I feel suspended, lifeless
Going through the motions
You're inside, outside
Waiting for the cars
Desperate measures
But it don't measure nothing
All the baggage left inside and nowhere left to fall
All your spaces
Darkened places
Come out
From it all
Let it shine on
Even when the day is done and all the light is gone
Let it shine on
You're running high but dark inside
What little light has left you and shines on
Talking senseless
Screaming from the benches
Looking forward
Not to fall behind
Look through lenses
Nothing ever cleanses
Your rained out visions
From a cloudy mind
All your spaces
Darkened places
Come out
From it all
Let it shine on
Even when the day is done and all the light is gone
Let it shine on
You're running high but dark inside
What little light has left you and shines on
I don't ever want to fade away
A burned out record that I can't play
Don't let me make the same mistakes
That you have made before
Nothing changes
Can't you face it
After all
Let it shine on
Even when the day is done and all the light is gone
Let it shine on
You're running high but dark inside
What little light has left you and shines on
. . .

I'd like to say for the record that I like how you walk
And how the all other girls shut their mouths when you talk
Your body's so black and our mind is too
I want to make a good connection when I plug into you
So come on and leave the lights on if that's your thing
It's better for the cameras if you know what I mean
So come on and leave the lights on if you want to see it all
Cuz everything else in the room is gonna be off
I want to feel like a kingdom when I come into you
I want to kneel at the alter your body dances to
I need to speak three languages all just to prove
That I am ??
I love the way that you move
So come on and leave the lights on if that's your thing
It's better for the cameras if you know what I mean
So come on and leave the lights on if you want to see it all
Cuz everything else in the room is gonna be off
I want a dirty little girl with the wife beater on
With the straps fallin off of her shoulders
So come on and leave the lights on if that's your thing
It's better for the cameras if you know what I mean
So come on and leave the lights on if you want to see it all
Cuz everything else in the room is gonna be off

Be yourself
and not somebody else
it might take some, a little effort
and maybe just a little help
but you can figure it out
if not
just do what everbody else does....
Oh, keep it on the level (if that's what I'm supposed to do)
keep on the level (if that's what they told me to)
I keep on getting in trouble
if I try to take this side of the road
So here's your hey hey hey (hey!), here's you ho ho ho (ho!)
I don't know where else to go
There's a really fine line between what's yours and what's mine
it's a line that I don't want to toe...
I'm sick of being haunted by every cliche that I know
Keep it real
whatever that means
even if your so young you've never seen a limousine
your gonna one day
just remember
never get in
and don't give up
cuz you know people are gonna care
if you just stop trying
and accept every dare
and if you can't seem to make it
maybe, maybe you should just try failure
Oh, keep it on the level (if that's what I'm supposed to do)
Oh, keep on the level (if that's the thing they told me to)
I keep on getting in trouble
if I try to take this side of the road
So here's your hey hey hey (hey!), here's you ho ho ho (ho!)
I don't know where else to go
There's a really fine line between what's yours and what's mine
it's a line that I don't want to toe...you know
I'm sick of being haunted by every cliche that I know
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh...
oh oh oh oh, oh aaaah!
Here's your hey hey hey (hey!), here's you ho ho ho (ho!)
I don't know where else to go
There's a really fine line between what's yours and what's mine
it's a line that I don't want to toe...you know
So here's your hey hey hey (hey!), here's you ho ho ho (ho!)
I don't know where else to go
There's a really fine line between what's yours and what's mine
it's a line that I don't want to toe...you know
I'm sick of being haunted by every cliche that I know
Oh oh...

Everybody likes an easy way out
Nobody tells it like it is no more
You took a hit and then you blew it out
The light inside that shined before
Never had a heart to love this much
Never felt enough to call it hate
If you can let a thing screw you up
It's not too late
It's always so close
Then you pull it away
And anything goes
Then it goes astray
And what are you left with at the end of the day
It's all love, it's all love, it's all love
Nothing left but the sound of doubt
Pouring out the heart that you live in
No one tried to help you figure it out
Does anybody see the signs you're given
Never had a heart that loved this much
Never felt enough to call it hate
If you can let a thing screw you up
It's not too late
It's always so close
Then you pull it away
And anything goes
Then it goes astray
And what are you left with at the end of the day
It's all love, it's all love, it's all love
Is anybody listening to what I'm trying to feel (I wish I knew)
Is anybody feeling anything that's real (I wish I knew)
Is anybody really gonna help me fill this hole inside of you
It's always so close
Then you pull it away
And anything goes
Then it goes astray
And what are you left with at the end of the day
It's all love, it's all love, it's all love
It's always so close
Then you pull it away
Anything goes
Then it goes astray
What are you left with at the end of the day?
It's all love, it's all love, it's all love

This is the first time that I've written out your name
This is the last time that I'll ever feel the same
Maybe I said too much but I don't care
You're acting still like I'm not there
Run, but you can't hide
Fall, but on whose side?
I'm broken, so deadly
You're just the one to fix it
You're calling, it's early
That feeling
God I miss it
Don't want to live without
Don't want to sit this out
Don't want to know if it's the last time I'll breathe you...in
Every word just turns a fire that you say
All I can do is light the fuse and walk away
But even I can't do that
I still back down
There's comfort in the silent ground
Run, but I can't hide
fall, but on her side
I'm broken, so deadly
You're just the one to fix it
You're calling, it's early
That feeling
God I miss it
Don't want to live without
Don't want to sit this out
Don't want to know if it's the last time I'll breathe you in
I'm broken, so deadly
You're just the one to fix it
I'm calling, it's early
That feeling
God I miss it
Don't want to live without
Don't want to sit this out
Don't want to know if it's the last time I'll breathe you...in
I'm broken, so deadly
You're just the one to fix it
I'm broken, so deadly
You're just the one to fix it
You're calling, it's early
That feeling, God I miss it
Don't want to know if it's the last time I'll breathe you...in...

Help me step away from the line
The one that's been drawn in front of me
Backed into this corner of mine
Taking off the blindfold just to see what's going on
Was it just a way for you to get the best of me
So come on, come on
I'm getting up cuz I've been down so long
I ain't a cheap trick bad dog you can drag along
No one seems to open their eyes
When the problems all hit the wall
It's easy just to let it slide
Light the bomb and say you never did it anyway
Was it just a way for you to get the best of me
So come on, come on
I'm getting up cuz I've been down so long
I ain't a cheap trick bad dog you can drag along
So come on, come on
I'm getting up cuz I've been down so long
I ain't a cheap trick bad dog you can drag along
Welcome to the revolution
We are the army of underdogs
Welcome to the revolution
Light the bomb and say you never did it anyway
Was it just a way for you to get the best of me
So come on, come on
I'm getting up cuz I've been down so long
I ain't a cheap trick bad dog you can drag along

We gotta call the doctor
I'm as sick as can be
Put my finger in the socket
Shocked the hell out of me
Got me dizzy from the drama
That is filling the air
I'm turning into nothing
I really don't care
When the lights are going out
It's all I can take
There's just something in the sound
Of an empty space
Feeling, watching, saying something
Creeping, touching, give me
Nothing
When the lights are going out
It's all I can take
There's just something in the sound
Of an empty space
. . .

All I want to say
Is you're the satellite
in my life
You don't have to lie
And you don't have to cry anymore
Then I hear you say
Let's live for the moment this time
Why don't you just make up your mind?
You make my head spin
You make my head spin
Why? Why do you?
You make my head spin
You make my head spin
Why? Why?
You love to build me up
Just to tear me down
Oh but why?
Wouldn't it be nice
If we found paradise someday
Then I hear you say
Let's live for the moment this time
Why don't you just make up your g*dd**n mind?
You make my head spin
You make my head spin
Why? Why do you?
You make my head spin
You make my head spin
Why? Why?
Did I hear you say
You want to be alone?
Was this a mistake?
How would we have known?
Well I can hear you scream at me
Scream at me!
I'm not perfect
I'm not perfect!
You make my head spin
You make my head spin
Why? Why do you?
You make my head spin
You make my head spin
Did I ever mean something
You make my head spin
Did I ever mean something
You make my head spin
....to you?
Why? Why do you?

Slowly I lift up the blinds
Another day away
Further from watching your eyes
Say what they wanted to say
Again
So did a chance pass us by
Cuz I can't seem to open your eyes
If you could see how this hurts
To feel only words
Dangerous, wonderful
I'm so invisible
Can you build me just to break me at last
Caged like an animal
This is so predictable
Are you falling cuz I'm falling so bad
Slowly you crept up behind
I wanted you to stay
Hiding the sex in your mind
Staring while they look away
Look away
So did a chance pass us by
Cuz I can't seem to open your eyes
If you could see how this hurts
To feel only words
Dangerous, wonderful
I'm so invisible
Can you build me just to break me at last
Caged like an animal
This is so predictable
Are you falling cuz I'm falling so bad
. . .

Every day is another excuse for me to figure it out
I'm a social disgrace
Not in this town can I just be
Gotta go down like I just won the race
Oh this will hurt
When you see the dark inside
We disconnect with no regrets just living lies
This city will burn
I want her back this time
I want her back I want her back
Oh it still hurts
Follow my head through a chain of events
Where I'm a fly on the wall in a circus of freaks
This place is so devil being lit up like matches
And I can't blow it out and it's torturing me
Oh this will hurt
When you see the dark inside
We disconnect with no regrets just living lies
This city will burn
I want her back this time
I want her back I want her back
Oh it still hurts
. . .

Welcome to the Dead Parade
Where no one marches to a leader
Welcome to the hand grenade that is my life
Pick up the pieces
I can't get out of this dream
I've been sleeping for days
Why does it rain on my parade
Everyday
Now I've been forced to break these chains
The living proof
I've continued singing
I'm sick and tired of everything
I've been ripped apart
But I'm still the same as before
Welcome to the Dead Parade
Where no one marches to a leader
Welcome to the hand grenade that is my life
Pick up the pieces
Welcome to the Dead Parade
Where no one marches to a leader
Welcome to the hand grenade that is my life
Pick up the pieces
I'm sick of the illusions
I'm sick of being made to walk on nails
And does anyone hear me
Does anyone care
Does anyone know the war in my head
I can't win
And no one knows
No one knows
No one knows how it can hard it can be to be me
See I'm known for now
But I'm no fool
Welcome to the Dead Parade
Where no one marches to a leader
Welcome to the hand grenade that is my life
Pick up the pieces
Welcome to the Dead Parade
Where no one marches to a leader
Welcome to the hand grenade that is my life
Pick up the pieces
I'm not gonna play the part
You can't break a broken heart
I'm not gonna play the part
You can't break a broken heart
My life is a roller coaster
Bonfires in my head
My life is a roller coaster
Bonfires in my head
. . .
