You used to say (that you liked my ass) I would straighten your tie (and you'd unzip my dress) You had a blast (when I blew up the house) I would kill them all (if they came for you*) *You have lost the plot You never had it so good I killed him for you I blew him away I could have chosen him But you had a bigger gun You would listen to me (when I was such a bitch) I would bail you out (when bond took out your boss) You would case the joint (and I would steal a car) I would rob the bank (and you would get us away) You would hold me close (and I would keep you free) I would kill them all (if they came for you*) *You turned into a douche You're not the man that I knew I killed him for you I blew him away I could have chosen him But you had a bigger gun I killed him for you I blew him away I could have chosen him But you had a bigger gun You expected perfection I expected confection I killed him for you I blew him away I could have chosen him But you had a bigger gun

There's this thing that I do I don't care whether you like it It's the way that I am Nothing to be done about it There's this thing that you do I love it and I hate it It's the way that you are and you won't ever change it Can't win this game Can't get even Can't lose this There is nothing else Can't stop this Out of control Can't quit this game There is no way out Please help me I'm lost at sea Save yourself Don't drown with me Please help me I'm lost at sea Save yourself Don't drown with me I am over this shit What am I supposed to do Make a fool of myself To prove something to you You're toying with me I can not really handle this Who do you think that you are I will rid myself of you* *You are not my master You are not my nemesis Can't win this game Can't get even Can't lose this There is nothing else Can't stop this Out of control Can't quit this game There is no way out Please help me I'm lost at sea Save yourself Don't drown with me

We were so good together, I thought it would last forever. Then came the tears and the hungry years, alone in the space station just you and your imagination. You chose the stratosphere over what we had down here. Now I count the stars and cry as I stare at the evening sky and wait for the fog to clear so I can feel you near because all I have of you is a view of Saturn's moons. When you said you needed space You meant outer space. I'm in freefall since you left me I'm in freefall, zero gravity. (precious synth solo) I'm in freefall since you left me I'm in freefall, zero gravity. It seems such a lonely place that empty station up in space do you miss me when you look down and see the earth so small and round? Or do you look the other way at the future as it meets today? Was it love, that spark in your eye - or just a comet streaking by? I guess I'll never know why you had to let me go. It seems such a lonely place that empty station up in space. It seems such a lonely place that empty station up in space. It seems such a lonely place that empty station up in space.

First, I was alone, and then I saw you coming And you, you turned around and I saw your face Before you came, I was so afraid, I was always running And now you're here, we're both here, standing in one place And I say, How can it be that you're in love with me I can't believe that I deserve you. I never thought I'd see the day that I could ever feel this way and even if we ever part you will always have my heart Now, that I have you I feel like I'm flying And we, we live our lives in a state of grace Before you came, I was so afraid, living felt like dying But now my days, they all end in your warm embrace And I say, How can it be that you're in love with me I can't believe that I deserve you. How can it be so that love's the status quo It's like all my dreams have come true I never thought I'd see the day that I could ever feel this way and even if we ever part you will always have my heart

Let Alone 02:27
I couldn't believe it when I saw you at the mall, Could I ever have such luck? It couldn't be true at all How could I get a guy like you, let alone one who's so tall? I couldn't believe it when you lead me to a stall and then you pushed me up, right against the wall then you held me up so tight so I wouldn't slip and fall. This is the best job I have ever had Working in the fashion mall Party in the bathroom stall Making extra money and avoiding mom and dad I know you have a girlfriend but that problem isn't mine You can't fight destiny, when the stars align How could I get a guy like you, let alone one who's so fine? I know you are a player and maybe it's just the wine But the way you feel against me is utterly devine Meet me later in the parking lot? I get off at nine. Everything is better since I turned 21 Working in the fashion mall Drinking lots of alcohol Getting with the hottest guys, impressing everyone. I couldn't believe it when I saw her in the parking lot I could tell she was your girlfriend by the way that you guys fought I hid behind a truck and you dumped her on the spot! Now that she's out of here our love can have a shot We don't have to sneak around and try not to get caught How could I get a guy like you, let alone one who's so hot? You are the coolest guy I have ever kissed Working in the fashion mall Till the summer turns to fall Counting down the moments till our next lunchtime tryst

I've been trying to keep up with Jones but I rent my Mercedes and you know he owns I can hide that problem with my credit cards out you know I'm not going to let him find out that I'm walking around in last year's shoes Baby, it's all debt so I've got nothing to lose But a few pounds, Get that weight down. Who said that money can't buy happiness? Life sucks? Takes Drugs. Problem solved. Remember, when you feel distressed Life sucks, Takes Drugs. Problem solved. (Easy!) My online profile says I'm still 29 but everyone lies, so it's totally fine You know I'll never mention that I'm still unemployed Age and money are the topics you should always avoid In fact, that's the reason that I quit therapy I'd rather save that money for blepharoplasty So I take pills, Five more refills. Who said that money can't buy happiness? Life sucks? Takes Drugs. Problem solved. Remember, when you feel depressed Life sucks, Takes Drugs. Problem solved. (Easy!)

I knew it wasn't right, what I saw that night, the way you looked at her under that street light. her skirt blew in the breeze I felt my heart freeze, there past her thigh highs your hand was squeezed. I ran off in the snow. You didn't even know when I finally left you it was why I had to go. The snow it melts away gets warmer every day. It happened over time, I forgot the sunshine. Now with the darkness past I am free at last and I wonder if its true if I ever loved you. And now this bird has flown You're reaping what you've sewn I hear you tried to find me I'm better off alone I wasn't very smart But, it's time for a new start I think I'll raise a glass and toast my broken heart You're such a fucking guy you didn't even try I don't know what to say now besides, I hope you die.

Last Call 05:13
Afraid of the dark, but I hide from the light Wait to open my eyes 'til a flash of lightening I turn a corner in Heisenberg space And stumble blindly toward the cliff face I hear voice call from above or below? I'll never find it With my eyes closed. I cross my fingers and jump over the edge I open my eyes in a flash of lightening It's all around me, a magical place The fear disappears, this must be heaven! I hear a voice call It's coming from me. I knew I would find it There's no going home. I've found the light I've made last call Keep my eyes open I've made last call
