if there’s a way out of here
 show me where to sign up She scanned the room like she was picking me from a lineup I remember when it all went south 
I knew I’d had enough She’d put her head on my shoulder 
on those school nights Ninety-five and more Til we saw the flash of blue lights She’d push me til the thrill died down Til she caught another buzz She knew me when she found me
 but something froze 
it’s like she lost the scent 
under her own nose You could measure her affection in kilograms the last day I gave a damn Can anyone really say where Addiction begins? Some days it’s hard to tell Your blessings from your sins Nobody ever thinks they’re the bad guy
 well, most of us, anyway As time went by she’d say the idea was all mine
 But once the money started flowing no one seemed to mind And it’s funny how quick a man can get used to almost anything She knew me when she found me 
but something froze 
it’s like she lost the scent
 under her own nose You could measure her affection in kilograms the last day I gave a damn Stop asking how you got this way All the little lies you tell your self each and every day Gets a little easier all the time what seemed like a little lapse is now a war crime We had a pretty good scanner But short attention spans You could drive a truck through All our best-laid plans But most the time we hit our targets No complications And when it all blew up
I lost her in the smoke They say she got out clean Like it was all some kind of joke But I knew she would’ve taken it As far as she could go She knew me when she found me 
but something froze 
it’s like she lost the scent
 under her own nose You could measure her affection in kilograms the last day I gave a damn

I heard the howling dogs Call your name I heard the howling dogs Call your name And that is all that I've called to say Cause baby that's all I know I guess it might have been Only a dream I guess it might should try To see what it means But baby I already know

v1: Another school shooting a couple days ago It's almost out of my mind, and that's what scares me most I know a middle-school girl, she just wanted to go home But I'll never know the teenage ghost v2: I know you think you're brave, just a good guy with a gun And part of me understands why you think you're having fun Believe me, I sympathize, we all come undone But no one thinks they're gonna be the one ch: They say a pretty voice, it ain't easy to believe We all need to speak some truth and I guess I starts with me I've had enough of thoughts & prayers Let's toss the guns to the bottom of the sea v3: You say "faith over fear," but you got me at a loss You're holding on to what you got, no matter what the cost All us Christians seem so frightened as we hold our guns aloft I think we fail to see the meaning of the cross ch: They say a pretty voice, it ain't easy to believe We all need to speak some truth and I guess I starts with me I've had enough of thoughts & prayers Let's toss the guns to the bottom of the sea br: Other countries got it figured out I reckon that we're much too proud You may not like the sound, but we gotta change the scene ------- Is anyone else feeling numb? No one likes what we've become We could fix it, but we're just too dumb or just too f***ing mean ch: They say a pretty voice, it ain't easy to believe We all need to speak some truth and I guess I starts with me I've had enough of thoughts & prayers Let's toss the guns ch: They say a pretty voice, it ain't easy to believe We all need to speak some truth and I guess I starts with me I've had enough of thoughts & prayers Let's toss the guns 'Cause this ain't goin' anywhere 'til we melt the guns I've had enough of thoughts & prayers Let's toss the guns to the bottom of the sea

Set to be some changes 'round Ain't no sense in foolish goings on I'll say it here and now Enough's enough, foot comes down Just out of hand, Ain't gonna say it twice Ain't gonna say it twice You shan't play boyfriend with that neighbor 'no more Facing Highway 51 What starts with bobby socks, a twist and a shout Turns into speedway cars and rousting about - No, No I don't care what your Mom allows Or what Baby Lee says down in Tupelo That's just some party line Set to be some changes 'round Ain't no sense in foolish goings on I done' said it twice You shan't play boyfriend with that neighbor 'no more Out on facing Highway 51 What one was matinees, Annette and her friends Now is the Memphian at 4 A.M. - No, No You shan't play boyfriend with that neighbor 'no more What once was Highway 51 Long gone are snow-peaked Alps and Do-Re-Me Now joy riding on the Lisa Marie You shan't play boyfriend with that neighbor 'no more They've renamed Southbound 51 Once was early rise and early to bed Now popping whites with Lamar, Billy, and Red Once one was matinees, Annette and her friends Now the Memphian at 4 A.M. My baby girl's become a lass on her own A Little Queenie with an eye on the throne
