He's on halo 8
He only has enough for seven days
Until Sabbath day he falls from grace
Living in fear of the wise
I don't need no righteous telling me I'm wrong
I don't need no fancy car to get me far
I don't need no brawny arms to make me strong
I don't need it, I’ll be perfectly flawed
She's on outfit 8
Getting ready for her handsome date
But can't remember the last thing she ate
And it devours from inside
I don't need a body just to turn you on
I don't need your hands to catch me when I fall
I don't need to be hardcore to set it off
I don't need it, I’ll be perfectly flawed
What I really need is you to see me
What I really need is you to hear me
We're on halo 8
Giving back something we did not take
What a sickening and "depraved" state
Did you even hear me say
That I don't need no righteous telling me I'm wrong
I don't need no fancy car to get me far
I don't need no brawny arms to make me strong
I just don't need it, I’ll be perfectly flawed
And I don't need ovations to feel like I belong
I don't need a voice so I can sing a song
I don't need that light to last all night long
I don't need it, I’ll be perfectly flawed
When will I ever be enough
When will I ever be enough for you

Jimmie had a revelation
Down the barrel of a plastic gun
He said, “It’s time that we got real,
So baby, don’t show me those tears.”
“I don’t need a consultation
With no discount insurance plan.
Why should I pay to tell my tale cause friends, they don’t listen too well?”
“The barrel of my real gun
Will meet the barrel of their plastic guns.
The barrel of my real gun
Will meet the barrel of their plastic guns.”
Jimmie doesn’t know of closets
He doesn’t tell a lot of lies
But Jimmie knows a lot of dancing
Jimmie knows a lot about crime
Got into a confrontation
Taking blows from Adonis clones
Armed with a stolen gun from the drama club
They all humbly changed attire
(Jimmie, Jimmie get the gun)
They say you’re not right
Jimmie get the gun and prove them wrong
You’ve got the right to bear arms
You’ve got the right to bare it all
Gonna make a grown man cry
Make him pick up the dress and put it on
The barrel of a real gun
Will meet the barrel of a plastic gun
Jimmie had a revelation
It sent a shudder down his spine,
“If plastic guns can make tough boys wear dresses
What else can fear decide?”
(Jimmie get the gun)
(Repeat Chorus)

Leo & The Nightcrawlers

I’m leaving the light on
Cause I still believe
I could tie you down with your mother’s apron strings
So tell me now
What do you believe
The monsters in your head
Or you and me
Porch light is turned on
Pretty little things like you
Should not be out all night long
Playing with the nightcrawlers
It’s time you come home
Pretty little things like you
Leo the light is on
Pretty things like you
Should not speak of the world’s woes
Pretty things like you
(Leo come out now)
Leo Leo
It’s midnight and the light is on
(Leo come out now)
Leo Leo
It’s midnight and the light is on

One More Spell

Oooo What flies in the night
The sky has stolen my midnight light
You have announced your plans
To abandon your pagan land
I could just flee to the night
Wouldn’t that be so simple
I could let you run my life
Or I could do one more spell
Well I could do a lot of things
I know you’re looking down on me
I can see your angel wings
Now they’re taking you away from me
We had a marriage of thumbs
Bonded by our warm blood
But something had changed
You desired not life but fame
I’m feeling so old I am done
For I have been loved and I’ve loved
I’m watching your gaze as it wanes
All that I can do is one more spell
(Repeat Chorus)
I’ll send you somewhere
Where not anyone or any man
Will know you well
Some lifetime somewhere
Where not anyone or any man will know you
As well as I did

It's Not Wasted

Climb up on my shoulders
And you will always be there
Arms up in the air
We are still flying away
Take my hand and dance with me
And you’re holding it still
You are the gloves
I will take with me to the North
Don’t worry baby
All the time that we spent
It’s not wasted
It’s not wasted
Don’t worry baby
All the dreams that we’ve had
It’s not wasted
It’s not wasted
Kiss my lips once more
And you will always be loved
When you are shunned
And feeling not worthy of a touch
Take with you my shoulders,
My hands, and a piece of my heart
Wherever you go
But don’t you waste it
Please don’t waste it
Don’t worry baby
All the blood and the pain
It’s not wasted
It’s not wasted
Don’t worry baby
All the things we can’t change
It’s not wasted
It’s not wasted
I stepped in this circle on my own
And I don’t believe I’ll be leaving here alone
No
Don’t worry baby
All the tears that we shed
It’s not wasted
It’s not wasted
Don’t worry baby
All the secrets we share
It’s not wasted
It’s not wasted
No need to worry
All the laughter and prayers
It’s not wasted
It’s not wasted
Even though I may never see you again
You’re not wasted
You’re not wasted
You can go
