The Prize Fighter Inferno Half Measures (EP) Lyrics
1.Elm Street Loverboy

You left me outside your front window
And I just let you have your say
Your mama's bars won't keep me from you
And I can't wait another day
Oh, through the floorboards
I was sneaking through your drywall
The dirty creep with the freaked out history
Oh and when I get dreams
Everything is possible

Answer your telephone
After the beep, girl
Nancy, I'm coming home
Just fall asleep, I'll do anything
Cause baby I'm the nightmare you need

Oh, Nancy
I'm your boyfriend now

Those days still play, in echoes
Through the halls of Springwood High
My heart in a million pieces
When my love went unrecognized
Between you and me
Girl, I would do anything
To keep you here
In this dreamscaped fairy tale
Oh, where you can be my queen

Answer your telephone
After the beep, girl
Nancy, I'm coming home
Just fall asleep, I'll do anything
Cause baby I'm the nightmare you need

Oh, I'm Elm Street's lover boy
Yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, little Elm Street lover boy
Oh
Oh, yeah
I am your night, I am your night, I am your nightmare
I am your night, I am your night, I am your nightmare
I am your night, I am your night, I am your nightmare
I am your night
I, I, I, Ha Ha Ha Ha

Answer your telephone
After the beep, girl
Nancy, I'm coming home
Just fall asleep, I'll do anything
Cause baby, baby, I'm the nightmare you need
Answer your telephone (Oh, I'm Elm Street's lover boy)
After the beep, girl (Come on, dream away)
Nancy, I'm coming home
Just fall asleep, I'll do anything
Girl, I'm the nightmare you need
Answer your telephone
After the beep, girl
Nancy, I'm coming home
Don't fall asleep, I'll do anything
Cause I'm the nightmare you need
Answer your telephone
After the beep, girl
Nancy, I'm coming home
Just fall asleep, I'll do anything
Cause I'm the nightmare you need
I'm the nightmare you need
I'm the nightmare you need
I'm the nightmare you need
I'm the nightmare you need
I'm the nightmare you need

3.Pistol Pete Matty

You can't take the strain
The worries they have worn on you
Buts its alright to blame
You have every right to

Mother will they press
Press on you to take the slack
'Cause he's your trouble now
There's no sneaking out through the cracks

Matty there's no excuse for this
The world's gonna turn for you
But I say, hey,
If no one's looking then...It's ok

The giving and the take
The straw that broke the camel's back
We were in the way
Of an old man's broken past

While he longed for the old
Life stuck him straight in the brand new
Oh, he knew

Matty there's no excuse for this
The world's gonna turn for you
But I say, hey,
If no one's looking then...It's ok

Oh, we'll work this out
We'll work it out
We'll work this out

Life has a funny way
Of taking everything
And leaving nothing

Matty there's no excuse for this
The world's gonna turn for you
But I say,
If no one's looking then...It's ok

Matty there's no excuse for this
The world's gonna turn for you
But I say, hey,
If no one's looking then...It's ok

Matty there's no excuse for this
The world's gonna turn for you
But I say,
hey I love you
anyway

5.Gears

Pay your thoughts no mind in cowardly contradiction
We are the meek we are the small
We are the failed that leads us blindly
to have no hope at all
In ourselves we run the risk
There's only one way to make their list
So I say fuck this
I'll make my own list
And welcome a new today

So goodnight my dear, if only one thing's clear, it's 'I'm
coming home!'
Oh, and leaving this scene and keeping it under me.
Oh, I feel mistaken, only no hesitating Gears,
Hold through all of these years.

(Get yours, gets yours, get get get get yours,
Get yours, get yours, get get get get yours)

Pay no mind to the sign that will take you home,
We are immobile and overgrown.
There is no moving these Gears, so please,
Just leave us the hell alone.

I've been a beggar and a fool,
To a conscience, that beats me up with rules,

(Get yours, gets yours, get get get get yours,
Get yours, get yours, get get get get yours)

So goodnight my dear, if only one thing's clear, it's 'I'm
coming home!'
Oh, and leaving this scene and keeping it under me.
Oh, I feel mistaken, only no hesitating Gears,
Hold through all of these years.

(Get yours, gets yours, get get get get yours,
Get yours, get yours, get get get get yours)
Goodnight my dear, if only one thing's clear, it's 'I'm coming
home!'
me.)

Goodnight my dear, if only one thing's clear, it's 'I'm coming
home!'
Oh, and leaving this scene and I'm keeping it under me.
Oh, I feel mistaken, only no hesitating Gears,
Hold through all of these years


6.Erizo Schultz

Sun shines down, it cools out the concrete of a monument saying
your name.
Angels and marble where you rest, I guess it couldn't be worse,
but it's the best still.
I hope you were extra-ordinary,
not like me.

It's just beginning,
oh no goodbyes,
sleep through the ending,
but this is how we die.

Now I won't know what you learned from this place

You oughtta know, they cried at your funeral,
Every breeze is yours, so she breathed it in
Scream it out, there's not a drought in their love
The smoke, it's from the slaughterhouse
Abandoned there again.

You sleep in silence,
tucked into satin sheets the colour of the moon
She stands above you, remembering your hands
They looked like cradles.

It's just beginning,
oh no goodbyes,
sleep through the ending,
but this is how we die.

She'll never know you remember her face
You oughtta know, they cried at your funeral,
Every breeze is yours, so she breathed it in
Scream it out, there's not a drought in their love
The smoke, it's from the slaughterhouse
Abandoned there again.

(looping)
[Da da da, da da da da
Da da da, da da da da
Da da da, da da da da
Do, da da da]

Every breeze is yours, every breeze is yours [Ba ba ba, ba ba ba
ba]
The smoke, it's from the slaughterhouse
Abandoned there again.

Every breeze is yours, so she breathed it out. [Ba ba ba, ba ba
ba ba]
The smoke, it's from the slaughterhouse
(both background loops stop)
Abandoned me again.
