Amanda
You’re tearing up the east coast
At well-appointed art shows
You’re just so fucking cool, hon
Amanda
Black hearted queen of Brooklyn
When your arthouse friends ain't lookin'
Come meet me
In the southern sun
And on most days
the Sunshine State's
The kind of place
I kinda hate
to even think of
But in these drunken dives
We sing along to every song
By bands
we’ve never heard of
Amanda
Your pop-punk secret’s safe with me

Drain all my blood
because it's tainted with your love
Cut out my brain
So my body feels no pain
Remove my bones
Cause I can't stand up on my own
They're cracked and worthless now
Remind me how
Easily things break
Don't take
Don't take my heart
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Don't take
Don't take my heart
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
There's not much left of me that's functioning,
so promise me, yeah
Don't take
Don't take my heart
Extract my lungs,
tear out my teeth, pull out my tongue
It's the only way
To stop the stupid things I say
And when it's done
Just leave me rotting in the sun
I'll be the carrion
That carries on
O.K. with my decay
What if I live?
What if I die?
Then maybe it's your time
Maybe the end of this is only something better
Let me keep the only piece that even matters
Don't take
Don't take my heart
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Don't take
Don't take my heart
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
There's not much left of me that's functioning,
so promise me, yeah
Don't take
Don't take my heart

I never thought that you would go
I never thought that you would stay
Damned if you do
either way
The bulbs are lightless overhead
The fridge is warm, the phone is dead
And so’s the fucking
microwave
It gets so dark when you’re gone
Come over, turn my lights on
Your love is like a generator
I’m so powerless without it
Without it
My things are in the basement now
I live down there beneath the ground
It’s where I stay
It’s [my new home]
The air is damp, it’s hard to breathe
No windows here and I can’t see
Sit on the
concrete floor alone
It gets so dark when you’re gone
Come over, turn my lights on
Your love is like an elevator
I am just so low without it
Without it
Your love is like a respirator
I can't stay alive without it
Without it
Your love is like a generator
I’m so powerless without it

I tell a lot of jokes about Jesus
Our deadbeat dad, won’t come to see us
I tell a lot of jokes about my ex-wife
I got the cat, she got the good life
It's cool (It's cool)
It's cool (It's fine)
It's fine (It's cool)
It's cool
Ba-ba-da-ba-baa-ba-da-ba-baaa
It's cool (It's cool)
It's cool (It's fine)
It's fine (It's cool)
It's cool
Ba-ba-da-ba-baa-ba-da-ba-baaa
You can call me the comedian
I tell a lot of jokes about my body
Leftover meat, decayed and rotting
I tell a lot of jokes about my dead friends
They don't get mad cause they can’t hear them
Road weary chickens are now here to stay
The other side just seems so far away
If tragedy plus time makes
The crowd smile
Then I will have them rolling
In the aisle
You’ve never laughed this fucking hard
I tell a lot of jokes
ba-ba-da-ba-baaaa
It's cool (It's cool)
It's cool (It's fine)
It's fine (It's cool)
It's cool

You
make
me
Hate myself
You’ve taken everything
And all you've ever given me is
Nothing else
When I said I wasn’t lonely
What I said,
That was a lie, that was a lie, that was a lie
When I told you, it was only
What I said
to get me by, to get me by, to get me by
But I don’t get by
I fall
Into a black hole
When I'm with you
Sinking into the blackness
All light and life collapses
I fall
into a black hole
When you’re around
The gravity is greater
You suck and I can’t escape it
You
make
me
Feel so small
Before your very eyes,
I shrink into the proper size of
Nothing at all
When I said I wasn’t lonely
What I said,
That was a lie, that was a lie, that was a lie
When I told you, it was only
What I said
to get me by, to get me by, to get me by
But I don’t get by
I fall
Into a black hole
When I'm with you
Sinking into the blackness
All light and life collapses
I fall
into a black hole
When you’re around
The gravity is greater
You suck and I can’t escape it
I fall Into a black hole When I'm with you
I fall Into a black hole When I'm with you
