the lyrics posted above are wrong. here are the correct lyrics, per the album liner notes. Say that you were stranded on a desert island What books you going to bring what friends would tag along? Say you had a month you knew you were dying How’d you spend your time what goodbyes would take too long? You don’t like this game and you take exception Who wants all this trouble even hypothetical? With the charging sky above And the ground below that could swallow everyone Staring at your phone at another party Spent a lot on clothes got a lot of skin to show People in the pool like a drowning army The smoke alarm emotes and the hotel lobby glows Wish that you could dance but you got no partner Keep tapping on your glass ‘cause you want to make a toast To the ennui of our times To the selfishness in everyone you know Made a lot of friends but they can’t be trusted don’t know what their angle is Post up at the bar and I’m double fisting talking to a mannequin Don’t know what he means when he takes my pulse and says that I’m a lot like him I say, “That’s fair enough, that’s why I’m trying to loosen up” Every lunatic must be well-intentioned Sets himself apart he’s an instrument of God Took her from the playground to the farmhouse cellar Kissed while he killed her like a good Samaritan Finally found her body many autumns after Interviewed her mother said she’d now be twenty-one And although we lost her young I know the Good Lord has a plan for all of us Mormons at the door they look clean and handsome always have a good sales pitch Your little sister swears she can paint my aura but I can’t take her serious Need something to blame for this human nature is that what this condition is? I’m so bored with my life, but I’m still afraid to die Everyone’s asleep in this burning building and I can’t wake them up in time You go on ahead I’ll be right behind you we’re headed to the finish line I can’t get closer till this is over Pretend that you were stranded on a desert island What would be the message that you’d spell out for the plane? Say the engine failed when that plane was flying If you were the pilot would you curse or would you pray? No one’s gonna cry at this John Doe funeral Not a lot to say didn’t even have a name Light a candle just in case he was someone’s friend Throw some flowers on the grave |

i think these are the correct lyrics - from what i can gather. they're far closer than the ones posted above. Do you stop and stare, struck down as shaken, washed By this constant, panicked wishing for what's lost As you're standing on some curb waiting to cross Would you say you feel like some weak leaf wind-turned and tossed? All the time, every day, every day, all the time, all the time Every day, every day As the streets sail by the seats inside your car Does each face outside collide against your heart As you watch the blaze and fade it into the dark Do you wanna scream that you're so pleased with who they are Every day, all the time, all the time, every day, every day All the time, every day When that moment arrives, oh that sweet and tender pain Do you think how there'll come a time when you'll never feel it again? Do you try to make it right by thinking that if someone else feels it It's real and it won't go away? Do you? Do you fall so short of all that's in your heart? When your friends who you should put up, you instead pick apart? Do you watch the world get cold and crushed and small? And when you could do so much you do fuck all? All the time, every day, every day, all the time, all the time Every day, every day And considering all this and agreeing that it's true Is it hard each time just to feel something new? But do you sometimes wish not to feel anymore? Wall it off? Make it all go away? Just put it to an end, no question Any day, all the way, every time, any day, any time, all the way And I say when you pray for grace to come Were you born yesterday, are you dumb? Are you insane? Don't be ashamed, I'm the same Yeah, I'm that way But I try Every day And all the time |
