The Foundations of Decay - My Chemical Romance

(SITTIN' ON) THE DOCK OF THE BAY Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come Watching the ships roll in And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the 'Frisco bay 'Cause I've had nothing to live for And look like nothin's gonna come my way So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time Look like nothing's gonna change Everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'll remain the same, yes Sittin' here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone It's two thousand miles I roamed Just to make this dock my home Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time (Whistle) (Otis Redding / Steve Cropper) Otis Redding - 1967 The Foundations - 1968 Golden Gate Quartet - 1968 T.

Mutation; you bring this scar onto me Sedation; The death of what I could be Disintegration; I'm so uncontrolled We are the devils; our hearts are bought and sold Wait for the light; Shine ever bright; Fall in-between; Never-ending screams Stream; it flows like hate eternal Corrosion; Nothing to brace the fall Illumination; I'm tearing at the seams We are the devils; and things aren't what they seem Wait for so long Everything's so wrong Am I led astray? Dawning of decay I'll see when the truth corrodes; I'll bleed till the sky explodes

Another one fucked it up System's down, don't back it up Calm the fire, don't blow it out Take the reins, no place to hide Never change, never blink On the news, you're a fake Hit me up, don't know what's real You'll find me, lock and load, let's go If you want to taste real pain Form a line in it comes You've got something to say A secret I can't keep I never saw it coming You fucking tell me now Runaway after what you've done, tell me In ten degrees of sins, you'll find in me I don't wake up to see what's now I am made to see what you desire Another chance, blow it up Same mistakes keep coming up No more fucks to tire me out Take revenge then make amends Never blink, never change On the noose, you contemplate Take a shot, don't know what's right Come down the gallows, vengeful, let's go If you want to feel real good Take all of the power back Turn the lights down to see what's left Do you still feel the need to cry? Tell me now Runaway after what you've done, tell me In ten degrees of sins, you'll find in me I don't wake up to see what's now I am made to see what you desire You've got something to say A secret I can't keep I never saw it coming You fucking tell me now

The ending of your life And if you get to heaven I'll be here waiting, babe Did you get what you deserve? The end, and if your life won't wait Then your heart can't take this Have you heard the news that you're dead? No one ever had much nice to say, I Think they never liked you anyway Oh, take me from the hospital bed Wouldn't it be grand to take a pistol by the hand? And wouldn't it be great if we were dead?
