You're attractive, little witch, you're beautiful (Beautiful)
And your wickedness', little witch, it broke my heart (I broke your heart)
Enchanting words, little witch, you've cast a spell (I cast my spell)
Mass destroyer, little witch, my beautiful apocalypse

You've got me bewitched 'cause I'm under your spell
Woah-oh-oh
You must be a witch 'cause I am living in hell
Woah-oh-oh
Now is the time, now is the hour
I am the magic, I am the power, oh
All I need is one star in the sky
Wish for you every night

I tricked you to fall in love, little boy
I played with you 'til I was done like a toy (Like a toy)
Your heart in love as I destroy the end of you (The end of me)
So easily fooled, little boy to think it's true (I'm in love with you)

You've got me bewitched 'cause I'm under your spell
Woah-oh-oh
You must be a witch 'cause I am living in hell
Woah-oh-oh
Now is the time, now is the hour
I am the magic, I am the power, oh
All I need is one star in the sky
Wish for you every night

Now is the time, now is the hour
To take back my heart, to take back my power
This is the moment to break your spell
I see right through you, now burn in hell
Now is the time, now is the hour
To take back my heart, to take back my power
This is the moment to break your spell
I see right through you, now burn in hell
Now is the time, now is the hour
To take back my heart, to take back my power
This is the moment to break your spell
I see right through you... (Burn in hell, witch)

You've got me bewitched 'cause I'm under your spell
Woah-oh-oh
You must be a witch 'cause I am living in hell
Woah-oh-oh
Now is the time, now is the hour
I am the magic, I am the power, oh
All I need is one star in the sky
Wish for you every night

P. L. U. R
Peace, love, unity, respect
These are all the things that I will never forget

No hate, just party and play
Let the lights hypnotize my brain
Just dance like it's my last chance to be alive
Tonight's the night

I don't have to fight for my right
'Cause everybody knows I live for the rave
But I do need a longer string for my kite
'Cause everybody knows I'm high all day
I'm high on life 'cause this is what I breath
Party, party, party, everyday, all week
P.L.U.R's what I stand for out on the floor
No one can judge me

Don't judge me, just love me
I'm not a criminal, I'm innocent
So come and set me free
I choose ecstasy and musics my religion
Magic is my kingdom and the dancefloor is my heaven
I get P.L.U.R (Woo-hoo!)
I get P.L.U.R (Woo-hoo!)
I get P.L.U.R

Start to lose all control
Of my mind, body and soul
Feel the vibe like it's my last chance to be alive
Tonight's the night

I don't have to fight for my right
'Cause everybody knows I live for the rave
But I do need a longer string for my kite
'Cause everybody knows I'm high all day
I'm high on life 'cause this is what I breath
Party, party, party, everyday, all week
P.L.U.R's what I stand for out on the floor
No one can judge me

Don't judge me, just love me
I'm not a criminal, I'm innocent
So come and set me free
I choose ecstasy and musics my religion
Magic is my kingdom and the dancefloor is my heaven
I get P.L.U.R (Woo-hoo!)
I get P.L.U.R (Woo-hoo!)
I get P.L.U.R
(Peace, love, unity, respect
These are all the things that I will never forget)
I get P.L.U.R

Music my drug
There's love in the club

I don't have to fight for my right
'Cause everybody knows I live for the rave
But I do need a longer string for my kite
'Cause everybody knows I'm high all day
I'm high on life 'cause this is what I breath
Party, party, party, everyday, all week
P.L.U.R's what I stand for out on the floor
No one can judge me

Don't judge me, just love me
I'm not a criminal, I'm innocent
So come and set me free
I choose ecstasy and musics my religion
Magic is my kingdom and the dancefloor is my heaven
I get P.L.U.R (Woo-hoo!)
I get P.L.U.R (Woo-hoo!)
I get P.L.U.R
(Peace, love, unity, respect
These are all the things that I will never forget)
I get P.L.U.R

I see those hips rollin'
Like the rims on a Bugatti
Sweat dripping from her lips
To her tits onto her body
And I heard she has a man
She still wants to get naughty
She told me I was her type
And I told that bitch to call me
I don't want to hit and quit it
But I'd like if you spit and sit it
Maybe lean back
Watch you rock that ass
Maybe let a real man hit it
Watch her ride that pole
With no plans of helping to stop it
I see the look in her eyes
I can see that she wants it

X times 3
We're getting undressed
Bodies against me
And it's getting wet
X times 3
Just move with me
I don't want your love
Just your body
Can you feel it
On the edge of your seat
Can you feel it
Just lose yourself to the beat

I wanna see your hands
I wanna see you dance
Put your hands on me
Come dance with me
Now drop that ass
And drop that beat
Now what I gotta do
To get you home with me
I don't care, boy or girl
Just want you in my mouth please sir
Hello Mr. Right now
I'm holdin' it down like
If dancing is the movement
Then I am the creator
I shake my ass
I bring it back
I don't fuck with the haters
And if you leave me satisfied
I'll add you to the list
If you talk shit
I'll make your lips
Deep throat my fist

Can you feel it
On the edge of your seat
Can you feel it
Just lose yourself to the beat
Can you feel it
On the edge of your seat
Can you feel it

X times 3
We're getting undressed
Bodies against me
And it's getting wet
X times 3
Just move with me
I don't want your love
Just your body
Can you feel it
On the edge of your seat
Can you feel it
Just lose yourself to the beat

Do you wanna play with me
I will show you ecstasy
Do you wanna play with me
I will be your
Anybody

X times 3
We're getting undressed
Bodies against me
And it's getting wet
X times 3
Just move with me
I don't want your love
Just your body
Can you feel it
On the edge of your seat
Can you feel it
Just lose yourself to the beat
Can you feel it
On the edge of your seat
Can you feel it
Just lose yourself to the beat

Ain't no bang like our bass
Cause you know we're gonna rock
Ain't no hype like our party
Cause our party never stops
Ain't no bang like our bass
Cause you know we're gonna rock
Ain't no hype like our party
Cause our party never stops

Disease, I fell to sleep on my knees
I bit my tongue off in time for a brunch
Or a 4 course meal touch, just to bleed
But I won't let you down
In heat, I'm a cart in the corner
A benefit concert for eating disorders
But nothing has changed and yet
Nothing will stay the same

Plant the seeds within the weeds
Plant the seeds

Disease, I fell to sleep on my needs
I missed your face from the moment
I lied, from the first tear you cried
Now I'm begging and pleading
But nothing is working
I bleed, I planted every last seed
I water daily but nothing is growing
There's no change worth showing
I've fallen apart, I've rolled up in the corner to die

Here's a little toast to you leaving me all alone, bleeding
And here's another toast to you giving up all you own, dreaming

Here's a little toast to you leaving me all alone, bleeding
And here's another toast to you giving up all you own, dreaming

Well, you've made out on this last crime…
Like a thief in the night selling crack part time
But I know your beliefs well surpass mine
And I know I'm a whore on the block with a dime
Weighing light, just a knife in my pocket
And a heart like a stone, spending all my nights
Trying my best to distinguish your reasons
Trying my best to distinguish wrong from right

Here's a little toast to you leaving me all alone, bleeding
And here's another toast to you giving up all you own, dreaming

Here's a little toast to you leaving me all alone, bleeding
And here's another toast to you giving up all you own, dreaming

And I'll say
Well, I'll say
Yes, I'll say it again

You're a crutch for my life, it's alright
Treating all my desperate thinking
I'm offering my life, I'm alright
I'll bleed myself with lack of meaning

Here's a little toast to you leaving me all alone, bleeding
And here's another toast to you giving up all you own, dreaming

Here's a little toast to you leaving me all alone, bleeding
And here's another toast to you giving up all you own, dreaming

Here's a little toast to you leaving me all alone
And here's another toast to you giving up all you own

Here's a little toast to you leaving me all alone
And here's another toast to you giving up all you own

Hey, Allie
Can't we make it through the night?
I'm all dried up, won't you give up, give it to me?
I've been thinking that things could be alright
You're all dried up
But my lust can't drown this morning sorrow

You see the words as they play in the most glorious way
And speak of nothing
You see a bird in the sky and preach of learning
To fly, but it means nothing

Allie
I hope you know it's true
I've never met another girl like you
And it's hard to repeat just what's been bothering me
Well, sometimes I find that broken is cute

Burn
I've got you right where I want
I've gotten all that I need
I've gotten sick of these games that we play

Staring in your eyes
Has never brought such tension to my tainted mind
And I can barely lift my words
It seems nothing important if it doesn't hurt

God I've been touched with melancholy
After tonight it won't be the same
But I never dream for reason behind your interpretation
What it is to fall in love
And what it is to care about
Anything I heard from your tendencies

I'm at a lost for words
I manage to mumble
The words were mold over time
And I cry, cried

Maybe you'll find an answer in what's left behind
And hopefully you'll see
There's not always love growing from every tree
Maybe you'll find a way
To rewind to forgive with time

And hopefully you'll see it's not always cold in Buffalo

Maybe you'll find an answer in what's left behind
And hopefully you'll see
There's not always love growing from every tree
Maybe you'll find a way
To rewind to forgive with time

And maybe you'll see it's not always cold in Buffalo

Another day
Another prayer to reach one ear
And fade away
Another torn up photograph
Wrapped tight in flames
I've built my lies on promises, I'll never make
I'm caught up for some reason

We sail the sea together
Searching for a light
We sail through stormy weather
Well that depends on you

We sail the sea together
Searching for a light
We sail through stormy weather
Well that depends on you

Another day
Another prayer it sounds severe
To say : I'm saved
Another torn up photograph
I watched it fade
I never knew the weight would cause my heart to break
When living isn't half as easy

We sail the sea together
Searching for a light
We sail through stormy weather
Well that depends on you

We sail the sea together
Searching for a light
We sail through stormy weather
Well that depends on you

Another day
Another broken home
I've got myself to blame
I never knew the weight would cause my
Heart to break
Cause my heart to break

We sail the sea together
Searching for a light
We sail through stormy weather
Together

We sail the sea together
Searching for a light
We sail through stormy weather
Well that depends on you
We sail the sea together
Searching for a light
We sail through stormy weather
Well that depends on you

We sail the sea together
Searching for a light
We sail through stormy weather
Well that depends on you

We sail the sea together
Searching for a light
We sail through stormy weather
Together?

Every word you said and every time you bled it out...
(that's what I'm talking about...)
As she slept in the bed next to me…
Misery in the morning
(come the morning..)
I'll hate this
(yea I'll hate this)
Well I'll hate this
(but I won't hate this and oh my god )
What's wrong with my head
When everything I ever wanted just can't hit the spot?

The thought of me swimming in you like the sea...
Makes me melt..
Makes me melt into one giant mess of a man…
Feeding this plan...
It's something I could live without

The thought of me running the tip of my insecure hand across your hips
It will never make sense but it feeds these desires
My lungs wouldn't work without playing with fire

Why can't you see?
I can offer something, something I swear you would never want
Take it from me…
This feeling in my gut, this lust, it's fading more with every touch

O…
Dear God, I'm empty
And it's become quite obvious to me
This is the calm before the unsettled storm
This lighthouse lies in ruins, what am I waiting for?

Take me man of lust
Dust to dust
Won't you breathe life in my lungs
Chance me, heart of stone
All alone
Take this shell of a man I've become

I've burnt out, I've dried out
I've changed into somebody
I've burnt out, I've dried out
I've changed into somebody
I don't want to be

Take me man of lust
Dust to dust
Won't you breathe life in my lungs
Chance me, heart of stone
All alone
Take this shell of a man I've become

I know I am sick and I'm glad to admit
That I don't want to burn every bridge you've built
And deep inside a wandering eye consumes

I know I am sick and I'm glad to admit
That I don't want to burn every bridge you've built
And deep inside a wandering eye consumes

Take me man of lust
Dust to dust
Won't you breathe life in my lungs
Chance me, heart of stone
All alone
Take this shell of a man I've become

Take me man of lust
Dust to dust
Won't you breathe life in my lungs
Chance me, heart of stone
All alone
Take this shell of a man I've become

I'm not giving up this time
Well, say that you're mine
I'd be lost without you
Lost in dreams of compromise
Sick, saddened mind
Sometimes I'm wrapped in sorrow

She said, calm down, get in down
I think it's been said
I can't give enough, can't build love baby
Imagine

She'll say
I'm not the one to chase your demon away
I'm not the one who left you stranded and cold
Left your heart with these holes

I'll just say
I can't fix this, I'm nothing, I'm nothing

I've been wrong, I don't want to give up
I just want to keep you next to me
Hold me close, let these words unfold into a beautiful tranquil melody

Give me your heartache, give me your love baby
Give me your heart and wrap it tightly
Give me your heartache and all of your trust
Give me your reasons to hold on to me

It's been rough, you could never give me enough
You could never give enough to me
I've been wrong, but it's too far gone
Let my actions ring volumes for the words I can't speak

I've been so lonely without your body

Yeah, what you critics said would never happen
We dedicate this album to anybody people said couldn't make it
To the fans that held us down 'til everybody came around
Welcome, it's here

Last summer, we took threes across the board
But by fall, we were a cover story, "Now in stores"

Make us poster boys for your scene
But we are not making an acceptance speech
I found the safest place to keep all our old mistakes
Every dot com's refreshing for a journal update

So long live the car crash hearts
Cry on the couch, all the poets come to life
Fix me in forty-five
So long live the car crash hearts
Cry on the couch, all the poets come to life
Fix me in forty-five

I can take your problems away with a nod and a wave
Of my hand, 'cause that's just the kind of boy that I am

The only thing I haven't done yet is die
And it's me and my plus one at the afterlife
Crowds are won and lost and won again
But our hearts beat for the diehards

So long live the car crash hearts
Cry on the couch, all the poets come to life
Fix me in forty-five
So long live the car crash hearts
Cry on the couch, all the poets come to life
Fix me in forty-five

Long live the car crash hearts
(Long live the car crash hearts)
Long live the car crash hearts
(Long live the car crash hearts)

Long live the car crash hearts
Cry on the couch and all the poets come to life
Fix me in forty-five, hehe, woo

Young, FOB
Let's go

Baby, seasons change, but people don't, and
I'll always be waiting in the back room
I'm boring, but overcompensate with
Headlines and flash, flash, flash photography

But don't pretend you ever forgot about me
Don't pretend you ever forgot about me

Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee?
Style your wake for fashion magazines
Widow or a divorcee?
Don't pretend, d-d-d-don't pretend

We don't fight fair
We don't fight fair

They say your head can be a prison
Then these are just conjugal visits
People will dissect us till
This doesn't mean a thing anymore

Don't pretend you ever forgot about me
Don't pretend you ever forgot about me

Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee?
Style your wake for fashion magazines, oh-oh-oh
Widow or a divorcee?
Don't pretend, d-d-d-don't pretend

We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces
We're trapped and well concealed in secret places, oh-woah
We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces
We're trapped and well concealed in secret places

We don't fight fair
We don't fight fair
We don't fight fair
We don't fight fair
We don't fight fair...

We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces
We're trapped and well concealed in secret places, oh-woah
We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces
We're trapped and well concealed in secret places

We don't fight fair, with smiles on our faces
We're trapped and well concealed in secret places
We don't fight fair (Don't pretend you ever forgot about me)
We don't fight fair (Don't pretend you ever forgot about me)
We don't fight fair

I am an arms dealer, fitting you with
Weapons in the form of words
And don't really care which side wins
Long as the room keeps singing, that's just the business I'm in

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
I'm not a shoulder to cry on, but I digress

I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate (Do-do-do-do-do)
Oh so intricate, yeah (Do-do-do-do-do-do)
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate (Do-do-do-do-do)
Oh so intricate, yeah (Do-do-do-do-do-do)

I wrote the gospel on giving up
(You're looking pretty sinking)
But the real bombshells have already sunk
(Prima donnas of the gutter)
At night, we're painting your trash gold while you sleep
Crashing not like hips or cars, no, more like p-p-p-parties

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
Bandwagon's full, please catch another

I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate (Do-do-do-do-do)
Oh so intricate, yeah (Do-do-do-do-do-do)
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate (Do-do-do-do-do)
Oh so intricate, yeah (Do-do-do-do-do-do)

Woah-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Do-do-do-do-do)
Whoo

All the boys who the dance floor didn't love
And all the girls whose lips couldn't move fast enough
Sing until your lungs give out

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race (Now you)
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race (Wear out the groove)
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race (Sing out loud)
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race (Oh, oh)
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race

I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate (Do-do-do-do-do)
Oh so intricate, yeah (Do-do-do-do-do-do)
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate (Do-do-do-do-do)
Oh so intricate (Do-do-do-do-do-do)

How cruel is the golden rule
When the lives we lived are only golden-plated?

And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me
Though I carried carats for everyone to see

And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies
And all the lovers with no time for me
And all of the mothers raise their babies
To stay away from me

Tongues on the sockets of electric dreams
Where the sewage of youth drowned the spark of my teens

And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me (Too heavy for me)
Though I carried carats for everyone to see (Everyone to see)

And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies
And all the lovers with no time for me
And all of the mothers raise their babies
To stay away from me

And pray they don't grow up to be...

I'm gonna make it bend and break (It sent you to me without wings)
Say a prayer, but let the good times roll
In case God doesn't show (Let the good times roll, let the good times roll)
And I want these words to make things right
But it's the wrongs that make the words come to life
"Who does he think he is?"
If that's the worst you got better put your fingers back to the keys

One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories, even though they weren't so great
"He tastes like you, only sweeter"
One night, yeah, and one more time
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
"See, he tastes like you, only sweeter," oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Been looking forward to the future
But my eyesight is going bad
And this crystal ball
It's always cloudy except for (Except for)
When you look into the past (Look into the past)
One night stand (One night stand off)

One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories, even though they weren't so great
"He tastes like you, only sweeter"
One night, yeah, and one more time
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
"See, he tastes like you, only sweeter," oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

They say I only think in the form of crunching numbers
In hotel rooms, collecting page six lovers
Get me out of my mind
Get you out of those clothes
I'm a liner away
From getting you into the mood, woah

One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories, even though they weren't so great
"He tastes like you, only sweeter"
One night (Woah), yeah (Oh), and one more time
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
"See, he tastes like you, only sweeter," oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
One night and one more time (One more night, one more time)
Thanks for the memories, even though they weren't so great
"He tastes like you, only sweeter," oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
One night, yeah, and one more time (One more night, one more time)
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
"See, he tastes like you, only sweeter," oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh

Penny for your thoughts, but a dollar for your insides
Or a fortune for your disaster
I'm just a painter
And I'm drawing a blank

We only want to sing you to sleep
In your bedroom speakers, whoa-oh
We need umbrellas on the inside
Get me just right

They say quitters never win
But we walk the plank on a sinking ship
There's a world outside of my front door
That gets off on being down

Oh-oh, oh-oh

I could learn to pity fools as I'm the worst of all
And I can't stop feeling sorry
For myself
Whoa oh

We only want to sing you to sleep
In your bedroom speakers, whoa-oh
We need umbrellas on the inside
Get us right

They say quitters never win
But we walk the plank on a sinking ship
There's a world outside of my front door
That gets off on being down
They say quitters never win
But we walk the plank on a sinking ship
There's a world outside of my front door
That gets off on being down

We only want to sing you to sleep in your bedroom speakers
Whoa oh, we only want to sing you to sleep

They say quitters never win
But we walk the plank on a sinking ship
There's a world outside of my front door
That gets off on being down
They say quitters never win
But we walk the plank and we walk the plank
There's a world outside of my front door
That gets off on being down

We're broken down on memory lane, alone together, we're alone
We're broken down on memory lane, alone together, we're alone
Oh-oh, oh-oh...

I'm a stitch away from making it
And a scar away from falling apart, apart
Blood cells pixelate and eyes dilate
And the full moon pills got me out on the street at night

Cut it loose, watch you work the room
Cut it loose, watch you work the room
Cut it loose, watch you work the room
Cut it loose, watch you work the room

Oh, put love on hold, young Hollywood
Is on the other line
Her nose runs ruby red, Death's in a double bed
Singing songs that could only catch the ear of the desperate

Cut it loose, watch you work the room
Cut it loose, watch you work the room
Cut it loose, watch you work the room
Cut it loose...

I'm a stitch away from making it
And a scar away from falling apart, apart
Blood cells pixelate and eyes dilate
Kiss away young thrills and kills on the mouths of all my friends

Cut it loose, watch you work the room
Loose, watch you work the room
Cut it loose, watch you work the room
Ohhhh, whoa

I'm a stitch away, I'm a stitch away...

We take sour sips from life's lush lips
And we shake, shake, shake the hips in relationships
Stomp out this disaster town
You'll put your eyes to the sun and say, "I know
You're only blinding to keep back what the clouds are hiding"

And we might have started singing just a little soon
We're throwing stones at a glass moon

Whoa oh, we're so miserable and stunning
Whoa oh, love songs for the genuinely cunning, whoa oh

We keep the beat with your blistered feet
We bullet the words at the mockingbirds singing
Slept through the weekend, and dreaming
Of sinking with the melody of the cliffs of eternity
Got postcards from my former selves saying, "How you been?"

We might have said goodbyes just a little soon
(Stomp out this disaster town)
Robbing lips and kissing banks under this moon

Whoa oh, we're so miserable and stunning
Whoa oh, love songs for the genuinely cunning
Whoa oh, we're so miserable and stunning
Whoa oh, love songs for the genuinely cunning, whoa oh

It was ice cream headaches and sweet avalanche
When the pearls in our shells got up to dance
You call me a bad tipper of the cradle
Tired yawns for fawns on hunter's lawns
We're the has-beens of husbands
Sharpening the knives of young wives
Take two years and call me when you're better
Take teardrops of mine, find yourself wetter

Whoa oh, we're so miserable and stunning
Whoa oh, love songs for the genuinely cunning
Whoa oh, we're so miserable and stunning
Whoa oh, love songs for the genuinely cunning

I wrote a goodbye note in lipstick on your arm
When you passed out
I couldn't bring myself to call
Except to call it quits

Best friends, ex-friends 'til the end
Better off as lovers and not the other way around
Racing through the city, windows down
In the back of yellow checkered cars

Yo-ho-ho, whoa
Oh, yo-ho-ho, whoa
Yo-ho-ho, whoa
Oh, yo-ho-ho, whoa

This city says, "come hell or high water"
Well, I'm feeling hot and wet
I can't commit to a thing
Be it heart or hospital

Best friends, ex-friends 'til the end
Better off as lovers and not the other way around
Racing through the city, windows down
In the back of yellow checkered cars

Yo-ho-ho, whoa
Oh, yo-ho-ho, whoa
Yo-ho-ho, whoa
Oh, yo-ho-ho, whoa

The tombstones were waiting, they were half-engraved
They knew it was over, they just didn't know the date...
And I cast a spell over the west to make you think of me
The same way I think of you
This is a love song in my own way
Happily ever after below the waist

Best friends, ex-friends 'til the end
Better off as lovers
Racing through the city, windows down
In the back of yellow checkered cars

Yo-ho-ho, whoa
Oh, yo-ho-ho, whoa
Yo-ho-ho, whoa
Oh, yo-ho-ho, whoa

Best friends, ex-friends 'til the end (Yo-ho-ho, whoa)
Better off as lovers and not the other way around (Oh, yo-ho-ho, whoa)
(Yo-ho-ho) Ex-friends 'til the end (Whoa)
Better off as yo-ho-ho-oh

The D.A. is dressed to the nines
In the mirror, he practices all his lines
To his closing argument, twelve hearts beat in favor
I'm guessing that he read the morning paper
The headline reads "The man hangs"
But the jury doesn't

And everyone's looking for relief
United States versus disbelief
Mothers cast tears on both sides of the aisle
Clear your throat and face the world
The verdict falls like bachelors for bad luck girls
Only breathing with the aid of denial

Case open, case shut, but you could pay to close it like a casket
Baby boy can't lift his headache head, isn't it tragic?
Oh-oh

Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhh...

He glances at his peers sitting seven to twelve stacked
On one to six, the gallery is hushed...
Boys in three pieces dream of grandstanding and bravado
The city sleeps in a cell, notwithstanding what we all know
Hang on a rope or bated breath
Whichever you prefer

And everyone's looking for relief
A bidding war for an old flame's grief
The cause, the kid, the course, the charm, and the curse
Not a word that could make you comprehend
Too well dressed for the witness stand
The press prays for whichever headline's worse

Case open, case shut, but you could pay to close it like a casket
Baby boy can't lift his headache head, isn't it tragic?
Oh-oh

Fresh pressed suit and tie, unimpressed birds sing and die
Can talk my way out of anything
The foreman reads the verdict, "In the above entitled actions
We find the defendant guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty..."

Case open, case shut, but you could pay to close it like a casket
Baby boy can't lift his headache head, isn't it tragic?
Case open, case shut, but you could pay to close it like a casket
Baby boy can't lift his headache head, isn't it tragic?
Oh-oh

Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhh...

One is for envy and one just for spite
The cuts in my heart, they show in your eyes
Don't make it better, the twisting knife turns all by itself
Move on to someone else

Your self-liberation will leave this behind
Beyond slings and arrows that rain on our minds
You'll make it better, shake it off
It never mattered anyway

If we don't make it alive
Well, it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long

The banner you're waving is burning and red
It's blocking the sunlight that shines overhead
You against the world, diamonds and pearls
Voices inside you churn, watch the city burn

Your own liberation will leave them behind
All the slings and arrows that rain on your mind
Don't make it better, break it 'cause
It never mattered anyway

If we don't make it alive
Well, it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long

I... won't... calm... down...
The banner you're waving
Is burning and red
You against the world, diamonds and pearls
It never mattered, mattered, mattered
Anyway

If we don't make it alive
Well, it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long

I am the one, your help I've refused
You're offering hand just set off the fuse
I am the rock that pushes away
I gave up tomorrow to spite today and
Too proud to beg, too stubborn to try
I'd look in your face and spit in your eye
But I'm willing to find what's really inside
And show I am strong enough to

Trust in you
Trust in you
Trust in you
Pull me up
Quo modo, shadow to light
Quo modo‚ shadow to light
Quo modo‚ pull me up
Pull me up
'Cause I am ready

I am the one who blames only you
The flame in my eyes now blackens my view
I am the one who wanders alone
Darkness inside blocks how you've shone
Who tied the other end of my rope?
I want to move on, I want to have hope
So I'm willing to change, I'm going to try
To show I am strong enough to

Trust in you
Trust in you
Trust in you
Pull me up
Quo modo‚ shadow to light
Quo modo‚ shadow to light
Quo modo‚ pull me up
Pull me up
'Cause I am waiting

Strong enough to trust in you
Trust in you
Trust in you
Pull me up
Quo modo‚ shadow to light
Quo modo‚ shadow to light
Quo modo‚ pull me up
Pull me up
'Cause I am ready

Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time
And turning all against the one is an art that's hard to teach
Another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you step back in the line, a mob jumps to their feet

Now dance, fucker, dance, man, he never had a chance
And no one even knew it was really only you
And now you steal away, take him out today
Nice work you did, you're gonna go far, kid

With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives

Slowly outta line and drifting closer in your sight
So play it out, I'm wide-awake, it's a scene about me
There's something in your way and now someone is gonna pay
And if you can't get what you want, well, it's all because of me

Now dance, fucker, dance, man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew it was really only you
And now you lead the way, show the light of day
Nice work you did, you're gonna go far, kid (Trust deceived)

With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives

Now dance, fucker, dance, he never had a chance
And no one even knew it was really only you
And so dance, fucker, dance, I never had a chance
It was really only you

With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives
Clever alibis, Lord of the Flies
Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives

I am the one, camouflage and guns
Risk my life to keep my people from harm
Authority vested in me
I sacrifice with my brothers in arms

Through this doorway, what's on the other side?
Never knowin' exactly what I'll find
Locked and loaded, voices screaming "Let's go!"
Come on, do it, here we go!

(Oh) I'll take a life that others may live
Oh, that's just the way it goes
(Oh) I'll shut my eyes, it hammers in my head
Where it'll end, nobody knows
(Oh) I'll take a life, ten others may live
Oh, that's just the way it goes
(Oh) It's playing over and over in my head
Where it'll end, nobody knows

Stay the course, reasonable force
I believe I serve a greater good
Smoke and dust, enemies are crushed
Nothing left where a man once stood

Through this doorway, what's on the other side?
Never knowin' exactly what I'll find
Locked and loaded, voices screaming "Let's go!"
But I'm just doing what I'm told

(Oh) I'll take a life that others may live
Oh, that's just the way it goes
(Oh) I'll shut my eyes, it hammers in my head
Where it'll end, nobody knows
(Oh) I'll take a life, ten others may live
Oh, that's just the way it goes
(Oh) It's playing over and over in my head
Where it begins and where it'll end, nobody knows

Hey, go!
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Bang, bang, it hammers in my head
Bang, bang, it hammers in my head
Bang, bang, it hammers in my head
In my head, in my head

Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil for thou art with me
Locked and loaded, gonna find my truth now
I'm busting through, all hell breaks loose, and-a
(Woo-hoo!) And you can all hide behind your desks now
(Woo-hoo!) And you can cry, "Teacher, come help me!"
(Woo-hoo!) Through you all, my aim is true
My

(Woo-hoo!)
(Woo-hoo!) My aim is true
(Woo-hoo!)
My aim is true

How does it feel
When you have it all?
How can you live
With nothing at all?
Where do you run?
Where do you go?
The holes in your truth
Are starting to show

And the rain comes
And the world is on my head
Crave the sun
But I can't get out of bed

How can you take
Without giving back?
How does it work
When it's really cracked?
How does it feel?
(And no wonder hearts and minds have been won)
How does it feel?
(And I wonder how it's all come undone)

And the rain comes
And the world is on my head
Crave the sun
But I can't get out of bed

Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, you're sliding (Sliding)
Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, can't hide it
Tell me who do you see?
’Cause you look a lot like me

How can you take
Without giving back?
Who do you see?
’Cause you look a lot like me

Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, you're sliding (Sliding)
Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, can't hide it (Hide it)
Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, you're sliding (Sliding)
Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, can't hide it

And the rain comes
And the world is on my head
Crave the sun
But I can't get out of bed

Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, you're sliding (Sliding)
Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, can't hide it
Tell me who do you see?
’Cause you look a lot like me

You look a lot like me
You look a lot
You look a lot like me, ooh
You look a lot like me, ooh
You look a lot like me, ooh
You look a lot like me, ooh
You look a lot like me, ooh
You look a lot like me, ooh

When the day begins, all the guilt sinks in
And I look on the wreckage of the night
Though I try to break free, the cycle breaks me
Am I ever gonna see the light?
All the friends I've lost and the pain I've caused
Have never been enough just to make me stop
The lines I draw to look at myself
Are turning into somebody else

I know how this will end
But, I'm starting up again
Turned around, inside out
'Cause this way

Takes me nowhere (I can't, can't see a way out)
Takes me nowhere (I can't, can't see a way out)
Takes me nowhere (I can't, can't see a way out)
It beats me up
When I go there (I know I could start again)
When I go there (Oh no, here we go again)
Takes me nowhere (Oh no, here we go again)
It beats me up

Open on this scene, a familiar dream
Of you telling me what I already know
Though the truth seems near, you can't get there from here
But, you sure know where you're gonna go
As the rumor wind blows, my infamy grows
Seein' friends above and I hit another low
The picture I paint to look at myself
Is turning into somebody else

I know how this will end
But, I'm starting up again
Turned around, inside out
'Cause this way

Takes me nowhere (I can't, can't see a way out)
Takes me nowhere (I can't, can't see a way out)
Takes me nowhere (I can't, can't see a way out)
It beats me up
When I go there (I know I could start again)
When I go there (Oh no, here we go again)
Takes me nowhere (Oh no, here we go again)
It beats me up

Ah, ah

But, today, if I change
And stop digging my own grave
I will try to set things right
'Cause this way

Takes me nowhere (I can't, can't see a way out)
Takes me nowhere (I can't, can't see a way out)
Takes me nowhere (I can't, can't see a way out)
It beats me up
When I go there (I know I could start again)
When I go there (Oh no, here we go again)
Takes me nowhere (Oh no, here we go again)
It beats me up

Up

There's a moment in time, and it's stuck in my mind
Way back, when we were just kids
’Cause your eyes told the tale of an act of betrayal
I knew that somebody did

Oh, waves of time
Seem to wash away the scenes of our crimes
For you, this never ends

Can you stay strong? Can you go on?
Kristy, are you doing okay?
A rose that won't bloom, winter's kept you
Don't waste your whole life trying to get back what was taken away

Though the marks on your dress had been neatly repressed
I knew that something was wrong
And I should've spoke out, and I'm so sorry now
I didn't know, ’cause we were so young

Oh, clouds of time
Seem to rain on innocence left behind
It never goes away

Can you stay strong? Can you go on?
Kristy, are you doing okay?
A rose that won't bloom, winter's kept you
Don't waste your whole life trying to get back what was taken away

Oh, clouds of time
Seem to rain on innocence left behind
It never goes away
It never goes away

Can you stay strong? Can you go on?
Kristy, are you doing okay?
A rose that won't bloom, winter's kept you
Don't waste your whole life trying to get back what was taken away
Don't waste your whole life trying to get back what was taken away

Let's make this complicated
Thinking is overrated
We're busting out of this shitty little town, and
Green grass and colored lenses
Tear down these picket fences
Burn in our beds while the city lies sleeping

Why, oh, why
Are we starting up and going down?
And my, oh, my
Just the two of us in Nothingtown
Our superhero play
We'll leave this town today
Hold on tighter, with my lighter shining through

These city streets are burning
Rose red, your wheels are turning
Make me believe someday we could really leave, and
Blindfold a new direction
Stop asking better questions
Don't figure out that we're never getting out, and

Why, oh, why
Are we starting up and going down?
And my, oh, my
Just the two of us in Nothingtown
Our superhero play
We'll leave this town today
And I'll row it if you steer it
I'll yell until you hear it
Hold on tighter, with my lighter shining through

Why, oh, why
Are we starting up and going down?
And my, oh, my
Just the two of us in Nothingtown
Our superhero play
Our dreams get in the way
And I'll row it if you steer it
I'll yell until you hear it
Hold on tighter, with my lighter shining through

Still stuck in Nothingtown
Still stuck in Nothingtown
Come on, let's go

Now, I don't know, and it's hard to explain
But it seems like things are just kind of insane
Because the world is crying, but nobody's listening
So, please leave a message on my cell phone
I see bullets getting better, biblical weather
And that guy on TV is, like, a total asshole
Who are you wearing tonight?
Celebrity fundraiser, tight
Black ties making wrongs right
How's your social Band-Aid?

I don't know much, I don't know too much
But I know this: shit is fucked up

I guess it's all about the dream
The ends justify the means
I'm telling you, shit is fucked up
You know it's all about the dream
The ends justify the means

Now, thank God for the media for saving the day
Putting it all into perspective in a responsible way
With more celebrity news, typical bullshit views
I think we're losing this fight sponsored by Bud Light
And now, we're rocking the casbah and taking the flak
The genie's out of the bottle, and we can't put it back
All this stuff, it's overwhelming my brain
Can you see the storm coming? It's coming this way

I don't know much, I don't know too much
But I know this: shit is fucked up

I guess it's all about the dream
The ends justify the means
I'm telling you, shit is fucked up
You know it's all about the dream
The ends justify the means
Justify the means

Shopping sprees, RPGs, ecstasy, atrophy
Genocide, Pimp My Ride, politize, euphemize
Injustice everywhere, apathy, I don't care
Hurricanes, climate change, huh
Therapy, I won't tell, rehab and LOL
Worldwide calamity, TV reality
Euthanize, supersize, death squads and boob jobs
And VIP infamy, gratify instantly

I don't know much, I don't know too much
I don't know much, I don't know too much

I guess it's all about the dream
The ends justify the means
I'm telling you, shit is fucked up
You know it's all about the dream
The ends justify the means
The means, the means

Sag, wer hat wieder Bock aufn Beat? Schreibt keinen Text
Steppt an das Mic, rappt ein, klingt fresh, heh?
Cro (Cro), Cro (Cro), Cro (Cro)
Cro (Cro), Cro (Cro), Cro (Cro), Cro

Geht nach ein, zwei Tapes direkt in die Charts, heh?

Wieder mal ein Jahr und wieder mal ein Datum, wieder mal Erwartung'n übertroff'n
Wieder mal ein Jahr vorbei und wieder mal war niemand von den andern da, um den Typ zu stoppen
Hah, nein, ich denk' nicht nach, immer noch broke, keinen Cent gespart
Keinen Benz am Start, keinen Bentley da, aber wenn das hier so weiter geht, dann bin ich ungefähr (Hmm)
Nächstes Jahr ultrareich, doch ich gebe immer noch 'n Fick auf Zahl'n
Würde niemals irgendwelche Dinge dafür machen oder Sachen dafür sagen, die mir nicht gefall'n
Ey, lass mich raus, wache auf, Maske auf
Passt genau, Superheld, ich komm' in deine Gegend, alle rasten aus
Denn er ist der Junge, der die Dinge einfach sagt wie sie sind und er nimmt nie 'n Blatt vor den Mund
Und alle, die mir immer noch im Weg steh'n machen nach genau dem Track Platz wie'n Hund
Tja, und das hat ein' Grund, was für Rap? Das ist Kunst
Lass' es bunt, mach' es rund und bitte sag mir, wer hat

Bock aufn Beat? Schreibt keinen Text

Heh! Ich schüttel' alle meine Texte, jeden meiner Sätze locker ausm Handgelenk
Keiner von euch kann sich vorstell'n, was wohl wär', hätt' er sich angestrengt
Ha! Nicht auszudenken, hab' keine Lust, nach Haus zu trampen
Pack' zack-zack mein'n Stuff und verlass' dein'n Club dann knapp auf tausend Händen
Skibbi-dibby-dib-dib-badab-bab und Savas fragt: „Was hier'n los?“
Wieder mal erwischt mit der Sekretärin: „Ey, wir kopier'n bloß!“
Heh, langsam wird es eng, alle meine Fans haben Angst und renn'n
Denn ich werfe 'ne Granate in die Menge, nur mal eben, um zu gucken, ob sie Bruno für dich wirklich fäng'n (Uhh)
Und das Haus hier brennt, wenn du diesen Jungen immer noch nicht kennst
Nix verpennt, geht erst los, Album hier, es wird groß
Und das hat'n Grund, was für Rap? Das ist Kunst
Lass' es bunt, mach' es rund, nicht mehr feil'n, passt schon, Punkt!

Yeah, ah!

Wer ist der Typ mit der Maske?
Der nicht überlegt, sondern einfach ma' machte?
Wer ist der Coolste im Game?
Und tut's für dich und nicht für den Fame?
Denn er gibt 'n Fick auf Majors
Aber macht trotzdem Paper
Und noch 'n Gruß an die Hater
Denn ich bin ab heute euer King of Raop
Raop, Raop, Raop

Und plötzlich macht dir das Rapding Fun, ist echt entspannt
Denn der Typ macht das, was der Rest nicht kann
Und du bist längst im Bann
Aber wart ma', der Track fängt doch jetzt erst an
Trotzdem bist du schon längst gefang'n
Willst nie wieder weg, sondern hängst dich an
Und du denkst: „Oh Mann, bitte streng dich an
Denn du bist die letze Hoffnung.“, doch ich denk' nicht dran
Haha, okay, Mikrocheck
Ich werd' grad erst warm, aber klingt schon fett (schon fett)
Sie sagen: „Cro macht das Ding komplett
Denn er singt und rappt.“, ey, du spinnst komplett
Was soll ich sagen? Mann, ich bin kein Mac
Kein Pimp, kein Chef, deshalb klingt es nett
Denn ich bin, wie ich bin und nicht seit jetzt
Nein im Ernst, dieser Typ war als Kind schon fresh
Und ab heut nie mehr ein Problem
Yeah, alles okay, R-A-O-P
Ist egal, welcher Stern grad wo steht
Wer, was, wo, wen? Scheiß drauf, Cro geht
Wieder voran und hat das Land hinter sich
Und du sagst, da geht mehr, Mann, das langt dir noch nicht
Aber wart ma', Kumpel, ganz unterm Strich
Ist alles ziemlich cool, drum bedanke ich mich

Yeah! Wer ist der Typ mit der Maske?
Der nicht überlegt, sondern einfach ma' machte?
Wer ist der Coolste im Game?
Und tut's für dich und nicht für den Fame?
Denn er gibt 'n Fick auf Majors
Aber macht trotzdem Paper
Und noch 'n Gruß an die Hater
Denn ich bin ab heute euer King of Raop
Raop, Raop, Raop

Keine Angst, denn ich bleib' wie ich bin (bleib' wie ich bin)
Und tief in mir drin bin ich eigentlich 'n Kind
Ich rapp' smooth und verleih' dem Ding
Gleich 'nen Swing, der einfach klingt
Kein Held, doch vielleicht ein King
Denn ich weiß, wohin, und zurzeit geht Wind
Also schreibt: „Er spinnt.“, doch ich weiß, ich gewinn'
Denn egal was kommt, Mann, ich bleib' ein Chim-
perator, scheiß auf Majors
Und scheiß auf Hater
Nein, ich steig' in die Blazer
Bin nur'n Kid mit'm bisschen Gold und Pager
Ha, und mehr Style als die Coolkids
Fly und 'n Schuhtick, nein es ist zu sick
Sie sagen: „Cro, ey uns reicht diese Juice nicht
Komm, erzähl was von dir und zeig uns, wer du bist.“

Yeah! Wer ist der Typ mit der Maske?
Der nicht überlegt, sondern einfach ma' machte?
Wer ist der Coolste im Game?
Und tut's für dich und nicht für den Fame?
Denn er gibt 'n Fick auf Majors
Aber macht trotzdem Paper
Und noch 'n Gruß an die Hater
Denn ich bin ab heute euer King of Raop
Raop, Raop, Raop

Easy, ea-, ea-; ea-, ea-
Easy, ea-, ea-; ea-, ea-

Leute sagen zu mir „Cro das Genie“, denn er flowt wieder wie
Dieser Hova und außerdem baut er die Beats, es ist easy, ea-, ea-; ea-, ea-
Und dieser Typ hier vergleicht sich mit Jay-Z und scheißt auf die Playsi
Denn ich häng' ab mit Rockstars, genauso wie AC—DC, ea-, ea-, ea-, ea-
Yeah! Ich chill' im Bett mit 'ner Chick, die sieht aus wie die Sis von Beyoncé
Ey, doch eigentlich, ey, geb' ich 'n Fick auf Frauen wie Eazy-E; ea-, ea-
Eh! Okay, das mit den Chicks tut mir leid, es war nicht so gemeint
Kannst du mir noch mal verzeih'n, Ina? Und sie schreit: „Ich heiß' Isi.“, ea-, ea-; ea-, ea-
Doch wenn Sie plötzlich so'n kleines Ding zeigt, du eigentlich schon weißt
Der zweite Strich heißt, es ist aus und vorbei, bleib easy, ea-, ea-; ea-, ea-
Yeah, und wenn sie heiraten will und nach drei Tagen chill'n
Schon dein ganzes Haus und deinen Leihwagen will, erschieß sie, ea-, ea-; ea-, ea-
Yeah! Doch das würd ich mich nicht trau'n, Mann, das weiß ich genau
Denn davor hau' ich ab und sing' „Runaway“ wie Kanyeezy, ea-, ea-; ea-, ea-
Eh, und dann lauf' ich und lauf' ich, wohin ist noch offen
Am besten nur weit, weit weg, vielleicht Washington DC, ea-, ea-; ea-, ea-
Yeah, und diese Frau war verrückt, denn sie hat mich erdrückt
Schreit, „Cro, komm zurück!“, doch ich schlüpf' grad in die Air Yeezy und verließ sie
Und mach' den iPod an, und alles, was ich hör', ist:

Sunny, ehh
Ich weiß schon, du heißt Isi, aber ist mir egal
Ich nenn' dich lieber Sunny, ehh
Ab jetzt wird alles easy, denn du bist nicht mehr da, ehh
Sunny, ehh
Ich weiß schon, du heißt Isi, aber ist mir egal
Ich nenn' dich lieber Sunny, ehh
Ab jetzt wird alles easy, denn du bist nicht mehr da, ehh

Easy, ea-, ea-; ea-, ea-
Easy, ea-, ea-; ea-, ea-

Wir sind beschäftigt, jeden Tag in Hektik
Wir haben keine Zeit, sorry, ich kann echt nich'
Is' alles hässlich, lästig, stresst dich
Doch ich hätt' es gern wieder zurück, wenn es weg is'
Wir häng' in Bars rum, hier und da Bespaßung
Schließen uns're Augen und schon wieder is' ein Jahr um
Erzähl'n Geschichten, werfen ständig unser'n Plan um
Doch alles bleibt gleich, bis auf das Datum
Wir feiern Partys, keine Sorgen, aber Frauen
Denn wir kiffen, saufen, rauchen, doch hör'n morgen damit auf
Und so geht es jedes Mal, jeden Tag
Bis dann irgendwann ne' Stimme zu dir sagt:

Diese Welt is' geil
Denn ich hab' alles, was ich brauch'
Und nein, ich will hier nie wieder raus
Solange ich hier bin, mach' ich das Beste draus
Diese Welt is' geil
Denn ich hab' alles, was ich brauch'
Und nein, ich will hier nie wieder raus
Solange ich hier bin, mach' ich das Beste draus

Okay, zurück zu meinem Tagesablauf
Ich bin oft tagelang blau, komm dann zurück in meine Wohnung
Bekomm Panik und lauf', ich such seit Jahren ne' Frau
Doch keine da, die mich braucht, geh auf die Stage, laber Quatsch und krieg dafür Applaus
Yeah, ich bin nich' bei Raab im TV
Und mach seit Jahren 'n Album, doch keiner wartet darauf
Hab' den Vertrag nur geklaut, aber sag es ja nicht dem Baus
Denn ich hab den Vorschuss leider noch am selben Abend verraucht
Und ja ich weiß, es könnte wirklich immer schlimmer sein
Doch ich nehm' Probleme und sperr' sie in mein Zimmer ein
Egal, was heute geht, ich denk nich' nach, ich bin dabei
Denn ich hör 'ne Stimme und sie schreit:

Diese Welt is' geil
Denn ich hab' alles, was ich brauch'
Und nein, ich will hier nie wieder raus
Solange ich hier bin, mach' ich das Beste draus
Diese Welt is' geil
Denn ich hab' alles, was ich brauch'
Und nein, ich will hier nie wieder raus
Solange ich hier bin, mach' ich das Beste draus

Manchmal denk ich, wie's wohl wär'
Wenn ich nich' wär', wer ich bin
Aber kein Mensch steht mir so gut wie ich
Und deshalb bleib ich wie ich bin!

Mir liegt die Welt zu Füssen, denn ich bin ein Superstar
Bin immer schlecht gelaunt, bin arrogant und gut bezahlt
Doch bin ich dann mal ziemlich nett, will ich nur mit dir ins Bett
Und bin sofort wieder weg, weg, weg..
Ich hab' nie für dich Zeit, schreib' dir nie zurück
Bin nie verliebt, ständig breit, denn ich schnief mein Glück
Mir wird zu ziemlich alles vorgelegt, grad wenn es um Mode geht
Hab' ich 10 Berater, die mir sagen, meine Hose steht mir
Exzellent und erst recht das Hemd
Diese Farbe ist der Wahnsinn und demnächst im Trend
Ey und geht es um Frauen, dann bin ich der King
Lebe den Traum, will niemals 'n Kind
Gebe viel aus und leb' in 'nem Haus
Bin jeden Tag blau und irgendwann blind
Und wenn ich's nich' hab, dann gib' es mir her
Und wenn ich's dann hab, dann will ich noch mehr
Dann will ich noch mehr, dann will ich noch mehr
Dann will ich, dann will ich, dann will ich

Und plötzlich merk' ich, diese Welt is' nix für mich
Geh' von der Bühne, werf' die Maske in die Ecke und bin ich
Yeah!

Manchmal denk ich, wie's wohl wär'
Wenn ich nich' wär', wer ich bin
Aber kein Mensch steht mir so gut wie ich
Und deshalb bleib ich wie ich bin!
Manchmal denk ich, wie's wohl wär'
Wenn ich nich' wär', wer ich bin
Aber kein Mensch steht mir so gut wie ich
Und deshalb bleib ich wie ich bin!

Ich setz' die Maske ab und lauf' durch den Club, doch
Keiner schaut, kein Applaus, keiner guckt, denn
Hier bin ich Carlo und keiner wirft den Arm hoch
Und keiner sagt mir Hallo, jap, denn keiner hat 'ne Ahnung
Hey und geht es um Frauen, dann bin ich 'ne Niete
Lebe den Traum, doch immer noch Miese
Jeder Tag grau, doch reg' mich nich' auf
Hab weder 'n Haus, noch hab ich die Miete
Leb' von Applaus, ernähr' mich von Liebe
Steh' wieder auf, bin grad in 'ner Krise
Da geb' ich nich' auf, da geb' ich nich auf, da geb' ich nich'

Und plötzlich merk' ich, diese Welt is' nix für mich
Ich setz' die Maske ins Gesicht, geh' auf die Bühne
Und bin ich! Yeah!

Manchmal denk ich, wie's wohl wär'
Wenn ich nich' wär', wer ich bin
Aber kein Mensch steht mir so gut wie ich
Und deshalb bleib ich wie ich bin!
Manchmal denk ich, wie's wohl wär'
Wenn ich nich' wär', wer ich bin
Aber kein Mensch steht mir so gut wie ich
Und deshalb bleib ich wie ich bin!

Yeah, guck, es war 2006
Doch kommt mir vor, als ob es gestern war
Denn ich stand auf dem Pausenhof und wollte deine Hefte tragen
Ich hatt' den besten Plan, doch du hast mich nicht mal beachtet
Und anstatt mit mir zu reden bei 'nem Kumpel übernachtet
Klar, sicherlich, Baby komm, ich bitte dich
Ich geb' dir meine Liebe, doch du drehst dich um und willst sie nicht
Jap und heute stehst du in der ersten Reihe, würdest gerne mit mir reden
Aber Baby, dis vorbei, denn

Nie mehr
Komm' ich wieder zurück? (eh-eh)
Nie mehr
Ich will dich nie mehr wiederseh'n
Mach es gut, viel Glück
Bye Bye, doch bitte, bitte, bitte bleib' wie du bist!

Es war 2006, doch kommt mir vor, als ob es gestern war
Denn sie erwischt mich jeden Tag, wie ich in meine Hefte mal'
Und gibt mir dafür Strafarbeiten, total in Rage sagt die Frau
Dass solche naseweisen Bengel auf der Straße bleiben
Jeden Tag Eintrag, Nachsitzen Freitags
Gibt mir 30 Seiten und begibt sich auf die Heimfahrt
Vielen Dank für diese wunderschöne Zeit
Nein, ich werd' sie nich' vergessen, doch so langsam bin ich reif
Und ich schnappe meinen Beutel und verlasse das Gebäude
Mit 'nem dicken fetten Smile und singe nur dabei

Nie mehr
Komm' ich wieder zurück? (eh-eh)
Nie mehr
Ich will dich nie mehr wiederseh'n
Mach es gut, viel Glück
Bye Bye, doch bitte, bitte, bitte bleib' wie du bist!

Was? Ne, ich fang' jetzt nicht nochmal gleich an
Wär' ja total langweilig!

Es is' 2005, als ob es gestern wär'
Und weit entfernt von Liebe, doch bereit für den Geschlechtsverkehr
Ich guck' sie an und sag: "Ich hab es nie gemacht!"
Sie nimmt meine Hand und sagt: "es tut nicht weh
Also lehn dich zurück" und hat gelacht
Und plötzlich spür' ich das beste Gefühl meines Lebens
Und fühl' mich, als würde ich über ihr schweben
Das Licht wurde heller, sie sieht, mir gefällt es
Dann nahm sie die Zügel und wurde noch schneller und...
Jetzt bin ich ein richtiger Mann
Ich seh', sie grinst und hör', wie meine Unschuld singt:

Nie mehr
Komm' ich wieder zurück? (eh-eh)
Nie mehr
Ich will dich nie mehr wiederseh'n
Mach es gut, viel Glück
Bye Bye, doch bitte, bitte, bitte bleib' wie du bist!
Nie mehr
Komm' ich wieder zurück
Nie mehr
Ich will dich nie mehr wiederseh'n
Mach es gut, viel Glück
Bye Bye, doch bitte, bitte, bitte bleib' wie du bist!

Es ist Sommer, irgendwo am Meer
Alles cool, denn die Sorgen liegen fern
Yeah, so als wärst du 'n Stern
Wir schauen hoch, wollen das Universum erklär'n
Aber kein Plan, was da oben passiert
Wo geht es los und wieso sind wir hier, huh?
Yeah, ist mir eigentlich egal
Wir haben keine Wahl und bleiben einfach da
Und halten uns an Regeln
Und haben One-Night-Stands, doch sie macht es nicht mit jedem
Ist klar, auf jeden, das kann ich schon versteh'n
Wir schicken SMS, denn wir haben kein'n Bock zu reden
Und kein Plan, was du ernsthaft brauchst
Komm drück auf „Like“, sie gefällt dir doch auch
Die größten Fehler machen wir für Geld oder Frauen
Ist okay, doch ich hoff' nur du lernst was daraus, denn—

Jeder Tag, yeah
Könnte dein letzter sein
Drum, wenn du irgendjemand magst, yeah
Sag es am Besten gleich
Jeder Tag, yeah
Könnte dein letzter sein
Drum, wenn du irgendjemand magst, yeah
Sag es am Besten gleich

Yeah, ah
Ich zähl' die Striche an der Wand
Und bemerk, ich hab es nicht mehr in der Hand, yeah
Und all die Lieder waren für Lau
Denn aus Lila wurde blau und die Bilder werden grau
Yeah, ich weiß, du kennst mich nicht
Doch irgendwas in mir drin sagt, du denkst wie ich, yeah, ah
Und ich komme wie in Trance
Gib mir eine Chance, ich verschwend' sie nicht, nein
Und heute bin ich Tage nicht zuhaus
Vermisse meine Fam, meine Mum und das Haus
Und meine Gang, sie fahren wieder raus
Gehen an den See, ich bade in Applaus
Die Dinge kommen schneller, als du rennst
Und sind schon wieder weg, bevor du bremst
Bevor du dieses Leben hier verpennst
Will ich, dass du weißt und immer daran denkst

Jeder Tag, yeah
Könnte dein letzter sein
Drum, wenn du irgendjemand magst, yeah
Sag es am Besten gleich
Jeder Tag, yeah
Könnte dein letzter sein
Drum, wenn du irgendjemand magst, yeah
Sag es am Besten gleich

One, two, one, two, three, four

Baby, bitte mach dir nie mehr Sorgen um Geld
Gib mir nur deine Hand, ich kauf' dir morgen die Welt
Egal, wohin du willst, wir fliegen um die Welt
Hau'n sofort wieder ab, wenn es dir hier nicht gefällt

Ost, West oder Nord, hab' den Jackpot an Bord
Will von hier über London direkt nach New York
Denn ab heute leb' ich jeden Tag, als ob ich morgen tot wäre
Laufe durch den Park und werf' mit Geld, als ob es Brot wäre (Yeah)
Nur noch Kaviar, Champagner oder Schampus
Baby, ich erfüll' dir wirklich jeden Wunsch mit Handkuss
Frühstück in Paris und danach joggen auf Hawaii
Und um das Ganze noch zu toppen, geh'n wir shoppen in L.A. (Wouh)
Also pack dir deine Zahnbürste ein
Denn ab heute bist du mehr als an nur einem Ort daheim
Mit meinem Babe in der Hand und 'nem Safe an der Wand
Könn'n wir tun, was wir woll'n, und das Leben ist noch lang, also komm

Baby, bitte mach dir nie mehr Sorgen um Geld
Gib mir nur deine Hand, ich kauf' dir morgen die Welt
Egal, wohin du willst, wir fliegen um die Welt
Hau'n sofort wieder ab, wenn es dir hier nicht gefällt (Ah)

Sie will Kreditkarten und meinen Mietwagen
Sie will Designerschuhe und davon ganz schön viel haben
Manolo Blahnik, Prada, Gucci und Lacoste
Kein Problem, dann kauf' ich halt für deine Schuhe gleich ein ganzes Schloss
Sie will in Geld baden, und sie will Pelz tragen
Und sie will schnell fahren, einmal um die Welt fahr'n
Sie kann sich kaufen, was sie wollte, doch nie hatte
Denn ich hab' jetzt die American Express, und zwar die schwarze, also komm

Baby, bitte mach dir nie mehr Sorgen um Geld
Gib mir nur deine Hand, ich kauf' dir morgen die Welt
Egal, wohin du willst, wir fliegen um die Welt
Hau'n sofort wieder ab, wenn es dir hier nicht gefällt
Baby, bitte mach dir nie mehr Sorgen um Geld
Gib mir nur deine Hand, ich kauf' dir morgen die Welt
Egal, wohin du willst, wir fliegen um die Welt
Hau'n sofort wieder ab, wenn es dir hier nicht gefällt

(Na-na-na-na-na-na) Ja, yeah
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da) Okay
(Da-da-da-da-da-da, da, da, da) Baby, du weißt Bescheid
(Na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na) Komm einfach vorbei oder ruf mich an
(Na, na, na, na) Kein Ding
Nur wir zwei (Na-na)
Einmal um die Welt (Na-na, na-na)
Aha, okay (Na-na), hehe (Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na)

Wenn sich morgen unsre Welt nicht mehr dreht
Die Sonne nicht mehr scheint
Gibt es kein'n Grund zu wein'n, nein
Denn wir war'n hier, wir war'n hier

Das Leben ist 'n Spiel, wir habn's schon lang gewonnen
Denn wir sind vor Millionen anderen Trotteln angekommen
Ich bin hier und jetzt kann kommen, was will
Denn ich bin sowas wie ein Held in meinem Hollywoodfilm
Jaja, das Leben ist schön, doch wird noch schöner danach
Verdammt, wir werden mal Stars an dem Tag, an dem sich

Unsre Welt nicht mehr dreht
Die Sonne nicht mehr scheint
Gibt es kein'n Grund zu wein'n, nein
Denn wir war'n hier, wir war'n hier

Ich geh nicht ran, wenn mich der Ernst des Lebens einmal anruft
Nein, ich bin im Club und tanz' den Lena Meyer-Landrut
Und Mutti meint, ich soll die Schule beenden
Und an To-do-Listen denken, und nicht die Jugend verschwenden
Jaja, ich weiß, dass nichts auf dieser Welt für immer bleibt
Doch zum Glück ist noch 'ne ganze Menge Zeit, bis sich

Unsre Welt nicht mehr dreht
Die Sonne nicht mehr scheint
Gibt es kein'n Grund zu wein'n, nein
Denn wir war'n hier, wir war'n hier

Und das ist mehr Wert als der reinste Diamant
Nimm den Meißel in die Hand und schreib' es in die Wand
Schreib, „Wir war'n hier, wir war'n hier
Wir war'n hier, ganz egal, ob sich morgen …“

Unsre Welt nicht mehr dreht
Die Sonne nicht mehr scheint
Gibt es kein'n Grund zu wein'n, nein
Denn wir war'n hier, wir war'n hier
Wir waren hier, wir waren hier
