Rock and Roll 04:02
lyrics

What do you love? Is it beside you or above? Can you hold it in your hands? Is it what you dream of? I sold my soul for rock and roll. I try to be good, but I'm bad, I'm always bad. I try to be good, but there's this noise in my head Telling me I must turn this on, and I must plug this in, and I am not doing this because I want to (No no no) I am not doing this for you I'm not doing this for the money (Ha ha ha ha) Everything I've ever done, I've done it for her. The Devil Queen on a Death Machine. I love rock and roll.

Wake up Get dressed Make your face Make it your best Do your hair Do it right Such a waste It's going white. All the girls go "Uh" Chin up Smile wide Shiny teeth Crazy eyes High heels Steel toes This thing is sacred This ritual. All the girls go "Uh" It must take a lot out of you to be so beautiful. It must take a lot of money. This world is so strange and wonderful! This world is all yours, honey. So no tears Tonight Waitress Of my life I'm waiting I'll play nice I am yours You are mine. All the girls go "Uh"

The Show 02:46
lyrics

She puts an apple in the refrigerator She says, "See you later alligator." On the day I meet my eliminator I will flashback to this. We will never go to bed and we will never get old. We will always be pretty. We will always be skinny. We're gonna be rich and we're gonna be famous. We're gonna be celebrities in a bullet-proof car. So drive, Sugar, drive. I wanna go somewhere I feel alive. This isn't it. I gotta go. Take me to a 22nd century fashion show. It's just like an orgy All Grimm and Gorey Every one of them children Every one of them villains Wearing suits made of fire Saints kissing liars Wining vampires and dining the choir So drive, Sugar, drive. I wanna go somewhere I feel alive. This isn't it. I gotta go. Take me to a 22nd century fashion show. I want to see the pretty girls I want to see the show I want to know what the world is like I want to see the show I want to kiss those pretty girls I want to see the show I want to touch the spotlight I want to see the show I have to, this is the night I have to see the show I have to, I don't feel right I have to see the show I have to, or I'll ruin my life I have to see the show I'll make it or I'll die, so drive. I have to see the show.

Changeling 03:27
lyrics
buy track
I am testing my weaknesses. I am going out. I am threadbare. In the streets, I have blood in my mouth But you take the lion's share. There's nothing quite like power When the clock strikes the hour I can feel myself changing... I am a rabid dog. I am fire, I am fog. I want to be somebody else. I want to rip me from myself, so I'm gonna be somebody else. Change your life Open your eyes What are you doing here?!?

Moth 04:50
lyrics

Raindrops hit the window. Where you go I follow. In sunshine In night time Where do they go? Where do they go? All those summer nights are shining in your eyes All the city lights are gleaming As we go by As we go by Where do they go when I follow When I fall low When I follow You, just you, just you, just you. The way you turn me on It's scary The way a moth eats a strawberry And when the light is on And when the light is off Where do they go? Where do they go? All those butterflies that painted up the sky All my dearest friends are leaving As I go by As I go by Where do they go when I follow When I fall low When I follow You, just you, just you, just you. I am falling I am falling I am falling in love. I am falling I am falling I am falling down, down, down.

Sugar Sugar 03:38

I'll pick you up so I can take you home In my convertible Get off your cell phone A pretty girl like you should never be alone. Didn't your father ever tell you so? Well where I come from, come by midnight The shrieking eels and the wolves Hunt under the moonlight Looking for Little Red Riding Hood Making meals of the girls who look really, really good Sugar, Sugar You got style, babe You walk for miles, babe In snapped stilettos through the ghetto From your kung-fu fight with all the lonely boys Those stupid, silly boys Who think they stand a chance To take a bite of you tonight My good sir, surely you jest! This isn't recess. If you want to take me on you'd better be Don Juan In long johns and a bullet-proof vest Where are all the wild things? If you want to party, sing If you want to party, sing Sugar, Sugar Everywhere you go, everything you do I'll be there with you Every single night, I'll be there to fight To fight them off of you. My baby's crazy.

All the Kids 03:51
lyrics

It's not fair! All the kids get to rock and roll All they do is eat candy all night Grown-ups don't know what the hell they're doing. I'm telling you, the kids know how to do it right. Everything grown-ups want is green and boring Cold and cruel like a car or a second ice age Or to kill some other people Like what's-his-face from that one place While the kids are home, starving Making minimum wage Come on, wassup? Is this really all there is after recess? Come on, get up, I'm not living in a place like this. Wash your hands Lick your plate Round here, if we have dinner Then we have it very late All your friends Bleed the same Put your Pumas on because this is gonna be One vicious game Called Heartbreak. Backstab. Faking it. Phone tag. Reality TV. Making out. "Look at me." Full Time CSR. L-O-O-S-S-E-R. He said this. She said that. On your shoe, Whose heart is that? Not mine, no. I ain't ever growing up. It's not fair! All the kids get to rock and roll. When the grown-ups try to do it It's like a big, black hole. Sucking the life out of the you, out of the me, Out of the party All the kids are taking over All the kids they are an army Come on, wassup? Is this really all there is after recess? Come on, get up, I'm not living in a place like this. Now let's party.

Why can't it be summertime all the time? Why can't it be lemon lime all the time, all the time In the city all the hip hop coming from the rooftops All the cool kids hanging outside of the record shops Why can't it be summertime all the time? Why can't it be lemon lime all the time, all the time In the city all the pretty girls Are off in their own little worlds Driving down the boardwalk Drinking their raspberry swirls I'm tired of the snow crunching under my feet I wanna drown in the ocean, wanna melt in the heat She's gonna look like Audrey Hepburn After all the plastic surgery Then we're gonna move to California And someday she's gonna marry me. Why can't it be summertime all the time? Why can't it be lemon lime all the time, all the time In the city all the rich folks Are putting on a fashion show Blowing banana bubblegum To the beat of the rock and roll I'm tired of the snow crunching under my feet I wanna drown in the ocean, wanna melt in the heat She's gonna look like Audrey Hepburn After all the plastic surgery Then we're gonna move to California And someday she's gonna marry me. Why can't it be summertime all the time? Why can't it be lemon lime all the time, all the time

Vanilla 03:43
lyrics

Oh, what a bright world Oh, what a fight, world! You owe it so much A shiny penny per touch Each time you got it, you don't get it It's never enough We live in the belly of a whale There are cabaret girls on wholesale We eat strawberries and cut firewood From the nose of Pinocchio. Oh, what a bright world Oh, what a fight, world! You owe it everything Four stolen birds' wings Three drops of dew Before the closest of the crickets sings. We die in the belly of a whale Clamoring for the holy grail We drink old sherry and wrench violins From the throat of the maestro. It sounds like, "Oh, oh, oh, I didn't mean it!" You and a loved one take your clothes off Pray to the sun, then fly away Oh, vanilla vanilla vanilla, oh.

Out Here 04:30
lyrics

Well I can't wait to go back home And tell my family the things I've seen This world is so strange and wonderful! This world is like a dream There are people sitting down to eat While there are people starving in the street But they pay them no mind Because they're strangers. Hey, you! Let's be friends today. We'll pretend we love each other And then we'll go our separate ways. No! Don't you leave me! I said no! Don't you leave me out here! Out here I can't wait to go back home and Feel the fire warm my bones This world is so sad and beautiful This world is heaven or a big black hole. There are people who are like machines There are people who are so sad and mean There are people who chase their dreams There are people who know It's not as bad as it seems. Hey, you! Let's be friends today. We'll pretend we love each other And then we'll go our separate ways. No! Don't you leave me! I said no! Don't you leave me out here! Out here
