you had a dream that you were somebody
and you were better than everybody
yet you were used to being nobody
and it surprised you that the whole world was so kind and loving
and then you woke up
and you failed to remember anything
like how it felt to know that anything
could be so different

missing part

i've got a bag full of bills
i've got a box full of broken records
i've got a whole pile of books
all about how the world should look
but i still believe you're the prettiest thing to see
i've got a whole graveyard out back
i'm gonna save the best for last
i've got a million things to do
but i'd rather just be with you
i gotta say that i really do hope you stay
climbing the mountain
gonna keep this boulder rolling
gonna stop it from falling down again
i've got a hole in my heart
i gave you the missing part
i want you to hold on to it while i'm gone
baa da da daa badda da ba dada doo da daa
i'm going slowly insane
i'm drinking every single day
i'm surrounded by satan's little maids
i'm not gonna lie, i think i'd much rather die
climbing the mountain
gonna keep this boulder rolling
stop it from falling down again

tell me what's your name
and i'll forget your name
it's all the rage
tell me everything
and i'll tell everyone
it's all the rage
tell me where you're from
and i'll go shoot the mayor
it's all the rage
tell me where you live
and i'll go burn it down
it's all the rage
i don't need to go outside
i'm plugged into the wall
i don't really need to feel the sunshine on my face
when i've got all of these pills to take
tell me what's your name
and i'll forget your name
it's all the rage
tell me everything
and i'll tell everyone
it's all the rage

the neighborhood's burning down
but i'm still thinking of giving up and leaving town
and i'm still
yeah i'm still sleeping on the couch
while flames devour the house
while flames devour the house

buy one, get one free
it's the deal of a lifetime
building billboard machines
we've got wires
we've got everything we need
i thought this was our street
but i don't recognize any of the houses
i'm gonna burn it down
everything
let it grow again
i'm gonna burn it down
burn it all down to the ground
watch the water go
it's got places to be
unlike some people i know
the sun won't rise every day
so you'd better buy all this stuff before it goes away
i thought these were our friends
but i don't recognize any of their spouses
i'm gonna burn it down
everything
let it grow again
i'm gonna burn it down
burn it all down to the ground
just because you're alive
doesn't mean that you should have to fight to survive
and regardless of what you've been told
there's more to life than just growing up
and growing old

(who told you to...)
i saw stars the day we first met
and i didn't know you
and i tried hard
to hide my intent
and try to get to know you
but it was hard
when the internet said that you still had a boyfriend
but i kept heart
and decided right then i was gonna be your boyfriend
the trains are all
breathing out smoke
and feeding on the ashes
and shopping malls
are lucky that concrete doesn't take to matches
but it's all
irrelevant to me
cause i'm in a bunker
and between these walls
we don't need anything but each other
i've got a knack for breaking your heart and fucking up
and you've got a knack for being perfect

i'm bleeding on the couch again
it'll stain, of that i'm sure again
but that doesn't mean i'll be leaving
the car is freefalling again
it's a shame we're careening
but that doesn't mean we'll be dying
and just because she broke it off doesn't mean that it's over
and all your stuff in trash bags out on the curb means nothing
i'm screaming on the floor again
i see blood, of that i am sure again
but that doesn't mean you'll be helping
the house is on fire, again
of that i am sure again
but that doesn't mean we'll call the fireman

laying out here in the front lawn
you can sleep in my arms
and the rain keeps falling down
and the house keeps burning down
and the house keeps burning down
and the house keeps burning down
and the house keeps burning down, down, down
laying out here in the front yard
i can see falling stars
and i make a wish on one
and i watch the colors run
and the boxes are all empty
and the sirens keep on blaring
and the rain keeps falling down
and the house keeps burning down
and the house keeps burning down
and the house keeps burning down
and the house keeps burning down, down, down

it's all about the ways that you can die in outerspace
