Friends Only! & On Being Care

Jul 09, 2006 19:28

I’m on fire and now I think I’m ready to bust a move
Check it out, I’m rocking steady
Go!

Betty won’t stop listening to modern rock

How she hates to be alone
I try to compensate her lack of love with coffee cake, ice cream, and a bottle of ten dollar wine
She says: "Hey, I rock the Haro sport, I rock the cow girl blues, I rock too fast for love, I’m footloose in my Velcro shoes. What’s up with Will and Grace? I don’t get Drum and Bass.
The future freaks me out."

I’m on fire and now I think I'm ready to bust a move
Check it out, I’m rocking steady to the beat in my head
It goes oh, oh-oh-oh
I know that she’s the only one
I’d rather waste our time together
Yeah, ‘cause we can get down

Betty can’t quit carving question marks in my wrist
How come we’re so alone?
We waste away the days with nicotine and television samples from an era we hate to admit we embrace
We fail to represent
We fail to be content
We fail at everything we ever even try to attempt
And so the story goes as only Betty knows
It’s time to take control
(Get Down)

I’m on fire and now I think I'm ready to bust a move
Check it out, I’m rocking steady to the beat in my head
It goes oh, oh-oh-oh
I know that she’s the only one
I’d rather waste my time with her

Betty, I need you, I miss you
I’m so alone without you to call up on the weekends with my cellular phone

Betty, it’s so hard to relate to the whole human race
I don’t know where to begin
I don’t know where to begin
If we can both find a way to do the things that we say, we might not sit in our rooms and drink our daydreams away
Betty, I’m a dreamer, I’m not a vicious schemer
Oh Betty won’t you... ah, fuck it

I’m on fire and now I think I'm ready to bust a move
Check it out, I’m rocking steady to the beat in my head
It goes oh, oh-oh-oh
I know that she’s the only one
I’d rather waste our time together
Yeah, ‘cause we can get down

*****************************************

Was it in the cold of that knife you screwed in the heart of the enduring?
‘Cause when you opened that door, you knew well now there’d be no returning or room to mourn what we have lost
To wait while the willing, as you're the Hound of Blood and Rank
And, boy, you've got another thing coming

Come on, come on, come on, you've got to give it me
As though you want it to, come on and set me free

I'll dig it 'til we've made your grave, oh, you've been a bad, bad boy
I'll cut it 'til I carve it out, and stick it in a sad, sad song
Why the bother, you're no brother, you’re the wrong I need
Boy, we all found an audience, while you found the worst of me
You got another thing

Put 'em up against the wall, now they're of no use to you
God, it's time for the curing, only you're in for that big refuse
Surprise, boy! This tides come a turning, no room to mourn what you have lost
Oh, no waiting while the willing, poor little Hound of Blood and Rank
Who deserves every ounce of what's coming

Come on, come on, come on, you've got to give it me
As though you want it to, come on and set me free

I'll dig it 'til we've made your grave, oh, you've been a bad, bad boy
I'll cut it 'til I carve it out, and stick it in a sad, sad song
Why the bother, you're no brother, you’re the wrong I need
Boy, we all found an audience, while you found the worst of me
You got another thing

Come on, come on, come on, you've got to give it me
As though you want it to, come on and set me free

I'll dig it 'til we've made your grave, oh, you've been a bad, bad boy
I'll cut it 'til I carve it out, and stick it in a sad, sad song
Why the bother, you're no brother, you’re the wrong I need
Boy, we all found an audience, while you found the worst of me
You got another thing

We caught you on the wrong side of lying
Within the dust we left you dying, if only words can keep you hiding
Well go on, cowards we've offed you, cowards we've offed you
I hope your life's a living hell
It's all on you, boy

[Coheed and Cambria - The Hound (Of Blood And Rank)]
