The Phoenix Lyrics

[Intro]

Put on your war paint

[Verse 1]

You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down

Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground

We are the jack-o-lanterns in July

Setting fire to the sky

Here, here comes this rising tide so come on

(Put on your war paint)

Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope to dies

Silver clouds with grey linings

[Pre-Chorus]

So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked

One maniac at a time, we will take it back

You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start

So dance alone to the beat of your heart

[Chorus]

Hey, young blood, doesn't it feel

Like our time is running out?

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Wearing our vintage misery

No, I think it looked a little better on me

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

[Verse 2]

Bring home the boys and scrap, scrap metal the tanks

Get hitched, make a career out of robbing banks

Because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks

"You broke our spirit," says the note we pass

[Pre-Chorus]

So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked

One maniac at a time, we will take it back

You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start

So dance alone to the beat of your heart

[Chorus]

Hey, young blood, doesn't it feel

Like our time is running out?

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Wearing our vintage misery

No, I think it looked a little better on me

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

[Break]

Put on your war paint

[Bridge]

The war is won before it's begun

Release the doves, surrender love

The war is won before it's begun

Release the doves, surrender love

The war is won before it's begun

Release the doves, surrender love

(Wave the white flag, wave the white flag, huh!)

The war is won before it's begun

(Wave the white flag, wave the white flag, huh!)

Release the doves, surrender love

(Wave the white flag, wave the white flag, huh!)

[Chorus]

Hey, young blood, doesn't it feel

Like our time is running out?

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Wearing our vintage misery

No, I think it looked a little better on me

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Hey, young blood, doesn't it feel

Like our time is running out?

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

[Outro]

Put on your war paint

My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light em Up) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We sold our souls in dark hotel rooms

We slip tongues and lie like "I will see you soon"'s

Two explorers in the dark

Making maps and drawing shots

[Chorus]

Put the world on notice, I'm ruined and I know it

We threw the game from the start

I'm desperate and devoted, the secret no one told us

My songs know what you did in the dark

[Verse 2]

We sold our souls in dark hotel rooms

We slip tongues and lie like "I will see you soon"'s

Two explorers in the dark

Making maps and drawing shots

[Chorus]

Put the world on notice, I'm ruined and I know it

We threw the game from the start

I'm desperate and devoted, the secret no one told us

My songs know what you did in the dark

[Bridge]

We sold our souls in dark hotel rooms

We slip tongues and lie like "I will see you soon"'s

[Chorus]

Put the world on notice, I'm ruined and I know it

We threw the game from the start

I'm desperate and devoted, the secret no one told us

My songs know what you did in the dark

Woah, my songs know what you did in the dark

Woah, oh

[Outro]

My songs know what you did in the dark

Alone Together Lyrics

[Chorus 1]

I don't know where you're going

But do you got room for one more troubled soul?

I don't know where I'm going

But I don't think I'm coming home

And I said, "I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead"

This is the road to ruin and we're starting at the end

[Chorus 2]

Say, yeah, (Yeah!) let's be alone together (Yeah!)

We could stay young forever (Yeah!)

Scream it from the top of your lungs (Yeah!)

Say, yeah, (Yeah!) let's be alone together (Yeah!)

We can stay young forever (Yeah!)

We'll stay young, young, young, young, young

Uh, uh, uh, uh-oh, uh, uh, uh, uh-oh

[Verse 1]

Cut me off, I lost my track, it's not my fault, I'm a maniac

It's not funny anymore, no it's not

My heart is like a stallion, they love it more when it's broken

Do you wanna feel beautiful, do you wanna, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm outside the door, invite me in

So we can go back and play pretend

I'm on deck, I'm up next

Tonight I'm high as a private jet, 'cause

[Chorus 1]

I don't know where you're going

But do you got room for one more troubled soul?

I don't know where I'm going

But I don't think I'm coming home

And I said, "I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead"

This is the road to ruin and we're starting at the end

[Chorus 2]

Say, yeah, (Yeah!) let's be alone together (Yeah!)

We could stay young forever (Yeah!)

Scream it from the top of your lungs (yeah!)

Say, yeah, (Yeah!) let's be alone together (Yeah!)

We can stay young forever (Yeah!)

We'll stay young, young, young, young, young

Uh, uh, uh, uh-oh, uh, uh, uh, uh-oh

[Bridge]

My heart is like a stallion, they love it more when it's broken

Do you wanna feel beautiful, do you wanna, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm outside the door, invite me in

So we can go back and play pretend

I'm on deck, I'm up next

Tonight I'm high as a private jet, yeah

[Chorus 2]

(Yeah!) Let's be alone together (Yeah!)

We could stay young forever (Yeah!)

Scream it from the top of your lungs

Say, yeah, (Yeah!) let's be alone together (Yeah)

We could stay young forever (Yeah!)

We'll stay young-yo-yo-young, I-I-

[Chorus 1]

I don't know where you're going

But do you got room for one more troubled soul?

I don't know where I'm going

But I don't think I'm coming home

And I said, "I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead"

This is the road to ruin and we're starting at the end

Where Did the Party Go Lyrics

[Intro]

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

[Verse 1]

I'm here to collect your hearts

It's the only reason that I sing

I don't believe a word you say

But I can't stop listening

This is the story of how they met

Her picture was on the back of a pack of cigarettes

And when she touched him he turned ruby red

A story that they'll never forget, never forget

[Pre-Chorus]

And all the boys are smoking Menthols, girls are getting back rubs

I will drift to you if you make yourself shake fast enough

My old aches become new again

My old friends become exes again

[Chorus]

Woah, where did the party go?

We're ending it on the phone

I'm not gonna go home alone

Woah, where did the party go?

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, yeah

[Verse 2]

I know I expect too much

And not enough all at once

You know I only wanted fun

And you got me all fucked up on love

I looked for your name on the ouija board

And your naked magic, oh dear lord

You and me are the difference between real love

And the love on TV, love on TV

[Pre-Chorus]

And all the boys are smoking Menthols, girls are getting back rubs

I will drift to you if you make yourself shake fast enough

My old aches become new again

My old friends become exes again, yeah

[Chorus]

Woah, where did the party go?

We're ending it on the phone

I'm not gonna go home alone

Woah, where did the party go?

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

[Bridge]

We were the kids who screamed, "we weren't the same," in sweaty rooms

Now we're doomed to organizing walk-in closets like tombs

Silent film stars stuck in talking cinema life

So let's fade away together one dream at a time

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

[Chorus]

Woah, where did the party go?

We're ending it on the phone

I'm not gonna go home alone

Woah, where did the party go?

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na...

[Outro]

Cool, step out-

Just One Yesterday Lyrics

[Verse 1: Patrick Stump]

I thought of angels choking on their halos

Get them drunk on rose water (Water)

See how dirty I can get them pulling out their fragile teeth

And clip their tiny wings (Clip their tiny wings)

[Pre-Chorus: Patrick with Foxes]

Anything you say can and will be held against you

So only say my name, it will be held against you

Anything you say can and will be held against you

So only say my name

[Chorus: Patrick with Foxes, Foxes]

If heaven's grief brings hell's rain

Then I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday

(I know I'm bad news)

For just one yesterday

(I saved it all for you)

I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way

Still I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday

(I know I'm bad news)

For just one yesterday

(I saved it all for you)

For just one yesterday

[Verse 2: Patrick with Foxes]

Letting people down is my thing, baby, find yourself a new gig

This town ain't big enough for two of us

I don't have the right name or the right looks (Right looks)

But I have twice the heart

[Pre-Chorus: Patrick with Foxes, Foxes]

Anything you say can and will be held against you

So only say my name, it will be held against you

Anything you say can and will be held against you

So only say my name (Name)

[Chorus: Patrick with Foxes, Foxes]

If heaven's grief brings hell's rain

Then I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday

(I know I'm bad news)

For just one yesterday

(I saved it all for you)

I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way

Still I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday

(I know I'm bad news)

For just one yesterday

(I saved it all for you)

For just one yesterday

[Bridge: Foxes & Patrick]

If I spilled my guts

The world would never look at you the same way

And now I'm here to give you all of my love (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh)

So I can watch your face as I take it all away (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Chorus: Patrick with Foxes, Foxes]

If heaven's grief brings hell's rain

Then I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday

(I know I'm bad news)

For just one yesterday

(I saved it all for you)

I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way

Still I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday

(I know I'm bad news)

For just one yesterday

(I saved it all for you)

For just one yesterday

[Outro: Patrick]

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

The Mighty Fall Lyrics

[Intro: Big Sean]

Oh god!

Sean Don

Fall Out... Boi

[Verse 1: Patrick Stump]

Di-di-did you trip down 12 steps into Malibu, ooh, ooh, ooh

(Malibu, ooh, ooh, ooh)

So why the hell is there a light that's keeping us forever

Bel Air baby, did you get dressed up, pretty pout, pout

(While you bottomed out, out, out, out, oh)

I can't stop it when there's chemicals keeping us together

Uh, uh, uh, I'm singing

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]

Whoa, how the mighty fall, the mighty fall, the mighty fall

They fall in love, how the mighty fall, the mighty fall, the mighty fall

Oh, how the mighty fall in love

[Verse 2: Patrick Stump]

Your crooked love is just a pyramid scheme and I'm dizzy on dreams

(And I'm dizzy on dreams)

But if you ask me two's a whole lot lonelier than one

Baby, we should have left our love in the gutter where we found it

(Gutter where we found it)

'Cause you think, you think your only crime is that you got caught

I'm singing

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]

Whoa, how the mighty fall, the mighty fall, the mighty fall

They fall in love, how the mighty fall, the mighty fall, the mighty fall

Oh, how the mighty fall in love

[Bridge: Patrick Stump]

It's getting clear, you're never coming clean

So lock you up inside and swallow, swallow the key

[Verse 3: Big Sean & Patrick Stump]

Hello? Yeah, I know you said not to call unless I'm dying

Well, I'm driving and I can't stop staring at my eyelids

But, even though my eyes closed, I still see you

I just hope that when you see me, I'm not see-through, you know how we do (Oh)

Sometimes I swear, I need a day just for me to lay

With some T and A, but the way we, the way we do is (Oh)

Deeper, baby, straight-up chemistry, DNA

Make me wanna give you every dollar out my B of A (Oh)

Like, I let her climb on top

I'm either fuckin' or workin', so the grind don't stop (Oh)

They say I got screws missing, well hell, only when I'm missing you

And hell yeah I'm a dick, girl, addicted to you

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]

Whoa, how the mighty fall, the mighty fall, the mighty fall

They fall in love, how the mighty fall, the mighty fall, the mighty fall

Oh, how the mighty fall in love

Miss Missing You Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Don't panic, no, not yet

I know I'm the one you want to forget

Cue all the love to leave my heart

It's time for me to fall apart

[Pre-Chorus]

Now you're gone, but I'll be okay

Your hot whiskey eyes have fanned the flame

Maybe I'll burn a little brighter tonight

Let the fire breathe me back to life

[Chorus]

Baby, you were my picket fence, I miss missing you now and then

Chlorine kissed summer skin, I miss missing you now and then

Sometimes before it gets better, the darkness gets bigger

The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger

Oh, we're fading fast, I miss missing you now and then

[Verse 2]

Making eyes at this husk around my heart

I see through you when we're sitting in the dark

So give me your filth, make it rough

Let me, let me trash your love

[Pre-Chorus]

I will sing to you every day

If it will take away the pain

Oh, and I've heard you got it, got it so bad

'Cause I am the best you'll never have

[Chorus]

Baby, you were my picket fence, I miss missing you now and then

Chlorine kissed summer skin, I miss missing you now and then

Sometimes before it gets better, the darkness gets bigger

The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger

Oh, we're fading fast, I miss missing you now and then

Now and then (Ooh-ooh), now and then (Ooh-ooh), now and then (Ooh-ooh)

[Outro]

Baby, you were my picket fence

I miss missing you now and then...

Death Valley Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I want to see your animal side

Let it all out

I wanna see the dirt under your skin

I need your broken promises

[Pre-Chorus]

I want the guts and glory, baby, baby

This town is wasted and alone

[Chorus]

But we are alive, here in death valley

But don't take love off the table yet

'Cause tonight, it's just fire alarms and losing you

We love a lot, so we only lose a little

But we are alive, we are alive, we are alive

[Verse 2]

I want to see your animal side

Let it all out

Oh, there you go, undress to impress

You can wear the crown but you're no princess

[Pre-Chorus]

So put the "D" in dirt now, baby, baby

Let's get you wasted and alone

[Chorus]

'Cause we are alive, here in death valley

But don't take love off the table yet

'Cause tonight, it's just fire alarms and losing you

We love a lot, so we only lose a little

But we are alive, we are alive, we are alive

[Bridge]

We're going to die, it's just a matter of time

Hard times come, good times go

I'm either gone in an instant

Or here 'til the bitter end, I never know

What I've got will make you feel more alive

I'll be your favorite drug, I will get you high, I will get you high

[Chorus]

We're still, we are alive, here in death valley

But don't take love off the table yet

'Cause tonight, it's just fire alarms and losing you

We love a lot, so we only lose a little

But we are alive, we are alive, we are alive

Young Volcanoes Lyrics

[Intro]

La-dee-da-duh

La-duh-duh-duh-duh

La-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh

[Verse 1]

When Rome's in ruins

We are the lions, free of the Colosseums

In poison places, we are anti-venom

We're the beginning of the end

[Pre-Chorus]

Tonight, the foxes hunt the hounds

It's all over now

Before it has begun

We've already won

[Chorus]

We are wild

We are like young volcanoes

We are wild

Americana, exotica, do you wanna feel a little beautiful, baby?

[Verse 2]

C'mon, make it easy, say I never mattered

Run it up the flag pole

We will teach you how to make boys next door

Out of assholes (Hahaha!)

[Pre-Chorus]

Tonight, the foxes hunt the hounds

It's all over now

Before it has begun

We've already won

[Chorus]

We are wild

We are like young volcanoes

We are wild

Americana, exotica, do you wanna feel a little beautiful, baby?

We are wild

We are like young volcanoes

We are wild

Americana, exotica, do you wanna feel a little beautiful, baby?

Rat a Tat Lyrics

[Intro: Courtney Love, Fall Out Boy]

It's Courtney, bitch

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey!

No thesis existed for burning cities down at such a rampant rate

No graphics and no fucking PowerPoint presentation

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey!

So they just DIY'd that shit and they built their own bombs

She's his suicide blonde, she's better than gold

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey!

[Verse 1: Patrick Stump]

Are you ready for another bad poem?

One more off-key anthem

Let your teeth sink in

Remember me as I was, not as I am

And I said, "I'll check in tomorrow

If I don't wake up dead"

I kept wishing she had blonde ambition

And she'd let it go to my head

[Pre-Chorus: Patrick Stump]

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey!

If my love is a weapon, there's no second guessing when I say

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey!

If my heart is a grenade, you pull the pin and say

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]

We're all fighting, growing old, we're all fighting, growing old

In the (Hope!) hopes of a few minutes more

To get-get on St. Peter's list

But you need to lower your standards

'Cause it's never getting any better than this

[Refrain: Courtney Love, Patrick Stump]

We are professional ashes of roses, this kerosene's live

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey!

You settled your score, this is where you come to beg

'Cause it's never getting any better than this

Unborn and unshaven, killing fields of fire to a congress of ravens

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey!

This is what we do, baby, we nightmare you

[Verse 2: Patrick Stump]

I'm about to make your sweat roll backwards

And your heart beat in reverse

Our guts can't be reworked

As alone as a little white church in the middle of the desert getting burned

But I'll take your heart served up two ways

I sing a bitter song

I'm the lonelier version of you

I just don't know where it went wrong

[Pre-Chorus: Patrick Stump]

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey!

If my love is a weapon, there's no second-guessing when I say

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey!

If my heart is a grenade, you pull the pin and say

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]

We're all fighting, growing old, we're all fighting, growing old

In the (Hope!) hopes of a few minutes more

To get-get on St. Peter's list

But you need to lower your standards

'Cause it's never getting any better than this

[Post-Chorus: Patrick Stump]

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey

It's never getting any better than this

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey

It's never getting any better than this

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey

It's never getting any better than this

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey

It's never getting any better than this

[Bridge: Courtney Love, Patrick Stump]

She's sick and she's wrong, she's young dirty blonde

And you sink inside her like a suicide bomb

He says, "I've seen bigger," she says, "I've lit better"

And they throw the matches down into the glitter

Not a dry eye left in the house

(Talk less, mean more)

Go boy, go boy, run for your life

(Let's be electric, like we were before)

Go boy, go boy, run for your life

(Talk less, mean more)

Go boy, go boy, run for your life

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]

We're all fighting, growing old, we're all fighting, growing old

In the (hope!) hopes of a few minutes more

To get-get on St. Peter's list

But you need to lower your standards

'Cause it's never getting any better than this

[Post-Chorus: Patrick Stump]

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey

It's never getting any better than this

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey

It's never getting any better than this

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey

It's never getting any better than this

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat, hey

It's never getting any better than this

[Outro: Patrick Stump]

Are you ready for another bad poem?

Save Rock and Roll Lyrics

[Intro: Patrick Stump]

Until your breathing stops, stops, stops

Until your-your-your-your-your

Forever, forever

[Verse 1: Patrick Stump]

I need more dreams and less life

I need that dark in a little more light

I cried tears you'll never see

So fuck you, you can go cry me an ocean, and leave me be

[Pre-Chorus: Patrick Stump]

You are what you love, not who loves you

In a world full of the word 'yes', I'm here to scream

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]

No, no (No, no)

Wherever I go, go (go, go)

Trouble seems to follow

I only plugged in to save rock and roll (Rock and roll)

No, no (No, no), wherever I go, go (Go, go)

Trouble seems to follow

Only plugged in to save rock and roll (Forever, forever)

[Post-Chorus: Patrick Stump]

Until your breathing stops, stops, stops

Until your-your-your-your-your

Forever, forever

[Verse 2: Elton John & Patrick Stump]

Blood brothers in desperation

An oath of silence for the voice of a generation

Whoa! How'd it get to be only me?

Like I'm the last damn kid still kicking that still believes

[Pre-Chorus: Elton John & Patrick Stump]

I will defend the faith going down swinging

I will save the songs, that we can't stop singing

[Chorus: Elton John & Patrick Stump]

No, no (No, no)

Wherever I go, go (Go, go)

Trouble seems to follow

I only plugged in to save rock and roll (Rock and roll)

No, no (No, no), wherever I go, go (Go, go)

Trouble seems to follow

Only plugged in to save rock and roll (Forever, forever)

[Bridge: Elton John & Patrick Stump & Both]

Oh no, we won't go

'Cause we don't know when to quit, oh oh

Oh no, we won't go

'Cause we don't know how to quit, no, no

Oh no, we won't go

(Until your breathing stops, stops, stops)

'Cause we don't know when to quit, oh oh

(Until your breathing stops, stops, stops)

Oh no, we won't go

(Until your-your-your-your-your)

'Cause we don't know how to quit, no, no

(Forever, forever)

[Pre-Chorus: Elton John]

You are what you love, not who loves you

In a world full of the word 'yes', I'm here to scream...

[Chorus: Elton John & Patrick Stump]

No, no (No, no)

Wherever I go, go (Go, go)

Trouble seems to follow

I only plugged in to save rock and roll (Rock and roll)

No, no (No, no), wherever I go, go (Go, go)

Trouble seems to follow

Only plugged in to save rock and roll (Rock and roll)

[Outro: Patrick Stump & Elton John]

Oh no, we won't go

'Cause we don't know when to quit, oh oh

Oh no, we won't go

'Cause we don't know when to quit, oh oh

Oh no, we won't go

(No, no)

'Cause we don't know when to quit, oh oh

(Wherever I go, go)

Oh no, we won't go

(Trouble seems to follow)

'Cause we don't know when to quit, oh oh

(I only plugged in to save rock and roll)

Oh no, we won't go

(No, no)

'Cause we don't know when to quit, oh oh

(Wherever I go, go)

Oh no, we won't go

(Trouble seems to follow)

'Cause we don't know when to quit, oh oh

(Only plugged in to save rock and roll...)
