We Are Scientists Barbara Lyrics
1.Rules Don't Stop

Lyricist:Christopher Ian Cain, Keith Austin Murray

Don't be alarmed, it's not the end of the world
If we're breaking the rules, it's fine
I disregard this kind of problem all the time

It's not as if it's gonna kill anyone
If there's no victim then there's no crime
Just draw another if you think we crossed a line

Rules don't stop me, forget about it
Rules don't stop me, we'll get around it
Rules don't stop me, forget about it
Don't stop me, don't stop me

Although it may seem unconventional sometimes
Indiscretion is worth a try
If you just play along, I promise we'll be fine

So leave your hang-ups back at the door
When you and I are down on the floor
Well, you know what to do about it
You know what to do about it

Rules don't stop me, forget about it
Rules don't stop me, we'll get around it
Rules don't stop me, forget about it
Don't stop me, don't stop me

It's not as bad as they say, if this is such a mistake
Why does it seem to make you so damn happy?
This is no time to behave, let's both get carried away
If there's a price to be paid, it won't stop me

Rules don't stop me, forget about it
Rules don't stop me, we'll get around it
Rules don't stop me, forget about it
Don't stop me, don't stop me
They don't stop me, they don't stop me


2.I Don't Bite

There isn't anything to talk about*
You know I don't mean harm
I really don't mean anything at all
If we both understand what's going on
It's pretty clear we'll get along
It's pretty clear we'll get it

I dont bite but you can't believe it
(You can't believe it)
I dont bite but you can't believe it
(You can't believe it)

This isn't quite what I was counting on.
I wish I knew just what you want
I wish I knew anything at all
I tought the point here was to have some fun
I only wanna get it done
I only wanna get it

I dont bite but you can't believe it
(You can't believe it)
I dont bite but you can't believe it
(You can't believe it)

I don't mean anything
I don't mean anything

I dont bite but you can't believe it
(You can't believe it)
I dont bite but you can't believe it
(You can't believe it)


3.Nice Guys

Lyricist:Christopher Ian Cain, Keith Austin Murray

You're smart enough to make your mistakes
And act like you want 'em
Walk off the residual pain
And forget how you got it
Nice guys finish last anyway
And that's just the problem

If you're the nice guy, act like the nice guy
If you're the nice guy, act like the nice guy
If you want this, I want it more
If you want this, I want it more
If you want this, I want it more than you
I want it more than you

It's fine to say this isn't a game
When you've already lost it
It's pointless to go through it again
But perhaps you've forgotten
You've gotta know there's nothing to gain
So why even bother?

If you're the nice guy, act like the nice guy
If you're the nice guy, act like the nice guy
If you want this, I want it more
If you want this, I want it more
If you want this, I want it more than you
I want it more than you

This isn't a trick
So stop over thinking everything
Just finish your drink
And stop over thinking everything

If you're the nice guy, act like the nice guy
If you're the nice guy, act like the nice guy
If you're the nice guy, act like the nice guy
If you're the nice guy, act like the nice guy

If you want this, I want it more
If you want this, I want it more
If you want this, I want it more than you
I want it more than you
I want it more than you
I want it more than you


4.Jack & Ginger

Lyricist:Christopher Ian Cain, Keith Austin Murray

Well, it's about that time
I probably ought to go
No matter what I do
It's way too late for self control

If you liked it
I was hoping I would know
If you liked it
I was hoping I would know

Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh

Well, anything can happen
Both our numbers on the napkins
Drenched in coke and gin
It's soaking in

On the floor, remember
Thanks to all the jack and ginger
Every floor has been
Encouragin'

Well, it's about that time
Who knows what's going on?
I guess I should be used
To reading signals in the dark

When the lights hit
I was hoping I would know
When the lights hit
I was hoping I would know

That anything can happen
Both our numbers on the napkins
Drenched in coke and gin
It's soaking in

On the floor, remember
Thanks to all the jack and ginger
Every floor has been
Encouragin'

Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh

Well, anything can happen
Both our numbers on the napkins
Drenched in coke and gin
It's soaking in

On the floor, remember
Thanks to all the jack and ginger
Every floor has been
Encouragin'


5.Pittsburgh

Lyricist:Christopher Ian Cain, Keith Austin Murray

All these whispers and promises
All the hints and the solid prints
All we want is to be together
All we want is to be together

Every subtle and stolen glance
Can't be any more obvious
All we want is to be together
All we want is to sleep together

We're only after one thing
We're only after one thing
We're only after one thing, ooh, ooh

We're only after one thing
We're only after one thing
We're only after one thing, ooh, ooh

All these raptures and etiquette
All these comforting decadence
All we want is to be together
All we want is to sleep together

We're only after one thing
We're only after one thing
We're only after one thing, ooh, ooh

We're only after one thing
We're only after one thing
We're only after one thing, ooh, ooh

I'd love to know
What else we've done
Without the hope
Without the hope

We're only after one thing
We're only after one thing
We're only after one thing
Ooh, ooh

We're only after one thing
We're only after one thing
We're only after one thing
Ooh, ooh

We're only after one thing
We're only after one thing, ooh
We're only after one thing
We're only after one thing, ooh


6.Ambition

Lyricist:Christopher Ian Cain, Keith Austin Murray

Lately I've been measuring mistakes that I've been makin'
It's classical over-reach and stretchin' way beyond my station
Whatever I've been drinkin' lends a small amount of solace
That's endlessly proportional to how badly I want it

So long, ambition, it's not a competition
I can't win anymore, I can't win anymore
An odd position that I got the suspicion
I have been here before, I have been here before

Every single word from you is uncomfortably appealing
And reservations tellin' me to forget what I'm hearing
Part of me is screamin' you should just come out and ask her
As if there were a chance in hell that'd get me what I'm after

So long, ambition, it's not a competition
I can't win anymore, I can't win anymore
An odd position that I got the suspicion
I have been here before, I have been here before

And my imagination isn't moving me here
Can't help workin' overtime
This kind of aggravation just seems perfectly designed
To keep me up at night
It keeps me up at night
It keeps me up at night, alright

So long, ambition, it's not a competition
I can't win anymore, I can't win anymore
An odd position that I got the suspicion
I have been here before, I have been here before
I have been here before, I have been here before


7.Break It Up

Lyricist:Christopher Ian Cain, Keith Austin Murray

Is everybody in?
People, don't fail me now
If no one wants to be up all night
What's the point in even going out?

No, I can't keep it here
If you don't wanna stay
But it's hard to believe
You could just walk away

And I know at some point
That we'll all have to leave
But we'd never go home
If you left it up to me

I refuse to take this apart
I refuse to break it up
I refuse to take this apart
I refuse to break it up

Call it consequence
Some kind of karmic cloud
Where every wrong will right itself
And once you're gone you'll wanna come right back

So let's not all do something
We're gonna regret
And just try to keep living
The time we have left

No, I don't really care about
How late we might be
'Cause we'd never go home
If you left it up to me

I refuse to take this apart
I refuse to break it up
I refuse to take this apart
I refuse to break it up

This is a conversation not worth having
It's only more time we're wasting
No matter what you say
No matter what you say

I refuse to take this apart
I refuse to break it up
I refuse to take this apart
I refuse to break it up

I refuse to take this apart
I refuse to break it up
I refuse to take this apart
I refuse to break it up


8.Foreign Kicks

Lyricist:Christopher Ian Cain, Keith Austin Murray

Take your time, I can wait
I'll remind that it's late
I'll drive you home
Yeah, I'll drive you home

In a while I'll be gone
But for now all I want
Is to drive you home
Well, I'll drive you home again

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Promises aren't enough
All the sins, all at once
But I'll drive you home
Would I drive you home again?

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

It's timing, baby
Forget about the summer
It's over
It's timing, can't we
Forget about the summer?
It's over

It's timing, baby
Forget about the summer
It's over
It's timing, can't we
Forget about the summer?
It's over

It's over, it's over
It's over, it's over
It's over, it's over


9.You Should Learn

Lyricist:Christopher Ian Cain, Keith Austin Murray

All the little debts that you owe to yourself
Are never gonna be paid
The promises you set but can already tell
That you are going to break

You get what you deserve and I guess that's your problem
It's nice to teach and learn, I suggest you get on it
This doesn't really work, let's be perfectly honest
So maybe you should learn, maybe you should learn
Learn, learn, learn

You plotted out the steps that you swore to yourself
That you were going to take
But all the things you get, surely all of it sells
And they're not going to waste

You get what you deserve and I guess that's your problem
It's nice to teach and learn, I suggest you get on it
This doesn't really work, let's be perfectly honest
So maybe you should learn, maybe you should learn
Learn, learn, learn

'Cause we all have a soft spot
For miracle cures that we hope keep coming
We all have a soft spot
For lyrical words that we know mean nothing
We all have a soft spot

You get what you deserve and I guess that's your problem
It's nice to teach and learn, I suggest you get on it
This doesn't really work, let's be perfectly honest
So maybe you should learn, maybe you should learn

Maybe you should learn, maybe you should learn
Maybe you should learn
Learn, learn, learn


10.Central AC

Lyricist:Christopher Ian Cain, Keith Austin Murray

I know that if I let it
It's gonna happen every single night
I'd really love to tell you
It's only getting better all the time

But every now and then
When I come to and I know my friends
Won't even know where I've been

How the night was spent
And the fact is I won't know myself
Until I do it again

Hey
Let's take it easy for a night
Try
To keep it relatively light

'Cause otherwise
Tomorrow I may not remember this
Tonight
I really hoped it wouldn't end like this
But I should have guessed it

'Cause every now and then
When I come to and I know my friends
Won't even know where I've been

How the night was spent
And the fact is I won't know myself
Until I do it again

I know that if I let it
It's gonna happen every single night
I'd really love to tell you
It's only getting better all the time

I know that if I let it
It's gonna happen every single night
I don't know what to tell you
It's sure not getting better

'Cause every now and then
When I come to and I know my friends
Won't even know where I've been

How the night was spent
And the fact is I won't know myself
Until I do it again


11.Down The Hall


Walking down the hall*
Now I'm right where I was before
With baggage I don't need
With baggage I don't need

After all this time
Things I thought that I'd left behind
Are catching up with me
Are catching up with me

Now I'm starting to see you just keep following me
Showing up like I never left
Why don't you help me out?
Why don't you help me out?

I knew it couldn't last
Falling headlong into the past
That this was just a dream
That this was just a dream

I guess in some small way
To revert to a former state
Is almost a relief
Is almost a relief

'Cause now I'm starting to see you just keep following me
Showing up like I never left
Why don't you help me out?
Why don't you help me out?

'Cause nothing's going to change just because I went away
It's not enough, what did I expect
Why don't you help me out?
Why don't you help me out?

How could you let me get so far away?
How could you let me get so far away?
So far away
So far away
