She's got an angel's face and the devil's eyes
Her deadly touch will turn your arm to stone
She's down on herself to do you harm
Maybe tonight she'll get your back to the wall

(Steppin' into the night)
She'll take you down
(Street ready)
Don't wanna mess around
(Steppin' into the night)
She'll take you down
(Street ready)
Whoa street ready

She cuts at our arm to catch a wicked smile
You can tell by her heart she's nasty and wild
She gets what she wants with her dirty deeds
I'm tellin' you now she'll have you down on your knees

(Steppin' into the night)
She'll take you down
(Street ready)
Don't wanna mess around
(Steppin' into the night)
She'll take you down
(Street ready)
Whoa street ready

Ooh-ooh
You really got it coming
Before the night is gone
Angel of mercy on your heavenly deed
Just give it to me, yeah!

Steppin'
(Steppin' into the night)
She'll take you down
(Street ready)
Don't wanna mess around, no, no
(Steppin' into the night)
She's gonna take you down
(Street ready)
Whoa street ready

(Steppin' into the night)
She's ready, she's ready
(Street ready)
Oh street ready
(Steppin' into the night)
She's ready, she's ready
(Street ready)
Whoa street ready

When I walk to the Valley of Death
I fear no evil
The dark shadows hanging over my head
Cast a doubt with a wink of an eye

You won't catch me running from you
Cause I always keep you in my view
The blackened pose is the house of the night
She might find it, how about you?

Don't stop me by taking a rest
I feel my wheels
The full moon gives me all the help
The wolf on the prowl tonight

I couldn't hear but from the town below
To me nothing I don't already know
Is this danger that weilds the wager
Your way to get to the show

I'm not afraid of what I may not be
See me take it if you give me a chance
See me do it, see me do it
Say I can't do that, gonna do what you say I can

Don't stop me by taking a rest
I feel my wheels
The full moon gives me all the help
The wolf on the prowl tonight

I like to get around
No one's gonna slow me down
The ace of spades is my lucky card
Better buy me a drink, better make it hard

Take a chance

Nothing stop me now

That's what I want, yeah

I rule the land of the unknown
The underground my only home
Know me the cryptic king
I can get you anything
I know I'm vicious off the chain
Evil world is where I reign
My chaos multiplies
No one here gets out alive

You won't turn me down

I keep an Uzi under my front seat
The competition's buried six feet deep
Dirty cops on the take getting paid by me

I am the law!
Run with the cryptic king
I am the law!

Buying lives and selling souls
Like the serpent days of old
Temptation leads the way
Keeping me alive
I know I'm vicious off the chain
Evil world is where I reign
My chaos multiplies
No one here gets out alive

I keep an Uzi under my front seat
The competition's buried six feet deep
Dirty cops on the take getting paid by me

Run with the cryptic king

Sorcerers play here where witches prey
You'll be here forever
Time will tell when you heal your bell
Stop this spell I am not for Hell

Demons chant, try and escape you can't
You'll be here forever
Time will tell when you heal your bell
Stop this spell I am not for Hell

Step out of the darkness and into the light
Only a coward will hide in the blackness of night
I make a challenge to you now,
If you will allow me to be free

Take off these chains that bind me
Fight the rage that's inside me
Choose your sword
I have the power at my side
More than you can realise
I have the Lord

Sorcerers play here where witches prey
You'll be here forever
Time will tell when you heal your bell
Stop this spell I am not for Hell

All the ships at sea once called her a distant illusion
They voyage from east to west searching from hell to the heavens again
Forgotten at sea, ablaze in the sun
Forever she'll be a princess of love
I feel the fire burning
The legend ship Princess of Love

In the firelight the false silhouette seems to drive you
Keeps sailing for has no end, destiny seems to have done you again
Burning at sea the flames in the sun
Forever she'll be a princess of love

I feel the fire burning
I see the spark that drives her on
I feel the raging fury
The phantom ship Princess of Love

Without the care of fear
She's just a raging tide
From nowhere she'll appear,
Flash before your eyes

I feel the fire burning
I see the spark that drives her on
I feel the raging fury
The phantom ship Princess of Love

I feel the fire burning
I see the spark that drives her on
I feel the raging fury
The phantom ship Princess of Love

I feel the fire burning
I see the spark that drives her on
I feel the fire burning

We rage, rage in the cage
Competition's out to waste you
They'll find their little ways
To try to get rid of you

The crimes that are against you
Leave your past behind

Doomsday – holiday – derail this train
Going off the deep end with you

No time for contracts
It can't be taken
Unless it's torn right out of you
Mirrored reflections
Life's rejections
And they'll pin them right on me

The crimes that are against you
Leave your past behind

Doomsday – holiday – derail this train
Going off the deep end with you

You better say your prayers
Inside a suicide rapes
Prowling the land eating time
There is no compromise
Retrieving the life that is mine

Doomsday – holiday – derail this train
Going off the deep end with you
Deep end with you
Deep end with you

I hear the voices fade away, their voices fading away
I hear the voices fade away, their voices fading away

Wake up the little boy
Puppet to be destroyed
Your privacy betrayed
Take take take your life away

Cold silent words come out
Been stolen from your mouth
Corrupted me this way
No, I will not obey

Institutions
I hear the voices fade away, their voices fading away
Out to you I reach
I hear the voices fade away, their voices fading away
Through the walls I creep
I woke up inside to see the outside

Nightmares they strip away
Toxic humanity
Captive to my own mind
Fictions on which I thrive

Sick man's reality
Robs the awakening
Changes what once was real
Searching for what I feel

Institutions
I hear the voices fade away, their voices fading away
Out to you I reach
I hear the voices fade away, their voices fading away
Through the walls I creep
I woke up inside to see the outside
Did you get em

Born of god
We build a cage
Inside a saw
With no escape
My revelation
Now it takes control
Man's fallen, world asylum
Can't be, can't be
Is this what we deserve?

Institutions in my head
Institutions in your head
Institutions in my head
Institutions in your head

I see a bad moon rising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightning
I see a bad time today

Don't go out tonight
It's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

I see hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I feel the rivers overflowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruins

Don't go out tonight
It's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
There's a bad moon on the rise

Hope you have got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for a lie

Don't go out tonight
It's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
Oh Don't go out tonight
It's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
There's a bad moon on the rise
It's coming, it's coming, it's coming
There's a bad moon on the rise
Bad moon bad moon bad moon
There's a bad moon on the... rise!

I can sort through the rage
Creeping behind
You don't see me at all

Run through the streets
Fear my fate that might find you insane

No you need to
Kill and kill again!
Kill and kill again!
Kill and kill again!
Kill and kill again!

Try not to lose in the fight
You're not a player
Blood from the stab to your knife
Victim of mayhem, no!

If you knock on the door
Entrance can't stop in the end
It brings a curse and you're dead
And the words you discreet
Having no meaning to me
Blood flesh no!

Kill and kill again!
Kill and kill again!
Kill and kill again!
Kill and kill again!

Try not to lose in the fight
You're not a player
Fingers are pointing you true
You're the betrayer!

To satisfy my hunger I might
Kill again
I'm not asking for forgiveness
'Cause I know where I'll descend

I want to come
Flash on the light for me
No I want
Nothing that shines on me

Whenever I look into your eyes
Lord I feel the need
To keep you satisfied
And hold you close to me
Girl can't you see

Lonely is the night
There's only one more night till I go (Till I go)
On that lonely road (Lonely road)
I tell you how I feel
I'll show you that it's real
And I know (And I know)
When you hold me tight
I need all your love tonight

The time has come and I must go
But soon I will return
If the raging had desire
Cause the fire will always burn
In my heart for you

Lonely is the night
There's only one more night till I go (Till I go)
On that lonely road (Lonely road)
I tell you how I feel
I'll show you that it's real
And I know (And I know)
When you hold me tight
I need all your love tonight

Tonight
Can we make it last forever
I gotta know
Before I go
On the lonely road

Hold on
Hold on
I'm gonna try with all my might
Hold on
Hold on
No one gonna try to make it right
'Cause I need your love tonight
All your love
All your love

Lonely is the night
There's only one more night till I go (Till I go)
On that lonely road (Lonely road)
I tell you how I feel
I'll show you that it's real
And I know (And I know)
When you hold me tight

Lonely is the night
There's only one more night till I go (Till I go)
On that lonely road (Lonely road)
I tell you how I feel
I'll show you that it's real
And I know (And I know)
When you hold me tight
I need all your love tonight

Through her rage
You will feel a spell
I come untamed
By the emotions you compel
The liners breaks
And you'll know that's all I want to share
We raise the stakes
To mystify this last affair

Burning desire
You're my fire
Magical eyes – there's no disguise
Forever you're never alone
Magical eyes – for the first time
You've never been seen through before

Seem so unreal
Us sitting out as we are longing for
It takes a battlefield
With devotion wanting more

Burning desire
You're my fire
Magical eyes – there's no disguise
Forever you're never alone
Magical eyes – for the first time
You've never been seen through before

Burning desire
You're my fire
Magical eyes – there's no disguise
Forever you're never alone
Magical eyes – for the first time
You've never been seen through before
Magical eyes
Magical eyes
Magical eyes
Magical eyes

I'm on my way
To lose my mind
The situation will never change
Or the way I'm nasty kind

Once I start
I just can't stop
Control yourself is what they say
Just take me to the top

I might start a fight
Just to have a good time
And if the feeling feels alright
This time you'll be mine

Too much is never enough
I wanna see the light
What can I do to stay satisfied
Too much is never enough

Have you had too much
Or can you tell
Will you let me know now whether or not
If I can ring the bell

It's never too late
Why, you're so wise
Well you say too much, it ain't enough
I've been seein' it in your eyes

I might start a fight
Just to have a good time
And if the feeling feels alright, yeah
This time you'll be mine

Too much is never enough
I wanna see the light
What can I do to stay satisfied
Too much is never enough

I might start a fight
Just to have a good time
And if the feeling feels alright
This time you'll be mine

Too much is never enough
I wanna see the light
What can I do to stay satisfied
Too much is never enough

Some woman's watching down by the stairs
Seems to be talking but nobody cares
No one cares!

Rage and the violence
Killing the will to control
The bodies lie silent
Their last breath for the life they once owned
Now let's go!

Fighting in the shadows' rust
Fading reflections belonging to the dust
Blood in the rivers run to the sea at last
Voice of our brothers lost meaning of the past

Your chaos steals the night – in no one can you trust
Bleeding without a fight – you reach out for your crutch
We've all gone reckless, too reckless to believe
Lost souls in history

Fire in the heavens
Rising to burn flesh and bone
Rage from inside us
Takes us back where the light had once shone
Outside

The lifeless bodies turn to black – yeah!
Realise the venom onto the world's attack
Open the cages run free for all is wild
Bring all there is for me set free this long lost child

Your chaos steals the night – in no one can you trust
Bleeding without a fight – you reach out for your crutch
We've all gone reckless, too reckless to believe
Lost souls in history

Left on this earth to carry on
Realising creation's divine

Higher we fly never come down
Live or die
Fight for what's right facing your fears

Higher we fly never come down
Live or die
Fight for what's right facing your fears
Do or die

I hear the voices fade away, their voices fading away
I hear the voices fade away, their voices fading away

Lying here dying in a pool of blood
Dungeons and dragons death from above
Imprisoning in virtuality stop my addiction
No more lives to waste I can't lose
It should be criminal – no I'm not your prisoner

We are the mindless
Senseless and vacant
We are the violence
Blank and unconscious
Disconnect

Evil toys animated crimes
Increasing my death toll in a race against time
Immortality who's the new enemy
Simulated self destruction
Total self combustion once more
It should be criminal – no, I'm not a prisoner

We are the mindless
Senseless and vacant
We are the violence
Blank and unconscious
Disconnect

Disconnect – only one way to break free
Disconnect – can't you see what you are doing to me
Disconnect – only one way to break free
Disconnect – can't you see what you are doing to me

We are the mindless
Senseless and vacant
We are the violence
Blank and unconscious
We are the mindless
Senseless and vacant

Disconnect my mind from me. Disconnect my mind from me.
Disconnect my mind from me. Disconnect my mind from me.
Disconnect my mind from me. Disconnect my mind from me.

Disconnect!

Booked on section 647
Spent half the night just to get through this even
Out on bail back on the lonely highway
Back in jail underneath it my way

Time and time again
Just can't seem to win
Searching for the maker
I'm reaching for the taker

Just roaming around from place to place
All I am is a charity case
Gotta stay clear of the local court and the long arm of the law
Went to the city get what I can – had no luck at all

I just can't use the gun
I'm lost I haven't won
Searching for the maker

Just one more and that's all I had
No it's time for me to go
Wandering away from the way with erratic
Looking for the time of a show
Gotta get out of this bloody town
To see what can there be
Cause then I'm not here, I'm in here
Carrying on babe you see

Won't find me in high society
The spice of life is always what I obtain
Won't find me in a high class charity ball
I like to lay around and just do nothing at all

Time and time again
I just can't seem to win
Searching for the maker
I just keep on reaching for
I'm reaching for the taker

If you knew, what I know, would you try,
Before your time has run on you and worn you down?
Would you know what you desire in your heart?

If you knew, what I know, would you try?

Is there time? Is there time,
To follow just one desire?
Is there time? Is there time,
To follow your heart?

Dress your wounds.
Test your strength, face the night,
Crave the touch, feel the pain, know the signs.

Is there truth in your pain?
You decide.
If you knew, what I know, would you try?

Is there time? Is there time,
To follow just one desire?
Is there time? Is there time,
To follow your heart?

As we lie in the shade of poison trees,
Are we as safe as we let ourselves believe?

Fever Dreams
Can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks

They can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks

They can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks

They can only haunt you

Beneath your skin
And your games
You're alone

But you're so contagious
Tell me, what am I to do?
When a fire, and a fever rages

And I have caught it too,
So who's to blame

Fever Dreams
They can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks
They can only haunt you

I've had enough of these moves
I've had enough of these moves
You get everything with
I've lost all I can lose
To your skill and your games

But you're so contagious, so contagious

Fever dreams
Can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks

They can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks

They can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks

They can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks

But you're so contagious
Tell me, what am I to do?
When a fire and a fever rages
And I have caught it too,
So who's blame
For who gets burned
For holding you?

Lay my bones,
At the feet of the ministry.
I need the guilt and the company.
I need the chance to be judged,
And then long forgotten.

Lately I just cant shake it.
I count the days in seconds and minutes.
Hours and hours and subtle as shards of glass,
In the skin.

So lay with me.
I could use the company.
You could help me ease,

These bones,
Are like maps and keys,
Where they took their hits,
And they felt those teeth.

There's a story hidden,
Underneath.
If you dig in deep,
Will you find relief,

For these bones,
Shudder all night long.
The hammer drops.
Another scar,
For these bones,
But I know,
They're only my second home.

Naked and under the cover of night.
It's just a matter of time 'til I'm,
Counted and measured and filed,
And then long forgotten.

Forgive my manner of speaking.
I know it's quick, but the clock is still ticking,
And I've got a few words left burning holes on my tongue.
I've been saving them.

So lay with me.
I could use the company.
You could help me ease,

These bones,
Are like maps and keys,
Where they took their hits,
And they felt those teeth.

Theres a story hidden,
Underneath.
If you dig in deep,
Will you find relief,

For these bones,
Shudder all night long.
The hammer drops.
Another scar,
For these bones,

But I know,
They're only my second home.

No, you won't go down alone.
No, you won't go down alone.
No, you won't go down alone.
No, you won't go down alone.

So lay with me.
I could use the company.
You could help me ease,

These bones,
Are like maps and keys,
Where they took their hits,
And they felt those teeth.

There's a story hidden,
Underneath.
If you dig in deep,
Will you find relief?

These bones,
Are like maps and keys,
Where they took their hits,
And they felt those teeth.

Theres a story hidden,
Underneath.
If you dig in deep,
Will you find relief,

For these bones?
'Cause I know,
That you won't go down alone.

Don't act like you've been silent.
I know how you spread that web of contradictions.
Why lie so much? Cover fire.

Keep watch for the mines.
Keep watch for the mines.

Be careful who you wave that tongue at around here.
I've seen smarter acts than your's get disappeared.
If you keep swinging that knife all over this town,
You are bound to get your own back stabbed.

Keep watch for the mines,
They conceal dangers.
The traps and the coils of the wires,
With the sharp razors.
The ditches and the trenches and the smiles,
Of the grave diggers.

And if you're told,
The answer needs no questioning.
The answer is a lie.

Keep watch for the mines.
Keep watch for the mines.
Keep watch for the mines. (Will they bleed everyone out,)
(Will they bleed everyone out,)
Keep watch for the mines. (Will they bleed everyone out,)
(Before they die?)
Keep watch for the mines. (Will they bleed everyone out,)
(Will they bleed everyone out,)
Keep watch for the mines. (Will they bleed everyone out,)
(Before they die?)

Keep watch for the mines,
They conceal dangers.
The traps and the coils of the wires,
With the sharp razors.
The ditches and the trenches and the smiles,
Of the grave diggers.

And if you're told,
The answer needs no questioning.
The answer is a lie.

Keep watch for the mines.
Keep watch for the mines.

Would it kill you to breathe easy?
Only 17 miles lay between you and me.
I could make it if I had to.
I don't break easily.
You got my counsel, thick as thieves.
If there's a crime, we'll keep it secret,
For there's only trace amounts left in your blood.
You may be a sinner,
But you may be justified.

Just keep your mouth shut.
Keep your guard up.
I swear I'll make it right.

Will it kill me to breathe?
Not as easy as you think it is.
Between you and me,
I could fake it if I have to.
I don't break easily.
I need your counsel, thick as thieves.
I have no crime to keep a secret.
It was hers, it was not mine.
Well I may be a sinner,
But it wasn't me this time.

Just keep your mouth shut.
Keep your guard up.
I swear I'll make it right.

Well, listen to yourself,
There is a hemorrhage in your mouth.
It won't stop bleeding.
Well, you may be the trigger.
I will hold the smoking gun.
You'll get away clean,
I'll keep your secrets 'til the grave has swallowed me.
And I will never tell a tortured soul there burning by my side,
That I am a sinner.
I am a savior.
I am a lie.

So keep your mouth shut.
Keep your guard up.
I swear I'll make it right.

Step on the stage
the lights, the praise,
the curtain calls and the big parade
You know that life all too well

Promise the pain, the valor, the rage
Hold up your hands for the bow and the wave
You know his touch a little too well

You throw yourself into their arms
Mistresses have all the fun
But no one's ever there to take you home

Box up your gloves and your down coats
Bound for the sun and the west coast
Where upper crust tragedy is abound

A tip for the girl at the coat check
The guy at the door and the bar back
They know your face oh so well

But movies never made you famous
All your dreams got lost or traded
And all you ever cared about got lost
You were surely still an actress older men would find attractive
And all you ever dreamed of was the cost

Where there's gold there's a gold digger
Where there's gold there's a gold digger
Where there's gold there's a gold digger
Where there's gold there's a gold digger
Where there's gold there's a gold digger
Where there's gold there's a gold digger

You throw yourself into their arms
Mistresses have all the fun
But no one's ever there to take you home

I'm tired of waiting in this hollow state, pushing aside things I want to say. It's taking my all to get out of bed. I'm pouring a drink to feel myself dead. The page is blank my pen is down; I'm working it out. It's been a while I've had something to say but my page is blank, my pen is down, I'm working it out. There's this feeling inside that's coming out, my page is blank my pen is down, I'm working it out. Put the pen to the paper, but it wouldn't move. My page is blank, my pen is down, and I'm working it out.

i get the feeling that i'm sinking in you
your hands go through me as i'm trying to
think back on a better time
like watching water in a rising tide
you might not know me right now
you think that i wasnt there, wanting to drown
shaking words in my face
pointed to all other things that i won't resist
pulling out my heart, and pull in one more drink to keep it calm
cause i think i've hit the breach
and this is all i can take to keep going on
and going on, and going on
you wont know me anymore

theres no sign
theres no chance
we'll get there in time
we couldnt find a place that night.
we were lost, and stuck together
we were lost with ourselves
and we were lost with each other

where's this place we need to be?
where's this place we need to see?

there's no sign.
theres no chance,
we'll get there in time.
if we could've found another place,
to see ourselves and crack the code,
we could've made them know,
there's no signs on that road.

caught in the space below.
with no signs of where to go.
your heart is just another road-
another place that i cant go..

so we sit and contemplate
"the world's become a big mistake."
but here we are in the middle,
trying to work out this riddle..

"oh, no," i said
i think about the times
the way you smile at me
and how we always kiss

and how we drank the sun
and killed the night
and fought the sleep and won
and how we left it all unmade

it was only once

now there's more than one
no, there's only one
now there's more than one
you're the only one
you're the only one
you're the only one

it's good to see
that you are doing well
and well enough to be
laughing here with me

'cause what we did
there's no excuse for it
you know i love you so
and i'd love to know what i did

it was only once

i want you to know
that i will always love you
and always be your friend
and never leave you again

the past is past
it's now, so we can go
and we can move ahead
i hope this letter gets read

if just only once

Out there in the yard now playing with their dad.
I�m amazed at how alike you are.
See now the strangeness because I feel so many things all at once,
it�s wonderful to see.
The smiles are everywhere,
the cold�s gone from the air the sun shines as they play my smile wont wipe away.
They�re laughing at you,
everything that you do.
You open your arms to them,
they run in to tackle you
it�s so good to see you now,
and times been good to you,
it just so amazing,
your smile is shining through.
Amazing how life can turn one day to the next you know.
I�ll figure out where I am and figure which way to go.

And stripes on fire, these hands are tired. I'm making plans to drink away all these words I can't escape. I have to try to make you stay. Because I'm alone, stay with me this time. Because what I'm feeling inside, I'm troubled or maybe I'm blind, but I just can't see how this is helping me. The stars are burning bright like the light that lights your eyes. Why couldn't I see that you were leaving? Because I'm alone, I need someone to be my friend. But I can't take anyone who can't stay until the end. And the stars are burning bright, the smoke is rising high, the stripes are on the street, from the mountain to the sea. Because friend you've done me wrong, left the spoils to the strong and preyed upon the weak, there's an end to you and me. Because a friend can understand that there's no trust to be had. You're just bouncing on your strings, a puppet on a screen. I'm not sure when you left, but it started with that theft, it seems it's been so long.

and there on the stairs,
standing there,
arm outstretched,
point and glare,
watching the love,
fall to our feet,
into the floor to disappear.

We're finding fault,
you kissed her
or you slept with him,
or you didn't care…

now it all breaks,
disintegrates.
Well this is the last thing I'll take
because I can't face you now.

This is the end, there's nothing to keep.
This is the end of you and me.
As the ice comes down it's the end,
as the lies come out it's the end,
as the tears flow out it's the end.
it's the end of you and me,

so we'll look out on the lake
and we see the white light.
I said it was gold.
It should have been gold.
Then maybe all the crazy things you said
would have some meaning,
but this thing we have made it can't stop,
it won't stop… and I can't face you now.
Take your troubles solo, this is the end of you and me.

Cause what I feel inside
I don't want to hide
It's you that's got to me
It's what I want to sing
Cause I've got a dream for us
Running threw my mind
Sitting on the beach
Looking at the sea
We are old and tired
And time has made us smile
As we go on counting things
People in the breeze
And we're not the only ones
There's hundreds on the shore
Looking at the sea
But it's just you and me
If the day never comes
I sink beneath the tide
Will you still be with me
And disappear?

Like a rush shot through you
Everyone is watching you

Told you why I see no need for the sun
(I've found a reason to say)
A love you light is a love soon gone
If this is it
Don't bother cause this love is a lie
I'm a chemical kid
You're a mechanical bride

(When every vein is red out of the blue)
I held a diamond to the sun
To count the moments on account of the way you
Smile, smile for me
(Oh, we're in slow motion when you)
Smile, smile for me

But, oh my God, I've been looking
But I still hold your breath so you won't leave
Pastel-red and porn star-white
Ghost on the altar
We breathe, don't leave

Say that the night sings alone
And if there's a God
Then I'm letting Him go
All for you, you alone
Raise my hands
At the thought of you leaving me alone

What if I... what if I...
What if I, I still care?

Don't torture me or beg me
Can you make me believe in tiring?
As you fall fast asleep, it reminds me
Of the slow symphonies behind me
(They sing along)

All the nightmares you'll see tomorrow
All the stars on your ceiling
They glow but not for you
Through the trees, I'll blow

(So long!)

Congratulations, break a leg tonight
What a shame I heard the understudy died under the knife
Crying backwards under bedroom lights
(The operation)

I don't think you'll ever want to love me
You'd better listen to your doctor, doctor
Sober up and bury the empty cup
In a backyard of Seattle we used to lie

When I sew you up, don't let me...
Stop bleeding
Tiny stitches that you placed into my skin
Won't let me go (Oh no, oh no)
And they're ruining the mood

So I'll toast every beat of my heart like a miracle

And I don't think you'll ever want to love me
You'd better listen to your doctor
Doctors lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
If the dollar is right
Oh, my sweet little girl
Hold your mouth and you'll be all right

(Gather round, gather round!)
Ladies and gentlemen
Come from far come from wide
The moment you've all been waiting for
Tonight, join us as we explore the spine-chilling mystery of death
And the miracle of resurrection!

Please understand me when I'd rather see you dead
Than live without me, so thirsty for more

Beyond the sea blue light
I met the love of my life
She'd rather see me dead than face me
I like your starry eyes
They yell, "Surprise, surprise!"
I'm in love, but not for long

(Our operation)
Call off the operation
(Our operation)
Call off, off, off...

Another wave has turned its back on me
Crashed back on the eyes of the first I see
(If your delicate eyes don't blink someday)
Can't count on anything
(They might as well be gone)
For you I'd count the salt under the sea

Were you honest when you said,
"I could never leave your bed",
Wake me up and let me know you're alive
And will you fall in love again?
Is the scent slowly spreading?
I've been answering machines all night

And are the doctors dancing in
While the ambulances sing?
Another boy without a sharper knife...

The moment that's where I
Kill the conversation, wrap this up
With a knife that loves to feel
How do you know how deep to go before it's real?

(Take me home)
Can I even complicate your breathing?
I guess I'm just your average boy
This is me with a knife in the back
And a grip on the grass
It's cold and I don't want to be here
I guess I'm never comfortable or situational

Are we losing or beginning
To try a new life without you?

The moment that's where I
Kill the conversation, wrap this up
With a lie that I'm enjoying every minute with myself
And she could make hell feel just like home
So I'm never leaving her alone
But if your lightning lips aren't mine
Then I don't know the awkward stranger to my right
(But she's crying)

I only need one hand to drive
When you're with me
You are my getaway
Oh, no!

And don't you ever feel alone? And don't you wish you were home?
Cut the lust tonight; all right, all right
Tell me why my little Mona Lisa told a lie, lie, lie, lie
Do you want me? Do you want to let me know that you're okay?
A diamond gold ring customized to cut your circulation
But I couldn't let you go; no, I'd never let you go my dear
So keep talking 'cause I love to hear your voice
(Love to hear your voice, love to hear your...)
Voice again

(Call the police! This whole place is gonna burn!)
Come on Holly, put the gun down for me
(Call the police! This whole place is gonna burn!)
You love money and the sex in your veins
(Call the police! This whole place is gonna burn!)
They're trying to take it from us
They're trying to take it from us
(Call the police! This whole place is gonna burn!)
You're so pretty when you dress for the grave

Love me as you lay
Dizzy and falling, your legs dangling
Although accidents happen
They happen to me
Try to forget the beginning and end

Forget the world
Without removing the glass from your lips

(Call the police! This whole place is gonna burn!)
You love money and the sex in your veins
(Call the police! This whole place is gonna burn!)
They're trying to take it from us
They're trying to take it from us
(Call the police! This whole place is gonna burn!)
The sun's coming up and we're still awake

Am I the trigger of your gun?
Your pretty eyes don't give me much choice but
I'll take them home
I've done some thinking of my own
And when I come home, I want to be done
Don't want to be famous no more

Leave that girl alone

My teenage heart-attack keeps talking back
Keeps talking back to her
And I can't pretend that off this balcony
We wouldn't want to jump off of it
And put an end to this

(Call the police! This whole place is gonna burn!)
You love money and the sex in your veins
(Call the police! This whole place is gonna burn!)

Yeah!
Doll up and sleep walk
Until we have some teeth marks
Narcotic sweet talk
Until we have some teeth marks
This whole place is gonna burn

Stay young and at the top of our lungs
Our hands are free
Our lives have just begun

It's getting dark, we should go back
But what's the use if what you love is what you have?
And I could die right now
For something beautiful to take me somewhere else

Oh, I try to calm down
As I drag myself along these severed hands
(Severed hands) Are doing the very best they can

I'm gonna buy a cheap bouquet
Before it dies on the display
(Gonna break down)
Break down the better side of me
(The better side of me)

Well I know, I know if I die young
Then we can wake up screaming in your bed
And our lungs are begging us to calm down

And I scare myself with all that talk of severing
Doing the best or so it seems
(You've been mistaken)
Your finger's on the scale
(Burn like you never have before
Stop, drop and roll don't work in hell)
So what if I forget regret?
So what if I...
So what if I forget regret?
So what if I...
So what if I...
So what if I...
So what if I...

I want you to know that I...
That I've wrote this line a thousand times
Yeah
Forget regret

This must be the way it ends

Calm down as I drag myself along
These severed hands are doing the very best they can
As I drive my car into the sea
(I taste you like a hammer through my teeth)
Will someone tell me what it means to be alive?
It feels just like the feeling when you die

Oh, all right, I'm dead and I don't care if it's cold outside anymore
So come on, let's have some fucking fun

Well, you know that I'm cold
Black on constellations gold
And you know that your soul's
Black top under lacing won't let it go
It was all for you, all for you and more
She won't chase him anymore

To the end, never leave
Fall asleep on the first I face
And they say play the game
You and me found love
Lost under the shade

Well, you know I'm a ghost
Pull the note out of my throat
And leave me alone
But it's all for you, all for you and more
He won't take her anymore

To the end, never leave
Fall asleep on the first I face
And they say play the game
You and me found love
Lost under the shade, yeah

Come back to my heart
Come back to my heart
Come back tonight, tonight
Come back to my heart
(I don't care)
Come back to my heart
(I don't care)
Come back tonight, tonight

Wake up!
A voice hits the air on a lonely coast
And I'll sing along like a prayer for you
I can dream up the words

(I'll never see your face again)
If we wake at, if we wake at all
She sings to me
If we wake at, if we wake at all
(If we wake at all, if we wake at all)

We'll try to change
They say love will never mean a thing
Still our hearts beat
So come on

So stuck on the only thing that we know
What we know starts to waste

If we wake at, if we wake at all
She sings to me (Can we be sure?)
If we wake at, if we wake at all

Oh my God

Don't react when I tell you...
And don't react when I tell you...
That bright lights mean nothing to you
'Cause no one would know the sound of a ghost
And I might be something to you
Beyond beautiful is the sound of a ghost

Can we lose our minds
And call it love for the last time?
(Yeah)
My darling never rest
Until the darker gets
The best of all we had
Can the cold carry on?

When the light means nothing to you
Then no one would know
The sound of a ghost
And I might be perfect with you
But no one would know
So tell me, tell me

Have you ever really danced on the edge?
Is something still scaring you?
Have you ever really danced on the edge?
The count of three is up
Have you ever really danced on the edge?
All right, then, tell me so
Have you ever really danced on the edge?
Just hold my hand and jump

And bright lights mean nothing to you
'Cause no one would know the sound of a ghost
Oh, no one would know the sound of a ghost

You're busy drawing hearts

You run your fingers down the glass
An open mirror
Now you're sleeping in the front seat
Like a crushed leaf on the concrete night

Murder ring
What are you talking about?
Murder ring
And how did you get into my house?
I think you buried me too deep
You had your way
(Your way...)

You almost seem alive

But I've been driving you around
I didn't think it could have lasted
Now we broke another bracelet
(Broke another bracelet)
Tore it off your wrist tonight

Tonight the center of the sun
Will separate in sparks
They're climbing up the sky and down the dark

Do you think you'd better love me back?
You said you want someone who actually cares
But I'll say what I want 'cause nobody's around when I talk
It feels better to fall asleep alone 'cause that's the only way I know

But I've been driving you around
I didn't think it could have lasted
Now we broke another bracelet
(Broke another bracelet)
Tore it off your wrist tonight
And now that Cinderella's gone
She swallowed up the sun
A middle-class explosion could be nice
If we're the dynamite

(Let us prey)
Don't you miss me
Or the night we snuck out your window?
Oh, 'cause baby, baby, you're so crazy now
Looks like I'm not the only one now
And I can finally see the light
Oh, there's a million stars tonight

A single one could save my life
Red water leaves us as we collide

Drella! Drella!

Red water leaves us and I just drive

Oh no, here we go again
I look to receive what the earth and sea
Had thought it'd be best not to even give me
Even give me

Now you say that I never bother you
The way he did (Now open eyes)
Now I saw the moon divorce the sky
Is this what it's like? (Don't run)

Spell out... spell out...
Spell out to me, babe

So every week, we'll meet
A bed for the backseat
A love-drunk memory
But such a beautiful routine

Now you say that I never bother you
The way he did (Now open eyes)
Now I saw the moon divorce the sky tonight
This remedy is worse than the disease
And slowly killing me

We like to run our blood thin
And laugh at things we never did
We like to run our blood thin
And laugh at things...
Resay, say hello
Resay, say hello
(We like to run our blood thin)
Resay, say hello
(We like to run our blood thin)
Resay...

Now, you say, "We're better off that way."
Now I saw the moon divorce the sky
Is this what it's like?

I don't care if your beautiful lips
Exist out there 'cause I'm wonderless
Why the best can't make it in Hollywood
No more

It's like a long drag taken
Before the smoke hits the white sky
(Like the birds at night)
And it's fake just like the movies
Oh yeah

And I can't wait just to see you again
And your two faces are locked on mine
Had the worst time chasing the thought away
No hope (Oh no home)

Because maybe I'm a fake
Maybe you're to blame
Maybe I'm a star
(Stumbling drunk light)
My mistakes I've made won't leave me alone
Oh no

And if you don't find me on the front page
Find a way to say that you saw me
And if you don't find me in a movie
Find a way to say that you knew me
And if you don't find me on the front page
(You and I got lost along the way)
Find a way to say that you saw me
(But this will end some day some way)

And if you don't find me at all
Then I won't care

(Oh, yeah)
If I could find a place for the holiday
Maybe I would call
You're a payphone away
From the mess that I've become
I'm destroying what I love
