Somebody Told Me

Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
I'm breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential

Ready? Let's roll onto something new
Taking its toll and I'm leaving without you
Ready? Let's roll onto something new
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss

Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around

Pace yourself from me
I said maybe baby please
But I just don't know now

Somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around

Кто-то мне сказал

Я из кожи вон лезу, чтобы просто узнать твоё имя.
Семнадцать песен – и я закончил эту игру.
Я из кожи вон лезу, чтобы просто узнать твоё имя.
Но небеса далеки отсюда.
Всякое случается, но не спи, а то что-нибудь пропустишь,
Потому что небеса далеки отсюда.
Я сказал, небеса далеки отсюда.
Верни всё, как было, верни всё назад сегодня ночью.
Я не думал, что какие-то слухи могут помешать мне любоваться лунным светом.

Ну, кто-то мне сказал,
Что твой бойфренд
Похож на девушку,
С которой у меня был роман в феврале прошлого года.
Эта информация не конфиденциальна.
Ну и потенциал у меня!

Готова? Давай поговорим о чём-нибудь другом,
Что для нас важно: я уйду без тебя.

Больше не ходи за мной.
Я сказал: «Детка, пожалуйста, может…».
Но теперь я просто не знаю.

I'm coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

And I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

Cause I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door

Close your eyes, clear your heart
Cut the cord

Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know

Wave good bye, wish me well
You've gotta let me go

Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer?

Will your system be all right
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating

Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer

You've gotta let me know

Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human
Or are we dancer?

Are we human or are we dancer?
Are we human or are we dancer?

Mr. Brightside

Coming out of my cage

Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullaby
Joking on your alibI
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
I'm Mr. Brightside

Мистер Оптимизм

Я выхожу из своей клетки.
Там мне было хорошо.
Но я в расстроенных чувствах,
Потому что хочу сразу всего.
Всё началось с поцелуя.
Как же это могло так закончиться?
Это был просто поцелуй.
Это был просто поцелуй.

Теперь я засыпаю,
А она ловит такси.
Пока он курит,
Она делает затяжку.

Они собрались ложиться спать,
И меня тошнит,
Потому что я всё это представляю.
А тем временем она дотрагивается до его груди.

Он снимает с неё платье.
Отпусти меня,
Я не могу смотреть на это.
Это меня убивает,
Я подавлен.

Ревность
Превращает святых в море
С помощью тошнотворных колыбелей.
Ревность подшучивает над твоим алиби.
Но я должен заплатить эту цену.
Меня зовёт голос судьбы.
Открой мои жаждущие глаза.

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save your from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now- here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young

Can we climb this mountain
I don't know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now, watch it go

We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you Used to live
When you were young

They say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet
You don't have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young
When you were young

I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

On the corner of main street
Just tryin' to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on and
You say I'm falling behind

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

I never really gave up on
Breakin' out of this two-star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I'm gonna turn this thing around

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

The good old days, the honest man;
The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees;
A broken wrist and a big trapeze

Oh well I don't mind, you don't mind
Coz I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?

It’s funny how you just break down
Waitin' on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soakin' my spine

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

The teenage queen, the loaded gun;
The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
A southern drawl, a world unseen;
A city wall and a trampoline

Oh well I don't mind, you don't mind
Coz I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go
Tell me what you find when you read my mind

Slippin’ in my faith until I fall
He never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don't let it stay
I wanna breathe that fire again

She said
Oh well I don't mind, you don't mind
Coz I don't shine if you don't shine

Put your back on me
Put your back on me
Put your back on me

The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
When you read my mind

It started with a low light,
Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed
And then they took my blood type
It left a strange impression in my head.
You know that I was hoping,
That I could leave this star-crossed world behind
But when they cut me open,
I guess I changed my mind.

And you know I might
Have just flown too far from the floor this time
Cause they're calling me by my name
And the zipping white light beams
Disregards the bombs and satellites

That was the turning point
That was one lonely night

The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down
Its all in your mind"

Well now I'm back at home, and
I'm looking forward to this life I live
You know its gonna haunt me
So hesitation to this life I give.
You think you might cross over,
You're caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
You better look it over,
Before you make that leap

And you know I'm fine,
But I hear those voices at night sometimes-
They justify my claim,
And the public don't dwell my transmission
Cause it wasn't televised

But, it was the turning point,
Oh what a lonely night

The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down
Its all in your mind"

The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad;
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down
Its all in your mind"

My global position systems are vocally addressed
They say the Nile used to run from East to West,
They say the Nile used to run...
From East to West.

о о о о о о оооа x4
я очнулся в полумраке.
Тогда я понял - меня вытащили из постели,
Потом проверили, какая у меня группа крови.
Это оставило довольно странное впечатление.
Знаешь, я надеялся,
что смогу сбежать с этой несчастной планеты,
Но вот когда они меня вскрыли,
Я передумал.

И, знаешь, на этот раз
Я все-таки улечу далеко с этой земли,
Ведь они все зовут меня по имени
И испускают эти белые световые вспышки,
И плевать им на бомбы и спутники.

И это был поворотный момент,
Это была очередная одинокая ночь.

Стихотворец сказал: "Это не так плохо"
Мечтатель собирается свести вас с ума,
А пришелец говорит: "Эй все, посмотрите вниз,
Это всего лишь ваше воображение."

И вот я вернулся,
Ожидая грядущую жизнь.
Но, знаешь, это будет преследовать меня,
Поэтому уже сомневаюсь в том, как я живу.
Ты думаешь, что сможешь решиться?
А сам-то мечешься меж двух огней.
Поэтому лучше уж хорошенько всё продумать,
Перед тем, как кинуться в неизвестность...

И знаешь, со мной-то все в порядке,
Но я опять иногда слышу ночью те голоса,
И они подтверждают, что я прав.
Но люди не воспринимают серьезно мои сигналы,
Ведь их не транслировали по новостям.

И это был поворотный момент,
о, какая одинокая ночь!

Стихотворец сказал: "Это не так плохо"
Мечтатель собирается свести вас с ума

Я обращаюсь ко всем моим gps.
Они сообщают, что Нил бежал с Востока на Запад.
Они сообщают, что Нил бежал ... с Востока на Запад.

и знаешь, со мной-то все в порядке,
но я всё равно иногда слышу ночью те голоса…

I pack my case. I check my face. I look a little bit older. I look a little bit colder. With one deep breath, and one big step, I move a little bit closer. I move a little bit closer. For reasons unknown.

I caught my stride. I flew and flied. I know if destiny’s kind, I’ve got the rest on my mind. But my heart, it don’t beat, it don’t beat the way it used to. And my eyes, they don’t see you no more. And my lips, they don’t kiss, they don’t kiss the way they used to, and my eyes don’t recognize you no more.

For reasons unknown; for reasons unknown.

There was an open chair. We sat down in the open chair. I said if destiny’s kind, I’ve got the rest on my mind. But my heart, it don’t beat, it don’t beat the way it used to. And my eyes, they don’t see you no more. And my lips, they don’t kiss, they don’t kiss the way they used to, and my eyes don’t recognize you at all.

For reasons unknown; for reasons unknown.

I said my heart, it don’t beat, it don’t beat the way it used to and my eyes don’t recognize you no more. And my lips, they don’t kiss, they don’t kiss the way they used to, and my eyes don’t recognize you no more.

For reasons unknown; for reasons unknown; for reasons unknown; for reasons unknown.

Racey days
Help me through the hopeless haze
But my oh my
Tragic eyes
I can't even recognize myself behind
So if the answer is no
Can I change your mind

Out again, a siren screams at half past ten
And you won't let go
While I ignore, that we both felt like this
Before it starts to show
So if I had a chance
Would you let me know

Why aren't you shaking
Step back in time
Graciously taken
Oh you're too kind

And if the answer is no
Can I change your mind

We're all the same
And love is blind
The sun is gone
Before it shines

And I said if the answer is no
Can I change your mind

Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine

We took a walk that night, but it wasn't the same
We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go
She couldn't scream while I held I close
I swore I'd never let her go
Tell me what you wanna know
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
So come on, oh come on, oh come on

I know my rights, I've been here all day and it's time
For me to go, so let me know if it's alright
I just can't take this, I swear I told you the truth
She couldn't scream while I held I close
I swore I'd never let her go

Tell me what you wanna know
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
And then you whisper in my ear
I know what you're doing here
So come on, oh come on, oh come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on

Дженни была моим другом

В тот вечер мы пошли прогуляться, но всё было не так, как раньше.
Мы поссорились прямо на улице, стоя под дождём.
Она сказала, что любит меня, но должна куда-то уехать.
У неё не было возможности кричать, потому что я крепко держал её.
Я поклялся, что никогда не отпущу её.
Скажите, что ещё вы хотите знать?
Ну, давайте, давайте, давайте.
У этого преступления нет мотива.
Дженни была моим другом.
Да ладно, вам, да ладно вам, да ладно вам!

Я знаю свои права. Я провёл здесь весь день, и теперь
Мне пора идти, поэтому скажите, что ко мне претензий нет.
Я не могу принять это. Клянусь, я сказал правду.
У неё не было возможности кричать, потому что я крепко держал её.
Я поклялся, что никогда не отпущу её.

Скажите, что ещё вы хотите знать?
Ну, давайте, давайте, давайте,
А после вы шепчете мне на ухо.
Я знаю, чем вы здесь занимаетесь.
Ну, давайте, давайте, давайте.
У этого преступления нет мотива.
Дженни была моим другом.
Да ладно, вам, да ладно вам, да ладно вам!

Save some face, you know you've only got one
Change your ways while you're young
Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh girl, he'll help you understand
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

Looking back at sunsets on the Eastside
We lost track of the time
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things sat by so carelessly

Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

And someone is calling my name
From the back of the restaurant
And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in
And someone will drive her around
Down the same streets that I did
On the same streets that I did

Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

Oh no, oh no no no
Oh no, oh no no no

перевод:

пасай свою репутацию, ты же знаешь, что другой у тебя не будет.
Изменись, пока молод.
Мальчик, однажды ты станешь мужчиной.
О, детка, он поможет тебе понять.
Улыбнись, словно тебе весело.
Улыбнись, словно тебе весело.

Я вспоминаю заходы солнца на Истсайде:
Тогда мы потеряли счёт времени.
Но мечты уже не те, что были раньше,
А на некоторые вещи мы вообще не обращаем внимания.

Улыбнись, словно тебе весело.
Улыбнись, словно тебе весело.

Кто-то зовёт меня по имени
Из глубины ресторана.
Кто-то играет в игру
В доме, где я вырос.
Кто-то будет подвозить её
По тем же улицам, что и я,
По тем же улицам, что и я.

Улыбнись, словно тебе весело.
Улыбнись, словно тебе весело.
Улыбнись, словно тебе весело.
Улыбнись, словно тебе весело.

О, нет, нет.
О, нет, нет.

Come with me.

We took a back road.
We're gonna look at the stars.
We took a backroad in my car.
Down to the ocean,
it’s only water and sand
And in the ocean we'll hold hands.

But I don't really like you, apologetically dressed in the best, but on a heartbeat glide.

Without an answer, the thunder speaks for the sky, and on the cold, wet dirt I cry.
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry.

Don’t you wanna come with me? Don’t you wanna feel my bones
on your bones?
It's only natural.

A cinematic vision ensued
like the holiest dream.
It's someone's calling?
An angel whispers my name,
but the message relayed is the same:
“Wait till tomorrow,
you'll be fine.
But it's gone to the dogs in my mind.
I always hear them
when the dead of night
comes calling to save me from this fight.
But they can never wrong this right.

Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones
on your bones?
It's only natural.
Don’t you wanna swim with me? Don’t you wanna feel my skin
on your skin?
It's only natural.

Never had a lover,
never had soul.
Never had a good time,
never got cold.

Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones
on your bones?
It's only natural.
Don't you wanna swim with me? Don't you wanna feel my skin
on your skin?
It's only natural.
Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones
on your bones?
It’s only natural.
Come and take a swim with me. Don't you wanna feel my skin
on your skin?
It’s only natural

When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more sun
One more sun
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on

I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on, in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand

Another head aches, another heart breaks
I'm so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no

Help me out - Yeah
You know you got to help me out - Yeah
Oh, don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out - Yeah

And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more sun
These changes ain't changing me
The cold-hearted boy I used to be

Yeah
You know you got to help me out - Yeah
Oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out - Yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down - Yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down - Yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down

I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier

Yeah
You know you got to help me out - Yeah
Oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out - Yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down - Yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down - Yeah
Oh don't you put me on the back burner
You're gonna bring yourself down - Yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down

Over and in, last call for sin
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
All these things that I've done
If you can hold on
If you can hold on

Candy talks to strangers
Thinks her life's in danger
No one gives a damn about her hair
It's lonely down on track street
She used to go by Jackie
The cops, they'll steal your dreams and they'll kill your prayers
Take a number where the blood just barely dried

Wait for something better
No one behind you
Watching your shadows
This feeling won't go

Crooked wheels keep turnin'
Children, are you learnin'
Acclimatize, but don't you lose the plot
A history of blisters
Your brothers and your sisters
Somewhere in the pages we forgot

Take a number Jackie
Where the blood just barely dried
You know I'm on your side

Wait for something better
No one behind you
Watching your shadows
You gotta be stronger than the story
Don't let it blind you
Rivers of shadow
This feeling won't go

And the sky is full of dreams
But you don't know how to fly
I don't have a simple answer
But I know that I could ask for
Something better

This feeling won't go

Wait for it (x4)

Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking the drag

Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now

He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullaby
Joking on your alibI
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
I'm Mr. Brightside

The Dustland Fairytale beginning
With just another white trash county kiss in '61.
Long brown hair, and foolish eyes.
He'd look just like you'd want him to
Some kind of slick chrome American prince.

Blue Jean serenade
Moon river what you do to me.
I don't believe you.

Saw Cinderella in a party dress, she was looking for a nightgown.
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, he's getting ready for the showdown.
I saw the minute that I turned away, I got my money on a pawn tonight.

Change came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fire.
She said she always knew he'd come around.
And the decades disappear
Like sinking ships but we persevere.
God gives us hope but we still fear, we don't know.

Your mind is poisoned.
Castles in the sky, sit stranded, vandalized.
The drawbridge is closing.

Saw Cinderella in a party dress, she was looking for a nightgown.
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, he's getting ready for the showdown.
I saw the ending where they turned the page, I threw my money and I ran away.
Sent to the valley of the great divide
Out where the dreams all hide.
Out where the wind don't blow,
Out where the good girls die.
And the sky moves slow
I hear the bird don't sing
I hear the field don't blow
I hear the bell don't ring
I hear the bell don't ring
Out here the good girls die
Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep, it's such a bitter form of refuge.
Why don't you know the kingdoms under siege and everyone needs you
Is there still magic in the midnight sun, or did you leave it back in '61?
In the cadence of a young man's eyes.
Out where the dreams all hide

White demon love song down the hall
White demon shadow on the road
Back up your mind, there is a call
He isn't coming after all
Love this time
She likes the way he sings
White demon love song's in her dreams

White demon, where's your selfish kiss?
White demon sorrow will arrange
Let's not forget about the fear
Black invitation to this place that cannot change
While strangely holy, come for a rain

(darling)

White demon, widen your heart's scope
White demon, who let your friends go?
White demon, widen your heart's scope
White demon, who let your friends go?

Let us be in love
(let us be in love)
Let's do old and grey
(let's do old and grey)
I won't make you cry
(I won't make you cry)
I will never stray
(I will never stray)
I will do my part
(I will do my part)
Let us be in love tonight

White demon, widen your heart's scope
White demon, who let your friends go?
White demon, widen your heart's scope
White demon, who let your friends go?

(stand it anymore, darling)
(stand it)

(I can't stand it anymore, darling)
(stand it)

Your class, your caste, your country, sect, your name or your tribe
There's people always dying trying to keep them alive
There's bodies decomposing in containers tonight
In an abandoned building where
The squatters made a mural of a Mexican girl
With fifteen cans of spray paint in a chemical swirl
She's standing in the ashes at the end of the world
Four Winds blowing through her hair

But when Great Satan's gone... the Whore of Babylon...
She just can't sustain the pressure where it's placed
She caves

The Bible's blind. The Torah's deaf. The Qu'ran is mute.
If you burned them all together you’d get close to the truth
Still they’re pouring over sandscript under Ivy League moons
While shadows lengthen in the sun
Cast on a school of meditation built to soften the times
And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds
It's knocking over fences, crossing property lines
Four Winds cry until it comes

It's the Sum of Man slouching towards Bethlehem
A heart just can't contain all of that empty space
It breaks. It breaks. It breaks.

Well I went back by rented Cadillac and company jet
Like a newly orphaned refugee retracing my steps
All the way to Cassadaga to commune with the dead
They said, "You'd better look alive"
And now it’s off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps
In the Black Hills, the Badlands, the calloused East
I buried my ballast. I made my peace.

Heard Four Winds leveling the pines

But when Great Satan's gone, the Whore of Babylon
She just can't remain with all that outer space
She breaks. She breaks. She caves. She caves.

You'd better look alive
===========================
ЧЕТЫРЕ ВЕТРА
Твой класс, твоя каста, твоя страна, секта, твоё имя или твоё племя -
Всегда есть люди, умирающие, пытаясь поддерживать их.
Есть тела, разлагающиеся в контейнерах этой ночью
В заброшенном доме, где
Скваттеры* сделали фреску мексиканской девочки
С помощью пятнадцати баллонов краски, замешанной в химический водоворот.
Она стоит в пепле на краю света,
И Четыре Ветра развевают ее волосы.

Но когда Великий Сатана ушёл... Шлю*а Вавилона...
Она просто не может выдержать давление. Там, где оно сильнее всего,
Она проделывает дыру...

Библия слепа. Тор глух. Коран нем.
Если бы ты сжёг их всех вместе, ты был бы ближе к правде,
Но они по-прежнему льются строчками под лунами Лиги Плюща,
В то время как удлиняются тени,
Брошенные на школу медитации, призванной смягчить времена.
Держи нас в центре, пока раскручивается спираль
Заваливая заборы, пересекая границы частных владений.
Четыре Ветра будут завывать до тех пор, пока это не случится.

Это - задача Человека, кланяющегося Вифлеему.
Сердцу тяжело, когда в нём только пустота.
Оно разбито. Оно разбито. Оно разбито.

И вот, я вернулся на арендованном "Кадиллаке" и корпоративном самолёте,
Как недавно осиротевший беженец, идущий по своим же следам,
А все пути ведут к Кассадаге, чтобы общаться с мертвыми.
Они сказали, "Вам лучше бы выглядеть живыми"
И теперь я отправляюсь прочь, в старую Дакоту, где геноцид на время утих.
На Чёрных Холмах, на бесплодных землях, на суровом Востоке
Я сбросил камень с души души и обрёл покой,

Услышав Четыре Ветра, раскачивающих сосны...

Но когда Великий Сатана ушёл... Шлю*а Вавилона...
Она просто не может остаться во всём этом космосе...
Она разбита. Она разбита. Она проделывает дыру... Она проделывает дыру...

Вам лучше бы выглядеть живыми.

"Shot At The Night"

Once in a lifetime, the suffering of fools
To find our way home, to break in these palms
Once in a lifetime (Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime

Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious

Once in a lifetime, the breaking of the roof
To find that our home, has long been out grown
Draw me a life line, 'cause honey I got nothing to lose
Once in a lifetime (Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime

Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night

Look at my reflection in the mirror
Underneath the power of the light
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a shot at the night
I feel like I'm losing the fight

Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night

Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night

Time it tells living in my home town,
Wedding bells they begin easy
Live it down, baby don’t talk that much,
Baby knows, but baby don’t tease me.
In the park we could go walking,
Drowned in the dark or we could go sailing
On the sea

Always here, always on time
Close call, was it love or was it just easy
Money talks when people need shoes and socks,
Steady boys, I'm thinking she needs me

I was just sipping on something sweet
I don’t need political process

I got this feeling that they‘re gonna break down the door
I got this feeling they they’re gonna come back for more
See I was thinking that I lost my mind
But it’s been getting to me all this time
And it don’t stop dragging me down

Silently reflection turns my world to stone
Patiently correction leaves us all alone
And sometimes I’m a travel man
But tonight this engine's failing

I still hear the children playing

Kick the can, kick the can, skip and blackjack
Steal a car and ring a round-rosey,
Rock and roll, candyland, boogeyman,
Run away and give me your sneakers

Acid rain, when Abel looked up at Cain
We began the weeping and wailing
A hurried high from pestilence pills and pride,
It’s a shame, we could have gone sailing
But heaven knows,
Heaven knows everything
Tranquilize

I got this feeling that they‘re gonna break down the door
I got this feeling they they’re gonna come back for more
See I was thinking that I lost my mind
But it’s been getting to me all this time
And it don’t stop dragging me down

Silently reflection turns my world to stone
Patiently correction leaves us all alone
And sometimes I’m travel man
But tonight this engine's failing

I still hear the children playing
Dead beat dancers come to us and stay

Cause i don’t care where you've been
And I don’t care what you've seen
We’re the ones who still believe
And we’re looking for a page
In that lifeless book of hope
Where a dream might help you cope
With the Bushes and the bombs
aha, Tranquilized.

Glamorous
Indie rock'n'roll is what I want
It's in my soul, it's what I need
Indie rock'n'roll, it's time
Two of us
Flipping through a thrift store magazine
She plays the drums, I'm on tambourine
Bet your, your bottom dollar on me

It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
It's all I need
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me

In a clutch
I'm talking every word for all the boys
Electric girls with worn down toys
Makin' up, breakin' up, what do you care
Oh what do you care?

I take my twist with a shout
A coffee shop with a cause, man i'll freak you out
No sex, no drugs, no life, no love
When it comes to today

Stay if you wanna love me, stay
Oh don't be shy, let's cause a scene
Like lovers do on silver screens
Let's make it yeah, we'll cause a scene

It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
It's all I need
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me

In a clutch
I'm talking every word for all the boys
It's all I need
Makin' up, breakin' up, what do you care?
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me

Two of us
Flipping through a thrift store magazine
It's all I need
Makin' up, breakin' up, what do you care?
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me

12. Sam's Town (2006)

Aggressively
We all defend the role we play
Regrettably
Times come to send you on your way

We've seen it all
Bonfires of trust
Flashfloods of pain

It doesn't really matter
Don't you worry, it'll all work out
No, it doesn't even matter
Don't you worry, that ain't what it's all about

We hope you enjoyed your stay
It's good to have you with us
Even if it's just for the day
We hope you enjoyed your stay
Outside the sun is shining
It seems like heaven ain't far away
It's good to have you with us
Even if it's just for the day

It's good to have you with us
Even if it's just for the day
Outside the sun is shining
Seems like heaven ain't far away

It's good to have you with us
Even if it's just for the day
Outside the sun is shining
Seems like heaven ain't far away
Seems like heaven ain't far away...

I know what you want
I wanna take you a midnight show tonight
If you can keep a secret
I got a blanket in the back seat on my mind
And a little place that sits beneath the sky
She turned her face to speak
But no-one heard her cry
Drive faster, boy
Drive faster, boy

I know there's a hope
There's too many people trying to help me cope
You got a real short skirt
I wanna look up, look up, look up, yeah yeah

We were just in time
Let me take a little more off your mind
There's something in my head
Somewhere in the back said
We were just a good thing
We were such a good thing

Make it go away without a word
But promise me you'll stay
And fix these things I've hurt
Oh make it go away!

Drive faster, boy
Drive faster, boy

Oh crashing tide can't hide a guilty girl
With jealous hearts that start with gloss and curls
I took my baby's breath beneath the chandelier
Of stars in atmosphere
And watch her disappear
Into the midnight show...

Oh faster, faster, faster...
Oh no no no no no...
If you keep a secret
Well baby... you can keep a secret
If you keep a secret...

Oh Santa, I’ve been waiting on you
That’s funny kid because I’ve been coming for you
Oh Santa, I’ve been killing just for fun
Well the party’s over kid
Because I, because I got a bullet in my gun
A bullet in your what?
Santa’s got a bullet in his gun
You know it, Santa’s got a bullet in his gun

Don’t shoot me Santa Claus
I’ve been a clean living boy
I promise you, did every little thing you asked me to
I can’t believe the things I’m going through
Don’t shoot me Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the block they tease me
I couldn’t let them off that easy

Oh Santa, it’s been a real hard year
There just ain’t no gettin’ around this
Life is hard but look at me, I turned out alrightly
Hey Santa, why don’t we talk about it?
Work it out, believe me
This ain’t what I wanted, I love all you kids, you know that
Hell, I remember when you were just 10 years old
Playing out there in the desert
Just waiting for a sip of that sweet Mojave rain
In the sweet Mojave rain, the boy was on his own

Don’t shoot me Santa Claus
I’ve been a clean living boy
I promise you, did every little thing you asked me to
I can’t believe the things I’m going through
Hey Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the block they tease me
I couldn’t let them off that easy

They had it coming, so why can’t you see?
I couldn’t turn my cheek no longer
The sun is going down and Christmas is near
Just look the other way and I’ll disappear forever. Woo!

Don’t shoot me Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the street they tease me
I couldn’t let them off that easy
Believe me, Santa, Santa

ПЕРЕВОД

Я ждал Тебя, забавно, парень
Ведь я приехал к тебе...
О, Санта, я убивал только для забавы.
Ну, что - закончилась вечеринка,
Так как у меня...Так как у меня есть пуля в пистолете.
Пуля в Вашем чём!?
(У Санты есть пуля в пистолете)
(Вы знаете это, у Санты есть пуля в пистолете)

Не стреляй в меня, Санта Клаус!
Я был хорошим мальчиком...
Я обещал и сделал всё, о чём ты просил меня.
Я не могу поверить, что всё это происходит со мной...
Не стреляй в меня, Санта Клаус!
Отлично, никто вокруг не верит мне больше!
Но дети в моём квартале дразнят меня!
Я не мог так просто спустить им это!

О, Санта, это был очень тяжелый год,
Никому от этого не деться - жизнь трудна...
Но посмотри на меня! Со мной всё в порядке.
Эй, Санта, почему бы нам не поговорить об этом,
Решить это? Верь мне!
Это не то, чего я хотел
Я люблю вас всех, детишки, и вы знаете это...
Черт, я помню, когда вам было по десять лет
И вы играли там, в пустыне,
Ожидая глотка долгожданного Мохаве-дождя...
Дождя, под которым парни были предоставлены сами себе...

Не стреляй в меня, Санта Клаус!
Я был хорошим мальчиком...
Я обещал и сделал всё, о чём ты просил меня.
Я не могу поверить, что всё это происходит со мной...
Не стреляй в меня, Санта Клаус!
Отлично, никто вокруг не верит мне больше!
Но дети в моём квартале дразнят меня!
Я не мог так просто спустить им это!

Они знали, что их ждёт.
Итак, почему ты не понимаешь:
Я больше не мог подставлять свою щеку!
Солнце садится, Рождество совсем близко...
Отвернись, и я исчезну навсегда! Умоляю!

Не стреляй в меня, Санта Клаус!
Отлично, никто вокруг не верит мне больше!
Но дети в моём квартале дразнят меня!
Я не мог так просто спустить им это!
Поверь мне! Санта! Санта!

The emotion it was electric
And the stars, they all aligned
I knew I had to make my decision
But I never made the time
No, I never made the time

In the dark, for a while now
I can't stay, so far
I can't stay much longer
Riding my decision home

Exoneration lost his eraser
But my forgiver found the sun
And there are twisted days that I take comfort
Cause I'm not the only one
No, I'm not the only one

In the dark, for a while now
I can't stay very far
I can't stay much longer
Riding my decision home

There is a majesty at my doorstep
There is a little boy in her arms
Now we'll parade around without game plans
Obligation or alarm

In the dark, for a while now
I can't stay very far
I can't stay much longer
Riding my decision home

In the dark, for a while now
I can't stay so far
I can't stay much longer
Riding my decision home
In the dark

Be still
And go on to bed
Nobody knows what lies ahead
And life is short
To say the least
We're in the belly of the beast

Be still
Wild and young
Long may your innocence reign
Like shells on the shore
And may your limits be unknown
And may your efforts be your own
If you ever feel you can't take it anymore

Don't break character
You've got a lot of heart
Is this real or just a dream?
Rise up like the sun
Labor till the work is done

Be still
One day you'll leave
Fearlessness on your sleeve
When you've come back, tell me what did you see
What did you see
Was there something out there for me?

Be still
Close your eyes
Soon enough you'll be on your own
Steady and straight
And if they drag you through the mud
It doesn't change what's in your blood
(Over chains)
When they knock you down

Don't break character
You've got a lot of heart
Is this real or just a dream?
Be still
Be still
Be still
Be still

Over rock and chain
Over sunset plain
Over trap and snare
When you're in too deep
In your wildest dream
In your made up scheme
When they knock you down
When they knock you down

Don't break character
You've got sooooo much heart
Is this real or just a dream?
Oh Rise up like the sun
And labor till the work is done
Rise up like the sun
Labor till the work is

Rise up like the sun
And labor till the work is done

The unknown distance to the great beyond
Stares back at my grieving frame
To cast my shadow by the holy sun
My spirit moans with a sacred pain
And it's quiet now
The universe is standing still

There's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now

And all that stands between the souls release?
This temporary flesh and bone
We know that it's over now
I feel my faded mind begin to roam

Every time you fall
And every time you try
Every foolish dream
And every compromise
Every word you spoke
And everything you said
Everything you left me, rambles in my head

There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now

Up above the world so high

And everything you loved
And every time you try
Everybody's watching
Everybody cry

Stay, don't leave me
The stars can't for your sign
Don't signal now

And there's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now

Goodnight, travel well
Goodnight, travel well

And there's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now

Неведомая даль по ту сторону бесконечности
Уставилась на мой печальный силуэт,
Отбрасывающий тень в лучах чудотворного светила….
Мой дух стонет священной болью,
Всё стихло,
Вселенная замерла….

Мне нечего сказать,
Мы уже ничего не можем сделать…
Мне нечего сказать,
Мы уже ничего не можем сделать…

И всё это предваряет освобождение души??
Это временное телесное существование…
Мы знаем, что оно подошло к концу,
И я чувствую, как мой померкший разум начинает свои скитания….

Каждое твоё падение,
Каждая твоя попытка,
Каждая глупая мечта
И компромисс,
Каждое тобой произнесённое слово,
И все твои мысли –
Всё, что ты оставила, всё это вертится у меня в голове….

Мне нечего сказать,
Я уже ничего не могу сделать…
Мне нечего сказать,
Я уже ничего не могу сделать…

В вышине... Высоко над этим миром….

Всё, что ты любила,
Все твои попытки…
Все смотрят
И плачут…

Останься, не покидай меня…
Звёзды погаснут, когда ты подашь знак,
Не делай этого сейчас…

Мне нечего сказать,
Я уже ничего не могу сделать…
Мне нечего сказать,
Я уже ничего не могу сделать…

Спокойной ночи, доброго пути!
Спокойной ночи, доброго пути!

Мне нечего сказать,
Я уже ничего не могу сделать…

It's getting close to sundown over the Sierra
Stranded on the heatwave burning with desire
She was on the sidewalk looking for a night light
We talked about the real things
And drove into the fire
Headlights on the highway
The desert wind is howling
Rattlesnakes and romance
Is spilling with the rain
Candy apple red dress
Bleeding when she kissed me
Heaven in a ragtop
Take away my pain

When your chips are down
When your highs are low
Joyride
Move across the night
Like a seperate wind

Pulled up to a motel
"Vacancy" was buzzing
Pink and dirty neon
Settle on the hood
Wrapped her arms around me
Come a little closer
Stumble in the twilight
And fell onto the floor
Loving Mona Lisa
Dreaming of the free world
Lipstick on the nightstand
And demons at the door

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/joyride-lyrics-the-killers.html ]

When your chips are down
When your highs are low
Joyride
Move across the night
Like a seperate wind

When your hopes and dreams
Lose the will to go
Joyride
Reaching for the light
Knowing we can't win

There's something in the distance
A glorious existance
A simple celebration
A place you've never been before
(Won't you kiss me)
Tell me that you want it more

Reaching for the light
knowing we can't win

When your chips are down
When your chips are down
When your highs are low
Joyride

All your hopes and dreams
All you need to know
Joyride

I'm coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

And I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

Cause I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

У неё есть свой ореол и крылья,
Спрятанные от его глаз,
Но она - ангел, наверняка,
Просто она никак не может прекратить врать.

Но слишком поздно для его любви,
Уже пойманный в ловушку,
Поцелуй ангела был шуткой,
И она не возвращается обратно.

Потому что Бог дал, Бог взял,
Автомобильная авария стоит у него перед глазами,
Держит его привязанным к своей мечте,
И только она может освободить его.

И потом он говорит мне:
Убей меня теперь, убей меня теперь, убей меня теперь, убей меня теперь.
Убей меня теперь, убей меня теперь, убей меня теперь, убей меня теперь.

Да, она обладает мышлением преступника,
У него есть причина молиться,
Его жизнь находится под прицелом,
Он вынужден пытаться выжить каждый день.

Теперь он хочет просто проснуться,
Чтобы доказать это - только мечта
Потому что она - ангел, наверняка,
Но это ещё неизвестно.

Потому что Бог дал, Бог взял,
Автомобильная авария стоит у него перед глазами,
Держит его привязанным к своей мечте,
И только она может освободить его.

И потом он говорит мне:
Убей меня теперь, убей меня теперь, убей меня теперь, убей меня теперь.
Убей меня теперь, убей меня теперь, убей меня теперь, убей меня теперь.

Идиоты на улицах Лондона,
Джеймс Дин под дождём,
Без нее это не то же самое,
То же самое, то же самое, но зато всё в порядке.

Потому что Бог дал, Бог взял,
Автомобильная авария стоит у него перед глазами,
Держит его привязанным к своей мечте,
И только она может освободить его.

И потом он говорит мне:
Убей меня теперь, убей меня теперь, убей меня теперь, убей меня теперь.
Убей меня теперь, убей меня теперь, убей меня теперь, убей меня теперь.

Снова и снова...

Nobody ever had a dream ‘round here
But I don’t really mind that it’s starting to get to me
Nobody ever pulls the seams ‘round here
But I don’t really mind that it’s starting to get to me

I’ve got this energy beneath my feet
Like something underground’s gonna come up and carry me
I've got this sentimental heart that beats
But I don’t really mind that it’s starting to get to me

Now.."So why do you waste my time?"
Is the answer to the question on your mind
And I'm sick of all my judges
so scared of what they'll find
But I know that I can make it
As long as somebody takes me home,
every now and then...

Oh, have you ever seen the lights?
Have you ever seen the lights?

I took the shuttle on a shock-wave ride,
where the people on the pen pull trigger for accolades
I took a bullet, and I looked inside and
Running through my veins
An American masquerade

I still remember Grandma Dixie's wake,
I never really known anybody to die before...
Red white and blue upon a birthday cake,
my brother, he was born on the fourth of the July.
And that's all...

"So why do you waste my time?"
Is the answer to the question on your mind
And I'm sick of all my judges,
so scared of letting me shine
But I know that I can make it,
as long as somebody takes me home...

Wooooooo!

Every now and then
Every now and then...

You know, I see London, I see Sam's Town
Holds my hand and let's my hair down
Rolls that world right off my shoulder
I see London, I see Sam's Town
Now!...

Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking the drag

Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now

He takes off her dress now
Let me go
Сause I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullaby
Joking on your alibI
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
cause I'm Mr. Brightside

And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking the drag

Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now

He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullaby
Joking on your alibI
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
I'm Mr. Brightside

Я выхожу из своей клетки.
Там мне было хорошо.
Но я в расстроенных чувствах,
Потому что хочу сразу всего.
Всё началось с поцелуя.
Как же это могло так закончиться?
Это был просто поцелуй.
Это был просто поцелуй.

Теперь я засыпаю,
А она ловит такси.
Пока он курит,
Она делает затяжку.

Они собрались ложиться спать,
И меня тошнит,
Потому что я всё это представляю.
А тем временем она дотрагивается до его груди.

Он снимает с неё платье.
Отпусти меня,
Я не могу смотреть на это.
Это меня убивает,
Я подавлен.

Ревность
Превращает святых в море
С помощью тошнотворных колыбелей.
Ревность подшучивает над твоим алиби.
Но я должен заплатить эту цену.
Меня зовёт голос судьбы.
Открой мои жаждущие глаза.
Я Мистер Оптимизм.

Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
I'm breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential

Ready? Let's roll onto something new
Taking its toll and I'm leaving without you
I'm ready, let's roll onto something new

'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around

Pace yourself for me
I said maybe baby please
But I just don't know now
When all I wanna do is try

[x3]
Somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around

Console me in my darkest hour
Convince me that the truth is always grey
Caress me in your velvet chair
Conceal me from the ghost you cast away

I'm in no hurry, you go run
And tell your friends I'm losing touch
Fill their heads with rumours of impending doom
It must be true

Console me in my darkest hour
And tell me that you always hear my cries
I wonder what you got conspired
I'm sure it was the consolation prize

I'm in no hurry, you go run
And tell your friends I'm losing touch
Fill the night with stories, the legend grows

Of how you got lost
But you made your way back home
You sold your soul, like a Roman vagabond yeah

I heard you found a wishing well
In the city
Console me in my darkest hour (in my darkest hour)
And you throw me down

I'm in no hurry, you go run
And tell your friends I'm losing touch
Fill your crown with rumours
Impending doom, it must be true

But you made your way back home
You sold your soul, like a Roman vagabond

And all that now you got lost, but you made your way back home
You went and sold your soul, an allegiance dead and gone
I'm losing touch

Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking the drag

Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now

He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullaby
Joking on your alibI
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
I'm Mr. Brightside

A lovestruck Romeo, sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"

Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack"
He's underneath the window, she's singing
"Hey, la, my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here, singing up people like that
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"

Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet, that you exploded in my heart
And I forget, I forget.. the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean, yes and the dream was just the same
And I dream your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me, as if I was just another one of your deals?

Well, you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah
Now you just say, "Oh, Romeo, yeah, you know
I used to have a scene with him"

Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
I said, "I love you like the stars above, I love you 'till I die"
And there's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

I can't do the talk, like the talk on the TV
And I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything, but I'd do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat, and the bad company
And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time

Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
I said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'till I die"
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

A lovestruck Romeo, sings the streets of serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Find a convenient streetlight, and steps out of the shade
He says something like, "You and me, babe -how about it?"

Remember Rio and get down
Like some other DJ, in some other town
She's been trying to tell me to hold tight
But I've been waiting this whole night
But I've been down across a road or two
But now I've found the velvet sun
That shines on me and you

In the back, uh huh, I can't crack
We're on top
It's just a shimmy and a shake, uh huh
I can't fake, we're on top
We're on top

The day is breaking, we're still here
Your body's shaking, and it's clear
You really need it, so let go
And let me feed it, but you know

That I've been down across a road or two
But now I've found the velvet sun
That shines on me and you

In the back, uh huh, I can't crack
We're on top
It's just a shimmy and a shake, uh huh
I can't fake, we're on top
We're on top
We bring the bump to the grind, uh huh
I don't mind, we're on top
It's just a shimmy and a shake, uh huh
I can't fake, we're on top
We're on top

And we don't mean to satisfy tonight
So get your eyes off of my bride tonight
Cause I don't need to satisfy tonight

It's like a cigarette in the mouth
Or a handshake in the doorway
I look at you and smile because I'm fine

And we don't mean to satisfy tonight
So get your eyes off of my bride tonight
Cause I don't need to satisfy tonight

It's like a cigarette in the mouth
Or a handshake in the doorway
I look at you and smile because I'm fine

On the field I remember you were incredible
Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah
On the field I remember you were incredible
Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah
On the match with the boys, you think you're all alone
With the pain that you drain from love
In a car with a girl, promise me she's not your world
Cause Andy, you're a star

Leave your number on the locker and I'll give you a call
Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah
Leave your legacy in gold on the plaques that line the hall
Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah

On the streets, such a sweet face jumping in town
In the staff when the verdict is in
In a car with a girl, promise me she's not your world
Cause Andy, you're a star
In nobody's eyes but mine
Andy, you're a star
In nobody's eyes but mine
Andy, you're a star
In nobody's eyes
In nobody's eyes but mine

This is world that we live in
I feel myself get tired
This is the world that we live in

Well maybe I was mistaken
I heard a rumor that you quit this day and age
Well maybe I was mistaken

Bless your body, bless your soul
Pray for peace and self control

I gotta believe it’s worth it
Without a victory, I’m so sanctified and free
Well maybe I’m just mistaken
The Killers Lyrics on www.lyrics-celebrities.anekatips.com

Lesson learned and the wheels keep turning

This is the world that we live in
I can’t take blame for two
This is the world that we live in
And maybe we’ll make it through

Bless your body, bless your soul
Reel me in and cut my throat

Underneath the waterfall
Baby we’re still in this ..
Ooooh yeah

This is the world that we live in
I feel myself get tired
This is the world that we live in

I had a dream that I was falling (down)

There’s no next time alone
A storm wastes it’s water on me
But my life was free

I guess it’s the world that we live in
It’s not too late for that
This is the world that we live in
And no, we can’t go back

This is the world that we live in
I still want something real
This is the world that we live in
I know that we can yield over time

This is the world that we live in (2x)

Let me wrap myself around you
Let you show me how I see
And when you come back in from nowhere
Do you ever think of me?

Your heart is not able
Let me show you, how much I care

I need those eyes to tie me over
I'll take your picture when I go
It gives me strength and gives me patience
But I'll never let you know

I got nothing on you baby
But I always said I'll try
Let me show you
How much I care

Sometimes it gets hard
Don't you know?

[x3]
Don't give the ghost up
just clench your fist
You should known by now
You were on my list

Your heart is not able
Your prayers, they're not fables
Let me show you (let me show you)
Let me show you (let me show you)
Let me show you how much I care oh

Last time I said I was in control
I had 25 debts and we both know
When you come back now
You'll see my face
I said 25 debts and we both pray

While I move away
Hard times don't come until tomorrow
These eyes don't see
Take your skin off when you listen to me
Move away
Hard times don't come until tomorrow
These eyes in me
Take your skin off when you're talkin' to me
Me...

Oh what a world that we both come in
I said hold it to the rock and let it in
Oh what a world that we are in
I said hold it to the rock and we're both in

While I move away
Hard times don't come until tomorrow
These eyes don't see
Take your skin off when you listen to me
Move away
Hard times don't come until tomorrow
These eyes don't see
Take your skin off when you're listenin' to me

Don't worry bout what might have been
Just tell your woman that you're sorry
And you jumped out of your skin
Listen closely to your motto
Don't worry bout what might have been
Tell the jury that you're sorry
And just jump out of your skin
I wanna jump out of my skin
I wanna jump out of my skin
And watch the clouds

Move away
I'm never gonna live it down
Move away
Move away
Move move move move away
Move away

Move away
Hard times don't come until tomorrow
These eyes don't see
Take your skin off when you listen to me
Move away
Hard times don't come until tomorrow
Move away
Move away
Move away
Move away

Leaves are falling down
On the beautiful ground
I heard a story from the man in red
He said the leaves are falling down
Such a beautiful sound so I think you
Son, I think you better go ahead

But you always hold your head up high
Cause it's a long, long, long way down
This town was meant for passing through
But it ain't nothing new
Now go and show them
That the world stayed round
But it's a long, long, long way down

You better run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
And watch it turn
I just want to show you what I know
And catch you when the current lets you go
Or should I just get along with myself

I never did get along with everybody else
I've been trying hard to do what's right
But you know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky

This river is wild
This river is wild

Run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
Watch it turn
But shake a little
Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk
I shake a little
Sometimes i hate the line I walk
I just want to show you what I know
And catch you when the current lets you go

Or should I just get along with myself
I never did get along with everybody else
Ive been trying hard to do whats right
But you know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall
From the sky

Because this river is wild
God speed you boy
This river is wild

Now Adam's taking bombs
And he's stuck on his mom
Because that bitch
Keeps trying to make him pray

He's with the hippie in the park
Coming over the dark
Just trying to get some of that little girl play

You better run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
But watch it turn
I just want to show you what I know
And catch you when the current lets you go

Or should I get along with myself
I never did get along with everybody else
I've been trying hard to do whats right
But you know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky

And pay this hell in me tonight
Because this river is wild
God speed you boy
This river is wild
God speed you boy
This river is wild

Now the car's are everywhere raising dust
at the fairground
I don't think I ever seen so many headlights
But there's something pulling me
The circus and the crew
Well they're just passing through
Making sure that merry still goes round
But it's a long, long, long way down

Листья падают
На прекрасную землю...
Я услышал историю от мужчины в красном
Он сказал, что листья опадают
С таким прекрасным звуком, что я думаю,
Сын, ты пойдешь первым

Но ты никогда не прогибался,
Потому что это долгий путь вниз...
Этот город - всего лишь этап моей жизни,
Там нет ничего нового.
Пойди и докажи им,
Что земля круглая,
Но это долгий путь вниз...

Заберись на холм, пока он не сгорел,
Прислушайся к звукам окружающего мира,
Посмотри, как он вращается...
Я просто хочу показать тебе, что знаю,
И подхватить тебя, когда течение тебя отпустит...
Или я просто должен смириться?

Я никогда ни с кем не ладил,
Я очень старался всё делать правильно,
Но ты знаешь, я не могу остаться здесь на ночь
И смотреть, как обрушатся небеса...

Эта река - дикая...
Эта река - дикая...

Заберись на холм, пока он не сгорел,
Прислушайся к звукам окружающего мира,
Посмотри, как он вращается,
Порой небольшими рывками...
Иногда я злюсь, когда разговариваю,
Я немного дрожу...
Иногда я ненавижу свою судьбу,
Я просто хочу показать тебе, что знаю,
И подхватить тебя, когда течение тебя отпустит...

Или я просто должен смириться?
Я никогда ни с кем не ладил,
Но очень старался всё делать правильно.
Знаешь, я не могу остаться здесь на ночь
И смотреть, как обрушатся
Небеса...

Help me out, I need it
I don't feel like loving you no more
I don't feel like loving you no more

Help me out, I need it
I don't feel like touching her no more
Help me out, I need it
I don't feel like fucking* her no more
Well how did it happen
I spent two long years in a strange strange land
Well how did it happen
I'd do anything just to be your man

Chorus:
You're not going anywhere without me
These trials don't prepare the air of love
You're not telling anyone about me
And you shake and you plead while I sing my song

I don't feel like, I don't feel like
I don't feel like loving you
I don't feel like, I don't feel like
I don't feel like loving you

All the different places
Ringing out like a shotgun in my head
All the pretty faces
Ringing out well I just can't go to bed
Well how did it happen
I spent two long years in a strange strange land
Well how did it happen
I'd do anything just to be your man
I'd do anything just to be your man

Chorus:
You're not going anywhere without me
These trials don't prepare the air of love
You're not telling anyone about me
And you shake while you go and you bleed oh oh

I don't feel like touching you
I don't feel like touching you
I don't feel like touching you
I don't feel like touching you
You can't tell anyone about me

Chorus:
You're not going anywhere without me
Help me out I need it
You can't tell anyone about me
Help me out I need it

I don't feel like, I don't feel like
I don't feel like loving you
I don't feel like, I don't feel like
I don't feel like loving you

Step out into the Indian dust
I can feel the cracks in my spirit
They’re starting to bust

Drive by your house, nobody’s home
I’m trying to tell myself I’m better off alone

All my friends say I should move on
She’s just another girl, don’t let her stick it to your mind so hard
And all my friends say it wasn’t meant to be
and it’s a great big world, she’s just another girl

I went to see a fortuneteller, that was a trip
Maybe it’s confusion’s got me losing my grip
I can’t believe you’re out there flying with someone else

Now Jason’s getting married in the blink of an eye
I got invitation but I didn’t reply
Tell your little brother that we put down the gloves
and give him all my love

All my friends say I should move on
She’s just another girl, don’t let her stick it to your mind so hard
And all my friends say it wasn’t meant to be
and it’s a great big world, she’s just another girl

I could be reeling them in left and right
some hings got a hold on me, tonight
Well maybe all my friends should confront
The fact that I don’t want another girl

All my friends say I should move on
All my friends say
All my friends say
All my friends say
She’s just another girl

Now why can’t I sleep at night
and we don’t the moon look right
it sailed of but the TV’s on
and it’s a great big world

She’s just another girl,
don’t let her stick it to your heart so hard
She’s just another girl
all my friends say she’s just another girl
Another girl

Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking the drag

Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now

He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullaby
Joking on your alibI
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
I'm Mr. Brightside

Believe me, Natalie
Listen Natalie
This is your last chance to find
A go-go dance to disco now
Please believe me, Natalie
Listen Natalie
This is your last chance to find
A go-go dance to disco now

Forget what they said in Soho
Leave the oh-no's out
And believe me, Natalie
Listen Natalie
This is your last chance

There is an old cliche
Under your Monet, baby
Remember the arch of roses
Right above your couch
Forget what they said in Soho
Leave the oh-no's out
Yes, there is an old cliche
Under your Monet, baby

You left the station now to the floor
With speculation, what was it for?
In that old hallway
Moses, why don't you say
You've been away for a long time

Believe me, Natalie
This is your last chance
To find a go-go
Forget what they said in Soho
And walk away
If my dreams for us can't get you through
Just one more day
It's alright by me

God help me somehow
There's no time for survival left
The time is now...
Cause this might be your last chance
To disco, oh-oh

[Joy Division cover]

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you
Moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you
In a room with a window in the corner I found truth

In the shadowplay acting out your own death, knowing no more
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor
And with cold steel, odour on their bodies made a move to connect
I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left

I did everything, everything I wanted to
I let them use you for their own ends
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you

When everybody else refrained
My uncle Johnny did cocaine
He's convinced himself right in his brain
That it helps to take away the pain
Hey, Johnny
Hey what you say Johnny

I wanna go out tonight
Come a little closer to the city lights
Levitation aint your only friend
Levitation coming back again
Feel a burning in your body's core
It's a yearning that you cant ignore
Now I wanna go out tonight

S-s-superman and hold on tight
He's convinced himself right in his brain
That it helps to take away the pain
Hey, Johnny
Hey what you say Johnny

My appetite aint got no heart
I said my appetite aint got no heart
Shocking people when you feel that pull
Shock 'em, drop 'em when you know its full

I feel a burning in your body's core
It's a yearning that you cant ignore
I gotta go out tonight
[spoken] Hey Johnny I got faith in you man
I mean it, it's gonna be all right
He's convinced himself right in his brain
That it helps to take away the pain
Hey what you say Johnny

Tell us what's going on
Feel's like everything's wrong
Hey what you say Johnny
If the future is real
Johnny, you've got to heal
Hey what you say Johnny

When everybody else refrained
My uncle Johnny did cocaine

I'm coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag

Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head

But she’s touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go

And I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis

But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis

But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

No more trouble
In this town
Silent night, for a change

Brand new year
Coming up ahead
You know it’s been so long
Since I rang one in?

I close my eyes
Think about the path I took
Just when I think these times
Have gotten the best of me

I can see my mother in the kitchen
My father on the floor
Watching television
It's a wonderful life

Cinnamon candles burning
Snowball fights outside
Smile below each nose and above each chin

Stomp my boots before I go back in

I wasted my wishes
On Saturday nights
Boy what I would give
For just one more

I soften my heart
Shocked the world
Do you hear my voice?
Do you know my name?

Light my way
Lift my head
Light my way

I can see my mother in the kitchen
My father on the floor
Watching television
It's a wonderful life

Cinnamon candles burning
Snowball fights outside
Smile below each nose and above each chin

Family all together
Presents piled high
Frost on all the windows
What a wonderful night

Cinnamon candles burning
Snowball fights outside
Smile below each nose and above each chin

So happy they found me
Love was all around me
Stomp my boots before I go back in

Who let you go? Who let you go?
Who let you go? Who let you go?
Who let you go? Who let you go?
Who let you go? Who let you go?
I feel it inside, down in my soul
And I just can't hide things that I know

We could be friends
And I promise that it won't get bad
But hopefully that story ends
But you ain't got nothing I never had
So let's take it slow

Who let you go? Who let you go?
Who let you go? Who let you go?

Someone must have loved you
Not the way that I do...
You're missing what I'm trying to say
Ain't nothing getting in my way

So tell me that's fantastic
And promise me, you'll always sigh
I find it so romantic
When you look into my beautiful eyes
And lose control

Who let you go? Who let you go?
Who let you go? Who let you go?
Who let you go? Who let you go?
Who let you go? Who let you go?

I don't know what it means
But I've been wondering
Who let you go?

And honey, when you walk my way
It makes me wanna say...
Ohhh

Sha-la-la-lo, sha-la-la-lo
Sha-la-la-lo, sha-la-la-lo

Woke up, the sun streaming in my room
Warm beach from palm December afternoon
You close your eyes, another year blows by
Somewhere in the wind, just another life

My parents sent a Christmas card and then it’s true
We understand you’re staying and we’re proud of you
There’s a well-rehearsed disinterest in the atmosphere
I don’t know if that’s what this time gave me or if it lead me here

And I played so many parts
I don’t know which one’s really me
Don’t know if I can take

Another Christmas in L.A.
Another pitcher of Sangria
In an empty beach café
Another Christmas in L.A.
Hold me tighter Carmelita
I don’t know how long I can stay

Left a girl behind in my old man’s truck
Sometimes I wonder where she ended up
Maybe she got married, had a couple of kids
Who do you think you’re fooling man?
Of course she did

I’m walking in that tennis bar
Try and talk with Harry Bean
I don’t know if I can take

Another Christmas in L.A.
Another casting call on Thursday
For a job that doesn’t pay
Another Christmas in L.A.
Another burnout in a tank top
It seems your basket is the case
A fat protagonist in flip flops
With an extensive resume
From Echo Park to Catalina

Dreaming of a white Christmas
The one I used to know
Tree tops glisten, children listen
To sleigh bells in the snow

Another Christmas in L.A.

Nobody ever had a dream round here
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me
Nobody ever pulls the seams round here
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me

I've got this energy beneath my feet
Like something underground's gonna come up and carry me
I've got this sentimental heart that beats
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me now

Why do you waste my time?
Is the answer to the question on your mind
And I'm sick of all my judges
So scared of what they'll find
But I know that I can make it
As long as somebody takes me home every now and then

Well have you ever seen the lights?
Have you ever seen the lights?

I took a shuttle on a shockwave ride
Where people on the pen pull the trigger for accolades
I took a bullet and I looked inside
Running through my veins an American masquerade

I still remember grandma Dixie's wake
I've never really known anybody to die before
Red, white and blue upon a birthday cake
My brother, he was born on the fourth of the July and that's all

Why do you waste my time?
Is the answer to the question on your mind
And I'm sick of all my judges
They're so scared of letting me shine
But I know that I can make it
As long as somebody takes me home

Every now and then
Every now and then

You know I see London, I see Sam's Town
Holds my hand and lets my hair down
Rolls that world right off my shoulder
I see London, I see Sam's Town now

Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking the drag

Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now

He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullaby
Joking on your alibI
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
I'm Mr. Brightside

Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
I'm breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential

Ready? Let's roll onto something new
Taking its toll and I'm leaving without you
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around

Pace yourself for me
I said maybe baby please
But I just don't know now
When all I wanna do is try

[x3]
Somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around

We hope you enjoy your stay
It's good to have you with us
Even if it's just for the day

We hope you enjoy your stay
Outside the sun is shining
It seems like heaven ain't far away

It's good to have you with us
Even if it's just for the day

Aggressively
We all defend the role we play
Regrettably
Times come to send you on your way

We've seen it all
Bonfires of trust
Flashfloods of pain

It doesn't really matter
Don't you worry, it'll all work out
No, it doesn't even matter
Don't you worry, that ain't what it's all about

We hope you enjoyed your stay
It's good to have you with us
Even if it's just for the day
We hope you enjoyed your stay
Outside the sun is shining
It seems like heaven ain't far away
It's good to have you with us
Even if it's just for the day

It's good to have you with us
Even if it's just for the day
Outside the sun is shining
Seems like heaven ain't far away

It's good to have you with us
Even if it's just for the day
Outside the sun is shining
Seems like heaven ain't far away
Seems like heaven ain't far away...

I believe in you and me
I'm coming to find you
If it takes me all night
Wrong until you make it right
And I won't forget you
At least I'll try
And run, and run tonight
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright

I wasn't shopping for a doll
To say the least, I thought I've seen them all
But then you took me by surprise
I'm dreaming bout those dreamy eyes
I never knew, I never knew
So take your suitcase, cause I don't mind
And baby doll, I meant it every time
You don't need to compromise
I'm dreaming bout those dreamy eyes
I never knew, I never knew
But it's alright...

Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright

Glamorous
Indie rock'n'roll is what I want
It's in my soul, it's what I need
Indie rock'n'roll, it's time
Two of us
Flipping through a thrift store magazine
She plays the drums, I'm on tambourine
Bet your, your bottom dollar on me

It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
It's all I need
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me

In a clutch
I'm talking every word for all the boys
Electric girls with worn down toys
Make it up, break it up, what do you care
Oh what do you care?

I take my twist with a shout
A coffee shop with a cause, then I'll freak you out
No sex, no drugs, no life, no love
When it comes to today

Stay if you wanna love me, stay
Oh don't be shy, let's cause a scene
Like lovers do on silver screens
Let's make it yeah, we'll cause a scene

It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
It's all I need
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me

In a clutch
I'm talking every word for all the boys
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
It's all I need
Makin' up, breakin' up, what do you care
What do you care?
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me

Two of us
Flipping through a thrift store magazine
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
It's all I need
Makin' up, breakin' up, what do you care
What do you care?
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me

Far from the evergreen of old Assam
Far from the rainfall on the trails of old Saigon
Straight from the poster town of scorn and ritz
To bring you the wilder side of gold and glitz

Run, neon tiger, there's a lot on your mind
They promised just to pet you, but don't you let 'em get you
Away, away, oh, run
Under the heat of the southwest sun

You took to the spotlight like a diamond ring
And came from the woodwork in the hopes they might
Redeem themselves for poor decisions, to win big

Run, neon tiger, there's a lot on your mind
They'll strategize and name you,
But don't you let 'em tame you
You're far too pure and bold
To suffer the strain of the hangman's hold.

I don't wanna be kept, I don't wanna be caged,
I don't wanna be damned, oh, hell
I don't wanna be broke, I don't wanna be saved,
I don't wanna be S.O.L

Give me rolling hills, so tonight could be the night That I stand among a thousand thrills
Mister cut me some slack,
'Cause I don't wanna go back,
I want a new day and age

Come on girls and boys,
everyone make some noise!

Run, neon tiger, there's a price on your head
They'll hunt you down and gut you,
I'll never let them touch you
Away, away, oh, run

I'm begging you, neon tiger, run

Under the heat of
Under the heat of
Under the heat of the southwest sun

Neon tiger
There's a lot on your mind

The sanest days are mad, why don't you find out for yourself?
Then you'll see the price very closely
Some men here, they have a special interest in your career
They wanna help you to grow
And then siphon all your dough, why don't you find out for yourself?
Then you'll see the glass hidden in the grass
You'll never believe me so, why don't you find out for yourself?
Sick down to my heart, well that's just the way it goes

Some men here, they know the full extent of your distress
They kneel and pray and they say: "Long may it last"
Why don't you find out for yourself?
Then you'll see the glass hidden in the grass
Bad scenes come and go for which you must allow
Sick down to my heart that's just the way it goes

Don't rake up my mistakes, I know exactly what they are
And what do you do? Well, you just sit there
I've been stabbed in the back so many, many times
I don't have any skin but that's just the way it goes

ПЕРЕВОД

Разумные дни безумны, почему бы тебе не узнать все для себя?
Тогда ты будешь видеть цены очень близко для себя...
Какие-то люди здесь, у них особый интерес в твоей карьере,
Они хотят помочь тебе в росте.
И тогда деньги будут тебе сифоном, узнай все для себя...
Тогда ведь ты увидишь, что стекла скрыты в траве.
Ты мне так и не веришь, почему бы вам не узнать все для себя?
Мое сердце болит, а это именно так, как есть.

Какие-то люди здесь, они знают в полной мере твое горе,
Они на коленях молятся, говоря: "Может, это последний..."
Почему бы тебе не узнать все для себя?
Ведь тогда ты увидишь, что стекла скрыты в траве.
Плохие сцены приходят и идут у тех, кому ты должен позволить.
Мое сердце болит, а это именно так, как есть.

Не вороши мои ошибки, я точно знаю, какие они.
А что же делать? Ну, ты посиди...
Я был ранен ножом в спину так много-много раз,
У меня нет кожи, но это именно так, как есть.

boy i’ve been on the ladder
where the trick waters flow
where the cattle are a grazing
and the spanish ponies grow
where the northerns come on whistling
from behind the neutral strip
and the prairie dogs are sneezing
as if they had “the grip”
but the coyotes come a howling
“round the ranches after dark
and the mocking-birds are singin’
to the lovely “medder lark”
where the big hoards are grazing
and the lonely lovers talk
it was there that i intended
the cowboys’ christmas spot

the boys have left the ranches
and come to town in piles
the ladies—”kinder scatterin’”
had gathered in for miles
the room was togged out gorgeous
with mistletoe and shawls
and candles flickered frescoes,
around the airy walls
the “wimmin folks” looked lovely
the boys looked kinder treed
till the leader got to yelling
hey fellows lets stampede
and the music started sighin’,
an’ awailin’ through the hall
as a kind of introduction
to the cowboy’s christmas ball

their leader was a fellow
that came from swenson’s ranch
they called him windy billy
from little dead man’s ranch
his rig was “kinder keerless,”
he had the reputation
that comes when “fellers shoots”
his voice was like a bugle
upon the mountain’s height
his feet were animated
in a mighty movin’ sight
when he commenced to holler,
neow, fellers stake your pen!
lock horns ter all them heifers,
and wrestle ‘em like men
saloot yer lovely critters;
now swing and let ‘em go
climb the grape vine
’round ‘em—all hands do-ce-do!
you mavericks, jine the round-up
jest skip her waterfall
hit was gettin’ happy,
the cowboys’ christmas ball!

don’t tell me ’bout cotillions,
or germans. no sire ‘ee!
that whirl at anson city
just takes the cake with me.
i’m sick of lazy shufflin’s,
of them i’ve had my fill
give me a frontier break-down,
backed up by windy bill

where gals aren’t no where
where the windy leafs are shown
i’ve seen all the hardness
and so i saw them all
oh, bill, i sha’n't forget yer,
and i’ll oftentimes recall,
that lively gaited sworray
the cowboys’ christmas ball.
oh, bill, i sha’n't forget yer,
and i’ll oftentimes recall,
that lively gaited sworray
the cowboys’ christmas ball

When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on

I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand

Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no

Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the backburner
You know you got to help me out, yeah

And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
These changes ain't changing me
The cold-hearted boy I used to be

Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the backburner
You know you got to help me out
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier

Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the backburner
You know you got to help me out
You're gonna bring yourself down
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the backburner
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

Over and out, last call for sin
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
All these things that I've done

If you can hold on
If you can hold on

Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking the drag

Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now

He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullaby
Joking on your alibI
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
I'm Mr. Brightside

Save some face
You know you've only got one
Change your ways
While you're young
Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh girl, he'll help you understand

Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

Looking back
at sun sets on the east side
We lost track
Of the time

Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things slide by so carelessly

Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

And Someone is calling my name
From the back of the restaurant
And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in
And someone will drive her around
Down the same streets that I did
On the same streets that I did

Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

oh no, oh no, no no
oh no, oh no, no no

When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
How do you know that you're right?

I awoke on the roadside,
In the land of the free ride,
And I can't pull it any longer,
The sun is beating down my neck

So I ran with the devil
Left a trail of excuses,
Like a stone on the water,
The elements decide my fate,
Watch it go..."bling".

When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
Don't tell me that it's over,
Stand up
Poor and tired,
But more than this

How do you know that you're right?
If you're not nervous anymore,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad

I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus,
But I'm pushing on for that horizon,
I'm pushing on,
Now I've got the blowing wind against my face

So you sling rocks at the rip tide,
Am I wrong or am I right?
I hit the bottom with a "huh!"
?? Quite strange,
I get my glory in the desert rain,
Watch it go..."bling".

When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
And I'll tell you when it's over,
Stand up
Shut up poor and tired,
But more than this

How do you know that you're right?
If you're not nervous anymore,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad...

Higher and higher,
We're gonna take it,
Down to the wire,
We're gonna make it,
Out of the fire,
Higher and higher. [x2]

Higher and higher,
We're gonna take it,
Down to the wire,
We're gonna make it out,
Whoa-oh-oh Higher and higher...

It ain't hard to hold,
When it shines like gold,
You'll remember me.

Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart...
Cut the cord

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance,
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye
Wish me well..
You've got to let me go

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answers
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answers

You got to let me know

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answers
Are we human
Or are we dancer?

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Are we human
Or are we dancer?

You were standing with your girlfriends in the street
Falling back on forever
I wonder what you came to be
I was new in town, the boy with the eager eyes
I never was a quitter
Oblivious to school girls' lies
And when I look back on those neon nights
The leather seat, the passage rite
I feel the heat, I see the light...

Miss Atomic Bomb, making out we got the radio on
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Racing shadows in the moonlight
Through the desert on a hot night
And for a second there we'd won
Yeah we were innocent and young

Cast out of the night, you got a foolish heart
So you took your place but the fall from grace was the hardest part
Feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back
You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack
Your soul was innocent, you kissed him and she painted it black
You should've seen your little face, burning for love
Holding on for your life
All I wanted was a little touch, a little tenderness and truth
I didn't ask for much, no
Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time...

Miss Atomic Bomb
Making out we got the radio on
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Racing shadows in the moonlight
Taking chances on a hot night
And for a second there we'd won
Yeah we were innocent and young

The dust cloud is settled, and my eyes are clear
But sometimes in dreams of impact I still hear...

Miss Atomic Bomb
I'm standing here, sweat on my skin
And this love that I've cradled is wearing thin
But I'm standing here, and you're too late
Your shockwave whispered and sealed your fate

It's a proving ground
And you took a chance
On a loser's game
But you can't survive
When you want it all
There's another side

Ты стояла с подругами на улице,
Думая, что так будет вечность.
А я спрашивал себя, какой ты станешь?
Я только приехал в город, парень с жаждущими глазами. (1)
Я никогда не был сачком,
Который не замечает девичью ложь.
Когда я оглядываюсь на те неоновые ночи,
Кожаное сидение, новый жизненный этап,
Я чувствую тепло, я вижу свет...

Мисс Атомная бомба, занимаясь любовью, мы включаем радио.
Ты будешь скучать, когда я уйду,
Ты будешь скучать, когда я уйду,
Гоняясь за тенями в лунном свете
Жаркой ночью в пустыне.
Тогда, на мгновение, мы победили,
Да, мы были молоды и невинны.

Вали из этой ночи, у тебя глупое сердце.
Ты заняла свое место, но грешить было сложнее всего,
Это было, как клинок, вонзившийся в спину.
Ты искала укрытия, но не могла сбежать от второй волны.
Твоя душа была невинна, ты поцеловала его и всё помрачнело.
Ты бы видела свое личико, оно пылало от любви.
Цепляясь за твою жизнь,
Все, чего я хотел – всего лишь коснуться тебя, немного нежности и правды,
Я многого не просил, нет,
Это просто было не то место и не то время...

Мисс Атомная бомба,
Занимаясь любовью, мы включаем радио.
Ты будешь скучать, когда я уйду,
Ты будешь скучать, когда я уйду,
Гоняться за тенями в лунном свете
Жаркой ночью в пустыне.
Тогда, на мгновение, мы победили,
Да, мы были молоды и невинны.

Облако пыли улеглось, и теперь я вижу ясно,
Но иногда в красочных снах я всё ещё слышу...

Мисс Атомная бомба,
Я стою тут, я вспотел,
И любовь, которую я бережно хранил, уходит.
Но я стою тут, а ты спохватилась слишком поздно.
Твоя ударная волна прошелестела, предрешив твою судьбу.

Это испытательный полигон,
И ты рискнула поучаствовать
В этой игре неудачников.
Но ты не сможешь выжить,
Когда ты хочешь всего и сразу.
Есть и другая сторона.

I'm coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

And I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

Cause I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

I'll tell you what you wanna know,
But boy you better listen close.
People gonna tell you lies,
Don't let it come as a surprise.

That woman's on my back again,
I know she's got the best intentions.
When you begin to realize,
You know you got your daddy's eyes.

And there's something that I want to say,
I love her, too.
And all of this has got nothing to do with you.

And I'd like to stay but I can't because
I've been fooling around and I know
That you called because you never even knew
That it was hurting me.

When you put it on the other hand,
When you're old enough to understand.
That glove will bring it all to life,
I didn't say that made it right.

Because that woman's on my back again,
I know she's got the best intentions.
When you begin to realize,
You know you got your daddy's eyes.

[Repeat Chorus]

And sometimes people get tired,
And I woke up a little too late to lie.

Dreams should last a long time,
This is not what I'd call goodbye.

[Chorus x2]

I love her, too.

I'm coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

And I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

Cause I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair,
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down,
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.

It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war,
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore,
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be,
Oh Ruby, I still need some company.

It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed,
And the wants and needs of a woman your age really I realize,
But it won't be long, I've heard them say, until I'm not around,
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.

She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door,
The way I know I heard its slams one hundred times before,
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground,
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.

Oh Ruby, for God's sake, turn around

It's Indie rock'n'roll for me

I'm talking every word for all the boys
Electric girls with worn down toys
Makin' up, breakin' up, what do you care
Oh what do you care?

I take my twist with a shout
A coffee shop with a cause, man i'll freak you out
No sex, no drugs, no life, no love
When it comes to today

Stay if you wanna love me, stay
Oh don't be shy, let's cause a scene
Like lovers do on silver screens
Let's make it yeah, we'll cause a scene

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young

Can we climb this mountain
I don't know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now
Watch it go

We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane
That started turning
When you were young
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young

They say the devil's water
It ain't so sweet
You don't have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young
(talks like a gentleman)
(like you imagined)
When you were young

I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

Take me to the place where the white boys dance.
Take me to the place where they run and play.
My baby is gone, you might have a chance.
Just take me to the place where the white boys dance.

They hug in silence,
As the sun sets.
On their empty street,
Their suspicions where they rise and hide.
And then who sweeps them off she doesn't leave.
She walks inside him,
pours a strong one.
Put her mind at ease.
It's the calm before another storm.
And the friendship’s from the whiskey to the keys.

Take me to the place where the white boys dance.
Take me to the place where they run and play.
My baby is gone, you might have a chance.
Just take me to the place where the white boys... dance.

Her heart is racing.
She phones a friend to say:
I'm in an awful place.
That fool’s been messin' round on me
I've seen it in his eyes and on his face
Hold on a minute.
You're talking crazy.
Don't be that jealous girl.
Just telephone you need an hour or two.
Cause we're gonna go and change somebodies word.

Take me to the place where the white boys dance.
Take me to the place where they run and play.
My baby is gone, you might have a chance.
Just take me to the place where the white boys dance.

It's the calm before another storm...
It's the calm before another storm
And the friendship’s from the whiskey to the keys.

Take me to the place where the white boys dance.
Take me to the place where they run and play.
My baby is gone, you might have a chance.
Just take me to the place where the white boys... dance.

Lift me up on my honor
Take me over this spell
Get this weight off my shoulder
I've carried it well
Loose these shackles of pressure
Shake me out of these chains
Lead me not to temptation
Hold my hand harder
Ease my mind
Roll down the smokescreen
And open the sky

Let me fly
Man I need a release from this troublesome mind
Fix my feet when they're stumbling
And where you know it hurts sometimes
You know it's gonna bleed sometimes

Dig me out from this for thorn tree
Help me bury my shame
Keep my eyes from the fire
They can't handle the flame
Grace cut out from my brothers
When most of them fell
I carried it well

Let me fly
Man I need a release from this troublesome mind
Fix my feet when they're stumbling
I guess you know it hurts sometimes
You know it's gonna bleed sometimes

Now hold on
I'm not looking for sweet talk
I'm looking for time
Top a tower and sleepwalk
Brother cause it hurts sometimes
You know its gonna bleed sometimes
Hold on

You know it's gonna hurt sometimes
When you call me
Hold on...
Hold on...
Hold on...

I’m gonna climb that symphony home and make it mine
Let his resonance light my way
See, all these pessimistic sufferers tend to drag me down
So I could use it to shelter what good I’ve found

I never knew how complete love could be
Till she kissed me and said
Baby, please, go all the way
It feels so right
Being with you here tonight
Please, go all the way
Just hold me close
Don't ever let me go

I couldn't say what I wanted to say
Till she whispered, I love you
So, please, go all the way
It feels so right
Being with you here tonight
Please, go all the way
Just hold me close
Don't ever let me go

[Instrumental Interlude]

Before her love
I was cruel and mean
I had a hole in the place
Where my heart should have been
But now I've changed
And it feels so strange
I come alive when she does
All those things to me
And she says

(Come on), come on
(Come on)
(Come on), come on
(Come on)
I need you (come on)
I love you (come on)
I need you (come on)
(Come on)

Please, go all the way
It feels so right
Being with you here tonight
Please, go all the way
Just hold me close
Don't ever let me go, oh, no

oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah x4
It started with a low light
Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed
And then they took my blood type
It left a strange impression in my head
You know that I was hoping
That I could leave this star-crossed world behind
But when they cut me open
I guess that changed my mind

And you know I might
Have just flown too far from the floor this time
'cause they're calling me by my name
And the zipping white light beams
disregards the bombs and satellites

That was the turning point
That was one lonely night

The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down
It's all in your mind"

Well now I'm back at home, and
I'm looking forward to this life I live
You know it's gonna haunt me
So hesitation to this life I give
You think you might cross over
You're caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
You better look it over
Before you make that leap

And you know I'm fine,
but I hear those voices at night sometimes
they justify my claim
and the public don't dwell my transmission
'cause it wasn't televised

But, it was the turning point
Oh what a lonely night

The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad;
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down
It's all in your mind"

The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad;
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down
It's all in your mind"

My global position systems are vocally addressed
They say the Nile used to run from East to West
They say the Nile used to run from East to West

And you know I'm fine
But I hear those voices at night sometimes

The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down
It's all in your mind"

The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down
It's all in your mind"

It's all in my mind (x5)
oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah x4

We used to tear it down
But now we just exist.
The things that I did wrong,
I bet you got a list.
Now I know how you remember
And those moments that you choose
Will define me as a traitor
Stealing everything you lose.

Forget about what I said
The lights are gone and the party's over.
Forget about what I said
Forget about what I said, I'm older now and I know you hear me.
Forget about what I said

Stay up late tonight
And turn off your phone.
Well you were selfish too
But you were never all alone.
In those ugly pink apartments with the hustlers and the kids
Mapping out some retribution
Do we have to go through this?

Forget about what I said
The lights are gone and the party's over.
Forget about what I said
Forget about what I said, I'm older now and I know you hear me.
Forget about what I said

All of the stars are wandering round tonight
We used to try them on (sometimes I hear you)
And sometimes I hear you
The galaxy sings your song
And tonight I sing along

Forget about what I said
The lights are gone and the party's over.
Forget about what I said
Forget about what I said, I'm older now and I know you hear me.
Forget about what I said
Forget about what I said

Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
I'm breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential

Ready? Let's roll onto something new
Taking its toll and I'm leaving without you
Ready? Let's roll onto something new
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss

Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around

Pace yourself from me
I said maybe baby please
But I just don't know now

Somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around

Shakin' like the Devil when she lets me go
Got a new place, and how it's so much better
Falling over myself, the televisions' on,
I turn it off and smile
Oh, Jennifer, you know I always tried
Before you say goodbye

Leave the bourbon on the shelf
And I'll drink it by myself
And I love you endlessly,
Darling don't you see I'm not satisfied
Until I hold you tight
Give me one more chance tonight
And I swear I'll make it right
But you ain't got time for this
And that wreckin' bell is ringin'
And I'm not satisfied
Until I hold you

Jennifer, tell me where I stand
And who's that boy holdin' your hand?
Oh, Jennifer, you know I always tried
Before you say goodbye

Leave the bourbon on the shelf
And I'll drink it by myself
And I never liked your hair or those people that you lie with
But I'm not satisfied
Until I hold you tight
And I love you endlessly,
Darling don't you see I can't be satisfied
Until I hold you tight

Leave the bourbon on the shelf
And I'll drink it by myself
And I love you endlessly,
Darling don't you see
I'm not satisfied

Ha
I gotta tell ya
I'll make it better
But I know there's something I needed to say
When I was out no
Maybe you were better alone
I know I'll make it home
She told me sweet thing
Run a labour
In your shoes
Touch me 'til I follow in love
I wanna help her
Maybe we were better alone
I wanna show you how
And then we walked out
make it made now
I said I want it but I never alone
I wanna show you
Maybe we were something un-cool
I wanna make you sing
Oh hoooohoooo
Oh oh hohooooo
Oh hoooo hooooo

Я хочу сказать тебе кое-что
Я буду делать это лучше
Но есть ещё кое-что, что я хочу тебе сказать
Когда меня не было рядом
Может тебе было лучше одной?
Я знаю, я займусь любовью дома
Она сказала мне кое-что приятное
Пойду на роботу
В твоих туфлях
Прикасайся ко мне, пока я не почувствую любовь
Я хочу помочь ей
Может нам, было лучше быть одинокими
Я хочу показать тебе как
И потом мы сделаем это вместе
Давай займёмся этим сейчас
Я сказал, что хочу этого, но я никогда не делал это сам
Я хочу показать тебе
Возможно, мы делали всё неправильно
Я хочу заставить тебя петь
О! хо хо хо
О! хо хо хо

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be damned
Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag

Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head

But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go

I just can't look it's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis

But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
Cause I'm Mr. Brightside

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag

Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head

But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go

Cause I just can't look it's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis

But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
Cause I'm Mr. Brightside

I never
I never
I never
I never!

It's getting close to sundown over the Sierra
Stranded on the heatwave burning with desire
She was on the sidewalk looking for a night light
We talked about the real things
And drove into the fire
Headlights on the highway
The desert wind is howling
Rattlesnakes and romance
Is spilling with the rain
Candy apple red dress
Bleeding when she kissed me
Heaven in a ragtop
Take away my pain

When your chips are down
When your highs are low
Joyride
Move across the night
Like a seperate wind

Pulled up to a motel
"Vacancy" was buzzing
Pink and dirty neon
Settle on the hood
Wrapped her arms around me
Come a little closer
Stumble in the twilight
And fell onto the floor
Loving Mona Lisa
Dreaming of the free world
Lipstick on the nightstand
And demons at the door

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/joyride-lyrics-the-killers.html ]

When your chips are down
When your highs are low
Joyride
Move across the night
Like a seperate wind

When your hopes and dreams
Lose the will to go
Joyride
Reaching for the light
Knowing we can't win

There's something in the distance
A glorious existance
A simple celebration
A place you've never been before
(Won't you kiss me)
Tell me that you want it more

Reaching for the light
knowing we can't win

When your chips are down
When your chips are down
When your highs are low
Joyride

All your hopes and dreams
All you need to know
Joyride

Some time ago at Santa's place
Up in the old North pole
There lived a lump of anthracite
Whose parents called him Joel

Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
Happy as a lump can be
He just wants to keep Santa warm
And make the elves cosy
But Santa Claus had other plans
For Joel one fateful day
"Joel, you're just the lump I need
Come join me on my sleigh"

Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
Heart leapt up with joy
"I'll soon be Santa's present to
A lucky girl or boy
We'll laugh and play together
And we'll hold each other tight
Snuggle under clean white sheets
When we go to sleep at night"

Then Santa's elves all laughed at Joel
"You're in for a surprise
You're not a special Christmas gift
You're just a booby prize
What kid would ever want you?
You're filthy as can be
And now you have to go and live
With one who's been naughty"
That made keep
Poor Joel crying in electricity
You pollute the air
With CO2 and Mercury

Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
Fell down upon his knees
"I don't want to live with a naughty kid
Don't make me, Santa, please"
But Santa laughed his jolly laugh
"Ho ho, you stupid lump
You're just the thing to teach this brat
That Santa ain't no chump, ho ho ho"

So off they flew and before he knew
Joel was in a sack
He cried and yelled to Santa Claus
"Why don't we just go back? "
And then came Christmas morning
And much to Joel's surprise
He saw a boy with the saddest face
And tears were in his eyes
(Tears were in his eyes)

He picked Joel up, he held him
He said "You can be my friend"
(Be my next best friend)
"I would have liked some presents but
You're what Santa chose to send"
(Santa chose to send)
"It's true I've been a naughty boy
And maybe that's a sin"
(Maybe that's a sin)
"But if this is how Santa treats the kids
I'm just glad that I'm not him"

Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
Knew what he must do
He said "Now I know the reason why
I got sent to you"
Because when a person hurts inside
It turns him hard and cruel
But I know how to make your pain
Into a precious jewel
So take me in your hand, young man
And squeeze with all your might
Let's turn your pain and anger into
Something that shines bright"

And Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
He gave his life away
So one good naughty little boy
Had a diamond on Christmas day

I'm coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss

And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

And I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

I’m coming out of my cage

Michael plays with stars
Soul Sister won't you take a ride in his car
Late to call
When you wanted to be all
Baby, baby, don't be so shy
Rock children hold your heads up high
In the night while I try
And tell the ballad of Valentine

You got it bad, but you know it's true

I caught up with a friend in Dallas
We took a trip to New Orleans
Those black-eyed ladies
Won't say they're sorry

We finally caught a train to Memphis
Where everybody talks the same
Those blue suede babies
All know my name

And I said hold tight
Can't you see it's hurting me
But I've got the buzz
Like Marlon Brando
Michael Valentine, can't we unite?

We ended up in North Dakota
Although my heart's in Mexico
My muñequita
Abre tus ojos

With your new suit, and your black tie
Hold on, you're just a gambling man, all proper like
I broke to the right and I caught your eye
Shut your mouth and wave goodbye
Tonight, I ain't gonna let you rain on this parade

And I said hold tight
Can't you see it's hurting me
But I've got the buzz
Like Marlon Brando
Straight faced with misery tonight

And I will not lie when I say I ain't cold no more
But I've got the buzz
Like Greta Garbo
Walking forwards in the sun
And I've got a coat tail left to ride

Well uh oh
I know he's gonna be there tonight

Your class, your caste, your country, sect, your name or your tribe
There's people always dying trying to keep them alive
There's bodies decomposing in containers tonight
In an abandoned building where
The squatters made a mural of a Mexican girl
With fifteen cans of spray paint in a chemical swirl
She's standing in the ashes at the end of the world
Four Winds blowing through her hair

But when Great Satan's gone... the Whore of Babylon...
She just can't sustain the pressure will displace
She caves

The Bible's blind. The Torah's deaf. The Qu'ran is mute.
If you burned them all together you’d get close to the truth
Still they’re pouring over sandscript under Ivy League moons
While shadows lengthen the sun
Cast on a school and meditation built to soften the times
And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds
It's knocking over fences, crossing property lines
Four Winds cry until it comes

It's the Sum of Man slouching towards Bethlehem
A heart just can't contain all of that empty space
It breaks. It breaks. It breaks.

Well I went back by rented Cadillac and company jet
Like a newly orphaned refugee retracing my steps
All the way to Cassadaga to commune with the dead
They said, "You'd better look alive"
And now it’s off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps
In the Black Hills, the Badlands, the calloused East
I buried my ballast. I made my peace.

Heard Four Winds leveling the pines

But when Great Satan's gone, the Whore of Babylon
She just can't remain with all that outer space
She breaks. She breaks. She caves. She caves.

You'd better look alive

Be still and go on to bed
Nobody knows what lies ahead
And life is short, to say the least
We're in the belly of the beast

Be still, wild and young
Long may your innocence reign,
Like shells on the shore
And may your limits be unknown
And may your efforts be your own
If you ever feel you can't take it anymore

Don't break character, you've got a lot of heart
Is this real or just a dream?
Rise up like the sun,
Labour 'til the work is done

Be still, one day you'll leave
Fearlessness on your sleeve
And when you come back
Tell me, what did you see?
Was there something out there for me?

Be still, close your eyes
Soon enough you'll be on your own
Steady and straight
And if they drag you through the mud,
It doesn't change what's in your blood

(Over rock, over chain(over chain), over trap, over plain)

When they knock you down

Don't break character, you've got a lot of heart
Is this real or just a dream?
Be still
Be still
Be still
Be still

Over rock and chain
Over sunset plain
Over trap and snare
When you're in too deep
In your wildest dream
In your made up scheme
When they knock you down

Don't break character, you've got so much heart
Is this real of just a dream?
Oh, rise up like the sun and labour 'til the work is done
Rise up like the sun and labour 'til the work is
Rise up like the sun and labour 'til the work is done

On the field I remember you were incredible
Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah
On the field I remember you were incredible
Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah
On the match with the boys, you think you're alone
With the pain that you drain from love
In a car with a girl, promise me she's not your world
Cause Andy, you're a star

Leave your number on the locker and I'll give you a call
Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah
Leave your legacy in gold on the plaques that line the hall
Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah

On the streets, such a sweet face jumping in town
In the staff room the verdict is in
In a car with a girl, promise me she's not your world
Cause Andy, you're a star
In nobody's eyes but mine
Andy, you're a star
In nobody's eyes but mine
Andy, you're a star
In nobody's eyes
In nobody's eyes but mine

This snowman is shaping up to be an eight but not out of ten
The robots awake to find that they've been taped down wondering when They'll break though these chains
But little boys have action toys for brains
I'm living proof it can last a long time

Now the girls up the street are innocent and sweet
While they're all in bed
They got their makeup,
And dreams of wonderlands sprinkled inside their heads
Soon they will change,
But tonight Hollywood Hills never seem so strange
Their mothers pray it will last a long time

I wanna roll around like a kid in the snow
I wanna re-learn what I already know
Just let me take flight,
Dressed in red,
Through the night,
On a great big sled.
I wanna wish you Merry Christmas
Ho, ho, ho.

Now the boys are all grown up and they're working their fingers to the bone
They go around chasing them girls on the weekend
You know they still can't be alone
I've been racking my brain with thoughts of peace and love
How on earth did we get so mixed up
I pray to God it don't last a long time

I wanna roll around like a kid in the snow
I wanna re-learn what I already know
Just let me take flight,
Dressed in red,
Through the night,
On a great big sled.

I hear the sound of bells.
There's something on the roof.
I wonder what this night will bring.

I wanna roll around like a kid in the snow,
(I hear the sound of bells)
I wanna re-learn what I already know,
(There's something on the roof)
Just let me take flight, dressed in red,
(I wonder what this night)
Through the night, on a great big sled.
(Will bring)

I wanna wish you Merry Christmas.
Can't do that.
I wanna wish you Merry Christmas.
Can't do that.

11. Sam's Town (2006)

There's a plane and I am flying
There's a mountain waiting for me
Oh these years have been so trying

I don't know if I can use them
Am I strong enough
To be the one?
Will I live to have some children?

Help me get down,
I can make it,
Help me get down

If I only knew the answer
I wouldn't be bothering you, father

Help me get down
I can make it
Help me get down

If I only knew the answer
And If all our days are numbered
Then why do I keep counting

My sugar sweet is so attainable
This behaviour so unexplainable
The days just slip and slide
Like they always did
The trouble is my head
Won't let me forget

I took one last good look around
So many unusual sounds
I gotta get my feet on the ground

Help me get down,
I can make it (ohhhhh...)
Help me get down,
I can make it, help me get down
Help me get down
I can make it, help me get down
If I only knew the answer...
I wouldn't be bothering you, father,
Help me get down
I can make it, help me get down
Help me get down
I can make it, help me get down
If I only knew the answer...
And if all our days are numbered,
Would you help me get down? (I can make it, help me get down)
(Help me get down)
(I can make it, help me get down)
If I only knew the answer...

If I change my way of living
And If I pave my streets with good times
Will the mountain keep on giving

And if all of our days are numbered
Then why do I keep counting

Look back in silence; the cradle of your whole life.
There in the distance, loosing its greatest pride.
Nothing is easy, nothing is sacred. Why?
Where did the bow break?
It happened before your time.

There were people there, lovely as you've ever been.
Tonight.
Baby you can start again.
Laughing in the open air; have yourself another dream.
Tonight.
Baby we can start again.

Only the young can break away, break away.
Lost when the wind blow; on your own, ohh..
Only the young can break away, break away.
Lost when the wind blow; on your own, ohh...

Mother its cold here. Father thy will be done.
Thunder and lightening crashing down.
They got me on the run, direct me to the sun.
Redemption keeps my covers clean tonight.
Baby we can start again.

Only the young can break away, break away.
Lost when the wind blow; on your own, ohh...
Only the young can break away, break away.
Lost when the wind blow; on your own, ohh...

And the sun was shining.
And the sun was shining.
Are you looking for a sign?
Or are you confident?

Hahahahaha.
Hahahahaha.

Only the young can break away, break away.
Lost when the wind blow; on your own, ohh...
Only the young can break away, break away.
Lost when the wind blow; on your own, ohh...

Only the young can...
Lost when the wind blow...
Only the young can...
Lost when the wind blow...

Hahahahaha.
Are you confident?
Hahahahaha.

Well I woke up Christmas morning and what did I see?
I saw a lovely señorita looking back at me
Named Guadalupe, with big brown eyes
Boy what did you do this time?
Made my excuses and a beeline for the bedroom door
She was beggin’ and a-pleadin’, screamin’, “Por favor,
Mi cumpleaños, stay with me,
Baby it’s cold outside”

We are livin’ in a difficult time
We’ve been walkin’ down a difficult line
Put your feet up baby, it’s Christmas time
Cumpleaños feliz
Happy Birthday Guadalupe

(Our time will come)
(We both hold on)

She gave me coffee and tortillas to console my head
Prepared the slippers on my feet before she made our bed
And blew the candles from her favourite cake
And we kissed beneath the mistletoe
I pulled her body close to mine and I had just one chance
I whispered, “Baby will you marry me for just one dance?”
Infatuation, the things you say
I got scared and I left that night
‘Cause we are livin’ in a difficult time
We’ve been walking down a difficult line
Put your feet up baby, it’s Christmas time
Cumpleaños feliz
Happy Birthday Guadalupe
Deck the halls with rosaries
Wish upon a Christmas tree
Silent night please come to me
Bearing gifts from my… my Mexican angel
At night I wake up cold and lonely, bustin’ at the seams
She haunts the early morning hours of December dreams
My Guadalupe, with big brown eyes
I wanna break the spell tonight
‘Cause we are livin’ in a difficult time
We’ve been walkin’ down a difficult line
Put your feet up baby, it’s Christmas time
Cumpleaños feliz
Happy Birthday Guadalupe
Happy Birthday Guadalupe

I'm coming out of my cage And I've been doing just fine Gotta gotta be down Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss How did it end up like this? It was only a kiss It was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep And she's calling a cab While he's having a smoke And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed And my stomach is sick And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now He takes off her dress now Let me go
And I just can't look it's killing me And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea Swimming through sick lullabies Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay Destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes ‘Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
I'm coming out of my cage And I've been doing just fine Gotta gotta be down Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss How did it end up like this? It was only a kiss It was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep And she's calling a cab While he's having a smoke And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed And my stomach is sick And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now He takes off her dress now Let me go
‘Cause I just can't look it's killing me And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea Swimming through sick lullabies Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay Destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes ‘Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
I never I never I never I never

Come with us,
On a spaceship adventure,
Flying through the galaxy,
We’ll travel far to see sparkling beauty

See the moon,
And see the stars,
There’s a planet so very far from home

On a spaceship,
A spaceship adventure,
On a spaceship,
A spaceship adventure

Come with us,
On a spaceship adventure,
Flying through the galaxy,
We’ll travel far to see sparkling beauty

See the comets,
And shooting stars,
Solar system so very far from home

Flying at the speed of light,
Passing through the constellations,
Time turn around and head back to Earth now,
We can’t wait to come back again,
Come back again…

On a spaceship,
A spaceship adventure,
On a spaceship,
A spaceship adventure

Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
I'm breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential

Ready? Let's roll onto something new
Taking its toll and I'm leaving without you
I'm ready, let's roll onto something new

'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around

Pace yourself for me
I said maybe baby please
But I just don't know now
When all I wanna do is try

[x3]
Somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around

Here in my house, time is sweet
I hear the children playing in the street
Out where the hot winds blowing in the breeze

I don´t need time I don´t need time
No I can get by my self
I don´t need time I don´t know why the
Summer wind did not tell
I scramble on line and I know that
I will never become and will but I can get
by in the mean time by myself

Hes a real winner over the say sleeping
over this crazy afternoon addicted to there
dad as they assume

I don´t need time I don´t need time
No I can get by myself
I don´t need time I don´t know why the summer wind did not tell
I scramble on line and I know that I will never become and will
But I can get my on the mean time by myself

Deal me a crippiling blow
Steal me from under my clothes
A crippling blow

I don´t need time I don´t need time
No I can get by my self I don´t need time I don´t
know why the summer wind did not tell
I scramble on line and I know that I will never become and will
But I can get by on the mean time by myself
Oh I can get by on the mean time by myself

I can get bye on the mean time on myself

Wheels are turning; I remember when you were mine.
Now just to reach you, baby I'd stand in line.
But there's another world you're living in tonight.
And there's another heart that's fading in the light.
Don't want your picture on my cell phone.
I want you here with me.
Don't want your memory in my head, no.
I want you here with me.

Spent the summer just laying out in the sun.
Time seems to move so slow,
When you're taking it as it comes.
Maybe we were just too young.
Your body was tan and your hair was long.
You shot me a smile and my cares were gone.
When falling in love filled my soul with fright.
You said, Come on baby, it'll be all right.
I must've been a fool to the bitter end.
Now I hold on to hope to have you back again.
Id bargain and Id fight.
But there's another world you're living in tonight.

Don't want your picture on my cell phone.
I want you here with me.
Don't want your memory in my head, no.
I want you here with me.

Well, I saw you in a restaurant, the other day,
And instead of walking towards you, I ran away.
(Ran away)
And Ill keep on waiting for you
For you to come around, come around and say:

I don't want your picture on my cell phone.
I want you here with me.
Don't need those memories in my head, no.
I want you here with me.

Ohhhhh Ohhhhhhohhhhohhh
(Here with me)
Ooooohhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhh Ohhhhhhohhhhohhh
(Here with me)

Save some face
You know you've only got one
Change your ways
While you're young
Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh girl, he'll help you understand

Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

Looking back
at sun sets on the east side
We lost track
Of the time

Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things slide by so carelessly

Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

And Someone is calling my name
From the back of the restaurant
And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in
And someone will drive her around
Down the same streets that I did
On the same streets that I did

Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

oh no, oh no, no no
oh no, oh no, no no

Спасай свою репутацию, ты же знаешь, что другой у тебя не будет.
Изменись, пока молод.
Мальчик, однажды ты станешь мужчиной.
О, детка, он поможет тебе понять.
Улыбнись, словно тебе весело.
Улыбнись, словно тебе весело.

Я вспоминаю заходы солнца на Истсайде:
Тогда мы потеряли счёт времени.
Но мечты уже не те, что были раньше,
А на некоторые вещи мы вообще не обращаем внимания.

Улыбнись, словно тебе весело.
Улыбнись, словно тебе весело.

Кто-то зовёт меня по имени
Из глубины ресторана.
Кто-то играет в игру
В доме, где я вырос.
Кто-то будет подвозить её
По тем же улицам, что и я,
По тем же улицам, что и я.

Улыбнись, словно тебе весело.
Улыбнись, словно тебе весело.
Улыбнись, словно тебе весело.
Улыбнись, словно тебе весело.

О, нет, нет.
О, нет, нет.

Dear Santa,
I'm writing you a letter,
I'm sure you've got it all figured out.
Things haven't been easy
Between me and you,
I guess that there are things that you can't undo

Maybe I was naughty once but now I'm nice!

(boy you made the list, you know I checked it twice. Well guess what, YOU'RE STILL ON IT. HAHAHA)

And I feel it in my bones
And I feel it in my bones

Nights have been restless,
Pillows and sheets.
Bet you got it all figured out.
Sweat like a snowman
Out in the sun,
Dreaming that there ain’t nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide.

Hey, cringle!
You mean to say when you were young you never got wild
Kid, don't you get it, I'm gonna make an example out of you
For every mother's child

And I feel it in my bones
(I'm coming for you)
And I feel it in my bones

Silver bells and reigns
Tinsel, holly.
What happened to the rose red cheeks,
Chimney, big bag presents and all,
Fat and jolly,
Tinsel holly.

And I feel it in my bones
And I feel it in my bones
And I feel it in my bones
And I feel it in my bones

Glamorous

A coffee shop with a cause, then I'll freak you out
No sex, no drugs, no life, no love
When it comes to today

Stay if you wanna love me, stay

Tidal Wave

He's always trouble with his noncomplacent
Shotgun eyes, shotgun eyes
His subtlety, his mystery
Not like the other guys

She's always taken by his reputation
He's so bad, he's so bad
On Saturday night, they're running for the shadow

[Chorus:]
You say your heart ain't ever been broken
You think you know where you're going
Tidal wave
Tidal wave come rushing over me
You say this life has given you nothing
You got another thing coming
Tidal wave
Tidal wave come rushing over me

He'll get a warning sign to keep his distance
From her old man, from her old man
Now the story of forbidden love
Has gotta make a stand

So in the middle of the early morning
They'll slip away, slip away
And we know they'll do their best
Somewhere in the golden west

Oh yeah, and we'll watch them drive
They're so alive

[Chorus]

These tidal waves are caught off track
Come tomorrow, cause I can't go back
Come together, can't you see
Tidal wave gonna cover me.
These tidal waves are caught off track
Come tomorrow, cause I can't go back
Come together, can't you see
Tidal wave gonna cover me.

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you
I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you
In a room with a window in the corner I found truth

In the shadowplay acting out your own death, knowing no more
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor
And with cold steel, odour on their bodies made a move to connect
I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left

I did everything, everything I wanted to
I let them use you for their own ends
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you

I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door

Close your eyes, clear your heart
Cut the cord

Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know

Wave good bye, wish me well
You've gotta let me go

Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer?

Will your system be all right
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating

Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer

You've gotta let me know

Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human
Or are we dancer?

Are we human or are we dancer?
Are we human or are we dancer?

Save some face, you know you've only got one
Change your ways while you're young
Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh girl, he'll help you understand
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

Looking back at sunsets on the Eastside
We lost track of the time
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things sat by so carelessly

Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

And someone is calling my name
From the back of the restaurant
And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in
And someone will drive her around
Down the same streets that I did
On the same streets that I did

Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

Oh no, oh no no no
Oh no, oh no no no

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch him now, here he comes

He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young

Can we climb this mountain? I dont know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
That's takin' easy, easy now, watch it go

Were burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young

They say the Devils water it aint so sweet
You dont have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch him now, here he comes

He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young
(Talks like a gentleman)
(Like you imagined when)
When you were young

I said he doesnt look a thing like Jesus
He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

Glamorous
Indie rock'n'roll is what I want
It's in my soul, it's what I need
Indie rock'n'roll, it's time
Two of us
Flipping through a thrift store magazine
She plays the drums, I'm on tambourine
Bet your, your bottom dollar on me

It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
It's all I need
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me

In a clutch
I'm talking every word for all the boys
Electric girls with worn down toys
Makin' up, breakin' up, what do you care
Oh what do you care?

I take my twist with a shout
A coffee shop with a cause, man i'll freak you out
No sex, no drugs, no life, no love
When it comes to today

Stay if you wanna love me, stay
Oh don't be shy, let's cause a scene
Like lovers do on silver screens
Let's make it yeah, we'll cause a scene

It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
It's all I need
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me

In a clutch
I'm talking every word for all the boys
It's all I need
Makin' up, breakin' up, what do you care?
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me

Two of us
Flipping through a thrift store magazine
It's all I need
Makin' up, breakin' up, what do you care?
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
"This could be heaven or this could be hell"
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
(Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
(Any time of year)
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She got a Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain
"Please bring me my wine"
He said: "We haven't had that spirit here
Since nineteen sixty nine"
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
(Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
(What a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said: "We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device"
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax" said the night man
"We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave!"

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for
you
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching
for you
Moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you

In a room with a window in the corner I found truth

In the shadowplay acting out your own death, knowing no
more
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the
floor
And with cold steel, odour on their bodies made a move to
connect
I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left

I did everything, everything I wanted to
I let them use you for their own ends
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you

Time it tells living in my home town,
Wedding bells they begin easy
Live it down, baby don’t talk that much,
Baby knows, but baby don’t tease me.
In the park we could go walking,
Drowned in the dark or we could go sailing
On the sea

Always here, always on time
Close call, was it love or was it just easy
Money talks when people need shoes and socks,
Steady boys, I'm thinking she needs me

I was just sipping on something sweet
I don’t need political process

I got this feeling that they‘re gonna break down the door
I got this feeling they they’re gonna come back for more
See I was thinking that I lost my mind
But it’s been getting to me all this time
And it don’t stop dragging me down

Silently reflection turns my world to stone
Patiently correction leaves us all alone
And sometimes I’m a travel man
But tonight this engine's failing

I still hear the children playing

Kick the can, kick the can, skip and blackjack
Steal a car and ring a round-rosey,
Rock and roll, candyland, boogeyman,
Run away and give me your sneakers

Acid rain, when Abel looked up at Cain
We began the weeping and wailing
A hurried high from pestilence pills and pride,
It’s a shame, we could have gone sailing
But heaven knows,
Heaven knows everything
Tranquilize

I got this feeling that they‘re gonna break down the door
I got this feeling they they’re gonna come back for more
See I was thinking that I lost my mind
But it’s been getting to me all this time
And it don’t stop dragging me down

Silently reflection turns my world to stone
Patiently correction leaves us all alone
And sometimes I’m travel man
But tonight this engine's failing

I still hear the children playing
Dead beat dancers come to us and stay

Cause i don’t care where you've been
And I don’t care what you've seen
We’re the ones who still believe
And we’re looking for a page
In that lifeless book of hope
Where a dream might help you cope
With the Bushes and the bombs
aha, Tranquilized.

pick you up
later on
what to do?
it doesn't matter 'cause you get
what you want
through and through and if you shatter everything
that we've got
will you call me on occasion
if you like it or not, oh no

so turn it up, take me down
from the wall, it doesn't matter
'cause you get what you want after all
and now you've shattered everything that we had
and you call me on occasion just to see how I am
I'm hanging in

but now time teaches me to pretend it doesn't matter
'cause you get what you want in the end
and now you've shattered everything
he looks a bit like me

replaceable
it's cynical
call me useless; just you wait
put me down and call it fate
broken bridges, wasted hate
so just stand beside your man
the boy ain't wrong
act like I never turned you on
all I do is cry

and soon you'll find you're all alone
you call me on the telephone
who'd have thought that you'd regret
all those evil things you said
now as friends, we say goodbye
I think there's something in my eye

replaceable
it's cynical
call me useless; just you wait
put me down and call it fate
broken bridges, wasted hate
so just stand beside your man
The boy ain't wrong
act like i never turned you on
all I do is cry

and you watched me die
at least a thousand times
but it's great to hear you're doing fine
tonight, too late to fight
but you've got inside this naive head of mine
now time goes by
you knew you would
you knew you would
I need to understand
replaceable

Lets dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait were only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We dont have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The musics for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders were getting in tune
The musics played by the madmen

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why dont they stay young

Its so hard to get old without a cause
I dont want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
And dimonds are forever

So many adventures couldnt happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking the drag

Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now

He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullaby
Joking on your alibI
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
I'm Mr. Brightside

_______________________________

Я выхожу из своей клетки.
Там мне было хорошо.
Но я в расстроенных чувствах,
Потому что хочу сразу всего.
Всё началось с поцелуя.
Как же это могло так закончиться?
Это был просто поцелуй.
Это был просто поцелуй.

Теперь я засыпаю,
А она ловит такси.
Пока он курит,
Она делает затяжку.

Они собрались ложиться спать,
И меня тошнит,
Потому что я всё это представляю.
А тем временем она дотрагивается до его груди.

Он снимает с неё платье.
Отпусти меня,
Я не могу смотреть на это.
Это меня убивает,
Я подавлен.

Ревность
Превращает святых в море
С помощью тошнотворных колыбелей.
Ревность подшучивает над твоим алиби.
Но я должен заплатить эту цену.
Меня зовёт голос судьбы.
Открой мои жаждущие глаза.
Я Мистер Оптимизм.

Эта песня о реальном убийстве 14-летней Джоди Джоунс. Искалеченное тело Джоунс было найдено 30 июня 2003 в лесу около ее дома в Далкейт, а 10 месяцев спустя, ее друг, 15-летний Люк Митчелл, был арестован. Он был заключен в тюрьму за совершенное ранее в этом году убийство. Митчелл, как сообщают газеты, был фанатом Мэрлина Мэнсона, помешанным на дьявольщине.

A police car was outside your house today,
I haven't seen you in a couple of days.
They knocked on your door and then they went away,
Your mother looked scared but she didn't cry.
She didn't cry.

On one hand i've got myself to blame,
But on the other its always the same.
Follow suit shake your head,
Tell me thats its a lie.
I don't want you for dead but i want you to die,
Without a good friend or no sunshine
I know i want to buy hope,
But you don't know why.

where is she?
where is she?
where is my baby girl?
i've seen you
you're crazy!
what have you done with my whole wide world?

on one hand ive got myself to blame
but on the other its always the same thing
follow suit shake your head
tell me that its a lie
i dont want you for dead but i want you to die
without a good friend on a bad day
without a self surrender
now what do you say?

all of these tears that we've cried.
all of these tears that we've cried.

where is she?

This snowman is shaping up to be an eight but not out of ten
The robots awake to find that they've been taped down wondering when They'll break though these chains
But little boys have action toys for brains
I'm living proof it can last a long time

Now the girls up the street are innocent and sweet
While they're all in bed
They got their makeup,
And dreams of wonderlands sprinkled inside their heads
Soon they will change,
But tonight Hollywood Hills never seem so strange
Their mothers pray it will last a long time

I wanna roll around like a kid in the snow
I wanna re-learn what I already know
Just let me take flight,
Dressed in red,
Through the night,
On a great big sled.
I wanna wish you Merry Christmas
Ho, ho, ho.

Now the boys are all grown up and they're working their fingers to the bone
They go around chasing them girls on the weekend
You know they still can't be alone
I've been racking my brain with thoughts of peace and love
How on earth did we get so mixed up
I pray to God it don't last a long time

I wanna roll around like a kid in the snow
I wanna re-learn what I already know
Just let me take flight,
Dressed in red,
Through the night,
On a great big sled.

I hear the sound of bells.
There's something on the roof.
I wonder what this night will bring.

I wanna roll around like a kid in the snow,
(I hear the sound of bells)
I wanna re-learn what I already know,
(There's something on the roof)
Just let me take flight, dressed in red,
(I wonder what this night)
Through the night, on a great big sled.
(Will bring)

I wanna wish you Merry Christmas.
Can't do that.
I wanna wish you Merry Christmas.
Can't do that.

They say the Nile used to run from East to West
They say the Nile used to run
from East to West
I'm fine
but I hear those voices at night
sometimes
The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down
Its all in your mind"
The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down
Its all in your mind"

Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above,
Don't fence me in.
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love,
Don't fence me in.
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze,
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees,
Send me off forever but I ask you please,
Don't fence me in.

Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies.
On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise.

I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
And I can't look at hovels and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in.

Send me away
I'm here on my own
Hammer, stutter now
Lets rock, lets roll now

She says I'm obsessed
I say I'm in love
Oh, Me
You've done it now
Now send me a way out
I feel insecure
And Desperate
But not right now
I feel it now
And you don't see
The way I see
I've got it now
I'm desperate

Desperate
Desperate

I'm better off like this
I'm better off
I'm better off like this

Don't you know I care
No, no

Desperate
Desperate
Desperate
Desperate

I'm better off like this
I'm better off
I'm better off like this
Don't you know I care
No, no

I wish I was myself
Again
I wish I was myself
Again.

Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
I'm breaking my back just to know your name

Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this

Boots

No more trouble in this town
Silent night for a change
A brand new year coming up ahead
You know it's been so long
Since I rang one in

I close my eyes
Think about the path I took
Just when I think these times have gotten the best of me

[Chorus:]
I can see my mother in the kitchen
My father on the floor
Watching television, It's A Wonderful Life
Cinnamon candles burning, snowball fights outside
Smile below each nose and above each chin
Stomp my boots before I go back in

I wasted my wishes on Saturday nights
Oh, what I would give for just one more
I'd soften my heart and shock the world

Do you hear my voice?
Do you know my name?

Light my way
Lift my head
Light my way

[Chorus:]
I can see my mother in the kitchen
My father on the floor
Watching television, It's A Wonderful Life
Cinnamon candles burning, snowball fights outside
Smile below each nose and above each chin
Family all together, presents piled high
Frost on all the windows, what a wonderful night
Cinnamon candles burning, snowball fights outside
Smile below each nose and above each chin

So happy they found me, love was all around me
Stomp my boots before I go back in

Больше никаких волнений в этом городе.
Для разнообразия наступила тихая ночь.
Новый год всё ближе,
Знаете, прошло немало времени с тех пор,
Как я встречал новый год колокольным звоном.

Я закрываю глаза
И думаю о пути, по которому пошёл.
Когда мне кажется, что эти времена одолели меня...

[Припев:]
...Я вижу свою маму на кухне,
Своего отца на полу,
Смотрящим "Эту прекрасную жизнь"*.
Горят свечи с ароматом корицы, на улице играют в снежки,
Улыбка под каждым носом и над каждым подбородком.
Стряхиваю снег с ботинок перед тем, как войти в дом.

Я растратил все свои желания в субботние ночи,
О, я отдал бы все сейчас за еще одно.
Я бы смягчил свое сердце и шокировал мир.

Ты слышишь мой голос?
Ты знаешь, как меня зовут?

Освети мой путь,
Подними мою голову,
Освети мой путь.

[Припев:]
Я вижу свою маму на кухне,
Своего отца на полу,
Смотрящим "Эту прекрасную жизнь".
Горят свечи с ароматом корицы, на улице играют в снежки,
Улыбка под каждым носом и над каждым подбородком.
Вся семья в сборе, возвышается огромная куча подарков.
Иней на окнах, какая восхитительная ночь!
Горят светло-коричневые свечи, на улице играют в снежки,
Улыбка под каждым носом и над каждым подбородком.

Я так счастлив, что они нашли меня - я был окружён любовью...
Стряхиваю снег с ботинок перед тем, как войти в дом...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Woke up, the sun streaming in my room
Warm beach from palm December afternoon
You close your eyes
Another year blows by
Somewhere in the wind
Just another life

My parents sent a Christmas card and then it’s true
We understand you’re staying
And we’re proud of you
There’s a well-rehearsed disinterest in the atmosphere
I don’t know if that’s what this time gave me
Or if it lead me here

And I played so many parts
I don’t know which one’s really me
Don’t know if I can take

Another Christmas in L.A.
Another pitcher of Sangria
In an empty beach café
Another Christmas in L.A.
Hold me tighter Carmelita
I don’t know how long I can stay

Left a girl behind in my old man’s truck
Sometimes I wonder where she ended up
Maybe she got married, had a couple of kids
Who do you think you’re fooling man?
Of course she did

I’m walking in that tennis bar
Try and talk with Harry Bean
I don’t know if I can take

Another Christmas in L.A.
Another casting call on Thursday
For a job that doesn’t pay
Another Christmas in L.A.
Another burnout in a tank top
It seems your basket is the case
A fat protagonist in flip flops
With an extensive resume
From Echo Park to Catalina

Dreaming of a white Christmas
The one I used to know
Tree tops glisten, children listen
To sleigh bells in the snow

Another Christmas in L.A...

I'm coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

And I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

Cause I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

Let me out
Don't tell me everything
Start it out
Like any other day

Must have gave the wrong impression
Don't you understand where I belong?
Well I'm not the one

Stand again
They say nothing comes for free
And that's the truth
Been livin' in a fantasy
Slip and slide a head-trip heaven
Self denial's such a wonderful and powerful thing
Well I'm not the one

The morning dove sings
With two broken wings
Carry me home
I'm not afraid
The stars in my eyes
Were shimmerin' lights
Carry me home
Don't let me fade away

Stop the press
The kid's light is growin' dim
It took a month long slide
And the world came cavin' in

When you self desruct
You wind up looking for a glimmer of hope
But the writing's on the wall
I'm not the one

The morning dove sings
With two broken wings
Carry me home
I'm not afraid
The stars in my eyes
Were shimmering lights
Carry me home
Don't let me fade

Just how thick is your skin?
Just how sharp are your teeth?
Oh-ohh-oh
You've got a lot to learn

Is there somewhere else
That I can win?
Is there something else
To start over again?
From the summit's edge
To the cutting room floor
I will be afraid no more

The morning dove sings
With two broken wings
Carry me home
I'm not afraid
The stars in my eyes
Were shimmering lights
Carry me home
Don't let me fade

Carry me home
Carry me
(oh oh ohh, oh oh ohh)

I'm coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

And I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine

How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

Cause I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
