I’ve loved everything about you that hurst,
So let me see your moves,
Let me see your moves,
Lips pressed this close to mine
True Blue, but the prince of this failing empire knows that
Everybody wants
Everybody wants to drive on through the night,
If it’s the drive back home

[Chorus:]
Things aren’t the same anymore,
Sometimes it gets so bad that I almost pick up the phone
Trade Baby Blues, for Wide-Eyed Browns
I sleep in your old shirts
And walk through this house in your shoes
I know its strange
It’s a strange way of saying that i know I’m supposed to love you
I’m supposed to love you

I’ve already given up on myself once
But the third time’s the charm,
Third time is the charm
Throw caution to the wind,
But I’ve got a lousy arm,
And I’ve traced your shadows on the wall
Now I kiss them whenever I’m down,
Whenever I’m down
Just kind of figured on
Not figuring myself out

[Chorus]

I was born under a bad sign,
But you saved my life
That night on the roof of your hotel
“Cross my heart and hope to die,
Splinter from the headboard in my eye”
Photo-proofed kisses I remember so well

[Chorus]

‘I just want to be better than your head’s only medicine’
A downward spiral just a pirouette
Getting worse til there’s nothing left
What good comes of something when I’m just the ghost of nothing?
‘I’m just the man on the balcony singing’:
“Nobody will ever remember me,”
Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your knees
(for a)
Lunatic of a god or a god of a lunatic?
Oh, their faces are dancing
They’re dancing til
Til they can’t stand it
A composer but never composed
Singing the symphonies of the overdosed
A composer but never composed
‘Singing’:
“I only want what I can’t have”
‘Heralded as a king before I had a birthday
With double digits
Fit the crown to my head but I was only a kid’
‘I’m just the man on the balcony singing’:
“Nobody will ever remember me,”
Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your knees
(for a)
Lunatic of a god or a god of a lunatic?
Oh, their faces are dancing
They’re dancing til
Til they can’t stand it
A composer but never composed
Singing the symphonies of the overdosed
A composer but never composed
‘Singing’:
“I only want what I can’t have”
‘I just want to be better than your head’s only medicine’
‘I’m just the man on the balcony singing’:
“Nobody will ever remember me,”
Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your knees
(for a)
Lunatic of a god or a god of a lunatic?
Oh, their faces are dancing
They’re dancing til
Til they can’t stand it
A composer but never composed
Singing the symphonies of the overdosed
A composer but never composed
‘Singing’
“I only want what I can’t have”

This might just be a waste of time
but theres no one i’d rather
waste my time with than all my best friends
to stop this horror

we’ll all take turns not for the worst
we’re all has-beens and never-weres
we’re all in the back singing roxanne
just once in my passersby (passersby)

as if we had enough to try to kiss her
enough to make up for lost time
enough to make up for lost time

we been down, we been out, we been hanging round.
we been to the no time left in the game.
stop moving, get me out of this one horse town.
wasted star

whoo
we been down, we been out, we been hanging round.
we been to the no time left in the game.
stop moving, get me out of this one horse town.
wasted star, wasted star

[Chorus]
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don’t matter no
‘Cause I got you babe
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don’t matter no
‘Cause I got you babe
‘Cause we gonna fight
Oh yes we gonna fight
Believe we gonna fight
We gonna fight
Fight for our right to love yeah
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don’t matter no
‘Cause I got you

Nobody wanna see us together
Nobody thought we’d last forever
I feel ‘em hopin’ and prayin’
Things between us don’t get better
Men steady comin’ after you
Women steady comin’ after me
Seem like everybody wanna go for self
And don’t wanna respect boundaries
Tellin’ you all those lies
Just to get on your side
But I must admit there was a couple secrets
I held inside
But just know that I tried
To always apologize
And I’ma have you first always in my heart
To keep you satisfied

Nobody wanna see us together
But it don’t matter no
‘Cause I got you babe
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don’t matter no
‘Cause I got you babe
‘Cause we gonna fight
Oh yes we gonna fight
Believe we gonna fight
We gonna fight
Fight for our right to love yeah
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don’t matter no
‘Cause I got you

Lights in small England,
Paris, Tokyo, New New New York, M-M-M-M-Mexico
It’s plastic (woah oh)
Stay tragic (woah oh)

Proclamation of emancipation oh dear Lord,
please let me into heaven, for just an afternoon.

No, Sam I am,
I can’t go to sleep without an ambien
Seen so high they call me mister goodbye
Saying catch me if you can (catch), catch me if you can.

No, Sam I am,
I can’t go to sleep without an ambien
Seen so high they call me mister goodbye
Saying catch me if you can (catch), catch me if you can.

Let’s talk about the scene for a minute
I know we ain’t been seen in a minute
We left before a minute now we all up in it
Baby boy if you got the big dreams go and get it
Never been the type in tight jeans i won’t fit in
When I see them scene girls that they all gonna get in
And I’m living clean now while you all walk in it
No it’s me but I don’t give a damn if you all don’t get it
So fresh and so clean in my Eugene fitted
While I’m laughing at the baby, y’all crying at the clinic
I read a couple blogs and they had my ass livid
But now I got my own, the world gotta live with it
Never played basketball, but I could show you how to pivot
Making moves in that black hatchback Honda Civic
Like I did in highschool, wish that I could relive it
But I can’t so let’s go on and get the hook and revisit.

No, Sam I am,
I can’t go to sleep without an ambien
Seen so high they call me mister goodbye
Saying catch me if you can (catch), catch me if you can

No, Sam I am,
I can’t go to sleep without an ambien
Seen so high they call me mister goodbye
Saying catch me if you can (catch), catch me if you can (catch)

Do you have the time
to listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once?
I am one of those melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone no doubt about it

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I’m cracking up!
Am I just paranoid
I’m just stoned!

I went to a shrink to analyze my dreams
She said it’s lack of sex that’s bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life’s a bore
So quit whining cuz it’s bringing her down

[Chorus]

Gasping to control
So I better hold on

[Chorus]

We’re pretty boys
For secret girls
Who never stood a chance in the world
I’m not ready for sincerity
I’d tell any lie to keep you listening

I gave you pretentious.
I gave you indifference, but you only wanted undressed and defenseless.
With all your cheap words about hearts and accidents

Sincerity’s in
So make it sound like you mean it
Hold back your breath
In a year no one will even care.

Sincerity’s in
So make it sound like you mean it
Hold back your breath
In a year

Everyone loves an underdog that’s why you’re all singing along.

With all your cheap words
Who are you kidding?
We’re pretty boys
For secret girls
Who are you kidding?

Sincerity’s in
So make it sound like you mean it
Hold back your breath
In a year no one will even care.

Sincerity’s in
So make it sound like you mean it
Hold back your breath
In a year

(Hey! Everyone loves an underdog that’s why you’re all singing along.)
(Hey! Everyone loves an underdog that’s why you’re all singing along.)

When the hook sets in
And this all ends.
I’ll wish it never began,
Oh I will die without all the attention.

When the hook sets in
And this all ends.
I’ll wish it never began,
Oh I will die without all the attention.

Sincerity’s in
So make it sound like you mean it
Hold back your breath
In a year no one will even care.

Sincerity’s in
So make it sound like you mean it
Hold back your breath
In a year

Just another one champion sound
We about to get down
Who the hottest in the world right now.
Just touched down in London town.
Bet they give me a pound.
Tell them put the money in my hand right now.
Tell the promoter we need more seats,
We just sold out all the floor seats

Take me on a trip, I’d like to go some day.
Take me to New York, I’d love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You’ll be my American Boy

Clap until you hands hurt,
standing ovations or boos
watch us until we blur,
walk off into the sunset
Tell Rock’n'Roll I’m alone again
I want to bring the mid west home again
Your time has passed they say never means never
So the fast dance won’t last

Clap until you hands hurt,
standing ovations or boos
watch us until we blur
walk off into the sunset
Tell Rock’n'Roll I’m alone again
I want to bring the mid west home again
Your time has passed they say never means never
So the fast dance won’t last, but never means forever
Never means forever

ALPHAdog and oh, oh, OMEGAlomaniac
ALPHAdog and oh, oh, OMEGA-MEGA-lo
Welcome to the new administration
I can almost see the wizard through the curtains
ALPHAdog and oh, oh, OMEGAlomaniac

Clap until your hands hurt,
standing ovations or boo-boo-boos
Wa-wa-watch us until we blur,
Walk off into the sunset
Tell Rock’n'Roll I’m alone again
I wanna put the midwest home again
Your time has passed
They say never means never
So the fast dance won’t last,
But never means forever
Never means forever

ALPHAdog and oh, oh OMEGAlomaniac
Eh, eh, eh-eh, eh, eh
ALPHAdog and oh oh OMEGA-MEGA-lo
Welcome to the new deja vu
I can almost see the wizard through the curtains
ALPHAdog and oh, oh OMEGAlomaniac

We must have the best coach
Tell the best jokes
We must make it hard to
look so easy doing something so hard
Like you must see my way
they scream when they look at me
I’m a, I’m a star
I’m a, I’m a star
I’m a star, Ohh, I’m a star

ALPHAdog and oh, OMEGAlomaniac
Eh, eh, eh-eh, eh, eh
ALPHAdog and oh OMEGA-MEGA-lo
Welcome to the new deja vu
I can almost see the wizard through the curtains
ALPHAdog and oh, OMEGAlomaniac

You’re not the first
Or the last but you’re possibly the prettiest
Whoa

He’s a fighter past his prime
He’s in the gutter waving his hand
I’m just fine

You’re not the first
Or the last but you’re possibly the prettiest
Whoa

He’s a fighter past his prime
He’s in the gutter waving his hand

ALPHAdog and oh, oh OMEGAlomaniac
Eh, eh, eh-eh, eh, eh
ALPHAdog and oh, oh OMEGA-MEGA-lo
Welcome to the new deja vu
I can almost see the wizard through the curtains
ALPHAdog and oh, oh OMEGAlomaniac

(whoaa, ohh, whoaa)
[Whispered:] Abracadabra
(whoaa, ohh, whoaa)
