Get Out Lyrics

[Verse 1]

What if there's no more fun to have?

And all I've got is what I had

What if I have forgotten how?

Cut my losses and get out now

Get out right now!

[Chorus]

There's something stronger than me

There's something I don't wanna see

A new thing growin' in me

[Verse 2]

It is the hardest thing to do

To watch it grow on top of you

And see you're just like everyone

No fun!

[Chorus]

There's something stronger than me

There's something I don't wanna see

A new thing growin' in me

There's something I don't wanna see

[Bridge]

I don't speak that language anymore!

My blood is not that color anymore!

My blood don't shine the same way anymore!

I cannot deny it anymore!

[Chorus]

There's something stronger than me

There's something I don't wanna see

Got a new thing growin' in me

There's something I don't wanna see

There's something stronger than me

There's something I don't wanna see

A new thing growin' in me!

Ricochet Lyrics

[Verse 1]

All of that thick time without you

Has made me so thick and drunk

And it's okay to laugh about it

I said it's okay to laugh about it

[Verse 2]

Runnin' twice as fast to stay in the same place

Don't catch my breath till the end of the day

And I'd rather be shot in the face

Than hear what you're goin' to say

[Pre-Chorus]

One day the wind will come up

And you'll come up empty again

And who'll be laughing then?

You'll come up empty again

There's no reason, no explanation

So play the violins

[Chorus 1]

It's always funny until someone gets hurt

And then it's just hilarious

It's always funny until someone gets hurt

And then it's just hilarious

[Verse 3]

You beat me every time you blink

If only I did not have to think

Think about you crackin' a smile

Think about you all the while

[Pre-Chorus]

One day the wind will come up

And you'll come up empty again

And who'll be laughing then?

You'll come up empty again

There's no reason, no explanation

So play the violins

[Chorus 2]

On the ricochet, it's gonna hit you

It's always funny until someone gets hurt

On the ricochet, it's gonna hit you

It's always funny until someone gets hurt

You can laugh at me when it misses you

And you can laugh at me when it misses you (Just hilarious)

You can laugh at me, oh when it misses you (It's always funny until someone gets hurt)

(And then it's just hilarious)

It's always funny until someone gets hurt

And then it's just hilarious

It's always funny until someone gets hurt

And then it's just hilarious

The Gentle Art of Making Enemies Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The words are so familiar

All the same greats, the same mistakes

It doesn't have to be like this

If you don't make a friend now

One might make you, so learn

The gentle art of making enemies

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Don't you look so surprised

Happy birthday, fucker

Blow that candle out

We're gonna kick you, kick you

Don't say you're not, because you are

History tells us that you are

[Chorus]

And all you need is just one more excuse

You put up one hell of a fight

I wanna hear your very best excuse

I never felt this much alive

[Verse 2]

Your day has finally come

So wear the hat and do the dance

And let the suit keep wearing you

This year you'll sit and take it

And you will like it

It's the gentle art of making enemies

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I deserve a reward

'Cause I'm the best fuck that you ever had

And if I tighten up my hole

You may never see the light again

There's always an easy way out!

You need something wet in your mouth!

[Chorus]

And all you need is just one more excuse

You put up one hell of a fight

I wanna hear your very best excuse

I never felt this much alive

[Outro]

I never felt, never felt this much alive

I never felt, never felt this much alive!

I never felt, this much alive!

Cuckoo for Caca Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's cold and it's smooth and it's

A hard shade of white

And everybody needs to lick the surface clean

And it never tastes better, it never tastes better

[Pre-Chorus 1]

White blooms to white and freezes white again

Close it before something crawls in

Commit it, leave it, get away

We always drop our good side

[Verse 2]

Bein' good gets you stuff

Bein' stuff gets you good

Good stuff gets you bein' and wheelin' and dealin' and squealin'!

Shit lives forever, oh, shit lives forever

[Pre-Chorus 2]

They have no legs, but chase us anyway

Wipe the shadow of your best friend

Gave birth to something we don't want to be

We drop our good side

[Chorus]

You can't kill it!

[Verse 3]

Eat is just as deep as you can fuck it

So cough it up or go down

And there's only one thing that separates a man...

Shit lives forever, oh, shit lives forever

[Pre-Chorus 3]

We'll retire with a turd on our lips

Under a pair of knowing eyes

I'm gonna take a few down with me

And drop my good side

[Chorus]

You can't kill it!

[Outro]

Take it from our drummer, "Puff"

Being good it gets you... stuff

Caralho Voador Lyrics

[Verse 1]

They all know me by my car

They all know I'm gone, but not how far

I'm heading straight down 101

I'm going to go and get me some

[Chorus]

My lips are movin' but there's no sound

Someday somebody's gonna get run down

Gonna get run down

[Verse 2]

Eu não posso dirigir

E agora aparece

Meu dedo enterrado

No meu nariz

[Chorus]

My lips are movin' but there's no sound

Someday somebody's gonna get run down

My lips are movin' but there's no sound

Someday somebody's gonna get run down

Gonna get run down

[Chorus]

My lips are movin' but there's no sound

Someday somebody's gonna get-a run down

My lips are movin' but there's no sound

Someday somebody's gonna get-a run down

Gonna get run down

[Instrumental Outro with Vocalizations]

Digging the Grave Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It would be wrong to ask you why

Because I know what goes inside

Is only half of what comes out

Isn't that what it's about?

It's about

To remind us we're alive

To remind us we're not blind

In that big black hole

[Pre-Chorus]

Comfortable

Digging the grave, I got it made

[Chorus]

Let something in, throw something out

You left the door open wide

[Verse 2]

I know you have a reason why

That knot is better left untied

I just went and undid mine

It takes some time

And the shadow's so big

It takes the sun out of the day

And the feeling goes away

When you close the door

[Pre-Chorus]

Comfortable

Digging the grave, I got it made

[Chorus]

Let something in, throw something out

You left the door open wide

[Post-Chorus]

Digging the grave, I got it made

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]

Oh!

[Pre-Chorus]

Comfortable

Digging the grave, I got it made

[Chorus]

Let something in, throw something out

You left the door open wide

[Outro]

Oh-oh-oh-oh

And it's out of this world, comfortable!

Out of this world, comfortable!

King for a Day Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It is not a good day, if you are not lookin' good

This is the best party that I've ever been to

Today I asked for a god to pour some wine in my eyes

Today I asked for someone to shake some salt on my life

[Chorus]

Look, everything's spinnin'

(We're on the ground)

Never cheer before you know who's winnin'

(Don't make a sound)

[Verse 2]

You sniff the glass and let it roll around on your tongue

Let me introduce you to someone before the party is done

Someone to look to in need or in want or in war

If you give him everything, he may give you even more

[Chorus]

Look, everything's spinnin'

(We're on the ground)

Never cheer before you know who's winnin'

(Don't make a sound)

[Refrain]

Look, everything's spinning, we're on the ground!

[Bridge]

Never cheer before you know who's winning

Don't make a sound, don't make a sound!

[Refrain]

Everything's spinning, we're on the ground!

[Outro]

This is the best party I've been to

Don't let me die with that silly look in my eyes

What a Day Lyrics

[Verse 1]

A piece of mail, a letter head

A piece of hair on a human head

They're sayin' to me, "I should've killed it"

"I should've killed it, I shoulda killed it"

"I should've killed it before"

[Bridge]

You're right, you're right

"Kill the body and the head will die"

They're laughin' at me, "I shoulda learnt it"

"I shoulda learnt it, I shoulda learnt it"

"I shoulda learned it, I shoulda learned it"

"I shoulda learned it before"

[Chorus]

What a day, what a day

If you can look it in the face and hold your vomit

What a day, what a day

If you can look it in the face and hold your vomit

[Verse 2]

A wet sneeze and a "no left turn"

A row of teeth and an encouraging word

Beneath a mile of skin, "I shoulda noticed it"

"I shoulda noticed it, I noticed it before"

"I noticed it before"

"Noticed it before"

[Chorus]

What a day, what a day

If you can look it in the face and hold your vomit

What a day, what a day

If you can look it in the face and hold your vomit

[Outro]

What a day, what a day, what a day, what a day, what a day, what a

Day, what a day, what a day, what a day, what a day, what a day, what a

Don't touch it!

What a day! What a day! What a day! Don't you touch it!

What a day! What a day! What a day! Don't you touch!

Just a Man Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sky is clear tonight

Sky is clear tomorrow

A star is out

I reach for one to sparkle in my hand

A star is out

I will not touch you, I am just a man

Sky is clear tonight

Sky is clear tomorrow

[Chorus]

And every night I shut my eyes

So I don't have to see the light

Shining so bright

I'll dream about a cloudy sky, about a cloudy sky

[Verse 2]

Sky is clear tonight

Sky is clear tomorrow

A star is out

I reach for one to sparkle in my hand (in your hand)

A star is out

I will not touch you, I am just a man ('cause he is just a man)

[Bridge]

Man was born to love

Though often he has sought, like Icarus, to fly too high

And far too lonely than he ought

To kiss the sun of east and west

And hold the world at his behest

To hold the terrible power to whom only gods are blessed

But me, I am just a man!

[Chorus]

And every night I shut my eyes

So I don't have to see the light (see the light)

Shining so bright

I'll dream about a cloudy sky, about a cloudy sky

And every night I shut my eyes

But now I got them open wide (open wide)

You've fallen into my hands

And now you're burning me

And every night I shut my eyes

So I don't have to see the light (see the light)

Shining so bright

I'll dream about a cloudy sky, about a cloudy sky

And every night I shut my eyes

But now I've got them open wide, wide! (open wide)

Shining so bright!

I'll dream about a cloudy sky, about a cloudy sky

[Outro]

A cloudy night

Whoo, a cloudy sky

That's what I say (see the light)

(Shining so bright)

I'll dream about the cloudy sky, about a cloudy sky

Oh! That's right! Oh! A cloudy sky!
