"I know the score like the back of my hand. Them other boys, I don't give a damn. They kiss on the ring, I carry the crown. Nothing can break, nothing can break me down. Don't need no advice, I got a plan. I know the direction, the lay of the land, I know the score like the back of my hand. Them other boys, I don't give a damn."

"Racing shadows through the moonlight Through the desert on a hot night. For a second there we won, We were innocent and young."

"Don't give up on me 'Cause I'm just in a rut. I'm climbing but the walls keep stacking up."

"Spent the summer just layin' out in the sun. Time seems to move so slowly, when you're taking it as it comes. Maybe we were just too young. Your body was tan and your hair was long. You shot me a smile and my cares were gone Fallin' in love filled my soul with fright You said, "Come on, babe, it'll be alright." I must've been a fool to the bitter end, Now I hold on to hope that I'll have you back again."

"Run for cover, Run while you can, baby, don't look back. You gotta run for cover. Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out trap, man. You know you're not the only one. And don't look back, just run for cover."

"The good old days, the honest man, The restless heart, the Promised Land. A subtle kiss that no one sees, A broken wrist and a big trapeze. Oh, well, I don't mind if you don't mind 'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine. Before you go, can you read my mind?"

"Or should I just get along with myself? I never did get along with everybody else. I've been trying hard to do what's right, But you know I could stay here all night And watch the clouds fall from the sky."

"There was an open chair. We sat down in the open chair. I said if destiny’s kind, I’ve got the rest of my mind. But my heart, it don’t beat, it don’t beat the way it used to. And my eyes, they don’t see you no more. And my lips, they don’t kiss, they don’t kiss the way they used to. And my eyes don’t recognize you at all.For reasons unknown, For reasons unknown."

"Always here, always on time Close call, was it love or was it just easy? Money talks when people need shoes and socks. Steady boys, I'm thinking she needs me.I was just sipping on something sweet, I don't need political process."

"We hope you enjoy your stay Outside the sun is shining It seems like heaven ain't far away."

"They say the devil's water — it ain't so sweet. You don't have to drink right now, But you can dip your feet Every once in a little while."

"Are we human? Or are we dancer? My sign is vital, My hands are cold, And I'm on my knees Looking for the answer. Are we human? Or are we dancer?"

"I pack my case. I check my face. I look a little bit older. I look a little bit colder. With one deep breath, and one big step, I move a little bit closer. I move a little bit closer, For reasons unknown."

"Save some face, you know you've only got one. Change your ways while you're young. Boy, one day you'll be a man, Oh, girl, he'll help you understand.Smile like you mean it. Smile like you mean it."

"Breaking my back just to know your name, Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game. I'm breaking my back just to know your name. But heaven ain't close in a place like this, Anything goes but don't blink, you might miss. 'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this, I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this. Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight (Ooh-ooh), Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight.Well, somebody told me you had a boyfriend Who looked like a girlfriend That I had in February of last year. It's not confidential, I've got potential."

"Jealousy, turning saints into the sea, Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibi. But it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me. Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside."

"I got soul but I'm not a soldier Time, truth, and hearts."

"We took a walk tonight, but it wasn't the same. We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain. She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go. She couldn't scream while i held her close, I swore i'd never, let her go."

"The storm maker says, "It ain't so bad." The dream maker's gonna make you mad. The spaceman says, "Everybody look down, It's all in your mind.""

"Coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all. It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this? It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss."

"Why do you waste my time? Is the answer to the question on your mind. And I'm sick of all my judges; So scared of what they'll find. But I know that I can make it As long as somebody takes me home Every now and then."

"Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind, A blue-eyed girl playing in the sand. I'd been on her trail for a little while, But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand. A teenage rush. She said, "Ain't we all just runaways? We got time."But that ain't much. We can't wait till tomorrow. You got to know that this is real, baby, why you want to fight it? It's the one thing you can choose, oh!"

"I want to hold the hand inside I want to take the breath that's true I look to you and I see nothing I look to you to see the truth you live your in shadows fade into you into your darkness"

"“Fade Into You,” the dreamiest single of the ’90s, broke Mazzy Star through to the charts with its aching beauty. But anybody expecting their full-length to sustain that sense of fragile romance must have been shocked by the disquieting dread that hangs thick over So That Tonight I Might See, a dream-pop album with a gothic core."

"We'll get high, and hide We are lovers to the glamorous white girl so fine."

"I'm 21 now, and still can't deal with what's real But I'll be damned if I give up and settles for pills."

"Is it too late to remind you how we were But not our last days of silent, screaming, blur Most of what I remember makes me sure I should have stopped you from walking out the door"

"Please keep your hands down And stop raising your voice It's hardly what I'd be doing if you gave me a choice It's a simple suggestion an you give me some time So just say yes or no Why can't you shoulder the blame? 'Cause both my shoulders are heavy From the weight of us both You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth You've not heard a single word I have said Oh my god"

"This could be the very minute I'm aware I'm alive All these places feel like home"

"Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear"

"Oh what a crazy time I've been a fool On a wild ride to oblivion I lost my mind"

"Come on, baby, be my bad boyfriend"

"Love's an elusive charm and it can be painful"

"You can keep it pure on the inside"

"You've got soul inside your shattered heart"

"When I grow up I'll be stable When I grow up I'll turn the tables"

"I rip it up to shreds and let it go"

"I will cry for you I will cry for you I will wash away your pain with all my tears And drown your fear"

"I want to break your heart and give you mine"

"Crashing silent broken down Falling into night"

"And I am cool Cool as the deep blue ocean"

"You pretend you're high You pretend you're bored You pretend you're anything Just to be adored"

"Don't believe in fear Don't believe in faith Don't believe in anything That you can't break"

"I came around to tear your little world apart"

"A million lies to sell yourself Is all you ever had"

"I'm riding high upon a deep depression I'm only happy when it rains"

"I wish I could fly As angels can fly"

"Don't believe in love Don't believe in hate Don't believe in anything That you can't waste"

"You say that you'll be there to catch me Or will you only try to trap me These are the rules I make Our chains were meant to break You'll never change me"

"You know I love it when the news is bad And why it feels so good to feel so sad I'm only happy when it rains"
