We like the smoke
We like the rain
The boys are locked out when the girls are late
We do what we want to
I grew up jaded
You grew up fast
I guess it’s best if we forget the past
We do what we want to
So sweat that desert heat
Big fat beats to grind
Just stay with me tonight
We had a fire, but it just burned out
And there’s a place and a time where we might find out...
So sweat that desert heat big fat beats to grind
We do what we want to

Wish for a miracle
Living non-existent to you
Feeling the unknown
Bent knees
Broken tree
Hold me like you used to in the house that was our home
We’ve all got our vices and still we judge alone what we see
Limelight every night
It still means nothing to you
Blood is thick and we are bones
Short sight
Hi-fi
Hoping for a miracle before we die alone
I’ve got my vices, but you should know it’s just me
We had a fire, but it just burned out
And there’s a place and a time where we might find out that we’re just the same
So slow
Telephone
Emotion non-existent
Still we talk just like before
Bent knees
Broken tree
Hold me like you used to in the house that was our home
In San Diego where we used to be whole, you taught me to walk like a man with a good-hearted soul
I’ve got my vices, but you should know it’s just me
We had a fire, but it just burned out
And there’s a place and a time where we might find out that we’re just the same
That love is there, but pouring from my mouth will be the “told you so” when everyone finds out that we’re just the same
We know what we know
Understand there’s a plan for what’s meant to be
We know what we know
Sorry I can’t receive the message faithfully
Wish for a miracle
Or just accept my place
All the time we’ve wasted
We know what we know
Understand it’s the life that was meant for me
We had a fire, but it just burned out
And there’s a place and a time where we might find out that we’re just the same
That love is there, but pouring from my mouth will be the “told you so” when everyone finds out that we’re just the same

No
I can’t sleep tonight
All my friends are gone and everything falls apart without you, babe
So slow
Coming down the high
I think I’ve fallen apart and now is the time I’ve come to love your face
But the stars are so bright and I think that I might just take you home tonight
Because I can’t cope with it
Just stay with me tonight
I need a little repair and you’re better than nothing
Just stay with me tonight
I need a little repair
Gotta hold onto something
Praying on my knees like a good boy
Spittin’ it out like god exists when I’ve got no joy
I never was one to bow down so habitually
Looking through the stained-glass
Breathing in smoke while the church choir sings from the radio
I’m falling apart and I’ve got to love you, babe
But the stars are so bright and I think that you’re right
Because I’m falling apart and now is the time I’ve got to love you
Just stay with me tonight
I need a little repair and you’re better than nothing
Just stay with me tonight
I need a little repair
Mary, you’re better than nothing
I don’t believe in god...
I don’t believe in god, but girl in you I’ll try my best to find heaven
Just stay with me tonight
I need a little repair and you’re better than nothing
Just stay with me tonight
I need a little repair
Gotta hold onto something
I don’t believe in god, but girl in you I’ll try my best to find heaven
Mary, you’re better than nothing

Drive

Not alone, but the desolation grows
Not dead, but losing all control
With a Stockholm-smile in a life that’s been for me
I think it’s time to leave so I can see
We’ll run from the city in the dark
A million miles to find the part of what we are
We’ll take it to the stars
With the sunset at your back
Crew stacked
Crank the knob and blast car stereo
You ditched that nine-to-five
Satisfied
Limelight
Suicide
You better do it big
So sweat that desert heat
Big fat beats to grind
Deep breath
Cardiac arrest down in the chest
But it don’t stop
Take a drive in the car, from the city in the dark
And what doesn’t kill will miss the shine amongst the stars
With the top down now
Let the good times roll
Ain’t nothin’ out here but the art and open road
We’ll run to the city in the stars
We’ll take it to the stars
Take a drive in the car, from the city in the dark
A million miles to find the part of what we are
With the top down now let the good times roll
Ain’t nothin’ out here but the art and open road
You can’t mount what you can’t control
Just let the drive lead where the streets are made of gold
We’ll run to the city in the stars
We’ll take it to the stars

Movie Life Fantasy
04:22

There’s a place where the heart runs to.
No feeling when it’s tired and alone.
Nobody lying wide awake with you
No one to love you when the feeling’s through.
You’ve gotta keep bad company until you beat that and release.
Black box and Mr. green have got that consistency, but don’t sweat what I do.
And I’m so far gone that I’d be lying if I told you I feel right, but we do what we want to
Yeah I’m so fucked up, but there’s no denying that you’d feel me in this light, because we do what we want to.
We like to play our cards and let the river drown us hard.
We’ll wash up on the shore... eventually anyway.
Mother why can’t you see, I’ve still got decency forever.
You’ll never see me with a bad step in my stride.
Threw out the guilt in me.
I’ve got what I need so don’t sweat what I do.
All you wanted was a love like heroin.
Movie Life Fantasy on all that skin.
Take another to the head now, maybe one or two.
Cigarette ash and a green like cash.
Doing what we wanna do.
