I can′t control everything And I can′t forget just what I′ve seen These memories take me away To a better place than I am today I devise my own demise Here′s to life-the life I′m losing It is time to say hello goodbye (hello goodbye) To fade away, fade away alone (motherfuck it, goodbye!) I just want you to take, take me back home To a better place that I′ve never known That I′ve never known I can′t control everything (death is the only way out!) And I can′t forget just what I′ve seen (death is the only way out!) These memories take me away To a better place that I am today Than I am today ...this life I′m losing (this life I′m losing) I devise my...own demise
I surrender I know I′ve been a pretender You can have this guilt this misery I wear so well I wave my flag and sound the alarm Somebody stop me before I do any harm I surrender I know I′ve been a pretender I′m living a dead life I′m staring into the headlights A get away car that will take me out of my mind tonight Crash and burn an S.O.S Somebody help me get out of this mess of a dead life I′m burning under the spotlight
My heart is a fist drenched in blood My soul will fight again My heart is a fist drenched in blood My soul will rise again
Take a look at these highways one last look before I say goodbye To this continuous nightmare I feel like I never escape So watch me fall from grace Watch me carve my hate In the heart of a lover I feel like I can never escape my fate
My heart is a fist drenched in blood My soul will fight again My heart is a fist drenched in blood My soul will rise again
See you on your cloud Looking down I′m on my knees today But you don′t notice me
See you on your cloud Looking down I′m on my knees today But you don′t notice me You don′t notice me You don′t notice me You don′t notice me
I′m screaming while I pray While I pray While I pray You don′t notice me I′m sick of you God I am done with you
See you on your cloud Looking down I′m on my knees today But you don′t notice me
My heart is a fist drenched in blood My soul fight again My hear is a fist drenched in blood My soul will rise again
Woke up and I feel like shit I don′t remember last night, I′m getting sick of this I hit the bottle when I got off stage And got piss drunk stupid and went in a rage I think I mighta got into a fight Because my knuckles were bloody and I don′t feel alright I hit the bottom and I don′t even care Some say I′m going to hell but I′m already there
[Pre-Chorus:] Sick and tired of being sick and tired
[Chorus:] I wanna be free from this ball and chain and Be free from this life of pain and Be free from this ball and chain I wanna be free from you
Now I′m full of guilt and shame I can′t point a finger cause theres no one to blame So I say I′ll never do it again But when the sun goes down, you are my only friend I′m thinking I am starting to see I have become everything I never wanted to be I′m really getting sick of myself Cause when I look into the mirror, I see somebody else
[Pre-Chorus] [Chorus x2]
Sick and tired of being sick and tired So sick and tired of being sick and tired Sick and tired of being sick and tired So sick and tired of being sick and tired
I count the days that we have spent apart I′ve got a bad liver and a broken heart There′s no salvation in the comfort of you I finally realized you′re tearing me apart
[Chorus:] So help me, save me, tell me that the end is near Help me, save me, tell me that the end is near I am done with you
You made my life completely miserable You drove me to the edge, you′ve caused me all this pain But I′ve always loved you ′cause you′re oh so special I′m broken and I′m alone and I cannot maintain
[Chorus]
Done with you (done with you) I am done with you (done with you) I am done with you (done with you) I am done with you (done with you, I′m done with you)
I count the days that we have spent apart I′ve got a bad liver and a broken heart
Help me, save me, Tell me that the end is near Help me, save me, Tell me that the end is here I am done with you
Because you and me are through You couldn′t help me You couldn′t save me Now I know the end is here I am done with you
Fed-up Tired Sick and twisted One-man army I′m enlisted Trust yourself trust no one else Fuck a hero be yourself I don′t need your lousy hand-out Clinched fists i′ll fight my way out Fighting my way out Find my way out
People wake up and sing along I trust no one My trust is gone
Born with nothing Die with everything
In a daze These days go by Faster and faster I speed through life Now I′ve got to take control Of my mental and my physical Never sheltered from life′s hard storms I was cold but now I am warm Inside I′m warm
Searching and finding the truth inside myself Inside myself
My soul was starving I was born with nothing I′ll die with everything
I′m feeling on top of the world I′m feeling like I can′t do wrong I′m thinking everything is fine I′m caught up in the smoke and the mirrors
People that you think are your friends Might be the people that want to drag you down You′ve got to look out pull yourself tonight Don′t get lost in the smoke and mirrors
Line after line Time after time
It′s the same old sad story He′s lost, he′s out of his fucking mind It′s the same old sad story He′s lost
I′m tripping I′m over the edge I′m falling and I′ve got no wings I′m praying I′ll make it through tonight I′m caught up in the smoke and the mirrors
I′m living in a prison cell I′m strung out in downtown hell I′m looking for my self-deny I′ve got lost in the smoke and mirrors
Line after line Time after time
It′s the same old sad story He′s lost, he′s out of his fucking mind It′s the same old sad story He′s lost
(This is an SOS [X6] Yeah!)
It′s the same old sad story He′s lost, he′s out of his fucking mind It′s the same old sad story He′s lost, he′s out of his fucking mind
Out of his mind, doing that time Walking a line, doing that time
I refuse to be your victim I refuse to be your slave I keep on burning my bridges I keep on fucking up everything Running from desperation god knows where I′ve been I don′t know where I′m headed But I′m going too fast I think I′m going to crash I′m going to crash I′m going to crash, to crash It is time for annihilation its time to be a criminal No time for his hesitation time to be an animal Looking at my reflection I don′t like what I see So I ask myself a question Do I got what I want or do I got what I need? I′m not afraid of the future Of spinning right out of control I don′t know where I′m headed But I′m going too fast I think I′m going to crash I refuse to be a victim, I don′t want to fall again I know where I′m headed God knows where I′ve been... Live-love-life! Live-love-fight!
Somebody falls in love, somebody breaks a heart We never fell in love we only fell apart I′m getting lonely, I need somebody to hold me I thought I′d never miss her She cut me out o f her pictures Take a look at the world around you Can you see the desperation? Take a look at the world around you Can you see the life your living? Somebody tells the truth, somebody lives a lie I can see right through, the story is in your eyes I know what they′re saying, there is no need for explaining There will be nothing better than when I burn all your letters We never fell in love we only fell apart We only fell apart So we pick up the pieces and put ′em together We said this was gnoa last forever We never fell in love we only fell apart Somebody falls in love, somebody breaks a heart We never fell in love we only fell apart
I was scatterbrained When I found the time to find That times are evil Sick and disjointed My skin is thick Thick and calloused I′m ready to shed the shell Ready to shed the shell
So you think you have figured me out A young man lost in his problems Some problems aren′t that easy to solve And you can′t break our code of energy
I′m bent out of shape There is no happy ending I′ve come to a point Where I just don′t give a fuck My skin is thick Thick and calloused I′m ready to shed the shell Ready to shed the shell
The code of energy
Hi I′m paranoid Goodbye I′m in the void Haunted by insecurity Bipolar asymmetry
Our new vision of passion and obsession Is planetary ingestion There is no time for question.....
I didn′t know you were a fake Every lie straight to my face So blind, I coudn′t see Right behind my back you stabbed me I should have known you were a bitch Shut up, you make me sick Little man your ain′t nothing like me Lying, cheating, so deceiving
I trusted you, broke me down And you screwed me over Don′t try to deny it You cannot hide it I′ve been ignited

Cause You gotta be bigger, be faster, be stronger If your gonna survive any longer In this lifetime, it better be the right time The first time might be your last time Am I a failure if I got nothing to lose No, I′m not a failure, I got something to prove
[Chorus:] I′m not listening, not anymore The more I learn, the more I ignore I′m not listening, not anymore The more I hear, the more I ignore, the more I ignore
Cause I′ve lost my innocence And I′m a stranger, A life changer I′m a man thats not afraid of danger I walk my own path, and blaze my own trail Because I′m not afraid to derail I won′t get in line or be a middle man So fuck you I′ll make my own plan And I got respect and I don′t neglect The people that I really care to protect Am I a failure if I got nothing to lose No, I′m not a failure, I got something to prove
[Chorus]
I told you before, wont listen no more I told you before, lets settle the score I told you before, wont listen no more I told you before, lets settle the score
If not me then who? If not now then when? If not me then who? If not now then when?
[Chorus]
I told you before, wont listen no more I told you before, lets settle the score I told you before, wont listen no more I told you before, lets settle the score
Set it off right now Blow it up, set it off Fuck it up, set it off Blow it up, Blow it up right now
I′ve got passion and a reason, And I won′t neglect my emotions, Because I wanna spill, spill my guts, But I don′t want to pick them up, I′ve got passion, and a reason, And I won′t neglect my emotions, I′m excited and I′m exploding, I′m ignited and I′m ready to go off
Rather be caught dead than weak
Cause I′d rather be caught dead, than be weak, And in my last days I′ll still be standing strong, Cause I′d rather be caught dead, than be weak, And in my last days I′ll still be standing strong,
I wanna spill, spill my guts, But I don′t want to pick them up, I′ve got too much pride and desire, To let this go, I′ll walk through fire
I′ve got passion, and a reason, And I won′t neglect my emotions
Rather be caught dead than weak
[Chorus:]
I′d rather be caught dead than weak, Rather be caught dead than weak,
Woah-o, woah-o, yeah, yeah You say I′m looking really bad, you say I′m looking really sick And I don′t even care I never really did So when push comes to shove and I slap you in the face Just remember one thing... When its time to fill the void my whole life has been destroyed And everyone around me says my time is running out I refuse to surrender, I refuse to surrender So when I′m out of control and I′m out of my m ind Just remember one thing, I think I′m just fine So catch me when I fall, I won′t remember anything at all So catch me when I fall
When its time to fill the void my whole life has been destroyed And everyone around me says my time is running out I refuse to surrender, I refuse to surrender Woah-o, woah-o, yeah, yeah Woah-o, woah-o, yeah, yeah When its time to fill the void my whole life has been destroyed And everyone around me says my time is running out When its time to fill the void my whole life has been destroyed And everyone around me says my time is running out I refuse to surrender, I refuse to surrender I refuse to surrender, I refuse to surrender
Here today gone today Hurry up and wait I′m never there for you or me Can′t you read the story of our lives Death to me and life for you Something isn′t right And I need some space to Clear my head to think about My life
And I can′t be alone
I just need some space To clear my head to think about my life With or without you
We fight it out We work it out Give me some time to unwind
I must confess I′m falling apart Breaking your heart Crying with you on the phone We′re walking on thin ice I hope it doesn′t break
Mile by mile we′re farther apart And it′s one empty bottle And two broken hearts Night after night we are falling apart Now it′s two broken bottles And four empty hearts
God bless the coffin they carry me off in God bless the coffin they carry me off in They carry me off in
I’ve walked amongst the living dead And I’m sick of the voices that are in my head I’ve taken the ride and I’ve danced with death I had nine lives and I’ve got one left
Cause I’ve got what you want You′ve got what I need Let’s get together and keep me forever Yeah waaaaaaahh!
I’m harder than a coffin nail I’ve been to heaven; I’ve been to hell I’m harder than a coffin nail I’ve been to heaven; I’ve been to hell
I never thought I’d need someone’s help (I don’t need your help)
‘Cause I’ll handle it all and do it by myself (I’ll do this by myself)
I′m never alone ‘till I hit rock bottom (I’m not afraid to fall)
I’m so fucking stubborn and so fucking rotten (Hit the bottom)
Cause I’ve got what you want You′ve got what I need Let’s get together and keep me forever Yeah waaaaaaahh!
I’m harder than a coffin nail I’ve been to heaven; I’ve been to hell I’m harder than a coffin nail I’ve been to heaven; I’ve been to hell
God bless the coffin they carry me off in... God bless the coffin they carry me off in...
Cause I’ve got what you want You′ve got what I need Let’s get together and keep me forever Yeah waaaaaaahh!
I’m harder than a coffin nail I’ve been to heaven; I’ve been to hell I’m harder than a coffin nail I’ve been to heaven; I’ve been to hell
God bless the coffin they carry me off in! God bless the coffin they carry me off in!
Please forgive me while I turn out the lights Watch this haunted day turn into a wasted night So cut me off-throw me down Cause I′m reckless, goddamn son of a bitch! I′m reckless So reckless God save me from this madness I′m walking on broken glass from the wreckage of my past I′m locked up in a cage ′cause I′m a prisoner of my ways So cut me off-throw me out ′cause I′m reckless, I′m a reckless goddamn son of a bitch! Thank god I′ve got a women with my name across her heart Loving me ain′t easy, loving me is hard I′m sorry about the madness but that′s the way its gotta be ′cause it takes a crazy woman to love a reckless man like me
Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness I need to calculate What creates my own madness And I′m addicted to your punishment And you′re the master And I am waiting for disaster
[Chorus] I feel irrational So confrontational To tell the truth I am Getting away with murder It isn′t possible To never tell the truth But the reality is I′m getting away with murder (Getting away, Getting away, Getting away)
I drink my drink and I don′t even want to I think my thoughts when I don′t even need to I never look back cause I don′t even want to And I don′t need to Because I′m getting away with murder
Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness I need to calculate What creates my own madness And I′m addicted to your punishment And you′re the master And I am craving this disaster
Take me and let me in Don′t break me and shut me out
[Chorus:] So take me and let me in Don′t break me and shut me out
I lit my pain on fire And I watched it all burn down Now I′m dancing in the ashes And theres no one else around Cause I wanna be apart of something This is just a story of a broken soul
[Hook:] As days go by, my heart grows cold I can′t seem to let this all pass me by
[Chorus x2]
I′m burning in the heavens And I′m drowning in a hell My soul is in a coma And none of my friends can tell That I′m reaching out and getting nothing This is just a story of a broken soul
[Hook] [Chorus x2]
Don′t shut me out
Does anyone around me feel the same Put your fist up and vent your pain Does anyone around me feel the same Put your fist up and vent your pain Does anyone around me feel the same Put your fist up and vent your pain Does anyone around me feel the same Put your fist up and vent your pain
I live the days of war I live the nights of love I suffer to survive I gotta gotta gotta stay alive I hear the battle cries Their fists are in the sky I know what I′m fighting for...
No more secrets no more lies See right through your alibis Take a look into my eyes No more secrets no more lies
No more secrets no more lies See right through your alibis Take a look into my eyes No more secrets no more lies
This is a call to arms It′s time to go to war It′s time to rant and rave Gotta gotta gotta make a change Down on the devil′s street Is where everybody meets I know what I′m fighting for...
No more secrets no more lies See right through your alibis Take a look into my eyes No more secrets no more lies
No more secrets no more lies See right through your alibis Take a look into my eyes No more secrets no more lies
What goes around comes around baby! You′ll get yours one day, that′s right!
I want it all, and I want it now! Make no mistake, give it to me straight...
No more secrets no more lies See right through your alibis Take a look into my eyes No more secrets no more lies
No more secrets no more lies See right through your alibis Take a look into my eyes No more secrets no more lies Lies, lies, LIES!
No more secrets no more lies See right through your alibis Take a look into my eyes No more secrets no more lies
Yeah! What goes around comes around baby! You′ll get yours one day, that′s right!
Today I saw my hero fall apart, The one who taught me to be strong, On the outside I look fine, But on the inside I am dying My strength is overcome by pain My love for you remains the same The loneliness is setting in I have no one to free my sins
It′s never too late to live your life, The time is now, it′s do or die It′s never too late to live your life, The time is now, it′s yours and mine
Now it′s my turn to help you out, ′cause you were there when I was down, It′s hard for me to see you this way Losing all your sanity You helped me to keep my dreams alive, Without you how will I survive? It′s time for me to be a man Now I finally understand
It′s never too late to live your life, The time is now, it′s do or die It′s never too late to live your life, The time is now, it′s yours and mine
It′s never too late to live your life, The time is now, it′s do or die It′s never too late to live your life, The time is now, it′s yours and mine
I can′t run anymore I can′t hide anymore I can′t run anymore I can′t hide anymore
Today I saw my hero fall apart, The one who taught me to be strong, On the outside I look fine, But on the inside I am dying
It′s never too late to live your life, The time is now, it′s do or die It′s never too late to live your life, The time is now, it′s yours and mine
It′s never too late to live your life, The time is now, it′s do or die It′s never too late to live your life, The time is now, it′s yours and mine

You know I love it when your down on your knees and im a junky for the way that you please you shut me up when you swallow me down my back to the wall your ?going to down?/ to town?
chorus- I almost told you that I loved you thank god I didnt it wouldve been a lie I say the damndest things when your on top of me I almost told you that I loved you
I hate to say it but it has to be said you look so fragile as I f**k with your head I know it shouldnt but its getting me on if sex is the drug what is the cost
chorus- I almost told you that I loved you thank god I didnt it wouldve been a lie I say the damndest things when your on top of me I almost told you that I loved you
Im not the one that you want the one that you need my love is like a f**king disease you can give me your hand you can make your amends but im the hardest f**ker to please
chorus-I almost told you that I loved you thank god I didnt it wouldve been a lie I say the damndest things when your on top of me I almost told you that I loved you
In the brightest hours of my darkest day I realized what was wrong with me Can’t get over you Can’t get threw to you It’s been a hell to scowter romance from the start Take these memories that are haunting me Of a paper man cut into shreds By his own pair of scissors Hell never forgive her Hell never forgive her
Because days come and go But my feelings for you are forever Because days come and go But my feelings for you are forever
Sitting by a fire On a lonely night Hanging over from another good time With another girl Little dirty girl You should listen to this story of a life You’re my heroine In this moment I’m lonely Fulfilling my darkest dreams All these drugs all these women I’m never forgiving this broken heart of mine
Because days come and go But my feelings for you are forever Because days come and go But my feelings for you are forever
One last kiss before I go Dry your tears It is time to let you go One last kiss Before I go Dry your tears It is time to let you go
Because days come and go But my feelings for you are forever Because days come and go But my feelings for you are forever
One last kiss Before I go Dry your tears It is time to let you go One last kiss Before I go Dry your tears It is time to let you go One last kiss
There′s no money there′s no possessions Only obsession I don′t need that shit Take my money take my obsession
I just want to be heard loud and clear are my words Coming from within man tell them what you heard It′s about a revolution in your heart and in your mind Till you find a conclusion lost out in obsession Diamond rings get you nothing but a life long lesson And your pocketbooks stressing You′re a slave to the system working jobs that you hate for that shit you don′t need It′s too bad the world is based on greed Step back and see Stop thinking about yourself start thinking about
There′s no money there′s no possession only Obsession I don′t need that shit Take my money take my possession take my obsession I don′t need that shit
Because everything is nothing And emptiness isn′t everything This reality is really just a fucked up dream With the flesh and the blood that you call your soul Flip it inside out it′s a big black hole Take your money burn it up like an asteroid Possession though you′re never gonna feel the void Take it away and learn your best lesson The heart the soul the life the passion
There′s no money there′s no possession Only obsession I don′t need that shit Take my money take my possession take my obsession I don′t need that shit
Money possession obsession Present yourself press your clothes comb your hair And clock in You just can′t win just can′t win And the things you own own you Nooooooooooooo
Take my money take my possession take my obsession I don′t need that shit Fuck your money fuck your possession fuck your Obsession I don′t need that shit Money possession obsession I don′t need that shit
My words are weapons In which I murder you with But please don′t get scared please do not turn your head We are the future the 21st century dyslexic, glue-sniffing cybersluts With homicidal minds and handguns We are the insane Nothing will change We are the same Nothing will change
CHORUS: There is a thin line between what′s good and what is evil I will tiptoe down that line But I will feel unstable My life is a circus And I′m tripping down the tightrope Well there is nothing to save me now So i will not look down
And again and again and again And it happens again and again and again There′s no beginning there is no end there is only change Progression backwards Is this where we are heading Take back your soul Forget your emptines
CHORUS: There is a thin line between what′s good and what is evil I will tiptoe down that line But I will feel unstable My life is a circus And I′m tripping down the tightrope Well there is nothing to save me now I′m falling to the ground Falling to the ground Down to the ground
I speak of madness My heart and soul I cry for people that ain′t got control Let′s take our sanity Let′s take compassion And be responsible for every action Hello know how But we, we, we know how We know how
CHORUS: There is a thin line between what′s good and what is evil I will tiptoe down that line But I will feel unstable My life is a circus And I′m tripping down the tightrope Well there is nothing to save me now So i will not look down There is a thin line between what′s good and what is evil I will tiptoe down that line But I will feel unstable My life is a circus And I′m tripping down the tightrope Well there is nothing to save me now Im falling to the ground Down to the ground

Sit back, matter of fact, teasing, toying, turning, chatting, charming, hissing, playing the crowd. Play that song again. Another couple klonopin. A nod, a glance, a half-hearted bow.

Quit acting so friendly. Don′t nod don′t laugh all nicely. Don′t think you′ll up-end me. Don′t sigh, don′t sip your iced-tea. And don′t say, It′s been a while... And don′t flash that stupid smile.
Don′t ask me how I′ve been.
Don′t think I′ve forgotten, you never liked that necklace. So cordial, so rotten... Kiss, kiss, let′s meet for breakfast. Don′t show up so on-time and don′t act like you′re so kind

Stop getting me off track. I mean it, there′s a problem here. This time it is for, is for, is for, it is for real. How can I make myself more clear?
*I never say quite what I mean. I never mean quite what I say. An′ how did that get outta me? An′ what the hell did I mean to say?*
Mm, this time it is for real. This is a real emergency. This time I swear it is the, is the, is is the truth. Uh, this must be dealt with urgently.
*Well, I never say quite what I mean. I never mean quite what I say. How did that come outta me? What the hell did I mean to say?*
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh... There′s a fire, there′s a fire. (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh....)
I really mean it now. Huh-huoh. This time I swear, I have not lied. This isn′t like the, like the, like the, like like the last time. I swear to God, I have not lied.
*I never say quite what I mean. I never mean quite what I say. How did that come outta me? What the hell did I mean to say?*
Oh, oh, oh, oh...... theres a fire, theres a fire Oh, oh oh

So you were born in an electrical storm, took a bite out the sun and saw your future in a machine built for two. Now your rays make me kind of go crazy, shock and awe and amaze me, just a ticker tape parade and me, but something was wrong till you tap danced on the air, in the night. Screaming at the top of your lungs, you said, "Come on, come on. Do what you want. What could go wrong? Oh come on come on come on, come on, do what you want. Oh come on come on. What could go wrong? Do do do do what you want." Come on. Me, I was raised amid the trickle-down days. I woke up numb in the haze and saw my future machine built for two, but the light gave me some kind of fright. How did wrong get so right and lead me stumbling
through the dark of night? Oh something was wrong, but you tap danced on the air, in the night, Screaming at the top of your lungs you said, "Come on, come on. Do what you want. What could go wrong? Oh come on come on come on, come on, do what you want. Oh come on come on. What could go wrong? Do do do do what you want." Come on
Come on in, sweetie-pie! Have an apple, have some lye... Leave your friends, righteous and pathetic, standing at the door. On the books, all your bets favor head-bands and cassettes, cigarettes, suffragettes, and bores.
What to do? Sweetheart, you′ll find mediocre people do exceptional things all the time. Oh, the ruin will do in your talented mind... could′ve been a genius if you′d had an axe to grind.
When we moved to the city, it seemed the competition got so much less pretty but the, the mirror′s never failed you like this before. So your revenge on the world will be pencils through your curls and if wanting ever taught you anything, it′s wanting more. (and more and more and more...)
What to do? Sweetheart, you′ll find mediocre people do exceptional things all the time. Oh, the ruin will do in your talented mind... could′ve been a genius if you′d had an axe to grind. What to doooo...oh? What to dooooooo....oh?
When that day finally nears, you′ll at least have made it clear that compassion′s just a nicer way of looking down your nose. It seems that all the people want to do is crowd the streets of Amsterdam (Pamplona, too), but the bulls have already come and gone and bellowed all their lows. Now nobody knows
What to dooooo...? Sweetheart, you′ll find mediocre people do exceptional things all the time. Oh, the ruin will do in your talented mind... Could′ve been a genius if you′d had an axe to grind. What to dooooo.....oh? What to dooooo.....oh? Oh what to do, what to do, what to do...oh? What to doooooooooooo.....woah!
All of the astronauts Champagne in plastic cups Waiting for the big hero to show Outside the door he stands His head in his hands And his heart in his throat
What can he tell them now Sorry I let you down Sorry it wasn′t quite true But don′t get hung up on it Just solider on with it And good luck with shooting the moon
Shooting the moon Shooting the moon The moon Shooting the moon
All of the principals Generals, admirals And the podium lit with the spotlight The crowd buzzes quietly Waiting expectantly Like it′s opening night
What can he tell them now Sorry I let you down Sorry it wasn′t quite true But don′t get hung up on it Just solider on with it And good luck with shooting the moon
Shooting the moon Shooting the moon The moon Shooting the moon
In your fitted raincoat and tangled winter hair Cheeks a little rosy in the February air Running through the subway to catch the Uptown train Spend the night just dancing Running through the subway to catch the Uptown train Spend the night just dancing
[Chorus:] I want you, yeah I want you I want you, yeah I want you bad So bad I can′t think straight So bad all my bones shake So bad I can′t breathe
And in the midnight quiet, outside the world away We could have just one more night that you could stay. And in the light of morning for 21 days straight There you are beside me And in the light of morning for 21 days straight There you are beside me
[Repeat Chorus:]
So wontcha, So wontcha c′mon (3x) (Very Suggestive "Ahs") I can′t breathe (Band pauses, entire female population of the planet screams) I want you, yeah I want you, so bad I can′t breathe I can′t breathe.
Oh sugar, Oh sugar can′t you see How hard I′m tryin′?
You know you gotta, You know you gotta eventually Make up your mind
′Cause no one′s gonna find ya When you′re hiding in the dark No one′s gonna find ya When you′re hiding in the dark No one′s gonna find ya When you′re hiding in the dark No one′s gonna find ya
So would you So would you talk to me? It′s time to decide
′Cause no one′s gonna save ya If you don′t swim for the boat No one′s gonna save ya If you won′t take the rope No one′s gonna find ya When you′re hiding in the dark No one′s gonna find ya
And it′s end love the sky is fallin′ End love, the sky is fallin′ The sky is fallin′
So sugar, So sugar dance with me This one last time
We got no reason, We got no reason I can see To hold back tonight
′Cause no one′s gonna catch ya If you can′t just let go No one′s gonna know ya If you can′t let love show No one′s gonna find ya When you′re hiding in the dark No one′s gonna find ya
And it′s end love the sky is fallin′ End love the sky is fallin′ The sky is fallin′
Oh sugar Oh sugar can′t you see How hard I′m tryin′
You know you gotta You know you gotta eventually Make up your mind
And it′s end love the sky is fallin′ End love the sky is fallin′ The sky is fallin′
C-C-C-Cinnamon lips and Candy kisses on my tongue, Fun! B-B-B-Buttery eyes, if only cries Could come from those eyes, Ohh
Have you landed yet and, if so, would you let me know? I′m tired of looking up into those starry eyes. Does it rain where you are? Does it snow? And, if so, remind me not to go there. The weather affects my knee.
I′ve never felt this way before.
C-C-C-Cinnamon Lips, go powder your cheeks And meet your new beau, Ohh C-C-C-Counting sheep, if only sheep Could put me to sleep, Ohh
I′ve never felt this way before I′ve never felt this way before
Someday (one day) you′ll miss me. Mundane Sundays when I′m gone. One day (someday) you′ll miss me. One day when I′m gone. (I do and so long) One day when I′m gone!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, Whoa (repeat 3x)
Have you landed yet and, if so, would you let me know?
Another long quiet night... Another long quiet, lonely night spent at your side. Not a lot left to say... There′s not a lot that I still could say to change your mind.
But with a little bit of money we could buy us a car. With a little luck we could get away from where we are. Let′s get out of here.
We′ll drive, one thousand miles an hour. We′ll fly by wheat fields and water towers. We′ll go. We′ll go and we′ll go and we′ll go. Let′s go.
Now the look in your eye... You know, the look right before you cry... it′s always here. So in the day when you wake... In the morning when you awake, let′s disappear.
With a little bit of money we could buy us a car. With a little luck we could get away from where we are. Let′s get out of here.
We′ll drive, one thousand miles an hour. We′ll fly by wheat fields and water towers. We′ll go. We′ll go and we′ll go and we′ll go. Let′s go
If you should be the last Autumn leaf hanging from the tree I′ll still be here waiting on the breeze to bring you down to me And if it takes forever Forever it′ll be And if it takes forever Forever it′ll be And if you should be the last seed in Spring to venture forth a leaf I′ll still be here waiting on the rain to warm your heart for me And if it takes forever Forever it′ll be And if it takes forever Forever it′ll be
When we got to Boston, we knew we′d missed a turn. No one back in traffic school had told us there are signs that can′t be learned. Geography′s too stubborn and people are too clear, so let′s go find a road-side motel with a clerk who won′t tell. Days will turn into nights, nights will turn into days, weeks, seasons, and years. We′ll stay for years.
Red and white for blood cells, red and white for wine. They could be the whole damn spectrum if we′d all just let them. Lord, it′s such a crime... Working on an inch less waistband in the strip mall wasteland outside of this town, or clawing at the penthouse kitchen floor for just one smidgen more, everybody knows, everybody knows that it′s in. The fix is in.
Let′s go back to Boston. Forget about the turn. Atlases and gas station attendants are none of our concern. We′ll forge a little life dear (oh dear) and double down our debts, and I guess it stands to reason that the passing seasons will slowly dull regrets. Working on an inch less waistband in the strip mall wasteland outside of this town, or clawing at the penthouse kitchen floor for just one smidgen more, everybody knows, everybody knows that it′s in. The fix is in.
You′re not the prettiest girl in town, and I′m not the only boy with sullie clothes and a sullen frown, so to hell with Valentine′s, to hell with perfume, to hell with chocolates and picnics and Sinatra tunes.
′Cause while the rest of the girls are drowning in roses and songs he composes, and while the rest of the guys are all trying so hard, oh girl, let′s crash the party. El Dorado on the lawn (hey hey hey!). Let′s burn holes in the carpets, kicking, shouting, dancing, on the tables all night long.
I′m not so good with sublety. You wouldn′t say that I′m the picture of urbanity. Never put much stock in suavity or courtesy or chivalry or gallantry or all that useless jewelry.
But while the rest of the girls still sigh for the night he was smiling politely, and while the rest of the guys are all trying so hard, oh girl, let′s crash the party. El Dorado on the lawn (hey hey hey!). Let′s burn holes in the carpets, kicking, shouting, dancing on the tables all night long. All night long.
You′ll never get that taste, out of your mouth You′ll never get the paw prints, out of the hen house now And you can′t go back, same way you came Round all the pieces up, but they just dont fit the same
White knuckles Maybe it′s not so bad So let your hair down now
White knuckles Yeah maybe it′s not so bad Aww go ahead and let it down
So come and let it all out, let it bleed Did you get what you want? Did you get what you need? Behind the lines, behind the walls Tell me what′s the bet you made, was it that bad after all?
White knuckles Yeah maybe it′s not so bad So let your hair down now
White knuckles Aww maybe it′s not so bad Just let it all come down now
So just have fun, it′s far enough Everybody needs to sleep at night, everybody needs a crutch But couldn′t good, be good enough? Cause nothin′ ever doesn′t change but nothin′ changes much
Yeah, maybe it′s not so bad So let your hair down now White knuckles
Aww maybe it′s not so bad Just let it all come down now
Yeah maybe it′s not so bad Just let your hair come down now
Oh maybe it′s not so bad Just let it all come down
When they finally come to destroy the earth, they′ll have to go through you first. I bet they won′t be expecting that. When they finally come to destroy the earth, they′ll have to deal with you first, and now my money says they won′t know about the thousand Fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes. Invincible. You′re invincible. That crushing, crashing, atom-smashing, white-hot thing... It′s invincible. When they finally come, what′ll you do to them? Gonna decimate them like you did to me? Will you leave them stunned and stuttering? When they finally come, how will you handle them? Will you devastate them deliberately? ′Cause I′m gonna guess they won′t be prepared for thousand Fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes. Invincible. You′re invincible. That crushing, crashing, atom-smashing, white-hot thing... It′s invincible. So, please use your powers for good. You′re invincible
Now its years since your body went flat and even memories of that are all think and dull, all gravel and glass. But who needs them now -- displaced they′re easily more safe -- the worst of it now: I can′t remember your face.
Please... Return.
For a while, with the vertigo cured, we were alive -- we were pure. The void took the shape of all that you were, but years take their toll, and things get bent into shape... Antiseptic and tired, I can′t remember your face.
Please... Return.
You were supposed to grow old. Reckless, unfrightened, and old, you were supposed to grow old.
Having spent your entire life Exactly where you are tonight In the valley between intent and deed
You must have mastered this The fragile art of a good excuse And the little things that get you to believe that get you to believe
So listen I′m not trying to prove anything at all here But don′t you think that maybe this time you were wrong?
You′ve spent your entire life Quick-tongued and always right Hasn′t being right just let you down (right just let you down)
So listen I′m not trying to say anything at all here There isn′t much left anyway that hasn′t been said But don′t you think that possibly this time its different Don′t you think that maybe this time you were wrong?
So listen I′m not trying to say anything at all here There isn′t much left anyway that hasn′t been said But don′t you think that possibly this time its different Don′t you think that maybe this time you were wrong?
So listen I′m not trying to say anything at all here There isn′t much left anyway that hasn′t been said But don′t you think that possibly this time its different Don′t you think that maybe this time you were wrong?
J′s locked out on the fire escape. Sar′s still down on the bench at the Circle K, crying and crying all day. Everybody′s best attempts didn′t do no good. No sign of life. No sign of life. No sign of life. No sign. But I got a hunch: Oh, it′s not over yet. Oh, it′s not over yet.
Kate broke down on Division Street. Air so wet you can hear your heart beat, and beat, and beat, and beat. Oh, I swear I gave it my best shot, what else could I do? No sign of life. No sign of life. No sign of life. No sign. But I got a hunch: Oh, it′s not over yet. Oh, it′s not over yet.
Oooh J′s locked out on the fire escape. (J′s locked out on the fire escape.) Sar′s still down on the bench at the Circle K, crying and crying all day. And everybody′s best attempts couldn′t do no good. No sign of life. No sign of life. No sign of life. No sign. But I got a hunch: Oh, it′s not over yet. Oh, it′s not over yet. Oh, it′s not over yet! oooh! oooh! oooh! Oh, it′s not over yet. (Js locked out on the fire escape) Oh, it′s not over yet. (Js locked out on the fire escape) Oh, it′s not over yet. (Js locked out on the fire escape) Oh, it′s not over yet!
