Folie à Deux
Album - 10 dicembre 2008 - Debaser id 529296

Say my name, and his in the same breath, I
Dare you to say they taste the same,
Let the leaves fall off in the summer
And let December glow feel flames

Brace myself and let go,
Start it over again in Mexico
These friends, they don't love you
They just love the hotel suites, now

[Chorus X2]
I don't care what you think
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

Oh, take a chance, let your body get a tolerance,
I'm not a chance, but a heat wave in your pants
Pull a breath like another cigarette,
Palms up, I'm trading 'em (trading 'em)

I'm the oracle in my chest,
Let the guitar scream like a fascist,
Sweat it out, shut your mouth,
Free love on the streets, but
In the alley and I ain't that cheap, now

[Chorus X2]
I don't care what you think,
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

Said-a, I don't care just a-what you think,
As long as it's about me, you said-a
I don't care just what you think,
As long as it's about me, you said-a
I don't care (I don't care)
You said I don't care (I don't care)
Said I don't care,
I don't care
I don't care (I don't care), I said-a
I don't care

[Chorus X2]
I don't care what you think,
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery...

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Woah-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Woah-oh, oh, oh

Life's just a pay stub on death, only less diligent
And when the two collide, it's no coincidence
The lights are on and everybody's home
The only thing suicidal here is the door
We had a good run, even I have to admit
Life's just a pay stub on death, only less diligent

Hell or glory, I don't want anything in between
Then came a baby boy with long eyelashes
And daddy said, "you gotta show the world the thunder"
(Woah, oh, oh)
"The thunder"
(Woah, oh, oh)
"The thunder"
(Woah, oh, oh)
"The thunder"
(Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Woah-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Woah-oh, oh, oh

We didn't come to compete, this is a demonstration
Even the young ones become irrelevant
They always bring up how you've changed
(Oh, oh)
Never the same person when I go to sleep
As when I wake up
As when I wake up
(Ba, ba, ba-da
Ba-da, ba, ba-da
Ba-da, ba, ba-da
Ba-da, ba, ba-da
Oh)

Hell or glory, I don't want anything in between
Then came a baby boy with long eyelashes
And daddy said, "you gotta show the world the thunder"
(Woah, oh, oh)
"The thunder"
(Woah, oh, oh)
"The thunder"
(Woah, oh, oh)
"The thunder"
(Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Woah-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Woah-oh, oh, oh

Hell or glory, I don't want anything in between
Then came a baby boy with long eyelashes
And daddy said, "you gotta show the world the thunder"
(Woah, oh, oh)
"The thunder"
(Woah, oh, oh)
"The thunder"
(Woah, oh, oh)
"The thunder"
(Woah, oh, oh)
He said, "play the thunder"
(Woah, oh, oh)
"The thunder, oh"
(Woah, oh, oh)
"The thunder"
(Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Sometimes I wanna quit this all and become an accountant now
But I'm no good at math and besides the dollar is down
Plant palm trees on Lake Michigan before it gets cold
Gotta feel the windchill again before I get old

I wanna scream I love you from the top of my lungs
But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me

You can only blame your problems on the world for so long
Before it all becomes the same old song
As soon as we hit the hospital I know were gonna leave this town
Get new passports and get get get get get out now

The yes men said "No comment,"
My mouth got going the wrong way
And all the calls started snowing
The time my dad caught me a horseshoe crab
And I asked him if throwing it back into the sea would bring our luck back

I wanna scream I love you from the top of my lungs
But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me

You can only blame your problems on the world for so long
Before it all becomes the same old song
As soon as we hit the hospital I know were gonna leave this town
Get new passports and get get get get get out now

Tell that boy Ill leave alone now
Like a stove Ill turn my love down
Supra and the prophet are both in the business of souls (I just wanna be somewhere in between)

I wanna scream I love you from the top of my lungs
But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me

You can only blame your problems on the world for so long
Before it all becomes the same old song
As soon as we hit the hospital I know were gonna leave this town
Get new passports and get get get get get out now

If home is where the heart is then we're all just fucked
I can't remember
I can't remember
And I want it so bad I'd shoot the sunshine into my veins
I can't remember
The good old days

And it's kind of funny
The way we're wearing anchors on our shirts
When being anchored or bored just feels like a curse

My mind is a safe
And if I keep it in we all get rich
My body is an orphanage
We take everyone in
Doing lines of dust and sweat off last night's stage
Just to feel like you

Milligrams in my head
Burning tobacco in the wind chasing the direction
Chasing the direction you went
You're a bottled star
The planets align
You're just like Mars
You shine in the sky
You shine in the sky

Are all the good times getting gone?
The come and go and go and come and go
Oh yeah I've got a lot of friends who are stars
But some are just black holes

My mind is a safe
And if I keep it in we all get rich
My body is an orphanage
We take everyone in
Doing lines of dust and sweat off last night's stage
Just to feel like you

If home is where the heart is then we're all just fucked

Have you ever wanted to disappear
And join a monastery
Go out and preach on Manic Street?
Who will I be when I wake up next to a stranger
On a passenger plane?
(Passenger plane)

Permanent jet lag
Please take me back, (please take me back)
Please take me back
I'm a stray dog sick
Please let me in, (please let me in)
The mad key's tripping
Singing vows before we exchange smoke rings

Give me a pen
Call me Mr. Benzedrine
But don't let the doctor in I wanna blow off steam
Call me Mr. Benzedrine
But don't let the doctor
Don't let the doctor in

It feels like fourteen carats but no clarity
When I look at the man who would be king
The man who would be king
Goes to the desert
The same war his dad rehearsed
Comes back with flags on coffins and said
"We won, oh we won"

Permanent jet lag
Please take me back, (please take me back)
Please take me back, ooh
I'm a stray dog sick
Please let me in, (please let me in)
The mad key's tripping
Singing vows before we exchange smoke rings

Give me a pen
Call me Mr. Benzedrine
But don't let the doctor in, I wanna blow off steam
Call me Mr. Benzedrine
But don't let the doctor
Don't let the doctor in

Ba ba ba ba benzedrine
Bla bla bla benzedrine
Ba ba ba ba ba benzedrine ah
Ba ba ba ba benzedrine
Bla bla bla benzedrine
Ba ba ba ba ba benzedrine ah

Only one book really matters
The rest of the proof is on the television

Call me Mr. Benzedrine
But don't let the doctor, in I wanna blow off steam
Call me Mr. Benzedrine
But don't let the doctor
Don't let the doctor in, oh, oh, ooh

Have you ever wanted to disappear?

''It's not me, it's you
Actually, it's the taxidermy of you and me
Untie the balloons from around my neck and ground me
I'm just a racehorse on the track
Send me back to the glue factory
Always thought I'd float away
And never come back
But I've got enough miles on my card
to fly the boys home on my own
But you know me
I like being all alone
And keeping you all alone
Your charts are boring
And your kids are snoring
You say you're not listening and I said I'm wishing..
and I said .. I Saaaaid!! ''
