I was sitting on a chair made of gold thinking about my deep dark distant past I was digging up the skeleton remains of my brain that were so far away I thought I’d never see them again It was raining slow and softly so it seemed I was counting all the symbols and metaphors in my dreams There was absolute silence in serenity released in capsule sized portions of REM sleep (Chorus) I'm between D'olier and Grafton On thirty minutes of sleep Promise no matter what happens You'll be there for me I was standing by the payphone all alone Where the streets where lined with green and the dreamers roamed There were similar faces and familiar picture frames Every moment took me closer to the next train Saturday seemed so imaginary and far away I knew that it was no use to try to hide or run away I heard the band play powerful ballads with purpose I took time to appreciate the lines beneath the surface (Chorus) It was starting to hit me that I had arrived The last 24 hours had played tricks on my mind and my eyes What a world to live in when you feel like you're part of it all Seeing was believing when it came time to make the call Chorus I was sitting on a chair made of gold thinking about my deep dark distant past

Maybe...you can save me from my self Save me from my sins and all the pain within Heal me,,, oh and take away this rain Take away my pain Won't you lie right to my face? (Pre-Chorus) So hold my hand and together we'll pray We never thought it would turn out this way Let me hold you one last time While we watch this world go up in fire (Chorus) Hold my hand while the sun goes down We can rule the world until those bloody bombs come down We know the sun is setting And no, we're not forgetting the end is near But I'm so glad you're here with me and I'm here with you I'll see you... when all the songs are sung When our broken hearts collapse and we fall right into ash I'll meet you...oh forever in a dream Of the twilight and moonlight and starlight of my mind's faded memory Pre-Chorus Chorus Hold my heart in your imagination Won't you hold my heart in your imagination? Won't you hold my heart in your imagination? Your love--Your love is my salvation Chorus I'm so glad you're here with me And I'm here with you

(Chorus) Electric Serenade we listen while we play Through this colorful parade we call our lives See this beauty that we made is a memento We need to give love to get love; hold on to tight to let go We need to learn to forgive and forget Learn to Live and let live without regret--look We are all superstars, even if we haven't made it yet Electric Serenade sparks fly; slow motion melting In the city of steel, and rivers and bridges and gentrification We struggle to survive, While the other ninety-nine we sit a top the hill up so high but don’t hate what isn’t perfect I won't let some woman in high heels and a let a tight black dress tell me that I’m not worth it Electric Serenade from the rooftops to the roads, to the people in the crowd; To those who have been built up and to those who have been bruised and beaten down We sing a serenade for the high wire acts, the record breakers the sword-swallowers, and the insomniacs Cause I can't sleep at night! I'm thinking about what's going wrong and I just want to make it right! (Chorus) Don't give up on me I won't give up on you Don't give up on me I won't give up on you Don't give up on me I won't give up on you Don't give up on me, I won't I won't I won't give up on you So we escape for the moments of fortune and fame And when we're on stage we try so hard to forget all the pain We're singing our hearts out for glory and the electric serenade So we ride into our cubicles, yeah we ride on into work We punch in and punch out just to wonder what for Then it's back to the grind; We give and we take, we build and we break We grin and we shake, we yearn and we ache, We do what it takes We struggle in vain, remember our names Cause you know one day we'll be treated the same (Chorus)

Tell me I'm pretty, tell me I'm deep Tell me I'm the best there was the best that you'll ever see Tell me I'm witty, laugh at my jokes I want to be the one you like the one that you love the most Tell me I'm handsome, tell me I'm cool I got this new jacket, I'll model for you In this new filter, in this new light I got the best angle everything is alright Cuz' we can be altered, and we can be free We smile in our pictures We can be what we want to be (Chorus) With the push of a button and a little red heart Caress my ego so I don't fall apart Follow me blindly, it's so easy to do Be my biggest fan and I'll follow you My job is a nightmare, my life is a mess Let me know I'm still wanted, that's all that I ask Tell me I'm pretty! I need to know that I am! Sooner or later we all play the game Walking a tightrope of modest and vain Like all my pictures, be my biggest fan I let perfect strangers define who I am With the push of a button and a little red heart Caress my ego so I don't fall apart Follow me blindly, it's so easy to do Be my biggest fan and I'll follow you With your little red heart your little red heart little red heart your little red heart I'm part of the problem, cuz I do it too Sometimes I pretend I got nothing to prove I play with the filters, I take my best shot I'm not addicted, but I can't seem to stop I put on a halo, I put on a mask Just tell me I'm pretty, Just tell me I'm pretty! Oh that's all that I ask! Whoa oh oh oh Your little red hearts Whoa oh oh oh Your little red hearts

I've been down so long I can't get my head straight and I can't fix it all, together I can't concentrate, no I know one thing You ain't gonna make me cry, no When I get my wings I'm gonna fly When I get my wings I'm gonna fly...

You look so good in neon or venom and I swear I'm bleeding but I can't see the cuts I'm just sitting here on your couch Waiting for your call (Chorus) Because tomorrow is just Tuesday But it's summer and the sky is dark don't forget how you kissed me one time And you left me wanting more And you left me wanting more You said that sayings are only good If we chose to make them so And if we wanted, we could be living quotes Then we could be the be the saying in everyone's life that's worth saving Because tomorrow is just Tuesday But it's summer and the sky is dark don't forget how you kissed me one time And you left me wanting more And you left me wanting more I never made a promise But you never kept a secret So let’s both throw up our hands and dance because it might rain soon and I know you like that Tomorrow is just Tuesday But it's summer and the sky is dark Don't forget how you kissed me one time And you left me wanting more And you left me wanting more And you left me wanting more

I remember that summer like yesterday We would sneak into the park just to get away Blue Lights streaming Stars were gleaming and I was dreaming of you We passed the time through the afternoon and then we walked hand in hand below the incandescent Moon That summer we both found bliss You showed me with your love with a kiss We danced in the twilight in the mist Wasting away together in the month of June Incandescent Moon Incandescent Moon Incandescent Moon I remember every moment The story in your heart--and how you told it We walked a trail of love Romance lit by the glow above Now when twilight's night light shows the moon I remember how it shone on us I remember you Incandescent Moon Incandescent Moon Incandescent Moon I miss you Looking back on nights we spent together and I know I still miss you In love; arms around each other--holding on and I wonder if you still think about me Cause I, I still think of you and If you want to see me again just hold on Like a fool I will wait for you In the park, In the dark Like I did that June Incandescent Moon Incandescent Moon Incandescent Moon Though you're gone I still miss you
