bring the receipts for the books that you bought
i cant have you thinking outside of the box
you know its dangerous to me
and we'll both pretend like we're not being watched
like the night before last will always be blocked from the feed
cause its dangerous to me
no more sweet memory of a life thats been lost
no more cause and effect just the face of a clock
so you keep getting high
and your doors are unlocked
but nobody's coming to take what you got
whats it matter if you throw away the key
so lets make like we're free
like we haven't been dropped
like our lives weren't a mistake from the moment we stopped listening
and started to sing

i waited a life for you
and now i don't
i don't care what you do
oh you can beat me
you can cheat me
you've done everything but complete me
so i sing oh
i left on my lights for you
and now i don't
i don't know what that proves
baby you keep me
then you leave me
you've done all of this indiscreetly
so i sing oh
my time is down to the wire
we're through
and now i don't know
and i don't care what you do
baby you beat me then you cheat me
you've done everything but defeat me
so i sing oh

oh cause i, i've been lyin
late night cryin over you
we can have it all

i been sitting in a blue room
just a circlin you
and i just can't forget
another life you could have lived
another wounded hypocrite on the fence
how can i make it right?
if you won't let me try
you're gonna make me cry
baby i'm barely alive
you been walkin on a blue moon
said you're breakin all the rules
me i'm underneath the same moon
so am i getting through to you
and i just can't forgive
another life you could have lived
another wounded silhouette on the fence
how can you make it right?
if you won't even me try
you're gonna make me cry
baby you're barely alive

cigarette in his hands
watch him makin demands
of the first girl he sees at the bar
and when she doesn't come
watch him do it again and again
til he's forcin his hands
on a drunk group of girls
who just wanted to dance
who just wanted a night with their friends
but if he gets his way
one will be at his place
just tonight then he'll show her the door
and its hard to see the way it goes
all the sad eyed fools take off their clothes
for the freaks and creeps
for the creatures from beneath
all the freaks and creeps
all the monsters from the deep
hula hoop in her hand
on a table she danced
while the band tried to put on a show
a few boys gather round
offer to take her out
buy her drinks
say they'll show her the ropes
with a quick little bounce
she is back on the ground
and she's leavin em all in the cold
and its too bad to see the way it goes
all the sad eyed boys wait by the phone
for the freaks and creeps
for the creatures from beneath
all the freaks and creeps
all the monsters from the deep
are we freaks and creeps?
are we creature from beneath?

i want to leave a better world then i've seen
i want to be happy carefree
but in between the darkness and the daylight
i'm underneath a cloud of acid rain
just when you think you finally gotten somewhere
a flood will come to wash it all away
there may not be a savior
not this evening
there may not be someone to light the way
though i could stay a little longer
don't think i'll find a meaning for today
but in between the darkness and the daylight
i'm on a wave carried out to sea
just when you think you finally gotten somewhere
the world revolves to keep you in your place

oh it looks like our world's finally come to an end
we don't talk anymore to our mutual friends
and there were so many times you said you want to die
oh but how could you say that
i was right by your side
and we can make like we're crazy
with the best of them
but i know you're lie
and i should take you to the depths of what you put me through
cause you're burning me out
and it's making me tired
and we'll know that someone we have to the end
we won't talk anymore
you'll just offer amends
but you should keep you're sticky fingers the hell off of my heart
or will you lay your hands on me?
keep on playing your part
