Slingshot

Like this woman on the train who's eating Funyuns in a blazer,
You are hopeless, you are strange,
You are slick-sharp as a razor.
And on the razor's edge of tragic flaws, carpe diem.
You look so pretty with your hair down so to hell with them, hey!
Don't count me out.
It'd take a freight train to stop me now.
(ooh whoa) And like a slingshot, I’m coming home.
I'll let you come, won't let you down.
Here's your character portrayed in a faded button-down.
(Don’t let up!) Like a slingshot, I'm going off.
(Don't let go!) But I'll always come back around.
Looking for the FedEx box and I very nearly cry
'cause if you were here you'd have found it in precisely zero time.
And made a clear and concise map
To remember for next time
And wrote a sick list of band names on - the other side, hey!
Don't count me out.
It'd take a freight train to stop me now.
(ooh whoa) And like a slingshot, I’m coming home.
I'll let you come, won't let you down.
Here's your character portrayed in a faded button-down.
(Don’t let up!) Like a slingshot, I'm going off.
(Don't let go!) But I'll always come back around.
I’ll always come around.
We can run like grifters, hole up in a cheap motel. And just scrape by.
Don't count me out.
It'd take a freight train to stop me now.
And like a slingshot, I’m coming home.
I'll let you come, won't let you down.
Don't count me out.
It'd take a freight train to stop me now.
(ooh whoa) And like a slingshot, I’m coming home.
I'll let you come, won't let you down.
Something nuclear in force
On the verge of melting down.
(Don't let up!) Like a slingshot, I'm going off.
(Don't let go!) But I'll always come back around.
(ooh whoa oh) Always come around. Always come around. I'll always come around.

Rats Abandon Ship

We’re foaming at the mouth this time
Somehow we never seem to get to it.
All around, they’re saying,
"Was just an honest mistake" but I
I thought I'd never hear the end of it
Time and eyes conveying:
Hold my heart, we’re gonna make it to the end of the world
With no direction, like rats abandon ship.
Hold my heart, we’re gonna make it to the end of the world
With no direction, to stop the suffering.
We lose friends,
Get by on weekend nights and overdrive.
Ten gets you five.
(Head down!) Head down, avert your eyes. (Head down!)
Or you will never hear the end of it.
"Stand aside," they’re saying.
Hold my heart, we’re gonna make it to the end of the world
(whoa) With no direction, like rats abandon ship.
Hold my heart, we’re gonna make it to the end of the world
(whoa) With no direction.
And I’m holding on, and I’m trying.
Not gonna let it fall apart, I’m trying to save it.
And I’m holding on, and I’m trying.
Not gonna let it fall apart, I’m trying to save it.
Just let me down (Just let me down).
And I’m holding on, and I’m trying.
Not gonna let it fall apart, I’m trying to save it.
And I’m holding on, and I’m trying.
Not gonna let it fall apart, I’m trying to save it.
Trying to save it. Trying to save it. Trying to save it.
(whoa) Hold my heart, we’re gonna make it to the end of the world
(whoa) With no direction, like rats abandon ship
(whoa) Hold my heart, we’re gonna make it to the end of the world
(whoa) With no direction.

Shoot Straight

You’ll have to pull me through the gate to Hell.
‘Cause FUCK YOU, I don’t go nowhere without you.
Lately I been wondering
If I get cold-cocked by a rogue swing breaking fights up at some gin sling, will I
Momentarily feel something new?
It’s a Wednesday and you’re breathing so a heartbreak’s overdue.
Say what you wanna say.
(You’re gonna say it anyway.)
Will you remember anything?
(When you sober up again.)
Say my name.
Oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh.
I could be so bad for you.
‘Cause I’m about as stable as a three-legged table, it’s true.
Let’s play Left 4 Dead in your full-size bed.
Pull the curtains, block the neighbors’ view.
Say what you wanna say.
(You’re gonna say it anyway.)
Will you remember anything?
(When you sober up again.)
I believe you, I believe you, I believe you. Oh!
Oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh.
Tell me again, will you tell me if I’m crazy or right?
Oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh.
Shoot straight, shoot straight with me tonight.
Oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh.
Tell me again, will you tell me if I’m crazy or right?
Oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh.
Shoot straight, shoot straight with me tonight.
Oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh.
Tell me again, will you tell me if I’m crazy or right?
Oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh.
Shoot straight, shoot straight with me tonight.
Oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh.
