Calm Before The Storm

Calm Before The Storm
"Calm Before The Storm"

I sat outside my front window...this story's going somewhere:
"He's well hung," and I am hanging up.
Well there's a song on the radio that says:
"Let's get this party started."
So let's get this party started.

What you do on your own time's just fine.
My imagination's much worse, I just never want to know.
What meant the world imploaded faded and demoted
All my oxygen to product gas and suffocated my last chance

You said, between your smiles and regrets: "Don't say it's over."
Dead and gone. Dead and gone.
Calm before the storm set it off, and the sun burnt out tonight.
A reception less than warm set it off, and the sun burnt out tonight.

The next time the phone can wring my neck it gets no answer
and of the time that I've spent telling it my roots
I'm shaking in my boots
But still it looks at me like an old friend I've betrayed
the darkside of the doormat is the one your shoes have frayed

What you do on your own time's just fine.
My imagination's much worse, I just never want to know.
What meant the world imploded, inflated then demoted all my oxygen
to product gas and suffocated my last chance.

You said, between your smiles and regrets: "Don't say it's over."
Dead and gone. Dead and gone.
Calm before the storm set it off, and the sun burnt out tonight.
A reception less than warm set it off, and the sun burnt out tonight.

Switchblades And Infidelity

Switchblades And Infidelity
"Switchblades And Infidelity"

Walking out on the show is walking out on you
And walking out on you's still the best thing that I ever did.

Last night I saw my world explode, yeah
Last night I saw my world explode, yeah
Last night I saw my world explode, yeah
Last night I saw my world explode

Well, I'm looking out at you obscured by the stand up arcade
And the sound of the descendents.
Your smile reminds me of switchblades and infidelity.

Walking out on the show is walking out on you
And walking out on you's still the best thing that I ever did.

Last night I saw my world explode, yeah
Last night I saw my world explode, yeah
Last night I saw my world explode, yeah
Last night I saw my world explode

One, two, three, four
Last night I saw my world explode, yeah
Last night I saw my world explode, yeah
Last night I saw my world explode, yeah
Last night I saw my world explode

Pretty In Punk

Pretty In Punk
"Pretty In Punk"

Walking off that stage tonight
I know what your thinking
And he stands alone because he's high on himself
But if you only knew..

I was terrified and would you mind if I sat next to you and watch you smile
So many kids but I only see you
And I don't think you notice me
Well I've seen your boyfriend and I don't think he treats you right
But that's none of my business is it?

I'm not the way you think I am
Nooooooo
I'm not the way you think I am
Nooooooo

The only girl who ever gave me the time was the one who only wanted five minutes of mine
Knocking boots in the back,
How degrading is that?
I decline

I'm too terrified and would you mind if I sat next to you and watch you smile
So many kids but I only see you
And I don't think you notice me
Well I've seen your boyfriend and I don't think he treats you right
But that's none of my business is it?

I'm not the way you think I am
Nooooooo
I'm not the way you think I am
Nooooooo

I'm not the way you think I am
Nooooooo
I'm not the way you think I am
Nooooooo
I'm not the way you think I am
Nooooooo
I'm not the way you think I am
Nooooooo

The World's Not Waiting (For Five Tired Boys And A Broken Down Van)

The World's Not Waiting (For Five Tired Boys And A Broken Down Van)
"The World's Not Waiting (For Five Tired Boys And A Broken Down Van)"

This might just be a waste of time
But there's no one I'd rather waste
My time with than all of my best friends
So start the car up

We'll all take turns but not for the worst
We're all "hasbeens" and "never-were's"
And we're all in the back singing "Roxanne" just watching life pass us by
Pass us by

As if we cared
Enough to try and catch up
Enough to make up for lost time
Enough to make up for lost time, yeah

We've been down
We've been out
We've been hanging 'round
Tip our glasses to having no direction
Start the van
Get me out of this one horse town
Waste this night

We've been down
We've been out
We've been hanging 'round
Tip our glasses to having no direction
Start the van
Get me out of this one horse town
Waste this night
Waste this night

We've been down
We've been out
We've been hanging 'round
Tip our glasses to having no direction
Start the van
Get me out of this one horse town
Waste this night
