Karma and fate are just a joke anyway
I've long since abandoned it i do it my way
Purpose or accident
Guilty or innocent
I won't oblige you
I won't oblige you

*Chorus
Downtown kicking around
Never thought you'd get me but you got me now
Oh-no you're not alone
Everyone has seen you
You ought to know i have eyes behind my head
I caught you red-handed again

Karma and fate are just like a rope around my neck
Just keeps me hanging on to lame intellect
Adjust to my whereabouts
I've got my wits i've got my doubts
In empty answers and loaded questions

*Chorus x3

We took another look and shook another hand
Stayed for the band, made the 1st mistake
Tried to remember

This one is down we could use another round
Whiskey all around just to numb the pain
Tried to remember
It's hard to remember
Intoxicated way before you took a bow
Stumbling around all about the place
It's hard to remember

*Chorus
Looking back
It's hard to remember
Gentleman Jack
It's hard to remember

Sign every autograph before your spotlight ends
You'll know you made it when
Your talking to Serina Altschul
It's hard to remember

Until you've been face to face with the Jack
Stumbling back from place to place
It's hard to remember

*Chorus

Just one night in Illinois
It's hard to remember

Mayday i'm over my head
Sinking to the bottom
Hold my breath
I need to pull you down with me
Together lifelessly
Because misery loves company

Maybe i've got issues i don't know
Prescription bottle
I can't let go
You'll see I'm crazy after all
Bouncing off the wall
Catch me when I fall

*Chorus
It don't bother me if it
Don't bother you
Sheer lunacy is my excuse
I'm thinking maybe I'll get away with it
Even if my innocence ain't true

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Mayday I'm over my head
Sinking to the bottom
I hold my breath
I need to pull you down with me
Together lifelessly
Hopelessly
You and me

*Chorus
It don't bother me if it
Don't bother you
Sheer lunacy is my excuse
I'm thinking maybe I'll never be over you
Even if forever i'm not with you

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Sweet aunt polly was a looker
She was looking for a good time
Not to last forever, maybe just one night
But things got tough she couldn't keep it up and the rumors started to fly
People are saying, "Polly what'd you do?"

They're putting you on the spot
Are you ready or not
This is Aunt Polly's dream
My fantasy

Sweet aunt Polly was a cougar
Purring in my mind
Better late than never
Even better in her prime
Ain't talkin' 'bout love it's a matter of lust
Looking for something to do
How's about it Polly me and you

I'm putting you on the spot
Are you ready or not
This is aunt Polly's dream
My fantasy

By the way I've got to say
I'm dreaming every time
I look into your aging eyes

I can be at your beck and call
I'll be your satisfier
Polly ain't shy, Polly ain't shy
Polly I'm getting tired

Of putting you on the spot
Are you ready or not
This is aunt Polly's dream
My fantasy

This is Aunt Polly's dream
My fantasy / her secret

I'm putting you on the spot
Are you ready or not
Show me what you've got
I'm ready your not
This is aunt Polly's dream

We take our chances everyday
It's the way it goes, it's everything you say
Use to getting your way
Fair enough ain't good enough for you
And you don't see it like i do
Now you'll see it my way

*Chorus
I want it / I want it
It's stuck on me like a habit
You got it all right
You live you die
I want it / I want it
Come to you when i need it
Cause you got it all right

Fair enough ain't good enough for you
and you, you don't see it like i do
Now you'll see it my way
You, yeah you I know what your up to
This ain't no innuendo this ain't no IOU
If you only knew

*Chorus

I want my everything

*Chorus

I can be the someone you blame this whole thing on
I'll be just about anything you want

It's the Same old shit (edit "schtick") same old town
nothing's ever going down
I think we're on to something new

Well you know i won't usually care
So take my hand let's take this dare
You can put the blame on me

So offer up your best best defense
'Cuz this is the end of the innocence
I think we're on to something now

*Chorus
So here's to breaking boundries
With selective memories
In the end it's so obvious
I will get my sweet revenge
My Sweet Revenge

My sweet revenge will get to pull you down under
Tied to one another
I'm tired of heavy breathing i've been running myself down
I'm tired of the same old town

It's the Same old shit (edit) and the same old sound
of nothing ever going down
I think we're on to something
I think we're on to something

*Chorus

I'll EXACT my sweet revenge

Awoke in the morning with coffee and reds
Talking about it, somebody said
It looks a lot like you

I never saw it happen
Had too much to do
Now you've got fences all around you
Doesn't matter
It doesn't matter to you

*Chorus
God damn the rodeo
It's coming after you
God damn the rodeo
It just left you black and blue

I remember when you first saw it
I forget what year
Talking about it
Like you were here
It doesn't matter to you

Hand on a bottle
You're hanging on
You can't remember
Who's come and gone
What's the matter with you

*Chorus

I'm going to Grilder
I'm out of here
Disappearing tail lights
Fade into the night time
I'm getting my move on

I'm taking the long way
Just to pass the time
I'm gonna be like Crosby
It's gonna be alright
I might have done you wrong
You'll miss me when I'm gone

(Chorus)
Because once is not enough
It's over and over again
Over and over again

I'm going to Grilder
It's a brand new day
You ain't keeping me down
You ain't keeping me down
My head's up in the clouds

As I jump on the highway
Right between the lines
Traveling under the moonlight
Traveling under the moonlight
Tire tracks on the ground
You know where i can be found
(Chorus)

Stabbed in the back
For less than that
And now it's payback
For secrets you passed
Right along to everyone when i play dumb
I'm not fooling anyone

I've got to tie up all you try to undo
Sit back and wait for my cue
You wouldn't believe what's up my sleeve
So here's my resignation
You wanted the truth to prove you wrong
Now that the feeling's gone

*Chorus
Give it up now/Give it in now/Give it away
Give it up now/Give it in now/Give it away
Figure out who's side your taking
and think of something to say
To save your 2 faces

You've got a rap
I know about that
You've got your past
Avoiding confrontation don't waste my time on a settlement
My temper isn't obvious i'll take my time i'm better off

*Chorus x2

Give it up now/Give it now/Give it away

today,we all learn something new.
too late, just about an hour or two.
wait a sec...we'll make it up to you.

any second now,I'll know just what to do.
I'm cashing in on a hell of an excuse
wait a sec...we'll make it up to you.

Do I call often
It's already too late I've called in two messages
Thought three was even better
The cord is broken
Pardon this disconnection
It's my fault I needed to go

Don't you think I notice
Two Messages
One hit and one missed
Two Messages

The code is broken
Just a little interruption
It's my fault I needed to know
These Messages went to my head
I left with this under my breath
Two messages
One to forsake
Two messages
Too proud to make a distress call from a pay phone

Look out below
We've been there and back again
Checked the backyard and the house
The day that we kicked out

We're going down with it
Down with it

Shoot out the line a little
We said we'd never turn back
We picked up and covered some ground
The day the wheel kicked out
All day long
All day long

I'll scribble it down in a letter
I'm never good enough. we're better
I'm using up all my effort
it's getting cold and I can't stand the weather
I know it's been so long, you may not remember
just look how far we've come since september
the memory of leaving that song never ends
I promise I won't change what ever happens
and it shouldn't take forever
this shouldn't take forever

I'm putting all of my effort in this
I need to know what I've been missing
I'm putting all of my effort in this
and it's taking so long

I never meant to get us in this deep
when I can't tell you where I'll be in a week
the memory of hearing that song will never end
as long as we don't change whatever happens
and it shouldn't take forever
this shouldn't take forever

I'm putting all of my effort in this
I need to know what I've been missing
I'm putting all of my effort in this
and it's taking so long

I confess all I want is a BReak from buying into the give and take
Occupations and separate occasions
I finally had to wise up and let you down so down

One step ahead

Try your hand at BReaking my back
I'm still intact
You've gotta fake a smile and get a grip on it
It's worth your while once you get a handle on it now

So now I'm one step ahead

Fortune is a killer to make
You trade all the facts for fakes
See how long it takes

I left a note and waited around
Couldn't see the use starring it down
Some things weren't something near as good enough
We're throwing in the towel bleeding redless love
I'm crawling out of my skin
Just to get this over with

I waited half way there
Sick of waning off somewhere

I'll take the pictures with me on my way down
To carry these stationary minutes out
The wrong end of a telephone I'm not getting through
You suddenly got quieter didn't you
I'm crawling out of the way
A little while is so long today

I waited half way there
Sick of waning off somewhere
I'm worse at faking than I'm at changing
It could have meant something
It could have been just dead space

Ten to three
I think I fell asleep wearing a T-shirt in the pouring rain
Standing where we used to be
Second-guessing everything in a moment in a daze

You can make amends just to BReak them again
Wrap yourself in your uncertainties
BReak in these habits all the way through
They've done so much for you
I'm practicing my goodbyes

I found a new way I feel we've come a long way
I know it takes so long

Remember when we fought for what should have been
We went out on a limb for just another aliby
I'm practicing my good bye
Strap your antics in
I'm high enough to grin
We've got an automatic ultimatum

I found a new way I feel we've come a long way
I know it takes so long
It's familiar

I wonder how the first week went
I wonder if you called him today
I called to say I love you a month too late

You sell your love

I wonder what you keep to the bedroom
All the bed tricks I wasted on you
It's hard to say good-bye this way
I wish you didn't know me so well

You sell your love

I win in the end
I win in the end tonight
For all I'm losing through all I find
If it cost you an arm in a wedlock could you BReak the arm off in a plea
I couldn't picture it ending aren't you picturing me when you sell your love

Throw it all into the wind to let it rest forever
If it calls let it ring it is for the better
With all the words in the way you can't see it's over
Your calling out and dropping names to get acclaim, unnamed

No postage No feeling
Indifferent to be complete

Already made the same mistake
It seems I'm a little late
I can hardly see where you are when your out that far
I'll send it back to you
Watch your back

No postage No feeling
Indifferent to be complete

You've got the butterflies and I'm seeing stars
We're decorated in scars
You've got the butterflies and I'm seeing stars
I bet your still running off

I've been here awhile rattling my cage
But I'm not BReaking down
Just rusting out of the shape I'm in
Only shading out when I can't FACE it all the way down
Let's take your car to where the oceans are
I'd rather get lost and tell them all to fuck off
I'm way too exhausted

Autumn Grey wherever you are
Your half around the world tonight
Your half around the world
Faster in the getaway car
We'll take it for a whirl tonight
Half way around the world

Can't go on like this
Every minute I wish I was somewhere new
And all I Want to do is
Take your car to where the oceans are
I'd rather get lost and tell them all to fuck off
I'm way too exhausted

It's not too far
It's not too far…it's way out

I'll see you the next time around
Around the world tomorrow

sorry if my ways confuse you.
silence is something I'm not used to
must have been something going wrong
to move through it the more we moved along
I've been seeing the other side of you
the more I try not to

never coming out and never letting in
the weight of your words unspoken
don't want to ever go this way
or fade into another fade away
so call it even call it anything
call it surrendering

it's off with the head of this relation
there's others burning holes in my temptation
don't want to ever go this way
or fade into another fade away
so call it even call it anything
call it surrendering

get to wonder in and under the rain
my head is heavy and more than steadily calls your name
damn the distance I have carried this on
it's your forgiveness when I'm perfectly wrong

feelings empty since I sent me away
borrowed all I have to keep it this way
I was thinking we could all go back some day
tomorrow is only just a plane ride away
more than many, one does wonder to stay

postcards and really close calls
when can I send anything

gave up memories all they lent me wasn't real
this conversation is desperation to feel
I was searching for an answer I could steal
as soon as I was gone for so long I'm coming back
for one more reason, could you even imagine that

their fashion is rehearsed from some magazine.
retro is on the rebound, they follow the scene.
identities that come in threes, tight families of enemy.

reflection is to blame first, then all vanity.
behind the curtain is an act that follows the scene.
identities that come in threes, tight families of enemy.

got a friend get in the way
locked down it wasn't the same
in all the while it cuts us in two
they cut it short and it fell through
this is a knot you fastened too soon
tie up all the life in you
whether not you're taking a stand
we're still holding your falling hand

take it to the ring, call it a come back
held you on a chain when you wanted to stay
take it to the ring, call it a come back
we like you the old way, one and the same

got a friend get in the way
locked down it wasn't the same
flat back against the wall
you see one and you see them all

you can take the source of light away and all this isn't real
but I'll pretend if you'll believe, we'll swear on it now
well said

turn on the radio
who's in who's old
turn on the radio
who stayed who sold

it's just another accident, without a warning call
I'll be watching all the way, inside of a jar as long as you are

turn on the radio
who's in who's old
turn on the radio
who stayed who sold
well said

I'll know you'll never
make you feel better,
but you're the only remedy I'm holding onto.
it's better I do
and if I get to,
I won't forget you,
leave where you hands are hanging far away from mine
I'm hanging on this time.

wanna wake up into you
cradle the comfort of your BReathe again
I've gotta know where you are
and what's on your mind
I won't be running away this time
I'll hang on the line.
