Looks like a good night for a love affair 
Looks like a good night for revenge 
I had a little too much fun with destruction 
I'm giving it up And building something out of all this stuff i hear in my head 
Looks like a good night to start over 
Looks like a good night for a dance
 Shake it break it down in the club or the shower
 Move it use it lose it even if you don't think you can I went to hell just like she told me to so many times 
I think she wanted me back dead but I returned alive 
I went to bed and woke up new like I had traded minds
 My inner demon child is free and wants to be with you tonight
 My inner demon child is free and wants to be with you tonight Looks like a good night for a rebirth 
Looks like a good night for romance
 I've been chasing down distractions 
I'm soaking them up Bathing my bloodlust airborne pheromones, I'm making it work
 Yeah
 Looks like a good night to get closer
 Looks like a good night for a chance 
Express expose undress with a friend or a stranger 
Live it love it crush it like you never have before or will again I stayed awake all night until the sky came back again 
I thought my spirit died a while ago
 But I got bit more left
 She dug my grave, kissed me goodbye, and then she pushed me in
 My inner demon child is wide awake and back from the dead
 My inner demon child is free and wants to be with you
 tonight I got over
 I survived, and I'm back in control
 Yeah tonight, I got over
 I survived, I survived, yeah

The humidity's got your hair sticking up 
Tattooed women walking dogs got you falling in love 
You can't take your morning coffee intravenously
 So you drink it through a straw 
With sugar and cream
 Call in sick to work but you're just sick of your boss
 Always making you stay late
 Never giving you days off
 You might make some money but still feel incomplete
 Sometimes you gotta say fuck it, we're going to the beach Yeah, we're all chasing
 Or running away from something or someone
 Yeah, we can taste it
 The heat of the pavement, the fire of summer 
Black out and wake up
 A fail-safe key to a pull-start heart 
We can be better, faster, stronger machines
 We could still fall apart The ultraviolet rays are creeping under your skin
 Paid your rent, paid your dues 
Still paying for your sins
 Your window AC unit lost its will to live 
You just wanna go out
 You don't wanna stay in
 Find your place and hope that you get better with age
 Some people grow up 
Some people don't change
 Try to game the system while you're punching the clock 
If you take what you need
 You might get what you want Blood orange sunset 
Left-handed cigarettes
 Tank-top shoulder blades
 Cell phone communiqué´
 T-shirt tan lines 
Beer cans, box of wine
 Construction cone car rides 
Gas station bags of ice
 Hip-hop bass drops
 Windows down all the way
 Sirens, fireworks
 Just another Saturday

She said
"Boy you better work on your moves 
If you're gonna keep up,
Gonna keep up with me 
Cuz a man who doesn't think he can dance 
Is probably afraid of
 A whole lot of things Come on, show me what you're made of" You hear the snake rattle rhythm? 
Forget what you know
 Tonight we shake it like the devil's lost his self-control
 Burn your old battle hymnal
 I make up the rules as I go 
Oh oh oh I said
 "Girl, my god you're looking so fine Your dress and your hair,
Your lips and your eyes"
 Yeah, that would have been pretty slick, right?
 I just said 
"Oh hey, hi. How's it going tonight?"
 I wanna show her what I'm made of You hear the snake rattle rhythm?
 Forget what you know
 Tonight we shake it like the devil's lost his self-control
 Burn your old battle hymnal
 I make up all the rules as I go 
Oh oh oh She likes it real loud and real close 
She knows what she wants
 And that's how she rolls 
So come on right now
 Don't lose the moment
 The worst she could say is no I wanna show her what I'm made of 
Gonna find out what I'm really made of You hear the snake rattle rhythm?
 Forget what you know
 Tonight we shake it like the devil's lost his self-control
 Burn your old battle hymnal
 I make up all the rules as I go
 Oh oh oh We hear the snake rattle rhythm 
Forget what we know
 Tonight we shake it like the devil's lost it, lost it Burn our old battle hymnals
 We'll make up all the rules as we go
 Oh oh oh We like it real loud
 And real close
 We know what we want 
And that's how we roll
 So come on right now
 We got the moment
 We're not gonna let it go

I made a wish but it faded away 
I'm hit-or-miss and that's a risk I'll take any day
 I took a long walk
 Sat at the edge and
 Dangled my legs, dipped my feet into oblivion and sang: 
"I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay ,
I'll escape, I'll escape" I feel the wind shifting, slipping out of my reach Why don't you fight like an optimist
 Why don't you change 
Instead of just saying you will
 Why don't you stand up for anything 
Why don't you move instead of standing still
 Why don't you move instead of standing still I made a list of everything I could change 
I scratched it out and tore it up, started on a new page 
I blew a kiss, then 
I touched my lip and 
I tasted blood, oh hey, I got a fist in the face 
I'm okay, i'm okay, I'm okay 
I'll escape, I'll escape Where are you going 
I don't know, I never do
 Where are you going
 I don't care
 I don't care, I won't stop

Baby I'm a fast song
 Don't try to slow me down, I'm not a ballad or a lullaby
 The fire doesn't last long
 The heat's leaving the moment, now it's going, gone, goodbye Rebuild the old engine with new parts 
If you want a better monster, then you need a stronger heart Oh, baby I don't wanna live forever 
I don't wanna stick around
' Til you're sick of how I sound
 Oh, oh, oh, gotta keep my head together 
Push and pull 
I don't know how to go slow
 Baby I'm a fast song Baby I'm a subway train 
I don't stop unless I break down 
Just another bad machine 
Found my will, found another way out 
My tempo's always speeding up 
This song still isn't fast enough 
I need to outrun everything, and everyone, every day
 I'm never done Oh, baby I don't wanna live forever
 I don't wanna stick around
 'Til you're sick of how I sound
 Oh, oh, oh, gotta keep my head together
 Push and pull
 I don't know how to go slow
 Baby I'm a fast song Rebuild the old engine with new parts
 If you want a better monster, then you need a stronger heart Oh, baby I don't wanna live forever
 I don't wanna stick around
 'Til you're sick of how I sound
 Oh, oh, oh, gotta keep my head together
 Push and pull
 I don't know how to go slow Baby I'm a fast song 
I'm a fast song 
I was electric in the moment, now I'm gone Baby I'm a fast song 
I'm a fast song 
I was electric in the moment, now I'm gone

Invisible, miserable
 Submerged and numb 
I've been craving love and color
 But I can't get enough I wanna be misunderstood
 Unless you want to understand me
 I wanna be a mystery 
If you can crack it, you might have me If I rise, and you rise 
Will we converge, will we collide 
If we meet on the street tonight
 Will my chemistry and your chemistry combine 
If I rise and you rise
 Will you meet me in the air
 Just to shoot me out of the sky 
If I rise Irrelevant skeletons 
Closet's overflowing with bones
 My character's developing
 My storyline is riddled with holes I wanna be your secret door 
Hiding out in plain sight
 I wanna be an encrypted code 
I wanna be the one that you get right I wanna be your, I wanna be your mystery 
I wanna be your, I wanna be your everything

Plug me in turn me on
 Light me up set me off 
I'm finished living in your world 
I'm getting out now
I'm starting my own 
I burned all the rules 
Don't need permission from you 
I've been working on a real love
 I thought I would try something new It feels like my heart is on fire
 Electric, I'm a live wire Cut me loose let me go 
Lose my grip on control 
That drum in my head
 Is the one beat I'm still following
 When too much is never enough
 And I just don't give a fuck 
I'm standing at the bottom
 And the only way out is love I'm alive

I remember when I used to live fast, die young
 But I made it through my youth alive
 Now I'm older and I'm feeling like I'm losing all my meaning 
All I'm ever really losing is time I know it's gonna be all right 
I know it's gonna be all right We're going to a rooftop party
 It's at a friend's of a friend's but they don't mind 
We're going to a rooftop party
 Tonight's all right and it's all mine 
You're goddamn right I'm going out 
I spend way too much time by myself
 It's the summer in the city, I don't wanna waste a minute
 Baby say you'll hang out with me 
It's the summer in the city, I don't wanna waste a minute 
Baby say you'll hang out with me I got my heart reconfigured, rewired, recharged
 You learn to push the pain aside
 Even a beat-up tambourine with battle scars and missing teeth 
Can take a dying beat and shake it back to life The lights in the city sky
 The life of a summer night 
It's all I need to know 
To know I'm not alone

18 years of idle feet
 Running around this town
 Five stoplights and no good times 
All we wanna get is out I chased my tail for long enough 
If you wanna know the truth
 The only good thing that happens after midnight is you We got a kind of love 
It seems so wrong but feels so right
 So let's fire it up 
Drive into that morning light
 We're finally gonna leave this town behind Can you feel the summer ending
 We're running out of time to waste 
Every day we stay is another chance we didn't take I keep running out of breath
 I should be running down my dreams
 I don't care just where we land
 You're all I'll ever need Let's leave tonight There's no more room for patience 
We're out of time for waiting
 Got some money I've been saving 
We'll be all right
 Baby take my hand and don't look back 
Said baby take my hand and don't look back Let's leave tonight 
No sleep tonight

I've been searching for the right kind of rhythm
 Messing up my own words 
I wanna open up a new conversation
 Cast a smooth-operating curse I've been digging a deep ditch
 Cold and comfortable 
I wanna disconnect from my head, find the right kind of letting go
 Letting go Insanity, temporarily 
If it takes a turn, I'll take the worst of me
 Oh, I only need what I need I've been hurting for the wrong kind of loving
 Red alarm and I shoot first 
I wanna close down the old aggravation
 But I can't stop a stampeding herd 
I've been climbing a steep hill
 It's not impossible 
I don't mean no disrespect to my dread, but it ain't the sign I'm waiting for

I've been driving all night
 Chasing sunrises
 My heart's been dark a long time 
But now it's time for new light 
But now it's time for new light I got a kind of love that's strange to contemplate 
The language of my heart isn't easy to translate 
It takes a patient one
 Vending machine coffee got me through Missouri
 Running out of daylight, rising moon anxiety 
It takes a patient one I gotta leave this state of mind
 I'm making my escape I've been driving all night
 Chasing sunrises 
My heart's been dark a long time
 But now it's time for new light 
But now it's time for new light Windshield crack growing bigger every day 
Woke up alone in Oklahoma
 I just wanna see your face
 Just trying to be a patient one 
I finally caught my second wind
 The sun was coming up over a gas station in Texas 
I thought it never would 
It takes a patient one I gotta leave this state of mind 
I hope it's not too late I've been driving all night
 Chasing sunrises
 My heart's been dark a long time
 But now it's time for new light Driving all night
 Chasing sunrises
 My heart's been dark a long time
 But now it's time for new light
 I think I'm ready I gotta leave this state of mind 
I'm making my escape

Here's one for the road
 One for the void
 Taking a highway to nowhere 
Here's one for the long days, going the wrong way
 Memories you just can't avoid
 Here's one for the ones you can't destroy I'm free for the first time in a while 
Feels like I can breathe 
Relief, I stumbled my way through the miles
 I still don't know where this road leads Here's one for the kid 
Still lives in my head
 He's angry but he'll be all right
 Here's one for my teen angst 
I still love old Green Day 
All I need are three chords to survive 
Here's one for the ones you can't deny Plug me in turn me on 
I rewired my heart 
Looked at the abyss and blew it a kiss 
Had to lose my mind to find my way
 Before I could say "I'm ok, I'm ok."
 Out of sight, out-of-state plates 
Am I chasing down a sunrise or just running away?
 Maybe I'm meant to stay a mystery
 A failsafe key to a stronger machine Looks like a good night for a real love 
Looks like a good night to give in
 Looks like a good night, I set my demon child free
 I've never been more ready to begin
