The New Abnormal

They’ve been sayin’ you’re sophisticated

They’re complainin’, overeducated

You are saying all the words I’m dreaming

Say it after me

Say it after me

They will blame us, crucify and shame us

We can’t help it if we are a problem

We are tryin’ hard to get your attention

I’m climbin’ up your wall

Climbin’ up your wall

Don’t go there ’cause you’ll never return

I know you think of me when you think of her

But then it don’t make sense when you’re trying hard

To do the right thing, but without recompense

And then you did something wrong and you said it was great

And now you don’t know how you could ever complain

Because you’re all confused ’cause you want me to

But then you want me to do it the same as you

You were waitin’ for the elevator

You were sayin’ all the words I’m dreaming

No more askin’, questions, or excuses

The information’s here

Here and everywhere

Don’t go there ’cause you’ll never return

I know you think of me when you think of her

But then it don’t make sense when you’re trying hard

To do the right thing but without recompense

And then you did something wrong and you said it was great

And now you don’t know how you could ever complain

Because you’re all confused ’cause you want me to

But then you want me to do it the same way as you, and but

I don’t, I don’t want anything

I know it’s not, it’s not your fault

I don’t want anyone

As I do it’s not for you

Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah, ooh, ooh

Stockholders

Same shit, a different life

I’ll get it right sometime

Oh, maybe not tonight

Oh, maybe not tonight

Oh, maybe not tonight

Oh, maybe not tonight

Oh, maybe not tonight

Yeah boy, here we go

And a one, and a two, and a three

Here we go friends (Hold on, I can’t)

Maybe that’s a kooky situation

So let’s go back to the old key, old tempo, everything

Can the dark side light my way out? Yeah, yeah

Lay your hand across my face, yeah, yeah

Time we lost, that’s all my fault

Please don’t be long, ’cause I want you now

I don’t have love without you around

Life is too short, but I will live for you

How did this fit in your story? Yeah-eah

Why’d you let them judge your body? Yeah-eah

I’ll be waitin’ there outside, yeah

Please don’t be long, ’cause I want your all

I don’t have fun without your love

Life is too short, but I will live for you

You’re mucking off, but I will live for you, my selfless love

Bite my tongue, I wait my turn

I waited for a century

Waste my breath, no lessons learned

I turn and face the enemy

I’m not scared, just don’t care

I’m not listening, you hear?

He’s never there, but I don’t care

I can’t tell you what and where

Yeah-eah

One shot is never enough

I just wait for us to go in circles

A lifetime of giving my all for you

(Hostile, give me a break)

(Don’t say it’s in the bottle of air)

And first, he would tell me I’m his friend

Actually, no thanks, I’m okay

And then he would send weird looks my way

I want new friends, but they don’t want me

They’re making plans while I watch TV

Thought it was you, but maybe it’s me

I want new friends, but they don’t want me

And the ’80s song, yeah, how did it go?

When they said, “This is the beginning of the best years”

Even though, false, break

One shot is never enough

I just wait for this to go into circles

And the distance from my room, is anything so necessary?

I was thinking about that thing that you said last night, so boring

And the ’80s bands? Oh, where did they go?

Can we switch into the chorus right now?

I want new friends, but they don’t want me

They have some fun, but then they just leave

Is it just them? Or maybe all me?

Why my new friends don’t seem to want me

Hurts my case, but that’s okay

It hurts my case, but that’s okay

We’re dancing on a moonbeam

On and on and on and on and on

The deeper I get, the less that I know

That’s the way that it go

The less that I know, the deeper I go

Juliet, I adore

The deeper I get, the less that I know

Diminishing returns, oh

Oh, that’s how it goes

All I wanna say

On another song

On another day

On another song

On another day

On another song

On another break

Dropped down the lights, I’m sitting with you

Moscow, 1972

Always singin’ in my sleep

I will leave it in my dreams

Oh, makin’ bad decisions

Oh, makin’ bad decisions

Making bad decisions for you

Yeah, makin’ bad decisions

Uh-oh, makin’ bad decisions

Makin’ bad decisions for you

Pick up your gun

Put up those gloves

Save us from harm

Safe or alone

Oh baby, I hang on everything you say

I wanna write down every word

But do me a favor when you come through

When I look around, don’t wanna see you

I don’t take advice from fools

Never listenin’ to you

Oh, makin’ bad decisions

Oh, makin’ bad decisions

Making bad decisions with you

Oh, makin’ bad decisions

Uh-oh, makin’ bad decisions

I’m makin’ bad decisions with you

Pick up your gun

Put up those gloves

Save us from harm

Safe or alone

You, you didn’t listen to me

But I, I didn’t listen to you

I waited so long listening for

Something to work

I’m makin’ bad decisions

Really, really bad decisions

I’m makin’ bad decisions

On you, on you

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I’m not gonna give a lot of credit

I don’t know how to use, how

‘Cause I can’t, I can’t

I can’t, can’t make anymore

This, and I never let it happen

Hey, yeah, oh

When I think of you

It’s always on my mind

Is that story true?

No one saves the day (Hey, yeah, oh)

Don’t you want the truth?

Ignore reality

See, I love that feeling too

Nobody’s gonna stop right now (Hey, yeah, oh)

Summer is coming, won’t go away

Summer is coming, it’s here to stay (Hey, yeah, oh)

I can’t believe it

This is the eleventh hour

Psychedelic

Life is such a funny journey

Hercules, your service is no longer needed

It’s just like make-believe (Hey, yeah, oh)

They got the remedy

But they won’t let it happen

Yeah, they got the remedy

But they won’t let it happen (Hey, yeah, oh)

(Hey, yeah, oh)

Now that you heard the truth

All I need a friendly face

I hate that feeling too

But no one’s unafraid (Hey, yeah, oh)

Don’t expect the truth

This is a fantasy

I fight that feeling too

But nobody’s gonna stop us now (Hey, yeah, oh)

Summer is coming, won’t go away

Summer is coming, it’s here to stay (Hey, yeah, oh)

Lo and behold the salt of the city

Pillars like time are fading away

Symphony building up to a future

Mystery to solve for somebody else (Hey, yeah, oh)

I can’t believe it

Life is such a funny journey

Psychedelic

This is the eleventh hour

Hercules, your service is no longer needed

It’s just like make-believe

They got the remedy

But they won’t let it happen

Yeah, they got the remedy

But they won’t let it happen

Everybody’s on the take

Tell me, are you on the take too?

Everybody’s on the take

Tell me, are you on the take too?

(Hey, yeah, oh)

(Hey, yeah, oh)

Look up on the bright side

I’m not gonna give it to ya

Look at it on the bright side (Hey, yeah, oh)

Look up on the bright side

I’m not gonna give it to ya

Look at it on the bright side (Hey, yeah, oh)

Look up on the bright side

I’m not gonna give it to ya

Look at it on the bright side (Hey, yeah, oh)

Look up on the bright side

I’m not gonna give it to ya

Look at it on the bright side (Hey, yeah, oh)

I can’t escape it

I’m never gonna make it out of this in time

I guess that’s just fine

I’m not there quite yet

My thoughts, such a mess

Like a little boy

What you runnin’ for?

Run at the door

Anyone home?

Have I lost it all?

Struck me like a chord

I’m an ugly boy

Holdin’ out the night

Lonely after light

You begged me not to go

Sinkin’ like a stone

Use me like an oar

And get yourself to shore

A bang at the door

Anyone home?

That’s just what they do

Right in front of you

Like a cannonball

Slammin’ through your wall

In their face, I saw

What they’re fightin’ for

I can’t escape it

I’m never gonna make it ’til the end, I guess

Struck me like a chord

I’m an ugly boy

Holdin’ out the night

Lonely after light

Bangin’ on the door

I don’t wanna know

Sinkin’ like a stone

So use me like an oar

Hard to fight what I can’t see

Not tryna build no dynasty

I can’t see beyond this wall

But we lost this game

So many times before

Lying on the cold floor

I’ll be waiting, yeah

I’ll be waiting from the other side

Waiting for the tide to rise

Lying on the cold floor

I’ll be waiting, yeah

I’ll be waiting from the other side

Waiting for the tide to rise

I sing a song, I paint a picture

My baby’s gone, but I don’t miss her

Like a swan, I don’t miss swimming

All my friends left, and they don’t miss me

Can’t take it, babe

Your body talks to me

Like in a movie, babe

I let it resonate, yeah

I want your time (Time, time)

Don’t ask me questions (Questions, questions)

That you don’t want (Want, want)

The answers to (To, to)

I love you and I’m honest, so you know it’s no lie

You’re hidin’ in the background but you wanna be found

You’ve got me on my back and now I’ve gotta think fast

You’re hidin’ in the background but you wanna be found

I take it easy, babe, I

I get down, it’s automatic, uh

I’ve come to believin’ that

That too much time is evil

I transition in

I’m making your body wait

Like on an aeroplane

Please, baby, take me away, yeah

I want your time (Time, time)

Don’t ask me questions (Questions, questions)

That you don’t want (Want, want)

The answers to (To, to)

I know

I know

I know

I know

I kinda miss the nine-to-five, yeah

Do those things that you can’t hide

I scramble, fight just like a child

Hey, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

I’m staying hungry, I’m staying hungry

I’m staying hungry, I’m staying hungry

Not getting angry, I’m staying hungry

Not getting angry, staying, staying hungry

Yeah

Hold on, hold on, hold

The click was always in you Fab

It was never on

It was never on

You’re not the same anymore

Don’t wanna play that game anymore

You’d make a better window than a door

Oh, the strangers, they implore

It gets so easy to ignore

Just like the girl next door

Uncle’s house, it was noon

Sorry, boy, I can’t employ ya

You are strange, but I like you

Sorry, this is overdue

I promised I would do it right

Her and a boy on a Saturday night

And now the door slams shut

A child prisoner grows up

To seek his enemy’s throat cut

(I’m on and on it, on and on and on it)

We’re on the way, fuel the jet

Can see that what he wants, he gets

What does your sworn enemy regret?

I didn’t know, I didn’t care

I don’t even understand

Did somethin’ wrong, I wasn’t sure

Stay on top of this, or else

I was afraid, I fucked up

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I couldn’t change, it’s too late

And now it’s time to show up

Late again, I can’t grow up

And now it’s on me, they’ve given up

Uncle’s house, I forget

Violent tendencies I get

Your timing sucks, she went overboard

Don’t forget, you are insured

I didn’t know, I wasn’t sure

Can’t remember all that well

I couldn’t change, was too late

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Up on his horse, up on his horse

Not gonna wake up here anymore

Listen one time, it’s not the truth

It’s just a story I tell to you

Easy to say, easy to do

But it’s not easy, well, maybe for you

Hope that you find it, hope that it’s good

Hope that you read it, think that you should

Cuts you some slack as he sits back

Sizes you up, plans his attack

Da-da-da

Drums please, Fab

And I got it all, I got it all

Waitin’ for me down on the street

But now you gotta do somethin’ special for me

I’m gonna say what’s on my mind

Then I’ll walk out, then I’ll feel fine

Yeah, I’m under his thumb, I’m on his back

I will not show my teeth too quick

I needed you there, I needed you there

But I didn’t know, I didn’t know

Go alone

I’ll go alone

We’ll go alone

I’ll go alone

Back from his trip, he’s at the door

When he gets back, he’s on the phone

Innocent eye, innocent heart

No, it’s not wrong, but it’s not right

Innocent time, out on his own

Not gonna do that, fuck, I’m out of control

I was just bored, playin’ the guitar

Learned all your tricks, wasn’t too hard

It’s the last one now, I can promise you that

I’m gonna find out the truth when I get back

Gone now are the old times

Forgotten, time to hold on the railing

The Rubik’s Cube isn’t solving for us

Old friends, long forgotten

The old ways at the bottom of

The ocean now has swallowed

The only thing that’s left is us

So pardon the silence that you’re hearing

It’s turnin’ into a deafening, painful, shameful roar
