A-M N-Z

20 Dollar Nose Bleed

Have you ever wanted to disappear?
And join a monastery
Go out and preach on Manic Street?
Who will I be when I wake up next to a stranger
On a passenger plane?
(Passenger plane)

Permanent jet lag
Please take me back
Please take me back
I'm a stray dog sick
Please let me in
The mad key's tripping singing vows before we exchange smoke rings
Give me a pen

Call me
Mr. Benzedrine
But don't let the doctor in I wanna blow off steam
Call me
Mr. Benzedrine
But don't let the doctor
Don't let the doctor in

It feels like fourteen carats
But no clarity
When I look at the man who would be king
(The man who would be king)
Goes to the desert
The same war his dad rehearsed
Came back with flags on coffins and said
"We won, oh we won"

Permanent jet lag
Please take me back
Please take me back
I'm a stray dog sick
Please let me in
The mad key's tripping singing vows before we exchange smoke rings
Give me a pen

Call me
Mr. Benzedrine
But don't let the doctor in I wanna blow off steam
Call me
Mr. Benzedrine
But don't let the doctor
Don't let the doctor in

Ba ba ba ba benzedrine
My my my benzedrine
Ba ba ba ba ba benzedrine now

Only one book really matters
The rest of the proof is on the television

Call me
Mr. Benzedrine
But don't let the doctor in I wanna blow off steam
Call me
Mr. Benzedrine
But don't let the doctor
Don't let the doctor in

Have you ever wanted to disappear?

It's not me, it's you
Actually, it's the taxidermy of you and me
Untie the balloons from around my neck and ground me
I'm just a racehorse on the track
Send me back to the glue factory
Always thought I'd float away
And never come back
But I've got enough miles on my card
To fly the boys home on my own
But you know me: I like being all alone
And keeping you all alone
And the charts are boring
And the kids are snoring
And the girl's in a sling
You say you're not listening and I said I'm wishing...
And I said... I said...

If 'home is where the heart is'
Then we're all just f**ked
I can't remember
I can't remember

And I want it so bad
I'd shoot the sunshine into my veins
I can't remember the good old days

And it's kind of funny
The way we're wearing anchors on our shirts
When being anchored aboard just feels like a curse

My mind is a safe
And if I keep it then we all get rich
My body is an orphanage
'We take everyone in'
Doing lines of dust and sweat
Off last night's stage
Just to feel like you

The milligrams in my head
Burning tobacco in the wind
Chasing the direction
Chasing the direction
Chasing the direction you went

You're a bottled star
The planets align
Just like Mars
You shine in the sky
You shine in the sky

Are all the good times getting gone?
They come and go and go and come and go
I've got a lot of friends who are stars
But some are just black holes

My mind is a safe
And if I keep it then we all get rich
My body is an orphanage
'We take everyone in'
Doing lines of dust and sweat
Off last night's stage
Just to feel like you

And it's kind of funny
The way we're wearing anchors on our shirts
When being anchored aboard just feels like a curse

My mind is a safe
And if I keep it then we all get rich
My body is an orphanage
'We take everyone in'
Doing lines of dust and sweat
Off last night's stage
Just to feel like you

If 'home is where the heart is'
Then we're all just f**ked

7-9 Legendary

I got that midnight tennis elbow
Got the solitaire rugburn
Took a turn
An ace up my sleeve

I want to choke (u)
And get sick off of you
Like secondhand smoke
Ya got me sweating like Calcutta nights
Such a sweet epiphany

I am a wing (wing)
I'm a prayer (prayer)
A thimble and an acorn
A promise from a poor apocathary-
To an understudy in love forlorn

I'll give you heatstroke
I'm getting you and I'm losing me

We'd get legendary
Tonight little darlin'
Uh huh little darlin'
But I've got a nomadic head
I love ya but I've caught the doom and the dread

7 Minutes in Heaven

I'm sleeping my way out of this one
With anyone who will lie down
I'll be stuck fixated on one star
When the world is crashing down

I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type

Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well
Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own

The only thing worse than not knowing
Is you thinking that I don't know
I'm having another episode
I just need a stronger dose

I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type

Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own

A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me"

I confess, I'm messed up
Dropping "I'm sorry" like you're still around
And I know you dressed up
"hey kid you'll never live this down"

'Cause you're just the girl all the boys want to dance with
And I'm just the boy who's had too many chances

I'm sleeping on your folk's front porch again, dreaming
She said, she said, she said, "Why don't you just drop dead?"

I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me for hating it
So say, what are you waiting for?
Kiss her, kiss her
I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late

Write me off, give up on me
Cause darling, what did you expect
I'm just off a lost cause
A long shot, don't even take this bet

You can make all the moves, you can aim all the spotlights
Get all the sighs and the moans just right

I'm sleeping on your folk's porch again, dreaming
She said, she said, she said, "Why don't you just drop dead?"

I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me for hating it
So say, what are you waiting for?
Kiss her, kiss her
I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late

(always on, always on)
You said you'd keep me honest
(always on, always on)
But I won't call you on it
(always on, always on)

I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me for hating it
So say, what are you waiting for?
Kiss her, kiss her
I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late

I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late

Alone Together

Cut me off, I lost my track
Not my fault, I'm a maniac
It's not funny anymore, no it's not
My heart is like a stallion, they love it more when it's broken
You wanna feel beautiful, do you wanna feel beautiful, yeah

I'm outside the door, let me in
So we can go back and play pretend
I'm on deck, I'm up next
Tonight I'm high as a private jet
Cause…

[Hook]

[Bridge 2]
My heart is like a stallion, they love it more when it's broken
You wanna feel beautiful, do you wanna feel beautiful, yeah

I'm outside the door, let me in
So we can go back and play pretend
I'm on deck, I'm up next
Tonight I'm high as a private jet, yeah

Let's be alone together (yeah)
We could stay young forever (yeah)
We'll stay young-yo-yo-young
Scream it from the top of your lungs

[Hook 2]
I don't know where you're going,
But do you got room for one more troubled soul
I don't know where I'm going,
But I don't think I'm coming home
And I said, I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead
This is the road to ruin and we're starting at the end

Alpha Dog

Clap until your hands hurt
Standing ovations or boos
Watch us until we blur
Walk off into the sunset
Tell rock and roll I'm alone again,
I want to put the Midwest home again
Your time has passed they say never means never
Solar flare stares won't last but never means forever
Never means forever

Alpha dog and oh oh omegalomaniac
Alpha dog and oh oh mega mega low
Welcome to the new deja vu
I can almost see the wizard through the curtains,
Alpha dog and oh oh omegalomaniac

We must have the best coats,
Tell the best jokes
We must make it hard to look so easy
Doing something so hard
You must see my wink
They squint when they look at me
I'm a, I'm a star
I'm a, I'm a star
I'm a star
Oh, I'm a star

Alpha dog and oh oh omegalomaniac
Alpha dog and oh oh mega mega low
Welcome to the new deja vu
I can almost see the wizard through the curtains,
Alpha dog and oh oh omegalomaniac

You're not the first or the last
But you're possibly the prettiest, whoa
He's a fighter past his prime
He's in the gutter waving his hand,
"I'm just fine"

You're not the first or the last
but you're possibly the prettiest, whoa
He's a fighter past his prime
He's in the gutter waving his hand

Alpha dog and oh oh omegalomaniac
Alpha dog and oh oh mega mega low
Welcome to the new deja vu
I can almost see the wizard through the curtains,
Alpha dog and oh oh omegalomaniac

(whoaa, ohh, whoaa)
[Whispered:] Abracadabra
(whoaa, ohh, whoaa)

America's Suitehearts

You could've knocked me out with a... (feather)
I know you've heard this all before, but we're just hell's... (neighbors)
Whoah oh oh oh
Wh-wh-why won't the world revolve around me?
Build my dreams,
Trees grow all over the streets.

But I don't know about classic cars
But I got a lot of friends stuck on Classic Coke
Down set one, hut-hut, hike, Media Blitz...

Let's hear it for America's Suitehearts
But I must confess
I'm in love with my own sins!
Let's heat it for America's Suitehearts
But I must confess
I'm in love with my own sins!

You can bow and pre-tend
That you don't, don't, know your a legend, oh,
Time, time, time has told
Anyone else yet (whisper: Sorry I just-)
Let my love loose again

But I don't know about classic cars
But I got a lot of friends stuck on Classic Coke
Down set one, hut-hut, hike, Media Blitz

Let's hear it for America's Suitehearts
But I must confess
I'm in love with my own sins!
Let's heat it for America's Suitehearts
But I must confess
I'm in love with my own sins!

You could've knocked me out with a... (feather)
I know you've heard it all before

Let's hear it for America's Suitehearts
But I must confess
I'm in love with my own sins!
Let's hear it for America's Suitehearts
But I must confess (I must confess)
I'm in love with my own sins!

Suitehearts... (Lets hear it, oh lets hear it,)
Suitehearts... (Lets hear it, oh lets hear it,)
Suitehearts!

American Boy

Just another one champion sound
We about to get down
Who the hottest in the world right now.
Just touched down in London town.
Bet they give me a pound.
Tell them put the money in my hand right now.
Tell the promoter we need more seats,
We just sold out all the floor seats

Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day.
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You'll be my American Boy.

Arms Race

I am an arms dealer
Fitting you with weapons in the form of words
And don't really care, which side wins
Long as the room keeps singing
That's just the business I'm in

This ain't a scene; it's a God damn arms race
This ain't a scene; it's a God damn arms race
This ain't a scene; it's a God damn arms race
I'm not a shoulder to cry on, but I digress

I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate, Oh-so intricate
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate, Oh-so intricate

[Kanye West]

Now, I don't know what the hell this song is talking ‘bout
Do you?
She said yeah, I've been spending all day trying to figure that out
You too?
The arms race made them raise they arms
And race straight to the top, who knew?
Right now, they got the number one spot
Do you want that (want that) me too
Lyrics
One thing I gotta call out boy,
Take a look at Fall Out Boy
Since they ain't Black
When they get money they don't ball out boy
They just buy tight jeans till they nuts hang all out boy
They figure they dress tight
So we gon dress tighter
He dress white, so we gon dress whiter
So in spite of anything you might of
Seen or heard, this scene occurred
Word

I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate, Oh-so intricate
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate, Oh-so intricate

Yeah
Whoa

[Patrick Stump]

All the boys who the dance floor didn't love
And all the girls whose lips couldn't move fast enough
Sing until your lungs give out

This ain't a scene; it's a God damn arms race
This ain't a scene; it's a God damn arms race
This ain't a scene; it's a God damn arms race
This ain't a scene; it's a God damn arms race
This ain't a scene; it's a God damn arms race
This ain't a scene; it's a God damn arms race

I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate, Oh-so intricate
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate, Oh-so intricate

Austin, We Have A Problem

We're pretty boys
For secret girls
Who never stood a ch-ch-ch-ch-chance in the world
I'm not ready for sincerity
I'd tell any lie to keep you listen-listen-listen-listening

I gave you pretentious.
I gave you indifference, but you only wanted undressed and defenseless.
With all your cheap words about hearts and accidents
Who are you kidding? (Who are you kidding?)
So listen-listen-listen

Sincerity's in
So don't you sound like you mean it
Hold back your breath
In a year no one will even care.

If it's in
So don't you sound like you mean it
Hold back your breath
In a year

Everyone loves an underdog
That's why you're singing along.

With all your cheap words
Who are you kidding?

We're pretty boys
For secret girls
Who are you kidding?

Sincerity's in
So don't you sound like you mean it
Hold back your breath
In a year no one will even care.

If it's in
So don't you sound like you mean it
Hold back your breath
In a year

(Hey! Everyone loves an underdog)
(Hey! Everyone loves an underdog)

When the hook sets in
And this all ends.
I'll wish it never began,
Oh I will die without the attention.

When the hook sets in
And when this all ends.
I will wish it never began,
Oh I will die without the attention.
Oh I will die without the attention.

Sincerity's in
So don't you sound like you mean it
Hold back your breath
In a year no one will even care.

If it's in
So don't you sound like you mean it
Hold back your breath
In a year

Bang the Doldrums

I wrote a goodbye note in lipstick on your arm
When you passed out
I couldn't bring myself to call
Except to call it quits

Best friends
Ex-friends till the end
Better off as lovers
And not the other way around
Racing through the city
Windows down
In the back of yellow checkered cars

You're wrong (wrong)
Are we all wrong
You're wrong (wrong)
Are we all wrong

This city says...

Come hell or high water
Well I'm feeling hot and wet
I can't commit to a thing
Be it heart or hospital

Best friends
Ex-friends till the end
Better off as lovers
And not the other way around
Racing through the city
Windows down
In the back of yellow checkered cars

You're wrong (wrong)
Are we all wrong
You're wrong (wrong)
Are we all wrong

The tombstones were waiting
They were half-engraved
They knew it was over
Just didn't know the date

And I cast a spell over the west to make you think of me
The same way I think of you
This is a love song in my own way
Happily ever after below the waist

Best friends
Ex-friends till the end
Better off as lovers

Racing through the city
Windows down
In the back of yellow checkered cars

You're wrong (wrong)
Are we all wrong
You're wrong (wrong)
Are we all wrong

Best friends (You're wrong)
Ex-friends till the end
Better off as lovers (You're wrong)
And not the other way around
Ex-friends till the end (You're wrong)
Better off as lovers (You're wrong)

Basket Case

Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once?
I am one of those melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone no doubt about it

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up!
Am I just paranoid
I'm just stoned!

I went to a shrink to analyze my dreams
She said it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
So quit whining cuz it's bringing her down

[Chorus]

Gasping to control
So I better hold on

[Chorus]

Beat It

They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it

You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be no macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Show em how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it

They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it

You got to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they'll beat you,
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Show em how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it
Just beat it
Just beat it
Just beat it

Beat it [x5]
Beat it [x5]
Beat it [x6]
Beat it [x6]

Beat it
Beat it

No one wants to be defeated
Show em how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Show em how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it

No one wants to be defeated
Show em how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it [x7]

Beat it [x8]

Better Than This (Rat a Tat)

It's Courtney, bitch.
No thesis existed for burning cities down at such a rampant rate
No graphics and no fucking powerpoint presentation
So they just DIY'd that shit and built their own bombs
She's his suicide blond, she's number than gold

Are you ready for another bad poem?
One more off key anthem
Let your teeth sink in
Remember me as I was not as I am
And I said “I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead,”
I kept wishing she had blonde ambition and she'd let it go to my head

[Bridge]
Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
If my love is a weapon
There's no second guessing when I say
Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
If my heart is a grenade
You pull the pin and say:

[Chorus]
We're all fighting growing old
We're all fighting growing old
In the hopes
Of a few minutes more
To get on St. Peter's list
But you need to lower your standards
Cause it's never
Getting any better than this

[Courtney Love]
We are professional ashes of roses
This kerosene's live
You settled your score
This is where you come to beg, unborn and unshaven
Killing fields of fire to a congress of ravens
This is what we do, we nightmare you

Calm Before the Storm

I sat outside my front window...this story's going somewhere:
"He's well hung," and I am hanging up.
Well there's a song on the radio that says:
"Let's get this party started."
So let's get this party started.

What you do on your own time's just fine.
My imagination's much worse, I just never want to know.
What meant the world had folded
Like legs and fingers holding onto what escapes me;
What he has: a better kiss that never lasts.

You said, between your smiles and regrets: "Don't say it's over."
Dead and gone, dead and gone, yeah

Calm before the storm set it off, and the sun burnt out tonight.
A reception less than warm set it off, and the sun burnt out to...

This is me standing in the arch of the door
Hating that look that's on your face
That says there's another fool like me.
There's one born every minute, there's one born every minute.

What you do on your own time's just fine.
My imagination's much worse, I just never want to know.
What meant the world imploded, inflated then demoted all my oxygen
To product gas and suffocated my last chance.

You said, between your smiles and regrets: "Don't say it's over."
Dead and gone, dead and gone, yeah, woah

Calm before the storm set it off, and the sun burnt out tonight.
A reception less than warm set it off, and the sun burnt out tonight.

Calm before the storm, set it off, set it off, woah

Calm before the storm set it off, and the sun burnt out tonight.
A reception less than warm set it off, and the sun burnt out tonight, yeah...
Woah...yeah...
Sun burnt out tonight
Woah...
The sun burnt out tonight

Car Crash Hearts

Yeah,
What you critics said would never happen!
We dedicate this album to anybody
Who people said couldn't make it!
To the fans that held us down
'Til everybody came around!
Welcome!
It's here!

Last summer we took
Threes across the board
But by fall we were a cover story:
"Now in stores!"
Make us poster boys for your scene
But we are not making an acceptance speech
I found the safest place
To keep all our old mistakes
Every "dot com"'s refreshing
For a journal update

[Chorus] [x2]

So long live
The car crash hearts
Cry on the couch
All the poets come to life
Fix me in 45

I can take your problems away
With a nod and a wave
Of my hand
'Cause that's just
The kind of boy that I am

The only thing I haven't done yet is die
And it's me and my plus one in the afterlife
Crowds are won and lost and won again
But our hearts beat for the diehards

[Chorus] [x2]

Long live the car crash hearts
(Long live the car crash hearts)
Long live the car crash hearts
(Long live the car crash hearts)

[Chorus]

Hehe
Woo!

Young,
F-O-B!

Let's go!

Carpal Tunnel of Love

We take sour sips from life's lush lips,
And we shake, shake, shake, the hips in relationships,
Stomp out this disaster town,
You'll put your eyes to the sun and say:
"I know you're only blinding to keep back what the clouds are hiding"

And we might have started singing just a little soon
We're throwing stones in a glass room

Woah oh, we're so miserable and stunning,
Woah,love songs for the genuinely cunning, woah oh

We keep the beat with your blistered feet,
We bullet the words at the mockingbirds singing,
Slept through the weekend and dreaming,
Of sinking with the melody of the cliffs of eternity
Got postcards from my former selves saying "How've you been?"

We might have said goodbyes just a little soon
(Stomp out this disaster town)
Robbing lips, kissing banks under this moon

Woah, we're so miserable and stunning
Woah, far from the genuinely cunning
Woah, we're so miserable and stunning
Woah, far from for the genuinely cunning

It was ice cream headaches and sweet avalanche,
When the pearls in our shells came out to dance,
You call me a bad tipper of the cradle,
Tired yawns for fawns on hunter's lawns

We're the has-beens of husbands,
Sharpening the knives of young wives,
Take two years and call me when you're better,
Take tears of mine, find yourself wetter

Woah, we're so miserable and stunning
Woah, love songs for the genuinely cunning
Woah, we're so miserable and stunning
Woah, far from the genuinely cunning

Catch Me if You Can

Lights and swollen glands
Paris, Tokyo, New New New York, M-M-M-M-Mexico
Get plastic (woah oh)
Stay tragic (woah oh)

Proclamation of emancipation oh dear Lord,
Please let me into heaven, for just an afternoon.

No, Sam I am,
I can't go to sleep without an ambien
Seen so high they call me mister goodbye
Saying catch me if you can (catch), catch me if you can.

Let's talk about the scene for a minute
I know we ain't been seen in a minute
We left before a minute now we all up in it
Baby boy if you got the big dreams go and get it
Never been the type in tight jeans i won't fit in
When I see them scene girls that they all gonna get in
And I'm living clean now while y'all walk in it
No it's me but I don't give a damn if you all don't get it
So fresh and so clean in my Eugene fitted
While I'm laughing at the baby, y'all crying at the clinic
I read a couple blogs and they had my ass livid
But now I got my own, the world gotta live with it
Never played basketball, but I could show you how to pivot
Making moves in that black hatchback Honda Civic
Like I did in highschool, wish that I could relive it
But I can't so let's go on and get the hook a revisit.

No, Sam I am,
I can't go to sleep without an ambien
Seen so high they call me mister goodbye
Saying catch me if you can (catch), catch me if you can

No, Sam I am,
I can't go to sleep without an ambien
Seen so high they call me mister goodbye
Saying catch me if you can (catch), catch me if you can (catch)

Champagne For My Friends, Real Pain For Sham Friends

You are a getaway car, a rush of blood to the head
But me, I'm just the covers on top of your bed
You steer away in a rear view mirror, you make my head swim
I keep you warm and won't ask you where you've been

With your backless black dress soaked to the skin
When it's said and done they're all scrambling
And we're friends, we're friends
Just because we move units

Strike us like matches, cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame
At least everyone is trying, everyone is shining
Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame

The sounds of this small town make my ears hurt (make my ears hurt)
Oh yeah, you caught me. But I caught you way worse
They say, "You want a war? You've got a war."
But who are you fighting for?
The tides out, the ship's run aground
We drown traitors in shallow water

With your backless black dress soaked to the skin
When it's said and done they're all scrambling
And we're friends, we're friends
Just because we move units

Everyone is trying, everyone is shining
Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame

Chicago is So Two Years Ago

My heart is on my sleeve
Wear it like a bruise or blackeye
My badge, my witness
That means that I believed
Every single lie you said

Cause every pane of glass that your pebbles tap negates the pains I went through to avoid you
and every little pat on the shoulder for attention fails to mention I still hate you

But there's a light on in chicago
And I know I should be home
All the colors of the street signs..
They remind me of the pickup truck out in front of your neighbor's house

She took me down and said:
"Boys like you are overrated. so save your breath."
Loaded words and loaded friends
Are loaded guns to our heads

Cause every pane of glass that your pebbles tap negates the pains I went through to avoid you
And every little pat on the shoulder for attention fails to mention I still hate you

But there's a light on in chicago
And I know I should be home
All the colors of the street signs..
They remind me of the pickup truck out in front of your neighbor's house

You want apologies
Girl, you might hold your breath
Until your breathing stops forever, forever
(...every pane of glass) the only thing you'll get
Is this curse on your lips:
(every pane of) I hope they taste of me forever

And there's a light on in chicago (every pane of glass)
And I know I should be home (every pane of)
All the colors of the street signs.. (every pane of glass!)
They remind me of the pickup truck out in front of your neighbor's

With every breath I wish your body will be broken again, again
With every breath I wish your body would be broken again, again
With every breath I wish your body will be broken again, again
With every breath I wish your body would be broken again

Coffee's For Closers

I-I-I-I cant explain a thing.
No I-I-I-I want everything.
To change and stay the same,
The sun doesn't care about anyone
Or anything.
Now come together
Come apart, only get lonely
When you read the charts

And oh baby
when they made me, they broke the mold
Girls used to follow me around
Then I got cold

Now fly your cameras in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care

I will never believe in anything again.
I will never believe in anything again.
Well, change will come,
Oh change will come.
I will never believe in anything again.

We will never believe again
Kickdrum beating in my chest again
we will never believe again
Preach your lecture to a microphone stand (off)

Oh im a mascot for what you've become
And I -I -I love the mayhem more than the love.

And oh baby
When they made me, they broke the mold
Girls used to follow me around
Then I got cold.

Now fly your cameras in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care

I will never believe in anything again.
I will never believe in anything again.
Well, change will come,
Oh change will come.
I will never believe in anything again.

We will never believe again
kickdrum beating in my chest again
we will never believe again
Preach your lecture to a microphone stand (off)

Oh fly your cameras in the air,
And wave 'em cause I just don't care
Fly your cameras in the air,
And wave 'em cause I just don't care

I will never believe in anything again.
I will never believe in anything again.
Oh well, change will come,
Oh change will come.
I will never believe in anything again.
I will never believe in anything again.
Ohohoh, change will come,
Oh change will come.
I will never believe in anything again.

We will never believe again
Kickdrum beating in my chest again
We will never believe again
Preach your lecture to a microphone stand (off)
We will never believe again
Get drunk baby we just depend on
We will never believe again
Preach your lecture to a microphone stand (off)

We will never believe again.

Dance, Dance

She says she's no good with words but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out
"A joke of a romantic" or stuck to my tongue
Weighed down with words too over-dramatic
Tonight it's "it can't get much worse"
Vs. "no one should ever feel like.."

I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by

[Whispered:]</i> We're going into D-Minor

Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

You always fold just before you're found out
Drink up its last call
Last resort
But only the first mistake and I...

I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by

Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress, love

Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress (mattress, mattress)
I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me

Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead

Dance this is the way they'd love (way they'd love)
Dance this is the way they'd love (way they'd love)
Dance this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance

Dead on Arrival

I hope this is the last time,
'Cause I'd never say no to you
This conversation's been dead on arrival
And there's no way to talk to you
This conversation's been dead on,

A rivalry goes so deep
Between me and this loss of sleep over you

This is side one,
Flip me over
I know I'm not your favorite record
The songs you grow to like never stick at first
So I'm writing you a chorus,
And here is your verse

No, it's not the last time,
'Cause I'd never say no to you
This conversation's still dead on arrival
And there's no way to talk to you
When you're dead on,

A rivalry goes so deep
Between me and this loss of sleep over you

This is side one,
Flip me over
I know I'm not your favorite record
The songs you grow to like never stick at first
So I'm writing you a chorus,
And here is your...

(Whoo!)

This is side one,
Flip me over
I know I'm not your favorite record
So...

This is side one,
Flip me over
This is side one,
Flip me over
I know I'm not your favorite record
The songs you grow to like never stick at first
So I'm writing you a chorus,
And here is your verse
Here is your...

Death Valley

I wanna see your animal side
Let it all out
I wanna see the dirt
Under your skin
I need your broken promises

I want the guts and glory baby
This town is wasted and alone

Cause we are alive
Here in death valley
But don't take love off the table yet
Cause tonight
Tonight it's just fire alarms and losing you
We love a lot
So we only lose a little
We are alive

I wanna see your animal side
Let it all out
Oh there you go; undress to impress
You can wear the crown but you're no princess
Let's put the "D" in dirt now baby
Let's get you wasted and alone

Cause we are alive
Here in death valley
But don't take love off the table yet
Cause tonight
Tonight it's just fire alarms and losing you
We love a lot
So we only lose a little
We are alive

We're gonna die
It's just a matter of time
Hard times come
Good times go
I'm either gone in an instant
Or here til the bitter end
I never know
What I've got will make you feel more alive
I'll be your favorite drug I will get you high
I will get you high

We are alive
Here in death valley
But don't take love off the table yet
Cause tonight
Tonight it's just fire alarms and losing you
We love a lot
So we only lose a little
We are alive
We are alive

Disloyal Order of Watter Buffaloes

I'm coming apart at the seams
Pitching myself for leads in other people's dreams
Now buzz, buzz, buzz
Doc, there's a hole where something was
Doc, there's a hole where something was

Fell out of bed
Butterfly bandage, but don't worry
You'll never remember, your head is far too blurry
Put him in the back of a squad car
Restrain that man
He needs his head put through a catscan
Hey editor, I'm undeniable
Hey doctor, I'm certifiable

I'm a loose bolt of a complete machine
What a match, I'm half-doomed and you're semi-sweet
So boycott love
Detox just to retox
And I'd promise you anything for another shot at life
Imperfect boys with their perfect lives
Nobody wants to hear you sing about tragedy

Little girl
You got me staring odd
Or was that just a telescopic camera nod
P-p-p-painted dolls
In highway truckstop stalls
Lot lizard scales cool your nightlife moods
All the rookies leave your badge and your gun on the desk
When you leave the room

(I'm a) I'm a loose (loose bolt) bolt of a complete machine
What a match, I'm half doomed and you're semi-sweet
Boycott love
Detox just to retox
And I'd promise you anything
For another shot at life.
Imperfect boys with their perfect lives
Nobody wants to hear you sing about tragedy

(Detox just to retox)
So boycott love (Boycott love)
Boycott love (Boycott love)
So boycott love (Boycott love)

And I'd promise you anything
For another shot at life.
Imperfect boys with their perfect lives
Nobody wants to hear you sing about tragedy
(Nobody wants to hear you sing about tragedy)
Nobody wants to hear you sing about tragedy
(Nobody wants to hear you sing about tragedy)

Does Your Husband Know?

Mr Sandman showing his beam, when he walks into the room the walls lean in to listen
Surf out blank waves, clicking back and forth like old headlights, sniffing bottled you again
Head like a steel trap, wish I didn't, I didn't, I didn't,
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I don't
Just want to be a footnote in someone else's happiness

Does your husband know the way that the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?
Does he know the way, does he know the way of the quick lips that would convince me to call it a night?

I will never end up like him
Behind my back, I already am
Keep a calendar, this way you will always know

The last time you came through,
Oh darling, I know what you're going through
The last time you came through,
Oh darling, oh darling, oh darling

Tempest in a teacup,
Get unique
Peroxide Princess shine like shark teeth
It's a sign, (it's a sign)
It's a sign, (it's a sign)
It's a sign, what if you peaked early

Does your husband know the way that the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?
Does he know the way, does he know the way of the quick lips that would convince me to call it a night?

Does he, does he know the way to worship our love?
Does your husband know the way that the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?

Well, I will never end up like him
Behind my back, I already am
Keep a calender, this way you will always know

The last time you came through,
Oh darling, I know what you're going through
The last time you came through,
Oh darling, oh darling, oh darling

Does your husband know? Does your husband know? Does your husband know?
Oh oh oh, whoa-oh
Does he know? Does he know, does he know?
Whoa-ah-ah-ah-ah, oh oh oh

I will never end up like him
Behind my back I already am
Keep a calender, this way you will always know

The last time you came through,
Oh darling, I know what you're going through
The last time you came through,
Oh darling, I know what you're going through

Don't You Know Who I Think I Am?

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

A penny for your thoughts but a dollar for your insights
Or a fortune for your disaster
I'm just a painter and I'm drawing a blank

We only want to sing you to sleep
In your bedroom speakers, whoa
We need umbrellas on the inside
Get me just right

They say quitters never win
But we walk the plank on a sinking ship
There's a world outside of my front door
That gets off on being down

Oh oh oh oh

I could learn to pity fools as I'm the worst of all
And I can't stop feeling sorry for myself
Whoa

We only want to sing you to sleep
In your bedroom speakers, whoa
We need umbrellas on the inside
Get us right

They say quitters never win
But we walk the plank on a sinking ship
There's a world outside of my front door
That gets off on being down
They say quitters never win
But we walk the plank on a sinking ship
There's a world outside of my front door
That gets off on being down

We only want to sing you to sleep
(In your bedroom speakers, whoa whoa)
We only want to sing you to sleep

They say quitters never win
But we walk the plank on a sinking ship
There's a world outside of my front door
That gets off on being down
They say quitters never win
But we walk the plank, and we walk the plank
There's a world outside of my front door
That gets off on being down

Broken down on memory lane
Alone together, we're alone (Woah)
We're broken down on memory lane
Alone together, we're alone

Oh oh oh oh

Fame Infamy

I'm a preacher sweating in the pew
For the salvation I'm bringing you
I'm a salesman, I'm selling you hooks and plans
And myself making demands

When I'm home alone I just dance by myself
And you pull my head so close, volume goes with the truth
Signing off "I'm alright in bed but I'm better with a pen"
The kid was alright but it went to his head

I am God's gift but why would he bless me with
Such wit without a conscience equipped
I'm addicted to the way I feel when I think of you, woah
"There's too much green to feel blue"

When I'm home alone I just can't stop myself
And you pull my head so close, volume goes with the truth
Signing off "I'm alright in bed but I'm better with a pen"
The kid was alright but it went to his head

When I'm home alone I just can't stop myself
And you pull my head so close, volume goes with the truth
Signing off "I'm alright in bed but I'm better with a pen"
I'm alright in bed but I'm better with a pen
I'm alright in bed but I'm better with a pen
The kid was alright but it went to his head! Whoa!

Fellowship of the Nerd

This might just be a waste of time,
But there's no one I'd rather,
Waste my time with than all my best friends,
To stop this horror

We'll all take turns not for the worst
We're all has-beens and never-weres
We're all in the back singing "Roxanne"
Just watching life pass us by (Pass us by)

As if we had enough to try to kiss her
Enough to make up for lost time
Enough to make up for lost time

We've been down, we've been out, we've been hanging round
Take your passes to no direction, yeah
Stop moving, get me out of this one horse town
Waste this night

Whoo!
We've been down, we've been out, we've been hanging round
Take your passess to no direction, yeah
Stop moving, get me out of this one horse town
Waste this night, waste this night

Formula For Love

I'm trying not to wonder what you're doing now and it still hurts somehow
Our pictures disappeared with communications down and I'm living out of town
But the formula for love was found to be untrue - I wait for you
To call me up someday and tell me that you're wrong-it's been too long
And the formula for love was found to be untrue - I wait for you
Don't try to tell me that my love for you was wrong
And don't try to tell me that you knew it all along
You never loved, you don't know how
And I feel bad for you right now

I'm trying not to wonder whose heart you'll break this time-
You can bet it won't be mine

From Now on We are Enemies

I just want to be better than your
Your head's only medicine
I just want to be better than your
Your head's only medicine

A downward spiral just a pirouette
Getting worse til there's nothing left
What good comes of something when I'm
Just the ghost of nothing, nothing

I'm just the man on the balcony singing
"Nobody will ever remember me"
Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your knees

Lunatic of a god or a god of a lunatic?
Oh, their faces are dancing
They're dancing til, til they can't stand it
A composer but never composed
Singing the symphonies of the overdosed
A composer but never composed, singing:
"I only want what I can't have"

Heralded as a king before I had a birthday
With double (double) digits (digits)
Fit the crown to my head but I was only a kid
(Yeah I was only a kid) yeah I was only a kid
Hey I'm just the man on the balcony singing:
"Nobody will ever remember me"
Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your knees

I just want to be better than your
Your head's only medicine
I just want to be better than your
Your head's only medicine

I'm just the man on the balcony singing:
"Nobody will ever remember me"
Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your knees
I'm just the man on the balcony singing:
"Nobody will ever remember me"
Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your knees

Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying

This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters
But we never stood a chance
And I'm not sure if it matters
If you are the shores, I am the waves begging for big moons
I’m mailing letters to addresses in a ghost town
(your secret's out)

I know this hurts, it was meant to (it was meant to)
Your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one
And it's mind over you don't, don't matter

This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters
But it must be said again that all us boys are just screaming
Into microphones for attention
Because we're just so bored
We never knew that you would pick it apart, oh
I'm falling apart to songs about hips and hearts
(your secret's out)

I know this hurts, it was meant to (it was meant to)
Your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one
And it's mind over you don't, don't matter

I used to obsess over living,
Now I only obsess over you
Tell me you'd like boys like me better
In the dark lying on top of you
This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters <i>[x4]

I know this hurts, it was meant to (it was meant to)
Your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one
And it's mind over you don't, don't, don't, don't matter

[Talking:]
From day one I talked about getting out
But not forgetting about
How my worst fears are letting out
He said why put a new address
On the same old loneliness
When breathing just passes the time
Until we all just get old and die
Now talking's just a waste of breath
And living's just a waste of death
And why put a new address
On the same old loneliness
And this is you and me
And me and you
Until we've got nothing left

G.I.N.A.S.F.S.

I've loved everything about you that hurts
So let me see your moves
Let me see your moves
Lips pressed close to mine
True blue

But the prince of any falling empire knows that
Everybody wants
Everybody wants
To drive on through the night if it's a drive back home

Things aren't the same anymore
Some nights it gets so bad
He almost picked up the phone

Trade baby blues for wide-eyed browns
I sleep with your old shirts and walk through this house in your shoes
I know it's strange

It's a strange way of saying that I know "I'm supposed to love you"
"I'm supposed to love you"

Whoa-oh-oh

I've already given up on myself twice
Third time is the charm
Third time is the charm

Threw caution to the wind but I've got a lousy arm
And I've traced your shadows on the wall
Now I kiss them whenever I'm down
Whenever I'm down

Figured on not figuring myself out

Things aren't the same anymore
Some nights it gets so bad
I almost pick up the phone

Trade baby blues for wide-eyed browns
I sleep with your old shirts and walk through this house in your shoes
I know it's strange

It's a strange way of saying that I know "I'm supposed to love you"
"I'm supposed to love you"

Whoa-oh-oh

I'm under a bad sign
You saved my life
That night on the roof of your hotel
Cross my heart and hope to die splinter from the headboard in my eye
Photo-proofed kisses I remember so well

Trade baby blues for wide-eyed browns
I sleep with your old shirts and walk through this house in your shoes
I know it's strange

It's a strange way of saying that I know "I'm supposed to love you"
"I'm supposed to love you"

Whoa-oh-oh

Golden

How cruel is the golden rule?
When the lives we lived are only golden-plated
And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me
Though I carried karats for everyone to see

And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies
And all the lovers with no time for me
And all of the mothers raise their babies
To stay away from me

Tongues on the sockets of electric dreams
Where the sewage of youth drowned the spark of my teens
And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me (too heavy for me)
Though I carried karats for everyone to see (everyone to see)

And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies
And all the lovers with no time for me
And all of the mothers raise their babies
To stay away from me

And pray they don't grow up to be

Gone Yesterday

This night seems to last longer
With every blink of an eye

Gone yesterday
There's no time left for me now
We've done all we can
Time just seems to run out

I just can't wait for things
To get back in the swing of good things to come

Gone yesterday
There's no time left for me now
We've done all we can
Time just seems to run out

Grand Theft Autumn

Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town

When I wake up,
I'm willing to take my chances on
The hope I forget
That you hate him more than you notice
I wrote this for you (for you, so)

You need him
I could be him
I could be an accident but I'm still trying
That's more than I can say for HIM

Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town

Someday I'll appreciate in value
Get off my ass and call you
But in the meantime I'll sport my brand new fashion
Of waking up with pants off at 4:00 in the afternoon

You need him
I could be him
I could be an accident but I'm still trying
That's more than I can say for HIM

1-2-3-4!

Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town

(Won't find out)
He won't find out
(Won't find out)
He won't find out

Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town

Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman (he won't find out)
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town

Grenade Jumper

My heart ticks in beat with these kids that I grew up with.
Living like life's going out of style.
And you came to watch us play...like a "Big shot talent,"
But at the end of the day you know where we come from
And where we call home.

Hey Chris, you were our only friend.
And I know this is belated, we love you back.

They'll say it's not worth it.
So we'll leave this town in ruins.
Living like life's going out of style.
And you came to watch us play...like a "Big shot talent,"
But at the end of the day you know those busted lips
We take back home.

Hey Chris, you were our only friend.
And I know this is belated, we love you back.
So,
Hey Chris, you were our only friend.
And I know this is belated, we love you back.

I know you would be there either way
I'm so glad it seems like these times will never fade
I know you would be there either way
(So I'll tell everyone how much this means, how much this means to me)
I'm so glad it seems like these times will never fade (So I'll tell everyone...)

Hey Chris, you were our only friend.
And I know this is belated, we love you back.
Go!
Hey Chris, you were our only friend.
And I know this is belated, we love you back.

I know you would be there either way
I'm so glad it seems like these times will never fade
I know you would be there either way (Hey Chris, you were our only friend)
I'm so glad it seems like these times will never fade (And I know this is belated, we love you back)

Growing Up

I dried my eyes, now I crust them with sleep
I'll crust them over
She begged me "don't hate me"
She spun me a story
Where winning looks like losing
And I'm winning every time
So thread spools sweetie, get ready
Until my silk is sold

Growing up
Growing up
Growing up
Yeah
I'll buy myself a new
Yeah
I'll buy myself a new

I've dried my eyes, now it's "rushmore"
I'm deep with futures like Chicago
Glenview never meant a thing to me
She never meant a thing to me
Except for putting idealists in a body bag
Forget it
I'll go out tonight to piss on her doorstep
And listen to the misfits "where eagles dare" to swallow whole

Up
Growing up
Growing up

Go!

Whoa-oh-oh
I guess I'm my own better half
Whoa-oh-oh
I guess I'm my own better half
Whoa, yeah
I guess I'm on my own
Yeah, yeah
I guess I'm on my own
Yeah
I guess I'm on my own
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I guess I'm on my own

Hand of God

Been gone more days this year than I have been home
Trading friends for trips to the coast
This hotel room feels more like a tom

It's not gossip if it's the truth
I'm sick of always writing songs for you to slit your wrists to

So which is it: the boy who writes the songs or the boy who's in them?
Who's the girl? Is this truth or is he writing fiction?

Hand over my heart, gun to my head
I swear to God I'm through with this
I am the worst liar I know

It's not gossip if it's the truth
I'm sick of always writing songs for you to slit your wrists to

So which is it: the boy who writes the songs or the boy who's in them?
Who's the girl? Is this truth or is he writing fiction?
Which is it: the boy who writes the songs or the boy who's in them?
Who's the girl? Is this truth or is he writing fiction?

(So which is it?) So which is it? Which is it? (So which is it?)
(So which is it?) So which is it? Which is it? (So which is it?)
(So which is it?) So which is it? Which is it? (So which is it?)
(So which is it?) So which is it? Which is it?

Who's the girl? Is this truth or is he writing fiction?
Which is it: the boy who writes the songs or the boy who's in them?
Who's the girl? Is this truth or is he writing fiction?

Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Bet

Mr Sandman showing his beam
When he walks into the room the walls lean in to listen
Surfed out brain waves flick back and forth like old headlights sniffing model glue again
Head like a steel trap
Wish I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't
I don't just want to be a footnote in someone else's happiness

Does your husband know the way that the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?
Does he know the way
Does he know the way
Of the crickets that would convince me to call it a night?

But I will never end up like him
Behind my back I already am
Keep a calendar, this way you will always know
The last time you came through
Oh darling I know what you're going through
The last time you came through
Oh darling
Oh darling
Oh darling

Aw
Tempest in a teacup
Get unique
Peroxide princes shine like shark teeth
It's a sign (it's a sign)
It's a sign (it's a sign)
It's a sign-what if you peaked early?

Does your husband know the way that the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?
Does he know the way
Does he know the way
Of the crickets that would convince me to call it a night?
Does he
Does he know the way I worship
Our love?
Does your husband know the way that the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?

Does your husband know?
Does your husband know?
Does your husband know?
Does he know, does he know, does he know? Oh oh

But I will never end up like him
Behind my back I already am
Keep a calendar, this way you will always know
The last time you came through
Oh darling I know what you're going through

Homesick At Space Camp

Landing on a runway in Chicago and I'm grounding all my dreams of ever really seeing California, because I know what's in between is something sensual in such non-conventional ways

Tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't say(2X)
(Tonight im writing you) A million miles away
Tonight is all about "We miss you"
Tonight is all about "We miss you" now

And I can't forget your style or your cynicism, somehow it was like you were the first to listen to everything we said
My smile's an open wound without youand my hands are tied to pages inked to bring you back

Tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't say
(tonight im writing you) A million miles away
Tonight is all about "We miss you"
Tonight is all about "We miss you" now

These friends are, new friends are golden

Honorable Mention

I served out my detention
And in the end I got an honorable mention
In the movie of my life, starring you
Instead of me
When the moonlight, hits your bright eyes I go blind
And maybe next time
I'll remember not to tell you something stupid like I'll never leave your side
Like the oldest movie I ever saw was the one we wrote together
I said I hate you but I?d never change a thing
I can be your john cusack
I burnt out
My defensive
Now everything I say is taken as offensive

Hum Hallelujah

It's all a game of this or that, now versus then
Better off against worse for wear
And you're someone who knows someone who knows someone I once knew
And I just want to be a part of this

The road outside my house is paved with good intentions
Hired a construction crew, 'cause it's hell on the engine
And you are the dreamer and we are the dream
I could write it better than you ever felt it

So hum hallelujah,
Just off the key of reason
I thought I loved you
It was just how you looked in the light
A teenage vow in a parking lot
"Till tonight do us part"
I sing the blues and swallow them too

My words are my faith to hell with our good name
A remix of your guts-your insides X-rayed
And one day we'll get nostalgic for disaster
We're a bull, your ears are just a china shop

I love you in the same way, there's a chapel in a hospital
One foot in your bedroom and one foot out the door
Sometimes we take chances, sometimes we take pills
I could write it better than you ever felt it

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu
(Hum hallelujah (Hum hallelujah), hum hallelujah (Hum hallelujah))

A teenage vow in a parking lot
"Till tonight do us part"
I sing the blues and swallow them too

So hum hallelujah,
Just off the key of reason
I thought I loved you
It was just how you looked in the light
A teenage vow in a parking lot (Hum hallelujah)
"Till tonight do us part"
Love in a parking lot (Hum hallelujah)
"Till tonight do us part"
A teenage vow in a parking lot
"Till tonight do us part"
I sing the blues and swallow them too

I Don't Care

Say my name, and his in the same breath,
I dare you to say they taste the same,
Let the leaves fall off in the summer
And let December glow in flames (flames)

Brace myself and let go,
Start it over again in Mexico
These friends, they don't love you
They just love the hotel suites, now

I don't care what you think
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

Oh, take a chance, let your body get a tolerance,
I'm not a chance, but a heat wave in your pants
Pull a breath like another cigarette,
Pawn shop, I'm trading up (trading up)

I'm the oracle in my chest,
Let the guitar scream like a fascist,
Sweat it out, shut your mouth,
Free love on the streets, but
In the alley and I ain't that cheap, now

I don't care what you think,
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

Said-a, I don't care just a-what you think,
As long as it's about me, you said-a
I don't care just what you think,
As long as it's about me, you said-a
I don't care (I don't care)
You said I don't care (I don't care)
Said I don't care,
I don't care
I don't care (I don't care), I said-a
I don't care

I don't care what you think,
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

I Slept With Someone in Fall O

I found the cure to growing older
And you're the only place that feels like home
Just so you know, you'll never know
And some secrets weren't meant to be told
But I found the cure to growing older

I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies and friends
And I am sorry my conscience called in sick again
And I've got arrogance down to a science
Oh, and I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies and friends now

Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
Can't cover it up, can't cover it up

So douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So, so fitting, so fitting of the way you are
Can't cover it up, can't cover it up, no

Find a safe place, brace yourself, bite your lips
I'm sending your fingernails and empty bottles you've sipped
Back to your family 'cause I know you will be missed
So you can find a safe place, brace yourself

They call kids like us vicious and carved out of stone
But for what we've become, we just feel more alone
Always weigh what I've got against what I left
So progress report, I am missing you to death

Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
Can't cover it up, can't cover it up

So douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So, so fitting, so fitting of the way you are
Can't cover it up, can't cover it up, no

Someone old, no one new
Feeling borrowed always blue
Someone old, no one new
Feeling borrowed always blue

Someone old, no one new
Feeling borrowed always blue
Someone old, no one new
Always borrowed, always you

I've found the cure to growing older
I've found the cure to growing older

So douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
Can't cover it up, can't cover it up

I Write Sins Not Tragedies

Oh,
Well imagine,
As I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor,
And I can't help but to hear,
No, I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words:

"What a beautiful wedding! What a beautiful wedding," says a bridesmaid to the waiter,
"And, yes, but what a shame, what a shame the poor groom's bride is a whore"

I chime in with a,
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing the Goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality
I chime in,
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing the Goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of

Oh, Well in fact,
Well I'll look at this way,
I mean technically our marriage is saved,
Well this calls for,
A toast so,
Pour the champagne

Oh! Well in fact,
Well I'll look at it this way,
I mean technically our marriage is saved,
Well this calls for a toast,
So pour the champagne, pour the champagne!

I chime in,
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing the Goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality
I chime in,
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing the Goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of
Poise and Rationality! Again

I'm Alive And Miserable, Thanks For Asking

Walking down these empty streets
Living among all those trips and creeps
Making me think about all the hearts we broke
Remembering life makes me cold
Thinking about you, we were all I had
Life is just getting to hard
And you were getting in the way
Nothing can make me heal these open wounds
But I love the enjoyment of watching you suffer
Today is the day
You said
And tomorrow's the next
Baby, you can't make it end with a simple smile
And a shrug of the shoulders
I know I said I loved you
But you were putting me down
Now my life is even more worthless
Because you said to me...
Today is the day
And tomorrow's the next
Baby, you can't make it end with a simple smile
And a shrug of the shoulders
(sceamo)- say your goodbyes
and say your hellos
don't try to hide it, 'cause everyone knows!
make the suffering last
'cause this is just beginning
(end screamo)-
Walking down these empty streets
Living among all those trips and creeps
I'm thinking about all the hearts we broke
But it's never okay, 'cause
Today is the day
And tomorrow's the next!

I'm Like a Lawyer With the Way I'm Always Getting You Off

Last year's wishes are this year's apologies
Every last time I come home
I take my last chance
To burn a bridge or two
I only keep myself this sick in the head
'Cause I know how the words get to you (off)

We're the new face of failure
Prettier and younger, but not any better off
Bulletproof loneliness
At best, at best

Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
[2x]

Collect the bad habits that you couldn't bear to keep
Out of the woods but I love
A tree I used to lay beneath
Kiss teeth, stained red
From a sour bottle baby girl
With eyes the size of baby worlds

We're the new face of failure
Prettier and younger, but not any better off
Bulletproof loneliness
At best, at best

Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
[2x]

Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
(honeymoon)
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
[2x]

The best way to make it through
With hearts and wrists in tact
Is to realize two out of three ain't bad

Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you

Me and you
(Honeymoon)
Setting in a honeymoon
(Honeymoon)
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
(Honeymoon)
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
(Honeymoon)
If I woke up next to you

I've Got a Dark Alley And a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut

Joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of "just friends"
We're the kids who feel like dead ends
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
I took a shot and didn't even come close
At trust and love and hope
And the poets are just kids who didn't make it
Who never had it at all

And the record won't stop skipping
And the lies just won't stop slipping
And besides my reputation's on the line
We can fake it for the airwaves
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
From comparing myself to everyone else around me

Please put the doctor on the phone because I'm not making any sense
Blame everyone but me for this mess
And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart
We never seemed so far
I'm hopelessly hopeful, that you're just hopeless enough
But we never had it at all

It's Hard To Say

I speak fast and I'm not gonna repeat myself
Nooo
So listen carefully to every word I say:
"I'm the only one who's gonna get away with making excuses today,

You're appealing to emotions that I simply do not have"
Blackmailed myself
Cause I ain't got anyone else
"This is a stick up
Give us all your inspiration"
I've got the red carpet blues baby

"So put your hands in the air and don't make a sound
But don't get the wrong idea
We're gonna shoot you
We're gonna shoot you
And there's nothing in your head or pocket, throat or wallet
That could change just how this goes
No
We're gonna shoot you
We're gonna shoot you"

When I said that I'd return to you I meant more like a relapse
Now and again I think "His and her's" "For better or worse"
But the only ring I want buried with me are the ones around my eyes

"You're appealing to emotions that I simply do not have"
I've got the red carpet blues baby

“Put your hands in the air and don't make a sound
But don't get the wrong idea
We're gonna shoot you
We're gonna shoot you
And there's nothing in your head or pocket, throat or wallet
That could change just how this goes"
And everyone shakes to the beat with a barrel down their throat

But don't get the wrong idea
We're gonna shoot you
We're gonna shoot you

It's Not a Side Effect of the Cocaine. I Am Thinking It Must Be Love

Why can you read me like no one else?
I hide behind these words
But I'm coming out
I wish I kept them behind my tongue
I hide behind these words
But I'm coming out

Put your hand between
An aching head and an aching world
We'll make them so jealous
We'll make them hate us
An aching head and an aching world
We'll make them so jealous
We'll make them so jealous

Always you make my stomach turn
And all the long drives
With my friends blur
And I wish I kept them inside my mind
I hide behind these words

And think of all the places
Where you've been lost
And then foundout
In between my sheets
In between the rights and the wrongs

Put your hand between
An aching head and an aching world
We'll make them so jealous
We'll make them hate us
Aching head and an aching world
Think of all the places
Where you've been lost and foundout

Just One Yesterday

I thought of angels
Choking on their halos
Get them drunk on rose water
See how dirty I can get them
Pulling out their fragile teeth
And clip their tiny wings

[Bridge: Patrick Stump & Foxes] x2
Anything you say can and will be held against you
So only say my name
It will be held against you

[Chorus: Patrick Stump & Foxes]
If heaven's grief brings hell's rain
Then I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
(I know I'm bad news)
For just one yesterday
(I saved it all for you)
I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way
Still I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
(I know I'm bad news)
For just one yesterday
(I saved it all for you)

Lake Effect Kid

Sometimes
When I'm in heaven
I get forgetful of the earth, woah oh
Until I hear you bickering like boys and birds
The heat is on
Fixed up, and the sheet is down

I got a pocket full of deadliness
Opium den mother, then forget my head
With the dead-rid coke, unsteadiness
Faux blondes have less fun

Pour more in my head my
Back to the city I grew up in
Again and again and again
Forever a lake effect kid

I got the skyline in my veins
Forget your night times
Summer love on a gurney with a squeaky wheel
And joke us, joke us
Till lake shore drive comes back into focus
I just want to come back to love
Spark until you hit it
Keep you warm at night

I got a pocket full of deadliness
Opium den mother, then forget my head
With the dead-rid coke, unsteadiness
Faux blondes have less fun (fun)

Pour more in my head
Back to the city I grew up in
Again and again and again
Forever a lake effect kid [x4]

Last Good Part of Town

(chorus)

Where is your boy tonight,
I hope, he is a gentlemen
Maybe he wont find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town

When I wake up
Im willing to take my chances on
Who buy the gift that you hate
In more than you know is
I wrote this for you
(for you girl)

You need him
I should be him
I could be your answer but im still tryin
Thats more than I can say for him

(chorus)

Where is your boy tonight,
I hope, he is a gentlemen
Maybe he wont find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town

Something I would read to you and value
Get on my hands and call you
The meantime will sport my
When you facisis
When waking up with pants off
At 4 in the afternoon

You need him
I should be him
I could be your answer but im still tryin
Thats more than I can say for him

1, 2, 3, 4!

(chorus)

Where is your boy tonight,
I hope, he is a gentlemen
Maybe he wont find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town

(where follow)
What he would find out
(where follow)
What he would find out

(chorus)

Where is your boy tonight,
I hope, he is a gentlemen
Maybe he wont find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town

(chorus)
Where is your boy tonight,
I hope, he is a gentlemen (find out)
Maybe he wont find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town

Love Will Tear Us Apart

When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And resentment rides high
But emotion won't grow
And we're changing our ways,
Taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart
Again [x4]

Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect run so dry
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again [x4]

Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings exposed
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just can't function no more?
But love, love will tear us apart again [x7]

Lullaby

Honey is for bees, silly bear
Besides, there's jelly beans everywhere
It's not what it seems
In the land of dreams
Don't worry your head,
Just go to sleep

It doesn't matter
How you feel
Life is just a ferris wheel
It's always up and down,
Don't make a sound

When you wake up,
The world will come around
When you wake up,
The world will come around

It's just the sweet weather
And the peacock feathers
In the morning,
It will all be better
It's not what it seems
In the land of dreams
Don't worry your head,
Just go to sleep

When you wake up,
The world will come around
When you wake up,
The world will come around

Honey is for bees, silly bear
Besides, there's jelly beans everywhere
It's not what it seems
In the land of dreams
Don't worry your head,
Just go to sleep

Miss Missing You

Don't panic
No, not yet
I know I'm the one you want to forget
Cue all the love to leave my heart
It's time for me to fall apart

Now you're gone
But I'll be okay
Your hot whiskey eyes
Have fanned the flames
Maybe I'll burn a little brighter tonight
Let the fire breathe me back to life

[Chorus]
Baby, you were my picket fence
I miss missing you now and then
Chlorine kissed summer skin
I miss missing you now and then
Sometimes before it gets better
The darkness gets bigger
The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger
Oh
We're fading fast
I miss missing you now and then

Moving Pictures

Last night I saw a movie
And I thought about many movies I've seen at your house
Excuse me if I'm rude
But I'd rather that we just strike from the record ones I'd see again without you
Leaning on my shoulder
Distracting me from the plotline

Where can I go when I want you around
But I can't stand to be around you
"Go home"
I'll walk myself to you
I'll walk myself away from here

"Go to hell" is all I thought for seven weeks
But I grew out of that phase looking at these broken photographs of people
Looking glossed just like the way I still remember a summer ago

Where can I go when I want you around
But I can't stand to be around you
"Go home"
I'll walk myself to you
I'll walk myself away from here

"Call me back" I'm pleading with a cork in my head
It wouldn't be the first time
My pillow has been mistaken

Where can I go when I want you around
But I can't stand to be around you
"Go home"
I'll walk myself to you
I'll walk myself away from here

Can't stand to be around you
Around you, around you
Can't stand to be around you
I can't stand, can't stand
To be around you
Around you
Around you
Around you...

My Heart is the Worst Kind of Weapon

I spent most of last night dragging this lake
For the corpses of all my past mistakes
Sell me out - the joke's on you
We are salt - you are the wound
Empty another bottle
And let me tear you to pieces
This is me wishing you
Into the worst situations
I'm the kind of kid
That can't let anything go
But you wouldn't know a good thing
If it came up and slit your throat

Woah [x2]
Ooo
Woah [x2]

Your remorse hasn't fallen on deaf ears
Rather ones that just don't care
Cause I know
That you're in between arms somewhere
Next to heartbeats
Where you shouldn't dare sleep
Now i'll teach you a lesson
For keeping secrets from me

Take your taste back
Peel back your skin
And try to forget how it feels inside
You should try saying no once in a while
Oh once in a while
[x2]

And did you hear the news?
I could dissect you
And gut you on this stage
Not as eloquent as I may have imagined
But it will get the job done (you're done)
Every line is plotted and designed
To leave you standing
On your bedroom window's ledge
And everyone else that it hits
That it gets to
Is nothing more than collateral damage

Take your taste back
Peel back your skin
And try to forget how it feels inside
You should try saying no once in a while
Oh once in a while

My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light 'Em Up)

Be careful making wishes in the dark
Can't be sure when they've hit their mark
Besides, in the mean meantime I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart

I'm in details with the devil
You know the world can't ever get me on my level
I just got to get you out the cage
I'm a young lover's rage
Gonna need a spark to ignite

My songs know what you did in the dark
So light 'em up-up-up
Light 'em up-up-up
Light 'em up-up-up
I'm on fire

So light 'em up-up-up
Light 'em up-up-up
Light 'em up-up-up
I'm on fire
Whoa (in the dark, dark)
Whoa (in the dark, dark)

The writers keep writing what they write
Somewhere another pretty vein just dies
I've got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see
That you're the antidote to everything except for me
A constellation of tears on your lashes
Burn everything you love then burn the ashes
In the end everything collides
My childhood spat back out the monster that you see

My songs know what you did in the dark
So light 'em up-up-up
Light 'em up-up-up
Light 'em up-up-up
I'm on fire

So light 'em up-up-up
Light 'em up-up-up
Light 'em up-up-up
I'm on fire
Whoa (in the dark dark)
Whoa (in the dark dark)
