Wait for the day you come home from the lonely park
Look for the girl who has put up with all of your shit
You've never needed anyone for so long

You look in the bed; you've been gone for too long
To put in the time, but it's too late to make it strong

And all I want is your pity
Oh all I want are your bitter tears
Yeah, all I want is your pity
At least all I want are your bitter tears

All I want is your pity
Oh all I want are your bitter tears
Yeah, all I want is your pity
Oh all I want are your bitter tears

When will it start getting dark and the girls are gone
So you're back again and into the late unknown
You never needed anything for so long

All I want is your pity
And all I want are your bitter tears
Now all I want is your pity
And all I want are your bitter tears

From now on, I'm someone different
'Cause it's no fun to be predicting
From now on, there's
'Cause I just want what I want

Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home

That's how it starts.
We go back to your house,
you check the charts,
and start to figure it out.

And if it's crowded, all the better,
because we know we're going to be up late.
But if you're worried about the weather,
then you've picked the wrong place to stay.

That's how it starts.

And so it starts.
We switch the engine on.
We set controls for the heart of the sun.
One of the ways that we show our age.

And if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up,
and if the sun comes up and I still don't want to stagger home.
Then it's the memories of our betters
that are keeping us on our feet.

You spent the first five years
trying to get with the plan,
and the next five years
trying to be with your friends again.

Oh, you're taking 45 turns
just as fast as you can.
Yeah, I know it gets tired,
but it's better when we pretend.

It comes apart.
The way it does in bad films.
Except the part
where the moral kicks in.

And when we're running out of the drugs,
and the conversation's grinding away,
I wouldn't trade one stupid decision
for another five years of life.

Oh, you drop the first ten years
just as fast as you can
and the next ten people
who are trying to be polite.

When you're blowing 85 days
in the middle of France.
Yeah, I know it gets tired,
only where are your friends tonight?

To tell the truth,
this could be the last time.
So here we go, like a sales force
into the night.

And if I made a fool,
if I made a fool,
if I made a fool on the road,
there's always this.

And if I'm sued
into submission,
I can still come home
to this.

And with a face like a dad
and a laughable stand,
you can sleep on the plane
or if you want to sit

When you're drunk and the kids
look impossibly tan
you think over and over,
"hey, I'm finally dead".

Oh when the trip and the plan
come apart in your hands,
you can turn it on yourself,
you ridiculous prop.

You'll forget what you meant
when you read what you said
Oh and you knew you were tired,
but then where are your friends tonight?

Where are your friends tonight?
Where are your friends tonight?

If I could see all my friends tonight,
if I could see all my friends tonight,
If I could see all my friends tonight,
if I could see all my friends tonight.

A beats on repeat beating on me
From every car in the street
It's constant repeat on repeat
Of you paranoid heartbreaking beats
On repeat

It's a fine song on repeat beating on me
With your favorite bed that helps you sleep
And hear comes the news stylish creep
From ever car in the street
On repeat
On repeat
Uh huh
Uh oh
Oh yeah

On repeat
Don't care about any words
What's it really worth
Because they can tell everybody else
What to really want
Then your fucked so
Act like it's for yourself
For insides out
And they
Go and tell everybody else
That we're really great
Just people

Your friends eyes are entranced
Your friends eyes are entranced
They know that it's us
Well life is a compromise
But your beats are half-assed
Streak is beating on me

I love drinking
Weed is helping me sleep

I wish I could complain more
About the rich
But then
All the children
Would learn the streets
Come to every show
Knowing whats there

I wish I could complain more
About the rich
But then
All the children
Would fail at school
Come to every show
Drugged and ...

I wish I could complain more
About the rich
But then
All the children
Would learn the streets

Repeats of beats
On your radio
On your radio
On your radio
On your radio

Beats on repeat
Beating on me
Beats on repeat
Beating on me

Walking up to me expecting walking up to me
Expecting words it happens all the time
Present company accept it present company
Except the worst it happens every night

Ah aaaaah present company
Excluded every time
Ah aaaaaah present company
The best that you can find

Talking like a jerk
Except you are an actual jerk
And living proof that sometimes friends are mean

Present company expect it present company
Just laugh it off it's better than it seems

Ah aaaaaah present company
Excluded in every way
Ah aaaaaah present company
Makes me wanna stay

Killing it with close inspecting
Killing it can only make it worse
It sort of makes it breed
Present company accepting
Presently we all expect the worst
Works just like a need

Ah aaaaah present company
Excluded in the night
Ah aaaaah present company
Included in the fight

Ah aaaaaaaah, ah aaaaaaaah, aaaaaah
Ah aaaaaaah

Don't you want me to wake up?
Then give me just a bit of your time
Arguments are made from make outs
So give it just a little more time

We've got to bring our results
I wanna play it 'til the time comes
But there's a string of divorces
You go and throw your little hands up

I miss the way the night comes
With friends who always make it feel good
This basement has a cold glow
Though it's better than a bunch of others

So go and dance yourself clean ..ooow
Go and dance yourself clean yeah
You're throwing marks into pieces
Baby, they're arguments, the pieces

It's your show <i>[x4]</i>

Work a little bit ......?

Every night's a different story
It's a thirty car pile-up with you
Everybody's getting younger
It's the end of an era, it's true

And you go
(Stop, stop, stop, stop)

Break(?) me into bigger pieces
So some of me is home with you
Wait until the weekend
And we can make our bad dreams come true

And it's ago yeah, it's ago
And if we wait until the weekend
We can miss the best things to do, oh

Go and dance yourself clean
Go and dance yourself clean
You're throwing marks into pieces
Maybe they're arguments the pieces

Oh

We should try a little harder
In the tedious march of the few
Every day's a different warning
There's a part of me hoping it's true

Drunk girls <i>[x4]</i>

(Drunk girls)
Drunk girls cause a couple of heart attacks
(Drunk girls)
Drunk girls are unusually mild
(Drunk boys)
Drunk boys keep in pace with the pedophiles
(Drunk girls)
Drunk girls are boringly wild

(Drunk girls)
Drunk girls get invitations from nations
(Drunk girls)
They got the patience of a million saints
(Drunk boys)
They steal, they steal from the cupboards
(Drunk girls)
Drunk girls like to file complaints

(Drunk girls)
Drunk girls are like a night of simplicity
(Drunk girls)
They need a lover who is smarter than me
(Drunk boys)
Drunk boys, we walk like pedestrians
(Drunk girls)
Drunk girls wait an hour to pee

(Drunk girls)
Drunk girls know that love is an astronaut
(Drunk girls)
It comes back, but it's never the same
(Drunk boys)
Drunk boys, drunk boys, drunk boys, drunk boys
(Drunk girls)
Drunk girls can be just as insane

Oh oh oh
I believe in waking up together
So oh oh
That means making eyes across the room

(Drunk girls)
Just 'cause I'm shallow doesn't mean that I'm heartless
(Drunk girls)
Just 'cause I'm heartless doesn't mean that I'm mean
(Drunk boys)
Sometimes love gives us too many options
(Drunk girls)
Just 'cause you're hungry doesn't mean that you're lean

(Drunk girls)
I've heard lies that could curdle your heartstrings
(Drunk girls)
A couple truths, maybe burn out your eyes
(Drunk boys)
Drunk boys leave their irons in the fireplace
(Drunk girls)
'Cause drunk girls give them too many tries

Drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls...

Oh oh oh
I believe in waking up together
Oh oh oh
I believe I'm waking up, but no promises
Oh oh oh
I believe in waiting out the weather
Oh oh oh
I believe in making up

The day becomes the night <i>[x4]</i>
Honestly, honestly, honestly
Unless it hurts, why do it?
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Oh

Home- home in the late-night
and away- away in the half-life
except Saturday- crushed by the boring
until played and plagued again by the tourists

when once you had believed it
now you see it's sucking you in

to string you along with the pretense
and pave the way for the coming release

alone and prone in the half-light
and late- late to the real-life
if you find a way into the gold rush
you will stay until the morning comes
you can normalize
don't it make you feel alive

Home- home in the late-night
and away- away in the half-life
except Saturday- crushed by the boring
until played and plagued again by the tourists

when once you had believed it
now you see it's sucking you in

to string you along with the pretense
and pave the way for the coming release

alone and prone in the half-light
and late- late to the real-life
if you find a way into the gold rush
you will stay until the morning comes
you can normalize
don't it make you feel alive

Money
Make you feel real good
I always take it more than I know I should
You never give it away for free
You're always stealing a little love from me

but you got to give it up
If you want to live it up
You got to give it up
If you want to live it up

Money
Make you feel real good
You're always taking more than you know you should
You always take it take it take it etc...

Give it up
If you want to live it up
You got to give it up
If you want to live it up
You got to give it up
If you want to live it up
You got to give it up
If you want to live it up

These are the parts of a terrible past
And these are the things we can live without

You got to give it up
If you want to live it up

These are the parts of a terrible past
And these are the things we can live without

And it feels like it won't come on
And it takes like you're full of love
Still the time never to pay on
Still the time never to pay on

And it feels like I'm coming home
And it's still like a merry cow
And it feels like it's coming home
And it feels like it's full of love
Still in time is the great release
Something dying will be a great release

Home
Home
Home
Home
Home
Home
Take me home

Just do it right
Make it perfect and real
Because it's everything
No everything was never the deal

So grab your things and stumble into the night
So we can shut the door
Oh, shut the door on terrible times

Yeah, do it right
And head again into space
So you can carry on
And carry on, and fall all over the place

This is the trick, forget a terrible year
That we can break the laws
Until it gets weird

And this is what you waited for
But under lights, we're all unsure
So tell me
What would make you feel better?

As night has such a local ring
And love and rock are pick-up things
And you know it
Yeah, you know it
Yeah, you know

Take

Forget your past
This is your last chance now
And we can break the rules
Like nothing will last

You might forget
Forget the sound of a voice
Still you should not forget
Yeah, don't forget
The things that we laughed about

And after rolling on the floor
And thankfully, a few make sure that you get home
And you stay home
And you better

'Cause you're afraid of what you need
Yeah, you're afraid of what you need
If you weren't, yeah you weren't
Then I don't know what we'd talk about

Yeah no one ever knows what you're talking about
So i guess you're already there
No one opens up when you scream and shout
But it's time to make a couple things clear

If you're afraid of what you need
If you're afraid of what you need
Look around you, you're surrounded
It won't get any better

Until the night

Tell me a line make it easy for me
Open your arms
Dance with me until I feel all right
It's good in the dark, good in the dark
But into the lover's light
Here comes another fight

So ring the alarm, ring the alarm
Bar me and hold me and cling to my arm
Here it comes, here it comes

And what you're asking me now, disastrous now
Hoping and hoping and hoping
The feeling goes away

Never change, never change, never change, never change
Never change, never change, never change
This is why I fell in love oooh

Never change, never change, never change, never change
Never change, never change, never change
That's just too up there in love with
(in love...)

This is the time the very best time
So give me a line and take me home
Take me over

But dashing the hopes dashing the hopes
And smashing the pride
The morning's got you on the ropes .. ooh

And love is a murderer, love is a murderer
But if she calls you tonight
Everything is all right
Yeah, we know
And love is a curse shoved in a hearse
Love is an open book to a verse of your bad poetry
And this is coming from me

But I can change, I can change, I can change, I can change
I can change, I can change, I can change
If it helps you fall in love
(fall in love)
<i>[repeat]</i>

Turn on the light make it easy for me
Fill the divide fumble in the kitchen
Til it's right
What an awful sight

But there's love in your eyes
Love in your eyes, love in your eyes
But maybe that's just what your lover finds
All night!

But I can change, I can change, I can change, I can change
I can change, I can change, I can change
If it helps you fall in love
(fall in love)
<i>[repeat]</i>

Yeah, I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge.
The kids are coming up from behind.
I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge to the kids from France and from London.
But I was there.

I was there in 1968.
I was there at the first Can show in Cologne.
I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge to the kids whose footsteps I hear when they get on the decks.
I'm losing my edge to the Internet seekers who can tell me every member of every good group from 1962 to 1978.
I'm losing my edge.

To all the kids in Tokyo and Berlin.
I'm losing my edge to the art-school Brooklynites in little jackets and borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered eighties.

But I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge, but I was there.
I was there.
But I was there.

I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge.
I can hear the footsteps every night on the decks.
But I was there.
I was there in 1974 at the first Suicide practices in a loft in New York City.
I was working on the organ sounds with much patience.
I was there when Captain Beefheart started up his first band.
I told him, "Don't do it that way. You'll never make a dime."
I was there.
I was the first guy playing Daft Punk to the rock kids.
I played it at CBGB's.
Everybody thought I was crazy.
We all know.
I was there.
I was there.
I've never been wrong.

I used to work in the record store.
I had everything before anyone.
I was there in the Paradise Garage DJ booth with Larry Levan.
I was there in Jamaica during the great sound clashes.
I woke up naked on the beach in Ibiza in 1988.

But I'm losing my edge to better-looking people with better ideas and more talent.
And they're actually really, really nice.

I'm losing my edge.

I heard you have a compilation of every good song ever done by anybody.
Every great song by the Beach Boys. All the underground hits.
All the Modern Lovers tracks. I heard you have a vinyl of every Niagra record on German import.
I heard that you have a white label of every seminal Detroit techno hit - 1985, '86, '87.
I heard that you have a CD compilation of every good '60s cut and another box set from the '70s.

I hear you're buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real. You want to make a Yaz record.

I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables.
I hear that you and your band have sold your turntables and bought guitars.

I hear everybody that you know is more relevant than everybody that I know.

But have you seen my records?

You don't know what you really want. <i>[x15]</i>

It's like a movement from the small place
To a bigger city
Or it's a bigger bag to strap the ego of a little baby
It's like a discipline without the discipline of
All of the discipline
It's like a culture
Without the effort of all the culture

Oh but I'm tapped
You're pillaging and I'm tapped
You're yesterday
And I'm tapped
Another reason I'm tapped

It's like a movement
Without the bother of all of the meaning
It's like a discipline
Without the discipline of all of the discipline
It's like a fat guy in a t-shirt
Doing all the saying
It's like a couple dads and a few friends
Trying hard to stay in

You're history and I'm tapped
You're fast and easy and I'm tapped
You're pillaging
And I'm tapped
For best results well I'm tapped

Here comes the report nothing to report see
It's all the same
It seems the punk rock as an experiment well
It pulled up lame
You got the fat guy in the t-shirt
Doing all the singing
Straight to the drunk tank doing the research
Doing all the blame

You're history and I'm tapped
You're fast asleep and I'm tapped
You're pillaging and I'm tapped
For best results well I'm tapped

It's like the culture
Without the effort or all of the luggage
It's like a discipline
Without the discipline of all of the discipline
It's like a movement
Without the bother of the meaning
It's like a culture
Without the culture of all of the culture

You're history and I'm tapped
You're fast and easy
And I'm tapped
You're pillaging and I'm tapped
And you're finicky so I'm tapped

It's like a movement from the small place
To a bigger city
Or it's a bigger bag to strap the ego of a little baby
It's like a discipline without the discipline of
All of the discipline
It's like a culture
Without the effort of all the culture

Oh but I'm tapped
You're pillaging and I'm tapped
You're yesterday

Another reason I'm tapped

New York, I Love You
But you`re bringing me down

New York, I Love You
But you`re bringing me down

Like a rat in a cage
Pulling minimum wage

New York, I Love You
But you`re bringing me down

New York, you`re safer
And you`re wasting my time

Our records all show
You are filthy but fine

But they shuttered your stores
When you opened the doors
To the cops who were bored
Once they`d run out of crime

New York, you`re perfect
Don`t please don`t change a thing

Your mild billionaire mayor`s
Now convinced he`s a king

So the boring collect
I mean all disrespect

In the neighborhood bars
I`d once dreamt I would drink

New York, I Love You
But you`re freaking me out

There`s a ton of the twist
But we`re fresh out of shout

Like a death in the hall
That you hear through your wall

New York, I Love You
But you`re freaking me out

New York, I Love You
But you`re bringing me down

New York, I Love You
But you`re bringing me down

Like a death of the heart
Jesus, where do I start?

But you`re still the one pool
Where I`d happily drown

And oh.. Take me off your mailing list
For kids that think it still exists
Yes, for those who think it still exists

Maybe I`m wrong
And maybe you`re right
Maybe I`m wrong
And maybe you`re right

Maybe you`re right
Maybe I`m wrong
And just maybe you`re right

And Oh..
Maybe mother told you true
And they`re always be something there for you
And you`ll never be alone

But maybe she`s wrong
And maybe I`m right
And just maybe she`s wrong

Maybe she`s wrong
And maybe I`m right
And if so, is there?

New York, I Love You
But you`re bringing me down

New York, I Love You
But you`re bringing me down

Oh oh oh
Oh I don't know, I don't know, oh, where to begin
We are north americans
And for those of you who still think we're from england
We're not, no.
We build our planes and our trains till we think we might die,
Far from North America,
Where the buildings are old and you might have lots of mimes.
Aha, oh, oh.
I hate the feelin' when you're looking at me that way
Cause we're north americans
But if we act all shy, it'll make it ok
Makes it go away.

Oh I don't know, I don't know, oh, where to begin
When we're north american
But in the end we make the same mistakes all over again
Come on north americans

We are north american scum
We're from north america

And all the kids all the kids that want to make the scene
Here in north america
When our young kids get to read it in your magazines
We don't have those
So where's the love where's the love where's the love where's the love where's the love tonight?
But there's no love man there's no love and the kids are uptight
So throw a party till the cops come in and bust it up
Let's go north americans
Oh you were planning it I didn't mean to interrupt
Sorry
I did it once and my parents got pretty upset
Freaked out in north america
But then I said the more I do it the better it gets

Let's rock north america

We are north american scum
We're from north america
We are north american scum
We are north american

New york's the greatest if you get someone to pay the rent
Wahoo north america
And it's the furthest you can live from the government un huh huh
Some proud american christians might disagree
Here in north america
But new york's the only place we're keepin them off the street
Boo boo now we can't have parties like in spain where they go all night
Shut down in north america
Or like berlin where they go another night, alright, un huh un huh

You see I love this place that I have grown to know
Alright, north america.
And yeah, I know you wouldn't touch us with a ten-foot pole
'cause we're north americans.

We are north american scum
We are north americans
We are north american scum
We love north america

Take me back to the states man
North american scum
