we got a long road ahead
settle down. settle back. settle in.
don’t you know we’re gonna have to work until we’re dead?
we’ve got such a long road aheadfull of naked feelings
illumination
you know all those things you just can’t teachThere you go again
laughing at real life
I guess that’s the way things will always beit’s been a long slow descent
energy lost. energy found. energy spent.
you know it takes years to make an overnight collapse
it’s been a long slow descentwe got a long road ahead
don’t look down. don’t look back. don’t fit in.
let’s have the last good time with what little we got left
we got a long road aheadscrew cynicism
and useless language
you know, all those things we say instead of what we meanthere you go again
laughing at real life
I guess that’s the way things will always be09.10.2008 8:17p; 09.15.2008 7:38p

I know you’re lonely
I’m waiting here for you
Baby, nothing changes
When you feel like I doSo now you’re far away
You got a job to do
So, baby don’t get desperate
Don’t be blueI see that exit sign
The one you take tonight
The one you take to know you’re homeSo many freeway signs
An exit for every life
Remember there’s one can take you homeOther people
They don’t have a clue
They drive on by
Like they doI see that exit sign
The one you take tonight
The one you take to know you’re homeSo many freeway signs
An exit for every life
Remember there’s one can take you homeWhere’s the love in a freeway sign
That’s got nothing to do with your life?
It just says you are miles from home07.20.2008 12:07a

No one told me about what happened
To you for a couple of years
Had to rewrite all the good times
Had to rewire ½ the gearsGoodbye Monday Blue
Goodbye I did love you
You had nothing left to lose
Save goodbye monday blueIt takes all your will
To draw with your eyes closed
And it takes all the energy
To recreate this worldGoodbye Monday Blue
Goodbye I did love you
You had nothing left to lose
Save goodbye monday blue

you could live in the future.

find me an after-hours London club
one where the taps don’t close up
from 11 o’clock until the sun comes up
‘cause I got 2 friends, baby, who just won’t shut upcognac & polyester are best friends to me
and neither of ‘em thinks the lesser to be
the fabric & the drink of high society
sounds like best friends to meit’s all the fault of this woman faulting out of her dress
close enough to spill, but not to confess
my brood & I, we just gotta laugh at all this decadence
times are not good, until you live them to excesseverybody’s drenched
seconds get stretched
the least likely combination
is never that far fetchedcognac & polyester are best friends to me
and neither of ‘em thinks the lesser to be
the fabric & the drink of high society
sounds like best friends to metwo me

I don’t ever want to get like that
How’d you ever come to get like that?
I swore I’d never want to get like that againKicked out of the house and shown the door
Forgotten twice by the side of the road
2 nights coatless
in the bitterbitter coldI don’t ever want to get like that
How’d you ever come to get like that?
I swore I’d never want to get like that again… but here I amCarried from the club
Never made it to the door
Now you’re leaving your body leaving your body leaving your body behindAnytime there’s win or lose
Anytime someone gets to choose
There’s always the back of a hand
It’s just…sometimes this world…I don’t ever want to get like that
How’d you ever come to get like that?
I swore I’d never want to get like that again… but here I am
