Neither ghost nor a transient spirit Just a face staring out another window Looking through all the lights of Brooklyn Where the dark has a million other faces I, I, I like gettin' lonely I, I, I miss this feelin' I, I, I feel no fear in bein' Lonely, lonely, I wanna be lonely I wanna be alone just like the, the Jackson Whites I feel the apocalypse is within my sight Mother, when you see your blue eyed boy Would you still love him now? The city ain't no place for layin' down There's better wage in hell than here right now And damn, if I'm not A dyin' man, I lie dyin' in a hole I'm a dyin' man, I lie dyin' in a hole I'm a Never graced as a true companion I burn circles in the forest of reason I break off and I penetrate alone The full weight of the emptiness callin' I, I, I wanna be nowhere I, I wanna tell you somethin' I, I have a barrel of opinions Lonely, lonely, I'm everlone, everlone I wanna be alone just like the, the Jackson Whites I feel the apocalypse is within my sight Mother, when you see your blue eyed boy Would you still love him now? The city ain't no place for layin' down There's better wage in hell than here right now And damn, if I'm not A dyin' man, I lie dyin' in a hole I'm a dyin' man, I lie dyin' in a hole I'm a dyin' man, I lie dyin' in a hole I'm a dyin' man, I lie dyin' in a hole I'm a I wanna be alone just like the, the Jackson Whites I feel the apocalypse is within my sight Mother, when you see your blue eyed boy Would you still love him now?

I've been lookin' for a new direction Found the cheapest way of sellin' out Got the science down to perfection So do what you want, do what you will But do it now You'll learn somethin', your cred means nothin' The world wants nothing but hits Until it makes you sick 'Cause all we are, are broken pieces A sacred heart on a plastic Jesus We mean nothin', nothin' 'Cause all we are, are broken pieces A sacred heart on a plastic Jesus We mean nothin', nothin' to anyone Just like a plastic Jesus, hey! 'Cause all we are, are broken pieces A sacred heart on a plastic Jesus We mean nothin', nothin' 'Cause all we are, are broken pieces A sacred heart on a plastic Jesus We mean nothin', nothin' 'Cause all we are, are broken pieces A sacred heart on a plastic Jesus We mean nothin', nothin' to anyone Just like a plastic Jesus, hey!

These are the words that I've saved Saved for the perfect day, but they won't get used If I keep waitin' on you This is the way that I feel I wish that it wasn't real, but it's more than true I can't keep waitin' on you So open your eyes and see where I'm standin' Straight in your line of sight. so you Should make up your mind Do what it is that you need to 'Cause I'm not leaving You are the only one that I think about When I'm down and out and miles away You are the only one, when we're fallin' out I wanna make it better These are the words that I should have told you All of the times that I just ignored you I would give you everything I have So let's just start all over again Now that the games we've played Were stripped down and thrown away, I can clearly see That you've been waitin' on me So open your eyes and see where I'm standing Straight in your line of sight so you Should make up your mind Do what it is that you need to 'Cause I'm not leaving You are the only one that I think about When I'm down and out and miles away You are the only one, when we're fallin' out I wanna make it better These are the words that I should have told you All of the times that I just ignored you I would give you everything I have So let's just start all over again Bygones are bygones and they should stay that way We've got the world at our fingers, let's stick it back together We could make it better, we could make it better You are the only one that I think about When I'm down and out and miles away You are the only one, when we're fallin' out I wanna make it better These are the words that I should have told you All of the times that I just ignored you I would give you everything I have So let's just start all over again

When the people ceased to cheer for John of Violence He resigned to spend his time in a tomb of silence And when he struck out for the third and final time On lifeline number nine There was nothing left to be unafraid of And moments from the bridge, payback is a bitch And you never know until you're fallin' just how far that is Keeping to the plan, things got out of hand And his taste for flesh was nothing else Than biting feeding hands and tastin' silence John of Violence When you feed a demon alcohol and sedatives The amnesia that kills regret is relative To the sum of the sins that you're tryin' to forget Once the reputation's set As one man thinks it uncool to remember And moments from the bridge, payback is a bitch And you never know until you're fallin' just how far that is Keeping to the plan, things got out of hand And his taste for flesh was nothing else Than biting feeding hands and tastin' silence And moments from the bridge, payback is a bitch And you never know until you're fallin' just how far that is Keeping to the plan, things got out of hand And his taste for flesh was nothing else Than biting feeding hands And moments from the bridge, payback is a bitch And his taste for flesh was nothing else Than biting feeding hands and tastin' silence

(Wo-woah, wo-woah) (Wo-woah, wo-woah) You'll never see her out on her own She always seems like a tower of stone She's never angry most of the time She's outta sight and I'm outta my mind (Wo-woah, wo-woah) (Wo-woah, wo-woah) She'll never judge and she's never in doubt I'm the only bad thing to come out of her mouth She brings the best out of all of her friends Her golden era, it never ends The girl away from me is still as far away as she's ever been The girl away from me is still so far away (Wo-woah, wo-woah) (Wo-woah, wo-woah) And she'll drink most guys under the bar And not get sick in the back of the car Okay, so her music and her movies are bland These days it's enough to get a nine out of ten The girl away from me is still as far away as she's ever been The girl away from me is still so far away (Wo-woah, wo-woah) (Wo-woah, wo-woah) The girl away from me is still as far away as she's ever been (Wo-woah, wo-woah) (Wo-woah, wo-woah) (Wo-woah, wo-woah) (Wo-woah, wo-woah) Mester Jakob, Mester Jakob Sover du? Sover du? Hører du ej klokken? Hører du ej klokken? Bim, bam, bum, bim, bam, bum Mester Jakob, Mester Jakob Sover du? Sover du? Hører du ej klokken? Hører du ej klokken?

Can a man make a difference? Could our God have a preference? When tomorrow needs a legacy Where will the unit shifters be? When the future needs a soundtrack Not a name on a contract Only justice and quality Not a face on a TV When melody and words are free And consumers are singin' in harmony They will bow to the ground of the glitterest sound And the bells will ring as the populace sing Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah All praise that the greatest man Who ever walked on the earth is still around When a need is not satisfied Mediocrity is utilised But the need does not disappear It only hibernates another year When the people call out for change No corporation holds the reins When the people demand to feel They will take hold of the wheel When melody and words are free And consumers are singin' in harmony They will bow to the ground of the glitterest sound And the bells will ring as the populace sing Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah All praise that the greatest man Who ever walked on the earth is still around

In the centre of the thunder Selfishly I wander Along the road of evil Through the canyons where Hope can't find me there And I divorce myself from feeling Nothing's gonna let me down now Nothing's gonna let me down now Shallow breathing makes it so hard to fight this The calmest storm could blow me away Stop the bleeding before you start a crisis And keep the poison potent as it courses through my veins Blackened windows hide the secrets The sickness and the weakness Locked up with the regrets Stolen eyes deny That the world outside Has an offer that can beat this Nothing's gonna let me down now Nothing's gonna let me down now Shallow breathing makes it so hard to fight this The calmest storm could blow me away Stop the bleeding before you start a crisis And keep the poison potent as it courses through my veins My veins Yeah Shallow breathing makes it so hard to fight this The calmest storm could blow me away Stop the bleeding before you start a crisis And keep the poison potent as it courses through my veins My veins Yeah

Butter coconut as a welcome smell Baby pigeon seed on the window sill Kitchen cupboard full of granola bars Walking through the city beneath the stars And loving every dog on the Lower East Side Fighting for the bill in the taxi ride Your pink knickers sit on the living room floor ‘Cause no one wants to clear them up no more It rained the day You took that ride to JFK And made your way back home again There’s nothing much more lonely than The rain beating down on the fire escape The grey skies over the United States When you walk You took the sunshine from New York You took the sunshine from New York You took the sunshine from New York You took the sunshine from New York You took the Tiny little squares of Green & Blacks Watching DVDs of tits and ass Long summer days on Rockaway Beach Surprisingly hard and far to reach Homies in a box for 50¢ The squirrels kinda wondered where you went The bathroom seems a little light on stuff The bed’s unmade and the TV’s off It rained the day You took that ride to JFK And made your way back home again There’s nothing much more lonely than The rain beating down on the fire escape The grey skies over the United States When you walk You took the sunshine from New York You took the sunshine from New York You took the sunshine from New York You took the sunshine from New York And when you go Things slow back down To the crawl That drags me around It rained the day You took that ride to JFK And made your way back home again There’s nothing much more lonely than The rain beating down on the fire escape The grey skies over the United States When you walk You took the sunshine from New York You took the sunshine from New York You took the sunshine from New York You took the sunshine from New York You took the sunshine

There's a fever in the cabin There's a devil in the garden A shark fin in the brainwaves Stopping anything starting Grey skies fight and the sun dies shining Then the telephone rings with a silver lining Take me out, take me out tonight Get me hooked in good and stick the wheels on tight Take me out, take me out tonight 'Cause when the light has gone Just a whole lot of shakes going on Yeah If I can wait a little longer If I can keep on believing Just a location and a number Is all the intel I'll be needing Where the lights are bright and the girls are smiling Where it sounds so good it'll stop me thinking Take me out, take me out tonight Get me hooked in good and stick the wheels on tight Take me out, take me out tonight 'Cause when the light has gone Just a whole lot of shakes going on Grey skies fight and the sun dies shining Then the telephone rings with a silver lining Where the lights are bright and the girls are smiling Where it sounds so good it'll stop me thinking Just a whole lot of shakes going on Just a whole lot of shakes going on Just a whole lot of shakes going on Just a whole lot of shakes going on

It's kinda hard to relax when the city's alive Man, what a place Got to hustle Got to show everyday Being good ain't enough Got to beat other guys This approach ain't a race It's a fight to the death There is no second place Only first Kinda weird don't you think? Only thing is there's no time to think If you do reach a point Late at night Then you will fall asleep Even then time is off like a train Got to hold on tight It's kinda hard to relax When the city's alive 24 hours a day Every day Hey hey hey It's kinda hard to reach out When they don't know you're alive Keep up Look ahead Gather your chutzpah Rich is the man With the sense that a self Is a part of the sum Of the whole entity Meet the man who provides nothing more Than a life for himself He will eat, never taste Never feel what it is To give all this away And receive in return More than he ever had In the land of the free And the home of the brave May the brave be the meek And the free be the brave It's kinda hard to relax When the city's alive 24 hours a day Every day Hey hey hey It's kinda hard to reach out When they don't know you're alive Maybe on account of the economy Troubles on the up Seem a little more pronounced
