Sometimes life it takes you by the hair.
It pulls you down before you know it
It’s gone and you’re dead again.
I’ve been in places and I won’t pretend
Yeah, I'd make it out just to fall on my head
Wake up strange and take the walk downstairs
Hit the pawn up on the corner and pay for my rent
You know that I could not believe my own truth
Just show them what I choose, got nothing to lose
Yeah yeah and it’s O.K.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don’t fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I’m alright.
I took a sip of something poison but I’ll hold on tight.
You know those days when you want to just choose
To not get out of bed, you're lost in your head again.
You play the game but you kind of cut
’Cause you’re coming down hard and your joints are all stuck.
I've tried to say that’s not the only way
I never knew if I could face myself to change.
You were pacing I was insecure.
Slip and fall, I'm dodging calls, hug the prison I've been living in.
Yeah yeah and it’s O.K.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don’t fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I’m alright.
I took a sip of something poison but I’ll hold on tight.

"Pumped Up Kicks"
Brother's got a quick hand.
He'll look around the room, he won't tell you his plan.
He's got a rolled cigarette, hanging out his mouth he's a cowboy kid.
Yeah, he found a six shooter gun.
In his dad's closet hidden with a box of fun things, and I don't even know what.
But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you.
[Chorus: x2]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, faster than my bullet.
Daddy works a long day.
He'll be coming home late, he's coming home late.
And he's bringing me a surprise.
'Cause dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice.
I've waited for a long time.
Yeah the sleight of my hand is now a quick-pull trigger,
I reason with my cigarette,
And say your hair's on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah.
[Chorus: x2]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, faster than my bullet.
[Whistling]
[Chorus: x4]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, faster than my bullet.

"Call It What You Want"
Call it what you want
Call it what you want
I said just call it what you want
Call it what you want
Yeah we're locked up in ideas
We like to label everything
Well I'm just gonna do here what I gotta do here
'Cause I gotta keep myself free
You're ducking and moving just to hide your bruises from all your enemies
And I'm in the crossfire dodging bullets from your expectancies
We've got nothing to lose
You better run and hide
Yeah you've crossed the line
I've got a knife behind my back (just sayin')
We've got nothing to prove
Your social guides give you swollen eyes
But what I've got can't be bought so you can just
Call it what you want
Call it what you want
I said just call it what you want
Call it what you want
You've taken your words and you take your judgments
And stick them onto everything
If it don't conform to what you were born into,
Then you run the other way
You say, "now what's your style and who do you listen to?" who cares?
Well that rat race ladder-climbing fake-face smile's got nothing on me
We've got nothing to lose
You better run and hide
Yeah you've crossed the line
I've got a knife behind my back (just sayin')
We've got nothing to prove
Your social guides give you swollen eyes
But what I've got can't be bought so you can just
Call it what you want
Call it what you want
I said just call it what you want
Call it what you want

| "Color On The Walls (Don't Stop)"
Walk little walk
Small talk big thoughts
Gonna tell them all just what I want
That street two streets I see you and me
Hanging on the empty swings
Count high low don't worry my eyes are closed
I'm a superman and it's my show
One shoe two
Gonna kick with my new shoes
I'm going to kick until I need new shoes
Yeah, yeah
I said uh-don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Talkin' to me
Stop, don't stop, don't stop
Giving me things
I run they run everybody run run
And we're all just having fun
Sleigh ride boat ride piggy back ride
I'm going to show them all how I can ride
One two three close your eyes and count to four
I'm gonna (I'd like) to hide behind my bedroom door
Crayons on walls
I'll color on them all
I'll draw until I've broken every law
Yeah, yeah
I said uh-don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Talkin' to me
Stop, don't stop, don't stop
Giving me things
Stop, don't stop, don't stop
Laughin' about it
Stop, don't stop, don't stop
Don't stop
[Instrumental break]
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Talkin' to me
Stop, don't stop, don't stop
Giving me things
Stop, don't stop, don't stop
Laughin' about it
Stop, don't stop, don't stop
I said uh- don't stop, don't stop, don't stop [x4]

"Waste"
I'll hold your hand when you are feeling mad at me
Yeah when the monsters they won't go away,
The windows are closed,
I'll pretend to see what you see
"How long?" I say, how long will you relive the things that are gone?
Oh yeah, The devil's on your back but I know you can shake him off
And every day that you want to waste, that you want to waste, you can
And every day that you want to wake up, that you want to wake, you can
And every day that you want to change, that you want to change, yeah
I'll help you see it through 'cause I just really want to be with you
You know it's funny how freedom can make us feel contained
Yeah When the muscles in our legs aren't used to all the walking
I know if you could snap both your fingers that you'd escape with me
But in the meantime, I'll just wait here and listen to you when you speak... or scream
And every day that you want to waste, that you want to waste, you can
And every day that you want to wake up, that you want to wake, you can
And every day that you want to change, that you want to change, yeah
I'll help you see it through 'cause I just really want to be with you
The truth cuts us and pulls us back up
And separates the things that look the same
Then you can fight it off, you can fight it off, you can
And every day that you want to waste, that you want to waste, you can
And every day that you want to wake up, that you want to wake, you can
And every day that you want to change, that you want to change, yeah
I'll help you see it through 'cause I just really want to be with you

Never wanna get in the way, I said it

But you can share with me, ‘cause I’ll
Be listening here,
To everything you say, I won’t turn away
And I will listen, open up my heart and
I must say that I love you, so
Oo la love, I’ve fallen in love, and it’s better this time than ever before
Oo la love, I’ve fallen in love, and it’s better this time than I’ve ever known
Every day is a battle I face
Strange life i live but its what you've decided
I’ll give it all into your hands,
Do what you will with me, and oh

Remember all those times I was hoping for something
And shaking my head from all I have done
But you never left me
Oo la love, I’ve fallen in love, and it’s better this time than ever before
Oo la love, I’ve fallen in love, and it’s better this time than I’ve ever known
Oo la love, I’ve fallen in love, and it’s better this time than ever before
Oo la love, I’ve fallen in love, and it’s better this time than I’ve ever known
Give it up for you, I would give it up for you
I would give it up for you, I’d do anything for you
Oo la love, I’ve fallen in love, and it’s better this time than ever before
Oo la love, I’ve fallen in love, and it’s better this time than I’ve ever known
Oo la love, I’ve fallen in love, and it’s better this time than ever before
Oo la love, I’ve fallen in love, and it’s better this time than I’ve ever known
I have fallen in love
I have fallen in love
I have fallen in love

Rise above, gonna start the war!
What you want, what you need, what'd you come here for?
Well, eye for an eye and an 'F' for fight
They're taking me down as a prisoners riot
I've got shackles on, my words are tied
Fear can make you compromise
Fasten up, it's hard to hide
Sometimes I want to disappear
When I feel kinda bad and don't want to stress
I just pass it off on ability
Well you got what you want, and what you never knew
Perfect gift from me to you
Yeah yeah yeah
Got shackles on, my words are tied
Fear can make you compromise
Fasten up, it's time to hide
Sometimes I want to disappear
(Raise up to your ability)
You never knew what I could find
What could come when we realize
I don't want to compromise
(Raise up to your ability)
Yeah I'm scared but I disappear
Running around before I promise you
Like he's someone whose lost his way
(Raise up to your ability)
I know that you want me
'Cause it's simple to see of my ability
(Raise up to your ability)
Yeah you're undecided
Yeah it's the right feeling
Yeah I don't wanna runaway
You gotta focus on your ability
Focus on your ability
You gotta focus on your ability
Focus on your ability
Then they can't get what they want to steal
Can't get what they want to steal
Then they can't get what they want to steal
Can't get what they want to steal | |

| "Life On The Nickel"
Yet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]
But I can't seem to catch a dime
Take a little hit and I lose the time
I took the man and his horse
And ran before he looked up
I said the light's gonna change
But I'm calm and feeling warm
And now I'm sticking out my hands
And feeling weightless again
You got to push, got to shove
I've got to eat before they eat me
Got the crown and the cup
I've got to write to my family
And say, "I'm calm and feeling warm."
I'm not quite there, but I'm close
And it's a world of a difference
Yet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]
But I can't seem to catch a dime
Take a little hit and I lose the time
I've got the worst all behind me
Yeah they'll never be able to find me
I'm the king of the city
I'm a roach and they're all primates
This is meal time
Real life
I'm not gonna fight
No, I'm gonna start a war
I've been right
I've been wrong
My smokes have come and gone
I've been crazy
Been fed enough to not wind up dead
And I'm lonely
My eyes have been closed to the world
'Cause the world's got nothing for me
Yet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]
But I can't seem to catch a dime
Take a little hit and I lose the time
Yet again, I'm hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]
But I can't seem to catch a dime
Take a little hit and I lose the time
Yet again, I'm hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]

"Miss You"
Forget your problems
Lay it down, they start up
The innocence of what you are is what I want
I've ran my colors dripped down and drained out
Tried a million things, but my heart's been shot
Well I hope you try to find me, I'm all spun and pacing
I know what you want to say here, so say it
Forget the words speaking
Just want to rearrange so I'll just say it
Oooooooooooh yeah.
I really miss you, I miss you, I said
Smile at the chance just to see you again
I really miss you miss you, I said
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Beat stroking this like
The wrong things that I think are right
I never that knew I could go as far as this
I took a problem recently forgotten
Don't know who I had been before I slipped
Oh, I want to change it
I will live a life that makes you smile
When I'm done here and long gone
Feverish and peaking, just wanna see your face
Oh, What you say, what you say?
Oh yeah
I really miss you I miss you, I said
Smile at the chance just to see you again
I really miss you miss you, I said
So Look at me now
Before I walk away
You just might miss me or miss me one day
Yeah Yeah Yeah

Well I've been judged I've been a bug unknown
I know all about it but my heart is strong
I've been away been running to save my head
Yeah the warrant's out and I'm almost dead
I won't say what I've already said
[x2:]
Got to get away
Yeah, the warrants on my head
Got to get away
They want me alive or dead
I've thought a lot about the way that they fight
Come through the phone lines, not man enough to face me
I can stop or argue about what they say
Yeah the warrant's out and I'm not gonna pay
I said what I'm gonna say
[x2:]
Got to get away
Yeah, the warrants on my head
Got to get away
They want me alive or dead
Fear is like a fake friend
It warms you up and takes you in
You mouth the words but no sound comes out
Fear is like your best friend
Manipulates and takes you in
You mouth the words
No sound again
But you don't know better
You don't know better
[x4:]
Got to get away
Yeah, the warrants on my head
Got to get away
They want me alive or dead

"Broken Jaw"
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
I've broken every law
All the words come out my broken jaw
I don't know anything
But then I act like I know everything
Don't want to talk about it
What do you see when you dream about it?
I had been broke down from my enemies
Holding the piece of what's been left of me
And then you take it away
Everyday I'm fighting 'cause I can't read you
Lost in the moment, then I come back down
Lost in the sight I try to reach out
Just a little bit closer, then I come back down
You tell me,"What's my name?"
I'm the same I've just been rearranged
Smile to a joke inside
Yeah, I've been hiding with nothing to hide
Don't want to talk about it
What do you see when you dream about it?
I had been broke down from my enemies
Just holding a piece of what's been left of me
And then you take it away
Everyday I'm fighting 'cause I can't read you
Lost in the moment, then I come back down
Lost in the sight I try to reach out
Just a little bit closer, then I come back down
Pushing me, pushing me
I can feel it, yeah
Just a little bit higher, then I come back down
Climbing over people 'cause I've nothing
I'm waiting, waiting around
Sometimes, you find yourself waiting,
Waiting for someone to come around
And it's hopless, hoping to be found
Then it arrives and says, "You're perfect, my love"
And I,
I know why
I know why
I know why
But you said, "I don't know"
You said,"I don't know"
You said,"I don't know"
You said,"I don't know, you don't know" [x3]
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
So take it away, yeah
When you find and heal my broken jaw, yeah
Lyin' near where I slayed my hero, yeah
What you need is hiding in yourself, yeah

Through the night's parade
I shake a hand or two
I tip my hat to you
I'm always runnin' and a-jumpin'
Like a fool who would do
On through the wild, I see her
She sees me
we could be something, it's exciting
I wanna run away
But I don't move, I stay

You you you were meant for me

Love, love, love

Sarah, she's a cougar
Got moves like barracudas
On the hunt for the ones
That look under twenty two years
Got her head up high
High heels that match her thighs
And she be spending lots of money
Her friends, think she's real funny
She says "hey look at me"
"You will see that I'm a queen"
Got experience to give up
Like you never lived
But all the boys just run
She never has a fun
Oh yeah, but Sarah

Cause she's hoping for
Love, love, love
It could be a wonderful thing

| "Chin Music For The Unsuspecting Hero"
Today I walked through the door and fell down on my floor
Got all of my papers out and read them
Seems that I've been wanderin' for a little too long
Yeah, the desert can be hot if you're wasted
Took a stab in the dark and missed again I believe
The hardest part is not seein' what I used to see
My faith grew to a top but worry does all it can
To whisper in both my ears make-believe stories
Where are my friends now?
They're not around when I need them
I cannot pretend
I find myself against all the odds again
Well I like to think I'm strong and then I'm proven wrong
Grab the keys to my car and go to work again
Yeah showed up late, got screamed in my face
Turn around, I'm punch drunk, but I'm laughin'
Got some thoughts in my chest, they're playin' games with my head
Ten hours of sleep, I'm in my bed again
Scream up to my God, say, "I do what I can"
How am I gonna move on from this circumstance?
Where are my friends now?
They're not around when I need them
I cannot pretend
I find myself against all the odds again
Yeah, yeah
I'm against all the odds again
