1.Tautou
I'm sinking like a stone in the sea. I'm burning like a bridge
for your body.
2.Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades
Keep the noise low, she doesn't wanna blow it. She stripped from
head to toe and then left him with his shoulder out. Go get your
heartbeat. It beats me straight into the ground. You don't
recover from a night like this. Our victim, still lying in bed,
completely motionless. A hand moves in the dark to her zipper.
And a boy best in tourniquet sheets barely whispers, 'This is so
messed up.' Upon arrival the guests had all stared. Dripping wet
and clearly depressed, he'd headed straight for the stairs. No
longer cool, but a boy in a stitch, unprepared for a life filled
with lies and failing relationships. (Up the stairs, the station
where the act becomes the art of growing up.) He keeps his hands
low, he doesn't wanna blow it. He's wet from head to toe and his
eyes give her the up and the down. His stomach turns and he
thinks of throwing up. Get the body on the bed like it's
flowered and he starts going down. The people, the focus. The
reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to settle.
Die young and
save yourself. They take all the taste out. It used to be the
reason that we're even, now it's choking me up. Die young and
save yourself. She hits the lights. This doesn't seem quite
fair. Despite everything he learned from his friends, he doesn't
feel so prepared. She's breathing quiet and smooth, he's gasping
for air. 'This is the first and last time', he said. She fakes a
smile and presses her hips into his. He keeps his hands pinned
down at his sides. He's holding back from telling her exactly
what it really feels like. He is the lamb, she is the slaughter.
She's moving way too fast and all he wanted was to hold her.
Nothing that he touches is really having an effect. He whispers
that he loves her, but she's probably only looking for... (Up
the stairs, the station where the act becomes the art of growing
old.) So much more than he could ever give. A life full of lies
and failing relationships. He keeps his hands pinned down at his
sides. He waits for it to end and for the aching in his guts to
subside.
The people, the focus. The reasons that I had to believe you
weren't too hard to settle. Die young and save yourself. They
take all the taste out. It used to be the reason that we're
even, now it's choking me up. Die young and save yourself. Up
the stairs, the station where the act becomes the art of growing
old. The people, the focus. The reasons that I had to believe
you weren't too hard to settle. Die young and save yourself.
They take all the taste out. It used to be the reason that we're
even, now it's choking me up. Die young and save yourself.
3.I Will Play My Game Beneath The Spin Light
The time has come for colds and overcoats. We're quiet on the
ride, we're all just waiting to get home. Another week away, my
greatest fear. I need the smell of summer, I need its noises in
my ears. If looks could really kill, then my profession would
staring. Please know we do this cause we care and not for the
thrill. Collect calls to home to tell them that I realize that
everyone who lives will someday die and die alone. And we won't
let you in. Though we're down and out. We won't let you in. I
wrote more postcards than hooks. I read more maps than books.
Feel like every chance to leave is another chance I should have
took. Every minute is a mile. I've never felt so hallow. I'm an
old abandoned church with broken pews and empty aisles. My
secrets for a buck. Watch me as I cut myself wide open on this
stage. Yes, I am paid to spill my guts. I won't see home till
spring. Oh, I would kill for the Atlantic, but I am paid to make
girls panic while I sing. And we won't let you in. Though we're
down and out.
We won't let you in. And we won't let you in. We don't want what
isn't ours. We won't let you in. You win. And the coastline is
quiet. While we're quietly losing control. Yes, we're silent but
sure we inventened the cure that will wash out my memories of
her. 'The harpoon is loaded. The cage is lowered. The water is
red.' Like you.
4.The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows
We saw the western coast. I saw the hospital. Nurse the
shoreline like a wound. We paint a lover's tryst. We're neither
clear nor descript. We kept it safe and slow. The quiet things
that no one ever knows. Keep the blood in your head and keep
your feet on the ground. Today's the day it gets tired. Today's
the day we drop down. Give up my body in bed. All for an empty
hotel. Wasting words on lowercases and capitals. I contemplate
the day we wed. Your friends are boring me to death. Your veil
is ruined in the rain. By then you like to do without. There's
nothing new to talk about. And though our kids are blessed, the
parents let them shoulder all the blame. Keep the blood in your
head and keep your feet on the ground. Today's the day it gets
tired. Today's the day we drop down. Give up my body in bed. All
for an empty hotel. Wasting words on lowercases and capitals. I
lie for only you. And I lie well. Halleluh. Keep the blood in
your head and keep your feet on the ground. Today's the day it
gets tired. Today's
the day we drop down. Give up my body in bed. All for an empty
hotel. Wasting words on lowercases and capitals.
5.The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot
If it makes you less sad, I will die by your hand. I hope you
find out what you want. I already know what I am. And if it
makes you less sad, we'll start talking again. And you can tell
me how vile I already know that I am. I'll grow old and start
acting my age. I'll be a brand new day in a life that you hate.
A crown of gold. A heart that's harder than stone. And it hurts
a whole lot, but it's missed when it's gone. Call me a safe bet.
I'm betting I'm not. I'm glad that you can forgive. I'm only
hoping as time goes, you can forget. If it makes you less sad,
I'll move out of the state. You can keep to yourself. I'll keep
out of your way. And if it makes you less sad, I'll take your
pictures all down. Every picture you paint, I will paint myself
out. It's cold as a tomb, and it's dark in your room, when I
sneak to your bed to pour salt in your wounds. So call it quits
or get a grip. Say you wanted a solution. You just wanted to be
missed. Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not. I'm glad that
you can forgive.
I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget... You are calm and
reposed. Let your beauty unfold. Pale white, like the skin
stretched over your bones. Spring keeps you ever close. You are
second hand smoke. You are so fragile and thin. Standing trial
for your sins. Holding onto yourself the best you can. You are
the smell before rain. You are the blood in my veins. Call me a
safe bet. I'm betting I'm not. I'm glad that you can forgive.
I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget.
6.Jaws Theme Swimming
In a car outside, we stalk the idle kind. If you're leaving,
just let me know. Tobacco and peppermint, dusting for
fingerprints. A film in her eyes from the glow. Some rules are
made with all intentions to break and she defends it with a
warned rationale. And I've seen what happens to the wicked and
proud when they decide to try to take on the throne for the
crown. And we learn as we age. Wait for nothing and my body
still aches. And you take cause they give. Though I love you and
my body it leaks like a siv. When it got old outside, smoke
beneath the playground lights. If you're coming home, just let
me know. Sucking on your breath mint, dissected and stuck with
pins. A film in her eyes from the glow. Concrete and water,
she's looking for her daughter at midnight in torrential
downpour. And everything I said about how messed your head is,
were cut up and left in bits and pieces on the ground. And we
learn as we age. Wait for nothing and my body still aches. And
you take cause they give. Though I love you and
my body it leaks like a siv. Take the picture from the wall when
you think that nothing matters. Take the picture from the frame
and it's a long ways to the floor. Cut your finger on the edge
cause it's sharper than they told you. Take a leap from out the
window cause it's way too far to go through the door. And we
learn as we age. Wait for nothing and my body still aches. And
you take cause they give. Though I love you and my body it leaks
like a siv.
7.Me Vs. Maradona Vs. Elvis
With one or two I get used to the room. We go slow when we first
make our moves. But five or six bring you out to the car. Number
nine with my head on the bar. And it's sad, but true. Out of
cash and I owe. I got you. Desperate desires and unadmirable
plans. My tongue will taste the gin and malicious intent. Bring
you back to the bar. Get you out of the cold. A sober straight
face gets you out of your clothes. And they're scared that we
know all the crimes they'll commit. Who they'll kiss before they
get home. I will lie awake. Lie for fun and fake the way I hold
you. Then you'll fall for every empty word I say. Barely
conscious in the door where you stand. Your eyes are filing
sleep while your mouth makes your demands. You laugh at every
word, trying hard to be cute. I almost feel sorry for what I'm
gonna do. And your hair smells of smoke. Who will cast the first
stone？ You can't sit or spend the night all alone. Brass buttons
on your coat hold the cold in the shape of a heart that they cut
out of stone.
You're using all your looks that you've thrown from the start.
If you let me have my way, I swear I'll tear you apart. Cause
it's all you can be. You're a drunk and you're scared. It's
ladies night. All the girls drink for free. I will lie awake.
Lie for fun and fake the way I hold you. Then you'll fall for
every empty word I say.
8.Guernica
Ever since I was young your word is the word that always won.
Worry and wake the ones you love. A phone call I'd rather not
receive. Please use my body while I sleep. My lungs are fresh
and yours to keep, Kept clean and they will let you breathe. Is
this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry？ I am the
watch you always wear but you forget to wind. Nobody plans to be
half a world away at times like these, so I sat alone and waited
out the night. The best part of what has happened was the part I
must have missed. So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick
around. I'm not writing my goodbyes. I submit no excuse. If this
is what I have to do I owe you every day I wake. If I could I
would shrink myself and sink through your skin to your blood
cells and remove whatever makes you hurt but I am too weak to be
your cure. Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run
dry？ I am the watch you always wear but you forget to wind.
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these, so I
sat alone
and waited out the night. The best part of what has happened was
the part I must have missed. So I'm asking you to shine it on
and stick around. I'm not writing my goodbyes. I'm not letting
you check out. You will beat this starting now and you will
always be around. I'm there to monitor your breathing I will
watch you while you're sleeping. I will keep you safe and sound.
Does anybody remember back when you were very young. Did you
ever think that you would be this blessed？
9.Good To Know That If I Ever Need Attention All I Have To Do Is Die
We were doomed from the start, as lovers are. Why am I doing
this？ Digging my own grave. Though it's shallow, I would lie in
it. We're down in the basement, in the dark, after we crash your
car. Hoping fast that my arrow hits the mark, so you know who we
are. Please keep the reporters at bay. This a matter of life and
death, but I deal with things like this everyday. Please keep
the reporters at bay. You never do what I tell you to. You never
do what I say. We've been hurting a long time. Trying hard for
this. We all have sizeable scars. We got it. You'd break it all
apart. We got it. We can make it work like this... Yes we are a
bullet in the heart and the message sent. Always dragging your
feet over sand and over hot cement. Make a list of your
favorites. Write it down. Make it legible. A problem we're
always facing. We never rest. You either push or pull. Please
keep the crowd under control. This is a matter of life and death
and we're not prepared. I just want you to know.
Please keep the crowd under control. This is the weight of my
conscience. This is an all time low. We've been hurting a long
time. Trying hard for this. We all have sizeable scars. We got
it. You'd break it all apart. We got it. We can make it work
like this... I see my baby. She's starry eyed. I feel my bones
break all the time. I see my baby. She's starry eyed. She
follows. Don't call me a god.
10.Play Crack The Sky
I am heaven sent. Don't you dare forget. I am all you've ever
wanted. What all the other boys all promised. Sorry I told. I
just needed you to know. I think in decimals and dollars. I am
the cause to all your problems. Shelter from cold. We're never
alone. Coordinate brain and mouth. Then ask me what it's like to
have myself so figured out. I wish I knew. I hope this song
starts a craze. The kind of song that ignites the airwaves. The
kind of song that makes people glad to be where they are with
who ever they're there with. This is war. Every line is about
who I don't wanna write about anymore. I hope you come down with
something they can't diagnose, don't have the cure for. Holding
on to your grudge. Oh, it's so hard to have someone to love. And
keeping quiet is hard. Cause you can't keep a secret if it never
was a secret to start. At least pretend you didn't want to get
caught. We're consentrating on falling apart. We were
contenders, now throwing the fight. I just wanna believe... in
us.
Oh, were so contraversial. We are entirely smooth. We admit to
the truth. We are the best at what we do. And these are the
words you wish you wrote down. This is the way you wish your
voice sounds. Handsome and smart. Oh, my tongue's the only
muscle in my body that works harder than my heart. And it's all
from watching TV. And from speeding up my breathing. Wouldn't
stop if I could. Oh, it hurts to be this good. You're holding on
to your grudge. Oh, it hurts to always have to be honest with
the one that you love. Oh, so let it go. We're consentrating on
falling apart. We were contenders, now throwing the fight. I
just wanna believe... We're consentrating on falling apart. We
were contenders, now throwing the fight. I just wanna believe...
in us. This is the craze only we can bestow. This is the price
you pay for loss of control. This is the break in the battle.
This is the closest of calls. This is the reason you're alone.
This is the reason you fall. We're consentrating on falling
apart. We were contenders,
now throwing the fight. I just wanna believe... We're
consentrating on falling apart. We were contenders, now throwing
the fight. I just wanna believe... in us.

It hurts to be this good.
You're holding on to your grudge.
It hurts to always have to be honest with the one that you love.
So let it go.
