[Intro: Stephan Jenkins]
Start your engines
Start your engines
Start your engines

[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]
Can we get the chemicals in?
'Cause anything's better than this
Mix it up with Vicodin
'Cause anything's better than this
Little cuts on your wrist
To try and get back the feeling
And no real friendships exist
That would be an understatement

[Pre-Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
You tell me the reason
(Can I show up?)
Friends you knew before
(How long now has it been?)
This is your season
(Oh I give up)
Just show up
(I can't knock on your door)

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
'Cause I keep bad company
I'm trouble
So go on, stay away from me
I play the villain
You don't know where we've been
Go!

[Post-Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Lining 'em up again
(Start your engines)
Lining 'em up again
(Start your engines)
Lining 'em up again
(Start your engines)
(Start your engines)

[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins]
Can we get the chemicals in?
Olde English is making me manic
I go to SuicideGirls again
To check on anything I missed
The stitches don't even begin
To even stop up the bleeding
Can we get the chemicals in?
'Cause anything's better than this

[Pre-Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
The city is dying
(At least to me)
The city is dead now
(My kingdom for a friend)
Are you even trying
(To find some peace)
Don't need a reason
(I guess I'm living in)

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
'Cause I keep bad company
I'm in trouble
Last chance, stay away from me
I play the villain
You don't know where we've been

[Post-Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Lining 'em up again
Keep saying this will end

[Guitar Solo: Tony Fredianelli]

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
I keep bad company
I'm in trouble
Keep saying this will end
Lining 'em up again
You know I'll never change

[Post-Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Lining 'em up again
(Start your engines)
Lining 'em up again
(Start your engines)
Lining 'em up again
(Start your engines)
Lining 'em up again
(Start your engines)
Lining 'em up again
(Start your engines)

Third Eye Blind from San Francisco Mission District Mostly guitars with other things knocking around Riffs and deep beats Lyrics are expanded in a kinda hip hop way That wrong thing you’re not supposed to say- we say it Black on Black pretty much from the beginning It took us so long to get things this way but it really feels like we are underway now Jacked on coffee we are a fabulously disorganized bunch We seek impact with friends try to surf whenever we can dirty jokes looking out for each other we have eyes and a voice so no surprise when we speak the fuck up We care about shit No sequencers no backing tracks not a DJ group We believe in the gathering power of music Guess you could say we are a motherfucking rock band Born in shadow, made of lions, loud as fuck
