01. THRILLER {Jay Z} Yeah, what you critics said would never happen We dedicate this album to anybody, people said couldn't make it To the fans that held us down till everybody came around Welcome It's here Last summer we took threes across the board But by fall we were a cover story now in stores Make us poster boys for your scene But we are not making an acceptance speech I found the safest place to keep all our old mistakes Every dot com's refreshing for a journal update So long live the car crash hearts Cry on the couch all the poets come to life Fix me in 45 (x2) I can take your problems away with a nod and a wave Of my hand, 'cause that's just the kind of boy that I am The only thing I haven't done yet is die And it's me and my plus one at the afterlife Crowds are won and lost and won again But our hearts beat for the diehards So long live the car crash hearts Cry on the couch all the poets come to life Fix me in 45 (x2) Long live the car crash hearts (Long live the car crash hearts) (x2) Long live the car crash hearts Cry on the couch all the poets come to life Fix me in 45 {Jay Z} Young F-O-B.

THE TAKE OVER, THE BREAKS OVER Baby, seasons change but people don't And I'll always be waiting in the back room I'm boring but overcompensate with Headlines and flash, flash, flash photography But don't pretend you ever forgot about me Don't pretend you ever forgot about me Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee Style your wake for fashion magazines Widow or a divorcee Don't pretend, d-d-d-don't pretend We don't fight fair We don't fight fair They say your head can be a prison Then these are just conjugal visits People will dissect us till This doesn't mean a thing anymore Don't pretend you ever forgot about me Don't pretend you ever forgot about me Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee Style your wake for fashion magazines Widow or a divorcee Don't pretend, d-d-d-don't pretend We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces We're dropped and well concealed in secret places We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces We're dropped and well concealed in secret places We don't fight fair (x5) We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces We're dropped and well concealed in secret places We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces We're dropped and well concealed in secret places We don't fight fair With smiles on our faces We're dropped and well concealed in secret places We don't fight fair Don't pretend you ever forgot about me We don't fight fair (x2) 03. THIS AIN'T A SCENE, IT'S AN ARM RACE I am an arms dealer Fitting you with weapons in the form of words And don't really care which side wins As long as the room keeps singing That's just the business I'm in This ain't a scene, it's a god damned arms race This ain't a scene, it's a god damned arms race This ain't a scene, it's a god damned arms race I'm not a shoulder to cry on But I digress I'm a leading man And the lies I weave are oh so intricate Oh so intricate (x2) I wrote the gospel on giving up (You look pretty sinking) But the real bombshells have already sunk (Prima donnas of the gutter) At night we're painting your trash gold while you sleep Crashing not like hips or cars No, more like p-p-p-parties This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race This bandwagon's full Please, catch another I'm a leading man And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, Oh so intricate (x2) All the boys who the dance floor didn't love And all the girls whose lips couldn't move fast enough Sing, until your lungs give out This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race (Now you) This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race (Wear out the groove) This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race (Sing out loud) This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race (Oh, oh) This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race I'm a leading man And the lies I weave are oh so intricate Oh so intricate (x2) 04. I'M LIKE A LAWYER WITH THE WAY I'M ALWAYS TRYING TO GET YOU OFF Last year's wishes Are this year's apologies Every last time I come home I take my last chance To burn a bridge or two I only keep myself this sick in the head Cause I know how the words get you We're the new face of failure Prettier and younger but not any better off Bullet proof loneliness At best, at best Me and you Setting in a honeymoon If I woke up next to you If I woke up next to you (x2) Collect the bad habits That you couldn't bare to keep Out of the woods but I love A tree I used to lay beneath Kissed teeth stained red From a sour bottle baby girl With eyes the size of baby worlds We're the new face of failure Prettier and younger but not any better off Bullet proof loneliness At best, at best Me and you Setting in a honeymoon If I woke up next to you If I woke up next to you (x4) The best way To make it through With hearts and wrists intact Is to realize Two out of three ain't bad Ain't bad Me and you Setting in a honeymoon If I woke up next to you If I woke up next to you Me and you (Honeymoon) Setting in a honeymoon Me and you Setting in a honeymoon If I wake up next to you If I woke up next to you Me and you Setting in a honeymoon If I wake up next to you (Honeymoon) 05. HUM HALLELUJAH It's all a game of this or that, now versus then Better off against worse for wear And you’re someone who knows someone who knows someone I once knew And I just want to be a part of this The road outside my house is paved with good intentions Hired a construction crew, 'cause it's hell on the engine And you are the dreamer and we are the dream I could write it better than you ever felt it So hum hallelujah Just off the key of reason I thought I loved you It was just how you looked in the light A teenage vow in a parking lot Till tonight do us part I sing the blues and swallow them too My words are my faith to hell with our good name A remix of your guts-your insides X-rayed And one day we'll get nostalgic for disaster we're a bull, your ears are just a china shop I love you in the same way, there's a chapel in a hospital One foot in your bedroom and one foot out the door Sometimes we take chances, sometimes we take pills I could write it better than you ever felt it So hum hallelujah Just off the key of reason I thought I loved you It was just how you looked in the light A teenage vow in a parking lot Till tonight do us part I sing the blues and swallow them too Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu Hum hallelujah (Hum hallelujah), hum hallelujah (Hum hallelujah) A teenage vow in a parking lot Till tonight do us part I sing the blues and swallow them too So hum hallelujah Just off the key of reason I thought I loved you It was just how you looked in the light A teenage vow in a parking lot (Hum hallelujah) Till tonight do us part Love in a parking lot (Hum hallelujah) Till tonight do us part A teenage vow in a parking lot Till tonight do us part I sing the blues and swallow them too 06. GOLDEN How cruel is the golden rule When the lives we lived are only golden-plated And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me Though I carried karats for everyone to see And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies And all the lovers with no time for me And all of the mothers raise their babies To stay away from me Tongues on the sockets of electric dreams Where the sewage of youth drowned the spark of my teens And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me (too heavy for me) Though I carried karats for everyone to see (everyone to see) And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies And all the lovers with no time for me And all of the mothers raise their babies To stay away from me And pray they don't grow up to be 07.

DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I THINK I AM A penny for your thoughts but a dollar for your insides Or a fortune for your disaster I'm just a painter and I'm drawing a blank We only want to sing you to sleep In your bedroom speakers, whoa We need umbrellas on the inside Get me just right They say quitters never win But we walk the plank on a sinking ship There's a world outside of my front door That gets off on being down I could learn to pity fools as I'm the worst of all And I can't stop feeling sorry for myself Whoa We only want to sing you to sleep In your bedroom speakers, whoa We need umbrellas on the inside Get us right They say quitters never win But we walk the plank on a sinking ship There's a world outside of my front door That gets off on being down They say quitters never win But we walk the plank on a sinking ship There's a world outside of my front door That gets off on being down We only want to sing you to sleep (In your bedroom speakers) We only want to sing you to sleep They say quitters never win But we walk the plank on a sinking ship There's a world outside of my front door That gets off on being down They say quitters never win But we walk the plank, and we walk the plank There's a world outside of my front door That gets off on being down Broken down on memory lane Alone together, we're alone We're broken down on memory lane Alone together, we're alone 09. THE (AFTER) LIFE OF THE PARTY I'm a stitch away from making it And a scar away from falling apart, apart Blood cells pixelate And eyes dilate And the full moon pills got me out on the street at night Cut it loose Watch you work the room (x4) Oh Put love on hold, Young Hollywood is on the other line Her nose runs ruby red, deaths in a double bed Singing songs that could only catch the ear of the desperate Cut it loose Watch you work the room (x4) I'm a stitch away from making it And a scar away from falling apart, apart Blood cells pixelate And eyes dilate Kiss away young thrills and kills on the mouths of all my friends Cut it loose Watch you work the room Loose Watch you work the room Cut it loose (Watch you work the room) I'm a stitch away 10. THE CARPAL TUNNEL OF LOVE We take sour sips from life's lush lips And we shake, shake, shake the hips in relationships Stomp out this disaster town You'll put your eyes to the sun and say I know you're only blinding to keep back what the clouds are hiding And we might've started singing just a little soon We're throwing stones at a glass moon Whoa oh, we're so miserable and stunning Whoa oh, love songs for the genuinely cunning We keep the beat with your blistered feet And we bullet the words at the mockingbirds singing Slept through the weekend and dreaming Of sinking with the melody of the cliffs of eternity Got postcards from my former selves saying how've you been We might've said goodbyes just a little soon (Stomp out this disaster town) Robbing lips, kissing banks under this moon Whoa oh, we're so miserable and stunning Whoa oh, love songs for the genuinely cunning Whoa oh, we're so miserable and stunning Whoa oh, love songs for the genuinely cunning It was ice cream headaches and sweet avalanche When the pearls in our shells got up to dance You call me a bad tipper of the cradle Tired yawns for fawns on hunter's lawns We're the has-beens of husbands Sharpening the knives of young wives Take two years and call me when you're better Take teardrops of mine, find yourself wetter Whoa oh, we're so miserable and stunning Whoa oh, love songs for the genuinely cunning Whoa oh, we're so miserable and stunning Whoa oh, love songs for the genuinely cunning 11. BANG THE DOLDRUMS I wrote a goodbye note in lipstick on your arm When you passed out I couldn't bring myself to call Except to call it quits Best friends Ex-friends till the end Better off as lovers And not the other way around Racing through the city Windows down In the back of yellow checkered cars You're wrong Are we all wrong (x2) This city says Come hell or high water Well I'm feeling hot and wet I can't commit to a thing Be it heart or hospital Best friends Ex-friends till the end Better off as lovers And not the other way around Racing through the city Windows down In the back of yellow checkered cars You're wrong Are we all wrong (x2) The tombstones were waiting They were half-engraved They knew it was over Just didn't know the date And I cast a spell over the west to make you think of me The same way I think of you This is a love song in my own way Happily ever after below the waist Best friends Ex-friends till the end Better off as lovers Racing through the city Windows down In the back of yellow checkered cars You're wrong Are we all wrong (x2) Best friends (You're wrong) Ex-friends till the end Better off as lovers (You're wrong) And not the other way around Ex-friends till the end (You're wrong) Better off as lovers (You're wrong) 12. FAME < INFAMY I'm a preacher sweating in the pews For the salvation I'm bringing you I'm a salesmen selling hooks and plans And myself making demands When I'm home alone I just dance by myself And you pull my head so close volume goes without truth Signing off I'm all right in bed but I'm better with a pen The kid was all right but it went to his head I am God's gift, Why would he bless me with Such wit without a conscience equiped I'm addicted to the way I feel when I think of you There's to much green to feel blue When I'm home alone I just can't stop myself And you pull my head so close volume goes without truth Signing off I'm all right in bed but I'm better with a pen The kid was all right but it went to his head When I'm home alone I just can't stop myself And you pull my head so close volume goes without truth Signing off I'm all right in bed but I'm better with a pen' I'm all right in bed but I'm better with a pen' I'm all right in bed but I'm better with a pen' The kid was all right but it went to his head 13. YOU'RE CRASHING, BUT YOU'RE NO WAVE 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 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 course, 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...Guilty...Guilty...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 (x2) 14. I'VE GOT ALL THIS RINGING IN MY EARS AND NONE ON MY FINGERS You’re a canary, I’m a coal mine Cause sorrow is just all the rage Take one for the team You all know what I mean And I’m so sorry, but not really Tell the boys where to find my body New York eyes, Chicago thighs Pushed up the window to kiss you off The truth hurts worse than anything I could bring myself to do to you The truth hurts worse than anything I could bring myself to do to you Do you remember the way I held your hand Under the lamp post and ran home This way so many times I could close my eyes The truth hurts worse than anything I could bring myself to do to you The truth hurts worse than anything I could bring myself to do to you The truth hurts worse than anything I could bring myself to do The truth hurts worse than anything I could bring myself to do to you The truth The truth paroles ajoutées par Sektor - Modifier ces paroles
