Whoa, your voice is hoarse / of course didn’t you catch us dancing in the street? / i’m beat up / but you should hear the other guy / he’s got a black eye / and a cigarette to match / his voice is scratched / and he clapped his hands too hard / careful where you snap those fingers / you could poke an eye out! / and when the courtyard sounds like violence / you just sing your cooldown / uptown the sharks can’t prove you wrong / kid, you’ve got your best shoes on, come on / didn’t you catch that dancing in the street? / you’re beat up / when you could dance away your life / without a black eye or a worn down soul to match / his voice is scratched / but you clapped your hands too hard / REPEAT CHORUS /

caution straight ahead / the devil’s eyes turn red in disguise as the brake lights / less than feet away / instincts take control / foot cuts to the floor / there goes your head through the windshield / pay the debts to which you owe / and hope the price of your soul / was worth the wealth that made you whole / that made you whole / “save me,” you scream / shut your mouth and burn in hell / show me mercy / shut your mouth and burn in hell / assless gown of white / cold flourescent light as you’re shown all the details / mapped from years ago / gifts from phds / fall to break both knees / cuz this will be long and painful / pay the debts to which you owe / and hope the price of your soul / was worth the wealth that made you whole / that made you whole / REPEAT CHORUS / to whom it may concern / this is what you’ve earned / you’ve got the papers to prove it / signed “sincerely you” / neatly knotted noose / kicking off both shoes / now you can swing to the silence / pay the debts to which you owe / and hope the price of your soul / was worth the wealth that made you whole / that made you whole / REPEAT CHORUS /

That sting on the back of your tongue / Isn’t the poison in your drink / It’s the poison of what you think / Versus the time it takes you to speak / So take your finger and thumb / Blow me away at Grosse Pointe Blank / Cuz it’s been ten years since you said goodbye to me That way / I’ll see you in hell / Save me a seat / Front row, center so / I don’t miss a beat / I’d say anything to grab your attention / And promise that you’ll drop my name tonight / There’s almost anything I’d do for attention / If this is living well / Then the revenge of which they speak / Must be ten times the time between / A / couple of these awful things / So take your finger and thumb / Blow me away at Grosse Pointe Blank / Cuz it’s been last time since you said goodbye and then / See you in ten / REPEAT CHORUS / I see that you’re made up / And you’re all covered in makeup / That’s the cleverest way to keep me from asking questions, like: / How do you spell a world like “compliment” And can you take one; I don’t give a shit If / I see you in hell / Save me a seat / Front row, center so / I don’t miss a beat / REPEAT CHORUS /

downton is still smoking from the wreckage / it’s fallen down / it’s fallen down / not a soul within these city limits / deserves a savior / willing words of hope to match / cuz they’ve burned my excuse / the one that kept me from killing / they’ve drowned it out / they’re rush street bound / but what the hell’s the hurry / how in the world will i tell my mom i hate myself? / with no one to save I’ve lost the willingness to save myself / i made up my mind / and watched my usefulness unmake itself / how in the world will i tell my mom i hate myself? / how rock and roll is that, my love? / downtown’s got this subtle sense of rhythm / so what’s the rush? / i’ve had enough / mine’s the hand, the fist that kept it beating / but gave it bruises / and now it’s not the same old place / (sweet home, don’t go) / cuz they’ve burned my excuse / the one that kept me from killing / they’ve drowned it out / they’re rush street bound / but what the hell’s the hurry / repeat chorus /

Danger Boy

It’s hard to walk with your foot in your mouth / It’s harder to talk with your teeth kicked out / So get wise before you make yourself stupid / And fly right, before it’s harder to move it / Cuz I can’t tell you who you’ll be tomorrow / If you won’t make the time for me today / She said to me / All I’m sure of is that someone named me Danger / I swear we met / Once before, but just can’t shake that you’re a stranger / say one for bad / jsut one more for better / We’re better off / Without me so forget that we remember / Forget that we remember why they call me / It’s heart to heart when you need attention / But you’re not too smart and not to mention / You’ve got poise, but you’re posture is wanting / And you make noise could you promise me one thing / you won’t tell me who i’ll be tomorrow / cuz you don’t know the half of me today / i said to her / repeat chorus / and you’d throw caution to the wind / you’ve auctioned off your sense of friction / put the pedal to the floor / then take the road without conviction / kiss your ass goodbye / repeat chorus /

I’D GIVE ALL SIX DAYS TO BE IN YOUR ROOM / HEAR THE SOUND OF SLEEP / AND ALL I BREATHE IS YOU / AND WHEN IT’S NIGHT ENOUGH TO HEAR THE SNOW / I’LL SING YOU WARM, I SWEAR / TONIGHT YOU’LL BE THE ONE TO BURN / WITH HEAT I HAD TO EARN / BY TELLING YOU / HOW MUCH THIS WEATHER REALLY MEANS TO ME / LIKE WORDS THAT WE MADE UP / AND WE SCRIBBLED ON A BUNK BED / BRINGING BACK THE HURT I SAID TO YOU / ‘TIL I FORGOT IT’S SATURDAY / IF I HAD JUST ONE MORE NIGHT I WOULD / REPEAT CHORUS / IF I COULD COVER YOU AGAIN / AND BE THE ONE TO BEND / I’M TELLING YOU / THAT EVEN IF I BREAK YOU MAKE ME WHOLE / MY HAND WOULD HOLD YOUR HEART / AND I’D NEVER LET IT GO THIS TIME / JUST AS LONG AS I CAN SING TO YOU / REPEAT CHORUS /

Blood stains on your purse / By black eye still hurts / From the bricks that you hit me with / You’ve been holding them way too long / Tuesday morning shake / Like my heart did break / When you looked at me / And said to me that I would write this song / And I never thought that I could feel / This much in a year and heal / Just to break again / Late Night’s calling my name, so / I’ll just laugh away these tears / These fears of losing you / Came true when you said Goodnight / Ticket stubs cover my bed / Thoughts of you in my head / Like the argument / When you were right / And I was oh so wrong / I’m face down on your floor / And locking all the doors / That lead to me and the irony / That I’m writing this song / REPEAT CHORUS / Now I’m misery’s company / You’ll be sorry when / I am keeping my misery warm / Feeding flames of sorrow and pain / These Second City matches can’T burn your face / AND I CAN’T THROW YOUR PICTURES AWAY / REPEAT CHORUS / REPEAT BRIDGE / AND I CAN’T THROW YOUR PICTURES AWAY /

Beside Myself

Yesterday, I started decomposing / And I know, it won’t be much longer / Until I’m all alone and rotting / In my bed, wishing I was stronger / Cuz you left me behind / Wishing I was there right by your side / I can recall the thoughts we shared / And the times I thought you cared / For me, for good / But you cursed me once again / With these thoughts inside my head / Of me, and you, and thoughts of yesterday / I think I finished breathing / And my lungs are slowly getting smaller / My eyes have started rolling backwards / In my head, they can’t go any further / But I’d leave them behind / If I could just be there right by your side / REPEAT Chorus / Couldn’t be more alone / Lying here beside myself / Losing my head and my mind / REPEAT Verse 1 / REPEAT Chorus /

If I could sing the words to say to you / And then we’d come unglued / Another chance to mess this up / I’m changing with your faves and your moods / But bad things come in twos / Another chance to pull us down / REPEAT verse / Cross my arms and hope you cry / The truth is that I always lie / Cross my arms and hope you cry / The truth is that I always lie To you / Whoa-oh to you / The sky looks something red to me tonight / No vacancies in sight / Your vanity’s what fucked this up / You’re not the only one who sings in twos / You’re bad thing one I’m two / My sanity’s what pulled us down / REPEAT CHORUS / I can’t see me walking down that road again / That’s the last thing that I need in the world / It’s you / Whoa, you / REPEAT CHORUS / CROSS MY ARMS AND HOPE YOU CRY / THE TRUTH IS THAT I ALWAYS LIE / But I’m all arms to take you home / Cuz I don’t wanna sleep alone tonight /
