01. Making a Fire

I've been waiting
Elevating
Hanging on the line
Hate to say it
Your new favorite's going out of style
Threw away those broken heroes
They're just wood and wires
Hallelujah
Spread the news but don't believe the hype
Alright

Are you afraid of the dark?
I know a place we can start

But if this is the last time
Make up your mind
I've waited a lifetime to live
It's time to ignite
I'm making a fire

I was begging when I said I'd never tell a lie
Luck be damned 
I took a stand and finally hit my stride
Bye bye

Are you afraid of the dark?
I know a place we can start

But if this is the last time
Make up your mind
I've waited a lifetime to live
It's time to ignite
I'm making a fire

Are you afraid of the dark?
I know a place we can start

So if this is the last time
Make up your mind
I've waited a lifetime to live
It's down to the wire

This is the last time
I've made up my mind 
I've waited a lifetime to live
It's time to ignite
I'm making a fire



02. Shame Shame

If you want to
I'll make you feel something real just to bother you
Now I got you
Under my thumb like a drug I will smoother you
I'll be the one, be the moon, be the sun, be the rain in your song
Go and put that record on
If you want to
I'll be the one, be the tongue that will swallow you

Shame, shame, shame, shame
Shame, shame, shame, shame

Another splinter under the skin
Another season of loneliness
I found a reason and buried it
Beneath the mountain of emptiness

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Shame, shame, shame, shame

Who, what, where, when
Just move along nothing wrong until we meet again
I'll be the end
I'll be the war at your door, come and let me in
I'll be the one, be the moon, be the sun, be the rain in your song
Go and put that record on
If you want to
I'll be the one, be the tongue that will swallow you

Another splinter under the skin
Another season of loneliness
I found a reason and buried it
Beneath the mountain of emptiness

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Shame, shame, shame, shame
Shame, shame, shame, shame
Shame, shame, shame, shame
Shame, shame, shame, shame

Another splinter under the skin
Another season of loneliness
I found a reason and buried it
Beneath the mountain of emptiness

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Shame, shame, shame, shame
Shame, shame, shame, shame



03. Cloudspotter

Big baby, run and hide
Hope it don't sting when the feeling dies
I got sweet dreams, tucked in tight
Silver screen sister in a suit and tie
Two lovers, sick and tired
Standing in the mirror
It's my good side
Match made in heaven, show me the light
Burn me right down like a house on fire
Cloudspotter
Burn me right down like a house on fire
Cloudspotter

Calling on someone else's dime
Put your two cents where the sun don't shine

Swing, swing guillotine queen
Swing it from the left to the right
Bang! Bang! Bang!
You're so mean
But don't we look good? Don't we look good?
Swing, swing guillotine queen
Cut me back down to size
Bang, bang, bang
Know what I mean?
Don't we look good? Don't we look good?
Cloudspotter!

Head ringing in the dead of night
Just a pair of lovesick parasites
Put me on hold
Hold on tight
Everything's wrong when you got no right
Cloudspotter 
Everything's wrong when you got no right
Cloudspotter

I need to know, but I don't ask why
Refuse me while I kiss the sky

Swing, swing guillotine queen
Swing it from the left to the right
Bang! Bang! Bang!
You're so mean
But don't we look good? Don't we look good?
Swing, swing guillotine queen
Cut me back down to size
Bang, bang, bang
Know what I mean?
Don't we look good? Don't we look good?
Cloudspotter!

I need to know, but I don't ask why
Refuse me while I kiss the sky

Swing, swing guillotine queen
Swing it from the left to the right
Bang! Bang! Bang!
You're so mean
But don't we look good? Don't we look good?
Swing, swing guillotine queen
Cut me back down to size
Bang, bang, bang 
Know what I mean?
Don't we look good? Don't we look good?
Cloudspotter!



04. Waiting on a War

I've been waiting on a war since I was young
Since I was a little boy with a toy gun
Never really wanted to be number one
Just wanted to love everyone

Is there more to this than that?
Is there more to this than that?
Is there more to this than that?
Is there more to this than
Just waiting on a war?

Everyday waiting for the sky to fall
Big crash on a world that's so small
Just a boy with nowhere left to go
Fell in love with a voice on the radio

Is there more to this than that?
Is there more to this than that?
Is there more to this than that?
Is there more to this than
Just waiting on a war?
Just waiting on a war for this and that
There's got to be more to this than that
Just waiting on a war for this and that
There's got to be more to this than that

I've been waiting on a war since I was young
Since I was a little boy with a toy gun

Is there more to this than just waiting on a war?

Just waiting on a war for this and that
There's got to be more to this than that
Just waiting on a war for this and that
There's got to be more to this than that
Just waiting on a war for this and that
There's got to be more to this than that
Just waiting on a war for this and that
There's got to be more to this than that
Because I need more
Yeah, I need more
Than just waiting on a war



05. Medicine at Midnight

Say a prayer and close the light
Thumb upon the scale
The pillow is cold
That ship has sailed
Time has run the river dry
Dry as a twisted trail
Into the bone
I'm into it

Ever get the feeling nothing else will do?
I could hear you singing
Pink turned to blue
Was it your graffiti?
Did you write your name?
On the dirty ceiling
I can't, explain I need...

Medicine at midnight
But it ain't no cure
Medicine at midnight calling
But it ain't no cure
I may be sick, but you know I'm yours

I remember dancing hard
Under the Dead Moon
Howling with you
Howling

Ever get the feeling nothing else will do?
I could hear you singing
I can't explain, I need...

Medicine at midnight
But it ain't no cure
Medicine at midnight howling
But it ain't no cure
I may be sick, but you know I'm yours
 
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes 

Medicine at midnight
But it ain't no cure 
Medicine at midnight howling
But it ain't no cure
I may be sick, but you know I'm yours

Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes



06. No Son of Mine

No son of mine will ever do
The work of villains, the will of fools
If you believe it
It must be true
No son of mine
No son of mine

No son of mine will ever need to beg forgiveness
No wicked deed
Head full of evil, heart full of greed
No son of mine
No son of mine

Here we are
Living dead
Hand to God with one foot in the grave
Age of lost innocence
Don't forget what your good book says
No son of mine

No son of mine will ever be
Under the power vested in thee
March into slaughter down on his knees
No son of mine
No son of mine

Here we are
Living dead
Hand to God with one foot in the grave
Age of lost innocence
Don't forget what your good book says
No son of mine

No son of mine will ever say
Words of illusion, oh this I pray
Heretofore taking my name in vain
No son of mine
No son of mine

Here we are
Living dead
Hand to God with one foot in the grave
Age of lost innocence
Don't forget what your good book says
No son of mine



07. Holding Poison

I got this thing and I've been taking it out on you
Taking it out on you
Poor you
Like a machine that's always breaking down on you
Breaking down on you
So true

I spin around, and then out of the blue

I'm holding the poison down
Holding the poison down
Something to drown you out
Holding the poison down
You know I want what I want
I get what I get
You know what I mean?
I meant what I said
I'm holding the poison down
Holding the poison down

I get the feeling there ain't nothing that I can do
Nothing will get me through
So blue
Sometimes I dream, I can dream I can dream
And then I bleed and I bleed and I bleed
I get the feeling there ain't nothing that I can do

I spin around, and then out of the blue

I'm holding the poison down
Holding the poison down
Something to drown you out
Holding the poison down
You know I want what I want
I get what I get
You know what I mean?
I meant what I said
I'm holding the poison down
Holding the poison down

I spin around, and then out of the blue

I'm holding the poison down 
Holding the poison down
Something to drown you out
Holding the poison down
You know I want what I want
I get what I get
You know what I mean?
I meant what I said 
I'm holding the poison down
Holding the poison down



08. Chasing Birds

Chasing birds
To get high
I'm never coming down
Chasing birds
Through the sky
I'm never coming down
My heart is six feet underground

The road to hell is paved with good intentions
Dark inventions of mine
The road to hell is paved with broken parts
Bleeding hearts like mine

Chasing birds
Through the sky
And deep into the black
Chasing birds
Say goodbye
I'm never coming back
Here comes another heart attack

The road to hell is paved with good intentions
Dark inventions of mine
The road to hell is paved with broken parts
Bleeding hearts like mine

Chasing birds
To get high
I'm never coming down
My heart is six feet underground

The road to hell is paved with good intentions 
Dark inventions of mine
The road to hell is paved with broken parts
Bleeding hearts like mine



09. Love Dies Young

Love dies young
And there's no resuscitation 
Once it's done
No regeneration 
It's a losing game that'll make you play your hand against your chest
Love dies young

Love dies young
And there's no reanimation
Once it's gone
No regeneration
It's a bitter kiss that'll make you wish you never had a taste

Love dies young
Love dies young
Please don't take my breath
Don't take my breath away
Love dies young

Love's so dumb
So what's the fascination
Leaves you numb
With a nasty reputation
When you lose your head and the lights go out
You'll never be the same

Love dies young
Love dies young
Please don't take my breath
Don't take my breath away
Love dies young

Never-ending cemeteries 
Funeral parades
All your dreams are buried in their place

Love dies young
Please don't take my breath
Don't take my breath away
Love dies young
 
Love dies young
Love dies young
Please don't take my breath
Don't take my breath away
Love dies young
