Danger 03:41
Danger, I can feel it ‘round the corner All the lovely things have gone away There's nothing else to say. Stranger, everything is going dim I find myself alone at night Turning out the light. Danger, something’s under my skin I find myself alone at night And no one's in charge. Oh you can say what you want to say You’ll never change what you want to change. Danger, in every face I meet I can’t even try to speak Without some kind of lie Stranger, everyone’s a stranger now I don’t recall anybody's name Just birthdays and life, life stories Oh you can say what you want to say You’ll never change what you want to change You can say what you want to say You’ll never, ever, ever change All the pretty things that I can say and do Oh they mean nothing When I’m face to face with you

We’re walking down the street under streetlights It feels like a stage Where you say your lines and I act entertained I get it, you’re smart and underwhelmed Filling in the blanks as ideas are taking their shape Color in the lines, you mull over your great escape You’re leaving, you tell me all the time That the city has lost touch with you And you’re moving to some place that will keep you amazed Like Brooklyn, or L.A. What a unique way to make a really big change. Oh what a pretty dress you put on when you’re making a scene All the pretty boys gather ‘round just to hear your critiques We get it, you're smart and self-aware Say your little lines but I know that you don’t have a clue In your perfect world, everyone’s impressed with you And big plans you pulled right out of the books you read in the seventh grade Oh how those stories could keep you amazed About Brooklyn, or L.A. I can’t believe that you see yourself with a straight face. Oh, I guess I’m bitter when I see you showing off your new tattoo Oh I want to be like you You do the things that I could never do. You finally reached the promised land It’s in the letter that you sent Your new best friend is a dramaturge Bed-Stuy’s all you could afford L.A. was just too far away You couldn’t stomach Silver Lake…

Big Machine 03:02
You've got a lot of nerve Passing actions off as words Your hands move before your lips I could stand you, But not this I thought I wanted this Can't say I want it now Behind your big machine Engineering every scene But you'll bend and then you'll break We'll be watching every take I thought I wanted this Can't say I want it now Pull back the curtain We'll see you performing A marionette whose whole face Screams a warning I thought I wanted this Can't say I want it now Who do you want on your side in this war? Just some sociopaths who don't care what it's for? They'll destroy all your friends with a flick of the wrist You'll be standing there grateful that you still exist. But who's watching you Who's watching you now? Get down on broken knee Bleed your whole history Who will be watching you? Now that we're onto you? Watching you Watching you Watching you Watching you now?

Lives on TV 02:15
I sit here watching these lives on TV Compelling and dangerous and nothing like me Endless romances with tragic young men Funny how heartbreak looks so good on them I look out the window, it’s winter again Silver bare branches bend back in the wind Funny how spring comes again and again Days into years, and where have I been? Oh, what’s another try Just to feel it again and again and again and again What’s another try Just to feel it again and again and again and again Lives on film, they don’t apply But we’ll try just to feel it again and again I sit here watching these lives on TV Sometimes I swear it they look back at me The screen fades to static and I am alone Watching bare branches from the comfort of home.

Hold on to your hat I'm on my way back With golden eyes And muscled thighs And all the trappings of joy. I'll wait for you downtown With all my famous friends Bathing in champagne and caviar. I am a picture Of the glory of success Is this what you pictured? When you dreamt of us? The fastest cars Aren't fast enough for me. You're nothing without wings To set you free. Fighter jets and private planes Over deserts in the dark. I see a picture Of a city full of stars. Is this what you pictured Did you think I'd get this far? I am a picture Of the glory of success Is this what you pictured? When you dreamt of us? Hold on to your hat I'm on my way back

The little things keep you awake War and peace and your own mistakes Something's gotta give You see yourself in windowpanes Your face is tired but it's still the same They asked for you by name Eyes wide you made your bed But we're the ones who lay our heads You act extraordinary I almost believe you really care But all those things you carry Are showing wear and tear Eyes wide you made your bed But we're the ones who lay our heads It's hard in January When skies are cold and gray But if you ask me nicely You know I’ll always play Eyes wide you made your bed But we're the ones who lay our heads

The Party 03:32
I want to be the summer breeze And touch all the pretty girls I want to take a little more Before it becomes a habit I want to say a little louder Everything is golden Oh you know I’m telling the truth You can find me here in my downtime Staring at the mirror on the wall You can always find me in my downtime Staring at the mirror on the wall. You can say what you want to say Just try to keep it honest And we’ll change, I know we’ll change But we’ll still watch the neighbors You can feel what you want to feel I'll try to make it even Oh you know I’m falling apart. You can find me here in my downtime Staring at the mirror on the wall You can always find me in my downtime Staring at the mirror on the wall... What would it take to surprise you? What would it take to surprise you? What would it take to surprise you?

I don’t stand a chance I don’t stand a chance I spent the last of my change Trying to find my way out of this place But you’re fading in and out and I stand still. There’s no rest, there’s no reprieve There’s no rest, there’s no reprieve I’ve read all the right books and I know The meaning of anodyne I haven’t found one yet but I’m biding my time. I’ve got a reason to leave here But you know I’m never gonna go I won’t apologize to you For the things that I have to do. I won’t apologize to you There are things I have to do. I don’t stand a chance I don’t stand a chance Cause you’re fading in and out and I stand still.
