Song lyrics

Send "The Sharpest Lives" ringtones to your cell

Well it rains and it pours
When you're out on your own
If I crash on the couch
Can I sleep in my clothes?
'Cause I've spent the night dancing
I'm drunk, I suppose
If it looks like I'm laughing
I'm really just asking to leave

This alone, you're in time for the show
You're the one that I need
I'm the one that you loathe
You can watch me corrode like a beast in repose
'Cause I love all the poison
Away with the boys in the band

I've really been on a bender and it shows
So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes?

Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

There's a place in the dark where the animals go
You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow
Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands
Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo

I've really been on a bender and it shows
So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes?

Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

17 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song is about one of two things. Gerard's drug addiction -or- The Patient is now recalling the tough time he had with substance abuse. At this point in his life, he expected everyone to leave him, much like his sanity. Personally, one of my fave songs on the album.

27 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song is one of my favs. It has such a primative sound to it. Something about it is just rough around the edges... It makes me think of the stories of people being raised by wolves and not being social creatures... just wild beasts. Love the rawness of it! The part of the bright sun and the vampires is my fav of the song... interesting.

44 posts	In recent months, however, the lead singers of both bands seem to have had a falling out over disagreements due to the addition of "Under Pressure" to In Love and Death. Most of this evidence comes from an interview with Bert and a recent song by My Chemical Romance entitled "The Sharpest Lives". (This song may also be about their former drummer, Matt Pelisser or Way's own past.) that's about The Used and My Chem...i hope it's not true

27 posts	If it looks like I'm laughing I'm really just asking to leave One of my favorite parts in this song. One of my three favorite songs of the album. I agree, I like how it reminds you of being primitive and simpler, wanting the basic needs... in this case, drugs. A great and powerful song. =]

64 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song just kicks ass and bites well I better not say, It´s an awesome song. I give it a thumbs up, I just heard it and well fell in love with it. The part that worries me is that I´ve had this album for a year and months now and well I just discovered this song... That shows me to listened to all the album and not just the song that I originally bought the Cd for.
