Success has its price
And can you hear me now
That I'm dumbing myself down?
Is it filling you with doubt
That I am who you thought?

I know it's just a game
But I'm playing it to win
I won't forget from where I came
But it's time to take over
Oh yeah

And can you hear me now
Someone save me from the sound
Of my own voice
Can't you tell
That I sound like I'm dying?
Oh yeah

I'm tired of waiting
Yeah, I'm tired of waiting
I'm tired of being
The poor, cliche, misunderstood

Tired of waiting
Yeah, I'm tired of waiting
It's time to get faded
Because I can't think anymore


. . .



Let it go
There's no way you can save it now
Get back, you know that this city is burning
So the story goes
It makes you wonder
'Cause if we're trapped and we're never
Gonna find a way out,
Get out
We're gonna dance now

Hey Mr. DJ
You gotta put a record on, yeah
We're gonna bury this town tonight
We're gonna dance tonight

Hey Mr. DJ
You gotta put a record on, yeah
We're gonna dance tonight
Dance tonight

I let you go
And I'm still waiting for you to find
There's nothing more
That this time that is right now
So the story goes
It makes you wonder
'Cause time is up
And you're never gonna get another
Chance now
You've gotta dance now

Hey Mr. DJ
You gotta put a record on, yeah
We're gonna bury this town tonight
We're gonna dance tonight

Hey Mr. DJ
You gotta put a record on, yeah
We're gonna dance tonight
Dance tonight

Let it go,
The game is done
The camera's off
It can't be hard

Let it go,
The game is done
Camera's off
It can't be too hard
To fake it now
Gotta fake it now

Let it go,
There's no way you can change me now.
Get back, you know
I don't need you to save me
So the story goes

Hey Mr. DJ
You gotta put a record on, yeah
We're gonna bury this town tonight
We're gonna dance tonight

Hey Mr. DJ
You gotta put a record on, yeah
We're gonna dance tonight
Dance tonight

Just let me ask you:
Hey, have you heard of my religion?
It's called the Church of Hot Addiction
And we believe that God has lust for everything

Because now,
The time has come for your devotion
And you already got a notion
Of what I need
So give it, just give it,
Just give it to me

You're willing,
I'm waiting.
Turn out the lights

Tonight I am the drug you can't deny
Tonight G-A-B-E gonna get you high
My light is electric
My light is electric, yeah

Just let me tell you
Hey, you gotta get the Cobra bless now
You're really only selling sex now
But I can pay
The price you charge for what I need

Because I,
I've got a nasty new compulsion
And you've already got a notion
Of what I need
So give it, just give it,
Just give it to me

You're willing,
I'm waiting.
Turn out the lights

Tonight I am the drug you can't deny
Tonight G-A-B-E gonna get you high

How could you know?
Why would you care?
I'm losing control
Are you getting scared?

I'm making new friends
And we're making out
We're gonna pretend
That we're taking everything yeah

They don't know about us
Everyone's asleep when we play
Yeah, the kids are all fucked up

Now it's too late to go
It's getting light out
I know you don't wanna
Sleep here alone
Just take it easy

So leave us alone
When we're riding high
Mister police
Ain't hurting no one

The city's asleep
And the world is mine
We hide and go seek
And you know they'll never, never, ever find us

They don't know about us
Everyone's asleep when we play
Yeah the kids are all fucked up

Now it's too late to go
It's getting light out
I know you don't wanna
Sleep here alone
Just take it easy

Now it's too late to go
It's getting light out
I know you don't wanna
Sleep here alone

The world is fading
I'm here with you
If you start shaking
I'll get you through it
Don't worry about anything
Just take it easy

It's too late to go
It's getting light out
I know you don't wanna
Sleep here alone
Just take it easy

Now it's too late to go
It's getting light out
I know you don't wanna
Sleep here alone
Just take it easy


. . .



You can't escape now
I've got you locked inside this room
You know I tip good
And soon, you will love me too

Don't be upset now
You know that I get angry too
Don't make me hurt you
It's true
No one hears you in this room

This is what you get
When you're talking back baby
I never bounce a check
So give it up, baby
Open up your eyes
I want to watch you cry
Come on, come on
The camera's on [x2]

Now I'm a changed man
But as a boy I was so true
The world can't protect you
It's true
Not like money will

You want some bread now?
Just promise me
You'll never make me believe you
It's true
No one hears you in this room

This is what you get
When you're talking back baby
I never bounce a check
So give it up, baby
Open up your eyes
I want to watch you cry
Come on, come on
The camera's on


. . .



I've seen the future
So I already know
Baby you've been let down
You can't take anymore

You hear that I'm untrue
But you've been around too
I don't hide it from you

I know that you're needy
Baby, take it easy
And we can make all our dreams come true
If you...

I'm down if you don't expect any more from me
I ain't got much for you
It's all right
If you wanna get down
Keep it simple, now [x2]

Time keeps slipping us by
When we're alone
Music makes me get high
We're getting down on the floor

Let this groove just take you
Make your booty shake too
Just show me what you can do
I know that you're needy
Baby, take it easy
We can make all our dreams come true
If you...

I'm down if you don't expect any more from me
I ain't got much for you
It's all right
If you wanna get down
Keep it simple, now [x2]

How do you feel?
Do you feel all right? [x4]

I'm down if you don't expect any more from me
I ain't got much for you
It's all right
If you wanna get down
Keep it simple, now [x2]

Here's a new idea
I've got news for you
There's no free rides tonight
If you're strapped for cash
I've got a job for you
My boots need shining, son

Sit down, shut up
Oh where do we begin?
The streets are full of anything you want
The city lies inviting you right in
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid

You can put your hands up
I love girls with Brooklyn haircuts
I'll be you're fanclub
Step, step
You're too slow
Speed it up

Here's your new position
There's no need for you
To wait in line tonight
Misshapes
What's up? Where's your dancing shoes?
The kiddies get it on

Sit down, shut up
Oh where do we begin?
The streets are full of anything you want
The city lies inviting you right in
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid

You can put your hands up
I love girls with Brooklyn haircuts
I'll be you're fanclub
Step, step
You're too slow
Speed it up

All you wanted, I got
Never give it up
Finish what you started
Step, step
You're too slow
Speed it up

You can put your hands up
I love girls with Brooklyn haircuts
I'll be you're fanclub
Step, step
You're too slow
Speed it up

Times are strange
We've got a free upgrade
For snakes on a plane
Fuck 'em, I don't care
Pop the cheap champagne
We're going down in flames, hey

Oh! I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it![x4]

So kiss me goodbye
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye
I can see the venom in your eyes
Goodbye

It's time to fly
Tonight the sky's alive
With lizards serpentine
Lounging in their suits and ties
Watch the whore's parade
For the price of fame, hey

Oh! I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it![x4]

So kiss me goodbye
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye
I can see the venom in your eyes

So kiss me goodbye
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye
I can see the venom in your eyes
Goodbye

Ladies and gentlemen,
These snakes is slitherin'
With dollar signs in they eyes
With tongues so reptilians
This industry's venomous
With cold-blooded sentiments
No need for nervousness
It's just a little turbulence

So kiss me goodbye
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye
I can see the venom in your eyes

So kiss me goodbye
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye
I can see the venom in your eyes
Goodbye

Oh! I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it![x4]

We seem to be losing altitude at an alarming pace
From midtown to downtown
Snakes on a blog
I suggest you grab your ankles and kiss your ass goodbye


. . .



Senorita, I can't forget your eyes
Your hair, your Spanish ass
I don't care what you tell the other guys
Hear me out
I'll do what you say

Just
Say what you want, say what you mean
Girl all I need is for you
To be the one that I believe
Can I believe you?
Say what you want, say what you mean
Girl all I need is for you
To be the one
Don't lie, lie, lie

Diamond girl,
I wanna wrap you around the world
I'll never let you touch the ground
I'll be your Biggie, you'll be my Lil' Kim

Inquitita, mira que yo quiero decirte
Io que no sabes
Y vos solamente contame la verdad
Vas a ver que yo tel guardo

Just
Say what you want, say what you mean
Girl all I need is for you
To be the one that I believe
Can I believe you?
Say what you want, say what you mean
Girl all I need is for you
To be the one
Don't lie, lie, lie

Diamond girl,
I wanna wrap you around the world
I'll never let you touch the ground
I'll be your Biggie, you'll be my Lil' Kim [x3]

If they could see you now
They would surely bow
In the honor of your presence dear
You've come

The cameras blind your eye
Here's the big surprise:
Flash never lasts
You've gotta pay your way back in

'Cause who you are, what you say
You're just a boy who's afraid of the dark
What you've got means shit to me
I'm not impressed by the dress
And the sex that you bought

Bright city lights
And big, big city nights
Here the hand that feeds you bites you dear
Fear not

Bless your troubled soul
But there's hope for all
For a bag of cash you can always
Turn your profits in

'Cause who you are, what you say
You're just a boy who's afraid of the dark
What you've got means shit to me
I'm not impressed by the dress that you bought

'Cause who you are, what you say
You're just a boy who's afraid of the dark
What you've got means shit to me
I'm not impressed by the dress
And the sex that you bought

There's always room for something
When nothing's next to you
Hotshot, grab on to something
They're coming after you

Who you are, what you say
You're just a boy who's afraid of the dark
What you've got means shit to me

'Cause who you are, what you say
You're just a boy who's afraid of the dark
What you've got means shit to me
I'm not impressed by the dress
And the sex that you bought


. . .



I was buried alive
I came back to haunt you
Are you dying to believe
I can't go on without you?
All we are is too fast for love

We're too young
I hate to love you
The night sky
Hangs above you
But you can't be missed
If you never go away

It's the end of a broken heart
I went on without you
I was lost from the start
I did what I had to
All we are is too fast for love

We're too young
I hate to love you
The night sky
Hangs above you
But you can't be missed
If you never go away

You don't know what I've seen
You can see that I've been damaged
Without you
And I don't know where you've been
I can wash your sins away

We're too young
I hate to love you
The night sky
Hangs above you
But you can't be missed
If you never go away

It's the end of a broken heart [x4]
