Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Sometimes when I lie awake I can feel the world take shape
into these things that I did not wish for
But that's alright cause I can change and make all these things rearrange into
something better for you..ah yeah
Chorus 1:
And its a dog day afternooohooooohoon
Leave it all behind we ain't got nothing left to lose
And it's a dog day afternoon
I think I'll stay in bed just staring at you, cause your beautiful, oh so beautiful to me
Verse 2:
And then sometimes you'd dream awake just sittin there watching my world take shape
into nothing but this foolish dreaming
But thats alright cause I'm ok ain't goin anywhere anyway and
anyway all I want is you
Chorus 2:
And its a dog day afternooohooooohooon
Not a care in the world just sittin hear watching your flowers bloom
And it's a dog day afternoon
I think Ill stay in bed cause your beautiful, oh so beautiful too me….oh so beautiful
Verse 3/Pre-Bridge
And then sometimes we'd dream awake just sittin here watching her world take shape
and just like everyone else she gives and she taaaaakes
Bridge:
And we build these things up just to watch them all break
We trip and fall twice and still call them mistakes
We curse at the world when everything's great
Never thankful for the breath that we taaaaaaake
Chorus 3:
And its a dog day afternoohooooohoon
Leave it all behind we ain't got nothing left to lose
And it's a dog day afternoon
I think I'll stay in bed just staring at you, cause your beautiful, oh so beautiful to me…oh so beautiful
Sometimes when I lie awake
I can watch the world take shape

Verse 1:
I’m running for my life will You’ll ever catch me
I stay away from complications, I’ll take the loneliness instead
we share the same sadness
but the difference between you and Me
You’re so stationary well Ya know...I got to be free
So wait on those diamonds with your working class smile
As I feel the drama continue to pile
Every town has its own sound they all sound the same to you
So take back your social club dues
Verse 2:
Everything’s fair south of this dirty old town
Cause highway don’t care, give or take, or even consider your frown
The sounds of darkness I can hear from motel room
And the cool night air thrills my mind with de Je vu
Body’s too old to continue but minds to young to stop
So in the morning I’ll take what’s mine move on out again
Ain’t got no worries ....to hang on to
Cause I’ve Made no enemies made no friends

Pretty

Verse 1:
She's a pretty girl, its all that she is
she doesn’t even know her own name
stolen by the voice in her head
pretty like rain
like flowers from hell
she walks through this life
hiding between lines of the moonlight and shade
chorus:
she doesnt smile anymore
she doesnt cry anymore
and her heart screams
why oh why this insufferable sorrow
verse 2:
pretty like lace, you cannot replace
she views the world through broken glass
and glances are all that she’ll take
she mostly knows fear
it lives in her soul
once in awhile you’ll see her smile
a slight of heart to make her feel whole
Bridge:
Hit the wall or run forever but your know you’ll never sleep
You’re already dreaming anyway so what’s the use in trying its not meant to be
Verse 3:
pretty messed up, its such a waste
If she only had a fleeting moment
a glimpse of some fate
she would never put it off
never hesitate
never ever leave such a pretty thing to waste
chorus 2:
she doesnt smile anymore
she doesnt try anymore
and her heart cries
please don’t bring me another tomorrow
