"Take On Me"

"Take On Me"



talking away i don't know what what to say -
i'll say it anyway today's another day to find you shying away
i'll be coming for your love take on me, take me on
i'll be gone in a day so needless to say i'm odds
and ends and you see me stumbling away slowly learning that life is ok.
say after me it's no better to be safe than sorry take on me,
take me on i'll be gone in a day oh the things that you say is it life
or just to play my worries away all the things i've got to remember shying
away i'll be coming for you anyway take on me,
take me on i'll be gone in a day

"Talk Of The Town"

"Talk Of The Town"



I've seen you come around
It's not what I expected
I guess I must have known all along
I'd always be rejected

Now I see who's for real for twice in my life
At least I got a direction in my life
And I'm not pinned down
Cuz I know what I want
And I know how to get there
No one's gonna tell me what to do
Or what I've done

Now I see who's for real for twice in my life
(For twice in my life)
At least I got a direction in my life
(In My life)
And I'm not pinned down
Cuz I know what I want
And I know how to get there
(Know how to get there)
No one's gonna tell me what to do
Or what I've done

"Teenage Politics"

"Teenage Politics"



no i'm not mad but i think they forget
what it's like and how hard it is to be a teenager
this is a new day and age, we read a different book
where elvis ain't the rage and polyester ain't the look
and will we change at all when we get old?
or will we be the same? never do what were told
well that depends on you, are you doing the right thing?
it's not about control, it's about you and me and understanding
teenage politics it's too confusing
politics shmolitics it's too confusing
is it time again to disagree
about anything, everything and what's on tv
it's a vicious circle, never ending
a linear equation worldy extending
no ill never be like you ill never ever be like you
oh no! i'm just like you!

"The Aspect"

"The Aspect"



every now and then i get
time alone so my
solitude gives me time to
roam through my ideals i
excogitate how i see the
world and how it sees me
sentence me all alone i
won't be on my own
take me as i am in
support of a populist
implicate yoursef those
who are impious i'm
disassociated for more
than just one reason
don't discount my
feelings for the truth

"The Broken Bones"

"The Broken Bones"



When the day is done
we can have our fun
When we see the sun go down
We start our night out on the town

Bundle up it's cold
Let's hit the street we're getting old
We're wearing ourselves thin
And tomorrow night we'll do it again

We're the broken bones, whoa
We're the broken bones

BMX all night
Goosetops, rooftops, midnight flights
When you see us from the hill
Move yourself, we ride to kill

We'll ride in your town too
Cause we're a touring crew
From Seattle to L.A
Chicago to New York to Tampa Bay

We're the broken bones, whoa
We're the broken bones

"The Capitol"

"The Capitol"



When there's nowhere else to hide,
When there's no one left to stand beside,
When everthing seems wrong,
I've been with you all along

When what's left is all you really know,
And nowhere's where you want to go
When they treat you like you don't belong,
I've been with you all along

I'm the heart, the soul, the mind
The capitol of every kind
Those that seek will surely find,
Those that don't are surely blind,
Those that seek will surely find

Well time is always running out,
And we are in a storm of doubt
When the narrow path is long,
I've been with you all along

When your heart has been tied down,
And thrown into the sea to drown
When the love you knew is gone,
I've been with you all along

Every step of the way,
Every passing day
Go!

I'm the heart, the soul, the mind
The capitol of every kind
Those that seek will surely find,
Those that don't are surely blind,
Those that seek will surely find

"The Darkest Places"

"The Darkest Places"



Maybe it is dangerous
To invite a stranger into the room with us
The noise is growing louder but i'm not scared at all

When there's no more money in politics
They'll be tearing down the union brick by brick
There'll be cynics holding clinics about where we have been
With every self-proclaimed historian

You know i know you don't want this
You don't need this

I'm shining the light on the darkest places
You know and i know we have to face this now
We have to face this now

The days are growing dark what are we gonna do?
The countries in a panic when i turn on the tube
So maybe i'll just wake up in the afternoon

You can change the channels on your tv
Push all the little buttons 'til your fingers bleed
But you won't change me
There's nothing i would do for you cause
You don't wanna see

You know i know you don't want this
You can't dismiss

I'm shining the light on the darkest places
You know and i know we have to face this now
We have to face this now
I'm shining the light on the darkest places
Putting the word out we have to face this now
We have to face this now

A generation taking numbers, making calls
As shadows move across my bedroom wall

I'm shining the light on the darkest places
You know and i know we have to face this now
We have to face this now
I'm shining the light on the darkest places
Putting the word out we have to face this now
We have to face this now

"The Downfall Of Western Civilization"

"The Downfall Of Western Civilization"



What do you call yourself?
What did you call me?

Excuse me but you don't know me
And I sure don't know you neither

Who are you and where did you go?
You think you know but you, just don't know

"The Empire"
(feat. Mark Hoppus)

"The Empire"
(feat. Mark Hoppus)



Sink your teeth into me,
Bite so hard it bleeds, I need some answers more than ever, please!

We are fallen angels with no place to go we are fallen angels looking for a home

You are dead, you’re alive, but why?
You’re the empire, the rebellion, but why?
Just look at your hands, holding them tight to your chest!
Look at your hands, what have they done to the wrists?

Reach your head into me stir up bitter memories,
Steal my dreams while I’m asleep, please!

We are fallen angels with no place to go we are fallen angels looking for a home

You are dead, you’re alive, but why?
You’re the empire, the rebellion, but why?
Just look at your hands, holding them tight to your chest!
Look at your hands, what have they done to the wrists?

My head turned with a doorknob, as you walked in the room, as you walked in the room
My head turned with a doorknob, as you walked in the room, as you walked in the room

You are dead, you’re alive, but why?
You’re the empire, the rebellion, but why?
You are dead, you’re alive, but why?
You’re the empire, the rebellion, but why?

"The Final Slowdance"

"The Final Slowdance"



You're taking all the space up in my head
With all the things that we could do and
All the things that could be said
It's hard for me to understand
The way I feel about you and the way it
Made me feel to hold your hand

Am I running out of time or am I at the
starting line?
I know I missed the mark yet I just need some
sort of sign

My words don't come out easily
So I will tell you honestly
No one wants to spend
Eternity alone....
