ALPHA DOG Clap until your hands hurt / Standing ovations or boos / Watch us until we blur / Walk off into the sunset /

Tell rock and roll I’m alone again / I want to put the Midwest home again / Your time has passed they say never means

never / Solar flare stares won’t last but never means forever / Never means forever / Never means forever / Alpha dog

and oh oh omegalomaniac / Alpha dog and oh oh mega mega low / Welcome to the new déjà vu / I can almost see the

wizard through the curtains / Alpha dog and oh oh omegalomaniac / We must have the best coats / Tell the best jokes

/ We must make it hard to look so easy doing something so hard / You must see my wink / They squint when they look

at me / I’m a star / Alpha dog and oh oh omegalomaniac / Alpha dog and oh oh mega mega low / Welcome to the new

déjà vu / I can almost see the wizard through the curtains / Alpha dog and oh oh omegalomaniac / You’re not the first

or the last / But you’re possibly the prettiest / He’s a fighter past his prime / He’s in the gutter waving his hand, / “I’m

just fine,” / Alpha dog and oh oh omegalomaniac / Alpha dog and oh oh mega mega low / Welcome to the new déjà vu

/ I can almost see the wizard through the curtains / Alpha dog and oh oh omegalomaniac
“FROM NOW ON WE ARE ENEMIES” ‘I just want to be better than your head’s only medicine’ / A downward spiral just a
pirouette / Getting worse til there’s nothing left / What good comes of something when I’m just the ghost of nothing? /
‘I’m just the man on the balcony singing’: / “Nobody will ever remember me,” / Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your knees /
(for a) / Lunatic of a god or a god of a lunatic? / Oh, their faces are dancing / They’re dancing til / Til they can’t stand it
/ A composer but never composed / Singing the symphonies of the overdosed / A composer but never composed /
‘Singing’: “I only want what I can’t have” / ‘Heralded as a king before I had a birthday / With double digits / Fit the crown
to my head but I was only a kid’ / ‘I’m just the man on the balcony singing’: / “Nobody will ever remember me,” / Rejoice,
rejoice and fall to your knees / (for a) / Lunatic of a god or a god of a lunatic? / Oh, their faces are dancing / They’re
dancing til / Til they can’t stand it / A composer but never composed / Singing the symphonies of the overdosed / A com-
poser but never composed / ‘Singing’: “I only want what I can’t have” / ‘I just want to be better than your head’s only
medicine’ / ‘I’m just the man on the balcony singing’: “Nobody will ever remember me,” / Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your
knees / (for a) / Lunatic of a god or a god of a lunatic? / Oh, their faces are dancing / They’re dancing til / Til they can’t
stand it / A composer but never composed / Singing the symphonies of the overdosed / A composer but never composed
/ ‘Singing’: “I only want what I can’t have”
YULE SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT These are your good years / Don’t take my advice / You never wanted the nice boys any-

way / And I’m of good cheer / ‘Cause I’ve been checking my list / The gifts you’re receiving from me / Will be / One: awk-

ward silence / And two: hopes you cry yourself to sleep / Staying up, waiting by the phone / And all I want this year is

for you to dedicate your last breath to me / Before you bury yourself alive / Don’t come home for Christmas / You’re the

last thing I wanna see / Underneath the tree / Merry Christmas, I could care less / Happy New Years, baby / You owe me

/ The best gift I will ever ask for / Don’t call me up, when the snow comes down / Its the only thing I want this year /

One: awkward silence / And two: hopes you cry yourself to sleep / Staying up, waiting by the phone / And all I want this

year is for you to dedicate your last breath to me / Before you bury yourself alive / Don’t come home for Christmas /

You’re the last thing I wanna see / Underneath the tree (Don’t come home for Christmas) / Merry Christmas, I could care

less / Don’t come home for Christmas / You’re the last thing I wanna see / Underneath the tree (Don’t come home for

Christmas) / Merry Christmas, I could care less
