Alkaline Trio Album

You hit me just like heroin.
I feel you coursing through my veins.
I won't try to kick this addiction.
I swear I'll never kick again, won't ever kick again, no.

This addiction.
Can't seem to live without you.
This addiction,
Now going clean.
This addiction,
Go through, it's all without you.
Stick with this addiction in me.

Well, those others were like methadone
I took to get me through the day.
Now I'm trying to find my way back home,
Staying clean along the way.
Hold out for the real thing, yeah.

This addiction.
Can't seem to live without you.
This addiction,
Now going clean.
This addiction,
Go through, it's all without you.
Stick with this addiction in me.

This addiction.
This addiction.
This addiction.
Go off the roads without you.
Stick with this addiction in me.

Don't leave me alone,
I'm waiting for this to be,
The last thing that i see.
Well if the drugs were good,
Then I probably could, get a couple more days,
But the drugs are lame.

So I'm looking for you to be,
The very last thing I see,
Before I up and fly away.
I'm counting on you to help push me through,
With something good to remember on my red letter days.

Don't worry,
I only fear the good things.

So let's dine, dine, dine my darling,
Let's have our last supper, a toast to lovers
And we'll dance real sweet and slow.
And then kiss, kiss, kiss, to the last clock tick
A final lip seal when I'm done,
And you can leave my last prayer floating in your lungs.

I've tried a lot of things because of you,
You make me tell the truth,
You taught me to dream like a man.
You rescued my tail from between my legs,
Now if I can kick it I am.
And I'm taking these words with me when I go over,
To the other side.
I'll be waiting on you,
But don't show up too soon,
I'll be bored as heaven but I'll be alright.

Let's dine, dine, dine my darling,
Let's have our last supper, a toast to lovers
And we'll dance real sweet and slow.
And then kiss, kiss, kiss, to the last clock tick
A final lip seal when I'm done,
And you can leave my last prayer floating in your lungs.
Floating in your lungs.

So let's dine, dine, dine my darling,
Let's have our last supper, a toast to lovers
And we'll dance real sweet and slow.
And then kiss, kiss, kiss, to the last clock tick
A final lip seal when I'm done,
And you can leave my last prayer floating in your lungs.

Choking slowly, brokenhearted
Don't look now, here's what you started
I swore I'd be there 'til the end, we're bitter now but better friends
I climbed out limbless to the ledge to bask in my last true regret

Lay my heavy head here down to sleep
And I'll pray to a brass fist my soul to keep
Lay my heavy head here down to dream
And wake up with this lead poisoning

Sobbing softly, lost and hollow
This fever dream's a pill to swallow
I swore I'd be there 'til the end, you're better off, your bitterness
I climbed out lifeless to the edge, I waved goodbye and left, I...

Lay my heavy head here down to sleep
And I'll pray to a brass fist my soul to keep
Lay my heavy head here down to dream
Awaken to the blood and sweat and screams

Woke up here on Monday morning, this old street, on this dark corner
Waiting here for what tomorrow brings
Silver lake, mercury mining, this mistake, no silver lining
Waiting for a bullet train to bring me my lead poisoning

My lead poisoning

Lay my heavy head here down to sleep
And I'll pray to a brass fist my soul to keep
Lay my heavy head here down to dream
And wake up with this lead poisoning

Like two ships in the night we're colliding and sinking
Into the black sea of our love
Navigated past the point of logical thinking
Lost sight of the stars up above

Now my heart is a mess, murder scene in my chest
Not a clue how you got through the door
But I'm glad that you came, no regret and no shame
As I'm lying here dead on floor

I took a blind leap of faith, it's now crashing and burning
With my heart fast asleep in your bed
I got on the ground safe but with my insides turning
And a picture of you in my head

And as I wandered away, deep in shock and dismay
In a daze, just repeating your name
Well the fact of the matter is both our hearts shatter
Way too goddamn easily

When you asked me if I'd stay forever, guess you meant just for the week
We felt so good together, it was way too good to be
When I left you there early that morning, my darling, I told you that I'd miss you so
I got on that plane with my heart soaring but now it's falling like snow

Like two ships in the night we're colliding and sinking
Into the black sea of our love
Navigated past the point of logical thinking
Lost sight of the stars up above

Now my heart is a mess, murder scene in my chest
Not a clue how you got through the door
But I'm glad that you came, no regret and no shame
As I'm lying here dead on floor

When you asked me if I'd stay forever, guess you meant just for the week
We felt so good together, it was way too good to be
When I left you there early that morning, my darling, I told you that I'd miss you so
I got on that plane with my heart soaring but now it's falling like snow

Now it's falling like snow
Now it's falling like snow
Falling like snow

They tied that yellow ribbon 'round the oak tree
And they've worn out all the prayer in their hearts
All along thought they were rooting for the home team
As they're sent into the game and torn apart

With twists this turn a kid upon the pipeline
Who carries all the pain in the world
As we blindly clap and cheer from the sidelines, it's clear
On a losing streak from the very start

And that's where they found me
In the cemetery
A smoking gun in my hand, now I'm damned for the land of the free
Sing with me, the American scream

They took that faded ribbon off the oak tree
And they've worn out all the hope in their hearts
All along thought I was doing the right thing
Now I'm lying in a pool of my blood

And that's where she found me
In the cemetery
A smoking gun in my hand, now I'm damned for the land of the free
Sing with me

And that's where they found me
In the cemetery
A smoking gun in my hand, now I'm damned for the land of the free
Sing with me, the American scream

The American scream

And that's where they found me
In the cemetery
A smoking gun in my hand, now I'm damned for the land of the free
Sing with me, the American scream

I needed more wine, you needed more sleep
We just fought two hours and seven minutes, honestly I'm surprised we made it
I retire to my chair, I grab my new guitar
But I can't make a sound, you could hear poisonous pins dropping all around like rain

But I can ride this storm out
Because I'm like a junkie for your smart mouth

See I'm so far off the map the sun is shining
While it's raining and I'm draped in silver lining
And I can row, row, row my boat back to shore someday
So are you coming with me? Anchors away

I loosen my lips and the truth slips out
A free ride on a forked tongue, the twine of trust is unspun
I could start to believe that's what you need from me
So far from what I want for you, but I lock it down and we'll make do

You're right, there's only one real option
And I'm here now, so help me keep my voice down

See I'm so far off the map the sun is shining
While it's raining and I'm draped in silver lining
And I can row, row, row my boat back to shore someday
So are you coming with me? Anchors away

Yeah, I'm so far off the map the sun is shining
While it's raining and I'm draped in silver lining
And I can row, row, row my boat back to shore someday
So are you coming with me? Anchors away

What ever happened to Wonderland; Where'd Alice go? Oh

I took a night dream with knife in hand;
And cut out to the next show, back in her living hell.
I wish to dwell, I long to be, in the blood and the guts with the Birds of prey and the stinging of bees; and bullets baby

Leave heaven behind for good this time, the angels can keep it.
I've got a demon in mind, and she's standing behind my dark secret.
Draculina!

What ever happened to wonderland? No one really knows, no.

Draculina had her teeth sinking deep in me,
From the get to the go; Back in her living hell.
I wish to dwell, I long to be, in the blood and the guts with the Birds of prey and stinging of bees; and bullets baby.

Leaving heaven behind for good this time, the angels can keep it.
I've got a demon in mind and she's standing behind my dark secret.
Oh-Draculina leavin' heaven behind for good this time, the angels Can keep it.
I've got a devil inside that has been excorcised, now I'm bleeding.
For Draculina - uh oh oh

Woah, oh oh
Woah, oh oh

Draculina, Draculina

Woah, oh oh
Woah, oh oh
Woah, oh oh

Draculina, Draculina

I'm leaving heaven behind for good this time, the angels can keep it.
I've got a demon in mind, and she's standing behind my dark secret.
Oh-Draculina leavin' heaven behind for good this time, the angels Can keep it.
I've got a devil inside that has been excorcised, now I'm bleeding.
For Draculina - uh oh oh

Woah, oh oh
Woah, oh oh

Draculina, Draculina

Woah, oh oh
Woah, oh oh
Woah, oh oh

Draculina, Draculina!

well i found you outside like a sunrise you melted my eyes from my skull as i turned into ash befor my sweet demise the end of me was so beautiful

now your stuck in my head like a love song climbed to the top of the charts how the fuck can something be so right and so wrong all the wrong words but all the right parts

(chorus) you can sit there and tell me that i didnt try and i can honestly tell you that i never lied i cant stand this dark ferling the shark eating me up inside eating me alive eating me alive

well i found you out there in the moonlight in your eyes there were diamonds like stars i was found by your father the jewel thief that night as you said he was still behind bars

now your stuck in my head like a love song the words i can never forget as i sucked on your neck for way too lond and drained you of every last drop you had left

(CHORUS)

Here lies out homisidal story sad but true (sad but true) the time has come and gone that id do anything for you

(CHORUS)

Well, I'm piss and vinegar again
And I hiss and I rattle and shed
And I encircle you like a bird on a school
As you slowly fight your way to shore

Well, I'm piss and vinegar again
And I needed this like a new hole in the head
Hiding out in the drink, floating, waiting to sink
My great white teeth into your white bones

With an ache in my heart and a thorn in my side
I've got nowhere to run, no place left to hide
I got a burning temptation, like clockwork orange of a sign
Feels like it's raining all the time

Well, I'm piss and vinegar again
'Cause I feel like I lost my best friend
And at the end of the day, once it's all down the drain
I'll be fine, I'll be fine

With an ache in my heart and a thorn in my side
I've got nowhere to run, no place left to hide
I got a burning temptation, like clockwork orange of a sign
Feels like it's raining all the time

Now this supernatural disaster
Found me quickly but left even faster
Now I'm sick with the sight of the plaster
This old familiar feeling is bleeding me dry

With an ache in my heart and a thorn in my side
I've got nowhere to run, no place left to hide
I got a burning temptation, like clockwork orange of a sign
Feels like it's raining all the time

Like the flutter of your fingertips,
Like the flickering of lights,
They've got their bright ideas but we've got bigger fish to fry.

Found you out there on your doorstep,
Undressed to the nines.
From your Sunday best, black and blue velvet dress.
Your head's a mess and so is mine.

Oh Dorothy, I'm coming home,
I hope you're waiting there.
I know times have been tough on you,
It's all downhill from here.
Oh Dorothy, inside that dreadful place deep in your heart,
It's beckoning, I'm racing to your doorway Dorothy.
Dorothy.

Like the scratching sounds of insects,
Beneath the blades and soil.
We'll begin the plot to get away,
To ends as black as oil.
Now it's bounding in the ear,
Left in left field for you to find.
Outside of your perifirals vision of this never ending night.

Oh Dorothy, I'm coming home,
I hope you're waiting there.
I know times have been tough on you,
It's all downhill from here.
Oh Dorothy, inside that dreadful place deep in your heart,
It's beckoning, I'm racing to your doorway Dorothy.
Dorothy.

It's a strange world isn't it?
Such strange times to be living in.
I had a change of heart tonight,
When I watched her walk into the light.
It's a strange world isn't it?
Such strange times to be living in.
I had a change of heart tonight,
When I watched her walk into the light.

I watched her walk into the light.

Oh Dorothy, I'm coming home,
I hope you're waiting there.
I know times have been tough on you,
It's all downhill from here.
Oh Dorothy, inside that dreadful place deep in your heart,
It's beckoning, I'm racing to your doorway Dorothy.
Dorothy.

It's gonna rain like this for days
I'm gonna drown in my old ways
But I'm fine, I'm fine

It's gonna hurt like hell when you pull back the hammer and fire
But I'm fine, I'm fine

You see a storm knocked out my super power
Now I sleep through thunder showers
Wake me when you learn to be cool
If I'm the captain of this boat
then all my shipmates are fools
and all the stars in the world
couldn't help me steer my way
out of this kiddie pool

I'm gonna wake up from this dream
with nightmares lined up on my street
But I'm fine. I'm fine
Needed a hand to keep my head up
so you put hooks in both my ears
and I'm fine, I'm fine

Yea it's a chronic pain in my ass
but no it's not a burden
It's ironic that I drink to
make my insides stop hurting
and it's a love that gives me heartburn
it's a song that makes my stomach turn
and I wouldn't trade my hand
for all the aces in the deck
