Best You Can Get

she's all crazy and shit
she shows off her tits
she's just a corn-fed white-bred chick
born in the right zip code
she comes with a gold card
and she'll never have to pay for it
what would she do without you
what would she do without you
what would she do
he's not afraid of the future
he's not off the platter
he's been handed a blank check
phi beta date rape ya
he sprung an agenda
and he's got a place to put it
what would he do without you
what would he do without you
what would he do without you
what would he do
is this the best that you can get
is this the best that you can get
is this the best that you can get
what did you expect
I'm not afraid of the ocean
afraid of devotion
and I got the balls to prove it
what would I do without you

Wet Suit

roll the dice
now I wipe the tears from the skies
play your hand
how I love my Marlboro Man
say your prayers
because you've got enemies everywhere
your wet suit
is keeping you warm (keeping you warm)
cold bed
I'll never be torn from you (never be torn from you)
try to
keep it together (keep it together)
you try your
best to forget her
silly me
always a sucker
for catastrophe
sympathy
seems to bring out the better in me
wish I knew
another way
to ruin the day with you
your wet suit
is keeping you warm (keeping you warm)
cold bed
I'll never be torn from you (never be torn from you)
try to (to)
keep it together (keep it together)
you try your
best to forget her
I just can't
leave you this way
when you're not ok
and trains will pass
through here someday
and take you away
but you won't let
me hit the ground
when my heart slows down
you wet suit
is keeping you warm (keeping you warm)
in your cold bed
I'll never be torn from you (I'll never be torn from you)
try to (to)
keep it together (keep it together)
you try to (keep it together)
ah ah
keep us together (keep us together)
ah ah
keep us together (keep us together)
ah ah
keep us together (keep us together)
ah ah
together (together)

Imperfectly

Officially Dead

I don't believe what you said
I can go anywhere
I can hold my breath up
I can breathe in the air
I'm not officially dead
I still have a heart
I'm not officially dead yeah
I still have a heart
do you remember the times you ride your bike by your house
I wanna know you so bad
know you inside and out
but you're officially dead
you don't have a heart
you're officially dead yeah
you don't have heart
you're officially dead
you don't have heart
you're officially dead
see me
feel me
touch me
heal me
leave me
for dead
(so was it easy
just to leave me
just to leave me for dead)
I know you can't let me go
it's all in your head
you want me back in your arms
want me back in your bed
but we're officially dead
we don't have a heart
we're officially dead yeah

Only You Know

don't thank me
for what you got
I've given you love
I've given you too much thought
don't blame me
for sinking the ship
you're a hopeless liar
and a hypocrite
only you know
only you know
only you know
only you know
don't thank me
for what you got
I've given you love
I've given you too much thought
don't shame me
for calling it quits
you're a hopeless cynic
I'm an optimist
only you know
only you know
only you know
only you know
don't hate me
for what you got
I've given you drugs
I've given you too much thought
don't blame me
for flunking the test
I would rather think that you
were honest
don't blame me
'cause you got caught
you've given me up
you've taken everything I got
those lies came
straight from your mouth
I never dreamed that you would
be a sellout
only you know
only you know
only you know
only you know
don't use me
as your last crutch
I've taken you in
I trusted you way too much
don't wear me
around your wrist
you should have thought it through
before you blew it
same day
same life
different person
your ghost my pride
perfect union
don't hate me
for what you got
I've given you love
I've given you too much thought
don't shame me
for sinking the ship
you're a hopeless liar
and a hypocrite
don't hate me
for what you're not
I'm aiming your gun
I'm lining up the perfect shot
don't waste me
for something stupid like this
I would rather die than take your bullet
only you know
only you know
(different person)

Disconnected

disconnected
is the way that I
wanted it to be
the Cult Electric
is my favorite
record of the week
'cause I'm not feeling sweet
but I can't say that
when everyone is so judgmental
and I can't playback
all the times when you
were gentle
'cause even you
can't be true
it's astounding
what love can
do to a city
Laurel Canyon
was the best place
for you and me to be
I chose the curtains
and I dreamed a dream
of domesticity
what a freak you
made of me
now I'm on Zoloft
because you told me
I was crazy
and I won't jump
'cause now I know
you won't catch me
and I can't leave you
because you swore
you'd never let me
but even you
talk shit too
it's January when I
jump the fence of your
backyard
finish the fairytale
that you were
drunk enough to start
it's kind of scary when your
lover leaves you
for a movie star
and I'm still in the dark
but you have trained me
watched my back
and dropped my standards
and you have shamed me
since the first time
you were with her
and you can't make me
love your band
or buy your records
'cause you have tainted
my respect
for your adventure
you will never have the
chance to trace my features
and you won't ever make me
feel like such a loser
and you can have the past
'cause I'm in love with
the future
I met a boy
who makes you look
so shallow
and there is so much time
and so much space
to travel
and will make the climb
(touch the sky)
and I will kiss the gravel

All Dressed Up

don't you see
I'm the one for you
you're for me
don't you see
the love I got
is the love you need
don't you see
I'm all dressed up
to be what you want me to be
I'm all dressed up
to be what you want me to be
I'm all dressed up
all dressed up
all dressed up
don't you see
the infinite possibilities
don't you need
the kind love that I need
don't you see me
I'm all dressed up
to be what you want me to be
I'm all dressed up
to be what you taught me to be
I'm all dressed up
all messed up
all messed up
but you don't even notice me
moving you like a ton of glacier
you don't even notice me
soothing you like a long-lost sister
and you don't even care
no you don't even care
all dressed up with no place to go
but home
I'm all dressed up
to be what you want me to be
I'm all dressed up
to be what you want me to be
I'm all dressed up
all dressed up
all dressed up
but you don't even comfort me
you carry on with the will of Samson
you don't even comfort me
you keep your faith
and you keep your phantoms
and you don't even care
no you don't even care
all dressed up
still there's something wrong
I'm all dressed up
and you're just a song
I'm all dressed
you're forever gone
everlong

Used To Know Her

I used to know her
I used to talk about her
waiting for the day when she
would listen
I used to know her
I used to stick up for her
something in her smile was
so bitchin
I used to sing
I used to sing
I used to know her
I used to know all about her
I used to need her
there was something about her
I used to torch her
it's the best way around her
I used to know her
now it just doesn't matter
oh yeah
I used to fuck him
I used to simplify him
lying to my face with my
permission
I used to sing
I used to sing
I used to fuck him
used to fuckin love him
I used to need him
now I read all about him
I used to tough him
now I could never hiss him
I used to love him
now I don't even miss him
oh yeah
I used to know her
I used to terrify her
I used to terrify her
I used to terrify her
I used to terrify her
I used to terrify her
I used to terrify her
used to sing
I used to know her
used to know all about her
I used to need her
there was something about her
I'm used to torture
it's the best way around her
used to know her
now she just doesn't matter
oh yeah

Pretty Boys

last night I dreamt you were gay
it was all you needed to say
finally an answer for why you don't
want me that way
last year I slept in your arms
and slept right through the alarm
now you live in Virginia
alone on a farm
boys will be boys
boys will be boys
girls can't avoid pretty boys
last July I came untied
my trousers my bra and my pride
you were so confident
that I would let you inside
back of the bus in Berlin
that was the summer of sin
Brian and Richie
pounding a bottle of gin
liars and lovers
twin brothers
never win
boys will be boys
boys will be boys
girls can't avoid pretty boys
boys will be boys
boys will be boys
girls can't avoid pretty boys
no girls can't afford pretty boys
no girls can't avoid pretty boys

Hellraiser

weren't you the pilot
who fell from the sky
was it a big mistake
or just plain homicide
how does it feel on the other side
do you hang out with the saints
or the spies
are you still hellraising
are you still hellraising
hellraising
is this the kind of thing
we always fear
are you so bent on hell
you'd leave me up here
without you
God bless the miles
we traveled too fast
God help the suckers
dead in your path
are you still hellraising
are you still hellraising
hellraising
you will pay for your mistakes
you will pay for your mistakes
you will pay for your mistakes
you will pay
this love was born on crutches
crippled and bored
ripped out of sleep and strangled
by a phone cord
weren't you the pilot
who swerved off his course
was it disaster
or just divorce
hellraising
hellraising
are you still hellraising
hellraising
