Failure to comply
That is what you're known for
Hands up to the skies
Like an airplane, bulletproof

What is it you're looking for
What is it that leaves you wanting more
Will you ever fight for me
Will you ever love someone other than you

All you do is pray for me
My hands they tend to shake
What do you expect from me
My grip it slips away

This whole time I've been here
Your own mood it sets the tone
What do you expect from me
We've got a lot to lose

Absent to defend
All the ones you cared for
Lost 'em to the world
Like an earthquake, split in two

Who is it you want to be
Who is it you want me to believe
When will you admit the truth
When will you accept someone other than you

All you do is pray for me
My hands they tend to shake
What do you expect from me
My grip it slips away

This whole time I've been here
Your own mood it sets the tone
What do you expect from me
We've got a lot to lose

All you do is pray for me
My hands they tend to shake
What do you expect from me
My grip it slips away

This whole time I've been here
Your own mood it sets the tone
What do you expect from me
We've got a lot to lose

Preachers cherry-pick gossip like violets
Vilify stars like a nihilist
Cannot win them all (they might just)
Mistake jealousy for judging one's taste
Praising sarcophagus, art's sake
Diamond in the rough
Juggernaut faces wilt and decay
I know by and by I'll be replaced
But before I reach that event in time
I'll rearrange your-

Common sense don't
Apprehend those that make everything about their lives
And I'll bet if you met me, you'd regret me
Because I'm probably not on your side
Don't think about it, you're making a change
The world's a better-
And if your talent consists of do-re's
I'd ask you kindly-

Preachers cherry-pick gossip like violets
Vilify stars like a nihilist
Cannot win them all (they might just)
Mistake jealousy for judging one's taste
Praising sarcophagus art's sake
Diamond in the rough
Juggernaut faces wilt and decay
I know by and by I'll be replaced
But before I reach that event in time
I'll rearrange your-

They come from every state to find
Some dreams were meant to be declined
Tell the man what did you have in mind
What have you come to do?

No turning water into wine
No learning while you're in the line
I'll take you to the broken sign
You see these lights are blue

Come and get it
Lost it at the city limit
Say goodbye
'Cause they will find a way to trim it
Everybody
Lookin' for a silly gimmick
Gotta get away
Can't take it for another minute

This town is made of many things
Just look at what the current brings
So high, it's only promising
This place was made on you

Tell me, baby, what's your story
Where you come from
And where you wanna go this time?
Tell me, lover, are you lonely?
The thing we need is
Never all that hard to find
Tell me, baby, what's your story
Where do you come from
And where you wanna go this time?
You're so lovely, are you lonely?
Giving up on the innocence you left behind

Some claim to have the fortitude
Too shrewd to blow the interlude
Sustaining pain to set a mood
Step out to be renewed

I'll move you like a baritone
Jungle brothers on the microphone
Getting over with an undertone
It's time to turn to stone

Chitty chitty, baby
When your nose is in the nitty gritty
Life could be a little sweet
But life could be a little shitty
What a pity
Boston and a Kansas city
Looking for a hundred
But you only ever found a fitty

Three fingers in the honeycomb
You ring just like a xylophone
Devoted to the chromosome
The day that you left home

Tell me, baby, what's your story
Where you come from
And where you wanna go this time?
Tell me, lover, are you lonely?
The thing we need is
Never all that hard to find
Tell me, baby, what's your story
Where you come from
And where you wanna go this time?
You're so lovely, are you lonely?
Giving up on the innocence you left behind

Tell me, baby, what's your story
Where you come from
And where you wanna go this time?
Tell me, lover, are you lonely?
The thing we need is
Never all that hard to find
Tell me, baby, what's your story
Where you come from
And where you wanna go this time?
You're so lovely, are you lonely?
Giving up on the innocence you left behind
