1.If Not Now,When？
I have waited
Dined on ashes
Swung from chandeliers and climbed Everest
And none of it's got me close to this
I've waited all my life
If not now, when will I？
We've been good
Even a blast, but
Don't you feel like something's missing here？
Don't you dare
I've waited all my life
If not now, when will I？
Stand up and face the bright light
Don't hide your eyes
It's time
It's time
It's time
No umbrellas
No sunglasses
Hearing Hallelujah everyday
I've waited all my life
If not now, when will I？
Stand up and face the bright light
Don't hide your eyes
It's time
It's time
It's time
It's time
2.Promises,Promises
I'm only 23 for another hour, give or take
I'm a fan of yours and I need a good mistake
I'm not a sinner or preacher,
all I have is slight of hand
I do magic tricks for all the boys in the band
Baby could I be the rabbit in your hat？
I'd swing if you'd hand me, hand me the bat
I'm on the road of least resistance
I'd rather give up than give in to this
So promise me only one thing, would you？
Just don't ever make me promises
No promises
I've never done this before, promises, promises
But I'm enjoying the illusion
and the things my body says
Now you see me, now you don't,
oh how well you disappear
What are you running from and may I interfere？
Baby could I be the rabbit in your hat？
I'd swing if you'd hand me, hand me the bat
Baby could I be the rabbit in your hat？
I'd swing if you'd hand me, hand me the bat
I'm on the road of least resistance
I'd rather give up than give in to this
So promise me only one thing, would you？
Just don't ever make me promises
No promises
No no no no promises
No no no no promises
I'm on the road of least resistance
I'd rather give up than give in to this
So promise me only one thing, would you？
Just don't ever make me promises
No promises
No no no no promises
No no no no promises
No promises
3.Friends And Lovers
I'm a ne'er do well
Running off black gold
It's high time I pulled over
And walked around for a while
I've seen the porcelain shell
Your exoskeleton
And I feel like we walk well together
Because in the end,
We are friends and lovers
If asked of me I would
Gobble them to bits
The things that wall us off from
Where we belong
What's wrong with you is good
For what's wrong with me
And I think maybe we should stick together
Because in the end,
We are friends and lovers
We are friends and lovers
Abandon all the bones
We've got to pick
They'll only weigh us down and
We are better than that
If they all throw stones
Start a collection
Of everything we're not
And won't be-cause
You should never have to defend
(Never have to defend)
Being friends and lovers
Being friends and lovers (oh)
Being friends and lovers
4.Thieves
You're happy all the time
I just don't understand why I can't be happy too
Your smiles are salt in the wound
A slap upon a back that's been toiling in the sun
When will I get mine？
Or must I be a God-fearing white American？
Oh everything is fine
As long as you're a God-fearing white American
Why should the thieves have all of the fun？
Selling us water by the river,
they don't speak for anyone
I'm ready to run and you're making me crawl
Selling me water by the river,
they don't speak for me at all
The man above the town
The beauty queen, the paragon of civilization
But shadows cling to us all
Even those convinced that they're sheltered and immune
When will I get mine？
Or must I be a God-fearing white American？
Why should the thieves have all of the fun？
Selling us water by the river,
they don't speak for anyone
I'm ready to run and you're making me crawl
Selling me water by the river,
they don't speak for me at all
They don't speak for me at all
Why should the thieves have all of the fun？
Selling us water by the river,
they don't speak for anyone
I'm ready to run and you're making me crawl
Selling me water by the river,
they don't speak for me at all
I'm ready to run and you're making me crawl
Selling me water by the river,
they don't speak for me at all
They don't speak for me at all
They don't speak for me at all
5.Isadore
Erica and her Isadore
Climbed aboard a balloon
I want more than this kite will soar
I've set our sights on the moon
You can't just leave, I've given everything
I can't believe you're taking everything
You're taking everything, ooh
It's not who you were
It's who you are
And we've come this far lover
No, I won't rest
Until the world
Knows the name Isadore
Blinded by their unbridled height
Our lovers turned dissolute
You can't just leave, I've given everything
I can't believe you're taking everything
You're taking everything, ooh
It's not who you were
It's who you are
And we've come this far lover
No, I won't rest
Until the world
Knows the name Isadore
Knows the name Isadore
Then with eyes wide, a splintered sight
There's just one parachute
Goodbye Erica, now I see
That my worst fears were in tune
It's not who you were
It's who you are
And we've come this far lover
No, I won't rest
Until the world
Knows the name Isadore
Knows the name Isadore
Won't rest
Until the world
Knows the name Isadore
6.The Original
I only go where I'm wanted
You go only where you want
I aim to be more like you
There is a ghost in my house
Rattling handles on every door
Show us an open window or two
Would you？
Doors are starting to close
And you drew a rose my, my
Your mind it is original, oh
You're a skeleton key, opening me,
My, my, your mind it is original,
Girl you're the original
Always were
And always will be
The flowers of adaptation
Unfold and lovingly alarm
You effortlessly ring that bell
Your stripes are yours and yours only
The bow ideal of rare birds
And now I am under your spell
Oh, under your spell
Doors are starting to close
And you drew a rose my, my
Your mind it is original, oh
You're a skeleton key, opening me,
My, my, your mind it is original,
Girl you're the original
Always were
Always were
Always were
Always were
Always were
And will be
Doors are starting to close
And you drew a rose my, my
Your mind it is original, oh
You're a skeleton key, opening me,
My, my, your mind it is original,
Girl you're the original
Always were
Always will be
7.Defiance
You almost had me there!
It was the batting lashes that gave you away.
You're bold beyond repair!
And there's an absence today, of defiance,
A most awaken inclination.
And your elegant aberration...
Something's happening!
And all the rebels and devils have come to naught
To hear your siren ring
And who would un-ring, oh, your bell？
Defiance, a most awaken inclination
Defiance, your elegant aberration
8.In The Company Of Wolves
I was lost but now I am found.
A line was crossed, a vessel run aground.
The boy has gone, let's grieve and let him go.
He left at dawn, but it's a new day, don't you know？
In the company of wolves I sat in silence,
observant and afraid
He was there with the eyes like glowing embers
The man you see was made.
I was low but now I am high.
It helps to know serenity from any why
Something's wrong, something's wrong,
when it all remains the same.
So face the fire, come into your name.
In the company of wolves I sat in silence,
observant and afraid.
He was there with the eyes like glowing embers,
The man you see was made
Even I can't recall how many days I have been out there
For when all those lights ceased to shine,
it was a lie I think for the first time.
Infinity it falls, in feathery folds
but she bites like loveless eyes,
And with her belly full she called this rite of passage,
it was the longest night of my life.
It was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was
It was the longest night of my life.
It was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was
Even I can't recall how many days I have been out there
For when all those lights ceased to shine,
it was a lie I think for the first time.
Infinity it falls, in feathery folds
but she bites like loveless eyes,
And with her belly full she called this rite of passage,
it was the longest night of my life.
It was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was
It was the longest night of my life.
It was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was
9.Switchblade
I keep getting attacked by
The girl in the black hat
The girl in the black hat.
I can't find any shade but
I'll be swayed as long as
I've got a switchblade.
I keep getting the eye from
The girl in the thigh highs
The girl in the thigh highs.
With irises of jade are built to persuade
And they're swift like a switchblade.
Switchblade, switchblade
They're swift like a switchblade
Switchblade
Nobody wears it like you anymore.
Nobody wears it like you anymore.
Light like a feather
Bright like a dying star.
Cut those together
Girl that is what you are.
Wild eyes forever
Built to punish and persuade.
I like together
But all I got was a switchblade
A switchblade
So just gimme the facts
Who's the girl in the black hat
The girl in the black hat.
I can't find any shade but
I'll be swayed as long as
I've got a switchblade.
I think of getting a rise
On all the American thighs
Her American thighs.
She got her black hat
And irises of jade
And I got a switchblade
Switchblade, yes I got a switchblade
Nobody wears it like you anymore.
Nobody wears it like you anymore.
Light like a feather
Bright like a dying star.
Cut those together
Girl that is what you are.
Wild eyes forever
Built to punish and persuade.
I like together
But all I got was a switchblade
A switchblade
Nobody wears it like you anymore.
Nobody wears it like you
I keep getting attacked by
The girl in the black hat
The girl in the black hat.
I can't find any shade but
I'll be swayed as long as
I've got a switchblade.
Switchblade, switchblade
Light like a feather
Bright like a dying star.
Cut those together
Girl that is what you are.
Wild eyes forever
Built to punish and persuade.
I like together
But all I got was a switchblade
Yes I got a switchblade
10.Adolescents
I'm feeling out of bounds, out of bounds
I'm running out of time, out of time
I know there's no such thing as either of them
But it doesn't make me feel any better
Out of sight, out of mind
Out of sight, out of mind
We're out of time
We're out of mind
Out of mind
Out of mind
Yeah, yeah
I'm feeling overwhelmed, overwhelmed
It's getting out of line, line, line, line
I know I'm not alone
Just adolescents, you and I
It doesn't make me feel any better
Out of sight, out of mind
Out of sight, out of mind
We're out of time
We're out of mind
Out of mind
Out of mind
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Out of sight, out of mind
Out of sight, out of mind
We're out of time
We're out of mind
Out of mind
Out of mind
We're out of mind
Yeah
11.Tomorrow's Food
I know you vie for the good old days
And with less of us around,
We were a cinch to sway
Does it feel like it's the end of the world
Well maybe it is, but when was it not,
Cause it's true, me and you
We are all tomorrow's food today
There's no such thing as the good old days
The older we all get,
the better we all were
There's no such as the end of the world
(But just in case!)
you'd best batten down and button up
Cause it's true, me and you
We are all tomorrow's food today
