Beautiful Creatures

Everybody's got somethin' to hide
There's a needle sticking in their eyes

I know where I'll be
You'll see me in the end

I got it all
I got blood on my hands
I got it all
I got the world on command
I got it all
I crossed the line in the sand
I got it..
I got it all

Watch your back, like it ain't no joke
Watch your life, goin' up in smoke

What's your's is mine
What's mine is mine
And I'll take it every time

I got it all
I got blood on my hands
I got it all
I got the world on command
I got it all
I crossed that line in the sand
I got it..
I got cancers, I got scars
Like politicans, and superstars

I got it all
I got blood on my hands
I got it all
I got the world on command
I got it all
I crossed the line in the sand
I got it.. ooh, yeah

I got it all
I got people that I left behind
I got it all
I see things that'll make you blind
I got it all
I got stories that could damage lives
I got it..
I got it all

Cracked up
Jacked up
Smacked across my face.
Pulled down
Put down
Kicked out of my place

Loneliness is just a frame of mind
Your voice it falls on deaf ears
And your class in on the line

1 A.M. and I'm cold again
I'm alone again and I need a friend
Feeling down in the dirt again
Getting burned again
Where the hell are you

Bitin' on my lip
Because your bleedings got me screaming your name
Strippin down my skin
You got me dreamin' bout the rats in your cage

Lookin for the light in your eyes
Your tounge it cuts like razors
And your promises are lies

1 A.M. and I'm cold again
I'm alone again and I need a friend
Feeling down in the dirt again
Getting burned again
Where the hell are you

1 A.M and I'm cold again
I'm alone again and I need a friend
Feeling down in the dirt again
Getting burned again
Where the hell are you

I was just about a breath away
When I was thinkin' 'bout the words you tried to say
That you'd stand by me that you cared for me
But in the end you mother fuckin' lied to me

1 A.M. and I'm cold again
I'm alone again and I need a friend
Feeling down in the dirt again
Getting burned again
Where the hell are you

1 A.M. and I'm cold again
I'm alone again and I need a friend
Feeling down in the dirt again
Getting burned again
Where the hell are you

1 A.M. and I'm cold again
I'm alone again and I need a friend
Feeling down in the dirt again
Getting burned again
Where the hell are you

Stepped off the bus, suitcase in my hands
Headin' down to Espanade
Took no time to find my friends
Laughed and drinkin' in the rain

You got more glitter and a lot more glam
Than Hollywood has its fame
And holdin' you is the best damn thing
No one's ever takin' that away

I said..
Hey missus, won't you stand by me, now?
Give me a little time?
Hey missus, won't you stand by me, now?
Show me how to turn it upside down?

I said..
I fell in love down in New Orleans and I found myself inside
I fell in love down in New Orleans when you showed me all those lives
Alright

Black on black, I was dressed to thrill
I made my way down the line
Hearts are poundin', and Elvis singin'
You were always on my mind

Well, darlin' now don't forget
I'll always love your style
Well, darlin, now don't forget
I'll always love your smile

I said..
Hey missus, won't you stand by me, now?
Give me a little time?
Hey missus, won't you stand by me, now?
Show me how to turn it upside down?

I said..
I fell in love down in New Orleans and I found myself inside
I fell in love down in New Orleans when you showed me all those lives

I fell in love down in New Orleans and I found myself inside
I fell in love down in New Orleans when you showed me all those lives

I fell in love down in New Orleans and I found myself inside
I fell in love down in New Orleans when you showed me all those lives

I fell in love down in New Orleans and I found myself inside
Darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin', you showed me all those lives

Takin' through the windows
Breakin' down the doors
And they're doin' it every night

Talkin' on the phone
And you're screamin' so loud
That you got me jakked on the line

Can't get it straight
And I couldn't get it right
Couldn't even it in between

Everyone knows what they're talkin' about
When they're talkin' all over me

Hey, hey, whoa, yeah
If I could only find a way to make you understand
Hey, hey, whoa, yeah
If I could only find a way to make you live again

I'm goin' off 'til I finally get my way
I'm goin' off 'til I finally have my day
I'm goin' off..
I'm goin' off..

Tired of the teacher
And I've had it with the preacher
Shit talkin' with a silver tounge

Everybody seems to shake their ass,
But they never seem to get it done

I cut my two just to get to you (?)
Just to keep myself alive

But you better move fast
'Cos it an't gonna last
Never see me take a dive

Hey, hey, whoa, yeah
If I could only find a way to make you understand
Hey, hey, whoa, yeah
If I could only find a way to make you live again

Goin' off, 'til I finally get my way
I'm goin' off, 'til I finally have my day
I'm goin' off, you can tell by the look on my face
I'm goin' off, in a second, I could tear up this place
I'm goin' off..

I'm Goin' off, 'til I finally get my way
I'm goin' off, 'til I finally have my day
I'm goin' off, you can tell by the look on my face
I'm goin' off, in a second, I could tear up this place
I'm goin' off
I'm goin' off
I'm goin' off
I'm goin' off
I'm goin' off

About to fall, would you catch me
Catch me, no
Nothing at all, would you tell me
Tell me why?
I wouldn't tell you how to live your life
I couldn't show you how to live a lie
You make it hard to understand
You make it hard to lend a hand
Time and time again
Seems so strange, like you don't even know me
You could have shown me
When I touch, can you feel anything at all?
Slide it down slow, don't let me,
Let me go, no
Time and time again
Seems so strange, like you don't even know me
You could have shown me
Time and time again
Seems so strange, like you don't even know me
You should have shown me
Well, you reached up and you opened up the sky, oh yeah
Like the sunshine, you opened up my eyes, oh yeah
Maybe tomorrow, we'll find our place in time
But for now, this is our last song
Time and time again
Seems so strange, like you don't even know me
Time and time again
Seems so strange, like you don't even know me
Time and time again
Seems so strange, like you don't even know me
Time and time again
Seems so strange, like you don't even know me

Somebody somewhere's tryin' to make time on someone else's dime
Somebody's somehwere's tryin' to make time on someone else's wife
I don't mind and I don't care 'cos I've been through that before
To me it's just an uphill climb and I'm kicking through the door

You see now I know you, you know me
We always want it for free
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know..

I've been kickin' for days
Countin' the ways
I've been through hell, now baby

I've been kickin' for days
Countin' the ways
I've been through hell

Don't back stroke, and don't tell lies, 'cos the wheel always comes around
You can slip, and you can slide, but you never touch the ground
You can take it from me, or take it from the Truth, or take it from the other side
Either way, it's gonna be a bitch, just to get your peace of mind

I know you, you know me
We always wanted it free
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know..

I've been kickin' for days
Countin' the ways
I've been through hell, now baby

I've been kickin' for days
Countin' the ways
I've been through hell, now honey

I've been kickin' for days
Countin' the ways
I've been through hell, now baby

I've been kickin' for days
Countin' the ways
I've been through hell

Oh no...
I've been kickin' for days
Countin' the ways
I've been through hell, now baby

I've been kickin' for days
Countin' the ways
I've been through hell, now honey

I've been kickin' for days
Countin' the ways
I've been through hell, now baby

I've been kickin' for days
Countin' the ways
I've been through hell with you

Like a star, I always fall
Catch me every night
Over waters and over skies
I will always shine
Yes, I'll always shine

Yeah, I could never change
Yeah, I could never change

We are, we are, we are, we are the blacklist
Check yourself to the back of the line
We are, we are, we are, we are the blacklist
Check yourself, 'cos we're doing just fine

If today will never be
And tomorrow never comes
We remember yesterday
And will I be the one?
Yes, I'll be the one

Yeah, I could never change
Yeah, I could never change

We are, we are, we are, we are the blacklist
Check yourself to the back of the line
We are, we are, we are, we are the blacklist
Check yourself, 'cos we're doing just fine

We are, we are, we are, we are the blacklist
Check yourself to the back of the line
We are, we are, we are, we are the blacklist
Check yourself, 'cos we're doing just fine

Check yourself and do your time
And check yourself to the back of the line
And go, go, go, go, yeah

Check yourself and do your time
And check yourself to the back of the line
And go, go, go, go, yeah

We are, we are, we are, we are the blacklist (4x)
