Ooh Rah Rah 03:03
The war really wore me down over time. Theres a whole lot of holes in the memory drive. Say, well I’ll do what you do if she does what we do We’re all strung out by the whites of your eyes. It don’t mean a thing to me, like “ooh rah rah rah” Who can even say what it means, “ohh rah rah rah” Ooh rah rah rah The war really wore me down over time. Yeah there’s a whole lot of a space in the fog of your mind. Yea there’s a whole lot of noise just wandering by, And theres a whole bunch of reasons to cover your eyes. It don’t mean a thing to me, like “ooh rah rah rah” Who can even say what it means, “ohh rah rah rah” Ooh rah rah rah Just when I think it’s over I get a phone call from the king. He says “your time’s run out” and that he’s coming for me. He said “well I know what you did, and I know who she is”. And we’re all strung out by the whites of your eyes. It don’t mean a thing to me, like “ooh rah rah rah” Who can even say what it means, “ohh rah rah rah” Ooh rah rah rah It don’t mean a thing to me, like “ooh rah rah rah” Who can even say what it means, “ohh rah rah rah” Ooh rah rah rah

War to Wage 03:49
It's been a long time coming on up, I sure could have used some of your help. Where the hell did you go? Where the hell have you been, since you went missing? Remember when we were kids and you would ball up your fist, twirl it around and throw a fit? Go na-na-na-na-na When all you got's a war to wage, you settle in and make your peace. When everything's just out of reach, you pray the lord your soul to take Every little bit counts of every moment you waste, as you count down to say goodbye. By the look in your eyes, you wasted boat loads of time. Remember when we were friends and you would ball up your fist, twirl it around and be a dick? Go na-na-na-na-na When all you got's a war to wage, you settle in and make your peace. When everything's just out of reach, you pray the lord your soul to take

Im just an old bag of grass, nobody wants me. Every person I pass, keeps their eyes focused forward as they scamper by me real fast. Oh lord, won’t you save me? Won’t you keep me when I crumble up and get swept in the trash? Don’t you know ive been rehearsing? Ive been keeping myself clean. Just because you feel broken, doesn’t mean there aren’t places to sail. Just because you feel groovy, doesn’t mean you won't find brand new ways to fail. Im just an old bag of grass, nobody wants me I pour myself a tall glass, and I wait for the morning to shine some sunlight on my back. Yeah well nobody’s perfect, sometimes it’s just worth it, some days it’s just all that you have Yeah well nobody’s perfect, especially me Just because you feel broken, doesn’t mean there aren’t places to sail Just because you feel groovy, doesn’t mean you find brand new ways to fail

Neon Sign 03:06
I love the neon sign, yeah it brightens up my lonely life When you're standing underneath its light, it keeps you warm and dries your eyes. And it burns throughout every night, and it gives me somewhere to go. Somewhere where i can pass the time, somewhere where I can feel satisfied... I adore the city shine, it gives me hope and makes me smile. When I feel like I'm on the ropes, the people there keep me company. And as sure as the sun will rise, yeah well i seek out their company. And if things get a bit out of line yeah well keep in mind, we'll make it right....

You’re working the side where I wanted to be. I wish I could know how everything seems from there. And i wish you had some room to spare. I’m dotting my I’s and crossing my T’s, And i’m taking the scraps that you laid out for me. Yeah that you laid out for me And the world never felt so cold And you hate what you need And it all, falls in on itself And you hate what you mean You're breaking the line I wanted to keep, I wish I could know, how everything feels from there Yeah and I wish you wouldn't fly off the rails Yeah well I’m crossing my heart and clenching my teeth And i’m taking the path that you laid out for me Yeah, you laid it all out for me And the world never felt so cold And you hate what you need And it all, falls in on itself so you say what you mean The weight of the world’s so damn heavy You just can’t ever seem to hold it steady There’s a crack in the wall that is bursting already You just can’t ever seem to hold it steady And the world never felt so cold And you hate what you need And it all, falls in on itself so you say what you mean

G.D.M.N.T. 03:37
I never thought I would live this long. I never thought I would make it this far. So far from perfect, oh yeah. But we're still working toward it. , oh yeah I just wanted you to light up my heart... I never put much thought toward it, somehow. And I'm still paying for it, for now. I'm real far from perfect, oh wow. But I don't worry about it, no. God don't make no trash. Ah, yeah, But He sure likes to get a laugh. Nothing comes easy, Working off the sins of Eden. So you’re pulling out your hair, and you’re pacing and weaving. You’ve been through this before, but it never had any real meaning. You hit your stride, right as you run out of time. Then the clock runs out it’s the end of your life. God don't make no trash. Ah, yeah, But He sure likes to get a laugh. Nothing comes easy, Working off the sins of Eden. God don't make no trash. Ah, yeah, But He sure likes to get a laugh. Nothing comes easy, Working off the sins of Eden.

Flat, rolling along we were born to this storm, can't turn it off and on, so we wait, for the clearing of the stage, for the clouds to open up and break If it only worked that way, I’d stay here by your side If it only were that way, there’d be no need to cry But it is what it is in the time when we’re alive, and I want you to know that you’ll always be a friend of mine, Well, I like driving, and don’t wait up cuz im not coming home. Yeah, I guess you were right, all those times, when you said that you thought that I wouldn’t ever make you mine Well, I like hiding, and don’t wake up cuz i'm not coming home Collapsed, but still rolling along we were born to this thorn, cant turn it off and on, so we wait, for the clearing of the slate, for the clouds to open up and break If it only worked that way, if it only were that way If it only worked that way, if it only were that way But it is what it is in the time when we’re alive, and I wont you to know that you’ll always be a friend of mine, Well, I like driving, and don’t wake up cuz im not coming home. I guess you were right, all those times, when you said that you thought that I wouldn’t ever make you mine Well, I like hiding, and don’t wake up cuz im not coming home

Holy Moly 03:17
Curse the moment. What did I pay for? She's in perfume. I'm a bar stool. Woah. Rusty fingers clutch the pavement. Weathered and broken. How's Los Angeles? Woah. Holy Moly! They only want what you can't give. So you're getting pretty worried, 'cause it's just now sinking in. (just now sinking in) You're fighting battles that you know you just can't win. And so you're getting pretty worried, 'cause it's just now sinking in. (just now sinking in) I'd love to leave it all behind, jump in the saddle again. Yeah, don't stare at me like you already know the ending. Sure, you're alright. I'm on my way there. Don't look at me. I don't need a thing. Holy Moly! They only want what you can't give. So you're getting pretty worried, 'cause it's just now sinking in. You're fighting battles that you know you just can't win. And so you're getting pretty worried, 'cause it's just now sinking in. Yeah the kids, they don't need you anymore. and the girls, they don't see you like they did before. Yeah you tumble in, like some creature, into the room. Yeah and I don't know the answer. Do you? (fade out long note) Holy Moly! They only want what you can't give. So you're getting pretty worried, 'cause it's just now sinking in. You're fighting battles that you know you just can't win. And so you're getting pretty worried, 'cause it's just now sinking in.
