Now there’s always time calling for me
I’m the light blinking at the end of the road, blink back to let me know
I’m a fly that’s trapped in a web
But I’m thinking that my spiders dead
Lonely, lonely little life
I could kid myself in thinking that I’m fine

just a king and rusty throne
Oh the castle’s under siege,
But the sign outside says leave me alone

Trade MistakesTrade Mistakes
Placing a smile at the perfect event
Gracing your skin with the side of my hand
If I ever leave I could learn to miss you
But sentimental boy is my non de plume
Let me save you, hold this rope
I may never sleep tonight
As long as you’re still burning bright
If I could trade mistakes for sheep
Count me awake before you sleep
I’ll stay awake til I dream my mistakes so they fade away
I fill a room in this body
Deserted my organs can go on without me
You can’t fly these wings (fly these wings)
You can’t sleep in this box with me
Let me save you, hold this rope
I may never sleep tonight
As long as you’re still burning bright
If I could trade mistakes for sheep
Count me awake before you sleep
I’ll stay awake till I trade my mistakes so they fade away
Don’t
Let me me save you, hold this rope then I’ll pull you in
Cause I am an anchor
Save her or feel it sinking in
Let me save you, hold this rope
I am an anchor sinking her oh oh ooh
I may never sleep tonight
As long as you’re still burning bright
If I could trade mistakes for sheep
Count me awake Before you sleep
I’ll stay awake til I trade my mistakes or they fade away
MemoriesMemories
He was the congregations’ vagrant with an unrequited love
When your passions exaltation then finding refuge is not enough
She was the youngest of the family
And the last to be let go
And they decided they would try and make it on their own
CHORUS:
Oh memories where’d you go
You were all I’ve ever known
How I miss yesterday
And I let it fade away
Where’d you go-oh-oh
(oh-oh madness)
When July became December their affection fought the cold
But they couldn’t quite remember what inspired them to go
And it was beautifully depressing, like a streetcar named desire
They were fighting for their love and started growing tired
CHORUS:
Don’t fade away
(guitar solo)
Finally lost momentum and the bills were piling high
And the smile finally faded from the apple of their eye
And they were young and independent
And they thought they had it planned
Should of known right from the start you can’t predict the end
CHORUS x 2
Don’t Fade away
Oh.
The Ballad of Mona LisaTBOML
She paints her fingers with a close precision
He starts to notice empty bottles of gin
And takes a moment to assess the sin
She's paid for
A lonely speaker in a conversation
Her words are swimming through his ears again
There's nothing wrong with just a taste of what you've paid for
Say what you mean
Tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign
I want to believe
Woah, Mona Lisa,
You're guaranteed to run this town
Woah, Mona Lisa,
I'd pay to see you frown
He senses something, call it desperation
Another dollar, another day
And if she had the proper words to say,
She would tell him
But she'd have nothing left to sell him
Say what you mean
Tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign
I want to believe
Woah, Mona Lisa,
You're guaranteed to run this town
Woah, Mona Lisa,
I'd pay to see you frown
Mona Lisa, wear me out
Pleased to please ya
Mona Lisa, wear me out
Say what you mean
Tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign
I want to believe
Woah, Mona Lisa,
You're guaranteed to run this town
Woah, Mona Lisa,
I'd pay to see you frown
Say what you mean
Tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign
I want to believe
There's nothing wrong with just a taste of what you've paid for
Let's Kill TonightLet's Kill Tonight
If I retreat
Words, wars, and symphonies
Make room we're taking over here
So the gallanting
Cold and alone, it suits you well
You won't find me perching here again
May your feet serve you well
And the rest be sent to Hell
Where they always have belonged
Cold hearts, colder songs
They will play us out
With a song of pure romance
Stomp your feet and clap your hands
Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
May your feet serve you well
And the rest be sent to Hell
Where they always have belonged
Cold hearts, colder songs
They will play us out
With a song of pure romance
Stomp your feet and clap your hands
Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
Sarah SmilesSarah Smiles
I was fine just a guy living on my own,
Waiting for the sky to fall
Then you called and changed it all,
Doll,
Velvet lips and the eyes to pull me in,
We both know you'd already win,
Mm your original sin,
You fulled me once with your eyes now honey,
You fulled me twice with your lies and I say,
Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care,
She lives in her world so unaware,
Does she know that my destiny lies with her,
Sarah,
(Sarah, Sarah, Sarah)
Oh Sarah,
(Sarah)
are you saving me?
Waking up to a kiss and you're on your way,
I really hoped that you would stay,
But you left and went your own way,
Babe,
I don't mind take your time I got things to do,
Besides sit around and wait for you,
Oh and I hope you do too,
You fulled me once with your eyes now honey,
You fulled me twice with your lies and I say,
Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care,
She lives in her world so unaware,
Does she know that my destiny lies with her,
Sarah,
Oh Sarah,
are you saving me?
And it's killing me inside,
Consuming all my time,
You've left me blind,
And when I think I'm right,
You strip away my pride,
You cast it all aside but I say,
Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care,
She lives in her world so unaware,
Does she know that my destiny lies with her,
Sarah,
(Sarah)
Oh Sarah,
(Sarah)
are you saving me?

You have to remember I'm up here conducting you for a reason. Okay watch me, watch my fingers. Here we go ready? Watch me.
[I don't know French (that's what I assume it is) so when the liner notes come in I'll be sure to put that part here.]
My wing tips waltz across naive,
wood floors they creek,
innocently down the stairs,
drag melody,
my percussive feet serve cobweb headaches as a,
matching set of marching clocks,
the slumbering apparitions that they've come to wake up,
Here I am composing of burlesque,
Out of where they rest their necks,
Sunken in their splintered cradles
And ramshackle ants,
They asked for it, as a girl,
You have such a hard on,
Haunting me forever from the start,
It's never silent,
Ever since we met,
I only shoot up with your perfume,
It's the only thing,
That makes me feel as good as you do,
Ever since we met,
I've got just one regret to live through,
And that one regret is you,
How does a heart love,
If no one has noticed its presence,
And where does it go,
Trembling hands play my heart,
Like the trombone,
The beats gone and lost in the show,
You have such a hard on,
Haunting me forever from the start,
It's never silent,
Ever since we met,
I only shoot up with your perfume,
It's the only thing,
That makes me feel as good as you do,
Ever since we met,
I've got just one regret to live through,
and I regret ever letting you go,
Ever since we met,
I only shoot up with your perfume,
It's the only thing,
That makes me feel as good as you do,
Ever since we met,
I've got just one regret to live through,
and that one regret is you,
Mona Lisa please to please ya
(my one regret is you)
Mona Lisa please to please ya
(at that one regret is you)
Mona Lisa please to please ya
= Oh gloryOh glory
I can only hope it’s true enough
That every little thing I do for love
Redeems me from the moments I deem worthy
Of the worst things that I’ve done
It saves me from myself at times of envy when I’m missing everyone
If I wake in the morning I only need two more miracles to be a saint
Everything I promised everyone I’d be
Well I just ain’t
Lately it seems like everybody’s sick everybody’s tired
Built myself a wall of unhappy hearts
And only my heart knows my head is lying, lying
Oh glory, I think I see you round the bend
And I think I’d try any pose and get there in the end
Oh glory
When I’m looking past the silken sheets
Take a breath to notice I’m between
Every little piece of thread and memories that constitute your dreams
If I wake in the morning I only need two more miracles to be a saint
Everything I promised everyone I’d be
Well I just ain’t
Lately it seems like everybody’s sick everybody’s tired
Build myself a wall of unhappy hearts
And only my heart knows my head is lying, lying
Oh glory, I think I see you round the bend
And I think I’d try any pose and get there in the end
Oh glory
Oh glory, I think I see you round the bend
And I think I’d try any pose and get there in the end
Oh glory, I think I see you round the bend
And I think I’d try any pose and get there in the end
Lately it seems like everybody’s sick everybody’s tired
Build myself a wall of unhappy hearts
And only my heart knows my head is lying, lying
Oh glory, I think I see you round the bend
And I think I’d try any pose and get there in the end
Oh glory
Oh glory, I think I see you round the bend
And I think I’d try any pose and get there in the end
Oh glory
Oh glory
Oh glory
Turn off the lightsTurn Off The Lights
I got so sick of being on my own
Now the devil wont leave me alone
It's almost like I found a friend
Who's in it for the bitter end
Our conscious's are always so much heavier than our egos
I set my expectations high
So nothing ever comes out right
So shoot a star on the boulevard tonight
I think I'll figure it out with a little more time
But who needs time
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn on the show for me tonight
I've got my heavy heart to hold me down
Once it falls apart my heads in the clouds
So taking every chance I got
Like the man I know I'm not
So sick of wasting all my time
How in god's name did I survive
I need a little sympathy
To sore my insecurities
Our conscious's are always so much heavier than our egos
I set my expectations high
So nothing ever comes out right
So shoot a star on the boulevard tonight
I think I'll figure it out with a little more time
But who needs time
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn on the show for me tonight
I've got my heavy heart to hold me down
Once it falls apart my heads in the clouds
So taking every chance I got
Like the man I know I'm not
Oh oh oh, mhm
A heavy heart on the boulevard tonight, oh
Shooting stars watch me fall apart tonight, woah
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn on the show for me tonight
I've got my heavy heart to hold me down
Once it falls apart my heads in the clouds
So taking every chance I got
Like the man I know I'm not
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah
I wanna be freeI Wanna Be Free
Is there a heart inside the night
I can feel its final strike
The beat goes dry, and the spirit dies
Ohhhhh
I wanna dig this tinsletown until its six feet underground
Its safe to say, that timing is everything (everything)
I wanna be free, i wanna be loved, i wanna be more than your thinkin of
Everything seems to be estranged when your alone
Played our parts and covered ground
Drowned our sorrows laid em' down
My memories keepin the energy
I wanna be free, i wanna be loved, i wanna be more than your thinkin of
Everything seems to be astranged when your old
One day i'll stope keepin track and give myself time to react
One day, one day
I wanna be free, i wanna be loved, i wanna be more than your thinkin of
Everything seems to be estranged when your alone
Wanna be free, wanna be loved, wanna be more than your thinkin of
Everything seems to be estranged when your alone
Ohhhhh yeah!
Kaleidoscope EyesKaleidoscope Eyes
I'm a disappearing act in poorly
But if I ever get it right you'll miss me, solely
Look like the cat had just ate the canary
Coughing up feathers
There's a get out of jail card if I can think of something clever
I plead the fifth on all of this
When your chips are down
And your dreams are all gone
I'll still be here
Wishing and waiting for you to come home
Kaleidoscope eyes
Sparkle at the world
My emerald city, downtown girl
In the sickness of you
I'm just a white blood cell
Fighting like hell for you
Oh, I'm just a crack
With no intent or stash
Pour gasoline on the vault just to burn the cash
I swear to God
I'd never heard a better sound coming out
Than when you're whimpering my name from your mouth
I plead the fifth on all of this
When your chips are down
And your dreams are all gone
I'll still be here
Wishing and waiting for you to come home
Kaleidoscope eyes
Sparkle at the world
My emerald city, downtown girl
In the sickness of you
I'm just a white blood cell
Fighting like hell for you
I've got an insatiable desire for your insides
It's undeniable, I'll conspire you and pull against your body tonight
When your chips are down
And your dreams are all gone
I'll still be here
Wishing and waiting for you to come home
Kaleidoscope eyes
Sparkle at the world
My emerald city, downtown girl
In the sickness of you
I'm just a white blood cell
Fighting like hell for you
Come on, you can do this
Come on, don't get, don't get yourself down
Pace yourself, pace yourself

I'm just setting, I'm just setting a trap
And I'm not pulling no, I'm not pulling for you
you're just pulling at me
I'm not a betting man, but this is a sure thing
(bab-bab-bab-bab-bab-bab-bab-bab-bab-bab-badab)
I've been to Tokyo and to South Africa
So many places, can't you may say I've seen it all
But my favorite place is the warm embrace
Of holding your hair back in a bathroom stall
(ba-baba-baba-baba-baba-baba-baba-baba-baba-baba-baba-baba-baba-baba-babaabababa)
Chorus:
Everything I do is bittersweet
You could tell me secrets that I'll probably repeat
I'm not trying to hurt you, I just love to speak
It feels like we're pulling teeth
So bittersweet
Whuhuhu!
I guess that's how it's gotta be
I guess that's how it's gotta be
Verse2:
All that hate is gonna burn you up
It keeps me warm at night
Warmer than anyone, I think how many drinks I've had
No more in either hand
I'm slurring on purpose
And it's certainly worth it
Oh Ohh oh
Chorus:
Everything I do is bittersweet
You could tell me secrets that I'll probably repeat
I'm not trying to hurt you, I just love to speak
It feels like we're pulling teeth
So bittersweet
Whuhuhu!
I guess that's how it's gotta be
I guess that's how it's gotta be
I guess that's how it's gotta be
Verse3:
You and me in a converged tree
It's such a mystery why you're here
And you became as clear as cellophane
My voice of reasoning
I don't think I can take the way you make me out to be
I'm just setting, I'm just setting a trap
And I'm not pulling no, I'm not pulling for ya
Chorus:
Everything I do is bittersweet
You could tell me secrets that I'll probably repeat
I'm not trying to hurt you, I just love to speak
It feels like we're pulling teeth
So bittersweet
It feels like we're pulling teeth
So bittersweet
It feels like we're pulling teeth
So bittersweet

I’m a fly that’s trapped in a web
But I’m thinking that my spiders dead
Lonely, lonely little life
I could kid myself in thinking that I’m fine
CHORUS
That I’m skin and bone
just a king and rusty throne
Oh the castle’s under siege,
But the sign outside says leave me alone
CHORUS
( it was always you)
Blink back to let me know (it was always you)
Trade MistakesTrade Mistakes
Placing a smile at the perfect event
Gracing your skin with the side of my hand
If I ever leave I could learn to miss you
But sentimental boy is my non de plume
Let me save you, hold this rope
I may never sleep tonight
As long as you’re still burning bright
If I could trade mistakes for sheep
Count me awake before you sleep
I’ll stay awake til I dream my mistakes so they fade away
I fill a room in this body
Deserted my organs can go on without me
You can’t fly these wings (fly these wings)
You can’t sleep in this box with me
Let me save you, hold this rope
I may never sleep tonight
As long as you’re still burning bright
If I could trade mistakes for sheep
Count me awake before you sleep
I’ll stay awake till I trade my mistakes so they fade away
Don’t
Let me me save you, hold this rope then I’ll pull you in
Cause I am an anchor
Save her or feel it sinking in
Let me save you, hold this rope
I am an anchor sinking her oh oh ooh
I may never sleep tonight
As long as you’re still burning bright
If I could trade mistakes for sheep
Count me awake Before you sleep
I’ll stay awake til I trade my mistakes or they fade away
MemoriesMemories
He was the congregations’ vagrant with an unrequited love
When your passions exaltation then finding refuge is not enough
She was the youngest of the family
And the last to be let go
And they decided they would try and make it on their own
CHORUS:
Oh memories where’d you go
You were all I’ve ever known
How I miss yesterday
And I let it fade away
Where’d you go-oh-oh
(oh-oh madness)
When July became December their affection fought the cold
But they couldn’t quite remember what inspired them to go
And it was beautifully depressing, like a streetcar named desire
They were fighting for their love and started growing tired
CHORUS:
Don’t fade away
(guitar solo)
Finally lost momentum and the bills were piling high
And the smile finally faded from the apple of their eye
And they were young and independent
And they thought they had it planned
Should of known right from the start you can’t predict the end
CHORUS x 2
Don’t Fade away
Oh.
The Ballad of Mona LisaTBOML
She paints her fingers with a close precision
He starts to notice empty bottles of gin
And takes a moment to assess the sin
She's paid for
A lonely speaker in a conversation
Her words are swimming through his ears again
There's nothing wrong with just a taste of what you've paid for
Say what you mean
Tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign
I want to believe
Woah, Mona Lisa,
You're guaranteed to run this town
Woah, Mona Lisa,
I'd pay to see you frown
He senses something, call it desperation
Another dollar, another day
And if she had the proper words to say,
She would tell him
But she'd have nothing left to sell him
Say what you mean
Tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign
I want to believe
Woah, Mona Lisa,
You're guaranteed to run this town
Woah, Mona Lisa,
I'd pay to see you frown
Mona Lisa, wear me out
Pleased to please ya
Mona Lisa, wear me out
Say what you mean
Tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign
I want to believe
Woah, Mona Lisa,
You're guaranteed to run this town
Woah, Mona Lisa,
I'd pay to see you frown
Say what you mean
Tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign
I want to believe
There's nothing wrong with just a taste of what you've paid for
Let's Kill TonightLet's Kill Tonight
If I retreat
Words, wars, and symphonies
Make room we're taking over here
So the gallanting
Cold and alone, it suits you well
You won't find me perching here again
May your feet serve you well
And the rest be sent to Hell
Where they always have belonged
Cold hearts, colder songs
They will play us out
With a song of pure romance
Stomp your feet and clap your hands
Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
May your feet serve you well
And the rest be sent to Hell
Where they always have belonged
Cold hearts, colder songs
They will play us out
With a song of pure romance
Stomp your feet and clap your hands
Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!

I was fine just a guy living on my own,
Waiting for the sky to fall
Then you called and changed it all,
Doll,
Velvet lips and the eyes to pull me in,
We both know you'd already win,
Mm your original sin,
You fulled me once with your eyes now honey,
You fulled me twice with your lies and I say,
Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care,
She lives in her world so unaware,
Does she know that my destiny lies with her,
Sarah,
(Sarah, Sarah, Sarah)
Oh Sarah,
(Sarah)
are you saving me?
Waking up to a kiss and you're on your way,
I really hoped that you would stay,
But you left and went your own way,
Babe,
I don't mind take your time I got things to do,
Besides sit around and wait for you,
Oh and I hope you do too,
You fulled me once with your eyes now honey,
You fulled me twice with your lies and I say,
Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care,
She lives in her world so unaware,
Does she know that my destiny lies with her,
Sarah,
Oh Sarah,
are you saving me?
And it's killing me inside,
Consuming all my time,
You've left me blind,
And when I think I'm right,
You strip away my pride,
You cast it all aside but I say,
Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care,
She lives in her world so unaware,
Does she know that my destiny lies with her,
Sarah,
(Sarah)
Oh Sarah,
(Sarah)
are you saving me?

You have to remember I'm up here conducting you for a reason. Okay watch me, watch my fingers. Here we go ready? Watch me.
[I don't know French (that's what I assume it is) so when the liner notes come in I'll be sure to put that part here.]
My wing tips waltz across naive,
wood floors they creek,
innocently down the stairs,
drag melody,
my percussive feet serve cobweb headaches as a,
matching set of marching clocks,
the slumbering apparitions that they've come to wake up,
Here I am composing of burlesque,
Out of where they rest their necks,
Sunken in their splintered cradles
And ramshackle ants,
They asked for it, as a girl,
You have such a hard on,
Haunting me forever from the start,
It's never silent,
Ever since we met,
I only shoot up with your perfume,
It's the only thing,
That makes me feel as good as you do,
Ever since we met,
I've got just one regret to live through,
And that one regret is you,
How does a heart love,
If no one has noticed its presence,
And where does it go,
Trembling hands play my heart,
Like the trombone,
The beats gone and lost in the show,
You have such a hard on,
Haunting me forever from the start,
It's never silent,
Ever since we met,
I only shoot up with your perfume,
It's the only thing,
That makes me feel as good as you do,
Ever since we met,
I've got just one regret to live through,
and I regret ever letting you go,
Ever since we met,
I only shoot up with your perfume,
It's the only thing,
That makes me feel as good as you do,
Ever since we met,
I've got just one regret to live through,
and that one regret is you,
Mona Lisa please to please ya
(my one regret is you)
Mona Lisa please to please ya
(at that one regret is you)
Mona Lisa please to please ya
= Oh gloryOh glory
I can only hope it’s true enough
That every little thing I do for love
Redeems me from the moments I deem worthy
Of the worst things that I’ve done
It saves me from myself at times of envy when I’m missing everyone
If I wake in the morning I only need two more miracles to be a saint
Everything I promised everyone I’d be
Well I just ain’t
Lately it seems like everybody’s sick everybody’s tired
Built myself a wall of unhappy hearts
And only my heart knows my head is lying, lying
Oh glory, I think I see you round the bend
And I think I’d try any pose and get there in the end
Oh glory
When I’m looking past the silken sheets
Take a breath to notice I’m between
Every little piece of thread and memories that constitute your dreams
If I wake in the morning I only need two more miracles to be a saint
Everything I promised everyone I’d be
Well I just ain’t
Lately it seems like everybody’s sick everybody’s tired
Build myself a wall of unhappy hearts
And only my heart knows my head is lying, lying
Oh glory, I think I see you round the bend
And I think I’d try any pose and get there in the end
Oh glory
Oh glory, I think I see you round the bend
And I think I’d try any pose and get there in the end
Oh glory, I think I see you round the bend
And I think I’d try any pose and get there in the end
Lately it seems like everybody’s sick everybody’s tired
Build myself a wall of unhappy hearts
And only my heart knows my head is lying, lying
Oh glory, I think I see you round the bend
And I think I’d try any pose and get there in the end
Oh glory
Oh glory, I think I see you round the bend
And I think I’d try any pose and get there in the end
Oh glory
Oh glory
Oh glory
Turn off the lightsTurn Off The Lights
I got so sick of being on my own
Now the devil wont leave me alone
It's almost like I found a friend
Who's in it for the bitter end
Our conscious's are always so much heavier than our egos
I set my expectations high
So nothing ever comes out right
So shoot a star on the boulevard tonight
I think I'll figure it out with a little more time
But who needs time
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn on the show for me tonight
I've got my heavy heart to hold me down
Once it falls apart my heads in the clouds
So taking every chance I got
Like the man I know I'm not
So sick of wasting all my time
How in god's name did I survive
I need a little sympathy
To sore my insecurities
Our conscious's are always so much heavier than our egos
I set my expectations high
So nothing ever comes out right
So shoot a star on the boulevard tonight
I think I'll figure it out with a little more time
But who needs time
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn on the show for me tonight
I've got my heavy heart to hold me down
Once it falls apart my heads in the clouds
So taking every chance I got
Like the man I know I'm not
Oh oh oh, mhm
A heavy heart on the boulevard tonight, oh
Shooting stars watch me fall apart tonight, woah
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn on the show for me tonight
I've got my heavy heart to hold me down
Once it falls apart my heads in the clouds
So taking every chance I got
Like the man I know I'm not
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah
I wanna be freeI Wanna Be Free
Is there a heart inside the night
I can feel its final strike
The beat goes dry, and the spirit dies
Ohhhhh
I wanna dig this tinsletown until its six feet underground
Its safe to say, that timing is everything (everything)
I wanna be free, i wanna be loved, i wanna be more than your thinkin of
Everything seems to be estranged when your alone
Played our parts and covered ground
Drowned our sorrows laid em' down
My memories keepin the energy
I wanna be free, i wanna be loved, i wanna be more than your thinkin of
Everything seems to be astranged when your old
One day i'll stope keepin track and give myself time to react
One day, one day
I wanna be free, i wanna be loved, i wanna be more than your thinkin of
Everything seems to be estranged when your alone
Wanna be free, wanna be loved, wanna be more than your thinkin of
Everything seems to be estranged when your alone
Ohhhhh yeah!
Kaleidoscope EyesKaleidoscope Eyes
I'm a disappearing act in poorly
But if I ever get it right you'll miss me, solely
Look like the cat had just ate the canary
Coughing up feathers
There's a get out of jail card if I can think of something clever
I plead the fifth on all of this
When your chips are down
And your dreams are all gone
I'll still be here
Wishing and waiting for you to come home
Kaleidoscope eyes
Sparkle at the world
My emerald city, downtown girl
In the sickness of you
I'm just a white blood cell
Fighting like hell for you
Oh, I'm just a crack
With no intent or stash
Pour gasoline on the vault just to burn the cash
I swear to God
I'd never heard a better sound coming out
Than when you're whimpering my name from your mouth
I plead the fifth on all of this
When your chips are down
And your dreams are all gone
I'll still be here
Wishing and waiting for you to come home
Kaleidoscope eyes
Sparkle at the world
My emerald city, downtown girl
In the sickness of you
I'm just a white blood cell
Fighting like hell for you
I've got an insatiable desire for your insides
It's undeniable, I'll conspire you and pull against your body tonight
When your chips are down
And your dreams are all gone
I'll still be here
Wishing and waiting for you to come home
Kaleidoscope eyes
Sparkle at the world
My emerald city, downtown girl
In the sickness of you
I'm just a white blood cell
Fighting like hell for you
Come on, you can do this
Come on, don't get, don't get yourself down
Pace yourself, pace yourself
BittersweetBittersweet
I'm just setting, I'm just setting a trap
And I'm not pulling no, I'm not pulling for you
you're just pulling at me
I'm not a betting man, but this is a sure thing
(bab-bab-bab-bab-bab-bab-bab-bab-bab-bab-badab)
I've been to Tokyo and to South Africa
So many places, can't you may say I've seen it all
But my favorite place is the warm embrace
Of holding your hair back in a bathroom stall
(ba-baba-baba-baba-baba-baba-baba-baba-baba-baba-baba-baba-baba-baba-babaabababa)
Chorus:
Everything I do is bittersweet
You could tell me secrets that I'll probably repeat
I'm not trying to hurt you, I just love to speak
It feels like we're pulling teeth
So bittersweet
Whuhuhu!
I guess that's how it's gotta be
I guess that's how it's gotta be
Verse2:
All that hate is gonna burn you up
It keeps me warm at night
Warmer than anyone, I think how many drinks I've had
No more in either hand
I'm slurring on purpose
And it's certainly worth it
Oh Ohh oh
Chorus:
Everything I do is bittersweet
You could tell me secrets that I'll probably repeat
I'm not trying to hurt you, I just love to speak
It feels like we're pulling teeth
So bittersweet
Whuhuhu!
I guess that's how it's gotta be
I guess that's how it's gotta be
I guess that's how it's gotta be
Verse3:
You and me in a converged tree
It's such a mystery why you're here
And you became as clear as cellophane
My voice of reasoning
I don't think I can take the way you make me out to be
I'm just setting, I'm just setting a trap
And I'm not pulling no, I'm not pulling for ya
Chorus:
Everything I do is bittersweet
You could tell me secrets that I'll probably repeat
I'm not trying to hurt you, I just love to speak
It feels like we're pulling teeth
So bittersweet
It feels like we're pulling teeth
So bittersweet
It feels like we're pulling teeth
So bittersweet
