1.Ghost on the Dance Floor
Never let you down boy
Never let you go
Your subtle hint of life
Is so innocent and scary
So tell them that you're here boy
She says it's best she knows
When God thoughts of her were dying
God, they leave me quite alone
It's like the universe has left me
Without a place to go
I move into the light
To watch the movement glow
And our song is slowly starting
The memory felt so real
At first against my will
But God it gives you chills
And I
I saw your ghost tonight
The moment felt so real
If your eyes stay right on mine
My wounds will start to heal
The kids are in a hurry
With eyes full of fear
Our lives went by in a flurry
It's getting hard enough to hear
It's like the evidence is careful
Evidently clear
I'll never leave this dancefloor
I'll never leave you here
And I
I saw your ghost tonight
The moment felt so real
If your eyes stay right on mine
My wounds will start to heal
I felt your ghost tonight
And god, it hurt like hell
To know your almost mine
But dreams are all I feel
And I
I saw your ghost tonight
It fucking hurt like hell
I felt you here tonight
But dreams can't all be real
I saw your ghost tonight
It fucking hurt like hell
I felt you here tonight
But dreams can't all be real
2.Natives
I'm like a cat in a cage, locked up and battered and bruised
I am the prodigal son, a shameful prodigy too
I am the love of your life, battering ram and confused
I turn each day into night, I stand there waiting for you
There is desire to fight, but I have nothing to prove
With the crowd and some lights, I start to feel things move
Do you have something to hide? Cause I think that we all do
I am a child inside, back up and give me some room
I'm just a bastard child, don't let it go to your head
I'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off dead
They turn us loose in the night, a fuck Jekyll and Hyde
We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'd rather go it alone
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home
Don't start to panic for me, 'cause I have nothing to lose
I am as bright as the sun, I burn up all that I choose
Up on the side of the field I see a city with lights
I touch her face when I kneel, she tells me she's not alive
I am too nervous to run, the kids who scatter and hide
Still reach and grab for someone, but end up buried alive
Her world is waiting for me, a world that I rarely used
I start to feel my feet, they kick down walls as they move
I'm just a bastard child, don't let it go to your head
I'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off dead
They turn us loose in the night, a fuck Jekyll and Hyde
We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'd rather go it alone
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home
I'm just a bastard child, don't let it go to your head
I'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off dead
They turn us loose in the night, a fuck Jekyll and Hyde
We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'd rather go it alone
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home
3.Up All Night
Everyone wants to call it
All around our life
With a better name
Everyone falls and spins
And gets up again with a friend
Who does the same
Everyone lies and cheats
Their wants and needs
And still believes their heart
And everyone gets the chills
The kind that kills when
The pain begins to start
Let me get this straight
Do you want me here?
As I struggle through
Each and every year
And all these demons
They keep me up all night
They keep me up all night
They keep me up all night
Everyone's cross to bears
The crown they wear
On endless holiday
Everyone raises kids
In a world that changes
Life to a bitter game
Everyone works and fights
Stays up all night to
Celebrate the day
And everyone lives to
Tell the tale of how we
Die alone some day
Let me get this straight
Do you want me here?
As I struggle through
Each and every year
And all these demons
They keep me up all night
They keep me up all night
They keep me up all night
They keep me up all night
They keep me up all
4.After Midnight
I can't get my feet up off the edge
I kinda like the little rush you get
When you're standing close to death
I think you're driving me crazy
Hold on as we crash into the earth
A bit of pain will help you suffer
when you're hurt for real
Cause you're driving me crazy
By your lips, the word's a robbery
Do you grin inside? You're killing me
All along we talked of forever
I kinda think that we won't get better
It's the longest start
The end's not too far away
Did you know? I'm here to stay
We'll stagger home after midnight
Sleep arm in arm in the stairwell
We'll fall apart on the weekend
These nights go on and on and on
I can't get your voice out of my head
All I hear are the many echoes of
The darkest words you said
And it's driving me crazy
I can't find the best in all of this
But I'm always looking out for you
Cause you're the one I miss
And it's driving me crazy
By your lips, the word's a robbery
Do you grin inside? You're killing me
All along we talked of forever
I kinda think that we won't get better
It's the longest start
The end's not too far away
Did you know? I'm here to stay
We'll stagger home after midnight
Sleep arm in arm in the stairwell
We'll fall apart on the weekend
These nights go on and on and on
We'll stagger home after midnight
Sleep arm in arm in the stairwell
We'll fall apart on the weekend
These nights go on and on and on
We'll stagger home after midnight
Sleep arm in arm in the stairwell
We'll fall apart on the weekend
These nights go on and on and on
We'll stagger home after midnight
Sleep arm in arm in the stairwell
We'll fall apart on the weekend
These nights go on and on and on
5.Snake Charmer
I felt a stutter and a waiver
Cutting like a razor
Like fire through the snow
Then straight down to the bone
She creeps up like a spider
And wants you deep inside her
She turns you into stone
A twisted little show
That's how it was to all begin
'Cause good girls who like to sin
Way back at the starting line
When Eve was on Adam's mind
And he was the first to go
In search of the great unknown
And swallow you yet again
'Cause good girls, they like to sin
You are a hero and survivor
Your eyes are getting tired
There's claw marks under your spine
It happens all the time
The silent evil daughters
Like sirens on the water
You've been the perfect crime
It happens all the time
That's how it was to all begin
'Cause good girls who like to sin
Way back at the starting line
When Eve was on Adam's mind
And he was the first to go
In search of the great unknown
And swallow you yet again
'Cause good girls, they like to sin
...
Good girls, they like to sin
...
Swallow you yet again
...
Good girls, they like to sin
...
Good girls, they like to sin
That's how it was to all begin
'Cause good girls who like to sin
Way back at the starting line
When Eve was on Adam's mind
And he was the first to go
In search of the great unknown
And swallow you yet again
'Cause good girls, they like to sin
6.Heart's All Gone Interlude
Take off the gloves
We fell in love by the side of the road
This desert will break you down
The veins you cut
Your smoking tongue is the end of us all
But you only care about
Fame and fortune
Watching others tortured
Casting your reflection
Grocery store perfection
This is the last time
Sent to the front line
With dirty boots on the ground
You said I'll make this all mine
You seemed so sweet at the start but the start's all wrong
You say you speak from your heart but your heart's all gone
Yeah, your heart's all gone
Blackjack and architect
Let's drink ourselves to death
The crimes of everyone
Passed down from father to son
Hopeless and destitute
Destroyed my gratitude
Your strongest lines of defense
Are all just self-inflicted wounds
You seemed so sweet at the start but the start's all wrong
You say you speak from your heart but your heart's all gone
You seemed so sweet at the start but the start's all wrong
You say you speak from your heart but your heart's all gone
Yeah, your heart's all gone
...
You seemed so sweet at the start but the start's all wrong
You say you speak from your heart but your heart's all gone
You seemed so sweet at the start but the start's all wrong
You say you speak from your heart but your heart's all gone
Yeah, your heart's all gone
7.Heart's All Gone
Take off the gloves
We fell in love by the side of the road
This desert will break you down
The veins you cut
Your smoking tongue is the end of us all
But you only care about
Fame and fortune
Watching others tortured
Casting your reflection
Grocery store perfection
This is the last time
Sent to the front line
With dirty boots on the ground
You said I'll make this all mine
You seemed so sweet at the start but the start's all wrong
You say you speak from your heart but your heart's all gone

Yeah, your heart's all gone
8.Wishing Well
Been gone a long time
I kinda lost my way, I can't find it
And I caught a short ride
To the grave and back this season
I can try to get by
But every time I start to panic
I'm a little bit shy
A bit strange and a little bit manic
La da da da, da da da da
La da da da, da da da da da
La da da da, da da da da
La da da da, da da da da da
I went to a wishing well
I sank to the ocean floor
Cut up by sharper rocks
And washed up along the shore
I reached for a shooting star
It burned a hole through my hand
Made its way through my heart
Had fun in the promised land
On the narrowing line
What a way to sort my troubles
In a very short time, gonna pop
Better duck and cover
Can you figure me out?
I got caught like a little kid stealing
Did I say it too loud?
A bit hard or a little misleading
La da da da, da da da da
La da da da, da da da da da
La da da da, da da da da
La da da da, da da da da da
I went to a wishing well
I sank to the ocean floor
Cut up by sharper rocks
And washed up along the shore
I reached for a shooting star
It burned a hole through my hand
Made its way through my heart
Had fun in the promised land
La da da da, da da da da
La da da da, da da da da da
La da da da, da da da da
La da da da, da da da da da
I went to a wishing well
I sank to the ocean floor
Cut up by sharper rocks
And washed up along the shore
I reached for a shooting star
It burned a hole through my hand
Made its way through my heart
Had fun in the promised land
I went to a wishing well
I sank to the ocean floor
Cut up by sharper rocks
And washed up along the shore
I reached for a shooting star
It burned a hole through my hand
Made its way through my heart
Had fun in the promised land
9.Kaleidoscope
Stop banging away on my kaleidoscope
Stop draining the color out of my scene
Just play me something I can dance to
I can dance to anything you wanna sing
So lock me up in a studio
Fill it up with sound and scenarios
Stop blocking the driveway with your car
Put the butterfly in the bell jar
It's the first time that I worried
Of a bad dream, of a journey
On the highway, through the valley
It's a long road through the night
It's a long road
They're exchanging force in the front yard
Let the hours tick past the deadline
Get another stamp in your passport
Wish your records down with some red wine
Delete the progress on your game
Try to fall asleep while your ears ring
From the loudest songs on your mix tape
I can dance to anything you wanna sing
No reason, no action
No silence, no help here
Nobody came running
Up by my side
It's the first time that I worried
Of a bad dream, of a journey
On the highway, through the valley
It's a long road through the night
It's the first time that I worried
Of a bad dream, of a journey
On the highway, through the valley
It's a long road through the night
It's a long road to get it right
It's the first time that I worried
Of a bad dream, of a journey
On the highway, through the valley
It's a long road through the night
It's the first time that I worried
Of a bad dream, of a journey
On the highway, through the valley
It's a long road through the night
It's a long road...
To get it right
To get it right
To get it right
To get it right
10.This Is Home
We work and slave the day away
Well raised in perfect families
We fuck and fight like vagabonds
We dance like fucking animals
Don't stop, the band is coming on
Rude boys and punks will shout along
Race cars, green cuffs and loaded guns
Kids scream but laughing as they run
I-I-I-I-I-I-I hope
Do you wanna let go-go-go?
'Cause this is home
Gunshots, the punks are rioting
The stage is slowly crumbling
Smash boards and try to stay alive
A few drinks and you love broken lights
Go hide and call the cavalry
Let's dance in perfect harmony
Get close, the crowd will come apart
That girl will try to make you hard
I-I-I-I-I-I-I hope
Do you wanna let go-go-go?
Do you wanna this time?
I-I-I-I-I hope you wanna let go-go-go
'Cause this is home
I-I-I-I-I-I-I hope
Do you wanna let go-go-go?
Do you wanna this time?
I-I-I-I-I hope you wanna let go-go-go
'Cause this is home
11.MH 4.18.2011
Coming in, coming in, kill the radio silence
Break down in L.A.
Giving up, giving in to a feeling of violence
There's hell to pay
So let's light another match, stop living in the past
Where nobody can hear me now
Blow the lock off the cage, watch the children come of age
When their parents stop to take a bow
Nothing takes root in this barren soil
Nothing takes root in this barren soil
Maybe there's no one there at all
Hold on, the worst is yet to come
Save your money for hired guns
Hold strong when everything you loved is gone
Slow down and stop living in the shadow of a helicopter
Line 'em up on the wall, coming out with their hands up
Give 'em all the chair
Let it burn, let it fall, let the end of the world come
Who's left to care?
Nothing takes root in this barren soil
Nothing takes root, though they bend and toil
Maybe there's no one there at all
Hold on, the worst is yet to come
Save your money for hired guns
Hold strong when everything you loved is gone
Slow down and stop living in the shadow of a helicopter
Hold on, the worst is yet to come
Save your money for hired guns
Hold strong when everything you loved is gone
Slow down and stop living in the shadow of a helicopter
Stop living in the shadow of a helicopter
12.Love is Dangerous
I have had it with this damn double vision
My hands swollen, I can't keep holding on
My hearts sinking, I'm stuck in deadly rhythm
I can't fake it. I can't, can't brush it off.
Love, love is dangerous
Love, love is so dangerous
I'm back at it, I just don't seem to listen
I see your lips, I just can't hear the sound
It's all static, just like my television
There's still something, her eyes cut through the clouds
Love, love is dangerous
(Here it comes, don't be fooled when she says this)
Love, love is so dangerous
(We'll betray the ones we can)
Love, love is so dangerous
(Love fools, so we all pretend to find)
Love, love is dangerous
Love, love is dangerous
(Here it comes, don't be fooled when she says this)
Love, love is so dangerous
(We'll betray the ones we can)
Love, love is so dangerous
(Love fools, so we all pretend to find)
Love, love is dangerous
13.Fighting The Gravity
This air is too thick to breath so just drive,
these eyes are too sick too see, go leave me behind
something swimming in my blood, somethings rotting in my brain
I'm smothered from the flood, I can't recognize you face,
I need to leave so just drive,
Burning lights on the street, fight fighting the gravity
When I'm beat and defeated, they'll take you away from me
I'm getting lost in a dream, yes, this is the last time
I'm always fighting the gravity
Tonight is too much fro me to get through,
Tomorrow's just a darkened hall to an empty room,
When I'm far away from you.
Burning lights on the street, fight fighting the gravity
When I'm beat and defeated, they'll take you away from me
I'm getting lost in a dream, yes, this is the last time
I'm always fighting the gravity
I'm always fighting the gravity
14.Even if She Falls
And she was
Like a starry night
Like a ferris wheel
Full of blue-green eyes
And a heart of steel
Always on her own
Almost never real
When the night will begin
The pain it won't end, even if she falls in love
Back, you wanna turn back
Your heart will attack, even if she falls in love
And she was
Like a blade of ice
Like a lonely road
Clear as day, alive
Always sharp and cold
Always beautiful
I am such a fool
When the night will begin
The pain it won't end, even if she falls in love
Back, you wanna turn back
Your heart will attack, even if she falls in love
Try to look in her eyes
The light is just right, even if she falls in love
And it isn't so bad
It's driving you mad, Even if she falls in love
When the night will begin
The pain it won't end, even if she falls in love
Back, you wanna turn back
Your heart will attack, even if she falls in love
Try to look in her eyes
The light is just right, even if she falls in love
And it isn't so bad
It's driving you mad, Even if she falls in love
