I said, we'll drown ourselves in misery tonight
White lies, you've worn out all your dancing shoes this time

Just give us war-worn lipstick, blood and purifying flame

These eyes have had too much to drink again tonight
Black skies, we'll douse ourselves in high explosive light

Just give us war-worn, I've been calling you all week for my shotgun!

Pick up the phone
Pick up the phone, fucker

I wanna see what you're insides look like (I wanna see what your insides look like)
I bet you're not fuckin pretty on the inside (Not so pretty)
I wanna see what you're insides look like (Not so pretty baby)
I wanna see em (Not so)

Well you don't say
And well I can explain what happened to my faith
Late last night
I sleep in empty pools in vacant alleyways
And what I'm goin through, shot lipgloss through my veins
And when I can't complain
With the falling rain

C'mon

I wanna save your heart
I wanna see what your insides may be

    Lyric Correction:"lipstick by the door if I inflame"?
    Um, no. It's

    "lipstick, blood and purifying flame."

    In fact this whole thing from Mibba.com is a lot closer:
    "I said,
    We'll drown ourselves in misery tonight.
    White lies!
    You've worn out all your dancing shoes this time.
    Just give us war!
    Worn lipstick,
    Blood,
    And purifying flame.
    These eyes,
    Have had too much to drink again tonight.
    Black skies!
    We'll douse ourselves in high explosive lights.
    Just give us war!
    War!
    I've been calling you all week for my,
    Shotgun!
    Pick up the phone!
    Pick up the phone, fucker!
    I wanna see what you're insides look like,
    I bet you're not so pretty on the inside!
    I wanna see what you're insides look like.
    I wanna see 'em!
    Well, you don't say,
    And, well, I can't explain what happened to my face.
    Late last night,
    I sleep in empty pools and vacant alleyways.
    And what I'm goin' through,
    Shot lipgloss through my veins.
    And, well, I can't complain,
    With the falling rain.
    C'mon!
    I want to save your heart!
    I want to see what your insides may be like!"

    General Comment:I like the backup singing. It sounds really cool.
    It's like, "I wanna see what your inside look like. Bet you're not effin pretty..." "Not effin pretty... Not effin pretty, baby."
    I THINK that's what he says. But anyway, awesome song.
    When he says, "falling rain," I hear, "violent rain."
    Or maybe it's just the way Gerard articulates it. Hee hee

    General Comment:This is my favourite song of them, and I've tried to understand it for a long time.

    My thoughts are that Gerard is talking with himself, the "wrong" Gerard talking with the "right" Gerard.

    I don't know if someone have thought this but:
    "Shot lipgloss through my veins" ---> Heroin?
    I've always thought that. He is completely alone, no support, just himself.

    I guess the last two phrases are reffering from the "right" Gerard to the "wrong" Gerard.
    Best song of the band.
