Ready...Break lyrics

I grew up on Five Alive
And Transformers and Slip-n-Slide
Toy's R Us and Chuck-e-Cheeze
Disco out and techno in
To synthesize my favorite sin
And here I am on my knees
To get it back again

Babies of the 8

Give me an answer
Why this cancer eats me away
How this restlessness
Could turn into a day
I fear what comes first
And the things that hide in the night
But I'm quaking, and shaking
Even now that it's light

And no I don't feel right
I can see but I've lost my sight
I'm high, so high
Like Ben Franklin's Kite

And maybe you'll find me
On another lonely street
By the smell of summer
After she rains

I kissed a drunk girl
I kissed a drunk girl, yes I did
Kissed a drunk girl on the lips
I let my guard down
How could I have been so dumb?
Her eyes were open
I know I am not the one
I know I am not the one
I know I am not the one

I kissed a drunk girl
Why do I do these things I do to myself?
I kissed a drunk girl
And now I'm sure I could have been anybody else

I went to her house

A train crashed
And everything slows down
I was wishing I could get out of this town
These dreams we've had
Have never made you cry
And I am not a twinkle in your eye
But I've got to get out of here
Cause you drive me up the wall
I've got to get out of here
Cause I can't stand to fall

And if I die
See you won't be so close to me
And I won't be the one
Who sticks around
If I'm awake

I met you last month at a party
You brought me up, you brought me down
You came to me last night as an apparition
And I came around

What's with you and all your talk of independence?
What's with me and my lack of innocence?

Keep it, locked up, inside the pocket
And maybe I will sleep
I'll be right there inside the pocket
And you'll be knee deep

My palms were sweaty and my heart grew big

I can't imagine all the people that you know
And the places that you go
When the lights are turned down low
And I don't understand all the things you've seen
But I'm slipping in-between
You and your big dreams
It's always you, in my big dreams

And you tell me that its over
But I can't stand here in a patch of four leaf clover
And you're restless, and I'm naked
You've got to get out

What can I say? The man had chiggers

He graduated with a degree in Poly-Sci
Premeditated what he would do until he died
And then he faded into a never-rising sky
Surfaced in the airforce, then learned how to fly

Mulligan goes to war
Mulligan goes to war
The days are gone
When he could tell you what he's fighting for
Mulligan goes to war

Flew helicopters with a patriotic grin

This goes out to the radio stations going out to you

Lucy, I've confessions
I don't think you want to know
Lets just sit back
Forget about what's passed
You see my lungs are wet with age
Beyond what I can show
This is the first time
It's not the last
It's not the last

And it's been long since I've been wrong
Since I've moved on
And now my empty chorus falls on empty ears

When it all just fits
No more waiting up till midnight, to see if he comes home
And it sinks in
Through these holes in your old bed sheets
You might spend your life alone
And you dont wanna be alone
No not alone

When you think too much
And you came to another game, despondent and out of touch
And you reach so hard it makes you fall
Through these hands that let you go

At Cavanaugh Park
Where I used to sit all alone in the dark
And dream about things that I cannot say
You always said destiny would blow me away
And nothing's gonna blow me away

At Cavanaugh Park
Where you used to take me to play in the sand
And said to me, "Son, one day you'll be a man
And men can do terrible things."
Yes they can

And there was never any place

Staring into the intersection, she thinks that she can fly and she might
Holding on in a new direction, she's gonna try it tonight
The closer I get to feeling, the further that I'm feeling from alright
The more I step into the sun, the more I step out of the light

Jessica is covered ina blanket on a Sunday porch
Thinking of the weekends she would party in the city

I can't imagine all the people that you know
And the places that you go
When the lights are turned down low
And I don't understand all the things you've seen
But I'm slipping in between
You and your big dreams
It's always you
In my big dreams

And you tell me that it's over
Wake up lying in a patch
Of four leaf clovers
And you're restless
And I'm naked
You gotta get out
