"Tell That Mick He Just Made My List Of Things
To Do Today"
Light that smoke, yeah one for giving up on me.
And one just cause they'll kill you sooner than my expectations.
To my favorite liar... to my favorite scar (To my favorite scar): "I could
have died with you". I hope you choke on those words, that kiss,
that bottle... I confess (So bury me in memory). Now ash yourself,
yeah out on the insides. I said I loved you but I lied. Let's
play this game called "When you catch fire". I wouldn't piss to put
you out. Stop burning bridges and drive off of them so I can forget
about you. So bury me in memory. His smile's your rope.
So wrap it tight around your throat. On the drive home joke about
the kid you used to see and his jealousy. Breaking hearts has never
looked so cool as when you wrap your car around a tree. Your makeup
looks so great next to his teeth (His teeth). Let's play this game
called "When you catch fire". I wouldn't piss to put you out, no.
Stop burning bridges and drive off of them so I can forget about you.
So bury me in memory. His smile's your rope. So wrap it tight
around your throat. So bury me in memory (So bury me). His
smile's your rope. So wrap it tight around your throat. So
bury me in memory... around your throat.
Dead On Arrival
I hope this is the last time, cause I'd never say
no to you. This conversation's been dead on arrival. And there's
no way to talk to you. This conversation's been dead on arrival...
a rivalry goes so deep between me and this loss of sleep over you.
This is side one, flip me over. I know I'm not your favorite record.
The songs you grow to like never stick at first. So I'm writing you
a chorus, and here is your verse... No, it's not the last time, cause
I'd never say no to you. This conversation's still dead on arrival.
And there's no way to talk to you when you're dead on... a rivalry
goes so deep between me and this loss of sleep over you. This is
side one, flip me over (This is my side one). I know I'm not your
favorite record. The songs you grow to like never stick at first
(The songs you grow to like). So I'm writing you a chorus, and here
is your... wooh. This is side one, flip me over. I know I'm
not your favorite record, no. So... this is side one, flip me over.

Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy
Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a
gentlemen. And maybe he won't find out what I know. You were
the last good thing about this part of town. When I wake up I'm willing
to take my chances on the hope I forget that you hate him more than you'd
notice. I wrote this for you (For you girl). You need him...
I could be him. I could be an accident, but I'm still trying (Yeah)...
and that's more than I can (Yeah) say for him. Where is your boy
tonight? I hope he is a gentlemen. And maybe he won't find
out what I know. You were the last good thing about this part of
town. Some day I'll appreciate in value, get off my ass and call
you. In the meantime I'll sport my brand new fashion of waking up
with pants on at 4 in the afternoon. You need him... I could be him.
I could be an accident, but I'm still trying (Yeah)... and that's more
than I can (Yeah) say for him. 1, 2, 3, 4. Where is your boy
tonight? I hope he is a gentlemen. And maybe he won't find
out what I know. You were the last good thing about this part of
town. Won't find out (He won't find out). Won't find out (He
won't find out). Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a
gentlemen. And maybe he won't find out what I know. You were
the last good thing about this part of town. Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentlemen (He won't find out). And maybe he won't

of town.
Saturday
I'm good to go and I'm going nowhere fast.
It could be worse, I could be taking you there with me (With me).
I'm good to go... but it looks like I'm still on my own. I'm good
to go for something golden, though the motions I've been going through
have failed. And I'm coasting on potential towards a wall at a hundred
miles an hour. When I say... two more weeks, my foot is in the door,
yeah. I can't sleep in the wake of Saturday (Saturday). Saturday,
when these open doors were open ended. Saturday, when these open
doors were open ended. Pete and I said goodbye to Astoria with promise
and precision and a mess of youthful innocence. And I read about
the afterlife, but I never really lived more than an hour (More than an
hour). When I say... two more weeks, my foot is in the door, yeah.

Homesick At Space Camp
Landing on a runway in Chicago and I'm grounding
all my dreams of ever really seeing California, because I know what's in
between is something sensual in such non-conventional ways. Tonight
the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't say. Tonight
the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't say. Tonight
I'm writing you a million miles away. Tonight is all about "We miss
you" ("We miss you"). "We miss you" ("We miss you"). Tonight
is all about "We miss you". And I can't forget your style or your
cynicism, somehow it was like you were the first to listen to everything
we said. My smile's an open wound without you... and my hands are
tied to pages inked to bring you back. Tonight the headphones will
deliver you the words that I can't say. Tonight I'm writing you a
million miles away. Tonight is all about "We miss you" ("We miss
you"). "We miss you" ("We miss you"). Tonight is all about
"We miss you now". These friends are, new friends are golden.
These friends are, new friends are golden. These friends are, new
friends are golden. These friends are, new friends are... Tonight
the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't say. Tonight

Sending Postcards From A Plane Crash (Wish You
Were Here)
I am such a sucker and I'm always the last to know.
My insides are copper and I'd kill to make them gold. Conversation
got me here, another night alone in the city. So make my bed the
grave and shovel dirt onto my sheets. Every friend we ever had in
common... I will sever the tie, sever the tie with you. You can thank
your lucky stars that everything I wish for will never come true.
When you go I will forget everything about you. When you go I will
forget everything about you. I've seen sinking ships go down with
more grace than you. Turn this up, I'll tune you out. Another
night alone in the city, yeah. Fake it like you matter, that's a
lie we can both keep, oh. Every friend we ever had in common... I
will sever the tie, sever the tie with you. You can thank your lucky
stars that everything I wish for will never come true. When you go
I will forget everything about you. When you go I will forget everything
about you. (I will forget) When you go I will forget everything about
you. When you go I will forget everything about you. Every
friend we ever had in common... I will sever the tie, sever the tie with
you. You can thank your lucky stars that everything I wish for will
never come true.
Chicago Is So Two Years Ago
My heart is on my sleeve. Wear it like a
bruise or blackeye. My badge, my witness. Means that I believed
every single lie you said. Cause every pain of glass that your pebbles
tap negates the pains I went through to avoid you. And every little
pat on the shoulder for attention fails to mention I still hate you.
But there's a light on in Chicago and I know I should be home. All
the colors of the street signs... they remind me of the pickup truck out
in front of your neighbor's house. She took me down and said, "Boy's
like you are overrated. So save your breath." Loaded words
and loaded friends are loaded guns to our heads. Cause every pain
of glass that your pebbles tap negates the pains I went through to avoid
you. And every little pat on the shoulder for attention fails to
mention I still hate you. But there's a light on in Chicago and I
know I should be home. All the colors of the street signs... they
remind me of the pickup truck out in front of your neighbor's house.
You want apologies? Girl, you might hold your breath until your breathing
stops forever... forever. The only thing you'll get is this curse
on your lips. I hope they taste of me forever. But there's
a light on in Chicago and I know I should be home. All the colors
of the street signs... they remind me of the pickup truck out in front
of your neighbor's. With every breath I wish your body will be broken
again, again. With every breath I wish your body will be broken again,
again. With every breath I wish your body will be broken again, again
(But there's a light on). With every breath I wish your body will
be broken again, again (I know I should be home).
The Pros And Cons Of Breathing
Bury me standing under your window with this cinder
block in hand. Yeah, cause no one will ever feel like this again.
And if I could move I'm sure it would only be to crawl back to you.
I must have dragged my guts a block... they were gone by the time we...
I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself, but you know that I could
crush you with my voice. I want to hate you half as much as I hate
myself, but you know that I could crush you with my voice. Stood
on my roof and tried to see you forgetting about me. Hide the details,
I don't want to know a thing. I hate the way you say my name like
it's something secret. My pen is the barrel of the gun. Remind
me which side you should be on. I want to hate you half as much as
I hate myself, but you know that I could crush you with my voice.

as invisible as you make me feel. I want to hate you half as much
as I hate my... I want to hate you half as much as I hate my (1,
2, 3, 4)... I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself, but
you know that I could crush you with my voice. I want to hate you
half as much as I hate myself (I want to hate you), but you know that I
could crush you with my voice (I want to...).
Grenade Jumper
Yeah. My heart ticks in beat with these kids
that I grew up with. Living like life's going out of style.
And you came to watch us play like a "Big shot talent", but at the end
of the day you know where we come from and where we call home. Whoa.
Hey Chris, you were our only friend (Hey Chris) and I know this is belated,
but we love you back. They'll say it's not worth it. So we'll
leave this town in ruin. Living like life's going out of style.
And you came to watch us play (To watch us play) like a "Big shot talent",
but at the end of the day you know those busted lips we take back home.
Hey Chris, you were our only friend (Hey Chris) and I know this is belated,
but we love you back. So... hey Chris, you were our only friend (You
were our only friend) and I know this is belated, but we love you back.
I know you would be there either way. I'm so glad it seems like these
times will never fade. I know you would be there either way (So I'll
tell everyone how much this means to me). I'm so glad it seems like
these times will never fade (So I'll tell everyone how much this means).
Hey Chris, you were our only friend and I know this is belated, but we
love you back. Go. Hey Chris, you were our only friend (You
were our only friend) and I know this is belated, but we love you back.
I know you would be there either way. I'm so glad it seems like these
times will never fade. I know you would be there either way (Hey
Chris, you were our only friend [You were our only friend]). I'm
so glad it seems like these times will never (I know this is belated, but
we love you back)...
Calm Before The Storm
I sat outside my front window... this story's going
somewhere. "He's well hung", and I am hanging up. There's a
song on the radio that says, "Let's get this party started". So let's
get this party started. What you do on your own time's just fine.
My imagination's much worse. I just never want to know. And
what meant the world had folded like legs and fingers holding onto what
escapes me. What he has... a better kiss that never lasts.
You said between your smiles and regrets, "Don't say it's over".
Dead and gone. Dead and gone. Yeah. The calm before the
storm set it off (Set it off), and the sun burnt out tonight. A reception
less than warm set it off, and the sun burnt out to... This is me
standing in the arch of the door hating that look that's on your face that
says there's another fool like me. There's one born every minute.
There's one born every minute. What you do on your own time's just
fine. My imagination's much worse. I just never want to know
(I just never want to know). What meant the world imploded, inflated
then demoted all my oxygen to product gas and suffocated my last chance.
You said between your smiles and regrets, "Don't say it's over".
Dead and gone. Dead and gone. Yeah. Whoa. The calm
before the storm set it off (Set it off), and the sun burnt out tonight.
A reception less than warm (Warm) set it off, and the sun burnt out to...
The calm before the storm set it off, set it off. Whoa. The
calm before the storm set it off, and the sun burnt out tonight.
A reception less than warm set it off (Set it off), and the sun burnt out
tonight. Whoa. The sun burnt out tonight (Whoa). The
sun burnt out tonight.
Reinventing The Wheel To Run Myself Over
I could walk this fine line between elation and
success, but we all know which way I'm going. Strike the stake between
my chest. So, "You have to prove yourself". You'll have to
prove it to me. So now you're waiting up for him... you're wasting
time, yeah every time. Whoa, I can't do it by myself. Whoa,
I can't do it by myself. Whoa, I can't do it by myself. Whoa,
I can't do it by myself. Whoa, I can't do it by myself. I can't
wake up to these reminders of who I am... a failure at everything.
18 going on extinct. I know my place, it's nowhere you should roam.
So now you're waiting up for him (Waiting up for him)... you're wasting
time, yeah every time. Yeah. Whoa, I can't do it by myself.
Whoa, I can't do it by myself. Whoa, I can't do it by myself.
Whoa, I can't do it by myself. Whoa, I can't do it by myself (Can't
do it by myself). Whoa, I can't do it by myself. Whoa, I can't
do it by myself (Can't do it by myself). Whoa, I can't do it by myself.
"You have to prove your...", hehe.
The Patron Saints Of Liars And Fakes
I'm holding out and I'm holding on to every letter
and every song. I pulled myself out of the day we ever had to meet.
You through with me? So... and when it all goes to hell will you
be able to tell me you're sorry with a straight face? And when it
all goes to hell will you be able to tell me you're sorry with a straight
face? I'm all ears and I'm all scars to hear you tell me, "Boy's
like you try too hard to look not quite as desperate". Well, I'm
hanging on. But I still know the way to make your makeup run.
So... and when it all goes to hell will you be able to tell me you're sorry
with a straight face? And when it all goes to hell will you be able
to tell me you're sorry with a straight face? And when it all goes
to hell will you be able to tell me you're sorry with a straight face?
And when it all goes to hell will you be able to tell me you're sorry with
a straight face (Take this to your grave and I'll take it to mine.)?
And when it all goes to hell... and when it all goes to hell... and when
it all goes to hell... and when it all goes...
