Chicago lyrics - The Academy Is...
Crushing dreams an crooked song, ooh ooooh
Trap me in a crowded parking lot, ooh ooooh
I feel the side is turning
The end of the chapter starts to play
Do I really belong here any more? Anyway?
[Chorus]
I can't sleep all night like being stuck in;
Chicago, staring at the ceiling
I'm looking for something to believe in
Walk these city streets
Do you remember me? Remember when;
When I was all you really needed
Chicago oooh I'm leaving
I count my memories of you, ooh ooooh
Empty bottle midnight rendezvous
Outside, insides burning
Do I really belong here any more? Anyway?
[Chorus]
I can't sleep all night like being stuck in;
Chicago, staring at the ceiling
I'm looking for something to believe in
Walk these city streets
Do you remember me? Remember when;
When I was all that you needed
Chicago oooh I'm leaving
I'm leaving
[Chorus]
I can't sleep all night like being stuck in;
Chicago, staring at the ceiling
I'm looking for something to believe in
Walk these city streets
Do you remember me? Remember when;
When I was all that you needed
Chicago oooh I'm leaving
Fox On The Run lyrics - The Academy Is...
(originally by Ace Frehley)
I
don't wanna know your name,
cause you don't look the same,
the way you did before.
OK
you think you got a pretty face,
but the rest of you is out of place,
You looked all right before.
Fox on the run.
You scream and everybody comes
a running.
Take a run and hide
yourself away.
Foxy's on the run.
F-foxy,
fox on the run
and hide away.
You
you talk about just every band,
but the names you drop are second hand.
I've heard it all before.
I
don't wanna know your name,
cause you don't look the same,
the way you did before.
Fox on the run.
You scream and everybody comes
a running.
Take a run and hide
yourself away.
Foxy's on the run.
F-foxy,
fox on the run
and hide away.
Foxy,
fox on the run.
You scream and everybody comes
a running.
Take a run and hide
yourself away.
Foxy's on the run
F-foxy,
fox on the run.
You scream and everybody comes
a running.
Take a run and hide
yourself away.
Foxy's on the run
F-f-f-foxy
I
don't wanna know your name,
cause you don't look the same,
the way you did before.
OK
you think you got a pretty face,
but the rest of you is out of place,
You looked all right before.
Fox on the run.
You scream and everybody comes
a running.
Take a run and hide
yourself away.
Foxy's on the run.
F-foxy,
fox on the run
and hide away.
You
you talk about just every band,
but the names you drop are second hand.
I've heard it all before.
I
don't wanna know your name,
cause you don't look the same,

You scream and everybody comes

I'm Yours Tonight - the academy is...
Forever alone until I found you,
and now you’re always there;
voice on the air, scent on my clothes.
Oh, but when the sun exposes all my demons,
will you stay or run away?
I’ll help you find your way
every moment you’re awake.
You know I’ll stay,
even in your dreams
I’ll pull the stars down from the heavens
to fill your empty skies
I’m yours tonight.
I’m yours tonight.
Wherever you go, they say I’m bad news.
When every one agrees,
whispers start sounding like screams.
Oh, but I know what you want
to say before the words escape your teeth.
Will you trust in me?
I’ll help you find your way
every moment you’re awake.
You know I’ll stay,
even in your dreams
I’ll pull the stars down from the heavens
to fill your empty skies
I’m yours tonight.
I’m yours tonight.
My good intentions
can leave the hardest hearts,
the harshest scars you’ve ever seen.
My bad impressions they follow me,
making enemies that I can’t see.
Forever alone, until I found you.
I know that you’ll stay.
You won’t run away.
I’ll help you find your way
every moment you’re awake.
You know I’ll stay,
even in your dreams
I’ll pull the stars down from the heavens
to fill your empty skies
I’m yours tonight.
I’ll help you find your way
every moment you’re awake.
You know I’ll stay,
even in your dreams
I’ll pull the stars down from the heavens
to fill your empty skies
I’m yours tonight.
I’m yours tonight.
I’m yours tonight.
and now you’re always there;
voice on the air, scent on my clothes.
Oh, but when the sun exposes all my demons,
will you stay or run away?
I’ll help you find your way
every moment you’re awake.
You know I’ll stay,

Days Like Masquerades - the academy is...
I said,
“Hey you, this is me.
The idealist inside that holds your love on a string,
wound and tied like kites to all your hopes and dreams.
What a tangled mess that they’ve turned out to be.
Take a breath, and ask yourself what matters.”
Days like masquerades, silent, hiding in the shadows,
Oooh, stripped of their disguise leave you haunted as you scatter.
But you’re always on my mind.
You’re always on my mind.
When you feel lost out at sea,
surrounded by on equal sides the same routine,
Becoming what you swore you’d never be.
Don’t distress, there’s a big bright place if you stay close to me.
Take a breath, and I’ll show you what matters.
Days like masquerades, silent, hiding in the shadows,
Oooh, stripped of their disguise leave you haunted as you scatter.
But you’re always on my mind.
You’re always on my mind.
Oh, oh, oh...
You’re always on my mind.
You’re always on my mind.
Days like masquerades, take a breath and feel what matters.
Days like masquerades, take a breath and feel what matters.
Days like masquerades, take a breath and feel what matters.
Days like masquerades, take a breath and feel it.
Breath and feel it.
“Hey you, this is me.
The idealist inside that holds your love on a string,
wound and tied like kites to all your hopes and dreams.
What a tangled mess that they’ve turned out to be.
Take a breath, and ask yourself what matters.”

Days like masquerades, take a breath and feel what matters.
Days like masquerades, take a breath and feel what matters.
Days like masquerades, take a breath and feel it.
Breath and feel it.
Sputter - the academy is...
Wake up, try on your new disguise,
Would they recognize you anyway?
Would they?
Dead leaves lie down beneath your feet
As you step into the street and
Notice the distance between the hearts and homes
But still you know it's alright.
You're not looking back this time.
You know it's alright.
You're stepping on the cracks and you feel fine.
Don't waste your breath.
You wouldn't want this anyway.
And if you did, I think I'd let you,
Talk this to death, or in circles like we're aeroplanes.
But all along I knew that we would sputter out.
We would sputter.
Outside constructions workers pour
A brand new basement floor.
But then the ground starts shaking
fault lines to your own front door.
I looked at this and thought of you,
And all that is and isn't true,
And with the strength left in me,
walked on while the walls came down.
It's alright.
You're not looking back this time.
You know it's alright.
I'm stepping on the cracks and I feel fine.
Don't waste your breath.
You wouldn't want this anyway.
And if you did, I think I'd let you,
Talk this to death, or in circles like we're aeroplanes.
But all along I knew that we would sputter out.
We would sputter.
We would sputter...
We would sputter...
We would sputter out...
We would sputter out.
Don't waste your breath.
You wouldn't want this anyway.
And if you did, I think I'd let you,
Talk this to death, or in circles like we're aeroplanes.
But all along I knew that we would sputter out. (We would sputter)
But all along I knew that we would sputter out. (We would sputter)
But all along I knew that we would sputter out.
We would sputter
We would sputter down.
Would they recognize you anyway?
Would they?

New York (Saint In The City) - the academy is...
She said "You can't stay a saint that long in the city."
you laugh at the thought on the the elevator down, you're just a phone call away.
You're placing a big blind bet on the underdog
and though its a stretch, you believe
when you're against the odds, and on your feet
with you at your best, and promises kept,
she'd rather stay here with you on the laziest afternoons with you.
Lost in pacific time with the sound of a dial tone
let the memories count the miles and never be forgotten.
You woke to the screech of the wheels on a runway
over an ocean of praise on a stage,
the songs of your love fall to your knees.
with you at your best, this is all you've got left,
she'd rather stay here with you on the laziest afternoons with you.
Lost in pacific time with the sound of a dial tone
let the memories count the miles and never be forgotten.
When hearts hang on the line, and all that you fear has happened
Let the memories count the miles, and never be forgotten.
Was it something that she said, something that she did
to make you leave her here alone?
Was it something that you said, something that you did
to make her leave you here?
Don't leave me here alone.
Lost in pacific time with the sound of a dial tone
let the memories count the miles and never be forgotten.
When hearts hang on the line, and all that you fear has happened
Let the memories count the miles, and never be forgotten.

In The Rearview - the academy is...
So I got your message
And its been a long time
Since we have spoken face to face
I cant help to question your cause of interest
Its just like the dead lay buried in the grave
Right now
and I was feeling just content enough to forget you
I've found skeletons grow stronger when kept from the light
I would rather die than admit that I
Don't know don't know
I would rather die than admit that I
Don't know don't know
You would rather be alone than admit you were wrong
Than admit you were wrong
There's blood on the freeway
Painting a poisoned past
Kissed with a hard rain washed away
You're back to your old ways
Carelessly leaving tracks
The road you have chosen
I refuse to take
Right Now
and I was feeling just content enough to forget you
I've found skeletons grow stronger when kept from the light
I would rather die than admit that I
Don't know don't know
I would rather die than admit that I
Don't know don't know
You would rather be alone than admit you were wrong
I would rather die than admit that I
Don't know don't know
I would rather die than admit that I
Don't know don't know
You would rather be alone
Right now
and I was feeling just content enough to forget you
I've found that skeletons grow stronger when kept in the rearview

[Distant:] I'm not in love
One song about a girl
I can't breathe when I'm around her
I'll wait here everyday
In case she'll scratch the surface
She'll never notice
I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words
About a girl
Whoa!
Last night, I knew what to say
But you weren't there to hear it
These lines, so well rehearsed
Tongue tied and over-loaded
You'll never notice
I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words
About a girl
I'm not in love
This is not your song
I'm not gonna waste these words
About a girl
To be loved, to be loved
What more could you ask for?
To be loved, to be loved
Everyone wants
To be loved, to be loved
What more could you ask for?
To be loved, to be loved
Everyone...
I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words
I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words
About a girl
I'm not in love
(To be loved, to be loved, what more could you ask for?)
This is not your song
(To be loved, to be loved, everyone wants)
I'm not gonna waste these words

Summer Hair = Forever Young - the academy is...
We're crashing cars we used to share
With summer girls
With summer hair
We're driving around chasing the stars
But the party's busted up
Before it ever starts
I'll never let you go
Don't ever forget
Tell me you'll remember
Forever young
I'll never let you fall
It's not over yet
You and me forever
Forever young
We're forever young
Stop making plans, start making sense
Don't you believe any word they said
Sparked up, sparked up like a book of matches
Falling through the night
And rising from the ashes
I'll never let you go
Don't ever forget
Tell me you'll remember
Forever young
I'll never let you fall
It's not over yet
You and me forever
Forever young
We're forever young
Don't come any closer
Don't tell me it's over
Don't kiss me goodbye
Here we are, am i taking this too hard?
Don't say that it's easy
The hardest part is leaving
Don't you wonder why...
Suddenly, we're all running out of time
I'll never let you go
Don't ever forget
Tell me you'll remember
Forever young
I'll never let you fall
It's not over yet
You and me forever
Forever young
We're forever young
We're forever young
We're forever young
With summer girls
With summer hair
We're driving around chasing the stars
But the party's busted up
Before it ever starts
I'll never let you go
Don't ever forget
Tell me you'll remember
Forever young
I'll never let you fall
It's not over yet
You and me forever
Forever young
We're forever young
Stop making plans, start making sense
Don't you believe any word they said
Sparked up, sparked up like a book of matches
Falling through the night
And rising from the ashes
I'll never let you go
Don't ever forget
Tell me you'll remember
Forever young
I'll never let you fall
It's not over yet
You and me forever
Forever young
We're forever young
Don't come any closer
Don't tell me it's over
Don't kiss me goodbye
Here we are, am i taking this too hard?
Don't say that it's easy
The hardest part is leaving
Don't you wonder why...
Suddenly, we're all running out of time
I'll never let you go

You and me forever

We're forever young
We're forever young

The Test - the academy is...
Look like a lush. Talk like a tease.
The way you like it.
In front of your house, alone on the street,
You ask me to come inside.
Asleep through all our classes,
You hang me out to dry.
If this is a test,
I’m losing my shit
Would it kill you to care
As much as I did?
If this is a test,
I’m wasting my breath
You’re a stranger I know well,
And not at all.
Heart on a hook thrown out to the sea,
Your basement busy.
Sitting in the dark, I turn the radio off for a
Phone call you’ll likely miss.
Wake me when it’s over.
The last sound of goodbye.
If this is a test,
I’m losing my shit
Would it kill you to care
As much as I did?
If this is a test,
I’m wasting my breath
You’re a stranger I know well,
And not at all.
“Let’s imagine the end before we even begin,” you said.
“Let’s imagine the end before we even begin,” you said.
You said,
If this is a test,

And not at all.
And not at all.
You’re a stranger I know well, and not at all.
And not at all.
You're a stranger I know well.
The way you like it.
In front of your house, alone on the street,
You ask me to come inside.
Asleep through all our classes,
You hang me out to dry.
If this is a test,
I’m losing my shit
Would it kill you to care
As much as I did?
If this is a test,
I’m wasting my breath
You’re a stranger I know well,
And not at all.
Heart on a hook thrown out to the sea,
Your basement busy.
Sitting in the dark, I turn the radio off for a
Phone call you’ll likely miss.
Wake me when it’s over.
The last sound of goodbye.
If this is a test,
I’m losing my shit
Would it kill you to care
As much as I did?
If this is a test,
I’m wasting my breath

Rumored Nights - the academy is...
I walked you home most days
to beat the traffic after class
with all my best intentions.
But when the weather changed,
like fine print, you were hard to read.
Blind-folded, eyes wide open,
staring through me.
I never heard the words that were spoken,
with the rumored nights, with the rendezvous.
I never thought the whispers were true ‘til now…
I saw things that I shouldn’t have tonight, tonight.
I know now what I couldn’t have,
I’ve gone too far to turn it back
I’ve gone too far to turn it back
Followed you home halfway,
over the fence to your backyard,
with all my best intentions.
And through your window frame,
outstretched and lying on your bed,
Blind-folded, eyes wide open,
staring through me.
I never heard the words that were spoken,
with the rumored nights, with the rendezvous.
I never look at you like I used to now
I saw things that I shouldn’t have tonight, tonight.
I know now what I couldn’t have,
I’ve gone too far to turn it back
I’ve gone too far to turn it back
Uninvited, no one knows
how much I care, how bad you are,
How good we’d be, but you won’t let me in
Goodnight I’m leaving.

Automatic Eyes - the academy is...
Staring at the mirror through your hair,
You can’t see everything that you did to me.
With your automatic eyes, five years disappeared.
Five years disappeared that night.
Do you want me to stay,
Do you want me to go?
Do you think I recognize
The look on your face when you think that
I know?
Blinded as the shades draw closed,
Time’s up for us
Would you want me to go,
If you knew what I know?
If you knew what I know.
Staring at the wall above the bed,
I can’t sleep with all the secrets that you keep.

Crowded Room - the academy is...
Excuse me, yeah I'm talking to you.
Look in the mirror, could you tell me
what you see?
Hard hearts are crashing in a crowded room.
You never felt so good, you never felt so free.
Save you from yourself
before you start to deal with everyone else.
You should have kept it to yourself,
now we're looking to fight, this isn't alright.
Alright, you better hold your scripted tongue
if you ever plan to use those words again.
The future doesn't make much sense
with you at the helm with your friends.
This is where that ends.
You've got a problem here.
The tide is turning you inside out.
This won't take long your reign is done.
We are the innocent ones
You can't take back the damage done
This is the last time you will shine.
Spare us your excuse,
cuz this exercise of self-abuse
will swallow everything that you hold dear
the further you are, the closer we get,
the more you need to hold your scripted tongue
If you ever plan to use those words again.
The hallways are filled with silence
and gawking stares that don't care.
This is where that ends.
You've got a problem here.
The tide is turning you inside out.
This won't take long your reign is done.
We are the innocent ones
You can't take back the damage done
This is the last time, last time.
This won't take long your reign is done.

Shine.

Coppertone - the academy is...
Do you think you’re up for this?
Are you ready to get undressed,
undressed in your evening best besides,
every heart is like a house on fire with escape
routes in every room.
These are the trials of our youth.
But this charade is never going to last
so pick the poison and pour yourself a glass
I still feel the same
No one’s to blame
I will be waiting outside if you’re ready to go.
Your sundress reflects in the headlight glow.
Besides, every heart is like a house of cards
when the walls break down on you.
These are the trials of our youth.
But this charade is never going to last
so pick the poison and pour yourself a glass
I still feel the same
These are the fast times
These are the fast times
But this charade is never going to last
so pick the poison and pour yourself a glass
I still feel the same
These mistakes are just a part of the ride
and if we choke on the next tongue that we tie
I still feel the same
These are the fast times [x4]

After The Last Midtown Show - the academy is...
It’s a drunken midnight on the streets,
brightly dusted with a neon light.
We duck behind the corner store,
smoke your smokes while I keep
a watchful eye.
Right here, right now.
I hope before the night is through
one fumbled touch will finally hit the spot.
You’ve got everything going for you,
so I’ll go for you with everything I got.
Right here, the best days of our lives.
Is this coincidence or a sign?
Is there anything I missed?
Is there anything I missed?
Tell me if I’m wrong,
but why would we change a thing?
When the morning light fights through the cracks
cascading across the bed, and you are mine.
When your parents start to wake for work,
between the sheets, I’ll keep a watchful eye.
Right here, the best days of our lives.
Is this coincidence or a sign?
When we met I was on my back.
I swear we spent most afternoons
somewhere in the act.
We were part of something ours,
and ours alone.
Anywhere was home.
We’re almost here again.
We’re almost here again.
We’re almost here again.
Right here, right now.

Beware! Cougar! - the academy is...
When I met you, you were on your back.
We still spend most afternoons like that,
but not for long.
I find myself enjoying you,
but you play these reckless games
you’ll never lose
as long as I’m around.
Do you want to tie me up?
Do you want to tie me down?
Go ahead and do it now.
So far, so good, let it roll, let it ride, ride.
So far, so good, let us fall, let us fight, fight.
It’s no fun on the sidelines.
We both know I’m too young for you,
and when you fake a laugh behind the wheel,
I know where this road is heading to.
With a sunken lie I lay in bed,
but I will live to be twenty-three.
And you’ll see just how clever I can be…
Do you want to tie me up?
Do you want to tie me down?
Go ahead and do it now.
So far, so good, let it roll, let it ride, ride.
So far, so good, let us fall, let us fight, fight.
It’s no fun on the sidelines.
Driving backwards, wasting time.
Young love is ruthless, so learn to fly.
You taught me things I can’t forget.
Positions that I don’t regret.
I can’t walk away, and I can’t shake the taste.
Do you want to tie me up?
