Mack sat down for a cup of coffee
Read the times in Star Spangled City
Shuffled his feet till waitress Barb came back
Mack reclined back she poured his coffee black

No one was prepared
For what came next
Cause that was the moment

That Mack just snapped
Pulled out a big black gun
Took every cent they had
And he was on the run
Bolt out those double doors
Now run

Hit the gas like wildfire
Don’t look back just let the flames creep higher
For the first time in Mack’s life he’s a wanted man
If you’ve got nothing to live for you’ll take what you can

Mack just snapped
Pulled out a big black gun
Took every cent they had
And he was on the run

Every door creeps open
To a world that's soaked in ice.
Before you torch the world
Could you spare me a light?
It's a deep deep ocean
Where the shallow fish swim.
No one breathes we just tread to swim.
Til we all drown in the end.
We all drown in the end.

The sidewalk's slick and quietly
The moon she hangs herself
While staring at a far away star.
Dreams, yeah they're just dreams
They're beautiful paintings,
But alone they won't go very far.

It's a deep deep ocean
Where the shallow fish swim.
No one breathes we just tread to swim.
Til we all drown in the end.
We all drown in the end.

Didn't we just answer that question?
That's right I think that's right.
Before you torch the world
Could you spare me a light?

Every door creeps open

I'm tired of trying
I've been stuck for too long
On the corner of Uncool and Care avenue.
I'm tired of trying
And I'm not gonna lie
Those kind of dreams are better suited for some other guy.

We all get drunk, we do drugs and sing songs.
All we've got in common is how we're all alone.
We all get drunk, we do drugs and sing songs.
All we've got in common is how we're all alone.
I've got this friend who hits the bottle solo.
He looks up at the world and he shouts.
I'm worried about him
And he's worried about me
Sometimes I think my life's inside out.

We all get drunk, we do drugs and sing songs.
All we've got in common is how we're all alone.
We all get drunk, we do drugs and sing songs.
All we've got in common is how we're not alone.

I like those songs that make you feel special.
Yeah they really hit you at your core.
I gotta figure out where they're stored.
Then I'm going to listen to a few more.

We all get drunk, we do drugs and sing songs.
All we've got in common is how we're not alone

Every kid you know they're all the same
They're all searching for the party
All searching for their next drink, next hit
All these clever people they're rowdy
And no one wants to go home alone
There's no comfort in empty linens
And lips lie all the time, even to each other
Party people call that living

Every kid you know, they're all the same
They're all falling to the party
They all get wrecked and the wander around
Yeah all these clever people they're rowdy
And no one wants to go home alone
Searching for soft bodies breaks the silence
Cause the night's stony stiff, and the lights go adrift. Party people live life violent.

It's a circus in the city
A streetlight burnt out and beautiful
Half lit in the night
Where's lips they pursue people
And people come together
Even if you're not alone, doesn't mean it’s right

Join in the circus with the clowns of the night
They live life violent under burnt out lights
Join in the circus with the clowns of the night
They live life violent doesn't mean right

Every kid you know, they're all the same
They're all falling from the party
They all get drunk and they stumble on down
As the streetlights slur they're so rowdy
The party people pretend not to notice
As its dangerous the crowd gets silent
Cause to notice is to know, to know it's all a show
Yeah party people live life violent

It's a circus in the city
A streetlight burnt out and beautiful
Half lit in the night
Where's lips they pursue people
And people come together
Even if you're not alone, doesn't mean it’s right

I awoke with a noise
Stop, stare, light’s out
No sound not a noise
Skull full of blind doubt
Slapped my jeans to the sound
Of two-step Timmy’s traveling blues
When he slips he just starts swimming

Less is more than more is less
But the contradictory truths are often best
Left categorized by surprise at the time bomb’s explosion
Comprised of the tears and the scars
And the fears and the bars
And the boys and the girls
Well they’re all fools for love
Although often misled and quietly contrived
Of course the distance between faces
Is shortened by far
If there’s an attraction
Magnetic, or otherwise

She cuts with her eyes
Black dust and white lies
You could call it love
Yeah but it ain't right
She'll take you hostage
She could terrorize

Does she really love you?
Because you're tired of trying
And you can't stop feeling
Like she's always lying

Dark curls and a darker smile
She's sensuous in an addictive style
You could call it love
Yeah but it ain't right
She'll take you hostage
She could terrorize

Does she really love you?
Because you're tired of trying
And you can't stop feeling
Like she's always lying

You better start running
You better start running
You better start running
You better start running

She cuts with her eyes
Black dust and white lies
You could call it love
Yeah but it ain't right
She'll take you hostage
She could terrorize

Marilyn wore a little black dress
And she looked divine
She filled the room with laughter
And herself with white wine
She was recklessly beautiful
With a spark in her eye
She was everyone’s girl
But she was never mine

I told Marilyn that I loved her
First she laughed and then she cried
Over and over Marilyn asked me
As the tears rolled down her eyes
She said how do you keep love alive
How do you keep love alive?

I told Marilyn that I loved her
First she laughed and then she cried
Over and over Marilyn asked me
As the tears rolled down her eyes
She said how do you keep love alive
How do you keep love alive?

The dog’s bark lies and it’s alright
Wait by the phone in the dark, in the night
I call it love, it feels right
The dog’s bark is worse than its bite

So say you
You’re off to sea
Your dream’s off in the distance
And your telescope is me
So just open your eyes
And don’t be lonely

All the seasons have abandoned me
Left me stuck in the fall
Where the trees lose their leaves
Missing the whispers of the cool, cool breeze

So say you
You’re lost at sea
With the stars as your map
Well then the north star is me
Just look up when it’s dark
And don’t be lonely

Wrestling winds are calling
Howling to be free
You’re catching glimpses
Of what life could be
You will be you
And I will be me

You’re taking on water
Sinking slowly
You will be you
I can only be me

When you hit rock bottom
So much for apathy
So say you
You’re lost at sea
Hit rock bottom
Hit rock bottom
Rock bottom
Hit rock bottom
Rock bottom
Hit rock bottom

So say you
You washed up from the sea
Rescued from the storm
Alive and free
So just hold on tight
And don’t be lonely
So Say You
So Say You
So Say You
So Say You
So Say You
