2.Attention Attention

Lyricist:William Beckett, Michael Carden

Attention, attention, may I have all your eyes and ears
To the front of the room, if only, if only for one second

This table has taken a turn for the worst, rock bottom
And over the edge, well, it's not like it hurts that much anyway
Upside-down and inside-out, when I leave here I'm goin' alone
Well, it's not like, not like it hurts much anyway

Attention, attention, may I have all your eyes and ears
To the front of the room, if only, if only for one second
Hear what I have to say, oh, did I mention when I see you
It stings like hell? To the fact that we could have somethin'
That will never happen, hear what I have to

This balance has weighed out our heart's desire, I'm tryin'
To make it alone, well, it's not like it hurts that much anyway
Upside-down and inside out, when I leave here I'm goin' alone
but I'm dyin'
I'm dyin' to touch and it's not like, not like it hurts much
anyway

Attention, attention, may I have all your eyes and ears
To the front of the room, if only, if only for one second
Hear what I have to say, oh, did I mention when I see you
It stings like hell? To the fact that we could have somethin',
somethin'

Attention, attention, may I have all your eyes and ears
To the front of the room, if only, if only for one second
Hear what I have to say, oh, did I mention when I see you
It stings like hell? To the fact that we could have somethin'
That will never happen, hear what I have to

Attention, attention, upside-down and inside-out
Attention, attention, upside-down and inside-out


3.The Fever

Lyricist:William Beckett, Michael Carden

Lies are lies in everybody's eyes
And I don't believe you

When the summer is gone
It won't be long
'Til someone's got the fever creeping inside

When the city is moving
And your eyes, they are a-moving
And you just can't fight that feeling
But you said it's the last time

Lies are lies in everybody's eyes
And I don't believe you
Lies are lies in everybody's eyes
And I don't believe you
Lies are lies in everybody's eyes
And lies are lies

I can't fight it, no, I just can't fight it
Can't fight it, no, I just can't fight it, now
When the summer is gone
It won't be long until someone's
Got the fever creeping inside

When the city is moving and your eyes
They are a moving and you just can't stop
You just can't fight it, ya

This is the last time
Lies are lies in everybody's eyes
And I don't believe you
Lies are lies in everybody's eyes
And I don't believe you
Lies are lies in everybody's eyes
Lies are lies

Can't fight it, no, I just can't fight it
Can't fight it, no, I just can't
Well, we all agree that we don't believe
This is the last time
This is the last time

Well, they promised you
Now you see the truth
This is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time

And everyone's got the fever
(Lies are lies, lies are lies, lies are lies)
Lies are lies
(Lies are lies, lies are lies)
Lies are lies in everybody's eyes

Lies are lies in everybody's eyes
And I don't believe you
Lies are lies in everybody's eyes
And I don't believe you
Lies are lies in everybody's eyes
Lies are lies

Can't fight it, no, I just can't fight it
Can't fight it, no, I just can't
Well we all agree that we don't believe
This is the last time
This is the last time

Well, they promised you
Now you see the truth
This is the last time
(Times five)

When the summer is gone
It won't be long until someone's
Got the fever


4.In The Rearview

Lyricist:William Beckett, Michael Carden

So I got your message
And it's been a long time
Since we have spoken
Face to face

I'll count out the questions
Your cause of interest
Just left a deathliest
Buried in their graves

Why now?
When I was feeling just content enough
To forget you
I found skeletons grow stronger
When kept from the light

I would rather die
Than admit that I
Don't know, don't know

I would rather die
Than admit that I
Don't know, don't know

You would rather be alone
Than admit that you were wrong
Than admit that you were wrong

There's blood on the freeway
Painting a poison's past
Kissed with a heartbreak
Washed away

You're back to your old ways
Carelessly leaving tracks
The road you have chosen
I refuse to take

Why now?
When I was feeling just content enough
To forget you
I found skeletons grow stronger
When kept from the light

I would rather die
Than admit that I
Don't know, don't know

I would rather die
Than admit that I
Don't know, don't know

You would rather be alone
Than admit that you were wrong
Than admit that you were wrong

I would rather die
Than admit that I
Don't know, don't know

I would rather die
Than admit that I
Don't know, don't know
You would rather be alone

Why now?
When I was feeling just content enough
To forget you
I found skeletons grow stronger
When kept in the rearview

Why now?
When I was feeling just content enough
To forget you
I found skeletons grow stronger
When kept in the rearview
In the rearview


5.New York (Saint In The City)

Lyricist:William Beckett, Michael Carden

She says, 'You can't stay a saint
That long in the city'
You laugh at the thought
On the, the elevator down

You're just a phone call away
You're placing a big blind bet
On the underdog

And though it's a stretch
You believe when you're against the odds
And on your feet

With you at your best
And promises kept
She'd rather stay here with you
On the laziest afternoons with you

Lost in Pacific Time
With the sound of a dial tone
Let the memories count the miles
And never be forgotten

You woke to the screech
Of the wheels on a runway
An ocean of praise on a stage
The songs of your love
Fall to your knees

With you at your best
This is all you've got left
She'd rather stay here with you
On the laziest afternoons with you

Lost in Pacific Time
With the sound of a dial tone
Let the memories count the miles
And never be forgotten

When hearts hang on the line
And all that you fear has happened
Let the memories count the miles
And never be forgotten

Was it something that you said
Something that you did
To make you leave her here alone?

Was it something that you said
Something that you did
To make her leave you here?
Don't leave me here alone

Lost in Pacific Time
With the sound of a dial tone
Let the memories count the miles
And never be forgotten

When hearts hang on the line
And all that you fear has happened
Let the memories count the miles
And never be forgotten


6.Sputter

Lyricist:William Beckett, Michael Carden

Wake up, try on your disguise
Would they recognize you anyway?
Would they?

Dead leaves lie down beneath your feet
As you step into the street
And notice the distance between
Hearts and homes but still, you know

It's all right
You're not looking back this time
You know it's all right
You're stepping on the cracks
And you feel fine

Don't waste your breath
You wouldn't want this anyway
If you did, I think I'd let you
Talk this to death

Or in circles, like we're in aeroplanes
And all along
I knew that we would sputter out
We would sputter

Outside, construction workers pour
A brand new basement floor
But then the ground starts shaking
Fault lines to your own front door

I looked at this and thought of you
And all that is and isn't true
And with the strength left in me
Walked on while the walls came down

It's all right
You're not looking back this time
You know it's all right
I'm stepping on the cracks
And I feel fine

Don't waste your breath
You wouldn't want this anyway
If you did, I think I'd let you
Talk this to death

Or in circles, like we're in aeroplanes
And all along
I knew that we would sputter out

We would sputter
We would sputter
We would sputter
We would sputter out

Don't waste your breath
You wouldn't want this anyway
'Cause if you did, I think I'd let you

Talk this to death
And circle like we're in aeroplanes
And all along
I knew that we would sputter out

(We would sputter)
And all along
I knew that we would sputter out

(We would sputter)
And all along
I knew that we would sputter out
We would sputter
We would sputter down


7.Days Like Masquerades

Lyricist:William Beckett, Michael Carden

I said, hey, you, this is me
The idealist inside that holds your love
On a string, wound and tied like kites
To all your hopes and dreams

What a tangled mess
That they've turned out to be
Take a breath
And ask yourself what matters

Days like masquerades
Silent, hiding in the shadows
Oh, stripped of their disguise

Leaves you haunted as you scatter
But you're always on my mind
You're always on my mind

When you feel lost out at sea
Surrounded by unequal sides
The same routine, becoming what you swore
You'd never be, don't distress

There's a big bright place
If you stay close to me
Take a breath
And I'll show you what matters

Days like masquerades
Silent, hiding in the shadows
Oh, stripped of their disguise

Leaves you haunted as you scatter
But you're always on my mind
You're always on my mind

You're always on my mind
You're always on my mind

Days like masquerades
Take a breath and feel what matters
Days like masquerades
Take a breath and feel what matters

Days like masquerades
Take a breath and feel what matters
Days like masquerades
Take a breath and feel, a breath and feel


8.I'm Yours Tonight

Lyricist:William Beckett, Michael Carden

Forever alone until I found you
Now you're always there
Voice on the air, scent on my clothes

Oh, but when the sun
Exposes all my demons
Will you stay around for us?

I'll help you find your way
Every moment you're awake
You know I'll stay even in your dreams

I'll pull the stars down from the heavens
To fill your empty skies
I'm yours tonight, I'm yours tonight

Whenever you go, they say I'm bad news
When everyone agrees
Whispers start sounding like screams

Oh, but I know what you want
To say before the words escape your teeth
Will you trust in me?

I'll help you find your way
Every moment you're awake
You know I'll stay even in your dreams

I'll pull the stars down from the heavens
To fill your empty skies
I'm yours tonight, I'm yours tonight

My good intentions
Can leave the hardest hearts
The harshest scars you've ever seen

My bad impressions
They will follow me
Makin' enemies that I can't see

Forever alone till I found you
I know that you'll stay
You won't run away

I'll help you find your way
Every moment you're awake
You know I'll stay even in your dreams

I'll pull the stars down from the heavens
To fill your empty skies
I'm yours tonight

I'll help you find your way
Every moment you're awake
You know I'll stay even in your dreams

I'll pull the stars down from the heavens
To fill your empty skies
I'm yours tonight
(I'm yours tonight)
I'm yours tonight


9.Fox On The Run


I
Don't wanna know your name,
Cause you don't look the same,
The way you did before.
OK
You think you got a pretty face,
But the rest of you is out of place,
You looked all right before.

Fox on the run.
You scream and everybody comes
A running.
Take a run and hide
yourself away.
Foxy's on the run.

F-foxy,
Fox on the run
And hide away.

You
You talk about just every band,
But the names you drop are second hand.
I've heard it all before.
I
Don't wanna know your name,
Cause you don't look the same,
The way you did before.

Fox on the run.
You scream and everybody comes
A running.
Take a run and hide
yourself away.
Foxy's on the run.

F-foxy,
Fox on the run
And hide away.

Foxy,
Fox on the run.
You scream and everybody comes
A running.
Take a run and hide
Yourself away.
Foxy's on the run

F-foxy,
Fox on the run.
You scream and everybody comes
A running.
Take a run and hide
Yourself away.
Foxy's on the run

F-f-f-foxy


10.Black Mamba (Teddybears Remix)

Lyricist:Jr., William Beckett, Michael Steven Carden

We've got one chance to break out
And we need it now
'Cause I'm sick and tired of waiting
Sick of this fucking apartment

Love me or leave me or rip me apart
This is the voice that I was given
And if you don't like it take a long walk off
Of the shortest pier you can find
And I'll be singing it out, I'll be singing

Oh, Mr. Magazine
I never wrote one single thing for you
Your so-called music scene
You don't mean a thing to me

Pick it up, pick it up, what you wanted
Pick it up, pick it up, you need it too
Pick it up, pick it up, what you wanted
Pick it up, pick it up

Pick it up, pick it up, what you wanted
Pick it up, pick it up, you need it too
Pick it up, pick it up, what you wanted
Pick it up, pick it up

When they review the debut
What if the critics hate you?
Don't worry 'cause they might just catch
Somebody off their feet

Well, they can love it or leave it or rip it apart
We're living what we're singing
So I guess that's a step in the right direction
Clever composition and the honesty, honesty

Oh, Mr. Magazine
I never wrote one single thing for you
Your so-called music scene
You both mean shit to me

Pick it up, pick it up, what you wanted
Pick it up, pick it up, you need it too
Pick it up, pick it up, what you wanted
Pick it up, pick it up

Pick it up, pick it up, what you wanted
Pick it up, pick it up, you need it too
Pick it up, pick it up, what you wanted
Pick it up, pick it up


11.Pour Yourself A Drink

Lyricist:Jr., William Beckett, Michael Steven Carden

Pour yourself a drink, girl
Then make one for me
We haven't even met yet
And I'm sure that we won't
I'm right back where I started

The air in here is shaking every single nerve
I'm trying hard to let go
But my heart, it won't let me love you
I'm right back where I started
Right back, right back

Move it on up
We're walking on the edge
Everyone here has demons in their past, now

Move it on up
You're walking on the edge
Everyone here has demons in their past, now

The only thing worse for you than you, is me
The only thing worse for you than you, is me

The life that I've chosen to live
Will take your heart and swallow it
The only thing worse for you than you
Is to make you wait for me
That is why we will never meet


12.Working Class Hero (John Lennon Cover)

Lyricist:John Lennon

As soon as you're born, they make you feel small
By giving you no time, instead of it all
'Til the pain is so big, you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
'Til you're so fucking crazy, you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function, you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and class, less and free
But you're still fucking peasants, as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

There's room at the top, they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

If you want to be a hero, well just follow me
If you want to be a hero, well just follow me
