1. THE BALLAD OF MONA LISA

She paints her fingers with a close precision
He starts to notice empty bottles of gin
And takes a moment to assess the sins she’s paid for

A lonely speaker in a conversation
Her words are swimming through his ears again
There’s nothing wrong with just a taste of what you’ve paid for

Say what you mean, tell me I’m right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign, I want to believe

Woah, Mona Lisa
You’re guaranteed to run this town
Woah, Mona Lisa
I’d pay to see you frown

He senses something, call it desperation
Another dollar, another day
And if she had the proper words to say, she would tell him
But she’d have nothing left to sell him

Say what you mean, tell me I’m right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign, I want to believe

Woah, Mona Lisa
You’re guaranteed to run this town
Woah, Mona Lisa
I’d pay to see you frown

Mona Lisa
Wear me out
Pleased to please ya
Mona Lisa
Wear me out

Say what you mean, tell me I’m right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign, I want to believe

Woah, Mona Lisa
You’re guaranteed to run this town
Woah, Mona Lisa
I’d pay to see you frown

Say what you mean, tell me I’m right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign, I want to believe

There’s nothing wrong with just a taste of what you’ve paid for


2. LET'S KILL TONIGHT

If I retreat
Words, wars, and symphonies
Make room we're taking over here
And you're the galantine
Cold and alone, it suits you well
Won't find me perching here again

May your feet serve you well
And the rest be sent to Hell
Where they always have belonged
Cold hearts brew colder songs
Fate will play us out
With a song of pure romance
Stomp your feet and clap your hands

Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!

May your feet serve you well
And the rest be sent to Hell
Where they always have belonged
Cold hearts brew colder songs
Fate will play us out
With a song of pure romance
Stomp your feet and clap your hands

Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type

Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!


3. HURRICANE

Are you worth your weight in gold?
Cause your behind my eyelids when I'm all alone
Hey stranger, I want you, to catch me like a cold (achoo!).
You and God both got the guns, when you shoot I think I'd duck.

I led the revolution in my bedroom and I set all the zippers free.
We said "no more war"
No more clothes, give me peace
Oh kiss me!

Hey! Hey! We are a hurricane!
Drop our anchors in the storm.
Hey! They will never be the same,
A fire in a flask to keep us warm.
Cause they know, I know
That they don't look like me.
Oh, they know, I know
That they don't sound like me.

You'll dance to anything!
You'll dance to anything!

Oh I'd confess, I'd confess, in a room where I'm blessed

Cause he didn't come and speak to me,
Or put my heart at ease.
And I believe that half the time
I am a wolf among the sheep
Gnawing at the wool over my eyes.

I led the revolution in my bedroom and I set all the zippers free.
We said "no more war"
No more clothes, give me peace
Oh kiss me!

Hey! Hey! We are a hurricane!
Drop our anchors in the storm.
Hey! They will never be the same,
A fire in a flask to keep us warm.
Cause they know, I know
That they don't look like me.
Oh, they know, I know
That they don't sound like me.

You'll dance to anything!
You'll dance to anything!
You'll dance to anything!
You'll dance to anything!

Fix me, or conflict me.
I'll take anything.
Fix me, or just conflict me.
Cause I'll take anything.

Hey! Hey! We are a hurricane!
Drop our anchors in the storm.
Hey! They will never be the same,
A fire in a flask to keep us warm.
Cause they know, I know
That they don't look like me.
Oh, they know, I know
That they don't sound like me.

You'll dance to anything!
You'll dance to anything!


4. MEMORIES

He was the Congregation’s vagrant
With an unrequited love
When your passion’s exultation,
Then finding refuge is not enough
She was the youngest of the family
And the last to be let go.
They decided they would try
And make it on their own

Oh, memories, where’d you go?
You were all I’ve ever known.
How I miss yesterday
And I let it fade away
Where’d you go?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

When July became December
Their affection fought the cold,
But they couldn’t quite remember
What inspired them to go.
And it was beautifully depressing
Like A Streetcar named Desire
They were fighting for their love
That started growing tired

Oh, memories, where’d you go?
You were all I’ve ever known.
How I miss yesterday
And I let it fade away
Don't fade away!

Money lost momentum
And the bills were piling high
Then the smile, it finally faded
From the apple of their eye
And they were young and independent,
And they thought they had it planned
Should’ve known right from the start
You can’t predict the end.

Oh, memories, where’d you go?
You were all I’ve ever known.
How I miss yesterday
And I let it fade away
Oh, memories, where’d you go?
You were all I’ve ever known.
How I miss yesterday
And I let it fade away
Don't fade away!


5. TRADE MISTAKE

Placing a smile at the perfect event,
Gracing your skin with the side of my hand,
If I ever leave, I could learn to miss you,
But sentimental boy is my nom de plume.

Let me save you, hold this rope.

I may never sleep tonight,
As long as you're still burning bright,
If I could trade mistakes for sheep,
Count me away before you sleep,
I'll still wait 'til I trade my mistakes
So they fade away.

I feel marooned in this body,
Deserted my organs, could go on without me,
You can't fly these wings,
You can't sleep in this box with me,

Let me save you, hold this rope.

I may never sleep tonight,
As long as you're still burning bright,
If I could trade mistakes for sheep,
Count me away before you sleep,
I'll still wait 'til I trade my mistakes
So they fade away.

So let me save you, hold this rope,
And I'll pull you in,
'Cause I am an anchor, save her,
Oh, I feel it sinking in,
Let me save you, hold this rope,
I am an anchor sinking her.
(ho, oh, oh, oh)

I may never sleep tonight,
As long as you're still burning bright.

If I could trade mistakes for sheep,
Count me away before you sleep,
I'll still wait 'til I trade my mistakes
So they fade away.


6. READY TO GO (GET ME OUT OF MY MIND)

Oh uoohhhhhhh [x4]

You got these little things that you've been running from
You either love it or I guess you don't
You're such a pretty thing to be running from anyone a vision with nowhere to go

7. ALWAYS

When the world gets too heavy
Put it on my back
I’ll be your levy
You are taking me apart
Like bad glue on a get well card

It was always you falling for me
Now there’s always time calling for me
I’m the light blinking at the end of the road
Blink back to let me know

I’m a fly that’s trapped in a web
But I’m thinking that my spider’s dead
Lonely, lonely little life
I could kid myself by thinking that I’m fine

It was always you falling for me
Now there’s always time calling for me
I’m the light blinking at the end of the road
Blink back to let me know

That I’m skin and bone
Just a cane and rusty throne
All the castle’s under siege
But the sign outside says 'leave me alone'

It was always you falling for me
Now there’s always time calling for me
I’m the light blinking at the end of the road
Blink back to let me know
Blink back to let me know


8. THE CALENDAR

Only for you only for you)

It said if you don't let it out
You're gonna let it eat you away
I'd rather be a cannibal, baby
Animals like me don't talk anyway

Feel like an ambulance
Chaser of fate
Pray I could replace her
Forget the way her tears taste
Oh, the way her tears taste

Put another ex on the calendar
Summer's on its deathbed
There is simply nothing worse
Than knowing how it ends
And I meant everything I said that night
I will come back to life
But only for you
Only for you

The world may call it a second chance
But when I came back it was more of a relapse
Anticipation is on the other line
And obsession called while you were out
Yeah it called while you were out

Put another ex on the calendar
Summer's on its deathbed
There is simply nothing worse
Than knowing how it ends
And I meant everything I said that night
I will come back to life
But only for you
Only for you

Asleep in the hive
I guess all the buzzing got to me
Well, I'm still alive
At night your body is a symphony
And I'm conducting

It said if you don't let it out
You're gonna let it eat you away

Put another ex on the calendar
Summer's on its deathbed
There is simply nothing worse
Than knowing how it ends
And I meant everything I said that night
I will come back to life
But only for you

Only for you(x5)


9. SARAH SMILES

I was fine just a guy living on my own
Waiting for the sky to fall
Then you called and changed it all, doll.

Velvet lips and the eyes to pull me in
We both know you'd already win
Mm, you're original sin

You fooled me once with your eyes now honey,
You fooled me twice with your lies, and I say,

Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care
She lives in a world so unaware
Does she know that my destiny lies with her?

(Sarah, Sarah Sarah Sarah, Oh Sarah, Sarah.)
Oh Sarah are you saving me.

Waking up to a kiss and you're on your way,
I really hope that you would stay
But you left and went your own way, babe.
I don't mind take your time, I've got things to do,
Besides sit around and wait for you
Oh and I hope you do too.

You fooled me once with your eyes now honey,
You fooled me twice with your lies, and I say,

Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care
She lives in a world so unaware
Does she know that my destiny lies with her?

Sarah, Oh Sarah, are you saving me?

And it's killing me inside
Consuming all my time, you've left me blind
And when I think I'm right you strip away my pride
You cast it all aside. But I say...

Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care.
She lives in a world so unaware
Does she know that my destiny lies with her?

(Sarah, Sarah Sarah Sarah, Oh Sarah, Sarah.)
Oh Sarah are you saving me


10. NEARLY WITCHES (EVER SINCE WE MET...)

(Kids, you have to remember I’m up here conducting you for a reason, okay?
Watch me, watch my fingers.
Here we go, ready?
Watch me.)

Dès le premier jour
Ton parfum enivra mon amour
Et dans ces instants
J’aimerais être comme toi par moment
Mais depuis ce jour
Je n’ai qu’un seul et unique regret


My wing tips waltz across naive
Wood floors they creak
Innocently down the stairs

Drag melody
My percussive feet serve cobweb headaches as a
Matching set of marching clocks
The slumbering apparitions
That they've come to wake up

(Do do do do do do do do do do)

Here I am composing a burlesque
Out of where they rest their necks
Sunken in their splintered cradles
And ramshackle hands
They asked for it (ahah)

As a girl
You have set your heart
On haunting me forever
From the start
It's never silent

Ever since we met
I only shoot up with your perfume
It's the only thing
That makes me feel as good as you do
Ever since we met
I've got just one regret to live through
And that one regret is you

How does a heart love, if no one has noticed
Its presence and where does it go?
Trembling hands play my heart like a drum,
But the beats gotten lost in the show

You have set your heart
On haunting me forever
From the start
It's never silent

Ever since we met
I only shoot up with your perfume
It's the only thing
That makes me feel as good as you do
Ever since we met
I've got just one regret to live through
And I regret never letting you go!

Ever since we met
I only shoot up with your perfume
It's the only thing
That makes me feel as good as you do
Ever since we met
I've got just one regret to live through
And that one regret is you

Mona Lisa pleased to please ya
(And that one regret is you)
Mona Lisa pleased to please ya
(And that one regret is you)
Mona Lisa pleased to please ya
(Ahhhhh)
