Roxanne
You don’t have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don’t have to sell your body to the night

Roxanne
You don’t have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don’t care if it’s wrong or if it’s right

Roxanne
You don’t have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don’t have to put on the red light

(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light

I loved you since I knew you
I wouldn’t talk down to you
I have you to tell just how I feel
I won’t share you with another boy

I know my mind is made up (oh)
So put away your make up
Told you once I won’t tell you again
It’s a bad way

Roxanne
You don’t have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don’t have to put on the red light

(Roxanne) You don’t have to put on the red light
(Roxanne) You don’t have to put on the red light
(Roxanne) You don’t have to put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) You don’t have to put on the red light

Put on the red light
Put on the red light
You don’t have to put on the red light
Put on the red light
Put on the red light
Put on the red light
Put on the red light

(Roxanne)
Put on the red light
You don’t have to put on the red light
You don’t have to put on the red light
Put on the red light

Something make my chest stir
Something make my head blur

I’m not ready for a handshake with death, no

I’m just such a happy mess

The drums are four-on-the-floor
she’s back to the bathroom floor, once more

I’m the invisible man
Who can’t stop staring at the mirror, at the mirror

I want to make you as lonely as me
So you can get, get addicted to this,
You can get, get addicted to this now

it’s three drinks too late to talk to anyone but myself
its a three and two pitch to walk to anywhere, Else… No.

The drums are four-on-the-floor
she’s back to the bathroom floor, once more

I’m the invisible man
Who can’t stop staring at the mirror, at the mirror

I want to make you as lonely as me
So you can get, get addicted to this,
You can get, get addicted to this now

I’m the invisible man
Who can’t stop staring at the mirror, at the mirror

I want to make you as lonely as me
So you can get, get addicted to this
You can get, get addicted to this now

I’m the invisible man (I’m the invisible man)
I’m the invisible man (I’m the invisible man)
I want to make you as lonely as me,
Cause I’m the invisible man

I’m the invisible man

We sold our souls in dark hotel rooms
We slip tongues and lie like “I will see you soon’s”
Two explorers in dark making maps and drawing shots
Put the world on notice I’m ruined and I know it
We threw the game from the start
I’m desperate and devoted the secret no one told us

My songs know what you did in the dark. [repeats]
My songs know what you did in the dark
My songs know what you did in the dark

We sold our souls in dark hotel rooms
We slip tongues and lie like “I will see you soon’s”
Two explorers in dark making maps and drawing shots
Put the world on notice I’m ruined and I know it
We threw the game from the start
I’m desperate and devoted the secret no one told us

My songs know what you did in the dark. [repeats]

Honey is for bees, silly bear
Besides, there’s jelly beans everywhere
It’s not what it seems in the land of dreams
Don’t worry your head just go to sleep

It doesn’t matter how you feel
Life is just a Ferris wheel
It’s always up and down
Don’t make a sound

When you wake up the world will come around
When you wake up the world will come around

Its just the sweet weather and the peacock feathers
In the morning, it will all be better
It’s not what it seems in the land of dreams
Don’t worry your head just go to sleep

When you wake up the world will come around
When you wake up the world will come around

Honey is for bees, silly bear
Besides there’s jelly beans everywhere
It’s not what it seems in the land of dreams
Don’t worry your head just go to sleep

I’m not loving you, the way I wanted to
What I had to do, had to run from you
I’m in love with you, but the vibe is wrong
And that haunted me, all the way home
So ya never know, never never know
Never know enough, til its over love
Til we lose control, system overload
Screaming no no no, no no
I ain’t loving you, the way I wanted to
See I wanna move, but cant escape from you
So I keep it low, keep a secret code
So everybody else don’t have to know

So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
You keep ya love locked down, you lose

I’m not loving you, the way I wanted to
I cant keep my cool, so I keep it true
I got something to lose, so I gotta move
I cant keep myself, and still keep you too
So I keep in mind, when I’m on my own
Somewhere far from home, In the danger zone
How many times did it take til I finally got through
you lose, you lose
I ain’t loving you, the way I wanted to
See I had to go, see I had to go
No more wasting time, we cant wait for life
which is wasting time, wheres the finish line

So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
You keep ya love locked down, you lose

I’m not loving you, the way I wanted to
I met no one new, I got no one new
No I said I’m through, but got love for you
But i’m not loving you, the way I wanted to
Gotta keep it going, keep the loving going
Keep it on a roll, only god knows
Am I into you, baby I’m confused
You choose, you choose
I ain’t loving you, the way I wanted to
Way I got to go, I don’t need you
I been on this road, too many times before
I ain’t loving you, the way I wanted to

So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Keeping ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Keeping ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Keeping ya love locked down, you lose
So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Keeping ya love locked down, ya love locked down
If you keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Keeping ya love locked down, you lose

I’ve been really tryin’, baby
Tryin’ to hold back this feeling for so long
And if you feel like I feel, baby
Then, c’mon, oh, c’mon
Let’s get it on
Ah, baby, let’s get it on
Let’s love, baby
Let’s get it on, sugar
Let’s get it on
We’re all sensitive people
With so much to give
Understand me, sugar
Since we’ve to be here
Let’s live
I love you
There’s nothing wrong with me
Loving you, baby no no
And giving yourself to me can never be wrong
If the love is true
Don’t you know how sweet and wonderful life can be
I’m asking you baby to get it on with me
I ain’t gonna worry
I ain’t gonna push, won’t push you baby
So c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, baby
Stop beatin’ ’round the bush
Let’s get it on
Let’s get it on
You know what I’m talkin’ ’bout
C’mon, baby
Let your love come out
If you believe in love
Let’s get it on
Let’s get it on, baby
This minute, oh yeah

You don’t have to worry that it’s wrong
If the spirit moves ya
Let me groove ya good
Let your come down
Oh, get it on
C’mon, baby
Do you know the meaning?
I’ve been sanctified
Girl, you give me good feeling

Sometimes when I’m in heaven
I get the kid full lovelier
Until I end big, like real-life poison bloods
The heat is on
Speak soft when the seat is down

I got a pocket full of deadliness
Opium den mother, forget my head
At the dead-end of unsteadiness
Box blondes have less fun

Boomerang my head
Back to the city I grew up in
Again and again and again
Forever a lake effect kid

I got the skyline in my veins
Forget your night times
Summer love on a gurney with a squeaky wheel
And joke us, joke us
‘Til \”Lake Shore Drive\” comes back into focus
I just want to come back to lying sparks into your ear
to keep you warm and mine

I got a pocket full of deadliness
Opium den mother, forget my head
At the dead-end of unsteadiness
Box blondes have less fun, fun

Boomerang my head
Back to the city I grew up in
Again and again
Forever a lake effect kid

Boomerang my head
Back to the city I grew up in
Again and again and again
Forever a lake effect kid

Boomerang my head
Back to the city I grew up in
Again and again and again
Forever a lake effect kid

Boomerang my head
Back to the city I grew up in
Again and again and again
Forever a lake effect kid

I speak fast and I’m not gonna repeat myself
So listen carefully to every word I say:
“I’m the only one who’s gonna get away with making excuses today,

You’re appealing to emotions that I simply do not have”
Blackmailed myself
Cause I ain’t got anyone else
“This is a stick up
Give us all your..”
I’ve got the red carpet blues baby

“Put your hands in the air and don’t make a sound
But don’t get the wrong idea
We’re gonna shoot you
We’re gonna shoot you
And there’s nothing in your head or pocket, throat or wallet
That could change just how this goes
No
We’re gonna shoot you
We’re gonna shoot you”

When I said that I’d return to you I meant more like a relapse
Now again I think “His and her’s” “For better or worse”
But the only ring I want buried with me are the ones around my eyes

“You’re appealing to emotions that I simply do not have”
I’ve got the red carpet blues baby

“Put your hands in the air and don’t make a sound
But don’t get the wrong idea
We’re gonna shoot you
We’re gonna shoot you
And there’s nothing in your head or pocket, throat or wallet
That could change just how this goes”
And everyone shakes to the beat with a barrel down their throat

Oh,
Well imagine,
As I’m pacing the pews in a church corridor,
And I can’t help but to hear,
No, I can’t help but to hear an exchanging of words:

“What a beautiful wedding! What a beautiful wedding,” says a bridesmaid to the waiter,
“And, yes, but what a shame, what a shame the poor groom’s bride is a whore.”

I chime in with a,
“Haven’t you people ever heard of closing the Goddamn door?!”
No, it’s much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality.
I chime in,
“Haven’t you people ever heard of closing the Goddamn door?!”
No, it’s much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of…

Oh, Well in fact,
Well I’ll look at this way,
I mean technically our marriage is saved,
Well this calls for,
A toast so,
Pour the champagne.

Oh! Well in fact,
Well I’ll look at it this way,
I mean technically our marriage is saved,
Well this calls for a toast,
So pour the champagne, pour the champagne!

I chime in with a,
“Haven’t you people ever heard of closing the Goddamn door?!”
No, it’s much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality.
I chime in,
“Haven’t you people ever heard of closing the Goddamn door?!”
No, it’s much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of
Poise and Rationality!

I chime in,
“Haven’t you people ever heard of closing the Goddamn door?!”
No, it’s much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality.
I chime in,
“Haven’t you people ever heard of closing the Goddamn door?!”
No, it’s much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of
Poise and Rationality! Again…

Been gone more days this year than I have been home
Trading friends for trips to the coast
This hotel room feels more like a tomb

Been gone more days this year than I have been home

It’s not gossip if it’s the truth
I’m sick of always writing songs for you to slit your wrists to

So which is it: the boy who writes the songs or the boy who’s in them?
Who’s the girl? Is this truth or is he writing fiction?

Hand over my heart, gun to my head
I swear to God I’m through with this
I am the worst liar I know

It’s not gossip if it’s the truth
I’m sick of always writing songs for you to slit your wrists to

So which is it: the boy who writes the songs or the boy who’s in them?
Who’s the girl? Is this truth or is he writing fiction?
