They say you never really know someone
Until they’re long gone and the damage is done
They say you’re never gonna get nowhere
If all you ever do is stare at the sun
All I know is that it’s all for show
Sometimes it comes easy but it’s always easy go
Oh oh oh oh oh
If this is what you wanted
Oh oh oh oh oh
You can always go back home
Oh oh oh oh oh
Give me back my jacket
Oh oh oh oh oh
Then go back to Buffalo
I’ve heard that patience is its own reward
but what you want me to wait for, you know I can’t afford
I heard you talking on the phone last night
I was standing right there outside of your door
All I know is that it’s all for show
Sometimes it comes easy but it’s always easy go
Oh oh oh oh oh
If this is what you wanted
Oh oh oh oh oh
You can always go back home
Oh oh oh oh oh
Give me back my jacket
Oh oh oh oh oh
Then go back to Buffalo

Undercover
03:19

Every once-in-a-while
She gets this look in her eye
Like she’s got something dirty on her mind
She grabs up some clothes
Then where she goes surely god only knows
When she finally comes back
It’s like she’s on the attack
And she’s all done up her eyes painted black
We flirt like we’ve never met
Then jet off to bed and we’re set
You never know who she’s gonna be
Some lonely face you’ve never seen
You won’t find any better lover
When she goes undercover
I don’t know when it began
but I made it part of the plan
To let her come and go and come again
She found what it takes
Ain’t no mistake when she lets off the brakes
Anything that you believe is real
She can show you how good it can feel
But you gotta be sure that you got the right girl ‘cause that’s the last thing she’ll reveal
You never know what you’re gonna get
Some lonely face you haven’t met
You won’t find any better lover
When she goes undercover

Lately
03:05
|
|||
|
Right about the time the streetlight came on
parked on the lawn threw away the keys
1987 fender’s busted, engine rusted
Tires down on their knees
Getting stared down by a blank wall
Another nightfall falling down around me
Lately it’s all the same old story
Gotta get away
So sick of standing still
Leaving here to say
Gonna find another thrill
To blow me away
Trade in a memory
For everything that you’ll never be
Everybody's hot in California
I gotta warn ya you're never gonna want to leave
‘Cause all the stars got a scar to show you
After a drink or two, tucked up their sleeve
Everybody’s not what everybody says
Get into my bed and outta my dreams
Lately it’s all the same old story
Gotta get away
So sick of standing still
Leaving here to say
Gonna find another thrill
To blow me away
Trade in a memory
for everything that you’ll never be
You’ll never be the enemy,
It never meant that much to me
Here is now and then is how
The first and last have come to pass
Getting stared down, by a blank wall
Another nightfall falling down around me
Gotta get away
So sick of standing still
Leaving here to say
Gonna find another thrill
To blow me away
Trade in a memory
For everything that you’ll never be

Told You So
03:42

It doesn't matter doesn't matter what I really feel I think I think I know what’s best
It’s more important more important that I take the fall than give my own thoughts a rest
The agony that you don't see is the easy life thats killing me
I am only one piece of what you need
It’s already gone,
but you’re holding on
Gotta Let go
All that matters if it matters when I try to feel Is I feel like it's all worth the mess
It's not important not important to do anything if anyone but you is impressed
The agony that I can see is it's the easy life thats killing me
I am only one piece of what you need
It’s the same old told-you-so I already know
Just another selfish lover loving out of control
You can't bury your blame without digging a hole
Take your demons and your virtues and line them up in a row

Hard to Believe
03:32
|
|||
|
Every time you look me up
Come through town and call my bluff
I fall in line can’t get enough
I need it one more time
Everytime we raise that glass
I drop my guard, clean up my act
Though I know that it won't last
I need it one more time
There’s nothing I won’t do
To spin your lies until they’re true
It’s easy to forget that you’re so
Easy to fall into
And how easily
You make the truth so hard to believe
It’s easy to forgive
‘Cause you’re so easy on the lips
And the easier it gets
It gets so hard to believe
Every last word that you said
Is everywhere inside my head
And on the floor beside your bed
But it’s keeping me alive
Nothing ever pleases me
Quite like this catastrophe
But I can't change, I'll never leave
Ya it's keeping me alive
There’s nothing I won’t do
So baby here’s to being used
It’s easy to forget that you’re so
Easy to fall into
And how easily
You make the truth so hard to believe
It’s easy to forgive
‘Cause you’re so easy on the lips
And the easier it gets
It gets so hard to believe

You gotta watch your back
We do what Kenneth says
Bleach stained eye
In the back of my head
I’ve been working on this recipe
But I need you to make it
Go and shake it off real slow
You can see the best of me
Or you could go get Lasik
Either way no one will know
Now you gotta get, how you gonna get it?
Goodbye, Goodbye
By the time you hear this
You will know that I was right
Before we grow apart
You better leave now
The birds of paradise
They’re gonna cut you down
The signal’s never strong enough
to find a reason why
The mannequins don’t understand
Two tonics and a cloud of dust
A million ways to spend your time
So tell me what’s your brand
Now you gotta get, how you gonna get it?
Goodbye, Goodbye
By the time you hear this
You will know that I was right

Lost in L.A.
03:28
|

Come on over the hill
Get what you want ‘cause you don’t have to pick up the bill
You could have anything
Come on over the hill
If they don’t love you we’ll find you somebody who will
Someone to take all your pain
Make it go away
It’s on the radio, it’s on your stereo
It’s on the TV show and it never quits
It’s the latest scene filled with broken dreams
It’s only everything, it’s what you make it
We’re lost in L.A. and we’re not going home
Come on over the hill
Get what you want all you gotta do is swallow that pill
You could be anything
Come on over the hill
They already love you it’s time that you go for the kill
You could take all of the fame
Or throw it all away
It’s on the radio, it’s on your stereo
It’s on the TV show and it never quits
It’s the latest scene filled with broken dreams
It’s only everything, it’s what you make it
We’re lost in L.A. and we’re not going home

Black Mini Skirt
04:03
|

|
For every dime a dozen dress–
Thinks nothing and cares even less
You’re the one that’s turning heads
While your friends are all a mess
Yeah I can take a hint and make a move
I bet you thought you knew
Who’d be looking at you
When you put on that black mini skirt
But you couldn’t see what was coming from me
When I bought you that drink
And we started to flirt
In your drop dead red stilettos
And your black mini skirt
You’re down to let your hair down
Dig your heels into the ground
Rage until they kick you out
‘Cause you crave that crazy sound
Let’s drink to having one thing left to lose
I bet you thought you knew
Who’d be looking at you
When you put on that black mini skirt
But you couldn’t see what was coming from me
When I bought you that drink
And we started to flirt
In your drop dead red stilletos
And your black mini skirt

Tonight
03:08
|

|
There's only way to rule this world
You gotta wear that crown like you mean it
Wherever you are grab a drink at the bar
And raise your glass like you believe it
Everybody wants to dance all night
They want to live like this every day
There's only one good reason to wear that dress
And it's to blow all the boys away
Tonight we're going crazy in the fast lane baby
Tonight we can't take it slow
Taking shots taking bets waking up with no regrets tomorrow
Feeling that magnetic pull you're positively sexual
I’m daring you to try and resist
You be the that you know that I want
I’ll be the name dripping off your lips
So come live it up on your last 5 bucks
Cuz one day you’ll make a million more
You can forget all your friends, you don’t have to pretend
Just get out on the dancefloor
Tonight we're going crazy in the fast lane baby
Tonight we can't take it slow
Taking shots taking bets waking up with no regrets tomorrow
We both know how this is gonna go tonight
I want to stare you down so don’t turn out the lights
I want to see you do it right
Tonight we're going crazy in the fast lane baby
Tonight we can't take it slow
Taking shots taking bets waking up with no regrets tomorrow

Perfect Failure
04:37
|
|||
|
You'd be wrong a million times
But still you couldn't make it right
A perfect failure
I've been down a thousand roads
Not one of them was paved in gold
It burns into a blur
The look on your face says it all
Let’s get out of this place get you home and get you off
Laid you down in a dream
I woke up somewhere between
A broken success and a perfect failure
Laid you down in a dream
Caught somewhere between
A broken success and a perfect failure
All dressed up to drown our lives
In sophisticated alibis
Wait for your turn
You're a little mystery
Wrapped up in catastrophe
When will you learn
The look on your face says it all
Let’s get out of this place get you home and get you off
Laid you down in a dream
I woke up somewhere between
A broken success and a perfect failure
Laid you down in a dream
Caught somewhere between
A broken success and a perfect failure
Take whatever you need
Take anything from me
Would that make you believe
You're anything but perfect
But all i can see
Is a failure
You fail so perfectly
Laid you down in a dream
I woke up somewhere between
A broken success and a perfect failure
Laid you down in a dream
Caught somewhere between
A broken success and a perfect failure
