Track Lyrics
Club America Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I ride into your town on a big black Trojan horse
I'm looking to have some fun, some kind of trigger-happy intercourse
"Club America salutes you," says the girl on the door
"We accept all major lies, we love any kind of fraud"
So go on in and enjoy, go on in and enjoy
[Verse 2]
I'm buying for my bright new friends, Blue Suzanne's all round
And my mood is heavily pregnant
Yeah, you're right, I couldn't help but notice your icy blue eyes
They've been burning two holes in the sides of my head since the second I arrived
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But it's not too hard to guess
From your stick-on stars and your canary feather dress
Your hair is such a carefully careless mess
That you're really trying very hard to impress
[Chorus 1]
You're such a wonderful person living a fabulous life
Sensational dazzling perfectly sized
Such a wonderful person living a fabulous life
Sharing it with me in Club America tonight
[Verse 3]
So we talk for a while about some band you saw on TV
But I don't listen to you and you don't listen to me
Yeah, it's an old routine but it's a very special part of the game
And you don't really care what I call you at all when I can't quite remember your name
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And it's not too hard to guess
From your stick-on stars and your canary feather dress
The way you're so carefully "couldn't care less"
That you're really trying very hard to impress
[Chorus 1]
You're such a wonderful person living a fabulous life
Sensational dazzling perfectly sized
Such a wonderful person living a fabulous life
Sharing it with me tonight
[Chorus 2]
Yeah, you're a wonderful person living a fabulous life
Fantastic, divine, and thrillingly bright
Such a wonderful person living a fabulous lie
With me in Club America tonight
Strange Attraction Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It started with a dedication, lost in admiration
"Happy birthday, I'm forever yours"
Blossom faded red inside a tiny book of butterflies
I smiled, surprised at how when flickered through
The wings flew by spelled out my name
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Six months went by, the summer lost
Obsessively the letters dropped into my life
The same soft blood smooth flowing hand
"Please try to understand
I have to see you, have to feel you
Tell you all the ways I need you
Yours, forever in love"
[Chorus 1]
Strange attraction spreads its wings
It varies but the smallest things
You never know how anything will change
Strange attraction spreads its wings
And alters but the smallest things
You never know how anything will fade
[Verse 2]
The year grew old, incessantly she wrote to me
She'd started smoking poetry
I laughed in recognition of a favorite phrase
She'd pulled me in, I answered her
A Christmas card in sepia
Arranging when and where and how the two of us should meet
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Her opening so well-prepared
A nervous smile, I couldn't take my eyes from her
She whispered, "Can I use some of your lipstick?"
It was perfect, so believable, I couldn't help but feel that it was real
And kissing crimson, fell into her waiting arms
[Chorus 1]
Strange attraction spreads its wings
It varies but the smallest things
You never know how anything will change
Strange attraction spreads its wings
And alters but the smallest things
You never know how anything will fade
[Verse 3]
So alone into the cold new year without another word from her
I wrote to ask if we could maybe meet again before the spring
But weeks went by with no reply until once more my birthday came
And with it my surprise but this time nothing was the same
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I'm sorry, blame infatuation, blame imagination
I was sure you'd be the one but I was wrong
It seems reality destroys our dreams, I won't forget you
Blossom faded red inside a tiny book of old goodbyes
[Chorus 2]
Strange attraction spreads its wings
It varies but the smallest things
You never know how anything will change
Strange attraction spreads its wings
And alters but the smallest things
And you never know, and you never know
Mint Car Lyrics
[Intro]
Oooww!
[Verse 1]
The sun is up, I'm so happy I could scream!
And there's nowhere else in the world I'd rather be
Than here with you, it's perfect, it's all I ever wanted
Oh, I almost can't believe that it's for real
So pinch me quick
[Verse 2]
I really don't think it gets any better than this
Vanilla smile and a gorgeous strawberry kiss
Birds sing, we swing, clouds drift by and everything
Is like a dream, it's everything I wished
[Chorus 1]
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it again? I know we should!
[Interlude]
Slinky as raccoons in the roof!
[Verse 3]
The sun is up, I'm so fizzy I could burst
Yeah, you wet through and me headfirst
Into this is perfect, it's all I ever wanted
Ow, it feels so big it almost hurts
[Chorus 2]
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it some more? I know we should!
[Bridge]
Say it will always be like this
The two of us together
It will always be like this
Forever and ever and ever
And ever and ever
And ever and ever and ever ever
And ever and ever
[Chorus 3]
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it all the time? I know that we should!
Numb Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is how it ends after all these years, tired of it all
Hopelessly, helplessly broken apart, he finally falls
He doesn't want to think, doesn't want to feel
Doesn't want to know what's going on
Says there's nothing he can do will change anything
He doesn't want to know what's going wrong
[Chorus 1]
'Cause he's in love with a drug, one that makes him numb
One that stops him feeling at all
He's in love with a drug, forget everyone
He really doesn't care anymore
Anymore
[Verse 2]
This is how it ends after all this time, everything just fades away
Worn-out and empty and all alone with nothing left to say
Oh, it's all too big to make a difference
It's all too wrong to make it right
Yeah everything is too unfair, everything's too much to bear
He doesn't have the strength left for the fight
[Chorus 2]
Says all he wants is the drug, the one that makes him numb
The one that stops him feeling at all
He just wants to take the drug, forget everyone
He doesn't want to care anymore
[Chorus 3]
Just keeps loving the drug, the one that makes him numb
The one that stops him from feeling at all
Just keeps loving the drug, the drug that he's become
He isn't really here anymore
[Outro]
And that makes me cry
Trap Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Drowning like a fly in my drink
You drone about being on the brink
But I really don't care what you think
I'm sick of it all, sick of it all
[Verse 2]
I hate the way it's always the same
Hate recrimination and blame
And you just wait for me to fuck up again
Oh, I'm sick of it all, sick of it all
[Chorus 1]
The ways you try and put me down
Sweet revenge for the things I've done
The ways you try and twist me around
Give me a taste of my own medicine
[Verse 3]
Drowning like a fly in my drink
You whine about being out of sync
But I really don't care what you think
I'm sick of it all, sick of it all
[Verse 4]
I hate the way you want me to be
Hate regret and humility
And you just wait for me to fall at your feet
I'm sick of it all, sick of it all
[Chorus 2]
The ways you try and run me down
Make me pay for the things I've been
The ways you try and twist me around
All you want to do is win
[Bridge]
Any love you once felt for me
Has turned into this travesty
Of selfishness and jealousy
So why can't you just let me go?
[Outro]
Any love you once felt for me
Has turned into this travesty
Of selfishness and jealousy
So why can't I just let you go?
Bare Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you've got something left to say
You'd better say it now
Anything but "stay"
Just say it now
We know we've reached the end
We just don't know how
Well at least we'll still be friends
Yeah one last useless vow
One last useless vow
There are different ways to live
Yeah I know that stuff
Other ways to give
Yeah all that stuff
But holding on to "used to be"
Is not enough
Memory's not life
And it's not love
[Chorus]
We should let it all go
It never stays the same
So why does it hurt me like this
When you say that I've changed?
When you say that I've aged?
Say I'm afraid
[Verse 2]
And all the tears you cry
They're not tears for me
Regrets about your life
They're not regrets for me
It never turns out how you want
Why can't you see?
It all just slips away
It always slips away
Eventually
So if you've got nothing left to say
Just say goodbye
Turn your face away
And say goodbye
You know we've reached the end
You just don't know why
And you know we can't pretend
After all this time
[Chorus]
We should just let it all go
Nothing ever stays the same
So why does it hurt me like this
To say that I've changed?
To say that I've aged?
Say I'm afraid
[Verse 3]
But there are long long nights when I lay awake
And I think of what I've done
Of how I've thrown my sweetest dreams away
And what I've really become
And however hard I try
I will always feel regret
However hard I try
I will never forget
[Outro]
I will never forget
I will never forget
I will never forget
I will never forget
I will never forget
I will never forget
I will never forget
I will never forget
