"Turn Off The Lights"

I got so sick of being on my own
Now the devil won't leave me alone
It's almost like I found a friend
Who's in it for the bitter end
Our consciences are always so much heavier than our egos
I set my expectations high
So nothing ever comes out right

So shoot a star on the boulevard tonight
I think I'll figure it out with a little more time
But who needs time...

Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn on the show for me tonight
I've got my heavy heart to hold me down
Once it falls apart my head's in the clouds
So I'm taking every chance I got
Like the man I know I'm not

So sick of wasting all my time
How in gods name did I survive
I need a little sympathy
To sore my insecurities
Our consciences are always so much heavier than our egos
I set my expectations high
So nothing ever comes out right

So shoot a star on the boulevard tonight
I think I'll figure it out with a little more time
But who needs time...

Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn on the show for me tonight
I've got my heavy heart to hold me down
Once it falls apart my head's in the clouds
So I'm taking every chance I got
Like the man I know I'm not

(Oh oh oh, mmm)
A heavy heart on the boulevard tonight, ohh
Shooting stars watch me fall apart tonight, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh

Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn on the show for me tonight
I've got my heavy heart to hold me down
Once it falls apart my head's in the clouds
So I'm taking every chance I got
Like the man I know I'm not

(Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah)

"I Wanna Be Free"

Is there a heart inside the night
I can feel its vital signs
The beat goes dry, and the spirit dies
(Ohhhhh)
I wanna dig this Tinseltown til it's six feet underground
It's safe to say that timing is everything (is everything)

I wanna be free, I wanna be loved
I wanna be more than you're thinking of
Everything seems to be estranged when you're alone...

Played our parts and covered ground
Drowned our sorrows, laid em' down
My memory is keeping the effigy

I wanna be free, I wanna be loved
I wanna be more than you're thinking of
Everything seems to be estranged when your alone...

One day I'll stop keeping track
And give myself time to react
One day... one day...

I wanna be free, I wanna be loved
I wanna be more than you're thinking of
Everything seems to be estranged when your alone...

Wanna be free, wanna be loved
Wanna be more than you're thinking of
Everything seems to be estranged when your alone...
Ohhhhh... (Yeah!)

"Stall Me"

Fall to your knees
And kiss the ring,
The crowd's rejoicing
All of my dreams wake up to despise
A world I once loved

Why would you bring me in
If you knew what you'd become
So curse everyone and everything,
even the sun

Stall me, stall me, I'm all in
Stall me, call me out or break me in
A dark room and the wallflower
got in at the party
She's got four on the floor
She's waiting to kickstart me
So just stall me

I had a rosy dream
You gave up on you
And I gave up on me
Well love came along and said,
“Leave them be.”
We were wrecked on every rocky tasted
Light a cork my pretty little angel
I’m singing to empty bottles everywhere, everywhere

Stall me, stall me I'm all in
Stall me, call me off or break me in
A dark room and the wallflower
got in at the party
She's got four on the floor
She's waiting to kickstart me
So just stall me

She counts on stars, astrology
My moods are mercurial
But I know Mercury
Don’t hold your breath
Baptized in the river of you
Hold on death, the moon,
the stars a sliver of you

Stall me, stall me I'm all in
Stall me, call me off or break me in
A dark room and the wallflower got in at the party
tall me, stall me I'm all in
Stall me, call me off or break me in
A dark room and the wallflower got in at the party

She's got four on the floor
She's waiting to kickstart me
She said she’s got more where that came from to spark me
So just stall me

"Sarah Smiles"

I was fine just a guy living on my own,
Waiting for the sky to fall
Then you called and changed it all,
Doll,

Velvet lips and the eyes to pull me in,
We both know you'd already win,
Mm your original sin,

You fooled me once with your eyes now honey,
You fooled me twice with your lies and I say,

Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care,
She lives in her world so unaware,
Does she know that my destiny lies with her,

Sarah (Sarah, Sarah, Sarah)
Oh Sarah (Sarah) are you saving me?

Waking up to a kiss and you're on your way,
I really hoped that you would stay,
But you left and went your own way,
Babe,

I don't mind take your time I got things to do,
Besides sit around and wait for you,
Oh and I hope you do too,

You fooled me once with your eyes now honey,
You fooled me twice with your lies and I say,

Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care,
She lives in her world so unaware,
Does she know that my destiny lies with her,

Sarah,
Oh Sarah,
are you saving me?

And it's killing me inside,
Consuming all my time,
You've left me blind,
And when I think I'm right,
You strip away my pride,
You cast it all aside but I say,

Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care,
She lives in her world so unaware,
Does she know that my destiny lies with her,

Sarah (Sarah)
Oh Sarah (Sarah) are you saving me?

"Nearly Witches (Ever Since We Met...)"

My wing tips waltz across naive
Wood floors they creak
Innocently down the stairs

Drag melody
My percussive feet serve cobweb headaches as a
Matching set of marching clocks
The slumbering apparitions
That they've come to wake up

(do do do do)

Here I am composing a burlesque
Out of where they rest their necks
Sunken in their splintered cradles
And ramshackle heads
They asked for it
As a girl

You have set your heart
On haunting me forever
From the start
It's never silent

Ever since we met
I only shoot up with your perfume
It's the only thing
That makes me feel as good as you do
Ever since we met
I've got just one regret to live through
And that one regret is you

How does a heart love, if no one has noticed its presence
And where does it go?
Trembling hands play my heart like a trombone
The beats gone and lost in the show

You have set your heart
On haunting me forever
From the start
It's never silent

Ever since we met
I only shoot up with your perfume
It's the only thing
That makes me feel as good as you do
Ever since we met
I've got just one regret to live through
And I regret never letting you go!

Ever since we met
I only shoot up with your perfume
It's the only thing
That makes me feel as good as you do
Ever since we met
I've got just one regret to live through
And that one regret is you

Mona Lisa pleased to please ya
(And that one regret is you)
Mona Lisa pleased to please ya
(And that one regret is you)
Mona Lisa pleased to please ya

"Bittersweet"

I'm just setting, I'm just setting a trap
And I'm not pulling, no
I'm not pulling for you, you're just pulling at me
I'm not a betting man but this is a sure thing

I've been to Tokyo and to South Africa
So many places that you might say I've seen it all
But my favorite place is the warm embrace
Of holding your hair back in a bathroom stall

Everything I do is bittersweet
You could tell me secrets that I'll probably repeat
I'm not trying to hurt you, I just love to speak
It feels like we're pulling teeth
So bittersweet

I guess that's how its gotta be
I guess that's how its gotta be

All that hate is gonna burn you up
It keeps me warm at night
Warmer than anyone
I think how many drinks I've had
No more in either hand
I'm slurring on purpose
And it's certainly worth it

Everything I do is bittersweet
You could tell me secrets that I'll probably repeat
I'm not trying to hurt you, I just love to speak
It feels like we're pulling teeth
So bittersweet

I guess that's how its gotta be
I guess that's how its gotta be
I guess that's how its gotta be

You and me
Another puppetry
It's such a mystery why you're here
And you became as clear as cellophane
My voice of reasoning
I don't think I can take the way you make me out to be

I'm just setting, I'm just setting a trap
And I'm not pulling, no
I'm not pulling for ya

Everything I do is bittersweet
You could tell me secrets that I'll probably repeat
I'm not trying to hurt you, I just love to speak
It feels like we're pulling teeth
So bittersweet

It feels like we're pulling teeth
So bittersweet

It feels like we're pulling teeth
So bittersweet

"Kaleidoscope Eyes"

I'm a disappearing act done poorly
But if I ever get it right, you'll miss me sorely
I look like the cat that just ate the canary
Coughing up feathers
There's a "get out of jail" card if I can think of something clever

I'll plead the fifth on all of this

When your chips are down, and your drinks are all gone
I'll still be here, wishing and waiting for you to come home
Kaleidoscope eyes, sparkle at the world
My emerald city, downtown girl
In the sickness of you, I'm just a white blood cell
Fighting like hell for you

Oh, I'm just a crack, with no intent or stash
Pour gasoline on the vault just to burn the cash
I swear to God, I'd never heard a better sound coming out
Then when you're whimpering my name from your mouth

I'll plead the fifth on all of this

When your chips are down, and your drinks are all gone
I'll still be here, wishing and waiting for you to come home
Kaleidoscope eyes, sparkle at the world
My emerald city, downtown girl
In the sickness of you, I'm just a white blood cell
Fighting like hell for you

I've got an insatiable desire for your insides
It's undeniable, I'll conspire and pull against your body tonight

When your chips are down, and your drinks are all gone
I'll still be here, wishing and waiting for you to come home
Kaleidoscope eyes, sparkle at the world
My emerald city, downtown girl
In the sickness of you, I'm just a white blood cell
Fighting like hell for you
