I've been wondering why I'm a target
Sure with my morals I've been lethargic
But I've seen worse men crawling in the dark
and God's PR tells me I gotta play the part
All these possessions I have are forsaken
Repo men come and I can't be woken
Up, it's luck, I'm not already dead
But they're coming back for my head
I've been dreaming about all the different things I wanna do
Can't get nothing done when I hang around with you
I've been worried about my soul retribution
Who's gonna be there at my execution
You dressed up and got a front row seat
God help us all if I get a chance to speak
I'm working on an invention
To get me out of heaven's detention
So stop selling me because I'm not a buyer
After all this, no one's gonna call me a liar
I've been dreaming about all the different things I wanna do
Can't get nothing done when i hang around with you
You're the last true soul
In a bath of snakes
Chasing the past
And always too late
It's steel against concrete
My last words on repeat
So maybe I could stay a while
Maybe I'm just in denial
Maybe I could settle down
Maybe I could stick around and it might just change
I've spent my life fighting with fate
Wasting away on pointless dedications
There's a chance that I
There's a chance that I
won't leave with haste
Baby I know I've been acting strange
Just flip a switch inside this
Uncooperative Brain
I've got a promise that I
I've got a promise that I
won't ever be the same
I threw away my prescription
Now I can't tell fact from fiction
But I like it better this way anyway
there's no script for what I'm about to say
Before now I was boxed in a corner
Weighed down by the men on my shoulder
But take that scorn out of your eye
I'm freer now that I'm not afraid to die

Hey coach, give me some playing time
What good am I? Training
Just for standing in line
Don't you know I can put 'em away?
Don't you know I can sit 'em down?
She's in the stands tonight
And I gotta make her proud
She's got a face like silence
A gaze that transcends
What it means to be a man, these day
You waste a good ol' time
Wondering if these walls have seen something better
Waiting for Time to throw you back to the pitcher
Oh, but ain't it a bitch?
When you see the final score
And the cheerleaders don't ask for more
They leave as soon as the last call comes, they leave as soon as the last call comes
And the players follow them
With tumors in their eyes
And I can feel the current
When I stand upon the mound
And though she's never on the field
She's always on the highlight reel
Never just a face in the crowd
Hey coach, let me paint the black
So what if I, always hate keeping track of
What I've said or done
You hang around till it's no more fun, you hang around till it's no more fun
Whether you've lost or won
You're headed home, you're headed home
Whether you've lost or won
And I can feel the current
When I stand upon the mound
And though she's never on the field
She's always on the highlight reel
Never just a face in the crowd
You waste a good ol' time
Wondering if these walls have seen something better
Waiting for Time to throw you back to the pitcher
Oh, but ain't it a bitch?
When you see the final score
And the cheerleaders don't ask for more
They leave as soon as the last call comes, they leave as soon as the last call comes
And the players follow them
With tumors in their eyes
I never thought I'd be one of them
I never thought I'd be one of them
I never thought I'd be one of them
Oh, I never thought
I'd be one of them
Hey coach, let me throw the heat!
'Cos it's the, only thing
That makes me feel complete
So say my name over the PA
Because I know you need me out there today
And I promise you that I'll throw ok
Throw ok
Throw ok

Welcome to Kismet Kansas,
We've got everything you need
A book store on the corner
A story without a lead
Say hello to the doorman
Leave behind the shallow stares
Finally a place where they're bold enough to care
Kismet, Kansas,
it was our destiny to meet
A land without border
and no retreat
Welcome to Kismet, Kansas,
We hope you stay a while
We've got dinner on the table
and people quick to smile
And let them know their past loves
Were somehow worth it after all
They circle around above
Waiting to descend to
Kismet, Kansas,
it was our destiny to meet
A land without borders
and no retreat
Kismet Kansas,
Heaven knows I wanna be far away
But that sky's begging me to stay
A sunny place for those who can't stop looking back
Can't stop looking back
And even those who chose, to get over it fast
Their hearts are still so cracked, still so cracked
But still, who
Knows how long this fantasy can last
A play's only good as its cast
And these cornerstones and bakeries
That make up the local scenery
Are a poor excuse for what's left of the past
So come to Kismet Kansas
Where your memories survive
Your friends are all around you
And there's no reason to hide
