Different kind of dangerous
Well nothing is free and all I see is perilous
But in the right mind you can leave it behind
Things are looking up
Well I'm hoping for a diamond in the night
feeling kina rough
But you smile at me, that's all I see
You're glamorous, one time
Well all the lost souls are looking to croon,
What is left of us,
And I'm gonna ride my mind with a couple of friends
Cause I'm on the bus,
Well I tell myself this whole affair is scandalous
And later on tonight blowing out my voice singing just for us
What makes you good enough for any time you took
All alone inside your head is dangerous
It's raining in my paradise and I can't find the hook
All alone inside your head is where I'll look, where I'll look
Well the writing's on the wall, in a couple of songs we'll pack it up
Then you can tell me things that I'll never believe, you're ridiculous
I'm just glad no one I know is murderous
Only killing time with a bottle of wine sounds good to us,
What makes you cry aloud or laugh away your blues,
All I know we got nothing to lose
It's raining in my paradise and I can't sober up
Fell inside your heart and found the love, what love
I don't really have much time for this,
Always the first one is the best one,
I don't really have much time for this,
I don't really have much time,
I would give it all up for a kiss
Always the first one is the best one
This is the last one that we'll have tonight

The Other Night
I gotta tell you about the other night
I gotta tell ya, not until I find my respirator
Then we'll leave on the fly
I find it hard to make up my mind
And I never seen that look in your eyes
And if you leave me alone then I'm turning a signal
When I learn how to drive,
And if we're really all about it
We can fly right out of our minds
She woke me up in the dawn of the night
And then we drove until well out of sight
The California smoke was bitter and romantic
Had to turn on a dime
And we got 25 miles to go,
No need to tell me that there's nobody home
And if we're arriving now or fashionably later
Then we're where we belong
And if we're really all about it
you can peel me off of the lawn
There's no need to say your sorry
when you haven't done anything wrong
She can hold her liquor and the stars are already home
I knew I'd have to tell you
But she wants me all to her own
Gotta tell you about the other night
When I remember the other night
And if we're really all about it
You can scrape me off of the wall
There's no need to say you're sorry
when you haven't done anything wrong

You're Gonna Miss

You're gonna miss
Five minutes is all that's left
Till you're all thrown out, then you get around
I'm using my last breath
Till the wheels fall off
Then record the sound
I'll bet I'm almost there
This is my last dance then I wonder why
That I'll never get the chance
For you and me to be kissing in the summertime
I mean it's nothing less
Then we're all making moves, just to get around
I'll take mine with a twist
Cause I'm sipping manhattans
In a southern town
Oh god I'm almost there
If you stop now then I'm leaving, bye
Gotta hang on to what's left of my mind
Anything you're gonna miss
If you're think you're gonna miss
Get it on
Now's the time to do the perfect crime
I'm following my bliss
Till it's all sewn up, every single line,
Oh god I'm almost there if a pin could drop
Then you'd turn aorund
You gotta get lost before you're found
Anything you're gonna miss
If you're think you're gonna miss
Get it on
Tell me how I'm supposed to begin
In the wine or I'm into the gin
But I can't afford to get arrested anymore
Anything you're gonna miss
If you're think you're gonna miss
Get it on

We Could Use The Rain

We Could Use the Rain
Ever tell someone that they're beautiful,
I would not complain,
Hide in the lights that shine on you,
As long as they remain,
Out of your mind on an august moon,
Howling out your name,
Ever tell someone that they're beautiful,
When you don't feel the same,
It's all been going so wrong till you turn it around,
Now you're looking in a window into what you were never about,
Now you're alone in the afterglow,
And then you seem to materialize,
But the weight of the water is why I've been waiting to cry,
I would tell summer that she's beautiful,
If I didn't know her name,
Fall in the nights that fall for you,
They never are the same,
Out of your mind on an autumn moon,
I could not complain,
I would tell summer that she's beautiful,
But we could use the rain,
It's really alright to go wrong till a lover is found,
Now you're looking in a window into what she was always about
Now we're alone in the afterglow,
And then you seem to materialize,
But you're in muddy water too long when the bottle is dry,
It's really alright to go wrong till your lover is found,
We're growing into California and there's gold all over the ground,
Now all I know is the afterglow,
But I can tell ya that I'm missing her eyes,
But you're in muddy water too long when the bottle's dry,
We could use the rain.

Heaven...But Not Tonight

Heaven... but not tonight
You're looking like the hell tonight,
You're turning like a driving wheel,
Your eyes are on the road alright,
You're telling me just how to feel,
I wish it was another night, so I could turn the driving wheel,
And we'd be getting home alright, hoping someone left a light on,
It could've been another life,
There's no one at the driving wheel,
It's heaven but it's not tonight,
You're burning like a lying deal,
You're gonna take me home alright and tell me love is nothing real,
We'll drink until the morning light and fall into the afterglow,
And you know what I'm saying that we'll all stick together somehow,
And you know what they're saying that they're all just a face in the crowd,
Sailing out on a long, hungover day,
Sailing out all alone, you're on your way,
We're never going home alright,
We're learning what the fuck is real,
The deck is stacking high on the line,
and no one's brokering the deal,
We're living in a paradigm,
That could fall apart,
All in for a hell of a night and heaven's not a part of the deal,
And you know what I'm saying that we'll all stick together somehow,
And you know what they're saying they're all just a face in the crowd,
Sailing out on a long, hungover day,
Sailing out all alone, you're on your way,
Love is like a letter, gone.
No one's going home alright,
We're turning like a driving wheel,
It's heaven but it's not tonight,
Someone must've left a light on.

Over The Hills

Over the Hills
Waking up in a time machine,
Nothing is how nothing seems,
For a while I could not believe,
You'd disappear.
No one's around when I fell apart,
I was running from the start,
Never knew right after dark,
You would slow down
Over the Hills
Already gone are the days that we knew
Over The Hills
Light in your eye said it's time we flew
Doubling down in another life,
It's all working out this time,
All I saw was a pair of eyes
Laughing out loud,
Who would've thought you'd come all this way,
Just to kiss it all goodbye,
For a while she had wanted to say,
That she had to fly,
Over the hills,
Already gone are the days we knew,
Over the hills,
The light in your eye said it's time we flew,
Over the hills,
Drove all night just to sing for you,
Over the hills,
But not far away.
Everybody's talking bout annihilation
Better live it up before Annihilation
Better live it up
There's no dancing in the streets,
Without a body to love,
You got to burn it all clean,
You put some honey in the mud,
There's no taking out the trash,
When you haven't got a home,
And there's no crime in the streets now,
When no one's dancing all alone,
Gotta live it up
Now I'm crying like a son
No one's crying like a son
Over the hills
Already gone are the days we knew,
Over the hills
But not far away.

No One Cried
Those diamonds in our eyes they could turn on you,
And all of the tricks hidden up a sleeve know a thing or two,
Now you're out on your own drying city tears in the avenues,
Train's broken down but a heart of gold's staring right at you,
Into the drink, buying record time for another round,
Best look sharp when the bottle's loose, you could own the town,
Into the streets, following the night, getting turned around,
Left all alone in a leather booth with the queen of the underground,
If the world's gone tomorrow, then we're doing it right,
It's the last night promise and he's losing his mind,
No one cried,
If the world's gone tomorrow then we're doing it right,
It's the last night promise and it's all on the line,
Better tell your lover to keep pouring the wine,
When the lights go out it's been a hell of a, hell of a time.

Not Following You

Not Following You
Take me to the letter, Operator,
And I'm still not following you,
Almost to the letter, Operator,
And I'm still not following you,
Don't wanna know what you're really up to,
Maybe I knew all along and it's not new news,
Take me to the letter, Operator,
And I'm still not following you,
Someone's feeling better, Operator,
And I'm still not following you,
Take me to your heart,
So I can sew the fucker up,
They say that you should get a job,
And now you're pissing in a cup,
They say time is moving on,
As soon as you are moving out,
And now that we don't get along, nothing to cry about,
All's fair in love and crime,
Stealing alone or in a duet
you'll be fine on your own,
Any kind of weather, Operator,
And I'm still not following you,
Now I'm feeling better, hour later,
But I'll never go down on you,
Till I'm in your heart,
I wish I never had a job,
But I'd be only pissing drunk,
They say time is moving on,
So I guess I'll move out,
We never really got along, nothing to cry about,
Always is a pleasure, Operator,
But I'm still not following you,
Almost to the letter, Operator,
But I'm still not following you!
