The amber of the fire is startin' to fade But it's now that I'm at my best Give the angel on my shoulder a break for the night 'Cause the devil ain't gettin' no rest I've got thousands of stories You've heard them before yet I'll tell them again and again Come on, pull up a stool now and buy me a drink And please think of me as a friend We'll live for the weekend, each city's the same There's a bar on the corner where they won't know your name There's plenty of drink, they've been saving your chair It's our second home, we ain't goin' nowhere It's the end, end of the night But we ain't goin' home It's the end, end of the night But we ain't goin' home It's the end, end of the night But we ain't goin' home This life, it ain't easy Still we've managed to win There's times we've been knocked down Yeah, we've led with our chin We're generous guys with our hearts on our sleeves Misunderstood, though the boss disagrees We can't catch a break, wrote the book on bad luck We'd hold down a job if it didn't all suck It's the end, end of the night But we ain't goin' home It's the end, end of the night But we ain't goin' home It's the end, end of the night But we ain't goin' home The bartender's spoken and he's made it clear If you ain't goin' home then you ain't stayin' here You can't shut us off and you won't turn us down There's plenty of joints who'll be grateful to have us around It's the end, end of the night But we ain't goin' home It's the end, end of the night But we ain't goin' home It's the end, end of the night But we ain't goin' home You've beaten me black and you've beaten me blue The scars are well worn on my face I've packed up the bags and I've sulked off in shame For one last walk of disgrace It's the end, end of the night But we ain't goin' home It's the end, end of the night But we ain't goin' home It's the end, end of the night But we ain't goin' home (We ain't goin' home) (We ain't goin' home) (We ain't goin' home) (Gotta go to work!)

Human, behave yourself You have burst at the seams Let it all fall out, opened your mouth Often I lie wide awake Think of things I can make But I don't seem to have the parts to build them Human, I wonder why You're a better make than I could ever build or create You know not love or hate I am so scared of what will kill me in the end For I am not prepared I hope I will get the chance To be someone, to be human Look what we've done Look what we've done I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human Human, I'm trying to come clean I will be a better me I will not drink until I'm dead I'll make the most of it I don't know what it's like to be alive To say goodbye, to cry a thousand times Because my ears won't listen Human, I'm trying not to lose my faith in you I've sussed out all that I've seen through I've sailed an ocean I am so scared of what I'll look like in the end For I am not prepared I hope I will get the chance To be someone, to be human Look what we've done Look what we've done I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I used to hear it all so loud The sound of my heart breaking The truth is waiting to be found I trust that I will take it I would give my life I would give my life, human I would give my life, human I would give my life, human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human

I've been filling in the blanks You left me with your open hands I never knew what I had to do Stumbling out in the dark You left me with a question mark You said the bridges had to be burned And it's a pain that only we know Of when lost all on your own Always has to be a new scare To keep us falling over the edge So, have another drink Have another drink, on me If this is what it takes If it's what it takes, baby Dream another dream 'Cause you're killing it, honey This is what we do to get by We're always chasing that paradise Paradise Uh-oh, Paradise, Uh-uh Uh, Paradise, Uh-oh-uh There's a place we try to reach Impossible as it would seem I heard you crying out in your sleep I see that look you save for me I pull you back upon your feet I know you always need something more, more And it's a pain that only we know Of when you lost it all on your own Always has to be a new scare To keep us falling over the edge So, have another drink Have another drink, on me If this is what it takes If it's what it takes, baby Dream another dream 'Cause you're killing it, honey This is what we do to get by We're always chasing that paradise, Uh-uh Uh-oh, Paradise, Uh-uh We're always chasing that paradise, Uh-uh Uh-oh, Paradise, Uh-uh I know we're headed for a moment, baby We made sense of it I know I struck you so reckless, honey We gave into it (paradise) I know we're headed for a moment, baby We made sense of it (paradise) I know I struck you so reckless, honey We gave in So, have another drink Have another drink, on me If this is what it takes If it's what it takes, baby Dream another dream 'Cause you're killing it, honey This is what we do to get by We're always chasing that paradise, Uh-uh Uh-oh, Paradise We're always chasing that paradise, Uh-Uh-uh Paradise

You trembled like you'd seen a ghost And I gave in I lack the things you need the most, you said where have you been You wasted all that sweetness to run and hide I wonder why I remind you of the days you poured your heart into But you never tried I've fallen from grace Took a blow to my face I've loved and I've lost I've loved and I've lost Explosions, on the day you wake up Needing somebody and you've learned It's okay to be afraid But it will never be the same It will never be the same You left my soul bleeding in the dark So you could be king The rules you set are still untold To me and I lost my faith in everything The nights you could cope, your intentions were gold But the mountains will shake I need to know I can still make Explosions, on the day you wake up Needing somebody and you've learned It's okay to be afraid But it will never be the same And as the floods move in And your body starts to sink I was the last thing on your mind I know you better than you think 'Cause it's simple darling, I gave you a warning Now everything you own is falling from the sky in pieces So watch them fall with you, in slow motion I pray that you will find peace of mind And I'll find you another time I'll love you, another time Explosions, on the day you wake up Needing somebody and you've learned It's okay to be afraid But it will never be the same
