Everybody knows
The thing she does to please
Low Cut sweaters
With Her skirts above her knees
She's a dime store diamond
Everybody knows
Just where she gets her clothes
A watercolor painting
In a Renoir pose

She's a dime store diamond
Dime store Diamond
Eh, Eh, Eh

Everybody knows
But no one can tell
Homemade haircut
But she wears it well
She's a dime store diamond
You can call her broke
You can call her poor
But everybody knows that
She ain't coal no more

She's a dime store diamond
Dime store Diamond

Shines like the real thing, real thing, real thing

ooohh oh ooooh, oh oh oh ohhh
ooohh oh ooooh, oh oh oh ohhh

It's a cruel cruel world, to face on your own,
A heavy cross, to carry along,
The lights are on, but everyone's gone,
And it's cruel

It's a funny way, to make ends meet,
when the lights are out on every street,
It feels alright, but never complete,
without joy,

I checked you, if it's already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it,
On the rainy nights, even the coldest days,
you're moments ago, but seconds away,
The principal of nature, it's true but, it's a cruel world,

ooooh oooh oohh, ooh ooh oooh ooh, ooo wooah

We can play it safe, or play it cool,
follow the leader, or make up all the rules,
whatever you want, the choice is yours,
So choose,

I checked you, if it's already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it,

ei ei ei ei ei, oh oh oh oh oh, ye oh oh,
ei ei ei ei ei, oh oh oh oh oh, ye eh, ye eh, ye eh,

I just knew, it's already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it,

ei ei ei, woah wo, yeah eh
ei ei ei ei ei, oh oh oh oh oh, ye eh, ye eh, ye eh,

I checked you, if it's already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it,
ei ei ei ei ei, oh oh oh oh oh, ye oh oh,
ei ei ei, oh oh oh oh oh, ye eh, ye eh, ye eh,

I just knew

There's an equation
You plus me equals dead
To the science
At those who dare to forget
There was a time
Before girls knew they weren't pretty yet
There was a time
Before boys knew they weren't tough enough

You're the 8th wonder of the world
So don't abuse it
You're just another beating drum
A rhythm for generations to come
You're the 8th wonder of the world
Undisputed
Not just another bleeding heart
But a masterpiece a work of art

It's like a choir
Voices that will never be heard
A desire, share by one in a million people
There was a time
Before girls knew they weren't pretty yet
There was a time
Before boys knew they weren't tough enough

You're the 8th wonder of the world
So don't abuse it
You're just another beating drum
A rhythm for generations to come
You're the 8th wonder of the world
Undisputed
Not just another bleeding heart
But a masterpiece a work of art

And if there's a chance I'll take it
And if there's a risk I'll take it
And if there's a chance I'll take it
And if there's a risk I'll take it
Take it
Take it

You're the 8th wonder of the world
So don't abuse it
You're just another beating drum
A sound for generations to come
You're the 8th wonder of the world
Undisputed
Not just another bleeding heart
But a masterpiece a work of art

Call yourself a romantic
Let me explain
Been Across the whole Atlantic
And back again
I had it with your antics
Your childish games
Baby
I call your number twice
But it rang and rang
Against my best friends advice
I should be ashamed
(You) Did it to me once
You'll do it again
So she says

Love long distance
Is testing me trying my patients
I need more of your assistance now
Love long distance
Is testing me trying my patients
I need more of your assistance now

Heard it through the bass line
Not much longer would you be my baby

Work yourself into a panic
Bent outta shape
And then take me for granted
Like nothings changed
All my friends are asking
Why you're that way
But I can't explain
Why I call your number twice
And / but it rang and rang
Against my best friends advice
I should be ashamed
You did it to me once
You'll do it again
She promises

Love long distance
Is testing me trying my patients
I need more of your assistance now
You're making me crazy
The way that you've been acting lately
I need more of your assistance now

Breaking Up or Breaking Down
When I need you, you can't be found
I want someone who's around for me
Does it have to be so complicated?
Either way I'm devastated
I could use a little comforting

Love long distance
Is testing me trying my patients
I need more of your assistance now
Love long distance
Is testing me trying my patients
I need more of your assistance now

Love, love, love, love
I need some assistance now
Love
(And) I will Thank you for your cooperation
(And) I will Thank you for your cooperation
Stop playing with me

Find yourself in a situation
Can't talk your way out of
Stimulate the conversation
How do you rise above
You try to tell some one
But you can't describe it
We'll start a demonstration
Or we'll create a scene
Make noise from our frustration
Newspapers, magazines
We'll turn them on their heads
You can't deny it

For once
We'll do what come naturally
We'll approach it casually
With no apology
For once
We will have the final say
Goodbye to yesterday
'Cause we know we're hear to stay

Pop, pop, pop goes the world
New sensation
Pop, pop, pop goes the world
New creation

Give every generation
A different set of rules
We'll start with TV stations
The radios and schools
Just try to have some fun
And don't get caught
We'll capture their attention
We'll make them quite aware
Of all of our intentions
We'll make 'em stop and stare
They'll take a second look
On second thought

For once
We'll do what come naturally
We'll approach it casually
With no apology
For once
We can have the final say
Goodbye to yesterday
'Cause they know we're hear to stay

Pop, pop, pop goes the world
New salvation
Pop, pop, pop goes the world
New translation
Pop, pop, pop goes the world
New elation
Pop, pop, pop goes the world
New sensation

I got the beat
I got the beat
You know I do
Set the right kind of feeling
For the Vertical Rhythm night proof
Wake up after dark
I ain't no weather man
But I know it's gonna rain
You're predictable and typical
Always say the same thing
And you know you do

Out of reach
Out of time
You always seem to be
Outta sight
Outta mind
You always seem to be
Two steps behind

Eye for an eye
Nail for a nail
Tooth for a tooth
What goes around comes back around
You better make the right move
Or you won't wake up at all
I ain't no better man
But I know not to complain
You're so conventional it's comical
How you always do the same thing
And you know you do

Out of reach
Out of time
You always seem to be
Two steps
Outta sight
Outta mind
You always seem to be
Two Steps behind
Two steps behind

Just when you need it
Just when you fear it
Just when ya think it's over
It begins again
Just when ya think it's over
It begins again

Out of reach
Out of time
You always seem to be
Outta sight
Outta mind
You always seem to be

Just when you think you've got yourself together
Just when you think you've got it made
Just when you think you've got yourself together
Just when you think you've got it made

Two arms
Meant to hold you
Meant to love you

Meant to hold you
Meant to love you
Do the right thing
Do the right thing

Shame, shame, shame
Ooooh I, I, I, I, shame, shame, shame

I haven't felt this way
Since I was seventeen
You know what I mean
Guilty of love in the first degree
Baby
Dance
Like there's nobody looking
Slide
Like you're coming my way
Shake
Like you know what you're doing
We're out all night
And sleep all day

Na, na, na, na
Men in love
Na, na, na, na
Men In love, with each other
Hey
Re Intro
Shame, shame, shame
Ooooh I, I, I, I, shame, shame, shame

When morning comes
Everybody's waking up with someone
On the run
Dance
Like there's nobody looking
Slide
Like you're coming my way
Shake
Like you know what you're doing
We're out all night
And sleep all day

Its just emotion

Emotion

Tying me down
It's just emotion
Keeps me hangin' around

It's the he, e, eeeat
Calling Me, e, eee
It's the Ne, e, e, eed
To be Freeeeeeee
Yeah, yeah

I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
This time I'm for real
I've heard it once
I've heard it all before
And now are lips are sealed
Told you I'd never lie to you
You want something different
Something new, oooooh
I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
And there is nothing you can dooooooooooooo

Disappointment
Is the final word
Devotion
Is back breaking work
Emotions
Are irrational
But to ignore them
Would be critical

It's the he, he, eeeat
Calling Me, e, eee
It's the Ne, e, eeed

This time I'm for real
I've heard it once
I've heard it all before
And now are lips are sealed

I don't wanna play for keeps

I don't wanna play for keeps any more
And there is nothing you can dooooooooooooo
Doooooooo
Ooooooooh
Ooooooooh
Ooooooooh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You think you are invincible
When in fact you're powerless
You're missing the principal
You'll fear the loneliness
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

It's just like time has stopped
It's always someone's fault
Turn back the hands of the clock
I'll turn into a pillar of salt

A tragedy brings misery
Misery loves company
Company is misleading
I've made it this far
Without you
Without you
Without you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

So quick to seal our fate
Give it a second chance
We'll hurry up and wait
Victims of circumstance

A tragedy brings misery
Misery loves company
Company is misleading
I've made it this far
Without you
Without you
(Without you)

My heart may never beat again baby
Or have you got the best of me
My heart may never beat again baby
Or have you got the best of me
My heart may never beat again baby
Or have you got the best of me
My heart may never beat again baby
Or have you got the best of me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You think you are invincible
You're missing the principal
You think you are invincible
You're missing the principal

A tragedy brings misery
Misery loves company
Company is misleading
I've made it this far
Without you
Without you
Without you
I've made it this far
Without you

There are pictures of me
Around your room
You come on strong
Too much too soon
And unfortunately
I'm not amused
Don't get me wrong
Don't get confused

Ooooooh, ahhhhhhh
This is the last time I love and let love
Ooooooh, ahhhhhhh
This is the last time I love and let love

Yeah, yeah
There are certain things
You can't for see
I have visions of you
But not with me
You know it's not like us
To disagree
You'll get the point
Eventually

Ooooooh, ahhhhhhh
This is the last time I love and let love
Ooooooh, ahhhhhhh
This is the last time I love and let love

It is a long, long way to February
Where the ocean meets the sun
Got me wonderin' is this necessary
When we've only just begun

Ooooooh, ahhhhhhh
This is the last time I love and let love
Ooooooh, ahhhhhhh
This is the last time I love and let love
Ooooooh, ahhhhhhh
This is the last time I love and let love
Ooooooh, ahhhhhhh
This is the last time I love and let love

The grass is greener
The air is sweeter
You have to see her
To believe her
A great deceiver
Won't help you either
You're only fallin'
Deeper and deeper

Ahhhh, ooooh, ah, ah, ah
Oooooh, ahhhhhhh
Oooooh, ah, ah, ah,

It is a long, long way to February
Where the ocean meets the sun
Got me thinkin' is this necessary
When we've only just begun

Outro
It's a long, long way
Such a long, long way
It's a long, long way to February
Where the ocean meets the sun

Oooooh 1
Oooooh, oooooh, ooh, ooh, oooooooh

Put my best foot forward
Trying to ignore the events of the day
Pacing back and forth
Slowly going nowhere
Running in place

And it looks like it's gonna rain again
Ohhh another four letter word
Never gonna be the same again
Ohhh another four letter word
Oooooh 2
Oooooh, oooooh, ooh, ooh, oooooooh
Oooooh, oooooh, ooh, ooh, oooooooh

Staring out my window
Look down at the street below
Children at play
Round and round and round it goes
Where it stops no one knows
Their faces seem to say

That it looks like it's gonna rain again
Ohhh another four letter word
Never gonna fall in love again
Ohhh another four letter word

Love is a four letter word
That should never be heard
Love is a four letter word
A four letter word
Yeah

L is for leaving
O is for on time
V is for the voices warning me I'll lose my mind
E is for the ending
The unhappy ending of the four letter word

And it looks like it's gonna rain again
Ohhh another four letter word
I never want to see your face again
Ohhh another four letter word
Oooooh 3
Oooooh, oooooh, ooh, ooh, oooooooh
Oooooh, oooooh, ooh, ooh, oooooooh
Yeah

OUTRO
Never gonna fall in love again
Never wanna to see your face again
Never gonna fall in love again
I never wanna see your face again

Hut, hut, hut, hut
Hut, hut, hut, hut
Hut, hut, hut, hut
Hut, hut, hut, hut, hut

It's a grueling road to nowhere
Sneaking out the bedroom
Sleeping in the basement
God just get me somewhere
Anywhere, any hole in the ground will work
And who cares if it hurts
'Cause I've been through worse
I make the right mistakes
And I say what I mean

Spare Me From The Mold

Hut, hut, hut, hut
Hut, hut, hut, hut
Hut, hut, hut, hut
Hut, hut

Been years of desperation
For a life long sentence
Of repentance
Anxiety
Separation
Pay attention to the wild combination
Of education and desecration
You'll know when it hits

Spare me from the mold
Steal from the till
Spare me from the mold
Steal from the till
Spare me from the mold
Steal from the till
Spare me from the mold
