Black lipstick, eyeliner
A face like fine china
Bad manners, no graces
they stare with blank faces
And all the girls in town
who used to hang around
and get their make up from you
Don't know the reason why
you sit alone and cry
'cause it couldn't be true
You're a beauty school dropout
(sweet sixteen you were a beauty queen, it was always your dream)
Beauty school dropout
(you got a taste for the fashion scene and it wasn't your scene)
Soft highlights, hair tamer
No one could look lamer
A schoolgirl's repression
Allowed no expression
And all the girls in town
who used to hang around
and get their make up from you
Don't know the reason why
you sit alone and cry
'cause it couldn't be true
You're a beauty school dropout
(sweet sixteen you were a beauty queen, it was always your dream)
Beauty school dropout
(you got a taste for the fashion scene and it wasn't your scene)
Beauty school dropout dropout dropout
Beauty school dropout dropout dropout
Beauty school dropout dropout dropout
Beauty school dropout dropout dropout
Black lace and goth crosses
No color, no glosses
Bad posture, no graces
They stare with blank faces
And all the girls in town
who used to hang around
and get their make up from you
Don't know the reason why
you sit alone and cry
'cause it couldn't be true
You're a beauty school dropout
(sweet sixteen you were a beauty queen, it was always your dream)
Beauty school dropout
(you got a taste for the fashion scene and it wasn't your scene)
Beauty school dropout dropout dropout
Beauty school dropout dropout dropout
Beauty school dropout dropout dropout

I am an eternal optimist.
Something like a freakin’ love octopus.
Eight arms to hold you.
Eight arms to knock you out!
When you think you’ve seen it all before,
everything and everyone’s at war.
And everything is such a drag!
Draggermost, sad almost.
Drag!
Sad again, drag again.
Drag, Drag! We gonna be ok?
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
I look to the side that’s brighter.
Apparently I’m an octopus fighter.
It’s not my nature,
it’s nature’s way out!
When you think you’ve seen it all before,
everything and everyone’s at war.
And everything is such a drag!
Draggermost, sad almost.
Drag!
Sad again, drag again.
Drag, Drag! We gonna be ok?
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
And everything is such a drag!
Draggermost, sad almost.
Drag!
Sad again drag again.
Drag, Drag! We gonna be ok?
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
I am an eternal optimist.
Something like a freakin’ love octopus.
Eight arms to hold you.
Eight arms to knock you out!
DRAG!!!
Draggermost, sad almost.
Drag!
Sad again drag again.
Drag, Drag! We gonna be ok?
And everything is such a drag!
Draggermost, sad almost.
Drag!
Sad again drag again.
Drag, Drag! We gonna be ok?
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
HEY! Hey!
Hey! Hey!

Two lost souls by the side of the road
Shared a dream but it had exploded
Said: I can´t carry your heavy load
But I´ve got six strings here
And they´re heavy loaded
Hey little brother, don’t you understand
I’m waking up the band
Hey little sister, time to be a man
I’m waking up, just waking up the band
We walked for miles and miles, it was killing our feet.
Through the driving snow and the icy sleet
Then we met this guy looking smart and neat
Come on, let’s find a bass - make the band complete
Hey little brother, come and be a fan.
I’m waking up the band
Hey little sister, sticking to the plan
I’m waking up, just waking up the band
Now we’re wired, wide-awake
Rules and records left to break
As we rock and twist and shake
Shake!
Hey little brother, don’t you understand
I’m waking up the band
Hey little sister, time to be a man
I’m waking the band
Hey little brother, come and be a fan
I’m waking up the band
Hey little sister, sticking to the plan
I’m waking up, just waking up
Just waking up, just waking up the band

I thought it was gonna be
You and me against the world
Somehow it turned out to be
You and me against you and me
How many times can you say I'm sorry
I didn't know you couldn't love nobody
So lonely
I thought it was gonna be
You and me against the world
Somehow it turned out to be
You and me against you and me
We fell in love like washing up on an island
It didn't take the storm winds long to find us
And unwind us
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
I told you not to say that you love me
That's when things get good and ugly
So lonely
I thought it was gonna be
You and me against the world
Somehow it turned out to be
You and me against you and me

You don't know, what you have
You gotta kick it bit by bit, to understand
I'm gonna keep your love, close at hand
Make it all go away
Leave the light on, leave the light on for me
Leave it here, while you crash
You don't know what you got, but you got it bad
Turn it off, do what you can
Give it all away
Leave the light on, leave the light on for me
Turn the light on
I only know, when I'm sad
I gotta flip the switch, and realize what I have
I gotta skip the trip, and close my tab
Give it all away, Give it all away

Pegasus is rising
Pegasus is rising
Everyone will see the parade
Everyone will marvel
Just like JC Super weird
We worship him from below
It’s a miracle he was born
Just like the chosen one
To ride above the galaxy
Pegasus is unbound
Pegasus is unmoved
He is the mountain and the heir
And oh you’re such a pretty thing
Where he steps a spring is sprung
Just like the chosen one
To rise above the galaxy

I’ll take my chances
With the chain link fences
In the padlocked night
In the padlocked night
I see through the diamond light
And all the dumb blood in my lungs
It runs and runs and runs and runs away
Under the moon-white glow
Whisper down your telephones
Say goodnight
To the lies you cling to
So tight
I’ll take my chances
With the chain link fences
In the padlocked night
In the padlocked night
I see through the diamond light
The diamond light
The diamond light
I dreamed I was with you
I needed you last night
I wish you were near
You were here with me tonight
It’s a 24 second car crash
It’s a cigarette ash in a flannel lap
It’s the poetry of trashcans
It’s a lazy labored lake drag
I’ll take my chances
With the chain link fences
In the padlocked night
In the padlocked night
I see through the diamond light
The diamond light
The diamond light
The diamond light

You said remember how we used to drive so fast?
Rolling the windows down like it'd make the summer last
If I could find a way
To that beach where we fell asleep
I would be OK
Buried a letter, a lost treasure
For a future me, when I was young and carefree
I guess we're not the same now, it's for the better
We watch the seasons pass, sunburned skin weathered
If I could find a way
To that beach where we fell asleep
I would be OK
Buried a letter, a lost treasure
For a future me, when I was young and carefree
And as we sleep the sand erodes
Out to sea, I lost something. Where'd it go?
You said remember how we used to drive so fast?

We can leave tonight, are you with me
We can run, while they are asleep
Doesn’t matter where we go, as long as you’re with me
Anywhere, is better than here
The morning sun, is so clear
It gives me hope, we’ve escaped fear
The scars on our flesh, remind us to never forget
As we move on, from love we had
As we move on
As we move on
From love we had
The light fallen horizon
Leads us towards a new birth
In the desert we dream a lie
As the campfire warms our hurting
We can leave tonight, are you with me
We can run, while they are asleep
Doesn’t matter where we go, as long as you’re with me
Anywhere is better than here
Anywhere is better than here
Anywhere is better than here

Have you talked to Roxanne at all?
We hung out a week ago
She says she’s sad and doesn’t understand
Why you had to let her go
Yeah, she looked so surprised
I’m not trying to take sides
Because I know that you’re dear old friends of mine
But you really fucked up
It’s just basic stuff that you’ll learn in time
But how’s she gonna take it
When she learns about her replacement
In the blink of an eye, you’ve erased it from your mind
I’m never seen you so happy before
And I think that it’s for real
You said you’ve fallen in love, and it’s cute
I just wonder how it feels
‘Cause you got a head start
Went straight for the heart
You’re telling me she is perfect, kind and smart
Well I’m sure that she is
But does she know what you did?
And were you really ever planning to tell her?
‘Cause how’s she gonna take it
When she learns that she’s the replacement
For a love that couldn’t make it
Or maybe she’s the one you’ve waited for
I told Roxanne she’s better off
As the impartial party does
Hell, I told you the same because
We both know it’s true enough
But did you see a shift?
Were there any hints?
Or was there somebody else, she questioned
Well I couldn’t say yes
And I couldn’t say no
So I’ll just play the idiot
But how’s she gonna take it
When she learns about her replacement
But life’s too short to fake it
Who knows, this time you might just make it work

You knew from early dawn
How the day was getting on
Your fear outruns it
Now comes the sunset
It’s a thing of wonder
A rush of color
With the ideal view
And the best that you can do
Is to gaze into the sunlight
Gaze into the sun
Preparing for that one night
When your face is pale and drawn
And your faith has left and gone
And your fate is looking on just like the cat inside the window
Your age, it suits you well
Routines and rituals
The days soar past
And now comes your last (No no!)
Don’t dream you’re powerless
Just because your hourglass
Is bottom heavy
Your head’s so far from empty
As you stare into the sunlight
Stare into the sun
So hard to see it done right
When your made of breath and brawn
And your mate has left and gone
Your maker’s looking on just like the cat inside the window
Stare into the sunlight
Stare into the sun
So many days undone by
Those stairs that took you down
And those stares that shook the ground
The stars just look around just like the cat inside the window

I'm not here
To answer the door
I'm not here
To pick up you call
I'm at the most unexpected
Place of them all
I'm down the no tell motel
And I think I'm in love
It started out
As a bit of a laugh
It started out
As a lunchtime dash
But the flames they spread
Til they climbed the walls
I'm down the no tell motel
And I'm falling in love
Sun slides sneaky
Through the blinds
I must be outta my mind
You're pretty as a penny when it's minted new
I just can't look away from you
But I gotta go
I gotta go right now
It's good for lovers
To have a place they can go
It's good to have a secret
That nobody knows
Let's avoid all their questions
Just as long as we can
We're down the no tell motel
And we're taking a stand
We're down the no tell motel
And you are my man

She’s got a certain of smile,
The kind that really speaks to me.
Makes my life seem all worthwhile,
Lifts me up and sets me free!
Now I’m strong like Superman,
Since she came into my world.
And her wish is my command,
She’s a very special girl!
I’m the luckiest man in the world,
I’m the luckiest man alive!
Lucky to have a girl like her right by my side.
I’m the luckiest man in the world,
I’m the luckiest man alive!
