Early Birds
With their early burns
If you wake up early you will have much more to do
I've been getting used to counting all the circles that I've got on my eyes
You've been going out with tight tuxedo types you're a fan of British spies
The moss is growing fast on my other side grass but it's all the same to me
I'm upper middle class but I'll still be an ass complaining I'm not free
That's why I say
Early Birds
With their early burns
If you wake up early you will have much more to do
Early Birds
With their early burns
If you wake up early you will have much more to do
The rain's falling hard on my car from the nineties
Don't look now the suspension has killed me
Shall I compare your face to a winter's day
'Cause my shoulder's getting colder and it's bumming me out
And my hands are the icicles holding onto bicycles
But that's another story
Told from the lavatory
Of my second dormitory
I'll convert to Labrador Retriever
That's a dog
'Cause you know in the end it's always much easier
To live like an animal and sleep like a writer
Early Birds
With their early burns
If you wake up early you will have much more to do
Early Birds
With their early burns
If you wake up early you will have much more to do
I've been losing count of all the little freckles that you've got on your arms
You've been eating pills and I can tell it kills you that they do you no harm
I've been getting used to counting all the circles that you've drawn on my eyes
You've been going out out out out
That's why I'm singing like
Early Birds
With their early burns
If you wake up early you will have much more to do
Early Birds
With their early burns
If you wake up early you will have much more to do
Early Birds
With their early burns
If you wake up early you will have much more to do
Early Birds
With their early burns
If you wake up early you will have much more to do

I can't shake the creeping feeling
That domestic life is slowly beating away on me now
You can cut the claws and lock the chains up
But the death by boredom it just ain’t what it used to be now
It’s a dog eat dog eat cat out there
And the rock street back street shadow there is dim, it's fading
It’s shit like that that gets me going
Like your foam at mouth I'm overflowing I’m down, I'm jading away
Daddy always said I had nine lives now more than ever I have my doubts
Cause right about now I’m thinking I’m heading up straight to the box in the sky
Oh you and I stare down on deep blue seas
Where once Columbus sought to seize the land of many
And I think what a world to be if
I could only just be free no plans, no money
But as the rigor mortis sets in
I realize there’s no contesting time, it’s over
I’ll kiss all my dreams goodbye
And lean my head back as I fly with love, hungover, the edge
Daddy always said I had nine lives now more than ever I have my doubts
Cause right about now I’m thinking I’m heading up straight to the box in the sky
Oh you and I can’t fathom a world without a place to be and a thing to do
And I have trouble picturing a room where I can sing to you
But take my word for truth and fact and won’t you try to understand
There may be cuts and blisters on them but I need you to take my hand
Now thanks

Party on the Road

Climb aboard, we've got plenty of room
But we won't be getting anywhere anytime soon
We got some friends they're doing all they can
An Italian girl and a funny old man
And we want you
Because you belong
Introduce yourself
And sing along
It's a party on the road
Just a party on the road
You can nod your head or have a drink instead
But you're part of the party on the road
My name is Tom and our driver's Michelle
And every single one of us will see you in Hell
But still we're living our life and we're having a ball
Jammin' out to Ringo, George, John, and Paul
And we want you
Because you belong
Introduce yourself
And sing along
It's a party on the road
Just a party on the road
You can twist and shout or you can just black out
But you're part of the party on the road
And we want you
Because you belong
Introduce yourself
And sing along
It's a party on the road
Just a party on the road
You can brace yourself and disgrace yourself
But you're part of the party on the road

The Bedsheet Twist
03:48
|

|
You're going to the store today
You're gonna pick up some linens and some Apple Jacks
You only buy the highest thread count
Don't mess around, this is one third of your life
Her flight arrives at 6 pm
You're gonna pick her up and take her home with you
You planned a dinner and a film
You hope she still finds it cute the way you stare at her
But you can't dance
And you take her hand
And she goes for the kiss
And the next thing you know, you're doing the bedsheet twist
You haven't seen her in so long
You went to counting days like they were your sheep at night
You need a road map for her eyes
Rhythm was hard enough without the purple haze
You worked with straight lines for so long
Forgot the feel of curves and how they really blow your mind
She says she really likes your scent
You have no idea what she could be talking about
But you can't dance
And you take her hand
And she goes for the kiss
And the next thing you know, you're doing the bedsheet
You watch every video on the web
Throw out your shoes to clear your head
Your lips will bleed you'll think you're dead
No matter how you try and prepare
No class will ever make you aware
The tight and sloppy mess you'll find
And then you'll realize
That you can't dance
And you take her hand
And she goes for the kiss
And the next thing you know, you're doing the bedsheet twist

We were having a sound check
When a man came in the room
He said "Hey simpletons!
You need to change your tune
'Cause it's got no emotion
It's just a buzzing noise
Those things you've got are instruments
Don't treat them like toys"
Give me a high five
And a low five
We don't want to seem distinguished
It's nothing major
It's nothing minor
But our flame won't be extinguished
We make the music, we make the calls
So you can keep accusing
"Free advice is worth what you pay for"
We find that phrase amusing
Where's the mosh pit at symphonies?
The reaction from the crowd?
Beethoven wouldn't make it today
Because he never tried being loud
Give me a high five
And a low five
We don't want to seem distinguished
It's nothing major
It's nothing minor
But our flame won't be extinguished
Is that enough emotion for you?
Is everyone now all appeased?
If not, our condolences
And our apologies
High five
And a low five
We know we aren't distinguished
It's nothing major
It's nothing minor
But our flame won't be extinguished
And our flame won't be extinguished
And our flame won't be extinguished

How does it feel
To be alive
I'm sitting here looking through your pretty petty eyes
Your brain is cold
Your shoulders and knees
I bet that sounds pretty tough coming from Mr. Freeze
Cerebral cortex
A danger zone
I've been thinking too much enough to kill a goat
Radiation
And the plastic cards
You gotta bit too much silicone near your heart
But if you don't wanna go I don't wanna go with you
If you don't wanna go I don't wanna go with you
If you don't wanna go I don't wanna go with you
As long as you swear to waste all my time
What if we lived in a world
Ruled by tabloid boys and girls
With shirts too tight and pants too low
I'd hate to see that freak show
Harry Potter
And Futurama
I'll have the dead brain cells with a side of teenage drama
Inebriation
And the Twitter updates
I'll be the dog in the game laughing at your face
But the love/hate relationship is what keeps me going
The love/hate relationship is what keeps me going
The love/hate relationship is what keeps me going
As long as it's square I swear that I'll be fine
What if we lived in a world
Ruled by tabloid boys and girls
With shirts too tight and pants too low
I'd hate to see that freak show
1,2,3,4
I don't wanna put my clothes on
I named it all and now it's all gone
I'll sleep on Sundays if I want to
I know bad from good I don't need fruit
What if we lived in a world
Ruled by tabloid boys and girls
With shirts too tight and pants too low
I'd hate to see that freak show

Yesterday I threw out all my paper
My letters to you filled it up
I tried my hardest to drop my pencil
But my heart it just don't give up
I really wish I could rhyme to you
'Cause then you'd know how I feel
I really wish that you could see my face now
'Cause your lord above knows it's real
And I know you're not a fan
Of my awkward one-man band
And no matter who I am
I'll never be your perfect man
So don't pick up when I call you up
I don't really wanna talk to you right now
It's not like I miss you just yet
I decided to take a walk
And fill my chest with fresh air
After all when you left me girl
You took whatever else was in there
I don't need to explain myself
When I call you up at night
I don't need to pick vows for you
When all you're picking is fights
I know I had it coming to me
But hey we had our moments
It's too late to say I'm sorry
To save you from the torments
Don't pick up when I call you up
I don't really wanna talk to you right now
It's not like I miss you just yet
Don't pick up when I call you up
I don't really wanna talk to you right now
It's not like I miss you just yet
And I know you're not a fan
Of my awkward one-man band
And no matter who I am
I'll never be your perfect man

I've traveled across the world
Sharing my gift with the young and old
Crowds gather on the sidewalk and stare
My canvas any structure
The paint I use can come in any shade
An artist of abstract affairs
I'm humble, very modest
I'll pay for any cocktail tail in the house
I'll even light the rag just to be fair
Let me in so I can show you what this place is missing
Passion has no patience and I can't help but to turn around
Since wartime I've been
Working alone and with my craft that I do love
My breadth is the heat of the air
Life is so erratic,
One moment you're there and then you're gone
The least I can do is be there
They need me to light them
They're crying out to me inside their heads
My end would mean failure to all
Let me in so I can show you what this place is missing
Passion has no patience and I can't help but to bring you down
I will redefine snap, crackle, pop
A hint of gasoline to the cream of the crop
They say that you will burn if you play with the flame
Little do they know, that's all part of the game
Let me in so I can show you what this place is missing
Passion has no patience and I can't help but to turn around
I'll make the world a place of peace only by two flames kissing
Passion has no patience and I can't help but to burn it down

I had a dream about you yesterday
In which you gave me quite a scare
And I'm not sure if I woke up from it
'Cause you have on a fake smile and an empty stare
And your bedroom is covered with mirrors
On the ceiling, the walls, and the floor
And I know I should turn and walk away
But I'll stay and ask you what they're for
Pink camouflage, oh
Pink camouflage, ooh
Pink camouflage, oh
Pink camouflage, ah
I saw the photo of you yesterday
Your eyes are losing their shape
So put down what you know is killing you
And let us be your escape
There's an open safe in front of you
Yet you still cling to the key
And above, beneath, beside of you
All there is, and all you see is
Pink camouflage, oh
Pink camouflage, ooh
Pink camouflage, oh
Pink camouflage, whoa
Pink camouflage, oh
Pink camouflage, ooh
Pink camouflage, oh
Pink camouflage, ah

As I walk down to the record store
And my hands don't hurt me anymore
So I hold them out to feed the poor
But I lost my shoes there at the door
And I can't go home
'Cause I'm forced roam
This world at the speed sound
So I kept my phone
Because when in Rome
Your feet can't touch the ground
So when you see me flying by you don't you fear or hesitate
Just spin me off you like a dreidel but don't overestimate
Me
I don't wanna go home I don't wanna go homeI don't wanna go homeI don't wanna go home
I gotta night to explode but they say I can't go so I guess I'll reload take it back to the road
It goes a bit like this and I'm clenching my fist with a bottle of Coke
Take a look at the sky see stars can't lie as good as I do
So when you see me flying by you don't you fear or hesitate
Just spin me off you like a dreidel but don't overestimate
Me
Gotta bar full of change and a little bit of hate but it carries no weight to my undead fate
Finally crossed the line and it's half past nine but no rise and shine till the world is mine
I see a rat in the hole and he's eating my soul right out of my chest
So I find Bradstreet and together we beat down the iron fist
When does anxious turn to thrilling
When does thrilling turn out wrong
Toys and dolls are unfulfillling
When the mind is full of empty song
So when you see me flying by you don't you fear or hesitate
Just spin me off you like a dreidel but don't overestimate
Me

Scarlet the harlot knows many things
From what she's read in books to what she's picked up on the streets
Like science, reliance and discipline
But no one knows of this 'cause no one talks beneath the sheets
Freddy is ready to try again
His mind says go ahead but his stomach is in knots
He's writing and biting his fingernails
And his trash is piled high with characters and plots
They have a little money and a lot of time
But they don't know failure's not a crime
Pryor admires the silver screen
Ever since the age of five, he dreamed he'd make the best film yet
It now seems that his dreams aren't lucrative
As he blows out thirty candles, he wishes to forget
