Please, leave all overcoats, canes and top hats with the doorman
And from that moment, you'll be out of place and underdressed
I'm wrecking this evening already and loving every minute of it

Please, leave all overcoats, canes and top hats with the doorman
And from that moment, you'll be out of place and underdressed
I'm wrecking this evening already and loving every minute of it
Ruining this banquet for the mildly inspiring and...

When you're in black slacks with accentuating, off-white, pinstripes
Whoa, everything goes according to plan

I am the new cancer, never looked better, you can't stand it
Because you say so under your breath
You're reading lips "When did he get at all confident?"

Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
Never looked better, and you can't stand it

Next is a trip to the, the ladies room in vain, and
I bet you just can't keep up (keep up) with these fashionistas, and
Tonight, tonight you are, you are a whispering campaign
I bet to them your name is "Cheap"
I bet to them you look like sh--

Talk to the mirror, choke back tears.
And keep telling yourself that "I'm a diva!"
Oh and the smokes in that cigarette box on the table
They just so happen to be laced with nitroglycerin

I am the new cancer, never looked better, you can't stand it
Because you say so under your breath
You're reading lips "When did he get at all confident?"

Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
Never looked better, and you can't stand it

Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
I've never looked better, and you can't stand it

Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
I've never looked better, and you can't stand it

And I know, and I know, it just doesn't feel like a night out with no one sizing you up
I've never been so surreptitious, so of course you'll be distracted when I spike the punch

And I know, and I know, it just doesn't feel like a night out with no one sizing you up
I've never been so surreptitious, so of course you'll be distracted when I spike the punch

And I know, and I know, it just doesn't feel like a night out with no one sizing you up
I've never been so surreptitious, so of course you'll be distracted when I spike the punch

5 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Everyone's entitled to their opinion. I personally Love atreyu, but Panic provides what they can't, so... On to the main event. The reason this album is so good, is because a band has their entire LIFE to write the first album, the true test is the sophmore album. As it really forces the creative faucets to turn. Next, The word is Cancer. It could be an astrological sylbolistic lyric, or it could be in refferance to the disease. IE, calling someone a "cancer on society", hence him doing everything to crash this womans party. I love this song, by the way. And I believe it is one of the best offerins on the entire CD.

23 posts	sorry if someones all ready's said or you worked it out for yourself but surreptious means secretly, privetly, i think x

255 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I think canter would fit more in the burlesque theme of the song or somth, but I only hear the first one like that and all the other times is clearly cancer , still this song is amazing and it took me two times of listening before I noticed how good it is. I'm just waiting for more vids and songs (not entire albums but a few ep's so I won't get bored)

255 posts	*Also he's the one throwing the party to get back at the diva he was (supposedly) dating that (supposedly) ditched him because he wasn't confident (or maybe cocky?) Great great song once again.

23 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Cancer is the lyric, and it most definitely fits in with the other lyrics. Amazing song, fell in love as soon as I heard the intro. It has a different feel than the other songs (they all do, but this was something more). The lyrics are just genius. Other than Panic!, who could put nitroglycerin & surreptitious into a song without people thinking twice? Not that many I'm sure. The lyrics themself hide into a catchy beat and great drumming & vocals, but they are great lyrics.

5 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I'd say that the song is about the guy going to the party thingamajiger and he sees his ex, who he is suprised to see as she is now nothing. He is trying to show her up, while she keeps telling herself that she's a diva, and trying to get away from the guy, with the guy narrating the story.

2 posts	I really like this song. Their an awesome band and its only their first c.d, except its way more thought out than most artists c.ds. [/offtopic] It annoys me how everyone at concerts yells and screams " your so hot, marry me. "I think artists should be respected and listen to because of how good your music is not because they look good. anybody agree?
