Get What You Came For

Vanity Theft Get What You Came For Lyrics
1.Trainwreck

Pretend you haven't just met me, Formalities put me to sleep,
Don't make me take this nice and slow, I wanna know what they
don't know. I wanna take a secret, Try real hard to keep it,
Take a bad attitude, Doctor and adapt it, I wanna see you
shovel, I wanna know all your trainwrecks.

Chorus:There was no revenge in seeing through a different lens
(ooh I couldn't fight it, ooh I kinda liked it), Saw you with a
dirty shirt, Caught you doing dirty work (ooh I couldn't fight
it, ooh I kinda liked it), Learned of your intentions and
realized what you really meant (ooh I couldn't fight it, ooh I
kinda liked it), This may be unnatural, I saw you with another
girl (ooh I couldn't fight it, ooh I kinda liked it)


We stripped it all down to the bone, Your skeletons are not
alone, I went out to roam and I met my... , I think they danced
all night, I'll dig the dirt from the back of your head, And
hide it in my fingernails instead, I wanna take a secret, Try
real hard to keep it, Take a bad attitude, Doctor and adapt it,
I wanna see you shovel, I wanna know all your trainwrecks.

Chorus

Let no context be misread, Say things that are better left
unsaid, Forego the foreplay and the bed, Oh baby please don't
make me beg.

Chorus


2.Limb From Limb

Tongue dripping with the stain, I wake and I'm rising to my
feet, I've got a taste for blood, And it's only yours, It's
gonna do it, do it, do it for me.

Chorus:I'm gonna feed those lions, Watch them tear us limb from
limb, You'll spend your whole life tryin' to forgive yourself
for what you did. x2

They don't know you like I do, You are the back of my hand, And
in this life I might still be mistakin', Takin' you you for a
man, Well I suggest you grow a spine before you wear yourself to
sleep, 'Cause God forbid you wait to find that you were so
nothin' to weak


Chorus

And while you're traveling the coast, I hope the wind is at your
back, 'Cause you'll be carrying my goals, And nothin' can save
you of that.

Carry it, carry it, carry it, On your way to bury it, bury it,
bury it, Carry it, carry it, carry it, Gonna have to marry it,
marry it, marry it.

Chorus

And those who give up, They only get what they deserve.

Chorus

And you don't even want to know how little I have got to lose,
'Cause everything ends just where it begins, And this one began
with you.


3.My Cup Runneth Over

This pounding in my chest will be digested with a grain, Of salt
they couldn't find when disecting my brain, You found an avenue
to cross through like blood in my veins, Now just take up my
pulse and noise to hear the things I couldn't say, I hope that
you catch up when you catch on.

Chorus:I must be a dead give-away, If not I'm well on my way, Go
slow, Tip-toe, Don't give me away, I'm a dead give-away, If not
I'm well on my way, Go slow, Tip-toe, Don't give me away.

'Till my cup runneth over darlin'


Hit the nail on the head, Yeah hit it right on the nose, And
knock your crumbs and hesitations down like dominos, Where is
all my skill in clothes?, Wear all my fancy clothes, I keep
forgetting things I need to not be over the edge, Slow, Wait, I
hope that you catch up when catch on.

Chorus x2

My body's shakin' like an earthquake, I really wish I could
articulate, My body's shakin' like an earthquake, Shake, shake.

Chorus

Why don't you give me away?

Chorus


4.Rattle Rattle

I do all the right things
Not for reasons you think
I manipulate to get my way, it's so enticing

And if I'm so self-aware
It's you who got me there
I won't be a snake, don't take my bait
Or we can rattle rattle

Be careful, be careful
It's not made of gold
It's only gonna rust, turn to dust
Leave you in the cold

Be careful, be careful
It's not made of gold
Don't say you don't trust no one but me

You do all the right things
Your tones are inviting
You know all the looks to set your hooks
You'll get that pretty ring

You'll have sinners praying and you will have them saying
Make me, break me
Just take me, take me

Be careful, be careful
It's not made of gold
It's only gonna rust, turn to dust
Leave you in the cold

Be careful, be careful
It's not made of gold
Don't say you don't trust no one but me

Be careful, it's not made of gold
It's only gonna rust, turn to dust
(Trust no one but me)
Leave you in the cold

Be careful, it's not made of gold
(Don't say you don't trust no one but me)

I've got my reasons (and they've got me)
I've got my reasons (and they've got me)
I've got my reasons (and they've got me)
We live (perfect harmony)

Be careful, be careful
It's not made of gold
It's only gonna rust, turn to dust
Leave you in the cold

Be careful, be careful
It's not made of gold
Don't say you don't trust no one but me

Be careful, be careful
It's not made of gold
It's only gonna rust, turn to dust
Leave you in the cold

Be careful, be careful
It's not made of gold
Don't say you don't trust no one but me

Be careful (trust no one but me)
(Trust no one but me) be careful
(Trust no one but me)

(Don't say you don't) trust no one but me

Make me, break me
Take me, take me
Just make me, break me
Take me, take me

Make me, break me
Take me, take me
(Don't say you don't trust no one but me)


5.Bit By Bit

I want your every passing thought (I want)
I want your every wasted breath (I want)
I want to feel you every move and make my
Home inside your head

I want every song you sing (I want)
I want every word you speak (I want)
I want your rise, I want your fall (I want)
I want to haunt you in your dreams

(I know, you're gonna devastate me)
(Starting from the inside out)
Better the devil you know

(I know, you're gonna devastate me)
Better the devil you know
(Starting from the inside)

My darling

Sink your teeth i-in
Sink your teeth i-i-in
Sink your teeth in

Bit by bit, take a bit
Now, tear me down

I name the place, I name the time
(And you take) and you take
Everything you need (and I need)

But we're not through
Until I say it's true, you won't
Wash your hands of me

You're living proof
I might be losing (I might be)
My grip on reality (I might be)

I could keep it if I needed it (I need it)
But this delusion tastes so sweet

(I know, you're gonna devastate me)
(Starting from the inside out)
Better the devil you know

(I know, you're gonna devastate me)
Better the devil you know
(Starting from the inside)

My darling

Sink your teeth i-in
Sink your teeth i-i-in
Sink your teeth in

Bit by bit, take a bite
Now, tear me down
Bit by bit, take a bit
Now, tear me down

Bit by bit, take a bite
Now, tear me down

(Bit by bit, take a bite)
(Now, tear me down)
Tear me down

(Bit by bit, take a bite)
(Now, tear me down)
Come tear me down

(Bit by bit, take a bite)
(Now, tear me down)
Tear me down

(Bit by bit, take a bite)
(Now, tear me down)

Better, better the devil you know
Bet-better, better the devil you know

Better, better the devil you know
(Better) better the devil you know
Better, better the devil you know
The devil you know

Sink your teeth in
Sink your teeth i-i-in
Sink your teeth in

Bit by bit, take a bite
Now, tear me down

Sink your teeth i-in
Sink your teeth i-i-in
Sink your teeth in

Bit by bit, take a bite
Now tear me down
Bit by bit, take a bite
Now, tear me down

Bit by bit, take a bite
Now, tear me down


6.Textbook Answer

wrote the textbook, I am the expert, I know what it took, To
find the answers, I'd roam the edge of the earth, In hopes it'd
be worth, More than just an A+ for effort, I use my microscope
to break it down now, And then my telescope to figure out how,
To see the much bigger picture, Concoct a mixture, In case I
fail to remember how, So go through a phase, But still know my
name.

Chorus:Break it down now, Figure out how, To make it all make
sense in less than seven days.

Back, back, Forth, forth, It's automatic, Quit keeping score,
And while you're at it, Go on now roll up your sleeves, Use
elbow grease, Show me how to bury a hatchet, Don't go digging up
all the facts from, Stories we don't bring up, Relax and, Let it
tell itself, This prop will sell, And just roll right off your
back.

Chorus

Take me down off the shelf, Stick in my shell, Put me back up
where I sleep so well, Put me back up, Put me back up, Put me
back up, I don't sleep so well.

Chorus


7.Anatomy

And besides, Maybe I don't want you for your mind, Can't decide,

Concise, Professional, Take my advice from the manual, Don't
waste time in confessionals, I don't handouts but my hands stay
full, You gotta make that first impression count, Show you what
it's all about, I just don't wanna waste my time.

Chorus:The left side of my brain is telling me that I'm way too
unlike you, But I like you, And besides, Maybe I don't want you
for your mind, Can't decide, And besides, Maybe I don't want you
for your mind, Can't decide.

I'm polite, So be consentual, My love is conditional, So don't
strike out when the counter's full, When the pressure's on you
better get what you came for, read back through the read back
give it all, And search for things subliminal, Instead of
writing down something scriptual, I wrote a proper hook and
still had time for tea.

Chorus

Make it align, Make it align, Make it align, Don't waste my
time, Make it align, Make it align.

Chorus


8.End Scene

One foot in front of
The other
It's simple methods, simple math

But standing here, it's clear that
The true art lies in
Finding my way back

And, oh damn these
Charts and graphs for
Giving me a false sense of what I had

So busy plugging numbers
I forgot to mark
The X's on my map

I'm done for good now
For goodness' sake
I'll take my bows and inch off stage

Another candle on the cake
But god forbid I act my age
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh

I'm getting to be too damn old for
Having so little to show

A couple could-have-been's
And should-have-known's
Won't get me where I've got to go

How many roads have I traveled
To have all these plans unravel
I'm my own judge, jury and gavel
Recess, regress, lost battle

I'm done for good now
For goodness' sake
I'll take my bows and inch off stage

Another candle on the cake
But god forbid I act my age
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh

I'm done for good now
For goodness' sake
I'll take my bows and inch off stage

Another candle on the cake
But god forbid I act my age
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh

(Ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh)


9.Dead Battery

Don't read too much into this
You'll cross your eyes for good
If I wanted realistic
I wouldn't carve names into wood

I'm lugging this dead battery
My god, it's twice the size of me
And I'd let you revive it
If I really thought you could

More quickly

Heat comes from your body
Just like anybody
But if it keeps me warm at night
That's good enough for me

Heat comes from your body
Just like anybody
But if it stops what keeps me up at night
We'll have to wait and see

I'll brew you on the stove
To be my cup of tea
But this house still ain't a home
I need a taste acquired quickly

'Cause I've got things to do
And they do not involve you
I'll take inventory on things
I'm taking to the grave

More quickly

Heat comes from your body
Just like anybody
But if it keeps me warm at night
That's good enough for me

Heat comes from your body
Just like anybody
But if it stops what keeps me up at night
We'll have to wait and see

And this house still ain't a home
Oh-oh oh oh, oh-oh oh oh
And this house still ain't a home
Oh-oh oh oh, oh-oh oh oh

But heat comes from your body
Just like anybody
But heat comes from your body
And that's good enough for me

(Will it stop what keeps me up at night)
That's good enough for me

(Hope it stops what keeps me up at night)
Replace my battery

Heat comes from your body
Just like anybody
But if it keeps me warm at night
That's good enough for me

Heat comes from your body
Just like anybody
But if it stops what keeps me up at night
We'll have to wait and see

We'll have to wait and see


10.Missing Teeth

Tell me, is the meaning
Of every word I'm speaking
Lost upon you (you)

And all the while you are erasing
Every image I'm embracing
Lost upon you

And all the ships that sail
Out to sea
Leave the dock that runs across the shoreline, oh
A mouth with missing teeth

Tell me, is the meaning
Of every word I'm speaking
Lost upon you

And all the while you are erasing
Every image I'm embracing
The difference between letting go
And the inability to hold onto...mmm
Lost upon you

And every night as I was sleeping
I think the dock was slowly sinking
Until I awoke beneath the sea

And by the time
My eyes were open
I was lost inside the ocean

With no one left to breathe for me
You wouldn't breathe for me
Breathe for me

And all the ships that sail
Out to sea

And tell me, is the meaning
Of every word I'm speaking
(Breathe for me) lost upon you
(Breathe for me)

And all the while you are erasing
Every image I'm embracing
(Breathe for me) lost upon you

(Breathe for me) lost upon you
(Breathe for me) lost upon you
