LYRICS

"Heartbeat"

You wanna feel it like you felt it on the first try

You know they got it from a hotel on the east side

I need a heartbeat, a comeback baby

I need a heart attack to wake me up, save me

Some self destruction with a cherry on the whipped cream

I’m so excited I don’t know if I can keep it clean

You’re interrupting and that’s something I can do without

Is there something that we really need to talk about

I need to find

I need to find

You wanna feel it like you felt it on the first try

You know they got it from a hotel on the east side

I need a heartbeat, a comeback baby

I need a heart attack to wake me up, save me

I wanna feel it like I felt it on the first try

Maybe it’s true what they say

We weren’t raised right

I know what’s coming but it doesn’t change anything

I wanna feel it and it’s gonna be the death of me

I need to find a heartbeat

You see a monster

I see it too

You see a monster

But I’m not, I’m not like you

What am I supposed to do

Who decides

What am I supposed to do

Who decides

You wanna feel it like you felt it on the first try

You know they got it from a hotel on the east side

I need a heartbeat, a comeback baby

I need a heart attack to wake me up, save me

I need to find

I need to find, I

I need to find a heartbeat

3-2-Wake Up

When I saw

When I saw your face tonight

I nearly fell down

Yeah it hit me like a bolt of lightning

How did you find out

That you’re so beautiful

You are everything I thought you could be

I guess you threw out

That old suitcase full of hand me down delusions

I know the world is a whale and it’s swallowing you

Hold onto me and you’ll see

That it doesn’t matter

I know the way you thought it should it be

And oh how it hurts you so

Listen for me

I count back from 3-2-wake up

Baby let’s go

When you called

When i heard your voice tonight

I nearly broke down

I am never one to take things lightly

But hey i’m ready to start

I’m ready to start it all over

I’m ready to start it all over

I know the world is a whale and it’s swallowing us

Hold onto me and you’ll see

That it’s getting better

You’re kicking rocks with no shoes or socks

It makes for a hard walk home

Listen for me

Listen for me

I count back from 3-2-wake up

Baby let go

And you wanted you wanted it, oh

I know the world is a whale and it’s swallowing you

Hold onto me and you’ll see

That it doesn’t matter

Look at the sun girl

That’s your reflection

When will you give yourself some affection

Listen for me

I count back from 3-2-1

Baby let go

Poison Arrows

the moon is out
so we get dressed
and we’re looking good baby not our all time best
our time is now
or has it passed
and does it matter anymore when it’s raining poison arrows

i don’t know how
but we still exist
oh bleeding hearts throwing sucker punches with angry fists

our time is now
or has it passed and does it matter does it matter

here comes another one about how hard it is to live
here comes another song about how hard it is to live in hollywood

where its raining poison arrows oh yes its raining poison arrows and we’re all running for cover underneath each other

staying out all night
you hold your lover’s back to the sky

now don’t you frown you’re no supermodel you don’t look so pretty when you pout

our time is now
it hasn’t passed
but we’re coming down fast

here comes the last time you’ll see the sky from up this high

here comes the last time you’ll see the sky this high in hollywood

All there is

if this is all there is
then take me out
i’ve had all i care for
for crying out loud
hold me now, today, right here hold me now before i disappear

yeah i don’t think i know
what it means to succeed
or if it even means that much to me anymore the romance in the trees and rivers
cheese and liver
we shared with sleazy sinners
seemed richer when we were poor

if this is all there is
then take me out
i’ve had all i care for
for crying out loud
hold me now, today, right here hold me now before i disappear

but i
i have been filthy rich with love before
and how
i’d love to be filthy rich again
but love won’t let me sit at it’s table
and it won’t let me crawl into its bed
no, it holds me out with it’s two fingers
just about as far away as it can hold me from it

my apologies i’m overflowing

my emptiness spilling out and onto the rest
i’m makin a mess
and somewhere
i seemed to have picked up a virus, a sickness that somehow

can free you from the fear of death and until it’s over
it’s endless

Lost Dogs

lost dogs
they’re not always found lost dogs
they’re not always found

lost dogs, they go no place to be they just sniff around
lost dogs, they got no place to sleep find the warmest place on the ground

they’re not runaways
they’re just on the move they’re alone
they’re alone just like you are

lost dogs
they’re not always found lost dogs
they’re not always found they’re not runaways they’re just on the move they forget the past they’re just trying to last

i’ll never be where you are i think i’ve wandered too far i still remember your voice but not the conversation it’s in the back of my mind it’s in the dregs of my heart

i hope the beauty isn’t just my imagination last night i had a dream
i was dressed like a bride
i stood in front of a preacher

but no one stood by my side
the preacher told me a joke
i laughed so hard i cried
i don’t remember the joke
just how he butchered the punchline

Fatal Flaw

i wanna go to your carnival lemme eat the cotton candy lemme get on top
big top

i wanna go to your church
come on hang me from your crooked cross

i wanna drink from the fountain of you be your dog
i can be your fatal flaw

you tear me apart
tear me apart
tear me apart
but i got nothing but love for your pain

i wanna fight for your army
i wanna fight for your honor
don’t need to medal
no recognition
just let me hide in the hole
where you store your ammunition

i got nothin but love nothin
i got nothing but love for your pain

you tear me apart tear me apart

tear me apart.....

box me up
if i seem like i’m gonna blow it and if you ever ever care for me i pray to God you never show it come on now chew me up
don’t you ever spit me out when you scold me
i love the sound...

Vigilante

it’s not love
it’s not the start or the end of the world
it’s not the spark that breaks or mends your heart it’s the moment right before it

ordinary people
i wish you were here why aren’t you here why did we fall apart what were we thinking

we let it spin us around so fast we went flying
splattered against the world we splattered against the world we lost our grip

do you remember
i remember feeling my fingers slip

it’s not love
it’s not the start or the end of the world it’s the moment right before it
it’s the moment right before the moment you’ve been dreading or waiting for
but that was then and here we are today ordinary people prepared to look away

as for me i’m gonna take up with a vigante as for me i’m gonna take up with a vigante make all my best friends vampires

make all my best friends vampires make all my best friends vampires make all my best friends vampires oh and we go flying

we splattered against the world we splattered against the world we lost our grip
do you remember

i remember feeling my fingers slip
