Attention! 04:32
(Guess that's what you get!) Never say we didn't warn you When you pay to play She's got a nasty reputation You better look out for her Johnny is a bad bad man Roughs 'em up all over town He's got a nasty reputation You better look out for him But what could we have done? Oh look what we have done! And we pretend we never heard (we close our eyes, we close our eyes) And we never said a word (we tell our lies, we tell our lies) But what if it's too late? Has she got your attention? He said "my pleasure is your pain" "And you could never say no" 'Cause she's got a nasty reputation You better look out for her Johnny's coming night by night Violence in a neon light But what could we have done? Oh look what we have done! And we pretend we never heard (we close our eyes, we close our eyes) And we never said a word (we tell our lies, we tell our lies) And we pretend we never heard (we close our eyes, we close our eyes) And we never said a word (we tell our lies, we tell our lies) And what if it's too late? Has she got your attention now? Someone better lock the doors Someone better clean this mess Better send the good boys home Better get a new address He ain't coming back no more, said he ain't coming back no more Never say we didn't warn you You better look out for her, you better look out for...

The Cost 05:25
I still had years and years and years to go I don't really want to chase you down Is there still time, still time, still time to spare? I always want to get the last word in Ooooh is it lost to me? Ooooh is it lost to you? And I would wish you well but I I wouldn't try Yes I would wish you well but I I wouldn't try Gather the children, cover their ears and eyes They don't have to watch the curtain fall (oh it's bittersweet, oh it's bittersweet) I guess one day they're gonna know, gonna know, gonna know Gonna recognize a dangling thread Guess I'm meant to play the fool again (I can hardly speak, I can hardly breathe) Ooooh at what cost to me? (at what cost to me) Ooooh at what cost to you? Yes I would wish you well but I I wouldn't try Yes I would wish you well But I, I wouldn't try 'Cause you don't even know you keep me down Oh no no Then just leave Guess I'm glad it's lost to me

Sky Blue 03:34
Ooooh don't come around Ooooh don't bring you down Got you whenever they want you, up on the shelf But somehow it's them looking down on you Wasting your time, got you resigned Picking up what's left behind Another quarter life tragedy (nevermind, nevermind) far You'll just be kicking it back in the shadows Tied up in knots, cut down in pieces Thinking what have you got, to make them never leave you Ooooh don't come around (don't come around) Ooooh don't bring you down (don't bring you down) Don't bring you down, don't bring you down Don't bring you down, down Counting dollars, counting fears Counting miles, counting years So far to go, but does it count for much? The sky's so blue today Simple pleasures, lover's touch Does it make you smile? Never chase the credit, it may never come Wanna matter to millions, only have to matter to some (matter to one) I told you gardens only grow for such a short time But that's alright So just keep kicking it out in the sun All the money and power and greed and lies and worries, bad vibes won't last So don't come around, ooooh don't bring you down Hit it All you need is all you need All you need is all you need Don't you think it's time (all you need is all you need) Live for your moment (all you need is all you need) Don't you think it's time (all you need is all you need) Let it all slide (all you need is all you need)

Head & Heart 03:41
Oh you know it sends me wasting away Maybe if I write it down it will stay with me for a rainy day Falling out of control, or falling free Oh no, what if this is all I can be Oh don't get me wrong, yeah Once in a while, I love a little temptation But coming along, yeah Coming in style, I feel an act of creation Gotta get out of my head 'cause my heart's on the run, run, run Gotta learn to let it go, yeah and have me some fun, fun, fun Well it's not what I expected, but maybe 'cause it's only begun Oh you know it sends me wasting away Maybe if I sing it out it will stay with me for a rainy day Falling out of control, gaining speed Oh no (oh no), what if this is all I can be Oh don't get me wrong, yeah I think I need a little course correction But I'm coming along, yeah I'm finally freed and letting go of perfection Gotta get out of my head 'cause my heart's on the run, run, run Gotta learn to let it go, yeah and have me some fun, fun, fun Well it's not what I expected, but maybe 'cause it's only begun Gotta make it grow, gotta make it grow, yeah Oh are you coming along? Gotta get out of my head 'cause my heart's on the run, run, run Gotta learn to let it go, yeah and have me some fun, fun, fun (heart's on the run) It's not what I expected no (have me some fun), but maybe 'cause it's only begun (heart's on the run) Gotta make it grow (have me some fun), gotta make it grow, gotta make it...
