbags from a better town
21 at midnight, it's a curse of a man who'd kill to put it off
Wrestling grizzly bears just to draw a crowd
a crowd that would have jumped at dogs
When you're 21 at midnight you act like a man
look him in the eyes and say what you just said to me then
21 at midnight
your tombstone in hand
you fight so hard to give away for free what you'll just want again
a virtual who's-who of the who-cares, the self appointed king and queen
Better off jester rather tame the troops than fertilize the village green
hey I knew you back in 1999, I know you don't forget
Obligations plague you still why can't you shed em yet?
When you're 21 at midnight you act like a man
look him in the eyes and say what you just said to me then
21 at midnight
your tombstone in hand
you fight so hard to give away for free what you'll just want again
you'll just want again
And on this night in a border town
you'll wave goodbye to your father's son
And on this night in a drunken brawl
you'll say hello to your poor child's father
who's 21 at midnight
he thinks he's a man
look him in the eyes and say what you just said to me then
21 at midnight
your tombstone in hand
you fight so hard to give away for free what you will just want again
I found a soldier in a box
A souvenir that someone lost at such a cost
The cemetery gates were closed
Only the humming birds would smell the flowers brought for ghosts
There's not much fame or fortune
For the fortuneteller selling fortunes to the broke
Soldier in a box... he's mighty lonely
Soldier in a box... he's nothing special
He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there
He's celebrating himself cuz nobody cares
He's serenading himself
"No need to say this letter better get to where he lays his head!" she said
Seventeen months of wondering why she forgot to send her thoughts was all he got instead
Her soldier in a box... he's mighty lonely
Soldier in a box... he's nothing special
He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there
He's celebrating himself cuz nobody's there
He's serenading himself
He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there
He's celebrating himself cuz nobody cares
He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there
He's celebrating himself cuz nobody cares
He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there
There's a gentleman who's not so gentle cuz he's too generous with his chit and his chat

He showed up anyway
He never would leave us alone
We never wanted him here
And now he's gone for good
It's not enough to hear me say you've won
You only wanted me for having fun
But now I think you've gone and had your way
And left me with a pile of bills to pay
I can't even rewind the tape machine
To listen to your drunken reasoning
So here it is - your final lullaby
So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So Goodnight
I've given up on social niceties
I threw 'em out when I threw out your keys
Along with all your records I can't stand
You never even listen to any one of them
You're never gonna drag me out again
With all the people that were never ever even your friends
So here it is - your final lullaby
So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So goodnight
A little bit of rain I'd say is fair
But when it starts to thunder they all stare
This isn't goodnight, this is goodbye...
So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight.
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
Everybody is waiting for everybody to get out
I'll join 'em talking 'bout the people everybody talk about
And all the pretty people party while the petty people pout
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
We could have given up early when it was dark still, not light
Now it's the 48th hour of a two-day night
And all the pretty people party while the petty people fight
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
A jack-of-all-trades and a master of none
Why do I have to be bored with being foolish and young?
The show isn't over, but I'm long since gone
I feel like I let them down when I don't wanna trade my sunshine for a cloudy night
But everybody's pretending the sun won't ever come out
I'll join 'em talking 'bout whatever everybody talks about
And all the pretty people party while the petty people shout
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth
I don't wanna wait anymore
Wake up cinnamon
They can't get in and that's them at the door,
Cuz checkout time is noon and pretty soon it's a quarter to four
I don't wanna wait anymore
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth cuz you taste like you're already gone
Small town girls and boys make too much noise so I keep to myself
But acting tough is rough - enough is enough - I feel like hell
Tied up in London, you came undone with a two handed tug
With pieces of a phone, thrown at the door, spread out on the rug
I don't wanna wait anymore
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth cuz you taste like you're already gone
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth cuz you taste like you're already gone
I gotta say I cannot wait
Not even one more night or day
Why don't you fly and get away
And end this awful holiday
Come and play, come and stay, and end this awful holiday
I gotta say I cannot wait
Not even one more night or day
Why don't you fly and get away and end this awful holiday
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth cuz you taste like you're already gone
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth

He was in the habit of taking things for granted
Granted, there wasn't much for him to take
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder he'd never change
Tight fisted with his compliments, it didn't seem to bother him
that talk is even cheaper told in bulk
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder
He'd never change
And so she yelled at him:
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
I know what I should get this time
She was in the habit of reapplying makeup
Makeup eaten up by crocodile tears
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change
Overtly individual - covertly traditional
She couldn't seem to make up her mind
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change
And so he yelled at her:
And so she yelled at him:
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
I know what I should get this time
Oh... Is it real? I don't know
But, I'll act as if it is
What's our deal? I don't know
But, I'll act as if it is what I think that it is
If it is, then this might just work
They were in the habit of taking things for granted
Granted, they never quite knew what they had
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder they'd never change
And so they yelled out loud:
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
I know what I should get
Regular exposure to insecticide has caused me to break out in hives.
I'm losing weight. I cannot wait till Saturday...
cuz on Saturday, my tax deductions make me function like a blue collar...
white collar...? ...I don't know -so I gotta hollar
"Oh! Oh Goddamnit! I think I've lost it!
Oh God! Goddamnit, I think I've lost you!
Anti-oxidants have got me causing accidents
because my wine is spiked with pomegranite.
If you've got just one, then slam it.
"Oh! Oh Goddamnit! I think I've lost it!
Oh God! Goddamnit, I think I've lost you!
Shot down -it's just such a shame.
I bet you feel no pain. Mercy!
Expect a rivalry.
Shot down -it's just such a shame.
I'm losing at this game. No fair!
Why don't you seem to care.
Lack of consequence has got me making decisions
based upon truth or dare decision making.
No faking.
I end up taking karate.
She's naughty... I call shotty!
My body will never live up to these expectations...
I still make invitations.
"Oh! Oh Goddamnit! I think I've lost it!
Oh God! Goddamnit, I think I've lost you!
Shot down -it's just such a shame.
I bet you feel no pain. Mercy!
Expect a rivalry.
Shot down -it's just such a shame.
I'm losing at this game. No fair!
Why don't you seem to care.
Oh! Oh Goddamnit. I think I've lost it
and I think that I've lost you.
Shot down -it's just such a shame.
I think that I'm losing this game (I bet you feel no..)
Shot down -it's just such a shame.
Gonna walk right through this town
and laugh with a crowd of strangers chasing me.
Never stop to look behind my back,
so tell me what they said
because I fear my life's in danger now in this town.
How did you get to my motel -do tell soon.
Gonna walk right through this town again
with a crowd of strangers watching me,
picking every little thing apart.
So, tell me what they said
because I get attitude from this town -in this town.
How did you get to this town?
...Through this town?
Gonna walk right through this town again
knowing that I'm only here tonight.
Never cared to stop and say hello;
so, tell me what they said
because I don't have time to hang around in this town.
Maybe... maybe I should think to stay.
Maybe I won't ever return.
Maybe... maybe I should stop and play.
Gonna walk right through this town again.
But, all I know is I really should be on my way.
Shame on you for getting wet
Now who will dry your eyes?
Shame on you for getting wet
How can you act surprised?
Running with scissors wasn't smart
I tripped and cut open your heart
I didn't mean to, but I seem to
Have pushed us back to the start
In the wake of my mistake
I felt your voice starting to shake
The timing couldn't have been worse
For me to be this far away
Shame on you for getting wet
Now who will dry your eyes?
Shame on you for getting wet
How can you act surprised?
Traveled the world under your spell
Cast on me in a motel
It turned my rain clouds in to rainbows
But I couldn't even tell
As days apart turned in to weeks
My memory played hide and seek
While I was playing show n' tell
I took your trust and set it free
Shame on you for getting wet
Now who will dry your eyes?
Shame on you for getting wet
How can you act surprised?
Shame on you for getting wet
Now who will dry your eyes?
Shame on you for getting wet
Now who will dry your eyes?
Shame on you for getting wet
How can you act surprised?
Running with scissors wasn't smart
I tripped and cut open your heart
I didn't mean to, but I seem to
Have pushed us back to the start
In the wake of my mistake
I felt your voice starting to shake
The timing couldn't have been worse
You got to save us! S-O-S!
I'm out of gas. I'm out out of touch.
Shipwrecked ferry... marry me -or take me out to lunch.
No, I won't be coming home.
Tell her that I still am on the road.
Make sure she knows that I would change it if I could.
There's an exit door and it won't open up for me!
There's an exit door and it won't open up!
You see? I heard a tick-tock, tick-tock, tick... talk to you on the phone.
Ring-Ring... though I know that nobody's home.
Why not? Why not I ask?
Why can't we be creative?
Some days are gonna be diamonds some days are just gonna be stones
Some days the reaper isn't looking so grim some days the past is the only mine that has gold
But don't get too heavy
Don't get so intense
Don't make you this party's problem
No one put a gun to your head
Nobody's accusing you of having a good time
Some days you're crawling forwards some days you're spinning backwards
Some days your bullshit detector's turned off some days a medieval torture test won't even trigger a cough
Don't get too petty
don't be so exact
You can't let go you can't relax
A payment plan for heart attacks
you got your money who's got your back
Why can't we all just start from scratch
Examine these scribbles and half of it's drivel
I sorta went apeshit
You somehow still make it so mellow and to that I say hello
Examine these facial expressions
My late night obsession is creeping its way into everything I think of
You fit me like a ski glove
I need a goddess on the prairie to drag me away
I need a goddess on the prairie to keep me somewhat sane
You're secretly ridiculous
Unconsciously meticulous
Magnetically you pull from me the words a proper man wouldn't touch on
You hear it like a love song
If there was a god for a witness she'd know mental fitness was not top priority for me but that don't phase you so far
You treat me like a new car
If tidal waves hit you gonna swim to bottom and get you
Tsunamis hit you gonna swim to bottom and get you
If tidal waves hit you I'll swim to the bottom
Hid his car in the back
Payed a kid to watch his glass don't crack
See him greeted by his made up name in the stairwell of his favorite parkade
He prays for my blind eye
He was lost
He was found with a boy in a pillbox hat on the wrong side of town for a man who wears a suit like that
He prays for my blind eye
I pray for his new bride
Transatlantic transactions under covers covering up an attraction
Blood on a pillow with a pregnant wife and kids
He prays that nobody knows nobody cares
He prays that nobody sees nobody stares
Don't let the kids find you out
Father figure of the new millennium: \"Life's too short for me to just live one
Money's money kid - that's fact
Who are they to say what I put back?\"
He prays for my blind eye
I pray for his new bride
He prays for my blind eye
I pray for his new wife
December Dozens of punches Give up those car keys And walk to the new year
Ignore these michievous motives My balance and focus Get blurry when you're here
But I want my Christmas Day In The Sun All I want this year is California It's not too much to ask for Christmas Day In The Sun I need a better way to spend the new year As long as you're around-
Raindrops are painted on rooftops Locals, they don't stop I know where it's headed
I'm not cut out for these parties I know where my heart is I try and forget it
So I want my Christmas Day In The Sun All I want this year is California It's not too much to ask for Christmas Day In The Sun I need a better way to spend the new year As long as you're around-
Their faces always blurred away When we were young I heard you say It's yours to lose It's yours to lose
Don't say I'll wait You don't have to remember I'm out of excuses
I hear the echos of us In the station They're pointing and laughing
Got hold.
It's powdered gold.
Who's who in japanese prints these days.
These pills still kill.
Making all them kids ill.
If it don't kill them, I know what will.
But they're building backs for all the beat up kids.
Woke up in smoke and flames
[Had a lie] with a stranger
5 thousand photographs
solemn burnt up in anger
Am I asleep still?
Tell me, I could have been
Don't let it tear us apart again limb from limb
please let me in
But I don't want to look at you this way
I'm staring through your window
I don't want to think of you this way
I'm begging, baby, Let me in
Baby, just let me in
I'm begging at your door just let me in
Just let me in
I drank the wine of youth
Ended up in a coma
Your wicked silver tounge
No wonder nobody told you
That I'm awake now
First time I've ever been able to see what I should have seen
way back when you let me in
But I don't want to look at you this way
I'm staring through your window
I don't want to think of you this way
I'm begging, baby, let me in
Baby just let me in
I'm begging at your door just let me in
Just let me in
There's [?] for [waiting]
Just won't end up saving
Guess this is farewell
unless Somehow, you let me in
See, I'm awake now
First time I've ever been able to see what I should have seen
Way back when you let me in
But I don't want to look at you this way
I'm staring through your window
I don't want to think of you this way
I'm screaming baby let me in
baby just let me in
i'm screaming at your door just let me in
just let me in
There's (?) for [waiting]
Just won't end up saving
Guess this is farewell
Mediocrity's got me so opportunities have been slow.
Sentiment has got me feeling low.
My left back speaker's blown.
Left the radio on.
Who left the door unlocked?
Now my hit's stolen.
Where's all your passion gone?
Where's all your fashion gone?
Where's all your magic gone?
Now you feel famous?
Encyclopedias sold through the media.
Fashion is feeding us identification.
Consequential because she doesn't but he does.
Metric systemic buzz is making me anxious.
Applaud the effort you display,
as long as it don't sound the same.
It's second rate you know.
Average if not below.
It's second rate you know ohohoh
My left back speaker's blown.
Left the radio on.
Who left the door unlocked?
Now my hit's stolen.
Where's all your passion gone?
Where's all your fashion gone?
Where's all your magic gone?
Now you feel famous?

I just shouldn't even say... but it all sounds the same. oh no
Mediocrity cold killed your act.
I just shouldn't even say... but it all sounds the same. oh no
Mediocrity cold killed your act.
I just shouldn't even say... but it all sounds the same. oh no
Mediocrity cold killed your act.

Left the radio on.
Who left the door unlocked?
Better save the hot hot seat for the emperor.
He's the arsonist, yeah I got the evidence.
Better eat that lion, before that lion eats you.
Rome's getting on like a house on fire.
Where's my kerosene or my gasoline.
I'm here at the gates all alone.
Minimalist impression made of the circus maximus.
Let's start a fire.
A flamming riot.
Tank top bottoms up, you forgot to show up.
Hey man, what's the problem,
what's the scene, why are you so mean to me.
All the time, all of the time.
You need roots, just like mine.
Hard to explain, hard to define.
Situations are satisfaction.
Gimme gimme the name and number of the barber that gave you that haircut.
Let me get all talkative, set it straight up, you know I won't shut up.
Long, longer, longest.
It's just haircut economics.
Stop distracting with your cheep-snake talk of ticker tape parades So cos you acting in these charming little two act tact charades And maybe I will, maybe I wont But I wanna see results
I hear my name called and I'm sorry son your showing nearly zero results You pour your drink too tall Its hard to hide behind the fortress of its not my fault No sense of do's, and a care for don'ts But I wanna see results I wanna see results I swear its not my fault
Hey god complex hit me with your worst shot Best not test these owl eyes As we multiply in this perfectly spun web of glum and white lies And no sense of surprise and I said A sense of yes, no care for no
But I wanna see results I wanna see results I'm no hero by no default But I swear that its not my fault
Happiness is limited but misery has no end Give us somewhere we can go instead of one more dead end
The subway doors, they opened up, we ran as though we had to Laugh like there was one last chance to do what lovers might do
With my heart out on parade you got up and walked away
A day can be a thousand years, or seconds under her shade What the heart wants all depends on what she wore out that day Impressing them impresses her, but only for a minuted Making this more than one day seemed almost realistic
With my heart out on parade you got up and walked away
Ripped it down and tore it up It doesn't seem to bother her at all now I'm gone forever
Yeah it's over now It's over now It's over now It's over
It's over now It's over now It's over now It's over now
Where did it all go wrong? From the age of 15, I was honest - honest, I was
Half of my brain still knows That someone has opened doors That half of me still won't close Well I want to know
Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh I never want I never wanted anyone I never want I never wanted anybody
Where did it all get torn apart? Got a shotgun by my side You can make her laugh but can't make her cry
Waving goodbye to innocence Am I that obvious to read? Am I in love with my best fiend? Well, I want to know
I woke up wrong this morning No reason why Los Angeles is pouring and I'm like any guy Sophisticated ladies I've never known So many little babies stuck without a home
It's a good day to die so come knock me over Say goodbye It's a good day to die
I get a hold of something Can't let it go And if it leads to nothing Well, at least I know The weatherman he told me it's getting cold Now it's the same old story Pockets filled with gold
It's a good day to die so come knock me over Say goodbye I'll be on my way It's a tumble and the tide pulling me under So turn out the lights It's a good day to...
I get a hold of something Can't let it go And if it leads to nothing Well, at least I know Well, at least I know
No need to hesitate No need to concentrate No need to slow things down with conversation
Come over here now I wanna show how Chances are thrown away unless we take 'em this way
I never had it I never had it any better than I had it I need a little bit of lovin' Well, I do I need a little bit of love from you But I know, you only want what you can't have
[Chorus:] No need to hesitate No need to concentrate No need to slow things down with conversation
I say we stay up They'll never wake up I always hated it when you'd never stay till the end
I never had it I never had it any better than I had it I need a little bit of lovin' Well, I do I need a little bit of love from you But I know, you only want what you can't have
[Chorus x2]
You won't admit what we both know I won't admit I can't let go You won't admit what time has shown: You only want what you can't have
Fly into YVR Get myself in a car Get to the people that will keep me alive Frostbitten drunken skids You make it howl, kids Something about you, I just trust you tonight
So we head to their pit of shame where they all look the same We're blind and deaf in here but don't really mind Get myself in a drink It always helps to think Don't need to live too but don't need to die
See, how you look and how you feel They're not the same deal Let's live a lie together Let's live a lie together How you look and how you feel
They're not the same deal Let's live a lie together Let's live a lie
We were gridlocked like grizzly teeth Lock-jawed and dropped the key Bear with me man, better back off and believe it Acquaintances we hide This time we let it slide Tip toe or tumble down Pick pocket or leave it
Saturday night the cigarettes come crawling out
with the boys who crave regrets
Bandana hanging around her neck
A checkered flag in a crowd who's singing
"Save us from this life of nine to five"
Four, three, two
One night left for us to feel alive
Harmonicas and tambourines
They're living in her head but dying in her magazines
Her Chelsea clothes and Brooklyn dreams
They're living in her head but dying in her magazines
Say maybe yes, say maybe no
A bit too loud and the lights a bit too low
She never needed a cameo until the chain gang started to sing
"Save us from this life of nine to five"
Four, three, two
One night left for us to feel alive
Harmonicas and tambourines
They're living in her head but dying in her magazines
Her Chelsea clothes and Brooklyn dreams
They're living in her head but dying in her magazines
Harmonicas and tambourines
They're living in her head but dying in her magazines
Her Chelsea clothes and Brooklyn dreams
They're living in her head but dying in her magazines
Harmonicas and tambourines
They're living in her head but dying in her magazines
Her Chelsea clothes and Brooklyn dreams
We met doing a dance.
Cha cha cha, cha cha.
It was an encounter I'm not likely to remember.
I said keep my name out of your mouth.
There was sabotage in the fuselage of that 747 heart of yours.
I set the bomb but it went off wrong and my parachute saved the day.
You could have seen your eyes go red like this guy.
French kiss the asses of the masses
when they ask which ways the fastest to Hong Kong.
I don't know I've never been, but soon I'll be.
Tell the operator "sell you later", at this point in starving.
Give me a minute and I'll tell you when I'm ready to go underwater.
All of my bastard children knew right from the very beginning.
They knew exactly what I was thinking.
They knew I was sinning and sinking.
Walk a million miles to tell a thousand lies to a smile on the face.
Knock Knockin, who's there?
Matado at the door; knocking till midnight.
Sell his soul to hell, he lost the bull fight.
Nothing's okay; everything's no-kay?
Between the matador and his wife.
Watch your children around the abandoned well
DonÂ't ask me to tell if they slipped and fell
IÂ'm just a salesman with my suitcase in hand
And the perfect plan that should pull me out
Another day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought IÂ'd end up here
Jingle jangle thatÂ's the sound of coins
Spent on useless toys made for useless boys
IÂ'm just a salesman with my suitcase in hand
ThereÂ's a piece of land that I got my eye on
Another day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought IÂ'd end up here
Friday night IÂ'll raise my glass and say
"Tomorrow things will change! I canÂ't afford to wait."
But by Monday morning my alarm clock knows
How this story goes and the endingÂ's the same as the start
Another day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought IÂ'd end up here
Another day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought IÂ'd end up here
Watch your children around the abandoned well
DonÂ't ask me to tell if they slipped and fell
IÂ'm just a salesman with my suitcase in hand
Into the rain we'll run out
under the storm with lightning on it's way into a tree
we'll carve our names and there we'll stay forever
this town was meant for [believing] so go while they were sleeping
watching waiting thinking but never saying
all our lives
the fire's burning but it's so so so so cold in here
all this time
the fire's burning but it's so so so so so so so so so damn cold
so stay up
we'll play our song
so stay up
these city walls they cage us
into the streets with midnight on it's way [?]
and these empty [bottles/battles] where we'd hide forever
this restless, reckless slow dance
with reckless, restless romance
watching, holding, thinking but never knowing
all our lives
the fire's burning but it's so so so so cold in here
all this time
the fire's burning but it's so so so so so so so so so damn cold
so stay up
we'll play our song
so stay up
we'll play our song
[instrumental]
all our lives
the fire's burning but it's so so so so cold in here
all this time
the fire's burning but it's so so so so so cold in here
so stay up
we'll play our song
so stay up
[and know that] all our lives
the fire's burning but it's so so cold
the fire's burning but it's so so cold
[nothing's] burning in here
Five times out of a hundred.
Tell me what my odds are, my heart isn't working.
Five times out of a hundred.
Tell me what my chance is, romance is under rated.
hay hay hay i dont want a no
say say say i dont want to go
stay stay stay i dont want a slow,slow slow day
Stare on.
Don't let a glance be too short.
Don't stop.
Glances are a playground.
Stay around the sound of laughing boys.
Walk on round the table making noise.
Stare on! Oh no?
I wanna turn the bathtub on
and watch this house drown from the lawn.
I wanna turn this energy on.
Five times out of a hundred.
Tell me what my odds are, my heart isn't working.
Five times out of a hundred.
Tell me what my chance is, romance is under rated.
hay hay hay i dont want a no
say say say i dont want to go
