Catch Me if You Can/Proclamation of Emaciation Lyrics

Lights and swollen glands Paris Tokyo
New New New York M-M-M-Mexico
Get plastic woo ooh
Stay tragic woo ooh
Proclamation of emancipation
Oh dear lord, please let me into heaven for just an afternoon.

Oh Sam-I-am
I can't go to sleep without ambien
Singing so high, they call me mister goodbye
Saying catch me if you can, catch me if you can

Oh Sam-I-am
I can't go to sleep without ambien
Singing so high, they call me mister goodbye
Saying catch me if you can, catch me if you can, catch

Lets talk about the scene for a minute,
I know we ain't been seen in a minute,
We left it for a minute now we all up in it
Baby boy if you've got them big dreams go and get it,
Never been the type with tight jeans that wont fit
When I see those scene girls, bet they all gonna get it
And I'm living clean
Now a lot of ya'll won't get it
Now it's mean but I don't give a damn if ya'll don't get it
So fresh and so clean in my new jean
While I'm laughing at the bacon, you're all crying a the clinic
I read a couple blogs and they had my ass livid
But now I've got my own to whirl, gotta live with it
Never played basketball, but I could show you how to pivot
Make your moves in that black hatch back Honda Civic
Like I did in high school, wishin' I could relive it
But I can't so let's go on, give the hook a revisit.

Oh Sam-I-am
I can't go to sleep without ambien
Singing so high, they call me mister goodbye
Saying catch me if you can, catch me if you can
Oh Sam-I-am
I can't go to sleep without ambien
Singing so high, they call me mister goodbye
Saying catch me if you can, catch me if you can, catch

Or it could be "seem so high, they call me Mr. Goodbye," the way it sounds; and it rhymes, too. Ambien is a drug, you get high off a drug. When you're high, you're considered to be "gone," so you might as well say "goodbye" to the person "taking off" or "getting high."

LyricsAreHerStory - this was the opening to a new Gym Class Heroes song off their new cd 'The Quilt.' you can hear it on the Citizens For Our Betterment Mixtape. which you can find on Fall Out Boy's friendsorenemies account.

anyway, I made my mom listen to it now, and she said it sounds like "White sand, swollen glands, Paris, Tokyo, etc...." we're still not sure about the rest after "....afternoon." :|

Pretty sure it's "Sam-I-Am", not "sandman" or "seen the end"

um......in some magazine I was reading it said it was Sam-I-am

"Oh, Sam-I-Am, can't go to sleep without at AMbien. So many Z's, they call me Mr. Goodbar. Saying, catch me if you can Catch me if you can"

It was on one of Peter's blogs...so I can only assume those are the lyrics.

I always thought it was:

"No seem to end I can't go to sleep without an Ambien Z's so hard they call me Mr. Goodbye Sayin catch me if you can"

That makes the most sense to me

Obviously, "Never played basketball, but I could show you how to PIVOT"

Cover art for Catch Me if You Can/Proclamation of Emaciation lyrics by Fall Out Boy

"Seems so hard" and "Mr. Goodbar" make sense because Mr. Goodbar is a candy bar with peanuts in it, thus being hard to chew.

I always thought it was

Oh, Sam-I-am I can't go to sleep without an Ambien [I] Seem so hard, they call me "Mr. Goodbar" Saying catch me if you can
