Whisper War

The Cab Whisper War Lyrics
1.One Of Those Nights

I've been let loose
And now I'm crawling up the walls
Word is I got away
And now I must be caught

Don't leave
Take it from me
I'll be more than a king

I'm going crazy and I've been awake for days
My mirrors are stained with painted portraits of your face

Don't leave
Take it from me
You're my dirty disease

My flat line inhibition is my ammunition
I'm just fighting to get by
Just spit me some direction
I'll be your infection
How could you leave me behind?

I'm a mess and you're worse
Just give me time
To give you a waste of time
One of those nights
Where you leave me for no reason
I'll give you a reason

If seconds heal all wounds
I'll put these tips on you

I brought apologies
Wrapped tight in a bouquet
Just to find out my face had been replaced
Decieved
It was a breeze
I was tossed to the streets

My flat line inhibition is my ammunition
I'm just fighting to get by
Just spit me some direction
I'll be your infection
How could you leave me behind?

I'm a mess and you're worse
Just give me time
To give you a waste of time
One of those nights
When you leave me for no reason
I'll give you a reason

I'm a mess and you're worse
Just give me time
To give you a waste of time
One of those nights
When you leave me for no reason
I'll give you a reason

If seconds heal all wounds
I'll put these tips on you
When faith is left to prove
It's all you have to lose

I'm a mess and you're worse
Just give me time
To give you a waste of time
One of those nights
When you leave me for no reason
I'll give you a reason

I'm a mess and you're worse
Just give me time
To give you a waste of time
One of those nights
When you leave me for no reason
I'll give you a reason


2.Bounce

The lips that slip
Are the lips that press
And the lips that leak
Seem to know you best

I put bodies into motion
Get this skin out in the open
Liars turn me on

Bedspread bandit since '89
You wear your heart on your sleeve
And threw mine to the sky

Bounce, bounce, baby
Bounce back to me
(You don't need this)
Bounce, bounce, baby
Bounce back to me
(You don't need this)
This is it, call it quits
With honesty
(You don't need this)
Every word is a curse
Let loose on me
Your mouth, it moves
But fails to speak
And when you use your lips
They better be on me

The lies that tied
Your tongue in knots
Are the words that grew
To hit my spots

So filthy
Dialed desire
Swallowed pride but spit out fire
Liars turn me on

Bedspread bandit since '89
You wear your heart on your sleeve
And threw mine to the sky

Bounce, bounce, baby
Bounce back to me
(You don't need this)
Bounce, bounce, baby
Bounce back to me
(You don't need this)
This is it, call it quits
With honesty
(You don't need this)
Every word is a curse
Let loose on me
Your mouth, it moves
But fails to speak
And when you use your lips
They better be on me

Bounce, bounce, baby
(Bounce, bounce, baby)
Bounce, bounce, baby
(Bounce, bounce, baby)

So filthy
Dialed desire
Swallowed pride but spit out fire
Liars turn me on

Bounce, bounce, baby
Bounce back to me
(You don't need this)
Bounce, bounce, baby
Bounce back to me
(You don't need this)
This is it, call it quits
With honesty
(You don't need this)
Your mouth, it moves
But fails to speak
And when you use your lips
They better be on me


3.I'll Run

I can see it in your eyes you're scared
All these things they force you to do aren't fair
I'm here to chase away these tears
And baby, we can chase away these fears

Because sometimes, baby, you fall on your back
But girl, you're three times a lady I'll ever have
You know, you know it's true
This is a fight a refuse to lose

And I'll run
(And I'll run)
Have a little faith in me
You're scared and alone
And I'll run
(And I'll run)
This is where we both break free
I'll bring you home, you home, you home

I can hear it in your voice you care
Let me run my fingers in and through your hair
I'll keep you company at night
And baby, I'm here to make this right

Because sometimes, baby, you fall on your back
But girl, you're three times a lady I'll ever have
You know, you know it's true
This is a fight a refuse to lose

And I'll run
(And I'll run)
Have a little faith in me
You're scared and alone
And I'll run
(And I'll run)
This is where we both break free
I'll bring you home, you home, you home

Believe me and don't think twice
And don't leave me or say goodbye
Believe me
Believe me tonight

Believe me and don't think twice
And believe me

And I'll run
Have a little faith in me
You're scared and alone

And I'll run
(And I'll run)
Have a little faith in me
You're scared and alone
And I'll run
(And I'll run)
This is where we both break free
I'll bring you home, you home, you home

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
If you have a little faith in me


4.High Hopes In Velvet Ropes

Baby, take it off
Checkered things on a pretty pawn
This vicious velvet ain't enough
So baby, make a move
My neon eyes are set on you
The devil's language tastes of lust

Tell me, what can I say
To make your body come this way
We're only two in a crowded room
Where others fade away

It's only a crime
If I get caught
It's only a line if it gets bought

I woke up, 12:05
I left that room with no goodbye
And now I'm on my way back home
It's that not your lipstick failed
But girl, I was just born to bail
I do it better on my own

Tell me, what can I say
To make your body come this way
We're only two in a crowded room
Where others fade away

It's only a crime
If I get caught
It's only a line if it gets bought

It's the same game
I play till the give becomes the take
It's the same game
I play till the bend
The bend becomes the break

Baby, take it off
Checkered things on a pretty pawn
This vicious velvet ain't enough
So baby, make a move
My neon eyes are set on you
The devil's language tastes of lust

It's only a line if it gets bought

It's the same game
I play till the give becomes the take
It's the same game
I play till the bend
The bend becomes the break

It's the same game
I play till the give becomes the take
It's the same game
I play till the bend
The bend becomes the break


5.That 70's Song

Lately I've been walking
Through these places that I cannot stand
I guess it's just my history talking
Now I'm refusing to supply your demands

You say the storm will pass
We'll work it out
The roads can get a little rough sometimes
But I'm moving fast without a doubt
Our hearts will beat in separate rooms tonight

Baby, we belong alone
This last second chance is blown
Baby, we belong alone
I've got another you at home
Baby, we belong alone

And lately you've been knocking
But I never really listened or cared
'Cause when I told you I was walking
I was reeling her in with my stare

You say the storm will pass
We'll work it out
The roads can get a little rough sometimes
But I'm moving fast without a doubt
Our hearts will beat in separate rooms tonight

Baby, we belong alone
This last second chance is blown
Baby, we belong alone
I've got another you at home
Baby, we belong alone

Baby, we belong alone
This last second chance is blown
Baby, we belong alone
I've got another you at home

Baby, we belong alone
This last second chance is blown
Baby, we belong alone
I've got another you at home
Baby, we belong alone


6.Take My Hand

Calm your nerves now
And don't worry, just breathe
Are you sure now?
Don't bother packing
Let's just leave

(All of them said)
They wanted change
I hope that you remain the same
To show that this is not a game
Let's end this tragedy today

Now take my hand and we will run away
Down to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy?
It's over, it's over, it's over

Lay down with me
And let me hold you
Baby, just breathe
This is ending
We will get through eventually

(All of them said)
They wanted change
I hope that you remain the same
To show that this is not a game
We'll end this tragedy today

Now take my hand and we will run away
Down to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy?
It's over, it's over, it's over
Now take my hand and we will run away
Down to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy?
It's over, it's over, it's over

We won't be a part of
We won't be a part of this
We won't be a part of
We won't, we won't

Take my hand and we will run away
Down to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy?
It's over, it's over, it's over

Now take my hand and we will run away
Down to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy?
It's over, it's over, it's over

Take my hand and we will run away
Down to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy?
It's over, it's over, it's over now

We won't be a part of
We won't be a part of this
We won't be a part of
We won't, we won't


7.Risky Business

Hide the key
'Cause I'm coming over
To settle the score, whoa, whoa
Don't forget how well I know you
Stop asking and keep dancing

You don't stand a chance, girl
You'll fall apart
Stop talking with your hands, girl
You'll have to start over, over again

Maybe I'll call him up and call you out
Maybe next time you should turn around
Over, over again

Put, put, put your heart
Where your mouth is
Put, put, put your heart
Where your mouth is now

Hide the key
'Cause I'm coming over
To settle the score, whoa, oh
Stop asking and keep dancing

You think that I am blind, girl
My eyes were always floating in your wine, girl
You'll have to starve over, over again

Maybe I'm the one that plays the game
Maybe I tend to make the same mistake
Over, and over again

Baby, you should
Put, put, put your heart
Where your mouth is
And put, put, put your heart
Where your mouth is now

Hide the key
'Cause I'm coming over
To settle the score, whoa, oh
Don't forget how well I know you
I'll take, take
Take, take you down
Stop asking and keep dancing
Stop asking and keep dancing

I'm talking about change
You really want to see the way
But if you want to see
Then you need to settle down

Hide the key
'Cause I'm coming over
To settle the score, whoa, oh
Don't forget how well I know you
I'll take, take
Take, take you down
Stop asking and keep dancing
Stop asking and keep dancing


8.I'm A Wonder

I came, you went
Is there something I should have said?
I'm sure there is
And I'm supposed to know

If I could be myself off just for a minute
And God forbid pleased with myself
In this relationship
And all I want is a moment alone
Without you, without you

Time out
But keep the tapes rolling
Just in case I
Say anything brilliant
Time out
But keep those cameras rolling
Just in case I
Don't look this good forever

Like hell, I'm spent
You were someone I shouldn't have met
For your own sake
Let's take my side for once

If I could be myself off just for a minute
And God forbid pleased with myself
In this relationship
And all I want is a moment alone
Without you, without you

Time out
But keep the tapes rolling
Just in case I
Say anything brilliant
Time out
But keep those cameras rolling
Just in case I
Don't look this good forever

Time out
But keep those cameras rolling
Just in case I
Don't look this good forever
Time out
But keep those hips rolling
Just in case I
Say anything brilliant


9.Zzzzz

And I'm up, down
I'm spinning around
High and dry
And kicked to the ground
I'm lost and I'll never be found

My lips were much too shy
The lines about you
They never rhymed
You said I never get things right
(I never said I was the best thing for you)

But baby, where'd you go?
I need you here tonight

Singing myself to sleep
And you're still my favorite melody
It's been three weeks
How long can this go on?
Singing myself to sleep
And you're haunting every memory
Get out, goodbye
Get out of my life
Goodnight

And you're hot and cold
You're better in my bones
You run while I lose control
I miss you
Forever you'll stay gold

You know I'm not getting by
I've lost it
You're in my mind
And every day's the darkest of my life
(I never said I was the best thing for you)

But baby, where'd you go?
I need you here tonight

Singing myself to sleep
And you're still my favorite melody
It's been three weeks
How long can this go on?
Singing myself to sleep
And you're haunting every memory
Get out, goodbye
Get out of my life

'Cause I'm drowning
(When I close my eyes)
And I'm falling
(I can't breathe tonight)
End of story
I fade to black inside
(I never said I was the best thing for you)

'Cause I'm drowning
(When I close my eyes)
And I'm falling
(I can't breathe tonight)
End of story
I fade to black inside

Singing myself to sleep
And you're still my favorite melody
It's been three weeks
How long can this go on?
Singing myself to sleep
And you're haunting every memory
Get out, goodbye
Get out of my life

'Cause I'm drowning
When I close my eyes
And I'm falling
I can't breathe tonight
End of story
I fade to black inside


10.Vegas Nights

It's twelve o'clock
And I need your attention
It's like the alcohol
Making my head spin
Your scent is the rum
The room is a bottle
Keeping me hopeless
Till I wake tomorrow

And if tonight
Ever makes a difference
The way that I feel
The way that I'll remember it
I'll take this down
Till the glass remains
Swallow the words
That I was meant to say
It's a long drive
Back to Vegas skies
So why don't I
Make one more wrong turn tonight?
So say goodnight
Our first goodbye
I've only got forever
And forever is fine
Just take your time
We'll stop the clock together
And know that the timing was right

All of these guards
They stand tall and defensive
Putting up walls around
What once was innocent
They won't let me in
But I'm stronger than that
'Cause you stole my eyes
And I've never looked back

Girl, last night
I forgot to mention
The way that I feel
The way that I'll remember this
When we're this young
We have nothing to lose
Just a clock to beat
And a hand to choose
It's a long drive
Back to Vegas skies
So why don't I
Make one more wrong turn tonight?
So say goodnight
Our first goodbye
I've only got forever
And forever is fine
Just take your time
We'll stop the clock together
And know that the timing was right

It's a long way down
Just fall into place
And you'll fall into me
We'll make it out, you'll see

So say goodnight
Our first goodbye
I've only got forever
And forever is fine
Just take your time
We'll stop the clock together

And say goodnight
Our first goodbye
I've only got forever
And forever is fine
Just take your time
We'll stop the clock together
And know that the timing was right


11.Can You Keep A Secret

It's true that I'm a silver shadow
And you are always on my mind
You, you need to get over here
We'll disappear

Your secret's safe
And no one has to know
I'm your getaway
And a little bit more than you can take
I can make
Everything feel so damn good

I could have sworn
We disappeared tonight
Come on and dance with me
Come on and dance with me, baby
And don't you know
I just appeared tonight?
You wanna dance with me
You wanna dance with me all night
Nobody there will ever see us
Don't talk, don't walk
It's just the two of us
Dance with me
Dance with me
Come on and dance with me
Dance with me, baby

Soon we're heading to a place
Where I'll prove
I'm all you want and more
You, you need to let it unfold
Just like you're told

Your secret's safe
And no one has to know
I'm your getaway
And a little bit more than you can take
I can make
Everything feel so good

I could have sworn
We disappeared tonight
Come on and dance with me
Come on and dance with me, baby
And don't you know
I just appeared tonight?
You wanna dance with me
You wanna dance with me all night
Nobody there will ever see us
Don't talk, don't walk
It's just the two of us
Dance with me
Dance with me
Come on and dance with me
Dance with me, baby

Soon we're heading to a place
Where I'll prove
I'm all you want and more
You, you need to let it unfold
Just like you're told

Your secret's safe
And no one has to know
I'm your getaway
And a little bit more than you can take
I can make
Everything feel so good

I could have sworn
We disappeared tonight
Come on and dance with me
Come on and dance with me, baby
And don't you know
I just appeared tonight?
You wanna dance with me
You wanna dance with me all night
Nobody there will ever see us
Don't talk, don't walk
It's just the two of us
Dance with me
Dance with me
Come on and dance with me
Dance with me, baby


12.This City Is Contagious

The word is out
This town can hardly breathe
When the air is filled with dust
And dying dreams

Attaching wings to all the sights
We're making sure these buildings fly
We've worked too hard
To leave without a fight

Go ahead and tell everyone you know
We stole the show

Right now this town is for the taking
We'll bring neon to it's knees
Our time to shine
Beyond the pavement
We've got everything we need
So turn the music up
You're hearing more than sound
Right now this town is for the taking
And it's all we'll ever need

The word is out
This town, it never sleeps
A feeding ground
For those who still believe

Kissing curbs to bide our time
On this last night to feel alive
We will never leave this place behind

Go ahead and tell everyone you know
We stole the show

Right now this town is for the taking
We'll bring neon to it's knees
Our time to shine
Beyond the pavement
We've got everything we need
So turn the music up
You're hearing more than sound
Right now this town is for the taking
And it's all we'll ever need

Make us
This city's contagious
Caught inside it's pages
We are leaving it all
Hate us
It'll only save us
Stronger than we came up
We are leaving it all

Make us
This city's contagious
Caught inside it's pages
We are leaving it all
Hate us
(Right now this town is for the taking)
It'll only save us
(We'll bring neon to it's knees)
Stronger than we came up
(Our time to shine beyond the pavement)
We are leaving it all
(We've got everything we need)

Right now this town is for the taking
We'll bring neon to it's knees
Our time to shine
Beyond the pavement
We've got everything we need
So turn the music up
(So turn the music up)
You're hearing more than sound
(You're hearing more than sound)
Right now this town is for the taking
And it's all we'll ever need
