Fall Out Boy released another song from Folie a Deux. As usual, Patrick is sometimes indecipherable.

My lyric guesses are behind the cut.


Mister sandman showing his [beam? bean?]
When he walks into the room the walls lean in to listen.
Surfed [out?] brainwaves flick back and forth like old headlights Sniffing model glue again*

Head like a steel trap wish I didn’t, I didn’t, I didn’t, I didn’t, I didn’t, I didn’t, I didn’t,
I don’t just want to be a footnote in someone else’s happiness

And does your husband know the way that the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?
Does he know the way, does he know the way,
Of the crickets that would convince me to call it a night.

I will never end up like him, behind my back I already am.
Keep a calendar this way you will always know

The last time you came through, oh darling, I know what you’re going through.
The last time you came through, oh darling oh darling oh darling.

Aw Tempest in a teacup, get unique.
Peroxide princess** shine like shark teeth.
It’s a sign (it’s a sign) It’s a sign (it’s a sign)
It’s a sign, what if you peaked[/peeked]* early?

And does your husband know the way that the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?
Does he know the way, does he know the way,
Of the crickets that would convince me to call it a night.

Does he does he know the way to worship [all alone? our love? other?]
Does your husband know the way that the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?

I will never end up like him, behind my back I already am.
Keep a calendar this way you will always know.

The last time you came through, oh darling, I know what you’re going through.
The last time you came through, oh darling oh darling oh darling.

Does your husband know, does your husband know does he know,
Does he know does he know does he know?

I will never end up like him, behind my back I already am.
Keep a calendar this way you will always know.

The last time you came through, oh darling, I know what you’re going through.
The last time you came through, oh darling, I know what you’re going through.


This is the longest song title from the album, but damn is it long.

Please don't submit all or part of my work to any lyrics sites, or distribute it in general without credit (in this case, a link back to my journal). Thanks!

an old buzznet entry has the lines:
surfed brainwaves flick back and forth like old headlights,
sniffing model glue again.
a head like a steel trap.
pixie.

Ok you and I are on about the same page lyric wise for it, lol. *is trying to figure them out more*

[corbae.livejournal.com]

I think I've gotten as far as I will by myself, so. Here you are, internets!, you know?

[echo-nightmare.livejournal.com]

I think the interwebs is happy? :D Haha. Yeah sitting here trying to figure out what teh Lunchbox is saying beyond what is mostly figured out is migraine inducing, lol. We will find out soon enough?

[corbae.livejournal.com]

yeah, but I'm impatient. I still disagree with some of the lyrics provided for I Don't Care--I just can't hear some of it *at all*. I hope my version is upheld in the booklet, but I doubt it, considering lyrics from the video shoot have been scanned in.

So this is partially me dealing with that, I guess? Also I don't want to do actual productive work right now.

[echo-nightmare.livejournal.com]

Lol yeah, in IDC some of the stuff to me is like that but I drilled it in anyway? Lol. NO WORK IS GREAT! Hah. Seriously though...I am impatient as well....*scans internet for song*

"what if you peaked early"?

[(Anonymous)]

"sniffing bottled glue again"

[corbae.livejournal.com]

I can hear both of those, now! thanks!

[(Anonymous)]

eep! i didn't even notice i was anonymous!

sorry.

*waves*

[tipsofpencils.livejournal.com]

....there is just something hilariously wrong with me today.

wow.

[corbae.livejournal.com]

it's the trade-off for having amazing Patrick-parsing ears. We all need to make sacrifices.

[jocondite.livejournal.com]

I think "head like a steel strap" is actually steel trap; otherwise, this is so helpful, thank you!

[corbae.livejournal.com]

agh typo! Thanks for pointing that out!

[suiteheart.livejournal.com]

its uh peroxide princess shine like shark teeth. from an old deleted blog entry of petes.

[corbae.livejournal.com]

thanks!

[suiteheart.livejournal.com]

also this is just a guess but the way to worship might be "our love". but patricks hitting such a high note its almost too beautiful to want to know haha

[suiteheart.livejournal.com]

wait. the line sounds more like "does he know the way to worship all alone" but thats still just me. maybe you hear it. maybe not

[corbae.livejournal.com]

I think we may need to wait for the booklet for that part. It's just too hard to tell what he's saying, and it could be pretty much anything.

[suiteheart.livejournal.com]

im singing all alone until then hahah. but thanks for putting this up!

[xmexandxyoux.livejournal.com]

thanks so much.
i think you were pretty accurate on the lyrics.

[corbae.livejournal.com]

thanks! I like transcribing things. Cause I'm kind of a dork. Yeah.

[eatshitty.livejournal.com]

Hey I know I just bought the Gainesville, FL tickets from you so I was wondering if I could have the ticket confirmation number to enter Meet and Greet with.

[corbae.livejournal.com]

sure. If you have any problems with that let me know. I'll message it to you.
