You're Crashing, But You're No Wave Lyrics - Fall Out Boy

1 The D.A. is dressed to the nines

2 In the mirror he practices all his lines

3 To his closing argument, twelve hearts beat in favor

4 I'm guessing that he read the morning paper

5 The headline reads "The Man Hangs, but the jury doesn't"

6 And everyone's looking for relief

7 The United States versus disbelief

8 Mothers cast tears on both sides of the aisle

9 Clear your throat and face the world

10 The verdict falls like bachelors for bad luck girls

11 Only breathing with the aid of denial

12 Case open, case shut

13 But you could pay to close it like a casket

14 Baby boy can't lift his headache head

15 Isn't it tragic?

16 He glances at his peers sitting seven to twelve

17 Stacked on one to six the gallery is hushed

18 Boys in three pieces dream of grandstanding and bravado

19 The city sleeps in a cell notwithstanding what we all know

20 Hang on a rope or bated breath

21 Whichever you prefer

22 And everyone's looking for relief

23 A bidding war for an old flame's grief

24 The 'cause, the kid, the cough, the charm, and the curse

25 Not a word that could make you comprehend

26 Too well dressed for the witness stand

27 The press prays for whichever headline's worse

28 Case open, case shut

29 But you could pay to close it like a casket

30 Baby boy can't lift his headache head

31 Isn't it tragic?

32 Fresh pressed suit and tie

33 Unimpressed birds sing and die

34 Can talk my way out of anything

35 The foreman reads the verdict

36 "In the above entitled actions we find the defendant

37 Guilty"

38 Case open, case shut

39 But you could pay to close it like a casket

40 Baby boy can't lift his headache head

41 Isn't it tragic?

42 Case open, case shut

43 But you could pay to close it like a casket

44 Baby boy can't lift his headache head

45 Isn't it tragic?
