OBTN Lyrics- Typed and Correct

[anners]

I typed these up from the lyrics booklet, if you find any mistakes, let me know and I’ll fix but I think their pretty correct
The things in brackets () weren’t written in the lyrics, but Caleb says them
, and the things in these brackets [] were in the booklet, but their backup vocals

CLOSER

Stranded in this spooky town
Stop lights are swaying at the phone lines are down
The Floor is crackling cold
She took my heart (I think) she took my soul
With the moon I run far from the carnage of the firey sun

Driven by the strangle of veins showing me no mercy I’d do it again
Open up your eyes you keep on crying baby I’ll bleed you dry
The skies they blink at me I see a storm bubbling up from the sea
And its coming closer

Your shimi shook my bones leaving me stranded all in love on my own
Do you think of me, where am I now baby where do I sleep
It feels so good but I am old 200 (2000) years of chasing taking its toll
And its coming closer And its coming closer And its coming closer

CRAWL

Your fault, my pride, don’t ever need to apologise
As your lips, unfold, shaking purple from the cold
You better learn to crawl; you better learn to crawl, before I walk away
You broke, my mouth, the bloody bits are spitting out
Is your grave, unscathed, the worm is counting down your day
He wants to see you crawl he wants to see you crawl before I walk away before I walk away the reds and the whites and abused
The crucified USA
As every prophecy unfolds
Hell is surely on its way

The rat and the fly are searching for an alibi
As we wait, the wrath, they never went to Sunday mass
They want to see us crawl, they want to see us crawl, before they walk away
before they walk away the reads and the whites and abused
the crucified USA
as every prophecy unfolds, hell is surely on its way

SEX ON FIRE

Lay where you’re laying, don’t make a sound, I know they're watching
(they're watching)
All the commotion, the kiddie like play, has people talking
You, your sex is on fire,
Dark of the alley, the breaking of day, head while im driving
Soft lips are open, knuckles are pale, feels like your dying
You, your sex is on fire,
Consumed, with what’s to transpire
Hot as a fever, rattling bones, I can just taste it
If its not forever, if its just tonight, oh its still the greatest,
You, your sex is on fire

USE SOMEBODY

I’ve been roaming around always looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can’t reach
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you and all you know and how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street
You know that I could use somebody; you know that I could use somebody, someone like you
Off in the night, while you live it up, I’m off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
I hope its gonna make you notice
I hope its gonna make you notice
Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me
Go and let it out someone like you
Someone like you [somebody]
Someone like you [somebody]
Someone like you [somebody]
I’ve been roaming around always looking down at all I see

MANHATTAN

I like to dance all night, summons the day, but that’s how I play, yeah that’s how I play, I said who are you, don’t matter who you are
Just saw you dance all night, and dance all day I say.
We’re gonna build a fire, gonna stoke it up, we’re gonna sip this wine, and pass the cup
Who needs avenues, who needs reservoirs, we’re gonna show this town, how to kiss these stars, I say
We’re gonna hunt to kill, we’re gonna skin the hide, a yelp and a scream, and away I ride
And every drop that spills on every plot of ground
It’s all for you, for what you found, I say.
Its gonna take your head, and gonna drive you home, its gonna keep on keep on keep on, and then forever roam

REVELRY

What a night for a dance you know im a dancing machine
With a fire I my bones and the sweet taste of kerosene
I get lost in the light so high I don’t want to come down
To face the loss of the good thing that I had found
In the dark of the night I can hear you calling my name
With the harvest of hearts I still feel full of pain
So I drink and I smoke and I ask if you’re ever around
Even though it was me that drove us right in the ground
See the time we shared it was precious to me but all the while I was dreaming of revelry
Born to run baby run like a stream down a mountainside
With the wind at my back I don’t ever even bat an eye
Just know it was you all along who had a hold of my heart
But the demon and me were the best of friends from the start
So the time we shared it was precious to me all the while I was dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry
And I told myself boy away you go
It rained so hard it felt like snow
Everything came tumbling down on me
In the back of the woods in the dark of the night
The paleness of the old moonlight
Everything just felt so incomplete
Dreaming of revelry

17

Oh shes only 17
Wine and whine and wound up over everything
Bloody mary breakfast busting up the scene
Brothers frightened when’s a baby gonna sleep
Hidden ship two sails away
It’s a culmination of a story and a goodbye session
It’s the tick of our time and the tick in her head that makes me feel so strange
I could call you baby, I could call you dammit, it’s a one in a million,
Oh it’s the rolling of her Spanish tongue that makes me want to stay

NOTION

I’ve got a notion so say what doesn’t feel right
I got an answer in your story today
It gave me a sign that didn’t feel right (now)
Say don’t knock it don’t knock it you’ve been here before
So don’t knock it don’t knock it you’ve been here before
I just wanted to know if I could go home
I’ve been rambling day after day
Everyone says I don’t know
So don’t knock it don’t knock it you’ve been here before
So don’t knock it don’t knock it you’ve been here before
I’ve got a notion so say what doesn’t feel right
I just wanted to know if I could go home
Say don’t knock it don’t knock it you’ve been here before
So don’t knock it don’t knock it you’ve been here before
So don’t knock it don’t knock it you’ve been here before

I WANT YOU

Get back on track, pick me up’s and bottles of booze
The fickle freshman, probably things he’s cooler than you
A hay ride, a fire, everybody’s coming around
So go press your shirt, ‘cause word is there’s a new girl in town

I call shotgun, you can play your R&B tunes
The fellowship time, always comes a little too soon
Land of the creeps, freshened up and baby faced shaved
But your eyes on me, and I know a place where we can get away

Just say I want you, just exactly like I used to, and baby this is only bringing me down

Homeboy’s so proud, he’s finally got the video proof
The night vision showed, she was only ducking the truth
It’s heavy I know, a black cat with the gift down below
A choke and a gag, she spit up and came back for more

And said I want you (just exactly like I used to, and baby this is only bringing me down
She said I want you.
I want you just exactly like I used to, and baby this is only bringing me down. I said I want you just exactly like I used to, and baby this is only bringing me down)

BE SOMEBODY

Taking to the floor with a reach to the sky,
I loosen my tie, I loosen my tie
Locking down the door with the rhythm and rhyme
I loosen my tie, I loosen my tie

Trying to recall what you want me to say
I shake it your way, I shake it your way
Counting on the night for a beautiful day
I shake it your way, I shake it your way

And I say you can’t get enough, now you can’t get enough
Given the chance, im gonna be somebody,
If for one dance, im gonna be somebody

Open the door its gonna make you love me
Im facing the floor
I’m gonna be somebody
Now its your time and you know where you stand
With a gun in your hand, with a gun in your hand
Now no longer an ordinary man, was this your big plan,
Your gun in your hand,

And I say you can’t get enough, now you can’t get enough
Given the chance, im gonna be somebody,
Just for one dance, im gonna be somebody

Open the door its gonna make you love me
Im facing the floor
I’m gonna be somebody
Be somebody

COLD DESERT

I’m on the corner, waiting for a light to come on,
That’s when I know your alone
It’s cold in the desert, water never sees the ground
Special unspoken without sound,

You told me you loved me, that I’d never die alone
Hand over your heart lets go home
Everyone noticed, everyone has seen the signs
I’ve always been known to cross lines

I never ever cried when I was feeling down
I’ve always been scared of the sound
Jesus don’t love me, no-one ever carried my load
I’m too young to feel this old

Here’s to you, here’s to me,
Onto us nobody knows,
Nobody sees, nobody but me

[anners]

i also tried to do Frontier City and Beneath the Surface, this is only from my listening skills, probs not correct


FRONTIER CITY

Find yourself a new frontier
‘cause life is going going gone
Fly yourself away from here, into the clear
Before its going going gone.

Say it loud and in the light
Before its going going gone.
Shake the hands the hands that pick pick a fight
‘cause life is going going gone

I guess I’ll find you
And cut you down
Protect the neighbours
The sleepy town
If you wake up
Before the go
With your faces
We come we go, we live until we live no more

Trying with a dead black eye
Before its coming coming gone.
The cradles and the rocking chairs that make a lie
Before its coming coming gone.

I guess I’ll find you
And cut you down
Protect the neighbours
The sleepy town
If you wake up
Before you go
With your faces
We come we go, we come and go
We come we go, we come and go

BENEATH THE SURFACE

To grant me, my purpose, bury me beneath the surface
I’m scratching
I’m clawing
Trying hard to make her pay

Can’t stand me
Beside me
Given options give you’ll kill me
The cold of, my burrow
Never sees the light of day

Call me, call me, you could only hurt the story
Call me, call me,I’ll be there to shine a light

The swell of, the speakers
Sweaty ballroom, dancing fever
They gather
In numbers
Elbow for a closer view
The cease fire, the weaker, here’s the red I couldn’t keep her
The dog, the neighbours, everything was blown away

Call me, call me, you could only hurt the story
Call me, call me,I’ll be there to shine a light
Machine, machine, point me to the nervous party
You’ll see, you’ll see, baby it’s the only way

Call me, call me, you could only
Call me, call me, I’ll be there
Machine, machine point me to the nervous party

[sarah///]

Annie you legend, serious karma coming your way

I'm glad you typed up Frontier City because instead of "with your faces" I've been singing "rip your face off" haha!

[sparkler]

In Sex on Fire it should be "I know they're watching"
(It's only a small point I know, well done anyway).

[ncox10021]

hahaha I am laughing at myself, I thought this whole time is was "You......... This sex is on fire" Instead of your sex is on fire....

[ncox10021]

oh I'm right! I just watched home movie number one and he clearly says "this sex is on fire" - but in the lyrics booklet it does say "your sex is on fire" - strange

[kasi18]

I never trust lyric booklets

[sofarfromhome]
