Here’s a toast to actors To racing worn out tractors And everybody thinking you’re crazy for drinking on a Monday night Here’s to keeping secrets And she likes he likes her yet No one ever seems to like the one who’s right I drown my sorrows in dancing with other people’s problems And I find the answers in bathroom stalls I drink hard liquor because it has less calories And I don’t come home till morning falls I drown my sorrows in dancing with other people’s problems And I find the answers in bathroom stalls I drink hard liquor because it has less calories And I don’t come home till morning falls Here’s a toast to weekends The endless line of brand new friends Who barely leave, before they just arrive Here’s to Alpha Centauri To wearing paper jewelry And trying till you’re numb to feel alive I drown my sorrows in dancing with other people’s problems And I find the answers in bathroom stalls I drink hard liquor because it has less calories And I don’t come home till morning falls Here’s a toast to one more drink And washing bloody fingers in the kitchen sink And wishing I could find a bit of peace Here’s to Tuesday mornings And staying up till dawn is The only way to keep from falling asleep I drown my sorrows in dancing with other people’s problems And I find the answers in bathroom stalls I drink hard liquor because it has less calories And I don’t come home till morning falls

You want it you need it you're aching to feed it you hold it close The ache in your bones has made you its own and you need the dose Your mind keeps on racing your heart is erasing your common sense But all you can taste is the rapture of breaking your last defence And you're addicted to the lime light Addicted to the time right When nobody is looking at anything but you Addicted to the front page Addicted to the center stage  Cause nothing can compete Nothing tastes as sweet as Lime It makes you it breaks you, it's always awake, you can feel the pull It calls in the night, the draw of the light is too powerful It holds you, it moulds you, envelops, enfolds you in warm embrace Just one little bit, just one little hit, a tiny taste You're addicted to the lime light Addicted to the time right When nobody is looking at anything but you Addicted to the front page Addicted to the center stage  Cause nothing can compete Nothing tastes as sweet as Lime Your guts keep on churning your eyes they are burning to see a thing Your breath has escaped your hands start to shake, your ears just ring The doubts start to creep in your feet are asleep and you start to pray But as it begins the rest of your sins just melt away Cause you're addicted to the lime light Addicted to the time right When nobody is looking at anything but you Addicted to the front page Addicted to the center stage  Cause nothing can compete Nothing tastes as sweet And it might feel like hell And you're not doing well But the final chord swells  Well they're On their feet  Dancing in the street Cause nothing can compete No nothing tastes as sweet As lime

He said he came from the wrong side of the track now he's made it cross to money and hes never coming back He has set his destination in his one track mind while we're all blowing smoke he's leaving us behind Yeah he is chugging like an engine he is working to the bone he is iron, he is thunder he is carved right out of stone there's a fire in his belly and a burning in his chest for his one way ticket to fame and success He's alive with aspiration but he hasn't got a clue he's surpassing expectations but it's too good to be true the wheels are getting greasy and he's running out of steam but he's blinded by ambition and he's reaching for his dreams Yeah he is chugging like an engine he is working to the bone he is iron, he is thunder he is carved right out of stone there's a fire in his belly and a burning in his chest for his one way ticket to fame and success He is flying past the station, he's forgotten how to brake he is hurtling through tunnels as the cabin starts to shake he is breaking every limit, he is tearing down the line he has lost all sense of reason, he is running out of time

You merchants of death, oh you sellers of sin With your bubblegum breath And your saccharine grin We opened the door and we welcomed you in You merchants of death, oh you sellers of sin All my money and all my time I have traded and borrowed and dotted that line You merchants of death, oh you teller of tales Spin straw into fold turn your minnows to whales And who can we blame when economy fails You merchants of death, oh you teller of tales All my money and all my time I have traded and borrowed and dotted that line You merchants of death, oh you makers of kings With a quiet request and a pulling of strings But whose on the block when the guillotine swings? You merchants of death, oh you makers of kings All my money and all my time I have traded and borrowed and dotted that line I dotted on the line You dotted on the line We dotted on the line I dotted on the line
