Helena (So long & Goodnight) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Long ago, just like the Hearse you die to get in again

We are so far from you

Burning on, just like a match you strike to incinerate

The lives of everyone you know

[Pre-Chorus]

And what's the worst to take (Worst to take)

From every heart you break? (Heart you break)

And like the blade you stain (Blade you stain)

Well, I've been holding on tonight

[Chorus]

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So love your good night

[Verse 2]

Came a time when every star fall brought you to tears again

We are the very hurt you sold

[Pre-Chorus]

And what's the worst you take (Worst you take)

From every heart you break? (Heart you break)

And like the blade you stain (Blade you stain)

Well, I've been holding on tonight

[Chorus]

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long, and goodnight

Well, if you carry on this way

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So love your good night

[Bridge]

Can you hear me?

Are you near me?

Can we pretend to leave, and then

We'll meet again

When both our cars collide?

[Chorus]

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long, and goodnight

Well, if you carry on this way

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So love your good night

Give ’em Hell, Kid Lyrics

[Intro]

Oh, baby, here comes the sound

[Verse 1]

Took a train outta New Orleans

And they shot me full of ephedrine

This is how we like to do it in the murder scene

Can we settle up the score?

[Chorus]

If you were here, I'd never have a fear

So go on, live your life

But I miss you more than I did yesterday

[Post-Chorus]

(You're beautiful)

[Verse 2]

Well, I'm a total wreck, and almost every day

Like the firing squad or the mess you made

Well, don't I look pretty walking down the street

In the best damn dress I own?

[Chorus]

If you were here, I'd never have a fear

So go on, live your life

But I miss you more than I did yesterday

You're so far away

So c'mon, show me how

'Cause I mean this more than words could ever say

[Bridge]

Some might say we are made from the sharpest things you say

We are young and we don't care (Woah-oh)

Your dreams and your hopeless hair (Woah-oh)

We never wanted it to be this way for all our lives

Do you care at all?

[Chorus]

If you were here, I'd never have a fear

So go on, live your life

But I miss you more than I did yesterday

You're so far away

So c'mon, show me how

'Cause I mean this more than words could ever say

[Outro]

What'd you call me?

Well, there's no way I'm kissing that guy

Well, come on, come on, come on, come on

Yeah

To the End Lyrics

[Intro]

He calls the mansion not a house, but a tomb

He's always chokin' from the stench and the fume

The weddin' party all collapsed in the room

So send my resignation to the bride and the groom

(Let's go down)

[Verse 1]

This elevator only goes up to ten

He's not around, he's always looking at men (Oh-oh-oh)

Down by the pool, he doesn't have many friends

As (Oh-oh) they are face-down and bloated

Snap a shot with the lens

[Pre-Chorus]

If you marry me, would you bury me?

Would you carry me to the end?

[Chorus]

(Say goodbye) To the vows you take

(Say goodbye) To the life you make

(And say goodbye) To the hearts you break

And all the cyanide you drank

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-woah-oh

[Verse 2]

She keeps a picture of the body she lends

Got nasty blisters from the money she spends

She's got a life of her own and it shows by the Benz

She drives at ninety by the Barbies and Kens

If you ever say never too late

I'll forget all the diamonds you ate (Oh-oh-oh)

Lost in coma and covered in cake (Oh-oh)

Increase the medication, share the vows at the wake

(Kiss the bride)

[Pre-Chorus]

If you marry me, would you bury me?

Would you carry me to the end?

[Chorus]

(Say goodbye) To the vows you take

(Say goodbye) To the life you make

(And say goodbye) To the hearts you break

And all the cyanide you drank

(And say goodbye) To the last parade

(And walk away) From the choice you made

(And say goodnight) To the hearts you break

And all the cyanide you drank

[Bridge]

Oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-oh

[Chorus]

(Say goodbye) To the vows you take

(Say goodbye) To the life you make

(And say goodbye) To the hearts you break

And all the cyanide you drank

(And say goodbye) To the last parade

(And walk away) From the choice you made

(Say goodnight) To the hearts you break

And all the cyanide you drank

[Outro]

(Woah-oh) To the last parade

(Woah-oh) When the parties fade

(Woah-oh) And the choice you made

To the end

You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison Lyrics

[Intro: Gerard Way]

In the middle of a gunfight

In the center of a restaurant

They say, "Come with your arms raised high"

[Verse 1: Gerard Way]

Well, they're never gonna get me

Like a bullet through a flock of doves

To wage this war against your faith in me

Your life will never be the same

On your mother's eyes, say a prayer

Say a prayer, yeah

[Chorus: Gerard Way]

Now, but I can't, and I don't know

How we're just two men as God had made us

Well, I can't, well, I can, yeah

Too much, too late, or just not enough of this

Pain in my heart for your dying wish

I'll kiss your lips again

[Verse 2: Gerard Way & Bert McCracken]

They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost

My cellmate's a killer, they make me do push-ups in drag

But nobody cares if you're losing yourself

Am I losing myself?

Well, I miss my mom

Will they give me the chair?

Or lethal injection, or swing from a rope if you dare?

Ah, nobody knows

All the trouble I've seen

[Chorus: Gerard Way]

Now, but I can't, and I don't know

How we're just two men as God had made us

Well, I can't, well, I can, yeah

Too much, too late, or just not enough of this

Pain in my heart for your dying wish

I'll kiss your lips again

[Bridge: Gerard Way]

To your room

What they ask of you will make you want to say, "So long"

Well, I don't remember

Why remember you?

[Interlude: Bert McCracken]

Do you have the keys to the hotel?

'Cause I'm gonna string this motherfucker on fire

Fire

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro: Gerard Way]

Life is but a dream for the dead

And well I, I won't go down by myself

But I'll go down with my friends, yeah

Now, now, now, now (I can't explain)

Now, now, now, (I can't complain)

Now, now, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, haha

I’m Not Okay (I Promise) Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Well, if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say

I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way

[Pre-Chorus]

For all the dirty looks

The photographs your boyfriend took

Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?

[Chorus]

I'm not okay, I'm not okay, hey hey, hey

I'm not okay, hey, hey

You wear me out

[Verse 2]

What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems? (I'm not okay)

I've told you time and time again

You sing the words, but don't know what it means (I'm not okay)

[Pre-Chorus]

To be a joke and, look, another line without a hook

I held you close as we both shook

For the last time, take a good hard look

[Chorus]

I'm not okay, I'm not okay, hey, hey, hey

I'm not okay, hey, hey

You wear me out

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

Forget about the dirty looks

The photographs your boyfriend took

You said you read me like a book

But the pages all are torn and frayed now

[Bridge]

But I'm okay, I'm okay

I'm okay now, (I'm okay now), but you really need to listen to me

Because I'm telling you the truth

I mean this, I'm okay

Trust me

[Chorus]

I'm not okay, I'm not okay

Well, I'm not okay, I'm not o-fucking-kay

I'm not okay, hey, hey, I'm not okay, —kay

The Ghost of You Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I never said I'd lie in wait forever

If I died, we'd be together, now

I can't always just forget her

But she could try

[Chorus]

At the end of the world or the last thing I see

You are never coming home, never coming home

Could I? Should I?

And all the things that you never ever told me

And all the smiles that are ever, ever

[Verse 2]

Ever get the feeling that you're never all alone?

And I remember now

At the top of my lungs in my arms, she dies, she dies

[Chorus]

At the end of the world or the last thing I see

You are never coming home, never coming home

Could I? Should I?

And all the things that you never ever told me

And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me

Never coming home, never coming home

Could I? Should I?

And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me

For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me

[Bridge]

If I fall

If I fall down

Woah, woah, woah, woah

[Chorus]

At the end of the world or the last thing I see

You are never coming home, never coming home

Never coming home, never coming home

And all the things that you never ever told me

And all the smiles that are ever going to haunt me

Never coming home, never coming home

Could I? Should I?

And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me

For all the ghosts that are never gonna...

The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Gerard Way]

Gaze into her killing jar

I'd sometimes stare for hours

(Sometimes stare for hours)

She even poked the holes so I can breathe

She bought the last line, I'm just the worst kind

Of guy to argue with what you might find

And for the last night I lie

Could I lie with you?

[Chorus: Gerard Way]

Alright, give up, get down

It's just the hardest part of living

Alright, she wants it all

To come down this time

[Verse 2: Gerard Way]

I'm lost in the prescription

She's got something else in mind

(Something else in mind)

Check into the Hotel Bella Muerte

It gives the weak flight, it gives the blind sight

Until the cops come or by the last light

And for the last night I lie

Could I lie next to you?

[Chorus: Gerard Way]

Alright, give up, get down

It's just the hardest part of living

Alright, she wants it all

To come down this time

Alright, give up, get down

It's just the hardest part of living

Alright, she wants it all

To come down this time

[Bridge: Gerard Way]

Pull the plug

But I'd like to learn your name

When holding on

I hope you do the same, oh, sugar

Slip into the tragedy

You've spun this chamber dry

[Chorus: Gerard Way]

Alright, give up, get down

It's just the hardest part of living

Alright, she wants it all

To come down this time

Alright, give up, get down

It's just the hardest part of living

Alright, she wants it all

To come down this time

[Outro: Gerard Way]

Pull the plug

But I'd like to learn your name

And holding on

Well, I hope you do the same, oh, sugar

Interlude Lyrics

[Verse]

Saints protect her now

Come, angels of the lord

Come, angels of unknown

Thank You for the Venom Lyrics

[Verse 1: Gerard Way]

Sister, I'm not much a poet, but a criminal

And you never had a chance

Love it or leave it, you can't understand

A pretty face, but you do so carry on

And on, and on

I wouldn't front the scene if you paid me

I'm just the way that the doctor made me

On, and on, and on, and on

Love is the red, the rose on your coffin door

What's life like bleeding on the floor, the floor, the floor?

[Pre-Chorus: Gerard Way]

You'll never make me leave

I wear this on my sleeve

Give me a reason to believe

[Chorus: Gerard Way]

So give me all your poison

And give me all your pills

And give me all your hopeless hearts

And make me ill

You're running after something that you'll never kill

If this is what you want, then fire at will

[Verse 2: Gerard Way]

Preach all you want, but who's gonna save me?

I keep a gun on the book you gave me

Hallelujah, lock and load

Black is the kiss, the touch of a serpent son

It ain't the mark or the scar that makes you one

And one, and one, and one

[Pre-Chorus: Gerard Way]

You'll never make me leave

I wear this on my sleeve

Give me a reason to believe

[Chorus: Gerard Way]

So give me all your poison

And give me all your pills

And give me all your hopeless hearts

And make me ill

You're running after something that you'll never kill

If this is what you want, then fire at will

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus: Gerard Way]

You'll never make me leave

I wear this on my sleeve

You wanna follow somethin'?

Give me a better cause to lead

Just give me what I need

Give me a reason to believe

[Chorus: Gerard Way]

So give me all your poison

And give me all your pills

And give me all your hopeless hearts

And make me ill

You're running after something that you'll never kill

If this is what you want, then fire at will

So give me all your poison (Fire at will)

And give me all your pills

And give me all your hopeless hearts (Fire at will)

And make me ill

You're running after something that you'll never kill (Fire at will)

If this is what you want, then fire at will (Fire at will)

[Outro: Gerard Way]

(Rah!)

Hang ’em High Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Wait until it fades to black, ride into the sunset

Would I lie to you? Well, I’ve got something to say

Grab your six-gun from your back, throttle the ignition

Would I die for you? Well, here's your answer in spades

Shotgun sinners, wild-eyed jokers, got you in my sights

Gun it while I’m holding on

[Verse 2]

After all is said and done, climb out from the pine box

Well, I’m asking you, 'cause she's got nothing to say

The angels just cut out her tongue, call her black Mariah

Would I lie to you? That girl's not right in the brain

Mass convulsions strike the choir by the grace of God

Gun it while I’m holding on

[Chorus]

But don't stop if I fall, and don't look back

Oh, baby, don't stop, bury me, and fade to black

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

She won't stop me, put it down

So get your gun and meet me by the door

She won't stop me, put it down

So get your gun and meet me by the door (Whoa!)

She won't stop me, put it down (Yeah!)

She won't stop me, put it down (Let's go!)

She won't stop me, put it down

So get your gun and meet me by the door (Whoa!)

She won't stop me, put it down (Yeah!)

She won't stop me, put it down (Whoa!)

She won't stop me, put it down

So baby

[Chorus]

Don't stop if I fall, and don't look back

Oh, baby, don't stop, bury me, and fade to black

But don't stop if I fall, and don't look back

Oh, baby, don't stop, bury me, and fade to black

[Outro]

Don't stop! Well, don't stop! Don't stop!

It’s Not a Fashion Statement It’s a Deathwish Lyrics

[Intro]

For what you did to me and what I'll do to you

You get what everyone else gets, you get a lifetime (Go)

(Let's go!)

[Verse 1]

Do you remember that day when we met?

You told me "This gets harder," well, it did

Been holdin' on forever

Promise me that when I've gone, you'll kill my enemies

[Chorus]

The damage you've inflicted, temporary wounds

I'm comin' back from the dead

And I'll take you home with me

I'm taking back a life you stole

[Post-Chorus]

We never got that far

This helps me to think all through the night

(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh) Bright lights that won't kill me now or tell me how

Just you and I, your starless eyes remain

[Verse 2]

Hip-hip-hooray for me, you talk to me

But would you kill me in my sleep? Lay still like the dead

From the razor to the rosary, we could lose ourselves

And paint these walls in pitchfork red

[Chorus]

I will avenge my ghost with every breath I take

I'm comin' back (I'm comin' back from the dead) from the dead (I'm comin' back)

And I'll take you home with me

I'm takin' back a life you stole

[Bridge]

This hole you put me in wasn't deep enough

And I'm climbin' out right now

You're running out of places to hide from me

[Outro]

When you go, just know that I will remember you

If livin' was the hardest part, we'll then one day be together

And in the end, we'll fall apart

Just like the leaves changin' colors

And then I will be with you

I will be there one last time now

When you go, just know that I will remember you

I've lost my fear of falling

I will be with you, I will be with you

Cemetery Drive Lyrics

[“Cemetery Drive”] is… Read More [Verse 1]

This night, walk the dead

In a solitary style and crash the cemetery gates

In the dress your husband hates

Way down, mark the grave

Where the searchlights find us drinking by the mausoleum door

And they found you on the bathroom floor

[Chorus]

I miss you, I miss you, so far

And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard

[Verse 2]

Back home, off the run

Singing songs that make you slit your wrists

It isn't that much fun staring down a loaded gun

So I won't stop dying, won't stop lying

If you want, I'll keep on crying

Did you get what you deserve?

Is this what you always want me for?

[Chorus]

I miss you, I miss you, so far

And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard

[Post-Chorus]

Way down, way down, way down, way down

[Chorus]

I miss you, I miss you, so far

And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard

When will I miss you? When will I miss you so far?

And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard

Made it so hard

[Post-Chorus]

Way down, way down, way down, way down

Way down, way down, way down, way down, way down

I Never Told You What I Do for a Living Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Stay out of the light or the photograph that I gave you

You can say a prayer if you need to

Or just get in line and I'll grieve you

Can I meet you alone?

Another night and I'll see you

Another night and I'll be you

Some other way to continue

To hide my face

[Pre-Chorus]

Another knife in my hands, a stain that never comes off the sheets

Clean me off, I'm so dirty, babe

The kind of dirty where the water never cleans off the clothes

I keep a book of the names and those

[Chorus]

Only go so far 'til you bury them

So deep and down, we go

[Verse 2]

Touched by angels, though

I fall out of grace

I did it all, so maybe

I'd live this every day

[Pre-Chorus]

Another knife in my hands, a stain that never comes off the sheets

Clean me off, I'm so dirty, babe

It ain't the money and it sure as hell ain't just for the fame

It's for the bodies I claim and those

[Chorus]

Only go so far 'til you bury them

So deep and down, we go

[Bridge]

Down, and down we go, and down we go, and down we go

And we all fall down! I tried! I tried!

And we'll all dance along to the tune of your death

We'll love again, we'll laugh again, and it's better off this way

And never again, and never again, they gave us two shots

To the back of the head and we're all dead now

And never again, and never again, they gave us two shots

To the back of the head and we're all dead now

[Outro]

I tried! One more night, one more night!

Well, I'm laughing out, crying out, laugh out loud!

I tried, well, I tried, well, I tried, 'cause I tried, but I lied, I lied!

I tried, I tried, I tried, well...

And we'll love again, we'll laugh again

We'll cry again, and we'll dance again

And it's better off this way, so much better off this way

I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed!

And never again and never again, they gave us two shots

To the back of the head and we're all dead now...
