Rumormill 04:10
Sweetheart, when will you ever learn? You’ve got to turn back, before those bridges burn down Cause I hear you get around Always in the bright lights, Standing in the front row So out of focus, You can’t hold that camera still…I know that you won’t make it home alone Be careful where you sleep now that you’re on the pill This city’s not your friend she’s just a rumor mill I guess she always was Did you ever really take the time, to think it through? You can be a real sweetheart, when you want to…I know I’ve seen that side of you Be careful where you let you deepest secrets go This city she will turn on you and slit your throat You’ve come such a long way…. You got a long way to go You’ve come such a long way You got a lot of room to grow You’ve come such a long way You’ve got a long way to go
2.
I can’t fall asleep again Cause you’re as loud as thunder When you’re racing through my head I just can’t go under So go ahead and make your move Cause I’ve been waiting on the line Yeah you know you want to And baby it’s about time We may be getting old But we’re still so alive I’m not looking for an easy ride I’m not jumping through your fiery hoops But if you’re burning up inside Then I’ll be in the waiting room Cause man it’s hot as hell in here The pillow case is soaking wet You whispered something in my ear That I could never forget You Said… We may be getting old But we’re still so alive We’re getting younger every summer We’re getting younger every summer We’re getting younger every summer We’re getting younger every summer

All I did was ask for a favor You shot the whole thing down Yeah you pulled the rug right out from under me Even Jesus Christ couldn’t save you You’re digging your own grave Now you have to fall asleep on fire in this bed you made How could you be so blind? How could you cross that line? Man you’ve got a funny way of bringing out my bad side All you did was ask for my neighbor- Hood just to spit you out Yeah you got to scream and shout with the dogs on the choking chain How could you be so blind? How could you live that lie? Where would you run and hide? (You’re running out of places on your list to hide) After you crossed that line? Man you got a funny way Yeah you’ve got a funny way Man you’ve got a funny way of bringing out my bad side How could you be so blind?

Long drags on cigarettes Brush strokes on drum sets Guitar chords through speaker wire As we start this fire Wooden stage and money drawers Spotlights on dirty floors Five dollars at the door And we start this fire Wait for me, as I figure out this melody Wait for me as I lead this choir Come with me, and I’ll show you all this melody Follow me and help me start this fire Steel belts on interstates Born in 1988 Give it everything it takes And we start this fire We’ll all be left to blame When this whole town goes up in flames Everybody will remember our names As we start this fire Wait for me, as I figure out this melody Wait for me as I lead this choir Come with me, and I’ll show you all the way to sing Follow me and help me spread this fire Turn off the drum track Ring out the feedback Knock down the speaker stacks And we start this fire

Ambulance 04:23
Loud thunder to a lightning flash Like alcohol to a shot glass Like an Ambulance to a car crash You need me now, you need me now Every dry spell needs the rainfall Like a big splash from a cannonball A nicotine fix for a withdrawal You need me now, and I need you now Like a prom queen’s innocence A drop of blood from your head in an accident Every shadow when the sun sets Don’t leave me now, don’t leave me now We could…. Make it all work out Or we could run it all into the ground Or we could turn it all around Cause I need you now I need you now I need you now I need you now I need you now

We were the only band That made the people stand And when they raised their hands That’s when we knew We took them by surprise Put crazy in their eyes And when they all went wild That’s when we knew We are going to be loaded We are going to explode Don’t even tell me that I’m not right Don’t you even try Every word was sung They came from painted tongues And at the top of our lungs That’s when we knew We are going to be loaded We are going to explode We are going to be big stars We will never get old Don’t even tell me that I’m not right Don’t you even try Back in the band Yeah I’m back in the band

Sing Along 03:10
I’ll take my mighty pen And write down all the words That come into my head Let them all fall off my tongue Into a silver screen And through electric cords Until your ears are bleeding And all the horns have blown Who knows where this is going Who knows how high we’ll climb I could go on forever But I’m just wasting time I’ve got a good idea I’ve got a brand new song And if we sing it loudly Then you will sing Along (La dee da dee da) With a hook I cast my line Sink it into all your minds You never will erase me Until the day you die With your voices ringing You all will always sing this melody you sing to me (La dee da dee da)

In the Park 03:11
well i could take a shot 'cause i'm wide open now could somebody remind me please what this game's about back into the windowed world running parallel to the one where lovers love while i burn in hell i asked for no one to resuscitate i was ready to find the places we go... i started out today with "remember when...?" but now i've gotta find a home and a new best friend when she's the only station playing on my broken radio yeah they're playing all her records out everywhere that i go i asked for no one to resuscitate i was ready to find the places we go to evaporate i was ready, oh well, whatever you know but i won't be home for supper 'cause i'm dying every night in the park i just wanna talk for hours just trying to remake a remark but nobody believes me still i swear i'd take one straight to the face and if she won't ever see me what's the use in even taking up space

Short Fuse (free) 03:55
I’m not a man, I’m a rubber band Wound up tight around your hands If you keep on stretching me and pulling me apart I think I’m gonna snap I’m not a man, I’m the Hoover Damn Holding back the water the best I can But if you keep on rushing me and building up pressure I think I’m gonna crack I’ve got a short fuse I’ve got a weak heart I’m in a weird mood I think I’m falling apart I am breakable, not made of steel It takes a long time for me to heal And in a little while when we collide You’re gonna deal with my crazy side I’m not a man, I’m a rain cloud Any minute could come pouring down So take it easy on me and you might just see I’m not out of my mind I’ve got a short fuse I’ve got a weak heart I’m in a weird mood I think I’m falling apart

Katherine 03:16
Oh, Katherine I didn’t mean to rip down your ceiling You must have thought I was losing it Oh, Virginia I didn’t realize that you had it in you And now you live with an Irish man I left you standing at the Berlin Wall Came crashing down and I watched it all And then we both surrendered Oh, Meredith Not that it makes any difference But I apologize Oh, Jolene You walked away with everything You never said you were sorry You always did what you wanted to do I kept my fingers crossed for you You go your way and I’ll go mine Maybe we’ll stay apart this time As long as we both remember I’m always looking for another friend I know you’re never coming back again I knew that this was how it all would end

Don't Lie 04:34
I was your early in the morning Stay up with you all night I was the only star shining down from a dark sky Standing on the corner of the street where we met I watched your face light up as you Fired up a cigarette You still love me (Don’t Lie) You can throw a cold shoulder Drag my name across the killing floor You can turn out all the lights Lock the windows and the front door I don’t mind No I…don’t mind Cause you still love me (Don’t Lie) You still love me (Don’t lie) Don’t lie……
