1. GET OUT

What if there's no more fun to have?

And all I've got is what I had

What if I have forgotten how?

Cut my losses and get out now

Get out right now

There's something stronger than me

There's something I don't want to see

A new thing growing in me

It is the hardest thing to do

To watch it grow on top of you

And see you're just like everyone

No fun

Why don't you speak that language anymore?

My blood is not that color anymore

My blood don't shine that same way anymore

I can not deny it anymore

No!

2. RICOCHET

All of that thick time without you

Has made me so thick and drunk

"and it's okay to laugh about it"

I said, "it's okay to laugh about it"

Running twice as fast to stay in the same place

Don't catch my breath to the end of the day

And I'd rather be shot in the face

Then hear what you're going to say

One day the wind will come up

And you'll come up empty again

-And who'll be laughing then?-

You'll come up empty again

No reasons-no explanation-so play the violins

It's always funny until someone gets hurt...

And Then it's just hilarious!

You beat me every time you blink

If only I did not have to think

Think about you crackin' a smile

Think about you all the while

On the ricochet - it's going to hit you

It's always funny until someone gets hurt

You can laugh at me - when it misses you

3. EVIDENCE

If you want to open the hole

Just put your head down and go

Step beside the piece of the circunstance

You got to wash away the taste of evidence

Wash it away(evidence)

I didn't feel a thing

It didn't mean a thing

Look in the eye and testify:

I didn't feel a thing

Anything you say, we know you're guilty

Hands above your head,

and you won't even feel me

You won't feel me

4. THE GENTLE ART OF MAKING ENEMIES

The words are so familiar-

All the same greats, the same mistakes

It doesn't have to be like this.

If you don't make a friend, now

One might make you-

So learn

The gentle art of making enemies

Don't look so surprised

Happy birthday...Fucker

We are gonna blow that candle out,

We're gonna kick you, kick you

[Don't say you're not because you are]

[Don't say you're not because you are]

[History tells us that you are]

[History tells us that you are]

All you need is just one more excuse

You put up one hell of a fight

You put one hell of a fight

I wanna hear your very best excuse

I Never felt this much alive

I never felt this much alive

Your day has finally come -

So wear the hat and do the dance

And let the suit keep wearing you.

This year you'll sit and take it

And you will like it -

It's the gentle art of making enemies

I deserve a reward

Cuz I'm the best fuck that you ever had

And if I tighten up my hole -

You may never see the light again

[There's always an easy way out]

[There's always an easy way out]

[You need something wet in your mouth]

[You need something wet in your mouth]

Never felt this much alive

5. STAR A.D

Star A.D.

See tomorrow dreamin'

You don't need your freedom

Star A.D.

A little joke that's understood

All over the world

A little joke that's understood

It's all over and over and over and over

And dying is dry-

Like a fact of history

And when you die, you'll become

something worse

Than dead-

You'll become

A legend

We are forever

6. CUCKOO FOR CACA

It's cold and it's

Smooth and it's

A hard shade of white

And everybody needs to lick the surface clean

But it never tastes better, never tastes better

uh....ah...ahh.uh...aahhhhahha.uh..aaahhh

White blooms to white and

freezes white again

Close it before something crawls in

Commit it, leave it, get away-

we always

Drop our good side

Being good gets you stuff

Being stuff gets you good

Good stuff gets you being

And wheelin' and dealin' and squealin'

Shit lives forever

They have no legs, but chase us anyway

Wipe the shadow of your best friend

Gave birth to something we don't want to be

We drop our good side

You can't kill it

Eat is just as deep as you can fuck it

So cough it up or go down

And there's only one thing that separates

A man...

Shit lives forever

We'll retire with a turd on our lips

Under a pair of knowing eyes

I'm gonna take a few down with me

And drop my good side

You can't kill it

Take it from our drummer, "Puff"

Being good it gets you stuff

7. CARALHO VOADOR

They all know me by my car

They all know I'm gone, but not how far

I'm heading straight down 101

I'm going to go and get me some

My lips are movin' but there's no sound

Someday somebody's gonna get run down

E non posso dirigir

E agora a pares

Ne dedu indehado

No naris

My lips are movin' but there's no sound

Someday somebody's gonna get run down

8. UGLY IN THE MORNING

You did one thing wrong

You woke up.

It looked better before

More-more

And the stomach turns...

Say nothing without wasting a word

I know exactly what you meant

I know how piggy feels

He starves without missing a meal

Look in the mirror...

Don't look at me-

I'm ugly in the morning

When the headache is gone,

The sun is not.

Forgot to turn the alarm

On-on

Doesn't matter how much you think

Or the number of hairs in the sink

I did it to myself again

I know how piggy feels

He starves without missing a meal

It's getting clearer...

Don't look at me-

I'm ugly in the morning

9. DIGGING THE GRAVE

It would be wrong to ask you why

Because I know what goes inside

Is only half of what comes out

Isn't that what it's about?

To remind us we're alive

To remind us we're not blind

In that big, black hole

Comfortable

Digging the grave, I got it made

Let something in, or throw something out?

You left the door open wide

I know you have a reason why

That knot is better left untied

I just went and undid mine

It takes some time

And the shadows so big

It takes the sun out of the day

And the feeling goes away

If you close the door

Comfortable

10. TAKE THIS BOTTLE

I can wait to love in heaven

I can wait for you

Far away, I'll treat you better

Better than down here

Beacause I've done wrong

And I'm a little afraid

I ain't to strong

So listen to what I say:

Take this bottle

Take this bottle

And just walk away-the both of you

And let me feel the pain-I've done to you

I can hope we'll be together

With a better roof over our heads

I can hope the stormy weather

It passes on-it passes on-

But I've hoped too long

Hoped for me to change

Now that hope is gone

So listen to what I say:

Take this bottle

11. KING FOR A DAY

It is not a good day, if you are not looking good

This is the best party that I've ever been to

Today I asked for a god to pour some wine

in my eyes

Today I asked for someone to shake some

salt on my life

Look!

Everything's spinning

(We're on the ground)

Never cheer before you know who's winning

(Don't make a sound)

Sniff the glass and let it roll around on your tongue

Let me introduce you to someone before the party is done

Someone to look to in need or in want or in war

If you give him everything, he may give you even more

This is the best party that I've ever been to....

Don't let me die with that silly look in my eyes....

12. WHAT A DAY

A piece of mail

A letter head

A piece of hair

From a human head

They're sayin' to me

"I should've killed it"

"I should've killed it"

"I should've killed it before"

You're right, you're right

"Kill the body and the head will die"

They're laughin' at me

"I should've learned it"

"I should've learned it"

"I should've learned it before"

-What a day, what a day

If you can look it in the face

And hold your vomit

A wet sneeze and a "no left turn"

A row of teeth and an encouraging word

Beneath a mile of skin

"I should've noticed it"

"I should've noticed it"

"I should've noticed it before"

What a day

What a day

What a day

Don't you touch it

 

13. THE LAST TO KNOW

Where it grows on trees

But never..... never blooms

Where it hurts the least for whoever

Saw it first

First to go and the last to know

Lasts longer than a lifetime

Takes the least amount of effort

Feels better than a bargain

Just to know it's there

So I don't have to see the light

Can't you see

There's only one me

And that me is me

I know where but I cannot share

You'll call me-I'll stand in line till then

I'll be waiting

Can't you see

All circuits are busy

Please try back again

14. JUST A MAN

Sky is clear tonight

Sky is clear tomorrow

A star is out

I reach for one to sparkle in my hand

A star is out

I will not touch you, I am just a man

Sky is clear tonight

Sky is clear tomorrow

And every night I shut my eyes

So I don't have to see the light

Shining so bright

I'll dream about a cloudy sky,

a cloudy sky

I'll dream about a cloudy sky, a cloudy

"Man was born to love-

Though often he has sought

Like Icarus, to fly too high-

And far too lonely than he ought

To kiss the sun of east and west

And hold the world at his behest-

To hold the terrible power

To whom only gods are blessed-

But me, I am just a man"

And every night I shut my eyes

So I don't have to see the light

Shining so bright

I'll dream about a cloudy sky, a cloudy sky

And every night I shut my eyes

But now I've got them open wide

You've fallen into my hands

And now you're burning me

You're burning me
