20 Dollar Nose Bleed Lyrics by Fall Out Boy

Folie à Deux

2008

[Verse 1: Patrick Stump]
Have you ever wanted to disappear?
And join a monastery, go out and preach on Manic Street?
Who will I be when I wake up next to a stranger
On a passenger plane? (Passenger plane)
[Pre-Chorus: Brendon Urie & Patrick Stump]
Oh, permanent jet lag, please take me back (Please take me back)
Please take me back, (oh, ohh)
I'm a stray dog sick, please let me in (Please let me in)
The mad key's tripping, singing vows before we exchange smoke rings
[Chorus: Patrick Stump, Patrick Stump & Brendon Urie]
Give me a pen, call me Mr. Benzedrine
But don't let the doctor in, I wanna blow off steam and
Call me Mr. Benzedrine (Mr. Benzedrine)
But don't let the doctor, (oh, oh) don't let the doctor in (whoa)
[Verse 2: Patrick Stump]
It feels like fourteen carats, but no clarity
When I look at the man who would be king, the man who would be king
Goes to the desert, the same war his dad rehearsed
Came back with flags on coffins and said, "We won, oh, we won"
[Pre-Chorus: Brendon Urie & Patrick Stump]
Permanent jet lag, please take me back (Please take me back)
Please take me back, (ooh, ooh)
I'm a stray dog sick, please let me in (Please let me in)
The mad key's tripping, singing vows before we exchange smoke rings
[Chorus: Patrick Stump, Patrick Stump & Brendon Urie]
Give me a pen, call me Mr. Benzedrine
But don't let the doctor in, I wanna blow off steam and
Call me Mr. Benzedrine (Mr. Benzedrine)
But don't let the doctor (Ooh), don't let the doctor in (Ooh, oh)
[Bridge: Patrick Stump]
Ba ba ba ba Benzedrine, my my my Benzedrine
Ba ba ba ba ba Benzedrine, ahh
Ba ba ba ba Benzedrine, bla bla bla Benzedrine
Ba ba ba ba ba Benzedrine, ahh
[Verse 3: Patrick Stump]
Only one book really matters, the rest
Of the proof is on the television, on the
[Chorus: Patrick Stump, Patrick Stump & Brendon Urie]
Woo! Call me Mr. Benzedrine
But don't let the doctor in, I wanna blow off steam and
Call me Mr. Benzedrine (Mr. Benzedrine)
But don't let the doctor, (oh) don't let the doctor in (oh, uh huh, ooh)
[Outro: Patrick Stump]
Have you ever wanted to disappear?
[Spoken: Pete Wentz]
It's not me, it's you
Actually, it's the taxidermy of you and me
Untie the balloons from around my neck
And ground me
I'm just a racehorse on the track
Send me back, to the glue factory
Always thought I'd float away
And never come back
But I've got enough miles on my card
To fly the boys home on my own
But you know me, I like being all alone
And keeping you all alone
And the charts are boring, and the kids are snoring
And my ego's in a sling
You say you're not listening and I said I'm wishing
And I said…I said!
