STAY WITH YOU
These streets
Turn me inside out
Everything shines
But leaves me empty still
And I'll, burn this lonely house down
If you run with me
If you run with me


I'll stay with you
The walls will fall before we do
Take my hand now
We'll run forever
I can feel the storm inside you
I'll stay with you


Fooled by my own desires
I twist my fate
Just to feel you
But you, turn me toward the light
And you're one with me
Will you run with me?


I'll stay with you
The walls will fall before we do
Take my hand now
We'll run forever
I can feel the storm inside you
I'll stay with you


Now come in from this storm
I taste you sweet and warm
Take what you need
Take what you need
From me


Wake up this world
Wake up tonight
And run with me
Run to me now


I'll stay with you
The walls will fall before we do
Take my hand now
We'll run forever
I can feel the storm inside you
I'll stay with you

LET LOVE IN
You wait, wanting this world
To let you in
And you stand there
A frozen light
In dark and empty streets
You smile hiding behind
A God-given face
But I know you're so much more
Everything they ignore
Is all that I need to believe


You're the only one I ever believed in
The answer that could never be found
The moment you decided to let love in
Now I'm banging on the door of an angel
The end of fear is where we begin
The moment we decided to let love in


I wish
Wishing for you to find your way
And I'll hold on for all you need
That's all we need to say
I'll take my chances while
You take your time with
This game you play
But I can't control your soul
You need to let me know
You leaving or you gonna stay


You're the only one I ever believed in
The answer that could never be found
The moment you decided to let love in
Now I'm banging on the door of an angel
The end of fear is where we begin
The moment we decided to let love in


There's nothing we can do about
The things we have to do without
The only way to feel again
Is let love in


There's nothing we can do about
The things we have to live without
The only way to see again
Is let love in


You're the only one I ever believed in
The answer that could never be found
The moment you decided to let love in
Now I'm banging on the door of an angel
The end of fear is where we begin
The moment we decided to let love in

FEEL THE SILENCE


You lie awake at night
With blue eyes that never cry
All you remember now
Is what you feel


The truth remains
In midnight conversations
I asked for this moment
But you turned away


Sad like a lonely child
Broken the day you're born
I held the light to you
But I was so vain


And you remain
A promise unfulfilled
I ask you for more
But you push me away


And if we feel the silence
Holding this all inside
Everything means more now than
Words could explain


And if we feel the silence
Holding this all inside us
Looking for something more to say
I don't know where I'm going
Only know where I been
But you move through my soul like a hurricane wind
We've been so lost for so long
I don't know how to get back again
And we're drowning in the water
That flows under this bridge
When you're fighting the current
You forget how to live
And I wanted to reach you but I don't know where to begin
And you remain
A promise unfulfilled until today


And if we feel the silence
Holding this all inside
Everything means more now than
Words could explain
And if we feel the silence
Leaving this all behind us
When it's gone what will you say


How do we hold on
How do we hold on
How do we hold on
How do we hold on
How do we hold on


You lie awake at night With blue eyes that never cry

BETTER DAYS
And you asked me what I want this year
And I'll try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe
We'll find better days


'Cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
Designer love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe
We'll find better days


So take these words
And sing out loud
'Cause tonight's the night
The world begins again


I need someplace simple where we could live
And something only you could give
And that's faith and trust and peace while we're
Alive


And the one poor child who saved this world
There's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them


I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll
Find better days

WITHOUT YOU HERE
Your love's a gathered storm I chased across the sky
A moment in your arms became the reason why
And you're still the only light that fills the emptiness
The only one I need until my dying breath
And I would give you everything just to
Feel your open arms
And I'm not sure I believe anything I feel


And now, now that you're near
There's nothing more without you
Without you here


And I'm trying to believe
In things that I don't know
The turning of the world
The color of your soul
That love could kill the pain
Truth is never vain
It turns strangers into lovers
And enemies to brothers
Just say you understand
I never had this planned


And now, now that you're near
There's nothing more without you
Without you here
Without you here
There's nothing more without you
Without you here


My head lies to my heart
And my heart it still believes
It seems the ones who love us are the ones
That we deceive
But you're changing everything
You're changing everything in me


And now, now that you're near
There's nothing more without you
Without you here


back to top

LISTEN
Why are you so green
How can you say that to me?
When did you fall from grace?
You've got a dirty face
And it's killin' me


Why don't you listen?
Why don't you listen to me?
I'm drownin' but I never felt so free


Can you follow me?
Will you justify me please?
Said you're wrong
Said you're gone
I'll guess I'll wait another night
For what you're gonna say
Back to me


Why don't you listen?
Why don't you listen to me?
I'm drownin' but I never felt so free


And I try
But I never try too long
When you're gone


Why don't you listen?
Why don't you listen to me?
I'm drownin' but I never felt so free


Why don't you listen / hear what you're missin'

GIVE A LITTLE BIT
As originally recorded by Supertramp

back to top

CAN'T LET IT GO


You said you'd light a candle
And you'd say a prayer for me
I feel the light has dimmed and gone
Half the world is begging
While the other half steals
Why is everything so wrong?


Some days I can't believe
Others I'm on my knees
Trying to be heard


I was your anger
And you were my fear
Now that it's over
Of course it's so clear
But you were no angel
And I was no sin
Somehow I can't let you go
I can't let you go again


And half the world is sleeping
While the other half dreams
You close your eyes
And then you're gone
And maybe my intentions
Have been misunderstood
I know you feel so beautifully wronged


Some days I can't believe
Others I'm on my knees
Hoping I belong


I was your anger
And you were my fear
Now that it's over
Of course it's so clear
But you were no angel
And I was no sin
Somehow I can't let you go
I can't let you go again


And laughter is my soul's release
But we're not smiling anymore
Can't we try to win this peace
'Cause we're never gonna win
Never gonna win this war


I was your anger
And you were my fear
Now that it's over
Of course it's so clear
But you were no angel
And I was no sin
Somehow I can't let you go
I can't let you go again

WE'LL BE HERE { WHEN YOU'RE GONE }
And through the fence I see a ghost
Of a place that used to breathe
You know it choked away the sun
But we still had food to eat


And now everyone is gone
To a place that won't be home
Can they keep their family strong?
Will they make it on their own?


And we'll be standing when you're gone
And we'll be heard again
We missed our chance but not for long
I know somehow we will hold on we'll be here
When you're gone


Then one day we realized
That they couldn't hear our voice
And it's so hard to understand
When it's caught up in the noise


But the ones who fight and die
Are the truth inside the lie
Now it's all built on our backs
And we struggle to survive


And we'll be standing when you're gone
And we'll be heard again
We missed our chance but not for long
I know somehow we will hold on we'll be here
When you're gone

STRANGE LOVE
You're likin' what I say
Guess I was afraid you'd run away now
I'm loyal like a stray
Never gonna turn and run away now
A passion junkie's fix is never satisfied
You're never gonna break his heart so have some fun abuse it


Strange Love
You're a Strange One


You washed away your yesterday
I saw you cleanin' up
A bucket full of doubts
And a little bit of power grabbin'
When it's all done
What are you gonna do
With you


A passion junkie's dog ain't got a collar on
He's never gonna break so go ahead and shake him


Strange Love
Breaks Us Down
Strange Love
Though nothing's gonna break us now


And you're actin' suprised
Oh, all of the time
Into your charms
Slips my life


Strange Love
Breaks Us Down
Strange Love
Though nothing's gonna break us now

BECOME
There's so much more about you that you never let them see
You turn away
But not to me
And I know how they tried to take you
Held you up and meant to break you down
But you can't be


For so long I tried to reach you
I know I'm almost there
I'm close enough for you to see


You've been hiding in the shadows
Have you forgotten how we used to dream
Let me remind you
The light doesn't blind you at all
It just helps you see
Can you see


Yeah you have become
Yeah you have become beautiful


And I can't be the stranger
That's been sleeping in your bed just
Turn around and come to me
I feel all the pain inside
And everything you been denied you feel
It's all you feel


You've been hiding in the shadows
Have you forgotten how we used to dream
Let me remind you
The light doesn't blind you at all
It helps you see
Can you see


Yeah you have become
Yeah you have become beautiful
Yeah you have become
Yeah you have become beautiful


Brush back your hair and look around you
Feeling like the truth has found you here
You're here with me
Let love become the mirror
With no fear where you're from
You have become beautiful

BIG MACHINE
Ecstasy is all you need
Living in the big machine
Oh you're so vain
Now your world is way too fast
Nothing's real and nothing lasts
And I'm aware
I'm in love and you don't care
Turn your anger into lust
I'm still here but you don't trust at all
And I'll be waiting
Love and sex and loneliness
Take what's yours and leave the rest
So I'll survive
God it's good to be alive
I'm torn in pieces
I'm blind and waiting for you
My heart is reeling
I'm blind and waiting for you

Still in love with all your sins
Where you stop and I begin
And I'll be waiting
Living like a house on fire
What you fear is your desire
It's hard to deal
I still love the way you feel
Now this angry little girl
Drowning in this petty world
Oh who you run to
Swallow all your bitter pills
That's what makes you beautiful
You're all or not
I don't need what you ain't got

I'm torn in pieces
I'm blind and waiting for you
My heart is reeling
I'm blind and waiting for you

I'm blind and waiting for you
I'm blind and waiting for you

THINK ABOUT ME
You take a lot of chances with your feelings
No one really knows what you feel
And fiction is the only way you're dealing
You turn your pretty head if it gets real

You take it so slowly
And your eyes look so lonely
And it's only when you think about me
Oh yeah
When you think about me
Think about me

I got head don't let me sleep
You got secret I can't keep
You see a little stranger in your mirror
The girl you never know is what you fear
You take is to so slowly
And your eyes look so lonely
But it's only when you think about me

Oh yeah
When you think about me
Think about me
All you want is something I can't be
All you want from me is what you need
And I'm saying

You take it so slowly
And your eyes look so lonely
But it's only oh you, take it so slowly
Now it's only 'bout me
When you think about me
Think about me
When you think about me
Oh yeah
When you think about me
Think about me
When you think about me

HERE IS GONE

Watch : Win Lo - Win Hi

You and I got something
But it's all and then it's nothing to me
And I got my defenses
When it comes to your intentions for me
And we wake up in the breakdown
Of the things we never thought we could be

I'm not the one who broke you
I'm not the one you should fear
What do you got to move you darling
I thought I lost you somewhere
But you were never really ever there at all

Chorus:
And I want to get free talk to me
I can feel you falling
And I wanted to be all you need
Somehow here is gone

I have no solution
To the sound of this pollution in me
And I was not the answer
So forget you ever thought it was me

I'm not the one who broke you
I'm not the one you should fear
What do you got to move you darling
I thought I lost you somewhere
But you were never really ever there at all

Chorus

And I don't need the fallout of all the past
That's here between us
And I'm not holding on
And all your lies weren't enough to keep me here

Chorus

And I want to get free talk to me
I can feel you falling
I know it's out there
I know it's out there
I can feel you fallingV I know it's out there
I know it's out there
Somehow here is gone

YOU NEVER KNOW
You never know
some folks think the world just moves too slow
But was it you?
Who told me I'm your everything

Chorus:
You hit me like I never felt before
Hit me like a sucker punch, you're rotten to the core
You know you hit me like I've never felt before
Silly for the last time

You never take
A promise from a man who sheds his skin
You had to wait
For my achin' heart to break

Chorus

Oh, everyone gets angry
I feel it when you're holdin' me
But in the right place, at the right time, to the right degree
It's a breeding ground
For the pain i've found
From dealin' with your scene
And you know that ain't easy

back to top

WHAT A SCENE
When you're feeling all wrong in the back of your mind again
How does it feel
When you drop down everything's all the same
Saccharine caffeine nicotine gum
Yeah it tastes sweet but it's not for long
And I just think you thought it would be
When you're looking for truth on the cover of a magazine
How does it feel
When you find out what you're not gonna be
They give you your image and the things you believe
Open your eyes tell me what did you see
And I just think you thought it surreal

How does it feel when you're out on your own
And now it's too late to come home
And it's hard to be free when you're down on your knees
Take it easy till you make it alone

Now you're a supermarket punk rock television comedy
Out on the scene
Yeah I bit down now there's no hand to feed
And all the beautiful images lining your walls
Pop radio screaming down the halls
Now you think you found something real
When it's all about money and the things that you need
Live a big lie and they all believe
Now I just find that somehow obscene

How does it feel when you're out on your own
And now it's too late to come home
And it's hard to be free when you're down on your knees
Take it easy till you make it alone
Take it easy till you make it alone
What a scene
Yeah
When it's all been said before
And all been done
Take it easy till you make it alone
Take it easy til you make it alone

UP, UP, UP
Are you listenin' now?
Are you feelin' that way
Aren't you terrified?
Of wakin' up too tired to try again?

Are you happy now
That you've shut yourself down
Are you paralyzed
By all the nonsense that's gone down

I know you're gonna see these things some day

Sorry-eyed we spent so much of your time
Now I'm tryin' to put your riddle to a rhyme
Now it's up up up I'm headin for this evenin'
And it's up up up I'm headed for the clouds

Comin' down ain't the worst part
It only takes a second
To make a change that's gonna last

I hope you're gonna see these things some day
So don't stop lookin' for that light along the way

Sorry that we've spent so much of your time
Now I'm tryin' to put your riddle to a rhyme
Now it's up up up and headin' for this evenin'
And it's up up up I'm headed for the clouds

IT'S OVER
And I didn't think about
All the ways I hurt you and myself
And I wouldn't say a thing to you
I keep it to myself in
My mind
And I can't stand without you
And I won't find the answers
When you're gone
But it's over to you
I can't find the answer when you're gone
And it's over to you
But you can't find the answer where you are
And you know I need you now
And this ain't easy to admit
But no one needs to know
What goes on behind
The door in my room
I'm kicking through the
Walls in my mind
And I can't stand without you
And I won't find the answers
When you're gone
But it's over to you
I can't find the answer when you're gone
And it's over to you
You can't find the answer where you are

I won't tear you down
I won't tear you down
To get inside the world you wanted
I'm kicking through the walls
But no one can believe
In things that never change
But it's over to you
I can't find the answer when you're gone
And it's over to you
You can't find the answers where you are
And it's over to you
I can't find the answer when you're gone
And it's over to you

SYMPATHY

Listen : Win - Real
Watch : Win - Real

Stranger than your sympathy
This is my apology
I'm killing myself from the inside out
And all my fears have pushed you out

I wish for things that I don't need
All I wanted
And what I chase won't set me free
All I wanted
And I get scared but I'm not crawling on my knees

Oh yeah everything's all wrong yeah
Everything's all wrong yeah
Where the hell did I think I was

Stranger than your sympathy
I take these things so I don't feel
I'm killing myself from the inside out
Now my head's been filled with doubt

It's hard to lead the life you choose
All I wanted
When all your luck's run out on you
All I wanted
You can't see when all your dreams are coming true

Oh yeah it's easy to forget yeah
You choke on the regrets yeah
Who the hell did I think I was

Stranger than your sympathy
All these thoughts you stole from me
I'm not sure where I belong
Nowhere's home and I'm all wrong

And I wasn't all the things
I tried to make believe I was
And I wouldn't be the one to kneel
Before the dreams I wanted
And all the talk and all the lies
Were all the empty things disguised as me
Yeah stranger than your sympathy stranger than your sympathy

WHAT DO YOU NEED?
What do you need from me tonight
I feel you look right through me now
I can't pretend it's alright
Maybe we'll find a way somehow

Why do you need to turn it on
Why does it always feel so wrong

What do you need from me tonight
The truth is so complicated now
You feel so free to say
You're wrong

Fear makes you fragile darling
Hate is so heavy when you're weak
Now we're both lost in anger
When we're alone we'll
Find some peace

Why do we need to turn it on
Why does it always feel so wrong

What do you need from me tonight
The truth is so complicated now
You feel so free to say
You're wrong

Why do we need to turn it on
Why does it always feel so wrong

What do you need from me tonight
The truth is so complicated now
You feel so free to say
You're wrong, you're wrong
You're wrong, you're wrong

What do you need from me tonight
The truth is so complicated now
You feel so free to say
You're wrong

Everytime I see you pickin' at yourself

Smash. . .I heard ya cryin'
Seven times this year
Crash. . .but now you're smilin'
Holdin' back your tears

Everytime i see you pickin' at yourself

Everytime I see you torturin' yourself

Right back where I want to be right now

TUCKED AWAY
Well I saw you once
Then I blew it for the next ten thousand days
Shoulda packed away

I needed to go back and show you
I needed to go back, I know it's wrong
I'll have to get along

Chorus:
Mama just called and said she's tucked away
Mama just called and said she's tucked away another day
Her mama just called and said she's tucked away
Her momma just called and said she's extra sad today

Well I spent the whole day yesterday on cliches about love
Makin' me remember when your pushes became shoves

I wanted to go back and show you
I needed to go back, I know it's wrong
I'll have to get along

Chorus

Now why'd you go and play my trust
Today's the same as yesterday
And I'm okay
I'll take a doctor's recommended time to get along
Since you've been gone
I'll get along oh any way at all

TRUTH IS A WHISPER
Truth is a whisper and only a choice
Nobody hears above this noise
Always a risk when you try and believe
I know there's so much more than me

Yeah I got caught in the ruse of the world
It's just a promise no one ever keeps
And now it's changing while we sleep
And no one can see

Chorus:
You know all I am
Feel this moment in you
You know all I am
Can you teach me to believe in something

Sometimes you choke on the smell
Just to breathe
I need to question what I need
Rhythm of silence
That beats through your mind
Still you forget what you deny

Yeah I got caught in the ruse of the world
It's just a promise no one keeps
And now it's changing while we sleep
And no one can see

Chorus

Who's the one you answer to
Do you listen when he speaks
Or is everything for you
And do you find it hard to sleep
Or is it easy on your own
Will you ever find some peace
Before you're gone

BULLET PROOF
Do you listen to yourself
Never live for someone else
Do you like the way you feel
Nothing hurts when no one's real
She wants to shake this scene
Yeah she wants to shake with me
She's not looking for the holes in all the lies

I wanna bullet proof your soul
Would you like to lose control
I won't let you fall until you tell me so

What are we
Everything
All I need
I've know before

Would you come my way
Or did you burn out to the end
Would you come my way
Should have listened when you called my name

Yeah she wants to tear you down
And she leaves without a sound
It's like falling backwards
Into no one's arms

You're a bullet through my soul
And I'll never let you know
I won't let you fall until you let it go

What are we
Everything
All I need
I've known before

Would you come my way
Or did you burn out to the end
Would you come my way
Should have listened when you called my name

ALL EYES ON ME
Daylight burns your sleepy eyes and
It's hard to see you dreaming
You hide inside yourself and
I wondered what you're thinking
And everything you're chasing
It seems to leave you empty

And it won't take long to burn
Through the nothing that you've learned
And the things you choose to be
All eyes on me

But your eyes look away
It's so hard to be someone
Strung out from today
And all that you knew slips away

You drown in deeper oceans
Inventing new religions
They smile and stab my back and
I lie and have to laugh

And it won't take long to burn
Through the nothing that you've learned
And the things you choose to be
All eyes on me

But your eyes look away
It's so hard to be someone
Strung out from today
And all that you knew slips away

And you hide in your room
And the light burned away
And you move from the truth
It's all so far from you

AMIGONE
Every time you point your finger
Three more point right back at you
I'm not saying that it's something wrong with life
Cause that's a sad excuse
And age old game of rat and mouse
Chasing us from house to house
I'm not saying that there's something wrong with you
It's wrong with me as well

Are you alive
Amigone
Is it to late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone
Was the poison in our love there all along
Amigone

Heavenly intoxication
Love's been marred by medication
Ain't it funny how a life can take a turn
When the end is near

Are you alive
Amigone
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone
Is it too late to face the truth that it was wrong
Amigone

I ain't saying that it's something
I ain,t gonna play along
I ain't wishing for a miracle
That miracle's gone wrong
And you're too strong

Amigone
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone
Was the poison in our love there all along
Are you alive
Amigone
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive

Was the poison in our love there all along

ACOUSTIC #3
They painted up your secrets
With the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew

And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming
No one's listening anyway

Your voice is small and fading
And you hide in here unknown
And your mother loves your father
Cause she's got nowhere to go

And she wonders where these dreams go
Cause the world got in her way
What's the point in ever trying
Nothing's changing anyway

They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you're falling anyway

And you know I see right through you
Cause the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming
You're not listening anyway

NAKED
Yeah I'm fadin
And I call out
No one hears me
Never been never felt never thought I'd say a word

Weighed
Down
Safe
Now

You're naked inside your fear
You can't take back all those years
The shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone

Yeah I'm hiding
in the fallout
Now I'm wasted
They don't need me don't want me don't hear a word I say

Weighed
Down
Safe
Now

You're naked inside your fear
You can't take back all those years
Shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone

Inside your head
No one's there
And I don't think I'll ever be
And I don't care

You're naked inside your fear
You can't take back all those years
The shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone

AIN'T THAT UNUSUAL
Could you talk to me
Honestly
Cause I never heard a word you said now
And I ain't just being mean
Cause all we are is what we're told
And most of that's been lies
It's like a made for TV movie
And I just blew my line

Someday you never made it
and maybe it never will
Hey, you never made it
Ain't that unusual

Now I feel unknown
And it's safe that way
Are you too bored to care or too dumb to be scared now
What's that supposed to mean

I'm burned out on some empty reasons
Another waste of time
There's somethin' that I wish I'd said
But I don't think it'd rhyme

Someday you never made it
and maybe it never will
Hey, you never made it
And ain't that unusual

See I'd love to be you
At least then I'd see you
Sorry I put them words in your mouth
But you wouldn't talk to me

And everyhing, I want haven't got
I'm sick of everything now I'm not
I put my heavy coat on for a while
It's freezing in the corner of my mind

Someday you never made it
and maybe it never will
Hey, you never made it
Ain't that unusual?

BURNIN' UP
Said you're burnin up inside, no one seems to tell
You're living from a personalized manual from hell
Life seems pretty easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin up inside and no one cares

Said you had enough this time cause time don't treat you well
You always cried coincidence while I drew parallels
Life it seems so easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin up inside and you hurt me

Come and take my hand tonight I'll show you where to start
Cause every word that left your lips like a needle through my heart
And life it seems so easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin'up inside and you hurt my eyes

FLAT TOP
Flat top intervention
Bringing home the new invention
See it there in pieces on the ground
A television war between the cynics and the saints
Flip the dial and that's whose side you're on
Sleeping on the white house lawn ain't never changed a thing
Look at all the washed out hippie dreams

And it's falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Falling all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while

Tabloid generation's lost
Choking on it's fear
Used to be that's all we had to fear
conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak
There's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the streets
A visionary coward says that anger can be power
As long as there's a victim on tv

And it's falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us
Falling all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while

And my dirty dreams all come alive
On my TV screen
And assassination plots
Show me what I haven't got
Show me what I love and who I'm supposed to be
Show me everything I need
Show it all to me

And it's falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Falling all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while

NAME
And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away

And now we're grown up orphans
That never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
But if you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name

And I won't tell em your name

Scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are

You grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell em your name

I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are come back down
And I won't tell em your name

FALLIN' DOWN
Do you know, where you want to go
I ain't got time for it now
Do you think, that I'll ever be

Cause all I ever wanted so far gone
And if I had my chance, I'd go along

You're making me fall down
I'm fallin' down again
I wish you could fall down
Can you catch me darling

Do you see, what you do to me
You ain't got time for it now
Do you think, that I'll ever be

Cause all I ever wanted so far gone
And if I had my chance I'd go along

You're making me fall down
I'm falling down again
I wish you could fall down
Can you catch me darling

ANOTHER SECOND TIME AROUND
Happy smiling crying all put to my past
I guess those stormy gray skies simply couldn't last
And now I find myself tugging at your dress
The thought of holding you down or seeing you frown is never gonna pass

Somewhere there's a place a soul can never go
Gray like stormy skies I hoped you didn't know
All on postcards full of things I won't forget
And now it's coming down that laughing clown is all I ever get

Another second time around I've been running from ya
Another second time around
Another second, one more second time I waited for ya
Another second time around

Couldn't help myself
I felt like everything was gonna pass
It was an awkward time
I hoped it wouldn't, hoped it couldn't last

And I didn't know exactly what to say
About the things you saw me do my evil way
And I know you're lying crying in your bed
While I'm all tired out so wired out it's ringing in my head
Another second time around I've been running from ya
Another second time around
Another second, one more second time I waited for ya
Another second time around

'CUZ YOU'RE GONE
You whispered in my mouth
And I spit you words right back
How good do you think I'll look
When the words start to break and crack

You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
'Cause you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad and I don't know how
No I don't know how

Cuz you're gone and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone and you ain't coming back

You held your hand so close
And I just can't push you away
I wished you could be my girl
But you're stuck in your a grown-up world

You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
Cause you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know how
No I don't know how

Cuz you're gone and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone and you ain't coming back

You beat your head upon your wall

WE ARE THE NORMAL
It's a beautiful day I heard everybody say
The sun shines down for all of us
Just the same you know I like the rain
That ain't so obvious
It's a beautiful sight I guess everybody's right
This day belongs to all of us
Even still I like with a chill
That ain't so obvious

We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why

It's a beautiful life and I've got it in my sights
And that ain't for all of us
It's a beautiful sound
My life comes crashing down
That ain't so obvious
It's a beautiful sin and I'm doing it again
And that ain't for all of us
It's a beautiful life and I've got it in my sights
Ain't that so obvious

We are the normal
We live and we die

GIRL RIGHT NEXT TO ME
You changed my face, I think I like it better now
It doesn't matter anyhow, cause that's the way it is
You said hello where the hell you been?
I said I feel like I've been off to war and I may never be the same again

I made my bed but now I can't sleep at night
I'm tossing and turning you know you know it ain't right
I'd love to beg, see, but I'm just too proud
And I don't even know what to say so I'm thinking out loud

And when you dream 17
I ain't there so I don't care
Cause in all my dreams, I'm 23
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

I lie in my bed you're running through my head
Going over and over and over the things that you said
I'm caught in the trap I'll run like hell right back to you
Cause I'm sober with you and you know it beats drinking alone

And when you dream 17
I ain't there so I don't care
Cause in all my dreams I'm 23
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

LUCKY STAR
If I could walk a straight mile
And write it down in shorthand I could show you
If you want me to
And if I had an hourglass
I'd save the grains of time I spent with you
That's what I'd do

But I remember
You always said it could be great
And I knew it could be

Well there's a way you look at things
That no one needs to know but you
And you shared them with me
Like every time the leaves would fall
You promised me that they'd be back again
And I believed in you

You always said it could be great
But I hadn't time to waste
Now it seems that I've gone too far

As bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star
Bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star

Written down in hard bound books
The way things used to be they ain't for me
I'd swear they're all for you
Ri said sugar, gram said shoot
Her mom said shit I don't know what she'll do
As if it's up to you

But I remember
You always said it could be great
But I hadn't time to waste
Now it seems that you've gone too far
As bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star
Bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star
Your lucky star will burn you
Your lucky star can turn you 'round
Your lucky star will burn out
Your lucky star can turn you 'round

ON THE LIE
He burnt down the house one night
He had a loaded sixpack gun
He said that jesus christ was just like a cop
You know you never know when they'll come
She said every day above ground
Was another dream come true
He said I'd hang and swap cliches all night
But I'm not in love with you

And I never got serious
Til everything went black
And I ain't so curious
That I'm ever going back

On the lie

He said man you want to be Elvis
I said I ain't dying face down
He said you've got to die facing up in the world
Cause there's too many holes around
He asked what was wrong with me
He said I looked like a hollywood girl
I said that hollywood can fall into the ocean, man
Cause it's the ugliest place in the whole wide world

And I never got serious
Til everything went black
And I ain't so curious
That I'm ever going back

On the lie

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
I'm in love because I know you
And I'm sorry I don't show you
And if I find that you ain't by me
I'm afraid no one will know the things you see
How could you believe in someone sorry and sad like me
I know the deal and I thank you anyways
And if you leave you know I'm crawling at your feet
You never get weak when I'm leaning hard on you

And I guess that's just the way you are

And all the things that you don't show me
Like when you pretend that you don't know me
I waste a dime and I can't call you
I'll spend a lifetime if I fall for you
How could you believe in someone sorry and sad like me
I know the deal and I thank you anyways
And if you leave you know I'm crawling at your feet
You never get weak when I'm leaning hard on you

And I guess that's just the way you are

TWO DAYS IN FEBRUARY
I hung your picture on the wall and that's all it is
I break my fingers to make a call and that's all it is
I know you're living way out west and I don't think that I confessed
Everything I feel

You say you got no faith in things that you can't see
Well I'm sorry I ain't there with you but you ain't here with me
And I'm down in all my fears
But I ain't crying no tears over you

Cause everything's wrong
Well it's all right
Everything's wrong
Well it's all right

You said that this is crazy you're a half a world away
Well I'm sitting and I'm thinking but I didn't know what to say
So I said something I can't touch, I always want way too much
Anyway

Cause everything's wrong
Well it's all right
Everything's wrong
Well it's all right

I hung your picture on the wall but that's all it is
I break my fingers to make a call and that's all it is
I know you're living way out west
Don't get me wrong I'm not impressed
With you no more

LAUGHING
I wake up I'm staring at the clock
My belly hurts and my head is like a rock
I get up to see what I can see
Furthest I got was my black and white TV
Eyewitness News brought to you at noon
Oh my God guess I got up too soon because

Oh I feel like laughing
All because of you

I didn't mean to wear this disguise
But I can't stand the look in my eyes
Oh I didn't mean to lie
I was doing what I thought was right
Come on walk on down the line
You'll be walking till the end of time because

Oh I feel like laughing
All because of you

THERE YOU ARE
Give me a reason now that I can understand
Pick up the pieces now and put them in my hand
I've been up and down for you
My suffering extreme
I fell on my face for you
Now I know what it means
And I self destruct
I close my eyes and there

There you are

Yeah you can run out west, forget you know my name
You say you got your shit together, but you ain't got no faith
Method in madness
Now there's madness in my soul
I'd run from the darkness now
I've got no place to go
And I self destruct
I close my eyes and there

Sit right down

And you say here comes the end
And you haven't got a friend
And I'm standing here just screaming at the wall

Up yours
Stop your whine
What ya got
I got mine
And you shake your stupid head
And you wish that you were dead
And I swear sometimes you're happier than me

And you know it's hard to be
All the things you want me to be
And you go and make it hard on me
But I swear that anything you could be I could be can't you see

Up yours

I'M ADDICTED
Walking round this dirty town
Drinking up till we fall down
Don't want to live forever this way
But it's gonna have to do for today
I'm addicted as I want to be

Waiting for their hurried call
I got my back against the wall
Don't wait to be shown
Go out and learn your own
I'm addicted as I want to be

Waiting for their hurried call
Got my back against the wall
Don't want to be shown
Go out and learn your own
I'm addicted as I want to be

DIZZY
You're cynical and beautiful
You always make a scene
You're monochrome delirious
You're nothing that you seem
I'm drowning in your vanity
Your laugh is a disease
You're dirty and you're sweet
You know you're everything to me

Everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are

I wanna kick at the machine
That made you piss away your dreams
Tear down your defenses
Til' there's nothing there but me
You're angry when you're beautiful
Your love is such a tease
I'm drowning in your dizzy noise
I wanna feel you scream

Everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are

SLIDE
Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel
I'll give you anything
To feel it coming
Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are
You live with all your faults

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide

Yeah were gonna let it slide

Don't you love the life you killed
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you
Don't supposed I'll ever know
What it means to be a man
Something I can't change
I'll live around it

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide

And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
Oh may
Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh May
Do you wanna get married or run away

And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
Oh may
Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh may
Do you wanna get married or run away
I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all

BROADWAY
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting in the old man's bar
Waiting for his turn to die

The cowboy kills the rock star
And Friday night's gone too far
The dim light hides the years
On all the faded girls

Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world
Like it's someplace that you've been

You see you'd love to run home but you know you ain't got one
Cause you're living in a world that you're best forgotten around here

Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting in the old man's bar
Waiting for his turn to die

You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
You pray to statues when you sober up for fun
You're anger don't impress me
The world slapped in your face
It always rains like hell on the loser's day parade

You see you'd love to run home, but you know ain't got one
Cause you're living in a world that you're best forgotten
When you're thinking you're a joke and nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point I know they've been missing around here

Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting in the old man's bar
Waiting for his turn to die

You see you'd love to run home but you know ain't got one
Cause you're living in a world that you're best forgotten
And if you're thinking you're a joke do you think that they'll listen
To the one small point I know they've been missing around here

Round here

A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting in the old man's bar

I wanna touch ya
Every single heart that beats

Cry Don't cry out loud
Gotta bear your cross but never dream too loud

Tied to the next time
You realize your crimes

BLACK BALLOON
Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking bout tomorrow
Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees

A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb

Coming down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer

You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallow the light from the sun
Inside your room

Coming down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Always someone. . .

And there's no time left for losing
When you stand they fall
Coming down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
All because I'm

Coming down the years turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go on now and lead you home and
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me

BULLET PROOF
Do you listen to yourself
Never live for someone else
Do you like the way you feel
Nothing hurts when no one's real
She wants to shake this scene
Yeah she wants to shake with me
She's not looking for the holes in all the lies

I wanna bullet proof your soul
Would you like to lose control
I won't let you fall until you tell me so

What are we
Everything
All I need
I've know before

Would you come my way
Or did you burn out to the end
Would you come my way
Should have listened when you called my name

Yeah she wants to tear you down
And she leaves without a sound
It's like falling backwards
Into no one's arms

You're a bullet through my soul
And I'll never let you know
I won't let you fall until you let it go

All I need
I've known before

AMIGONE
Every time you point your finger
Three more point right back at you
I'm not saying that it's something wrong with life
Cause that's a sad excuse
And age old game of rat and mouse
Chasing us from house to house
I'm not saying that there's something wrong with you
It's wrong with me as well

Are you alive
Amigone
Is it to late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone
Was the poison in our love there all along
Amigone

Heavenly intoxication
Love's been marred by medication
Ain't it funny how a life can take a turn
When the end is near

Are you alive
Amigone
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone
Is it too late to face the truth that it was wrong
Amigone

I ain't saying that it's something
I ain,t gonna play along
I ain't wishing for a miracle
That miracle's gone wrong
And you're too strong

Amigone
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone
Was the poison in our love there all along
Are you alive

ALL EYES ON ME
Daylight burns your sleepy eyes and
It's hard to see you dreaming
You hide inside yourself and
I wondered what you're thinking
And everything you're chasing
It seems to leave you empty

And it won't take long to burn
Through the nothing that you've learned
And the things you choose to be
All eyes on me

But your eyes look away
It's so hard to be someone
Strung out from today
And all that you knew slips away

You drown in deeper oceans
Inventing new religions
They smile and stab my back and
I lie and have to laugh

And it won't take long to burn
Through the nothing that you've learned
And the things you choose to be
All eyes on me

But your eyes look away
It's so hard to be someone
Strung out from today
And all that you knew slips away

And you hide in your room
And the light burned away
And you move from the truth
It's all so far from you

FULL FOREVER
And I've had to fight
Another blurred affair tonight
Eyelids wrestle once again
Never gonna see my friend
Guided by the blinding white

Have you left home in spite
Knowing I'm alone tonight
Waiting for the light of day
Doesn't matter anyway
It's nothing that I need to say

And I've gone underground
I'm never hanging round
Should have made it back again

Why can't the moon stay full forever
Wednesday's bad but Friday's ain't much better
Why can't the moon stay full forever
Right now she's got nothing on her mind

Will this neverland
Free me from its clutching hand
It won't release me

And I've gone underground
Obsessions I have found
Couldn't make it back again

Why can't the moon stay full forever
Wednesday's bad Friday's ain't much better
Why can't the moon stay full forever
Right now she's got nothing on her mind

ACOUSTIC #3
They painted up your secrets
With the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew

And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming
No one's listening anyway

Your voice is small and fading
And you hide in here unknown
And your mother loves your father
Cause she's got nowhere to go

And she wonders where these dreams go
Cause the world got in her way
What's the point in ever trying
Nothing's changing anyway

They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you're falling anyway

And you know I see right through you
Cause the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming
You're not listening anyway

IRIS
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

EXTRA PALE
Extra pale
Oh you're frail now
I couldn't laugh about it
Tragedy sets you free but
I should have known it from the start

Just another sequel
Just another reason for you

How's your day
Did it go your way but
You never ask about it
All the things I wish I'd be
I should have known it from the start
I should have known that it was

Just another sequel
Just another reason for you
Just another sequel
Just another reason for your sighs

Extra pale Oh you're frail now
I couldn't laugh about it
Tragedy sets you free
I should have known that it was
Just another sequel
Just another reason for you

HATE THIS PLACE
Gone away
Who knows where you been
You take all your lies
And wish them all away
I somehow doubt
We'll ever be the same
There's too much poison
And confusion on your face

Can you feel it
I didn't mean it
Can I see you
What are we doing
I think I love you
But I ain't saying nothing you don't know

Hold on dream away
You're my sweet charade

Take your time
Move yourself to me
Yeah I can take your lies
Until you fall away
You know I'm lost
Hiding in your bed
No I don't think it's wrong
It's just gone to my head
Can you feel it
I didn't mean it
Can I see it
What are we doing
I think I love you
But I ain't saying nothing you don't know

Hold on dream away
You're my sweet charade

Hey what you doing to me
Would you come back to me
Yeah I can't do another day
I'm not certain of it anyway
I ain't messing with another life
Can I get along without you
Tell me lies
That you know I need

Hold on dream away
You're my sweet charade

LONG WAY DOWN
Oh here you are there's nothing left to say
You're not supposed to be that way
Did they push you out
Did they throw you away

Touch me now and I don't care
When you take me I'm not there
Almost human but I'll never be the same

Long way down I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down I don't think I'll make it on my own

Never put you down I never pushed you away
You're not supposed to be that way
And anything you want there's nothing I could say

Is there anything to feel
Is it pain that makes you real
Cut me off before it kills me

Long way down I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down I don't think I'll make it on my own

I never put you down I never pushed you away
Take another piece of me
Give my mind a new disease
And the black and white world never fades to gray

Long way down I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down I don't think I'll make it on my own

BURNIN' UP
Said you're burnin up inside, no one seems to tell
You're living from a personalized manual from hell
Life seems pretty easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin up inside and no one cares

Said you had enough this time cause time don't treat you well
You always cried coincidence while I drew parallels
Life it seems so easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin up inside and you hurt me

Come and take my hand tonight I'll show you where to start
Cause every word that left your lips like a needle through my heart
And life it seems so easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin'up inside and you hurt my eyes

NAKED

Listen : Win - Real
Watch : Win - Real

Yeah I'm fadin
And I call out
No one hears me
Never been never felt never thought I'd say a word

Weighed
Down
Safe
Now

You're naked inside your fear
You can't take back all those years
The shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone

Yeah I'm hiding
in the fallout
Now I'm wasted
They don't need me don't want me don't hear a word I say

Weighed
Down
Safe
Now

You're naked inside your fear
You can't take back all those years
Shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone

Inside your head
No one's there
And I don't think I'll ever be
And I don't care

You're naked inside your fear
You can't take back all those years
The shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone

FLAT TOP

Listen : Win - Real
Watch : Win - Real

Flat top intervention
Bringing home the new invention
See it there in pieces on the ground
A television war between the cynics and the saints
Flip the dial and that's whose side you're on
Sleeping on the white house lawn ain't never changed a thing
Look at all the washed out hippie dreams

And it's falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Falling all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while

Tabloid generation's lost
Choking on it's fear
Used to be that's all we had to fear
conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak
There's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the streets
A visionary coward says that anger can be power
As long as there's a victim on tv

And it's falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us
Falling all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while

And my dirty dreams all come alive
On my TV screen
And assassination plots
Show me what I haven't got
Show me what I love and who I'm supposed to be
Show me everything I need
Show it all to me

And it's falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Falling all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while

IMPERSONALITY
When I was three feet tall
I loved them all
And lived life for myself
Falling down for laughs
Your photograph
Some puppets made of felt

Watching life in Oz Thanksgiving eve on grandma's old TV
Dancing roundabout I'd twist and shout for everyone to see

Impersonality
It's leaning hard on me

Momma's in a shop
Watching little sister by myself
Robbed a wishing pond
In a fleeting bond
Vowed to share the wealth

Scooping up the coins
A warning shot from some authority
Doesn't matter now but I'll shout out loud for everyone to see

Never got to know you
Did you ever wonder why
Now it's nice to know you
And I'm glad you're doing fine
Think of all the time lost
Was it really lost at all
Now I'm so proud of ya
I'd love to tell you all I see
Listen hard to your realities

Impersonality
It's leaning hard on me

NAME

Listen : Win - Real
Watch : Win - Real

And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away

And now we're grown up orphans
That never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
But if you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name

And I won't tell em your name

Scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are

You grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell em your name

I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are come back down
And I won't tell em your name

ONLY ONE
I'll open up my head awhile
Its been dead for years
Must have been a victim of my peers
One is for my happiness
The other for my health
The last is something bigger than myself

I ain't the only one to say

I'm talking to myself again
I'll just start a fight
Nobody can prove me wrong
I'm right
Anti-hero idol with a suicide excuse
A thousand other suckers will try and fill your shoes

I ain't the only one to say

Little pictures in my head
Turning inside out again
Cause fucking up takes practice I feel I'm well rehearsed

Because the past is a bully and the futures even worse
You tell me what you fear cause I can feel it like a curse

Well, you used to be a folk singer now you're just a joke singer
Ain't no smoking dope singer swinging from a rope singer

I ain't the only one to say

SOMETHIN' BAD
Well they're shutting all the shops up on the avenue
And they're holding up for cheaper Chinese food
If I'm older now and have a tainted attitude
Why'd those neon lights all lost their common blue

And it's not like me to feel so important
And it's not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I'd see it so exploited
Ah but I know that somethin bad has gotta change

Well I see them working round the block till six a.m.
The thermometer's at minus five degrees
And I'm wondering where all that hard earned money goes
To her head or towards a shred of dignity

And it's not like me to feel so important
And it's not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I'd see it so exploited
Ah but I know that somethin bad has gotta change

back to top

AIN'T THAT UNUSUAL
Could you talk to me
Honestly
Cause I never heard a word you said now
And I ain't just being mean
Cause all we are is what we're told
And most of that's been lies
It's like a made for TV movie
And I just blew my line

Someday you never made it
and maybe it never will
Hey, you never made it
Ain't that unusual

Now I feel unknown
And it's safe that way
Are you too bored to care or too dumb to be scared now
What's that supposed to mean

I'm burned out on some empty reasons
Another waste of time
There's somethin' that I wish I'd said
But I don't think it'd rhyme

Someday you never made it
and maybe it never will
Hey, you never made it
And ain't that unusual

See I'd love to be you
At least then I'd see you
Sorry I put them words in your mouth
But you wouldn't talk to me

And everything, I want haven't got
I'm sick of everything now I'm not
I put my heavy coat on for a while
It's freezing in the corner of my mind

Someday you never made it
and maybe it never will
Hey, you never made it
Ain't that unusual?

SO LONG
Don't take much looking back to know I took my coffee black then
Nothings different now but nothing seems the same and it's alright
Your optimistic views your hundred dollar running shoes and
Carpel tunnel syndrome we all had a laugh about it
I'd love to stick around but I gotta tell you all

So long
But I didn't wanna tell you all so long

Don't take much looking back to know I faked that heart attack then
And nothings different now but nothing seems the same and it's alright
You always spoke the truth from circa disco abba boots and
All that showbiz talk we all had a laugh about it
I'd love to stick around but I gotta tell you all

So long
But I didn't wanna tell you all so long

I gotta get back to where I belong

So long
But I didn't wanna tell you all so long

EYES WIDE OPEN
I'm a fortunate son of a fortunate son
Living large on the wrong side of town
Too many friends and the fun never ends
Drinking and hanging around
I wanna rule the world wanna swallow it whole
At least I could kick it all down

I wanna kick it all down

Eyes wide open I can't see
Eyes wide open what you mean
Eyes wide open I can't seem to be

I don't take the bus and I never walk too far
The furthest I got was my own backyard
With a fist full of cash that somebody else earned
Send me some more when it all got burned
I wanna take control wanna make it all mine
At least I could kick it all down

I wanna' kick it all down

Eyes wide open I can't see
Eyes wide open what you mean
Eyes wide open I can't seem to be

You never ever know

I'll get what I want if I make up my mind
I'm turning you inside out
I wanna rule the world wanna swallow it whole
I think I'll just kick it all down
I wanna kick it all down

Eyes wide open I can't see
Eyes wide open what you mean
Eyes wide open I can't seem to be

FALLING DOWN
Do you know, where you want to go
I ain't got time for it now
Do you think, that I'll ever be

Cause all I ever wanted so far gone
And if I had my chance, I'd go along

You're making me fall down
I'm fallin' down again
I wish you could fall down
Can you catch me darling

Do you see, what you do to me
You ain't got time for it now
Do you think, that I'll ever be

Cause all I ever wanted so far gone
And if I had my chance I'd go along

You're making me fall down
I'm falling down again
I wish you could fall down
Can you catch me darling

Cause all I ever wanted so far gone
And if I had my chance I'd go along

You're making me fall down
I'm falling down again

LUCKY STAR
If I could walk a straight mile
And write it down in shorthand I could show you
If you want me to
And if I had an hourglass
I'd save the grains of time I spent with you
That's what I'd do

But I remember
You always said it could be great
And I knew it could be

Well there's a way you look at things
That no one needs to know but you
And you shared them with me
Like every time the leaves would fall
You promised me that they'd be back again
And I believed in you

You always said it could be great
But I hadn't time to waste
Now it seems that I've gone too far

As bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star
Bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star

Written down in hard bound books
The way things used to be they ain't for me
I'd swear they're all for you
Ri said sugar, gram said shoot
Her mom said shit I don't know what she'll do
As if it's up to you

But I remember
You always said it could be great
But I hadn't time to waste
Now it seems that you've gone too far
As bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star
Bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star
Your lucky star will burn you
Your lucky star can turn you 'round
Your lucky star will burn out
Your lucky star can turn you 'round

CUZ YOU'RE GONE
You whispered in my mouth
And I spit your words right back
How good do you think I'll look
When the words start to break and crack

You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
'Cause you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad and I don't know how
No I don't know how

Cuz you're gone and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone and you ain't coming back

You held your hand so close
And I just can't push you away
I wished you could be my girl
But you're stuck in your a grown-up world

You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
Cause you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know how
No I don't know how

Cuz you're gone and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone and you ain't coming back

You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
Cause you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad and I don't know how
And I don't know how

Cuz you're gone and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone and I wish you'd come back

DON'T WORRY
I called you up all night til morning
Left my house by noon today
No one spoke, but we both listened
Heard every word you didn't say

And the sun shines all around us
Smells like summers on the way
Tell the story of a lifetime
Tomorrow brings a brand new day

Don't worry bout today
And the words that you said
Shake the world from your head
Least for a while

You say the days keeps getting longer
But my nights seem longer still
Watching repeats on my ceiling
Another hour left to kill
Don't worry bout today
And the words that you said
Shake the world from your head
Least for a while

GIRL RIGHT NEXT TO ME
You changed my face, I think I like it better now
It doesn't matter anyhow, cause that's the way it is
You said hello where the hell you been?
I said I feel like I've been off to war and I may never be the same again

I made my bed but now I can't sleep at night
I'm tossing and turning you know you know it ain't right
I'd love to beg, see, but I'm just too proud
And I don't even know what to say so I'm thinking out loud

And when you dream 17
I ain't there so I don't care
Cause in all my dreams, I'm 23
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

I lie in my bed you're running through my head
Going over and over and over the things that you said
I'm caught in the trap I'll run like hell right back to you
Cause I'm sober with you and you know it beats drinking alone

And when you dream 17
I ain't there so I don't care
Cause in all my dreams I'm 23
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

DOMINO
If you never had it then
You don't know how bad it is
Having nothing, liking it well
Neighbors talked and, I can tell but

Here comes the day I sit and wait
Oh it's always something
The bills keep coming the car ain't running
Now I'm thumbing home again
Another day, oh, the mailman's on his way
Just sit and wait
Always pondering my fate too late
Another day goes

I borrowed from you yesterday
Lent a bunch to you last may
No one minds I can tell
Seems I've picked the wrong seashell but

Here comes the day, I sit and wait
Oh it's always something
The bills keep coming, the car ain't running
Now I'm coming home again
Another day, the mailman's on his way
Just sit and wait
Always pondering my fate too late
Another day goes

Dominoes are falling still
As I know they always will
Dominoes a test of will

WE ARE THE NORMAL

Listen : Win - Real
Watch : Real

It's a beautiful day I heard everybody say
The sun shines down for all of us
Just the same you know I like the rain
That ain't so obvious
It's a beautiful sight I guess everybody's right
This day belongs to all of us
Even still I like with a chill
That ain't so obvious

We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why

It's a beautiful life and I've got it in my sights
And that ain't for all of us
It's a beautiful sound
My life comes crashing down
That ain't so obvious
It's a beautiful sin and I'm doing it again
And that ain't for all of us
It's a beautiful life and I've got it in my sights
Ain't that so obvious

We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why

STRING OF LIES
I've got no politics no influential friend or two
I've got ideas but it's nothing I picked up at school
I might be running but I'm never running back to you

And here's a letter from the real world I don't expect you'll reply
And anything you're gonna tell me it's just another lie

I had to wait so long that weeks and months that passed me by
You've got no power and my situation don't apply
You ask me how I am I lie and say I'm doing fine

And with your sugar sweetened alibi there was a truth I never knew
And all the attitude you gave me it's coming back to you

String of lies it's always compromise with you
String of lies you know there's nothing left to do
String of lies it's been a string of lies with you

And here's a letter from the real world I don't expect your reply
And anything you're gonna tell me it's just another lie

String of lies we always compromise for you
String of lies you know there's nothing left to do
String of lies it's been a string of lies with you
String of lies we always compromise for you
And here's a letter from the real world

ANOTHER SECOND TIME AROUND
Happy smiling crying all put to my past
I guess those stormy gray skies simply couldn't last
And now I find myself tugging at your dress
The thought of holding you down or seeing you frown is never gonna pass

Somewhere there's a place a soul can never go
Gray like stormy skies I hoped you didn't know
All on postcards full of things I won't forget
And now it's coming down that laughing clown is all I ever get

Another second time around I've been running from ya
Another second time around
Another second, one more second time I waited for ya
Another second time around

Couldn't help myself
I felt like everything was gonna pass
It was an awkward time
I hoped it wouldn't, hoped it couldn't last

And I didn't know exactly what to say
About the things you saw me do my evil way
And I know you're lying crying in your bed
While I'm all tired out so wired out it's ringing in my head
Another second time around I've been running from ya
Another second time around
Another second, one more second time I waited for ya
Another second time around

STOP THE WORLD
You need someone to hold you
You need something that you ain't been getting
Yeah, I could be the one
To tell you what to do, but it don't mean nothing
And you're holding on forever
But that something just ain't true

I'm just like you
And I know
It's what I'd do
Here I go

Cause I could stop the world, 'cause I loved you
I could stop the world, and I don't want to
I could stop the world, and I won't
Cause it ain't enough

You had another bad day
You let me know that you just can't take it
I've given up on you
You live in truth and I know I can't fake it
Cause the stars you see are on a dirty sidewalk
And they ain't for wishing ooh

They don't come true
And I know, it's what I'd do
Here I go

Cause I could stop the world, 'cause I loved you
I could stop the world, and I don't want to
I could stop the world, and I won't
Cause it ain't enough

ALREADY THERE
I look outside my window
Everything was blanketed in white
The neighbors pushing cars out
From snow that fell on us last night
Started thinking bout
The things we used to do when we were young
Back when things were simple
And getting up was fun
I couldn't care cause I'm already there

Turn around and face the clock
I'd sit and watch, as time went hopping by
I'm still growing up
My friends are growing old before my eyes
Count the stars above
Wonder when the heavens will subside
Knowing our two worlds
Will someday just collide
I couldn't care cause I'm already there.

Just a boy who's young at heart
His smile was a bit like yours today
Had a wife a kid some strife
Never had to go astray
Happiness abounds
Life was in full swing
At seventeen all the things he wanted
Were things he'd never see

It don't seem fair cause I'm already there

ON THE LIE
He burnt down the house one night
He had a loaded sixpack gun
He said that jesus christ was just like a cop
You know you never know when they'll come
She said every day above ground
Was another dream come true
He said I'd hang and swap cliches all night
But I'm not in love with you

And I never got serious
Til everything went black
And I ain't so curious
That I'm ever going back

On the lie

He said man you want to be Elvis
I said I ain't dying face down
He said you've got to die facing up in the world
Cause there's too many holes around
He asked what was wrong with me
He said I looked like a hollywood girl
I said that hollywood can fall into the ocean, man
Cause it's the ugliest place in the whole wide world

And I never got serious
Til everything went black
And I ain't so curious
That I'm ever going back

On the lie

CLOSE YOUR EYES
I wish I had a saxophone
I'd play the blues til you came home
With a little sadness in your eye
Now that all my time was spent
In you walked you're heaven sent
Thinking 'bout all the nights you cried

Had a certain passion
And I had silly dreams
All of the vicious actions
Don't close your eyes to me

I wish I had a camera lens
To film the things my mind had said
Before they reached my mouth and got all bent
Looking up the skies of blue
All day long I think of you
Even after all the shit we've been through

Had a certain passion
And I had silly dreams
All of the vicious actions
Don't close your eyes to me

SO FAR AWAY
Why do you stare me down
Am I wrong
Should I turn and kiss the ground
And I never felt that way
I ain't the one and you know I don't come from such a place

And I didn't get those things
Things that you can't grow
You say that it's all my fault
And I don't need to know

Tell me something I don't know
And I'll find that I'm always looking 'round behind me
You said that it's all been said before
Now I find that there's something I don't know

And I hate your attitude
I ain't scared at all
Cause it don't matter what you do
And I'll turn around to see the truth
You're tearing it down, yeah, you're bringing it down
And it's all on you

And I didn't get those things
Things that you can't grow
You say that it's all my fault
And I don't need to know

Tell me something I don't know
And I find that I'm always looking round behind me
You said that it's all been said before
Now I find that there's something I don't know
If you break enough glass and there's no one to hear
And your heart's full of hate
Cause your mind's full of fear
Let it go. . . .

So far away

LAUGHING
I wake up I'm staring at the clock
My belly hurts and my head is like a rock
I get up to see what I can see
Furthest I got was my black and white TV
Eyewitness News brought to you at noon
Oh my God guess I got up too soon because

Oh I feel like laughing
All because of you

I didn't mean to wear this disguise
But I can't stand the look in my eyes
Oh I didn't mean to lie
I was doing what I thought was right
Come on walk on down the line
You'll be walking till the end of time because

Oh I feel like laughing
All because of you

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
I'm in love because I know you
And I'm sorry I don't show you
And if I find that you ain't by me
I'm afraid no one will know the things you see
How could you believe in someone sorry and sad like me
I know the deal and I thank you anyways
And if you leave you know I'm crawling at your feet
You never get weak when I'm leaning hard on you

And I guess that's just the way you are

And all the things that you don't show me
Like when you pretend that you don't know me
I waste a dime and I can't call you
I'll spend a lifetime if I fall for you
How could you believe in someone sorry and sad like me
I know the deal and I thank you anyways
And if you leave you know I'm crawling at your feet
You never get weak when I'm leaning hard on you

And I guess that's just the way you are

SO OUTTA LINE
I heard the floor creak or so I thought
I had my head rubbing on the ceiling
They say that indecision makes one weak
My indecision's suddenly been deepened

One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside it's snow
Been snow so long you know
Just feel like lettin go
So outta line

You've worked so hard for everything you've got
Ten minutes later you're a loser
Count your blessings and the ones you love
At this point we beggars can't be choosers

One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside it's snow

One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside it's snow
Been snow so long you know
Just feel like lettin go

THERE YOU ARE

Listen : Win - Real
Watch : Real

Give me a reason now that I can understand
Pick up the pieces now and put them in my hand
I've been up and down for you
My suffering extreme
I fell on my face for you
Now I know what it means
And I self destruct
I close my eyes and there

There you are

Yeah you can run out west, forget you know my name
You say you got your shit together, but you ain't got no faith
Method in madness
Now there's madness in my soul
I'd run from the darkness now
I've got no place to go
And I self destruct
I close my eyes and there

There you are

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
It's been a long, dark, lonely hall
Between the cracks I can read the scrawl
It's written down in a crooked rhyme
That sold me out before my time
You know but, since then I been back down to the edge
I can't believe the things you never said
I can't explain the words I never found
My whole world should come crashing down
You know, but you can't sell me out with everything you think about
I think back I draw a blank
You know but, there ain't no need to dig the past
You know I, I don't wanna live my life in a day
I ain't got no need for this plastic cage
'Cause you don't think about anything I think about

You know what I mean

Now you know for sure you're alive
Because you watched her leave before your eyes
You know I'm afraid to say your name
But I ain't afraid to share this blame
Because, you can't sell me out everything you think about

You know what I mean

It's been a long, dark, lonely hall
Between the cracks I can read the scrawl
Find a place that feels like home
You know I, I get some clue to where I'm going
You know, you don't think about anything I think about
You know what I mean
You know what I mean, oh no
You know what I mean

OUT OF THE RED
I ain't go no outfits to pick and choose
So I really ain't got that much to lose
Picture's getting fuzzy and it's stuck on channel 3
And the whole thing looks pretty silly to me
50,000 more and I'm out of the red

Heavy Metal thrash band, it's all a bunch of shit
People trying to name me while I'm trying to do my bit
I ain't got the patience or the time to waste
Call me a rock star you can spit in my face
Gonna take a horse to drag me outta my bed

I'd rather hang with drunks than hang out with myself
Well, the booze is over there take a glass off the shelf
If you ain't had enough by tomorrow at noon
we're gonna place a call to the boneyard crew
Went to sleep at home and woke up in a shed

NEVER TAKE THE PLACE OF YOUR MAN
Sung by The Incredible Lance Diamond

As performed by Prince

HEY
I thought about you just last saturday
My voice got cracked I didn't know what to say
Down in the shade or maybe in the sun
And if you need it I think I got one

Where are you
And what's on your mind
Where are you
Am I wasting my time
Where are you
And what's on you mind?
I just want to know if I'm wasting my time

I snuck out of work to see her smile
I'll hold her hostage for a little while
I wrote a letter I thought I'd let you know
I'm right behind you any time you go

Where are you
And what's on your mind
Where are you
Am I wasting my time
Where are you
And what's on you mind
I just want to know if I'm wasting my time

My mind got busy around 3 a.m. or so
Crawled in you room through the back window
Hoped when you woke up you wouldn't be too mad
I hope I never wake up your old man

Where are you
And what's on your mind
Where are you
Am I wasting my time
Where are you
And what's on you mind
I just want to know if I'm wasting my time

ON YOUR SIDE
I'm on a mission baby
I'm not hearing what you're saying
Stop preaching at me now
I'm not a revelation
Superstar or new sensation
I'm just hiding away my frowns

We don't see eye to eye
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
I'm on your side

Five a.m. I shut my eyes
Then my worries tranquilized
Don't think the morning comes too soon
If I don't see the morning
That's ok they're pretty boring
See you tomorrow afternoon

We don't see eye to eye
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
I'm on your side

You're living in a trailer
Friends all think that you're a failure
But are you thinking for yourself
You read the Sunday paper
Wife's pissed off 'cause you ain't laid her
Rolling pennies for your wealth
Me too. . .

We don't see eye to eye
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
I'm on your side
I'm on your side

KNOW MY NAME
What kind of situation
Have I brought upon myself
Some kind of bad reaction
Blamed it all on someone else

Don't pretend like you know my name
Cause I ain't never seen you before

You got me laughing at me
Laughing all about myself
I had a drink last Friday
Heard the news from someone else

Don't pretend like you know my name
Cause I ain't never seen you before

You got me running
Running far from myself
You got me coming
Coming home to someone else

Don't pretend like you know my name
Cause I ain't never seen you before
Cause I ain't never seen you before
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cause I ain't never seen you before

TWO DAYS IN FEBRUARY
I hung your picture on the wall and that's all it is
I break my fingers to make a call and that's all it is
I know you're living way out west and I don't think that I confessed
Everything I feel

You say you got no faith in things that you can't see
Well I'm sorry I ain't there with you but you ain't here with me
And I'm down in all my fears
But I ain't crying no tears over you

Cause everything's wrong
Well it's all right
Everything's wrong
Well it's all right

You said that this is crazy you're a half a world away
Well I'm sitting and I'm thinking but I didn't know what to say
So I said something I can't touch, I always want way too much
Anyway

Cause everything's wrong
Well it's all right
Everything's wrong
Well it's all right

I hung your picture on the wall but that's all it is
I break my fingers to make a call and that's all it is
I know you're living way out west
Don't get me wrong I'm not impressed
With you no more

OUT OF SIGHT
I know the face
Don't know the name
As time goes by
You all look the same
The last time that you saw me
I didn't think you cared
The next time that I saw you
It was me who stood and stared

I'm out of sight
You're out of mind

Hang at the bar
Blah blah making noise
You work at Chevy
I guess it's your choice
You really thought you had me
Thought you put me in my place
Super cool in high school
But now I'm in your face

I'm out of sight
You're out of mind

They tell me you got a wife
I heard she's fat
You got a kid
And I got a cat
You really thought you had me
Thought you put me in my place
Super cool in high school
But now I'm in your face

I'm out of sight
You're out of mind

UP YOURS
Up yours
Stop your whining
Feeling swell
I'm doing fine
Yeah fuck your suicide
It's all bullshit 'cause I tried
And it really don't impress me all that much

Up yours
What you find
Sit right down
I got time
And you say here comes the end
And you haven't got a friend
And I'm standing here just screaming at the wall

Up yours
Stop your whine
What ya got
I got mine
And you shake your stupid head
And you wish that you were dead
And I swear sometimes you're happier than me

And you know it's hard to be
All the things you want me to be
And you go and make it hard on me
But I swear that anything you could be I could be can't you see

Up yours
Got no mind
That's too bad
You got time
Yeah, fuck your silly game
'Cause it's driving me insane
And it really doesn't matter much to me

NO WAY OUT
Every time i walk you down by Delaware park
You'd only hold my hand when its after dark
All the places that I go and all the things that we have seen
It makes me wanna scream

There's no way out

Every time I come a knockin at your door
You tell me turn away, pal you're to poor
I aint a rich boy, of course I know that
All the places that i go are just cheap cheap cheap

There's no way out

Every time I waited for you in the rain
My heart says our love is some kind of god damned pain
I stand around and i think it's gonna work
But won't you look at me , what am I a jerk. . . no !

There's no way out

For you to make up your silly mind, and decide if you're my

Boy, you're so proud

Every time I look into your sad, pathetic face
I lose my entire faith in the human race
And I don't wanna stand here waiting round no more

SEX MAGGOT
Well I was hanging around the railway station
My mind was in the state of total degradation
Little boy blue came and blew his horn now
Scared those cows right out of the corn now
I hear you screaming but you can't come in
Cause I know, that you're just a sex maggot!

Mommy and daddy used to play this game now
Told me boys and girls are really all the same now
I don't know the difference at the age of twenty one
Who's telling me I don't like anyone

I hear you screaming but you can't come in
Cause I know, that you're just a sex maggot

HAD ENOUGH
If I leave today, got nowhere to go that I can stay
I know what I need, but I won't follow, I can't lead
And when I stood there and I felt November kill
You crushed my heart, and I nearly lost my will
You think you understand the way it made me feel
I started to choke on you, cause I know what you fear

Cause I've had enough, and I don't really need it
Had enough, and I don't really feel it
Had enough, but you really can't see it
But you'll see it for the first time in your life

If you had a brain, you'd be smart enough to change
Watch yourself, the faults all yours blame no one else
And I stood there and I felt November kill
You broke my heart, and I nearly lost my will
You try to understand the way you make me feel
I started to choke on you, and I know what you fear

Cause I've had enough, and I don't really need it
Had enough, and I don't really feel it
Had enough, but you're too blind to see it
But you'll see it for the first time in your life

ROAD TO SALINAS
Being afraid can be o.k. if you're willing to let things go
Take the the time and try to find and learn what you don't know
I dont know why I got behind the wheel
Sun's in the sky and i was...

On the road to Salinas
Down the road I thought could free us
Ordinary dreams would go
But I would always get back home

Take the time and try to find the boy inside my brain
Saw him way out on a limb and he was trying to get away
I don't know why I feel the way I feel
Sun's in the sky and I was...

On the road to Salinas
Down the road I thought could free us
Ordinary dreams would go
But I would always get back home

See myself in someone else and I just don't know why
When I lay my head to sleep I lay awake and cry
I dont know why I got behind the wheel
Sun's in the sky and i was...

On the road to Salinas
Down the road I thought could free us
Ordinary dreams would go
But I would always get back home

MISFORTUNE
One to many times I've seen you in a frown
Hold your head down in despair
Oh, but, time after time you wear that frown
But you never seemed to care

Fortune, misfortune
Such a distortion
Fortune, misfortune
Such a distortion

You keep on reaching for those things you just can't keep
You keep on searching for tommorow
Oh but i know, what you sew you also reap
You beg you steal and you borrow

Fortune, misfortune

Fortune, misfortune
Such a distortion

Walking over the same old grass
Trying to stay on the beaten path
I don't need to apologize
For the things I don't recognize

Artie, take a look at me
may not wanna think about all the little things
That piss you off about me

Hey there man
I didn't trash your can
But I'll apologize for all the little things
That piss you off about me

Walking over the same ole ground
Thinking bout all the things we found
I don't wanna let it bring me down
I'm up and out of this dirty town

Artie, take a look at me
Might not wanna think about all the little things

JAMES DEAN
Look around outside
Ain't nothing to do but hang around
Think about all the stupid things that I've done
I guess I ain't nothin' but a clown
If I had a wish, I swear I'd wish, I'd wish for just one thing
And I don't even like to think about all the things my wish'd bring

'Cause I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
For a day
I wanna be oversexed and underworked and look at me im such a jerk

And I just wanna be James Dean
For a day
Think about stories of the actors and the movies stars
Sitting here watching the old men drinking at the bar
I think about Dean and all the things he should've tried
I think about Dean and all the ways he could've died

And I wouldn't give a shit about anything cause I'd be such a big big star
And that don't really do me much good just cryin' at the bar

But I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
For a day
I'm overworked and undersexed and look at me I'm such a wreck

And I just wanna be James Dean
For a day
I'm going crazy cause I'm always all alone
I'm going crazy no one calls me on the phone
I think about Dean and I know Dean he wouldn't care
If I was Dean I know there'd be somebody there
Yeah there'd be somebody there
For me

Yeah I think about all the really cool things I could do and say
Then you go and tell me that you found out Dean was gay
No I don't wanna be James Dean. . . Anymore

LIVIN' IN A HUT
I've got an ugly liver from drinking too much
I've got painful sliver from thinking too much
Oh I don't want to go on livin' in this rut
I think I'll go out and build me a hut but
Curiosity has got me
Tied up right back where it wants me
And all the things straight people do
Make me think I haven't got a clue

I've good a real good sense for seeking out the booze
But I can't afford to buy a pair of shoes
And when I get some cash it's already been spent
Oh, I can smoke and drink but I can't pay my rent

I've got an ugly liver from drinking too much
I've got painful sliver from thinking too much
Oh I don't want to go on livin' in this rut
Oh I think I'll go out and build me a hut, but
Curiosity has got me
Tied up right back where it wants me
And all the things straight people do

I'M ADDICTED
Walking round this dirty town
Drinking up till we fall down
Don't want to live forever this way

I got my back against the wall
Don't wait to be shown
Go out and learn your own

Waiting for their hurried call
Got my back against the wall
Don't want to be shown

You and your silly stomp
You shave your malformed head
And wish that you were dead
And every single time
you blow your silly mind
With model airplane glue
I don't know who you are
I don't see any prose
You go and get a trick
Then get a pimply dick
And every time you wait
You have to masturbate
Oh, it dont ring true

Wait, don't stop

And now I'm done with this
And it's so vicious
You criticize my view
Then criticize my tunes
But there's just one thing
Its gonna make me sing
Oh, i dont need you

And everything I know will vanish with the years

And if the accidents will, well we'll both fade away

DON'T BEAT MY ASS (WITH A BASEBALL BAT)
Things don't look to good to me
I feel I'm out of luck
And all because of swollen glands
And just one stupid fuck
This wacko came from alabama and
That's not where it's at
And now your jock's been chasing me round
With a great big baseball bat
Don't kick my ass
Don't kick my ass
Don't kick my ass with a baseball bat no

Well I was in the mood for some love in bulk
Not a wrestling match with a some big hulk
And this here dude he was an uncool cat
And he beat me bout' my head with a baseball bat
Don't kick my ass
Don't kick my ass
Don't kick my ass with a baseball bat no

When I got up from being beat to the ground
I started itchin' around like a blue-tick hound
And I was aghast at what I found
The latest social disease that's been going around
I'll kick your ass (I'll kick your ass)
I'll kick your ass (I'll kick your ass)
I'll kick your ass with a baseball bat bitch
