Everybody I know, they have no soul
Everybody asks me to undress
Everybody I know, they ain't got no soul
Everybody tells me to undress
Like love on tv and movies
Manage to make myself a mess
Like love on TV and movies I'm so
I'm so obsessed with your dress stress
Whatcha gonna wear when you gonna get there
We choose to believe
I'm a mess you have to pick up
You've got to believe
Sixteen and pink what do you think

love is lost like polihed brass. like your youth it never lasts. you have to quit the con and the kid. careers in crush never did pay off. you're always aiding in the breaking of my heart. it's allright it's allright. turn to air inside my arms. it's allright it's allright. i will find my future scars. angels sit on finger tips as prayers are pursed on painted lips. you're always aiding in the breaking of my when you get to the bottom got to pick it up. when you get to the top then you're stuck there. you're so scared. all of the times in your life that you said you were wasting you're just wasting your time.

before i left we looked at hooks and lures in your old box the silver gone the red of rust was better and we talked about your brother the crook who broke your window and who stole the show at your own father's funeral i wasnt there but i cried for you he stole from death and from life at the same time and thats why i never want to live my life saying things like i wish i knew what always happened to you and this is what your death would be like ill crash alone and clean alone and this is what your death would be like ill drink alone and dream alone your number like an epitaph was scratched into my head and it replaced what common sense i had left and i found it out with a fake name and spanish accent and a story practiced before calling your parents and you know i think they knew i planned my death and my life at the same time and thats why i never want to live my life saying things like i wish i knew what always happeded to you and this is what your death would be like ill slip alone and sleep alone and this is what your death would be like ill drive alone ill be alone and one month isnt long enough to put yourself inside a box i wanted you to hear this song a love one not a requiem it says things i could never say or at least could not explain its for you as well for them a love one not a requiem

Like a tiger I know you have claws too big for a pet
Danger danger it's a lie you haven't hurt anyone yet
All of the times we live life like we're in a cage
Never believe in someone else
You can change the day
Like a tiger I know you have skin so soft I confess
Pitter, patter
Always buy a pet you love to caress
So you've got yourself a big old car
And a sunken pool in the back yard
Well it doesn't matter much to me
It makes no sense to me if you want a tiger
It makes no sense to me if you want to change

i have the same dream everynight and in the end i always wake up right before i cry out like a child in the dead of the night scared of thunder scared of might but you're by my side and we were both born on the fourth of july about fifteen minutes before midnight my mother's bridesmaids dressed in black and her bouquet was drenced in gas some tradition from her past my father's hands were painted red to show that he had some success i guess and they were both born on the fourth of july about fifteen minutes before midnight i feel like an arsonist because you are my perfect match and you light up everything around you i feel like an arsonist and its not an accident that you light up everything around you my mother's hair was braided black and running clean right down her back cutting her white dress in half her ring it sparkled ruby red her lipstick kissed into a mess i guess and they were both born on the fourth of july about 15 minutes before midnight i feel like an arsonist because you are my perfect match and you light up everything around you i feel like an arsonist and its not an accident that you light up everthing around you i was never under control and i knew i would never get old i was always fast and so free and taller than the highest of trees its time to take it up a degree and there is really nothing i need i just have to remember to breathe and guard against the heat when around you
