Queen Of The Dark lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Baby, I will be your falling star

The one that got away, the one you'll be dreaming of

Maybe we have been here once before

The darkness rearranged, you're hitting well below the waist

Wait, just relax

Now, behave, the past is all you have

All hurt in time gets better

When the truth came out, you were born to run

When the lights went out, there was no one

A ghost to haunt for closure

When the lights went out, there was no one

When the lights went out, there was no Queen of the Dark

Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark

Maybe things could be just like before

No more that I can say before the world awakes again

Is this everything you hoped for?

Lost in the lines between, the darkness found its queen

All hurt in time gets better

When the truth came out, you were born to run

When the lights went out, there was no one

A ghost to haunt for closure

When the lights went out, there was no one

When the lights went, when the lights went out

Queen of the Dark

Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark, oh

Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark, oh

All hurt in time gets better

When the truth came out, you were born to run

When the lights went out, there was no one

A ghost to haunt for closure

When the lights went out, there was no one

When the lights went out, there was no Queen of the Dark

Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark

Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark

Queen of the Dark

True Ugly lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Oh, when the lights go out

Abandon reason, listen to them shout

Divine, these monsters of flesh and bone

Oh, they make hate look so easy, no kind

Oh, show me your true ugly

The stranger you move, the sweeter you become

Now show me the good you've done

Show me the animal

We are the animal

Oh, how the times run out

(Everybody down on the ground, now, everybody down, down, down, down)

Burn yourself here in the heat of the sun

Pray it comes undone

Scream your loudest, no one's coming

Oh, show me your true ugly

The stranger you move, the sweeter you become

Now show me the good you've done

Who raised these animals?

(Down, down, down, down, down, down)

(Down, down, down, down, down)

(Bang, bang, bang, bang)

Broken migrant, knife through heel

Sing your praise so Hell can hear

Where did you come from?

The strange we walk, the touch we feel

Could you find a way to love us all?

Don't wake up

Show me stolen love

Everything, I need

Take away from me humility

Over and over I fuss, but I can't seem to sleep as they cut

Oh, no, you can't hurt me

Break, break, breaking up

Break, break, break, follow me

Break, break, breaking up

Break, break, break, follow me

Break, break, breaking up

Break, break, break, follow me

Break, break, breaking up

Break, break, break, follow me

Break, break, breaking up

Break, break, break, follow me

Break, break, breaking up

Break, break, can you hear me?

Break, break, breaking up

Break, break, break, follow me

Break, break, breaking up

Can, can, can you hear me?

Oh, show me your true ugly

The stranger you move, the sweeter you become

Now show me the good you've done (The good you've done)

(The good you've done)

Oh, show me your true ugly

The stranger you move, the sweeter you become

Now show me the good you've done

Show me the animal

You fucking animal

Don't feed us the animals

'Cause we're not done with you

There's no good you've done

Oh, show me your true ugly

The stranger you move, the sweeter you become

Now show me the good you've done

Show me the animal

Love Protocol lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

You locked a knife inside my heart

Buried a key inside my mind

The maps surveyed, the X you chart

Where our hands go to hide

Will our needs stay level

As the terrain starts to grade high?

Should I remain unsettled?

Watch goodnight turn to goodbye

Goodnight turn to goodbye

Hold on to me

Tell me you've got me, sweetheart

The world is going dim in my gaze

Sweet vertigo

Feel my lungs heaving, choking

Clawing down my back, panic attack

I'm alone, watch me float as I fall

The soundtrack placed over this heart

It shares no rhythm of mine

It juts and sways, it ends and starts

All in and out of our time

Oh, I can be your dancer

The one you set within your sights

When I admit surrender

Then maybe goodbye will turn to goodnight

Goodbye will turn to goodnight

Hold on to me

Tell me you've got me, sweetheart

The world is going dim in my gaze

Sweet vertigo

Feel my lungs heaving, choking

Clawing down my back, panic attack

I'm alone, watch me float as I fall

Oh no, we have been cursed

The stage set for a tragic verse

Our love protocoled romance

Our air drained of happenstance

What have we turned ourselves into?

This abstract personnel

Hold on to me

Tell me you've got me, sweetheart

The world is going dim in my gaze

Sweet vertigo

Feel my lungs heaving, choking

Clawing down my back, panic attack

I'm alone, watch me float as I fall

Oh, watch me float

Oh, watch me float

Watch me float as I fall

The Pavilion (A Long Way Back) lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Carried them over your shoulders, you fear

The absence, the void you'll cause

When you choose to leave them all here

There's no turning back, it's time that you steer

The wide open stares back alone at the cusp

The self that you thought you lost, the shine that burned well into rust

You can't hear my voice cause' I'm not loud enough

Believe me, when I say

It's a long way back from here

Goodbye for now

Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough

Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear?

Over and over, the light hits the dust

It's a choice that I've make but for us I'd choose to give it all up

You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay

The glistening wet concrete, the heat off the road

The clamoring hands and the bus you call home

This is it, believe what you want, in this space, I don't fit

The same day repeats with the things that you see

Dirty dressing room carpets and broken TVs

Is this it? In this water I'll tread til' the day that I'm dead

Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough

Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear?

Over and over, the light hits the dust

It's a choice that I've make but for us I'd choose to give it all up

You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay

Goodbye for now, echo, echoes

Mile marker, minutes, hours

If this is it, and there is no more

And you believe that's true

Its a long way back from here

There's no going home

Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough

Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear?

Over and over, the light hits the dust

It's a choice that I've make but for us I'd choose to give it all up

You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay

(Goodbye for now, echo, echoes)

Well, then ask me to stay

(Goodbye for now, echo, echoes)

Well, then ask me to stay

(Goodbye for now, echo, echoes)

Well, then ask me to stay

(Goodbye for now, echo, echoes)

Well, then ask me to stay

Night-Time Walkers lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Night-time walker, keep your distance

Stay away from us, stay where you are

History repeats her story, awakened by the sounds of long before

I don't wanna see you, I don't wanna believe you're here

But it's too hard not to when your songs I hear

And all the sweet repeats that make her so beautiful

Maybe it's alright and the world's not quite

What you believed is now all upside down

Maybe it's alright and the world's not quite

What you believed is now all upside down

Upside down, upside down, upside down, upside down

A shattered silence into spinning

The panic as you learn, there was nothing here worth living

Hidden from this, an end, middle, beginning

Imprisoned to watch a play where strangers stare, forgiving

I believe that you and I have slowly made it to our final goodbye

And when they ask, we'll stray to omit

Only truly knowing that this us was how we want it

Maybe it's alright and the world's not quite

What you believed, it's now all upside down

Go on, here in the sound I drowned, our nerves broke down

What you believed is now all upside down

She is sailing safely inside my head while we lay in comforts of our own bed

It'll be alright, it'll be alright

Here, playing dead

She's sailing safely inside my head while we lay in the comforts of our own bed

It will be alright, we'll be alright

Here, playing dead

She's sailing safely inside my head while we lay in the comforts of our own bed

It'll be alright, we'll alright

Here, playing dead

She's sailing safely inside my head while we lay in the comforts of our own bed

It'll be alright, we'll be alright

Here, playing dead

Maybe its alright to turn it upside down and start things over

Maybe its my time to turn it upside down and start things over

The Gutter lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Over my dead body

The stars will let you know

It's over

Now if I had my way

I would leave you here to waste your final days

Buried beneath

With the possibility of how things could be!

Oh please rest assured this was not my fault

And time is getting short

So I'll be here if you want me

Beaten and covered in a red so bloody!

Oh my darling can you hear?

My words so pure they burn your lying ears

And so the story goes

When I leave will you let me go?

When the words stop coming

And the fear starts setting in slow

Don't let me find you hiding under the covers

It's your last chance oh you'd better

Call your mother!

All our hope is lost down in the gutter

When you're in your bed

Sleeping toward the void

So deep it feels like death

Oh don't you wake wake

Oh my love I hear

Life holds nothing for us beyond our time in here

Oh don't you dare turn your back on me

No use running when the bad guy's coming!

Oh I think you've got me pegged as the wrong man

Oh I think you've got me pegged

And so the story goes

When I leave will you let me go?

When the words stop coming

And the fear starts setting in slow

Don't let me find you hiding under the covers

It's your last chance oh you'd better

Call your mother!

All our hope is lost down in the gutter

We were better together I know that much

Oh can't you see

Through the bad and the good we had all the luck

The devil's got nothing on us

You and me

Oh, baby over my dead body

Oh, baby over my dead body

Oh, baby over my dead body

We're still counting on you

We'll keep counting on you

Mother come on out

Show me what the world is all about

We'll keep counting on you

Mother come on out

Show me what the world is all about

We'll keep fighting for you

We'll keep fighting for you

We'll keep fighting for you

We'll keep

We'll keep fighting!

Oh I think you've got me pegged as the wrong man

Oh I think you've got me pegged

And so the story goes

When I leave will you let me go?

When the words stop coming

And the fear starts setting in slow

Don't let me find you hiding under the covers

It's your last chance oh you'd better

Call your mother!

All our hope is lost down in the gutter

All On Fire lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

All or nothing that you say will make me stay

Misguided by your loss and burning

Oh, you can't turn your eyes, you're glued to me

So if you don't like what you see

All on fire, oh no, please bring water

We'll soon find out who we are when all goes dark

These broken hearts and promises that always fade and never start

Have come apart

So, no longer me, no longer known

Do these moments on display suffice your need?

Please forgive me if I disagree

But your glimpse is now my nightmare

All on fire, oh no, please bring water

We'll soon find out who we are, alone in the dark

These broken hearts and promises that always fade and never start

Have come apart

All is lost and turned away

From out of my head and into the fray

Please make sure my door is closed when no one is home, no one

Sweet phantom, know now that I respect

Your cautious pantomime

Between what's said and what was meant

A shifting paradigm

Believe, my lover, it's time I disconnect

And find the end result

Come slither, you snake, please bring me back

To when life was wonderful

This heart of mine divides

(No longer do I, do I... No longer do I, do I)

When you want it, it waits

If you want it, it waits

(No longer do I, do I... No longer do I, do I)

Cause all on fire, oh no, please bring water

Oh no, please bring, please bring water, please bring water

All on fire, oh no, please bring water

Oh no, please bring, please bring water, please bring water

We'll soon find out who we are, alone in the dark

These broken hearts and promises that always fade and never start

Have come apart

We'll soon find out who we are, alone in the dark

These broken hearts and promises that always fade and never start

Have come apart

(Please bring water, please bring water)

It Walks Among Us lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

A stale side double feature, so bad I couldn't eat ya

Creature, come and get it, Creature, come and get it

Creature's coming

Hyperdrive Mona Lisa, I wouldn't wanna be ya

Creature, come and get it, Creature, come and get it

Your bright ideas always burn me, oh, you should

Come on and walk among us, come on and walk among us

Bad girls, walk among us, come on and walk among us

Oh, honey, there goes your bastard

Oh, honey, there goes your bastard

And all I know is if you want it all, my dear

If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

And all I know is if you want it all, my dear

If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

A bad guy, motherfucker, don't want to hate or love you

Creature, come and get it, Creature come and get it

Creature's coming

Infected, don't provoke 'em, feel free to cock and load 'em

Creature, come and get it, Creature, come and get it

Bright lights here don't concern me

Come on and walk among us, come on and walk among us

Bad girls, bad, walking, walking, walking

And all I know is if you want it all, my dear

If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

And all I know is if you want it all, my dear

If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

Can you imagine all I want?

The time we had and all we lost

To be able to share that again

These automatic feelings, I feel your impression, I feel as they return

Oh, the darkness has its beauty, a vision blindly bothered to pay you no concern

Oh, the beast within me, it raged before, but I feel its fell in last

One down, two to go, I fear this stranger will not take me back

Oh, honey, there goes your bastard

Oh, honey, there goes your bastard

(Creature, come and get it, Creature come and get it)

And all I know is if you want it all, my dear

If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

And all I know is if you want it all, my dear

If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

And all I know is if you want it all, my dear

If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

And all I know is if you want it all, my dear

If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

Old Flames lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Hey, what became of my head?

The beats in my heart, the jokes that I said

I guess all these false starts

Of a puzzle you can't finish cause' you're missing the best parts

Don't you feel I'm bringing you home?

Out of this pit where I left you alone in

This horrible mess that I made

But I guess that's what you get when you're not paying attention

So baby, welcome back to the man you've been missing

Baby, welcome back to confusing, perplexing

We all go up in flames, going out in style

And Heaven help us if they'd ever let us rest for just a little while, yeah

We all go up in flames, going out in style

Am I out of my head to think the world could start believing me when I am dead?

I was a mess of a man

With washed up excuses, I know, I know

Part of the confusion is me

We both agree that I wasn't the man you needed me to be

But, oh, how I changed and oh, how I've grown

Could she believe me when I've got nothing to show?

My everything, she needs to see

The choice is hers to believe in me

So baby, I'm back and I'm not gonna stop

Baby, I'm back and I'm not gonna stop

We all go up in flames, going out in style

And Heaven help us if they'd ever let us rest for just a little while, yeah

We all go up in flames, going out in style

Am I out of my head to think the world could start believing me when I am

I am dead?

You and me, we're not enemies, I'm begging

If anything, oh, we are, we are

In harmony, sing with me, I plead

Oh, if I can make things right then this will be our night

The world against you and I

We all go up in flames, go out in style

We all go up in flames, going out in style

And Heaven help us if they'd ever let us rest for just a little while, yeah

We all go up in flames, going out in style

Am I out of my head to think the world could start believing me when I am dead?

I said na, na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na nanana nanana nanana na nanana

Na, na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na nanana nanana nanana na nanana

"Are you ready?"

"Since the day we met"

"You're adorable"

Na, na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na nanana nanana nanana na nanana

Na, na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na nanana nanana nanana na nanana na

Lucky Stars lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

This could be the biggest mistake we make in this life

Chasing as we tried to compete for each other's time

From the world we locked ourselves inside, in a place to keep us safe from all to see

They can't hide you from me

Thank your lucky stars that we can call this ours

We've had some bad ideas yet we're still here in this life worth dreaming

I can be your heart, be your soul, just don't let me off easy, don't you let me go

Thank your lucky stars that we can call this ours

A lovely mess we find ourselves in, we brave it so bold

Quietly, we dance through the heat, your hand as I hold

But their warnings left us no concerns as we swallow the truth whole, unoriginal

We're losing control

Thank your lucky stars that we can call this ours

We've had some bad ideas yet we're still here in this life worth dreaming of

I can be your heart, be your soul, just don't let me off easy, don't you let me go

Thank your lucky stars

Remember all the ghosts that you left them with

Remember all the ghosts that you left them with

Remember all the ghosts that you left them with

Don't give 'em up, don't give 'em up, don't give 'em up

Thank your lucky stars that we can call this ours

We've had some bad ideas yet we're still here in this life worth dreaming

I can be your heart, be your soul, just don't let me off easy, don't you let me go

Thank your lucky stars

Thank your lucky stars

Thank your lucky stars

Thank your lucky stars

Thank your lucky stars

Thank your lucky stars

Thank your lucky stars

Thank your lucky stars

Thank your lucky stars

A Friend To Enemies lyrics - Claudio Sanchez

Desert boy, you made your wish

Now wait and see

All alone in this wide world

Afraid, but don't be

You sure found an easy way

To those city streets

Oh, they're yours, patience and time

A love you will find

Broken king, you gave your rule

What a mess you've made

Through a time, you made us fear

You scorched this place

If you could find the will to be

To walk that line

Would they love, love you enough

To keep you up?

So please, tell me your heart's in the right place

Can you feel it as it beats?

I care more than these words convey

A friend to enemies

Ooh, tell me your heart's in the right place

Can you feel it as it beats?

I care more than these words convey

A friend to enemies

A lesson taught, you learned it well

You crazy kid

Applauding all you've given them

The hurt you mend

And now you're off to be a man

It's well deserved

Oh, all is yours, we'll watch you grow up

So proud, all you've done

So please, tell me your heart's in the right place

Can you feel it as it beats?

I care more than these words convey

A friend to enemies

Ooh, tell me your heart's in the right place

Can you feel it as it beats?

I care more than these words convey

A friend to enemies

A friend to enemies

A friend to enemies

Beer Drinkers And Hell Raisers lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

(originally by ZZ Top)

If you see me walkin' down the line

With my favorite honky-tonk in mind

Well, I'll be here around suppertime

With my can of dinner and a bunch of fine

Beer drinkers and hell raisers, yeah

Uh-huh-huh, baby, don't you wanna come with me?

The crowd gets loud when the band gets right

Steel guitar cryin' through the night

Yeah, tryin' to cover up the corner fight

But everything's cool 'cause they just tight

Beer drinkers and hell raisers, yeah

Huh, baby, don't you wanna come with me?

Ah, play it, boy

The joint was jumpin' like a cat on hot tin

Lord, I thought the floor was gonna give in

Soundin' a lot like a house congressional

Cause were experimental and professional

Beer drinkers, hell raisers, yeah

Well, baby, don't you wanna come with me?

Jessie's Girl 2 lyrics - Coheed and Cambria (feat. Rick Springfield)

So, a miracle happened

And I got my wish

You see, Jessie saw it fitting

(Strange to me then, makes sense to me now)

I go and take what's his

Oh, he did me dirty

But things got funny as time exposed

That didn't, that didn't, nothing could stop her

The flip side of Jessie's girl that no one knows

She's out of, she's out of, she's out of her mind

I don't love you no more

(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)

Things will get better

Sure, I probably deserved it

(Damn right, yes you did, damn right yes you did, boy)

What kind of friend was I?

The hunter became the hunted

(Strange to me then, makes sense to me now)

When I creeped into her life

Oh, so I changed my number

To 867-5305

That didn't, that didn't, that didn't stop her

She wouldn't let me leave her house alive

She's out of, she's out of, she's out of her mind

I don't love you no more

(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)

Things will get better

I don't love you no more

(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)

Things will get better

It sure seems strange he put up no fight

When she broke his heart that fateful night

Jessie played sincere, he sure seemed cool

What I hadn't known was I was his fool

We're married now, house, job, three kids

Dreaming of what life could have been

Stranded on the if's and maybe's

Had I left that monster in the 80's

I don't love you no more

(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)

Things will get better

I don't love you no more

(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)

Things will get better

I don't love you, you no more

(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)

Oh, baby, why'd you go and do this to me?

I don't love you no more

No, I don't love you no more

(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)

Things will get better
