1.The Darkest Places
Maybe it is dangerous,
To invite a stranger into the room with us.
The noise is growing louder, but I'm not scared at all.
When there's no more money in politics,
They'll be tearing down the union brick by brick.
There'll be cynics holding clinics about where we have been,
With every self-proclaimed historian.
You know I know you don't want this.
You don't need this.
I'm shining the light on the darkest places.
You know and I know we have to face this now.
We have to face this now.
The days are growing dark what are we gonna do?
The countries in a panic when I turn on the tube.
So maybe I'll just wake up in the afternoon.
You can change the channels on your tv,
Push all the little buttons 'til your fingers bleed,
But you won't change me.
There's nothing I would do for you cause,
You don't wanna see.
You know I know you don't want this.
You can't dismiss.
I'm shining the light on the darkest places.
You know and I know we have to face this now.
We have to face this now.
I'm shining the light on the darkest places.
Putting the word out we have to face this now.
We have to face this now.
A generation taking numbers, making calls,
As shadows move across my bedroom wall.
I'm shining the light on the darkest places.
You know and I know we have to face this now.
We have to face this now.
I'm shining the light on the darkest places.
Putting the word out we have to face this now.
We have to face this now.
2.Young And Depressed
You've got so many problems.
No one else but you can solve them.
Where did the time go? Everybody wants to know.
Life goes on day after day after day.
Too much work and no play.
When life seems like it can't get harder,
When you feel like a martyr,
When you've lost all control,
That's when you let the whole world know.
You're young and depressed,
With no future in this loneliness.
You're young and depressed,
But you're pretty well dressed; yeah you're pretty well dressed.
I know that you've been hurting.
So much has led up to this.
Your eyes are burning, hard times make a heart resist.
All that you want is to follow your dreams.
They all fall apart at the seams.
When life seems like it can't get harder,
When you feel like a martyr,
When you've lost all control,
That's when you let the whole world know.
You're young and depressed,
With no future in this loneliness.
You're young and depressed,
But you're pretty well dressed; yeah you're pretty well...
Discontentment turns to anger.
Turning sour every lonely hour, yeah depression.
Failed relations turn over a new leaf.
Will it be a four-leaf clover? Yeah obsession.
Yeah depression, yeah.
You're young and depressed,
With no future in this loneliness.
You're young and depressed,
But you're pretty well dressed; yeah you're pretty well dressed.
You're young and depressed,
With no future in this loneliness.
You're young and depressed,
But you're pretty well dressed; yeah you're pretty well dressed.
No future in this loneliness.
You're pretty well dressed, yeah you're pretty well...
3.Heard That Sound
Without a window to see through,
I did my time, in here without you,
Slept on the floor down in LBC,
Meet me back home under the marquee.
It seems like misery loves misery,
My favorite songs they keep me company,
So many memories come down to this,
I maybe be lost, but I'm not hopeless.
I heard that sound a mile away.
I heard that sound a mile away.
All those things I wish that I could say.
I heard that sound a mile away.
A mile away.
Came in like static off the TV,
This kinda thing never goes easy.
I meant to tell you but you were gone,
I tried to get it right, I got it all wrong.
I heard that sound a mile away.
I heard that sound a mile away.
All those things I wish that I could say.
I heard that sound a mile away.
A mile away.
Sat outside the show,
With nowhere else, nowhere else to go.
Doors shut, can't say,
It sure does sound, good to me.
(Whoa oaaa.) Na Na Na Na Na. (Whoa oaaa.)
Outside the show...good to me.
(Whoa oa.) Na Na Na Na Na.
Good to you...good to me.
I heard that sound a mile away.
I heard that sound a mile away.
All those things I wish that I could say.
I heard that sound a mile away.
A mile away.
A mile away.
4.Cold Streets
I hear the cold streets calling me.
I hear the cold streets call my name.
I feel the dark tide swallow me,
And now the black ink covers me.
Woah. Woah.
My mind won't stop sreaming,
'Cause I don't feel so alive.
This is wrong, not right.
I'm all alone tonight and I'm still dreaming.
When will the cold streets fade away?
When will the sun come back again?
In all the back streets and alleyways,
I see the cold streets night and day.
Woah. Woah.
My mind won't stop screaming.
Wake me up from dreaming,
'Cause I don't feel so alive.
This is wrong, not right.
I'm all alone tonight and I'm still dreaming...
'Cause I don't feel so alive.
This is wrong, not right.
I'm all alone tonight.
I'm all alone tonight.
Woah. Woah.
'Cause I don't feel so alive.
This is wrong, not right.
I'm all alone tonight and I'm still dreaming...
'Cause I don't feel so alive.
This is wrong, not right.
I'm all alone tonight.
I'm all alone tonight.
5.The Story
Can I get a new head? 'Cause this one I've got,
Is worn out and so very broken.
And now my minds feels dead, it's like an arcade game;
An arcade game that won't take a token.
No.
We get lost, lost along the way, it happens everyday.
Lost along the way.
How will the story end? Where does the time go?
How will the story end? All we really wanna know;
How will this life end?
How will the story end? Where does the time go?
How will the story end? All we really wanna know;
How will our lives end?
Can I get a new soul? The one I got's been trampled on.
The push and the pull like a bottle of gin at Al Anon.
Can I get a new heart? Cause the one I got works way too hard;
Like a prisoner of war that's come home bruised and,
Scarred.
We get lost, lost along the way, it happens everyday.
Lost along the way.
How will the story end? Where does the time go?
How will the story end? All we really wanna know;
How will this life end?
How will the story end? Where does the time go?
How will the story end? All we really wanna know;
How will our lives end?
Woah. - Yesterday seems so long ago.
Woah. - Like a childhood dream, that shrank as you began to
grow.
How will the story end? Where does the time go?
How will the story end? All we really wanna know;
How will this life end?
How will the story end? Where does the time go?
How will the story end? All we really wanna know;
How will our lives end?
Where's my voice? Has it lost it's way?
As if we have a choice.
Our character is measured by the words we say.
It happens everyday.
Lost along the way.
6.Wrecking Hotel Rooms
I wrecked your hotel room.
I crashed up the car.
Slept in the gutter.
I'm outside your door.
Saw you through the keyhole,
Down on your knees.
There's really no reason to call the police.
Do you hold the phone when you're alone,
Imagine that it rings,
Then hold it to your ear,
And wish that I was there,
To sing you off to sleep,
Be with you in your dreams,
Though the days I will be gone,
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song.
I know you don't know me,
'Cause we've never met.
I'm not really crazy,
So don't get upset.
I've got all these problems,
None with solutions.
Been in and out of some nice institutions.
Do you hold the phone when you're alone,
Imagine that it rings,
Then hold it to your ear,
And wish that I was there,
To sing you off to sleep,
Be with you in your dreams,
Though the days I will be gone,
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song.
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song.
Do you hold the phone when you're alone,
Imagine that it rings,
Then hold it to your ear,
And wish that I was there,
To sing you off to sleep,
Be with you in your dreams,
Though the days I will be gone,
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song.
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song.
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song.
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song.
7.Late Again
Late again forgive me friends,
For I am late again.
Till the day I die lord knows I'll try,
'Cause I'm still late again.
When they call my name outside those gates,
I'll be on my way and that's all I can say.
'Cause I'm late again forgive me friends,
For I am late again.
Till the day I die lord knows I'll try,
'Cause I'm still late again.
It's all the same so don't place blame,
On sunshine, rain, or snow,
And believe me cause I know.
That I'm late again forgive me friends,
For I am late again.
Till the day I die lord knows I'll try,
'Cause I'm still late again.
I was late coming into this world;
I'll be late going out.
I was late trying to put this record out.
Go.
Late again forgive me friends,
For I am late again.
Till the day I die lord knows I'll try,
'Cause I'm still late again.
Late again forgive me friends,
For I am late again.
Till the day I die lord knows I'll try,
'Cause I'm still late again.
Till the day I die lord knows I'll try,
'Cause I'm still late again.
8.Kicking And Screaming
Lie to me just one more time and maybe, I'll believe you,
Promise me the world and what you're saying now is true,
You cant hold me down.
Kicking and screaming like a child,
I'm out of control I'm running wild,
Kicking and screaming and I want more,
I've done things you cant ignore,
So drag me around swing me out the door.
Stab me in the back I've grown accustomed to the feeling,
Time is ticking slowly, I feel older, but I'm dealing
You cant drown me out.
Kicking and screaming like a child,
I'm out of control I'm running wild,
Kicking and screaming and I want more,
I've done things you cant ignore,
So drag me around swing me out the door,
Kicking and screaming.
Please don't marry me,
Until you're sure I'm really dead,
And don't complain to me,
'Cause you won't get my sympathy.
Kicking and screaming like a child,
I'm out of control I'm running wild,
Kicking and screaming and I want more,
I've done things you cant ignore,
So drag me around swing me out the door.
Kicking and screaming like a child,
I'm out of control I'm running wild,
Kicking and screaming and I want more,
I've done things you cant ignore,
So drag me around swing me out the door,
Kicking and Screaming.
9.Grey Skies Turn Blue
You say you want me to say, 'I'm sorry.'
But I don't have to and I don't want to say it,
'Cause I'm not sorry.
I've played the game and I, can't really say that I like it.
Can't really say that I hate it.
Can't really say that I've paid attention.
When grey skies turn blue,
I'll come back for you.
My mind can't change my heart there's nothing I can do.
When grey skies turn blue,
When dreams do come true,
Will you be the way that I remember you?
You say that life with me is driving you crazy,
But I don't see it and I don't wanna say it.
So I, I must be crazy.
I didn't mean a thing when I said, 'Nothing is fleeting.'
Or worth repeating. (Or worth repeating.)
Or worth repeating. (Or worth repeating.)
When grey skies turn blue,
I'll come back for you.
My mind can't change my heart there's nothing I can do.
When grey skies turn blue,
When dreams do come true,
Will you be the way that I remember you?
The cold wind on my face,
Is the only thing I felt,
In such a long time.
In such a long time.
It's been a long time.
Yeah, Yeah.
When grey skies turn blue,
I'll come back for you.
My mind can't change my heart there's nothing I can do.
When grey skies turn blue,
When dreams do come true,
Will you be the way that I remember you?
Will you be the way that I remember you?
10.Emotional Anarchist
Stack your bricks up to the sky.
Name each one then throw them high.
The trouble with trouble is it comes down fast.
So watch out where you're going or you just won't last. Woah.
You're an emotional anarchist.
You're pist cause you never been kissed.
Now you're drowning in a sea of anarchy,
With your heart up on your patches,
And no faith in democracy.
Cover your eyes and plug your ears.
We've been lied to all these years.
The trouble with trouble is you had a good time.
You knew what you were doing at the scene of the crime. Woah.
You're an emotional anarchist.
You're pist cause you never been kissed.
Now you're drowning in a sea of anarchy,
With your heart up on your patches,
And no faith in democracy.
Ashes to ashes we all fall down...
You're an emotional anarchist.
You're pist cause you never been kissed.
Now you're drowning in a sea of anarchy,
With your heart up on your patches,
And no faith in democracy.
You're an emotional anarchist. (Emotional anarchist.)
You're an emotional anarchist. (Emotional anarchist.)
Now you're drowning in a sea of anarchy, (Drowning in a sea.)
With your heart up on your patches,
And no faith in democracy.
11.Call In Sick
Oh, how I missed you.
Oh, how I needed you today.
Oh, how I missed you.
Oh, how I needed you today.
'Cause life seems like a waste of time,
When you're not by my side;
When you're not on this ride.
So pack your bags,
Theres nothing to it.
Call in sick and stay,
With me everyday.
Call in sick,
And run away.
Have you been dreaming?
Have you been wondering the same?
Oh, how I missed you.
Oh, how I needed today.
If nothing more to see your face;
To wake up next to you,
Inside your warm embrace.
So pack your bags,
Theres nothing to it.
Call in sick and stay,
With me everyday.
Call in sick,
And run away.
Call in sick and be,
On the road with me.
Call in sick,
And run away,
Away with me.
I'm spent,
And I'm tired of getting bent.
And I'm tired,
Of always looking foreward to a better day.
I'm spent,
And I hate feeling so used.
And I hate my attitude,
I've gone and lost along the way.
So pack your bags,
Theres nothing to it.
Call in sick and stay,
With me everyday.
Call in sick,
And run away.
Call in sick and be,
On the road with me.
Call in sick,
And run away,
Away with me.
Run away with me.
12.Get Me Out
Get Me Out
I don't wanna move, I just wanna lay here
Shacky hands, sweaty sheets, can't get my mind in gear
My legs went numb 3hours ago
Blank starw, don't care what you think you know
Get me out!
I'm feeling around, alone in the dark
Can't find the switch, all I need is a spark or a match
To find a way out, just a silver of light
I'll crawl and I'll fight and I'll scratch and I'll bite
Get me out!
13.Waiting For The World To End
Drawing closer, end of days, with much still left undone
Even as i turn this phrase, the end has now begun
History is history, tomorrow never comes
Today's the only day we have, and now that day is done
Waiting for the world to end
Searching for the signs, devastation right on time
Waiting for the world to end
Ignoring what's been said, blind to rivers running red
The doc did what he could, but we've lost to much blood
Large staring eyes that love surprises
The silence before sunrise, when you've paid the highest prices
It's too late to open your eyes
History is history, tomorrow never comes
Today's the only day we have, and now that day is done
All creation will collide then begin again
14.This Weekend
This weekend, we'll have a ball,
We'll hit the town and see it all,
So let's go out on Friday night,
We'll go see a show, or get in a fight.
So hold on tightly to me,
We're going for a ride,
In the sound (In the sound) of the stereo,
Let the rhythm (Let the rhythm),
Let it take control of you,
'Cause you ain't got nothing to lose.
It's nice enough for the drive-in,
Watching movies with my friends,
Or times are good, and times are bad,
But these are the best times that I've ever had.
So hold on tightly to me,
We're going for a ride,
In the sound (In the sound) of the stereo,
Let the rhythm (Let the rhythm),
Let it take control of you,
Don't say this isn't happening,
'Cause you ain't got nothing to lose.
One of these days I'll be out of your way,
And you can rest your head...
One of these days I'll be out of your way,
and leave my weds unsaid.
Don't let, Don't let, Don't let go ,
Of the sound (of the sound),
Coming out your stereo,
Let the rhythm (Let the rhythm)
Let it take control of you,
Don't say this isn't happening,
'Cause this is your weekend,
'Cause you ain't got nothing to lose.
15.Arrest Me
I feel like I'm lost and there's no going back,
To the place where I know I belong.
I've changed through the years like we all knew we would,
And now wonder if this change has been good.
Falling faster all the time, stepping further passed that line.
If all the air has left the room, slowly sinking in this tomb.
Arrest me, control me, don't act like you don't know me.
Stepping out or stepping in, ready to begin again.
Saw the wake yet there's a haze over my eyes.
This will be a hard one to disguise.
I start the day in focus, but it ends up blurred.
Like a Romesque language, I can't read a word.
Falling faster all the time, stepping further passed that line.
If all the air has left the room, slowly sinking in this tomb.
Arrest me, control me, don't act like you don't know me.
Stepping out or stepping in, ready to begin again.
And I'll be your patient, a product of environment.
Truth can be so hard to see when the heart and mind is warm and
free.
I feel like I'm lost and there's no going back,
To the place where I know I belong.
I've changed through the years like we all knew we would,
And now wonder if this change has been good.
16.Broken Hearts Disease
I admit it I'm a jerk and I'm taking all the blame.
I'll take it like a man, I'll run into the flames.
I ask, I plead, I beg, I need.
Don't let me die of broken hearts disease.
Don't let me down, I'm begging darling please.
Nothing's ever worth all the pain I always cause.
I do the dumbest things then try to win back your applause.
I plead, I cry, You said goodbye.
Don't let me die of broken hearts disease.
Don't let me down, I'm begging darling please.
Here lies my legacy, all my hopes and dreams, for everyone to
see.
Here lies my defeated heart, fighting this disease, for everyone
to see.
For everyone to see.
I admit it I'm a jerk and I've ruined both our lives.
Now I spend my days trying to analyze,
Where I went wrong and wrote this song.
Don't let me die of broken hearts disease.
Don't let me down, I'm begging darling please.
Don't make me cry, I'm down here on my knees.
Don't let me die of broken hearts disease.
