Lyrics to Bulls In Brooklyn :
Some people have it and other people don't
You been making some threats. got my name and address
I'm breaking habits you don't want to know
Although I'm wearing my clothes, feeling cold and exposed, yeah
Whoa whoa oh oh oh

Don't say you miss me, you probably don't
Well I been crossing some lines, that most folks won't yeah
Whoa whoa oh oh oh

Don't think you're more than this, or above all this

Don't say you think you know when you know you don't
Because tonight the bulls are in Brooklyn and you're still at home
Whoa oh whoa oh oh oh

Some people have it and other people don't
Though the road we've paved still goes both ways
I'm breaking habits you don't want to know
Well I been crossing some lines that most folks won't

Don't think you're more than this, or above all this
With your "blah blah blah" and all your friends
Don't say you think you know when you know you don't
Because tonight the bulls are in Brooklyn and you're still at home
Whoa oh whoa oh oh oh

Don't say you think you know when you know you don't
Because tonight the bulls are in Brooklyn, said

Some people have it and other people don't

Lyrics to Neighbors :
I took a step back as the room was filling up
I was packed up against some people who were tossing up a storm
Now the door's locked
And the shower's on.
And I realize I don't recognize anyone,
But I don't mind
Well the neighbors have complained damn near every night.

[Chorus]
You shoulda shown up
Shoulda shown up by now
You shoulda shown up by now
Give it a rest. Give it a rest
With a knock at the door,
The knock at the door as it goes...
Whoa...

Well now everybody's losing control!
Intoxicated circulation...
Just try and sit back, get my palette wet,
Getting mentally prepared for the consequences
And you know why...
Because that knock at the door
Calls the crowd to quiet.
The neighbors have complained damn near every night.

[Chorus]
You shoulda shown up
Shoulda shown up by now
You shoulda shown up by now
Give it a rest. Give it a rest
With a knock at the door,
The knock at the door as it goes...
Whoa...

There's no one left lying on the second story floorboards
And I'm sure they heard next door
The bottles are hollow now
And there's room at the bottom
And I would take it back
If I could, but I won't!

[Chorus]
You shoulda shown up
Shoulda shown up by now
You shoulda shown up by now
Give it a rest. Give it a rest
With a knock at the door,
The knock at the door as it goes...
Whoa...

Lyrics to Seed :
Subjects are thrown around the room
Looking for the ones that got away
A feeling of soft anticipation
Another confrontation I won't make
But how do we do it
We turned into something else entirely
We fake it
But I wanted it so desperately to be real

Run, run, holding on to some pieces that you left behind
Hope now, as I walk away, you're the one that finds me out
Run from the only thing left that I hold close

While he's letting you in
You've got the feeling you've been followed under your skin
It will be weighing on your shoulder, believe it.
If I could express it in a different dialect or in a delicate way
I'd capture the phrases inside the cage beneath my chest
And keep it locked for days
I wanted you so desperately to believe me

Run, run, why are you running from another conversation?
Someone that I've been planning on, you're the one that finds me out.
There's nowhere, now I found you, that I won't go.

I'm always letting you in.
You've got the feeling you've been followed under your skin.
It will be weighing on your shoulder.
You've got that seed in you.
You've got that seed in you.

Run, run, what are you running from?
Let all your small steps expose your secrets.
You don't have to speak for me to believe it.
But what do you mean? Yeah...ha-ha

Shaken and faint, you've got the feeling you've been followed
under your skin. It will be weighing on your shoulder.
You've got that seed in you.
You've got that seed in...
While letting you in, you got the feeling you've been followed.
Are you listening to anything I said?
Said to anything I said (You've got that seed in you)
Said (You've got that seed in you)

Shaken and faint, it was the hardest thing to swallow.
Pretending you don't miss me.
You've got that seed in you.
You've got that seed in...
While letting you in, I'll be thinking about tomorrow.
And every time we cross those lines.
You've got that seed in you.
You've got that seed in...
I hope now, as I walk away, you're the one that finds me out

Lyrics to Chop Chop :
Chop chop

I've got myself to blame for this
I've tried to compensate for everything I'm not,
and every face forgotten.
You felt the sun warming your bed
you looked so quintessential pressed against that cross,
in the face of what was lost.
Still I'm not asking much of me,
and you're ignoring the matter...

You'll shut me up and bleed me dry.
Cheap champagne and a complicated lifestyle
If nothing else matters, then
I will die trying,
thinking about you and I.

Three years on Friday since we met
you felt that existential kiss upon your neck.
how could we forget that?
Still I'm through acting like this feels right,
and that nothing else matters.

You'll shut me up and bleed me dry.
Cheap champagne and a complicated lifestyle
If nothing else matters, then
I will die trying,
trying not to think about you...
Yeah

It's on yourself and no one else.
It's on yourself and no one else.
but without hindsight
I guess it serves me right.

You'll shut me up and bleed me dry.
Cheap champagne and a disappearing lifeline.
if nothing else matters
then I will die trying
thinking about you and I.

Shut me up and bleed me dry
it's only a matter of time
Cheap champagne and a complicated lifestyle
it's only a matter of time.
Santi

Lyrics to You Might Have Noticed :
If you're under the impression I'm alright.
I guess you never noticed.
I guess you might have known
I've been holding this together for so long.
But I guess you might have noticed.
Well I guess you...

The beast within the burden is all mine
A product of his father. A slave to his bride.
I feel I need to reveal my true stripes,
But the bitch behind all this trouble it,
Waits behind the wind to find out.

[Chorus]
You set me up to leave me,
You wanted to feel,
Shallow love, shallow lives.
With every word, you speak of what you wanted from me.
Wanted from me... Yeah

I'm sinking more and more into my lies.
Now home is just a pinprick in the vastness of my life.
Feel the pressure, feel the pleasure,
Feel the pain, you're not alone.
Feel the pleasure, feel the pain,
Feel the pain.

[Chorus]
You set me up to leave me,
You wanted to feel,
Shallow love, shallow lives.
With every word, you speak of what you wanted from me.
Wanted from me... Yeah

Realizations, I am not what you thought I was.
You change directions everytime someone judges us.
In moderation, what was once us now never was.
You change directions everytime someone judges us.

[Chorus]
You set me up to leave me,
You wanted to feel,
Shallow love, shallow lives.
With every word, you speak of what you wanted from me.
Wanted from me... Yeah

Realizations, I am not what you thought I was.
In moderation, what was once us now never was.

Lyrics to Unexpected Places :
Don't try and tell me you've been looking at me.
Cuz I've been looking at you.
And I can read what you think. Yea.
Don't cut no corners when you're talking to me.
Like I don't know how it is,
But I can see all of it.

[Chorus]
We always have to wait (wait)
By the choice we had to make. (make)
You sold yourself so short,
Is this the way to carry on?
In the most unexpected places...

Don't try and tell me you've been thinking of us,
Cuz I will never believe you now you're shit out of luck, yeah.
Don't cut no corners when you're looking at me.
Like you don't know how it is
But I can see all of it...

[Chorus]
We always have to wait (wait)
By the choice we had to make. (make)
You sold yourself so short,
Is this the way to carry on?
In the most unexpected places...

We always have been caged
By the choices we make.
You sold yourself so short.
Is that the way to carry on?
In the most unexpected places. I see changes.
In the most unexpected places, I see changes.
We sold ourselves so short.
Is this the way to carry on?
Is this the way to carry on?

Lyrics to Attention :
Attention! Attention!
May I have all your eyes and ears to the front of the room,
if only, if only for one second.

This table has taken a turn for the worst.
Rock bottom and over the edge
well it's not like it hurts that much anyway.
Upside down and inside out.
When I leave here I'm going alone.
Well it's not like, it not like it hurts much anyway.

Attention! Attention!
May I have all your eyes and ears to the front of the room,
if only, if only for one second.
Will you hear what I have to say?
Oh, did I mention when I see you it stings like hell?
To the fact that we could have something that'll never happen.
Will you hear what I have to?

This balance has weighed out our heart's desire.
I'm trying to make it alone.
Well it's not like it hurts that much anyway.
Upside down and inside out.
When I leave here I'm going alone.
But I'm dying, I'm dying to touch.
And it's not like, it not like it hurts much anyway.

Attention! Attention!
May I have all your eyes and ears to the front of the room,
if only, if only for one second.
Will you hear what I have to say?
Oh, did I mention when I see you it stings like hell?
To the fact that we could have something, something.

Attention! Attention!
May I have all your eyes and ears to the front of the room,
if only, if only for one second.
Will you hear what I have to say?
Oh, did I mention when I see you it stings like hell?
To the fact that we could have something that'll never happen.
Will you hear what I have to (say)?

Attention! Attention!
Upside down and inside out.
Attention! Attention!
Upside down and inside out

Season :
Wake up, think fast, three weeks have passed.
We are changing. No sleep, no gas, no excuses will pass these lips
Cause we're shapin' up to be all you wish you could have been
To write the hits and to turn their heads
And to open eyes (open your eyes) to a brand new season,
A brand new season.

So show me something we haven't heard yet,
But I'm not convinced and your hopeless songs won't stick.
But I, I'll sing you something you won't forget
For the first time I know this is now who I am.

Wake up, think fast, three weeks have passed these lips
Cause we're shapin' up to be all you wish you could have been
To write the hits and to turn heads (to turn heads, to turn heads)
And to open eyes (open your eyes) to a brand new season,
A brand new season.

So show me something we haven't heard yet,
But I'm not convinced and your hopeless songs won't stick.
But I, I'll sing you something you won't forget
For the first time I know this is now who I am.

You'll see what we mean,
You'll notice when we're gone.

So show me something we haven't heard yet,
But I'm not convinced and your hopeless songs won't stick.
But I, I'll sing you something you won't forget
For the first time I know this is now who I am.

So show me something we haven't heard yet,
But I'm not convinced and your hopeless songs won't stick.
But I, I'll sing you something you won't forget
For the first time I know this is now who I am.

Lyrics to Slow Down :
Close the door and take the stairs.
Up or down? Ups and downs.
Don't pretend you've never been there.
You kiss me like an overdramatic actor who's starving for work,
with one last shot to make it happen.
You've won the role, you've played your part, you've been cordially invited.
But I'm not impressed, and I'm definitely not excited.
'Cause the film runs a shallow budget, and the writer's subject script isn't any deeper.
So dive right in...

Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
hey you, who are you kidding?
I'm not like them. I won't buy in.
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
hey you, who are you kidding?
Don't quit 'til 47.
Then we'll turn it up and we'll play a little faster.

[Chorus:]
Take back everything you ever said.
You never meant a word of it. You never did.
Take back everything you said.
You never meant a word of it. You never did.

She said 'Alright, Alright, slow down!"
Oh no, oh no, we won't.
'Cause I regret every thing that I said
To ever make her feel like she was something special,
Or that she ever really mattered.
Or did she ever really matter?

Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
hey you, who are you kidding?
I'm not like them. I won't buy in.
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
just don't count on this summer.
Don't quit 'til 47.
Then we'll turn it up and we'll play a little faster.

[Chorus]

I'm not saying that I'm not breaking some hearts tonight, girl.
Oh...
I'm not saying that I'm not breaking some hearts tonight, girl.

Alright, alright, slow down...

[Chorus]

Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
hey you, who are you kidding?
I'm not like them. I won't buy in.

Lyrics to The Phrase That Pays :
My eyes can't believe what they have seen.
In the corner of your room you've stockpiled millions of my memories.
Oh Doctor, Doctor, I must have gotten this sick somehow.
I'm going to ask you a series of questions,
And I want them answered on the spot, right now.
Is it serious?
I'm afraid it is.
Am I gonna die?
Well son, death is gonna catch up to all one day,
But yours is coming quicker then ours, then ours.

Some things I may have taken for granted again and again,
well here's what was said then

Hold your head high heavy heart.
So take a chance and make it big,
Cause it’s the last you’ll ever get.
If we don’t take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I’ve been planning something big, planning something big, planning.

I’ve never tried to make the best of my time,
When I thought that I had plenty of it.
Is this serious?
I don’t know what to think.
Is it all a lie?
Well one thing is for sure
I'm taken back to the glory days
When we were kids without a brash or bitter thing to say.

Now my life is one big make it, or break it.

Hold your head high heavy heart
Save your strength for the morning after.
So take a chance and make it big,
Cause it’s the last you’ll ever get.
If we don’t take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I’ve been planning something big, planning something big
So take a chance and make it big,
Cause it’s the last you’ll ever get.
If we don’t take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I’ve been planning something big, planning something big, planning.

Lyrics to Black Mamba :
we've got one chance to break out
and we need it now
cause i'm sick and tired of waiting
sick of this fucking apartment

love me or leave me or rip me apart
this is the voice that i was given and
if you dont like it take a long walk
off of the shortest pier you can find

and i'll be singing it out i'll be singing...
oh, Mr. Magazine i never wrote one single thing for you
or your so-called music scene
you dont mean a thing to me

pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
pick it up, pick it up, and you need it to
pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
pick it up, pick it up

when they review the debut
what if the critics hate you
dont worry cause they
might just catch somebody off their feet
well they can love it or leave it or rip it apart
we're living while we're singing
so i guess that's a step in the right direction
glare of composition in the honesty, honesty

oh, Mr. Magazine
i never wrote one single thing for you
or your so-called music scene
you both mean shit to me

pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
pick it up, pick it up, and you need it to
pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
pick it up, pick it up

so save your breath and the money you spent
go work in retail and spare the suspense
just dont take chances on anything at all
anything at all

so afraid of anything that may not come that easy
too afraid of anything that you may not have seen before
so afraid of anything that may not come that easy
too afriad of anything that may not...

pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
pick it up, pick it up, and you need it to
pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
pick it up, pick it up

so save your breath and the money you spent
go work in retail and spare the suspense
just dont take chances on anything at all
anything at all

Lyrics to Skeptics And True Believers :
Don't be so scared, we will not lead you on like you've been doing for weeks.
So you're selfish, and I'm sorry.
When I'm gone you'll be going nowhere fast
Nowhere fast, nowhere fast.

[Chorus:]
Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you,
'cause I wouldn't believe you if you said the same to me.
And near death, last breath, and barely hanging on.
Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?

Don't be so scared to take a second for reflection,
to take a leave of absence, see what you're made of.
So I'm selfish, and you're sorry.
When I'm gone you'll be going nowhere fast.
So who's selfish, and who's sorry?

[Chorus]

Someone, somewhere said some things that may have sparked some sympathy, but don't believe.
Don't believe a word you've heard about me.

Don't be so scared. It's harder for me.
Don't be so scared.
Don't be so scared, It's harder for me.
Don't be so scared, It's harder for me.
Don't be so scared, It's harder for me.
Don't be so scared.

[Chorus]

Someone, somewhere said some things that may have sparked some sympathy, but don't believe.
Don't believe a word you've heard.

Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?
'Cause I wouldn't believe you
Wouldn't believe you now
[x2]

Lyrics to Classifieds :
My life reads like the classifieds.
Pages of what's for sale; whats on the auction block.
Attention bidders! Its line 45.
He's got a decent voice, he's got that crooked smile.
Hold on, you havent heard the best yet.
He writes good storylines, he's got those honest eyes.
So take him home for just $9.95.
He'll sing the songs you like, he'll keep you warm at night.

Back down, cash out, that's the city for you.
Break down and back out, and get what's coming to you.
When you said you were falling apart I thought you meant that you were falling apart.

I'm not the type to forget about nights like this,
where every single move that I make is documented and scored for style points.
The once ambitious one now holds the smoking gun.
And if I die in my sleep, are you still willing to be everything you promised you would be?

Back down, cash out, that's the city for you.
Break down and back out, and get what's coming to you.
When you said you were falling apart I thought you meant that you were falling apart.

Will you be the first one to tell the neighborhood paper
and all my family and friends that still care?
Did you buy what I sold and did you feel what I told you?
I hope you still do. Will you promise yourself, that this isn't all we've got?

Back down, cash out, that's the city for you.
Break down and back out, and get what's coming to you.
When you said you were falling apart I thought you meant that you were falling apart.

lyrics to Down And Out :
Out of the box, out of the kitchen.
Out of the world she's grown so fearful of, so fearful of.
I don't ever want to see you again.
I don't ever want to see you again.
I don't ever want to see you again.
I don't ever want to see you again, my friend.
This is the end.

Out of the house, she grabs the keys, runs for the hills and doesn't leave a letter.
That way the impact will be much better.
Away from the man that she's grown so fearful of, so fearful of.
I don't ever want to see you again.
I don't ever want to see you again.
I don't ever want to see you again.
I don't ever want to see you again.

Why, oh why, do you wear sunglasses in the home
when the sun went down about an hour ago?
Why, oh why, do you wear sunglasses in the home
when the sun went down about an hour ago?
Life should not be that way.

Always up or down, never down and out.
You dream of demons while you sleep that make you stutter when you speak.
Always up or down, never down and out.
You dream of demons while you sleep that make you stutter when you speak.
Speak now or forever hold your peace in pieces.

Now that I'm grown I've seen marriages fall to pieces.
Now that I'm grown I've seen friendships fall to pieces.
Weekend warriors, and our best friends.
The writers weren't kidding about how all good things must end.
Then again some things, then again some things are far too good,
Some things are far too good to go ahead and let go.

Always up or down, never down and out.
You dream of demons while you sleep that make you stutter when you speak.
Always up or down, never down and out.
You dream of demons while you sleep that make you stutter when you speak.
Speak now or forever hold your peace.

We won't forget Tony or Johnny, oh, oh.
No matter how they miss us they still wish us the best on the road.
Garrett took a plane to Paris, France.
Now he's cooking up entrees for the pretty, pretty French girls.
Bookends, Blue and Clarity, to The Wall and Grace.
Darkside, Wish and a toast to the late Figure 8.

Weekend warriors and our best friends.
The writers weren't kidding, but the good things will live in our hearts.

Always up or down, never down and out.
You dream of demons while you sleep that make you stutter when you speak.
Always up or down, never down and out.
You dream of demons while you sleep that make you stutter when you speak.
Always up or down, never down and out.
You dream of demons while you sleep that make you stutter when you speak.
Always up or down, never down and out.
You dream of demons while you sleep that make you stutter when you speak.
Speak now or forever hold your peace in pieces

Lyrics to Almost Here :
So listen up.
I worked in daylight feeding fashion to housewives.
For just this once, I'll take my chances on truck stops and state lines.
Go ahead and tell them again.
Well I think that I know that they won't remember.
Go ahead and tell them twice.
Yeah, twice is nice, but three times is just right.

Hey, hey now we're almost home.
I'm missing you to death, but it's all for the best, I know.
Hey, hey we're not far from home.
I've got my pride, and I'll let you sleep tonight.

So listen up.
My old friends have been dropping like houseflies.
The smoking gun still sits in my pocket and I know how to use it.
Go ahead and tell them again.
Well I think that I know that I won't forgive them
for turning their backs when we started to get busy.
Yeah twice is fine, but three times is just right.

Hey, hey now we're almost home.
I'm missing you to death, but to each his own.
Hey, hey we're not far from home.
I've got my pride, and I'll let you sleep tonight.

Hey, hey now we're almost home.
I'm missing you to death, missing you to death.
Hey, hey we're not far from home.
I'll swallow my pride and push back my seat tonight.

I'm on my feet.
This isn't like us anyway.
I'm running...
Our time is almost here.
