1.Hollywood Squares
Lyricist:Michael Allen Patton, Chris Steven Pennie, Benjamin A Weinman
Game over, you win
Game over, I win
The Sleigh bells are a-ringing, the children they are singing
The memories are fleeting, a little game of
(Paper, scissors, rock)
The wedding Bells are ringing, the shotgun is a-singing
(Paper, scissors, rock)
A lion tamer yelling, your first piano lesson
A 4-leaf contraceptive, we play a game of
(Paper, scissors, rock)
A sweaty palm reading, a lucky shot of whiskey
Now come and rub my belly, a little game of
(Paper, scissors, rock)
O's and X's
Hollywood squares
X's and O's
Bloody tic-tac-toe
Not in your song
I'm not your singer
Not in your poem
I'm not your stanza
I'm not a color
In your rainbow
But now which team
Are you rooting for?
We're Hollywood squares
We're going nowhere
I'm an 'X'
You're an 'O'
And this is the end
The end
2.Panasonic Youth
Lyricist:Greg Puciato, Ben Weinman
We wrote these plans, took the order, the architecture
And followed them to the end until the gears ground cold
And relentless, there was no remorse, we had none
We kept on with no trace of a regret
I never saw any blood, no soul for the body
Watch them turn her scab covered skin into stone like a coal
In the sky searching for the dawn for the last time
Bloated with white eyes wide, we've come to an understanding
You lose I profit high noon
And there ain't no secrets, no more excuses
Now our number's up, let them lead us by the throat
Now just smile while the rope pulls tighter
Guilty is an understatement, the hourglass is never right
Side up and all the time we try to tear the script up forgetting
all the sour
For the sweet the paragraph has never been so empty
The mother dies with infant in arms, the lifeless test tube
Look what she's done, evolution gave us a clock that's always
winding down
3.Baby's First Coffin
Lyricist:Gregory John Puciato, Benjamin A Weinman
Dear God
Protect Us
Come on
Laugh this time
She stares, forever and then some never again
Polished, barbwire smile, tricks and trade
She done, so cut her again, gut her again
Dear God
Protect us
Come on
Laugh this
Silence tells us we're damned, silence tells us we're damned
Jesus we've gone and done it again
Jimmy's got a new gun in his hand
Jesus we've gone and done it again
Jimmy's got a new gun in his hand
You're bein' a liar, you're bein' a liar
You're bein' a liar, you're bein' a liar
How could you doubt? He would never find out
You're bein' a liar, let's start the show
You're bein' a liar, I'm ready to go
You're bein' a liar, you're bein' a liar
You're bein' a liar, you're bein' a liar
How could you doubt? He would never find out
You're bein' a liar, let's start the show
You're bein' a liar, I'm ready to go
The emperor is dead, the emperor is dead
Goodbye, don't cry
Die, so long, revenge, defend
You know we brought the crowd to us
Staking time into the gust of wind to the face
Never returning, favors take the prison to the man
I could promise the world if we could travel through time
Don't back out here
Now relax and remember the promise of the sign
I wish you could see yourself now
You look at me like a child
The way you glide across the room, it's instrument of seduction
Let go of it, repunsel, let it down
Aim for the signal then bring it down with a smile, now
Become the conductor
The way you slide across the room, how wonderful
A connection and the last cut still bleeds as good as the first
one does
It's just the opening seed of a new flame
I look at you like a child but not at all, like you looked at me
The price is already paid, now is the time to go back
Face what you've done, you should never said, â½Yesâ
The price is already paid, now is the time to go back
Face what you've done
The price is already paid, the price is already paid
Now is the time to go back, face the master
You should never have said, â½Yesâ
When you really mean â½Noâ
4.Sunshine The Werewolf
Lyricist:Greg Puciato, Benjamin A Weinman
Cry your eyes bloodshot while there's still time
'Cause soon it's gone and you'll be so shocked
One queen-sized coffin that was built for two
Is your death bed it belongs to you
Tease me baby please me with the fresh disease
Hope riding on a bullet alive tonight
You know we couldn't get it right
Come save your life tonight you know we'll never get it right
Don't try to swim to shore because you can't go back
Say three words like they're the last you'll speak
Curtains drop concealing appearances of heaven
Destroyer, they'll be another just like you
You're not the only one, I'm not the only one
Destroyer, watching the fallout fly back up
Walking where time stands still see how our love kills, love
kills
Dropping curtains down concealing appearances of heaven
Without my existence you are nothing
Without my affection you wilt, you wilt
We fucked like a nuclear war release
Fuck off see how I let you down
Watching fallout fly back up
5.Highway Robbery
Lyricist:Greg Puciato, Benjamin A Weinman
You'd never imagine
Us bringing a loaded gun
To the ballroom
This party's about to kick off
Tonight is the wrong night
The devil's own are
Only starting up the first round of the fight
So hang on tight
Dear mother, the needle
Is jabbing the womb
Draw back and release
This child of disease
This mob is a riot
The outlaw youth are
Only emptying the first round of the night
'Cause everything's not alright
I suppose you thought you had our hands behind our backs
Wool over our eyes
Now your pulse is in my palm and you stand hands to mouth
Wearing your disguise
It's pretty apparent
This boy is a curse
The Christ of the moment
So blow him away
Hey come on and take the new number
If you're next in line
Then kid I got a really big fucking surprise
There won't be a next time
I suppose you thought you had our hands behind our backs
Wool over our eyes
Now your pulse is in my palm and you stand hands to mouth
Wearing your disguise
I suppose you thought you had our hands behind our backs
Wool over our eyes
Now your pulse is in my palm and you stand hands to mouth
Wearing your disguise
I suppose you thought you
I suppose you thought you
I suppose you thought you
Pulled the wool over our eyes
I suppose you thought you
I suppose you thought you
I suppose you thought you
Pulled the wool over our eyes
6.We Are The Storm
Lyricist:Greg Puciato, Benjamin A Weinman
Well, they said we'd tear ourselves apart
And it turns out they were right
'Cause I've never seen you so weak
And so far out of breath
And I never saw the tide rise
So high so fast
Watch this pawn capture the queen
White picket drive-by gargle
The stench the storm brings
You'll never get enough
Watch this pawn capture the queen, yeah
Now I can't shake you
But I, I can't take you
Empty skin bag you're my cum rag
And now the flood gates overflow
Now I see that too much is not enough, no
This game has been playing
For too long, yeah
Yeah, you did it
Yeah, you did it, did you get enough?
My sweet child of fire
This love affair is so lost
This love affair is so lost
Cut through the sea
And this pendulum swings near to me
We are the storm
So take your ship to port
Oh, it's time to let it go
Right now it's time to let it go
Time to let it go
'Cause this feels like half a million years
And I know you feel the same way
I do don't you
Well, they said we'd tear ourselves apart
Turns out they were right
Tear ourselves apart
Turns out they were right
7.Phone Home
Lyricist:Chris Steven Pennie, Greg Puciato
Take fire out of Heaven's clenched
Fist cracks slip between my desire
To keep your broken heart bleeding
Just hold tight and tell another fuckin' joke
To pacify the urge for suicide
You know, it won't keep waitin'
So you say goodbye
'Cause I never want to hear another word about you and I
You know, you never stop
Now we started out just running out
Spreading like wings
And we are one
I pulled you right out of the gutter
When I could have bee lined
We started out just running out
Spreading like wings
And what were we supposed to do?
You belong to me
And what are we supposed to do?
Suck it in, spit it out, you know that two's a crowd
Expectant mother's stillborn baby beauty cries aloud
And tries to tell you what I'm about
Now don't you worry about a little thing
Like this it only hurts just a bit I promise
I'm gonna take you a mile high
So don't you cry 'cause it'll just be
Baby baby baby nonstop
Until the end of the night, so keep your mouth shut
We started out just running out
Spreading like wings
And we are one
I pulled you right out of the gutter
When I could have bee lined
We started out just running out
Spreading like wings
And what were we supposed to do?
You belong to me
And what are we supposed to do?
I can tell, you're a good fuck
Just by the way you wear that innocent look
Don't you know that enough is never enough
I made you now you are property, I can't discard
We started out just running out
Spreading like wings
And what were we supposed to do?
8.Setting Fire To Sleeping Giants
Lyricist:Greg Puciato, Benjamin A Weinman
First off let me say you look so tired
Rest your head and shut your eyes
Empty ambition blankets the sky
I'm thinking 'bout another world
Tonight, you're right, you're right, you're right
So drop the gown the game's over
Just push your face into the fight
And it breaks my heart
Like dancing up all night
Ride so high, we both start thinking
'Bout another world tonight
And it feels so wrong
Like nothing we've ever felt before
You're right, you're right, you're right
The stranger's candy takes you where you ought to be
In broken alleys, in the back of every street
Close your eyes tonight
Baby you can have it
Baby you can have it
Soon you'll find I'm never gonna take you back home
Well, there's so much you never told me
And there's not much I wanna know
'Cause your pretty face will do just fine
You'll be the star of my every last show
Let's go for a long ride
I'll show you places you won't ever wanna leave
The stranger's candy takes you where you ought to be
In broken alleys, in the back of every street
Stranger's candy, broken alleys, yeah tonight
We could bring it all down
We could bring it all down
They think this body's a dead note
Dancing to the beat but they'll never see this corpse
Coming 'til it kills them
9.When Good Dogs Do Bad Things
Lyricist:Michael Allen Patton, Benjamin A Weinman
I'm the best you will ever have
You're the best I'll never have
Pain gone, rain stop, sun shine, you're mine
Here kitty, kitty, kitty
Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy
Listen, listen through the walls
The sound of quick footsteps sneaking down the hall
Whispers, the pages turning
The leaking roof, the toilet flushing
Numbers on the license plate
I'm nothing more then
The best you'll never have
A speck on your bedroom wall
A blood red waterfall
The best you will ever have
Your dead things are locked up inside
Blow smoke rings straight back in time
Roses floating out with the tide
Dance and sing under gunfire
Open wings slowly take flight
Around these parts a fly can live
A fly can live a thousand years
But a man cannot die soon enough
True enough
A smiling drunk nursing a glass of milk
A girl with a face like prison bread
Over the kitchen noise a hear them howl at me
A scabby ketchup bottle and a two-dollar bill
I guess it's time to pay the bill
But you know I never will
I'm hungry still
Run away, run away, run away, run away
Mercy killing on the way
Never thought I'd hear you say
Falling to your knees and pray now
In this crowded place I could swing a cat
And not even hit a soul
It's just the lonely vacuum of human black holes
And I'm as dry as these thirsty trees
With big city thoughts in the dirty breeze
Promising to set me free
Waiter, check please
I'm the best you will ever have
10.Pig Latin
Lyricist:Adam Doll, Michael Allen Patton, Chris Steven Pennie,
Benjamin A Weinman
Do you remember where you were on that day?
A day of life sentences and x-rays
My name was on that birthday cake
Your mother, your father, your brother
And that thing under the covers
Your lover, the others, the leeches
And the serpents and the suckers
Your mother, your father, the babies
And the nurses and the doctors
Your lover, the others, the waiting room
The gurney and the druggers
Your mother, your father, the comas
And the way the spirits hover
Your lover, the others, I thought
I wasn't smart enough to suffer
Speaking Pig Latin
Kiss me goodnight
Dreaming white satin
Kiss me goodnight
Freedom, tying your legs down
Freedom, fucking your brains out
Freedom, blowing the candles out
Freedom, waving to the crowd
And I hate long goodbyes anyway
11.Come To Daddy
Lyricist:Richard David James
I want your soul, I will eat your soul
Come to Daddy
12.The Perfect Design
Lyricist:Greg Puciato, Benjamin A Weinman
Motions that make gods cringe
Running in circles as fast as we can
Take what you can 'cause now it's all over
Run hot and cold to break the skin, break the skin
And we won't take no for an answer
For just when the door slams
The pill drops, oh my sweet unknowing partner
The perfect design
The pill drops so start the silent dance
Slumping silhouette, unforgiving hands
Harboring regret
Play it just once more for old times
Yeah you know, you know, you know you're all I ever wanted
Yeah you know, you know, you know you're all I ever wanted
How we laughed when we first saw each other
How you screamed when I saw your eyes melting
This is the end of every rainbow
And now your face shatters
Every waking second I know your face shatters
Every waking second I know your face shatters
13.Unretrofied
Lyricist:Benjamin Weinman
Is the can half diseased or is the disease half canned?
And is the man half machine or is the machine half man?
I'm unretrofied for you
Is the can half diseased or is the disease half canned?
Or is the man half machine or is the machine half man?
I'm unretrofied for you, so come on, so come on
I'll just fake it in the end
Just save it for a new song and leave dead in the end
Time is wasted in the end
Wood paneled wagon, carpool dragons killing me again
Now, they're looting our holes until there is nothing left
Calloused intentions it seems, cowards invention at best
I'm unretrofied for you
Now, they're looting our holes until there is nothing left
Calloused intentions it seems, cowards invention at best
I'm unretrofied for you, so come on, so come on
I'll just fake it in the end
Just save it for a new song and leave dead in the end
Time is wasted in the end
Wood paneled wagon, carpool dragons killing me again, we're all
dead
Jesus can't play the music 'cause He's nailed to the cross
And over gnawed off feet, I find that
I can't walk, I can't walk, I can't even walk
I'll just fake it in the end
Just save it for a new song and leave dead in the end
Time is wasted in the end
Wood paneled wagon, carpool dragons killing me again
I'll just fake it in the end
Just save it for a new song and leave dead in the end
Time is wasted in the end
Wood paneled wagon, carpool dragons killing me again, we're all
dead
14.The Mullet Burden
Lyricist:Benjamin Weinman
Such worthless crust and crazed
Now cringe to slap the wrist
I sense you cracked and weak
The nonexistent won't care
When you fail to wake
I sense you cracked and weak
I wonder if you would
I wonder if you could
Please just a small taste
Of the offer unrefused
Bonded by a muddy crippled story
And now I wonder if you really ever could
You're no good
Self-sodomize once more
Whore, slut, yet fragile and tight
A reckless, mangled conscience
With only the imbalance of evils
Wait for guidance, end it all now
