yeah

I got a lot of people telling I smell like I'm dead
apparently they cannot see
that I'm already walking 'round without a head

I got a problem with the object of the ongoing game
set the self upon the shelf and drag your shell through out the day-e-ah-e-ah-e-ah-e-ah

but look at all the stars
we've come so far
even if we don't know where we are
its gotta be some where great
or am i just too tired to wink

chicka-chi-ka

ha

(haa)

Ive seen a thousand towns
without an ounce of hot iron need
it leaves me beg'n for aesthetics
please offend someone straight in front off me

I'm stuffin brains (I'm stuffin brains)
I'm stuffing brain cells every day
smearing the club my love brought to refrain
hey-eh-eh

but look at all the stars(the stars)
we've come so far(so far)
even if we don't know where we are
its gotta be some where great

man i don't even know what you're sayin'
but i can't wait for more off this to come my way
cause you take what you get and you try not to think
or am I just to tired to wink

chicka-chi-ka

i swore a cyclops for a week
with heart tech in the clink
if ever he would battle
and i thought it was a wink
but the world is flushed with a manaculular mush
and dingbats i despise
to find I'm not thinking
is mentally blinking
but never quite clinging to rise. (rock!)

(haa)

we've come so far
even if we don't know where we are
its gotta be some where great

man i don't even know what you're sayin'
but i can't wait for more off this to come my way
cause you take what you get and you try not to think
or am I just to tired to wink

we've come so far
even if we don't know where we are
its gotta be some where great
or am i just too tired
or am i just too tired to wink

chika-chi-ka

You don't understand
Unless you reprogram.
I try to assimilate
You still intimidate.

[CHORUS]
But your iron fist will never knock me down
'Cause I'm powered
By a conscious right to conduct my life
Without fear.

You are ten percent
Thought without dissent
The rest is washed away
You cyborg of the state.

You will never see
Such sweet autonomy
As to stray it all
From your protocol, But

[CHORUS]
Your iron fist will never knock me down
'Cause I'm powered
By a conscious right to conduct my life
Without fear.
Your tyranny burns my circuitry
And I won't stand by.
I know my rights and I will fight, fight, fight,
Yeah...

(Guitar solo)

You're scanning the room
For targets to consume
But your pulse is loud and clear
You persecute in fear.

[REPEAT CHORUS]

I want it with whipped cream on it baby, gimme, gimme, gimme your love.
'Cause I'm hungry, you can't keep it from me lord knows you got more than enough.
Baby, I, I'm fiendin', I know you got your reasons for keeping it to yourself,
but you got plenty, honey, I don't think it's funny gotta give it, give it, give it or else,
I might just lose my mind.

CHORUS
I think I'm entitled to your body, gotta little problem with personal space,
and I've been poundin' the jaeger,
My breath and behavior have been driving the patrons away.

I want it with whipped cream on it baby, gimme, gimme, gimme your love.
'Cause i need it, girl, oh, you gots to feed it you can't beat the heat that beats in my blood.
Yeah, you got sweet lovin' still hot from the oven all the muffins that a man could desire
But I'm not g-g-g-gonna give up all the money 'til you admit you want to sit by the fire.
I think i just lost my mind.

REPEAT CHORUS

I want it with whipped cream on it baby, gimme, gimme, gimme your love.
I want it with whipped cream on it baby, gimme, gimme, gimme gimme, gimme, gimme your love....
(I really want it.)

REPEAT CHORUS

Poundin' the jaeger, my breath and behavior have been driving the patrons away.

My ancestors planted some sequoias by a road
I've driven down that road since I was born
Oh, never have you ever seen so many perfect evergreens
But I would chop them all down just for you

I have walked a million miles in a hundred pairs of shoes
In search of some universal truth
Well a deity just came to me and handed me a scroll to read
And I will gladly pass it on to you.

Anything for you
All of this is true
But the best story that I could ever tell
Is the one where I am growing old with you.

I was having rotten luck and nothing went my way
'Til I stumbled on a clearing in the woods.
I found a town of leprechauns and grabbed each one for wishing on
But I would let them all go just for you.

I have crossed a natural plane and communed with the dead
But people always seem to want some proof.
No one even would believe, my love, that evil I got pictures of
But I would throw them all out just for you.

Anything for you
All of this is true
But the best story that I could ever tell
Is the one where I am growing old with you

My scar is from a polar bear, my curse is from a witch,
I've caught a giant squid in all the seven seas.
I've picked up rocks from distant moons astronomers will discover soon
But I would give them all back just for you.

I've gotten drunk and shot the breeze with kings of far off lands
They showed me wealth as far as I could see.
But their kingdoms seemed all shrivelly and they cried with jealousy
When I leaned in and told them about you.

I'd give up anything
(Anything for you)
I'd give it all
(All of this is true)
But the best story that I could ever tell
Is the one where I am growing old with you.

All I've ever wanted, see, was to tell you honestly
I'd do anything for you.
I'd do absolutely anything for you.

Manta rays above us
In the open sea
I wonder if you think of me.

Now we're swimming deeper
Nothing's as it seems
Creatures sailing silently.

Or so I've dreamed
Since I met you
I've been hollowed by your body
I've been hypnotized by all you are

[CHORUS]
Oh, all I want
Is to know your name
and whisper it in your ear,
But I'm weightless like I'm falling on the moon.
I'm falling slow for you...

Driving through the darkness
We are glowing green
You're holding my hand to your cheek.

This car is our vessel
Our tires leave the ground
Up above the night sky, we're going home.

Or so I've dreamed
Since I met you
What secrets do you hide?
You tilt your head, there's a city inside.

[CHORUS]
All I want
Is to know your name
And whisper it in your ear
With your arms around my neck.
You've haunted me in colors
I've never seen
I feel strange and unprotected,
But I'm weightless like I'm falling on the moon.
I'm falling slow for you...

Sailing through the dark to the lunar face
Your pupils shining over time and space
We are two creatures each wrapped around
The other without a sound,
Safe at home,
Falling slowly.

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Behind a curtain of towering pines,
The sun settling red.
A city hidden high in the hills,
comes out to honor the dead.

Families somberly walk through the town,
they build altars and pray.
Clean the tombs and clutch rosaries,
and speak of better days.

From the edge of the island,
they ferry back to the shore,
they climb under their covers
and pray a little more.
In this ancient city of stones,
they sigh and bow their heads.
The living seem rather, well....dead.

Ohhhhhhh, yeah.

The sun is down,
the earth shakes,
The wind doth howl,
And I'm makin' moves all across the park,
We're sitting in the dark.

The caskets squeak,
The trees wheeze,
the crypts all creak,
and toes sepulchered for months and months in dust
are wiggling off their crust, whoa.

Shed your shrouds,
Slip your fingertips through the ground,
Get those catacombs open I'm hoping you'll join us,
Everybody come on out!! Yeah!!

What A lovely, lovely night
For a drink and a parade.
We'll dance until the morning light,
this town should be afraid.

What A lovely, lovely night
For a drink and a parade.
We'll dance until the morning light,
this town should be afraid.

Candied pumpkins, sweet egg bread,
we love rising from the dead.

Carpals, tarsals, vertabrae,
that's us clicking on parade!

I move without any muscles,
my skull's a cavernous hall.
Tendons are made for pulling, my friend,
I don't need them at all!

Mescal in our mandibles,
and porridge in our ribs,
their prospects are looking quite grim.

Board the mariposas now!
Set sail for the quivering light ahead,
We're desceding on the town,
the living we're scaring,
nightmaring in fright,
they've waited forever to bring us together:
We finally wake them up tonight!

Yock dehay!!

Chorus:
Yock dehay de yockity hum,
The devil is happy to say.
Heaven is having a hell of a time,
Skelatons on parade!!

Repeat chorus

Flee the mausolea,
Fly sarcophagi.
Pandemone the plaza,
Tiba-fibia-fie!

You ligamentary lifers,
your fractured foolish plight.
Pluck yourself from your gravesite!

Yock dehay de yockity hum,
(guitar)
Heaven is having a hell of a time,
Skelatons on parade!!

Yock dehay de yockity hum,
(guitar)
Heaven is having a hell of a time,
Skelatons on parade!!

(solo)

Yockey de yockum (Hey!)
The devil is happy to say (Ho!)
Yockay de yockum (hey!)
No one gets away (no!)

Yockay de yockum (Hey!)
The devil is happy to say (Ho!)
Heaven is having a hell of a time,
Skelatons on parade!!

Goodnight all my children now you must rest your heads,
you wouldn't want the sun to catch you missing from your beds.

There's a star at the edge of the field where we kiss
Where I hold you and tell you I love you
And that star shine's its light
Through this young boy's window every night
As I lay here gazing, wishing for that love

But those young lover's days
Are still far away
If that star keeps consoling
I'll never be lonely
Again

On a hot Kansas night
I pulled you in tight
And gave you the words I'd been holding
I gazed in your twinkling eyes
And kissed you for the first time
And I felt my life suddenly gain meaning

But since then many days
Have pushed you away
If that star keeps consoling
I'll never be lonely
Again

Oh and my love
Those lover's days
Now they're so far, far away
If that star keeps consoling
Whomever you're holding
I'll never be lonely
Again

Desert township
Franchise night-shift
Small minds, blank eyes, big ol' bank-slips
I'll take big boy, he'll clean those drawers good
I'll get the safe while you start the car, pretty thing
Gimme a kiss and keep your foot on the gas, now, 'cause

All these people understand
Is a gun in their face or the cash in their hand
I wanna take you home and start a family,yeah
But all the stars in Texas ain't got nothin' on your eyes
When you say, "Lets hit 'em one more time"

Motel bedside, Kansas sunlight
Tall grass, short dress
Star-crossed hot night
Linens whisper, wrists-held -down love
Your Daddy was a crooked soul with his heavy hand
And bourbon cold, I shot him dead
You hopped in, you were the prettiest thing i ever stole
And

All these people understand
Is a gun in their face or the cash in their hand
I wanna take you home and start a family,yeah
But all the stars in Texas ain't got nothin' on your eyes
When you say, "Lets hit 'em one more time"

But all the stars in Texas ain't got nothing on your eyes
When you say, "Lets hit 'em one more time"

We never shot a single one
They'd all been dead for years
Now stop

All these people understand
Is a gun in their face or the cash in their hand
I wanna take you home and start a family,yeah
But all the stars in Texas ain't got nothin' on your eyes
When you say, "Lets hit 'em one more time"

Oh, all those stars in Texas, Ill steal 'em if you want 'em
Grab you by the hips, lets hit , baby, one more time
Lets see the goods, nice and slow.

'Twas quite the inky black night
All the weather vanes were turning
And the constable was burning out his light

When low our anchors went down, barnacle bound
The men were up and churning
Yes, and soon the square was burning to the ground
And oh the flames were as gold

I scour at the angry moon
I am sick on myself I'm a bum
What have I become
A drunken maroon run aground
In this rotten town

It's been a fortnight or two
The mutant ears are plotting against the captain as I'm rotting in the goo
The constable was set to drown while the shabby scabs that went to town were reconnoitering with blades and gun
But the ale had started spilling
Yes, and soon the crew was killing everyone

And all the streets burned with gold,
Baha'ullah My bones were so cold

I scour at the angry moon
I am sick on myself I'm a bum
What have I become
A drunken maroon run aground
In this rotten town

I still walk down the harbor to the tavern on the square
and heard a raucous ruckus as it rang
from some foul inebriates
some men i used to call my mates
were lost in song and this is what they sang
they sang

"Hey, hi, oh, ho! O'er the Atlantic we go
Drinking 'till we all get sick
And coming up with limericks
But we never quite remember how they end"

I can see my childhood home
I think of my dear old mum
What have I become

I scour at the angry moon
I am sick on myself I'm a bum
What have I become
A drunken maroon run aground
In this rotten town (I scour at the angry moon)

I am sick on myself I'm a bum
What have I become
A drunken maroon run aground
In this rotten town (I scour at the angry moon)

I am sick on myself I'm a bum
What have I become
A drunken maroon run aground
In this rotten town (In this rotten)
In this rotten, In this rotten
Town!

I'm a snake in the grass
Watch your feet,
Let me pass.

I'm tight and afraid
I can't eat,
I can't change.

And all the little mice
Are dancing in sunlight
While I shuffle past,
Just a snake in the grass

And, oh, I'm overcome
And, oh, now I am new.

[CHORUS]
Oh oh, I am in love again
Oh oh, I am consumed by it
Oh oh, I am in love again
Under-drugged and overdone.

I'm a snake on a shelf
Just a pile of myself
While the mice in the walls
Find joy in it all.

But I'm bad, bred to suffer
In the dark,
In this room.

I'll explode, I'll escape
Get me out,
Make it soon.

[REPEAT CHORUS]

If there's a god that could save me
I'd ask that he open the skies and do it now
But it's just a chemical,
I'm not a snake
I'm just falling apart again
Look at me, I'm sobbing like a child.

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Oh oh, I am in love
Oh oh...

oh, is there anything left to say?
you've been down so long you've forgotten to believe
(oooh)
you're watching it slip away
you've been kicked around, they got you on your knees
but they're all the same
they laugh and walk away
and they think you'll turn around and go back home
back at home
they said you'd never win
you don't just climb the hill and grab the crown
but they're all the same
scared of judgement day
and you're sure you'll turn around and go back home
but noooo

[chorus]
we are young
but we will never die
we won't give up
this is our battle cry
we will defeat the other guy

gonna sit there in defeat
you better suck it up boy and get up off the ground
you forget they made you bleed
they kicked you like a dog when you were down
if there's anyone
looking out above
then they'll never see us coming to reclaim

[chorus]
we dream the dreams
now we will fight the fight
we will defeat the other guys

and we'll lead the dreams
until they die inside
we'll raise their kids
and commandeer their wives
we'll raise their kids
and commandeer their wives
we'll curse their gods
and drink up all their wine
we will defeat the other guys
we will defeat the other guys
(other guys)

Have you been up late nights?
(It's okay, it's just been hard to sleep)
It seems so in your eyes
(It's just that work has been gettin' to me)
I heard about your beau
(He's not feeling well, but he's alright)
There's something I can do
(Thanks for offering, but I'll be fine)

Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark

Have you been up late nights?
(Couldn't swallow, couldn't get to sleep)
I see it in your eyes
(It's just that sickness has been gettin' to me)
Well, what about your belle?
(Can you help her? Can you make the time?)
I'll do all I can do
(Just don't worry 'bout me, I'll be fine)

Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
Forces unseen pulling strings in your heart
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark

Ah...........
Oh...........
Ah...........
Oh...........
Ah...........
Oh...........

Well, where are you guys, then?
(We're up north, just tryin' to beat the heat)
When are you coming home?
(Not sure I can make it back for weeks)
So how are all your shows?
(Kelly called and said you're not alright)
You take care of him
(There's something bigger going on this time)

Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
Forces unseen pulling strings in your heart
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark

Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
Forces unseen pulling strings in your heart
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark

Everyone wants
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
Everyone wants
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
