Blood
Well they encourage your complete cooperation, Send you roses when they think you need to smile. I can't control myself because I don't know how, And they love me for it honestly, I'll be here for a while. So give them blood, blood, gallons of the stuff! Give them all that they can drink and it will never be enough. So give them blood, blood, blood. Grab a glass because there's going to be a flood! A celebrated man amongst the gurneys. They can fix me proper with a bit of luck. The doctors and the nurses they adore me so, But it's really quite alarming cause I'm such an awful fuck. (Why thank you!) I gave you blood, blood, gallons of the stuff, I gave you all that you can drink and it has never been enough. I gave you blood, blood, blood, I'm the kind of human wreckage that you love.
Bulletproof heart
Gravity, don't mean too much to me I'm who I've got to be These pigs are after me, after you Run away, like it was yesterday And we could run away If we could run away Run away from here
I got a bulletproof heart You got a hollow point smile Me and your runaway scars Got a photograph dream on the getaway mile Let's blow a hole in this town Too much talking with a laser blade Gunnin' out of this place in a bullet's embrace then we'll do it again How can they say Jenny could you come back home? Cause everybody knows you don't Ever wanna come back let me be the one to save you Gravity, don't mean too much to me I'm who I've got to be These pigs are after me, after you Run away, like it was yesterday When we could run away When we could run away, run away from here I'm shootin' out of this room Because I sure don't like the company Stop your preaching right there Cause I really don't care and I'll do it again So get me out of my head Cause it's getting kind of cramped you know Coming ready or not when the motor gets hot we can do it again The papers say Johnny won't you come back home? Cause everybody knows you don't Want to give up yourself then tell the truth And God will save you Gravity, don't mean too much to me I'm who I've got to be These pigs are after me, after you Run away, like it was yesterday And we could run away If we could run away, run away from here And though I know how much you hate this Are you gonna be the one to save us From the black and hopeless feeling Will you mean it when the end comes reeling Hold your heart into this darkness Will it ever be the light to shine you out Or fail and leave you stranded I ain't gonna be the one left standing You ain't gonna be the one left standing We ain't gonna be the ones left standing Gravity, don't mean too much to me Is this our destiny This world is after me, after you Run away, like it was yesterday And we could run away Run away, run away Run away from here
Bury Me In Black I said, we'll drown ourselves in misery tonight I lied, you've worn out all your dancing shoes this time Just give us war, worn lipstick by the door if I inflame These eyes have had too much to drink again tonight Black skies, we'll douse ourselves in high explosive light Just give us war, worn, I've been calling you all week for my shotgun Pick up the phone Pick up the phone, fucker I wanna see what you're insides look like I bet you're not fucking pretty on the inside I wanna see what you're insides look like I wanna see em Well you don't say And well I can explain what happened to my face late last night I'm sleepin next to pools in vacant alleyways And what I'm goin through, shot lipgloss through my veins And when I can't complain With the falling rain C'mon I wanna save your heart I wanna see what your insides may be
cancer
Turn away, If you could get me a drink, Of water cause my lips are chapped and faded. Call my Aunt Marie. Help her gather all my things, And bury me in all my favourite colours. My sisters and my brothers still, I will not kiss you. 'Cause the hardest part of this, Is leaving you. Now turn away, Cause I'm awful just to see. Cause all my hair's abandoned all my body, Oh, my agony. Know that I will never marry. Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo, But counting down the days to go. It just ain't living. And I just hope you know, That if you say goodbye today, I'd ask you to be true. 'Cause the hardest part of this, Is leaving you. 'Cause the hardest part of this, Is leaving you.
Cemetery Drive This night, walk the dead In a solitary style And crash the cemetery gates In the dress your husband hates Way down, mark the grave Where the search lights find us Drinking by the mausoleum door And they found you on the bathroom floor I miss you, I miss you so far And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard Back home, off the run Singing songs that make you slit your wrists It isn't that much fun, staring down a loaded gun So I won't stop dying, won't stop lying If you want I'll keep on crying Did you get what you deserve? Is this what you always want me for? I miss you, I miss you so far And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard Way down, way down Way down, way down Way down, way down Way down, way down I miss you, I miss you so far And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard I miss you, I miss you so far And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard Made it so hard Way down, way down Way down, way down Way down, way down Way down, way down Way down
Cubicles It's the tearing sound of love-notes Drowning out these grey stained windows And the view outside is sterile And I'm only two cubes down I'll photocopy all the things that we could be If you took the time to notice me But you can't now, I don't blame you And it's not your fault that no one ever does But you don't work here any more It's just a vacant 3 by 4 And they might fill your place A temporary stand-in for your face This happens all the time And I can't help but think I'll die alone So I'll spend my time with strangers A condition that is terminal In this water-cooler romance And its coming to a close We could be in the park and dancing by a tree Kicking over blades we see Or a dark beach with a black view As pin-pricks in the velvet catch our fall But you don't work here any more It's just a vacant 3 by 4 And they might fill your place A temporary stand-in for your face It happens all the time And I can't help but think I'll die alone Sometimes I think I'll die alone, sometimes I think I'll die alone Sometimes I think I'll die alone, live and breathe and die alone Sometimes I think I'll die alone, sometimes I think I'll die alone Sometimes I think I'll die alone, think I'd love to die a -Just (just) take (take) Think I'd love to die -Me (me) Down (down) Think I'd love to die alone Think I'd love to die alone, think I'd love to die alone Think I'd love to die alone
It ain't exactly what you planned And wouldn't it be great if We were dead? Oh Dead! And if your heart stops beating I'll be here wondering Did you get what you deserve? The ending of your life And if you get to Heaven I'll be here waiting, babe Did you get what you deserve? The ending And if your life won't wait Then your heart can't take this Have you heard the news that you're dead? No one ever had much nice to say I think they never liked you anyway Oh take me from the hospital bed Wouldn't it be grand?
Tongue-tied and oh so squeamish You never fell in love Did you get what you deserve? The ending of your life And if you get to Heaven I'll be here waiting, babe Did you get what you deserve? The ending If your life won't wait Then your heart can't take this Have you heard the news that you're dead? No one ever had much nice to say I think they never liked you anyway Oh take me from the hospital bed Wouldn't it be grand To take a pistol by the hand? And wouldn't it be great if We were dead? And in my honest observation During this operation Found a complication In your heart, so long Cause now you've got Maybe just two weeks to live (I said, that some thing you can have) One, Two, One-Two-Three-Four! La-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la Well come on! La-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la Motherfucker If life ain't just a joke Then why are we laughing? Ain't just a joke Then why are we laughing? Ain't just a joke Then why are we laughing? Ain't just a joke Then why am I dead? Dead!
Hand in mine Into your icy blues And then I'd say to you We could take to the highway With this trunk of ammunition, too I'd end my days with you In a hail of bullets I'm I'm And All
trying trying to let you know just how much you mean to me after the things we put each other through
And I would drive on to the end with you A liquor store or two Keeps the gas tank full And I feel like there's nothing left to do But prove myself to you And we'll keep it running But this time I mean it I'll let you know just how much you mean to me As snow falls On desert sky Until the end of everything I'm trying I'm trying to let you know how much you mean As days fade And nights grow And we grow cold Until the end Until this pool of blood Until this I mean this I mean this Until the end of.. I'm trying I'm trying to let you know how much you mean. As days fade And nights grow And we go cold But this time We'll show them We'll show them all how much we mean As snow falls On desert sky Until the end of every.. All we I mean All we I mean All we I mean All we I mean
are.. this are.. this are.. this. are.. this
All we are is bullets All we are is bullets All we are is bullets All we are is bullets
As lead rains Pass on through Our phantoms Forever forever Like scarecrows That fuel this flame We're burning Forever and ever Know how much I want to show you you're the only one Like a bed of roses there's a dozen reasons In This Gun And as we're falling down And in this pool of blood And as we're touching hands.. And as we're falling down And in this pool of blood.. And as we're falling down I'll see your eyes And in this pool of blood I'll meet your eyes I mean this Forever
Desert Song We hold in our hearts the sword and the faith Swelled up from the rain, clouds move like a wraith Well after all, we'll lie another day And through it all We'll find some other way To carry on through cartilage and fluid And did you come to stare, or wash away the blood? Well tonight, well tonight Will it ever come? Spend the rest of your days Rocking out just for the dead Well tonight Will it ever come? I can see you awake any time, in my head Did we all fall down? [x4] From the lights to the pavement From the van to the floor From backstage to the doctor From the Earth to the morgue Morgue, morgue, morgue Well tonight Will it ever come? Spend the rest of your days Rocking out just for the dead Well tonight Will it ever come? I can see you awake any time in my head All fall down Well after all...
DESTROYA Don't believe what they say We're dead flies in the summertime They leave us all behind With duct tape scars on my honey They don't like who you are You won't like where we'll go Brother, protect me now With blood they wash in the money You don't believe in God I don't believe in luck They don't believe in us But I believe we're the enemy You don't believe in God I don't believe in luck They don't believe in us But I believe we're the enemy Right now I'm sick down from the bones to the other side Red-Mob, we insects hide King rat in the streets in another life They laugh, we don't think it's funny If what you are Is just what you own What have you become When they take from you Almost everything You don't believe in God I don't believe in luck They don't believe in us But I believe we're the enemy You don't believe in God I don't believe in luck They don't believe in us But I believe we're the enemy Destroya (x6) Against the sun we're the enemy Destroya (x4)

Disenchanted Well I was there on the day They sold the cause for the queen And when the lights all went out We watched our lives on the screen I hate the ending myself, But it started with an alright scene It was the roar of the crowd, That gave me heartache to sing It was a lie when they smiled And said you won’t feel a thing And as we ran from the cops We laughed so hard it would sting Yeah yeah Whoa If I'm so wrong, (so wrong, so wrong) Can you listen to it all night long? (Night long, night long) Oh will it matter, after I’m gone Because you never learned a god damned thing You're just a sad song, with nothing to say About a life long wait for a hospital stay And if you think that I’m wrong This never meant nothing, to you I spent my high school career Spit on and shoved to agree So I can watch all my heroes Sell a car on TV Bring out the old guillotine We’ll show them what we all mean Yeah, yeah Ohhh If I’m so wrong (so wrong, so wrong) Can you listen to it all night long? (Night long, night long)
Now will it matter, after I'm gone? Because you never learned a god damned thing? It’s just a sad song, with nothing to say About a life long wait for a hospital stay. And if you think that I’m wrong, this never meant nothing to you So go, Alright Just go Right away But where did you run to? Where did you hide? Go find another way Price you pay Whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa Well, well You're just a sad song With nothing to say About a lifelong, wait for a hospital stay And if you think I'm wrong This never meant nothing to you Come on You're just a sad song With nothing to say About a lifelong, wait for a hospital stay And if you think I’m wrong This never meant nothing to you. At all At all At all At all
Drowning Lessons Without a sound I took her down And dressed in red and blue I squeezed Imaginary wedding gown That you can't wear in front of me
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet Lets say goodbye The hundredth time And then tomorrow we'll do it again
A kiss goodbye Your twisted shell As rice grains and roses fall at your feet Lets say goodbye The hundredth time And then tomorrow we'll do it again Tomorrow we'll do it again
I never thought it'd be this way Just me and you we're here alone And if you stay, All I'm asking for is A thousand bodies piled up I never thought would be enough To show you just what I've been thinking
I dragged her down And I'll keep on making more I put her out Just to prove that I adore And back there I left her where no one could see Every inch of sanity. And lifeless cold All I'm asking for is.. Into this well All I'm asking for is.. I stared as this moment was held for me A kiss goodbye Your twisted shell
These hands stained red From the times that I've killed you and then We can wash down this engagement ring
With poison and kerosene We'll laugh as we die And we'll celebrate the end of things with cheap champagne
Without.. Without a sound Without.. Without a sound And I wish you away Without a sound And I wish you away Without a sound, without a sound And I wish you away Without a sound, without a sound And I wish you away Without a sound, without a sound And I wish you away
Early Sunsets Over Monroeville
Your eyes vacant and stained.. But does anyone notice? But does anyone care? And if I had the guts to put this to your head.. And would anything matter if you're already dead? And now should I be shocked by the last thing you And the whole time while always giving said? Counting your face among the living Before I pull this trigger Your eyes vacant and stained.. Up and down escalators And in saying you loved me Pennies and colder fountains Made things harder at best Elevators and half price sales And these words changing nothing Trapped in by all these mountains As your body remains And there's no room in this hell Running away and hiding with you There's no room in the next I never thought they'd get me here And our memories defeat us Not knowing you'd change from just one bite And I'll end this direst I fought them all off just to hold you close and tight Late dawns and early sunsets Just like my favourite scenes Then holding hands and life was perfect Just like up on the screen
But does anyone notice? (But does anyone notice? But does anyone care? But does anyone care? And if I had the guts to put this to your head.. And if I had the guts to put this to your head.. But would anything matter if you're already dead? And should I be shocked now by the last thing you said? Before I pull this trigger
But does anything matter if you're already dead? And should I be shocked now by the last thing you said? Before I pull this trigger Your eyes vacant and stained.. And in saying you loved me Made things harder at best And these words changing nothing As your body remains And there's no room in this hell There's no room in the next But does anyone notice there's a corpse in this bed?
FAMOUS LAST WORDS Now, I know that I can't make you stay, But where's your heart? But where's your heart? But where's your... And I know there's nothing I can say, To change that part. To change that part. To change... So many bright lights that cast a shadow, But can I speak? Well, is it hard understanding I'm incomplete? A life that's so demanding, I get so weak. A love that's so demanding, I can't speak. I am not afraid to keep on living. I am not afraid to walk this world alone. Honey, if you stay I'll be forgiving. Nothing you can say could stop me going home. Can you see my eyes are shining bright? 'Cause I'm out here on the other side Of a jet black hotel mirror. And I'm so weak. Is it hard understanding I'm incomplete? A love that's so demanding, I get weak. I am not afraid to keep on living. I am not afraid to walk this world alone. Honey, if you stay I'll be forgiving. Nothing you can say could stop me going home.
I am not afraid to keep on living. I am not afraid to walk this world alone. Honey, if you stay I'll be forgiving. Nothing you can say could stop me going home. These bright lights are always blinding me. These bright lights are always blinding me. I say I see you lying next to me. With words I thought I’d never speak. Awake and unafraid. Asleep or dead (I can see ,I see you lying) 'Cause I see you lying next to me. With words I thought I’d never speak. Awake and unafraid. Asleep or dead? 'Cause I see you lying next to me.

I never said I'd lie in wait forever If I died we'd be together I can't always just forget her But she could try At the end of the world Or the last thing I see You are Never coming home Never coming home Could I? Should I? And all the things that you never ever told me And all the smiles that are ever ever.. Ever.. Get the feeling that you're never All alone and I remember now At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies She dies At the end of the world Or the last thing I see You are Never coming home Never coming home Could I?

Give 'Em Hell Oh baby here comes the sound! I took a train outta New Orleans and they shot me full of ephedrine This is how we like to do it in the murder scene Can we settle up the score? If you were here I'd never have a fear So go on live your life But I miss you more than I did yesterday You're beautiful Well I'm a total wreck and almost every day Like the firing squad or the mess you made Well don't I look pretty walking down the street In the best damn dress I own? If you were here I'd never have a fear So go on live your life But I miss you more than I did yesterday You're so far away So c'mon show me how 'Cause I mean this more than words can ever say
Some might say we are made from the sharpest things you say We are young and we don't care Your dreams and your hopeless hair We never wanted it to be this way For all our lives Do you care at all? If you were here I'd never have a fear So go on live your life But I miss you more than I did yesterday You're so far away So c'mon show me how 'Cause I mean this more than words can ever say (Won't you tell me?) (Well, there's no way I'm kissing that guy)
Hang 'Em High Wait until it fades to black Ride into the sunset Would I lie to you? Well, I've got something to say Grab your six-gun from your back Throttle the ignition Would I die for you? Well here's your answer in spades Shotgun sinners Wild eyed jokers Got you in my sights Gun it while I'm holding on After all is said and done Climb out from the pine box Well I'm asking you 'Cause she's got nothing to say The angels just cut out her tongue Call her black Mariah Would I lie to you? That girl's not right in the brain
Mass convulsions Strike the choir By the grace of God Gun it while I'm holding on But don't stop if I fall And don't look back Oh baby don't stop Bury me and fade to black She won't stop me put it down She won't stop me put it down She won't stop me put it down So get your gun and meet me by the door She won't stop me put it down She won't stop me put it down She won't stop me put it down So baby.. Don't stop if I fall And don't look back Oh baby don't stop Bury me and fade to black
Headfirst For Halos Yeah
Well let's go back to the middle of the day that starts it all I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling And now the red ones make me fly And the blue ones help me fall And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling And as the fragments of my skull begin to fall Fall on your tongue like pixie dust Just think happy thoughts and we'll fly home We'll fly home You and I We'll fly home C'mon

WOO!
Hear the sound The angels come screaming Down your voice I hear you’ve been bleeding Make your choice They say you’ve been pleading Someone save us
Heaven Help Us
Heaven help us now Come crashing down And hear the sound As your falling down And at this old hotel But I can’t tell if I’ve been breathing or sleeping or screaming or waiting For the man to call or maybe All of the above Cause mostly I’ve been sprawled on these cathedral steps While spitting out the blood and screaming Someone save us Heaven help us now Come crashing down And hear the sound As your falling down And will you pray for me Make them say your name Will you lay for me
And make a saint of– ‘Cause I’ll give you all the nails you need Cover me in gasoline Wipe away those tears of blood again And the punch line to the joke is asking Someone save us Heaven help us now Come crashing down And hear the sound As you fall
(Overlay of these two verses) You don’t know a thing about my sins How the misery begins You don’t know So I’m burning, I’m burning You don’t know a thing about my sins How the misery begins You don’t know So I’m burning, I’m burning, I’m burning, I’m burning And would you pray for me And make me say your name And will you lay for me And make a saint of me ‘Cause I’ll give you all the nails you need Cover me in gasoline again
Helena Long ago Just like the hearse you die to get in again We are so far from you Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate The lives of everyone you know And what's the worst you take (worst you take) from every heart you break (heart you break) And like the blade you stain (blade you stain) Well I've been holding on tonight What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Came a time When every star fall brought you to tears again We are the very hurt you sold And what's the worst you take (worst you take) from every heart you break (heart you break) And like the blade you stain (blade you stain) Well I've been holding on tonight What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight And if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Can you hear me? Are you near me? Can we pretend to leave and then We'll meet again When both our cars collide? What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight And if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight

Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough For The Two Of Us
House Of Wolves Well, I know a thing about contrition, Because I got enough to spare. And I'll be grantin' your permission, 'Cause you haven't got a prayer. Well, I said, hey, hallelujah, I'ma come on, sing the praise. Let the spirit come on through ya, We got innocence for days! Well, I think I'm gonna burn in hell, Everybody burn the house right down.

You play ring around the ambulance, And as the blood runs down the walls, Like you never gave a care. You see me creepin' up these halls. So, get the choir boys around you, I been a bad motherfucker It's a compliment, I swear. Tell your sister I'm another! And I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down, Go! Go! Go! I wanna hear you sing the praise, I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down, And I should say what I wanna say. We got innocence for days! Tell me I'm an angel, Take this to my grave.

I Never Told You What I Do For A Living Stay out of the light Or the photographs that I gave you You can say a prayer if you need to Or just get in line and I'll grieve you Can I meet you, alone Another night and I'll see you Another night and I'll be you Some other way to continue To hide my face
Another knife in my hands A stain that never comes off the sheets Clean me off I'm so dirty babe The kind of dirty where the water never cleans off the clothes I keep a book of the names and those Only goes so far 'til you bury them So deep and down we go Touched by angels, though I fall out of grace I did it all so maybe I'd live this every day Another knife in my hands A stain that never comes off the sheets Clean me off I'm so dirty babe It ain't the money and it sure as hell ain't just for the fame It's for the bodies I claim and lose Only goes so far 'til you bury them So deep and down we go Down And down we go And down we go And down we go And we all fall down I tried I tried And we'll all dance alone to the tune of your death We'll love again, we'll laugh again And it's better off this way And never again, and never again They gave us two shots to the back of the head And we're all dead now. Well never again and never again They gave us two shots to the back of the head And we're all dead now Well I tried One more night One more night well I'm laughin', cryin', laughin' I tried, well I tried, well I tried 'Cause I tried, but I lied I lied I tried I tried I tried And we'll love again and we'll laugh again We'll cry again and we'll dance again And it's better off this way So much better off this way I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed And never again, and never again They gave us two shots to the back of the head And we're all dead now
Well, if you wanted honesty that's all you had to say I never want to let you down or have you go It's better off this way For all the dirty looks The photographs your boyfriend took Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor I'm Not Okay I'm Not Okay I'm Not Okay You wear me out What will it take to show you that it's Not the life it seems (I'm Not Okay) I told you time and time again you sing the words but dunno what it means (I'm Not Okay) To be a joke and look Another line without a hook I held you close as we both shook for the last time Take a good hard look I'm Not Okay I'm Not Okay I'm Not Okay You wear me out Forget about the dirty looks The photographs your boyfriend took You said you read me like a book But the pages are all torn and frayed now I'm Okay I'm Okay! I'm Okay now (I'm Okay now) But you really need to listen to me 'Cause I'm telling the truth I mean this I'm Okay! (trust me) I'm Not Okay I'm Not Okay Well, I'm Not Okay I'm Not O-fucking-kay I'm Not Okay I'm Not Okay (Okay)
I'M NOT OKAY
Well when you go Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay And maybe when you get back I'll be off to find another way And after all this time that you still owe You're still the good-for-nothing I don’t know So take your gloves and get out Better get out While you can When you go Would you even turn to say "I don't love you Like I did Yesterday" Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading So sick and tired of all the needless beating But baby when they knock you Down and out It's where you oughta stay And after all the blood that you still owe Another dollar's just another blow So fix your eyes and get up Better get up While you can Whoa When you go Would you even turn to say "I don't love you Like I did Yesterday" Well, come on. Come on When you go Would you have the guts to say "I don't love you Like I loved you Yesterday" I don't love you Like I loved you Yesterday I don't love you Like I loved you Yesterday
I DON'T
LOVE
YOU
interlude Saints protect her now... Come angels of unknown... Come angels of unknown...
It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Deathwish For what you did to me, And what I'll do to you, You get, what everyone else gets, You get a lifetime! Let's go! Do you remember that day when we met You told me this gets harder Well it did! Been holding on forever, Promise me that when I'm gone you'll kill my enemies, The damage you've inflicted temporary wounds I'm coming back from the dead and I'll take you home with me I'm taking back the life you stole
I will avenge my ghost with every breath I take I'm coming back from the dead and I'll take you home with me I'm taking back the life you stole
We never got that far, This helps me to think all through the night Bright lights that, won't kill me now, or tell me how Just you and I, your starless eyes remain. Hip Hip Hooray for me, you talk to me, but would you kill me in my sleep Lay still like the dead From the razor to the rosary We could lose ourselves And paint these walls in pitchfork red
This hole that you put me in Wasn't deep enough And I'm climbing out right now You're running out of places to hide from me When you go Just know that I will remember you If living was the hardest part We'll then one day be together And in the end we'll fall apart Just as the leaves changing colours And then I will be with you I will be there one last time now When you go Just know that I will remember you I lost my fear of falling I will be with you I will be with you
Kill All Your Friends
Well you can hide a lot about yourself But honey what are you gonna do? And you can sleep in a coffin, But the past ain’t through with you 'Cause we are all a bunch of liars, Tell me baby who do you wanna be? And we are all about to sell it 'Cause its tragic with a capital ‘T’ Let it be, Let it be, Let it be 'Cause we all wanna party when the funeral ends (Ba ba ba ba ba baaa) And we all get together when we bury our friends (Ba ba ba, ba ba baaa) Its been 8 bitter years since I’ve been seeing your face (Ba ba ba, ba ba baaa) And you’re walking away, And I will die in this place Sometimes your scraping sinks so low, I’m shocked at what you’re capable of And if this is a coronation, I ain’t feeling the love 'Cause we’re all a bunch of animals, And never paid attention in school So tell me all about your problems, I was killing before killing was cool You’re so cool, you’re so cool, so cool
Cause we all wanna party when a funeral ends. (Ba ba ba, ba ba baaa) And we all get together when we bury our friends. (Ba ba ba, ba ba baaa) Its been 9 bitter years since I’ve been seeing your face (Ba ba ba, ba ba baaa) And you walking away and I will die in this place You’ll never take me alive, you’ll never take me alive Do what it takes to survive 'cause I’m still here You’ll never get me alive, you’ll never take me alive Do what it takes to survive and I’m still here You’ll never take me alive, you’ll never get me alive. Do what it takes to survive and I’m still here You’ll never get me (get me), you’ll never take me (take me) You'll never get me alive. 'Cause we all wanna party when the funeral ends. (Ba ba ba, ba ba baaa) And we all get together when we bury our friends. It's been 10 fucking years since I’ve been seeing your face round here, And you’re walking away and I will drown in the fear
Mama
Mama, we all go to hell. Mama, we all go to hell. I'm writing this letter and wishing you well, Mama, we all go to hell. Oh well, now, Mama, we're all gonna die. Mama, we're all gonna die. Stop asking me questions, I'd hate to see you cry, Mama, we're all gonna die. And when we go don't blame us, yeah. We'll let this fire just bathe us, yeah. You made us, oh, so famous. We’ll never let you go. And when you go don't return to me my love.
Well, Mother, what the war did to my legs and to my tongue, You should've raised a baby girl, I should've been a better son. If you could coddle the infection they can amputate at once. You should’ve been, I could've been a better son.
Mama, we're all full of lies. Mama, we're meant for the flies. And right now they're building a coffin your size, Mama, we're all full of lies.
And when we go don't blame us, yeah. We let this fire just bathe us, yeah. You made us, oh, so famous. We’ll never let you go.
Mama, we all go to hell. Mama, we all go to hell. It’s really quite pleasant except for the smell, Mama, we all go to hell. Mama, mama, mama Mama, mama, mama, And if you would call me your sweetheart, I'd maybe then sing you a song. But there's shit that I've done with this fuck of a gun You would cry out your eyes all along.
She said, "You ain't no son of mine, For what you done They're gonna find a place for you, And just you mind your manners when you go. And when you go, don't you return to me, my love.’ That's right.
We're damned after all. Through fortune and flame we fall. And if you can stay then I’ll show you the way, To return to the ashes you call. We all carry on, When our brothers in arms are gone. So raise your glass high for tomorrow we die, and return from the ashes you call.
My Way Home Is Through You Gonna take off all my skin, Tear apart all of my insides When they rifle in, Mom and Dad think you'll be saved They never had the time They're gonna medicate your lives You were always born a crime We salute you in your grave Can't find my way home But it's through you and I know What I'll do Just to get back in your arms Can't find my way home But it's through you and I know What I'll do Just to get back in your ar-ar-ar-arrr (My gun fires seven different shades of shit. So what's your favorite colour, punk?) Do you wanna hold my hand? Could you sign this photograph? 'Cause I'm your biggest fan Would you leave me lying here? We're Not here to pay a compliment And sing about the government Oxycontin genocide Adolescent suicide Give him my sincerity Don't give a fuck about a Kennedy Here's what I got to say: Can't find my way home But it's through you and I know What I'll do Just to get back in your arms Can't find my way home But it's through you and I know What I'll do Just to get back in your ar-ar-ar-arrr Can't find my way home But it's through you and I know What I'll do Just to get back in your arms Can't find my way home But it's through you and I know What I'll do Just to get back in your ar-ar-ar-arrr Can't find the way Can't find the way Can't find the way Can't find the way Can't find the way C'mon, Angel, Don't you cry C'mon, Angel, Don't you cry C'mon, Angel, Don't you cry C'mon, Angel, Don't you cry

Skylines and Turnstiles You're not in this alone Let me break this awkward silence Let me go Go on record Be the first to say I'm sorry And hear me out And if you take me down Would you lay me out? And if the world needs something better Let's give them one more reason now We walk in single file We light our rails and punch our time Ride escalators colder than a cell This broken city sky Like butane on my skin And stolen from my eyes Hello, Angel Tell me, where are you? Tell me where we go from here This broken city sky Like butane on my skin And stolen from my eyes Hello, Angel Tell me, where are you? Tell me where we go from here Tell me we go from..
Can we still reclaim our innocence? And if the world needs something better Let's give them one more reason now
And in this moment we can't close the lids On burning eyes Our memories blanket us with friends we know Like fallout vapour Steel corpses stretch out towards an ending sun Scorched and black It reaches in and tears your flesh apart As ice cold hands Rip into your heart That's if you've still got one that's left Inside that cave you call a chest And after seeing what we saw
This broken city sky Like butane on my skin And stolen from my eyes Hello, Angel Tell me, where are you? Tell me where we go from here This broken city sky Like butane on my skin And stolen from my eyes Hello, Angel Tell me, where are you? Tell me where we go from here Tell me we go from here
Sleep And it's like, it feels like somebody was gripping my, it feels like as if somebody was gripping my throat. They're worse than tremors, they're these terrors, it feels like somebody was gripping my throat and squeezing..." Some say now suffer all the children and walk away a saviour, Or a madman and polluted from gutter institutions. Don't you breathe for me, undeserving of your sympathy, Cos there ain't no way that I'm sorry for what I did. And through it all how could you cry For me? Cos I don't feel bad about it. So shut your eyes, kiss me goodbye, And sleep. Just sleep. The hardest part is letting go of your dreams. A drink for the horror that I'm in, for the good guys, And the bad guys, for the monsters that I've been. Three cheers for tyranny, unapologetic apathy, Cos there ain't no way that I'm coming back again. And through it all how could you cry For me? Cos I don't feel bad about it. So shut your eyes, kiss me goodbye, And sleep. Just sleep. The hardest part is the awful things that I've seen. "sometimes I see flames. And sometimes id see people that I love dying and... It's always" Just sleep [X6]
summertime
When the lights go out Will you take me with you? And carry all this broken bone Through six years down in crowded rooms And highways I call home Is something I can’t know till now Till you picked me off the ground With brick in hand, your lip gloss smile Your scraped up knees and And if you stay I would even wait all night Or until my heart explodes How long? Until we find our way In the dark and out of harm You can run away with me Any time you want
Terrified of what I’d be As a kid from what I’d seen Every single day When people try And put the pieces back together Just to smash them down Turn up my headphones real loud Don't think I need them now ‘Cause you stop the noise and If you stay I would even wait all night Or until my heart explodes How long? Until we find our way In the dark and out of harm You can run away with me Any time you want Don't walk away 'Cause if you stay I would even wait all night Well, or until my heart explodes How long? Until we find out way In the dark and out of harm You can run away with me You can write it on your arm You can run away with me Any time you want
They’re gonna clean up your looks, With all the lies in the books, To make a citizen out of you. Because they sleep with a gun, And keep an eye on you, son, So they can watch all the things you do. Because the drugs never work, They’re gonna give you a smirk, Cause they’ve got methods to keep you clean. They’re gonna rip up your heads, Your aspirations to shreds, Another cog in the murder machine. They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me, They could care less as long as someone’ll bleed. So darken your clothes, And strike a violent pose, Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me. The boys and girls in the clique The awful names that they stick You’re never gonna fit in much, kid. But if you’re troubled and hurt, What you got under your shirt, Will make them pay for the things that they did. They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me, They could care less as long as someone’ll bleed. So darken your clothes, And strike a violent pose, Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me. Whoa yeah! They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me, They could care less as long as someone’ll bleed. So darken your clothes, And strike a violent pose, Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me. All together now! They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me, They could care less as long as someone’ll bleed. So darken your clothes, And strike a violent pose, Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me. They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me, They could care less as long as someone’ll bleed. So darken your clothes, And strike a violent pose, Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me.

The end.
Now come one, Come all, To this tragic affair, Wipe off that make up, What's in is despair, So throw on the black dress, Mix in with the lot, You might wake up and notice you’re someone you're not, If you look in the mirror and don’t like what you see, You can find out first-hand what it’s like to be me, So gather 'round piggies and kiss this goodbye, I'd encourage your smiles, I'll expect you won't cry, Ahhhhhh! Ahhhhhh! Ahhhhhh! Ahhhhhh! Another contusion, My funeral jag, Here's my resignation, I'll serve it in drag, You've got front row seats to the penitence ball, When I grow up I want to be nothing at all! I said yeah, Yeah, I say yeah, Yeah, Come on, I say save me! (Get me the hell out of here!) Save me! (Too young to die and my dear;) You can't... (If you can hear me, just walk away) ...Save me!
The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You Gaze into her killing jar I'd sometimes stare for hours (sometimes stare for hours) She even poked the holes so I can breathe She bought the last line I'm just the worst kind Of guy to argue With what you might find And for the last night I lie Could I lie with you? Alright, Give up Get down. It's just the hardest part of living Alright She wants It all to come down this time Lost in the prescription she's got something else in mind (something else in mind) Check into the Hotel Bella Muerte It gives the weak flight It gives the blind sight Until the cops come Or by the last light And for the last night I lie Could I lie next to you? Pull the plug But I'd like to learn your name When holding on Well I hope you do the same Awww sugar Slip into this tragedy you've spun this chamber dry Pull the plug But I'd like to learn your name And holding on Well I hope you do the same Awww sugar
The Kids From Yesterday Well now this could be the last of all the rides we take So hold on tight and don't look back We don't care about the message Or the rules they make I'll find you when the sun goes black And you only live forever in the lights you make When we were young We used to say That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break Now we are the kids from yesterday All the cameras watch the accidents and stars you hate They only care if you can bleed Does the television make you feel the pills you ate? Or every person that you need to be 'Cause you only live forever in the lights you make When we were young We used to say That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break Now we are the kids from yesterday Today Today We are the kids from yesterday Today Here we are and we won't stop breathing Yell it out 'til your heart stops beating We are the kids from yesterday Today 'Cause you only live forever in the lights you make When we were young We used to say That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break Now we are the kids from yesterday We are the kids from yesterday
Remember me (x6) Where, where will you stand? When all the lights go out Across these city streets Where were you when All of the embers fell I still remember them Covered in ash, covered in glass Covered in all my friends I still think of the bombs they build If there's a place that I could be Then I'd be another memory Can I be the only hope for you Because you're the only hope for me And if we can't find where we belong We'll have to make it on our own Face all the pain and take it on Because the only hope for me Is you alone How it should be Many years after the disasters that we've seen What have we learned? Other than people burn in purifying flame Say it's okay I know you can tell Though you can see my smile I still think of the guns they sell
If there's a place that I could be Then I'd be another memory Can I be the only hope for you Because you're the only hope for me And if we can't find where we belong We'll have to make it on our own Face all the pain and take it on Because the only hope for me Is you alone The only hope for me The only hope for me Is you, the only hope for me Is you, the only hope for me Is you, the only hope for me Is you, the only hope If there's a place that I could be Then I'd be another memory Can I be the only hope for you Because you're the only hope for me And if we can't find where we belong We'll have to make it on our own Face all the pain and take it on Because the only hope for me Is you alone The only hope for me is you
The Sharpest Lives
Well it rains and it pours when you're out on your own. If I crash on the couch can I sleep in my clothes? 'Cause I've spent the night dancing, I'm drunk I suppose. If it looks like I'm laughing I'm really just asking to leave
This alone. You're in time for the show, You're the one that I need, I'm the one that you loathe. You can watch me corrode like a beast in repose, Cause I love all the poison, away with the boys in the band. I've really been on a bender and it shows, So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes? Give me a shot to remember, And you can take all the pain away from me. A kiss and I will surrender, The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead. A light to burn all the empires, So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be In love with all of these vampires, So you can leave like the sane abandoned me There's a place in the dark where the animals go, You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow. Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands, Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands Romeo. I've really been on a bender and it shows, So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes? Give me a shot to remember, And you can take all the pain away from me. A kiss and I will surrender, The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead. A light to burn all the empires, So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be In love with all of these vampires, So you can leave like the sane abandoned me
Ow! Give me a shot to remember, And you can take all the pain away from me. A kiss and I will surrender, The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead. A light to burn all the empires, So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be In love with all of these vampires, So you can leave like the sane abandoned me Ooh.
This Is How I Disappear Go! To unexplain the unforgivable, Drain all the blood and give the kids a show. By street light this dark night, A seance down below. There's things that I have done, you never, Should ever know. And without you is how I disappear, And live my life alone forever now. And without you is how I disappear, And live my life alone forever now.
Who walks among the famous living dead, Drowns all the boys and girls inside your bed. And if you could talk to me, Tell me if it's so, That all good girls go to heaven. Well, heaven knows, That without you is how I disappear. And live my life alone forever now. And without you is how I disappear, And live my life alone forever now. Can you hear me cry out to you? Words I thought I'd choke on figure out. I'm really not so with you any more. I'm just a ghost, so I can't hurt you any more, So I can't hurt you any more. And now You wanna see how far down I can sink? Let me out! So you can Well now so you can I'm so far away from you Well now so you can And without you is how I disappear, And without you is how I disappear, Forever Forever now
And we can run From the backdrop of these gears and scalpels. At every hour Goes the tick tock bang of monitors as They stared us down When we met in the emergency room And in our beds I could hear you breath with help from cold machines Every hour On the hour They drew blood Well I felt I couldn't take Another day inside this place From silent dreams we never wake And in this promise that we'll make Starless eyes for Heaven's sake But I hear you anyway Well I thought I heard you say I like you We can get out We don't have to stay Stay inside this place Someday This day We kept falling down Someday This day Set the ferris wheel ablaze You left My heart And open wound And I love you for This day Someday We kept falling down Someday This day All we had to keep us safe And if We never sleep again It would never end Well I thought I Heard you say to me We'll go So far Far as we can And I just can't stay One day we'll run away
To The End He calls the mansion not a house but a tomb He's always choking from the stench and the fume The wedding party all collapsed in the room So send my resignation to the bride and the groom Let's go down! This elevator only goes up to ten He's not around He's always looking at men Down by the pool He doesn't have many friends As they are Face down and bloated snap a shot with the lens If you marry me Would you bury me? Would you carry me to the end? (So say goodbye) to the vows you take (And say goodbye) to the life you make (And say goodbye) to the heart you break And all the cyanide you drank She keeps a picture of the body she lends Got nasty blisters from the money she spends She's got a life of her own and it shows by the Benz She drives at 90 by the Barbies and Kens If you ever say never too late I'll forget all the diamonds you ate Lost in coma and covered in cake Increase the medication Share the vows at the wake (Kiss the bride)
If you marry me Would you bury me? Would you carry me to the end? (So say goodbye) to the vows you take (And say goodbye) to the life you make (And say goodbye) to the heart you break And all the cyanide you drank (And say goodbye) to the last parade (And walk away) from the choice you made (And say goodnight) to the hearts you break And all the cyanide you drank (So say goodbye) to the vows you take (And say goodbye) to the life you make (And say goodbye) to the hearts you break And all the cyanide you drank (And say goodbye) to the last parade (And walk away) from the choice you made (And say goodnight) to the hearts you break And all the cyanide you drank To the last parade When the parties fade And the choice you made To the End

Vampires Will Never Hurt And if they get me and the sun goes down into the ground And if they get me take this spike to my heart and.. And if they get me and the sun goes down And if they get me take this spike and.. You put the spike in my heart
And if the sun comes up will it tear the skin right off our bones? And then as razor sharp white teeth rip out our necks. I saw you there Someone get me to the doctor, someone get me to a church Where they can pump this venom gaping hole And you must keep your soul like a secret in your throat And if they come and get me.. And if, You put the spike in my heart And if they get me and the sun goes down And if they get me take this spike and.. (come on) Can you take this spike? Will it fill our hearts with thoughts of endless Night time sky? Can you take this spike? Will it wash away this jet black feeling? And now the night comes Sets the stage for this, they come in pairs She said We'll shoot back holy water like cheap whiskey They're always there Someone get me to the doctor, and someone call the nurse And someone buy me roses, and someone burned the church We're hanging out with corpses, we're driving in this hearse And someone save my soul tonight, please save my soul And as these days watch over time And as these days watch over time And as these days watch over us tonight I'll never let them, I'll never let them I'll never let them hurt you now tonight I'll never let them, I can't forget them I'll never let them hurt you, I promise Struck down, before our prime Before, you got off the floor Can you stake my heart? Can you stake my heart? Can you stake me before the sun goes down?
When I was, A young boy, My father, took me into the city To see a marching band He said, "Son when you grow up, will you be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned?" He said, "Will you defeat them, your demons, and all the non-believers, the plans that they have made? Because one day, I'll leave you, The disappointed faces of your peers a phantom, to lead you in the summer, to join Oh oh oh the black parade." Take a look at me 'cause I could not care at all Do or die When I was, You’ll never make me A young boy Because the world will never take my (heart) My father, took me into the city Go and try; you’ll never break me To see a marching band We want it all, we want to play this (part) He said, "Son when you grow up, will you be I won’t explain, or say I’m sorry the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the I’m unashamed, I’m gonna show my (scar) damned?" Give a cheer, for all the broken Listen here, because it’s who we are Sometimes I get the feeling, she's watching I'm just a man; I'm not a hero over me Just a boy, whose meant to sing this (song) And other times I feel like I should go I'm just a man; I'm not a hero And through it all, the rise and fall I The bodies in the street Don't And when you're gone we want you all to Care know We'll carry on We'll carry on, We'll carry on We'll carry on And though you're dead and gone believe And though you're dead and gone believe me me Your memory will carry on Your memory will carry on We'll carry on We'll carry on And though your broken and defeated Until my heart I can't contain it Your weary widow marches on The anthem won't explain it Do or die You’ll never make me A world that sends you reeling from Because the world will never take my (heart) decimated dreams Go and try; you’ll never break me You're misery and hate will kill us all We want it all, we want to play this (part) So paint it black and take it back I won’t explain, or say I’m sorry Lets shout it loud and clear I’m unashamed, I’m gonna show my (scar) Defiant to the end we hear the call Give a cheer, for all the broken To carry on Listen here, because it’s who we are I'm just a man; I'm not a hero We'll carry on, Just a boy, who had to sing this (song) And though your dead and gone believe me I'm just a man; I'm not a hero) Your memory will carry on We'll carry on We'll carry on We'll carry on And though your broken and defeated We'll carry on Your weary widow marches on We'll carry on And on we carry through the fears We'll carry on Oh oh oh
Welcome to the black parade
You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison In the middle of a gun fight.. In the centre of a restaurant.. They say, "Come with your arms raised high!" Well, they're never gonna get me And like a bullet through a flock of doves.. To wage this war against your faith in me Your life...will never be the same On your mother's eyes, say a prayer.. say a prayer! Now, but I can't And I don't know How we're just two men as God had made us Well, I can't.. well, I can! Too much, too late, or just not enough of this Pain in my heart for your dying wish I'll kiss your lips again They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost My cell mate's a killer, they made me do push-ups (in drag) But nobody cares if you're losing yourself.. am I losing myself?! Well, I miss my mom Will they give me the chair Or lethal injection, or swing from a rope if you dare Ah, nobody knows.. all the trouble I've seen! To your room.. What they ask of you Will make you want to say, "So long.." Well, I don't remember Why remember.. YOU?! Do you have the keys to the hotel?! ''Cause I'm gonna set the motherfucker on fire! (FIRE!!) Life is but a dream for the dead And well I, I won't go down by myself But I'll go down with my friends Now now now now.. now now now.. now now now!
Desolation Row
(originally by Bob Dylan)
They’re selling postcards of the hanging Well, they’re painting the passports brown And the beauty parlour's filled with sailors The circus is in town Oh now look here comes the blind commissioner Well, they’ve got him in a trance One hand is tied to the tightrope walker The other’s in his pants And the riot squad they’re restless They need somewhere to go As Lady and I look out tonight From Desolation Row Oh Cinderella, she seems so easy “Well, it takes one to know one,” she smiles And she puts her hands in her back pockets Oh Bette Davis style And now but here comes Romeo, moaning
“You Belong to Me I Believe” And then someone says,”You’re in the wrong place, my friend You better leave” And then the only sound that’s left After the ambulances go Is Cinderella sweeping up On Desolation Row Yeah Now at midnight all the agents And superhuman crew Go out and round up everyone That knows more than they do (knows more than they do) They’re gonna bring them to the factory Where the heart-attack machine Is strapped across their shoulders And then the kerosene Is brought down from the castles By insurance men who go Check to see that no one is escaping To Desolation Row ‘Cause right now I can’t read too good Don’t send me no letters no Not unless you’re gonna mail them From Desolation Row
Jack The Ripper (originally by Morrissey)

Under Pressure With The Used Originally by Queen/David Bowie
Pressure!
It's the terror of knowing What this world is about Watching some good friends Scream "Let me out!" Pray tomorrow takes me higher (higher)
Pushing down on me Pressing down on you no man ask for Under pressure That burns a building down Splits a family in two Puts people on streets
Yeah! Turned away from it all Like a blind man Sat on a fence but it don't work Keep coming up with love But it's so slashed and torn
Bah bah dah bah bah dah (Yeah) (Yeah) That's okay! It's the terror of knowing What this world is about Watching some good friends Scream "Let me out!" Pray tomorrow takes me higher Pressure on people People on streets Bah bah dah bah bah dah Okay!
Why? Why? Why? Love (love)! Love (love)! Love (love)! Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking Can't we give ourselves one more chance? Why can't we give love that one more chance? Why can't we give love give love give love? Give love give love give love give love give love?
Chippin' around Kick my brains round the floor These are the days It never rains but it pours Bah bah dah bah bah dah People on streets bah dah dee da day People on streets bah dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah
Cause love's such an old fashioned word And love dares you to care For the people on the edge of the night And love dares you to change our ways Of caring about ourselves This is our last dance This is our last dance This is ourselves under pressure Under pressure Under pressure
