A monster lives in your backyard.
the 2x4′s are making their way around.
the big get bigger when the fight
i found that secret door.
a man with a shovel
a house.
a catalog full of nothing good.
the white house ponders no remorse.
the big get bigger when the fight
i found that secret door.
a man with a shovel
a house.
it seems like a drag to be torn apart by unexpected hands.
it
Play your hand.
don′t play it off.
don′t play that game.
out of touch.
there is no pride in seconds lost.
first cello suite.
I know I′m late.
what do you care.
stop dragging feet.
we can′t go back for seconds lost.
smooth the sheets.
no one was here and never will.
wind your watch for seconds gone.
drive by don′t stop.
hate wins don′t stop.
guilt won′t let you because you let it.
because you lost.
Don′t bother going through your motions.
Nothing that makes sense ever works out.
Don′t kid yourself, you know they want money.
Nothing can be good on its own merit.
Put your trust in simple acts.
Make the flyers get them up all over town.
Don′t kid yourself, you know they want money.
Please keep in sight what makes you care.
You have it always.
Spinning and spinning.
Dancing in plastic, shake-up snow.
Do you believe in what you want?
Your camera flash.
On us, meaningless.
You cannot waste a single night.
What you ignore is priceless to me.
Let the water come
She′s the only one I love
Let the fat man draw
She′s the sweetest honey pot
Will they see the sky again?
Who will sing they′re blues for them?
Let the factory′s rust
She′s the only thing I trust
Let the virus spread
She′s the silk lining in my bed
Will they breath our again?
Who will sing they′re blues for them?
When your feeling moot
You can have your conscious all you want
You can say I do nothing yeah
I put it off
Where you gonna go if they come for you?
Will there be someone left to sing your blues?
Where you gonna run when they come for you?
Will there be someone to sing your blues?
What′s wrong baby, don′t they treat you like they should?
Did you take ′em for it?
Every penny that you could?
We once walked out on the beach and once I almost touched your hand.
Oh how I dreamed to finally say such things then only to pretend.
Don′t you know I′m thinkin′, drivin′ 405 past midnight.
You know I miss you.
Don′t you know that I miss you?
Ninth and Ash on a Tuesday night.
I would write to you from a museum mile, toast to you:
your whisper, your smile.
Up the stairs at the Weatherford, a ghost each place I hide.
If you don′t don′t know, why would you say so?
Would you mean this please if it happens?
If you don′t know, why would you say so?
Won′t you get your story straight.
If you don′t know, honey, why′d you just say so?
And I need this now more than I ever did.
If you don′t well, honey, then you don′t.
I left you waiting, at the least could we be friends?
Should have never started, ain′t that the way it always ends?
On my life I′ll try today, there′s so much I′ve felt I should say, but.
Even if your heart would listen, doubt I could explain.
If you don′t don′t know, why′d you say so?
Would you mean this please if it happens?
If you don′t know, why would you say so?
Won′t you get your story straight.
If you don′t know, honey, why′d you just say so?
Cause I need this now more than I ever did.
If you don′t well, honey, then you don′t.
So here we are now, a sip of wine a sip of water.
Someday maybe, maybe someday we′ll be smarter.
And I′m sorry that I′m such a mess, I drank all my money could get and,
took everything you let me have and then I never loved you back.
If you don′t don′t know, why would you say so?
Would you mean the please if it happens?
If you don′t know, why would you say so?
Won′t you get your story straight?
If you don′t know, honey, why′d you just say so?
Cause I need this now yeah need this, need this.
If you don′t well, honey, then you don′t
And if you don′t well, honey, then you don′t
If you don′t know, honey, honey, then you don′t.
With a turn and a twist she gets her wish
just a smile makes her who she wants.
It′s the smoke from the spark when the sulfur hits
it turns into an inspiration.
With a splash and a twist we′ll both get pissed
and leave after we hear our songs.
Just the smoke from the spark when the sulfur hits
she just remembered she felt something.
So much for see you around
so much for seeing at all
don′t leave me in the trivia
Give it a name and that′s how it stays
over the threshold
I was scared but once I thought about, I let it go
Everything she said to me I guess I oughta know
We′re all tired of talk when it comes to shove
Put up, put out or stay at home.
Chorus:
Never be the same, never feel this way again
I give you anything but you want pain.
A little water please, I taste you all over my teeth
And never again. Just tonight? Ok
All at once the music stopped, the feeling went away
An ugly picture, me and you, but nothing I can change
You know what happens with the lights back on
The less you know the more you want (you want, you want)
Chorus x3
Could′ve been a night like any other
One of us has to drive
One of us gets to think
I′ll force a laugh to break the silence
It′s gonna get harder still
Before it gets easy
You can′t keep safe what whats to break
I′m alone in this
I′m all as I′ve always been
Right behind what′s happening
She′s all lost in this
She′s all like she′ll always be
A little far for me to reach
I was just a boy like every other
I thought I was something fierce
I thought I was ten times smarter
Love would be something that I just know
(Something I just know)
How you gonna know the feeling till you′ve lost it
I′ve been losing plenty since
I′m alone in this
I′m all as I′ve always been
Right behind what′s happening
She′s all lost in this
She′s all like she′ll always be
A little far for me to reach
Maybe something else I′m missing
Something good and your the reason
It′s a dream but there′s a real long wedding
I′m alone in this
I′m all as I′ve always been
Right behind what′s happening
She′s all lost in this
She′s all like she′ll always be
A little far for me to reach
I′m alone in this
I′m all as I′ve always been
Right behind what′s happening
She′s all lost in this
She′s all like she′ll always be
A little far for me to reach
It′s how the hustle goes, see what the jukebox knows.
Put my last quarter on, I play "Authority Song".
Honesty or mystery?
Tell me I′m not scared anymore.
I got no secret purpose, I don′t seem obvious do I?
I don′t seem obvious do I?
The DJ never has it, J A M C Automatic.
If those were Roy′s headphones, you bet he′d play "What Goes On".
Honesty or mystery?
Tell me I′m not scared anymore.
I got no secret purpose, I don′t seem obvious do I?
I don′t seem obvious do I?
Oh I′m here, that means something doesn′t it?
Oh won′t you dance with me a little bit?
Oh you don′t notice, ′cause the music′s too loud.
It′s how the hustle goes, see what the jukebox knows.
Put my last quarter on, I play "Authority Song".
Honesty or mystery?
Tell me I′m not scared anymore.
Say anything you want already I′m not scared anymore.
Honesty or mystery?
Want something else?
Just tell me I′m not scared anymore.
I got no secret purpose, I don′t seem obvious do I?
I don′t seem obvious do I?
Don′t leave without intentions of ever coming back.
vacation. you take them if you wanted you′d ask them.

so new yet fading.

and you know I almost lost my will to live.
[we′ll show] and tell time to your friends.
The longest time away.
think last time the friends we made.
the longest time away.
best friend is too cheap to stay.
of course i′ll go with you, not every day i get to.
of course i′ll stay with you, how often.
pictures tell so much.
they remind me often.
your voice brings back so much... situations.
between the money and your every move, acceptance.
between the money and your every move.
we both know things never change.
we both know static prevails.
take a seat at your request.
five years i′m still there.
the longest time away, my friend.
On a Sunday I′ll think it through.
On the drive back I′ll think it through.
What you wish for won′t come true.
Live with that.
On a Sunday she thought it through.
Now as I drive back, there′s thirty-six less hours I have to change the course I send myself.
Live with that.
On a Sunday go once around.
Because when the rides done, the hopes that you have carried, they fall out from your hands back to
the ground.
Live with that.
Learn as the drugs leave.
Learn as you lose it.
You will.
The haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday.
The time I would spend with pictures I would not send.
I watched you go from left to right.
I followed you all night across my blinds.
You′ll change your mind come Monday and turn your back on me.
You′ll take your steps away with hesitance.
Take your steps away from me.
I′m making my peace, making it with distance.
Maybe that′s a big mistake.
You know I′m thinking of you.
I miss you.
You′ll change your mind come Monday and turn your back on me.
You′ll take your steps away with hesitance.
You′ll take your steps away from me.
You′ll change your mind come Monday and turn your back on me.
Take your steps away with hesitance.
Take your steps away from me.
I′ll take your words as if you were talking to me.
Say what I know you′ll say and say it through your teeth.
With pride keep every failure in.
And with pride hold on to the sinking.
Now in the deep and down your heart moves.
Now in the deep and down, I don′t know how but I know I want out.
Wait for something better.
Will I know when it can be us?
Maybe that doesn′t mean us.
Wait for something better?
I shouldn′t, it′s not enough.
Pull one excuse from another.
Just one excuse from another.
This time it means us. stop.
[Originally by Heatmiser]
Well you shouldn′t doctor yourself
Well I pictured somebody else
Someone who looks like what I look like
Would you say that the one of your dreams
Got in you and ripped out the seams
That′s what I′d say
That′s what I′d say
He was a sucker for your double dose
Mother fucker turned white as a ghost
Don′t you say hi
Don′t you say hi
With your broken sink for a face
In a head that just takes up space
He′s not half right
He′s not half right
It′s already half past
And it won′t last
I was sticking up for my friend
When there′s nothing much to defend
It′s a lost fight
It′s a lost fight
Cause when I talk to you on the phone
Well, it′s just like being alone
It′s not half right
It′s not half right
I don
but I don
I don
but I don
I don
I don
When It
Yep I
What about yourself now?
You
So now you
Wishing, to get your face up anyway.
Give it up dish it out now take it back now lift it up, turn it back now one more.
When it
Take your hand to rest with your head.
Yep I
Laying on the floor at 6:30 and you
Say you want it so, so.
Just say it right you want me.
didn′t mean to leave you hanging on
I didn′t mean to leave you all alone
I didn′t know what to say
I didn′t know what to say
[Repeat]
Merry Christmas, baby.
(Merry Christmas, baby)
[Repeat 3x]
Faintest snow keep falling.
oh, yeah
Hands around your waist
Nameless, standing cold, standing cold. like a breath. like a breath
Take in restraint like a breath.
My lungs are so numb from holding back.
Walk close to the fence.
Feel it hit your clothes.
Turn and smile nice.
Smile , smile say goodnight. say goodnight. in a breath in a breath
Say goodnight in a breath.
Simple discourse breaks you clean, simple discourse breaks you clean in half.
Regret.
Do try it once and then you know.
Your move.
Settle for nothing less again.
like a breath, like a breath
take in restraint like a breath
my lungs are so numb from holding back
from holding back
I felt for sure last night
That once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me
I′m still driving away
And Im sorry every day
I wont always love these selfish things
I wont always live not stopping...
It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you
You′ll sit alone forever if you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
Im here and now Im ready
Holding on tight
Don′t give away the end,
The one thing that stays mine
Amazing still it seems
Ill be 23
I wont always love what Ill never have
I wont always live in my regrets
Youll sit alone forever if you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
Im here and now Im ready
Holding on tight
Dont give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
Youll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
Im here and now Im ready
Holding on tight
Dont give away the end
The one thing that stays mine...
I came up like everyone, they taught us all the same
I said what they told me to say, and then from that they grade.
Give up repeating the facts, but that could be arranged
Here I am, I′ll take my chance
Now play the record straight.
Now give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Talking points from talking heads with automotive smiles
There′s no higher ground to stand than bottom of the pile.
Give up acting unaware, you can′t ignore the crime
The enemy is you as well, the enemy is I
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Not in my name, you don′t speak for me
I am my voice, and I want to scream
You want my air, you want my life
I act as one, but I′m not alone.
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
This is where our diligence has lead
The waves roll in to claim our patient steps
Can we become more than just ourselves?
And leave the sand, I wonder will I doubt
It′s firefight, I won′t run.
They′re spitting spite all through my blood
For you and me, there′s nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there′s no one else alive
This is now the moment after next.
All these silver eyes of the temptress
Why open the door if you won′t go?
Don′t ask twice if you don′t wanna know.
It′s firefight, I won′t run.
They′re spitting spite all in my blood
For you and me, there′s nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there′s no one else alive
Is there an answer?
If it′s an honest one, honestly worth this question
There′s no question
The city has no limits
I am who I wanna be, but you could be anything
Just be anything here with me.
Endless quotes and with the secondhand
If you let go then that′s where time will stand.
It′s firefight, I won′t run.
They′re spitting spite all through my blood
For you and me, there′s nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there′s no one else alive
It′s firefight, I won′t run.
They′re spitting spite all through my blood
For you and me, there′s nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there′s no one else alive.
Stay with me
Your the one that I need
You make the hardest things
Seem easy
Keep my heart
Somewhere drugs don′t go
Where the sun shine slows
Always keep me close
If only you could see
The stranger next to me
You promised you promised that your done
But I cant tell you from the drugs
Don′t let go
We′′ll dig a great big hole
Down an endless hole
We′ll both go
You′re so blind!
You can′t save me this time
Hope comes from inside
And I feel so low tonight
If only you could see the stranger next to me
You promise, you promise that you′re done
But I can′t tell you from the drugs
I wish that you could see
This face in front of me
You′re sorry swear it you′r done
But I can′t tell you from the drugs
(Take me)I need your hand (so far)to pull me up
Take the wheel (take me) out from me (so far)
Out from me
If only you could see the stranger next to me
You promise, you promis that you′re done
But I can′t tell you from the drugs
I wish that you could see
This face in front of me
You′re sorry, you swear it, you′re done
But I can′t tell you from the drugs
Keep my heart
somewhere drugs don′t go
Where the sun shines slows
always keep me close
I, I always believed in futures
I hope for better in November
I try the same losing lucky numbers
It could be a cold night for a lifetime
Hey now, you can′t keep saying endlessly:
My darling, how long until this affects me?
Say hello to good times
Trade up for the fast ride
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets completely
I, I always could count on futures
That things will look up, and they look up
Why, so hard to find a balance
Between living decent and the cold and real
Hey now, what is it you think you see?
My darling, now′s the time to disgaree
Say hello to good times
Trade up for the fast ride
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets completely
Hey now, the past is told by those who win
My darling, what matters is what hasn′t been
Hey now, we′re wide awake and we′re thinking
My darling, believe your voice can mean something
Say hello to good times
Trade up for the fast ride
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets
completely
If you′re listening
Sing it back.
Strung from your tethered unwinds
Up and outward to bind.
I was spinning free with a little sweet and simple numbing me.
Are you listening?
Sing it back.
So tell me what do I need
When words lose their meaning.
I was spinning free with a little sweet and simple numbing me.
Yeah, stumble until you crawl.
Sinking into sweet uncertainty.
Are you listening?
If you′re listening,
Sing it back.
I′m still running away.
I won′t play your hide and seek game.
I was spinning free with a little sweet and simple numbing me.
What a dizzy dance.
This sweetness will not be concerned with me.
No the sweetness will not be concerned with.
I got lonely and 32 times whose been in jail.
I love stealing, I love feeling watched by you.
And I will never go down downtown.
And I will always have my head held down.
Can see it in your eyes, everything
I think I did it.
What you looking at?
They′ll kicked the gas.
It
Dirty dirty dirty dirty me you
Can
And I will never go down downtown.
And I will always have my head held down.
Can see it in your eyes, everything
I think I did it
What you looking at?
He′ll kick the gas.
It
And I will never go down downtown.
And I will always have my head held down.
"Is tomorrow just a day like all the rest."
How could you know just what you did?
So full of faith yet so full of doubt I ask.
Time and time again you said don′t be afraid.
"If you believe you can do it."
The only voice I want to hear is yours.
Again.
I shall ask you this once again.
And again.
He said:
" I am but one small instrument."
Do you remember that?
So here I am above palm trees so straight and tall.
You are smaller, getting smaller.
But I still see you.
You close your eyes and kiss your hand then you blow it.
Why isn′t it for me, and I noticed
If the choice was ours alone,
Then why′d we both choose letting go?
Does it end like this?
Time never had a chance to heal your heart
Just remember always counting down to a new start
You always knew the truth
And the world would spin around you
Are you dizzy yet?
Respectfully, so honestly I′m asking now
Do you hear the conversation we talk around?
Back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there′s half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine, we show it off.
I′ll talk and not a lot to think, we live in dreams
And she never quit close to our naked feet
If there′s something left to lose,
Then don′t let me wear out my shoes
That I still walk in.
I tried, but it rang and rang, I called all night
On a payphone, remember those from another life?
If everything I meant to you,
You can′t lick and seal then fold in two
Then avenge so blind.
Respectfully, so honestly I′m asking now
Do you hear the conversation we talk around?
Back the way to the safety of a quiet house
If there′s half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine, we show it off.
Oh, oh take it all back, take the first, the last and only.
Oh, oh take it all back, take it all back,
Everything you showed me.
Oh, oh, this must be how it feels
I told you as I haven′t, I never felt this way
I said I have this chocolate stocked my car
Baby it′s okay
You said you never had regrets
She says "there′s someone else"
Who got that wish, did you get your claim?
Respectfully, so honestly I′m asking now
Do you hear the conversation we talk around?
I′ll back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there′s half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine, we show it off.
Lay back baby and we
There
I
The cold can kill us before fumes
Now
Get something to say what I can
Do you feel bad, like I feel bad?
We
Kiss me with your cherry lipstick
Never wash you off my face
Hit me I can take your cheap shot
Leave you with the love we made
Come alive on the driver
So close I taste your breath
Your lips go dry, but there′s sweet inside
Wine must go right to your head
It
But three fingers point back to you
We could stay here
Stay out all night
No one will know, us and the moonlight
Kiss me with your cherry lipstick
Never wash you off my face
Hit me, I can take your cheap shot
Leave you with the love we mae
I set my watch by street side clock
A needle in echo groove
You pierce my heart like a willing arm
Your ticking makes my blood move
There
This fade out
Be happy to get what you do
Make him notice...
with both fists
Cause quitting alone will never get you dry
Give me everything me you′ve got now
I don
Drag me out into the cold rain
Let it hover over me
Kiss me with your cherry lipstick
Never wash you off my face
Hit me, I can take your cheap shot
Leave you with the love we made
Hit me, I can take your cheap shot
Leave you with the love we made
Hit me, I can take your cheap shot
Leave you with the love we made
I′ve spent my last nights
strung up and pulled tight.
Holding out, sleep and grow.
An answer comes without a please:
′Do what you want.′
[Chorus:]
Wonder why I′m so caught of guard when we kiss.
Rather live my life in regret then do this.
What happened to the love we both knew?
We both chased.
Hanging on a cigarette you need me,
you burn me you′ll burn me.
Hushed with a finger
Don′t say you′ll never when you might,
or just another time.
This poison comes instruction free.
Do what you want, but I′m drinking.
Wonder why I′m so caught off guard when we kiss.
Rather live my life in regret then do this.
What happened to the love we both knew?
We both chased.
Hanging on a cigarette you need me,
you burn me you′ll burn me.
Lie lie better next time, stay on my side tonight oh
Lie lie better next time, stay on my side tonight oh
Lie lie better next time, stay on my side tonight oh
Lie lie better next time, stay on my side tonight oh
Lie lie better next time, stay on my side tonight oh
Lie lie better next time, stay on my side tonight oh
Lie lie better next time, stay on my side tonight oh
Lie lie better next time, stay on my side tonight oh [continues through chorus]
Wonder why I′m so caught of guard when we kiss
I′d rather live my life in regret than do this
What happened to the love we both knew, we both chased
Hanging on a cigarette you need me you burn me you′ll burn me
What happened to the love we both knew, we both chased
Hanging on a cigarette you need me you burn me you′ll burn me.
I see it around me, I see it in everything.
I could be so much more than this.
I said my goodbye′s this is my sundown.
I′m gonna be so much more than this.
With one hand high, you′ll show them your progress.
You′ll take your time, but no one cares.
No one cares.
I need you to show me the way from crazy.
I wanna be so much more than this.
With one hand high, you′ll show them your progress.
You′ll take your time, but no one cares.
With one hand high, you′ll show them your progress.
You′ll take your time, but no one cares.
No one cares.
I could be so much more than this.
No one cares.
I wanna be so much more than this.
No one cares.
I could be so much more than this.
No one cares.
I wanna be so much more than this.
No one cares.
I wanna be so much more than this.
No one cares.
I wanna be so much more than this.
Good goodbye lovely time.
Good goodbye tin sunshine.
Good goodbye I′ll be fine.
Good goodbye, good goodnight.
Fingers in, listen what voices say.
you always wrote for me, ego.
risk worth taking risk worth leaving.
seems i′m still afraid to promise.
too big to stop too big to hold on to.
trade up for the fast ride.
trade your friends.
train passes us.
pulling your teeth you push away.
cancel plans, cancel them all.
check your breath for cold and hold on.
please hold on.
no pictures left to burn good-bye to.
the smell of ash and white walls blank.
phase passes us.
horizontal lines and button up.
the drawers of paper all say one thing.
like music boxes custom made.
time passes us.
don′t move.
be still.
be silent.
Falling off this cycle
and it really ticks me off when you calculate this time and place.
looking over shoulders,
can always be like what it seems when you were left to my old man.
i am why you bring me here,
tear these cloths down when we fight.
back around these towers.
like something you don
like yesterday when you were found.
adding up misfortunes can always seem like holidays when you were sent to be the one.
i am why you bring me here tear these cloths down when we fight.
it
i can
our fortunes have been retrieved by humans who knew me they
used me to get what
they
i
i want revenge.
(ok Tom take a drink now...)
My oh my, can you save my life?
It doesn
Hey now look at you, way cool, on time.
There
Sit tight, she
A ok and that
Hey now look at you, way cool on time.
(hey, hey guys, hey I think......)
There′s a chance, one of us will give in soon
I could ask, but what′s an answer gonna prove?
I tried to get mad, but the fever drops
My heart can′t break ′cause the beating stops
Yeah, suck that lucky feeling right outta me.
Wanna wrath, take a look around the room
It′s a dance, tired steps in brand new shoes
I can only take a guess what morning brings
If it feels too good, then it probably is.
Yeah, suck that lucky feeling right outta me
I follow your sign, wherever it leads I go.
But you turned your back so easily,
It tells me everything I need, yeah.
Waiting for the line to move a foot, yeah
Wasting my life on nothing good
Suck that lucky feeling right outta me
I should apt to tie it down or cut you loose
It′s a trap, and I′m sure I should not move.
When I try to sing along, the needle skips
I′m hoping that I′m wrong, but the half is friction
Suck that lucky feeling right outta me
Yeah you sucked that lucky feeling right outta me.
Yeah you sucked that lucky feeling right outta me, yeah.
Hold them down, our bleeding suspects
(Just because, just ′cause, just who are you?)
By candle light, burn burn burn, baby
(Burn, burn, whose turn, Who gets a taste today?)
[Chorus]
We′ve done nothing wrong,
But we′ve done nothing
We can′t look away,
But we′re just looking
It′s second nature to say,
We′ve done nothing wrong!
Turn them off, our blacklist singers
(Don′t ask why, don′t cry, don′t make a scene)
On 45, spin spin spin, give in
(Spin spin, who wins, who′s not afraid to play?)
We′ve done nothing wrong,
But we′ve done nothing!
We can′t look away,
But we′re just looking!
It′s second nature to say,
Hey hey hey, we′ve done nothing but -
Nothing but take what′s handed down,
Said nothing but what′s approved to shout
We wanna know that we own the cake we′re eating
Then spit it out! Out, out...
Hold them down (burn, burn)
Hold them down, our bleeding suspects
Turn them off (turn, turn)
Turn them off, our blacklist singers
[Chorus]
We′ve done nothing wrong!
We′ve done nothing wrong!
I can
And I
See you in the morning.
Can
Underground, go crazy afterall because it
We all know, just plain and simple, nothing ever goes my way.
And I
And I
See you in the morning.
Can
Underground, go crazy afterall because it
We all know, just plain and simple nothing ever goes my way.
And I know I′m all alone
Say your name slowly
And I know that I′m alone
But I′ll carry you
Does it feel good like a memory
When you try some history
It′s a dream to come around
But who doesn′t then,
Because the taste doesn′t taste the same again
It′s easy feeling righteous when you′re new
All you′ll get is what you wanna hear
It hurts because it should
How else am I to make it clear?
I could never be the one that you want, don′t ask.
Well, here′s to living in the moment
′Cause it passed.
Maybe your life is what I need sometimes
You took the most and best of anyone
You said to "keep me in your pocket"
So I carried you
You better choose your words carefully
Because I′m not your anything
Gonna stay here in my place
And you′ll stay in yours because
Your only good is what you′re good for
I pace around the room to spend the time
Waiting while the burning pictures fade
Want a thing to make you mine
And another to say it′s fine
I could never be the one that you want, don′t ask.
Well, here′s to living in the moment
′Cause it passed, it passed.
I′m still carrying a little hope that
Maybe things could get different now
Is that so wrong, is that so wrong, is that so wrong?
Would I see you tonight
At a place we go?
I wanna make things right
Before time runs out.
Roll down the windows
Like you know they′re coming
Slap my face just to feel, to feel you there again
I could never be the one that you want, don′t ask.
Well, here′s to living in the moment
′Cause it passed.
I could never be the one that you want, don′t ask.
Yeah, here′s to living in the moment
′Cause it passed.
′Cause it passed, it passed, it passed.
The first star I see may not be a star.
We can′t do a thing but wait.
So let′s wait for one more.
The time such clumsy time in deciding if it′s time.
I′m careful but not sure how it goes.
You can loose yourself in your courage.
The mindless comfort grows when I′m alone with my ′great′ plans.
This is what she says gets her through it:
"If I don′t let myself by happy now then when?"
If not now when?
When the time we have now ends.
When the big hand goes round again.
Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?
Close my eyes and believe wherever you are, an angel for me.
Here you can be anything.
I think that scares you.
I′ve been here before but only by myself.
What giving up gives you and where giving up takes you.
I′ve had and I′ve been.
Here in centre frame, there′s only air.
Just enough space to fit.
I said it out loud over and over but what do I know.
I said it out loud but it did not help.
I′ll stop now.
Just so I can hear you I stay up as late as it takes, as long as it takes.
I promised I′d see it again.
I promised I′d see this with you now.
This time it′s on my own.
Minutes from somewhere else.
Somewhere I made a wish with Lucky Denver Mint.
Hurry go on ahead.
Good things won′t let you wait.
I′ll catch up when we get home.
At home I′ll leave.
A dollar under water keeps on dreaming for me.
You′re not bigger than this, not better.
Why can′t you learn.
I′m not alone cause the TV′s on yeah.
I′m not crazy cause I take the right pills everyday.
And rest, clean your conscious, clear your thoughts with speyside with your grain.
Clean your conscious, clear your thoughts with speyside.
Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt.
Our hearts littering the topsoil.
Tune in and we can get the last call.
Our lives, our coal.
Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt.
Our hearts littering the topsoil.
Sign up it′s the picket line or the parade.
Our lives.
I′m not alone cause the TV′s on yeah.
I′m not crazy cause I take the right pills everyday.
And rest, clean your conscious, clear your thoughts with speyside with your grain.
Clean your conscious, clear your thoughts with speyside.
Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt.
Our hearts littering the topsoil.
Tune in and we can get the last call.
Our lives, our coal.
Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt.
Our hearts littering the topsoil.
Sign up it′s the picket line or the parade, our lives.
(I bled the) greed from my arm.
Won′t they give it a rest now?
Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt.
Our hearts littering the topsoil.
Tune in and we can get the last call.
Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt, our hearts littering the topsoil.
Sign up it′s the picket line or the parade.
I
Carpet stains on the ground and I think I
Wake me, take me up upside down.
Head down, lay down.
No one is ever around when I need them most.
Ricochet, right now.
I
Carpet stains on the ground and I thought I found a way out Downstairs turn around.
Wake me, take me up upside down.
Hands down, lay down.
No one is ever around when I need them most.
Ricochet ricochet, right now
20 million miles away like something coming in.
A tidal wave from outer space and it
Step out of moving up you better stay on guard.
One defender disappeared and we want him back.
What are the kids going to be like in history?
It
Science can tell.
Got it all wrong.
The 18 in 86 it focused in our minds.
Wake up take up kill us all I
Step on up. moving up you better stay on guard.
One defender disappeared and we want him back.
What are the kids going to be like in history?
It
Science can tell.
Got it all wrong.
Take advantage of these times, you said.
You let me down.
It hasn′t been the first time.
As I′m falling in the pit of fire my mind′s made up.
I′m never coming back here.
How long would it take me to walk across the United States all alone.
The West coast has been traumatized.
I think I′m the only one still alive.
Is it just a coincidence to see you by yourself with no direction.
Now it′s time to move on.
Don′t you know that things aren′t getting better.
Don′t try and stop me.
Because I′m falling fast into this pit of fire which surrounds us all.
In a blanket of fear that I′ve been wrapped in for years.
You can′t stop me.
When the world caves in what are you going to do for me.
Jen,
Don′t be scared,Don′t be shy
We use to do this all the time
you know it Jen
Jen,
We could be happy now
So jet across the coast and country, Jen
Sometimes Jennifer,
Live for too long and then your chance is gone
The choice we′re meant to take
Is one they′ll never take
All you have to do is say
Jen,
I think you tried just a little hard
Acting like something you not
Jen
I wanna make you feel the way you should
You have to let things go to keep them close
What you′ll do today
Already has a name
Is anything but a mistake
Jen,
Don′t be scared, no don′t be shy
We used to do it all the time
Ya-Ya-You know it Jen
It′s you and me, what could that mean?
You can′t pretend we′re only friends then walk away.
ooooohh
oooohhh
oooooo
No one′s looking now
Take a chance, come on
Could do anything you want
Jen
Put your arms around someone soft
Take it as it comes, trust your heart
Trust me
You know it, Jen
Put your arms around someone soft
Take it as it comes, trust your heart
Trust me
Trust your heart, trust me
You know it, Jen
I′ll say it straight and plain
I know I′ve made mistakes
I′ve always been afraid
I′ve always been afraid
A thousand nights or more
I travelled east and north
Please answer the door
Can you tell me
You say that love goes anywhere
In your darkest time, it′s just enough to know it′s there
When you go, I′ll let you be
But you′re kill everything in me
Get down on your knees
Whisper what I need
Something pretty
Something pretty
I feel that when I′m old
I′ll look at you and know
The world was beautiful
Then you tell me
You say that love goes anywhere
In your darkest time, it′s just enough to know it′s there
When you go, I′ll let you be
But you′re killing everything in me
I′m done, there′s nothing left to show
Try but I can′t let go
Are you happy where you′re standing still?
Do you really want the sugar pill?
I′ll wake up tomorrow and I′ll start
Tonight it feels so hard
As a train approaches Gare Du Nord
As I′m sure your kiss remains employed
Am I only dreaming?
You say that love goes anywhere
In your darkest time, it′s just enough to know it′s there
When you go, I′ll let you be
But you′re killing everything in me
When you go, I′ll let you be
But you′re killing everything in me
We left behind the busy crowd.
So it seems we slow down.
Meet me with a way out through the lies.
Nowhere, going nowhere in the fake yellow light.
The feelings change so fast.
Safety scares them away.
I can′t bring myself to say it′s my own advice I need.
Nowhere and then nowhere.
Living trapped inside the chase.
Our weakness is the same.
We need poison sometimes.
So take another drink with me.
Blame no one.
Look in my eyes and blame no one.
Before this world starts up again
It′s me and night
We wait for the sun
The kids and drunks head back inside
Well there′s lots of smart ideas in books I′ve never read
When the girls come talk to me I wish to hell I had
(Get Up, Get Up) Turn on ignition
(Get Up, Get Up) Fire up the system
Play my little part in something big
I′ll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they′ll say ′All the salt in the world couldn′t melt that ice′
I′m the one who gets away
I′m a New Jersey success-story
And they′ll say ′Lord, give me a chance to shake that hand′
(They′ll say)
Back when I was younger I was someone you′d′ve liked
Got an old guitar I′d had for years I′d let you buy
And I′ll tell you something else that you ain′t dying enough to know
There′s still some living left when your prime comes and goes
(Get Up, Get Up) Dance on the ceiling
(Get Up, Get Up) Boy, you must be dreamin′
Rock on young saviour, don′t give up your hopes
I′ll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they′ll say ′All the salt in the world couldn′t melt that ice′
I′m the one who gets away
I′m a New Jersey success-story
And they′ll say ′Lord, give me a chance to shake that hand′
I have one last wish
And it′s from my heart
Just let me down
Just let me down
(easy)
I′ll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they′ll say ′All the salt in the world couldn′t melt that ice′
I′m the one who gets away
I′m a New Jersey success-story
And they′ll say ′Lord, give me a chance to shake his hand′
(They′ll say)
When you′re on, I swear you′re on.
You rip my heart right out.
You rip my heart right out.
I think the whole room can hear me clear my throat.
You rip my heart right out.
You rip my heart right out.
If you still care at all, don′t go, tell me now.
If you love me at all, don′t call.
Then out of nowhere, put me right back there.
Rip my heart out, you rip my heart right out.
And we know what happens when we get to your house.
Rip my heart out, you′ll rip my heart right out.
If you still care at all, don′t go, tell me now.
If you love me at all, please don′t, tell me now.
If you still care at all, don′t go, tell me now.
If you love me at all, don′t call.
I throw away everything I′ve written you.
Oh anything just keep my mind off of it, thinking how I had you once.
No, I can′t forget that.
Sometimes I wish I could loose you again.
You′re winning me over with everything you say.
You rip my heart right out.
You rip my heart right out.
When I let you closer, I only want you closer.
You rip my heart right out.
You rip my heart right out.
If you still care at all, don′t go, tell me now.
If you love me at all, please don′t, tell me now.
Yeah, if you still care at all, don′t go, tell me now.
If you love me at all, don′t call.
If you love me at all..
