Your form of currency is attention Said your goodbyes and you're gone To start a life in a different direction
Go, go and help yourself to them
I think that you're so insecure You're either down or down, down or down
So place me back on the shelf And take me down when you feel like crying I'm not about to be your suicide I see the part in you that you can't hide
Go, go and help yourself to them
I think that you're so insecure You're either down or down, down or down
For years you were apple's eye, my only child, my little piece of heaven So I hardly noticed how the focus turned to borderline obsession I was never sure if we were all that we were thought to be I guess we never really seemed as happy as we could have been
You left a hole in this home Your form of currency is attention
Go, go and help yourself to them Run, run away now see if I care
I think that you're so insecure You're either down or down, down or down
You're so damn insecure you're either down or down, down or down

caught in a sea of rough diamonds if that's not enough imagine me if you were not here
Slow, slow in every language speak The strong absorb the weak I said alright it's all right here That's alright it's alright
You've got to walk away son, slowly
The blood of my brothers Was spilt on every others' soil The misery and the human toil I said alright it's all right here That's alright it's alright
You've got to walk away son, slowly You've got to walk away son, slowly You've got to walk away You've got to walk away son
You've got to walk away son, slowly You've got to walk away son, slowly You've got to walk away You've got to walk away son You've got to walk away Don't trust anyone
Good looking but you're out of place There's only one-way left We'll take the models but we'll leave the rest
Straighten your face Quicken your pace
I wouldn't sell my soul Those shoes you're wearing make your face look old They come in cherry red You wear them cheeky like your mama did
Straighten your face Quicken your pace
Exotica We're chasing all those pretty lies Live the good in life in Exotica But is that who you are? Exotica A world where dreams can come alive When you're deep inside Exotica But is it you?
She said she'll live forever in a fashion spread She's on the cover of the magazines her daddy read
Straighten your face Quicken your pace
Exotica We're chasing all those pretty lies Live the good in life in Exotica But is that who you are? Exotica A world where dreams can come alive When you're deep inside Exotica But is it you?
No i ain’t gonna wait in line Holding my hands at the side Look right
It's all gonna happen tonight
Ooo burn my eyes and scratch my face and kick me under ground But do you remember, I remember
Exotica We're chasing all those pretty lies Live the good in life in Exotica But now I’m home, now I’m home Exotica A world where dreams can come alive When you're deep inside Exotica Oh, now I’m home
Wait a minute tell me doctor does it seem everything's all ok
Feed me the medicine to keep me smiling And we can play All of those pretty little school girl subjects Come into my padded cell I made a promise not to hurt you and this face a lie would never tell You never know
This is a trust issue I don’t mean to sound mad Ask anyone Don’t trust anyone
And while we're on the topic of detention Living under lock and key All it takes is just a bad day baby to end up in captivity Throw away The sun rarely sees me See I’m running around inside See I’m strapped to a wall with eyes I’ve been here before Let me go
This is a trust issue I don’t mean to sound mad Ask anyone Don’t trust anyone
Don’t trust anyone Don’t trust anyone We're only having fun Don’t trust anyone Don’t trust anybody
Far away everything's AOK Console your friends Happy days, Happy days
This is a trust issue I don’t mean to sound mad Ask anyone Don’t trust anyone
To a town that I forgot And you can let me, let me down But baby why do you give up?
A soldier falls He's a warrior In the battle zone
When the bullets rip in to your heart We can drain your blood Not before you lay down all of your rules and such No kisses
Hands that feel hollow A symbol on a wall This isn’t healthy, healthy love But baby why did we give up?
A soldier falls He's a warrior In the battle zone
When the bullets rip in to your heart We can drain your blood Not before you lay down all of your rules and such No kisses
I surrender, I surrender you everything I give over my whole world of make believe After all in this world you could do much better You deserve much better then this, better then this, better then me
When the bullets rip in to your heart We can drain your blood Not before you lay down all of your rules and such No kisses
A force of habit A state of mind If we agree on anything I hope it's that we still want the good life A change of habit A change of clothes
Remember when we got caught stealing Remember when we had that feeling all the time And remember in New York City You asked me "Do you think I’m pretty now" all the time All the time
You're far away, far away
I’m on the corner checking out all the blue steel A force of habit A change of heart The sun rarely sees me and I’m running around at night And I’m running around to find I’ve heard this before
Remember when we got caught stealing Remember when we had that feeling all the time And remember in New York City You asked me "Do you think I’m pretty now" all the time All the time
You're far away, you are so far away
And in the end we're standing on different streets But in the end we know what we believe Remember?
Remember in New York City You asked me "Do you think I’m pretty now" all the time And remember when we got stealing I wish I could have that feeling all the time And remember in the Garden of Eden We thought we could have this freedom all our lives Or just one more time
Lean on me
Now you're far away, you are so far away You're far away, you are so far away
No sense and no excuse in philosophy Can I get my cable here, the land of nothing's free
There's nothing good on TV And nobody loves you like me You're not a part of this scene, she said Don’t take it personal
You're photogenic but you're ugly in life Oh no! She said don’t take it personal
Dramatic over load where we used to run This is not the kind of fun I'd trust my memory
There's nothing good on TV And nobody loves you like me You're not a part of this scene, she said Don’t take it personal
You're photogenic but you're ugly inside Oh no! Can you see me through the mud in your eyes It's alright, much better if we try Nobody wins She said, don’t take it personal
But you're still breathing Still sorry, still documenting your still life Still kissing, still wishing good luck to enemies
There's nothing good on TV And nobody loves you like me You're not a part of this scene Don’t take it personally I’m alone but I’m a part of the world You're just a spoilt little girl Take me away if you could She said, don’t take it personal
You're photogenic but you're ugly in life Don’t take it personal Can you see me through the mud in your eyes Don’t take it personal You're photogenic but you're ugly inside Oh no She said, don’t take it personal

Man with a gun keep walking on lightly This lazy student be a part of the act Coming on strong You said nothing You said nothing at all
Instead of waiting I'll be counting to ten Patience will end, man I’ve been worried And I’ve been letting lies dictate my acts Finding the facts oh so disappointing
All you common fools We are breaking every rule that ever stood So much that I have lost all of my friends Satisfy this man, satisfy him He'll be coming to get ya
The kamikaze pilot causes the crash Man he's got class Loves these Japanese ladies And I’ve been letting lies dictate my acts Finding the facts oh so disappointing
All you common fools We are breaking every rule that ever stood So much that I have lost all of my friends Satisfy this man, satisfy him He'll be coming to get ya
I don’t want you to show me the way That’s your life and this is my pain No matter what they tell you it’s never the truth Always trying to take away the blanket of youth
So be there as only you can No mystery, it's part of my plan No matter what they tell you it's never the truth
Only this time, only this time, only this time Is this so, is this so
Well there's danger around in the air Its poisoning but we don’t care No matter what they tell you it’s never the truth Only this time, only this time, only this time Is this so, is this so
I don't, I don't wanna see you hanging, Pieces falling from my head now, It's hard to imagine I don't, I don't wanna see you hanging, Pieces falling from my head now, It's hard to imagine Why don't you go away? Double this one, For all the times you sang, Why not , Hey what do you think? Silly question, Soon as I've seized the day I don't, I don't wanna see you hanging, Pieces falling from my head now, It's hard to imagine Why don't you go away? Double this one, For all the times you sang, Why not , Hey what do you think? Silly question, Soon as I've seized the day Couldn't anybody ever know? Couldn't anybody ever know? Couldn't anybody ever know? Couldn't anybody- Why don't you go away? Double this one, For all the times you sang Why not , Hey what do you think? Silly question, Soon as I've seized the day Why don't you go away? Double this one, For all the times you sang, Why not , Hey what do you think? Silly question, Soon as I've seized the day…
