The End
Now come one come all to this tragic
affair
Wipe off that makeup, what's in is despair
So throw on the black
dress, mix in with the lot
You might wake up and notice you're someone you're
not
If you look in the mirror and don't like what you see
You can find
out firsthand what it's like to be me
So gather 'round piggies and kiss this
goodbye
I'd encourage your smiles I'll expect you won't cry
Another
contusion, my funeral jag
Here's my resignation, I'll serve it in
drag
You've got front row seats to the penitence ball
When I grow up I
want to be nothing at all!
I said yeah, yeah!
I said yeah,
yeah!
C'mon C'mon C'mon I said
(Save me!) Get me the hell out of
here
(Save me!) Too young to die and my dear
(You can't!) If you can hear
me just walk away and
(Take me!)
Dead!
Yeah!
And if your heart stops
beating
I'll be here wondering
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending
of your life
And if you get to heaven
I'll be here waiting, babe
Did
you get what you deserve?
The end, and if your life won't wait
Then your
heart can't take this
Have you heard the news that you're dead?
No one
ever had much nice to say
I think they never liked you anyway
Oh take me
from the hospital bed
Wouldn't it be grand? It ain't exactly what you
planned.
And wouldn't it be great If we were dead?
Ohh
dead.
Tongue-tied and oh so squeamish
You never fell in love
Did
you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life
And if you* get to
heaven
I'll be here waiting, babe
Did you get what you deserve?
The
end, and if your life won't wait
Then your heart can't take this
Have
you heard the news that you're dead?
No one ever had much nice to say
I
think they never liked you anyway
Oh take me from the hospital
bed
Wouldn't it be grand to take a pistol by the hand?
And wouldn't it be
great if we were dead?
And in my honest observation
During this
operation
Found a complication in your heart
So long, 'Cause now you've
got (now you've got)
Maybe just two weeks to live
Is that the most the
both of you can give?
One, two, one two three four!
LA LA LA LA
LA!
LA LA LA LA LA LA!
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!
Well come on,
LA LA
LA LA LA!
LA LA LA LA LA LA!
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!
Oh motherfucker,
If life ain't just a joke (LA LA LA LA LA!)
Then why are we laughing?
(LA LA LA LA LA LA!)
If life ain't just a joke (LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA!)
Then why are we laughing?
If life ain't just a joke (LA LA LA LA LA!)
Then why are we laughing? (LA LA LA LA LA LA!)
If life ain't just a joke
(LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!)
Then why am I dead?
DEAD!
This Is How I Disappear
GO!
To un-explain the
unforgivable,
Drain all the blood and give the kids a show.
By streetlight
this dark night,
A séance down below.
There're things that I have done,
You never should ever know!
And without you is how I
disappear,
And live my life alone forever now.
And without you is how I
disappear,
And live my life alone forever now.
Who walks among the
famous living dead,
Drowns all the boys and girls inside your bed.
And if
you could talk to me,
Tell me if it's so,
That all the good girls go to
heaven.
Well, heaven knows
That without you is how I disappear,
And
live my life alone forever now.
And without you is how I disappear,
And
live my life alone forever now.
Can you hear me cry out to you?
Words
I thought I'd choke on figure out.
I'm really not so with you anymore.
I'm
just a ghost,
So I can't hurt you anymore,
So I can't hurt you
anymore.
And now, you wanna see how far down I can sink?
Let me go,
fuck!
So, you can, well now so, you can
I'm so far away from you.
Well
now so, you can.
And without you is how I disappear,
And without you
is how I disappear,
Whoa whoa... (And without you is how I disappear)
Whoa
whoa... (And without you... is how, is how, is how...)
Forever, forever
now!
The Sharpest Lives
Well it rains and it pours
When
you're out on your own
If I crash on the couch
Can I sleep in my
clothes?
'Cause I've spent the night dancing
I'm drunk, I suppose
If it
looks like I'm laughing
I'm really just asking to leave
This alone,
you're in time for the show
You're the one that I need
I'm the one that
you loathe
You can watch me corrode like a beast in repose
'Cause I love
all the poison
Away with the boys in the band
I've really been on a
bender and it shows
So why don't you blow me a kiss before she
goes?
Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away
from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest
to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to
rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the
sane abandoned me
There's a place in the dark where the animals go
You
can take off your skin in the cannibal glow
Juliet loves the beat and the
lust it commands
Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands,
Romeo
I've really been on a bender and it shows
So why don't you blow
me a kiss before she goes?
Give me a shot to remember
And you can take
all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives
are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the
sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you
can leave like the sane abandoned me
[x2]
Welcome To The Black Parade
When I was a young
boy,
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band.
He
said, "Son when you grow up,
would you be the savior of the broken,
the
beaten and the damned?"
He said "Will you defeat them,
your demons, and
all the non-believers,
the plans that they have made?"
"Because one day
I'll leave you,
A phantom to lead you in the summer,
To join The Black
Parade."
When I was a young boy,
My father took me into the city
To
see a marching band.
He said, "Son when you grow up,
would you be the
savior of the broken,
the beaten and the damned?"
Sometimes I get the
feeling she's watching over me.
And other times I feel like I should
go.
And through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets.
And
when you're gone we want you all to know.
We'll carry on,
We'll carry
on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry
on
We'll carry on
And in my heart I can't contain it
The anthem won't
explain it.
A world that sends you reeling from decimated dreams
Your
misery and hate will kill us all.
So paint it black and take it back
Let's
shout it loud and clear
Defiant to the end we hear the call
To carry
on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your
memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and
defeated
Your weary widow marches
On and on we carry through the
fears
Ooh oh ohhhh
Disappointed faces of your peers
Ooh oh
ohhhh
Take a look at me cause I could not care at all
Do or die,
you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and
try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part
I won't
explain or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar
Give a
cheer for all the broken
Listen here, because it's who we are
I'm just a
man, I'm not a hero
Just a boy, who had to sing this song
I'm just a man,
I'm not a hero
I! don't! care!
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
And
though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll
carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches
on
Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take
my heart
Go and try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play
this part (We'll carry on)
Do or die, you'll never make me (We'll carry
on)
Because the world will never take my heart (We'll carry on)
Go and
try, you'll never break me (We'll carry)
We want it all, we wanna play this
part (We'll carry on)
I Don't Love You
Well, when you go
Don't ever
think I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off
to find another way
And after all this time that you still owe
You're
still the good-for-nothing I don't know
So take your gloves and get
out
Better get out
While you can
When you go
Would you even
turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"
Sometimes I
cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless
beating
But baby when they knock you
Down and out
It's where you oughta
stay
And after all the blood that you still owe
Another dollar's just
another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up
While you
can
Whoa, whooa
When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't
love you
Like I did
Yesterday"
Well come on, come on
When
you go
Would you have the guts to say
"I don't love you
Like I loved
you
Yesterday"
I don't love you
Like I loved
you
Yesterday
I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday
House Of Wolves
Well, I know a thing about
contrition,
Because I got enough to spare.
And I'll be granting your
permission,
'Cause you haven't got a prayer.
Well I said hey, hey
hallelujah,
I'm gonna come on sing the praise.
And let the spirit come on
through ya,
We got innocence for days!
Well, I think I'm gonna burn in
hell,
Everybody burn the house right down.
And say, ha
What I wanna
say
Tell me I'm an angel,
Take this to my grave.
Tell me I'm a bad
man,
Kick me like a stray.
Tell me I'm an angel,
Take this to my
grave.
(S-I-N, I S-I-N
S-I-N, I S-I-N
S-I-N, I S-I-N
S-I-N, I
S-I-N)
You play ring around the ambulance,
Well like you never gave a
care.
So get the choir boys around you,
It's a compliment, I swear.
And
I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down,
I wanna hear you sing the
praise,
I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down,
We got innocence for
days!
Well, I think I'm gonna burn in hell,
Everybody burn the house
right down.
And say, ha
What I wanna say
Tell me I'm an
angel,
Take this to my grave.
Tell me I'm a bad man,
Kick me like a
stray.
Tell me I'm an angel,
Take this to my grave.
You better run
like the devil,
'Cause they're never gonna leave you alone!
You better
hide up in the alley,
'Cause they're never gonna find you a home!
And as
the blood runs down the walls,
You see me creepin' up these halls.
I've
been a bad motherfucker
Tell your sister I'm another
Go! Go!
Go!
And I said, say,
What I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel,
Take
this to my grave.
Tell me I'm a bad man,
Kick me like a stray.
Tell me
I'm an angel,
Take this to my grave.
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad
man.
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man.
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad,
bad man.
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man.
So get up!
So get
out!
S-I-N, I S-I-N!
Cancer
Turn away,
If you could get me a drink
Of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt Marie
Help
her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favorite colors,
My
sisters and my brothers, still,
I will not kiss you,
'Cause the hardest
part of this is leaving you.
Now turn away,
'Cause I'm awful just to
see
'Cause all my hairs abandoned all my body,
Oh, my agony,
Know
that I will never marry,
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo
But counting
down the days to go
It just ain't living
And I just hope you
know
That if you say (if you say)
Goodbye today (goodbye today)
I'd
ask you to be true (cause I'd ask you to be true)
'Cause the hardest part
of this is leaving you
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
Mama
Mama, we all go to hell.
Mama, we all go to
hell.
I'm writing this letter and wishing you well,
Mama, we all go to
hell.
Oh, well, now,
Mama, we're all gonna die.
Mama, we're all
gonna die.
Stop asking me questions, I'd hate to see you cry,
Mama, we're
all gonna die.
And when we go don't blame us, yeah.
We'll let the
fires just bathe us, yeah.
You made us, oh, so famous.
We'll never let you
go.
And when you go don't return to me my love.
Mama, we're all full
of lies.
Mama, we're meant for the flies.
And right now they're building a
coffin your size,
Mama, we're all full of lies.
Well Mother, what the
war did to my legs and to my tongue,
You should've raised a baby girl,
I
should've been a better son.
If you could coddle the infection
They can
amputate at once.
You should've been,
I could have been a better
son.
And when we go don't blame us, yeah.
We'll let the fires just
bathe us, yeah.
You made us, oh, so famous.
We'll never let you
go.
She said: "You ain't no son of mine
For what you've done they're
gonna find
A place for you
And just you mind your manners when you
go.
And when you go, don't return to me, my love."
That's right.
Mama, we all go to hell.
Mama, we all go to hell.
It's really
quite pleasant
Except for the smell,
Mama, we all go to hell.
2 - 3
- 4
Mama! Mama! Mama! Ohhh!
Mama! Mama! Mama! Ma...
And if you
would call me your sweetheart,
I'd maybe then sing you a song
But
there's shit that I've done with this fuck of a gun,
You would cry out your
eyes all along.
We're damned after all.
Through fortune and flame we
fall.
And if you can stay then I'll show you the way,
To return from the
ashes you call.
We all carry on (We all carry on)
When our brothers in
arms are gone (When our brothers in arms are gone)
So raise your glass
high
For tomorrow we die,
And return from the ashes you call.
Sleep
Some say, now suffer all the children
And
walk away a savior,
Or a madman and polluted
From gutter
institutions.
Don't you breathe for me,
Undeserving of your
sympathy,
Cause there ain't no way that I'm sorry for what I did.
And
through it all
How could you cry for me?
Cause I don't feel bad about
it.
So shut your eyes,
Kiss me goodbye,
And sleep.
Just
sleep.
The hardest part is letting go of
Your dreams.
A drink
for the horror that I'm in,
For the good guys, and the bad guys,
For the
monsters that I've been.
Three cheers for tyranny,
Unapologetic
apathy,
Cause there ain't no way that I'm coming back again.
And
through it all
How could you cry for me?
Cause I don't feel bad about
it.
So shut your eyes,
Kiss me goodbye,
And sleep.
Just
sleep.
The hardest parts
The awful things that I've seen.
Just
sleep.
Just sleep.
Just sleep.
Just sleep.
Just sleep.
Just
sleep.
Wake up!
Teenagers
They're gonna clean up your looks
With
all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep
with a gun
And keep an eye on you, son
So they can watch all the things
you do
Because the drugs never work
They're gonna give you a
smirk
'Cause they got methods of keeping you clean
They're gonna rip up
your heads,
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder
machine
They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They
could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike
a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me
The boys and
girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You're never gonna fit
in much, kid
But if you're troubled and hurt
What you got under your
shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did
They said all
teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as
someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe
they'll leave you alone, but not me
Ohhh yeah!
They said all
teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as
someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe
they'll leave you alone, but not me
All together now!
Teenagers
scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll
bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave
you alone, but not me
[x2]
Disenchanted
Well I was there on the day
They sold
the cause for the queen,
And when the lights all went out
We watched our
lives on the screen.
I hate the ending myself,
But it started with an
alright scene.
It was the roar of the crowd
That gave me heartache to
sing.
It was a lie when they smiled
And said, "you won't feel a
thing"
And as we ran from the cops
We laughed so hard it would
sting
Yeah yeah, oh
If I'm so wrong (so wrong, so wrong)
How
can you listen all night long? (night long, night long)
Now will it matter
after I'm gone?
Because you never learn a goddamned thing.
You're just
a sad song with nothing to say
About a life long wait for a hospital
stay
And if you think that I'm wrong,
This never meant nothing to
ya
I spent my high school career
Spit on and shoved to agree
So I
could watch all my heroes
Sell a car on tv
Bring out the old guillotine
We'll show 'em what we all mean.
Yeah yeah, oh
If I'm so wrong
(so wrong, so wrong)
How can you listen all night long? (night long, night
long)
Now will it matter long after I'm gone?
Because you never learn a
goddamned thing.
You're just a sad song with nothing to say
About a
life long wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong,
This
never meant nothing to ya
So go, go away, just go, run away.
But where
did you run to? And where did you hide?
Go find another way, price you
pay
Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah
You're just a sad song
with nothing to say
About a life long wait for a hospital stay
And if you
think that I'm wrong,
This never meant nothing to ya, come on
You're
just a sad song with nothing to say
About a life long wait for a hospital
stay
And if you think that I'm wrong,
This never meant nothing to
ya
At all, at all, at all, at all
Famous Last Words
Now I know
That I can't make
you stay
But where's your heart?
But where's your heart?
But where's
your...
And I know
There's nothing I could say
To change that
part
To change that part
To change...
So many
Bright lights,
they cast a shadow
But can I speak?
Well is it hard understanding
I'm
incomplete
A life that's so demanding
I get so weak
A love that's so
demanding
I can't speak
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not
afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be
forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
Can you see
My
eyes are shining bright
Cause I'm out here
On the other side
Of a jet
black hotel mirror
And I'm so weak
Is it hard understanding
I'm
incomplete
A love that's so demanding
I get weak
I am not afraid to
keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you
stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
I am
not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going
home
These bright lights have always blinded me
These bright lights
have always blinded me
I say
I see you lying next to me
With words
I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead
(How
can I see, I see you lying) 'Cause I see you lying next to me
(How can I see,
I see you lying) With words I thought I'd never speak
(How can I see, I see
you lying) Awake and unafraid
(How can I see, I see you lying) Asleep or
dead
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never
speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead
'Cause I see you lying next
to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or
dead
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this
world alone
(Or dead)
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you
can say can stop me going home
(Or dead)
I am not afraid to keep on
living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead)
Honey if you
stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
(Or
dead)
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world
alone
(Or dead)
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can
say can stop me going home
Blood
Well they encourage all complete
cooperation,
Send you roses when they think you need to smile.
I can't
control myself because I don't know how,
And they love me for it honestly,
I'll be here for a while.
So give them blood, blood, gallons of the
stuff!
Give them all that they can drink and it will never be enough.
So
give them blood, blood, blood.
Grab a glass because there's going to be a
flood!
A celebrated man amongst the gurneys.
They can fix me proper
with a bit of luck.
The doctors and the nurses they adore me so,
But it's
really quite alarming cause I'm such an awful fuck. (Oh thank you!)
I
gave you blood, blood, gallons of the stuff,
I gave you all that you can
drink and it has never been enough.
I gave you blood, blood, blood,
I'm
the kind of human wreckage that you love.
Helena
Long ago
Just like the hearse you die to
get in again
We are so far from you
Burning on just like a match you
strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst
you take (worst you take)
from every heart you break (heart you break)
And
like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been holding on
tonight
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Came a time
When
every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
from every heart you break
(heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've
been holding on tonight
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are
better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if
you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can
we pretend to leave and then
We'll meet again
When both our cars
collide?
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this
way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and
goodnight
Give 'Em Hell, Kid
Oh baby here comes the sound!
I
took a train outta New Orleans and they shot me full of ephedrine.
This is
how we like to do it in the murder scene.
Can we settle up the
score?
If you were here I'd never have a fear.
So go on live your
life.
But I miss you more than I did yesterday.
You're
beautiful!
Well I'm a total wreck and almost every day.
Like the
firing squad or the mess you made.
Well don't I look pretty walking down the
street.
In the best damn dress I own?
If you were here I'd never have
a fear.
So go on live your life.
But I miss you more than I did
yesterday.
You're so far away.
So c'mon show me how.
'Cause I mean this
more than words can ever say.
Some might say we are made from the
sharpest things you say
We are young and we don't care. (oh whoa ow)
Your
dreams and your hopeless hair. (oh whoa ow)
We never wanted it to be this
way.
For all our lives.
Do you care {at all}?
If you were here I'd
never have a fear.
So go on live your life.
But I miss you more than I did
yesterday.
You're so far away.
So c'mon show me how.
'Cause I mean this
more than words can ever say.
(What'd you call me?)
(Well, there's no
way I'm kissing that guy)
To The End
He calls the mansion not a house but a
tomb.
He's always choking from the stench and the fume.
The wedding party
all collapsed in the room.
So send my resignation to the bride and the
groom.
Let's go down!
This elevator only goes up to ten.
He's not
around.
He's always looking at men
Down by the pool.
He doesn't have
many friends.
As they are
Face down and bloated snap a shot with the
lens.
If you marry me,
Would you bury me?
Would you carry me to the
end?
(So say goodbye) to the vows you take
(And say goodbye) to the
life you make
(And say goodbye) to the heart you break
And all the cyanide
you drank.
She keeps a picture of the body she lends.
Got nasty
blisters from the money she spends.
She's got a life of her own and it shows
by the Benz
She drives at 90 by the Barbies and Kens.
If you ever say
never too late.
I'll forget all the diamonds you ate.
Lost in coma and
covered in cake.
Increase the medication.
Share the vows at the
wake.
(Kiss the bride)
If you marry me,
Would you bury me?
Would
you carry me to the end?
(So say goodbye) to the vows you take
(And
say goodbye) to the life you make
(And say goodbye) to the heart you
break
And all the cyanide you drank.
(And say goodbye) to the last
parade
(And walk away) from the choice you made
(And say goodnight) to
the heart you break
And all the cyanide you drank.
(So say goodbye) to
the vows you take
(And say goodbye) to the life you make
(And say goodbye)
to the heart you break
And all the cyanide you drank.
(And say
goodbye) to the last parade
(And walk away) from the choice you made
(And
say goodnight) to the heart you break
And all the cyanide you
drank.
To the last parade
When the parties fade
And the choice you
made
To the End.
You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison
In
the middle of a gun fight...
In the center of a restaurant...
They say,
"Come with your arms raised high!"
Well, they're never gonna get me,
Like a bullet through a flock of doves...
To wage this war against your
faith in me,
Your life...will never be the same.
On your mother's eyes,
say a prayer...say a prayer!
Now, but I can't
And I don't know
How we're just two men as God had made us,
Well, I can't...well, I can!
Too much, too late, or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your
dying wish,
I'll kiss your lips again.
They all cheat at cards and
the checkers are lost,
My cellmate's a killer, they made me do push-ups (in
drag)
But nobody cares if you're losing yourself...am I losing myself?!
Well, I miss my mom,
Will they give me the chair,
Or lethal
injection, or swing from a rope if you dare;
Ah, nobody knows...all the
trouble I've seen!
Now, but I can't
And I don't know
How we're
just two men as God had made us,
Well, I can't...well, I can!
Too much,
too late, or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish,
I'll kiss your lips again.
To your room...
What they ask of you
Will make you want to say, "So long..."
Well, I don't remember,
Why
remember...YOU?!
Do you have the keys to the hotel?!
'Cause I'm
gonna string this motherfucker on fire! (FIRE!!)
Life is but a dream for
the dead,
And well I, I won't go down by myself,
But I'll go down with
my friends.
Now now now now... (I can't explain)
Now now now... (I can't
complain)
Now now, yeah!
I'm Not Okay (I Promise)
Well if you wanted honesty,
that's all you had to say.
I never want to let you down or have you go, it's
better off this way.
For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend
took,
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second
floor?
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me
out
What will it take to show you that it's not the life it
seems?
(I'm not okay)
I've told you time and time again you sing the words
but don't know what it means
(I'm not okay)
To be a joke and look, another
line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook for the last time take
a good hard look!
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You
wear me out
Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your
boyfriend took
You said you read me like a book, but the pages all are torn
and frayed
I'm okay
I'm okay!
I'm okay, now
(I'm okay,
now)
But you really need to listen to me
Because I'm telling you the
truth
I mean this, I'm okay!
(Trust Me)
I'm not okay
I'm not
okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm not o-fucking-kay
I'm not okay
I'm not
okay
(Okay)
The Ghost Of You
I never said I'd lie and wait
forever
If I died, we'd be together
I can't always just forget her
But
she could try
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You
are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all
the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever
ever...
Ever...
Get the feeling that you're never
All alone and I
remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies
She dies
At
the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming
home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you
never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never
coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds
that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch
me
If I fall
If I fall (down)
At the end of the world
Or the
last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never
coming home
Never coming home
And all the things that you never ever told
me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming
home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are
ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna...
The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You
Gaze into her
killing jar
I'd sometimes stare for hours (sometimes stare for
hours).
She even poked the holes so I can breathe.
She bought the last
line.
I'm just the worst kind.
Of guy to argue.
With what you might
find.
And for the last night I lie.
Could I lie with you?
Alright,
give up, get down
It's just the hardest part of living.
Alright, she
wants
It all to come down this time.
Lost in the prescription
she's got something else in mind (something else in mind).
Check into the
Hotel Bella Muerte.
It gives the weak flight.
It gives the blind
sight.
Until the cops come.
Or by the last light.
And for the last
night I lie.
Could I lie next to you?
Alright, give up, get
down
It's just the hardest part of living.
Alright, she wants
It all to
come down this time.
Alright, give up, get down
It's just the hardest
part of living.
Alright, she wants
It all to come down this
time.
Pull the plug.
But I'd like to learn your name.
And holding
on.
Well I hope you do the same.
Aw sugar.
Slip into the tragedy you've
spun this chamber dry.
Alright, give up, get down
It's just the
hardest part of living.
Alright, she wants
It all to come down this
time.
Alright, give up, get down
It's just the hardest part of
living.
Alright, she wants
It all to come down this time.
Pull the
plug.
But I'd like to learn your name.
And holding on.
Well I hope you
do the same.
Aw sugar.
Interlude
Since we talked to her now
come angels
of the lord,
come angels of the lord.
Thank You For The Venom
Sister, I'm not much a poet,
but a criminal
And you never had a chance
Love it, or leave it, you
can't understand
A pretty face, but you do so carry on,
and on,
and
on
I wouldn't front the scene if you paid me
I'm just the way that
the doctor made me, on,
and on,
and on,
and on
Love is the red
the rose on your coffin door
What's life like, bleeding on the floor,
the floor,
the floor
You'll never make me leave
I wear this
on my sleeve
Give me a reason to believe
So give me all your poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And
make me ill
You're running after something
That you'll never kill
If
this is what you want
Then fire at will
Preach all you want but
who's gonna save me?
I keep a gun on the book you gave me, hallelujah, lock
and load
Black is the kiss, the touch of the serpent son
It ain't the
mark or the scar that makes you one,
and one,
and one,
and one
You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give me a
reason to believe
So give me all your poison
And give me all your
pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're
running after something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will
You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my
sleeve
You wanna follow something
Give me a better cause to lead
Just give me what I need
Give me a reason to believe
So give me
all your poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless
hearts
And make me ill
You're running after something
That you'll
never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will
So give me
all your poison (Fire at will)
And give me all your pills
And give me all
your hopeless hearts (Fire at will)
And make me ill
You're running after
something (Fire at will)
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
(Fire at will)
Then fire at will
Hang 'Em High
Wait until it fades to black
Ride
into the sunset
Would I lie to you?
Well, I've got something to
say
Grab your six-gun from your back
Throttle the ignition
Would I die
for you?
Well here's your answer in spades
Shotgun sinners
Wild
eyed jokers
Got you in my sights
Gun it while I'm holding on
After
all is said and done
Climb out from the pine box
Well I'm asking
you
'Cause she's got nothing to say
The angels just cut out her
tongue
Call her black Mariah
Would I lie to you?
That girl's not right
in the brain
Mass convulsions
Strike the choir
By the grace of
God
Gun it while I'm holding on
But don't stop if I fall
And don't
look back
Oh baby don't stop
Bury me and fade to black
She won't
stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it
down
So get your gun and meet me by the door
[x3]
She won't
stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it
down
So baby...
Don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby
don't stop
Bury me and fade to black
[x2]
...Well don't
stop...
It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Deathwish
For
what you did to me,
and what I'll do to you,
you get, what everyone else
gets,
you get a lifetime
Let's go!
Do you remember that day
when we met
you told me this gets harder
well it did
been holding on
forever,
promise me that when I'm gone you'll kill my enemies,
the damage
you've inflicted temporary wounds
I'm coming back from the dead and I'll take
you home with me
I'm taking back the life you stole
We never got that
far,
this helps me to think all through the night
bright lights that,
won't kill me now, or tell me how
just you and I, your starless eyes
remain.
Hip Hip Hooray for me, you talk to me, but would you kill me in
my sleep
lay still like the dead
from the razor to the rosary
we could
lose ourselves
and paint these walls in pitchfork red
I will avenge my
ghost with every breath I take
I'm coming back from the dead and I'll take
you home with me
I'm taking back the life you stole
This hole that you
put me in
wasn't deep enough
and I'm climbing out right now
you're
running out of places to hide from me
when you go
just know that I will
remember you
if living was the hardest part
we'll then one day be
together
and in the end we'll fall apart
just like the leaves change in
colors
and then I will be with you
I will be there one last time
now
when you go
just know that I will remember you
I lost my
fear of falling
I will be with you
I will be with you
Cemetery Drive
This night, walk the dead
In a
solitary style
And crash the cemetery gates.
In the dress your husband
hates
Way down, mark the grave
Where the search lights find us
Drinking
by the mausoleum door
And they found you on the bathroom floor
I miss
you, I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so
hard
Back home, off the run
Singing songs that make you slit your
wrists
It isn't that much fun, staring down a loaded gun
So I won't stop
dying, won't stop lying (are you there at all?)
If you want I'll keep on
crying (do you care at all?)
Did you get what you deserve? (are you there at
all?)
Is this what you always want me for?
I miss you, I miss you so
far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
Way down, way
down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
I miss you, I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that
made it so hard
When will I miss you, when will I miss you so far
And
the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
Made it so hard
Way
down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way
down
Way down...
I Never Told You What I Do For A Living
Stay out of
the light
Or the photograph that I gave you
You can say a prayer if you
need to
Or just get in line and I'll grieve you
Can I meet you,
alone
Another night and I'll see you
Another night and I'll be you
Some
other way to continue
To hide my face
Another knife in my hands
A
stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off
I'm so dirty
babe
The kind of dirty where the water never cleans off the clothes
I keep
a book of the names and those
Only go so far 'til you bury them
So
deep and down we go
Touched by angels, though I fall out of grace
I
did it all so maybe I'd live this every day
Another knife in my
hands
A stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off
I'm so dirty
babe
It ain't the money and it sure as hell ain't just for the fame
It's
for the bodies I claim and lose
Only go so far 'til you bury them
So
deep and down we go
Down
And down we go
And down we go
And down we go
And we all fall down
I tried
I
tried
And we'll all dance alone to the tune of your death
We'll love
again, we'll laugh again
And it's better off this way
And never again,
and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're
all dead now.
Well never again, and never again
They gave us two shots
to the back of the head
And we're all dead now.
Well I tried
One
more night
One more night
well I'm laughin' out, cryin' out, laughin' out
loud
I tried, well I tried, well I tried,
'Cause I tried, but I lied
I
lied
I tried
I tried
I tried, well
And we'll love again,
we'll laugh again
We'll cry again and we'll dance again
And it's better
off this way
So much better off this way
I can't clean the blood off the
sheets in my bed
And never again, and never again
They gave us two
shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now
Bury Me In Black
I said, we'll drown ourselves in
misery tonight
White lies, you've worn out all your dancing shoes this
time
Just give us war-worn lipstick by the door if I inflame
These
eyes have had too much to drink again tonight
Black skies, we'll douse
ourselves in high explosive light
Just give us war-worn, I've been
calling you all week
for my shotgun
Pick up the phone
Pick up the
phone, fucker
I wanna see what your insides look like (I wanna see what
your insides look like)
I bet you're not fucking pretty on the inside (Not so
pretty)
I wanna see what your insides look like (Not so pretty baby)
I
wanna see 'em (Not so)
Well you don't say
And well I can explain what
happened to my face
Late last night
I sleep in empty pools and vacant
alleyways
And what I'm going through, shot lipgloss through my veins
And
when I can't complain
With the falling rain
C'mon
I wanna save
your heart
I wanna see what your insides may be
