you're and american girl
red headed eyes blank
living in a freckle on the face of the world
another dying kid that learned too much too soon
you're not as good as your mom
but you're as good as dead
you're as good as dead
new jersey ain't the whole world
which of your shots have sold?
twenty-nine with your child
who doesn't give and eats what's left
of your young soul
another dying spark that burned too fast too soon
you're not as bad as your dad
but you're as good as dead
you're as good as dead
new jersey ain't the whole world
don't you leave me out here too long
will you bring me out there?
you're an american girl
out of line in out of time
a cry for the leading role
your bum childhood stole
a mother tires and stuck
in her love-worn bed
you're not as good as your mom
but you're as good as dead
you're as good as dead
new jersey ain't the whole world
don't you leave me out here too long

Well I need you,
My bed's without you,
Oh no,
This one,
Only excusing on the ice,
Surprise,
Watch out,
I wouldn't trust you with the words,
Let that be a lesson learnt.
The lights are on, and it's time to be me, make on business,
With the promise you kept, that keeps me here.
But don't you know,
We're on the road, gotta get the right insurance,
Play with matches you're gonna get burnt,
Let you know with your dial tone,
But I still wait for your call.
Watch out honey now,
My bed stripped down the wall,
Push me, Back there,
One night of love went from me to him, to her,
I love great big smile, cameras, don't lie,
Not even for you sweetheart.
One day, I'll see you on the big screen,
In a film called 'Who shot the prom queen?'
You'll be an extra on the sidelines,
Just like a co star, sign
But don't you know,
We're on the road, gotta get the right insurance,
Play with matches you're gonna get burnt,
Let you know with your dial tone,
But I still wait for your call.
Still wait for your call,
Still wait for your call,
Still wait for your call,
Still wait for your call.
And say you're fine, last time,
I still wait for your call and say you're fine, the last time,
I still wait for your call.
Your call.
Please speak up, I can't hear you.
Please speak up, I can't hear you.
The Garden State [x4]
It rains there every time...
Except once
Though the heart of
all hardcore is right there at your door
New Jersey
Never fade out
You've always been there
What gives?
I can't escape you
I really must thank you for all of this

Hey hey see how they go
small city strange
the kind that I know
where you learn to play marco polo
learned how to run when you dared to get too close
All my guarantees are under one moon
called New Jersey where my sad song's
not the only one worth holding on and holding on to
So how do you how do you say
I am so sorry when it's far too late
Maybe if you could see who I've become
cause it's not like the other me
I was ankle deep but then I dove down
to the sweet and sour bottom
where your memory is holding on it's holding on to me
Singing waddle-ee-atcha doodle-ee-doo
Small city towns for me and for you too
where I learned to play marco polo
I learned how to run when they dared to get too close
so don't you dare to get too close
All my guarantees are under one moon
called New Jersey where my sad song's
not the only one worth holding on worth holding
I was ankle deep but then I dove down
to the sweet and sour bottom
