Velvet Revolver Lyrics - Gas And A Dollar Laugh

Velvet Revolver Lyrics
Album: Libertad (2007)

"Gas And A Dollar Laugh"

They lost imagination
Designer institution
The...revolution
Don't see no resolution

They got their arms around hers
We got our arms around it
They barely got each other
Dance
Dance
Dance little hooker shake it
Dance, or you will be branded

You're the one that is so mistaken
You're a gas and a dollar laugh
You're a gas and a dollar laugh

She's alright
It's automatic tonight
Yeah it's alright

Self exposed hunger strike
Just hold tight you'll see the sun and you'll feel alive
She's alright
Lost in a world she holds tonight

Dance
Dance little hooker shake it
Dance, or you will be banded
You're the one that is so mistaken
You're a gas and a dollar laugh
You're a gas and a dollar laugh

Velvet Revolver Lyrics - Psycho Killer

Velvet Revolver Lyrics
Album: Libertad (2007)

"Psycho Killer"

[Talking Heads' Cover]

I can’t seem to face up to the facts
I’m tense and nervous and I can’t relax
I can’t sleep because my bed’s on fire
Don’t touch me I’m a real live wire.

Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

You start a conversation you can't even finish it.
You're talkin' a lot, but you're not sayin' anything.
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.
Say something once, why say it again?

Psycho Killer,
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

Ce que j'ai fait, ce soir-là
Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir-là
Réalisant mon espoir
Je me lance vers la gloire ... OK
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they're not polite

Psycho Killer,
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer,
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh....

Velvet Revolver Lyrics - Messages

Velvet Revolver Lyrics
Album: Libertad (2007)

"Messages"

Honey so long, nice to see you
Won't be long before I come back home
When the plane lands, will you reach me
Will you call me on the telephone

Tell my son I wish I never yelled at him yesterday cause everything's changed
Radar signal seeking you, but finding nothing at all, hey --
Blow the horn and call the cavalry there's something happening, hey --

Goodbye mother, tell my daughter
Have to leave get off the telephone
There's a problem, sinking feeling
Hero's dying, plastic armor on

Tell my son I wish I never yelled at him yesterday cause everything's changed
And you, you gave me all you had, hey --
I hope someday you will be happy, without me

Lost in a world thats quickly going mad
A human missile streaking to the ground
Angels and the demons fight to save the lives
While all the others cry

As for you, you made my life worth living, hey --
I pray one day you will be happy, without me

Goodbye
Goodbye.

Velvet Revolver Lyrics - Don't Drop That Dime

Velvet Revolver Lyrics
Album: Libertad (2007)

"Don't Drop That Dime"

As soon as I walk in the front door you’re drunk on the wine
You’re the craziest bitch ill ever find
Like I said ill walk in the front door
Sometimes she chased me out through the other door

Don’t start that shit tonight
The police and that kind
And when I lay there and I dream
Its all their faces that I see

Don’t drop that dime
Don’t drop that dime

Sweet Caroline oh mine don’t drop that dime on me tonight
It all begin with that old sinking feeling
Then we start drinking rye
I could smell the crazy coming out in that hard rain tonight

Like I said I'll walk through the front door
Another woman she was parked at the back door
Ill get busted, yea ill probably get busted once or twice before yea
And when I lay there and I dream
Its all there faces that I see

Don’t drop that dime
Don’t drop that dime
Sweet Caroline oh mine don’t drop that dime on me tonight
Oh the pain so sweet

Oh the game so mean
I caught your lie
I drove all night
You cherish whispers while I sleep
Don’t drop that dime
Don’t drop that dime
Sweet girl oh mine don’t draw that gun on me tonight
Don’t drop that dime
Don’t drop that dime
Don’t shoot that gun o mine don’t shoot that gun at me tonight
Don’t drop that dime
Don’t drop that dime
Don’t shoot that gun o mine don’t shoot that gun at me tonight
Yoodle
Whatever

Velvet Revolver Lyrics - Gravedancer

Velvet Revolver Lyrics
Album: Libertad (2007)

"Gravedancer"

She's all that I see
And all that I breathe
Take a breath and hold her in
As her shadow's whispering
I can hear the laughter
Knowing what they're after
While she flies beside me
On many broken wings

[Chorus]
Take, take a look around
She's a pretty good dancer
She dances on my grave
Everytime it goes down
Everytime she comes down
Everytime we fall down
She dances all over me

She's the world at my feet
The sun that gives heat
Take a rest and hold her near
Or she'll float away from here
Cause I'm knowing what you fearing
And a sentimental jury
And every mile that guides you
I'll watch over everything

[Chorus]

And everytime that we feel it
It's just another long wasted night
And the dance that we tear
Is just another way for you to roll over me
And the bed that we're sharing
Is the home that I wanna bring you
Want to feel you
I don't want to hear you

[Chorus]

She dances all over me
She dances all over me
She's a pretty good dancer
Take, take, take a look around
She's a pretty good dancer
Everytime she comes down

Velvet Revolver Lyrics - Spay

Velvet Revolver Lyrics
Album: Libertad (2007)

"Spay"

Wasted all all a disgrace
Rearranged the pretty messes
Pray on your abandoned knee
To fucked up pleasures
To the kids with king of rights
Underneath the night tonight
You would rather spite your face
Than change your life

[Chorus x2]
Spay
Why won't you
Why won't you
Why won't you
Spay yourself

Blitzkrieg the bitches bald
May the trophy sell the gold
Pay the toll or sell your soul
Come on come all
When the bill is on collections
Pepper holes and ugly messes
The singer sings of diamond things
And all excesses

[Chorus x2]

There is a love that doesn't lease
Through the night
Heed all your baggage
And consume all your life

[Chorus x2]

Velvet Revolver Lyrics - For A Brother

Velvet Revolver Lyrics
Album: Libertad (2007)

"For A Brother"

Can't rise from the bottom
Time flies when ya got it
Your time has receded
Wasted
Could and should have been
And didn't

[Chorus]
I've given up my hand for a brother
Given up a hand for free
I've risen and forgiven and I've pardoned
But you set yourself free

Nose dive, crash to the bottom
Angel, your wing was always broken
Fought for rights of the prophets
Not for the spirits of your daughters
Didn't

[Chorus]

Walk slowly
Seems like time has stopped
Seems like I'm slow dancing
But I'm flying
Where do I go?
The home I know is closed
I'm free, free yeah
I'm free, free, yeah
Free, free, yeah

I've bitten off my hand for a brother
Given up a hand for free
I've risen and forgiven and I've pardoned
But you set yourself free

Bitten off my hand for the stuff
And livin' off the shit you steal
You perished for religious and forgotten
daughters that you couldn't see

Given up my hand (You set yourself free)
Given up my hand for free
Given up my hand (You set yourself free)
But you set yourself free

Velvet Revolver Lyrics - Can't Get It Out Of My Head

Velvet Revolver Lyrics
Album: Libertad (2007)

"Can't Get It Out Of My Head"

[ELO Cover]

Midnight on the water
I saw the ocean's daughter
Walkin' through the burnin' rain
Hopin' just to know her name

[Chorus]
And I cant get it out of my head
No, I cant get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
Cause I cant get it out of my head

Breakdown on the shore line
Can't move, I've been paralyzed
Morning don't get here till night
Searching for her silver light

[Chorus]

Out of my head

Bank job in the city
Robin Hood and William tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot
They don't envy me
Sitting still I want to drown
In my dreams the world keep going round and round

[Chorus x2]

Velvet Revolver Lyrics - Just Sixteen

Velvet Revolver Lyrics
Album: Libertad (2007)

"Just Sixteen"

At school the teacher saw
The talent in your eyes
So pleased to meet ya
She looks so pretty, so unsatisfied
Underneath the bleachers
The kid and Mrs. Jones
She's his favorite teacher
Consider it love 101

[Chorus]
We ain't got nothin' to hide, hide
We ain't got nothin' to hide, hide, hide
We ain't got nothin' to hide, hide
We ain't got nothin' nothing nothing to hide.
Oh you say it's wrong you say what you do, you do, you do
Oh you say we're wrong you say what we do, we do, we do
Oh you say it's wrong you say what you do, you do, you do
Oh you say we're wrong you say what we do, we do, we do wrong

What we do wrong

Rollin' in the street lights,
In his old man's ride
Head in his lap goin' up and down up and down
Oh no, cop lights
Standin' in the courthouse
In front of every child
She said "Your Honor I plead to,
Crime of being satisfied"

[Chorus]

Kinda feelin' in love
I'm kinda feelin' in love
I'm kinda feelin' in love
Kinda feelin' love (But I'm Just 16) [x5]

Oh you say it's wrong you say what you do, you do, you do
Oh you say we're wrong you say what we do, we do, we do
Oh you say it's wrong you say what you do, you do, you do
Oh you say we're wrong you say what we do, we do, we do wrong

We do wrong
You do wrong [x7]

Velvet Revolver Lyrics - Mary Mary

Velvet Revolver Lyrics
Album: Libertad (2007)

"Mary Mary"

Got a feelin' feelin' in your eyes
Got a fever, fever, fever in your thighs
In your thighs
Mary, Mary, Mary by my side
Got time and love the kind you cannot buy
Cannot buy
Black boots strong legs got style
My baby knows the walk you see her come for miles
Come for miles

[Chorus]
Want to find out what you're saying
Want to play the games you're playing
Mary, Mary, on my mind (Get back sugar baby)
Mary, Mary, on my mind (Get back sugar baby)
Mary, Mary, on my mind

Modern lover modern kind
When we close the door we're never out of time
Out of time
Black hair, red lips, brown eyes
Can't tell you how it feels that you're mine, o' mine
Mine o' mine

[Chorus]

Baby, baby, baby's on my mind
When we close the door we're never out of time
Out of time

Want to play the games you're playing
Mary, Mary, on my mind (Get back sugar baby) [x4]
Mary, Mary, on my mind

Come on out
Get on out

Velvet Revolver Lyrics - American Man

Velvet Revolver Lyrics
Album: Libertad (2007)

"American Man"

Freedom the naked power
Weakened by the ages
Raped but not forgotten
All its supple secrets
Gods and liberations
Those that try to use it
Are those that try to sheath it
Wide awake

[Chorus]
Yes I am the American Man
Yes I am the American Man
Yes I am the American Man
Yes I am the American Man

Free men
Haunted by the music
Ghosts of generations
Beat the drums for freedom
Those who toiled and suffered
Now those they try to smother
Wide awake

[Chorus]

Where to begin
Bred to win
Where do I go
The soul worn off my skin
So I cut out the hole
In my soul I know is you
So are we ready
Ready to lose
I know
I feel, feel, feel
Inside the walls
Inside the walls
The iron walls protect the souls
Of my old boots

[Chorus]

Yes I am the American Man [x3]

Velvet Revolver Lyrics - Pills, Demons & Etc.

Velvet Revolver Lyrics
Album: Libertad (2007)

"Pills, Demons & Etc."

You, you got skills you got the pills
You're getting older
You got the weight of all that's left you on your shoulder
But the world still waits for you
Though you stare right through me

You got your demons and your ways of life
You could pull the trigger and
You'd end the strike

I got the news you had the blues you bought a ticket
To the one place that I won't be going to visit
What the fuck where you thinking
Now I stare right through you

You got your demons and your ways of life
You could pull the trigger and
You'd end the strike
You got your demons and your fancy wine
It would go down easy if you'd spend the night

You got your demons and your ways of life
You could pull the trigger and
You'd end the strike
You got your demons and your fancy wine
It would go down easy if you'd spend the night

Velvet Revolver Lyrics - The Last Fight

Velvet Revolver Lyrics
Album: Libertad (2007)

"The Last Fight"

Time feels like I've been back in jail
Like when I was doing time but in the can
Spend all night on a bended knee
Just to beg for something to believe
Left home with a pack of clothes without a family tree

[Chorus]
This fight could be the last fight
No giving and no winning
One time could be the all the time
Should we decide to end the misery

Time heals all of the burned out bridges
Filled with nothing more than misery
I wear the mask of the unbattled son
Trying to beg for something to believe
Left home with a pack of clothes without a family tree

[Chorus]

Break the chains of featherweights and giants
With the stain forever lasting liars
They're afraid when we spit out the fire
And start living

[Chorus x3]

Velvet Revolver Lyrics - She Builds Quick Machines

Velvet Revolver Lyrics
Album: Libertad (2007)

"She Builds Quick Machines"

Hold fast little love
Burn it strong, let it roam
Ice cold desert snow
She build a quick dream
Sister keep her motor clean
Sunday visits and a wet machine
She's always quick to fight
We'll break her through the night

[Chorus]
I can feel it when you pull straight down
I can feel it when they stood their ground
Roll over right
Keep it through the night
Right, Right
Keep it through the night
Right in my sight
Keep it through the night
I'll smash right through your spotlight

She ran away to Texas
To keep away the excess
Old ex in Vegas, dope, back Texas
She burn through inheritance
Danced across America
At the all night sex show so far from home

[Chorus]

What you give is what you take.
What you bleed is what you break.
I'd bleed for you.
I'd steal for you.
I'd take. [x8]

[Chorus]

Velvet Revolver Lyrics - Get Out The Door

Velvet Revolver Lyrics
Album: Libertad (2007)

"Get Out The Door"

Come on closer, won't you tell me what you got
Wait a minute girl, you're something that you're not
Big cities screaming, driving feathers to and fro
Brass in pocket, thought you hit it when you walked up to my door
I've been down this road so long
Seen miles and miles of freaks before

[Chorus]
Get out the door
Get out the door
Gonna kick you when I saw what you were packing
Gonna kick it out the door
Get out the door
Gonna kick you when I saw what you were packing
Gonna kick it out the door

Like Transformers girl there's more than meets the eye
Another beer and then I mighta end up buyin'
The city screams it's full of Angelos and Toms
Never underestimate the danger of sunset boulevard
I've been down this road so long
Seen miles and miles of freaks before

[Chorus]

I've been down this road so long
That miles and miles of freaks before
Think I stop and think I strong
But never could I been so wrong, so wrong

[Chorus x2]

Velvet Revolver Lyrics - She Mine

Velvet Revolver Lyrics
Album: Libertad (2007)

"She Mine"

Love songs keep pumpin' on my radio
You split on Monday
Took your machine that kept me afloat
Now you're back it's Tuesday

I call it love insanity
I call it my reality
She mine, mine all mine
She mine, mine all mine

Cool kids keep movin' as the car explodes
Roll around on Sunday
Dual diagnosis is the way to go
Poppin' pills like candy

I call it love insanity
I call it my reality
She mine, mine all mine
She mine, mine all mine

While away
Our old mistakes
Break the fray
Change
She mine, mine all mine
She mine, mine all mine
She mine, mine all mine
She mine, mine all mine

Velvet Revolver Lyrics - Let It Roll

Velvet Revolver Lyrics
Album: Libertad (2007)

"Let It Roll"

She's the one with lips like candy, candy
Like a dog well I'm a coming running
She got eyes that burn right through me, through me
She told me her name calls herself candy, candy

Can't burn her out of my head
Drink her off of my mind
Let it roll
Let it roll

She got a head that makes you think more of her
She got hairs that makes you want more of it
Lipstick smile that tastes of cherry brandy
She's more than quite insane that makes you want her badly

Can't burn her out of my head
Drink her off of my mind
Can't burn her out of my head
Drink her off of my mind
Let it roll
Candy-o
Candy, candy, candy, candy, candy-o

Can't burn her out of my head
Drink her off of my mind
Candy, candy, candy, candy, candy-o
Let it roll
Candy-o
Let it roll
Candy-o
Let it roll
Candy-o

Dashboard Confessional - Tonight I'll Take What I Can Get

Dashboard Confessional Lyrics
Album: The Shade Of Poison Trees (2007)

"Tonight I'll Take What I Can Get"

I've got my eye on top shelf liquor,
With taste so smooth it
Hits you quicker.
But you've only got the well.

And I've got an eye for top tier women
With legs so long they go straight to heaven,
But this old bunch looks like hell.

But tonight I'll take what I can get.

I'd like to hear a great musician
With strange ideas and grand ambition,
But this guy, he's got trouble with chords.

And I'd like to leave this game a winner
Head held high, the luck of beginners
But this old losers crawling out on all fours.

But tonight I'll take what I can get.

Well this drink will do,
And girl you look all right,
And this band is playing like hell tonight.

These dice are loaded
And Lord I am too
I might be losing but I'm leaving soon.

With the prettiest girl
To enter this dump,
She drank all of the whiskey but she left me the rum
And tonight I'll take what I can get

I've got my sights on brand new beginnings
Brand new starts make saints of sinners
But I'm doomed to live in my past

Live nude girls says the sign out front,
But old dead dreams are dancing in front,
Of old dead dreamers with washed up luck,
Buying love for cash

Well tonight I'll take what I can get.

This old story gets stale and dry,
No matter how I try and try
To spin this fable
Fresh and new

You strung me along
Like a tease on prom night
Getting me loose but
Leaving me uptight
Please tell me that
Some of that love was true.

Tonight I'll take what I can get

Well this drink will do,
And girl you look all right,
And this band is playing like hell tonight.

These dice are loaded
And Lord I am too
I might be losing but I'm leaving soon.

With the prettiest girl
To enter this dump,
She drank all of the whiskey but she left me the rum
And tonight I'll take what I can get.

Dashboard Confessional - Widows Peak

Dashboard Confessional Lyrics
Album: The Shade Of Poison Trees (2007)

"Widows Peak"

You will wait in the widows peak
And while you watch the ships come in
I will take the early train

And I will take the back streets
Down to New Orleans
Before the avenues are swallowed
By the morning heat

And you will watch the ships come in
And I will take the early train
And I will make it home

We're stronger than
Before the strain had broken us
And there is fight in us
I know

That it will take more than
A heavy rain
To silence us
When there's so much for us
I know

And you will wait
At your post until
You've been relieved
And warn us all
If seas are dangerous

But you should rest
For a little while
And I will watch the ships come in
I'll alert the citizens
I'll sound the alarm

We're stronger than
Before the strain had broken us
And there is fight in us
I know

That it will take more than
A heavy rain
To silence us
When there's so much for us
I know

They've tethered the ships
In the harbor
They've anchored the rest
At sea

We're stronger than
Before the strain had broken us
And there is fight in us
I know

We're stronger than
Before the strain had broken us
And there is fight in us
I know

That it will take more than
A heavy rain
To silence us
When there's so much for us
I know

Dashboard Confessional - Clean Breaks

Dashboard Confessional Lyrics
Album: The Shade Of Poison Trees (2007)

"Clean Breaks"

I believe in clean breaks, I keep the old troubles away

But you're making sure
I was lying when I said

"I can leave,
This behind"

I need you to ruin me
For this, finally,
'Cause it's burying me

Now, I'm in these old knots
Each move keeps me locked away

With each new embrace,
I have tied myself up.

More tightly,
Into you

Oh, but the more I fight
Then the deeper I'm trapped
And I can't break free of this hold that you have

And I crave you more
Under the heat of your touch
And I need your skin

To ruin me
For this wicked town
Where your ghosts are bound
To me

One last sacrifice
Of this ritual escape

I was lying when I said...
"I believe,
in clean breaks"

Dashboard Confessional - Matters Of Blood And Connection

Dashboard Confessional Lyrics
Album: The Shade Of Poison Trees (2007)

"Matters Of Blood And Connection"

Why do you speak with that accent now?
Everyone knows you're not from the streets.
You went to prep school in Cambridge,
With daughters and sons of the privileged elite.
Their fortunes from shipping and industry,
Their futures in yacht clubs and tails.
So why do you speak with that accent now?
Everyone knows you're moonlighting here.
To avail yourself of your heritage,
For a season or two in the sun.

Draw well from the funds in the trust,
Thanks to the fathers of fortunate sons,
For us it's a matter of charging the gates
For you it's a matter of blood and connections

Of blood and connections.

So who do you fool with that costume now?
Everyone knows you're not who you seem
You've got a hard way about ou
For someone whose passage is already paid

By the sins and the schemes of your father
And the infinite reach of his arm

Draw well from the funds in the trust,
Thanks to the fathers of fortunate sons,
For us it's a matter of charging the gates
For you it's a matter of blood
Drink well from your bottomless cup
And bask in your good fortune
For us it's a matter of charging the gates
For you it's a matter of blood and connections
So where will you be when you tire of the fun
The escape, the charade, and your time in the sun
I know everyone does their own reinvention
But yours has a taste that's hard to swallow

And what will you tell of your tenure with us?
Will you build yourself up, like the size of your hunt?
If they're anything like what you've been telling us,
Those stories will make true believers
Of the chumps and the fools.

So why do you speak with that accent now?
Everyone knows you're not from the streets.

Dashboard Confessional - I Light My Own Fires Now

Dashboard Confessional Lyrics
Album: The Shade Of Poison Trees (2007)

"I Light My Own Fires Now"

Slip out the back before those
Handlers get to tight on you
I light my own fires now
I light my own fires now

Slip in this town like it was
Measured to fit right on you
We light our own fires now
We lead ourselves into the night
Oh yeah,
I don't think I'll be held inside an ordinary cell
Am I the escape or
Am I the escape artist?
I know,
I know it's just a question of details

Or one of,
Denial.
Could all of this trip wire
Cut so easy?

We'll just see

Cut the alarm before the
Motion sets off its sensors
We move in silence now
We guard our secrets with our lives
And cover our tracks so we are
Protected from surveillance
We move in silence now
We lead ourselves into the fight

Into the fight
Into the fight
Into the fight

And all the saints
Will rise again
As sons of wealthy men
Tear the whole world down before our eyes

And all the signs
We should have read
While we ignored the dead
Will haunt us long after the last of us has died

Slip out the back before those
Handlers get too tight on you
I light my own fires now
I light my own fires now

Slip in this town like it was
Measured to fit right on you
We light our own fires now
We lead ourselves into the night

Dashboard Confessional - Little Bombs

Dashboard Confessional Lyrics
Album: The Shade Of Poison Trees (2007)

"Little Bombs"

How can you ask for forgiveness,
So now you think that your crimes are victim less?
I know you and your sins,
Your retributions,
So how will you lay your penance down?
We all pay in time,
So how will you clear your conscience when your clock unwinds?

I've heard enough of your forked tongue,
How do you know when the cuts are deep enough?
I know you like your stabs,
Your pre-emptive attacks,
But how will you hold your demons down?
We're all judged in time,
How can you seek redemption using alibis?

You oughta know better than to bait your jailer,
You oughta know,
You oughta know better.

How do you deal with the consequence,
Now that we bear the weight of your arrogance?
I know you and your cons,
Your petty little bombs,
But who will you blame your troubles on now?
We all pay in time,
So how will you clear your conscience when your lies unwind?

You oughta know better than to bait your jailer.
You oughta know better than to test your luck.
You oughta know better than to bite who feeds 'ya.
You oughta know, you oughta know better...

How can you ask for forgiveness,
How can you think that your crimes are victim less,
I know you and your sins,
Your retributions,
So how will you lay your penance down?
We're all judged in time,
So how will you clear your conscience when your lies unwind?

Dashboard Confessional - The Rush

Dashboard Confessional Lyrics
Album: The Shade Of Poison Trees (2007)

"The Rush"

Taste
I love the taste
I need its warm rush

Rush
I need the rush
To pulse through my veins

And I'll love you tonight
Oh I love you tonight
And tomorrow you may just
Feel the same

Please don't bite down

I will know I'm alive

Rush
There is no rush
There is no reason
To blush
There's only us
To keep it between

And I'll love you tonight
I will love you tonight
And tomorrow we may just feel the same

And I won't bite down
'Til the moment counts

And I'll know I'm alive
And I'll know I'm alive
Give me some teeth
Give me something
Unforgettable
And I'll know I'm alive

And I'll know I'm alive
And I'll know I'm alive
And the moment's right

And I'll know I'm alive
And I'll know I'm alive
Give me some teeth
Give me something
Unforgettable
And I'll know I'm alive

And I'll know I'm alive
And I'll know that I am alive

"The Shade Of Poison Trees"

If you knew,
What I know,
Would you try?
Before your time
Has run on you
And worn you down

Would you know,
What you desire,
In your heart?

If you knew,
What I know,
Would you try?

Is there time?
Is there time?
To follow just one desire?

Is there time?
Is there time,
To follow your heart?

Dress your wounds
Test your strength
Face the night

Crave the touch
Feel the pain
Know the signs

Is there truth,
In your pain?
You decide

If you knew,
What I know,
Would you try?

Is there time?
Is there time?
To follow just one desire?

Is there time?
Is there time,
To follow your heart?

As we lie
In the shade
Of poison trees

Are we as safe
As we let
Ourselves believe?

Dashboard Confessional - Fever Dreams

Dashboard Confessional Lyrics
Album: The Shade Of Poison Trees (2007)

"Fever Dreams"

Fever Dreams
Can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks

They can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks

They can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks

They can only haunt you

Beneath your skin
And your games
You're alone

But you're so contagious
Tell me, what am I to do?
When a fire, and a fever rages

And I have caught it too,
So who's to blame

Fever Dreams
They can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks
They can only haunt you

I've had enough of these moves
I've had enough of these moves
You get everything with
I've lost all I can lose
To your skill and your games

But you're so contagious, so contagious

Fever dreams
Can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks

They can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks

They can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks

They can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks

But you're so contagious
Tell me, what am I to do?
When a fire and a fever rages
And I have caught it too,
So who's blame
For who gets burned
For holding you?

Dashboard Confessional - These Bones

Dashboard Confessional Lyrics
Album: The Shade Of Poison Trees (2007)

"These Bones"

Lay my bones
At the feet of the ministry
I need the guilt and the company
I need the chance to be judged
And then long forgotten

Lately I just can't shake it
I count the days in seconds and minutes
Hours and hours are subtle as shards of glass
In the skin

So lay with me
I could use the company
You could help me ease

These bones
Are like maps and keys
Where they took their hits
And they felt those teeth

There's a story hidden
Underneath
If you dig in deep
Will you find relief?

For these bones
Shudder all night long
The hammer drops
Another scar
For these bones
But I know
They're only my second home.

Naked and under the cover of night
It's just a matter of time 'til I'm
Counted and measured and filed
And then long forgotten

Forgive my manner of speaking
I know it's quick, but the clock is still ticking
And I've got a few words left burning holes on my tongue
I've been saving them

So lay with me
I could use the company
You could help me ease

These bones
Are like maps and keys
Where they took their hits
And they felt those teeth

There's a story hidden
Underneath
If you dig in deep
Will you find relief?

For these bones
Shudder all night long
The hammer drops
Another scar
For these bones

But I know
They're only my second home

No you won't go down alone
No you won't go down alone
No you won't go down alone
No you won't go down alone

So lay with me
I could use the company
You could help me ease

These bones
Are like maps and keys
Where they took their hits
And they felt those teeth

There's a story hidden
Underneath
If you dig in deep
Will you find relief?

These bones
Are like maps and keys
Where they took their hits
And they felt those teeth

There's a story hidden
Underneath
If you dig in deep
Will you find relief?

For these bones
'Cause I know
That you won't go down alone

Dashboard Confessional - Keep Watch For The Mines

Dashboard Confessional Lyrics
Album: The Shade Of Poison Trees (2007)

"Keep Watch For The Mines"

Don't act like you've been silent
I know how you spread that
Web of contradictions
Wide like so much cover fire

Keep watch for the mines
Keep watch for the mines

Be careful who you
Wave that tongue at around here
I've seen smarter acts than yours
Get disappeared

If you keep swinging that knife
All over this town
You are bound to get you own back stabbed

Keep watch for the mines
The concealed dangers
The traps and the coils of the wires
With the sharp razors
The ditches and the trenches and the smiles
Of the grave diggers
And if you're told
The answer needs no questioning
The answer is a lie

Keep watch for the mines
Keep watch for the mines
Will they bleed everyone out?
Will they bleed everyone out?
Keep watch for the mines
Will they bleed everyone out
Before they die?

Keep watch for the mines
Will they bleed everyone out?
Will they bleed everyone out?
Keep watch for the mines
Will they bleed everyone out
Before they die?

Keep watch for the mines
The concealed dangers
The traps and the coils of the wires
With the sharp razors
The ditches and the trenches and the smiles
Of the grave diggers
And if you're told
The answer needs no questioning
The answer is a lie

Keep watch for the mines
Keep watch for the mines

Dashboard Confessional - Thick As Thieves

Dashboard Confessional Lyrics
Album: The Shade Of Poison Trees (2007)

"Thick As Thieves"

Would it kill you to breath easy
Only seventeen miles lay between you and me
I could make it if I had to
I don’t break easily
You’ve got my counsel thick as thieves
If there’s a crime, we’ll keep it secret
For there’s only trace amounts left in your blood

You may be a sinner, but you may be justified

Just keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear I’ll make it right

Will it kill me to breath
Not as easy as you think it is
Between you and me
I could fake it if I have to
I don’t break easily
I need your counsel thick as thieves
I have no crime to keep a secret
It was hers it was not mine

Well I may be a sinner, but it wasn’t me this time

Just keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear I’ll make it right

Well listen to yourself
There is a hemorrhage in your mouth
It won’t stop bleeding

Well, you may be the traitor
I will hold the smoking gun
You’ll get away clean
I’ll keep your secrets
Till the grave has swallowed me
And I will never tell a tortured soul
That are burning by my side
That I am a sinner, I am a savior, I am alive

So keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear I’ll make it right

Dashboard Confessional - Where There's Gold..

Dashboard Confessional Lyrics
Album: The Shade Of Poison Trees (2007)

"Where There's Gold.."

Step on the stage
the lights, the praise,
the curtain calls and the big parade
You know that life all too well

Promise the pain, the valor, the rage
Hold up your hands for the bow and the wave
You know his touch a little too well

You throw yourself into their arms
Mistresses have all the fun
But no one's ever there to take you home

Box up your gloves and your down coats
Bound for the sun and the west coast
Where upper crust tragedy is abound

A tip for the girl at the coat check
The guy at the door and the bar back
They know your face oh so well

But movies never made you famous
All your dreams got lost or traded
And all you ever cared about got lost
You were surely still an actress older men would find attractive
And all you ever dreamed of was the cost

Where there's gold there's a gold digger [x6]

You throw yourself into their arms
Mistresses have all the fun
But no one's ever there to take you home

New Found Glory Lyrics - The Minute I Met You

New Found Glory Lyrics
Album: From The Screen To Your Stereo Part II (2007)

"The Minute I Met You"

I would like to start off by saying I had everything to do with it,
You may think that I lie real well, you can tell that I'm holding it in,

Nevermind the time or the spinning of your head,
I could tell my life was changing,
Since the minute i met you,

And if I stop,
Ever thinking of you,
I'd probably choke on the words I never said,
And if I stop,
Ever thinking of you,
I'd bury my heart and fall back in my bed,

And what a sight that'll be yeah,

I will never tell you this,
but I'm scared of falling apart,
It may seem like I'm holding it together but the weather is making it hard,

Never mind the time or the spinning of your head,
I could tell my life was changing, Since the minute I met you,

And if I stop,
Ever thinking of you,
I'd probably choke on the words I never said,
And if I stop,
Ever thinking of you,
I'd bury my heart and fall back in my bed,

And what a sight that'll be,
All my friends surrounding me,
Just cause you've made it this far,
Doesn't mean you've made it,

And if I stop,
Ever thinking of you, I'd probably choke on the words I never said,
And if I stop,
Ever thinking of you,
I'd bury my heart and fall back in my bed,

And what a sight that'll be,
And what a sight that'll be yeah

"Son Of A Gun"

[Originally by Nirvana]

Take a step outside yourself
And turn around
Take a look at who you are
It's pretty scary
So silly
Revolting
You're not much
You can't do anything
Take a step outside the city
And turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is revolting
You're really nowhere
So wasteful
So foolish
Poppycock
Who said don't look back?
Don't believe 'em
go for that crazy sounding restaurant
Cuz they're gonna try and get behind you
Don't you let them do it
You know what I'm talking about?
You hear me talking?
You hear me talking?
It's pretty scary it's so revolting
Take a step outside the country
And turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is amazing
Take a good look
You're no big deal
You're so petty
It's lots
Take a step outside the planet
Turn around and around
Take a look at where you are
It's pretty scary

"Joga"

[Originally by Bjork]

All these accidents,
That happen,
Follow the dot,
Coincidence,
Makes sense,
Only with you,
You don't have to speak,
I feel.

Emotional landscapes,
They puzzle me,
Then the riddle gets solved,
And you push me up to this

State of emergency,
How beautiful to be,
State of emergency,
Is where I want to be.

All that no-one sees,
You see,
Whats inside of me,
Every nerve that hurts,
You heal,
Deep inside of me, oo-oohh,
You don't have to speak,
I feel.

Emotional landscapes,
They puzzle me - confuse,
Then the riddle gets solved,
And you push me up to this

State of emergency,
How beautiful to be,
State of emergency,
Is where I want to be.

State of emergency,
How beautiful to be,

Emotional landscapes,
They puzzle me,
Then the riddle gets solved,
And you push me up to this

State of emergency,
How beautiful to be,
State of emergency,
Is where I want to be.

State of emergency,
How beautiful to be,
State of emergency,
State of, state of,
How beautiful,
Emergency,
Is where I want to be.

State of emergency,
How beautiful to be,
State of emergency,
Is where I want to be.

State of emergency,
How beautiful to be.

New Found Glory Lyrics - For The World

New Found Glory Lyrics
Album: From The Screen To Your Stereo Part II (2007)

"For The World"

[Shai Hulud Cover, Performed 4/21/2001 Albany, NY]

Poured myself out:
I am the empty cup
My hope has died away
And my tolerance faded.

How can I keep Stability
On such shaky ground?
Prayers that a smile will flag me down.

Sadly I've learned there's no truth in comfort;
Well-being stems not from love.
Anguish proves to be my only means of solace,
Yet I want to be held by anyone,
With any arms

I spend another morn alone
In a world that rejects me.
A public unkind, laced with apathy.
This one's for the world: I hate you.

Life could get no colder;
I'm living out a dying cell,
But I can pull through.

New Found Glory Lyrics - Faithfully

New Found Glory Lyrics
Album: From The Screen To Your Stereo Part II (2007)

"Faithfully"

[Originally by Journey]
[Sung by Ian Grushka (bassist)]

Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go 'round and 'round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin' all my love
Along the wire

They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
Lovin' a music man
Ain't all it's supposed to be
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully

Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you

And being apart ain't easy
On this love affair
Two strangers learn
To fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully

New Found Glory Lyrics - Ex-Miss

New Found Glory Lyrics
Album: From The Screen To Your Stereo Part II (2007)

"Ex-Miss"

Everything that could have went wrong, went wrong this year.
Nothing recently has made me want to stand up and cheer.
Everything you haven't said has finally come back to you.
Now is not the time.
I know you never liked any gifts I gave to you...
This holiday is overrated.
It turned out the way I expected.
This holiday is one to forget.
Another year, this time I'll regret that I spent too much time and money on you.
Why do I only remember the bad times we had?
I guess everything we do does reflect.
Everything you wish you said, has finally come back to you.
Now is not the time...
I know you never liked any gifts I gave to you...
This holiday is overrated.
It turned out the way I expected.
Another year, this time I'll regret that I spent too much time and money on you.
I hope you spend it alone.

"Congratulations Smack & Katy"

[Reggie And The Full Effect cover, sung by James Dewees]

Girl, where's your head full of lead?
Can't you see what you're doing to me?
Wipe that disgrace off your face
Look and see what you've done to me

Girl, you look bored
I wish everything about the danger wouldn't make you such a stranger
So what's the deal?
Don't you feel what i'm dealing with?
But it's alright

Girl, come on, I'll show you how to deal with this.
But not tonight.

Girl, you look bored
I wish everything about the danger wouldn't make you such a stranger
Hold me so close
I can tell you have the best intentions, one of those simple inventions
Never a dull situation, we could just stay on vacation

Never start an argument with you
Something I won't do

Girl, you look bored
I wish everything about the danger wouldn't make you such a stranger
Hold me so close
I can tell you have the best intentions, one of those simple inventions
Now that I have your attention

"Certain"

my life is an open book of changes and this just occured to me
i dream of all these different places that i would rather be i know
that all i want is to be a man who is certain with himself my battles aren't won [2x]
until i'm certain with myself it's hard for me to feel this anymore
where have the feelings gone i need to stop myself from hiding
i've been down for far too long i know these worries of mine
they won't change like the world i'm in how do i change myself

"Head Over Heels"

[From the movie "Donnie Darko"]
[Originally by Tears For Fears]

I wanted to be with you alone and talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Won't escape my attention
You keep your distance with a system of touch and gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much
Oh, you're wasting my time, you're just, just, just wasting time

Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out till I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah, take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't, don't, don't throw it away (Throw it away...Throw it away...)

I made a fire and watching it burn (yeah) Thought of your future
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
No, no, no, have you no ambitions,
My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be man when there's a gun in your hand
Oh, I feel so...

Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out till I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't, don't, don't throw it away (don't throw it away)

And this is my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind, this is my four leaf clover

La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la

Swaying room as the music starts
Strangers making the most of the dark
Two by two their bodies become one

I see you through the smokey air
Can't you feel the weight of my stare
You're so close but still a world away
What I'm dying to say, is that

I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss
I'm crazy for you, crazy for you

Trying hard to control my heart
I walk over to where you are
Eye to eye we need no words at all

Slowly now we begin to move
Every breath I'm deeper into you
Soon we two are standing still in time
If you read my mind, you'll see

I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss
(I'll feel it in my kiss)

Because I'm crazy for you,
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss,
I'm crazy for you, crazy for you,

Crazy for you (Trying hard to control my heart)
I'm crazy for you (Trying hard to control my heart)

It's all brand new, I'm crazy for you
And you know it's true (yeah)
I'm crazy for you

It's all brand new, I'm crazy for you
And you know it's true (yeah)
I'm crazy for you

Giving me everything inside and out and

Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

Will you stand above me? (above me)
Look my way, never love me (love me)

Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Don't you try to pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security

Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't

[From the movie "City of Angels"]
[Originally by Goo Goo Dolls]

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies

Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

[Originally by The Cardigans]

Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
You love me no longer, I know
And maybe there is nothing
That I can do to make you do

Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
That I ought just stick to another girl
A girl that surely deserves me
But I think you do

So I cry, I pray, and I beg

Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Fool, fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me, love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me

So I cry, and I beg for you to

Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
I can't care about anything but you

Lately I have desperately pondered
Spent my nights awake an I wonder
What I could have done in another way
To make you stay

Reason will not lead to solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
As long as you don't go

So I cry, I pray, and I beg

Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Fool, fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me, love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me

So I cry, and I beg for you to

Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
I can't care about anything but you (anything but you)

Love me, love me
Fool, fool me
Love me, love me
I can't care about anything but you

New Found Glory Lyrics

"Stay (I Missed You)"
(Feat. Lisa Loeb)

[From the movie "Reality Bites"]
[Originally by Lisa Loeb]

You say I only hear what I want to.
You say I talk so all the time so.

And I thought what I felt was simple,
And I thought that I don't belong,
And now that I am leaving,
Now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you.
Yeah, I missed you.

And you say I only hear what I want to...
I don't listen hard,
I don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
Or to anyone, anywhere,
I don't understand if you really care,
I'm only hearing negative... no, no, no.

So I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up,
And this woman was singing my song...
The lover's in love, and the other's run away,
The lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay.

Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was
Dying since the day they were born.
Well, this is not that...
I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown.

And I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure.

You try to tell me that I'm clever,
But that won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you.

You said that I was naive,
And I thought that I was strong.
I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave."
But now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you.

You said, "You caught me 'cause you want me and one day you'll let me go."
"you try to give away a keeper, or keep me 'cause you know you're just so scared to lose.
And you say, "stay."

You say I only hear what I want to.

I don't need to fall at your feet
Just cause you cut me to the bone
And I won't miss the way that you kiss me
We were never carved in stone

And If I don't listen to the talk of the town
Then maybe I can fool myself
I'll get over you I know I will
I'll pretend my ships not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
Because I am the king of wishful thinking
Because I am the king of wishful thinking

I refuse to convince you my bruise
That's not how its gonna be
And I deny the tears in my eyes
I don't wanna let you see, no

That you had made a hole in my heart
And now I've got to fool myself
I'll get over you I know I will
I'll pretend my ships not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you

Because I am the king of wishful thinking
I'll get over you I know I will
I'll pretend my ships not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
Because I'm the king of wishful thinking

If I don't listen to the talk of the town
Then maybe I can fool myself
I'll get over you I know I will
I'll pretend my ships not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
Because I'm the king of wishful thinking
I am the king of wishful thinking
I'll get over you I know I will
You made a whole in my heart
But I won't shed a tear for you
I'll be the king of wishful thinking
(I'll be the king of wishful)

I'll get over you I know I will
I'll pretend my hearts still beating
Cause I've got no more tears for you
I am the king of wishful thinking
(king of wishful thinking) no

"The Promise"
(Feat. Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional)

[From the movie "Napoleon Dynamite"]
[Originally by When In Rome]

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will...

If you need a friend,
Don't look to a stranger,
You know in the end,
I'll always be there.

And when you're in doubt,
And when you're in danger,
Take a look all around,
And I'll be there.

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise you)
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,(I promise you)
I promise, I promise you I will.

When your day is through,
And so is your temper,
You know what to do,
I'm gonna always be there.

Sometimes if I shout,
It's not what's intended.
These words just come out,
With no gripe to bear.

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
(I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
(I promise you)
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
(I promise you)
I promise, I promise you...

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
(I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
(I promise you)
And if I had to walk the world, that make you fall for me,
(I promise you)
I promise you, I promise you I will.

I gotta tell ya, I need to tell ya, I gotta tell ya, I gotta tell yaaaa ...

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
(I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
(I promise you)
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
(I promise you)
I promise you, I promise you...

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
(I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
(I promise you)
And if I have to walk the world to make you fall for me,
(I promise you)
I promise you, I promise you I will ...
I will...
I will...
I will...

New Found Glory Lyrics - It Ain't Me Babe

New Found Glory Lyrics
Album: From The Screen To Your Stereo Part II (2007)

"It Ain't Me Babe"
(Feat. Sherri DuPree-Gilbert of Eisley)

[From the movie "Walk The Line"]
[Originally by Bob Dylan]

Go 'way from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're lookin' for someone
Never weak but always strong
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe

Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want, babe
I only let you down
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes to you
Someone to close his heart
Someone to die for you an' more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe

You say you're looking for someone
To pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
An' to come each time you call
An' to love for your life an' nothing more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe

New Found Glory Lyrics - Kiss Me

New Found Glory Lyrics
Album: From The Screen To Your Stereo Part II (2007)

"Kiss Me"

[From the movie "She's All That"]
[Originally by Sixpence None The Richer]

Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
I'll wear those shoes and you will wear that dress.

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me
So kiss me
So kiss me
So kiss me

INXS Lyrics - God's Top Ten

INXS Lyrics
Album: Switch (2005)

"God's Top Ten"
(feat. Suzie McNeil)

Romance is gone, he's drifting with the stars
The lyric in his pocket, little girl in his heart
When you hear his songs on the radio
I don't need to tell you what you already know
He's in God's top ten where heaven never ends

You saw the world and the world saw you on the stage
Wild, wild, wild colonial boy
Roquefort le pont
Your gypsy heart is free,
pictures on the wall of your family
He's on God's top ten where heaven never ends
He's on God's top ten

Baby's got mama's eyes, she was always beautiful
When you hear his voice, feel his arms around you
You remember momma smiling a daddy's little girl
Bad weather, cold media storm
He's on God's top ten where heaven never ends
He's on God's top ten

INXS Lyrics - Us

INXS Lyrics
Album: Switch (2005)

"Us"
(feat. Suzie McNeil)

The world is always changing, you can see it every day
But in a tragic situation you just can't hide yourself away
So try a little kindness cause it sure can't be that hard
You're shining in the darkness when you open up your heart

Your love is all we need to bring us together
Don't leave it to me,
nothing's for free,
it comes down to us

Hungry babies on television,
can you feel the shame?
We've got to keep on giving to one another,
'cause it's all gonna happen again
Why don't you try a little kindness cause it sure can't be that hard
Just think about what binds us and find a new place to start

Your love is all we need to bring us together
Don't leave it to me, nothing's for free,
it comes down to us
Your love is all we need to bring us together
We're not indestructable,
we're some kind of miracle
Happens every day

INXS Lyrics - Like It Or Not

INXS Lyrics
Album: Switch (2005)

"Like It Or Not"

Sex is sex and love is love,
mix 'em both up, baby, that's the stuff
I can't believe I'm seeing the world come tumbling,
crumbling down
Yeah, less love the world's receiving,
more chance of it all shutting down
Shutting down, yeah, yeah

Like it or not, love is the God
Love is the, love is the God
Like it or not, love is the God
Love is the God

So put your guns down on the ground,
yeah, peace, it makes such a pretty sound
I can't believe I'm seeing the world come tumbling,
crumbling down
You won't believe the feeling when it's all coming back around
Coming 'round, yeah, yeah

Love is the God, yeah, like it or not
Love is the, love is the, yeah, love is my God
Like it or not, love is God

Love is my God, yeah, yeah, like it not
Love is the, love is the, yeah, like it or not
Love is the, yeah, like it or not
Love is the, love is the, yeah
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Yeah, love is the God
Love is the, oh, like it or not
Love is the, love is the, yeah
Love is the God

Love is God

INXS Lyrics - Never Let You Go

INXS Lyrics
Album: Switch (2005)

"Never Let You Go"

Everything's good when it's sunshine,
you should see me in the rain
Everyone knows what it feels like to have to start over again
But I can't start over again, again, again, again

If someday I find me the answer,
move down south and marry a dancer
I could never let you go
And when he's holding you,
you remember the day I met you, one cold December
I could never let you go
Oh, I could never let you go

Everything I see around me reminds me of why you were numb
This bed is too deep to be empty,
I'm swimming in oblivion, I'm drowning in oblivion
And on, and on, and on, and on,
and on, and on, and on, and on

And if someday I find me the answer,
move down south and marry a dancer
I could never let you go
And when he's holding you,
you remember the day I met you, one cold December
I could never let you go
Oh, I could never let you go,
could never let you go

Everything's good when it's sunshine,
you should see me in the rain
Everyone knows what it feels like to have to start over again

If someday I find me the answer,
move down south and marry a dancer
I could never let you go
And when he's holding you,
you remember the day I met you, one cold December
I could never let you go
Oh, I could never let you go

And if someday I find me the answer,
move down south and marry a dancer
I could never let you go
Oh, I could never let you go
Could never let you go,
could never let you go,
could never let you go

Could never let you go

INXS Lyrics - Hungry

INXS Lyrics
Album: Switch (2005)

"Hungry"

The world is a hungry place and it's never satisfied
You're leaving home, on the run, your mama, she was right
Home was a crowded space but it sometimes gratified
Look around, freedom found, now you've gone

you don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go
You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you know

Your life is a precious thing, you can never be denied
You need a job, a place to live, you couldn't help but try
Home was a crowded place and it sometimes satisfied
Turn around, freedom found, now you've gone

Baby, turn back, don't ride the highway
Baby, good luck when you do it your way

You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go
You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go
I don't belong to you, it's only an ocean away
You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go

When there's nothing in your way and all of it burns inside
Reaching out on your own, reaching out,
you're reaching out on your own

Lust is a hungry place and it's never satisfied
You need to find the gift of love that comes from deep inside
Your heart is a special place and you're always there,
I'm always there for you

You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go
You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you know
I don't belong to you, it's only an ocean away
You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go

Baby, turn back, don't ride the highway
Baby, good luck when you do it your way

INXS Lyrics - Remember Who's Your Man

INXS Lyrics
Album: Switch (2005)

"Remember Who's Your Man"

Sugar, I want to know you, know you inside out
Mystery surrounds you,
got to figure it out
Driving downtown to your house,
your lights are never on
You got me hooked, I wanna drown
Without your hand I'm going down

And I can't stop, don't help me out,
so lonely and I'm bleeding from the inside
Oh no no, no no
I need you, you need to remember,
remember, remember who's your man

Met you on the corner not so long ago
You asked me where I was going,
I said I don't know
Tell me how is it you came into my life so damn fast
You blew my mind,
left me behind and now I'm living in your past

And I can't stop, blow me out,
I'm so lonely, got me bleeding from the inside
I need you, and you need to remember,
remember, can't you remember who's your man?

Who's your man?

You knocked me out, so lonely,
got me bleeding from the inside
'Cause I need you, and you need to remember
I said, 'cause I need you, and you need to remember
Can you do that? 'Cause I'm so high
Remember, can't you remember,
oh baby, remember who's your man

Who's your man?
Who's your man?
Who's your man?

INXS Lyrics - Perfect Strangers

INXS Lyrics
Album: Switch (2005)

"Perfect Strangers"

Do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do. Do, do, do do

Don't tell me your name,
just use that pretty mouth
To kiss me if you want this,
but I want you inside out
Start here at the end and later,
when we're waking
Our bodies still weak, we finally meet,
turn my head and say

We could be perfect strangers,
let's spend tonight
We could be perfect strangers,
hello, won't you look in my eyes?
Don't let this bad world change you
You got places to go,
so much further than I can see

We could be perfect strangers
Thank you for spending one night with me

Do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do. Do, do, do do

Let's just keep this simple
In the AM it's goodbye
The syrup's so much sweeter when you let the butter fly
So spread your wings and go,
it's better not to know
What I'm gonna miss,
I'll remember your kiss when I turn my head and say

We could be perfect strangers,
let's spend tonight
We could be perfect strangers,
hello, won't you look in my eyes?
Don't let this bad world change you
You got places to go,
so much further than I can see

We could be perfect strangers
Thank you for spending one night with me

We are passing trains, we are whiplash lovers
We are burning wax melting all over each other

We could be perfect strangers,
let's spend tonight
We could be perfect strangers,
hello, won't you look in my eyes?
Don't let this bad world change you
You got places to go,
so much further than I can see

Everyone wants you but nobody knows
that you're so alone inside
We could be perfect strangers
Thank you for spending one night

INXS Lyrics - Hot Girls

INXS Lyrics
Album: Switch (2005)

"Hot Girls"
(feat. Suzie McNeil)

Looking out my window at some girl as I'm writing this
And I watch her eat a peach, the way she's biting it, biting it
And I probably shouldn't stare, but I am fighting it, fighting it
And I think that she's aware and kind of liking it, liking it

Hot girls, they can break me, break me
Hot girls, you know what you're doing
Now, hot girls, come and break me, break me
Hot girls, take me where you are going

On her motorbike, the way she's riding it, riding it
And she says it feels so good but she is hiding it, hiding it
Wet lips to cigarette and now she's striking it, lighting it
As she looks me in the eye, hell, she must know she's inviting it

Hot girls, they can break me, break me
Hot girls, you know what you're doing
Now, hot girls, come and break me, break me
Hot girls, take me where you are going

I've got nothing to prove, ain't got nothing to lose
If you need someone to use, I can take the abuse

holding up some paper to her window, she's writing her name
and number and I'm laughing as I'm dialing it, dialing it

I've got nothing to prove, ain't got nothing to lose
If you need someone to use, I can take the abuse

Hot girls, they can break me, break me
Hot girls, you know what you're doing
Now, hot girls, come and break me, break me
Hot girls, take me where you are going

Hot girls, they can break me, break me
Hot girls, you know what you're doing
Now, hot girls, come and break me, break me
Hot girls, take me where you are going

Hot girls, hot girls, hot girls, hot girls

INXS Lyrics - Afterglow

INXS Lyrics
Album: Switch (2005)

"Afterglow"

Here I am, lost in the light of the moon that comes through my window
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you and the roses

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, but who wants tomorrow?
In between the longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control
My mind drifts away, we only have today

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way
I will sacrifice 'til the blinding day when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

When the veils are gone as I let you go, as I let you go

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way, I will sacrifice
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you who is closest

INXS Lyrics - Pretty Vegas

INXS Lyrics
Album: Switch (2005)

"Pretty Vegas"

Falling asleep at the wheel again baby
You're drifting over the line (the line) yeah
Your hands are tight but you're losing grip quickly
Fix me, can you read the signs?

Thumbing your way to Vegas, dirty
And dreaming of the other side
Save your tears and laughter
Because it doesn't matter what you find

It ain't pretty
After the show
It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you
With no place to go
If you think you need it
Here's the place to feed it
But it ain't pretty

With everything that you do is wrong
And you fell like you can barely survive yeah
When those around you are crumbling downwards
Buried in the sunset alive

Thumbing your way to Vegas, dirty
And screaming like you're back from hell
Save your dreams and occupations
Cos' it doesn't matter what you sell

It ain't pretty
After the show
It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you
With no place to go
If you think you want it
Here's the place to get it
But it ain't pretty

The party's over and the road is long
The party's over and we're moving on
The party's over and the road is long

So if you think you want it
Then just come out and say it
It aint pretty

Falling asleep at the wheel again baby
You're drifting over the line (the line)
You're hands are tight but you're losing grip quickly
Fix me, can you read the signs

Thumbing your way to Vegas, dirty
And dreaming like you're outta control
Save your tears and laughter
Because this is the ride
And this is the show

It ain't pretty
After the show
It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you
With no place to go
So if you think you want it
Just come in and get it
It ain't pretty

INXS Lyrics - Devil's Party

INXS Lyrics
Album: Switch (2005)

"Devil's Party"

At the devil's party nothing's a sin
At the devil's party we know where you've been
If we're all right then tell me who's wrong
The love in a war, where do we belong?

I might believe it's love,
you might believe it's war

At the devil's party there's no light from the sun
At the devil's party, now, life's a loaded gun
More or less? No, less is more
Go on and be my guest
Where do we belong?

I might believe it's love, you might live a little more

Dreams of yours, dreams of mine
Dreams of all that shine on the other side,
on the other side

At the devil's party watch them stare in vain
At the devil's party, now, you're no friend of mine
Oh, lonely days of the road to excess
When you're on fire you burn like the rest

I might believe it's love, and you might believe it's war
Why don't we take a little less?
Then we could live a little more

Dreams of yours, dreams of mine
Dreams of all that breathe on the other side,
on the other side

Audioslave Lyrics - Moth

Audioslave Lyrics
Album: Revelations (2006)

"Moth"

Thought I was different and it seems I'm just the same
As a game I put my hand over the flame
I thought I was smarter as I flew into the sun
But it turned out the way it does with everyone

Oh, oh
I don't fly around your fire anymore
I don't fly around your fire anymore
Burnin', fallin' down so many times before
I don't fly around your fire anymore

I love the heat I love the things that I forgot
I love the strings that tie me down and cut me off
I was a king,
I was a moth with painted wings made of cloth
When did the flame burn so high and get so hot?

Oh, oh
I don't fly around your fire anymore
I don't fly around your fire anymore
Burnin', fallin' down so many times before
I don't fly around, fly around
Fly around

I don't fly around your fire anymore
I don't fly around your fire anymore
Burnin', fallin' down so many times before
I won't fly around, fly around

I won't fly around your fire anymore
I don't fly around your fire anymore
Burnin', fallin' down so many times before
I don't fly around, fly around
Oh
Fly around, oh

Audioslave Lyrics - Nothing Left To Say But Goodbye

Audioslave Lyrics
Album: Revelations (2006)

"Nothing Left To Say But Goodbye"

Just like a rescue of a stray dog in the rain I was
Hungry when you found me
And you could tell by my tail and my rib cage what was
Once around me

I've been chased by a rain cloud
I was lost and nearly drowned and kicked around
But now I'm found and I won't run away

Bless your heart you gave me a home and a new start
And I will leave you never
Sleep at your feet and stay guard at your front door
I will keep things together

I've been chased by a rain cloud
I was lost and nearly drowned and kicked around
But now I'm found and I won't run away

I killed myself,

Threw away my mental health but nobody was blinking an eye
Backyard, basement, falling on the pavement
Nothing Left to Say But Goodbye
Nothing Left to Say But Goodbye

It's true I ran away before but be sure
I am no tail-chaser
I know a good thing when it throws me a bone
I'm your best friend forever

I've been chased by a rain cloud
I was lost and nearly drowned and kicked around
But now I'm found and I won't run away

Audioslave Lyrics - Wide Awake

Audioslave Lyrics
Album: Revelations (2006)

"Wide Awake"

You can a look a hurricane right in the eye.
1200 people dead or left to die.
Follow the leaders, were it an eye for an eye we'd all be blind.
Deaf or murdered, and this I'm sure in this uncertain time.

So come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today.
I found you guilty of a crime, of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake.

Down on the road the world is floating by.
The poor and undefended left behind.
While you're somewhere trading lives for oil,
As if the whole world were blind, hey.

So come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today.
I found you guilty of a crime of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake.

Come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I found you guilty of a crime of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake
Wide awake! Wide awake! Wide awake! Wide awake!

Audioslave Lyrics

"Jewel Of The Summertime"

When I was 18 I didn't know pain when the sun was high
Burnt face, shadow's erased and I knew I'd be alright
Left that behind me, uh-huh
Somethin' blinded me, uh-huh
You’re reminding me, uh-huh
Of a better space and time, miles away

The jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time

When I turned 21 I saw the sun pulling out of sight
All that I met were dark silhouette's stumbling in the night
Then we collided, uh-huh
And I finally, uh-huh
Got a light on me, uh-huh
Now I'm bathing in the bright ultraviolet rays

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
Time, time

I left that behind me, uh-huh
But somethin' blinded me, uh-huh
You're reminding me, uh-huh
Of a better space and time, miles away

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time

Audioslave Lyrics - Shape Of Things To Come

Audioslave Lyrics
Album: Revelations (2006)

"Shape Of Things To Come"

Well it's late in the hour and a few more grains of sand will fall.
On the colorful flowers grown upon the dust and moss.
Now I feel the worst is near,
I hold them close and count their years.
And pray a ray of light appears
To shine down on us here

Breakdown in the shape of things to come
But I'm moving on like a soldier.
And I say now when all is said and done:
It's not ours to break, the shape of things to come.

There's a crack in the clouds, but only for a moment now
Like an owl looking out, the blue sky spies the roads we will go down.
I wonder what they hold for us? I hold my family to my breast,
I feel the worst and hope the best will come to see us blessed.

Breakdown in the shape of things to come
But I'm moving on like a soldier.
And I say now when all is said and done:
It's not ours to break, the shape of things to come.
Hey! Hey!

Give me one more try in what I'll change.
I won't deny the thought is strange.
I've done my best and now will lay no blame myself.

Breakdown in the shape of things to come
But I'm moving on like a soldier.
And I say now when all is said and done:
It's not ours to break, the shape of things to come.

The shape of things to come.
The shape of things to come.

Audioslave Lyrics - Somedays

Audioslave Lyrics
Album: Revelations (2006)

"Somedays"

Somedays, somedays, somedays just ain't so easy

Wake up, look around just before your feet hit the ground
Where they make the oil and street,
is where you stand and where you sleep
Black and whites along the lights,
plain clothes and Miranda Rights
At the right place but in the wrong life,
somedays just ain't so easy

Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays) just ain't so easy
Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays), somedays (Somedays)
Just ain't so easy

It's not the fault of anyone
as we revolve around the sun
We sleep beneath the same sky
but we all see it through different eyes
So if you go or if you stay,
standin' still or if you walk away
If you bend or if you break somedays just ain't so easy

Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays) just ain't so easy
Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays), somedays (Somedays)
Just ain't so easy, they just ain't so easy
Oh yeah

Nobody say it's so easy, yeah
I don't care for somedays

Someone may have done you right or done you wrong
Or kept it down from the day you were born
There's no need to apologize for the riot in your eyes
Somedays just ain't so easy
Hey! Hey! Hey!

Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays) just ain't so easy
Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays), somedays (Somedays)
Just ain't so easy

Audioslave Lyrics - Broken City

Audioslave Lyrics
Album: Revelations (2006)

"Broken City"

My city sleeps by the side of a freeway, the city scraps
And winter time she wore a yellow coat
Now there's nothin' on her back
If a building falls you wouldn't care to notice unless you were in it
Then no one cares about climbin' stairs, nothin' at the top no more

Outside trippin' in the broken city
Outside trippin' in the broken city,
I watch a building crack
Outside trippin' in the broken city
Outside kickin' in the broken city,
There's nothin' wrong with that
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo,
doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

Now the snow falls down like it's fallin' on an ocean
Dead and empty by the railroad tracks where they used to go and come
Now they don't come back
You can heal the rust, goin' up the throughways
Down the alleys where they stole this town from the frontier
I can see 'em tryin' to steal it back

Outside trippin' in the broken city
(Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Outside trippin' in the broken city,
I watch a building crack
Outside kickin' in the broken city
(Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Outside trippin' in the broken city,
There's nothin' wrong with that
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo,
doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo,
doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

Now the sun won't shine on this part of the map
Anymore
When it's cold outside I see it hide behind the smokestacks
No thin roses, no goldrush, no miner, no revolution they'd hire
And the shipyard is a graveyard, no one will be trying to find him

Outside trippin' in the broken city
(Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Outside kickin' in the broken city,
I watch a building crack
Outside trippin' in the broken city
(Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Outside kickin' in the broken city,
There's nothin' wrong with that
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
(There's nothin' wrong with that)
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo do
(Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo,
doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

Audioslave Lyrics - Original Fire

Audioslave Lyrics
Album: Revelations (2006)

"Original Fire"

The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on

With a pen in one hand taking us and drugged on kerosene
'84 and 5 would find us something to believe
Right or wrong with dirty hands on wires
Singing songs in dischord choirs
Screaming in braille no temptress prize
Could ever yield anything so real

The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on

Golden soldiers born much older than they'll ever live to be
Diving into a sea of hands in a long forgotten city
Here the rain falls ever after
The swinging vines hang dead in rafters
Blood rush to your head induces laughter endlessly

The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and long gone
But the riot inside moves on

Can't explain that it was somethin' to see
Can't contain so somethin' ever real
Ever real
Hey!

Can't explain it was somethin' to see
Can't contain so somethin' ever real
Ever real

The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on

Audioslave Lyrics - Until We Fall

Audioslave Lyrics
Album: Revelations (2006)

"Until We Fall"

I walk the streets where I regret, ah-ah-ah
I stood along and watched myself fall apart
And said the voices in my head, ah-ah-ah
Slipped through the chain link of a broken heart

And when I'm tired of feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
Stroke your feathers 'til we fall back down again, ah-ah-ah

But everything that sounded good, ah-ah-ah
I understand that I'll be misunderstood

And when I'm tired of feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
Stroke your feathers 'til we fall
Until we fall, until we fall back down again
Yeah, back down again

What do you feel before you think?
What do you see before you blink?
Who do you battle in your dreams?
Who strokes your feathers 'til you scream?

And when I'm tired of feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
And stroke your feathers 'til we fall
Until we fall, until we fall back down again
Yeah, back down again
