Fear & Loneliness
Are you coming in?
The gates are wide open
To Fear & Loneliness
Fear & Loneliness
The waters are clear
They’re warm and neon lit
So are you coming in?
Fear & Loneliness
Fear & Loneliness
Are you coming in? (come on in)
Are you coming in?
To Fear & Loneliness
What’s that?
I stopped breathing
I’m surprised my heart keeps beating
Like a tiger at the three ring
You had me jumping through hoops
On fire
Yeah fire
So tell me my why it is I listen
Tell me why I always give in
Come on honey is this vision
Yours or mine?
Look me in the eyes
Don’t act so surprised
When I say goodbye
You got nothing left to hide behind
Look me in the eyes
Don’t act so surprised
When I say goodbye
You got nothing left to hide behind
Look up
I’m not kidding
The air up here it’s getting real thin
With both ends already burning
You left me hanging out on
A wire
A wire
So this time I don’t wanna listen
This time I’m not gonna give in
Yeah you always knew this vision
Wasn’t mine
Look me in the eyes
Don’t act so surprised
When I say goodbye
You got nothing left to hide behind
Look me in the eyes
Don’t act so surprised
When I say goodbye
You got nothing left to hide behind
Can you feel the tension?
Have I got your attention yet?
Look me in the eyes
Don’t act so surprised
When I say goodbye
You got nothing left to hide behind
Look me in the eyes
Don’t act so surprised
When I say goodbye
You got nothing left to hide behind
If we wrote a movie
Come on baby tell me
Who’d play you
And who’d play me?
With all that LA money
We could really make something
Of our dreams
Just you and me
In the first act we could cruise in a Cadillac drop top
Rob a bank run from the cops
If we only lived on screen
Don’t tell me it’s just a dream
Through this lens I want to see
A Hollywood Hollywood
A Hollywood ending
Hollywood
Hollywood
Hollywood
A Hollywood ending
We could drive down that street
The one with all the palm trees
You’re Vivian
And I’m Eddie
You can buy everything you’ll see
I can picture the scene
I’ll save you
If you save me
Here’s looking at you rewriting the script for True Romance
We’ll cross the border to give ourselves a chance
If we only lived on screen
Don’t tell me it’s just a dream
Through this lens I want to see
A Hollywood Hollywood
A Hollywood ending
Hollywood
Hollywood
Hollywood
A Hollywood ending
Don’t tell me it’s just a dream
Don’t tell me it’s not going to end like a movie
You’re tearing me apart
I’ve been so lost in this plot
Hollywood
Hollywood
Don’t tell me it’s just a dream
Through this lens I want to see
A Hollywood Hollywood
A Hollywood ending
Hollywood
Hollywood
Hollywood
Hollywood Ending
Don’t tell me it’s just a dream
Don’t tell me it’s not going to end like a movie
A Hollywood Ending
You say I’m a lot of talk
I guess the rose colour wore off
Now we’re running
Now we’re running out the clock
I know that I ignored the signs
Write your tickets
I’ll pay the fines
Now there’s money
Where my mouth is this time
Can’t hardly breathe
I feel each of the seconds ticking
And I’m waiting so anxiously
For you to tell me
For you to tell me
Is it too late now?
Is it too late now?
Too late now
Too late now
Too late now
Is it too late now?
Is it too late now?
Too late now
Too late now
Too late now
Is it too late?
Glass house I was throwing stones
I tore this down all on my own
And I didn’t care
Who I hurt or what I broke
Can’t hardly breathe
I feel each of the seconds ticking
And I’m waiting so anxiously
For you to tell me
For you to tell me
Is it too late now?
Is it too late now?
Too late now
Too late now
Too late now
Is it too late now?
Is it too late now?
Too late now
Too late now
Too late now
Is it too late?
After all I put you through
I can’t believe I’m asking you
Is it too late now?
Too late now
Too late now
Too late now
Is it too late now?
If we could only
If we could only turn back time (turn back time)
If we could only
If we could only turn back time (turn back time)
Is it too late now?
Is it too late now?
Too late now
Too late now
Too late now
Is it too late now?
Is it too late now?
Too late now
Too late now
Too late now
Is it too late?
After all I put you through
I can’t believe I’m asking you
Is it too late now?
Too late now
Too late now
Too late now
Is it too late now?
Is it too late?
All the lights and the cameras and the action
You’ve always reminded me of some famous actress
In a Courtney Love t-shirt and a Western fringe jacket
So tall and blonde and evenly back-lit
So I bought a dream in a Black Friday blowout
Then I moved to California for a 6-foot knockout
Goddamn Pamela Anderson
Eat your heart out
Eat your heart out
Shangri-La-La-La-La-La-Oooh
Shangri-La-La-La-La-La-Oooh
Shangri-Lost
Shangri-Lost
Let’s fast-forward to the more tragic
Isn’t that the way it always happens?
Listen
I have this terrible habit of revising the past with
A focus on the bad shit and that kind of damage
It doesn’t ever get quite fixed
So let me blame it on my anxiety
A luxury never afforded me
Flash it on the wide screens that light up Chavez Ravine
Is this gonna be the death of me?
(And that’s going to be the death of him)
Shangri-La-La-La-La-La-Oooh
Shangri-La-La-La-La-La-Oooh
Shangri-Lost
Shangri-Lost
Now I’m banging at the gates of The Bohemian Grove
Trying to sing and dance for all the people in the shadows
There’s trouble in paradise I know, I know, I know, trust me I know
I haven’t lost my mind yet but fuck I’m getting close
So no one else can reach me I destroyed my goddamn phone
While standing in the shallow-end in my leopard print bathrobe
With a 9-iron in one hand and a ‘45 Bordeaux
I’m yelling at whoever’s hiding-out in the mangrove
Who’s out there?
Who’s out there?
Who’s out there?
Who’s out there?
I’m a walking, talking, southern gothic
Out looking for treasure buried deep in the tropics
(What’s up today?) Oh, I’m just digging my own grave
On a lonely strip of the Pacific Coast Highway
Shangri-La-La-La-La-La-Oooh
Shangri-La-La-La-La-La-Oooh
Shangri-Lost
Shangri-Lost
Shangri-La-La-La-La-La-Oooh
Shangri-La-La-La-La-La-Oooh
Shangri-Lost
Shangri-Lost
Are you ready to jump off the ledge?
You think that I’m just chasing the sunset
This idea in my head
I can explain if you give me a second
I’ve hit so many dead, dead-ends
I’ve placed so many bad, bad bets
Sick of hitting reset
I need to know if I’m speaking your language
Quit it with the tip-toe
Show a little backbone
Sneak into the shadows
And dive into the unknown
I’m off the deep
I’m off the deep
I closed my eyes
I took the leap
Are you coming with me?
You gotta trust me
It’s not as far as it seems
Are you ready to get your feet wet?
It’s time for us to rip off the life vest
We’re in over our heads
I know it sounds kinda crazy possessed
Quit it with the tip-toe
Show a little backbone
Sneak into the shadows
And dive into the unknown
I’m off the deep
I’m off the deep
I closed my eyes
I took the leap
Are you coming with me?
You gotta trust me
It’s not as far as it seems
I’m off the deep
I’m off the deep
I closed my eyes
I took the leap
Are you coming with me?
You gotta trust me
It’s not as far as it seems
Now you’re at a crossroads
Stuck out on a plateau
Sucked into a black hole
And searching for a lifeboat
Spinning outta control
Swinging from a tightrope
Tied to a railroad
And floating out in limbo
So slip off the blindfold
Don’t blame it on a scapegoat
Just take it on the jawbone
And get a little cutthroat
Quit it with the tip-toe
Show a little backbone
Sneak into the shadows
And dive into the unknown
I’m off the deep
I’m off the deep
I closed my eyes
I took the leap
Are you coming with me?
You gotta trust me
It’s not as far as it seems
I’m off the deep
I’m off the deep
I closed my eyes
I took the leap
Are you coming with me?
You gotta trust me
It’s not as far as it seems
A heart shaped tub in a cheap motel
A summer night with a blonde bombshell
By the pool drinking zinfandel
I knew I shouldn’t but I still fell
It’s not about what’s wrong or right
Baby come inside
It’s raining in Palm Springs tonight
You got me chasing the fall
You got me chasing and risking it all
You got me chasing the fall
You got me chasing and risking it all
I’m chasing
I’m chasing your love and I want it all
We walked in put it all on red
And threw the cash all across the bed
There’s no jackpot in the end
But our love pays out dividends
It’s not about what’s wrong or right
Baby come inside
It’s raining in Palm Springs tonight
You got me chasing the fall
You got me chasing and risking it all
You got me chasing the fall
You got me chasing and risking it all
And I’m chasing
I’m chasing your love and I want it all
I’m chasing
I’m chasing your love and I want it all
I wanna ride
I wanna ride your wave
Ride your wave ‘till it ends
‘till it ends
‘till it ends
It’s not about what’s wrong or right
Baby come inside
It’s raining in Palm Springs tonight
You got me chasing the fall
You got me chasing and risking it all
You got me chasing the fall
You got me chasing and risking it all
And I’m chasing
I’m chasing your love and I want it all
I’m chasing
I’m chasing your love and I want it all
Planned my escape
But there’s a lock on the trap door
I hide all my tears on the light up dance floor
Turn the bathroom to a neon drug store
I know I’ve had a lot
But I just want a bit more
To be honest
I don’t know what’s wrong
But I know it didn’t take long
For this to come on
Everything’s fine
I’ll pretend I’m alright
Because boys don’t cry
Boys don’t
Boys don’t
Everything’s fine
Told to keep it inside
Because boys don’t cry
Boys don’t
Boys don’t
Check my heart rate there’s a crowd at the front door
I sink all my fears in each vodka water
Turn a short text to a full blown cold war
I know there’s a lot that I don’t know how to ask for
To be honest
I don’t know what’s wrong
But I know it didn’t take long
For this to come on
Everything’s fine
I’ll pretend I’m alright
Because boys don’t cry
Boys don’t
Boys don’t
Everything’s fine
Told to keep it inside
Because boys don’t cry
Boys don’t
Boys don’t
Never mind this
Need to define this
Should be behind us
That boys don’t
Boys don’t
Never mind this
Need to define this
Should be behind us
That boys don’t
Boys don’t
To be honest
I don’t know what’s wrong
But I know it didn’t take long
For this to come on
Everything’s fine
I’ll pretend I’m alright
Because boys don’t cry
Boys don’t
Boys don’t
Everything’s fine
Told to keep it inside
Because boys don’t cry
Boys don’t
Boys don’t
Boys don’t cry
Boys don’t
Boys don’t
Boys don’t cry
Boys don’t
Boys don’t
Boys don’t cry
Boys don’t
Boys don’t
Boys don’t cry
Boys don’t
Boys don’t
(Instrumental)
Won’t you be my Sahara Showgirl
I’ll be your Marlboro Man
Partners in crime, cruising across the badlands
I’m fine, just tired and sick of tippin’ my hat
Anyway, what’s the market cap
On anxiety and depression?
This shit when it hits feels like a three car collision
I’m basically out here stranded
Alone with all my baggage
All the bad TV
And the cowboy movies
Didn’t prepare me
Or give me what I need
Cuz the last time I checked
I was a wreck
I was a wreck
Let’s just let a few Fridays slide
With a little Ambien and red wine
So why don’t you
Take me to bed or lose me forever
Dress me up as your spiritual leader
I’ll pull on your strings and all your levers
Be speakin’ in tongues, you’ll be moving in seizures
A televangelist that caught just a touch of God’s fever
All the bad TV
And the cowboy movies
Didn’t prepare me
Or give me what I need
Cuz the last time I checked
I was a wreck
I was a wreck
The last time I checked
I was a wreck
I was a wreck
Anxiety
The buttons it pushes
It’s hiding under the bed
It’s jumping out of the bushes
Katy Lied on the stereo
The passing lights of the Chateau
The golden age
Everything fades
Call me a sociopath three different ways
Give it a rest you always liked the night drives the best
Now it’s just me
Self-pity
And your empty headrest
I’m falling asleep at the wheel
I’m crashing through the guard rail
I’m off a cliff
Is it real or metaphorical?
What’s the difference?
Oooh
This shaky city where the buildings sway
Oooh
Is a tough pill to swallow when it goes down sideways
Yeah when it goes down sideways
Draw the blinds and flip to the news
I’m the houseplant killer on the loose
It’s so ‘80s waterbed chic
Fighting off the skeletons swimming in the sheets
Palm trees burn off in the distance
They look pretty nightmarish
Now I’m getting all nostalgic
Oooh
This shaky city where the buildings sway
Oooh
Is a tough pill to swallow when it goes down sideways
Yeah when it goes down sideways
When it goes down sideways
When it goes down sideways
The golden age
The glory days
Hang on tight
Before they slip away
The golden age
The glory days
Hang on tight
Before they slip away
Now I’m sleeping poolside with a lemon-lime mix
Upside down
On a chaise lounge
So that’s a wrap
Pawn off the gold Strat
Another Cowboy
Stuck in the past
Oooh
This shaky city where the buildings sway
Oooh
Is a tough pill to swallow when it goes down sideways
Yeah when it goes down sideways
When it goes down sideways
When it goes down sideways
The golden age
The glory days
Hang on tight
Before they slip away
The golden age
The glory days
Hang on tight
Before they slip away
The golden age
The glory days
Hang on tight
Before they slip away
The golden age
The glory days
Hang on tight
