"Nobody Don't Dance No More"

I'm alive!
I'm alive!

Watch yourself,
I'm taking over.
The cracks in the pavement won't break my stride.
I tread lightly,
I tread light!
I'm alive!

I can't believe what I've become,
I won't stop breathing.
Your world is falling at your feet,
I won't stop breathing.

Oh my God!
Yeah!

I can't believe what I've become,
I won't stop breathing.
Your world is falling at your feet,
I won't stop breathing.

Just 'cause you're breathing
Don't mean you're alive.
Excuses are useless
When your mouth's stapled shut.

I can't believe
What you've become,
I can't believe.
[x2]

Oh!

You're drowning in the back room!
so this is what it feels to waltz?
[x4]

What it feels to waltz!

I must be dreaming!
Demise is so surreal!

I must be dreaming!
I must be dreaming!
I must be dreaming!

"Bite Your Lip And Fake It"

Take the broken heart and stitch it up with some tears
Blush it up, dress it up and put it on ice, it keeps us cold
Frozen your lips turn lullabies numb
You're laughing melodies in time with heartbreak and rhyme

Don't go blowing me a kiss,
'Cause you'll see it break down in all its elegance,
Like a model wearing the wrong make-up for her own fashion parade
Biting your lip and I know,
You are faking it, you are hating it

Writing another lipstick letter, painting our script. you're the artist.
Red for the love, white for the lies, black the clichés, I'll see it in your eyes
Brush in some red, sketch in some blue, picture perfect, me and you
Don't forget the title, "Inventing Tragedy in Black and White"

Don't go blowing me a kiss,
Cos' you'll see it break down in all its elegance,
Like a model wearing the wrong make-up for her own fashion parade
Biting your lip, I know your faking it,
Letting it bleed, I know you're hating it

Painting my tragedy, singing my tragedy
But would you blow me a kiss?
At the bottom of your letters
All of my love
All of my hate
All of my love

There's no melody that fits with drop-dead gorgeous
Your name doesn't fit with the chorus or a line from her song,
But she's singing your tragedy, and her lipstick stains, me and you

Now take a look at me
Feel the ... I'm drowning in
You know I'm faking it for the sake of ruining your world

Well you were something mixed in desire
I can taste the fake in your breath, but i want more

[2X] Would you blow me, would you blow me a kiss?

I know your looking at me
Your look will drown in the ...

"A Candlelight Dinner With Inamorta"

This isn't over baby don't believe a word they said
But then
She takes a moment to ponder
To wonder what could've been given another chance
To find the light in the darkness and way out of this
If only she saw what I could see
She takes a moment to stumble to her feet
If I was there to hold her hand
If only she saw what I saw she'd get out of this one
She'd get out of here
What burns the most is that you lied right to my face
And still I take your hand to set you free
With eyes closed
Her heart breaks
And after it all
She brought this on herself
For me, for you, the fallen, save her
For me, for us, for good, save her
She falls before me
With eyes closed
Her heart breaks
And after it all
She brought this on herself

"18 And Life"
(originally by Skid Row)

Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
Lived 9 to 5 and he worked his fingers to the bone
Just barely get out of school, came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down, oh no

He had no money, oh, no good at home
He walked the streets as soldier and he fought the world alone

18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go
18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go

Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline
He kept his motor running, but it never kept him clean
They say he loved adventure, "Ricky's the wild one"
He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun

Bang bang, shoot 'em up, the party never ends
You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend
And now it's

18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go
18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go, -yeah

"Accidents will happen", they all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind, that child blew a child away

18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go
18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go

"Youth Gone Wild"
(originally by Skid Row)

Since I was born they couldn't hold me down
Another misfit kid, another burned-out town
Never played by the rules, I never really cared
My nasty reputation takes me everywhere

I look and see it's not only me
So many others have stood where I stand
We are the young so raise your hands

They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild

Boss screamin' in my ear about who I'm supposed to be
Getcha a 3-piece Wall Street smile and son you'll look just like me
I said "Hey man, there's something that you oughta know.
I tell ya Park Avenue leads to Skid Row."

I look and see it's not only me
We're standing tall ain't never a doubt
We are the young, so shout it out

They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild

They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild
Whoa whoa whoa
We are the youth gone wild
Whoa whoa whoa
We are the youth gone wild
Yeah yeah yeah
We are the youth gone wild
Whoa whoa whoa
We are the youth gone wild

"Wings For The Sake Of Falling"

Kiss goodbye, to the poetic letters, the symptoms
Of being able to breathe without a care
Cushion the screaming, it's merely conversation in regards to
Speaking for the sake of concern

Take the flight of a butterfly, drop dead
Hear the whisper of the bullet's pace
Have you ever felt; heartbreak, bullet, kiss your heart?
Scream goodbye
You're dropping dead
And it's all over

Say hello, to the clock counting down the seconds
The bullets pace, your beating heart point A, point B!
Let's see how quick you are,
Whether you'll risk it all on the line just to gain some ground
To show you can soak up the shots fired

Take the flight of a butterfly, drop dead
Hear the whisper of the bullet's pace
Have you ever felt; heartbreak, bullet, kiss your heart?

Butterfly, you gotta race the bullet's pace
Butterfly, you gotta race the bullet's whisper
Butterfly, don't fall, gotta keep up the chase
Just scream goodbye
Bleed, butterfly whisper gotta crack break drop dead
Bleed, butterfly whisper gotta fracture
Bleed, butterfly whisper gotta crack break drop dead

"I Was Once Possible, Maybe, Perhaps A King"

I see myself there waiting by the roadside
Laid claim to nothing but a black bag and the attire I stand in
No name, no history
Just a target on my temple and a hole in my head
I could've been one of kings
The shell of a boy of the man that I used to be
A monkey in a man suit
I stand here as nothing to you
Wind me up and watch me go
Lay down your guns
Cut me from ear to ear
Eye for an eye
The glass is long gone broken
I walk this road alone
No thanks to you
Load up your six-shot baby
Put it to my head
Pull the trigger, blank I'd figured
Put it to me, dead
Lay your guns down let me die (scars)
Why can't you just let me die (don't)
Lay your guns down let me die (heal)
Why can't you just let me die (when)
Lay your guns down let me die (you keep)
Scars don't heal when you keep cutting
Always cutting
Cutting deeper
Always deeper
Scars don't heal when you keep cutting

"Gramophone Elegance"

Paint your lips blue
Murder artistry
Heartbreak and romance
The cold is what you need for events such as this
It's better being numb if you're cracking at the heart
Pick up the rhythm, the timing that you'll need
Tonight's final serenade, it's time to take your leave

Dance the routine
And your romance is warm inside
Your heartbeat's racing
Heartbreak is cold when you
Don't dance, dream, sing our song

Come get some
Everything stops
Everything starts
Give me your hand
One on one
Two on two
Three on three
Dance step four
The cold is what you need for events such as this
It's better being numb if you're breaking at the heart
Pick up the rhythm, the timing that you'll need
Tonight's final serenade, it's time to take your leave

Dance the routine
And your romance is warm inside
Your heartbeat's racing
Heartbreak is cold when you
Don't dance dream sing our song

Poetic whispers of romance
Fill the dancing midnight air
Dance
Dance
Blood stained glass, shattered hopes
And dancing dreams in your head
I can't seem to find my steps
In this murder
