1.Dead On Arrival
Hope this is the last time
'Cause I'd never say no to you
This conversation's been
Dead on arrival
And there's no way
To talk to you
This conversation's been
Dead on
A rivalry goes so deep
Between me
And this loss of sleep
Over you
This is side one
Flip me over
I know, I'm not your
Favorite record
But the songs you grow to like
Never stick at first
So, I'm writing you a chorus
And here is your verse
No, it's not the last time
'Cause I'd never say no to you
This conversation's still
Dead on arrival
And there's no way
To talk, to you
When you're
Dead on
A rivalry goes so deep
Between me
And this loss of sleep
Over you
This is side one
Flip me over
I know I'm not your
Favorite record
But the songs you grow to like
Never stick at first
So I'm writing you a chorus
And here is your
This is side one
Flip me over
I know I'm not your
Favorite record, oh no, so
This is side one
Flip me over
This is side one
Flip me over
I know I'm not you're
Favorite record
The songs you grow to like
Never stick at first
So I'm writing you a chorus
And here is your verse
Here is your
2.Grand Theft Autumn ／ Where Is Your Boy( ／ )
Where is your boy tonight？ I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know：
You were the last good thing about this part of town.
When I wake up,
I'm willing to take my chances on the hope I forget that you
hate,
Him more than you notice.
I wrote this for you. (For you so...)
You need him. I could be him...
I could be an accident but I'm still trying.
That's more than I can say for him.
Where is your boy tonight？ I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know：
You were the last good thing about this part of town.
Someday I'll appreciate in value, get off my ass and call you...
But in the meantime I'll sport my brand new fashion of waking
up,
With pants on at 4：00 in the afternoon.
You need him. I could be him...
I could be an accident but I'm still trying.
That's more than I can say for him.
Where is your boy tonight？ I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know：
You were the last good thing about this part of town.
Where is your boy tonight？ I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know：
You were the last good thing about this part of town.
Where is your boy tonight？ I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know：
You were the last good thing about this part of town.
3.Saturday
I'm good to go
And I'm going nowhere fast
It could be worse
It could be taking you there with me
I'm good to go
But it looks like I'm still on my own
I'm good to go
For something golden
Though the motions I've been going through have failed
And I'm coasting on potential towards a wall
At a 100 miles an hour
When I say
Two more weeks
My foot is in the door(yeah)
I can't sleep
In the wake of Saturday(Saturday)
Saturday
When these open doors were open-ended
Saturday
When these open doors were open-ended
Pete and I attacked the lost Astoria＊
with promise and precision and mess of youthful innocence
And I read about the afterlife
But I never really lived more than an hour(more than an hour)
When I say
Two more weeks
My foot is in the door(yeah)
I can't sleep
In the wake of Saturday(Saturday)
Saturday
When these open doors were open-ended
Saturday
When these open doors were open-ended
And I read about the afterlife
But I never really lived
And I read about the afterlife
But I never really lived
Two more weeks
My foot is in the door
Me and Pete
In the wake of Saturday
Saturday
When these open doors were open-ended
Saturday
When these open doors were open-ended

4.Sugar, We're Goin Down
Am I more than you bargained for yet
I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
Cause that's just who I am this week
Lie in the grass next to the mausoleum
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(A notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)
Drop a heart and break a name
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, were going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, were going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
Is this more than you bargained for yet
Oh don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)
Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, were going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
Down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
We're going down, down in an earlier round
(Take aim at myself)
And Sugar, were going down swinging
(Take back what you said)
I'll be your number one with a bullet
(Take aim at myself)
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
We're going down, down
(Down, down)
Down, down
(Down, down)
We're going down, down
(Down, down)
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
We're going down, down in an earlier round
(Take aim at myself)
And Sugar, were going down swinging
(Take back what you said)
I'll be your number one with a bullet
(Take aim at myself)
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
5.Dance, Dance
She says she's no good with words but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out
A joke of a romantic stuck to my tongue
And weighed down with words too overdramatic
Tonight it's 'it cant get much worse'
Vs. 'no one should ever feel like..'
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I write them
I need them just to get by
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you love to lead
Dance this is the way they'd look
If they knew how misery loved me
You always fold just before you're found out
Drink up its last call
Last resort
But only the first mistake and I...
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by
Why don't you show me a little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress(love)
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you love to lead
Dance this is the way they'd look
If they knew how misery loved me
Why don't you show me a little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress(love)
I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with
me
Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance

7.This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race( )
I am an arms dealer
Fitting you with weapons in the form of words
And don't really care which side wins
As long as the room keeps singing
That's just the business I'm in
This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race
I'm not a shoulder to cry on
But, I digress
I'm a leading man
I wrote the gospel on giving up
(You look pretty sinking)
But the real bombshells have already sunk
(Prima-donnas of the gutter)
At night we're painting your trash gold while you sleep
Crashing not like hips or cars,
No, more like parties
This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race
Bandwagon's full
Please, catch another
I'm a leading man
All the boys who the dance floor didn't love
And all the girls whose lips couldn't move fast enough
Sing, until your lungs give out
This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race
(Now you)
This ain't a Scene, it's a god damn arms race
(Wear out the groove)
This ain't a Scene, it's a god damn arms race
(Sing out loud)
This ain't a Scene, it's a god damn arms race
(Oh, oh)
This ain't a Scene, it's a god damn arms race
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate oh-so intricate
And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate oh-so intricate
8.Thnks Fr Th Mmrs
I'm gonna make you bend and break.
Say a prayer, but let the good times roll,
In case god doesn't show.
Let the good times roll.
Let the good times roll.
And I want these word to make things right,
But it's the wrongs that make the words come to life.
'Who does he think he is？'
If that's the worst you got,
Better put your fingers back to the keys.
One night and one more time.
Thanks for the memories,
Even though they weren't so great.
'He tastes like you only sweeter.'
One night and one more time.
Thanks for the memories.
Thanks for the memories.
'He, he tastes like you only sweeter.'
Ohhhhhh.
Been looking forward to the future,
But my eyesight is going bad.
And this crystal ball,
Is always cloudy,
Except for when you look into the past.
One night stand.
One night stand off.
One night and one more time.
Thanks for the memories,
Even though they weren't so great.
'He tastes like you only sweeter.'
One night yeah and one more time.
Thanks for the memories.
Thanks for the memories.
'He, he tastes like you only sweeter.'
Ohhhhhh.
They say I only think in the form of crunching numbers.
In hotel rooms,
Collecting page six lovers.
Get me out of my mind.
Get you out of those clothes.
I'm a liner away,
From getting you into the mood.
One night and one more time.
Thanks for the memories,
Even though they weren't so great.
'He tastes like you only sweeter.'
One night and one more time.
Thanks for the memories.
Thanks for the memories.
'He, he tastes like you only sweeter.'
Ohhhhhh.
One more night.

Even though they weren't so great.
'He tastes like you only sweeter.'
One night and one more time.
Thanks for the memories.
Thanks for the memories.
'He, he tastes like you only sweeter.'
9.'The Take Over, The Breaks Over'( )
Baby, seasons change but people don't.
And I'm always there waiting in the back room.
I'm boring but over compsenate with,
Headlines and flash flash flash photography.
But don't pretend you ever forgot about me.
Don't pretend you ever forgot about me.
Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee？
Style your wake for fashion magazines.
Widow or a divorcee？
Don't pretend.
Don't pretend.
(We don't fight fair.)
We don't fight fair.
They say your head can be a prison.
Then these are just conjugal visits.
People will dissect us till,
This doesn't mean a thing anymore.
Don't pretend you ever forgot about me.

Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee？
Style your wake for fashion magazines. O-o-o-o-o.

We're dropped and well concealed in secret places.(Woah.)

10.I'm Like A Lawyer With The Way I'm Always Trying To Get You Off(Me
＆ You)
Last year's wishes,
Are this year's apologies.
Every last time I come home,
I take my last chance,
To burn a bridge or two.
I only keep myself this sick in the head,
'Cause I know how the words get you.
We're the new face of failure.
Prettier and younger but not any better off.
Bulletproof loneliness,
At best.
At best.
Me and you,
Setting in a honeymoon.
If I woke up next to you.
(If I woke up next to you.)
Me and you,
Setting in a honeymoon.
If I woke up next to you.
(If I woke up next to you.)
Collect the bad habits,
That you couldn't bare to keep,
Out of the woods but I love,
A tree I used to lay beneath.
Kiss teeth stained red,
From a sour bottle, baby girl,
With eyes the size of baby worlds.
We're the new face of failure.
Prettier and younger but not any better off.
Bulletproof loneliness,
At best.
At best.
Me and you,
Setting in a honeymoon.
If I woke up next to you.
(If I woke up next to you.)
Me and you,
Setting in a honeymoon.
If I woke up next to you.
(If I woke up next to you.)
Me and you,
Setting in a honeymoon.
If I woke up next to you.
(If I woke up next to you.)
Me and you,
Setting in a honeymoon.
If I woke up next to you.
(If I woke up next to you.)
The best,
Way to make it through,
With hearts and wrists intact
Is to realize,
Two out of three ain't bad.
Ain't bad.
Me and you,
Setting in a honeymoon.
If I woke up next to you.
(If I woke up next to you.)
Me And you,
(Honeymoon.)
Setting in a honeymoon.
(A honeymoon.)
Me and you,
Setting in a honeymoon.
If I woke up next to you.
(If I woke up next to you.)
Me and you,
Setting in a honeymoon.
If I woke up next to you.
(Honeymoon.)
11.Beat It - feat. John Mayer( - feat. )
They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it
You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it
You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you,
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it

12.I Don't Care
Say my name and his in the same breath
I dare you to say they taste the same
Let the leaves fall off in the summer
And let December glow in flames
Brace myself and let go
Start it over again in Mexico
These friends, they don't love you
They just love the hotel suites now
I don't care what you think
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness in misery
Said I don't care what you think
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness in misery
Oh take a chance
Let your body get a tolerance
I'm not a chance, but a heat wave in your pants
Pull a breath like another cigarette
Palms up, I'm trading 'em(trading 'em)
I'm the oracle in my chest
Let the guitar scream like a fascist
Sweat it out, shut your mouth
Free love on the streets
But in the alley I ain't that cheap, now
I don't care what you think
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness in misery
Said I don't care what you think
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness in misery
Said-a, I don't care just a-what you think
As long as it's about me
You said I don't care just what you think
As long as it's about me
Said-a I don't care(I don't care)
Said I don't care(I don't care)
Said I don't care,
I don't care
I don't care(I don't care)
I said-a
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care what you think
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness in misery
I don't care what you think
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness in misery

Oh, why, why, why won't the world revolve around me？

14.What A Catch, Donnie
I got troubled thoughts
And the self-esteem to match
What a catch, what a catch
You'll never catch us
So just let me be
Said I'll be fine
Till the hospital or American Embassy
Miss Flack said I still want you back
Yeah, Miss Flack said I still want you back
I got troubled thoughts
And the self-esteem to match
What a catch, what a catch
And all I can think of
Is the way I'm the one
Who charmed the one
Who gave up on you
Who gave up on you
They say the captain
Goes down with the ship
So, when the world ends
Will God go down with it？
Miss Flack said I still want you back
Yeah, Miss Flack said I still want you back
I got troubled thoughts
And the self-esteem to match
What a catch, what a catch
And all I can think of
Is the way I'm the one
Who charmed the one
Who gave up on you
Who gave up on you
What a catch
What a catch
What a catch
What a catch
I will never end up like him
Behind my back, I already am
Keep a calendar
This way you will always know
I got troubled thoughts
And the self-esteem to match
What a catch, what a catch
And all I can think of
Is the way I'm the one
Who charmed the one
Who gave up on you
Who gave up on you
Where is your boy tonight？
I hope he is a gentleman
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And sugar, we're goin' down swinging
Dance, dance, we're falling apart to halftime
Dance, dance, and these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
He tastes like you, only sweeter
Growing up, growing up
I got troubled thoughts
And the self-esteem to match
What a catch, what a catch
15.Alpha Dog
Clap until your hands hurt
Standing ovations or boos
Watch us until we blur
Walk off into the sunset
Tell rock and roll I'm alone again
I wanna put the Midwest home again
You time has passed, they say never means never
So the fresh stares won't last but never means forever
Never means forever
Alpha dog and oh-oh-omegalomaniac-aaaaac
Alpha dog and oh-omega-megalo
Welcome to the new déjà vu
I can almost see the wizard through the curtains
Alpha dog and oh-oh-omegalomaniac-aaaaac
We must have the best coach
Tell the best jokes
We must make it hard to look so easy
Doing something so hard
You must see my way
They scream when they look at me
I'm a, I'm a star
I'm a, I'm a star
I'm a star
Oh, I'm a star

He's a fighter
Past his prime
He's in the gutter waving his hand
I'm just fine
You're not the first
Or the last
But you're possibly the prettiest, whoa
He's a fighter
Past his prime
He's in the gutter waving his hand
Alpha dog and oh-oh-omegalomaniac-aaaaac

Welcome to the new déjà vu
I can almost see the wizard through the curtains
Alpha dog and oh-oh-omegalomaniac-aaaaac

A downward spiral just a pirouette
Getting worse til there's nothing left
What good comes of something when I'm just the ghost of nothing？
'I'm just the man on the balcony singing'：
'Nobody will ever remember me,'
Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your knees

Lunatic of a god or a god of a lunatic？
Oh, their faces are dancing
They're dancing til
Til they can't stand it
A composer but never composed
Singing the symphonies of the overdosed
A composer but never composed
'Singing'：
'I only want what I can't have'
'Heralded as a king before I had a birthday
With double digits
Fit the crown to my head but I was only a kid'
'I'm just the man on the balcony singing'：

Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your knees

17.Yule Shoot Your Eye Out
These are your good years
don't take my advice
you never wanted the nice boys anyway
and I'm of good cheer
cause I've been checking my list
the gifts you're receiving from me
will be
one awkward silence
and two hopes you cry yourself to sleep
staying up, waiting by the phone
and all I want this year is for you to dedicate your last
breathe to me
before you bury yourself alive
don't come home for Christmas
you're the last thing I wanna see
underneath the tree
merry Christmas, I could care less
happy new years baby
you owe me
the best gift I will ever ask for
don't call me up, when the snow comes down
its the only thing I want this year
one awkward silence
and two hopes you cry yourself to sleep
staying up, waiting by the phone
all I want this year is for you to dedicate your last breathe to
me
before you bury yourself alive
don't come home for Christmas
you're the last thing I wanna see
underneath the tree
merry Christmas, I could care less
don't come home for Christmas
you're the last thing I wanna see
underneath the tree(don't come home for Christmas)
merry Christmas, I could care less
don't come home for Christmas
you're the last thing I wanna see
underneath the tree(don't come home for Christmas)
merry Christmas, I could care less
18.Growing Up
I dried my eyes, now I crust them with sleep
I'll crust them over
She begged me 'don't hate me'
She spun me a story
Where winning looks like losing
And I'm winning every time
So thread spools sweetie, get ready
Until my silk is sold
Growing up
Growing up
Growing up
Yeah
I'll buy myself a new
Yeah
I'll buy myself a new
I've dried my eyes, now it's 'rushmore'
I'm deep with futures like Chicago
Glenview never meant a thing to me
She never meant a thing to me
Except for putting idealists in a body bag
Forget it
I'll go out tonight to piss on her doorstep
And listen to the misfits 'where eagles dare' to swallow whole
