The Words You Don't Swallow

Anarbor The Words You Don't Swallow Lyrics
1.Contagious

She said:'Don't take too big a breath.'
She said:'Don't breathe in too deep,
you might choke up all the words you don't swallow.'
She said:'Don't take too big a step.'
She said:'Don't run too fast,
you might trip over the life that you follow.'

I get my way, I get my way.
can't explain it.
I get my way...

I don't need your direction. (I'm catchin' up to you.)
And I see my imperfections. (They're creeping up on me.)
And I don't need your direction. (I'm catchin' up to you.)
Don't turn down the bed, 'cause I'm not comin' home.

I told her keep her money straight:
'Don't spend it all in one place,
you might find yourself too broke to borrow.'
I told her life is gonna fade:
'Don't let the youth go to waste,
you'll soon drown yourself all up in your sorrow.'

I get my way, I get my way.
_____ can't explain it.
I get my way...

I don't need your direction. (I'm catchin' up to you.)
And I see my imperfections. (They're creeping up on me.)
And I don't need your direction. (I'm catchin' up to you.)
Don't turn down the bed, 'cause I'm not comin' home.

I'm runnin' dry, is this real life?
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
So cut me loose, this has gone too far,
I'm getting there while I still have a shot.
I get my way...

I don't need your direction. (I'm catchin' up to you.)
And I see my imperfections. (They're creeping up on me.)
And I don't need your direction. (I'm catchin' up to you.)
Don't turn down the bed, 'cause I'm not comin'...
Don't turn down the bed, 'cause I'm not comin' home,
I'm not comin' home.
No, not tonight.

3.Gypsy Woman

And then she took my soul, but I didn't know
That gypsy woman's got me under control.
She fed me lies while she cast her spells.
That gypsy woman's really ringing my bells.

And to Hell, I will go,
Knocking right on Satan's door.
Heavens no, this ain't it.
Honey, I won't beg, I'll just take it quick.
She took me to my knees,
and now she's got me praying.

Save me, she's a liar,
and I can't seem to untie
the rope she's got wrapped around her finger.
Think I lost the last bit of my self control.

I can feel the hole that she left.
Gypsy woman robbed me of my best.
She said she couldn't stay.
Gypsy woman wore black on her wedding day.

And to hell, I will go,
Knocking right on Satan's door
Heavens no, this ain't it
Honey, I won't beg, I'll just take it quick.
She took me to my knees,
and now she's got me praying.

Save me, she's a liar,
and I can't seem to untie
the rope she's got wrapped around her finger.
Think I lost the last bit of my self control.

Cause I don't need what you've been giving me
so gypsy woman stay the hell away from me.
Cause I don't need what you've been giving me
so gypsy woman stay the hell away from me.
Cause I don't need what you've been giving me
so gypsy woman stay the fuck away from me.

Save me, she's a liar,
and I can't seem to untie
the rope she's got wrapped around her finger.
Think I lost the last bit of my self control.

Yeah, she's a liar,
and I can't untie the rope
she's got wrapped around her finger.
Think I lost the last bit of my self control.


4.Mr. Big Shot

Oh, you're Mr. Big Shot
And you think you got a lot.
Do you mean to tell me I'm not worthy?
Oh, you're Mr. Big Shot
Ever think you're gonna get caught?
I've been wonderin' lately, you're not ready.

Oh, you think you're hot as hell.
Oh, you think that they can't tell.
But deep down, you're just a baby.

Someday, you'll come knockin' on my door.
And I'll leave you lonely,
I don't want you anymore.
My bones are stronger than before.
So don't come 'round my way,
I'll kick your ass right out the door.

Oh, you're Mr. Big Shot
Yeah, you really think you hit the spot.
But someone told me you're all stories.
Oh, you're Mr. Big Shot
And life's not about what you've got.
So don't you tell me I'm not happy.

Oh, you think you're hot as hell.
Oh, you think that they can't tell.
But deep down, you're just a baby.

Someday, you'll come knockin' on my door.
And I'll leave you lonely,
I don't want you anymore.
My bones are stronger than before.
So don't come 'round my way,
I'll kick your ass right out the door.

Is that all you got, Mr. Big Shot?
Is that all you got, Mr. Big Shot?

Oh, you think you're hot as hell.
Oh, you think that they can't tell.
But deep down, you're just a baby.

Someday, you'll come knockin' on my door.

My bones are stronger than before.
So don't come 'round my way,
I'll kick your ass right out the door.
Whoa-oh-ah-oh,
Whoa-oh-whoa.
I'll kick your ass right out the door.


5.Let The Games Begin

So baby tell me,
What's the deal with your new boyfriend?
He wears a hat to the side
With a bill he doesn't want anyone to bend

(BANG! BANG!)
I heard a knock at the door
She walked in
It's a sin to keep her begging for more
(BANG! BANG!)
I watched her clothes hit the floor
I could never say no

It's a game, she's to blame
But who's keeping score?
You can tell by my grin
That I've done this before
So let the games begin

So baby tell me,
How does it feel to break and bend?
You just can't choose between us two
It's a game, you'll always lose

(BANG! BANG!)
I hope that's him at the door
Will the truth finally find her?
(BANG! BANG!)
Will she run will she hide?
The truth's creeping up slow

It's a game, she's to blame
But who's keeping score?
You can tell by my grin
That I've done this before
So let the games begin

It's the thrill
It's the thrill
It's the thrill that I live for

It's the thrill
It's the thrill
It's the thrill that I live for

It's the thrill (it's the thrill)
It's the thrill (it's the thrill)
It's the thrill that I live for

It's the thrill
It's the thrill
It's the thrill that I live for
So let the games begin

It's a game, she's to blame
But who's keeping score?
You can tell by my grin
That I've done this before

It's a game, she's to blame
But who's keeping score?
I'm not in it to win
You can tell by my grin
That I've done this before

So let the games begin
Yeah, let the games begin


6.Going To Jail

I'm not a bad guy and I've never been a thief.
I pay my taxes and I pretend to believe.
A family that loves me and a habit that saved my life.
I'm sorry, Officer,
I'm not sayin' shit tonight.

Oh, I'm going to jail, I won't make bail.
Oh God, I hate this town.
Oh, they're comin' to get me, swear I'm not guilty.
Setting me up to bring me down.
Oh God, I'm going to jail.

I live slow days, but at night, I walk fast.
I'll keep my hair real short to make sure they walk right past.
Search my car, my clothes,
I promise, Sir, I'm all dry.
I'm sorry, Officer,
I ain't got shit tonight.

Oh, I'm going to jail, I won't make bail.
Oh God, I hate this town.
Oh, they're comin' to get me, swear I'm not guilty.
Setting me up to bring me down.
Oh God, I'm going to jail.

It was just a broken line.
We can run, but we can't hide.

Oh, I'm going to jail, I won't make bail.
Oh God, I hate this town.
They're comin' to get me, swear I'm not guilty... yeah!

Oh, I'm going to jail, I won't make bail.
Oh God, I hate this town.
Oh, they're comin' to get me, swear I'm not guilty.
Setting me up to bring me down...

Oh, I'm going to jail, won't make bail.
Oh God, I hate this town.
Oh, they're comin' to get me, swear I'm not guilty, guilty,
yeah!
Oh God, I'm going to jail.

It was just a broken line.


7.The Whole World

The whole world is getting high
While all our jobs are so dry.
I can see, I can hear your cries.

I'm not the type of guy
To let my life pass me by.
And all I know, I've heard back at home.

Oh, your mom was a centerfold.
Your dad was so typical.
I'm a lush, so what's your story?

And every single day,
I watch as my neighbors pray:
'Please don't fill our world with hate.'

And when will the world see
There aren't any bad seeds?
With life comes room to grow.

Oh, your mom was a centerfold.
Your dad was so typical.
I'm a junkie, so what's your story?

I'm sorry, boys and girls,
But you will be judged AND labeled your entire life.
No ifs, ands, or buts.
We all have our problems,
And we all have our habits.
So what exactly separates you from me?

Oh, your mom was a centerfold.
Your dad was so typical.
I'm a lush, yeah, so what's your story?

Oh, your mom was a centerfold.
Your dad was so typical.
I'm a junkie, so what's your story?

You're bound to be a centerfold.
You're bound to be typical.
I'm a lush, so what's your story?
I'm a junkie, so what's your story?
I'm just me, so what's your story? yeah...


8.Carefree Highway

I came to, face pressed to the carpet.
I have no clue how I got here...
Must've been livin' it up, livin' it up, livin' it.
My friends don't come dime a dozen.
The good Lord knows I couldn't
ever leave 'em behind, leave 'em behind, leave 'em.
Carefree highway to happiness, (whoo-AH-ooh-ooh)
Realizing ignorance is bliss.

Give me something to pray for,
'Cause we can't do this alone.
Give me something to live for-
Waiting my turn for so long...
Don't wanna be on be on my own.

We're smoked up,
The good times never fade.
The desert keeps us sane.
We're soakin' it up, soakin' it up, soakin' it.
So don't get caught up
In our distance or your demons.
The good Lord knows you're schemin'.
You best be straightin' up, straightin' up, straightin'.
Carefree highway to happiness, (whoo-AH-ooh-ooh)
Realizing ignorance is bliss.

Give me something to pray for,
'Cause we can't do this alone.
Give me something to live for-
Waiting my turn for so long...
Don't wanna be on be on my own.

We're livin' it up, livin' it up, we're livin' it.
Being gone, I never felt so alone,
I haven't seen myself since I last left home.
Don't wanna be on my...
Carefree highway to happiness, (whoo-AH-ooh-ooh)
Realizing ignorance is bliss... yeah!

Give me something to pray for,
'Cause we can't do this alone.
And give me something to live for-
Waiting my turn for so long...
I don't wanna be on be on my own.

Give me something to pray for,
'Cause we can't do this alone.
And give me something to live for-
Waiting my turn for so... long...
Don't wanna be on be on my own.


9.I Do What I Do


10.This Can't Be Healthy

You rush me into your apartment,
The glow of your bedroom ahead.

Your spirit was warm when I touched you,
We think alike to live alike, yeah.

Breathe in deep for me,
'Cause I'll be there for you.
Don't lose sight of me,
'Cause I *watch the old tricks*.
I won't waste my time,
'Cause I'll be there for you.
So breathe in deep for me.

You took control, and I like that.
You know you're so sexy, girl...
You use it against me, girl.

Breathe in deep for me,
'Cause I'll be there for you.
Don't lose sight of me,
'Cause I *watch the old tricks*.
I won't waste my time,
'Cause I'll be there for you.
So breathe in deep for me.

You reach for my hands, but you touch my heart.
You reach for my hands, but you touch my heart.
You reach for my hands and I fall apart.
You reach for my hands and you touch my heart.

Breathe in deep for me,
'Cause I'll be there for you.
Don't lose sight of me,
'Cause I *watch the old tricks*.
I won't waste my time,
'Cause I'll be there for you.
Yeah, so breathe in deep for me.
I won't waste my time.
Yeah, so breathe in deep for me!


11.Useless

I woke up this morning, caught sleepin' in
And noticed the sun was creeping in.
On pictures of people I've never seen
One family's love can spark my dreams.

The coldest year we've had-
Oh-so far from Mom and Dad.
Colored pills and alcohol-
Won't make it better after all.

Oh, and I'll... I'll get through this,
No one can stop me now.
Time is useless when your head's caught up in the clouds.

Time flies by when you love someone,
But the hands stand still when it's overdone.
But getting caught up inside of my past,
Friends come and go, but only family will last.

The coldest year we've had-
Oh-so far from Mom and Dad.
Colored leaves fall from the trees;
I just try to make you proud of me.

And I'll... I'll get through this,
No one can stop me now.
Time is useless when your head's caught up in the clouds.

I'll get through this...
I'll get through this,
No one can stop me.
Time is useless when your head's caught up in the clouds.
Oh, and I'll get through this,
No one can stop me now.
Time is useless, yeah, when your head's caught up in the clouds.
