Attention! Attention!
May I have all your eyes and ears to the front of the room,
if only, if only for one second.
Will you hear what I have to say?
Oh, did I mention when I see you it stings like hell?
To the fact that we could have something that'll never happen.

This table has taken a turn for the worst.
Rock bottom and over the edge
well it's not like it hurts that much anyway.
Upside down and inside out.
When I leave here I'm going alone.
Well it's not like it hurts much anyway.

Attention! Attention!

Will you hear what I have to say?
Oh, did I mention when I see you it stings like hell?
To the fact that we could have something that'll never happen.
Will you hear what I have to?

This balance has weighed out our hearts desire.
I'm trying to make it alone.
Well it's not like it hurts that much anyway.
Upside down and inside out.
When I leave here I'm going alone.
But I'm dying, I'm dying to touch.
Well it's not like it hurts much anyway.

Attention! Attention!
May I have all your eyes and ears to the front of the room,

Will you hear what I have to say?
Oh, did I mention when I see you it stings like hell?
To the fact that we could have something, something.

Wake up think fast, three weeks have passed. We are changing. No sleep, no gas,
no excuses will pass these lips because were shapin' up to be all you wish you
could have been to write the hits and to turn their heads and to open eyes (open
your eyes) to a brand new season, a brand new season.

So show me something we haven't heard yet, but I'm not convinced and your
hopeless songs won't stick.
But I, i'll sing you something you won't forget for the first time I know this
is now who I am.

Close the door and take the stairs
Up or down, Upside down
Don't pretend you've never been there
Kiss me like an overdramatic actor
You're starving for work
With one last shot to make it happen

You won the role, you've played your part
You've been cordially invited
But I'm not impressed
And I'm definitely not excited
Cause the film has a shallow budget
And the writer's subject script isn't any deeper
So dive right in

Hollywood hills and suburban thrills and you
Who are you kidding?
I'm not like them
I won't buy it
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills and you
Who are you kidding?
Quit your forty-seven
Then we'll turn it up and we'll play a little faster

Take back everything you ever said
You never meant a word of it
You never did
Take back everything you said
You never meant a word of it
You never did

She said, 'Alright, alright slow down'
Oh no, oh no we won't
Cause I regret everything that I said
To ever make her feel like she was something special
Or that she ever really mattered
Or did she ever really matter?

Hollywood hills and suburban thrills and you
Who are you kidding?
I'm not like them
I won't buy it
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
Just don't count on the summer
Quit your forty-seven
Then we'll turn it up and we'll play a little faster

Take back everything you ever said
You never meant a word of it
You never did
Take back everything you said
You never meant a word of it
You never did

I'm not sayin' that I'm not breakin' some hearts tonight, girl
Oh, I'm not sayin' that I'm not breakin' some hearts tonight, girl

Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
You'll take this time to be notified [x2]

Take back everything you ever said
You never meant a word of it
You never did
Take back everything you said
You never meant a god damn word of it
You never did

Hollywood hills and suburban thrills and you
Who are you kidding?
I'm not like them
I won't but it
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills and you
Who are you kidding?
I'm not like them

My eyes can't believe what they have seen.
In the corner of your room you've stockpiled millions of my memories.
Oh Doctor, Doctor, I must have gotten this sick somehow.
I'm going to ask you a series of questions,
And I want them answered on the spot, right now.
Is it serious?
I'm afraid it is.
Am I gonna die?
Well son, death is gonna catch up to all one day,
But yours is coming quicker then ours, then ours.

Some things I may have taken for granted again and again,
well here's what was said then

Hold your head high heavy heart.
So take a chance and make it big,
Cause it's the last you'll ever get.
If we don't take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I've been planning something big, planning something big, planning.

I've never tried to make the best of my time,
When I thought that I had plenty of it.
Is this serious?
I don't know what to think.
Is it all a lie?
Well one thing is for sure
I'm taken back to the glory days
When we were kids without a brash or bitter thing to say.

Now my life is one big make it, or break it.

Hold your head high heavy heart
Save your strength for the morning after.
So take a chance and make it big,
Cause it's the last you'll ever get.
If we don't take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I've been planning something big, planning something big
So take a chance and make it big,
Cause it's the last you'll ever get.
If we don't take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I've been planning something big, planning something big, planning.

. . .



we've got one chance to break out
and we need it now
cause i'm sick and tired of waiting
sick of this fucking apartment

love me or leave me or rip me apart
this is the voice that i was given and
if you dont like it take a long walk
off of the shortest pier you can find

and i'll be singing it out i'll be singing...
oh, Mr. Magazine i never wrote one single thing for you
or your so-called music scene
you dont mean a thing to me

pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
pick it up, pick it up, and you need it to
pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
pick it up, pick it up

when they review the debut
what if the critics hate you
dont worry cause they
might just catch somebody off their feet
well they can love it or leave it or rip it apart
we're living while we're singing
so i guess that's a step in the right direction
glare of composition in the honesty, honesty

oh, Mr. Magazine
i never wrote one single thing for you
or your so-called music scene
you both mean shit to me

pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
pick it up, pick it up, and you need it to
pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
pick it up, pick it up

so save your breath and the money you spent
go work in retail and spare the suspense
just dont take chances on anything at all
anything at all

so afraid of anything that may not come that easy
too afraid of anything that you may not have seen before
so afraid of anything that may not come that easy
too afriad of anything that may not...

pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
pick it up, pick it up, and you need it to
pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
pick it up, pick it up

so save your breath and the money you spent
go work in retail and spare the suspense
just dont take chances on anything at all

. . .



Don't be so scared we will not leave
You are hung like you've been doing for weeks.
Your selfish, and I'm sorry
When I'm gone you'll be going nowhere fast, nowhere fast, nowhere fast.

Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?
Cause I wouldn't believe you if you said the same to me,
and make dead plans spent the buried hanging on.
Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?

Don't be so scared to take a second for reflecion,
to take a leave of absence to see what your made of.
So I'm selfish and your sorry.
When I'm gone you won't be going nowhere fast.
So who's selfish and who's sorry?

Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?
Cause I wouldn't believe you if you said the same to me,
and make dead plans spent the buried hanging on.
Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?

Someone somewhere said somethings that missparked some sympothny,
but don't believe, don't believe a word you heard about me.

Don't be so scared, it's harder for me. Don't be so scared.
Don't be so scared, it's harder for me.
Don't be so scared, it's harder for me.
Don't be so scared, it's harder for me. Don't be so scared.

Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?
Cause I wouldn't believe you if you said the same to me,
and make dead plans spent the buried hanging on.
Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?

Someone somewhere said something that missparked some sympathy,
but don't believe, don't believe a word you heard about me.

Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?
Cause I wouldn't believe you, wouldn't believe you now.

My life reads like the classifieds.
Pages of what's for sale; whats on the auction block.
Attention bidders! Its line 45.
He's got a decent voice, he's got that crooked smile.
Hold on, you havent heard the best yet.
He writes good storylines, he's got those honest eyes.
So take him home for just $9.95.
He'll sing the songs you like, he'll keep you warm at night.

Back down, cash out, that's the city for you.
Break down and back out, and get what's coming to you.
When you said you were falling apart I thought you meant that you were falling
apart.

I'm not the type to forget about nights like this,
where every single move that I make is documented and scored for style points.
The once ambitious one now holds the smoking gun.
And if I die in my sleep, are you still willing to be everything you promised
you would be?

Back down, cash out, that's the city for you.
Break down and back out, and get what's coming to you.
When you said you were falling apart I thought you meant that you were falling
apart.

Will you be the first one to tell the neighborhood paper
and all my family and friends that still care?
Did you buy what I sold and did you feel what I told you?
I hope you still do. Will you promise yourself, that this isn't all we've got?

Back down, cash out, that's the city for you.
Break down and back out, and get what's coming to you.
When you said you were falling apart I thought you meant that you were falling

. . .



So there you are, and here I stand,
As far as I remember you weren't half bad.
Your bedroom behavior was never more then checkmarks on bedposts.
For I remember we never had.

[Pre-Chorus:]
You get me out of the rain, you get me out of my clothes.
You hope I don't make a sound, you hope that nobody knows.
You get me out of the rain, you get me out of my clothes.
You hope I don't make a sound, you hope that no one...

[Chorus:]
So suck your so called pity down.
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
and don't forget to take deep breaths.
So suck your so called pity down.
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
and don't forget to take deep breaths.

[Chorus]

So don't explain cause I know exactly what your going to say.
Big words, recycled phrases, and the bittersweet taste of other boys on your
lips.
So now just sit here and talk about how you wanted it all.
So now just sit here and talk about how you wanted it all.

[Prechorus]
[Chorus]

Do you miss looking up from the floor at my face on a stage in a crowded room?
Well it's not the same.
I bet you're still a sucker for those famous faces.
Downtown, looking down, down, looking over the crowd, I hope you're out there,
look at me now.
Well it's not the same.
Just look at how we've changed.


. . .



Out of the box, out of the kitchen.
Out of the world she's grown so fearful oh, so fearful oh.

I don't ever want to see you again [3x]
I don't ever want to see you again my friend, this is the end.

Out of the house, she grabs the keys runs for the hills,
and doesn't leave a letter that way the impact will be much better.
Away from the man that she's grown so fearful oh, so fearful oh.

I don't ever want to see you again [4x]

Why, oh why do you wear sunglasses in the home,
When the sun went out about an hour ago?
Why, oh why do you wear sunglasses in the home,
When the sun went out about an hour ago?
Life should not be that way.

Always up or down, never down and out.
Dreaming demons while you sleep,
They make you stutter when you sleep.
Always up or down, never down and out.
Dreaming demons while you sleep,
They make you stutter when you sleep.
Speak now or forever hold your piece in pieces.

Now that I'm grown I've seen marriages fall to pieces.
Now that I'm grown I've seen friendships fall to pieces.
We can't worry as in our best friends.
The writers weren't kidding about how all good things must end.
Then again somethings, then again somethings will fall to good,
Somethings will fall to good, to go away, and let go.

Always up and down, never down and out.
Dreaming demons while you sleep,
They make you stutter when you sleep.
Always up and down, never down and out.
Dreaming demons while you sleep,
They make you stutter when you sleep.
Speak now or forever hold your piece...

We won't forget Tony or Johnny oh,oh.
We better have an interest that leads wish he's the best on the road.
Garette to complain to Paris, France.
Now he's cooking up office for the pritty britty French girls.
Brooke in Blue and Clarity to the wall of grace.
Talks that risk and turns to the rest of the ranks.

We can't worry as in our best friends,
The writers weren't kidding about the good things will live in out hearts

Always up or down, never down and out.
Dreaming demons while you sleep,
They make you stutter when you sleep.
Always up or down, never down and out.
Dreaming demons while you sleep, (Never down and out)
They make you stutter when you sleep.
Always up or down, never down and out.
Dreaming demons while you sleep, (Never down and out)
They make you stutter when you sleep.
Always up or down, never down and out.
Dreaming demons while you sleep,
They make you stutter when you sleep.

. . .



So listen up. (So listen up)
I'd wish the day you'll be the fashionable housewives.
For just this once. (For just this once)
I'll take my chances at truckstops and steak nights.

Don't let me tell them again.
What I think, what I know, what I won't remember.
Go out and tell them too much,
Yah, twice is nice, but three times is just right.

Hey, hey, we're almost home.
I'm missing you Dad, but your the top of the best I know.
Hey, hey, we're not far from home.
I've got my pride, and I'll let you sleep tonight.

So listen up. (So listen up)
My own friends have been dropping like houseflies.
The smoking gun stands in my pants, and I know how to use it.

Don't let me tell them again.
What I know, what I think, what I won't forgive them.
They turn their backs when, we started to get busy.
Well yah, twice is nice, but three times it just right.

Hey, hey, we're almost home.
I'm missing you Dad, but your reach is on.
Hey, hey, we're not far from home.
I've got my pride, and I'll let you sleep tonight.
Hey, hey, we're almost home.
I'm missing you Dad, missing you Dad, oh.
Hey, hey, we're not far from home.
I'll swallow my pride and push back my sleep tonight.

I'm on my feet, I'm on my feet, I'm on my feet,
I'm on my feet, I'm on my feet, I'm on my feet. (This isn't like a set break)

I'm running,

Our time is almost,
Our time is almost here. (You see me like freight train)
