Standing on the edge of a revolution
Forevers a lonely time and the dogs aren′t always
Aren′t always on my mind
Cause I didn′t free them
The scenery is burning me cause I′m still in it
So why don′t you free me
Cause its not my business
What he′s done to me
Control is all you really need
And I guess I had it coming,
my fault for not runnin
I just dressed too tempting
cause your heads fuckin empty
And I can′t believe it
I can′t believe that you didn′t see me
Passing glances fall on me
like screams on deaf ears
They′re all laughing at me
with encouraging cheers.
Well I wanted you
I wanted no one else
I thought it through
I got you to myself
You got off
Every time you got on to me
I got caught up
In favorable slavery
Was it wrong? Was it wrong?
[CHORUS:]
I guess it wasn′t really right
I guess it wasn′t meant to be
It didn′t matter what they said
′Cause we were good in bed
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
for all the wrong reasons
No, it didn′t matter what I tried
It′s just a little hard to leave
When you′re going down on me
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
for all the wrong reasons
Well you know my friends
Well they know your enemies
I′d pretend
Not to hear what they said to me
′Cause I got off
Every time you got on to me
Was it wrong
To go along with insanity?
Was it wrong? Was it wrong?
[CHORUS]
[x4]
I guess it wasn′t what I wanted
Wasn′t really what I thought
Thought it was the day I got
I want it all to go away(x4)
[CHORUS]
Left on an eastbound train, gone first thing this morning
Why′s what′s best for you, always the worst thing for me
When am I gonna learn? Why? Cause I′m tired of hating
When will it be your turn? Why? Cause I′m tired of waiting
No I don′t, no I don′t, no I don′t
Well no I don′t find faith in your forced feelings
Not fooled by your misleadings
Won′t buy this line your selling
Tired of this lie your telling
I won′t, I don′t, no I won′t do this anymore
I won′t, I don′t, no I won′t do this anymore
She says I′m only tellin′ half of it
That′s probably coz there′s only half worth tellin′
And every time I try to laugh it off
That′s when you turn around and wind up yellin′
When am I gonna learn? Why? Cause I′m tired of hating
When will it be your turn? Why? Cause I′m tired of waiting
No I don′t, no I don′t, no I don′t
No I don′t find faith in your forced feelings
Not fooled by your misleadings
Won′t buy this line your selling
Tired of this lie your telling
I won′t, I don′t no I won′t do this anymore
I won′t, I don′t no I won′t do this anymore
She says I′m only tellin′ half of it
That′s probably coz there′s only half worth tellin′
And every time I try to laugh it off
That′s when you turn around and wind up yellin′
When am I gonna learn? Why? Cause I′m tired of hating
When will it be your turn? Why? Cause I′m tired of waiting
No I don′t, no I don′t, no I don′t
No I don′t find faith in your forced feelings
Not fooled by your misleadings
Won′t buy this line your selling
Tired of this lie your telling
I won′t, I don′t no I won′t do this anymore
I won′t, I don′t no I won′t do this anymore

I judge by what she′s wearing
Just how many heads I′m tearing
Off of assholes coming on to her
Each night seems like it′s getting worse
And I wish she′d take the night off
So I don′t have to fight off
Every asshole coming on to her
It happens every night she works
They′ll go and ask the DJ
Find out just what would she say
If they all tried coming on to her
Don′t they know it′s never going to work
They think they′ll get inside her
With every drink they buy her
As they all try coming on to her
This time somebody′s getting hurt
Here comes the next contestant
[CHORUS]
Is that your hand on my girlfriend?
Is that your hand?
I wish you′d do it again
I′ll watch you leave here limping
I wish you′d do it again
I′ll watch you leave here limping
There goes the next contestant
I even fear the ladies
They′re cool but twice as crazy
Just as bad for coming on to her
Don′t they know it′s never going to work
Each time she bats an eyelash
Somebody′s grabbing her ass
Everyone keeps coming on to her
This time somebody′s getting hurt
Here comes the next contestant
[CHORUS]
I′m hating what she′s wearing
Everybody here keeps staring
Can′t wait ′til they get what they deserve
This time somebody′s getting hurt
Here comes the next contestant
[CHORUS]
I wish you′d do it again
Each night seems like it′s getting worse
I wish you′d do it again
This time somebody′s getting hurt
There goes the next contestant
Tell your friends not to think aloud
Until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain
Your voice sounds so hollow
I am not a leader of men
Since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink
Since it′s so hard to swallow
So hard to swallow
So turn the television off
and I will sing a song
And if you suddenly have the urge
You can sing along
I touch your hand, I touch your face
I think the fruit is rotten
Give me lessons on how to breath
Cause I think I′ve forgotten
I think I′ve forgotten
One day, up to a cliff
That overlooked the water
I jumped in to save a girl
It was somebody′s daughter
And now the ring is on my hand
It was given to me by her
To this day we all sit around
And dream of ways to get higher
To get much higher
A thought just broke
I′m relying on today′s joke
It looks like you just punched a hole in
Don′t worry cause it′s not broken
It′s just swollen
On really how much they spend
Well, how about an actual meeting?
Don′t worry cause a little laughing
And you′re bleeding
Well I′m drowning, in your ocean
It′s much cooler, in slow motion
Dont care where youve went
On really how much youve spent
Well its obvious that you bore me
Im not worried cause its five minutes
To your glory
Well I′m drowning, in your ocean
It′s much cooler, in slow motion
Leave it all to me, and I will
Be the one who is here and stands still
Everyone sees your eyes getting wider
Everyone here believes youre a liar
Youre a liar
A thought just broke
I′m relying on today′s joke
It looks like you just punched a hole in
Don′t worry cause it′s not broken
It′s just swollen
Anticipate how you feel from day to day
Since its obvious that you bore me
Im not worried cause its five minutes
To your glory
Leave it all to me, and I will
Be the one who is here and stands still
Everyone sees your eyes getting wider
Everyone here believes youre a liar
Your a liar
I, I′m driving black on black
Just got my license back
I got this feeling in my veins this train is coming off the track
I′ll ask polite if the devil needs a ride
Because the angel on my right ain′t hanging out with me tonight
I′m driving past your house while you were sneaking out
I got the car door opened up so you can jump in on the run
Your mom don′t know that you were missing
She′d be pissed if she could see the parts of you that I′ve been kissing
Screamin′
[CHORUS]
No, we′re never gonna quit
Ain′t nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we′re animals
No, no matter where we go
′Cause everybody knows
We′re just a couple of animals
So come on baby, get in
Get in, just get in
Check out the trouble we′re in
You′re beside me on the seat
Got your hand between my knees
And you control how fast we go by just how hard you wanna squeeze
It′s hard to steer when you′re breathing in my ear
But I got both hands on the wheel while you got both hands on my gears
By now, no doubt that we were heading south
I guess nobody ever taught her not to speak with a full mouth
′Cause this was it, like flicking on a switch
It felt so good I almost drove into the ditch
I′m screamin′
[CHORUS]
So come on baby, get in
Get in, just get in
Look at the trouble we′re in
We were parked out by the tracks
We′re sitting in the back
And we just started getting busy
When she whispered "what was that?"
The wind, I think ′cause no one else knows where we are
And that was when she started screamin′
"That′s my dad outside the car!"
Oh please, the keys, they′re not in the ignition
Must have wound up on the floor while
we were switching our positions
I guess they knew that she was missing
As I tried to tell her dad it was her mouth that I was kissing
Screamin′
[CHORUS]
So come on baby, get in
We′re just a couple of animals
Get in, just get in
Ain′t nothing wrong with it
Check out the trouble we′re in
Get in, just get in
I asked you to stay
But you said there′s no way
I begged-- you call
And you leave me after all
I know I′m not to blame
I know you don′t feel the same
Didn′t even tell me why
You just left me here to die
I stand, I fall, I bounce off these 4 walls
You laugh, you leave
And you leave me here alone,
Is this how its gonna be
It′s fine for you and not for me
Did you even care at all
You stand, I fall
I′m guilty too
forsiring all to you
Well, that′s my one sin
Sorry for giving in
Didn′t mean to waste your time
Thanks for wasting mine
Could have to tried to let me be
Would you just set me free?
Could I pay you not to...
Not like I need to depend upon anyone
Since I can see the lack of need for me to be here at all
One more anthem for the know it all
I won′t be standing up for long I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I′ll be laying out flat on the floor
Like I need to defend my own innocence
So what, I did it, I admit it, and I′m pleading the 5th
One more anthem for the know it all
I won′t be standing up for long I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I′ll be laying out flat on the floor
8 minutes from losing it a little bit
5 minutes your description might be starting to fit
3 to go and I′m forgetting all that I′ve ever known
I won′t be standing up for long I better learn how to crawl
Not like I need to depend upon anyone
Since I can see the lack of need for me to be here at all
One more anthem for the know it all
I won′t be standing up for long I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I′ll be laying out flat on the floor
I can′t stand up at all
Can′t see nothing at all
In ten minutes I′ll be laying out flat on the floor
got to meet the hottie with the million dollar body

I like your pants around your feet
I like the dirt that′s on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you′re looking up at me
You′re like my favourite damn disease
And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can′t say no
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose
Ooooh
And now I know who you are
It wasn′t that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn′t that hard
Just to figure you out
I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you′re not impressed,
While you put me to the test
I like the wine stains on your dress
And I love the way you pass the check
And I love the good times that you wreck
And I love your lack of self respect
While you′re passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck
And now I know who you are
It wasn′t that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn′t that hard
Just to figure you out
I love your pants around your feet
And I love the dirt that′s on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you′re looking up at me
You′re like my favourite damn disease
And I hate the places that we go
And I hate the people that you know
And I hate the way you can′t say no
Too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose
And now I know who you are
It wasn′t that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn′t that hard
Just to figure you out
Crowds that scream at superstars
Where bouncers show they′re battle scars
I′ve been the first to sign on every wall
Down the road and round the bend
We pray to god it never ends
I′ve been, I′ve seen, we′ve screamed to everyone
We′ll see you at the show
If you don′t come we′ll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around with all of us
We′ll go out on the town
And light it up till we burn it down, burn it down
After hours and alcohol
Every club, we′ve seen em all
As long as we don′t need to stand in line
Party scenes and billboard dreams
The ladies love those limousines
You know they′re gonna show up every time
We′ll see you at the show
If you don′t come we′ll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around with all of us
We′ll go out on the town
And light it up till we burn it down, burn it down
Crowds that scream at superstars
Where bouncers show they′re battle scars
I′ve been the first to sign on every wall
Down the road and round the bend
We pray to god it never ends
I′ve been, I′ve seen, we′ve screamed to everyone
We′ll see you at the show
If you don′t come we′ll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around with all of us
We′ll go out on the town
And light it up till we burn it down, burn it down
Light it up till we burn it down
Light it up till we burn it down
Light it up till we burn it down, burn it down
This time, I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life, the one we all dream of
But dreams just aren′t enough
So I′ll be waiting for the real thing, I′ll know it by the feeling
The moment when we′re meeting, will play out like a scene
Straight off the silver screen
So I′ll be holding my own breath, right up ′til the end
Until that moment when, I find the one that I′ll spend forever with
Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There′s gotta be somebody for me like that
Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they′re not alone
There′s somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There′s gotta be somebody for me out there
Tonight, out on the street, out in the moonlight
And dammit this feels too right, it′s just like deja vu
Me standing here with you
So I′ll be holding my own breath, could this be the end
Is it that moment when, I find the one that I′ll spend forever with
Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There′s gotta be somebody for me like that
Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they′re not alone
There′s somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There′s gotta be somebody for me out there
You can′t give up, looking for a diamond in the rough
You never know, when it shows up, make sure you′re holding on
Cause it could be the one, the one you′re waiting on
Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There′s gotta be somebody for me, ohhh
Nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know their not alone
There′s somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There′s gotta be somebody for me out there
Nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
There′s somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There′s gotta be somebody for me out there
Two men
They started walking
Started talking bout better days
One says to the other
We do it all again
Seems I knew I would
And now I found it
Found I got it
I didn′t want this
Somebody help me see
Now I feel it
Feel like I′ve been there
I didn′t need this
Somebody help me breathe
Here we are again
Just face to facing
Each other another day
Who wins
Well who cares
It always ends up the same
Seems I knew I would
And now I found it
Found I got it
I didn′t want this
Somebody help me see
And now I feel it
Feel that I′ve been there
I didn′t need this
Would Somebody help me stand
And now I′ve told them
Already warned them
I didn′t want this
Somebody help me breathe
If I was them
Then I wanna be
What I see
If I could drag my life in a moment
Wanna know do you want me to go
Gonna keep it all from ending
Never stop myself from pretending
That you always knew that I never could
All I ever really wanted was to be the same
Equal treatment never ever comes
and there they go again
All I ever really wanted was to be like you
So perfect
So worthless
If i could take it all back think again
I would
And now I found it
Found I got it
I didn′t want this
Somebody help me see
Now I feel it
Feel that I′ve been there
I didn′t need this
Somebody help me stand
And now I′ve told them
I didn′t want this
I didn′t need this
Would somebody help me breathe
Would somebody help me breathe
Would somebody help me?
Baby′s born on a bathroom floor
Her mother prays that it′ll never cry
But nothing′s wrong you′ve got your prom dress on
When they ask you′ll say "it isn′t mine"
You know there gonna know you lied
Why the hell don′t you throw yourself away?
You know there gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how god ain′t even helping you out
You notice how god ain′t even helping you
Why the hell don′t you throw yourself away?
You know there gonna burn it down
So keep the way you′re feeling anonymous
And hide it all until the day you die
Your secrets safe, at least you thought it was
You can only keep it for a little while
And now you′re terrified
Why the hell don′t you throw yourself away?
You know there gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how god ain′t even helping you out
You notice how god ain′t even helping you
Why the hell don′t you throw yourself away?
You know there gonna burn it down
Baby′s born on a bathroom floor
Her mother prays that it′ll never cry
But nothing′s wrong you′ve got your prom dress on
When they ask you′ll say "it isn′t mine"
Damn you for thinking we would never know
And damn you for thinking we would never mind
Only reason that you made it this far
You never asked him, but you never tried
Why the hell don′t you throw yourself away?
Why the hell don′t you throw yourself away?
You know there gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how god ain′t even helping you out
You notice how god ain′t even helping you
Why the hell don′t you throw yourself away?
You know there gonna burn it down
[Verse 1:]
Yeah the lady and me both agree some days we just don′t get along
But the whiskey and me both agree maybe we both just better off
Well the preacher believes that I′ll meet all of these demons hanging on
But we both know if they don′t, I′ll get lonely, need a few to tag along
[Pre-Chorus:]
Hanging here by a thread
Hear a voice inside my head
[Chorus:]
Lie me beside you every night
And dread the day you might be gone
She said "In case you hadn′t noticed that
Played second fiddle to the bottle for a little too long (no)
And I′m not about to anymore"
[Verse 2:]
Now the wagon I′m in′s paper thin
I think one wheel′s coming off
Hey sister sin with that grin, where you been?
So kind of you to help me out
[Pre-Chorus + Chorus]
[Bridge x2:]
Fall from grace, kingdom come
Lying face down in the mud
Please don′t hate, look don′t judge
For I know not just what I′ve done
[Refrain:]
Lying face down in the mud
For I know not just what I′ve done
For I know not just what I′ve done
[Chorus x2]
Prison gates won′t open up for me
On these hands and knees I′m crawlin′
Oh, I reach for you
Well I′m terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can′t hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come please I′m callin′
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I′m fallin′, I′m fallin′
[Chorus:]
Show me what it′s like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I′ll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I′ll leave this life behind me
Say it if it′s worth saving me
Heaven′s gates won′t open up for me
With these broken wings I′m fallin′
And all I see is you
These city walls ain′t got no love for me
I′m on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And oh I scream for you
Come please I′m callin′
And all I need from you
Hurry I′m fallin′, I′m fallin′
[Chorus]
Hurry I′m fallin′
All I need is you
Come please I′m callin′
And oh, I scream for you
Hurry I′m fallin′, I′m fallin′, I′m fallin′
[Chorus]
Hurry I′m fallin′
From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you′d be mine
But here we are, we′re here tonight
Singing Amen, I, I′m alive
Singing Amen, I, I′m alive
[Chorus:]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we′d see the day when nobody died
And I′m singing
Amen I, Amen I, I′m alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I′m alive
And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We′ll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along
Singing Amen, I, I′m alive
Singing Amen, I, I′m alive
(I′m alive)
[Chorus x2]
And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we′d see the day when nobody died
When nobody died...
[Chorus]
We′d see the day, we′d see the day
When nobody died
We′d see the day, we′d see the day
When nobody died
We′d see the day when nobody died
She′s got me nervous
Talkin′ a hundred miles an hour
She′s more than worth it
I swear she smells just like a flower
I′d fall to pieces if I went anywhere without her
I love when she says "what′s wrong with right here on the counter?"
Funky little monkey, she′s a twisted trickster
Everybody wants to be the sister′s mister
Coca-Cola rollercoaster
Love her even though I′m not supposed to.
Funky little monkey, she′s a twisted trickster
Everybody wants to be the sister′s mister
Coca-Cola rollercoaster
Love her even though I′m not supposed to.
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
All night (All night)
All night (All night)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
All night (All night)
All night (All night)
I need her so bad,
Sometimes I feel like I can taste it
This evil romance
So good I never wanna waste it
I can′t trust my friends
′Cause she′s what everybody chases
I know where she′s been
′Cause it′s on everybody′s faces
I never wanna have to slow down
Got to be a better way to come down
I′ve gotta stay awake some how
I never wanna have to slow down
Got to be a better way to come down
I′ve gotta stay awake some how
As I sift and drift through bullshit,
That plagues from day to day,
Would you ever really notice I′ve gone away?
CHORUS
I′m over the wall,
Over the hill,
Over at your place,
I′m over the safetys,
Over the phone calls,
Over the rage,
What a mistake.
When you′ve lost the stones to throw,
The ones I found to make a fire,
And all the lonely souls that say so get fired.
CHORUS
What a mistake,
What a mistake,
What a mistake,
What a mistake,
I′ve never been lost,
I′ve never been found,
And it make no difference, if I′m around,
There′s never been words, there′s never been actions
Never made promises that i′ve never kept.
CHORUS
Interlude by both Chad & Ryan:
I just can′t seem to get out of this,
Pulling on the threads,
I′m always pulling on the threads,
I′m always pulling on the threads,
What a mistake, mistake.
So as i sift and drift through bullshit,
That plagues from day to day,
Would you ever really notice I′ve gone away?
My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day′s a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
If today was your last day
and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day
Against the grain should be a way of life
What′s worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts ′cause there′s no second try
So live like you′ll never live it twice
Don′t take the free ride in your own life
If today was your last day
and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce of memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you′re dreamin′ of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day
If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it′s never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
′Cause you can′t rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin′ stand in your way
Cause the hands of time are never on your side
If today was your last day
and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce of memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you′re dreamin′ of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day
Well it′s midnight, damn right, we′re wound up too tight
I′ve got a fist full of whiskey, the bottle just bit me
ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh
that shit makes me bat shit crazy
we′ve got no fear, no doubt, all in balls out
We′re going off tonight
to kick out every light
to get anything that we want
To drink everything in sight
We′re going till the world stops turning
while we burn it to the ground tonight
ooooohhhhhhh
We′re screaming like demons, swinging from the ceiling
I got a fist full of fifties, the tequilia just hit me
ooooohhhhh
we got no class, no taste, no shirt, and shit faced
we got it lined up, shot down, firing back straight crown
We′re going off tonight
to kick out every light
to get anything that we want
To drink everything in sight
We′re going till the world stops turning
while we burn it to the ground tonight
ooooohhhhhhh
Ticking like a time bomb, drinking till the nights gone
well get you hands off of this glass, last call my ass
weeelllll no chain, no lock, and this train won′t stop
we got no friend, no tab, all in balls out
We′re going off tonight
to kick out every light
to get anything that we want
To drink everything in sight
We′re going till the world stops turning
while we burn it to the ground tonight
ooooohhhhhhh
We′re going off tonight
to kick out every light
to get anyything that we want
To drink everything in sight
We′re going till the world stops turning
while we burn it to the ground tonight
I miss you
So, so, I do
So, so, I do
So, so, I do
I just woke up from a dream today
Time gone by but you still look the same
Felt so real to have you back with me
It′s just too bad it′s just another dream
Give me just one wish...
If I could give it all away
I′d do it just for one more day
I thought I had the time to wait
Now it′s too late to tell you
That I
I miss you
So, so, I do
So, so, I do
So, so, I do
(I miss you, so, so, I do)
I miss you so much
God knows I do
I miss you so much
I miss you so much
After dark, laughin′ in the rain
Silver heart locket on a chain
Well pictures fade and silver turns to grey
But the best of thieves couldn′t take my love away
Give me just one wish...
If I could give it all away
I′d do it just for one more day
Trade it in for one more moment
Tell you what I never told ya
All the things I left unsaid
I meant to say before you left
I thought I had the time to wait
Now it′s too late to tell you
I miss you
So, so, I do
So, so, I do
So, so, I do
(I miss you, so, so, I do)
I miss you so much
God knows I do
I miss you so much
I miss you so much
If there was some way, you know I would
I′d do it today, I wish I could
I call out your name, it does no good
I wish I knew what would
I... I miss you so much
God knows I do
I wish my wish was enough
Give me just one wish...
How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren′t we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables
I wish you′d unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there′s been too much of this
Dont think its too late
Nothin′s wrong
Just as long as
You know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
Gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you′re wondering when
(You′re the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
Gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you′re wondering when
Well I hoped that since we′re here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we′ve always needed to say
So we could end up stringing
Now the story′s played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a hollywood horror
Nothin′s wrong
Just as long as
You know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
Gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you′re wondering when
(You′re the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
Gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you′re wondering when
(You′re the only one who knows that)
{Solo:}
How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren′t we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables
Now the story′s played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits

Nothin′s wrong
Just as long as

I know you′re wondering when
(You′re the only one who knows that)
I know you′re wondering when
(You′re the only one who knows that)
I know you′re wondering when
And some say
Why you follow somethings so long
So I asked him
And he convinced me before long
Now its over
And I′ve seen him, don′t come back anymore
And he said...
I need
I don′t ask much anymore
I found
I found something
Throw a stone into the water
The ripple is broke
Burn the baby
Just for holding the candle too close
Take it all back
Search for justice, don′t live there anymore
And he said
I need
I don′t ask much anymore
I found
I found something
And why do you see me in this way?
The way that I did
I gave him the means to the ends
Yes I did
I bothered not to believe in this way
The way that I did
I made him just to see in this way
The way that I did
I need
I don′t ask much anymore
I found
I found something
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn′t cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I′m sick inside without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me of what I really am
This is how you remind me of what I really am
It′s not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I′m mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
And I′ve been wrong, I′ve been down
Into the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream ,"Are we having fun yet?"
yeah, yeah, yeah, no no
yeah, yeah, yeah, no no
It′s not like you didn′t know that
I said I love you and I swear I still do
And it must have been so bad
Cause living with him must have damn near killed you
Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey′s head
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we′d ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times
I wonder if It′s too late
Should i go back and try to graduate
Life′s better now that it was back then
If I was them I wouldn′t let me in
Oh oh oh
Oh god I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom door
It′s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It′s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops seen us hanging out
They said somebody went and burned it down
Goodbye
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday weнd find out how if feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim′s the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She′s had a couple of kids since then
I haven′t seen her since god knows when
Oh oh oh
Oh god I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It′s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It′s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can′t erase
You can′t replace it
I miss it now
I can′t believe it
So hard to stay
So hard to leave it
If I could I relive those days
I know the one that would never change
Every memory of looking out the back door
I haў the photo album spread out on my bedroom door
It′s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It′s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
Everytime I do it makes me
He′s drunk again
It′s time to fight
She must have done
Something wrong tonight
The living room
Becomes a boxing ring
It′s time to run
When you see him
Clenching his hands
She′s just a woman
Never again
I hear her scream
From down the hall
Amazing she can
Even talk at all
She cries to me
Go back to bed
I′m terrified that
She′ll wind up
Dead in his hands
She′s just a woman
Never again
Been there before
But not like this
Seen it before
But not like this
Never before
Have I ever
Seen it this bad
She′s just a woman
Never again
Just tell the nurse
You slipped and fell
It starts to sting
As it starts to swell
She looks at you
She wants the truth
It′s right out there
In the waiting room
With those hands
Lookin′ just
As sweet as he can
Never again
Seen it before
But not like this
Been there before
But not like this
Never before
Have I ever
Seen it this bad
She′s just a woman
Never again
Father′s a name
You haven′t earned yet
You′re just a child
With a temper
Haven′t you heard
"Don′t hit a lady"?
Kickin′ your as*
Would be a pleasure
He′s drunk again
It′s time to fight
Same old sh*t
Just on a different night
She grabs the gun
She′s had enough
Tonight she′ll find out
How f***ing
Tough is this man
Pulls the trigger
Just as fast as she can
Never again
Seen it before
But not like this
Been there before
But not like this
Never before
Have I ever
Seen it this bad
She′s just a woman
Never again
Well I know the feeling
Of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge
And there aint no healing
From cutting yourself with a jagged edge
I’m telling you that
It’s never that bad
Taking it some has been a weird ride
Laid out on the floor
And you’re not sure
You can take this anymore
So just give it one more try
With a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I’m reaching out
To let you know that you’re not alone
And if you can’t tell
And you scare yourself
Cause I can’t get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
Honey here comes a lullaby
Buried a lullaby
Please let me take you
Out of the darkness and into the light
Cause I have faith in you
That you’re going to make it through another night
Stop thinking about
The easy way out
There’s no need to go and blow the candle out
Because you’re not done
You’re far too young
And the best is yet to come
So just give it one more try
With a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I’m reaching out
To let you know that you’re not alone
And if you can’t tell
And you scare yourself
Cause I can’t get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
Honey here comes a lullaby
Buried a lullaby
Well everybody’s hit the bottom
Everybody’s been forgotten
When everybody’s tired of being alone
And everybody’s been abandoned
I left a little empty handed
So if you’re ever barely hanging on
Just give it one more try
With a Lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I’m reaching out
To let you know that you’re not alone
And if you can’t tell
And you scare yourself
Cause I can’t get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
Honey here comes a lullaby
Buried a lullaby
Honey here comes a lullaby
Buried a lullaby
This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there′s just one left
′Cause you know, you know, you know
[CHORUS]
I love you
I′ve loved you all along
I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you′ll be with me
And you′ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don′t see you anymore
On my knees, I′ll ask
Last chance for one last dance
′Cause with you, I′d withstand
All of Hell to hold your hand
I′d give it all
I′d give for us
Give anything, but I won′t give up
′Cause you know, you know, you know
[CHORUS]
That I love you
I loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you′ll be with me
And you′d never go
Stop breathing if
I don′t see you anymore
So far away
So far away
Far away for far too long
So far away
So far away
Far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
′Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
I love you
I loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
′Cause I′m not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me,and never let me go
Keep breathing
′Cause I′m not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me, never let me go
I am so high. I can hear heaven.
I am so high. I can hear heaven.
No heaven, no heaven dont hear me.
And they say that a hero can save us.
Im not gonna stand here and wait.
I′ll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as they all fly away.
Someone told me love will all save us.
But how can that be, look what love gave us.
A world full of killing, and blood-spilling
That world never came.
And they say that a hero can save us.
Im not gonna stand here and wait.
I′ll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as they all fly away.
Now that the world isnt ending, its love that Im sending to you.
It isnt the love of a hero, and thats why I fear it wont do.
And they say that a hero can save us.
Im not gonna stand here and wait.
I′ll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as they all fly away.
And they′re watching us
(Watching Us)
As they all fly away.
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn′t cut it as a poor man stealin′
Tired of livin′ like a blind man
I′m sick offside without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
It′s not like you to say sorry

Yet?, Yet?, Yet?, no no
S.E.X.
(Verse 1)
"No" is a dirty word ,
Never gonna say it first,
"No" is just a thought that never crosses my mind.
Maybe in the parking lot,
Better bring your friend along,
Better all together than just one at a time.
(Chorus)
S is for the simple need.
E is for the ecstasy.
X is just to mark the spot,
′cause that′s the one you really want.
(Yes!) Sex is always the answer, it′s never a question,
′Cuz the answer′s yes, oh the answers (Yes)
Not just a suggestion, if you ask the question,
Then it′s always yes. Yeeeah!
(Verse 2)
I′m loving what you wanna wear,
I wonder what′s up under there?
Wonder if I′ll ever have it under my tongue?
I love to try to set you free,
I love you all over me.
Love to hear the sound you make the second you′re done.
(Chorus)
S is for the simple need,
E is for the ecstasy,
X is just to mark the spot,
′cause that′s the one you really want.
(Yes!) Sex is always the answer, it′s never a question,
′Cuz the answer′s yes, oh the answers (Yes).
Not just a suggestion, if you ask the question,
Then it′s always yes. Yeeeah! (YES)
Yeeeeeeeah, yeeeah, yeah.
Yeeeeeeeah, yeeeah, yeah.
Yeeeeeeeah, yeeeah, yeah.
Yeeeeeeeah, yeeeah, yeah.
(Chorus)
S is for the simple need,
E is for the ecstasy,
X is just to mark the spot,
Because that′s the one you really waaaant.
(Yes!) Sex is always the answer, it′s never a question,
′Cuz the answer′s yes, oh the answer′s (Yes).
Not just a suggestion, if you ask the question,
Then it′s always yes. Yeeeah! (YES)

Yeeeeeeeah, yeeeah, yeah.
Yeeeeeeeah, yeeeah, yeah.
Yeeeeeeeah, yeeeah, yeah.
Yeeeeeeeah, yeeeah, yeah.
YES!
The light that fills my lonely cell,
Is blocked out by the key,
That locks the door to this hell,
The place they wanted me.
Time′s racing like the wind,
Execution′s near,
Oh lord, I wait for death,
And, yes, I have no fear.
I recall that night, my every breath,
And, step along the way.
Closed my eyes, walking,
As danger paved the way.
The devil, and the darkness
Let her evil wander free
And, here on Devils Island,
The final stop for me.
Devils Island, Devils Island.
Oh, there is no escape,
The sea is full of sharks.
The tide takes you away, and
Smashes you on the rocks.
The sun is shining,
But feel not today,
It′s warmth, it′s dying,
And fading away.
Devils Island, Devils Island.
Oh, hear the call,
From the grave beyond.
Oh, so pernicious,
Her soul it creates song.
As there is no man, that is
Here upon the earth,
Able to terminate our
Noisome will since birth.
The priest that reads the sermons,
Is walking next to me,
To the stake, my last request,
To have her burn with me.
But, so it did, the heavens opened,
Rain began to fall.
The final judgement came, and
Was spread before you all.
Final judgement.
Old, weak, and feeble,
But the lesson taught to me,
To stay away from evil,
She doesn′t care for me.
She haunts me in my sleep,
Though I tore that page away.
And, here on Devils Island,
I′ll always have to stay.
Devils Island, Devils Island
Here I am.
Devils Island, Devils Island
Got one chance, infiltrate them
Get it right, terminate them
The Panzers will, permeate them
Break their pride, denigrate them
And their people, retrograde them
Typhus, detriate them
Epidemic, devastate them
Take no prisoners, cremate them
Going to war, give′em hell
D-Day, next stop Normandie
Beginning of the end
We know how to and sure as shit we′ll win
War is peace sure man
A retreat for the damned
A playground for the demented
A heaven for those who walk this world
Bereft of heart and soul
Love and war they say all is fair
Take his life
But won′t take his hair
Your body has parts your
Country can spare
By the way son here′s
Your wheelchair
He once had to be all he could be
Now he′s nothing for no one nowhere to see
Funny thing, he′s like you and me
It′s a funny thing, a funny thing
Tears streak his solemn stare
Abandoned for wreckage nobody cares
No one knew what would happen there
No one spoke no one even dared
Don′t ask what you can do for your country
Ask what your country can do for you
Take no prisoners, take no shit
I heard the voice of redemption
For me there is no exemption
I started praying
I heard the voice of satisfaction
Needing me for benefaction
I started pleading
I heard the bells begin to chime
Warning me oh lord
Don′t let this be my time
Don′t let this be my time
I′ll be there for you, when you walk through the fire
I′ll be there for you, when the flames get higher
When nothing fits and nothing seems right
Till the very last breath of my life, I′ll be there for you
You saw me slide, you saw me fall
We kept our pride through it all
We started screaming
When skies are dark, no sun shines through
I know I see the light in you
We stopped dreaming and started believing
I′ll be there for you, when you walk through the fire
I′ll be there for you, when the flames get higher
When nothing fits and nothing seems right
Till the very last breath of my life, I′ll be there for you
I′ll be there
In my hour of need
You were there always
Now it′s time for me to be there for you too
Always
I′ll be there for you
I ain′t superstitious,
When a black cat crosses my path.
And, I ain′t superstitious,
As I break the looking glass.
Ain′t afraid of no demons,
Don′t make me laugh!
I ain′t superstitious,
Under the ladder I go.
I ain′t superstitious,
It′s all bullshit, don′t you know!
Ain′t afraid of the shadows,
I like the dark anyway, and that′s a fact!
Superstitious
I ain′t superstitious,
No such thing as bad luck.
I ain′t superstitious,
I couldn′t really give a fuck.
Take your stupid superstitions,
And find some other paranoidal,
Chickenshit, sissy, worm, and, tell it to him.
Superstitious
Enter the arena and hit the lights
Step up now you′re in for a ride
this is war, ain′t no fun and games
we get it up, you go down in flames
Party time, going down
you better not mess us around
the stakes are rich, take a hit or stay
the price is high, someone′s gonna pay
Heads I win, tails you lose
out of my way I′m coming through
roll the dice don′t think twice
and we crush, crush ′em
Looking for trouble, now you′ve found it
you′re a drum and we′re gonna pound it
Last one standing wins the fight
hear us scream and shout all night
down on the floor and eat the grit
this is gonna hurt a little bit
Heads I win, tails you lose
out of my way I′m coming through
roll the dice don′t think twice
and we crush, crush ′em
Now we lay you down to rest
you′ll never be more than second best
step inside you′re in for a ride
and we crush, crush ′em
Don′t need reason, don′t want names
just a John Doe to put to shame
step aside let me explain
the name of the game is pain
Now we′ve found you
We′re gonna pound you
We′re gonna beat you
Gonna defeat you
We′re gonna bust you
We′re gonna crush you
We′re gonna crush ′em
Down fell the stars, as they
Splashed into the sea.
"Mi nomine Baphomet",
Come dance with me.
Sacrifice the virgins,
Spiritual rites.
Their master′s time has come,
The moon is full tonight.
Drinking, dancing,
They worship, and toast
The devil, who′s watching,
With demon′s remote.
Fire, rising,
Racing in your blood.
Possessed, naive,
His service is done.
Bloody blasphemy.
Sinister′s the word,
As the demon′s take their fill.
An orgy′s taking place,
Human blood will spill.
An act of worship,
As they conceive the ghouls.
Satan has their souls,
They sing pagan tunes.
The ceremony,
Is sure to be cursed.
They ask for his blessings,
But, down comes the worst.
Their bodies, soulless,
A corpse from the grave.
Their minds are helpless,
And, no-one can save
No-on can save them
I′m lonely and abandonned
Washed up, left for dead
I′m lost inside the desert
Of every word you said
Like a nuclear reactor
Or TNT
I′m thinking about the times
When you lied to me
All the innuendo
Caught up on your hook
I was just a name
In your little black book
In you little black book
Ah, I′ll get even with you
I′m bitter and I′m twisted
I haven′t slept in days
I′m lonely and I′m angry
I can′t make it go away
I′m like a bomb that′s ticking
I got voices in my head
I got a doll with needles in
Wishing you were dead
I′ll get you back somehow
That′s what I′m gonna do
I′ll get you back somehow
Your nightmare coming true
Ah, I′ll get even with you
Ah, that′s what I′m gonna do
Gonna get even with you
You better look behind you
′Cause there I′m gonna be
I′ll be standing in the shadows
With who I used to be
He′s slightly schizophrenic
Me and me and me and me agree
That you are gonna pay
For what you did to me
Ah, I′ll get even with you
Gonna get even with you
Ah, that′s what I′m gonna do
I′m gonna...
Ah, I′ll get even with you
Let me introduce myself
I ′m a social disease
I ′ve come for your wealth
And leave you on your knees
No time for feeling sorry
I got here on my own
I won ′t ask for mercy
I choose to walk alone
What ′s yours is mine and what ′s mine is mine too
If you shake my hand better count your fingers
What if I do get caught?
What if there is no judgement?
If I ′m right I lose nothing
If you ′re right I lose it all
I ought to get caught
Because I ′m doing something wicked
I ′m guilty haunted by my fears
And the only consequences
Are dread and the fugitive mind
You built walls to protect you
So no one will infect you
Pursued by those out there
That vanish in thin air
Come a long way to find
What you really left behind
You don ′t know when the end is
But it ′s coming fast
I had wrists donning slits
Flowing constantly
My broken body in a wreck
Wrapped around a tree
A crosswalk hit and run
The finish line for me
People clutter in the gutter
Take a look and see
No escaping pain
You belong to me
Clinging on to life
By the skin o′ my teeth
My blood flows through the streets
Deluge from the wounds
Empty jars of sleeping pills
On the dresser of my room
My wet brain neighbor cranes
His neck to see in time,
The white lights a train
Bearing down on me
I won′t feel the hurt
I′m not trash any longer
That that doesn′t kill me
Only makes me stronger
I need a ride to the morgue
That′s what 911 is for
So, tag my toe and don′t forget
Ooh to close the drawer
Too many problems, oh why am I here?
I need to be me, ′cause you′re all to clear
And I can see there′s something wrong with you
Oh, what do you expect me to do?
At least I gotta know what I wanna be
Don′t come to me if you need pity
Are you lonely, you got no-one
You got your body in suspension
That′s a problem, problem, problem
The problem is you
Eat your heart out on a plastic tray
You don′t do what you want and you fade away
You work for me, you′re working nine-to-five
It′s too much fun of being alive
I′m using my feet for my human machine
You work for me, living for the screen
Are you lonely, all needs catered
You got your brains dehydrated
Problem, problem, problem, the problem is you
Oh what what you gonna do, problem, problem
Problem, problem, problem, the problem is you
Well, what you gonna do with your problem
The problem is you, problem
I ain′t death trip, but I ain′t automatic
You work for me, just stay ecstatic
Don′t you give me any orders
To people like me, there is no order
Bet you thought you had it all worked out
Bet you thought you knew what I was about
Bet you thought you′d solved all your problems
But you are the problem
Problem, problem, problem, the problem is you
Oh, what you gonna do with your problem?
I′ll leave it up to you, oh problem
The problem is you, you got a problem
Oh what you gonna do?
They know a doctor, gonna take you away
Thay take you away and they throw away the key
They don′t want you and they don′t want me
You got a problem the problem is you
Problem, well, what you gonna do?
Problem, have you got a problem?
Problem, well you got a problem
Problem
Again we stalk the stage
At mach speed we engage
Feeding people′s rage
The big cat′s left it′s cage
Back in the bus again
To catch another plane
This behavior′s quite insane
But we do it for the fame, yeah
I lost my mind, I lost all my money
I lost my life to the killing road
The road will never end
It always starts again
Another show′s around the bend
Another long lost friend
Faceless as the snow
There′s nothing special about the road
It′s just another haul
It′s just too damn long that′s all, yeah
Ain′t got no job
Ain′t got no smoke
Ain′t got a car
His life′s a joke
Living on the skids
Thinks the world′s just fine
Forgot what he did
Dancing on the breadline
No one there to bind him
Nothing to remind him
Nowhere left to find him
About to lose his lifeline
He′s dancing on the breadline
Forgot who he is
Forgot who he was
Used to call the shots
Now he can′t connect the dots
A mover and shaker
Getting closer to his maker
Lower than a hemline
Dancing on the breadline
No one there to bind him
Nothing to remind him
Nowhere left to find him
About to lose his lifeline
He′s looking for a headline
Sniffing up the white lines
He′s dancing on the breadline
Watch him dance
About to lose his lifeline
He′s looking for a headline
Sniffing up the white lines
He′s dancing on the breadline
About to lose his lifeline
He′s dancing on the breadline
No one, nothing, nowhere
Dancing on the breadline
He forgot and he ain′t got nothing
Welcome to an empty fortress
A mighty wreck that once was proud
Ate alive by oxidation
Abandoned by a crew of cowards
Navigation systems failed
Computers crashed and they all fall down
Possibly I′ve seen too much
Hangar 18 I know too much
All the guilty paid the price
Suspended by their broken necks
No one survived to tell the story
When foreign life forms resurrect
And military intelligence is
Still two words that can′t make sense
Possibly I′ve seen too much
Hangar 18 I know too much
It was just another day
It was just another fight
It was words strung into sentences
It was doomed to not be right
There is something wrong with me
There is something wrong with you
There is nothing left of us
There is one thing I can do
Lying on your bed,
Examining my head
This is the part of me that hates
Paybacks are a bitch
I throw the switch
Somewhere an electric chair awaits
Hey! This was my life
Hey! This was my fate
This was the wrong thing to do
This was the wrong one to be doing
This was the road to destiny
This was the road to my ruin
Now there′s motives for the suspect
Now there′s nothing left to say
Now there′s method to the madness
Now there′s society to pay
In our life there′s if
In our beliefs there′s lie
In our business there′s sin
In our bodies there′s die
This was my life
This was my fate
Sitting up late at night
I tiptoe through the darkness
Cold as hell black as spades
Aware of my immediate surrounding
In my place I escape
Up into my hideout
Hiding from everyone
My friends all say
Dave you′re mental any way hey!
Drift into a deeper state
I stalk the cobwebbed stairways
Dirt grits beneath my feet
The stair creaks, I precariously sneak
Hypnosis guides my hand
I slipslide through the walkways
Sit in granny′s rockin′ chair
Memories are whirling by yeah
Reminisce in the attic
Lucretia waits impatiently
Cobwebs make me squint
The cobra so eloquently glints
Moonbeams surge through the sky
The crystal ball′s energized
Surely that like the cat waiting
Lucretia rocks away
