Oh No
Album - 16 agosto 2005 - Debaser id 232007

When they finally come to destroy the Earth,
they'll have to go through you first.
I bet they won't be expecting that.

When they finally come to destroy the Earth,
They'll have to deal with you first,
And now my money says they won't know about
The thousand Fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes.
Invincible. You're invincible.
That crushing, crashing, atom-smashing, white-hot thing... It's invincible.

When they finally come, what'll you do to them?
Gonna decimate them like you did to me?
Will you leave them stunned and stuttering?
When they finally come, how will you handle them?
Will you devastate them deliberately?

'Cause I'm gonna guess they won't be prepared for
Thousand-Fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes.
Invincible. You're invincible.
That crushing, crashing, atom-smashing, white-hot thing... It's invincible.
So, please use your powers for good. You're invincible.

It could be ten but then again
I can't remember half an hour since a quarter to four
Throw on your clothes the second side of Surfer Rosa
And you leave me with my jaw on the floor, hey

Oh, just when you think you're in control
Just when you think you've got a hold
Just when you get on a roll

Oh, here it goes
Here it goes
Here it goes again
Oh, here it goes again
I should have known
Should have known
Should have known again
But here it goes again
Oh, here it goes again

It starts out easy, something simple, something sleazy
Something inching past the edge of the reserve
Now through lines of the cheap venetian blinds
Your car is pulling off of the curb, hey

Oh, just when you think you're in control
Just when you think you've got a hold
Just when you get on a roll

Oh, here it goes
Here it goes
Here it goes again
Oh, here it goes again
I should have known
Should have known
Should have known again
But here it goes again
Oh, here it goes again
Oh, here it goes again
Oh, here it goes again
Oh, oh, here it goes again
Oh, oh
Oh, here it goes again
Yeah, oh, here it goes again
Oh, here it goes

I guess there's got to be a break in the monotony
But Jesus, when it rains how it pours
Throw on your clothes the second side of Surfer Rosa
And you leave me
Yeah, you leave me

Oh, here it goes
Here it goes
Here it goes again
Oh, here it goes again
I should have known
Should have known
Should have known again
But here it goes again
Oh, here it goes
Oh, here it goes
Oh, here it goes again
I should have known
I should have known
But here it goes again
Oh, here it
Oh, here it
Oh, here it
Oh, here it
Oh, here it
Oh, here it goes again
I should have
I should have
I should have
I should have
I should have known
Oh, oh, yeah
I should have known
Oh, here it goes it again
Oh, here it goes it again

(oh no) Oh lately it's so quiet in this place
You're not 'round every corner
(oh no) Oh lately it's so quiet in this place
So darling, if you're not here haunting me
I'm wondering...

Whose house are you haunting tonight?
Whose sheets you twist,
Whose face you kiss?
Whose house are you haunting tonight?

I don't think much about you anymore
You're not on every whisper
I don't think much about you
But if you're not lurking behind every curtain
I'm wondering...

Whose house are you haunting tonight?
Whose name you hiss,
Who's clenching fists?
Whose house, are you haunting tonight?

Now whose house are you haunting tonight?
Who can't resist,
Who's cryin?
Whose house are you haunting tonight?
Whose name you hiss,
Whose sheets you twist?
Whose house are you haunting tonight? (oh no)

Crash and burn, crash and burn, crash and burn (crash and burn)
Patience is the hallmark of the old and the infirm
Lived and learned, lived and learned, lived and learned
Out lived theer lust and traded want in for concern
Singing that's all right
Yeah that's all right
Aw that's all right

So come on down, come on down, come on down (come on down)
Get out our pestilence and vice and pass them around
And blow this town blow this town blow this town
Jump off this ship before the shit just runs aground
Singin' that's all right
Aw that's all right
Aw that's all right

It's a disaster
It's an incredible mess
But it's all we've got now
Yeah it's all we got
Howling with laughter, panic
alarm, and distress
But it's all we've got now
Yeah it's all we got

Head or tails, heads or tails, heads or tails (heads or tails)
Are you dumb enough to break the mold
or smart enough to fail?
Oh happy trails happy trails oh happy trails
Can't beat a little bit of envy in your sails.

Singing that's all right
Yeah that's all right
Oh that's all right

But it's a disaster
It's an incredible mess
But it's all we've got now
Yeah it's all we got
Howling with laughter, panic, alarm, and distress
But it's all we've got now
Yeah it's all we got

Sit back, matter of fact
Teasing, toying, turning, chatting, charming
Hissing, playin' the crowd

Play that song again
Another couple Klonopin
A nod, a glance, a half-hearted bow

Oh such grace
Oh such beauty
And lipstick and callous
And fishnets and malice
Oh darlin'

You're a million ways to be cruel
(One zero zero zero zero zero zero cruel)
You're a million ways to be cruel
(One zero zero zero zero zero zero cruel)
You're a million ways to be cruel

I should, I wish I could, maybe if you were I would
A list of standard issue regrets
One last eighty proof, slouchin' in the corner booth
Baby, it's as good as it gets

Oh such grace
Oh such beauty
So precious, suspicious, and charming and vicious
Oh darlin'
You're a million ways
Oh darlin'

You're a million ways to be cruel
(One zero zero zero zero zero zero cruel)
You're a million ways to be cruel
(One zero zero zero zero zero zero cruel)
You're a million ways to be cruel

Oh darlin'
Oh darlin'
You're a million ways
Oh darlin'
Oh darlin'
You're a million ways

Oh darlin'
Oh darlin'
You're a million ways to be
Oh oh oh oh oh

(One zero zero zero zero zero zero cruel)
You're a million ways to be cruel
You're a million ways to be cruel
(One zero zero zero zero zero zero cruel)
You're a million ways to be cruel
You're a million ways to be cruel
(One zero zero zero zero zero zero cruel)
You're a million ways to be cruel
(One zero zero zero zero zero zero cruel)
You're a million ways to be cruel
(One zero zero zero zero zero zero cruel)

Oh darlin' you're a million ways to be cruel.

You're not the prettiest girl in town
I'm not the only boy with sullied clothes and a sullen frown, so
To hell with Valentine's, to hell with perfume
To hell with chocolates and picnics, and Sinatra tunes
'Cause while the rest of the girls are drowning in roses and songs he composes
And while the rest of the guys are all trying, all trying so hard

Oh girl, let's crash the party
El Dorado on the lawn (hey, hey, hey)
Let's burn holes in the carpets
Kicking, shouting, dancing on the tables, all night long

I'm not so good with subtlety
You wouldn't say that I'm the picture of urbanity
Never put much stock in suavity, courtesy, chivalry, gallantry, all that useless jewelry
But while the rest of the girls still sigh for the night, he was smiling politely
And while the rest of the guys are all trying, all trying so hard

Oh girl, let's crash the party
El Dorado on the lawn (hey, hey, hey)
Let's burn holes in the carpets
Kicking, shouting, dancing on the tables, all night long
Oh girl, let's crash the party
El Dorado on the lawn (hey, hey, hey)
Let's burn holes in the carpets
Kicking, shouting, dancing on the tables all night long
(Oh girl, let's crash the party)
All night
(Let's burn holes in the carpet)
All night long

Look at the hottie in the tight jeans
Look at the pipe dreams
Look at the fat man burst at the seams
Look at the captain with the galaxy, right off his balcony
Look at the science and the alchemy
Look at the sirens on the cop cars
Look at the pop stars
Look at the convicts filing the bars
Look at the wife
Look at the knife
Look at the pom-pom prom queen scream and scream and run for her life

It's always right, the perfect light in the dark of night
Give up the world, give up your life, 'cause you cannot fight the television
Television, television
Television!

Look at them trying to get the flag higher
Look at the quagmire
Look at the tread separate from the tire
Look at the junky trying to get a gram
Look at the betting man
Look at him folding on a better hand

It's always right, the fearless light in the dark of night
Give up the world, give up your life cause you cannot fight the television
Television, television
Television!

Look at me hypnotized and half alive, maybe it's four or five
Some parts are sleeping, some parts are paralyzed
Just one more minute, just one more minute, I think I'm almost in it
Television, television
Television, television

Give me tits and politicians (Television, television)
Give me death and demolition (Television, television)
Give me glamour and sedition (Television, television)
Television!

Having spent your entire life exactly where you are tonight in the valley between intent and deed, you
must have mastered this, the fragile art of a good excuse, the little things that get you to believe.
That get you to believe.
So listen, I'm not trying to prove anything at all here, but don't you think that maybe, this time, you were wrong?
You've spent your entire life quick-tongued and always right.
Hasn't being right just let you down?


Right just lets you down.
So listen, I'm not trying to say anything at all here.
There isn't much left, anyway, that hasn't been said.
But don't you think that possibly, this time, it's different?
Don't you think that maybe, this time, you were wrong?
