Our
Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song...
Brothers and sisters
put this record down
Take my advice 'cause
we are bad news
We will leave you high
and dry
It's not worth the hearing
you'll lose
It's just past 8:00 and
I'm feeling young and reckless
The ribbon on my wrist
says:
"Do not open before Christmas"
We're only liars, but
we're the best
We're only good for the
latest trend
We're only good so you
can have almost famous friends
Besides we've got such
good fashion sense
Brothers and sisters-put
these words down
Into your notebook, spit
lines like these:
"We're good friends only
when you're on your knees"
Make them dance like
we were shooting their feet
It's just past 8:00 and
I'm feeling young and reckless
The ribbon on my wrist
says:
"Do not open before Christmas"
We're only liars, but
we're the best
We're only good for the
latest trend
We're only good so you
can have almost famous friends
Besides we've got such
good fashion sense
We're only liars, but
we're the best
We're only good for the
latest trend
We're only liars, but
we're the best
We're only good for the
latest trend
We're only good so you
can have almost famous friends
Besides we've got such
good fashion sense
Dance, Dance
She says she's no good
with words but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out
"A joke of a romantic"
or stuck to my tongue
Weighed down with words
too over-dramatic
Tonight it's "it can't
get much worse"
Vs. "no one should ever
feel like.."
I'm two quarters and
a heart down
And I don't want to forget
how your voice sounds
These words are all I
have so I'll write them
So you need them just
to get by
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to
half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives
you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way
they'd love
If they knew how misery
loved me
You always fold just
before you're found out
Drink up its last call
Last resort
But only the first mistake
and I...
I'm two quarters and
a heart down
And I don't want to forget
how your voice sounds
These words are all I
have so I'll write them
So you need them just
to get by
Why don't you show me
the little bit of spine
You've been saving for
his mattress, love
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to
half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives
you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way
they'd love
If they knew how misery
loved me
Why don't you show me
the little bit of spine
You've been saving for
his mattress (mattress, mattress)
I only want sympathy
in the form of you crawling into bed with me
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to
half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives
you'd love to lead
Dance this is the way
they'd love (way they'd love)
Dance this is the way
they'd love (way they'd love)
Dance this is the way
they'd love
If they knew how misery
loved me
Dance, Dance (x4)
Nobody Puts Baby In The
Corner
Drink down that Gin and
Kerosene,
And come spit on bridges
with me,
Just to keep us warm.
Then light a match and
leave me be.
I'll keep my jealousy
close,
Cause it's all mine.
If you say this makes
you happy,
Then I'm not the only
one who is lying.
Keep quiet,
Nothing comes as easy
as you.
Can I lay in your bed
all day,
And be your best kept
secret,
And your biggest mistake?
(The hand behind this
pen relives a failure everyday)
She's got a scar on her
chest,
In the shape of a badge.
Now its rusted and cracked,
It meant someone once
believed in her,
But that time has passed.
So wear me like a locket
around your throat.
I'll weigh you down.
I'll watch you choke.
You look so good in blue. |
Of
All The Gin Joints In All The World
You only hold me up like
this
'Cause you don't know
who I really am
Sometimes I just want
to know what it's like to be you
We're making out inside
crashed cars
We're sleeping through
all our memories
I used to waste my time
dreaming of being alive (now I only waste it dreaming of you)
Turn off the lights and
turn off the shyness
'Cause all of our moves
make up for the silence
An oh, the way your makeup
stains my pillowcase
Like I'll never be the
same
You only hold me up like
this
'Cause you don't know
who I really am
I used to waste my time
on
Waste my time on
Waste my time dreaming
of being alive (now I only waste it dreaming of you)
Turn off the lights and
turn off the shyness
'Cause all of our moves
make up for the silence
An oh, the way your makeup
stains my pillowcase
Like I'll never be the
same
I've got headaches and
bad luck but they couldn't touch you,
no I've got headaches
and bad luck but they couldn't touch you, no
I'm not trying
You only hold me up like
this
Turn off the lights and
turn off the shyness
'Cause all of our moves
make up for the silence
An oh, the way your makeup
stains
Like I'll never be the
same
Sugar, We'Re
Goin Down
Am I more than you bargained
for yet
I've been dying to tell
you anything you want to hear
Cause that's just who
I am this week
Lie in the grass, next
to the mausoleum
I'm just a notch in your
bedpost
But you're just a line
in a song
(A notch in your bedpost,
but you're just a line in a song)
Drop a heart, break a
name
We're always sleeping
in, and sleeping for the wrong team
We're going down, down
in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going
down swinging
I'll be your number one
with a bullet
A loaded God complex,
cock it and pull it
[x2]
Is this more than you
bargained for yet
Oh don't mind me I'm
watching you two from the closet
Wishing to be the friction
in your jeans
Isn't it messed up how
I'm just dying to be him
I'm just a notch in your
bedpost
But you're just a line
in a song
(Notch in your bedpost,
but you're just a line in a song)
Drop a heart, break a
name
We're always sleeping
in, and sleeping for the wrong team
We're going down, down
in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going
down swinging
I'll be your number one
with a bullet
A loaded God complex,
cock it and pull it
[x2]
Down, down in an earlier
round
And Sugar, we're going
down swinging
I'll be your number one
with a bullet
A loaded God complex,
cock it and pull it
We're going down, down
in an earlier round (Take aim at myself)
And Sugar, we're going
down swinging (Take back what you said)
I'll be your number one
with a bullet (Take aim at myself)
A loaded God complex,
cock it and pull it
We're going down, down
(down, down)
Down, down (down, down)
We're going down, down
(down, down)
A loaded God complex,
cock it and pull it
We're going down, down
in an earlier round (Take aim at myself)
And Sugar, we're going
down swinging (Take back what you said)
I'll be your number one
with a bullet (Take aim at myself)
A loaded God complex,
cock it and pull it
I'Ve Got
A Dark Alley And A Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth
Joke me something awful
just like kisses on the necks of "best friends"*
We're the kids who feel
like dead ends
And I want to be known
for my hits, not just my misses
I took a shot and didn't
even come close
At trust and love and
hope
And the poets are just
kids who didn't make it
And never had it at all
And the record won't
stop skipping
And the lies just won't
stop slipping
And besides my reputation's
on the line
We can fake it for the
airwaves
Force our smiles, baby,
half dead
From comparing myself
to everyone else around me
Please put the doctor
on the phone 'cause I'm not making any sense
Blame everyone but me
for this mess
And my back has been
breaking from this heavy heart
We never seemed so far
I'm hopelessly hopeful,
that you're just hopeless enough
But we never had it at
all
And the record won't
stop skipping
And the lies just won't
stop slipping
And besides my reputation's
on the line
We can fake it for the
airwaves
Force our smiles, baby,
half dead
From comparing myself
to everyone else around me
to everyone else around
me
everyone else around
me
everyone else around
me |
