Fallout Boy Tribute EP

 Dead On Arrival

Hope this is the last time because I'd never say no to you
This conversation's been dead on arrival
And there's no way to talk to you this conversation's been dead on
A rivalry goes so deep between me and this loss of sleep over you
This is side one, flip me over I know I'm not your favorite record
The songs you grow to like never stick at first
So, I'm writing you a chorus, and here is your verse

No, it's not the last time, because I'd never say no to you
This conversation's still dead on arrival
And there's no way to talk to you when you're dead on
A rivalry goes so deep between me and this loss of sleep over you
This is side one, flip me over I know I'm not your favorite record
The songs you grow to like never stick at first
So, I'm writing you a chorus, and here is your verse

Grand Theft Autumn / Where Is Your Boy

Where is your boy tonight I hope he is a gentleman
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town
When I wake up, I'm willing to take my chances on the hope I'd forget
That you hate him more than you notice I wrote this for you

You need him, I could be him I could be an accident
But I'm still trying that's more than I can say for him
Where is your boy tonight I hope he is a gentleman
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town

Someday I'll appreciate in value get off my ass and call you, the meantime, 
I'll sport my brand new fashion of waking up with pants on at four in the afternoon
You need him, I could be him I could be an accident
But I'm still trying that's more than I can say for him
Where is your boy tonight I hope he is a gentleman
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town
(Won't find out) He won't find out (Won't find out) He won't find out

Sugar We're Going Down

Am I more than you bargained for yet I've been dying to tell you
Anything you want to hear because that's just who I am this week
Lie in the grass next to the mausoleum
I'm just a notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song
Drop a heart and break a name we're always sleeping in and sleeping for the wrong team
We're going down, down in an earlier round and sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet a loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

Is this more than you bargained for yet don't mind me, I'm watching
You two from the closet wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him?
I'm just a notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song
Drop a heart and break a name we're always sleeping in and sleeping for the wrong team
We're going down, down in an earlier round and sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet a loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race

I am an arms dealer fitting you with weapons in the form of words
And don't really care which side wins long as the room keeps singing, that's just the business I'm in
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race I'm not a shoulder to cry on, but I digress
I'm a leading man and the lies I weave are so intricate so intricate
I'm a leading man and the lines I weave are so intricate so intricate

I wrote the gospel on giving up you're looking pretty sinking
But the real bombshells have already sunk prima donnas of the gutter
At night, we're painting your trash gold while you sleep
Crashing not like hips or cars, no, more like parties
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race bandwagon is full, please catch another
I'm a leading man and the lies I weave are so intricate so intricate
I'm a leading man and the lines I weave are so intricate so intricate

All the boys who the dance floor didn't love
And all the girls whose lips couldn't move fast enough sing until your lungs give out
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race 
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
I'm a leading man and the lies I weave are so intricate so intricate
I'm a leading man and the lines I weave are so intricate so intricate

I Don't Care

Say my name and his in the same breath I dare you to say they taste the same
Let the leaves fall off in the summer and let December glow in flames
Erase myself and let go start it over again in Mexico
These friends, they don't love you they just love the hotel suites now!
I don't care what you think as long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness in misery

Take a chance, let your body get a tolerance I'm not a chance, but a heat wave in your pants
Pull a breath like another cigarette pawn shop heart, trading up, said no
I'm the oracle in my chest let the guitar scream like a fascist
Sweat it out, shut your mouth, free love on the streets, but in the alley, it ain't that cheap now
I don't care what you think as long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness in misery

Uma Thurman

I can move mountains I can work a miracle
I'll keep you like an oath may nothing but death do us apart
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman bury me until I confess
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman and I can't get you out of my head

The stench, the stench of summer sex and CK Eternity Hell yes
Divide me down to the smallest I can be put your venom in me
I can move mountains I can work a miracle
I'll keep you like an oath may nothing but death do us apart
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman bury me until I confess
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman and I can't get you out of my head

The blood of the lamb is worth two lions but here I am
And I slept in last night's clothes and tomorrow's dreams but they're not quite what they seem
I can move mountains I can work a miracle
I'll keep you like an oath may nothing but death do us apart
You'll find your way and may death find you alive
Take me down the line in Gem City we turn the tide
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman bury me until I confess
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman and I can't get you out of my head
