Date With a Vampire

All my friends said you were a skank
then you dumped me, because I didn't do crank.
On our date we went to bowl,
but all you wanted was my mortal soul.

My friends hated you-
but I didn't care at all.
Then you threw-
my mortal soul on the wall.
On the wall...


Dragonslayer

I'd do anything for you
yeah, that's what I would do.
I'd slay a dragon for you,
that's what I'd do.

The dragon's dead
that's what I said.
But still you won't
give me a chance.

I did anything-
and everything for you.
That's all I did 
all I ever did.

Now I'm still left standing
but what am I supposed to do
with this dragon I slayed for you?



Elevator Friends (Hallway Enemies)

I stepped outside today,
the anger turns me away
and here I am stuck 
with nothing to say.

You told me we were through with the lies
Oh well, suprise suprise,
here I am standing again
with my good ole paper friend.

In the hallway I see a different side of your face
It's these scars you can't erase.
In the elevator youre just like the terminator,
it's like I just can't win.

I took a walk in the park today,
what do you know.. someone else thought I was gay.
And here I am stuck thinking of her.
I just don't want to take it today
but the wuss inside shoves it all away
and here I am stuck with a lot more left to say.

Elevator friends, hallway enemies.
Elevator friends, hallway enemies.
You left me cryin' like Conan O'brian.


She's Out The Door


In my short time there are few things I regret
not talking to you is one I won't forget.
I would get so close I could smell your perfume,
but I always ended up dreaming of you in my room.

I told myself everynight-
tommorow I would make it right.
But then I waited too long-
got the courage, then you were gone.

It was so hard, you'll never know
when I asked you to come to our show.
I gave you our demo decorated with a smiley face,
just remember nobody can take your place.

When it comes to girls I am last in line,
but I would have done anything to make you mine.
And if you had never up and moved away,
I might still be that scared kid today.

I waited - longer and longer
in the end it made me stronger.
Because now I know next time,
I won't let her get away that easy.

She's out the door.


Drive-By Haircut
(Lyrics written by Jed Lane)

Against all advice I found my future wife. My parents don't agree about this phillistine. I cried all night long, then I wrote this emo song. How could she cut off all my hair? I thought I knew her, she didn't even care. Without my feelings I cried all night long, woke up this morning and wrote this emo song. Drive-By haircut..


You and Your Good Intentions

Ive been searching for myself cause I got nobody else to depend on, it's all just me. A car goes passing by, I feel like I could die. here in this sweltering heat. These days seem to get longer, is this supposed to make me stronger? Sometimes I wonder about you and your good intentions. And there's still a ring in my ears, I've pushed back all the fears, this time I'm gonna take us all out. I don't know what I'm gonna say, I'll feel stupid about this someday. But right now I really don't care. The stars seem a little closer than they did yesterday. And the air seems a little thicker, we'll remember this someday. You've been searching for yourself, cause you've got nobody else to depend on, It's always been you. Jets go roaring by, don't you feel like you could die? Here in this sweltering heat. Can you reach back and remember, when we didn't have to lie. Just to make our selves feel better, Don't act so suprised.
