Artist/Band: Fall Out Boy
Lyrics for Song: I've Got A Dark Alley And A Bad Idea That Says You
Lyrics for Album: From Under The Cork Tree (2005)



Joke me something awful just like kisses on the neck of "just friends"
We're the kids who feel like dead ends
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
I took a shot and didn't even come close
At trust and love and hope
And the poets are just kids who didn't make it
Who never had it at all

And the record won't stop skipping
And the lies just won't stop slipping
And besides my reputations on the line
We can fake it for the airwaves
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
From comparing myself to everyone else around me

Please put the doctor on the phone because I'm not making and sense

Blame everyone but me for this mess
And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart
We never seemed so far
I'm hopelessly hopeful you're just hopeless enough
But we never had it at all

And the record won't stop skipping
And the lies just won't stop slipping
And besides my reputations on the line
We can fake it for the airwaves
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
From comparing myself to everyone else around me

to everyone else around me
everyone else around me
everyone else around me


I've Got A Dark Alley And A Bad Idea That Says You

From the 2005 album From Under The Cork Tree, this track exemplifies Fall Out Boy's mid-2000s pop-punk sound, blending melodic hooks with the band's signature emotional intensity. The song features a driving rhythm section and a vocal performance that balances aggression with vulnerability, characteristic of the era's alternative rock landscape. It serves as a standout moment on the record, showcasing the group's ability to craft anthemic choruses while maintaining a darker, more introspective tone than their earlier work. The composition reflects the band's evolution during this period, incorporating elements of electronic production alongside traditional rock instrumentation to create a polished yet raw listening experience.
