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 
And what’s the worst you take (worst you take)
From every heart you break (heart you break) 
And like a 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 

Came a time 
When every star falls
Brought you to tears again 
We are the very hurt you sold 
And what’s the worst you take (worst you take)
From every heart you break (heart you break)
And like a 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 long and goodnight 

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 long and goodnight

2. Give 'Em Hell Kid

Oh baby, here comes the sound 
I 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 

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 beautiful 

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 tux I own

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 can ever say 

We are made from the sharpest things you say 
We are young and we don't care 
Your dreams and your hopeless hair 
We never wanted it to be this way 
For all our lives 
Do you care at all? 

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 can ever say

3. To The End

He calls the mansion not a house but a tomb. 
He's always choking from the stench and the fume. 
The wedding party all collapsed in the room. 
So send my resignation to the bride and the groom. 

Let’s go down! 
This elevator only goes up to ten. 
He's not around. 
He's always looking at men 
Down by the pool, 
He doesn't have many friends. 
As they are face down and bloated, 
Snap a shot with the lens. 

If you marry me. 
Would you bury me? 
Would you carry me to the end? 

So say goodbye to the vows you take. 
And say goodbye to the life you make. 
And say goodbye to the hearts you break. 
And all the cyanide you drank. 

She keeps a picture of the body she lends. 
Got nasty blisters from the money she spends. 
She got a life of her own and it shows, 
By the Benz she drives at 90 by the Barbies’ and Kens. 

If you ever say, never too late. 
I'll forget all the diamonds you ate. 
Lost in coma and covered in cake. 
Increase the medication. 
Share the vows at the wake. 
(Kiss the bride.) 

If you marry me. 
Will you bury me? 
Would you carry me to the end? 
So say goodbye to the vows you take. 
And say goodbye to the life you make. 
And say goodbye to the heart you break. 
And all the cyanide you drank. 

So say goodbye to the last parade. 
And walk away from the choice you’ve made. 
And say goodnight to the heart you break, 
And all the cyanide you drank. 

So say goodbye to the vows you take. 
And say goodbye to the life you make. 
And say goodbye to the heart you break. 
And all the cyanide you drank. 

So say goodbye to the last parade. 
And walk away from the choice you’ve made. 
And say goodnight to the heart you break, 
And all the cyanide you drank. 

To the last parade. 
And the parties fade. 
And the choice you made. 
To the end.

4. You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison

In the middle of a gun fight
In the center of a restaurant 
They say, "Come with your arms raised high!"
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

[chorus] 
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
Too much, too late, or just not enough of this 
Pain in my heart for your dying wish
I kiss your lips again

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] 

To your room
What they ask of you 
Will make you want to say, 'So long'
Well, I don't remember
Why remember you 

Do you have the keys to the hotel 
Cause I'm gonna string this motherf*cker on fire (fire)

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
Now now now now...now now now...now now now!!

5. I'm Not Okay (I Promise)

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
For all the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
Remember when you broke your foot 
From jumping out the second floor

I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out

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
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

I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out

Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
You said you'd read me like a book
But the pages are all torn and frayed

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)

I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm not o-fucking-kay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
(Okay)

6. Ghost of You

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

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, 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

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

If I fall
If I fall (down)

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 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

7. Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You

Gaze into her killing jar
I'd 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?

Alright, give up, get down
It’s just the hardest part of living
Alright, she wants 
It all has to come down this time

Lost in the prescription she's got 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?

Alright, give up. Get down.
It’s just the hardest part of living.
Alright, she wants. It all has to come down this time.

Alright, give up. Get down.
It’s just the hardest part of living.
Alright, she wants. It all has to come down this time.

Pull the plug.
But I'd like to learn your name.
And holding on,
Well I hope you do the same.
Awww, sugar.
Slip into the tragedy you've spun this chamber dry.

Alright, give up. Get down.
It’s just the hardest part of living.
Alright, she wants. It all has to come down this time.

Alright, give up. Get down.
It’s just the hardest part of living.
Alright, she wants. It all has to come down this time.

Pull the plug.
But I'd like to learn your name.
And holding on,
Well I hope you do the same.
Awww, sugar.

8. Interlude

Sinners return to Hell now 
Come angels, love come 
Come angels, love come

9. Thank You for the Venom

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 of the rose on your coffin door 
What's life like, bleeding on the floor, the floor, the floor

You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give me a reason to believe

[chorus] 
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 

Preach all you want but who's gonna save me
I keep a gun on the book that you gave me
Hallelujah, lock and load
Black is the kiss, the touch of the serpent son 
It ain't the mark or the scar that makes you one 
And run and run and run 

You'll never make me leave 
I wear this on my sleeve 
Give me a reason to believe 

[chorus] 
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 

You'll never make me leave 
I wear this on my sleeve 
You wanna follow something 
Give me a better cause to lead
Just give me what I need 
Give me a reason to believe 

[chorus 2x] 

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 

10. Hang 'Em High

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 sinner, wild-eyed jokers
Got you in my sights
Gun it while I'm holding on

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

But, don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby, don't stop
Bury me and fade to black

She won't stop me 
Put it down [2x]

So get your gun
And leave me by the door

Don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby Don't stop
Bury me and fade to black [2x]

11. It's Not a Fashion Statement, It's a Deathwish

For what you did to me
And what I'll do to you 
You get, what everyone else gets
You get a lifetime
Let's go

Do you remember that day when we met
You told me this gets harder 
Well, it did
Been holding on forever
Promise me that when I'm gone, you'll kill my enemies
The damage, you've inflicted temporary wounds
I'm coming back from the dead and I'll take you home with me
I'm taking back the life you stole

We never got that far
This helps me to think all through the night
Bright lights that won't kill me now, won't tell me how 
Just you and I, your stareless eyes remain

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

I will avenge my ghost with every breath I take
I'm coming back from the dead and I'll take you home with me
I'm taking back the life you stole

This hole you put me in
Wasn't deep enough and I'm climbing out right now
You're running out of places to hide from me
When you go, just know that I will remember you
If living was the hardest part
We'll then one day be together 
And in the end, we'll fall apart
Just like the leaves change in color 
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 lost my fear of falling
I will be with you
I will be with you

12. Cementary Drive

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

I miss you
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard

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?

I miss you
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard

Way down [8x]

I miss you 
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard [2x]

Way down [9x]

13. I Never Told You What I Do for a Living

Stay out of the light
Or the photographs 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

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
Only go so far to bury them
So deep and down we go

Touched by angels though, I fall out of grace
I did it all so maybe I’d live this everyday

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
Only go so far to bury them
So deep and down we go
Down
And down we go
And down we go
And down we go
And we all fall down

And we'll all dance alone 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

Well never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now

I tried, one more night, one more night
Well I’m laughing', crying', laughing'
I tried, well I tried, well I tried
Cause I tried, but I lied
I tried, I tried, I tried

And we'll love again and we'll laugh again
We’ll try 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

Never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head 
And we're all dead now
