Wide eyed Knee deep in surprise Just below your thighs the temperature drops 5 degrees Your stand-by flight has just arrived Tongue-tied bleeding from your eyes Even Christ himself would cringe at the sight of your scars While you're counting sheep I'll count my lucky stars You were the last good thing I ever saw I lost it all I lost it all Burned out on 2 hours of shut-eye Eyes glazed at the thought of the next 8 hours Headwind cold rain to wake me You were the last good thing I ever saw

Wonder what it was that made you this way Maybe as a baby you dropped your rattle And it still rattles you to this day You better practice your evil looks in the mirror They don't work on me Slowly crawling up from the down low The other cops still call you 'fatso' Short fuse and a top to blow Unhappy wife, shitty life, hit the bottle Your whole world dropped from under you Left you with sorry excuses Left you with meaningless things to prove Like why you became a cop Why did you become a cop? Wonder what it was that made you this way As a boy your toys were taken away And it still toys with you to this day You better practice your evil looks in the mirror They don't work on me Slowly crawling up from the down low The other cops still call you 'fatso' Short fuse and a top to blow Unhappy wife, shitty life, hit the bottle Your whole world dropped from under you Left you with sorry excuses Left you with meaningless things to prove Like why you became a cop Why did you become a cop? Shut the fuck up. After my court date I'll forget about you I'll tell my cellmate I'll forget about you After the jail break I'll forget about you After I'm through singing this song I'll forget about you, I'll forget about you!

Choking on the thought of leaving Drinking to keep from sobbing 4pm, 4 dollar pints - SFO - the time and price With all my happiness aborted The PA painfully starts boarding I sink deep, 30 thousand feet Into my window seat, electric chair And I was drinking you goodbye A heart floats in the bay From sour home Chicago I hear it beating far away There's no telling what I'll do If I don't return to you Hopeful thoughts of soon returning can't put out my stomach burning Plastic wings and plastic smiles Unsalted peanuts stretch my miles Choking on the thought of leaving Drinking to keep from heaving 5pm, 5 dollar pints - Hellbound Airlines - time and price And I was drinking you goodbye A heart floats in the bay From sour home Chicago I hear it beating far away There's no telling what I'll do If I don't return to you I was drinking you goodbye A heart floats in the bay From sour home Chicago I hear it beating far away There's no telling what I'll do If I don't return to you

Crack my head open on your kitchen floor To prove to you that I have brains Meanwhile tin men are led by little girls Down golden roads that lead to nowhere Fine time to fake a seizure Feel your mouth on mine, you're saving me Whatever happened to that silly dream you had? I want to make it real I'd love to rub your back Like a plane crash that never hits the ground I fall in love with you I'm nose over tail for you Your voice like the sound of sirens to a house on fire You're saving me

Stale as a 2 day half full beer Cigarette boats float around in here A field in my gut lacking sunshine Put down like a teenager's first drink I cough up compliments I think You're better off walking away while you still can She was passing through to climb a hill As you slipped and slid on my gut spill My better half was praying for you to fall Rotten like a 3 week half full glass of breast milk, drunken off my ass I would give anything to erase the past nine years of my life Put down like a prostitute in court All liberty soon to abort like my sanity Like thoughts of you She was passing through to climb a hill As you slipped and slid on my gut spill My better half was praying for you to fall Praying for you to fall So pitiful Praying for you to fall I'm fuckin' pitiful Praying for you to fall So pitiful Praying for you to fall So fuckin' pitiful

So where'd you go? How was your vacation home? Well obviously you were busy, too busy for me So this is how you leave me? I'm broken hearted on the floor, My tears seep through the crack under my door Where I am locked in, shut down, I'm so tired of picking myself up off the ground So Happy Valentine's Day I hope the sun's out in New York I hope he bought you roses I hope he bought you roses So Happy Valentine's Day I hope the sun's out in New York I hope he bought you roses I hope he bought you roses

Been on top of the world since about six months ago Marking the first time I laid eyes on you I lost all train of thought as I entered the room Saw what looked like really good food then I saw you And so did you I want to wake up naked next to you Kissing the curve in your clavicle Kissing your clavicle Been on top of the world since about 1 week ago Marking a time when I was drunk enough to talk to you I lost all train of thought as your eyes met mine Told you I thought you were gorgeous You gave me your phone number, I gave you mine Before you left I said that you can bet I'll be bothering you soon You said "No bother, please do" I've called you twice It's been a hellish fight To not think about you all the time Sitting around waiting for your call I want to wake up naked next to you Kissing the curve in your clavicle Kissing your clavicle I want to wake up naked next to you Kissing the curve in your clavicle

I'll come down to get you high Or maybe sing you a lullabye Sing you to sleep - a sleep you'll never wake from Sing you to coma so to speak When I fall down I'll fall apart Trade in my bike for a shopping cart and beg change from a world that needs some like I need someone So where are you my little needle? The stack's been burned away But I'm so inebriated that I cannot see three feet in front of me Between the moon and you, lunacy is setting in Lately I've been feeling dead inside Like my guts have dried up and died But every night I water them back to life yeah every night I water them back to life When I fall down I'll fall apart Trade in my bike for a shopping cart and beg change from a world that needs some I'm tired of sleeping alone So where are you my little needle? The stack's been burned away But I'm so inebriated that I cannot see three feet in front of me Between the moon and you, lunacy is setting in

I can't believe my heart's still pounding I can't believe how close I came And meanwhile heaven's falling The fallen angels flown away And that'll be me someday With stolen wings and evil ways Straight south with the keys to the pearly gates Hard to believe my heart stopped pounding Hard to believe I played this game My worst nightmares became real I got so scared that I forgot my name And that'll be me someday With stolen wings and evil ways Straight south with the keys to the pearly gates

I guess I'll always stop and see you And we'll run into each other's lives Yeah, I guess, although it tears me up inside Everytime it burns my eyes with tears But I know you're worth the pain I've so much more to gain by waiting for you You're going away but you're not going far So if he decides to leave you alone and crying You know I'm still here, the faithful one Waiting for a message from Kathlene Then I'll come.. faster Than I ever thought that I could run Cause I.. I need you more than I ever thought That I could need someone Someone Someone Someone else I know I will always stop and see you And we'll run into each other's fucked up lives Yeah, I guess, although it tears me up inside Everytime it burns my eyes with tears But your waking up is the start of my lost cause And then you decide to leave me alone and crying But you know I'm still here, the faithful one Waiting for a message from Kathlene Then I'll come.. faster Than I ever thought that I could run Cause I.. I need you more than I ever thought That I could need someone Someone Someone Someone else

You told me that you want to die I said I've been there myself more than a few times And I go back every once in a while You called me lucky, you.. you called me lucky You said tonight is a wonderful night to die I asked you how you could tell You told me to look at the sky Look at all those stars Look at how goddamn ugly the stars are It's one or another Between a rope and a bottle I can tell you're having trouble breathing 'Cause you'll never be okay You'll never be okay (You'll always be in pain) You'll always feel this way 'Cause things they never work out right (the wrong way the lonely way) You'll always be in pain You told me that the daylight burned you and that the sunrise was enough to kill you I said maybe you're a vampire You said it's quite possible I feel truly dead inside 'Cause you'll never be okay You'll never be okay (You'll always be in pain) You'll always feel this way 'Cause things they never work out right (the wrong way the lonely way) You'll always be in pain Don't forget to let your life rot you inside out Don't forget to let your life rot you inside out Don't forget to let your life rot you inside out

It hasn't been that long Since we drank to the sunset, until it was gone And down with it went our pain and fear As we slowly broke contact more and more with every beer And we passed out in each other's arms Both admitting we'd never felt better Never felt so warm But awoke in each other's eyes Without wearing a stitch of clothing We were both deeply in disguise And maybe I just set aside The fact that you were broken hearted In my own special selfish way And if I hadn't set aside The fact that you were broken hearted Hell knows where your heart would be today Maybe with me It seems like it's been so long Since we kissed through the darkness Until it was dawn Up with it came our pain and fear That we'd already lost each other We both knew that the end was near Maybe I just set aside The fact that you were broken hearted In my own special selfish way And if I hadn't set aside The fact that you were broken hearted Hell knows where your heart would be today Maybe with me Maybe with me Maybe with me Maybe with me Maybe with me Maybe with me
