ELECTRIC KISSING PARTY

FAR, FAR AWAY

Isn't it funny, to live for someone else's script, You spend a lot of money to catch that lift,  and isn't it good too, to not always get all that you want
But we'll be singin' 'boo hoo hoo' if great it's not Cuz everybody wants it so much better than anyone could ever let it be I guess I should get off it or whatever
but please comfort me...CHORUS George Lucas, is the Force with us? Will it save us from heartbreak in 1998?  Demons with the cat claws threaten us with their fake grace But angels without wings can't take their place And if it's just a smart bomb in a theater far, far away Well, we'll be singin' 'woo hoo hoo, oh man that's great!'  Cuz I never thought that this could happen, that I could ever feel this way again I know it's kinda dumb but it dosen't matter, I can't hold it in  CHORUS George Lucas, is the Force with us? Will it save us from heartbreak in 1998? George Lucas, don't lose your focus cuz the theaters will be full come what may come what may...(repeats)

DIAMOND RING
Daimond ring, I wonder what you bring Cuz it feels like it is a lot to this hand, if I don't see How every time I'm seeing clearly the sky fills ups with clouds But I think I'm just affraid of leaving a world without...  PRE CHORUS Surrender - will you marry me? Ever after - what does it mean?  I don't feel like being alone, but I still don't know But I'm just asking myself, cuz how's a diamond ring supposed to know  Don't insist it's all an awful bliss You can't pretend like it isn't all that bad Or did you miss... how every time I get to see her she's just about to leave and it looks like Halloween is still here on Christmas Eve  PRE CHORUS  I don't feel like being alone, but I still don't know Is a diamond ring just a shiny stone? And I've felt like this for a long time, and I know it shows But I'm just asking myself, cuz how's a diamond ring supposed to know  And by the time I figure it out I'll probably be about the age of fifty-three So now you've noticed how tight to my youth I cling, Yeah, well no one said we have to let go easily  CHORUS 

ALL THE NEW POISONS
I saw you laughin' at pictures in magazines, - starlings from way back when you were a kid and like everyone did, you worshipped them till the end. Then two albums later came short-haired invaders and Flannel kicked Leather's ass. You cursed what you knew was once to be true and tried to light Metal with gas. And the Poseurs are now laughing as the Circle of Fads spins again and now you dress like my old math teacher. Starling - I remember Metal Kings Starling - Don't forget the Metal Kings Hey, were you guessin' that this history lesson would not have a chapter for me? Yes it's true, I'm not terribly cool but I don't have a plan to be. All the new Poisons just have different toys and they all play their part perfectly. Albeit cooler, my Rockathon Ruler measures a small victory. Nothing's ever wrong that's real. And fakebooks can't show you how to feel. But it's over for me on the day my stomach's full - JADED! And they'll say that we're not cool enough when fashion has left us behind. And we'll just laugh and forget what year it is.

ROLL (ELECTRIC KISSING PARTIES PT. 1)
Well, you know, I didn't mean to look your way, but you knew why I was there - to know who's in your hair Unless you want to, don't answer Don't tell me what I want, hold on - hold on  Under the disco ball the scene is on And you like the way I roll - your best friend told me so Unless you want to, don't kill her Before you go too far, hold on...    It wasn't like she meant you harm, but I wouldn't give in I had to twist her arm for a synonym - oo yeah  Well, I asked the DJ for a Footloose song He played "Almost Paradise," I felt you melt like ice...  Onto my armour, onto my armour Until my skin was cold and prickly from your fire And if we make this song last until ALL SKATE, Forever rolls along at any rate - oo yeah  My mom and dad say since it's a Friday I can stay out until 1:00  Cuz I'm a good kid! And you know, I wanted to know if you would come...  Unless you want to, don't answer Before you get alarmed, hold on... At least before your skates come off, tell me one more thing - Do you want to roll around with me around this rink? If you refused my arm, it wouldn't do me harm Just say 'hi' to me on Monday

DOWNSTAIRS/ARENA ROCK
Crank the amps and light the mixer Let's fix the drummer's chair The cooks are here to wreck the kitchen While they sit and stare, let's take the dare Concern about this girl I'm turnin' - this girl This girl could eat my time up lovely Or this girl could swallow me Do I dare? Do you care? Do I dare to write this song? Do I dare? Do you care? When it's all there the world stops turnin', engine's burnin' Class dismissed! Don't pay attention. Throw your notebooks in the air! Yeah, school is in, but did we mention Today's the science fair - be sure you're there! Concern about this girl's allegiance - this girl This girl could be your best friend one day And this girl could up and leave

HAVING TOO MUCH FUN
I know you didn't call, but maybe you wanted to You probably figured so what, it's late and we can fight another night I miss you a ton and I doubt you know I still don't like to be away too long  But still, when I call you it just feels all wrong, cuz if I try to talk...  CHORUS Well, I'm still the one who's gone, still the one who's gone Feels like I'm having too much fun And I'm still the one who's gone, still the one who's gone Feels like I'm having too much fun  I know you didn't call, but maybe the thought scared you You figured I'm with someone else now and you don't wanna die tonight But I wish you would call me- I'd tell you how I want so much for you to come along  And I will when I call you - I just feel so lost, cuz if I tell it all...  CHORUS  I thought I'd find out while I dove but now I know I don't wanna have it all if I'm gonna feel so alone  CHORUS

CIRCUS HORRORS
Do ya think we need it Do ya think we feed it Does its stomach growl when we ring those bells? Do ya think we'll like it Should we be exited to see us both peel down, down to brand new skin?  CHORUS The circus tent is in town I always thought it would end feelin' like it's the worst it's been but you know, that's okay cuz I believe she said "I want you to know that Time turns into laughter and we'll be fallin' faster." So that's all it costs to play, but I'm not sure I'll ever see the day I'm not confused    Did ya see his daring Did ya feel like screamin' Did it make you see the horror in a dream? Can ya feel the fiction The myth and my mission To steal this bag of clowns and join the Freak Parade?  CHORUS

LIFERAFT HALO
I'm down to no more patience Lack of sentiment liferaft Sit down, the large heart slave will see you now Don't try to play it all down around me You know I see right through enough not to take it all the time. All said, I really don't care All said, I really don't see at all How that's the way I feel about you, too I'll stand down again And maybe if I see it fall I'll find I really don't care at all I see the more I save the less you wanna pay Offered on a silver plate what I gave It doesn't matter - I'm sick of seein' it through   Don't even know how much I paid to forget your face 

YOU WON'T SEE US
Invisible sound - that's the color of our younger years We're comin' to town - tell me are ya nervous? You won't see us Familiar sight - she's drunk and drivin' round in circles Held up to the light while we were out there Out in the Nowhere You won't see us The color of our younger years - invisible suits us fine You won't see us The color of those seventeen years, leavin' gave me quite a smile There' nothin' to do - 'cept stay out late and cause some trouble Might've seen a movie, but they were always PG, or PG-13 Beware the invisible ones You sweep them into your own backyards Beware - we're invisible - in our town

SILVER DATE
"No, I don't," I tell her tounge I tell her, still I drink it all And now my head's so silver numb I guess she's crystal clear  Cuz she's all a blur, playing quarter songs And she keeps her eyes at the jukebox on the needle til it falls    CHORUS Summer doll, my will's so low See her laughing on her own See her dancing all alone, again Tell my thoughts I will go home Singing like a drunken dove Dreaming like a bum in love again  Somewhere down her silver song I saw her turn and gently gave around My dumb eyes caught hers on me then she turned her heels  We'll never go, cuz we couldn't talk This silver date slips into the somber waitress' last call   CHORUS

THIS WILL BE LAUGHING WEEK

SHE DON'T EVEN KNOW MY NAME
She don't even know my name She won't even look my way In a word, I'm a dog and it chills me to the bone All I want is just to walk her home PRE CHORUS She asked me if I heard her say that she's just fine on her own But I don't like I always do As if it matters, cuz we're only in a school zone When she looks at me her eyes are cold She thinks I'm acting five years old And I will prove her wrong If it kills me, then so what At my funeral just play "Home Sweet Home" PRE CHORUS CHORUS And there's one chance left to get it on Just one chance left, cuz soon she'll be gone And there's on chance left to get it on She called me a four-eyes and my glasses weren't on She don't wanna stay here too long - I can fell it And she don't wanna change to belong, and she wants to know why the world's so serious, cuz she don't know what for? Hope we fall in love before I wake up CHORUS If I don't go get that girl now I won't find one at all Cuz nothin' ever lasts for long...

TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT (I'LL BE ANYTHING)
A night in June, I'm crawlin' out from a silk cocoon I hit the town, put on my shoes - cuz Friday night I fall in love She comes into view, from out of nowhere, a girl so cool She makes me sick of my excuses, now I gotta see this through PRE CHORUS Does she see me...can she hear me...what I'm thinking to say to her? CHORUS Tell me what you want - I'll be it, darling it's Anything you want - look no more Just let me stay the night, I'll sleep on the floor Tell me what you see - I'll see it even if It's invisible to everyone I think you know that I can see you girl, so don't fight it, love Just bouncin' through, the dancefloor's beaming with kangaroos It's been so long since I felt good, that know I don't know what to do She's got the moves, butterscotch hair splashes her perfume and when she smiles it's X-ray, definitely cuts through a crowded room PRE CHORUS - CHORUS And I wish I could And I wish I would Everytime I think I, I think should I feel I'm no good CHORUS

OF COURSE WE WILL
Pull the covers up, turn out the lights Believe me, it'll be alright I know you had it in your sights But still you can't stay up all night Let down - you're spun around You just can't think about that now Cuz it's never quite like the plans your head dreams up and I'm telling you know that... CHORUS We could dream all night here baby 'bout our time in the sun It takes a lot to get things done, but of course we will And we can't spend our time on something that might not ever come So just sit back cuz this I know: of course we will So you've tried to hold it in But still it doesn't help when they say "Hey get up! Sit down again!" I guess that's how it goes and There's no sound - you're spun around You just can't let it get you down Cuz that movie that's called "Life Sucks" stars everyone and you're a bit part, girl CHORUS

BROKYN NEEDLE
Me and Mot were rockin' out back in his bedroom Underneath a tapestry of a Motley Crue back in their youth No time to just wake up from dreamin' CHORUS Brokyn Needle doesn't need no cigarettes cuz we're that cool Basement majesties and desperate hearts, Yeah, but it's okay jammin' after school cuz I'm gonna be a star I got a muscle shirt and Mot has got some black boots Pink bandanna, glitter jeans and a fake tattoo and you're set, dude No time to just wake up from dreamin' CHORUS singin'.... "Are You Ready To Rock?" - it's not a question, baby (repeats) Are you ready to rock, cuz I'm filled with somethin', ...it's all I got CHORUS

A MILLION HEARTS
It's insane - don't know why I came Guess just to see you here But from far away, all I see is him and I just move on this is crazy... "No date for the prom?" you say as we both finally meet Then your smile fades, and I see in your eyes that it's all no fun Then you turn back to him as the prom theme song comes on... CHORUS I'm still in love, but I'm one of a million hearts you'll someday break Close my eyes, but still I won't give up, still I won't give up...no way I'll wait, in this dancefloor haze and suffer this silly suit just for one more gaze And I'm sneakin' around like a fool - so dumb On a Saturday night, man, is this what I've become? CHORUS And I know that I still don't believe it's true But I can't let you go and I don't know what to do CHORUS

SOAKED IN CINNAMON
She said, she said "You're the only one who knew what time it was" I said, I said "Time is always fun when you don't notice it" CHORUS Why do I feel soaked in cinnamon? Every time she touches me I choke and her sugar sin gets hotter on my tongue I said, I said "You're the only one my sister thinks is cool" She said, she said "Cool is always easy in a shitty school" CHORUS Code Red... Code Red Cuz this rocketheart's on fire I guess - I guess But why do I feel soaked in a sugar kiss? Blister till I choke, then I just dismiss the flames around me CHORUS

THIS WILL BE LAUGHING WEEK
Step up to the stage, kids - and don't retreat from this Carnival of Volume I know that you're red-eyed and bloodshot-beat -you just can't lick that all day frown And now you're rollercoaster sick and drinkin' lemonade Well, listen up CHORUS On Sunday the tears were fallin' and trickling down your cheeks, But yesterday's cares are no big deal Cuz this will be laughing week They won't let us in now cuz we're all freaks So grab your magic cartoon costumes And then clap your hands and just stomp your feet and let this medicine buzz on and on Like carousels in stereo, and don't jump off no, don't jump off CHORUS On Sunday the tears were fallin' and trickling down our cheeks But yesterday's cares are no big deal Cuz this will be laughing week

LITTLE APPLE GIRL
Don't lie little darlin' - you're all in love Who else rides a week night in a nowhere bus? - Sorta rough, but this one's a little faster than I thought Don't lie - we'll know Little Apple girl, we'll know CHORUS Hope you don't mind it if I'm - if I'm outta line Cuz I've been drinkin' and I'm felling fine - felling fine Twenty bucks to just say - say what's on my mind I couldn't then, but who cares - now it's time - now it's time Don't cry little darlin' - it's all in fun Your heart's not a target for my loaded gun Sewed her up, but this one's never gonna come undone by us - we're drunk Little Apple girl, we're drunk CHORUS

I'M ALL OUT OF IT NOW
I'm all out of it now I'm all messed up and dressed down I don't know anyone around because I'm out of it For weeks and years and months it seems I'm out of everything I need No, don't ask for anything - I'm out of it CHORUS It must be a cool thing It must be a cool place It must be a cool state of mind Cuz it's always behind me - where I can't find it I'm all out of it now And I just gotta have it loud And I could never turn it down because I'm out of it For weeks and years and months it seems I play my fingers 'till they bleed The price of fame is what I need - I'm out of it CHORUS

GLITTER & GLUE
I've never seen your glitter shine so see-thru as right here I've been between myself on me and you Is it good enough for a run? Is it good enough for the fun? Now you've made me see and I'm excited cuz.... CHORUS Now it's a "No" Now it's a big "No" Is that honest enough for you? So now that you know, it's all there I'll sit and watch you go And I ain't findin' it hard to do I can't believe I never saw all these clues - they're right here Like silver sprinkles in your skin of glue Did it look good enough for a run? Did it look good enough for the fun? Always wait to see if I'll just buy it - but... CHORUS You know, you're only glitter and glue

REAL DRUMS
I bought your record, and I fell crestfallen By the borrowed blisters of an old time zone Cuz I remember when the backbeat wasn't programmed in and heroes were still human and messed up CHORUS Cuz they rocked on real drums (twice) don't let this carry on, dear son Real drums forever... I guess I can't say much, cuz you got me dancin' But if this ain't new disco, it sure as hell comes close And I'll smile if you win, but now you've got me wondering if this means you're inspired or washed up CHORUS

PERFECT HAIR
Perfect hair is all we really need We spend so much of our energies on recipes When life success - it can be guaranteed With a modern style, you can go the mile ...it's perfect hair
