We Are Scientists Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Chick Lit

Lyricist:Christopher Cain, Keith Murray

I wouldn't be caught dead with your kind
And all the hot shot carrying on that you do
It's your only move

I wanna see you all buried alive
And I'll be up top carrying on over you
Only for you

I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again
I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again
If after all we still have high hopes and all is forgiven, if
all is forgiven
I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again

You know that we've got some axes to grind
We've got some sharp tongue carrying on to do
It's your only move

I wanna see you all buried alive
And I'll be up top carrying on over you
Only for you

I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again
I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again
If after all we still have high hopes and all is forgiven, if
all is forgiven
I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again

I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again
I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again
If after all we still have high hopes and all is forgiven, if
all is forgiven
I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again, again


2.It's A Hit

Lyricist:Christopher Ian Cain, Keith Austin Murray, Michael Shane
Tapper

I should have known that this would happen from the start
This kind of function's going to have to fall apart
I guess before I would have sworn that we were friends

Well, I still don't understand what this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
And this was going so well but I don't know what I did
All I really can tell is, I've been hit, I've been hit, I've
been hit

Well, there's only so much drama I can stand
And this is just about as far as I will bend
So get your hands off my lapel because I think it's time to go
You oughta know that or you know you oughta know

And I still don't understand what this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
This was going so well but I don't know what I did
All I really can tell is I've been hit, I've been hit, I've been
hit

As I was falling down the stairs and out the door
I guess I heard you yell my name but I'm not sure
You know before I could have sworn that we were friends
Somehow that's how these parties always seem to end

But I still don't understand what this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
And this was going so well but I don't know what I did
All I really can tell is that I always get hit

And I still don't understand what this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
I guess I might take it back but I'm not sure what I did
All I know for a fact is I've been hit, I've been hit, I've been
hit


3.The Great Escape

Lyricist:Christopher Ian Cain, Keith Austin Murray, Michael Shane
Tapper

Making my escape
Making my escape
Tell myself that everything's in shape
Everything's in shape but me

How long can this take?
How long can this take?
Tell myself that everything is great
Everything is great
Well, how'm I doin'?

I got a great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
I got a great idea
I'm gonna wait right here

While everything
Is adding up, up, up
Everything is adding up, up, up

Breakin' both my hands
Breakin' both my hands
Tellin' me to take it like a man
Take it like a man, I can't

I don't understand
I don't understand
Please, repeat whatever you just said
Nothin's makin' sense, no
How'm I doin'?

I got a great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
I got a great idea
I'm gonna wait right here

While everything
Is adding up, up, up
Everything is adding up, up, up

They're breakin' both my hands
They're breakin' both my hands
They're tellin' me to take it like a man
I take it like a man, well, fuck that

I don't understand
Said, I don't understand
So, please repeat whatever you just said
'Cause nothin's makin' sense
Well, how'm I doin'?

I got a great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
I got a great idea
I'm gonna wait right here

While everything
Is adding up, up, up
Everything is adding up, up, up


4.This Scene Is Dead

Lyricist:Christopher Ian Cain, Keith Austin Murray, Michael Shane
Tapper

The scene is dead but I'm still restless
An hour or so until the last call I guess
I shouldn't even be here much less
Drinking myself into excess

I'm not going home till I'm done

Well, go on get gone, go on and get gone
Go on, you can't go home
The night is young, I'm blacking out
But it's been fun

Well, everything's another excuse
To keep from doing what I want to do
Look, I would really love to kiss you
But I guess I'm in no condition

I'm not going home with no one

Well, go on get gone, go on and get gone
Go on, you can't go home
The night is young, I'm blacking out
But it's been fun

I said, that's it
I'm not going home with no one
I'm not going home with no one
I'm not going home with no one

Well, go on get gone, go on and get gone
Go on, you can't go home
The night is young, I'm blacking out
But it's been fun

You can't go home
The night is young, I'm blacking out
But it's been fun

You can't go home
The night is young, I'm blacking out
But it's been


5.What's The Word

Lyricist:Christopher Ian Cain, Keith Austin Murray, Michael Shane
Tapper

What's the point of making all this noise
If nothing's ever getting heard?
I'm saving up my voice now
What's the word, yeah
What's the word, yeah
What's the word?

Instead of throwing up your hands
Why don't you tell me
What you're trying to tell me?
I'm sick of breaking all these plans
It's starting to kill me
Man, it's starting to kill

I'm about as close to making sense
As I am ever going to get
Is that how quickly I'd be gone?

And just read my lips
They're pretty loose
They're pretty loose
They're pretty loose

But I can't ever say
Who's kidding who?
Who's kidding who?
Who's kidding who?

Instead of throwing up your hands
Why don't you tell me
What you're trying to tell me?
I'm sick of breaking all these plans
It's starting to kill me
Man, it's starting to kill

I'm about as close to making sense
As I am ever going to get
Is that how quickly I'd be gone?

Save your breath
I already knew
I already knew
I already knew

But I can't say
Who's kidding who
Who's kidding who
Who's kidding who

Instead of throwing up your hands
Why don't you tell me
What you're trying to tell me?
I'm sick of breaking all these plans
It's starting to kill me
Man, it's starting to kill

I'm about as close to making sense
As I am ever going to get
Is that how quickly I'd be gone?


6.Textbook

Lyricist:Christopher Ian Cain, Keith Austin Murray, Michael Shane
Tapper

Falling over backwards for you
Falling over everybody else
I put myself in that position
Every single time I have the chance

I know it's not my business to be
Digging up these things I shouldn't know
Twenty years of bad decisions
Haven't taught me much at all

Separate events you're making
Everyone pretend it's not your fault
And all of this offense you're taking
Doesn't really bother me at all

Twist my arm 'cause that's the way
You think you're gonna work this whole thing out
You know you own my body
But don't think that you control my mouth

Having every question answered
Is it gonna help at all?
Having every question answered
Is it gonna help at all?

Having every question answered
Is it gonna help at all?
Having every question answered
Doesn't help

When you're not supposed to know
You're not supposed to know
You're not supposed to know
Anything

Another textbook situation
Everything I think I know I've read
What's the point of medication?
All it makes me wish that I were dead

It's pretty clear the true on me
It's written here on every single page
I'm smitten but not stupid
I can read it all over your face

Having every question answered
Is it gonna help at all?
Having every question answered
Is it gonna help at all?

Having every question answered
Is it gonna help at all?
Having every question answered
Doesn't help

When you're not supposed to know
You're not supposed to know
You're not supposed to know
Anything

You're not supposed to know
Anything


7.Worth The Wait

Lyricist:Christopher Ian Cain, Keith Austin Murray, Michael Shane
Tapper

If I had one shred of common sense
I would have already left
Don't ask how long I've been waiting here
Yeah, you can probably guess

Tracing the arc of the hour hand
This clock's incredibly slow
You ask how long I've been waiting here
I think you already know

'Cause I've been hanging out and counting down
The time that I've been wasting
I've been holding on for way too long
You're always worth the wait though, I guess

Measure in time by the bottle
And I've had more than a few
I'm standing up to get outta here
I'm standing up for myself now and this is long overdue

There ain't no two ways about it
I can't keep letting this go
You ask how long I've been waiting here
I think you already know

'Cause I've been hanging out and counting down
The time that I've been wasting
I've been holding on for way too long
You're always worth the wait though

And oh, promising a promise
If you know you're gonna break it
I've been holding on for way too long
You're always worth the wait though, I guess

Well, I keep hanging out and counting down
The time that I've been wasting
I've been holding on for way too long
You're always worth the wait though

And oh, promising a promise
If you know you're gonna break it
I've been holding on for way too long
You're always worth the wait though, I guess


8.Cash Cow

Lyricist:Christopher Ian Cain, Keith Austin Murray, Michael Shane
Tapper

Well, I've been taking my time
Slow goings, nothing new to me
I've been taking my time
Slide up, just drop everything

Falling out of my car
I'm not sure what I'm doing here
Somehow wherever we are
I'm not sure what I'm doing here

I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen
All of this at once, I'm ready for the cash-in
And I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen, no, ohh

Well, I've been talking a lot
I'm not saying much of anything
I've been talking a lot
I'm not saying much of anything

I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen
All of this at once, I'm ready for the cash-in
And I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen, no, ohh

I've been taking my time
I've been taking my time

I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen
All of this at once, I'm ready for the cash-in
I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen, no, ohh

I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen
All of this at once, I'm ready for the cash-in
I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen, no, ohh


9.Lousy Reputation

Lyricist:Christopher Ian Cain, Keith Austin Murray, Michael Shane
Tapper

Why do I keep finding myself so surprised?
The qualities you openly have advertised
A bigger man might not feel quite so compromised
But I've never been that sane and I won't start tonight

It's burning me up, I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me off
I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me

I've heard some things, I guess, it's better not to know
It's pretty bad as far as first impressions go
A bigger man could probably get past it all
Oh, the problem here is that I just won't grow up so what?

It's burning me up, I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me off
I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me off, off, off

It's burning me up, I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me off
I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me off

I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me off
I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me off


10.Can't Lose

Lyricist:Christopher Ian Cain, Keith Austin Murray, Michael Shane
Tapper

The party's all right, I might wanna stop drinking
What were we talking about?
My body won't tell my mind what I've been thinking
Before it's out of my mouth, out

The minute I get upset, that's it, it's over
I'm already out of the room
Why can't I just forget that what I know's gonna hurt?
There's not much else I can do

I'm breaking my own rules, becoming someone else
Well everybody says I oughta get over myself
I'm thinking I can't move
If there isn't somewhere else to go

I've probably made mistakes that I've forgotten
It's all ambiguous now
I've been willing to take the shape of what you wanted
I could just figure it out, out

I'm breaking my own rules, becoming someone else
Well everybody says I oughta get over myself
I'm thinking I can't move
If there isn't somewhere else to go

I'm breaking my own rules, becoming someone else
Well everybody says I oughta get over myself
I'm thinking I can't move
If there isn't somewhere else to go, whoa, whoa

It's changing my issues, as far as I can tell
But everybody says I oughta get over myself
I'm thinking I can't lose
If there isn't somewhere else to go


11.Inaction

Lyricist:Christopher Ian Cain, Keith Austin Murray, Michael Shane
Tapper

Call on the fates, this'll take a second
While I fall on my face, like everyone else
And we can talk all we want but all I can say
Is that I'm sorry and I'm sorry but I'm never gonna do it again

Counting on my relative friends
When this keeps coming up again and again
If everybody knows how it's gonna end
Why doesn't someone stop me?

Because I'm sick of waking up on your floor
For the sixth or seventh night in a row
I'm lying next to you in all of my clothes
Someone stop me

It's hard to rely on the rhythm section
When they're all packing up and they're heading for the exit
Yeah, we're all just the same, a bunch of slaves to fashion
Who are tall, dark and scared and just praying for some action

How am I supposed to know what makes this happen?
How am I supposed to know what makes this happen?
How am I supposed to know what makes this happen?
How am I supposed to know what makes this happen?

I'm counting on my relative friends
'Cause this keeps coming up again and again
If everybody knows how it's gonna end
Why doesn't someone stop me?

Because I'm sick of waking up on your floor
For the sixth or seventh night in a row
I'm lying next to you in all of my clothes
Someone stop me

I can't keep counting on my relative friends
'Cause this keeps coming up again and again
If everybody knows how it's gonna end
Why doesn't someone stop me?

Because I'm sick of waking up on your floor
For the sixth or seventh night in a row
I'm lying next to you in all of my clothes
Someone stop me


12.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)


13.Gauntlet

Well, this will eat me inside if I decide to let it*
But there's no limit to how far I might go to get it
Just tell me when and where
And I'm as good as there
I know that this tendency won't get me very far

Oh, if I had known
That was how it'd go
I would not have come
All this way

I knew that I would regret this the moment I did it
It's quite a distance to travel through just in three minutes
Once you got me here
I was as good as dead
I guess that some things don't change no matter where we are

Oh, if I had known
that that was how it'd go
I would not have come
all this way


14.Best Behaviour

Ya gotta wanna be good
Ya gotta wanna be good
Ya gotta wanna be good
Well, see, but lately, I dont feel like behavin'

It's on the tip of my tongue
It's on the tip of my tongue
It's on the tip of my tongue
But if we say this, we're gonna have to face it

Stack up the casualties,
It helps to keep them close
The last thing a villain needs (the last thing i really need?)
is to wake up all alone

I hope you know what you've done
I hope you know what you've duh uh uh-uh uhn
I hope you know what you've done
Our best behavior is really not that great, so

I'm gettin' up and I'm gone
I'm gettin' up and I'm gah aw aw-aw on
I'm gettin' up and I'm gone
Well, can you blame me? When we can't stand to stay we

stack up the casualties
(it helps to keep them close)
The last thing a villain needs
is to wake up all alone

You've gotta wanna be good
You've gotta wanna be good
You've got to want to be good
Well, see, but lately, I dont feel like behavin'


15.Dance Off

I swore tonight that I would behave like an actual civilised man
But then you walked in and you made me re-think my whole plan
My whole plan
They always say you can get what you want but you've got to be
willing to ask
Well in two more drinks I'll be ready to beg, oh I swear
Oh I swear

Want me to make any promises?
Well I will
Want me to take some more time with this?
Well I will
Want me to say that I'm wanting it?
Well I will
I will, I will

All I know is as long as you stay with me
You're not going anywhere
You've got a few friends waiting and we're making them late, I
don't care
I don't care
All I want is to wake up tomorrow
Not knowing how I got in your bed
And you've been thinking the same about me, I can tell
I can tell

Want me to make any promises?
Well I will
Want me to take some more time with this?
Well I will
Want me to say that I'm wanting it?
Well I will
I will, I will
