This is our party We pick the records We set the dresscode. And make love on the dance floor. Like it or not we're the Only game in town!
2.
This isn't for you I speak in tounges Teen face for the dream date That girl wears black jeans Paint it all black Yea paint it all black I want her to kiss those black jeans into me.
3.
Forever is so easy to say But I can't stand to wait And be slapped in the face I'll keep this to myself you can't know Smile for me Pretend it's alright Knocked down what's the use I can't make you happy I can't even make you feel anymore How can you look me in the face and say that I believe in fear and complacency What do you believe in
4.
We smiled and said "I'll see you this summer." But we know that it was over. That's just what you say to someone Who's dying. That's just what you say. This is to us. Our hands fit, at least for a while. I miss the face, I miss the taste I'm sorry about it all...
5.
Is this starting to make sense? Bring all your pennies To the five and dime. Wave goodbye. Wave goodbye. Wave goodbye. Wave goodbye. (Прощавай) Say the things you want to hear, But don't do the things we say. That kind of talk is for Phone calls at 4 am and Mix tape nostalgia. It's too quiet. Every word means something different. We'll recover like a brick to the face.
6.
I kiss the girls that speak Marcuse I kiss the boys that speak Foucault I love the kids that know Adorno And snub their nose at kids who don't I make love in theory and touch myself in practise What's good for the posture is good for the pose Who let the Tigers out to kill all the lovers?
7.
I miss you arms around me, If I only knew this would be our last kiss. My best was never good enough But, you were my favorite mistake. And I wonder do you still think of me?

"To hear something new is hard and painful for the ear. We hear the music of forigners badly." I make the sounds you can't understand- This is my critique! This is my subversion! This is my revolution! I make the sounds that you can't understand. My fingers, my voice Slide into every orifice. You own these words. This is friendship. That's what friends are for- I AM NIEZTCHE! 1886 was a very good year- and you know this to be true. Thus spake me.
10.
I know it's all wrong, but that's the only way. Breathe in the dust.. I'm leaving.. I hold hands with failure because we are quite a pair. I've never met someone so loyal, but I'm leaving you behind. I know it's all wrong, but that's the only way.
11.
"like anywhere else there are no coincidences, probability makes for accomplices and change creates meaning." When we move, it's a movement.
12.
When I die 1000 birds will fly out of my mouth.
13.
You tell me that passion's passe You're just in it for the breaks Well the breaks break me down, now how does that sound? And in 1999, all the kids stood in line, but now our party's a bore and we don't care We'll take Brooklyn over Manhattan any day of the week And our party's mystique will be our capability to think We got it. You want it. Don't have it? You flaunt it. My boyfriend lives in Brooklyn and it fits just right, too tight
14.
All of this means nothing. D.C. made me and the rest Of this mess. You don't even try to fake it. don't eve try. I'm here because i was ready to leave. This should mean more, but it can't. Go dance, dance. Dance to the sounds of america's best dressed fake-out.
15.
You say you miss those days, But we did it right. Quit the habit. started smoking again. I was crying, you were laughing. Hit in the face, blood on the snow We were never happier.
