Headline from this day on
Why you keep pretending that you wanna let go?
Do. Do you wanna let go?
Loud volume turn to low low low low low low
What you want and what you do to me
I'll take the trouble that you have in mind
Entertainment
Show them what you do with me
When everyone here knows better
What I once refused to be
Is everything they long together
I'd rather be alone
I love, I love, I love, I notice
I heard it all before I died
Before I knew you
Once upon a time would take too long, long, long, long, long, long
What you want and what you do to me
I'll take the trouble that you have in mind
Entertainment
Show them what you do with me
When everyone here knows better
What I once refused to be
Is everything they long together
I'd rather be alone

The Real Thing
They said that you don't
You promised too well
I'm calling my number
So that's real
Almost, almost, almost the real thing
How could I have missed that one?
How could I have missed it?
Am I the only one?
You're into love
Twenty-year-old and bored
I learn for a better future
But lover in the ocean
Drown into the throne that you sit on
Far ahh
Far, far away
Hold me for a ransom
It's not enough for you to live alone
Tell me that's what you wanted
Follow, follow me
Follow me
Follow, follow me
Follow me
You're more than I want
I figured you well
Back in September
We'll make it a deal
Almost, almost, almost the real thing
How could I have missed that one?
How could I have missed it?
Am I the only one?
You're into love
Twenty-year-old and bored
I learn for a better future
But lover in the ocean
Drown into the throne that you sit on
Far ahh
Far, far away
Hold me for a ransom
It's not enough for you to live alone
Tell me that's what you wanted
Follow, follow me
Follow me
Follow, follow me
Follow me
Follow, Follow me
Follow me
You promised too well
I'm calling my number
So that's real
Almost, almost, almost the real thing
How could I have missed that one?
How could I have missed it?
Am I the only one?
You're into love
Twenty-year-old and bored
I learn for a better future
But lover in the ocean
Drown into the throne that you sit on
Far ahh
Far, far away
Hold me for a ransom
It's not enough for you to live alone
Tell me that's what you wanted
Follow, follow me

Tell me that's what you wanted
Follow, follow me

S.O.S. In Bel Air
Well, I really got to go now
Phony eyes, and you're not just anyone
Even though we're not supposed to
I would rather be too close to anything
Is it not far to something I don't want
And you can't cross the line
But you can't stop trying [x8]
Alone, alone, alone... [x4]
Crystal opened blue
Why you have a canoe
Crystal opened blue
Do you need another one?
Someone to talk to?
Put my name in your list
S.O.S. in Bel Air!
When tired, you're no fun
When idols are boredom to everyone
When every piece of every costume
A stolen mess and I recall the pretty things
Is it the last of me or lesson 1?
And you can't cross the line
But you can't stop trying [x8]
Alone, alone, alone... [x4]

Trying To Be Cool
City and desert coexist
Depending on the things you're wearing
White lie binoculars
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want me
They'll teach yourself not to resist
Too much intention Presbyterian
Mentulate testosterone
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want me
Cool
I'm just trying to be cool
It's all because of you
So tonight ain't better too
We're all gone
Oh girlfriend business says it all
You can't go wrong
Is innocence a word where you're from?
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want it all
Two dozen pink and white binoculars
Why, why I got no problems to show
To part-time holy bachelors
Tell them that you want me
Tell them that you want me
Cool
I'm just trying to be cool
It's all because of you
Something that ain't better too
With no gone
Oh girlfriend business says it all
You can't go wrong
Can women sound cynical where you're from?
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want it all
Ooh, son, I don't care where you're from
Nothings that personal
There is no physical evidence
of cannibal boyfriends
Depending on the things you're wearing
White lie binoculars
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want me
They'll teach yourself not to resist
Too much intention Presbyterian
Mentulate testosterone
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want me
Cool
I'm just trying to be cool
It's all because of you
So tonight ain't better too
We're all gone
Oh girlfriend business says it all
You can't go wrong
Is innocence a word where you're from?
Tell me that you want me

Why, why I got no problems to show
To part-time holy bachelors
Tell them that you want me
Tell them that you want me

I'm just trying to be cool
It's all because of you
Something that ain't better too
With no gone
Oh girlfriend business says it all
You can't go wrong
Can women sound cynical where you're from?
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want it all
Ooh, son, I don't care where you're from
Nothings that personal
There is no physical evidence

Drakkar Noir
You could do it better
Drakkar Noir
Cheap fixtures, religious tales
Light a cigarette for two
Too close to get to
How come everyone knows you before they meet you?
In the jingle, jungle
Jingle, junkie
Jungle, junglemen
A better standard than mediocre
I watch you tumble, oh
Jingle, jungle
Jingle, jump, before you stumble
I'm just the gladdest,
You know, just the gladdest
You know, know
Scandinavian leather
Drakkar Noir
Fake riches, oblivious tales,
On a domestic airline
Swear to god that you're mine
In the jingle jungle
Jingle junkie
Jungle, junglemen
A better standard than mediocre
I watch you tumble, oh
Jingle, jungle
Jingle, jump, before you stumble
I'm just the saddest and you're just the gladdest
You know, know
How I wish I knew you
How I wish I knew you from before
'Till I die [x3]
Burn the avenues, until the city unfurls
What won't we have to know?
Do we have to know what truth is?
Why I wish I knew you
Why I wish I knew you from before
'Till I die [x3]
I'm just the gladdest
You know, just the gladdest
You know, know
Oh no

Chloroform
I don't always tell the truth
They don't mind it if you're tall where I'm from
Anyone I find intrusive
You won't bother if you choose me
I don't only think of you
Eyes can tell I'm insecure, chloroform
I would rather stand if you stay
Why would I lie to you?
[Chorus:]
My love, my love, my love, my love is,
My love, my love, my love is,
My love, my love, my love, my love is,
Cruel
Buckle up, we'll chase each other
It's not a lot it's just enough to matter
Anyway you want the truth is
I will marry you on tuesday
I don't always tell the truth
If you want it you could lose, don't bother
I don't like it if you miss me
Why would I long for you?
[Chorus x2]
Would I long for you?
Is it up to you?
Is it up to you?
They don't mind it if you're tall where I'm from
Anyone I find intrusive
You won't bother if you choose me
I don't only think of you
Eyes can tell I'm insecure, chloroform
I would rather stand if you stay
Why would I lie to you?

My love, my love, my love, my love is,

Dont
Just don't bother
Don't fed the animals
Don't let them run in circles
Don't [?]
They just don't matter
If you're more than ready, run away
From dusk to dawn
Last night on the couch you're livin'
It's a poor complaint
It's the only thing
You're sad and underweight
Whatever, we're so close to "serious"
Whatever promise you made
I have no problem to say "no"
[Chorus:]
I'll never know
I'll never know you
Restrained
Reach out for me
I'll never know
Don't
It's just another
It's just another complicated case
To settle down the road
Whatever we're too close to "serious"
Whatever promise you made
From dusk to dawn
Don't swear that it is your fault
You're sophisticated
I saw the chandelier
I'm folding under stress
Whatever we're too close to "serious"
Whatever comments you make
I hear the [?] to say "no"
[Chorus]
Don't fed the animals
Don't let them run in circles
Don't [?]
They just don't matter
If you're more than ready, run away
From dusk to dawn
Last night on the couch you're livin'
It's a poor complaint
It's the only thing
You're sad and underweight
Whatever, we're so close to "serious"
Whatever promise you made
I have no problem to say "no"
[Chorus:]
I'll never know
I'll never know you
Restrained
Reach out for me
I'll never know
Don't
It's just another
It's just another complicated case
To settle down the road
Whatever we're too close to "serious"
Whatever promise you made
From dusk to dawn
Don't swear that it is your fault
You're sophisticated
I saw the chandelier
I'm folding under stress
Whatever we're too close to "serious"
Whatever comments you make
I hear the [?] to say "no"

Bourgeois
Darling you never know
It started years ago
When you're less than kind of done
Adolescent singing out real loud
Some wild English tune:
"Sha-lala lala-lala lala-lala lalala"
We'll never talk it out this time
You'll learn from all of us
When your time's up
How it all began
Seriously done
Less than kind of soon
An Adolescent calling out real loud
Its why I sing this tune
Sing: "Sha-lala lala-lala lala-lala lalala"
We'll never talk it out this time
You'll learn from all of us
When your time's up
You bet your life on the cruise ship
Bartending crucial lies
We're destined, wise and we socialize
Bourgeois, why would you care for more?
They give you almost everything
You believed almost anything
Bourgeois, your fires, they burn so long
They give you almost everything
You believed almost anything
Darling you never know
Darling you never know
When you're less than kind of done
Adolescence looking at you now
Like foreign legions do
Sing "Sha-lala lala-lala lala-lala lalala"
We'll never talk it out this time
You'll learn from all of us
When your time's up
You lost your mind on a cruise ship
Bartending crucial lies
We're destined, wise and we socialize
Bourgeois, why would you care for more?
They give you almost everything
You believed almost anything
Bourgeois, your fires, they burn so long
They give you almost everything
You believed almost anything

Oblique City
I wanted out of the Biblical bets.
Oblique city credentials.
It's everything that I've ever known.
Coca-Colas, Rosetta Stone.
[Bridge:]
The lost city, potentially
Not the logic of the moment oh
It's way more than tragic.
I'll never know how to do the show.
You've ever been lonely?
[Chorus:]
I'm gonna do this alone
50 thousand versus one
I'm gonna do it all
Am I gonna do this alone?
Oh when did your versus one
Come on, come out and get me.
I wanted all that was even and planned.
Oblique city potential.
She's everything that I'd ever want.
Who wants the bronze to sit with the gold.
