On The Ropes

Ah-ah! Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-oh-oh!
I've been fighting for so long, I don't remember why
And when I take it on the jaw, I wanna sit down and cry
I don't wanna fight no more,
I don't wanna fight no more,
I've been fighting for so long,
So who's keeping score?
(pre-chorus)
I'm about to go down for the count
I'm about to throw in the towel
I just don't have fight enough
And no one's crying foul
I've given up
I've lost all hope
I'm on the ropes.
Ah-ah! Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-oh-oh!
Yeah, I can take a punch, I've taken many before
But the struggle never ends, it feels like permanent war
I don't wanna fight no more,
I don't wanna fight no more.
I finally want to make a break, so show me the door.
pre-chorus / instrumental section / chorus
I'm so used to getting beat, it doesn't hurt like it did
But there's gotta be something, something better than this.
I don't wanna fight no more,
I don't wanna fight no more,
I've been fighting for so long,
So who's keeping score?
pre-chorus / breakdown / chorus / truncated chorus

Should Have Done
04:16
|
|||
Is anyone here, is anyone listening to the song I sing for you?
I know it's been hard, but we have yet to fall apart.
I leaned on you, through most of it all, I thought that I was so very strong
But without you, I wouldn't be here at all.
Oh we should have done what we could have done
And we should have won when we could have won
And we might have tried but we we're tired of it all.
Oh, we should have ran when we could have run.
Yeah, we should have loved when we could have loved.
But we didn't love because we're tired of it all.
Again, I ask, is anyone here? Is anyone listening? Can anyone hear?
I'm afraid to cry out, into the dark.
So take my hand, and help me again, I hope that I won't become a burden.
If you want you can walk with me for while.
Let me see you again.
|

Oh, I love to watch the way that you cross the room.
Oh, there's something quite sexy about the way that you do.
And I love the way that you rub up against me sometimes.
It's easy for me to forget that you said you are mine.
Every day feels like the first day.
The first day I met you.
You're always so sharp, you're so sharp I think you'll cut me.
But my heart, oh my heart doesn't care so come on cut me.
And the way that you laugh, oh it's cuts me in half, and I love it.
And the way that you say all the things that you say, oh, I love 'em.
Every day feels like the first day.
The first day I met you.
Do you know that there's nothing, there's nothing, I wouldn't do for you.
So come on ask me something, something to do for you.
And every day, in every way, I will fall in love.
And every day I'll fall in love with you.
Well, someone said that every man wants to be loved.
But every women wants instead to be wanted.
I don't know if that's true, but I'm telling you that I want you.
I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you.
Every day feels like the first day.
The first day I met you.

Let's Start Fires
02:37
|
|||
Let's start fires, let's pull the wires, increase the pressure til it blows.
Let's be rebels, drunk and disheveled, let's ride the lightning 'til we glow.
And the stories that they will tell of us will be quite legendary.
And in the fires of furious revelrie, oh, my love, we will be married.
And the chorus of angels, they will sing,
Let's turn it on.
Let's go wild, let's race for miles, til our blisters are no more.
Make love at midnight, under the moonlight, let the crickets play our score
And the tales of you and I, my love, will be told til the death of time.
The stars will be the crown you wear and the moon, I'll make mine.
Can you hear the poets scribbling
Let's turn it on.
So nevermind the 8 to 5.
And nevermind the bottom line.
Just remember you are mine
to the end.
Let's go crazy, let's keep chasing, the sun outta the east
With a hammer, and a mighty clamor, let's unchain the angry beasts
Let's draw down the sun and the moon again,
Let's sleep when we are ancient.
But for you my love, I could wait so long
That eternity would grow impatient.
And the stars will sing their endless song

The Pretty Kind
03:49
|
|||
I'm enamored with you
I wanna do what you do
So won't you just thrill me?
And if you turn me away
You know that there will be pain
It just might kill me.
'Cause you are one of the pretty kind
You dress so cool and you look so fine
And I adore the brilliance in your eyes.
Oh you are one of the ultra-cool
And you make up all your own damn rules
Ain't nothing I won't do to make you mine.
And I wanna be the one you come home to.
And I wanna be the one who gets to you.
I wanna take you to bed
I wanna get in your head
I wanna touch you all over.
'Cause I think your super-cool
And I'm hoping that you
Won't give me the shoulder.
Beautiful creature, oh, I need ya.
Don't let me down.

Little Rocketship
03:40
|
|||
Oh, I want to be in space,
In a little rocketship
In search of a better place.
I want to find a home,
out amongst the stars
Where I can be alone.
And I will take you there
And we will be somewhere
Far away from hurt.
And we will be in love
Millions of miles above
Looking down on earth.
Let's get there first.
Oh, I want to be in space
Out amongst the stars.
Through the galaxy we'll race.
I want to find a new
Place to populate
Just me and you.
So pack your bags.
And say goodbye
Let's disappear
Oh, let's leave tonight.

Super-Zero, Superhero!
03:21
|
|||
Somedays I'm invincible, other days I crack
And there's just no way of telling when I'll get it back.
Some like the ice. Others like the flame.
But for me, I tell you oh, they both burn the same.
Super Zero, superhero!
Somedays I move very fast, at the speed of thought
Other days I'm not so quick, somedays I get caught.
Some dig the holes. Others fill them in.
But brother let me tell you, I ain't shovelin'.
Super Zero, superhero!
With the power to climb outta bed each day
He beats back the villains of the old ennui
He slays the minutes with a swat of a his hand
And he plays guitar in a rock and roll band.
Alrighty, okay, Super Zero, away!
Somedays I'm invisible, other days I shine.
Doesn't matter who sees me, I'm running out time.
Some make the love. Others make it well.
I just want release from my private prison cell.
Super Zero, superhero!
Super Zero, be my hero, you're my hero anyway.
Super Zero, be my hero, you're my hero everyday.

The sun keeps leaning on me
The sun keeps leaning on me
It's so hot I can hardly breathe
The sun keeps leaning on me.
The sun is a devil in the sky
The sun is a devil in the sky
The heat it burns like the devil's fire
The sun is a devil in the sky.
It's so hot, I wanna strip down
Outta my skin now
And into my bones.
It's so hot, set me aflame now
So I can just cool down.
I need a nice cooling fire.
The sun is a ball of hate
The sun is a ball of hate
And its hate shines down at a 108
The sun is a ball of hate.
The sun keeps leaning on me.
The sun keeps leaning on me.
Nevermind the children, let's everyone flee.
The sun keeps leaning on me.
It's so hot, my cranium's softenin'
Like a ripe avacado
My brain is just mush
It's so hot, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
Hot, hot, hot. Ow.

Great Infinite Wild
04:18
|
|||
Catch me before I fall
I'm spinning out, out of control.
Hold me as hard as you can.
Don't let me escape, or slip through your hands.
It's a beautiful day but it's cold outside
And I am feeling numb.
It's a marvelous life, but I got left out
And I just wanted some.
Let's just runaway, into the great, infinite wild.
Let's get on the road, I'll write a song for every mile.
It's a glorious time, I know that's true
But I still feel so small.
The birds, they sing, but I can't hear anything at all.
I'm going crazy.
Are you going crazy, too?
Kiss me, kiss me now
Kiss me again, kiss me again.
And I will keep somehow
I will abide until the end.
It's a wonderful world, I see that now
I'm seeing so much more.
But I'm afraid of getting caught
outside in the storm.

Stupid Kid
05:55
|
|||
I had a priest when I was young
And I would confess to him
All the sins I had done.
I knew a girl, I was in love
In the way that I
Am always in love
And all my friends
We were kings of the neighborhood
You could ask most anybody
And the summer days, were 4 days long
Yeah, the summer days, were 100 hours strong.
And we never thought we'd ever see those summers go.
Oh, I'd like to find a way to travel back in time
To punch in the face.
God, it's so dumb.
Youth is wasted on the young.
Oh, it's such a crying shame.
Oh, all I need
Is a time machine to
Beat some sense into me.
I have no priest
To tend my sins
But I don't mind
I don't know where I'd begin.
I had a girl.
But I lost her too.
Oh, it was love.
But, hey, what can you do?
And all my friends,
Oh, they got lives,
They found careers
And married their beautiful wives
And the summer days
are minutes long
Yeah, the summer months
Are here and then they are gone.
And every summer's lapped by winter, there goes another year.
I know, the prevailing way of saying
that you're sorry is to say nothing at all.
But I'm so sorry
for my failings.
I'm so
sorry for my faults.

Tami's Song
03:53
|
|||
It's seven, the alarm's going off
But Tami lets it pass
Cause she knows
It is twenty minutes fast.
Twenty minutes later, she begins another day
Oh, she's up
But, it's the mornings that she hates.
And Skyler's snuck out once again
And Emma, who is staying with friends,
Has called to ask,
"Will you bring me my toothbrush?"
And Al is on that fucking game,
The one he never tears himself away from
Not even if he were set on fire
And all that she wants
Is a Rum Runner on an open beach
And all that she wants
is a little live music to sing to.
Crazy D says, "They're after me
The cops are on my tail!"
So she swears
That they're taking her to jail.
And there is no convincing her
There's nothing to be said
Cause she's crazy
She's got a screw loose in her head.
And after hours of insanity
It'd be so nice to pour a drink
And simply, shut down
But that's not in the cards tonight
Cause Emma, oh, she needs a ride
And Al is still on that fucking game.
And all that she wants
Is a Rum Runner on an open beach
And all that she wants
is a little live music to sing to.
Maybe a little Journey to sing to.
And when she needs a break, you'll find her at the lake
Or better yet, you won't find her at all.

Some Things Hurt
04:01
|
|||
It always feels like a pretty raw deal,
When you learn that you've been used.
I know it feels right,
I know it feels good
As good as anything before.
But sometimes you gotta stop before you've got,
A whole lotta hurt in store.
Some people use while others are used,
Like some backwards, broken game.
There's little sense to most everything,
About the way we love and hate.
I don't wanna beat against,
I don't wanna be against the wall.
The friction, the fire, the cheaters, the liars
I don't wanna 'em all.
Some things wound and some things mend.
You don't wanna get them confused.
Some things break and others bend.
The only arbiter is abuse.
I know it feels right, I know it feels good
As good as anything before
But sometimes you gotta stop before you've got
A whole lot worse in store.
Some things build and others destroy.
You don't wanna get them confused.
Some cut quick and others play coy
And some bare flags of truce.
|

13. |

Let's go, go, go down the wild path
Where the poets swing and the madmen laugh.
Let's climb, climb, climb through the city hills
Where the hunters claim the skin of their kills.
Oh, the things that we do, the things that we do
I wanna do 'em with you.
Let's dance, dance, dance underneath the moon
To the pick-up band with the guy playing spoons.
Let's drop, drop, drop from the boughs of a tree
Into the churning, briny sea.
Oh, the things that we do, the things that we do
I wanna do 'em with you.
Where you go, I wanna go.
Let's swing, swing, swing from a telephone pole.
Let's drink all night and tell the stories we know.
Let's fall, fall, fall from the top of a bridge
Yeah, let's make the plunge, just to say that we did.
Oh, the things that we do, the things that we do
I wanna do 'em with you.
Where you go, I wanna go.
I don't wanna be alone.
I've been alone for so damn long
And I am growing weary from it all.
So won't you share a little love
I could use a little love,
Give me wings to help me with the fall.
Oh, I want so very little from this life.
Oh, I get so very little from this life.
I know.
Let's go, go, go down the rabbit hole
I've got the wine and you've got the gold.
Let's fall, fall, fall under a spell
'Cause I love you and that's just as well
Oh, the things that we do, the things that we do
I wanna do 'em with you.
(alternate lyrics)
And when we've reached the very end
And we've run out of time to spend
And all we are is jumbled memories.
We can sit and drink a beer
And laugh about our yester years.
And many will simply not believe.
|
||||
14. |
||||
Yes, I know it's hard, it's getting harder all the time
You put your back against the wall and brace yourself
and push with all your might.
But nothing's moving, nothing's going anywhere
And you shove til you're exhausted
throw your hands up
and you cry out in despair
But don't you ever give up
No, don't you let it get its claws into you
Those other motherfuckers, oh, what do they do?
So let's crack open a bottle
And let us tune up our guitars
And let us sing to the dying of the stars
Oh, let us sing
For the songs that never get heard
Let's set it on fire
And watch it burn
Oh, sing with me
Make the heavens tremble with our song
Cause sooner than later, we'll be gone.
There's thieves and liars everywhere you turn
And the more time that you spend with them,
The more like them, you'll become, you'll learn
And it hurts to say it but I don't like where we've arrived
Where the rich keep getting richer
And the poor,
Well, the poor, they just keep dying.
I'm just a broken songster
Writing songs that no one will buy.
I have no power to make it right
But here's another song love
A song I sing with all of my heart
I know it's tough
And it's falling apart
So let us sing
For the songs that never get heard
Let's set it on fire
And watch it burn
Oh, sing with me
Make the heavens tremble with our song
Cause sooner than later, we'll be gone.
Let us sing away the pain
Let us sing a song that makes it all okay
And if I sing a bit too long
Oh, I hope you'll forgive me this song.

Karla's Song
03:37
|
|||
When the phone chimed
Telling her she had a text
She was angry
For she knew just who had left it
Even though she had erased his number from
her phone
She had it memorized,
Oh, how could she not
After their history,
How could she have forgot?
There was no way
It was emblazoned in her memory
She was almost over him, you see.
She was almost over him, you see.
So she opened her phone reluctantly.
Let's go back six years, or maybe it was five
And she was working at the library part-time
When she met the boy that would turn her world
Upside-down.
He was a gamer, he was ostensibly a geek
He liked sci-fi and he played some D&D
And he made her laugh
Until he made her weep
She was almost over him, you see.
She was almost over him, you see.
So she opened her phone reluctantly.
So she opened it up and it read,
"I. MISS. YOU."
Three words.
"I. MISS. YOU."
Really?
"I. MISS. YOU."
So she responded with just one word.
"Bullshit."
So they're together and they're hoping for the best
But she remembers every minute of the past
So she holds on tight to every moment of joy
Since she opened her phone.

Today is beautiful day.
Let's get out, let's go and play.
I wanna see you in the sun.
Let's go hang with everyone.
Let's drink our fill of beers.
It's the perfect time of year.
Today is beautiful day.
Let's call in sick today.
I wanna get out in the sun.
I wanna hang with everyone.
Come lover let's
Get out in the sun and sweat
Summer is a time for falling in love.
A time for gettin' out of the push and shove
Let's fall in love in the summer.
Today is a beautiful day.
Let's not let it waste way.
Let's go hang with all our friends.
I hope the summer never ends.
Let's go breathe the summer air.
The day has never been so fair.
Summer is a time for singing songs with friends.
A time for making love that never ends.
Let's get out in the summer.

Unstoppable (Rough Demo)
04:04
|
|||
I'm too afraid to ever try to kill myself
I'm too scared of not being around
But I don't know why I'm holding on so desperately
'Cause nothing is building, instead it's tumbling down.
I feel like the end of a song, oh I'm fading out.
Certainly once everyone sang along.
But the last refrain was oh, so long ago
And no one cares for a song gone on too long.
So let's say goodbye, remember me to your family
Oh, hold on tight to the memory of when we used to be
Thicker than thieves, larger than life
Like demigods at a bacchanal
With fire in our hearts and stars in our eyes
We were fucking unstoppable.
So let's say goodbye, remember me to your family
Oh, hold on tight to the memory of what used to be.
I know you're done, you've moved on, and you left me here.
And sometimes when you see me, oh, you smile.
And you think to yourself, at least he's still fighting the good fight.
But I'm here to say, you can go straight to hell.
Oh, my fire will never go out.
My fire will never burn down.
I'll sing it again, I 'll sing it out loud.
|

18. |

Oh, my heart is full of sand
and my intellect's unmanned
and my joy has been remanded without
bond.
Oh, my fires do not burn
And my yearnings do
not yearn
And I want for want
it's all I want.
there is nothing I can do
I've been bled
dry
It's true.
Oh my dreams have all been dreamt
And my hope is all but spent
And I plan on making
plans some
other day.
So let me disconnect
let me suffer from neglect
let me disaffect everything
Doo, doo, doo, I don't know what to do.
My star has lost its shine
Oh, the darkness I've made
mine.
My ways is lost and I don't mind
at all.
My voice is barely heard.
And I cannot find the words
As I sit alone in my bedroom.

Sex is fun,
let's do it again
let's stay home tonight. (2x)
I want you so
So take off your clothes
And come over here and let me
love you, honey.
Sex is fun,
Let's do it again,
Let's stay home tonight. (2x)
Oh, I'm down with romance
But, let's take off our pants
And the rest of it too
I'm gonna love you.
And when we're making love
Oh, we're on fire
Well, not actually on fire.
Being on fire would really suck
I bet it hurts
I bet it really does.
But oh, I'm gonna love you.
And oh, you're gonna love me.
And ten minutes after we'll done we'll fall asleep.
I know that it must sting when I fall asleep
But know that you can always just wake me.
All I ask is that you give me ten minutes...
Maybe 20

So Bloody Tired
03:04
|
|||
I'm so tired, I just wanna lay down
And rest my eyes and finally fall asleep
I'm so worn from carrying this burden
I just wanna put it down and finally sleep
I just want to fall into a dreamless sleep
For a thousand years I'll keep
I just need to give in to the torpor
I just want to sleep it all away
I don't ever want to wake
Oh, to fall into the deepest slumber
I'm so tired, I think I will lay down
And rest my head upon the naked ground
And she you see my recumbent body
Would you throw some earth
And leave without a sound?

(This song was written to intentionally confuse the lyrics. So, I'm gonna not post them here. But, if you want to hear each voice clearly, just listen to the left headphone and then listen to the right. They are hard-panned, to make it easier to understand.)
