Two birds of a feather
Say that they're always gonna stay together
But one's never going to let go of that wire
He says that he will
But he's just a liar
Two birds of a feather
Say that they're always gonna stay together
But one's never going to let go of that wire
He says that he will
But he's just a liar
Now the years are rolling by me
They are rocking evenly
And I am older than I once was
And younger than I'll be
But that's not unusual
No, it isn't strange
After changes upon changes
We are more or less the same
After changes we are
More or less the same
Is that why they call me a sullen girl, sullen girl?
They don't know I used to sail the deep and tranquil seas
But he washed me ashore
And he took my pearl
And left an empty
Shell of me
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from cavin' in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you?
'Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky
You're a seller, not a buyer, it occurs to me now
Trap a fly under a spider and you'd argue it out
I wanted to come back as soon as I left
But I promised to play for the rest of the guests
I was meant to be singing the words to your face
But you flew in and fell asleep at your place
As I walk out the door into your Garden of Eden
All the sunflower's faces bow down 'cause they're grieving
For the sound
Of the end of us
And the only thing
That I can recall from that scene
Are the wings on your back
And the gravel underneath my feet
I used to be afraid of myself
Hung my smile on a shelf
Hid my teeth when I laughed
Now I'm far too grown for your plot
For your balm
Will you root for me or will you leave?
She's the best friend we ever had
She's the raw flame
The live wire
She prays like a roman
With her eyes on fire
Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
A dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
Never change a thing
Doesn't bring you back
It's like blue on black
Darlin', I was only lyin' when I looked in your eyes, I'm
Cryin' diamonds like a river inside, and it's
So sad, so sexy
I was only lyin' when I looked in your eyes
Now I'm lyin' with you one last time, and it's
So sad, so sexy
So sad, so sexy
You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there ain't no Coup de Ville hiding at the bottom
Of a Cracker Jack box
Haven't I been good to you
What about that brand new ring
Doesn't that mean love to you
Doesn't that mean anything
If I threw away my pride
And I got down on my knees
Would you make me... beg you... pretty please
When I look up to the sky
I see your eyes a funny kind of yellow
I rush home to bed I soak my head
I see your face underneath my pillow
I wake next morning, tired, still yawning
See your face come peeping through my window
Pictures of matchstick men and you
Mirages of matchstick men and you
All I ever see is them and you
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
And if I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way
Do you feel the same 'cause you don't let it show
All the things I did, just so I could call you mine
All the things you did, well I hope I was your favorite crime…
I might get your heart racing, in my skin-tight jeans; be your teenage dream tonight.
Let you put your hands on me, in my skin-tight jeans; be your teenage dream tonight
