You're Crashing, But You're No Wave Lyrics
Fall Out Boy
- The D.A. is dressed to the nines
- In the mirror he practices all his lines
- To his closing argument, twelve hearts beat in favor
- I’m guessing that he read the morning paper
- The headline reads “The Man Hangs," but the jury doesn’t
- And everyone’s looking for relief
- The United States versus disbelief
- Mothers cast tears on both sides of the aisle
- Clear your throat and face the world
- The verdict falls like bachelors for bad luck girls
- Only breathing with the aid of denial
- Case open, case shut
- But you could pay to close it like a casket
- Baby boy can’t lift his headache head
- Isn’t it tragic?
- He glances at his peers sitting seven to twelve
- Stacked on one to six the gallery is hushed
- Boys in three pieces dream of grandstanding and bravado
- The city sleeps in a cell notwithstanding what we all know
- Hang on a rope or bated breath
- Whichever you prefer
- And everyone’s looking for relief
- A bidding war for an old flame's grief
- The cause, the kid, the cough, the charm, and the curse
- Not a word that could make you comprehend
- Too well dressed for the witness stand
- The press prays for whichever headline's worse
- Case open, case shut
- But you could pay to close it like a casket
- Baby boy can’t lift his headache head
- Isn’t it tragic?
- Fresh pressed suit and tie
- Unimpressed birds sing and die
- Can talk my way out of anything
- The foreman reads the verdict
- “In the above entitled actions we find the defendant"
- Guilty
- Case open, case shut
- But you could pay to close it like a casket
- Baby boy can’t lift his headache head
- Isn’t it tragic?
- Case open, case shut
- But you could pay to close it like a casket
- Baby boy can’t lift his headache head
- Isn’t it tragic?
