Better sit down baby, here come the bricks I'm gonna lay it on thick and I hope it sticks Just a little bit deeper take a peek inside Just a little bit deeper and you'll open wide So when your head is spinning and your shoes are off You get another inch closer and forget to stop When your heart rate's up all the walls come down There's a new fire burning on this side of town It's alright, hearts go bump in the night when you're around Feels so right, Earth and Heaven collide without a sound I just might earn my halo tonight We're not quite ready for the morning to bring us back to life Don't stop, angel, this is touch and go You got another thing coming, I got lots to show Just a little bit further than we've been before Just a little bit further and you'll beg for more So let your hair down, baby, you'll be stuck for good We're gonna shimmy, shimmy, shimmy like we know we should When the room heats up all the shades go down There's a new fire burning on this side of town It's alright, hearts go bump in the night when you're around Feels so right, Earth and Heaven collide without a sound I just might earn my halo tonight We're not quite ready for the morning to bring us back to life It's alright, hearts go bump in the night when you're around Feels so right, Earth and Heaven collide without a sound I just might earn my halo tonight We're not quite ready for the morning to bring us back Ready for the morning to bring us back Ready for the morning to bring us back to life

Devil 03:45
Everybody loves a martyr But you can keep your crown of thorns Stick the nails back in your garter 'Cause my palms are already torn It was the best of times, it was the worst of crimes I'm not running anymore I've got the devil off my back I've got two more on my shoulders They'll try to paint my vision black They'll have to wait 'til I'm a little bit older And I can deal with things like that Breathing in your second-hand sin You take the head-rush, I'll get the cancer Draw it slow and hold it in I won't be your easy answer It was the best of times, it was the worst of crimes We've been over this before I've got the devil off my back I've got two more on my shoulders They'll try to paint my vision black They'll have to wait 'til I'm a little bit older And I can deal with things like that One day the world just fell apart With stuttered songs of broken hearts There wasn't time to make a choice I heard the words but not the voice There wasn't time to make a choice I've got the devil off my back I've got two more on my shoulders They'll try to paint my vision black They'll have to wait 'til I'm a little bit older And I can deal with things like that

And everyone figures they know what you think 'Til the weekend arrives and you head out to drink The tears on your face tell them you're on the brink As you show off the scars on your skin 'Cause the saints are all damned and the angels are broken The words of redemption have yet to be spoken All that remains only serves as a token Of all our unjustified sin You can't fly away 'cause you burned off your wings Live in the torture that ignorance brings Beautiful people say the ugliest things And all of the words we take back are the same Lying on mattresses, playing the game Everyone does it and no one's ashamed Because none of it matters a bit But it's easy to see that it stopped being fine The day you crossed over that little blue line And the poor would-be fine just can't grow a spine His promise was all full of shit You can't fly away 'cause you burned off your wings Live in the torture that ignorance brings Beautiful people say the ugliest things What have you traded your innocence for? When did you cast off your pride? What was it like before you sold your soul And all of your principles died? We've all said some of the ugliest words Words that we'll never outlive I am the one who will never forget But I'm always the first to forgive When promises break for the cheapest of phrases And lovers get curses instead of their praises Everyone says, 'It's just one of her phases She'd best not come crying to me' But the voice of the speaker's afraid and alone Knife to her wrist and an ear to the phone She's ruining lives 'cause she can't live her own She isn't who she's s'posed to be You can't fly away 'cause you burned off your wings Live in the torture that ignorance brings Beautiful people say the ugliest things You can't fly away 'cause you burned off your wings Live in the torture that ignorance brings Beautiful people say the ugliest things

Where do they lock you up When your only crime was to fall in love? And what do they do with the one Who's the suicide bullet in your loaded gun? There's nothing quite like feeding an addiction Every night you're breeding contradiction Why don't they tell us how much love stings? Why do bad people happen to good things? There's nothing quite like feeding an addiction Every night you're breeding contradiction Why don't they tell us how much love stings? Why do bad people happen to good things? Who do you have to be? To escape all the scandal that this town bleeds? And when will it ever change? When six hundred miles is still in range? There's nothing quite like feeding an addiction Every night you're breeding contradiction Why don't they tell us how much love stings? Why do bad people happen to good things? There's nothing quite like feeding an addiction Every night you're breeding contradiction Why don't they tell us how much love stings? Why do bad people happen to good things? I hope that you realize that there is a difference In getting attention and just gaining interest It's hopeless to persist and useless to resist And I'm getting distressed if you haven't noticed I hope that you realize that there is a difference In getting attention and just gaining interest It's hopeless to persist and useless to resist And I'm getting distressed if you haven't noticed There's nothing quite like feeding an addiction Every night you're breeding contradiction Why don't they tell us how much love stings? Why do bad people happen to good things? There's nothing quite like feeding an addiction Every night you're breeding contradiction Why don't they tell us how much love stings? Why do bad people happen to good things? There's nothing quite like feeding an addiction Every night you're breeding contradiction Why don't they tell us how much love stings? Why do bad people happen to good things?

Way To Go 03:38
This crumbling world is coming down Around our heads, around our heads In perfect bliss, we waste away Miscommunicate, miscommunicate We've got a long, long way to go We've got a long, long way to go So let's get started on this road On this road It gets inside, the disarray Asphyxiates, asphyxiates It gets inside, from green to gray Disintegrates our world away We've got a long, long way to go We've got a long, long way to go So let's get started on this road On this road It breaks my heart to see us Just throw away what we can't replace If words alone could save us There'd be no end to the things I'd say We've got a long, long way to go We've got a long, long way to go So let's get started on this road On this road We've got a long, long way to go We've got a long, long way to go With just one chance to save our souls We've got a long, long way to go
