(Fuck a) Silver Lining Lyrics
[Intro]
Ode to the old, and to the new
We rededicate this song to you
[Chorus]
Fuck a silver lining
Fuck a silver lining
'Cause only gold is hot enough, hot enough
Fuck a silver lining
Fuck a silver lining
'Cause only gold is hot enough, hot enough
One more, one more
[Verse 1]
It's just cherries, cherries
Everything is cherries on top
No wings of wax or endless mountains
Tragedies with penniless fountains
It's just cherries, cherries
It's coming up cherries on top
Sunset shadows through the trophies
I guess it just ain't big enough
Say it one more, one more, one more
[Chorus]
Fuck a silver lining
Fuck a silver lining
'Cause only gold is hot enough, hot enough
Fuck a silver lining
Fuck a silver lining
'Cause only gold is hot enough, hot enough
[Post-Chorus]
It's just cherries, cherries
Everything is cherries on top
It's just cherries, cherries
Everything is cherries on top
One more, one more
[Verse 2]
We've been falling, falling
It's like we fell to the top
I was born to cut a million
Cut my teeth and made a killing
Now I'm dodging, dodging
Everything you think that I'm not
Archetype of television
Was lost in thought but held the vision, hey
[Bridge]
When you gonna say my name?
When you gonna say my name?
Quick charade, Beyoncé, Lemonade
When you gonna say my name?
When you gonna say my name?
No delay, no halfway, let me hear you say
One more, one more, one more
[Chorus]
Silver lining
Fuck a silver lining
'Cause only gold is hot enough, hot enough
Fuck a silver lining
Fuck a silver lining
'Cause only gold is hot enough, hot enough
[Post-Chorus]
It's just cherries, cherries
Everything is cherries on top
It's just cherries, cherries
Everything is cherries on top
[Outro]
Silver lining
Fuck a silver lining
'Cause only gold is hot enough, hot enough
Say Amen (Saturday Night) Lyrics
[Intro]
Cold open
[Chopped Vocals]
[Verse 1]
Been trav'lin' in packs that I can't carry anymore
Been waitin' for somebody else to carry me
There's nothin' that's there for me at my door
All the people I know aren't who they used to be
And if I try to change my life one more day
There would be nobody else to save
And I can't change into a person I don't wanna be, so
Oh, it's Saturday night, yeah
[Chorus]
I pray for the wicked on the weekend
Mama, can I get another amen?
Oh, oh, it's Saturday night, yeah
Swear to God, I ain't ever gonna repent
Mama, can I get another amen?
Oh, oh, it's Saturday night, yeah
[Chopped Interlude]
[Verse 2]
And every mornin' when I wake up
I wanna be who I couldn't say I'd ever been
But it's so much more than I ever was
If every night I go to sleep knowin'
That I gave everything that I, I had to give
Then it's all I could've asked for
I've been standing up beside everything I've ever said, but
Oh, it's Saturday night, yeah
[Chorus]
I pray for the wicked on the weekend
Mama, can I get another amen?
Oh, oh, it's Saturday night, yeah
Swear to God, I ain't ever gonna repent
Mama, can I get another amen?
Oh, oh, it's Saturday night, yeah
[Bridge]
If I had one more day to wish
If I had one more day
To be better than I could have ever been
If I had one more day to wish
If I had one more day
I could be better, but, baby
Oh, it's Saturday night, yeah
[Chorus]
I pray for the wicked on the weekend
Mama, can I get another amen?
Oh, oh, it's Saturday night, yeah
Swear to God, I ain't ever gonna repent
Mama, can I get another amen?
Oh, oh, it's Saturday night, yeah
[Outro]
It's Saturday, Saturday, it's Saturday
Oh, oh, it's Saturday night, yeah
Swear to God, swear to God, swear to God
Oh, oh, it's Saturday night, yeah
Hey Look Ma, I Made It Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All my life, been hustlin' and
Tonight is my appraisal
'Cause I'm a hooker sellin' songs and
My pimp's a record label
This world is full of demons stocks
And bonds and bible traders
So I do the deed, get up and leave
A climber and a sadist, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you ready for the sequel?
Ain't ready for the latest
In the garden of evil
I'm gonna be the greatest
In a golden cathedral
I'll be praying for the faithless
And if you lose, boo-hoo
[Chorus]
Hey look, ma, I made it
Hey look, ma, I made it
Everything's comin' up aces, aces
If it's a dream, don't wake me, don't wake me
I said, "Hey look, ma, I made it"
[Verse 2]
Friends are happy for me or
They're honeysuckle phonies
Then they celebrate my medals or
They wanna take my trophies
Some are loyal soldiers while
These other thorns are rosy
And if you never know who you can trust
Then trust me, you'll be lonely, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you ready for the sequel?
Ain't ready for the latest
In the garden of evil
I'm gonna be the greatest
In a golden cathedral
I'll be praying for the faithless
And if you lose, boo-hoo
[Chorus]
Hey look, ma, I made it
Hey look, ma, I made it
Everything's comin' up aces, aces
If it's a dream, don't wake me, don't wake me
I said, "Hey look, ma, I made it, I made it"
I said, "Hey look, ma, I made it, I made it"
I see it, I want it, I take it, take it
If it's a dream, don't wake me, don't wake me
[Outro]
I said, "Hey look, ma, I made it"
(Mama best believe it)
(Mama best believe it)
Hey look, ma, I made it
(Think I must be dreamin')
(Wide awake and dreamin')
Hey look, ma, I made it
(Mama best believe it)
(Mama best believe it)
Hey look, ma, I made it
(Think I must be dreamin')
Hey look, ma, I made it
High Hopes Lyrics
[Intro]
(High, high hopes)
[Chorus]
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime, but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes (High, high hopes)
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how, but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes
[Verse 1]
Mama said, "Fulfill the prophecy
Be something greater, go make a legacy
Manifest destiny back in the days
We wanted everything, wanted everything"
Mama said, "Burn your biographies
Rewrite your history, light up your wildest dreams
Museum victories every day
We wanted everything, wanted everything"
[Pre-Chorus]
Mama said, "Don't give up, it's a little complicated
All tied up, no more love and I'd hate to see you waiting"
[Chorus]
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime, but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how, but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes (High, high hopes)
[Verse 2]
Mama said, "It's uphill for oddities
The stranger crusaders ain't ever wannabes
The weird and the novelties don't ever change
We wanted everything, wanted everything" (High, high hopes)
"Stay up on that rise
Stay up on that rise and never come down, oh
Stay up on that rise
Stay up on that rise and never come down"
[Pre-Chorus]
Mama said, "Don't give up, it's a little complicated
All tied up, no more love and I'd hate to see you waiting
They say it's all been done, but they haven't seen the best of me-eh-eh-eh
So I got one more run and it's gonna be a sight to see-eh-eh-eh"
[Chorus]
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime, but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes (High, high hopes)
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how, but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes (High, high hopes)
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime, but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how, but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes (High, high hopes)
Roaring 20s Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Broadway is black like a sinkhole
Everyone raced to the suburbs
And I'm on the rooftop with curious strangers
This is the oddest of summers
Maybe I'll medicate, maybe inebriate
Strange situations, I get anxious
Maybe I'll smile a bit, maybe the opposite
But pray that they don't call me thankless
[Pre-Chorus]
My Tell-Tale Heart's a hammer in my chest
Cut me a silk tie tourniquet
[Chorus]
This is my roaring, roaring 20s
I don't even know me
Roll me like a blunt 'cause I wanna go home
Roll me like a blunt 'cause I wanna go home
My roaring, roaring 20s
I don't even know me
Roll me like a blunt 'cause I wanna go home
Roll me like a blunt 'cause I want, I wanna go home
[Verse 2]
Oscars and Emmys and Grammys
Everyone here is a trophy
And I'm sipping bourbon
The future's uncertain
The past on the pavement below me
Maybe I'll elevate, maybe I'm second rate
So unaware of my status
Maybe I'm overjoyed, maybe I'm paranoid
Designer me up in straight jackets
[Pre-Chorus]
My Tell-Tale Heart's a hammer in my chest
Cut me a silk tie tourniquet
[Chorus]
This is my roaring, roaring 20s
I don't even know me
Roll me like a blunt 'cause I wanna go home
Roll me like a blunt 'cause I wanna go home
My roaring, roaring 20s
I don't even know me
Roll me like a blunt 'cause I wanna go home
Roll me like a blunt 'cause I want, I wanna go home
[Bridge]
Hallucinations only mean that your brain is on fire
If it's Lord of the Flies in my mind tonight
I don't know if I will survive
Lighters up if you're feeling me
Fade to black if you're not mine
'Cause I just need a sign or a signal inside
[Chorus]
This is my roaring, roaring 20s
I don't even know me
Roll me a blunt 'cause I wanna go home
Roll me a, roll me a blunt
This is my roaring, roaring 20s
I don't even know me
Roll me like a blunt 'cause I wanna go home
Roll me like a blunt 'cause I want, I wanna go home
[Outro]
Oh-woah
Oh-woah
I wanna go home
Dancingâs Not a Crime Lyrics
[Intro]
Let's do it
Let's do it
Let's do it
If you love me
[Verse 1]
I'm a moon-walker, I'm like MJ up in the clouds
I know it sounds awkward, I'm filthy as charged, filthy as charged
You're a sweet talker, but darlin' whatcha gonna say now?
The midnight marauders, the higher never come down, never come down
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't take me anywhere, anywhere
You can't take me anywhere, anywhere
I'm still uninvited, I'm still gonna light it, I'm going insane

Whatever they tell you...

Dancin's not a crime, 'less you do it without me, 'less you do it without me

[Verse 2]
And if you're night crawlin' with him, I won't take it lying down
I've got a few lawyers and you're guilty as charged, guilty as charged
We could be waltzin', yeah
But darlin' don't be throwing shade now
Don't call me Saint California if you're at another altar
Just gimme your vows, gimme your vows, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't take me anywhere, anywhere
You can't take me anywhere, anywhere
I'm still uninvited, I'm still gonna light it, I'm going insane
And I don't care
(Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it)
Whatever they tell you...
(If you love me)

Dancin's not a crime, 'less you do it without me, 'less you do it without me (If you love me)

Without me
(If you love me)
[Bridge]
Ooo-ooo-ooo
What's come over you?
Baby, just tell me now
Ooo-ooo-ooo
Why did you make that move?
'Cause I just wanna be your boyfriend/girlfriend, oh yeah
And I just wanna be your boyfriend/girlfriend, oh yeah, oh yeah
(Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it)
Whatever they tell you...
(If you love me)
[Chorus]
Dancin' (ooo), dancin' (ooo)
Dancin's not a crime, 'less you do it without me, 'less you do it without me (If you love me)
Dancin' (ooo), dancin' (ooo)
Dancin's not a crime
Unless you do it (do it), do it (do it), do it do it do it without me (If you love me)
[Outro]
(If you love me)
Without me
Do it, do it, do it without me (If you love me)
(If you love me) Without me
(If you love me) Without me
(If you love me)
One of the Drunks Lyrics
[Intro: Brendon Urie]
Welcome to the club
Welcome to the
[Verse 1: Brendon Urie]
Orange juice, pour out half the carton
Grey Goose, pour it, get it started
Good times, remedy your sorrows
Baptize, don't worry 'bout tomorrow
Shake it up, shake it up, now it's time to dive in
Share a cup, share a cup, now you're screwdrivin'
[Pre-Chorus: Brendon Urie]
Every weekend with your friends, every weekday when it ends
Damn it's all good, I guess
[Chorus: Brendon Urie]
This is what it feels like when you become one of the drunks
This is what it feels like when you become one of the drunks
Searching for a new high, high as the sun, uncomfortably numb
This is what it feels like when you become one of the drunks
[Post-Chorus: Brendon Urie]
Welcome to the club
Welcome to the club
Welcome to the
[Verse 2: Brendon Urie]
Never dry, every day you're thirsty
Bourbon high, sip it 'til you're tipsy
Night's young, searching for a feeling
Big fun, dancing with the demons
Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, grips you like a pistol
Wet the whistle, wet the whistle, abyss of ice crystals
[Pre-Chorus: Brendon Urie]
Every weekend with your friends, every weekday when it ends
Damn it's all good, I guess
[Chorus: Brendon Urie]
This is what it feels like when you become one of the drunks
This is what it feels like when you become one of the drunks
Searching for a new high, high as the sun, uncomfortably numb
This is what it feels like when you become one of the drunks
[Bridge: Brendon Urie]
Welcome to the club
Round and round and round
And round and round and round
Damn it's all good
Round and round and round
And round and round and round
Damn it's all good, I guess
[Chorus: Brendon Urie]
This is what it feels like when you become one of the drunks
This is what it feels like when you become one of the drunks
Searching for a new high, high as the sun, uncomfortably numb
This is what it feels like when you become one of the drunks
[Post-Chorus: Brendon Urie]
Welcome to the club
Welcome to the club
Welcome to the club
This is what it feels like when you become one of the drunks
Welcome to the club
Welcome to the club
[Outro: Rob Mathes]
Yeah, there's a couple fracks, but we got it. That's the shit, that's the shit, and, man, I saw you fuckin' lift that sax up towards the microphone and I fell in love!
K, alright, one more time, here we go
The Overpass Lyrics
[Intro: Lyn Collins]
Let me hear you say somethin'
[Verse 1: Brendon Urie]
Sorry to get sentimental tonight
(That perfume lingers in your hair)
It's just that everything reminds me of things
I thought I shouldn't have to see again
See, the thing is I'm so sorry to say
(You need me, don't you?)
Someone still loves you (Still loves you)
Someone still loves you
[Chorus: Brendon Urie & Lyn Collins]
Meet me, meet me
At the overpass, at the overpass
Sketchy girls and lipstick boys
(Sketchy girls and lipstick boys)
Troubled love and high speed noise
I know you wanna meet me, meet me
At the overpass, at the overpass
Sketchy girls and lipstick boys
(Sketchy girls and lipstick boys)
Troubled love and high speed noise
I know you wanna
Let me hear you say somethin'
[Verse 2: Brendon Urie]
I have a shirt that keeps your smell
(That perfume lingers in your hair)
You keep one too in parallel
(You keep my long black leather)
See the thing is I'm so sorry to say
(You need me, don't you?)
Someone still loves you (Loves you)
Someone still loves you
[Bridge: Brendon Urie]
Tiny bottles of shit wine
In a tin can that climbs
But I remember every time
Everything about you is perfect
Down to your blood type
But I remember every time
[Chorus: Brendon Urie & Lyn Collins]
Meet me, meet me
At the overpass, at the overpass
Sketchy girls and lipstick boys
(Sketchy girls and lipstick boys)
Troubled love and high speed noise
I know you wanna meet me, meet me
At the overpass, at the overpass
Sketchy girls and lipstick boys
(Sketchy girls and lipstick boys)
Troubled love and high speed noise
I know you wanna
Let me hear you say somethin'
King of the Clouds Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Heaven knows that I'm born too late
For these ghosts that I chase
With these dreams, I inflate, painted skies in my brain
Every day, I'm Carl Sagan in space
To escape this old world, this old world
Some days I lie wide awake 'til the sun hits my face
And I fade, elevate from the Earth
Far away to a place where I'm free from the weight
This old world, this old world
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't trust anything
Or anyone, below the sun
And I don't feel anything
At all
[Chorus]
I'm king of the clouds, of the clouds
I get lifted, I get lifted
King of the clouds, of the clouds
I get lifted, I get lifted
[Verse 2]
Some only live to die, I'm alive to fly higher
Than angels in outfields inside of my mind
I'm ascendin' these ladders, I'm climbin', say goodbye
This old world, this old world
And when I fall to rise with stardust in my eyes
In the backbone of night, I'm combustible
Dust in the fire when I can't sleep a wink, I'm too tired
This old world, this old world
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't trust anything
Or anyone, below the sun
I don't feel anything
At all
[Chorus]
I'm king of the clouds, of the clouds
I get lifted, I get lifted
King of the clouds, of the clouds
I get lifted, I get lifted
Imagination, take me somewhere I don't know
I'm lost but I better find it alone
King of the clouds, of the clouds
I get lifted, I get lifted
[Outro]
I keep searching
Oh, I keep searching
I keep searching
Old Fashioned Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Once upon a thrill, from a kiss to a swill
We were swallowin' the nights like we had nine lives
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so
We were borderline kids with a book of disorders
Medicatin' every day to keep the straightness in order
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the false side of hope where believers concede
And there's only memories when it's over
[Chorus]
So pour out some liquor, make it an old-fashioned
Remember your youth, in all that you do
The plank and the passion
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
Of your life
[Verse 2]
Once upon before, we were brilliant and bored
Two dashes of the bitters, add some ice and you pour
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the false side of hope where believers concede
And there's only memories when it's over
[Chorus]
So pour out some liquor, make it an old-fashioned
Remember your youth, in all that you do
The plank and the passion
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
Of your life
[Bridge]
Get boozy, boozy, boozy (Now it looks like a wasteland)
Get boozy, boozy, boozy (Not the way that we remember)
Get boozy, boozy, boozy (One more sip for the past)
Get boozy, boozy, boozy (And always tip your bartenders)
Get boozy, boozy, boozy, Get boozy, boozy, boozy
Get boozy, boozy, boozy, Get boo-
[Chorus]
So pour out some liquor, make it an old-fashioned
Remember your youth, in all that you do
The plank and the passion
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
Dying in LA Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The moment you arrived, they built you up
The sun was in your eyes, you couldn't believe it
Riches all around, you're walking
Stars are on the ground, you start to believe it
[Pre-Chorus]
Every face along the boulevard
Is a dreamer just like you
You looked at death in a tarot card
And you saw what you had to do
[Chorus]
But nobody knows you now, when you're dying in LA
And nobody owes you now, when you're dying in LA
When you're dying in LA, when you're dying in LA
The power, the power, the power
Oh, the power, the power, the power
Of LA
[Verse 2]
Nights at the chateau, trapped in your sunset bungalow
You couldn't escape it, yeah
Drink of paradise, they told you, put your blood on ice
You're not gonna make it
[Pre-Chorus]
Every face along the boulevard
Is a dreamer just like you
You looked at death in a tarot card
And you saw what you had to do
[Chorus]
But nobody knows you now, when you're dying in LA
And nobody owes you now, when you're dying in LA
When you're dying in LA, when you're dying in LA
The power, the power, the power
Oh, the power, the power, the power
Of LA
