We can pretend that it's not about lust We can pretend that we both give a f*#k about something else besides trying to f*#k I'll buy you some drinks and dance for a while Tell some jokes to make you smile, but it's all just a game that we play and at the end of the night it's still the same because everyone wants to get laid Everyone wants to get laid I don't want to get you wasted I just want to see you naked So let's cut to the chase Let me get you back to my place Let's cut to the chase Let me get you back to my place We can pretend that it's not about clout We can pretend that we're not here to put out to anyone that says they're someone worth caring about Buy you some drinks and dance for a while Tell some jokes to make you smile, It's all just a game that we play and at the end of the night it's still the same cause everyone Everyone wants to get laid Everyone wants to get laid Everyone wants to get laid Everyone wants to get laid I don't want to get you wasted I just want to see you naked So let's cut to the chase Let me get you back to my place Let's cut to the chase Let me get you back to my place I don't want to get you wasted I just want to see you naked So let's cut to the chase Let me get you back to my place Let's cut to the chase Let me get you back to my place

We spent all day locked away hiding from the sun With curtains drawn because we stayed out late having too much fun Bloodshot eyes and fading tans tell tales that we cannot hide Our escapades lost in a haze. No memories of the nightly escape We are the children of the night Call me up when can't stay in you gotta go out Catch a cab and rush to get in before it's gonna sell out Make new friends with the Benjamins. Serve the drinks all around Move to the floor with your hands in the air and get lost in the crowd Sing every song cause you know all the words. Yeah, you gotta be heard Dance 'til you sweat then catch a quick breath, and do it all over again We are the children of the night

Z Day 03:18
Sunday morning on the couch drinking tea and vegging out Hearing about the end of civilization from the T.V. station Cannibals have broken in and reporting turns to din Someone should call a doctor or at least send them the offer Or maybe it's too late. I think that guy just ate that guy's face Come over. I'll give you cover We'll stay up late watching sharks on Discover Come over. I'll be your lover I know we just broke up, but the world is almost over Do not panic. Let's stay inside, board up the windows, and turn out the lights Keep very quiet when they come near They gather at the first sound they hear When the coast is clear we'll leave Can't bring any bitten by the diseased They won't stay lucid long They'll turn on us and we'll be done The only sure way to escape is to remove the head or destroy the brain Come over. I'll give you cover We'll stay up late watching sharks on Discover Come over. I'll be your lover I know we just broke up, but the world is almost over Come over. I'll give you cover We'll stay up late watching sharks on Discover Come over. I'll be your lover We'll hit the Winchester and drink until it's over

Tokyo 02:49
Dear Tokyo, I woke up this morning, the walls were all gone and my car was crushed. I looked around and saw a letter on the porch addressed to you from your last love, and this is what it said: I'm sorry for the mess I made, and all the grief I caused you. I didn't want to make you cry. I didn't want to see all those people die. I just got hungry. Then my blood sugar dropped, started getting cranky and that's when I felt the pops. Dear Tokyo, I woke up this morning, the walls were all gone and my car was crushed. I looked around and saw a letter on the porch addressed to you from your last love, and this is what it said: Didn't have to send in all those tanks. I would have said goodbye and given my thanks for all the time we had. I just needed to hear that your love was gone and replaced with fear. Could have been less melodramatic, but when you pull out your guns they're set to automatic. Started seeing red and breathing fire. I kind of lost my head, (and) got caught up in desire. But those days have past and you don't have to worry. I joined a twelve step program that helps control my fury. I love you, Godzilla Dear Tokyo, I woke up this morning, the walls were all gone and my car was crushed. I looked around and saw a letter on the porch addressed to you from your last love, and this is what it said: Roar
