When they finally come to destroy the earth
they'll have to go through you first
I bet they won't be expecting that

When they finally come to destroy the earth
they'll have to deal with you first
and now my money says they won't know about the

thousand fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes

[Chorus]
Invincible (invincible)
Oh Oh Oh
Your Invincible (invincible)
Oh Oh
Invincible (invincible)
Oh Oh Oh
Your Invincible(invincible)

That crushin, crashing, atom-smashing, white-hot thing...
Invincible.

When they finally come, what'll you do to them?
Gonna decimate them like you did to me?
Will you leave them stunned and stuttering?

When they finally come, how will you handle them?
Will you devastate them deliberately?
'Cause I'm gonna guess they won't be prepared for
thousand fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes

[Chorus]
Invincible (invincible)
Oh Oh Oh
Your Invincible (invincible)
Oh Oh
Invincible (invincible)
Oh Oh Oh
Your Invincible(invincible)

That crushing, crashing, atom-smashing, white-hot thing...
It's invincible

So please use your powers for good.
So please use your powers for good.

You're invincible.

[Chorus]
Invincible (invincible)
Oh Oh Oh
Your Invincible (invincible)
Oh Oh
Invincible (invincible)
Oh Oh Oh
Your Invincible(invincible)

So, you were born in an electrical storm
took a bite out the sun
saw your future in a machine built for two
now your rays, make me kind of go crazy
shocked and awe and amaze me
just a ticker tape parade and me
but something was wrong
till you tap danced on the air in the night
screaming at the top of your lungs, you said
Come on, come on
Do what you want
What could go wrong?
Oh come on come on come on, come on, do what you want
Oh come on come on
What could go wrong? Do do do do what you want
Come on

Me, I was raised amin the trickle down days
I woke up numb in the haze
and saw my future in a machine built for two
but the light gave me some kind of fright
how did wrong get so right
and lead me stumbling through the dark of night,
Oh, something was wrong
but you tap danced on the air in the night
screaming at the top of your lungs, you said
Come on, come on
Do what you want
What could go wrong?
Oh come on come on come on, come on, do what you want
Oh come on come on
What could go wrong? Do do do do what you want
Come on
D-d-d-do what you want!
D-d-d-do what you want!
Hey!
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon... (repeats continuously)
D-d-d-do what you want, yeah!
D-d-d-do what you want, yeah!
Do what you want!
Do what you want!
Do what you want!
D-do what you want!
D-do what you want!
D-do what you want!
D-do what you want!
D-c'mon!
C'mon!
C'mon!
C'mon!
C'mon!
D-d-d-d-d-d-d-do what you want!
..
Yeah!

It could be ten but then again I can't remember half an hour since a quarter to four
Throw on your clothes the second side of Surfer Rosa and you leave me with my jaw on the floor

Hey!!

Just when you think you're in control
Just when you think you've got a hold
Just when you get on a roll

Oh here it goes here it goes here it goes again
Oh here it goes again
I should have known should have known should have known again
But here it goes again, oh here it goes again

It starts out easy something simple something sleazy something inching past the edge of the reserve
Now through lines of the cheap venetian blinds your car is pulling off of the curb

Hey!!

Just when you think you're in control
Just when you think you've got a hold
Just when you get on a roll

Oh here it goes here it goes here it goes again
Oh here it goes again
I should have known should have known should have known again
But here it goes again

Oh here it goes, oh here it goes, oh here it goes again

Oh, oh here it goes again

I guess there's got to be a break in the monotony but Jesus when it rains how it pours
Throw on your clothes the second side of Surfer Rosa and you leave me... yeah you leave me

Oh here it goes here it goes here it goes again
Oh here it goes again
I should have known should have known should have known again
But here it goes again

Oh here it goes... oh here it goes
Oh, here it goes again
I should have known I should have known
But here it goes again

Oh here it, oh here it, oh here it...
I should have, I should have, I should have...
Oh here it goes again

Oh lately it's so quiet in this place
You're not 'round every corner
(oh no) Oh lately it's so quiet in this place
So darlin' if your not here haunting me
Im wondering...

Whose house, are you haunting tonight?
Aw. Whose sheets you twist
Aw. Whose face you kiss
Whose house, are you haunting tonight?

I dont think much about you anymore
You're not on every whisper, oh
(oh no) I dont think much about you
But if you're not lurking behind every curtain
Im wondering...

Whose house, are you haunting tonight?
Aw. Whose name you hiss
Aw. Whose clenching fists
Whose house, are you haunting tonight?

Now Whose house, are you haunting tonight?
Aw. Who cant resist
Aw. Whose cryin'
Whose house, are you haunting tonight?
Aw. Whose name you hiss
Aw. Whose sheets you twist
Whose house, are you haunting tonight?

Crash and burn, crash and burn, crash and burn (crash and burn)
Patience is the hallmark of the old and the infirm
Lived and learned, lived and learned, lived and learned
Out lived theer lust and traded want in for concern
Singing that's all right
Yeah that's all right
Aw that's all right

So come on down, come on down, come on down (come on down)
Get out our pestilence and vice and pass them around
And blow this town blow this town blow this town
Jump off this ship before the shit just runs aground
Singin' that's all right
Aw that's all right
Aw that's all right

It's a disaster
It's an incredible mess
But it's all we've got now
Yeah it's all we got
Howling with laughter, panic
alarm, and distress
But it's all we've got now
Yeah it's all we got

Head or tails, heads or tails, heads or tails (heads or tails)
Are you dumb enough to break the mold
or smart enough to fail?
Oh happy trails happy trails oh happy trails
Can't beat a little bit of envy in your sails.

Singing that's all right
Yeah that's all right
Oh that's all right

But it's a disaster
It's an incredible mess
But it's all we've got now
Yeah it's all we got
Howling with laughter, panic, alarm, and distress
But it's all we've got now
Yeah it's all we got

sit back, matter of fact
teasing, toying, turning, chatting, charming
hissing, playin the crowd

play that song again
another couple klonapin, a nod, a glance, a half-hearted bow

oh such grace
oh such beauty
and lipstick and callous
and fishnets and malice
oh darlin'

you're a million ways to be cruel
(one zero zero zero zero zero zero cruel)
you're a million ways to be cruel
(one zero zero zero zero zero zero cruel)
you're a million ways to be cruel

i should, i wish i could, maybe if you were i would
a list of standard issue regrets
one last eighty proof, slouchin' in the corner booth
baby, it's as good as it gets

oh such grace
oh such beauty
so precious, suspicious, and charming and vicious
oh darlin'
you're a million ways
oh darlin'

you're a million ways to be cruel
(one zero zero zero zero zero zero cruel)
you're a million ways to be cruel
(one zero zero zero zero zero zero cruel)

you're a million ways to be cruel
(one zero zero zero zero zero zero cruel)

oh darlin' you're a million ways to be cruel.

J's locked out on the fire escape
Sarah's still down on the bench at the Circle K
crying and crying all day
Everybody's best attemps didn't do no good

No sign of life
But I got a hunch
It's not over yet

Kate broke down on Division Street
Air so wet you can hear your heart beat
and beat and beat and beat
Oh, I swaer I gave it my best shot
what else could I do?

No sign of life
But I got a hunch
It's not over yet

J's locked out on the fire escape
Sarah's still down on the bench at the Circle K
crying and crying all day
Everybody's best attemps didn't do no good

No sign of life
But I got a hunch
It's not over yet
It's not over yet
It's not over yet...

Super automatic pilot motor running down circles in the parking lot
Self-sustaining system bit her in the neck and quick and kissed her and took all she got
Did you come here to dance?
Whats in your glass?
Do you feel better?

Let it rain, Let it pour
Let it rain, Let it pour
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Let it rain, Let it pour

Cruise-control distressed, her kind of cursed and kind of blessed her, engine running on the fume
Vision blue and blurry, falling angels in a flurry, spinning thru the empty room
Did you come here to dance?
Whats in your glass?
Do you feel better now?

Let it rain, Let it pour
Let it rain, Let it pour
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Let it rain, Let it pour

Super automatic pilot motor running down circles in the parking lot
Self-sustaining system bit her in the neck and quick and kissed her and took all she got

Let it rain (Hallelujah), Let it pour
Let it rain (Hallelujah), Let it pour
Let it pour (Hallelujah)
Let it pour (Hallelujah)
Let it pour

You're not the prettiest girl in town,
and I'm not the only boy
with sullie clothes and a sullen frown,
so to hell with Valentine's,
to hell with perfume,
to hell with chocolates
and picnics
and Sinatra tunes.

'Cause while the rest of the girls
are drowning in roses
and songs he composes,
and while the rest of the guys
are all trying so hard,
oh girl, let's crash the party.
El Dorado on the lawn (hey hey hey!).
Let's burn holes in the carpets,
kicking, shouting, dancing,
on the tables all night long.

I'm not so good with sublety.
You wouldn't say that I'm the
picture of urbanity.
Never put much stock in suavity
or courtesy or chivalry or gallantry
or all that useless jewelry.

But while the rest of the girls
still sigh for the night
he was smiling politely,
and while the rest of the guys
are all trying so hard,
oh girl, let's crash the party.
El Dorado on the lawn (hey hey hey!).
Let's burn holes in the carpets,
kicking, shouting, dancing
on the tables all night long.
All night long.

Look at the hottie in the tight jeans,
look at the pipe dreams,
look at the fat man burst at the seams.
Look at the captain with the galaxy right off his balcony.
Look at the science and the alchemy.
Look at the sirens on the cop cars,
look at the pop stars,
look at the convicts filing the bars.
Look at the wife,
look at the knife,
look at the pom-pom prom queen
scream and scream and run for her life.

It's always right,
the perfect light in the dark of night.
Give up the world,
give up your life,
'cause you cannot fight the television.
Television, television.

Look at them trying to get the flag higher,
look at the quagmire,
look at the tread separate from the tire.
Look at the junky trying to get a gram,
look at the betting man,
look at him folding on the better hand.

It's always right,
the fearless light in the dark of night.
Give up the world,
give up your life,
'cause you cannot fight the television.
Television, television.

Look at me hypnotized and half alive,
maybe it's four or five,
some parts are sleeping,
some parts are paralyzed.
Just one more minute...
just one more minute...
I think I'm almost in it.

Television, television.
Give me tits and politicians.
Give me death and demolition.
Give me glamour and sedition.
Television.

Having spent your entire life
Exactly where you are tonight
In the valley between intent and deed,
You must have mastered this,
The fragile art of a good excuse,
The little things that get you to believe.
That get you to believe.
So listen, I'm not trying to prove
Anything at all here,
But don't you think that maybe,
This time, you were wrong?
You've spent your entire life
Quick-tongued and always right.
Hasn't being right just let you down?
Right just lets you down.
So listen, I'm not trying to say
Anything at all here.
There isn't much let, anyway,
That hasn't been said.
But don't you think that possibly,
This time, it's different?
Don't you think that maybe,
This time, you were wrong?

Fingers blistered from the nightly
scratching at the window
which won't open
far enough to let air in.

The house wins.
Oh, the house always wins.

Feral cats are screaming
at the clouds beneath the window
with the crack so small
that nothing gets within.

The house wins.
Oh, the house always wins.

You don't have to be alone
To be lonely,
You might as well give in.

Telephones are howling
at the cats out in the alley
and the window offers
nothing in the din.

The house wins.
Oh, the house always wins.

Clouds uncage the car alarms
to chase the cats and telephones.
Fingers rake and rasp
away their skin.

The house wins.
Oh, the house always wins.

You don't have to be alone
to be lonely,
You might as well give in.

Yeah, you don't have to be alone
to be lonely;
You might as well give in.

Ice age upon catastrophic
ice age of selection,
and only one result
has trickled in:

The house wins.
Oh, the house always wins.

If evil were a lesser breed
than justice, after all these years
the righteous would have
freed the world of sin.

The house wins.
Oh, the house always wins.

You don't have to be alone
to be lonely,
You might as well give in.

You don't have to be alone
to be lonely,
You might as well give in.

You don't have to be sick
to be dying;
You might as well give in.

You don't have to be lost
to be lost.
Oh, give in.

You don't have to be alone
to be lonely;
You might as well give in.
