Teenage FBI

Someone tell me why
I do the things
That I don't want to do
When you're around me
I'm somebody else

Someone tell my why
I act like a fool
When things don't go my way
When you're around me
I'm somebody else

There is good reason I guess
Having it once gone too far
When you clean out the hive
Does it make you want to cry
Are you still being followed by the Teenage FBI

Someone tell me why
Someone tell me why
Someone tell me why
I do the things
That I don't want to do
When you're around me
I'm somebody else

Someone tell my why
I act like a fool
When things don't go my way
And you're around me
I'm somebody else

There is good reason I guess
Having it once gone too far
When you clean out the hive
Does it make you want to cry
Are you still being followed by the Teenage FBI

Someone tell me why
Someone tell me why
Someone tell me why
I do the things
That I don't want to do
When you're around me
I'm somebody else

Someone tell me why
Someone tell me why
Someone tell me why

Temptation Waits

I'll tell you something
I am a wolf, but I like to wear sheep's clothing
I am a bonfire
I am a vampire
I'm waiting for my moment

You come on like a drug
I just can't get enough
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more
And there's so much at stake
I can't afford to waste
I've never needed anybody like this before

I'll tell you something
I am a demon
Some say my biggest weakness
I have my reasons
Call it my defence
Be careful what you're wishing

You come on like a drug
I just can't get enough
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more
And there's so much at stake
I can't afford to waste
I've never needed anybody like this before

You are a secret
A new possession
I like to keep you guessing

You come on like a drug
I just can't get enough
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more
And there's so much at stake
I can't afford to waste
I've never needed anybody like this before

When I'm not sure what I'm living for
When I'm not sure what I'm...

Strong

Baby, I see you're vulnerable to me
That's your power over me
Baby, baby I know it's always been so
Physical love is oh so meaningful for you

You write love letters to me - strong
You know how to talk to me - so strong
Baby, I'm yours - you know
Because you're so, so strong

You would fight for me
You would starve for me
You would suffer for me
You would die for me
Well, I feel the same way too

You know I feel that way about you
I know you're mad about me
You show me because you're so, so strong
You're so, so strong

I Quit

There was a time when I would go walking
Backwards round the world
If you said you're mine

And I'd run blindfolded down the King's Road Monday morning
If you just for once arrived on time
But you turned into another liar
And you came on like a new Messiah
So before you say what you desire

I'm telling you now
I quit, I quit
Cause loving you's a job I just don't need
Ain't gonna go to work no more

I quit, I quit
The situations vacant for me
Ain't gonna go to work no more
Ain't gonna go to work no more, ain't gonna go to work

I got my hands dirty while you rolled cigarettes
With one eye on the time
I tried my hardest
I've been conscientious
But I'm taking back that heart of mine

You can't roll me round your tongue no more, baby
It's time to clear up your emotional debris
And if I'm falling overboard, please don't save me

Cause I'm telling you now
I quit, I quit
Cause loving you's a job I just don't need
Ain't gonna go to work no more

I quit, I quit
The situations vacant for me
Ain't gonna go to work no more
Ain't gonna go to work no more, ain't gonna go to work

If you'd like to say you're sorry
You're just like every other lover
A shot rings out and you go running for cover
And I'm sorry I can't be your mother
And I'm telling you now
I quit, I quit
Cause loving you's a job I just don't need
Ain't gonna go to work no more

I quit, I quit
The situations vacant for me
Ain't gonna go to work no more
Ain't gonna go to work no more, ain't gonna go to work

I quit, I quit
I quit, I quit
I quit, I quit
Ain't gonna go to work no more
Ain't gonna go to work no more
Ain't gonna go to work...

Over My Head

I lost an island in the ocean
The place where nickels come
To gamble on their faces
She took the offer to be the daughter
We pledge allegiance to the one
Who offers social graces

Please don't blame me
Please don't blame me
Cause I'm in over my head
In over my head
It's for the best

I ripped up the picture
The one in the kitchen
I looked weak
My eyes they gave it all away
I don't deny it
I still haven't found it
I proudly wear the scars
I've challenged every crutch so far

Please don't blame me
Please don't blame me
Cause I'm in over my head
In over my head
It's for the best

And I'm in over my head
In over my head
It's for the best
Yeah

Please don't blame me
Please don't blame me
Cause I'm in over my head
In over my head
It's for the best
And I'm in over my head
In over my head
It's for the best

Lucky

It was a Monday, when my lover told me
"Never pay the Reaper with love only"
what could i say to you, except "I love you"
and "I'd give my life for your's"

I know
We are
We are the lucky ones
I know
We are
We are the lucky ones, dear

Remember the time we made love in the roses?
and you took my picture in all sorts of poses!
How could I ever get over you
when I'd give my life for your's

I know
We are
We are the lucky ones
I know
We are
We are the lucky ones, dear

It's time to say
I thank god for you
I thank god for you
In each and every single way
And, I know
It's time to let you know
Time to let you know
Time to sit here and say!

I know
We are
We are the lucky ones
I know
We are
We are the lucky ones, dear
We are the lucky ones, dear
We are the lucky ones, dear
We are the lucky ones

Keep Myself Awake

I hate to talk like this
I hate to act as if there's something wrong
But I can't say
I have this dream at night
Almost every night
I've been dreaming it forever
It's easy to remember

It's always cold
It's always day
You're always here
You always say
I'm alright, I'll be okay
If I can keep myself awake
(keep myself awake...)

I get up early and look around me
And can't help but wonder what you mean
But I'm sleeping
I'm so deep in
So much more real to me
Closer than reality

It's always cold
It's always day
You're always here
You always say
I'm alright, I'll be okay
If I can keep myself awake
(keep myself awake...)
If I can keep myself awake
(keep myself awake...)

I get up early
I look around me
I'm buying coffee by the pound
But i'm sleeping
So deep in it
I can't keep myself awake
(keep myself awake...)

Virgin State of Mind

There's a chair in my head on which I use to sit
Took a pencil and I wrote the following on it

Now there's a key where my wonderful mouth used to be
Dig it up, throw it at me
Dig it up, throw it at me

Where can I run to, where can I hide
Who will I turn to now I'm in a virgin state of mind

Got a knife to desengage the voids that I can't bear
To cut out words I've got written on my chair

Like do you think I'm sexy
Do you think I really care

Can I burn the mazes I grow
Can I, I don't think so

Where can I run to
Where can I hide
Who will I turn to now I'm in a virgin state of mind
Virgin state of mind
Virgin state of mind
Virgin state of mind

Already Met You

The first date's the worst date
It's hard to know just what to do
And I take you to dinner
You don't eat, you just play with your food
And there's something familiar
About every word you say
It's hard to believe it's happening again

I already met you
And I already met you
You're like my last girlfriend
Yes, and the girlfriend I had before her

I take you to my apartment
And then it's just south of Beirut
And you tell me you're bored
And you don't like the color of my shoes
And the picture gets clearer with every word you say
It's hard to believe it's happening again

I already met you
And I already met you
You're like my last girlfriend
Yes, and the girlfriend I had before her

Don't mean to upset you
I already met you
You're like my last girlfriend
Yes, and the girlfriend I had before her

Two point two kids and a house on the hill
A dog named Boo and sweet Uncle Phil...Fella?

My head says you're different
You're the one with whom I should grow old
Yeah, that's not too convincing
When you're yelling at your dad on my phone
So I stare out the window
And I find me a simle 'cause I still believe it gets better than this

I already met you
And I already met you
You're like my last girlfriend
Yes, and the girlfriend I had before her

Don't mean to upset you
I already met you
You're like my last girlfriend
Yes, and the girlfriend I had before her
You're like my last girlfriend
Yes, and the girlfriend I had before her
And the girlfriend I had before her
And the girlfriend I had before her
And the girlfriend I had before that

The Devil You Know (God is a Man)

God is a man
It's all right
Everything is fine
You live the perfect life
Never one immoral thought inside your mind

What they say
Does it make you feel ashamed
Isn't everyone the same
Does it matter that it wasn't your idea
God is a man
You know for certain
The knowledge in and of itself
Is more than we deserve
So you've tried
And you've made up your mind
Something's still not right
The devil you don't know is still outside

What they say
Does it make you feel ashamed
Isn't everyone the same
Does it matter that it wasn't your idea
God is a man
You know for certain
The knowledge in and of itself
Is more than we deserve
God is a man
You know for certain
The knowledge in and of itself
Is more than we deserve

What they say
Does it make you feel ashamed
Isn't everyone the same
Does it matter that it wasn't your idea
God is a man
You know for certain
The knowledge in and of itself
Is more than we deserve
God is a man
You know for certain
The knowledge in and of itself
Is more than we deserve
It's more than we deserve

Nothing but You

I think i'll go for a walk
Maybe out in the rain
Maybe there'll be tears rolling down my face
And i'd feel the pain
Maybe think about something
Maybe think about you

Yeah you can't hurt me now
You know you can't hurt me now
You can't hold me down

And i've got plenty of time
Time to figure it out
Time to think about you and me
Whatever that was all about
Got nothing to prove
Got nothing to say
No i'm guessing I never thought you were good for me anyway
Got nothing to lose
Nothing but you

I think i'll go for a ride
Til my memory fades
Roll down the windows and glide
Down 75 to the Everglades
Maybe light up a joint
And take a walk on the moon

Yeah you can't reach me now
You know you can't touch me now
You can't hold me down

Why do you have to be so unkind?
Why do I have to be so inclined
To loose my mind?

Well i've got plenty of time
Time to figure it out
Time to think about you and me
Whatever that was all about
Got nothing to prove
Got nothing to say
No i'm guessing I never thought you were good for me anyway
Got nothing to lose
Nothing but you
Oooo, nothing but you
Yeah, n-n-nothing

It Doesn't Matter

It doesn't matter what I want
It doesn't matter what I need
It doesn't matter if I cry
Don't matter if I bleed
You've been on a road
Don't know where it goes or where it leads

It doesn't matter what I want
It doesn't matter what I need
If you've made up your mind to go
I won't beg you to stay
You've been in a cage
Throw you to the wind you fly away

It doesn't matter what I want
It doesn't matter what I need
It doesn't matter if I cry
Doesn't matter if I bleed
Feel the sting of tears
Falling on this face you've loved for years

Wild Horses

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am,
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild Horses,
Couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses,
Couldn't drag me away...

I watched you suffer a dull, aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines,
Can make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild Horses,
Couldn't drag me away,

Wild, wild horses,
Couldn't drag me away...

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie,
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken tears must be cried,
Let's do some living after we die

Wild Horses,
Couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses,
We'll ride them someday

Pain

Feeling I've been lost for years
You can never understand me
Unless you've seen those tears
But you never get to sleep when I'm away
I don't mind the deeper that you lay
Out of time

Pain. I can't sleep.
Pain. I can't sleep.

Running, running from those days
There's another one inside me
Guess I've gone insane
But you always run away when I come around
I don't mind the day I'll track you down

Pain. I can't sleep.
Pain. I can't sleep.

Don't stop. Don't talk. Do not...with me.
Don't stop. Don't talk. Do not...with me.

Loaded, loaded up this gun
There's a killer in me
Hoping, hope that you're the one
But you always run away when I come around
I don't mind the day I'll track you down
Terrify

Pain. I can't sleep.
Pain. I can't sleep.
Pain. I can't sleep.

Charge

The way you love
Have you got a name for it
Cause I don't understand it
The language is an annoying necessity
And I depend on all the regular things
Got a list tattooed on my memory
Of how our tryst should unfold

I'm falling from the opposite
What good is it
Fight the map with no key attached
My heart's enlarged and I charge

What do you say
To a dream that won't go away
Cause I don't know if I can stand it
Forever isn't something you want to be
And I rely on familiar things
Seven days all have special meanings
But you just call it a week

I'm falling from the opposite
What good is it
Fight the map with no key attached
My heart's enlarged and I charge

I'm falling from the opposite
What what good is it
Fight the map with no key attached
My heart's enlarged and I charge

The night is young
And the moon is a mother to both of us
We both understand this
Marriage is an old and tired religion
And I love all the traditional things
Domestic bliss and all that shit
Confusion is a definite direction

I'm falling from the opposite
What good is it
Fight the map with no key attached
My heart's enlarged and I charge

Transylvanian Concubine

If you want to know how
To fly high, then go now
To the place where all the concubines...

Meet and converse with them
Marvel at their pale skin
Wonder how they chew on their pointy...

Teeth and hair are beauty
They know it's their duty
To be countess in their hearts and their...

Minds that have to whisper
See in them a sister
Look into their eyes and you'll become

Transylvanian Concubine.
You know what flows here like wine
Stay here with us, it's just time.
Transylvanian Concubine.

Sorrow is their master
Cackling with laughter
Now he's having just one piece of...
Cakey is their make-up
Catholics try to shake up
All the things that form their lives, but
They're...

Dead, the slighs, their songs
They know what they do is wrong.
Stay here with us, it's just time.
Transylvanian Concubine.

Candelabra's lighted
Satan has been sighted
Never has there been an evening like...
This is what they wanted
Always to feel hunted
You can never be too rich or too...

Thin. The blood has run out.
Fangs ruin any cute pout
Morning has come now they've flown
What have you learned from what has
Been shown?
