1.Dress to please
I'll cut my heart out and leave it here on the stage
And you can come pick it up after the show
And when you find out what I really meant you let me know
I'll cut it out, cut it out, cut my heart out and leave it here
on the stage
And you can come pick it up after the show
And when you find out what you really want you let me know
I'll cut it out, cut it out, cut my heart out, with some more
so-called friends
And we can meet at the house after the show
And you will smile and lie to my face, I'll never know
I'll never know, never know it again
To fall in love you get fucked
You give in until you both give up
So give in to your next sweet young love
To fall in love you get to fuck
So who's the whore？
So who's the whore？
Can't count the lies
You get to fuck, so who's the whore？
So who's the whore？
You twist my words to fit the end
So what's a friend？
So what's a friend？
The truth remains to get your end
So what's a friend？
So what's a friend？
So what's a friend？
So what's a friend？
So what's a friend？
2.Jean's T.V.
I tell them every dream I've ever had
I tell them every place I have ever gone
And if there's a fear of empty space
I need to be surrounded by someone
Waiting for a chance that things could change
Or spend another night among the dead
Searching for a calming presence
I'm so excitable
Nothing happens, I just can't go on
Tell me why we have to live like this
Waiting for a certain, distant fall
Comfort is as unlikely as escape
And love is always so conditional
I'm tired of the tense and frightened looks
Staring out these tired, anxious eyes
Looking for constant approval
I'm so desirable
Nothing matters, I have to move on
I have to move on
I have to move
I guess it's pretty self-destructive to ruin on what you create
What if I said it's more productive
Would you make a fool out of me？
Cause I'd make a fool out of you
With your cool guitars and rock-star eyes
thrash metaltional on cue
Or is it hypocrites, like us
That fear what truth can do？
3.Life As Expected
Pull back the sheets and climb in bed with me
We can talk all night
I'm not tired, are you？
I'm not tired, are you？
Did you like the party？
Did you see any pretty girls there？
Not that it matters
Neither of us are alone
Neither of us are alone
But sometimes it feels that way
So I need a sign, give me your hand
No more life as expected, I'm through with the usual
I want to fall in love
But if my mouth stays shut and I don't speak up
Then she'll never know, then she'll never know
If I can't relax and I can't tell her how I really feel
What she really means to me
The cops showed up about a quarter to two
I didn't even notice, I was so immersed in my conversation with
you
The band is too loud
Somebody tell them, somebody tell them to turn it down
I don't want to hear a sound
Except for her voice, except for her breath
Except for my beating heart begging her to come closer and
closer
Oh, I want her close to me
But if the 'hands don't clap'
And if I can't relax, this is hopelessness
Why do I even try？
Because tonight will end and then my life goes on, like it
always has
Like it's always going to
The chorus is done and we're still standing in our standard
melody
Only one of us is alone
Only one of us is alone and it's not you
And it's not you
Thank God it's not you
4.Lock 'n chase
Mark the calendar for May
Wasn't May the month we started？
To stick around for magnet compatibility
I'll offer up my cue, it's been too long my dear
This sickening dance
I've got the calluses to prove to you that I've been bruising
too
This is it, we can't get back what went away
Locked to our hopes for something new
That's all you get
A shining image of yourself flawed by mistakes you never made
There's nothing left but a few words when passing by
You can't admit that there's nothing to say
I wish you were more than just a hobby to me
(We could stop or move on, a month or two to be together)
And when you let me go you led me into...
(Why can't I want more than just...)
Your warping vision of the way we'll be once we get so lonely
This is it, a final plea for leniency
Can't wait around for something new
That's all you get
A buried memory of me locked on our slow and tired dance
There's nothing left
Twelve frozen months did melt away
Is this how it had to be
I'd say I do, I wish you'd say
I'd say I do, I wish you'd say
I'd say I do, I wish you'd say it too
5.My collapsing frame
Would you do that if it really meant
They would see you and would be convinced that you love me
And you didn't care who knew it？
Please believe me, when I say it's true
I have never felt as close to you, or anyone as I do right now
And I'm begging you, please don't leave yet
And this moment's glass in a fragile state
I've convinced myself that it won't crack or break
Like a heart, in the winter, when the air is cold
And your words, the same, I know them, I know them
I am broken, I am wounded
Watch me as my fragile frame collapses, collapses on me, on me
But it's not your fault you never meant to hurt me
You hurt (me)
And when it's 5：00 a.m.
And you're too tired to ever sleep
Well there's no rest for the lonely
I hope I die in my sleep
There's never been such hopelessness or devotion
Or devotion
Or devotion
What's devotion？
6.Refused by Light
The light refused us with designed intent
Into darkness we retreated to seek defense
With patience and logic new hope extends
To be different, to be lucky, and to die happy
So I go down, down the stair-air-case and out, out the front
door
There is no time left to waste, a lifetime spent being choked
When I'm at school it's like I'm dead
Then the weekend comes and I resurrect
These old fears, these old dreams
They follow, they're chasing me
To wipe the cobwebs off my tongue
And try to speak those ancient words again
It's patience and logic that killed true love
Make it easy, stop believing that you can trust someone
Go find yourself a dry place where the storm can't touch you any
more
Lay down and let time-ime waste, a lifetime is being choked
Cause there's no place left to feel at home
The years have past and I'm alone
With these same fears, these dead dreams
They strangle, they're killing me
Me
To get far
7.The Raining Holiday(Part Ii)
My eyes are empty
The house is quiet now
Today has claimed and ruined me
My pulse is waiting
As boredom strangles it
I might sleep but I won't dream
Is that what I need？
Is that what I need？
I wanted to see, I want to believe
So I scratch and scrape to find
To find a reason to live in a god or a girl
Oh, I tried, I tried
To abandon guilt, other things that don't exist
The hours numb me
Some words are stinging still
But I don't feel them when they do
My head is open, my eyes are bleeding
And they demand to see the truth, the truth, the truth
But what would that prove？
But what would that prove？
I wanted it too, I wanted it too
And I strain to see the sun
I'm just so sick of the gray and the rain
This is it, I am done
I am done
And I'm laying down
Let today roll off my back, I'll be all right
8.The role of the hero in antiquity
I fell asleep today, it rained all afternoon
The apartment felt too small, I take up to much room
The night has worn away but she hasn't disappeared
I wanted to say good-bye, but the lonely gray of privacy abounds
Like the kings of ancient times
The light has struck, opened our eyes
And what we saw, the glory of our life unfolds before us
At the edge of all our dreams, nothing is the way it seems we
used to be
As history wipes clean the slate that sits....in our eyes
In our eyes
I fell asleep today, it rained all afternoon
The apartment felt too small, I take up to much room
The night has worn away but she hasn't disappeared
I want to say, I want to say, I want to say goodbye
And you, you'll always be my friend (I fell asleep today, it
rained all afternoon)
I never wanted this to end and now it has (The apartment felt
too small, I take up to much room)
(The night has worn away but she hasn't disappeared)
Forgetfulness will dry the tears that fall....from our eyes (I
want to say, I want to say, I want to say goodbye)
From our eyes
From our eyes
9.The Uneventful Vacation(Part I)
Beauty is empty eyes
Completely void of any warmth or light that complicates our
sight
Meaning succeeds itself and from the ashes raises new beliefs
That I've never felt
Doomed to fail, 'cause sound is directional
And I'm the only one that hears it now
And I'm the only one that's dead enough to not care, to not feel
Now I hear it every night, silence seeps in through the windows
I hear the hollows of your eyes and it becomes you
It's a nothing that you can't hide
(Ahhhhh!)
It's all wrong
(Quick)
Does this hurt？
Abandon sense of 'hands don't clap'
I'll never be the same
10.The walk-around problem
It's the same plan inscribed on me
Cause there's only one design
There's some time allowed to me
But Saturday came and went, and I...
And I still want and I still need
Just don't remind me, just don't remind me
'Cause I still feel and I still need
To feel like I have learned, adapted, and tried
The hungry ones survive
The rest just fall behind
The rest just wait to die
I could have learned to deal with
Kneeling down and living out my life
Like I'm supposed to
But it's too late now for that
These eyes were circumcised from the design
Wait, have I been ruined？
Well, such blinding faith could ruin us
And from now on I will not hide this fear
(Ruin us)
This evolving heart, from stage to stage
Til nothing's left to learn
Cheated and lied, the weakest ones subside
They'll just get left behind
They just can't wait to die, and neither can I
11.The way things had to be
Why do we always end up like this？
The same position on the couch staring into each other's eyes
But do we have to talk about this now
And do I have to feel like crying？
Because I, I don't want to run
And don't come back again, we could have avoided this
Five desperate hours pass and now we know the truth
That I can't learn to love you
So desperate I can taste it
Wishing things were different
But still I cannot change
Run, and don't look back again
There's nothing left to see
These empty months have proved my inability to treat you like
you deserve to be treated
But then you can't expect me to change who I am
So from now on I will not leave myself open to needing someone
And trust is not the answer
That's just what we do when we can't stand to be alone again
12.We'll Always Have Paris
Baby, I know you hate it when I call you that
But it's the only word that half-describes the way you're acting
tonight
And at the restaurant
Where all your ghosts still haunt you just like you feared
Under this table, all these years they stayed
Waiting for your return
Your cigarette to burn their whole world through
A thousand things you thought they'd do
Everytime you call I feel worse
Throwing chairs
Stolen rings
Frozen air
And as I walked away I heard you say
'You're not the only one'
And as I watch you sleep it's hard for me
To keep from waking you
To tell you everything I did
And when I listen to you breathe I know exactly what you have
always need
You wanted from me
And every time you're here it gets worse
Throwing chairs
Stolen hearts
Tasteless air
I waited all day at the cafe but you never came
But you never came
But you never came
And the hearts of the faithful who died on this table
Have left me with nothing at all to hold onto
At all to hold on
At all to hold on
But I want to hold on too
But I have got to hold on to you
Throwing chairs
Broken rings
Open air
I waited all day at the cafe but you never came
