It’s good to know the rules
So you know how to break them.
It’s a game of fools anyway.
The drugs and sex and drink won’t lead you to fame DUMB
But you can fake it all the way.
I’ll remember you.You’ll remember me I’ll be stuck in the painting.
I’ll remember you.You’ll remember me I’ll be stuck.
The better you do, the better you’ll fake it.
They won’t want you until you’re dead.
You can’t trust the monsters living
deep inside of your head
Just join them all instead.
I’ll remember you.You’ll remember me, I’ll be stuck in the painting
I’ll remember you.You’ll remember me, I’ll be stuck...
Oooooooooo oooooooooooo

why?
in a faded/fated world is the heart so cruel?
now
that you’ve got all you want who can stop you?
and since we’re all out of touch can i come back to meet you?
I'm high, like a winged dove can you beat this blue?
you’re stained
red from the blood that’s been stolen from you
and since I’m all out of luck can i come back to meet you?
who’s got a clean slate heart? mine’s been broken all along all along...
we try
we win we lose what else can we do?
I wake
up everyday wishing for you
but how can i
be the one
that i’m supposed to?
when all of it never adds up
the way i’d hope it to
‘cause since
we’ve been out of touch i’ve found someone new.

I'm all out of losin'
I'm all out of cryin'
I'm all out of heartbreak
I'm all out of you
I don't want no diamond ring
It just don't mean a thing to me
I just want (a man)/(someone) to sing me songs of lovin' the whole night through
And I'd give it all up
for a little more love
I wore my pretty dress
But I wish I was wearing less
We don't have too much time
NO
with hearts on the line
SO forget what you're doing
won't you listen to me and get right by my side
I'm all out of losing
I'm all out of crying
I'm all out of heartbreak
I'm all out of you
We're all out of losing
We're all out of crying
We're all out of heartbreak
We're all out of blues.

go to the place wait for my word
if it gets too late know I’m still coming
for the tide
has come in
and I don’t want to go on because I don’t belong no I don’t belong
when you forget my face
after all the lust
I’ll be ok
I was only meant to muse you
I’m the only one that knows the way to your sorrow
and when it’s gone and we’re done i’ll leave a light on
the only truth you’ll find in you. erase your fears and you’ll start over
go to the place
wait for the word
it’ll be ok

I’ve got to, I’ve got to find you tonight I’ve really got to get my fix
or I’ll just expire
I’ve got to
feel your gaze burning through my skin
I’ll get a moment and then need it again, need it again, need it again.
How do you do what you do to my self?
The problem is we do nothing we do nothing.
the fate’s aren’t clear and
I’m all sorts of beyond it
not sure right from wrong
as long as you’re
near me
I’ve got to feel your gaze burning through my skin
I’ll get a moment
and then need it again, need you again I’ll need you again, need you again
How do you do what you do, to myself?
just breathe
you’ll be alright
if the fates allow it...
you’ll be alright
and it’s forcing it’s way out and it’s forcing it’s way out
When all the time is passed
and you sit and reflect all the memories seem to be nothing
but a dream
but a dream.
but a dream.
but a dream.
Lookout
How do you do what you do?

if it were the end of the world
would i be your girl?
could you give me something to look forward to?
and the rockets will pass as we’re trying to guess how much we’ve got until....
of all the chances break through glancing
even when all words escape you somehow find the way straight through (from me to you)
i’ll be right here
ready to quiet your cares
i’ll try (if I fail) at least I knew you
*
if you/i never told me/you how was i to ever know?
if it the were the end of the world all the cryin’/all of the hurt wouldn’t feel so bad wrapped up in you
and if the threats prove pointless maybe we’ll start to laugh straight through (from me to you)

The Earth
it spins, it'll spin
but we're still on it.
Do the best that you can
for the ones you're loving
We need power we need grace
to make it worth it
So get out of the way!
You and Me, You and Me, You and Me Are.
I've never had this feeling before
I can't ignore it
How did it come to this?
You and Me, You and Me, You and Me Are.
