I HEARD HE HIT THE WALL AND DIDN'T MAKE A SOUND / AND PRACTICE DIDN'T MAKE AS PERFECT AS THEY SAY / BUT SHE CAN TALK TO HERSELF / AND EVERY WORD SOUND FAMILIAR UNTIL THE SECOND DAY / SHE MADE HIM HIT THE WALL, THEN ASKED HIM FOR AN ENCORE / AND SO HE PLAYED AND ENCORE AND HIT THE SECOND FLOOR / AND HE CAN THINK FOR HIMSELF UNDERNEATH THE INNUENDO UNTIL THE SECOND PAGE / MAYBE RULES ARE MADE TO BE / MAYBE HE'S NOT MADE TO SEE THAT GOOD / JERICHO MIGHT STAND IF SHE WOULD PLAY / FOR EVERY PHRASE THERE IS A WAY TO FAKE IT / PLAY / I'LL TAKE BACK EVERY WORD I SAY / I'M AMUSED FOR YOU / BUT I GUESS THAT I COULD GET UPTIGHT AND ALL UPSET IF YOU WANTED ME TO / BUT I CAN THINK TO MYSELF AND I CAN BE SO ENTERTAINING / AS PERFECT AS THEY SAY / MAYBE IF SHE WOULD LIFT UP HER HEAD FROM "HOW TO GET YOUR WAY" / I DON'T KNOW / JUST SHUT MY HOLE AND PLAY / FOR EVERY PHRASE THERE IS A WAY TO FAKE IT / PLAY / I'LL TAKE BACK EVERY WORD I SAY / SHE CAN TALK TO HERSELF / HE CAN FALL AND CRY FOR HELP / WE CAN WATCH AND SAY WE'LL NEVER BE THAT WAY

ELEVATOR ANTHEMS ARE ALL THE RAGE / THEY HAVE NO SCENT I CAN DETECT / BUT THEY SEEP OUT ON EACH AIRWAVE / CAROLINA BASTARD ON THE OTHER HAND / HE SMELLS LIKE TEEN FORGIVENESS / AND AT 23 WE'D STILL BE BIG FANS / SAINT, YOUR ACTIONS SPEAKING LOUD AGAIN / GENTLE AS THEY MAY BE / SAVE A WRETCH LIKE ME / I'M WAITING IMPATIENTLY / COULD YOU INSPIRE FROM INSIDE? / THE SOUND IS UP AND THE SLATE IS CLEAN / SAVE A WRETCH LIKE ME / I'M WAITING / CALCULATE A RANSOM AND SHARE THE WEALTH / THE 24 WAS HEAVEN BUT THE 7 HURT LIKE HELL / SUDDENLY IT'S GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE / HERE THEY COME, THE LOUDEST SOULS / THE CROWD CONTROL ROLLS OUT LIKE LOW TIDE / SAINT, YOUR ACTIONS SPEAKING LOUD AGAIN / GENTLE AS THEY MAY BE / SAVE A WRETCH LIKE ME / I'M WAITING IMPATIENTLY / COULD YOU INSPIRE FROM INSIDE? / THE SOUND IS UP AND THE SLATE IS CLEAN / SAVE A WRETCH LIKE ME / I'M WAITING

+ ULTIMATE GOODBYE +

SPEAKING OF TRICKLE-DOWN, LOOK AT THEM BREAKING UP / HAVEN'T EVEN HIT THE BOTTOM YET / LOOK AT THAT AMPERSAND, UGLY AND ERASABLE / HOW ORDINARY CAN YOU GET? / I'M READY FOR THE ULTIMATE GOODBYE / SO OPEN UP THAT EVIL EYE / THE BUSIER THE ARCHITECT, THE BLURRIER THE BLUEPRINT GETS / BUT EVERY BUILDING KNOWS YOU CARE / SERIOUS, YES I AM TALKING TO THE FIST AGAIN / AND EVERY KNUCKLE SEEMS TO KNOW IT'S ONLY FAIR / I'M READY FOR THE ULTIMATE GOODBYE / SO OPEN UP THAT EVIL EYE / YOU WON'T NEED A PAPER SIGN TO KICK ME THIS TIME / I'M TELLING YOU I'M READY FOR THE ULTIMATE GOODBYE / SO OPEN UP THAT EVIL EYE / I MEAN IT, I'M READY

+ YOU & THE SOUND +

THE COLOR OF AMENITIES AND MATCHING KNEESOCKS INSIDE AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL / CIRCLE STREETS AND SUNLIGHT / IN ILLINOIS YOU'RE NEVER LOST / YOUR DRIVEWAY HEART IS TINTED THE COLOR OF DISCOVERY / AND JEALOUS ANIMALS LIKE ME / THE OUTER RING IS ALIVE / YOU CAN SEE CHICAGO SINKING IF YOU TRY / I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY / DIVIDING YOUR ATTENTION AND MY TIME / LOOKING FOR A WAY TO GET AROUND YOU AND THE SOUND OF A STRIP MALL SERENADE FADING / TO GET AROUND YOU AND THE SOUND OF THE SUBDIVISION LIGHTS FADING / I WANT TO BE A GENTLEMEN / TO GET AROUND YOU AND THE SOUND OF THE LAST GREAT SUMMER SONG FADING / TO GET AROUND YOU AND THE SOUND OF AN ADOLESCENT LIFE FADING
