The Ballad of Mona Lisa Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She paints her fingers with a close precision
He starts to notice empty bottles of gin
And takes a moment to assess the sin she's paid for
A lonely speaker in a conversation
Her words are swimming through his ears again
There's nothing wrong with just a taste of what you paid for
[Pre-Chorus]
Say what you mean, tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign, I wanna believe
[Chorus]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, Mona Lisa
You're guaranteed to run this town
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, Mona Lisa
I'd pay to see you frown
[Verse 2]
He senses something, call it desperation
Another dollar, another day
And if she had the proper words to say, she would tell him
But she'd have nothing left to sell him
[Pre-Chorus]
Say what you mean, tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign, I wanna believe
[Chorus]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, Mona Lisa
You're guaranteed to run this town
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, Mona Lisa
I'd pay to see you frown
[Bridge]
Mona Lisa, wear me out
I'm pleased to please ya
Mona Lisa, wear me out
[Pre-Chorus]
Say what you mean, tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign, I wanna believe
[Chorus]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, Mona Lisa
You're guaranteed to run this town
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, Mona Lisa
I'd pay to see you frown
[Pre-Chorus]
Say what you mean, tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign, I wanna believe
[Outro]
There's nothing wrong with just a taste of what you paid for
Let’s Kill Tonight Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I retreat
Words, wars, and symphonies
Make room! We're taking over here
And you're the galantine
Cold and alone, it suits you well
Won't find me perching here again
[Verse 2]
May your feet serve you well
And the rest be sent to hell
Where they always have belonged
Cold hearts brew colder songs
Fate will play us out
With a song of pure romance
So, stomp your feet and clap your hands
[Chorus]
Let's kill tonight! Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight! Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
[Verse 3]
May your feet serve you well
And the rest be sent to hell
Where they always have belonged
Cold hearts brew colder songs
Fate will play us out
With a song of pure romance
So, stomp your feet and clap your hands
[Chorus]
Let's kill tonight! Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight! Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight! Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight! Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
[Bridge]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...
[Instrumental Outro]
Hurricane Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Are you worth your weight in gold?
Cause you're behind my eyelids when I'm all alone
Hey, stranger, I want you to catch me like a cold
You and God both got the guns, when you shoot, I think I'd duck
[Pre-Chorus]
I led the revolution in my bedroom
And I set all the zippers free
We said, "No more war, no more clothes! Give me peace!
Oh, kiss me!"
[Chorus]
Hey! Hey! We are a hurricane, drop our anchors in a storm
Hey! They will never be the same, a fire in a flask to keep us warm
Cause they know, I know that they don't look like me
Oh, they know, I know that they don't sound like me
[Post-Chorus]
You'll dance to anything! You'll dance to anything!
[Verse 2]
Oh, I'd confess, I'd confess in a room where I’m blessed
But he didn't come and speak to me or put my heart at ease
And I believe that half the time I am a wolf among the sheep
Gnawing at the wool over my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
I led the revolution in my bedroom
And I set all the zippers free
We said, "No more war, no more clothes! Give me peace!
Oh, kiss me!"
[Chorus]
Hey! Hey! We are a hurricane, drop our anchors in a storm
Hey! They will never be the same, a fire in a flask to keep us warm
Cause they know, I know that they don't look like me
Oh, they know, I know that they don't sound like me
[Post-Chorus]
You'll dance to anything! You'll dance to anything!
You'll dance to anything! You'll dance to anything!
[Bridge]
Fix me or conflict me, I'll take anything
Fix me or just conflict me, cause I'll take anything
[Chorus]
Hey! Hey! We are a hurricane, drop our anchors in a storm
Hey! They will never be the same, a fire in a flask to keep us warm
Cause they know, (they know) I know (I know) that they don't look like me
Oh, they know, (they know) I know (I know) that they don't sound like me
[Post-Chorus]
You'll dance to anything! You'll dance to anything!
[Instrumental Outro]
Memories Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He was the congregation's vagrant
With an unrequited love
When your passion's exaltation
Then finding refuge is not enough
She was the youngest of the family
And the last to be let go
When they decided they would try
And make it on their own
[Chorus]
Oh, memories, where'd you go?
You were all I've ever known
How I miss yesterday
And how I let it fade away
Where'd you go?
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
When July became December
Their affection fought the cold
But they couldn't quite remember
What inspired them to go
And it was beautifully depressing
Like A Streetcar Named Desire
They were fighting for their love
That had started growing tired (Tired)
[Chorus]
Oh, memories, where'd you go?
You were all I've ever known
How I miss yesterday
And how I let it fade away
Don't fade away
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
When money lost momentum
And the bills were piling high
Then the smile had finally faded
From the apple of their eye
They were young and independent
And they thought they had it planned
Should've known right from the start
You can't predict the end
[Chorus]
Oh, memories, where'd you go?
You were all I've ever known
How I miss yesterday
And how I let it fade away
Oh, memories, where'd you go? (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
You were all I've ever known (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
How I miss yesterday (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
And how I let it fade away (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Don't fade away
(Ah)
Trade Mistakes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Placing a smile at the perfect event
Gracing your skin with the side of my hand
If I ever leave, I could learn to miss you
But "Sentimental Boy" is my nom de plume
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me save you, hold this rope
[Chorus]
I may never sleep tonight (Never sleep tonight)
As long as you're still burning bright
If I could trade mistakes for sheep
Count me away before you sleep
I'll stay awake 'till I trade my mistakes
Or they fade away
[Verse 2]
I feel marooned in this body
Deserted, my organs can go on without me
You can't fly these wings (Fly these wings)
You can't sleep in this box with me (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me save you, hold this rope
[Chorus]
I may never sleep tonight (Never sleep tonight)
As long as you're still burning bright
If I could trade mistakes for sheep
Count me away before you sleep
I'll stay awake 'till I trade my mistakes
Or they fade away
[Bridge]
Don't let me save you, hold this rope
And I'll pull you in, 'cause I am an anchor
Save her or feel it sinking in
Let me save you, hold this rope
(This is only the greatest story every told)
I am an anchor, sinking her
(With lightning in my head to be brought to the world)
[Chorus]
I may never sleep tonight
As long as you're still burning bright
If I could trade mistakes for sheep
Count me away before you sleep
I'll stay awake 'till I trade my mistakes
Or they fade away
Ready to Go (Get Me Out of My Mind) Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh... Oh...
Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh
Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh
[Verse 1]
You've got these little things that you've been running from
You either love it or I guess you don't
You're such a pretty thing to be running from anyone
A vision with nowhere to go
So tell me right now, ya think you're ready for it?
I wanna know why you got me going
So let's go! We'll take it outta here
I think I'm ready to leap, I'm ready to live
[Chorus]
I'm ready to go
Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh
[Verse 2]
You've got these little things; you wanted something for 'em
You'll either get it or I guess you won't
What does it really mean to get nothing from anyone?
There's a million ways it could go
So tell me right now, ya think you're ready for it?
I wanna know why you got me going
So let's go! We'll take it outta here
I think I'm ready to leap, I'm ready to live
[Chorus]
I'm ready to go
Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh
[Bridge]
I think I'm ready, I think
I know I'm ready, I know
I think I'm ready, I think
I know I'm ready, I know
I think I'm ready, I think
I know I'm ready, I know
I think I'm ready, I think
I know
[Chorus]
I'm ready to go
Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh
I'm ready to go
(I think I'm ready, I think; I know I'm ready, I know)
Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind
I'm ready to go
(I think I'm ready, I think; I know I'm ready, I know)
Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh
I'm ready to go
(I think I'm ready, I think; I know I'm ready, I know)
Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind
I'm ready to go
(I think I'm ready, I think; I know I'm ready, I know)
Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh
[Spoken Outro]
A pocket full of fancy words, a pocket full of fancy words...
Always Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When the world gets too heavy
Put it on my back, I'll be your levee
You are taking me apart
Like bad glue on a get well card
[Chorus]
It was always you falling for me
Now there's always time calling for me
I'm the light blinking at the end of the road
Blink back to let me know
[Verse 2]
I'm a fly that's trapped in a web
But I'm thinking that my spider's dead
Lonely, lonely little life
I could kid myself in thinking that I'm fine
[Chorus]
It was always you falling for me
Now there's always time calling for me
I'm the light blinking at the end of the road
Blink back to let me know
[Bridge]
That I'm skin and bone
Just a cane and a rusty throne
Oh, the castle's under siege
But the sign outside says, "Leave me alone"
[Chorus]
It was always you falling for me
Now there's always time calling for me
I'm the light blinking at the end of the road
Blink back to let me know
[Outro]
It was always you
Blink back to let me know
It was always you...
The Calendar Lyrics
[Intro]
Only for you, only for you
[Verse 1]
They said, "If you don't let it out, you're gonna let it eat you away"
I'd rather be a cannibal, baby, animals like me don't talk anyway
Feel like an ambulance, chaser of faith
Pray I could replace her, forget the way her tears taste
Oh, the way her tears taste
[Chorus]
Put another X on the calendar, summer's on its deathbed
There is simply nothing worse than knowing how it ends
And I meant everything I said that night
I will come back to life
But only for you, only for you
[Verse 2]
The world may call it a second chance
But when I came back it was more of a relapse
Anticipation's on the other line
And obsession called while you were out
Yeah, it called while you were out
[Chorus]
Put another ex on the calendar, summer's on its deathbed
There is simply nothing worse than knowing how it ends
And I meant everything I said that night
I will come back to life
But only for you, only for you
[Bridge]
Asleep in the hive, I guess all the buzzing got to me
Well, I'm still alive, at night your body is a symphony
And I am conducting...
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Pre-Chorus]
They said, "If you don't let it out, you're gonna let it eat you away"
[Chorus]
Put another ex on the calendar, summer's on its deathbed
There is simply nothing worse than knowing how it ends
And I meant everything I said that night
I will come back to life
But only for you, only for you
[Post-Chorus]
Only for you, only for you, yeah!
Only for you, only for you, only for you, only for you, yeah!
[Instrumental Outro]
Sarah Smiles Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was fine, just a guy living on my own
Waiting for the sky to fall
Then you called and changed it all, doll
Velvet lips and the eyes to pull me in
We both know you'd already win
Mmm, your original sin
[Pre-Chorus]
You fooled me once with your eyes now, honey
You fooled me twice with your lies, and I say
[Chorus]
Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care
She lives in her world so unaware
Does she know that my destiny lies with her
Sarah (Sarah, Sarah, Sarah)
Oh Sarah (Sarah), are you saving me?
[Verse 2]
Waking up to a kiss and you're on your way
I really hoped that you would stay
But you left and went your own way, babe
I don't mind, take your time, I got things to do
Besides sit around and wait for you
Oh, and I hope you do too
[Pre-Chorus]
You fooled me once with your eyes now, honey
You fooled me twice with your lies, and I say
[Chorus]
Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care
She lives in her world so unaware
Does she know that my destiny lies with her
Sarah
Oh Sarah, are you saving me?
[Bridge]
And it's killing me inside
Consuming all my time, you've left me blind
And when I think I'm right, you strip away my pride
You cast it all aside but I say
[Chorus]
Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care
She lives in her world so unaware
Does she know that my destiny lies with her
Sarah (Sarah)
Oh Sarah (Sarah), are you saving me?
Nearly Witches (Ever Since We Met…) Lyrics
[Verse 1: Brendon Urie]
Here I am composing a burlesque out of where they rest their
Necks, sunken in their splintered cradles
And ramshackle heads, they asked for it
As a boy
[Pre-Chorus: Brendon Urie]
I eat my wishes on golden toothpicks and digested them with
Wolf intestines
[Chorus: Brendon Urie]
I fell from the heavens as a fetish blessed with
An operatic skeleton
And as the stars watch me descend, I crack a family tree and
Chopped off all of the branches
I fell from the heavens as a fetish blessed with
An operatic skeleton
And as the stars watch me descend, I crack a family tree and
Chopped off all of the branches
Get familiar!
Stall Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fall to your knees and kiss the ring
The crowds rejoice in
All of my dreams
Wake up to despise a world I once loved
Why would you bring me in
If you knew what you'd become?
So curse everyone and everything
Even the sun
[Chorus]
Stall me, stall me, I'm all in
Stall me, call me up or break me in
A dark room in the wallflower garden of the party
She's got four on the floor, she's waiting to kickstart me
So just stall me
[Verse 2]
I had a rosy dream
You gave up on you and I gave up on me
Well, love came along and said
"Leave them be" (Ah-oh-oh-oh...)
We were wrecked on every rock, you tasted
Like cork, my pretty little angel
I'm singing to empty bottles everywhere
Everywhere
[Chorus]
Stall me, stall me, I'm all in
Stall me, call me up or break me in
A dark room in the wallflower garden of the party
She's got four on the floor, she's waiting to kickstart me
So just stall me!
[Bridge]
She counts on stars, astrology
My moods are mercurial, but I'm no mercury
Don't hold your breath
Baptized in the river of you
Hold on death
The moon's just a sliver of you
[Chorus]
Stall me, stall me, I'm all in
Stall me, call me up or break me in
A dark room in the wallflower garden of the party
Stall me, stall me, I'm all in
Stall me, call me up or break me in
A dark room in the wallflower garden of the party
She's got four on the floor, she's waiting to kickstart me
She says she's got more
Where that came from to spark me
So just stall me! Whoo!
Oh Glory (demo) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can only hope it's true enough
That every little thing I do for love
Redeems me from the moments
I’ve deemed worthy of the worst things that I've done
And saves me from myself in times of envy
When I'm missing everyone
[Pre-Chorus]
If I wake in the morning
I only need two more miracles to be a saint
Everything I promised everyone I'd be
Well, I just ain't
[Chorus]
Lately, it seems like everybody's sick
Everybody's dying (Everybody’s dying)
Build myself a wall of unhappy highs
And only my heart knows my head is lying, lying
Oh, glory, I think I see you 'round the bend
And I think I'd try any poison to get there in the end
Oh, glory! (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
[Verse 2]
When I'm looking past the silken sheets
Take a breath to notice I'm between
Every little piece of threaded memories
That constitutes your dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
If I wake in the morning
I only need two more miracles to be a saint
Everything I promised everyone I'd be
Well, I just ain't
[Chorus]
Lately, it seems like everybody's sick
Everybody's dying
Build myself a wall of unhappy highs
And only my heart knows my head is lying, lying
Oh, glory, I think I see you 'round the bend
And I think I'd try any poison to get there in the end
Oh, glory! (Whoo!)
[Bridge]
Oh, glory, I think I see you 'round the bend
And I think I'd try any poison to get there in the end
Oh, glory, I think I see you 'round the bend
And I think I'd try any poison to get there in the end
[Chorus]
Lately, it seems like everybody's sick
Everybody's dying (Everybody’s dying)
Build myself a wall of unhappy highs
And only my heart knows my head is lying, lying
Oh, glory, I think I see you 'round the bend
And I think I'd try any poison to get there in the end (Oh glory)
Oh, glory, I think I see you 'round the bend
And I think I'd try any poison to get there in the end
Oh, glory! Oh, glory! Oh, glory!
