The New Amsterdams Drama Queen lyrics

Get over some how
my drama queen
old wounds and rebounds
old ha.......
I got the time
you've got the notion
new faces repeat
my drama queen

The New Amsterdams Hanging On For Hope lyrics

Are you hanging on for hope? The clock strikes past the hour. Is the pain enough to choke the life out? You may never get to sleep. Your time is not your time tonight. Her smile will make you weak and proud. Do you ever miss her? Do you feel the cold wind whisper? Is there anything more deafening? Are you hanging on for hope? It's all you've got worth living for. Is it much too much to cope the road out? There's a tension when we speak. The income's overrated but it's worth it when we meet on common ground. Do you ever miss her? Do you feel the cold wind whisper? Is there anything:. Do you ever cower when the clock strikes past the hour? Is there anything more deafening? Are you hanging on for hope? It's all you got, it's all you got. I miss you more that you could know when I'm gone.

The New Amsterdams From California lyrics

Uncommon amount of the time at home, hardly a word on the telephone. Finally find the time to get to know you. Still mapping it out like a master plan, something to do with my idle hands. Write you a letter addressed from California. It's vivid and strong in my memory, an absence that smacks of abandoning. It let to the battle that ultimately destroyed us. I'm nothing if I don't know your mistakes, the pill is as bitter as I can take. It twists like a blade when I leave for California. I hope that you know this is killing me, it's all in the name of the family. We only can play the cards the dealer dealt us. The end of the cycle is closing in, with you I see new hope begin again. There suddenly seems to be promise in California. As heavy as all this is weighing me, believe in the words I am promising. I'm still here for her. The distance is only an obstacle, hardly a match for a miracle. I'm finally ready to go to California.

The New Amsterdams Poison In The Ink lyrics

Some might say it's over rated, staring at their shoes. You're arrows don't have poison but they bruise. I can't make peace with you. All my heart is on these pages, open to abuse. I should try to be dishonest but I lose. It's never been for you. Angry eyes, there's poison in the ink. You've got so much time to think about it. Try to put your finger on it and figure out what's right for me and mine. Expletives and explanations fade bruise colored blue. A thicker skin develops on the wound. I won't change it for you. I'm just telling the truth.

The New Amsterdams The Smoking Gun lyrics

An empty house will leave you fatherless. The cycle is coming around like my mother did, but it's in her blood. Oh, my brother. You've gotten over it, gotten older yet. But it's only what our hearts will power. I think I might have found the smoking gun. My thoughts trail off for hours. I think the time has come to be the one. An empty house will leave you fatherless. The cycle is coming around like my mother did but it's in her blood. For the love of another, if the habit fits then you must admit. It's only what our hearts will power. I think I might have found the smoking gun. My thoughts trail off for hours. Maybe the time has come to be the one.

The New Amsterdams The Spoils Of The Spoiled lyrics

There was honor among the thieves, the only truth I could believe. But, when the lies applied to me and mine it's better left unsaid. We could write the hit parade outside The Masquerade. The headache comes in tidal waves, the spoils of the spoiled. The lines of history became the scenery. It's strictly an accessory, an image to uphold. But, it's all in fun and sin until someone calls it in. The cycle comes around again. But, I'm older now, and don't you know, I've figured out the antidote. It overwhelms, engulfed in smoke. It's all we can to cope. Goddamn these idle hands as hindsight can. Our hopes and plans are unfulfilled. It's overwhelming. There's a proper place and time though the bags under your eyes, they don't lie.

The New Amsterdams Worse For The Wear lyrics

All my life I've been waiting. It get's older, it's over me. I'd speak but it fails me. So the dike in the damn stops the leak. Maybe it's me and I'm venting. I find your speech otivating, watching life pass you by on the screen. Just flicker and fading with a plot like you wouldn't believe. Maybe I don't know the ending. Someone ruined my daydream. Aren't you spoiled enough as it is? Whatever you're saying won't bring anyone closer to this. I know you're sick. I wish you were healing, but you're worse for the wear. We keep tearing the seams we repaired. If we all had the call to fair then we wouldn't be standing here.

"Has Anyone Seen My Wings"

Send "Has Anyone Seen My Wings" Ringtone to your Cell
i'm a saint, i'm a bonified seraphim
an angel on a bar stool, anyone seen my wings?
i'm always losing the damn things
i'm the glue i'm a permanent fixture
i'm an anchor in the concrete if i went to find my fate
the foundation would break
alies
i never had none
but that would be one to see
yeah
i'm your fate yeah, your looking in the future
there's a bitter old man who's under your skin
but don't let him in
capsize
did anyone catch me?
nobody broke my fall
yeah
i'm a saint on a mission from the head man
you got a shoe start running boy leave him to us
leave them in your dust

"Wears So Thin"

Send "Wears So Thin" Ringtone to your Cell
White lines come anodyne
Like a calm summer sea
But all these creatures they've been watching me
Midnight by candlelight
Just my heart in a spoon
All my insides howl at the moon
The music begins. Violins.
The sad state we're in wears so thin
Tattoo covers needle bruises
Like I won't ever know
Long sleeve shirt sleeves like it's twenty below
Glass eyes don't recognize
Like you can't even see
You say these monsters they've been watching me
There is no sin my skin
The madness within wears so thin
It's done me in

"Your Red Hand"

Send "Your Red Hand" Ringtone to your Cell
If I ever catch your red hand
Talking shit on my friends again
I will institute my revenge
It is cold and sweet

Lack of faith may be the final straw
A power struggle that could end it all
A test of confidence has come to call
Is your trust in me?

I don't know why but I do
Anything anything
That you ask me to

Heard your answer on the radio
About them famous words you used to know
That was so three years ago
Aren't you over it?

I don't want you coming close to me
California falls into the sea
But if the stars align for your fifteen
Here's your minutes

I don't know why but I do
Anything anything
That you ask me to

If I ever catch your red hand
Talking shit on my friends again
I will institute my revenge
It is cold and sweet

"Watch The World Cave In"

Send "Watch The World Cave In" Ringtone to your Cell
The world's caving in, I got tickets for two
They're not the best seats and they're not the best view
Take my hand, you can squeeze on my arm
Wake from your slumber, baby, it's gonna start
It was worth the price of admission
The two of us watch the world cave in
The world's caving in like the prophecy calls
Barter redemption for diamonds and pearls
The rich got the camel through the eye of a needle
The deed in itself was inherently evil
When all's been said and written
The two of us watch the world cave in
The world's caving in, they're releasing the souls
Trapped in the earth where we can't hear their calls
Unbelievable torture, you wouldn't believe
This is their passion, their chance to be free
But they're beaten into submission
Free at last, watch the world cave in
When all's been said and written
The two of us watch the world cave in

"Maybe I'm A Fool"

Send "Maybe I'm A Fool" Ringtone to your Cell
maybe i'm a fool for believing you
never be the proof but then it all came true
wrote it in a letter that i sent to you
suns coming up
finally waking up
everyone says this is it
this isn't it
maybe i'm a fool
maybe i'm a fool for believing you
said you never knew never had a clue
couldn't keep a secret i wont ask you to
its all i got it may not be a lot
but everything is over now
so over now
maybe i'm a fool
maybe i'm a fool for believing you
your off into the blue without a word or two
maybe this is better once i'm over you
its all my fault that every grain salt
want to hope that your to blame
your only half the blame
your only half the blame
maybe i'm a fool

"Drinking In The Afternoon"

Send "Drinking In The Afternoon" Ringtone to your Cell
Drinking in the afternoon
This is what it's driven to
Is there anything else to do
I could've sworn it's three AM
It's quiet in the room again
This is where the story ends
Time for me to act my age
I've got nothing if I'm not the rage
Like that would matter anyway
I just don't think you understand
I just don't think you understand
A story needs a scene to end
But it's hard to say goodbye
At least we got to have this time
Drinking in the afternoon
The loneliest hotel room
I hope the answer comes to you
This is not the way for me
This is not my last defeat
Try to make the ends meet
But it's hard to say goodbye
At least we got to have this time

"Just So Over You"

Send "Just So Over You" Ringtone to your Cell
I'm just so over you,
I'm just so over you
I hope that you get to see
what you've done to me

What good does patience do?
Rewards aren't coming true
It doesn't seem worth the wait
for I'll gotten fate

I could not speak for you
but I think you feel it too
this instinct to hesitate
but then you make mistakes

And I'll see things clearly when
madness starts happening
is this the end in sight?
at least I changed my mind.

It's nothing personal
It's nothing personal
It's just my time and place
to make my mistake.

"Heaven Sent"

Send "Heaven Sent" Ringtone to your Cell
Taste the forbidden from the tree
All the questions begging me
Plagued with curiosity
These are all worth answering
It takes talent to have an original sin
Is it a tragedy if you are just a fool
All of this is heaven sent
Give me a chance to repent
Forgive me this decadence
Give me a chance to repent
Walk in the garden next to me
But there are all these walls around it
How could you take this place from me
I left all my lessons in it
Baby needs a new paradise
The sweetest of the songs that she's singing
All of this is heaven sent
Give me a chance to repent
Forgive me this decadence
Give me a chance to repent

"Full Thunder Moon"

Send "Full Thunder Moon" Ringtone to your Cell
come see the flood,
step to the tune
your mother's blood,
full thunder moon

full thunder moon
full thunder moon
bathe us in blue
full thunder moon

come sing to me,
my soul to save
our fight to sea,
bob like a wave

oh silent night,
near waters edge
show me the light
of my promises.

full thunder moon
full thunder moon
bathe us in blue
full thunder moon

full thunder moon
full thunder moon
bathe us in blue
full thunder moon

full thunder moon
full thunder moon
bathe us in blue
full thunder moon

"Strangled By The Thought"

Send "Strangled By The Thought" Ringtone to your Cell
Weak for lack of oxygen
Strangled by the thought
Promise you'll remember when I'm gone
Sleep is mostly optional
Trace lines around my heart
Steal the only breath from my lungs
But if I had your faith
I'd be fearless
But until that day
I'm envious
Miles and miles that distance us
Like meters on a map
Trace lines that only translate to a day
But if you're awake
Tell me it's safe
If you ask me to stay
Then I'll stay
Don't leave me here when I'm bleeding
When I'm fading but I'm true
It's tempting to stop everything
When I'm pouring out to you
So take everything, take it all from me
Because all I want is you

"The Death Of Us"

Send "The Death Of Us" Ringtone to your Cell
I don't think that you're one of us
A coated chrome doesn't rust from the inside out
It's a ways down to ghost town

I don't think that you're serious
That alone could be the death of us
And the way we know, we move slow

I wanna like your way
It's hard for me to tell you wrong
I see it in your eyes
I don't think you could lie for long
Taken like a child
Sold the silver for us all
But you're gone

Mop the ground where the wound was bled
I pray to god that he'll strike you dead before I get back
Fear my wrath

The darkest suit but I wear it well with a smile
On the way to hell with your arms and legs bound
All the way down

"Turn Out The Light (Reprise)"

Send "Turn Out The Light (Reprise)" Ringtone to your Cell
I've been wrong but it's alright
There've been long and lonely nights
I was lost till I found you
Turn out the lights
I'll stay if you want me to

"A Small Crusade"

Send "A Small Crusade" Ringtone to your Cell
Stand at attention
Leading a listless life
No open redemption by the riverside what you saw was salvation on the go

Free who you were before
Find what you're looking for
Lose everything but you do it again

You're always a pilgrim leading a small crusade to find the essential
not a missionary or a guide
the past is part of this to cast aside

To free who you were before
Find what you're looking for
Lose everything but you do it again

Secret concealed in the wheat fields
There's a mystery to this history

"Beautiful Mistake"

Send "Beautiful Mistake" Ringtone to your Cell
This scene is a hard sell
Patience is underwhelming
Besides you don't want to sleep up late
Midnight on a dirt road
Breathe broken manifold
Time is part of my history

Long days full of bad notes translates to a bad joke
This will be my legacy one day
If I don't have a life to show put this on my tombstone
Dialer's almost dead I've gotta let you go
Hang my head next to the phone
Seems so long ago

Looking back on a long night
Sounds bad in the harsh light
At least it's with a document of what we were simpler than

I see clearly now, never will escape
Once we took the time to make a beautiful mistake
Baby I'll take this all forever
Tonight I'll see with clarity right where we belong
Never would go wrong

"Calendar Days"

Send "Calendar Days" Ringtone to your Cell
Call it a crutch when you plan it too much
Waste your whole life without living
Gimme a moment that should have been spent
Time isn't very forgiving

Wasting away all your calendar days
I'd tell you again but you'd miss it
There's a place for everything, everything in it's place

You look good in this suit, it's tailored for you
You're hardly alive in your skin
We've been waiting, where have you been

Maybe the sin isn't where we begin
Don't want to rush in discretion
Don't want remorse to be drowned in the shore
This isn't a class just a lesson
Start with a story you don't want to tell of the time when you may have been reckless
You may have been young and foolish then but so, so

Show me the pictures you don't wanna see
Things you don't want me to know
Everyone's asking where did you go

Tell me the one about when you were young
Cause you're only as old as you feel
Somebody might take your moment while you weren't at the wheel

"Intelligent Design"

Send "Intelligent Design" Ringtone to your Cell
Any signs of proof yet to show
We're content to be a rural joke
Tell me one thing is it something that we really need

It's in the lesson plan for school, tell the teacher he's a fool
It's a theory
It's not a theory and it's not belief

Let you know about a mortal sin (you gotta)
Tell me more about the sin I'm in (you gotta)
You're the last thing that we really need

This is not about the end of time (no it's not)
This is not a moral decline (no it's not)
You're the last thing that we really need

Do you really want a holy ghost (no we don't)
Does everybody need a holy ghost (no we don't)
You're the last thing that we really need

"Your Ghost"

Send "Your Ghost" Ringtone to your Cell
Your ghost is haunting the alleyways
Pacing the tracks where you tread
Seeking the solace of sleep
Maybe you don't know you're dead

Witness the worst of your history only to chase it again
Discreet but curiously
Repeating the act in the end

Lonely and grieving
Will your god take me too
This won't be the memory I will carry of you

I watch the sea, you lied to me
I will wait but the day never comes

Tempt me to change things because I've got the will and the blade
but my sins have cursed me
So I wander the rest of my days

Lonely and grieving
Will your god take me too
This won't be the memory I will carry of you
I believed it killed me
It's too late for the truth

I watch the sea, you lied to me
I will wait but the day never comes

Your ghost is haunting the alleyways
Maybe you don't know you're dead

"Past The Pines"

Send "Past The Pines" Ringtone to your Cell
Drive around past the pines over the hills into Hollywood
Innocence never died, I can tell by the look on your face
Woah

I believe in a sanctity
So hard to breathe when your family and friends are fools nobody knows that I'm on to you
Speak to me secretly, whisper the words in my ear
Woah

I believe in a sanctity
So tongue in cheek
We know a secret we dont have to tell
Everything else is a bad rhythm
View from the lemon trees over the hill someday all this will be ours
Woah

I believe in a sanctity
Look in and clean up the wasteland

"Bad Liar"

Send "Bad Liar" Ringtone to your Cell
I told you everything was fine
You called 'bullshit'
And it's not worth money if your heart just isn't in it

You've gotta sharp mind but, I'm a bad liar
It's hardly a new disclosure

Bottle it up, it takes a bottle to get it out
So many pieces of broken glass, a razor wit
You've got a sharp tongue, but I'm not a bad guy
And I wouldn't try to fuck you over

You can't tell me in the South Seas that I'm missing out
You don't know me
You have hardly any common ground

Let's call it off, let's take the memories and run
I'll be the villain, the man with the smoking gun
I guess this is goodbye
So have a nice life
See you at the replay lounge
