Making a Fire Lyrics
[Refrain]
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
[Verse 1]
I've been waitinâ, elevatin'
Hangin' on the line
Hate to say it, yourâ
newâ
favoriteâs
Goin' out ofâ
style
Threw away those broken heroes
They're justâ
wood and wires
Hallelujah, spread the news, but
Don't believe the hype
Alright
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you afraid of the dark?
I know a place we can start
[Chorus]
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 makin' a fire
[Refrain]
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
[Verse 2]
I was begginâ when I said Iâd
Never tell a lie
Luck be damned, I took a stand and
Finally hit my stride
Bye-bye
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you afraid of the dark?
I know a place we can start
[Chorus]
But if this is the last time
Make up your mind
I've waited a lifetime to live
Itâs time to ignite, I'm makin' a fire
[Refrain]
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you afraid of the dark?
I know a place we can start
Yeah
[Refrain]
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
[Chorus]
So if this is the last time
Make up your mind
I've waited a lifetime to live
Itâs 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 makin' a fire
[Refrain]
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na

Cloudspotter Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
Standin' 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 (cloudspotter)
Cloudspotter (cloudspotter)
Burn me right down like a house on fire
Cloudspotter, cloudspotter
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Callin' on someone else's dime
Put your two cents where the sun don't shine
[Chorus]
Swing, swing, guillotine queen
Swingin' from the left to the right
Bang! Bang! Bang! You're so mean
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
[Verse 2]
Head ringin' in the dead of night
Just a pair of lovesick parasites
Put me on hold, hold on tight
Everything's wrong when you've got no right
Cloudspotter (cloudspotter)
Cloudspotter (cloudspotter)
Everything's wrong when you've got no right
Cloudspotter, cloudspotter
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I need to know, but I don't ask why
Refuse me while I kiss the sky
[Chorus]
Swing, swing, guillotine queen
Swingin' from the left to the right
Bang! Bang! Bang! You're so mean
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
Cloudspotter!
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I need to know, but I don't ask why
Refuse me while I kiss the sky!
[Chorus]
Swing, swing, guillotine queen
Swingin' from the left to the right
Bang! Bang! Bang! You're so mean
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
Cloudspotter!
Waiting on a War Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been waitin' on a war since I was young
Since I was a little boyâ
withâ
a toy gun
Neverâ
really wanted to be number one
Justâ
wanted to love everyone
[Pre-Chorus]
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, more to this
More to this than
[Chorus]
Just waitin' on a war?
Just waitin' on a war?
[Verse 2]
Every day waitin' 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
[Pre-Chorus]
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, more to this
More to this than
[Chorus]
Just waitin' on a war?
Just waitin' on a war?
[Post-Chorus]
Just waitin' on a war for this and that
There's got to be more to this than that
Just waitin' on a war for this and that
There's got to be more to this than that
[Interlude]
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 3]
I've been waitin' on a war since I was young
Since I was a little boy with a toy gun
[Pre-Chorus]
Is there more to this, more to this
More to this than
[Chorus]
Just waitin' on a war?
Just waitin' on a war?
[Post-Chorus]
Just waitin' on a war for this and that
There's got to be more to this than that
Just waitin' on a war for this and that
There's got to be more to this than that
Just waitin' on a war for this and that
There's got to be more to this than that
Just waitin' on a war for this and that
There's got to be more to this than that
[Outro]
'Cause I need more
Yeah, I need more
Just waitin' on a war
Just waitin' on a war
Yeah, I need more (For this and that)
(There's got to be more to this than that)
(Just waitin' on a war) Yeah, I need more (For this and that)
(There's got to be more to this than that)
Just waitin' on a war
Medicine at Midnight Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Say a prayer and close the light, thumb upon the scale
The pillow is cold, andâ
thatâ
ship has sailed
Timeâ
has run the river dry, dryâ
as a twisted trail
Into the bone, I'm into it
[Pre-Chorus]
Ever getâtheâfeelin'ânothin' else willâdo?
I could hearâyou singin', pink turned to blue
Was it your graffiti? Did you write your name?
On the dirty ceilin', I can't explain
[Chorus]
I need medicine at midnight, but it ain't no cure
Medicine at midnight callin', but it ain't no cure
I may be sick, but you know
I'm yours
[Verse 2]
I remember dancin' hard under the dead moon
Howlin' with you, howlin'!
[Pre-Chorus]
Ever get the feelin' nothin' else will do?
I could hear you singin', I can't explain
[Chorus]
I need medicine at midnight, but it ain't no cure
Medicine at midnight, howlin', but it ain't no cure
I may be sick, but you know
I'm yours
[Bridge]
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
[Chorus]
Medicine at midnight, but it ain't no cure
Medicine at midnight, howlin', but it ain't no cure
I may be sick, but you know
I'm yours
[Outro]
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
No Son of Mine Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Here we are, the livin' dead
Hand to God with one foot in the grave
Age of lost innocence
Donât forget what your good book says
[Chorus]
No son of mine, no son of mine
No son of mine, no son of mine
[Verse 3]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Here we are, the livin' dead
Hand to God with one foot in the grave
Age of lost innocence
Don't forget what your good book says
[Chorus]
No son of mine, no son of mine
No son of mine, no son of mine, woah
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
No son of mine will ever say
Words of illusion, oh, this I pray
Heretofore takinâ my name in vain
No son of mine, no son of mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Here we are, the livin' dead
Hand to God with one foot in the grave
Age of lost innocence
Don't forget what your good book says
[Chorus]
No son of mine, no son of mine
No son of mine, no son of mine
No son of mine, no son of mine
No son of mine, no son of mine, woah
Holding Poison Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got this thing and I've been takin' it out on you
Takin' it out on you
Poor you
Like a machine that's always breakin' down on you
Breaking down on you
So true
[Pre-Chorus]
I spin around, around, around
Spin around, around, around
Spin around, around (And then)
Out of the blue
[Chorus]
Holdin' the poison down
Holdin' the poison down
Something to drown you out
I'm holdin' 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
Holdin' the poison down
Holdin' the poison down
[Verse 2]
I get the feelin' there ain't nothing that I can do
Nothing'll 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
[Pre-Chorus]
I spin around, around, around
Spin around, around, around
Spin around, around (And then)
Out of the blue
[Chorus]
Holdin' the poison down
Holdin' the poison down
Something to drown you out
I'm holdin' thĐ” poison down
You know I want what I want, I get what I get
You know what I mean? I mДant what I said
Holdin' the poison down
Holdin' the poison down
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Stand around, around, around
Stand around, around, around
Stand around, around (And then)
Out of the blue
[Chorus]
Holdin' the poison down
Holdin' the poison down
Something to drown you out
I'm holdin' 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
Holdin' the poison down
Holdin' the poison down
Chasing Birds Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Chasing birds to get high
My head is in the clouds
Chasing birds to get by
I'm never comin' down
My heart is six feet underground
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Chasing birds through the sky
And deep into the black
Chasing birds, say goodbye
I'm never comin' back
Here comes another heart attack
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
Chasing birds to get high
I'm never comin' down
My heart is six feet underground
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Chasing birds
Chasing birds
Chasing birds
Chasing birds
Chasing birds
Chasing birds
Love Dies Young Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Love dies young, and there's no resuscitation
Once it's done, no regeneration
It's a losin' game that'llâ
makeâ
you play
Your handâ
against your chest, love dies young
[Verse 2]
Loveâ
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
[Chorus]
Love dies young, oh-oh
Love dies young, oh-woah
Please don't take my breath, don't take my breath away
Love dies young
[Verse 3]
Love's so dumb, so what's the fascination?
Leaves you numb with a nasty reputation
When you lose your head and lights go out
You'll never be the same
[Chorus]
Love dies young, oh-oh
Love dies young, oh-woah
Please don't take my breath, don't take my breath away
Love dies young
[Bridge]
Never-ending cemeteries, funeral parades
All your dreams are buried in their place
[Chorus]
Love dies young, oh-oh
Please don't take my breath, don't take my breath away
Love dies young
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Love dies young, oh-oh
Love dies young, oh-woah
Please don't take my breath, don't take my breath away
Love dies young
Love dies young
[Outro]
Love dies young
Love dies young
Love dies young, love dies young
Love dies young, love dies young
Love dies young
