I wanna be a hippie
but I forgot how to love
It's hard to be a garbage man
When a sailor stole my glove
I wanna be reckless
But I'm feeling so uptight
Put your mama in a headlock baby
And do it right
Who's got the crack
Who's got the crack

Well she's not bleeding on the ballroom floor

Just for the attention.

Cause That's just ridiculous, lie on.

But she sure is going to get it
(The attention and the bullets)
Here's the setting
Fashion magazines line the walls

The walls line the bullet holes...
You sure, you sure you let her have it?
You sure, you sure you...

Have some composure
And where is your posture?

oh no no!

You're pulling the trigger

Pulling the trigger all wrong

Have some composure
And where is your posture?

oh no no!

You're pulling the trigger

Pulling the trigger all wrong

Give me envy
Give me malice
Give me attention
Give me envy
Give me malice


Give me a break!

When I say "Shotgun" you say "Wedding"
"Shotgun" , "Wedding"
"Shotgun" , "Wedding"


Well she didn't choose this role
But she'll play it and make it sincere

So you cry, you cry
(Baby give me a break!)
But they believe it from the tears
And the teeth right down to the bloooooood

At her feet
Boys will be boys
Hiding in estrogens and wearing aubergine dreams
(Baby give me a break!)

Have some composure
And where is your posture?

oh no no!


You're pulling the trigger

Pulling the trigger all wrong

Have some composure
And where is your posture?

oh no no!

You're pulling the trigger

Pulling the trigger all wrong


Come on this is screaming "Photo op." op...

(It's Time To Dance)
Come on this is screaming "Photo op." op...

(It's Time To Dance)
Come on
Come on
This is screaming
This is screaming
This is screaming "Photo op."

Have some composure

And where is your posture?
(You sure, you sure let her have it?)
You're pulling the trigger
(You sure you sure you..)

Give me envy
Give me malice
Give me attention
Give me envy
Give me malice
Baby give me a break!



When I say "Shotgun" you say "Wedding"
"Shotgun" , "Wedding"
"Shotgun" , "Wedding"


Boys will be boys

Hiding in estrogens and boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Hiding in estrogens and wearing aubergine dreams

Burn it down till the embers smoke on the ground

And start new when your heart is an empty room

With walls of the deepest blue

Fall fades how it ages when you're away
Spring blooms and you find the love that's true
But you don't know what now to do
Cause the chase is all you know
And she stopped running months ago


And all you see is where else you could be
When you're at home out on the street
Are so many possibilities to not be alone

The flames and smoke climbed out of every window
And disappeared with everything that you held dear
And you shed not a single tear for the things that you didn't need
Cause you knew you were finally free

Cause all you see is where else you could be
When you're at home out on the street

Are so many possibilities to not be alone

And all you see is where else you could be
When you're at home there on the street
Are so many possibilities to not be alone

Squeaky swings and tall grass

The longest shadows ever cast

The water's warm and children swim
And we frolicked about in our summer skin

I don't recall a single care
Just greenery and humid air
Then Labor day came and went
And we shed what was left of our summer skin

On the night you left I came over
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders

Our brand new coats so flushed and pink
And I knew your heart I couldn't win
Cause the seasons change was a conduit

And we left our love in our summer skin

(I'll be the best mistake you'll ever make)

I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me

And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing

And feel, feel what its like to be new

Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations

So they may have a chance of finding a place
where they’re far more suited than here


I cannot guess what we'll discover
Between the dirt with our palms cut like shovels
But I know our filthy hand can wash one another’s
And not one speck will remain

I do believe it’s true

That there are holes left in both of our shoes
If the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too

So brown eyes I hold you near



Cause you’re the only song I want to hear


A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body


I do believe it’s true

That there are holes left in both of our shoes
If the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too

So brown eyes I hold you near



Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

11:54AM

Your grand dad left home for the circus. He was young just like me,

with hope to explore. He married a girl in Virginia.

She could swing the trapeze; they could sleep on the floor.

Your mother was born in December, on the one sunny day that winter gave up.
She had warm summer eyes that flickered like fireflies,
when she stared at the world.


So why do you leave these stories unfinished,
my Cheshire cat doorstop with tears in her eyes?

Why do you look when you've already found it?
What did you find that could leave you walking by?

She was raised in a New England village.
Then she moved to LA with her firefly stare,

and you loved sunset strip when it sparkled,

you grew up and you sparkled but why don't you care?

So why do you leave these stories unfinished,
my Cheshire cat doorstop with tears in her eyes?

Why do you look when you've already found it?
What did you find that could leave you walking by?


These nights

I get high

just from breathing.



When I lie here with you I'm sure that I'm real,
like that firework over the freeway.
I could stay here all day but that's not how you feel.

So why do you leave these questions unanswered?
The circus awaits and you're already gone.
My Cheshire cat doorstop with fear in your smile,
what makes it so easy for you to be walking by?
And what did I do that you can't seem to want me?

Why do we lie here and whisper goodbyes?

Where can I go that your pictures won't haunt me?
What makes it so easy for you to be walking by?

Sunbeam, stop tugging me
Pull that door shut quietly
Darling, what are you doing?
We don't have time for this

Mmm dey mmm da mmm daaeeoo
Mmm dey mmm da mmm daaeeoo

Crazy well what are you then?
Give me an hour and I'll give you your dreams...

Don't make a sound
Shh and listen
Keep your head down
We're not safe yet
Don't make a sound
And be good for me
'Cause I know they're waiting somewhere out here

Leave it I won't go back
We have to do it 'cause it's not been left here
Don't care what do they know
I've seen them, baby, and I know it's real

Mmm dey mmm da mmm daaeeoo
Mmm dey mmm da mmm daaeeoo

Sure, in time, I knew they'd come
Oh, are we having fun or what?

Yeah...

Mmm dey mmm da mmm daaeeoo
Mmm dey mmm da mmm daaeeoo

Don't make a sound
Shh and listen
Keep your head down
We're not safe yet
Don't make a sound
And be good for me
'Cause I know they're waiting somewhere out here

I feel good all over
I feel good all over
I feel good all over

wear your inside out...

You can breathe, you can breathe now
You can breathe, but the air is running out
You can breathe, you can breathe now
You can breathe, but the air is running out on you


You waited for me in the rain

In the parking lot
Cold hands, lips blue
Clothes stuck to you
You could have phoned me for a ride

It's a mess out there

you said the rain's the rain
Some air'd be good for you
(you can breathe, you can breathe now)
It'd be good for you
(you can breathe, but the air is running out

You get in my car

Where its warm
You cannot forget
skin new, hands true

My hands all over you

so whats another night
The seats rolled back
We can't see through
The rains the rain
Some air'd be good for you

You can breathe, you can breathe now
You can breathe, but the air is running out
You can breathe, you can breathe now
You can breathe, but the air is running out on you


And you walked for miles down

The shores of California to the
Coast of Mexico where you could hide
And no one'd have to know

You can breathe, you can breathe now
You can breathe, but the air is running out
You can breathe, you can breathe now
You can breathe, but the air is running out (on you now)

You can breathe, you can breathe now
You can breathe, but the air is running out
You can breathe, you can breathe now
You can breathe, but the air is running out on you
Running out on you



(Maybe, the world can look like this forever)

(You can breathe but the air is running out)
(Maybe, the world can look like this forever)
(Maybe, the world can look like this forever)
(You can breathe but the air is running out)
(Maybe, the world can look like this forever)

Look at this photograph

Everytime I do it makes me laugh


How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey's head

And this is where I grew up

I think the prison outa fix it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out

And this is where I went to school

Most of the time I had better things to do
Criminal records said I've broken twice
I must have done it half a dozen times

I wonder if its too late
Should i go back and try to graduate

Last man and now that it was back then
If I was them I woulndnt let me in

Oh oh oh
Oh god I

Every memory of looking out the back door

I have the photo that was printed on my bedroom door
Its time to say, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door

I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
Its time to say, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye

We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know

We said someday wed find out how if feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel

Kim's the first girl I kissed

I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since god knows when

Oh oh oh
Oh god I

Every memory of looking out the back door

I have the photo that was printed on my bedroom door
Its time to say, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door

I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
Its time to say, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

I miss that town
I cannot believe it

So hard to stay
So hard to leave it



If I could I relive those days
I know the one that would never change



Oh oh oh
Oh god I

Every memory of looking out the back door

I have the photo that was printed on my bedroom door
Its time to say, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door

I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
Its time to say, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye


Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
Everytime I do it makes me

When I'm lying in your bed with emotions through my head

you know that I'm thinking, I'm thinking...

and I have reasons to believe that I'm not the only
one you spend this time with, but I'll stay...

You say it's your way,

you wont let me down [x2]
you lie through your teeth
you smile in your sleep
you smile in your sleep


When we met you said we were the same, you know
that we're different, we're different,
and all the times you promised me that everything would
work out in the end, you were gravely mistaken


You say it's your way,

you wont let me down [x2]
you lie through your teeth
you smile in your sleep
you smile in your sleep


You lie [x4], you lie through your teeth
you wont let me down, you lie
and I deserve better than this
I drain myself for only one...

your way [x3], I pay, you came for me

let's think this through, I'll seep through you,

your pale [x4], your pale pale eyes

When you're lying in your bed, the eulogies been read
you know that it's fading, you lied

You say it's your way,

you wont let me down [x2]
you lie through your teeth
you smile in your sleep
you smile in your sleep


You smile [x4] and I deserve better than this

She fooled all of her friends,
Into thinking she’s so strong,

But she still sleeps with the light on,

And she acts like it’s all right on,
As she smiles again
And her mother lies there sick with cancer,
And her friends don’t understand her,

She’s a question without answers,

Who feels like falling apart


She knows, she’s so much more than worthless,

But she needs to find her purpose,

She wonders what she, did to deserve this and...



She’s calling out to You,

This is a call; this is a call out,

'Cause everytime I fall down,
I reach out to you
And I’m losing all control now,
And my hazard signs are all out,

I’m asking you, to show me what this life, is all about


And he tells everyone a story,

Because he thinks his life is boring,
And he fights, so you won’t ignore him,
Because that’s his biggest fear

And he cries, but you’ll rarely see him do it,

And he loves, but he’s scared to use it,

So he hides behind the music,
Cause he likes it that way


And he knows, he‚s so much more than worthless,
He needs to find the surface,
'Cause he’s, starting to get nervous


He’s calling out to You,

This is a call, this is a call out,
Everytime I fall down,
I reach out to you

And I’m losing all control now,
And my hazard signs are all out,
I’m asking you, to show me what this life, is all about.


Have you ever felt this way before?
'Cause I don’t want to hide here anymore,
Take me to a place where nothing’s wrong, and,
Thanks for coming, shut the door.



And they say someone out there sees us,
Well if you’re real then save me Jesus,



'Cause I’ve been this way, for far too long,
I wasn’t meant, to feel alone


Now I’m calling out to You,

This is a call, this is a call out,
'Cause everytime I fall down,
I reach out to you

And I’m losing all control now,
And my hazard signs are all out,
I’m asking you, to show me what this life, is all about
show me what this life, is all about
