Athena 03:29
The other night, there alone, familiar movies playing in my head Ares threw his axes and I watched as giants fled And I saw Zeus squaring off with an enormous savage lion I swear it mutilated half of Greece, and I ain't lyin' It happens all the time, this movie scene You know it's one of my favorite haunts 'Cause I can't give the real world what it wants Maybe buy a house or get a car or start a family or go outside Well, God only knows how hard I've tried But I'm just scared a lot, I guess I always dream big 'cause dreaming's what I do best If you've got the time Even though this battle's mine Let's plan a new line of attack And beat these demons back I fought 'em off to the shores of the river of forgetfulness And I held 'em down by setting fire to the Styx But when the smoke cleared away, a thousand more stood on the banks I guess they marched in single file to hide their ranks And I'm just scared a lot, I guess I always dream big 'cause dreaming's what I do best If you've got the time Even though this battle's mine Let's plan a new line of attack And beat these demons back If you've got the time Even though this battle's mine Let's plan a new line of attack A new line of attack A new line of attack And beat these demons back

Me and my best pal Whiskers Were watching CNN A dictator killed a million people or something And I said wouldn't it be great To have a guy like Superman To take care of evil like it was nothing He wouldn't have to be from here In fact, he probably couldn't 'Cause no one on Earth has awesome powers Whiskers looked at me like I was nuts And rolled on to his back Like he'd been doing for sixteen hours I said you don't get it, never mind How cool would it be to have some kind of Intergalactic superhero Intergalactic superhero Well, no sooner had I said those words From outside came a crash crash crash It sounded like some kind of riot And then a man with phosphorescent skin Struck a pose inside my living room I had to check that I wasn't high yet How you doin'? How you been? My name Is not important That's what he said when he burst in through my wall I come from a planet long since past Destroyed in an exploding sun And I was cruising through your orbit when I heard your call I'll handle the murder and oppression, too Now aren't you glad you've got a friend who's an Intergalactic superhero Intergalactic superhero Oh, intergalactic man, save me from this life I know you can So after you fix my wall, we can get started I'm looking forward to the badass things you'll do The superhero looked at me and said You've never really known what freedom is I gotta say I wasn't sure what he meant by that For all your life, you've been beaten down But now I'm here, I'll set you free, you can run around That's when I realized he was talking to my cat For crimes against felinity, the human race is doomed Never fear, citizens, you all shall be consumed by the Intergalactic superhero Intergalactic superhero

Stolen Home 03:14
Look at you! You've got that certain something Je ne sais quoi You walk with the confidence of a champion Et voilà You cut your teeth upon my fangs And my inaction set you free I may have molded one from you But I won't let you make a devil of me What's the phrase about the scribes of history? The air that I breathe will soon hang heavy with victory Swing for the fences 'cause I know you're in the zone Congratulations, you've stolen home Look at you! Can you even fathom the depths of the waters Après toi? Without the excuse of just following orders Ton surmoi I'm sure we've all made some mistakes And this may be another yet But on my brother's grave I swear You'll be one last body in my pile of regrets What's the phrase about the one who's without sin? Don't let that hold you back now; let the casting begin Swing for the fences 'cause I know you're in the zone Congratulations, you've stolen home "Your demented crusade ends here!" "It's too late. Everything is lost." "I know. But I prefer this over your victory." What's the phrase about applauding at the end? Parting has never tasted quite so saccharine I'm bitter and breathless as I walk this field alone 'Cause thanks to me, you've stolen home

Move out to Ohio You'll like it, we swear The weather is lovely And the skies are always bare They told me it's perfect That's a lie, I see it clear I've started regretting Ever shacking up out here The clouds on the horizon are looking mighty dark to me And I feel humidity rising I look outside my window and I see the circling storm And not much longer now You'll come smashing through my door And leave me without a chance to run This apartment isn't big enough for both of us I'll be lucky to survive The wreck that you leave behind You're the whirlwind over Cincinnati tonight The whirlwind over Cincinnati tonight The pressure is dropping You're still in the air The sirens are yelling All the streets and shops are bare There's nothing between us But electrified sky I always used to love the thunder But now I have to wonder why I see you coming closer; I'm saying my last words And hoping you can't hear me I never once expected I'd be staring down a whirlwind's eyes They don't make girls like you back home But soon you'll come smashing through my door And leave me without a chance to run This apartment isn't big enough for both of us I'll be lucky to survive The wreck that you leave behind You're the whirlwind over Cincinnati tonight The whirlwind over Cincinnati tonight There's been a few times When I thought that the world would be quieter If everyone else was dead But that isn’t something you say out loud And who knows? Maybe you're right Maybe my outlook could be a bit brighter But there's nothing to do but watch the world drown When I'm trapped under your storm cloud You told me you'd leave, you promised you'd go But there's something about you that's pleasant to know In a matter of time I'll be out there again And praying for rain just to let you come in Come on, smash right through my door And leave me without a chance to run This apartment isn't big enough for both of us I'll be lucky to survive The wreck that you leave behind You're the whirlwind over Cincinnati tonight The whirlwind over Cincinnati tonight

You sound the same, but something's changed In the way you walk You wrapped it up real nice With your unsophisticated talk I haven't got it yet When I do, you'll be the first one I tell 'Cause maybe it's how you sold Your friends and family to hell I knock on your door, I draw a breath I pray on the brightest star in the sky I hope that there's something in there left From when bravery mattered more than life I wanna know if your ancient bones Can bear the weight of a lie Sure, I'm scared But if the shot is clean, then I've got to try I knock on your door, I draw a breath I pray on the brightest star in the sky I hope that there's something in there left From when bravery mattered more than life When bravery mattered When bravery mattered more than life When bravery mattered When bravery mattered more than life You broke my heart, I'll shatter yours You're already dead down at your core It's country and queen And I'm caught in between I should've seen it coming When you got tired of running, yeah You nock up your bow, you draw a string You prey on the brightest star in the sky It's obvious now there's not a thing From when bravery mattered more than life When bravery mattered When bravery mattered more than life When bravery mattered When bravery mattered more than life When bravery mattered

So you want to be in a rock band You and what army? 'Cause there's millions of kids who want all that and more You want to shout it from the rooftops? That's adorable 'Cause there's no way in hell that you'll make it off the first floor You wanna be a concept band so your fan will remember you But you're not good enough to write like Coheed and Cambria So give up! You'll never make it out there anyway Just give up! Wishing on a star won't make it true Give up! Stars are just big balls of gas The universe will let them pass And buddy, I got news for you Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're a star But you still wanna chase rainbows Well, give it your best shot You know you ain't got a chance 'cause this city'll eat you alive You think you're better than all that? That's impossible 'Cause even your idols always gotta fight to survive Why don't you imitate John Cage for a while? His kind of music really seems more your style Give up! You'll never make it out there anyway Just give up! Wishing on a star won't make it true Give up! Stars are just big balls of gas The universe will let them pass And buddy, I got news for you Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're a star Whoa oh oh, you're a star

With the waves that crash inside my ear And the way the water flows Can you feel it in the air, my dear? In the meteoric glow While the blood runs through our veins We bathe in the light and rain As we stand on shores of pearl white sand Underneath an emerald sun You take me by my shaking hand And say "the battle's just begun" And the blood runs through our veins And we run from the light and rain Through the fire, through the heat and the wind and the shade We will find it, the world that they have made We fought for them They'll fight for us He'll make me proud, my son The sky's ablaze It's coming down in flames But we'll remain We will remain The dream has died but we stand tall There's a universe to sail And the waves are gone; there's nothing left at all, at all But the blood still rushes through our veins We draw a curtain on the light and rain And through all the fire Through all the wind and beyond all the shade We will find it

You're rocking out on plastic drums She wants you To shut up and stop banging I don't know where your mind went when she said it That's not really a euphemism That's not really the point Point is she loves you And the future you planned Will be around much longer Than Halo or Rock Band So put down the controller She wants you to hold her And play with her tonight Play with her tonight Log out long enough to see She needs you Like a shaman needs to get nerfed I don't know if that reference is even relevant That's not really my game That's not really the point Point is she loves you And the future you planned Will be around much longer Than Warcraft or God Hand So put down the controller She wants you to hold her And play with her tonight Listen up! I'm sick of playing coy Your girlfriend doesn't end in .jpg She knows that you're a digital boy But there's no shortcut to her heart.exe Look at you with your stash of toys A magic sword and a hat that's ethereal She knows that you're a digital boy But she lives in a world that's material She'd kill all eight robot masters To save you From the clutches of Dr. Wily I don't know when he started taking hostages That's not really his style That's not really the point Point is she loves you And the future you planned Will be around much longer Than Doom or Mega Man So put down the controller She wants you to hold her And play with her tonight Play with her tonight Play with her tonight

When you're in four, the room's in three And you know you play the drums a little too heavily Well, you say we can't blame you for getting carried away But remember, there's rules in this dance and you have to obey If you're doing your best You know what you have to do Doing your best You got a hell of a lot to prove You got to do the best of someone better than you You've got a knack for shifting gears I guess some things never change even after all these years But I know you were never the type to give up so easily Why don't you take my guitar? I bet you've still got the chops Come on, surprise me If you're doing your best You know what you have to do Doing your best You got a hell of a lot to prove You got to do the best of someone better than you You're still the girl I used to know You're counting off before the band is even ready to go But I wonder if you think the same of me And if the room's in four and I'm playing three But I'm doing my best I know what I have to do Doing my best I got a hell of a lot to prove Doing my best I know what I have to do Doing my best I got a hell of a lot to prove I got to do the best of someone better than you
