Introduction

...Ladies and gentlemen, we proudly present, a picturesque score of passing fantasy...

The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage

Sit tight I'm gonna need you to keep time
Come on just snap snap snap your fingers for me
Good good now we're making some progress
Come on just tap tap tap your toes to the beat
And I believe this may call for a proper introduction
And don't you see I'm the narrator and this is just the prologue

I swear to shake it up if you swear to listen
Oh we're still so young desperate for attention
I aim to be, your eyes
Trophy boys, trophy wives
I swear to shake it up if you swear to listen
Oh we're still so young desperate for attention
I aim to be, your eyes
Trophy boys, trophy wives

Applause applause no wait wait
Dear studio audience, I've an announcement to make
It seems the artists these days are not who you think
So we'll pick back up on that on another page
And I believe this may call for a proper introduction
And don't you see I'm the narrator and this is just the prologue

I swear to shake it up if you swear to listen
Oh we're still so young desperate for attention
I aim to be, your eyes
Trophy boys, trophy wives
I swear to shake it up if you swear to listen
Oh we're still so young, desperate for attention
I aim to be, your eyes
Trophy boys, trophy wives

Swear to shake it up, you swore to listen
Swear to shake it up, you swore to listen
Swear to shake it up, you swore to listen
Swear to shake it up, swear to shake it up

I swear to shake it up if you swear to listen
Oh we're still so young, desperate for attention
I aim to be, your eyes
Trophy boys, trophy wives
I swear to shake it up if you swear to listen
Oh we're still so young, desperate for attention
I aim to be... your eyes

London Beckoned Songs About Money Written By Machines

Stop stalling, make a name for yourself
Boy, you better put that pen to paper, charm your way out
If you talk, you better walk, you better back your shit up
With more than good hooks while you're all under the gun
Start talking "a sensationalist"
Oh he's slightly clever to just a certain extent
If you talk, you better walk, you better keep your mouth shut
With more than good hooks while you're all under the gun
Panic, meet the press
It's time for us to take a chance, it's time for us to take a chance
Panic, meet the press
It's time for us to take a chance, it's time for us...

Well we're just a wet dream for the webzines
Make us it, make us hip, make us scene
Or shrug us off your shoulders
Don't approve a single word that we wrote
Well we're just a wet dream for the webzines
Make us it, make us hip, make us scene
Or shrug us off your shoulders
Don't approve a single word that we wrote

I'm burning and I'm blacking my lungs
Boy, you know it feels good with fire back on your tongue
If you talk, you better walk, you better back your shit up
With more than good hooks while you're all under the gun
Start talking "a sensationalist"
Oh he's slightly clever to just a certain extent
Well keep quiet, let us sing like the doves
Then decide if it's done with purpose or lack thereof
Just for the record the weather today is slightly sarcastic with a good chance of:
A. Indifference or B. Disinterest in what the critics say
It's time for us to take a chance, it's time for us...

Just for the record the weather today is slightly sarcastic with a good chance of:
A. Indifference or B. Disinterest in what the critics say

Nails For Breakfast, Tacks For Snacks

Watch your mouth oh oh oh because your speech is slurred enough that you just might swallow your tongue
I'm sure you would want to give up the ghost with just a little more poise than that
Or was it God who chokes in these situations, running late oh no, he called in
Or was it God who chokes in these situations, running late oh no, he called in

The hospice is a relaxing weekend getaway where you're a cut above all the rest
Sick and sad patients on first name basis with all the top physicians
Prescribed pills to offset the shakes to offset the pills; you know you should take it a day at a time

That's when you st-st-stutter something profound to the support on the line
And with the way you've been talking every word gets you a step closer to hell
That's when you st-st-stutter something profound to the support on the line
And with the way you've been talking every word gets you a step closer to hell

Prescribed pills to offset the shakes to offset the pills; you know you should take it a day at a time
Prescribed pills to offset the shakes to offset the pills; you know you should take it a day at a time

I am alone in this bed house and head; she never fixes this but at least she
I am alone in this bedroom; she never fixes this but at least she...

The hospice is a relaxing weekend getaway where you're a cut above all the rest
Sick and sad patients on first name basis with all the top physicians

Camisado

The I. V. and your hospital bed
This was no accident
This was a therapeutic chain of events

This is the scent of dead skin on a linoleum floor
This is the scent of quarantine wings in a hospital
It's not so pleasant
And it's not so conventional
It sure as hell ain't normal
But we deal, we deal

The anesthetic never set in and I'm wondering where
The apathy and urgency is that I thought I phoned in
It's not so pleasant
And it's not so conventional
It sure as hell ain't normal
But we deal, we deal

Just sit back, just sit back
Just sit back and relax
Just sit back, just sit back
Just sit back and relapse
Again

Can't take the kid from the fight
Take the fight from the kid
Sit back, relax
Sit back, relapse again
Can't take the kid from the fight
Take the fight from the kid
Just sit back, just sit back

You're a regular decorated emergency
You're a regular decorated emergency

Can't take the kid from the fight
Take the fight from the kid
Sit back, relax
Sit back, relapse again
Can't take the kid from the fight
Take the fight from the kid

Just sit back, just sit back
Sit back, sit back, relax, relapse
Sit back, sit back, bababada
You can take the kid out of the fight

You're a regular decorated emergency
The bruises and contusions will remind me what you did when you wake
You've earned your place atop the ICU's hall of fame
The camera caught you causing a commotion on the gurney again

Can't take the kid from the fight
Take the fight from the kid
Sit back, relax
Sit back, relapse again
Can't take the kid from the fight
Take the fight from the kid
Just sit back, just sit back
Sit back, sit back, relax, relapse
Sit back, sit back, bababada
You can't take the kid out of the fight

The I. V. and your hospital bed
This was no accident
This was a therapeutic chain of events

Time To Dance

Well, she's not bleeding on the ballroom floor just for the attention
'Cause that's just ridiculous...ly odd
Well, she sure is going to get it
Here's the setting: fashion magazines line the walls now
The walls line the bullet holes

Have some composure
Where is your posture?
Oh no no
You're pulling the trigger
Pulling the trigger all wrong

Give me envy, give me malice, give me all your attention
Give me envy, give me malice, baby, give me a break!
When I say "shotgun", you say "wedding"
"Shotgun", "wedding", "shotgun", "wedding"

Well, she didn't choose this role
But she'll play it and make it sincere
So you cry, you cry (Give me a break)
But they believe it from the tears
And the teeth right down to the blood
At her feet
Boys will be boys
Hiding in estrogen and wearing aubergine dreams
(Give me a break...break...break...break)

Have some composure
Where is your posture?
Oh, no, no
You're pulling the trigger
Pulling the trigger
All wrong

Come on this is screaming "Photo op, op..."
Come on, come on
This is screaming
This is screaming
This is screaming "Photo op"

Boys will be boys, baby
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys, baby
Boys will be boys

Give me envy, give me malice, give me all your attention
Give me envy, give me malice, baby, give me a break!
When I say "shotgun", you say "wedding"
"Shotgun", "wedding", "shotgun", "wedding"

Boys will be boys
Hiding in estrogen and boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Hiding in estrogen and wearing aubergine dreams

Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off

Is it still me that makes you sweat, am I who you think about in bed?
When the lights are dim, and your hands are shaking as you're sliding off your dress?
Then think of what you did and how I hope to God he was worth it
When the lights are dim and your heart is racing as your fingers touch your skin
I've got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better fuck than any boy you'll ever meet, sweetie you had me
Girl, I was it, look past the sweat, a better love deserving of exchanging body heat in the passenger seat
No no no, you know it will always just be me
Let's get these teen hearts beating faster, faster

So testosterone boys and harlequin girls, will you dance to this beat and hold a lover close?
So testosterone boys and harlequin girls, will you dance to this beat and hold a lover close?

So I guess we're back to us, oh cameraman swing the focus
In case I lost my train of thought, where was it that we last left off? (Let's pick up, pick up)
Oh now I do recall, we were just getting to the part
Where the shock sets in, and the stomach acid finds a new way to make you get sick
I hope you didn't expect to get all of the attention
Let's not get selfish, did you really think I'd let you kill this chorus?
Let's get these teen hearts beating faster, faster

So testosterone boys and harlequin girls, will you dance to this beat and hold a lover close?
So testosterone boys and harlequin girls, will you dance to this beat and hold a lover close?

Dance to this beat, dance to this beat, dance to this beat
Let's get these teen hearts beating faster, faster
Let's get these teen hearts beating faster
I've got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better fuck
Than any boy you'll ever meet, sweetie you had me
Girl, I was it, look past the sweat, a better love deserving of exchanging body heat in the passenger seat
No no no, you know it will always just be me
Let's get these teen hearts beating faster, faster

So testosterone boys and harlequin girls, will you dance to this beat and hold a lover close?
So testosterone boys and harlequin girls, will you dance to this beat and hold a lover close?
So testosterone boys and harlequin girls (Dance to this beat)
So testosterone boys and harlequin girls (Dance to this beat... and hold a lover close)
Let's get these teen hearts beating faster, faster
Let's get these teen hearts beating faster

Intermission

(Instrumental)
''...Ladies and gentlemen, due to circumstances beyond our control, we are unable to continue our broadcast of dance music. We shall continue now with our piano interlude.''

But It's Better If You Do

Now I'm of consenting age to be forgetting you in a cabaret
Somewhere downtown where a burlesque queen may even ask my name
As she sheds her skin on stage, I'm seated and sweating to a dance song on the club's P.A.
The strip joint veteran sits two away, smirking between dignified sips of his dignified peach and lime daiquiri

Isn't this exactly where you'd like me, I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love in a lap dance, and paying in naivety
Oh, isn't this exactly where you'd like me, I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love in a lap dance, and paying in naivety
Oh, but I'm afraid that I, well I may have faked it, and I wouldn't be caught dead, d-dead, d-dead, d-dead in this place
Well I'm afraid that I, well that's right, well I may have faked it, and I wouldn't be caught dead in this place

Isn't this exactly where you'd like me, I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love in a lap dance, and paying in naivety
Oh, isn't this exactly where you'd like me, I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love in a lap dance, and paying in naivety
Well, I'm afraid that I well, I may have faked it, and I wouldn't be caught dead, d-dead, d-dead, d-dead in this place
Well, I'm afraid that I, well that's right, well I may have faked it, and I wouldn't be caught dead in this place

Praying for love and paying in naivety
Praying for love and paying in naivety, oh

I Write Sins Not Tragedies

Oh, well imagine
As I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor
And I can't help but to hear
No, I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words

What a beautiful wedding
What a beautiful wedding, says a bridesmaid to a waiter
Oh yes, but what a shame
What a shame the poor groom's bride is a whore

I chime in with a "haven't you people ever heard of
Closing the goddamn door?"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality

I chime in, "haven't you people ever heard of
Closing the goddamn door?"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of

Oh, well in fact,
Well, I'll look at it this way,
I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne

Oh, well in fact
Well, I'll look at it this way
I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast so pour the champagne, pour the champagne

I chime in with a "haven't you people ever heard of
Closing the goddamn door?"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality

I chime in, "haven't you people ever heard of
Closing the goddamn door?"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality
Again

I chime in, "haven't you people ever heard of
Closing the goddamn door?"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality

I chime in, "haven't you people ever heard of
Closing the goddamn door?"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality
Again

I Constantly Thank God For Esteban

Give us this day our daily dose of faux affliction
Forgive our sins
Forged at the pulpit with forked tongues selling faux sermons
Because I am a new wave gospel sharp, and you'll be thy witness
So gentlemen, if you're gonna preach
Then for God sakes preach with conviction!

Strike up the band!
Whoa! The conductor is beckoning
Come congregation, and let's sing it like you mean it
No, don't you get it don't you get it? Now don't you move

Strike up the band!
Whoa! The conductor is beckoning
Come congregation, and let's sing it like you mean it
No, don't you get it don't you get it? Now don't you...move

Just stay where I can see you
Douse the lights!
We sure are in for a show tonight

In this little number, we are graced by two displays of character
We've got: the gunslinger extraordinaire, a walking contradiction
And I for one can see no blood
From the hearts and the wrists you allegedly slit
And I for one wont stand for this
If the scene were a parish, you'd all be condemned

Strike up the band!
Whoa! The conductor is beckoning
Come congregation, and let's sing it like you mean it
No, don't you get it don't you get it? Now don't you move

Strike up the band!
Whoa! The conductor is beckoning
Come congregation, and let's sing it like you mean it
No, don't you get it don't you get it? Now don't, don't you...move

Just stay where I can see you
Douse the lights!
We sure are in for a show tonight

Just stay where I can see you
Douse the lights!
La da ta ta, la da ta ta, la da ta ta....

Strike up the band!
Whoa! The conductor is beckoning
Come congregation, and let's sing it like you mean it
No, don't you get it don't you get it? Now don't you move

Strike up the band!
Whoa! The conductor is beckoning
Come congregation, and let's sing it like you mean it
No, don't you get it don't you get it? Now don't you...move

Don't you move
Don't you move!
Strike up the band!

There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought Of It Yet

Please leave all overcoats canes and top hats with the doorman,
From that moment you’ll be out of place and underdressed.
I’m wrecking this evening already and loving every minute of it,
Ruining this banquet for the mildly inspiring and.

Please leave all overcoats, canes and top hats with the doorman
and from that moment you’ll be out of place and underdressed.
I’m wrecking this evening already and loving every minute of it
Ruining this banquet for the mildly inspiring and
When you’re in black slacks with accentuating off-white pinstripes,
Everything goes according to plan.

I’m the new cancer never looked better you can't stand it.
Cause you say so under your breath,
You're reading lips, when did he get at all confident.
Haven't you heard that I’m the new cancer,
Never looked better and you can’t stand it.

Next is a trip to the ladies room in vain and
I bet you just can’t keep up with these fashionistas.
Tonight tonight you are a whispering campaign.
I bet them your name is cheap, I bet them you look like shh.
Talk to the mirror oh choke back tears and
keep telling yourself I’m a diva.
And the smokes in that cigarette box on the table,
they just happen to be laced with nitroglycerin

I’m the new cancer never looked better you can't stand it.
Cause you say so under your breath,
You’re reading lips when did he get at all confident.
Haven't you heard that I’m the new cancer,
never looked better and you can’t stand it.

Haven't you heard that I’m the new cancer,
I’ve never looked better and you can’t stand it.

And I know, and I know, it just doesn't feel like a night out with no one sizing you up.
I've never been so surreptitious, so of course you'll be distracted when I spike the punch.

Build God, Then We'll Talk

It's these substandard motels on the (lalalalala) corner of 4th and Fremont Street
Appealing only because they are just that un-appealing
Any practiced catholic would cross themselves upon entering
The rooms have a hint of asbestos and maybe just a dash of formaldehyde
And the habit of decomposing right before your very (lalalalala) eyes

Along with the people inside
What a wonderful caricature of intimacy
Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy

Tonight tenants range from: a lawyer and a virgin
Accessorizing with a rosary tucked inside her lingerie
She's getting a job at the firm come Monday
The Mrs. will stay with the cheating attorney
Moonlighting aside, she really needs his money
Oh, wonderful caricature of intimacy

Yeah (Yeah)

And not to mention, the constable, and his proposition, for that "virgin"
Yes, the one the lawyer met with on "strictly business"
As he said to the Mrs.
Well, only hours before
After he had left, she was fixing her face in a compact
There was a terrible crash (There was a terrible crash)
Between her and the badge
She spilled her purse and her bag
And held a "purse" of a different kind

Along with the people inside
What a wonderful caricature of intimacy
Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy

There are no raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
And a few more of your least favorite things

Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
And a few more of your least favorite things

Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy
Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy

Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
And a few more of your least favorite things

Raindrops on roses and the girls in white dresses
And the sleeping with the roaches and the taking best guesses
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
And a few more of your least favorite things
