That wasn't any better at all That didn't make me feel any better at all I thought it would, but it didn't My consciousness is bigger It gives me no pleasure to say My consciousness is bigger than yours It gives me no pleasure And we descend the basement Poorly done murals, the faces If there wasn't a house, we would build one with our bodies Hang on to my ego Everything is coming loose tonight I'm too nervous for boys now I'm too nervous for girls now Every bottle you drink must be recycled and Every plastic cup that can't be recycled in this town At the party kids come in and out Talking about T.S. Eliot It starts out fun Because the night is young But then the night gets old And it just gets cold And we go outside And we go back inside And we say what's the plan And there is no plan so we go La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la I just need to wake up burst into motion Raise my finger say aha, say moving is easy I just need to take off, burst into motion I just need to get up burst into motion Raise my finger say aha, say moving is easy I just need to get off It wasn't fun It wasn't educational It lingered on I put my fingers on you were gone Let's get away from these despicable people They can't keep their mouths to themselves I know there's lots of other guys with my name here But tell me I'm the only one that you will Does anybody use this bathroom in the daytime? Is this a house or the set of a film? Let's get away from these awful people They can't keep their minds to themselves I refuse to let go until you're impressed I refuse to let go until I'm depressed I see you reaching out to t-t-t-touch My skin shrinks, I think I'll be shocked By that static It's too dynamic Because I never wanted you to change I only wanted you to be different Like, not so distant Cause we are alone in our orgasms But your flesh seems so solid Why does it melt away In the morning dew? I'm sorry, I thought someone was there Like two mirrors gazing into each other's eyes Like two microphones kissing But oh, that night, that music! The longer it goes, the more important I feel But oh, those lights, those colors! The less I can see, the more I can feel B----- said never to write about what's in my pockets But that's where my hands are, and that's where they'll stay Because you're used to a softer touch She's just used to a gentler touch She is used to a gentleman's touch But hey man it's cool when you do it We are alone in our dreams Do we have to sleep tonight? Murmur, murmur! Coward! Building towards a meaning that'll never come Leave someone beautiful Find someone horrible Dig me I just want to have sex with you I just want to fuck you I just want to have sex with you I just want to fuck you When I say stop, When I say stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop! Bounce and stretch I stretch into a smile Not just my face, my body, my soul Because I view life as something that I Don't think I'll get away with And you think that we've already gotten away Yeah we all have dreams, I know I should have forgotten them in the morning (A dead dog painted on the sea) If none of us know the words then only the melody matters Na na na na na na na na na na na matters I wrote this verse drunk I thought it would solve everything I thought it would But it didn't When everyone was going homewards Did you cry because it was over? Or did you cry because you knew it would never end? As long as we don't go to sleep yet I promise I can't go to sleep yet Cause the night's not dead, no the night's not dead I will not go alone to my single-size bed I don't know what that means We could go anywhere But we will always be where we are We could go anywhere But we will always be where we are I waited for you on the eastern shore Watching people trying to act sober on the other side of the sea Until I laughed and headed home I learned my lesson never to roam

No, nothin' good starts in a getaway car It was the best of times, the worst of crimes I struck a match and blew your mind But I didn't mean it, and you didn't see it The ties were black, the lies were white In shades of gray in candlelight I wanted to leave him, I needed a reason "X" marks the spot where we fell apart He poisoned the well, I was lyin' to myself I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed We never had a shotgun shot in the dark (oh!) You were drivin' the getaway car We were flyin', but we'd never get far Don't pretend it's such a mystery Think about the place where you first met me Ridin' in a getaway car There were sirens in the beat of your heart Should've known I'd be the first to leave Think about the place where you first met me In a getaway car, oh-oh-oh No, they never get far, oh-oh-ah No, nothin' good starts in a getaway car It was the great escape, the prison break The light of freedom on my face But you weren't thinkin' and I was just drinkin' While he was runnin' after us, I was screamin', "Go, go, go!" But with three of us, honey, it's a sideshow And a circus ain't a love story, and now we're both sorry (we're both sorry) "X" marks the spot where we fell apart He poisoned the well, every man for himself I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed It hit you like a shotgun shot to the heart (oh!) You were drivin' the getaway car We were flyin', but we'd never get far Don't pretend it's such a mystery Think about the place where you first met me Ridin' in a getaway car There were sirens in the beat of your heart Should've known I'd be the first to leave Think about the place where you first met me In a getaway car, oh-oh-oh No, they never get far, oh-oh-ah No, nothin' good starts in a getaway car We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde (oh-oh) Until I switched to the other side, to the other side It's no surprise I turned you in (oh-oh) 'Cause us traitors never win I'm in a getaway car I left you in a motel bar Put the money in a bag and I stole the keys That was the last time you ever saw me (oh!) Drivin' the getaway car We were flyin', but we'd never get far (don't pretend) Don't pretend it's such a mystery Think about the place where you first met me Ridin' in a getaway car There were sirens in the beat of your heart (should've known) Should've known I'd be the first to leave Think about the place where you first met me In a getaway car, oh-oh-oh No, they never get far, oh-oh-ah No, nothin' good starts in a getaway car I was ridin' in a getaway car I was cryin' in a getaway car I was dyin' in a getaway car Said goodbye in a getaway car Ridin' in a getaway car I was cryin' in a getaway car I was dyin' in a getaway car Said goodbye in a getaway car

Is it too late for us? You know you got me lost in my heart Is it too late? Is it too late for us? Oh why'd you get me so high To leave me so low To leave me solo Oh I was wasting my time hoping you'd call But damn you're so cold Oh why'd you make me feel safe Just to walk away Just to let me go Oh why'd you get me so high To leave me so low To leave me solo You look like an angel Thought I was in heaven But I'm just falling without you with me I thought I was able to learn from my lessons Was trying my best but You know you got me lost in the dark Is it too late? Is it too late for us? You know you got me lost in my heart Is it too late? Is it too late for us? Oh why'd you get me so high To leave me so low To leave me solo Oh I was wasting my time hoping you'd call But damn you're so cold Oh why'd you make me feel safe Just to walk away? Just to let me go?
