Tell you, I'll tell you what
I'll tell you what I'll do
I tell you what I'll do I'll let you go g-go....
(that should pretty much set you going for the whole song!)

Just Like The Rest

Travis ride the train in here from work, got a tale to tell
He's goin' crazy for attention
Grand schemes & plans come by the million, got a tale to tell
Don't seem to shape up to anything
Travis talk too much & he makin' a mess of it
Travis talk too much 'cause he just like the rest of us
Kelly wants the boy who's out of reach, little psycho as well
He buys the gifts he's supposed to give
He's killin' time waiting for someone else to come home
She knows but it won't stop her, she knows but it won't stop her
Kelly drinks too much & she makin' a mess of it
Kelly drinks too much 'cause she just like the rest
Go home alone
Wake up alone
That's why we come here
Why do we come here?
Girls flock to James ten to the dozen, everyone for themselves
Hair just got out of bed again
He's showing all the right attention, everyone for themselves
They'll never get under his skin
They'll never get under him
Jimmy fucks too much & he makin' a mess of it
Jimmy fucks too much 'cause he's not like the rest
Go home alone
Wake up alone
That's why we come here
Why do we come here?

No doubt about it now
Must have been insane not to attend to us
Every time I run around
And always with your eyes on anyone but me
Sobering to think too much
You can have that mean whatever you want
But you strike me with that glazing look
Deflect any smile that I can shape
Whoa, it’s not a shame to be one of your skeletons
Whoa, just so long as you shove me down the back somewhere
If I’m gathering dust so be it
Well I guess I took the wrong impression
Basing every reaction on who I thought you didn’t want
Every time I see you girl
We’re walking home in opposite directions
But tell me do you need to be so cold
Tell me do you need to be so cold
Whoa, it’s not a shame to be one of your skeletons
Whoa, just so long as it’s eating you alive somewhere
If I’m gathering dust so be it
Whoa, it’s not a shame to be one of your skeletons
Whoa, just so long as it’s eating you alive somewhere
If I’m gathering dust so be it
If I’m gathering dust so be it
If I’m gathering dust so be it

Orbital Pull

Gonna swipe the apple before it cuts itself loose of the tree
Nothin gonna keep my hands from you girl
No short sharp tongue or casual distraction
Soul damned sold & some get lost
Every single riddle made tie me up, tie me up in knots
Turn over on your chin & show me once
Get good get good off on you come on
Bad as it looks
Gather what's left of a good intention
Take me home
I can't repair it all
Until I get somehow back to the drawing board
Something always stops in the way
So I'm to cut them all to pieces to make it back, back from here
You're like a blood rate shiver, kick like hammer, orbital pull
When everything's said we're back to here again
Show me once
Get good get good off on you come on
Bad as it looks
Gather what's left of a good intention
Take me home
I can't repair it all
And there's no way I can stop it from here
I can't repair it all
And there's no way I can stop it from here
Listen now, listen now never gonna come back from here
Bad as it looks
Get good get good off on you come on
Take me home

You're heavy with the breathing when the dial tone stops
Cold finger trace across my skin
Then again yeah I am overwhelmed & lost
Gonna die if you can't lay those eyes on me again
You're freakin' me out
You're freakin' me out
Don't go on making plans for us no I'm not your saviour
You think I'll make you
Void somewhere down that I cannot fill
Exorcise your demons without my help
Nobody else here can be responsible for you
Everything that you will seek here is a fantasy
You're freakin' me out
You're freakin' me out
Don't go on making plans for us no I'm not your saviour
You think I'll make you...but we'll both just fuck it up
