Beyoncé is a witch Lana Del Rey's hit and miss SO. keep up with this fix I'm cross stitching a list As Noah said to Hamm Just Leave me where I am Then he said "Daughter Not water just piña colada" I'm strong enough for a man But made for something more Like Elevators and sex Life's Just Ups and Downs I guess We'll go to Tabor on a boat Raphael sees if he floats Yhey're knocking on my door Saying, "bring out the whores" I never wanted your heart That was only the start I just want your ear In rapt attention all year I'm strong enough for a man But made for something more Like Elevators and sex Life's Just Ups and Downs I guess These men look like rocks Knock offs knocking off your socks These rocks look men Hypergamy again Like the men of some renown Heaven's vault came crashing down It changed the atmosphere Drunk in a cave and chill I'm strong enough for a man But made for something more Like Elevators and sex Barely missing the door These men look like rocks Knock offs knocking off your socks These rocks look men Hyperbole again

Lesson #206 02:39
I'm calling from the next dimension Can you tell, can you feel the tension? I haven't learned a thing you should hear me sing By myself in my bedroom you can watch the dead loom Over my head you can sense we're doomed I can't even get bad review no matter what I do I put off having kids cause I watched you raise his I'm paying for the pleasure never being a contender One thing I forgot to mention Rock n' roll owes me a pension Music pays no dividends, low balances, withdrawal slips You say youth culture is bankrupt But so what Toss my song book in the fire on the lawn Warm your hands on it now every one is gone I only wrote them out for you to sing along I use cheap speakers and much cheaper guitars For a crowd of cheating widows grieving As for who is left I can hear them screamin' Think of me when you take a piss Picture this Genie, keep your last wish I'll die in a ditch One thing I forgot to mention Rock n' roll owes me a pension Music pays no dividends, low balances, withdrawal slips You say youth culture is corrupt, so am I Gate-keeping the unwed who don't know their limits With them and the undead. I last only minutes I'm glad to hear you're happy I don't want to admit it But when I see your face I just want to forget it Hey hey it's lucky I wrote u a song I keep my phone by my head in case anything goes wrong If rock n roll is dead it can lie in my bed We can talk about what next While we investigate its death Oh One thing I forgot to mention Rock n' roll owes me a pension Music pays no dividends, low balances, withdrawal slips You said youth culture is bankrupt, so am I, so am I, so am I

Lesson #208 02:40
There's something that I can admit Let me be clear about it Underneath your carapace And I know what I know and it has to be so so There's more to life than your tits So take me to your diary Let me see your manuscript Let me read how you admire me There has to be more and I'll read it until my eyes are sore You said sex wrecks everything He's got you captured by his ring You've got a weakness for shiny things You said sex wrecks everything But this always happens when I sing You've got a habit of denying me You said that you don't like his kids You like it when he grips you by the hips You keeping on making more with him I don't want to know more but you want to be sure sure It's something that I won't forget No matter how bored I get Let me have a swing of it The image of you two who barely can stand you You said sex wrecks everything He's got you captured by his ring You've got a weakness for shiny things You said sex wrecks everything But this always happens when I sing You've got a habit of denying me

We all leave sometime and leave someone behind It doesn't mean that you get to be unkind You saw this coming Saw this coming a mile away When we exit we leave someone to grieve At least that a story that we like to believe You're boarding slowly but your ticket only goes one way You wave and say Only the dead last to me The dead laugh at me Only the dead last to me The dead laugh at me They needn't wonder why at night you won't join them There's no modern man you'd count amongst your friends In an age that only leaves you depressed You're not impressed Only the dead last to me The dead laugh at me Only the dead last to me The dead laugh at me With a shot of fire ricochet we chase with pain You'll never kiss me standing underneath the rain And you'll always wonder if there was one thing you could change A barb and irons I am dying Oh Egypt dying We go out fighting Broken over the reefs we fall And then that's all Only the dead last to me The dead laugh at me Only the dead last to me The dead laugh at me

Lesson #217 02:53
Oh Election Day Oh Election Day Results are in, you saved my life I cried and waited up with you all night But you didn't elect to stay with me The poor are jumping the barricades The virgins shamed and us whores the same Just like the Epic of Gilgamesh Expecting someone else to clean up your mess I am a militant pacifist When this war is over watch my slit my wrists You can't change the world it's true Without it changing you Oh Election Day Oh Election Day I can't live without you in my life I waited up for you all night I wonder which will end first What's worse I'm cursed But the stage direction's clear Wash up get your money and get out of here Come watch the grain elevators burst We're well fed but nothing touches the thirst We're well spoken of in the past tense A craving for freedom and independence Grows only in a man still living on hope At the end of a rope Oh these jokes are old Oh these jokes are old Baby I hope never by mistake You buy a hours in a fugue state The sun's gone down and its getting late Yet we still wait

Lesson #218 01:57
I'm from the place where lost things go And I'm from the place where dark thoughts grow When we're done I'll need a skin graft And a kit to fix a life raft I don't know where they Keep the ski masks You said you wish you never saw me That time at the Salvation Army Your patience and your clothes are thin Oh Dana let me try again I'm from the place where lost things go And I'm from the place where dark thoughts grow It would have been fine if you told me You weren't strong enough to carry This burden mine I keep it buried I wander in the woods and The sky is growing dark and It's mankind's first nightmare true Oh Dana, I am lost with out you I'm from the place where lost things go And I'm from the place where dark thoughts grow

Lesson #219 02:26
It's not just for one of us What's all the fuss my captor Was it just her skin, her face, her soul Her sign they're after? He doesn't care where she's going to go Ask her if she still keeps all her kings in the back row So it's not just guy thing, or my thing Or a go out and die thing And when its not ending Its not worth spending your time on You're stuck between a jinx and a lie Love or a felony I don't have other places to go Or other people to see Ex marks the spot Remind me not I have been caught We fought a lot Forget me please I'm underneath Remember me For who I tried to be Ex marks the spot Remind me not I have been caught We fought a lot Forget me please I'm underneath Remember me Or die trying
48.
Lesson #221 02:37
Peace of mind or slight of hand That's what it takes to be a man Before I go, there's one more thing You look so stupid when you sing I saw your face I read your letter Just when I thought it would get better And I'll start by myself, oh you know Reverse the first reverse anniversary And be cursed to spend your future with me 20 years of this mess And I'm less than impressed What's more is less I confess You were all wet and on all fours They thought your screams meant you want more Remember me, shy, at your door When you see my name on a jewelry store I was still raw And dressed in leather You bring the tar, I'll bring the feathers And I'll start by myself, oh you know Reverse the first reverse anniversary And be cursed to spend your future with me 20 years of this mess and I'm less than impressed What's more is less I confess Say what you will it's a bad dream I hate to think that people think I'm mean Just when you're down its swim upstream An on my grave to place wreath Were you shook when you were cooked by your crooked occupation Forever chasing treasure in lieu of a vacation Constricted by addictions and in need of of validation Forever giving weather on a forgotten station

Lesson #224 02:58
They sat us an inch apart and now look what they started From the moment that we met you knew you'd end up brokenhearted Near sighted, Jedi knighted, here I am, take some notes boys So excited, you can't hide it, so why fight it just to make noise Hey hey put the sin back in sings Hey hey this is how it begins I know trouble when I see it spelled out I'm your problem I'm your problem now You got me coming over and you know it's a big deal I don't know what I want but I know it's about to get real Take a second to take it in take a minute to remind yourself Prepare for unlimited drama and limited mental health Just a spell Hey hey put the sin back in sings Hey hey this is how it begins I know trouble when I see it spelled out. I'm your problem I'm your problem now

Lesson #225 02:36
I'm gonna kill myself With or without your help It's just the way I was feeling at the time I'm going to need myself When there's nobody else When you leave me No one will believe me Oh, I'm gonna kill myself With or without your help It's just the way I was feeling at the time I'm gonna help myself This isn't a dizzy spell I'm gonna date myself I already hate myself And you must be proud To change your name like that To call me names like that And pull your face like that And you must be proud To change your name like that To change your name like that And pull your face like that
