Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge
Album - 8 giugno 2004 - Debaser id 132648

Long ago
Just like the hearse you died to get in again
We are so far from you

Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst you take(worst you take)
From every heart you break (heart you break)
And like a blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been holding on tonight

[Chorus]
What's the worst that I could say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight

Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
And what's the worst you take(worst you take)
From every heart you break (heart you break)
And like a blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been holding on tonight

[Chorus]
What's the worst that I could say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight

And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight

Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend to leave and then
We'll meet again, when both our cars collide

[Chorus]
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight

And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight

He calls the mansion not a house but a tomb
He's always choking from the stench and the fume
The wedding party all collapsed in the room
So send my resignation to the bride and the groom
Let's go down

This elevator only goes up to ten.
He's not around, he's always looking at men
Down by the pool he doesn't have many friends
As they are
Face down and bloated, snap a shot with the lens

If you marry me
Would you bury me?
Would you carry me to the end?

Say goodbye to the vows you take
And say goodbye to the life you make
And say goodbye to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank

She keeps a picture of the body she lends
Got nasty blisters from the money she spends
She's got a life of her own and it shows by the Benz she drives at 90 by the Barbies and Kens

If you ever say never too late
I'll forget all the diamonds you ate
Lost in coma and covered in cake
Increase the medication
Share the vows at the wake
(Kiss the bride)

If you marry me
Would you bury me?
Would you carry me to the end?
Say goodbye to the vows you take
And say goodbye to the life you make
And say goodbye to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank

So say goodbye to the last parade
And walk away from the choice you've made
And say goodnight to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank

Say goodbye to the vows you take
And say goodbye to the life you make
And say goodbye to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank

Say goodbye to the last parade
And walk away from the choice you've made
And say goodnight to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank

To the last parade
And the parties fade
And the choice you make
To the end

Words that only appear in the video clip
Ray Toro: You like D&D, Audrey Hepburn, Fangoria, Harry Houdini and croquet, you can't swim, you can't dance and you don't know karate. Face it, you're never going to make it.
Gerard Way: I don't want to make it. I just want...
End of words that only appear in the video clip

Well if you wanted honesty that's all you had to say
I never want to let you down or have you go
It's better off this way
For all the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor

I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out

What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems
(I'm not okay)
I've told you time and time again, you sing the words but don't know
(I'm not okay)
What it means
To be a joke and look
Another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook
For the last time--take a good hard look

I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out

Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
You said you'd read me like a book
But the pages all are torn and frayed

I'm okay
I'm okay
I'm okay
Now I'm okay
Now
But you really need to listen to me
Because I'm telling you the truth
I mean this
I'm okay
Trust me

I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm not o-fucking-kay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
(Okay)

I never said I'd lie in wait forever
If I did we'd be together
I can't always just forget her
But she could try

At the end of the world or the last thing I see
You are never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever ever

Ever
Get the feeling
That you're never
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms
She dies
She dies

At the end of the world or the last thing I see
You are never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me

If I fall
If I fall down

At the end of the world or the last thing I see
You are never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home

And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna...

Sister, I'm not much a poet but a criminal
And you never had a chance
Love it or leave it, you can't understand
A pretty face but you do so carry on
And on and on

I wouldn't front the scene if you paid me
I'm just the way that the doctor made me
On and on and on and on
Love is the red of the rose on your coffin door
What's life like bleeding on the floor?
The floor, the floor

You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give me a reason to believe

So gimme all your poison
And gimme all your pills
And gimme all your hopeless hearts and make me ill
You're running after something that you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will

Preach all you want but who's gonna save me?
I keep a gun on the book that you gave me
Hallelujah, lock and load
Black is the kiss, the touch of the serpent son
It ain't the mark or the scar that makes you run
And run and run and run

You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give me your reason to believe

So gimme all your poison
And gimme all your pills
And gimme all your hopeless hearts and make me ill
You're running after something that you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will

You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
You wanna follow something
Give me a better cause to lead
Just give me what I need
Give me a reason to believe

So gimme all your poison
And gimme all your pills
And gimme all your hopeless hearts and make me ill
You're running after something that you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will

So gimme all your poison
(Fire at will)
And gimme all your pills
And gimme all your hopeless hearts and make me ill
(Fire at will)
You're running after something that you'll never kill
(Fire at will)
If this is what you want
(Fire at will)
Then fire at will

Wait until it fades to black
Ride into the sunset
Would I lie to you?
Well I've got something to say
Grab your six-gun from your back
Throttle the ignition
Would I die for you?
Well here's your answer in spades

Shotgun sinners, wild-eyed jokers
Got you in my sights
Gun it while I'm holding on

After all is said and done
Climb out from the pine box
Well I'm asking you
Cause she's got nothing to say
The angels just cut out her tongue
Call her Black Mariah
Would I lie to you?
That girl's not right in the brain

Mass convulsions
Strike the choir
By the grace of God
Gun it while I'm holding on

But, don't stop
If I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby don't stop
Bury me and fade to black

She won't stop me, put it down
She won't stop me, put it down
She won't stop me, put it down
So get your gun and meet me by the door

She won't stop me, put it down
She won't stop me, put it down
She won't stop me, put it down
So get your gun and meet me by the door

She won't stop me, put it down
She won't stop me, put it down
She won't stop me, put it down
So get your gun and meet me by the door

She won't stop me, put it down
She won't stop me, put it down
She won't stop me, put it down
So baby

Don't stop
If I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby don't stop
Bury me and fade to black

Don't stop
If I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby don't stop
Bury me and fade to black

This night
Walk the dead
In a solitary style and crash the cemetery gates
In the dress your husband hates

Way down
Mark the grave
Where the searchlights find us drinking by the mausoleum door
And they found you on the bathroom floor

I miss you
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard

Back home
Off the run
Singing songs that make you slit your wrists
It isn't that much fun
Staring down a loaded gun
So I won't stop dying
Won't stop lying
If you want I'll keep on crying
Did you get what you deserve?
Is this what you always want me for?

I miss you
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard

Way down (x8)

I miss you
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard

And well I miss you
And well I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
That made it so hard

Way down (x9)

Stay out of the light
Or the photograph that I gave you
You could say a prayer if you need to
But just get in line and I'll grieve you
Can I meet you?
Alone
Another night and I'll see you
Oh, another night and I'll be you
Some other way to continue
To hide my face

Another knife in my hands
A stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off
I'm so dirty, babe
The kind of dirty where the water never cleans off the clothes
I keep a book of the names and those
Only go so far
'Til you bury them
So deep and down we go

Touched by angels though
I fall out of grace
I did it all so maybe
I'd live this every day

Another knife in my hands
A stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off
I'm so dirty, babe
It ain't the money and it sure as hell ain't just for the fame
It's for the bodies I claim and those
Only go so far
'Til you bury them
So deep and down we go
Down
And down we go
And down we go
And down we go
And we all fall down

I tried
I tried

And we'll all dance alone to the tune of your death
We'll love again
We'll laugh again
And it's better off this way

And never again
And never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now

Well never again
And never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now

I tried
One more night
One more night
Well I'm laughing, crying, laughing
I tried
Well I tried
Well I tried
'Cause I tried
But I lied
I, I tried
I tried
I tried

And we'll love again
We'll laugh again.
We'll cry again and we'll dance again
And it's better off this way
So much better off this way
I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed

Never again
And never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now
