Now come one come all to this tragic affairWipe off that makeupwhats in is despairSo throw on the black dress | Mix in with the lotY o u m i g h t w a k e u p a n d n o t i c e

youre someone youre not

If you look in the mirror and dont like whatyou see | You can find out firsthand what itslike to be me | So gather round piggies andkiss this goodbye | Id encourage your smiles

Ill expect you wont cry

Another contusion, my funeral jag | Heres myresignation, Ill serve it in drag | Youve gotfront row seats to the penitence ball | When Igrow up I want to be nothing at all! | I said

Cmon Cmon Cmon I said | Save Me! | Getme the hell out of here | Save Me! | Tooyoung to die and my dear | You Cant! | If youcan hear me just walk away and | Take Me!

AHHHHHH! AHHHHHH! AHHHHHH! AHHHHHH!

The ending of your life | And if you get toheaven | Ill be here waiting, babe | Did youget what you deserve? | The end | And if yourlife wont wait | Then your heart cant take this

Have | You heard the news that youre dead?No one ever had much nice to say | I thinkthey never liked you anyway | Oh take | Mefrom the hospital bed | Wouldnt it begrand? | It aint exactly what you planned

AND WOULDNT IT BE GREATIF WE WERE DEAD?

Tongue-tied and oh so squeamish | Younever fell in love | Did you get what youdeserve? | The ending of your life | And ifwe get to heaven | Ill be here waiting babeDid you get what you deserve? | The end

And if your life wont waitThen your heart cant take this

Have | You heard the news that youre dead?No one ever had much nice to say | I thinkthey never liked you anyway | Oh take | Mefrom the hospital bed | Wouldnt it be grand

To take a pistol by the hand?

AND WOULDNT IT BE GREATIF WE WERE DEAD?

And in my honest observation | During thisoperation | Found a complication in yourheart | So long | Cause now youve got

Maybe just two weeks to liveIs that the most the both of you can give?

LA LA LA LA LA! | LA LA LA LA LA!LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!

AND IF YOUR HEART STOPS BEATING

ILL BE HERE WONDERINGDID YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE?

Oh, motherfucker ifLIFE aint just a jokeThen why are we laughing?

Then why am I dead?DEAD.

THE SHARPEST

LIVES

\. 04

If I crash on the couch can I sleep in myclothes? | Cause Ive spent the night dancingIm drunk, I suppose | If it looks like Imlaughing Im really just asking to leave

This alone, youre in time for the show |Youre the one that I need | Im the one thatyou loathe | You can watch me corrode likea beast in repose | Cause I love all the poison

Away with the boys in the band

Ive really been | On a bender and it shows

So why dont you blow me a kiss before she goes?Give me a shot to remember

WELL IT RAINS AND IT POURS

WHEN YOURE OUT ON YOUR OWN

When I was a young boyMy father took me into the city

to see a marching bandHe said son when you grow up | Would you beThe savior of the broken | The beaten andthe damned?He said will you | Defeat them | Yourdemons | And all the non-believers | Theplans that they have made?

Because one day | Ill leave you

A PHANTOMTo lead you in the summerTo join the black parade

When I wasa young boy | My father | Tookme into the city | To see a marching band |He said son when you grow up | Would yoube | The savior of the broken | The beatenand the damned?Sometimes I get the feeling | Shes watchingover me | And other times I feel like I should go

And through it all | The rise and fall | Thebodies in the streets | And when youre gonewe want you all to know-Well carry on | Well carry on | And thoughyoure dead and gone believe me | Yourmemory will carry on | Well carry on

And in my heart I cant contain itThe anthem wont explain it

\. 05

And you can take all the pain away from meA kiss and I will surrender

The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead

A light to burn all the empires | So bright thesun is ashamed to rise and be | In love withall of these vampires | So you can leave likethe sane abandoned me

Theres a place in the dark where theanimals go | You can take offyour skin in thecannibal glow | Juliet loves the beat and thelust it commands | Drop the dagger andlather the blood on your hands | Romeo

Ive really been | On a bender and it showsSo why dont you blow me a kiss before she goes?

Give me a shot to remember | And you cantake all the pain away from me | A kiss and Iwill surrender | The sharpest lives are thedeadliest to lead | A light to burn all theempires | So bright the sun is ashamed to riseand be | In love with all of these vampiresSo you can leave like the sane abandoned me

A world that sends you reeling | Fromdecimated dreams | Your misery and hatewill kill us allSo paint it black | And take it back | Letsshout it loud and clear | Defiant to the endwe hear the call

To carry on | Well carry on | And thoughyoure dead and gone believe me | Yourmemory will carry on | Well carry on | Andthough youre broken and defeated | Yourweary widow marchesOn and on we carry through the fearsDisappointed faces of your peers | Take a

look at me | Cause I could not care at | A llDo or die | Youll never make me | Becausethe world | Will never take my heart | Goand try | Youll never break me | We want it

all | We want to play this part

I wont explain | Or say Im sorry | Imunashamed | Im gonna show my scar | Givea cheer | For all the broken | Listen here |

Because its who we are

Im just a man | Im not a hero | Just a boyWho had to sing this song | Im just a man

Im not a hero | I | Dont | Care!

Well carry on | Well carry on | And thoughyoure dead and gone believe me | Yourmemory will carry on | Well carry on | Andthough youre broken and defeated | Your

weary widow marches on

WELL CARRY ON.

Because they sleep with a gun | And keepan eye on you, son | So they can watch all

the things you do

Because the drugs never work | Theyregonna give you a smirk | Cause they gotmethods to keep you clean | Theyre gonnarip up your heads | Your aspirations toshreds | Another cog in the murder machine

Chorus: | They said all | Teenage rs scareThe living shit out of me | They could careless | As long as someonell bleed | Sodarken your clothes | Or strike a violent poseMaybe theyll leave you alone | But not me

The boys and girls in the clique | The awfulnames that they stick | Yer never gonna fit inmuch, kid | But if youre troubled and hurtWhat you got under your shirt | Will make

them pay for the things that they did

Chorus

SLEEPWell I was there on the day they

sold the cause for the queenAnd when the lights all went outWe watched our lives on the screeni hate the ending myself but itstarted with an alright scene

It was the roar of the crowd that gave meheartache to sing | It was a lie when they smiledand said you wont feel a thing | And as we ranfrom the cops | We laughed so hard it would sting

If Im so wrong | How can you listen all nightlong | Now will it matter after Im gone |Because you never learn a goddamned thing

Youre just a sad song | With nothing to sayAbout a lifelong wait for a hospital stay | Andif you think that Im wrong | This never

meant nothing to ya

I spent my high school career | Spit on andshoved to agree | So I could watch all myheroes | Sell a car on TV | Bring out the oldguillotine | Well show them what we all mean

If Im so wrong | How can you listen all nightlong | Now will it matter after Im gone |Because you never learn a goddamned thing

Youre just a sad song | With nothing to sayAbout a lifelong wait for a hospital stay | Andif you think that Im wrong | This never

meant nothing to ya

So go | Go away | Just runRun away | But where did you run to?

Where did you hide?Go find another way | Price you pay

Youre just a sad song | With nothing to sayAbout a lifelong wait for a hospital stay | Andif you think that Im wrong | This nevermeant nothing to ya | Cmon | Youre just asad song | With nothing to say | About alifelong wait for a hospital stay | And if youthink that Im wrong | This never meant

nothing to ya | At all

DISENCHANTED\. 12

Now I know | That I cant make you stayBut wheres your heart | But wheres your heart

BUT WHERES YOUR

And I know | Theres nothing I can sayTo change that part | To change that part

to change

So many | Bright lights they cast ashadow | But can I speak | Is it hardunderstanding Im incomplete | A life

thats so demanding | I get so weak | Alove thats so demanding | I cant speak

I am not afraid to keep on living | I am notafraid to walk this world alone | Honey ifyou stay Ill be forgiven | Nothing you can

Can you see? | My eyes are shining brightCause Im out here on the other side | Of a jetblack hotel mirror | And Im so weak | Is ithard understanding | Im incomplete | A love

thats so demanding | I get weak
