1. Faster
Horny & burned out now is how it always ends for me and
chemicals wear me down in your summertime bacchanalian
I saw you go
faster
Then the morning comes
she walks away like a lady
it's always the fallen ones
I think are always going to save me
I saw you go
faster
I want to get off one time and not apologize
You gotta steal the time of a life that's passing by
In bed she flexes her knees to try and abate the feeling
She mouths the words "oh please" to the poster on the ceiling
I saw you go
faster
right in front of me
she stares at him so madly
She's got the nerve to say
she wants to fuck that boy so badly
I saw you go
faster
I want to get off one time and not apologize
You gotta steal the time of a life thats passing by
I want to get off one time and look you in the eyes
I want to get off one time get off one time
I was hoping you would be waiting there for me lately
I was hoping you'd be waiting for me
I was hoping you'd be waiting there for me lately
I was hoping you would be waiting there for me
I was hoping you would be waiting there for me lately
but you're not the kind who would be waiting, not for anybody
you're not the kind who would be waiting not for anybody not even me
just one time
I could go off right now
I want to get off one time and not apologize
you gotta steal the time of a life that's passing by
not for sale (3x)
2. Losing a Whole Year
(Losing a whole year)
(Losing a whole year)
I remember you and me used to spend
The whole goddamned day in bed
(Losing a whole year)
Hiding in your room we'd lay like dogs
And the phone would ring like a joke that's left unsaid
(Losing a whole year)
Rich daddy left you with a parachute
Your voice sounds like money and your face is cute
But your daddy left you with no love and
You touch everything with a velvet glove and
Now you want to try a life of sin
You want to be down with the down and in
Always copping my truths
I kind of get the feeling like I'm being used
And now I realize that you never heard
One goddamned word I ever said
(Losing a whole year)
(Losing a whole year)
I took your stuff and put it in the basement
When I found out what the smile on your face meant
I've seen you pop that check, babe
CRANING your neck at my car wreck
And it always seems the juice used to flow
In the car, in the kitchen you were good to go
Now we're stuck with the tube
A sink full of dishes and some aqualube
I remember you and me used to spend
The whole goddamned day in bed
In bed
(Losing a whole year)
And not in defense then you're on the attack
When you start talking, I hear the Prozac
Convinced you've found your place
With the pierced queer teens in Cyberspace
When you were yourself it always tasted sweet
But sour turned into a routine deceit
Well this drama is a bore
And I dont wanna play no more
Go away! Go away
(Losing a whole year)
I remember you and me used to spend the whole goddamned day in bed
In bed, In bed
3. Can you take me
All I want right now
Is the time when we slept on the floor
You said right here right now
Is all I am living for
I got the velocity and all I need now is the mass
I just want you to ask
Can you take me, into days I never knew
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot me and you
Cause a riot's overdue
And now these days I wonder, why we're holding back on bliss
You blasphemy everything you see, I just want to gi ve you a kiss
I want the infidels head on a pike
Riding on a motorbike
You and me are alike
Make it bigger and wider
I'm your mega collider
Bust you out, I have come to bust you out
I've come
Live in doubt doubt no longer live in doubt
No one
Humbly now, I ask for no resistance
And maybe now, oh just maybe now
We can bridge the distance
Don't back down, don't compromise
Don't close your eyes
Here it is do or die
And you still believe the lie
And the world is for the meek
Well this mouse is going to squek
Yes I am dying to be freaked
4. Wounded
the guy who put his hands on you,
has got nothing to do with me.
And the bruises that you feel will heal
and i hope you come around,
cause we're missing you.
you used to speak so easy,
now you're afaid to talk to me.
Its like walking with the wounded.
Carrying that weight way too far,
the concrete pulled you down so hard
out there with the wounded,
We're missing you.
Well I never claimed to understand
what happens after dark,
but my fingers catch the sparks
at the thought of touching you,
When you're wounded
lemme break it down til i force the issue,
we miss your face and you know i wish you would
come back down to the Delva Bar
you tell em' ,"Thats just my battle scar."
I wanna kiss you, and knock em down like we used to
you're a marigold
till you're walking down shaking that ass again,
then you walk on, baby, walk on, you walk on.
on and on
you're an angel in the pit with her hands in the air
and we're missing you.
Now its fall and your shoulders get tighter
nervous flicks on your lighter...boots
your pissed off poets
your women's groups
and the friends with you we should've known this fool
well i guess we missed the mark,
still my fingers catch the sparks at the thought of
them touching you
when your wounded
Lemme break it down till i force the issue
you never come around and you know we miss you
well nobody took your pride away
i said," thats something people say."
Back down the bully to the back of the bus,
cause its time for them to be scared of us
till you're yelling how we're living cause you got the ball
and then you rock on, baby, rock on, you rock on.
on and on.
you're a summertime hottie with her socks in the air,
you're screaming i dont care baby i dont care no
you say you dont know, you say here we go now,
all i know is we're missing you
you say you dont know, you say here we go now,
all i know is we're missing you
show up, show up wounded
show up, show up wounded
5. Never Let You Go
There's every good reason for letting you go
She's sneaky and smoked out
And it's starting to show
I never let you go
I never let you turn around, our back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other
You say that I’ve changed
Well maybe I did
But even if I changed
What's wrong with it
I never let you go
I never let you turn around, our back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other
And our friends are gone and gone
And all the time moves on and on
And all I know is it's wrong, it's wrong
If there's a reason, it's lost on me
Maybe we’ll be friends, I guess we'll see
I never let you go
I never let you turn around, our back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other
I remember the stupid things, the mood rings, the bracelets and the beads
Nickels and dimes, yours and mine, did you cash in all your dreams
You don't dream for me, no
You don't dream for me, no
But I still feel you pulse like sonar from the days in the waves
That girl is like a sunburn
I would like to save
The girl is like a sunburn
I would like to save
She's like a sunburn
6. Bornfire
A little early in spring
A bonfire ring, she's shivering alone
I bumped into you somehow
You can wear, my duct taped vest
It's my party best, its really all I own
Everything's changing now
And I am high like a star thats flying
Cassiopeia
Everything's changing now
She said it's alright
She said no, don't die alone
There's no goodbyes
Lightning comes and lightning goes
And its all the same to me
Let it in
Cuz I want you so
I can hardly breathe, or release
Into on thousand pieces
I have broke in to, over you
Night shade will soon be gone
but I keep burning on
If nothing else I am myself
It's all i have to give
Everything's changing now
And we could live like kings if we take the risk
Or we could live with doubt
Everything's changing now
Oh now
Come on, come on
Lightning comes and lightning goes
And its all the same to me
Let it in
Cuz I want you so
I can hardly breathe, or release
Into on thousand pieces
I have broke in to, over you
Night shade will soon be gone
but I keep burning on
Some girls will break you down
Just to see you come undone
Everythings changing now
Maybe you and I are cursed
Or maybe you and I are one
And thats the universe
Spin round, keep changing
Lightning comes and lightning goes
And its all the same to me
Let it in
Cuz I want you so
I can hardly breathe, or release
Into on thousand pieces
I have broke in to, over you
Night shade will soon be gone
but I keep burning on and on and on
7. Motorcycle Drive By
Summer time and the wind is blowing outside
in lower Chelsea
And I don't know what I'm doing in this city
The sun is always in my eyes
It crashes through the windows
And I'm sleeping on the couch
When I came to visit you
That's when I knew
That I could never have you
I knew that before you did
Still I'm the one who's stupid
And there's this burning
Like there's always been
I've never been so alone
And I've
Never been so alive
Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by
The cigarette ash flies in your eyes and you don't mind
you smile
And say the world it doesn't fit with you
I don't believe you
You're so serene
Careening through the universe
Your axis on a tilt
You're guiltless and free
I hope you take a piece of me with you
And there's things I'd like to do
That you don't believe in
I would like to build something
But you'll never see it happen
And there's this burning
Like there's always been
I've never been so alone
And I've
I've never been so alive
And there's this burning
There is this burning
(yeaa)
Where's the soul I want to know
New York City is evil
The surface is everything
But I could never do that
Someone would see through that
And this is the last time
We'll be friends again
And I'll get over you
And you'll wonder who I am
And there's this burning,
Just like there's always been
I've never been so alone, alone
And I've, and I've
I've never been so alive
So alive
I go home to the coast it starts to rain I paddle out on the water
Alone
Taste the salt and taste the pain
I'm not thinking of you again
Summer dies and swells rise
The sun goes down in my eyes
See this rolling wave
Darkly coming
To take me
Home
And I never been so alone
And I've never been so alive
8. Graduate
Can I Graduate
Can I Graduate
Can I look at faces that I meet
Can I get my punk-ass off the street
I've been living on for so long
(Can I Graduate)
To the bastard talking down to me
Your whipping boy calamity
Cross your fingers, I'm going to knock it all down
(Can I Graduate)
Echo fading, We can't let go
She goes walking by in slow-mo'
Sell your Heart out for a buck
Go on, Fade out, Before I get stuck
Talking to somebody like you
Do you live the days you go through
Will this song live on long after we do
(Can I Graduate)
Can I look at faces that I meet
Can I get my punk-ass off the street
Won't die on the vine. I wanna knock it all down
(Can I Graduate)
Echo fading, candle blow
Did you flash out long ago
Cross my fingers, I don't know
Someone poked you down below
Can I Graduate
Can I Graduate
Can I Graduate
Can I Graduate
Can I Graduate
Can I get my punk-ass off the street
Can I look at faces that I meet
I'm not waiting here for you to fly (I mind)
Will this song live on long after we do (I mind)
9. Jumper
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
You could cut ties with all the lies, that you've been living in,
And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand.
I would understand.
The angry boy,
a bit too insane,
Icing over a secret pain,
You know you don't belong,
You're the first to fight,
You're way too loud,
You're The flash of light,
on a burial shroud,
I know something's wrong,
Well everyone I know has got a reason,
to say,
put the past away,
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
You could cut ties with all the lies,
That you've been living in,
And if you do not want to see me again,
I would understand,
I would understand.
And well he's on the table,
and he's gone to code,
And I do not think anyone knows,
What they are doing here,
And your friends have left you,
You've been dismissed.
I never thought it would come to this,
and I, I want you to know,
Everyone's got to face down the demons,
Maybe today,
We can put the past away,
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend.
You could cut ties with all the lies,
that you've been living in,
And if you do not want to see me again,
I would understand,
I would understand,
I would understand...
(I would understand)
(I would understand)
(Understand)
Ya ya ya ya ya...
Can you put the past away?
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
I would understand
(I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,)
I would understand
(I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,)
And I would understand
(I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,)
I would understand
(I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,)
And I would understand...
10. Monotov's Private Opera
Every moment of your life
Is a chance to get it right
Any moment you've been living in
You could turn it on like a light
All the weight of the years
Has got me burstin' into tears
Standin' here with nothin'
I stand alone inside my fears
Like an atom reveals a deeper state
Well I swear for me tonight
It's not too late
To tell you baby
It's you and only you and no one else
And I'll mean it
Even when I'm talking to myself
I said maybe, it's you and only you and no one else
How I miss Moscow
Those people really know
How to have a good time
In a mixed up state of mind
And Monotov's Private Opera is closed
So I guess I'll go home now
Cause there's no wheres else to go
And I will tell you baby
It's you and only you and no one else
And I will mean it
Even when I'm talking to myself
I said baby, it's you and only you and no one else
You and no one else
Now I'm stuck inside a poem
And then I'm walkin by myself
In the dark, all alone
And these actors and dramatists
They won't send me home
Well, maybe I'm like my father
Strung out on something or another
Held to a standard
We were always sinking under
And maybe I'm like my mother
She shattered cause no one loved her
Maybe I, Maybe I am like no other
And some moments are more real than the books I've read
And a good woman, maybe she meant what she said
Cause to feel you now ya know, it goes straight to my head
So I'll tell you baby
It's you and only you and no one else
And I will mean it, even when I'm talkin' to myself
I said baby, it's you and only you and no one else
Talkin' to myself
Talkin' to myself
And everything changed in a day
And I know another one on the way
And I'll tell you
Everything changed in a day
And I know another one is on the way
Encore:
11. Don't Believe a Word
Cigarette fingers ember stain
Incriminating notes on a paper chain
Did you ever get the feeling that you’ve been cheated?
I wanna bust out I’ve not been defeated
You’re all strong bones they hold no water
Got the big fake smile, you just get sadder
Time wound down and you've been cached
Because half measured shows are all half ass
How did we ever end up this way?
And I fall numb in disarray
I’m cultivating my ignorance
Didn’t we have some standards once?
I hate you and your cowboy boots oh
You wanted clever, and you settled for stupid
You threw it all away so indiscreet
Like a bad boy ready so dirty little cheat
It’s a shallow vicious state of mind
Like an angry joke, getting dumped online
Give me back my photos will you?
You fucking whore I’ll kill you
(Don’t believe it) Don’t believe a word
(Don’t believe) Just keep on breathing
(Don’t believe it) Cause pretty soon
(Don’t believe) That dead King George will wake up screaming
Our soundtrack is the slowest thing
Some will ache, replace the sting
Rap stars brag about shooting each other?
Whatever happened to brother brother
We like thugs when they attack
And we like crime when it’s black on black
And isn’t this you you cold hearted fake?
Isn’t this more than you can take?
(Don’t believe it) Don’t believe a word
(Don’t believe) Just walk on by
(Don’t believe it) This mobile gas
(Don’t believe) And then we all can all get high
(Don’t believe it) Don’t believe a word
(Don’t believe) Just keep on breathing
(Don’t believe it) Cause pretty soon
(Don’t believe) That dead King George will wake up screaming
Wake up screaming (hahaha)
Wake up screaming (Ohhhhhh)
YEAH! (yeah!)
YEAH! (yeah!)
YEAH! (yeah!)
YEAH! (yeah!)
Round up on the big lynch pins
I hope we don’t get fooled again
All sensation makes no sense
You got some insane confidence
I can’t find myself I can’t change the station
In this cold damp cellar in this pity nation
Scandalize now with such ease
America, give me back my keys
Say hello to soldiers squeeze
The trigger on fake enemies
We're all aboard, and all alone
Till you come home
Bring us home
(Don’t believe it) Don’t believe a word
(Don’t believe) Just keep on breathing
(Don’t believe it) Cause pretty soon
(Don’t believe) That dead King George will wake up screaming
(Don’t believe it) Don’t believe a word
(Keep on breathing) Don’t believe a word
(Don’t believe it) Don’t believe a word
(Don’t believe it) Don’t believe a word
12. Semi-Charmed Life
I'm packed and I'm holding
I'm smiling, she living, she golden
She lives for me
Says she lives for me
Ovation
her own motivation
She comes round and she goes down on me
And I make her smile
It's like a drug for you
Do ever what you want to do
Coming over you
Keep on smiling,
What we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
I come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games she play,
She said
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life (Baby, baby)
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye
The sky it was gold, it was rose
I was taking tips of it to my nose
And I wish I could get back there
Some place back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal meth
Will lift you up until you break
It won't stop
I won't come down,
I keep stock
With a tick-tock rhythm
A bump for the drop
And then I FUCKED up
I took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again
And then I bumped again
I said
How do I get back there to
The place where I fell asleep inside you?
How do I get myself back to
The place where you said
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life (Baby, baby)
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye
I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling
An earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When I'm with you I feel like I could die
And that would be all right
All right
And when the plane came in
She said she was crashing
The velvet it rips
In the city
We tripped
On the urge to feel alive
But now I'm struggling to survive
Those days you were wearing that velvet dress
You're the priestess, I must confess
Those little red panties
They pass the test
Slides up around the belly
Face down on the mattress
One
And you hold me
And we're broken
Still it's all that I want to do, just a little now
Feel myself, head made of the ground
I'm scared, I'm not coming down, no no
And I won't run for my life
She's got her jaws now locked down in a smile
But nothing is all right
All right
I want something else
To get me through this
Life. Baby
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye (4x)
The sky it was gold, it was rose
I was takin' sips of it to my nose
And I wish I could get there
someplace, back there
In the place we use to start our lives
I want something else
13. God of Wine
Every thought that I repent,
There's another chip you haven't spent.
And you're cashing them all in.
Where do we begin, to get clean again.
Can we get clean again.
I walk home alone with you, in the mood you're born into.
Sometimes you let me in, and I take it on the chin.
I can't get clean again. I wannna know, can we get clean again,
The God of Wine comes crashing through the headlights of a car that
Took you farther than you thought you'd ever want to go.
We can't get back again.
You can't get back again.
She takes a drink and then she waits,
The alcohol it permeates.
And soon the cells give way, and cancels out the day.
I can't keep it all together.
(It's the wound, stuck underneath the moon.)
I know
I know
I know
I know
I know
I know
I know
I can't keep it all together.
(It's the wound, stuck underneath the moon.)
And the siren's song that is your madness,
Holds a truth I can't erase, All alone on your face.
Every glamorous sunrise, throws the planets out of line.
A star sign out of whack, a fraudulent zodiac.
And the God of Wine is crouched down in my room. You let me down, I said it.
Now I'm going down, and you're not even around.
And I said a no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I can't keep it all together.
(It's the wound, stuck underneath the moon.)
I know
I know
I know
I know
I know
I know
I know
I can't keep it all together,
(It's the wound, stuck underneath the moon.)
And there's a memory of a window, looking through I see you.
Searching for something I could never give you.
There's someone who understands you more than I do.
A sadness I can't erase, all alone on your face.
