[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I'm a young one stuck in the thoughts of an
Old one's head
When all the others were just stirring awake, I'm trying to
Trick myself to fall asleep again, whoa

[Pre-Chorus]
My head's in heaven, my soles are in hell
Let's meet in the purgatory of my hips and get well

[Chorus]
Hurry, hurry, you put my head in such a
Flurry, flurry, oh freckle, freckle
What makes you so special?
What makes you so special?

[Post-Chorus]
I'm going to leave you, I'm going to teach you
How we're all alone, whoa, whoa

[Verse 2]
Guild me, build me, it's your club, so
Let me in (let me in)
Knowing how heartwarming it is inside
Your skin

[Pre-Chorus]
My head's in heaven, my soles are in hell
Let's meet in the purgatory of my hips and get well

[Chorus]
Hurry, hurry, you put my head in such a
Flurry, flurry, oh freckle, freckle
What makes you so special?
What makes you so special?

[Post-Chorus]
I'm going to leave you, I'm going to teach you
How we're all alone, whoa, whoa

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Hurry, hurry, you put my head in such a
Flurry, flurry, oh freckle, freckle
What makes you so special?
What makes you so special?

[Post-Chorus]
I'm going to leave you, I'm going to teach you
How we're all alone, whoa, whoa

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Outro]
Mama, if we don't take the medication
We won't sleep for days, we won't sleep for days
Mama, if we pray to the lord, oh
Does he sing on a stage? Does he sing on a stage?
We waste it all in the back of a long dark car
And I'm a sunshine machine
Uh, I want to get stuck, I want to get stuck
And be golden in your memory, mmm, mmm, oh, oh...

Fall Out Boy

Fall Out Boy is an American rock band hailing from Wilmette, Illinois. The band was formed in 2001 by Pete Wentz, who supplies bass and lyrics to the band, and guitarist Joe Trohman, who both used to be part of metalcore band Arma Angelus. Trohman later recruited vocalist Patrick Stump, who initially tried out as the band’s drummer, after meeting him in a bookstore. After the release of Project Rocket/Fall Out Boy, a split EP with Project Rocket. It was recorded without current drummer Andy Hurley due to him being disinterested in the project; Hurley later joined in 2003 as a replacement touring drummer.

Fueled By Ramen, who were a small independent label at the time, personally called Fall Out Boy to ask them to record a full-length record after hearing one of their demos online. This album became their 2003 debut, Take This To Your Grave, and was a tipping point between the band’s underground success to success in the mainstream. It was the band’s last album to feature Stump as the lead lyricist.

The band’s 2004 acoustic EP, My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue, became their first charting release and gave fans a taste of what to expect on their sophomore album From Under The Cork Tree. The album creation was set back in February 2005 after Wentz’s suicide attempt, which influenced songs such as “7 Minutes In Heaven (Atavan Halen).” The album was released in May 2005 through Island Records, featuring guest vocals from William Beckett of The Academy Is… and Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco.
