Drink up, baby, stay up all night With the things you could do, you won't but you might The potential you'll be that you'll never see The promises you'll only make Drink up with me now and forget all about The pressure of days, do what I say And I'll make you okay and drive them away The images stuck in your head People you've been before that you Don't want around anymore That push and shove and won't bend to your will I'll keep them still Drink up, baby, look at the stars I'll kiss you again, between the bars Where I'm seeing you there, with your hands in the air Waiting to finally be caught Drink up one more time and I'll make you mine Keep you apart, deep in my heart Separate from the rest, where I like you the best And keep the things you forgot People you've been before that you Don't want around anymore That push and shove and won't bend to your will I'll keep them still

Angeles 02:25
Someone's always coming around here Trailing some new kill Says "I've seen your picture on a Hundred-dollar bill" What's a game of chance to you, To him is one Of real skill So glad to meet you, Angeles Picking up the ticket shows there's Money to be made Go on, lose the gamble that's the History of the trade Did you add up all the cards left to play To zero And sign up with evil, Angeles? Don't start me trying now Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh 'Cause I'm all over it, Angeles I can make you satisfied in Everything you do All your secret wishes could right Now be coming true And be forever with my poison arms Around you No one's gonna fool around with us No one's gonna fool around with us So glad to meet'cha, Angeles

Say Yes 02:19
I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl Who's still around the morning after We broke up a month ago and I grew up I didn't know I'd be around the morning after It's always been wait and see A happy day and then you pay And feel like shit the morning after But now I feel changed around and instead falling down I'm standing up the morning after Situations get fucked up and turned around sooner or later And I could be another fool or an exception to the rule You tell me the morning after Crooked spin can't come to rest I'm damaged bad at best She'll decide what she wants I'll probably be the last to know No one says until it shows, see how it is They want you or they don't Say yes I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl Who's still around the morning after

Division Day 02:30
There was grown man dying from fright So surprised by the things he'd say With a giant fantasy life Running 'round on feet of clay Naked except for a perpetual debt That couldn't be stripped away An unrightable wrong that moved him Along closer to division day Spent a long time living with that Never could give it a name And when you don't know what you're Looking at it makes it much harder to take Mostly they'd meet when he was Asleep and have some sick exchange That stuck him as wrong and moved him Along closer to division day I can't make an exception for a bad Connection that only goes one way Sell out for a song where I don't belong With you on division day The moon stood up on the ridge Looking down where the water shines And a man looking over the bridge Like he done so many times Thinking about how to stay out Out of troubles way and Flying to fall away from you all It's over division day Beautiful division day Thinking about how to stay out Out of troubles way Flying to fall away from you all It's over division day Beautiful division day

Easy Way Out 03:01
You'll take advantage 'til you think you're being used 'Cause without an enemy your anger gets confused I got stuck on the side you know I never chose But it's all about taking the easy way out for you I suppose There's no escape for you except in someone else Although you've already disappeared within yourself The invisible man who's always changing clothes It's all about taking the easy way out for you I suppose While I watch you making mistakes I wish you luck, I really do With the problem, with the puzzle Whatever's left of you I heard you found another audience to bore A creative thinker who imagined you were more A new body for you to push around and pose It's all about taking the easy way out for you I suppose It's all about taking the easy way out for you I suppose
