Vices & Virtues

Panic! At The Disco Vices & Virtues Lyrics
1.The Ballad Of Mona Lisa

She paints her fingers with a close precision
He starts to notice empty bottles of gin
And takes a moment to assess the sin
She's paid for

A lonely speaker in a conversation
Her words are spinning through his ears again
There's nothing wrong with just a taste
of what you've paid for

Say what you mean
Tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign
I want to believe
Woah, Mona Lisa,
You're guaranteed to run this town
Woah, Mona Lisa,
I'd pay to see you frown

He senses something, call it desperation
Another dollar, another day
And if she had the proper words to say,
She would tell him
But she'd have nothing left to sell him

Say what you mean
Tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign
I want to believe
Woah, Mona Lisa,
You're guaranteed to run this town
Woah, Mona Lisa,
I'd pay to see you frown

Mona Lisa, wear me out
Pleased to please Ya
Mona Lisa, wear me out
Say what you mean
Tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign
I want to believe
Woah, Mona Lisa,
You're guaranteed to run this town
Woah, Mona Lisa,
I'd pay to see you frown
Say what you mean
Tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign
I want to believe

There's nothing wrong with just a taste
of what you've paid for


2.Let's Kill Tonight

If I retreat,
Words, wars, and symphonies make room!
We're taking over, here.
You're the galantine,
Cold and alone, it suits you well.
Won't find me perching here again

May your feet serve you well,
And the rest be sent to Hell,
Where they always have belonged.
Cold hearts brew colder songs.
Fate will play us out
With a song of pure romance.
So stomp your feet and clap your hands.

Let's kill, tonight.
Kill tonight.
Show them all you're not the ordinary type.
Let's kill, tonight.
Kill tonight.
Show them all you're not the ordinary type.
Let's kill, tonight.

May your feet serve you well,
And the rest be sent to Hell,
Where they always have belonged.
Cold hearts brew colder songs.
Fate will play us out
With a song of pure romance.
So stomp your feet and clap your hands.
Let's kill, tonight.
Kill tonight.
Show them all you're not the ordinary type.
Let's kill, tonight.
Kill tonight.
Show them all you're not the ordinary type.
Let's kill, tonight.
Kill tonight.
Show them all you're not the ordinary type.
Let's kill, tonight.
Kill tonight.
Show them all you're not the ordinary type.
Let's kill, tonight.


3.Hurricane

Are you worth your weight in gold?
'Cause you're behind my eyelids when I'm all alone.
Hey stranger, I want you to catch me like a cold.
You and God both got the guns
And when you shoot, I think I'd duck.
I led the revolution in my bedroom,
And I set all the zippers free.
We said, 'No more war!
No more clothes! Give me peace!
Oh, kiss me!'
Hey hey, We are a hurricane
Drop our anchors in a storm.
Hey, they will never be the same.
A fire in a flask to keep us warm.
'Cause they know, I know,
That they don't look like me.
Oh they know, I know
That they don't sound like me.
You'll dance to anything
You'll dance to anything
Oh I'd confess, I'd confess in a room where I'm blessed.
But he didn't come and speak to me,
Or put my heart at ease.
And I believe that, half the time,
I am a wolf among the sheep
Gnawing at the wool over my eyes.
I led the revolution in my bedroom,
And I set all the zippers free.
We said, 'No more war!
No more clothes! Give me peace!
Oh, kiss me!'
Hey hey, We are a hurricane
Drop our anchors in a storm.
Hey, they will never be the same.
A fire in a flask to keep us warm.
'Cause they know, I know,
That they don't look like me.
Oh they know, I know
That they don't sound like me.
You'll dance to anything
You'll dance to anything
You'll dance to anything
You'll dance to anything
Fix me, or conflict me
I'll take anything
Fix me, or just conflict me
'Cause I'll take anything
Hey hey, We are a hurricane
Drop our anchors in a storm.
Hey, they will never be the same.
A fire in a flask to keep us warm.
'Cause they know, I know,
That they don't look like me.
Oh they know, I know
That they don't sound like me.
You'll dance to anything
You'll dance to anything


4.Memories

He was the congregation's vagrant
With an unrequited love
When your passion's exaltation
Then finding refuge is not enough
She was the youngest of the family
And the last to be let go
When they decided they would try
And make it on their own
Oh memories where'd you go
You were all I've ever known
How I miss yesterday
And how I let it fade away
Where'd you go-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
When July became December
Their affection fought the cold
But they couldn't quite remember
What inspired them to go
And it was beautifully depressing
Like a streetcar named desire
They were fighting for their love
That had started growing tired
Oh memories where'd you go
You were all I've ever known
How I miss yesterday
And how I let it fade away
Don't fade away

When the money lost momentum
And the bills were piling high
Then the smile had finally faded
From the apple of their eye
They were young and independent
And they thought they had it planned
Should've known right from the start,
You can't predict the end
Oh memories where'd you go
You were all I've ever known
How I miss yesterday
And how I let it fade away
Oh memories where'd you go (Oh-oh-oh)
You were all I've ever known
How I miss yesterday
And how I let it fade away
Don't fade away


5.Trade Mistakes

Placing a smile at the perfect event,
Gracing your skin with the side of my hand.
If I ever leave I could learn to miss you.
But 'sentimental boy' is my nom de plume.
Let me save you, hold this rope.
I may never sleep tonight.
As long as you're still burning bright.
If I could trade mistakes for sheep,
Count me away before you sleep.
I'll stay awake 'til I trade my mistakes or they fade away.

I feel marooned in this body.
Deserted; my organs can go on without me.
You can't fly these wings (fly these wings)
You can't sleep in this box with me.
Let me save you, hold this rope.
I may never sleep tonight.
As long as you're still burning bright.
If I could trade mistakes for sheep,
Count me away before you sleep.
I'll stay awake 'til I trade my mistakes or they fade away.
So let me me save you,
Hold this rope and I'll pull you in.
'Cause I am an anchor.
Save her or feel it sinking in.
Let me save you, hold this rope.
I am an anchor, sinking her.

I may never sleep tonight.
As long as you're still burning bright.
If I could trade mistakes for sheep,
Count me away before you sleep.
I'll stay awake 'til I trade my mistakes or they fade away.


6.Ready To Go (Get Me Out Of My Mind)

Panic! at the Disco - Ready to Go (Get Me Out of My Mind)

You've got these little things,
That you've been running from.
You either love it or guess you don't.
You're such a pretty thing,
To be running from anyone.
A vision with nowhere to go.
So tell me right now,
You think you're ready for it?
I wanna know why you got me going
So let's go, We'll take it out of here.
I think I'm ready to leap.
I'm ready to live,
I'm ready to go-oh oh oh
(Get me out of my mind)
(Get me out of my mind)
I'm ready to go-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-a-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-a-oh-oh
You've got these little things
You wanted something for 'em.
You'll either get it or guess you won't.
What does it really mean to get nothing from anyone?
There's a million ways it could go.
So tell me right now,
You think you're ready for it?
I wanna know why you got me going
So let's go, We'll take it out of here.
I think I'm ready to leap, I'm ready to live
I'm ready to go-oh oh oh
(Get me out of my mind)
(Get me out of my mind)
I'm ready to go-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-a-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-a-oh-oh

I think I'm ready, I think I know I'm ready
I know, I think I'm ready, I think I know I'm ready
I know, I think I'm ready, I think I know I'm ready
I know, I think I'm ready, I think I know I'm ready
I'm ready to go-oh-oh-oh
(Get me out of my mind)
(Get me out of my mind)
I'm ready to go-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-a-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-a-oh-oh
I'm ready to go-oh-oh-oh
(Get me out of my mind)
(Get me out of my mind)
I'm ready to go-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-a-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-a-oh-oh
I'm ready to go-oh-oh-oh
(Get me out of my mind)
(Get me out of my mind)
I'm ready to go-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-a-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-a-oh-oh


7.Always

When the world gets too heavy,
Put it on my back.
I'll be your levy.
You are taking me apart
Like bad glue on a get well card..
It was always you falling for me,
Now there's always time calling for me.
I'm the light blinking at the end of the road,
Blink back to let me know.

I'm a fly that's trapped in a web,
But I'm thinking that my spider's dead.
Oh lonely, lonely little life.
I could kid myself in thinking that I'm fine..
It was always you falling for me,
Now there's always time calling for me.
I'm the light blinking at the end of the road,
Blink back to let me know.
That I'm skin and bone
Just a cane and rusty throne
Oh the castle's under siege,
But the sign outside says 'leave me alone!'
It was always you falling for me,
Now there's always time calling for me.
I'm the light blinking at the end of the road,
Blink back to let me know.
It was always you
Blink back to let me know
It was always you


8.The Calendar

They said, 'If you don't let it out,
You're gonna let it eat you away.'
Well, I'd rather be a cannibal, baby.
Animals like me don't talk anyway.
Feel like an ambulance chaser of faith.
Pray I could replace her,
Forget the way her tears taste.
Oh, the way her tears taste!
Put another 'x' on the calendar.
Summer's on its deathbed.
There is simply nothing worse than knowing how it ends.
And I meant everything I said that night.
I will come back to life,
But only for you.
Only for you.
The world may call it a second chance,
But when I came back, it was more of a relapse.
Anticipation's on the other line,
And obsession called while you were out.
Yeah, it called while you were out.
Put another 'x' on the calendar.
Summer's on its deathbed.
There is simply nothing worse than knowing how it ends.
And I meant everything I said that night.
I will come back to life,
But only for you.
Only for you.
Asleep in the hive,
I guess all the buzzing got to me.
Well, I'm still alive.
At night your body is a symphony,
And I'm conducting.

They said, 'If you don't let it out,
You're gonna let it eat you away.'
Put another 'x' on the calendar.
Summer's on its deathbed.
There is simply nothing worse than knowing how it ends.
And I meant everything I said that night.
I will come back to life,
But only for you.
Only for you.
Only for you.
Only for you.
Yeah(But only for you)
(Only for you)
(Only for you)
(Only for you)


9.Sarah Smiles

I was fine, just a guy living on my own,
Waiting for the sky to fall.
Then you called and changed it all, Doll.
Velvet lips and the eyes to pull me in.
We both know you'd already win.
Mm, your original sin.

You fooled me once with your eyes, now, honey,
You fooled me twice with your lies, and I say,
Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care,
She lives in her world, so unaware.
Does she know that my destiny lies with her?
Sarah,(Sarah, Sarah, Sarah)
Oh Sarah,(Sarah)
Are you saving me?

Waking up to a kiss and you're on your way.
I'd really hoped that you would stay,
But you left and went your own way, Babe.
I don't mind, take your time, I got things to do
Besides sit-around-and-wait-for-you.
Oh and I hope you do too.
You fooled me once with your eyes, now, honey,
You fooled me twice with your lies, and I say,
Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care,
She lives in her world, so unaware.
Does she know that my destiny lies with her?
Sarah,
Oh Sarah,
Are you saving me?
And It's killing me inside!
Consuming all my time,
You've left me blind!
And when I think I'm right,
You strip away my pride,
You cast it all aside, but I say,
Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care,
She lives in her world so unaware.
Does she know that my destiny lies with her,
Sarah,(Sarah)
Oh Sarah,(Sarah)
Are you saving me?


10.Nearly Witches (Ever Since We Met...)

My wing tips waltz across naive wood floors.
They creak innocently down the stairs.

Drag melody.
My percussive feet serve cobweb headaches.
As a matching set of marching clocks.
The slumbering apparitions,
That they've come to wake up.

Here I am, composing a burlesque,
Out of where they rest their necks.
Sunken in their splintered cradles,
And ramshackle heads.
They ask for it.
As a girl, you have set your heart on
Haunting me forever from the start.
It's never silent.
Ever since we met,
I only shoot up with your perfume.
It's the only thing
that makes me feel as good as you do.
Ever since we met,
I've got just one regret to live through.
And that one regret is you.

Who does a heart look
If no one has noticed its presence?
And where does it go?

Trembling hands play my heart like a drum,
But the beat's gotten lost in the show.

You have set your heart on
Haunting me forever from the start.
It's never silent.
Ever since we met,
I only shoot up with your perfume.
It's the only thing
that makes me feel as good as you do.
Ever since we met,
I've got just one regret to live through.
And I regret never letting you know!
Ever since we met,
I only shoot up with your perfume.
It's the only thing
that makes me feel as good as you do.
Ever since we met,
I've got just one regret to live through.
And that one regret is you.
