WELCOME TO THE BLACK PARADE
When I was,
A young boy,
My Father,
Took me into the city,
To see a marching band.
He said,
"Son when,
You grow up,
Would you be,
The savior of the broken, the beaten, and the damned?"
He said,
"Will you,
Defeat them,
The demons, and all the non-believers,
The plans that they have made?
Because one day,
I'll leave you,
A phantom,
To lead you in the summer,
To join The Black Parade."
When I was,
A young boy,
My Father,
Took me into the city,
To see a marching band.
He said,
"Son when,
You grow up,
Would you be,
The savior of the broken, the beaten, and the damned?"
Sometimes I get the feeling,
She's watching over me,
And other times I feel like I should go.
And through it all,
The rise and fall,
The bodies in the streets.
And when you're gone,
We'd want you all to know,
We'll carry on,
We'll carry on,
And though you're dead and gone, believe me,
Your memory will,
Carry on,
Will carry on,
And in my heart,
I can't contain it,
The anthem won't explain it.
And will we send you reeling,
From decimated dreams,
Your misery and hate will kill us all.
So paint it black and take it back,
Let's shout it loud and clear,
Keep fighting 'til the end,
We hear the call.
To carry on,
We'll carry on,
And though you're dead and gone, believe me,
Your memory will,
Carry on,
Will carry on,
And though you're broken and defeated,
Your weary widow marches on.
On and one, we carry through the fears.
(Oh-hoh-hoh...)
The dissapointed faces of your peers.
(Oh-hoh-hoh...)
Take a look at me, 'cause I could not care at all, and, oh,
Bridge:
Do or die
You'll never make me,
'Cause the world
Will never take my heart,
You can try,
You'll never break me,
Want it all,
I'm gonna play this part,
I won't explain,
Or say I'm sorry,
I'm not ashamed,
I'm gonna show my scar,
You're the chair,
For all the broken,
Listen here,
Because it's only,
I'm just a man,
I'm not a hero,
I'm just a boy,
Who had to sing this song,
I'm just a man,
I'm not a hero,
And I, don't, care.
We'll carry on,
We'll carry on,
And though you're dead and gone, believe me,
Your memory will,
Carry on,
Will carry on,
And though you're broken and defeated,
Your weary widow marches on.
We'll carry on.
We'll carry on...



HELENA
Long ago
Just like the hearse you die to get in again
We are...
So far from (in a whisper) you
Burning on, just like the match you strike to (drags note out) incinerate...
The lives
Of everyone you know
And what´s the worst you take? (worst to take)
From every heart you break (heart you break)
And like a blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well, I´ve been holding on tonight
What´s the worst that I could say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are,
The very hurt you sold
And what´s the worst to take? (worst to take)
From every heart you break (heart you break)
And like a blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well, I´ve been holding on tonight
What´s the worst that I could say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Well if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend to leave and then
we´ll meet again
When both our hearts colide
What´s the worst that I could say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Well if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight



THE GHOST OF YOU
I never said I'd lie and wait forever
If I died, we'd be together
I can't always just forget her
But she could try
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever ever...
Ever...
Get the feeling that you're never
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies
She dies
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me
If I fall
If I fall (down)
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna...



CANCER
Turn away
If you could get me a drink
Of water cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my Aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me
In all my favorite colors,
My sisters and my brothers, still,
I will not kiss you,
Cause the hardest part of this,
Is leaving you.
Now turn away,
Cause I´m awful just to see
Cause all my hair´s abandoned all my body,
All my agony,
Know that I will never marry,
Baby, I´m just soggy from the kemo,
But counting down the days to go.
It just ain´t living
And I just hope you know,
That if you say,
Good-bye today,
I´d ask you to be true,
Cause the hardest part of this,
Is leaving you...
Cause the hardest part of this,
Is leaving you...




CEMETERY DRIVE
This night
Walk the dead
In the solitary style and crash the
Cemetery gates
In the dress your husband hates
way down, mark the grave
Where the searchlights find us drinking by the
Mausoleum door...
And they found you on the bathroom floor
AND I miss you
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so haaard
Back home
Off the run
Singing songs that make you slit your wrists
It isn´t that much fun
Staring down a loaded gun
So I won´t stop dying
Won´t stop dying
If you want I´ll keep on crying
Did you get what you deserve?
Is this what you always want me for?
AND I miss you
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
way down, way down
way down, way down
way down, (WAY DOWN) way down (WAY DOWN)
way down, (WAY DOWN) way down!
I miss you
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so haaard
WHEN WILL I miss you
WHEN WILL I miss you, so faaar?
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard,
Made it so hard...
way down, way down
way down, way down
way down, way down
way down, way down
way... down...




THIS IS HOW I DISAPPEAR
Go!
To un-explain
the unforgivable
drain all the blood
and give the kids a show
By streetlight this dark night,night
a seance down below
there´s things that I have done
you never
Should ever know
And without you is how I disappear
and live my life alone forever now.
And without you is how I disappear
and live my life alone forever now.
Who walks among the famous living dead
Drowns all the boys and girls inside your bed
And if you could talk to me
Tell me if it´s so
That all the good girls go to heaven
Well heaven knows
That without you is how I disappear
and live my life alone forever now.
And without you is how I disappear
and live my life alone forever now.
Can you hear me cry out to you,
words I thought I´d choke on
Figure out I´m really not so with you anymore
I´m just a ghost
so I can´t hurt you anymore,
so I can´t hurt you anymore!
And now, you wanna see how far down i can sink? LET ME GO!
So you can
Well now so
You can
I´m so far away from you
Well now so
You caaan
And without you is how I disappear,
and without you is how I disappear
Forever
Forever now




TEENEGERS
they´re gonna clean up your looks
with all the lies in the books
to make a citizen out of you
because they sleep with a gun
and keep an eye on you, son
so they can watch all the things you do
because the drugs never work
they gonna give you a smirk
´cause they got methods
in keeping you clean
they gonna rip up your heads
your aspirations to shreads
another cog in the murder machine
they said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
they could care less as long as someone´ll bleed
so darken your clothes
or strike a violent pose
maybe they´ll leave you alone
but not me
the boys and girls in the clique
the awful names that they stick
you´re never gonna fit in much, kid
but if you´re troubled and hurt
what you got under your shirt
will make them pay for the things that they did
they said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
they could care less as long as someone´ll bleed
so darken your clothes
or strike a violent pose
maybe they´ll leave you alone
but not me
ooooh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!
they say all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
they could care less as long as someone´ll bleed
so darken your clothes
or strike a violent pose
maybe they´ll leave you alone
but not me
All together now,
teenagers scare the living shit out of me
they could care less as long as someone´ll bleed
so darken your clothes
or strike a violent pose
maybe they´ll leave you alone
but not me
teenagers scare the living shit out of me
they could care less as long as someone´ll bleed
so darken your clothes
or strike a violent pose
maybe they´ll leave you alone
but not me




DEAD!
Dead!!!
And if your heart stops beating
I´ll be here wondering
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life
And if you get to Heaven
I´ll be here waiting, babe
Did you get what you deserve?
The end and if your life won´t wait
Then your heart can´t take this
Have you heard the news that you´re dead?
No one ever had much nice to say
I think they never liked you anyway
Oh Take
Me from the hospital bed
Wouldn´t it be grand
It ain´t exactly what you planned
And wouldn´t it be great if
We were dead
All Dead!
All Dead!
So tired and oh so squeamish
You never fell in love
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life
And if you get to Heaven
I´ll be here waiting, babe
Did you get what you deserve?
The end and if your life won´t wait
Then your heart can´t take this
Have you heard the news that you´re dead
No one ever had much nice to say
I think they never liked you anyway
Oh Dead!
Me from the hospital bed
Wouldn´t it be grand
To dead a pistol by the hand
And wouldn´t it be great if
We were dead
And in my honest observation
During this operation
Found a complication
In your heart, so long
Cause now you´ve got
Maybe just two weeks to live
Oh is that the most the both of you can give?
One Two,
One Two Three Four
LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!-
Well come on,
LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA L´OH LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!-
Oh Motherfucker
If life ain´t just a joke
Then why are we laughing?
If life ain´t just a joke
Then why are we laughing?
If life ain´t just a joke
Then why are we laughing?
If life ain´t just a joke
Then why am I dead?




DROWNING LESSONS
Without a sound I took her down
and dressed in red and blue I squeezed
Imaginary wedding gown
That you can´t wear in front of me
A kiss goodbye, your twisted shell
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet
Lets say goodbye, the hundredth time
And then tomorrow we´ll do it again
Tomorrow we´ll do it again
I dragged her down I put her out
And back there I left her where no one could see
And lifeless cold into this well
I stared as this moment was held for me
A kiss goodbye, your twisted shell
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet
Let´s say goodbye, the hundredth time
And then tomorrow we´ll do it again
I never thought it´d be this way
Just me and you, we´re here alone
And if you stay, all I´m asking for is
A thousand bodies piled up
I never thought would be enough
To show you just what I have been thinking
And I´ll keep on making more
Just to prove that I adore
Every inch of sanity
All I´m asking for is, all I´m asking for is
COME ON!!!
These hands stained red
From the times that I´ve killed you and then
We can wash down this engagement ring
With poison and kerosene
We´ll laugh as we die
And we´ll celebrate the end of things
With cheap champagne
Without, without a sound [x2]
And I wish you away
Without a sound
And I wish you away
Without a sound, without a sound
And I wish you away [x3]




BLOOD
Well they encourage your complete cooperation
Send you roses when they think you need to smile
I can´t control myself because I don´t know how
And they love me for it honestly I´ll be here for a while
So give them blood, blood
Gallons of the stuff
Give them all that they can drink and it will never be enough
So give them blood, blood, blood
Grab a glass because there´s going to be a flood.
A celebrated man amongst the gurnies
They can fix me proper with a bit of luck
The doctors and the nurses they adore me so
But it´s really quite alarming cause I´m such an awful fuck (why thank you)
I gave you blood, blood
Gallons of the stuff
I gave you all that you can drink and it has never been enough
I gave you blood, blood, blood
I´m the kind of human wreckage that you love!




I DON´T LOVE YOU
Well, when you go
Don´t ever think I´ll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I´ll be off to find another way
And after all this time that you still owe
You´re still the good-for-nothing I don´t know
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out
While you can When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don´t love you, Like I did Yesterday"
Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless beating
But baby when they knock you
Down and out
It´s where you oughta stay
And after all the blood that you still owe
Another dollar´s just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up
While you can, Whoa, whooa, When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don´t love you Like I did Yesterday"
Well come on, come on
When you go
Would you have the guts to say
"I don´t love you, Like I loved you Yesterday"
I don´t love you, Like I loved you Yesterday"
I don´t love you, Like I loved you Yesterday"




FAMOUS LAST WORLD
Now I know
That I can’t make you stay
But where’s your heart
But where’s your heart
But where’s your...
I know
There’s nothing I could say
To change that heart
To change that heart
To change...!!!
So many
Bright lights been cast a shadow
But can I speak?
Well is it hard understanding
I’m incomplete
The life that’s so demanding
I get so weak
And all their souls are burning
I can’t speak
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I’ll be forgiving
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
Can you see
My eyes are shining bright
Cause I’m out here
On the other side
Of the jet black
Broken mirror
And I’m so weak
Well is it hard understanding
I’m incomplete
And all their souls are burning
I get weak
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay
I’ll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay
I’ll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
These bright lights are
glowing bright to me
These bright lights are
glowing bright to me
I said
I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I’d never speak
Awake and unfraid
Asleep or dead
[x4]
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay
I`ll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
[x3]




SKYLINES AND TURNSTILES
You´re not in this alone
Let me break this awkward silence
Let me go, go on record
Be the first to say I´m sorry
Hear me out,
And if you take me down
Or would you lay me out
And if the world needs something better
Let´s give them one more reason now, now, now
We walk in single file
We light our rails and punch our time
Ride escalators colder than a cell
[Chorus]
This broken city sky like butane on my skin
stolen from my eyes
Hello Angel, tell me where are you
Tell me where we go from here
[x2]
Tell me we go from...
And in this moment we can´t close the lids on burning eyes
Our memories blanket us with friends we know like fallout vapors
Steel corpses stretch out towards an ending sun, scorched and black
It reaches in and tears your flesh apart
As ice cold hands rip into your heart
That´s if you´ve still got one that´s left inside that cave you call a chest
And after seeing what we saw, can we still reclaim our innocence
And if the world needs something better, let´s give them one more reason now
[Chorus]
This broken city sky like butane on my skin
stolen from my eyes
Hello Angel, tell me where are you
Tell me where we go from here
[x2]
Tell me we go from here




YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DO TO GUYS LIKE US IN PRISON
In the middle of a gun fight
In the center of a restaurant
They say "come with your arms raised high"
Well they´re never gonna get me
Like a bullet through a flock of doves
To wage this war against your faith in me
Your life will never be the same
On your mother´s eyes say a prayer
Say a prayer!
Now! but I can´t, and I don´t know
How we´re just two men as god had made us
well i cant but i cant!
Too much, too late or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish
I´ll kiss your lips again!
They all cheat at cards
And the checkers are lost
My cellmate´s a killer
They make me do push-ups in drag
But nobody cares if you´re losing yourself
Am I losing myself?
And well I miss my mom!
Will they give me the chair?
Or lethal injection
Or swing from a rope, if you dare!
Oh, nobody knows all the trouble I´ve seen
Now! but I can´t, and I don´t know
How we´re just two men as god had made us
well i cant but i cant!
Too much, too late, or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish
I´ll kiss your lips again!
To your room, what they ask of you
Will make you want to say
So long!
But I don´t remember
Why remember. . . . you?!
Do you have the keys to the hotel?
Cause I´m gonna string the mother fucker on fire!
Life is but a dream!!!
For the dead
And well I won´t go down by myself
But I´ll go down with my friends!
NO!!(x16)
