"Helena"
Long ago
Just like the hearse you die to get in again
We are so far from you
Burning
on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst you take (worst
you take)
from every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been
holding on tonight
[Chorus]
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and
goodnight
So long and goodnight
Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the
very hurt you sold
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
from every heart you break (heart you break)
And
like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been holding on tonight
[Chorus]
What's the worst
that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on
this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Can you hear me?
Are
you near me?
Can we pretend to leave and then
We'll meet again
When both our cars collide?
[Chorus]
What's
the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you
carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
"Give 'Em Hell Kid"
Oh baby here comes the sound!
I took a train outta New Orleans and they shot me full of ephedrine.
This is how
we like to do it in the murder scene.
Can we settle up the score?
[Chorus]
If you were here I'd never
have a fear.
So go on live your life.
But I miss you more than I did yesterday.
You're beautiful!
Well
I'm a total wreck and almost every day.
Like the firing squad or the mess you made.
Well don't I look pretty walking
down the street.
In the best damn dress I own?
[Chorus]
If you were here I'd never have a fear.
So
go on live your life.
But I miss you more than I did yesterday.
You're so far away.
So c'mon show me how.
'Cause
I mean this more than words can ever say.
Some might say we are made from the sharpest things you say
We are young
and we don't care.
Your dreams and your hopeless hair.
We never wanted it to be this way.
For all our lives.
Do
you care at all?
[Chorus]
If you were here I'd never have a fear.
So go on live your life.
But I miss
you more than I did yesterday.
You're so far away.
So c'mon show me how.
'Cause I mean this more than words can ever
say.
(Won't you tell me?)
(Well, there's no way I'm kissing that guy)
"To The End"
He calls the mansion not a house but a tomb.
He's always choking from the stench and the fume.
The
wedding party all collapsed in the room.
So send my resignation to the bride and the groom.
Let's go down!
This elevator
only goes up to ten.
He's not around.
He's always looking at men
Down by the pool.
He doesn't have many friends.
As
they are
Face down and bloated snap a shot with the lens.
If you marry me,
Would you bury me?
Would you carry
me to the end?
(So say goodbye) to the vows you take
(And say goodbye) to the life you make
(And say goodbye)
to the heart you break
And all the cyanide you drank.
She keeps a picture of the body she lends.
Got nasty blisters
from the money she spends.
She's got a life of her own and it shows by the Benz
She drives at 90 by the Barbies and
Kens.
If you ever say never too late.
I'll forget all the diamonds you ate.
Lost in coma and covered in cake.
Increase
the medication.
Share the vows at the wake.
(Kiss the bride)
If you marry me,
Would you bury me?
Would
you carry me to the end?
(So say goodbye) to the vows you take
(And say goodbye) to the life you make
(And say
goodbye) to the heart you break
And all the cyanide you drank.
(And say goodbye) to the last parade
(And walk
away) from the choice you made
(And say goodnight) to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank.
(So
say goodbye) to the vows you take
(And say goodbye) to the life you make
(And say goodbye) to the hearts you break
And
all the cyanide you drank.
(And say goodbye) to the last parade
(And walk away) from the choice you made
(And
say goodnight) to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank.
To the last parade
When the parties fade
And
the choice you made
To the End.
"You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prision"
In the middle of a gun fight...
In the center of a restaurant...
They say, "Come with your
arms raised high!"
Well, they're never gonna get me,
And like a bullet through a flock of doves...
To wage this
war against your faith in me,
Your life...will never be the same.
On your mother's eyes, say a prayer...say a prayer!
[Chorus]
Now, but I can't
And I don't know
How we're just two men as God had made us,
Well,
I can't...well, I can!
Too much, too late, or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish,
I'll
kiss your lips again.
They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost,
My cellmate's a killer, they made me
do push-ups (in drag)
But nobody cares if you're losing yourself...am I losing myself?!
Well, I miss my mom,
Will
they give me the chair,
Or lethal injection, or swing from a rope if you dare;
Ah, nobody knows...all the trouble
I've seen!
[Chorus]
To your room...
What they ask of you
Will make you want to say, "So long..."
Well, I don't remember,
Why remember...YOU?!
Do you have the keys to the hotel?!
'Cause I'm gonna string
this motherfucker on fire! (FIRE!!)
Life is but a dream for the dead,
And well I, I won't go down by myself,
But
I'll go down with my friends.
Now now now now...now now now...now now now!!
"I'm not Okay (I Promise)"
Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say.
I never want to let you down or have you
go, it's better off this way.
For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took,
Remember when you broke
your foot from jumping out the second floor?
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
What
will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems?
(I'm not okay)
I told you time and time again you sing the
words but don't know what it means
(I'm not okay)
To be a joke and look, another line without a hook
I held you close
as we both shook for the last time take a good hard look!
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear
me out
Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
You said you read me like a book, but
the pages are all torn and frayed
I'm okay
I'm okay!
I'm okay, now
(I'm okay, now)
But you really need
to listen to me
Because I'm telling you the truth
I mean this, I'm okay!
(Trust Me)
I'm not okay
I'm not
okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm not o-fucking-kay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
(Okay)
"The Ghost of You"
I never said I'd lie in wait forever
If I died, we'd be together
I can't always just forget her
But she could
try
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could
I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever ever...
Ever...
Get
the feeling that you're never
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies
She dies
At
the end of the world
Or the last thing i see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? should I?
And
all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never
coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna
catch me
If I fall
If I fall (down)
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never
coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
And all the things that you never ever told
me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And
all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna...
"The Jetset Life is Gonna Kill You"
Gaze into her killing jar I'd sometimes stare for hours (sometimes stare for hours).
She even poked
the holes so I can breathe.
She bought the last line.
I'm just the worst kind.
Of guy to argue.
With what you
might find.
And for the last night I lie.
Could I lie with you?
[Chorus:]
Alright
Give up
Get
down. It's just the hardest part of living.
Alright
She wants
It all to come down this time.
Lost in the prescription
she's got something else in mind (something else in mind).
Check into the Hotel Bella Muerte.
It gives the weak flight.
It
gives the blind sight.
Until the cops come.
Or by the last light.
And for the last night I lie.
Could I lie next
to you?
[Chorus x2]
Pull the plug.
But I'd like to learn your name.
When holding on.
Well I
hope you do the same.
Awww sugar.
Slip into this tragedy you've spun this chamber dry.
[Chorus x2]
Pull
the plug.
But I'd like to learn your name.
And holding on.
Well I hope you do the same.
Awww sugar.
"Interlude"
Since we talked to her now
come angels of the lord,
come angels of the lord.
"Thank You For the Venom"
Sister, I'm not much a poet, but a criminal
And you never had a chance
Love it, or leave it,
you can't understand
A pretty face, but you do so carry on,
and on,
and on
I wouldn't front the scene
if you paid me
I'm just the way that the doctor made me, on,
and on,
and on,
and on
Love is the red of
the rose on your coffin door
What's life like, bleeding on the floor,
the floor,
the floor
You'll never
make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give me a reason to believe
[Chorus]
So give me all your
poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after
something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will
Preach all you want but who's
gonna save me?
I keep a gun on the book you gave me, hallelujah, lock and load
Black is the kiss, the touch of the
serpent son
It ain't the mark or the scar that makes you one,
and one,
and one,
and one
You'll never
make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give me a reason to believe
[Chorus]
So give me all your
poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after
something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will
You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
You wanna follow something
Give me a better cause to lead
Just give me what I need
Give me a reason to believe
[Chorus x2]
So give me all your poison
And give me all your pills
And
give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after something
That you'll never kill
If
this is what you want
Then fire at will
"Hang 'Em High"
Wait until it fades to black
Ride into the sunset
Would I lie to you?
Well, I've got something
to say
Grab your six-gun from your back
Throttle the ignition
Would I die for you?
Well here's your answer in
spades
Shotgun sinners
Wild eyed jokers
Got you in my sights
Gun it while i'm holding on
After all
is said and done
Climb out from the pine box
Well I'm asking you
'Cause she's got nothing to say
The angels just
cut out her tongue
Call her black Mariah
Would I lie to you?
That girl's not right in the brain
Mass convulsions
Strike
the choir
By the grace of God
Gun it while I'm holding on
But don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh
baby don't stop
Bury me and fade to black
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
She
won't stop me put it down
So get your gun and meet me by the door
[x3]
She won't stop me put it down
She
won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
So baby...
Don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh
baby don't stop
Bury me and fade to black
[x2]
"It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Fucking Deathwish"
For what you did to me,
and what I'll do to you,
you get, what everyone else gets,
you get
a lifetime!
Let's go!
Do you remember that day when we met
you told me this gets harder
well it did!
been
holding on forever,
promise me that when I'm gone you'll kill my enemies,
the damage you've inflicted temporary wounds
I'm
coming back from the dead and I'll take you home with me
I'm taking back the life you stole
We never got that far,
this
helps me to think all through the night
bright lights that, won't kill me now, or tell me how
just you and I, your
starless eyes remain.
Hip Hip Hooray for me, you talk to me, but would you kill me in my sleep
lay still like the
dead
from the razor to the rosary
we could lose ourselves
and paint these walls in pitchfork red
I will avenge
my ghost with every breath I take
I'm coming back from the dead and I'll take you home with me
I'm taking back the life
you stole
This hole that you put me in
wasn't deep enough
and I'm climbing out right now
you're running
out of places to hide from me
when you go
just know that I will remember you
if living was the hardest part
we'll
then one day be together
and in the end we'll fall apart
just as the leaves changing colors
and then I will be with
you
I will be there one last time now
when you go
just know that I will remember you
I lost my fear of
falling
I will be with you
I will be with you
"Cemetary Drive"
this night, walk the dead
in a solitary style
and crash the cemetery gates.
in the dress
your husband hates
way down, mark the grave
where the search lights find us
drinking by the mausoleum door
and
they found you on the bathroom floor
i miss you, i miss you so far
and the collision of your kiss that made it so
hard
back home, off the run
singing songs that make you slit your wrists
it isn't that much fun, staring down
a loaded gun
so i won't stop dying, won't stop lying
if you want i'll keep on crying
did you get what you deserve?
is
this what you always want me for?
i miss you, i miss you so far
and the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
way
down, way down
way down, way down
way down, way down
way down, way down
i miss you, i miss you so far
and
the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
i miss you, i miss you so far
and the collision of your kiss that
made it so hard
made it so hard
way down, way down
way down, way down
way down, way down
way down, way
down
way down
"I Never Told You What I Do For A Living"
Stay out of the light
Or the photographs that I gave you
You can say a prayer if you need to
Or
just get in line and I'll grieve you
Can I meet you, alone
Another night and I'll see you
Another night and I'll
be you
Some other way to continue
To hide my face
[Chorus:]
Another knife in my hands
A stain that
never comes off the sheets
Clean me off
I'm so dirty babe
The kind of dirty where the water never cleans off the
clothes
I keep a book of the names and those
Only goes so far 'til you bury them
So deep and down we go
Touched
by angels, though I fall out of grace
I did it all so maybe I'd live this every day
[Chorus:]
Another
knife in my hands
A stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off
I'm so dirty babe
It ain't the money and
it sure as hell ain't just for the fame
It's for the bodies I claim and lose
Only goes so far 'til you bury them
So
deep and down we go
Down
And down we go
And down we go
And down we go
And we all fall down
I
tried
I tried
And we'll all dance alone to the tune of your death
We'll love again, we'll laugh again
And
it's better off this way
And never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And
we're all dead now.
Well never again,and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're
all dead now.
Well I tried
One more night
One more night
well I'm laughin', cryin', laughin'
I tried,
well I tried, well I tried,
'Cause I tried, but I lied
I lied
I tried
I tried
I tried
And we'll
love again and we'll laugh again
We'll cry again and we'll dance again
And it's better off this way
So much better
off this way
I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed
And never again, and never again
They gave us
two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now
"Bury Me In Black [Japanese Bonus Track]
I said, we'll drown ourselves in misery tonight
I lied, you've worn out all your dancing shoes
this time
Just give us war, worn lipstick by the door if I inflame
These eyes have had too much to drink again
tonight
Black skies, we'll douse ourselves in high explosive light
Just give us war, I've been calling you all week
for
my shotgun
Pick up the phone
Pick up the phone fucker
I wanna see what you're insides look like
I bet
you're not fuckin pretty on the inside
I wanna see what you're insides look like
I wanna see em
Well you don't
say
And well I can explain what happened to my face
late last night
I'm sleepin next to pools in vacant alleyways
And
what I'm goin through, shot lipgloss through my veins
And when I can't complain
With the falling rain
C'mon
I
wanna save your heart
I wanna see what your insides may be
