Versus You Levitate The Listener (Versus You/White Lyrics
1.The Mad Ones

This is a song for all the mad ones,
Who never yawn, who never sleep
But only dream.

This is a song for all the mad ones,
Who never die, who live in hearts,
I'm one of them.

I'm not allowed to go out.

You call me crazy and obscene,
You call me lazy and a freak.
I'm not a freak!

You call me boring and a mess
And in my life there's no success.
Oh I confess!

My hometown's red.
I paint the walls of my hometown red.


2.Quid Pro Quo

I fuckin' hate this place and I don't
Ever want to be here again.
I don't even know if I can trust
You now, my so-called friend.

I've always been there
To tell you to hold on.
I've always had an ear
To lend you and a
Shoulder to cry on.
I'm no longer here.

Can't you see I'm doing this
Because I think that it's best for us both?
There comes a time in life where
You should free yourself and be on your own.

Some might say I'm wrong
But I couldn't care less.


3.It's Fun To Be A Vampire!

Someone wrote these words before
And my back's against the wall
As I try to be original.

Did you try to call me all week?
I cracked my head open on my bedroom floor.
Did you try to talk to me all week?
Well, I don't want to talk to you.
Just get out of my room.

I scratched out my eyes,
I can't stand the sunshine.
I feel okay as long
As I'm feeling like dying.
I trust these lies that
I didn't tell myself and
I trust the things that are
Killing me in the end

And you're killing me.


4.The Day I Came To Town

I think I lost my mind today.
There can't be no other way.
Now watch what you say
Because everybody's listening.

I'm trying hard to face the day.
Will everything turn out okay?
No one'll hear me out
But they will all be listening.

They'll rip my heart out if I stay.
They'll be the death of me today
And I can't figure out why
They're so kind to me.

I'm trying hard to breathe today.
They don't see I'm not okay.
My neck will crack at no one
And no one will be listening.

The children they will find a way
Not to end up like me today.
My headstone will read:
'No one was ever listening!'

Why are they so kind to me?
I do belong here.
I really want to be here!


5.The Dead Will Have Their Day

When I fall, I'm falling down to the ground
And then I die. I can't stand this pain in my brain.

When I drown, I'm drowning slowly in the ocean
And then I die. There will be nothing left of me.

I know there's something wrong.
The dead will have their day.


6.This War Is Like A Drug To You!

He's off to war and she waits for the phone call,
The one that will tell her he's gone.
He is fighting for something that she hasn't seen yet.
She always knew the day would come.

And all she ever said was:
'This war is like a drug to you!'

She can't feel secure until she knows that he's safe,
She only wants him to come home.
She wants their baby son to remember his daddy.
She really needs him to be home.

Hey man, she waits for you.
Amen, she waits for you.
All that I know is, she waits for you.


7.Spread The Epidemic

Did someone foresee the epidemic
And if so why weren't we told?
Would we have changed if we had known
Or would we have stayed the same?

Anyway it's too late now,
This is our terminal disease.
Soon we'll regret to not have cared
When our neighbors got the flu.

It's spreading faster than
Anything you've ever seen
And on TV they tell us it's contained.

I always guessed that ignorance
Would be the end of human nature.
And that garbage we produce
Would be the death of mother earth.

Anyway it's much too late,
A postcard from the apocalypse.
Soon we'll regret to not have cared
When all began to fall apart.
