The Bureau

Get up
Get in-
The operator for the boogeyman, we-
Sit up
Begin-
Now levitator please connect me to Holy Ghost
We don't know how to begin
We just end and grab my hand we-
We got no love for the man
We just end-
Grab your friend
Everybody keep it calm tonight
Everyone we're going live tonight
Everybody's getting on tonight
Everybody's getting on
And so am I
Fed up
All in-
They're gonna' make you a star
To get you all to behave
Get up
Cash in-
And elevator please direct me to level ten
We all want it again
We're all just born to descend we-
Got no love for the end
Got no lines at the end of this
Everybody keep it calm tonight
Everyone we're going live tonight
Everybody's getting on tonight
Everybody's getting on
And so am I

Action Cat

We want television bodies that we can't keep
We have battles in the dark when she falls asleep

We can make it up again
We can make it up again
And we don't care we just pretend
With our faces on the mend
And don't ask a lot
And you won't lose a lot
Don't ask for much

Every accidental damage I wouldn't take
Every heart I left behind that you couldn't break

We can make it up again
We can make it up again
And we don't care we just pretend
With our faces on the mend
And don't ask a lot
And you won't lose a lot
Don't ask for much

And I still miss you
Say I missed you too
Still I miss you
Say I missed me too
Still I missed you
Say I missed me too

We want action and decision that we can't fake
We got fire cracker wishes that we can make

We can make it up again
We can make it up again
And we don't care we just pretend
With our faces on the mend
And don't ask a lot
And you won't lose a lot
Don't ask for much

Oh
Do you miss me?
'Cause I miss you
Do you miss me?
'Cause I miss you
Do you miss me?
'Cause I miss you
Do you miss me?
'Cause I miss you so

No Shows

Been weeks I been living and your smiles are giving me all types of treble

Weak knees I been given and those nights are making me star-struck and metal

Stay free
Don't go
Cuz we don't need no

Try to be living as your vice and can you be my type?

Cuz we need to be given a good life and can I be your type of metal?

Stay free
Don't go
Cuz we don't need no shows

We don't need no shows
We don't need no shows

Pay for the devil a plug to a pedal I'm your type
Weak knees from the level I'm sick from the treble I'm your type of metal

Weak knees don't go
Cuz we don't need no shows

She's sweet as battery, man I got nothin
You kiss an enemy's hands, I got nothing
We got an animal band and that's something
It's not love if it's just f*cking

We don't need no shows

Brother

Does anyone have the time to bring me down?
And can I sleep all night long to the drums of the city rain?
Just make it up
Cuz I'm awake all night long to the drums of the city rain

And brother if you have the chance to pick me up?
And can I sleep on your couch to the pound of the ache and pain?
I'm my head cuz I'm awake all night long to the drums of the city rain

The lights we chase
The nights we steal
The things that we take
to make us feel this
I can't go back
Don't think I will
I won't sleep tonight as long as I still
Hear the drums of the city rain

Does anyone have the guts to shut me up?
Cuz I believe that every night
There's a chance we can walk away
So hold on tight
Because I won't wait too long in the drums of the beating rain

Cuz the nights don't last
And we leave alone
Will you drive me back?
Can you take me home?

The lights we chase
The nights we steal
The things that we take
to make us feel this
I can't go back
Don't think I will
I won't sleep tonight as long as I still
Hear the drums of the city rain

Faces I don't know
I am tired in the glow
Of the freezing glow
Keep me breathing don't make the lights come back
Can you take me home?
We all need this when we leave alone

Remember when you and I would make things up?
So many nights, just take me down to the place we would hear them play
I miss that sound
Cuz now we don't sing so loud
To the drums of the city rain

The lights we chase
The nights we steal
The things that we take
to make us feel this
I can't go back
Don't think I will
I won't sleep tonight as long as I still
Hear the drums of the city rain

Like strangers laugh and like subways feel
Things I'm trying to break
Oh, just wait until this is all we have to keep us ill
I won't breathe tonight as long as I still hear the drums of the city rain

Millions

You twist my arm
I'm twisting fate
You'll leave alone, or crazy great
Or break into a million pieces, all your reasons

Lets live alone
And out of state
Lets make up everything and wake up breathing
Don't give a damn about the wreck you leave in

You can use my friends, but that depends-

On what they're for
And while we're laying on the floor
My mouth is sore
I'm keeping score
A million reasons but I need a million more

You believe in love
I believe in faith
They'll believe in anything, you make up villains
A trillion legions of the damned and William,
It was really me
It was really you
There was really nothing I could do
Until then,
Let's use our magic powers with the children

You don't understand, we don't hold hands

Come catch me, run
Cuz I'm not having any fun
I think you're sore
I think I'm done
A million reasons

Can I be your number one?

Yeah, yeah

Zero Zero

I try to love that way
Of getting information
I've gotta walk away
Shout like a suffocation

Call me zero, zero, zero
Call me zero you are zero
Call me zero, zero, zero
Call me zero you are zero-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Another cloudy day
Another observation
You've got to walk away
Down by the record station

Call me zero, zero, zero
Call me zero you are zero
Call me zero, zero, zero
Call me zero you are zero-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You're comin' around and give me lots of station
Oh, oh, oh, and you'll be comin' around until you go and make up
Give me some sort of disease, oh give me teenage razors
Give me some sort of disease, oh give me higher fazers

You've gotta love that way
Give me some information
She's gotta walk away

Call me zero, zero, zero
Call me zero you are zero
Call me zero, zero, zero
Call me zero, you are zero
Call me zero, zero, zero
Call me zero, I am zero
Call me zero, zero, zero
Call me zero, zero, zero

Juarez

I can't swim, don't rub it in
I'm gonna run a little faster
I can't swim, so plug it in
Me and my heavy metal master

Down and around when the comes come down and
Down and around when the cops come down on you
Jump around to the cop-show sound
Sing death to the crown, man

I can't swim, don't rub it in
I'm gonna run a little faster
I'm greg ginn
I'm running skin
I'm selling glitter for the plaster
Down and around when the comes come down and
Down and around when the cops come down on you
Jump around to the cop-show sound
Sing death to the crown, man

We got it. you got it. I want it. I want it now

I can't swim, don't rub it in
I'm gonna run a little faster
I can't swim, so plug it in
Me and my heavy, my heavy girl
Down and around when the comes come down and
Down and around when the cops come down on you
Jump around to the cop-show sound
Get straight cuz I'm down, man

I can't swim

Drugstore Perfume

She waits at windows
Her dreams don't show in color and she sleeps for
now
She just waits around wishing she-

Could leave, single mothers
In parking lots and wear another girl's evening out
This place let you down easy

She gets up to buy a drink
I'd notice why when she walks by
There's something caught in her eye, she says

That she can't change for love
And she explains how long she's waited for
She wanted more

Dead leaves, desperate summers
All-ages clubs and metal shutter to keep you out

While we hang around factories
'Till we meet each other
Two discount lives and heavy numbers to keep you

Down

If I wait around, maybe she-

Might come back to say that I'm

Not sure you know my name, that's fine

But take me with you this time she says
That she can't change for love
And she explains how long she's waited for
She wanted more

Gone today
I might just see you around
It hurts, but I understand if you can't find another
reason not to stay
And while she's walking away she says

That she can't change for love
And she explains how long she's waited for
She wanted more
And as these days go by
Well they can't change how long we've waited for
A love that's more
A love that's more

Get The Gang Together

Who got stuck with the check?
Who got left at the aisle
Did they say they burned Capitol Station down?
And then I heard Jennifer died in Rome

They'll come looking for answers
They might start asking you why
Anyway, I don't need you to do me favors but I sure

need you-
I sure need you to lie

Let's get it together right now
Let's get it together somehow

Can we get it together right now?
Can we get it together somehow?

Whatever happened to Rico?
You heard what happened to Sly?
Anyway, they all call him Michelle now and he had a
new baby-
A little girl Gemini
You got blood on your money
You got some mud in your eye
Anyway, so tell Mara I miss that thing we had

And tell Tara I'm sorry I never tried-

To keep it together right now
Just keep it together somehow

Help me keep it together right now
Can we keep it together somehow?

You know if I come around this way again
It's gonna be a surprise
She's putting lipstick on homeless boys in Korea
Town-
Driving Angel down right now

Right now

Let's get it together right now
Let's get it together somehow

Can we get it together right now?
Can we get it together somehow?

How's It Going To Be

Across the city steam and light
Off a runway to the manufactured night-
In storybooks you'll never find
In paper armor that you'd mind
They'll hold the match to you this time-
And watch the smoke rings fit the crime

In moments you cannot reprise
Like a soldier or a watch that you can't wind
We fought the world with hands twice-tied
The people cheered, the captain cried
I'll keep the souvenir inside
It's just better in my mind

And I wouldn't lie
I never really wanted more
Than what I ever really needed after all
Someone that hates to see me go

You made a promise then you hide
And you said we'd all be dead by twenty-five
It's not your disappointed sigh
It's not you traded this for pride
Not that we really even mind
We're just bored you're still alive

And I wouldn't lie
If I tried, take me down
And if I die here now-

Wishing wells and magic spells and everything
between
Can you tell me what it's like?
Or how it's going to be?

Maya The Psychic

We're not just dreamers,
we're the kind the kind that comprehend
We gather up our forces
She's busy hearing voices again-
Pneumonic-screamers came to gather up our friends
If giving in is pointless then get out of bed or this
might be the end

Voices hearing you loud
We're taking the sound back with us
Now I'm hearing you loud
We're coming around
Just give us more

You teenage believers, rallied up against the fence
Use weapons of clairvoyance
You adolescent strike-force against
Metallic deceivers
From a planet far away
But when you read my fortune are we running home
or running free today?

Voices hearing you loud
We're taking the sound back with us
Now I'm hearing you loud
We're coming around
Just give us more

Are you hearing voices again?
Are they with you, and are they giving you commands?
I know you've had choices to make

But I'm with you-
You're never facing them alone again

Voices hearing you loud
We're taking the sound back with us
Now I'm hearing you loud
We're coming around
Just give us more

Are you hearing voices?

Are you waiting for this?

Television All The Time

(Japanese Bonus Track)

If we don't stop leaving
If we don't stop leaving accidents
We'll never get that far
Who you are
If we all stop needing
If we all stop needing oxygen
We'll never get to fall, so far
These are the days like crazy rain
Like a flood will try to catch you and just fade away
There are the days that we wait to say
You could go away
Today
If we all stop bleeding
If we all stop bleeding over them
We'll never get too far
Oh you are
If we all stop needing
If we all stop needing love to care about ourselves and who you are
These are the days like crazy rain
Like a flood will try to catch you and just fade away
There are the days that we wait to say
You could go away
Today
Say she always puts a gameshow on and
Now she says she wants to be in movies
Cuz it feels just like the apartment where you stayed
And her favorite show means nothing to me
Cuz I think I'm sick of it now
These are the days like crazy rain
Like a flood will try to catch you and just fade away
These are the days that we wait to say
You could go away
