DNFMOMD: The New Number 2 – the Lyrics

Episode 1 – Arrival

they had the flood lights on you
saying you’re not gonna make it this time
they beat your body
took your will then they took your mind
sent you back to me, said
“get what you can then leave him behind”
they’re gun gun gunning for you
your lips curl out from your face
like they got something to prove
and when they’re moving at night I think
you’re finally telling the truth
you’ve been running your whole life singing
“if you’ve got nothing you’ve got nothing to lose”
they’re gun gun gunning for you, love
when you wake up you’ll be in your own bed
when you wake up it won’t be your thoughts in your head
wake up wake up wake up wake up
wake up wake up wake up wake up
they’re gun gun gunning
they’re gun gun gunning
they’re gun gun gunning for you

Episode 2 – Dance of the Dead

Were you a ghost, were you a dream, were you just meant to hurt me

I’ve had this headache for six days straight
and I know it’s you knocking around in there
this heart aches but it just won’t break
and it’s just not fair, it’s just not fair

that you stepped out of a poem I’d read
you were dark and brooding, I was sure you were dead
but you were singing and laughing and dancing and praying as you talked me
through the night

saying “it’ll be all right, it’ll be all right, it’ll be all right”

Were you a ghost, were you a dream, were you just meant to hurt me

you were the wind blowing through this house
coming up my lungs and out my mouth
but you don’t talk to me anymore
and I’m trying to be strong, I’m trying to be strong

“it’ll be all right, it’ll be all right, it’ll be all right”

Were you a ghost, were you a dream, were you just meant to hurt me
Were you a ghost, were you a dream, were you just meant to hurt me

Episode 3 – Checkmate

You’re sitting at the table
watching jacks fly around
making bets you can’t pay
letting chips fall to the ground
made your money selling your torture
made your friends by being so lonely
got your name hiding what you knew
they couldn’t pin it on you, pin it on you
don’t follow me, don’t follow me (no, no, no)
stay with me, walk with me
got your hands in your pockets
clutching at the fabric of a green, green dress
it’s the last that you took from her
on the day that she left, the day that she left
don’t follow me, don’t follow me (no, no, no)
stay with me, walk with me
don’t follow me, don’t follow me (no, no, no)
stay with me, walk with me
you get up and your chair tips back
bullets are flying and you laugh laugh laugh
just give up, you won’t get her back
smoke is rising and you laugh laugh laugh
don’t follow me, don’t follow me (no, no, no)
stay with me, walk with me
don’t follow me, don’t follow me (no, no, no)
stay with me, walk with me

Episode 4 – Chimes of Big Ben 

Can’t walk ahead
Can’t fall back
You can’t side-step this one
You can try, you can try, you can try

Can’t walk ahead
Can’t fall back
You can’t side-step this one
You can try, you can try, you can try, you can try, you can try, you can try, you can try
Try to run, try to run, ru-uh-uh-uhn, just run

It’s gonna take quiet, and it’s gonna take tact
And it’s gonna take a heart, beat the lies from the facts
They got their dogs, at your heels
And I got my hands on whatever I can steal

Can’t walk ahead
Can’t fall back
You can’t side-step this one
You can try, you can try, you can try

Can’t walk ahead
Can’t fall back
You can’t side-step this one
You can try, you can try, you can try, you can try, you can try, you can try, you can try
Try to run, try to run, ru-uh-uh-uhn, just run

The line is drawn, and it’s east or west
Takes more than charm, if you’re gonna get me to confess
They got their dogs, and they’re at my heels
And I got a heart, so beaten it can’t feel

Can’t walk ahead
Can’t fall back
You can’t side-step this one
You can try, you can try, you can try

Can’t walk ahead
Can’t fall back
You can’t side-step this one
You can try, you can try, you can try, you can try, you can try, you can try, you can try
Try to run, try to run, ru-uh-uh-uhn, just run

Episode 9 – A.B.and C. 

Hook me up
Plug me in
Run me around
Send me up
Take me in
Put me down

If you wanna wake up
If you wanna break up
If you wanna stand up
If you wanna make up

If you wanna wake up
If you wanna break up
If you wanna stand up
If you wanna make up
If you wanna get up
If you wanna give up
If you wanna go, go, go, go, go

Hook me up
Plug me in
Run me around
Send me up
Take me in
Put me down

If you wanna wake up
If you wanna break up

If you wanna stand up

If you wanna wake up
If you wanna break up
If you wanna stand up
If you wanna make up
If you wanna get up
If you wanna give up
If you wanna go, go, go, go, go

If you just can’t wake it
If you wanna break it
If you wanna make it
If you just can’t stand it
If you just don’t get it
If you wanna give it
If you wanna know, no, no, no

A.B. or C. what’ s it gonna be
A.B. or C. got you staring back at me
A.B. or C. who’s it gonna be
A.B. or C. A.B or!

If you wanna wake up
If you wanna break up
If you wanna stand up
If you wanna make up
If you wanna get up
If you wanna give up
If you wanna GO
If you wanna wake up
If you wanna break up
If you wanna stand up
If you wanna make up
If you wanna get up
If you wanna give up
If you wanna GO
