How can you say that you love me,
When you never look me in the face.
How can you say that you need me,
When you've been messing around.
All over the place.
I went downtown yesterday,
And was walking in the marketplace
All the women they laughed at me,
They whispered that I was a disgrace.
You've been out all night drinking again,
You never even bother to call.
Been crossing blades with God knows who,
You're headed for your rise and fall.
Sooner or later I'll wake up,
And rub the sleep out of my eyes.
Later that day when you wake up,
You'll be in for a big surprise.
You talk about yourself all night,
When really you are such a bore.
You gave me flowers to my face,
Behind my back you call me a whore.
I've had enough of you God knows what,
I think it's time for you to leave.
I've forgiven you too many times before,
This time you get no reprive.
The bed's too big without you,
But I suppose it'll have to do.
Better to lay in an empty bed,
Than to spend another night beside you.
People talking all over town,
About the way you've been putting me down.
People talking all over town,
Jot down the words you wanna say
Make sure they don't conflict with mine in any way
And make them sound good, remember the laws that apply
I gave you a buck it's my right to decide
Pretend your life is squeaky clean
Pure as the virgin you think your daughter is
She laughs in your face as you bring your speech to a close
But she's doing it under your nose
I don't care who you wanna pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
Just stick to your own life
You used to wear your pretty clothes
Now that the scruff is in you're bluff, what you used to know
But here come your rules the fashion police are in
And suddenly your politics are changing again
Idolise and criticize
Push them in the right direction to paradise
Praise them with guilt, distinguish the weak from the strong
But knowing that we end up the same in the long run
I don't care who you wanna pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
Just stick to your own life
The position you have may be lost
The position you have may be lost
The position you have may be lost
The position you have may be lost
The position you have may be lost
The position you have may be lost
The position you have may be lost
I don't care who you wanna pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
Just stick to your own life
Well, I don't care who you wanna pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
I heard you had a mind to sue why I don't know?
I guess your lawyer will tell us
So you can have my bongos and that little plastic
Thing I put my vitamins in
You can have my amplifier, just make sure you're
Grounded when you're plugging it in
I don't think you know just what you're getting into
You're spending lots of money to get nothin'
So sue us, whatcha gonna do with us
Just sue us, whatcha gonna get
Well nothin', 'cause all of us are flat broke
Go ahead and try to do all you can do to sue
I don't know why you thought we would try
To clean up our mess, I guess you're suing so we confess
Yeah, we left the dirty mattress in the doorway
But we could not get it through
Yeah, two windows did get broken
But by the two dealers who were looking for you
I don't think you just know what you're getting into
You're spending lots of money to get nothin'
So sue us, whatcha gonna do with us
Just sue us, whatcha gonna get
Well nothin', 'cause all of us are flat broke
Go ahead and try to do all you can do to sue
I heard you had a mind to sue, is the rumor true?
I guess it is the joke's on you
You can have my 8 track player and the Stevie Wonder
Record I just bought
I could probably dig up some old shonen knife
But it's really all that I've got
I don't think you know just what you're getting into
You're spending lots of money to get nothin'
So sue us, whatcha gonna do with us
Just sue us, whatcha gonna get
Well nothin', 'cause all of us are flat broke
Go ahead and try to do all you can do to
So sue us, whatcha gonna do with us
Just sue us, whatcha gonna get
Well nothin', 'cause all of us are flat broke
On a sinkin' ship, I'd be the first one
To jump so that it would be done
I don't wanna think about what might be
I don't really wanna see
What I'm missin' out on when you come back
You'll find I never really had a chance
It's not that I have anywhere to go
It's just that I already know
Waited too long
Now this is really wrong
Try to run, can't get away
Now it's just too late
It's gettin' late and I'm killin' time
But I can't get you out of my mind
Something's wrong with me
Try to make it easy
And find a way to lose you by
All the things I say
Want you to go away
When I close my eyes
All I can see is the fire in front of me
I try to turn, don't wanna stay
But I can't seem to get away
From the things that scare me most about you
All of what you say and do
Try not to squirm when I feel your touch
I just know that I care too much
Waited too long
Now this is really wrong
Try to run, can't get away
Now it's just too late
It's gettin' late and I'm killin' time
But I can't get you out of my mind
Something's wrong with me
Try to make it easy
And find a way to lose you by
All the things I say
Want you to go away
It's gettin' late and I'm killin' time
But I can't get you out of my mind
Something's wrong with me
Try to make it easy
And find a way to lose you by
All the things I say
Lost again, somebody tell me how to get there
'Cause I can't take another handshake or another blank stare
Thought I knew what I had to do to get through to you
Guess your head is thicker than I thought
You know I am starting to think that it might be you
'Cause I know you've got a lot of things and people you look to
Do you believe that I never see what you're doing to me?
I'll keep smiling till the door closes behind me
I know where I wanna go but I just don't know
No I just don't know how to get there
I know where I wanna go but I just don't know
No I just don't know how to get there
Lost again, somebody tell me how to get there
If I hit another detour I'm afraid that I won't care
Who'd have thought that I'd have bought the expectations
That gold road probably just leads straight to hell
And once I'm there are you gonna care or conveniently look away
I don't think I want us to fall off and die that way
Do you believe that I never see what you're doing to me?
I'll keep smiling till the door closes behind me
I know where I wanna go but I just don't know
No I just don't know how to get there
I know where I wanna go but I just don't know
No I just don't know how to get there
I know where I wanna go but I just don't know
No I just don't know how to get there
I know where I wanna go but I just don't know
No I just don't know how to get there
Do you, do you, do you?
I'm tryin' to pretend that you are comfortable
I guess I know you better than you think
Tryin' to pretend that you are far away
I guess I better buy you a stiff drink
How could you try to forget what we once had
Better not tell anyone it was bad
Sorry, I can't get any further away
You better deal
'Cause I'm gonna stay next to you, I never wanted to
But now that I'm next to you, I just can't help myself being next to you
There isn't anyone else that I would rather do
Tryin' to pretend that you don't get a small chill
Every single time that I pass you
Tryin' to pretend that you don't want a big thrill
Even half as much as I know you do
I knew you couldn't forget what you once had
Even though it ended so awfully bad
I'm sure the second round won't end the same way
You'd better hope
'Cause I'm gonna stay next to you, I never wanted to
But now that I'm next to you, I just can't help myself being next to you
There isn't anyone else that I would rather do
Tryin' to pretend that you are comfortable
I guess I know you better than you think
Tryin' to pretend that you are far away
I guess I better buy you a stiff drink
Don't think of running away 'cause I'll catch you
And make you sorrier than you ever knew
I know I've lost it, I don't care, so anyway
You'd better deal
'Cause I'm gonna stay next to you, I never wanted to
But now that I'm next to you, I just can't help myself being next to you
There isn't anyone else that I would rather do
It began with a mistake, I didn't know what was at stake
I realize I was to blame, I just want things to be the same
I'll be the first to apologize and I know these things take time
I think of you and I see red even though you were alright in bed
It's not that we don't get along, it's just that you were always wrong
At least you could pretend that I was right in the end
Why won't you ever let this die, you can see how hard I've tried
Don't hold this over my head, let's just say enough is been said
Enough is enough
I know I was to blame, I just wanted to be the same
Just shut up and make it right
Enough is enough
I know I was to blame, I just wanted to be the same
Just shut up and make it right
It's been a long long time and I've realized my crime
I've tried hard to make amends to avoid the bitter end
I wanna leave it up to you but you never seem to come through
Why don't you finish what you start before this whole thing falls apart
You know I'm beginning to think that you drove me to drink
Not that I'm placing blame but you're giving me a bad name
Why won't you ever let this die, you can see how hard I've tried
I guess it's time to say fuck off I'm gone after today
Enough is enough
I know I was to blame, I just wanted to be the same
Just shut up and make it right
Enough is enough
I know I was to blame, I just wanted to be the same
Just shut up and make it right
I never thought this would be such a nightmare
Get over your bad self, I don't, I don't really care
I don't, I don't really care
Enough is enough
I know I was to blame, I just wanted to be the same
Just shut up and make it right
Just shut up and make it right
If you could would you go and lock the door?
If you could would you crawl along the floor?
Would you give in to what I know you want?
Or will you leave alone tonight?
If I asked would you wanna walk me home?
Would I be safer if I was alone?
I wish I could tell you what I want from you
I would if I knew
I want you more
More than I ever thought I would
I want you more
More than I ever should
On the days when you act like you don?t care
Well I know you, so wipe that icy stare off your face
I know it?s all a game with you
What else can you do?
Do you know that I think of you in bed?
And that sometimes I wish you were dead?
I?d be better off if you were gone
But will it ever really be done?
I want you more
More than I ever thought I would
I want you more
More than I ever should
Do you think that you?ll ever walk away?
It might make it easier that way
Well go on I dare you try to walk away
And think about this today
Have you got it clearly in your mind?
Get it straight because you?re gonna find
That by the time you turn around it's too late
And I won?t be found
I want you more
More than I ever thought I would
I want you more
More than I ever should
I want you more
More than I ever thought I would
I want you more
Is it ever gonna come?
I wanna believe but I can't really see
'Cause I'm afraid to even lift my head up
If I look for you are you gonna be gone?
I want to jump ahead and just run, so it'll be done
I'm stuck, I can't get up
I want to, but I can't stop the chase
Wanna win the race, I know it's all a show
And you promise me, you keep telling me
Tomorrow is close but will it ever come?
And you promise me, you keep telling me
Tomorrow is close but will it ever come?
Never thought it'd be more than this
But you promised me and unfortunately
I bought it completely although
After I wake up I'm sure that I'll know
That today was just the rest of my life
I'm not gonna die sitting there hoping
That I can someday come and claim the ring
It's not anything I know or want to become
And you promise me, you keep telling me
Tomorrow is close but will it ever come?
And you promise me, you keep telling me
Tomorrow is close but will it ever come?
Will tomorrow ever come?
Will tomorrow ever come?
Will tomorrow come? I just want to know
Will I be happy tomorrow?
Will I be happy tomorrow?
Will I be happy tomorrow?
I want to know if I've got a reason
To keep hanging on when I want to let go
I want to know if you actually mean it
Or is it just part of a much bigger show
'Cause I'm not gonna just lay down
While I slowly drown, I never agreed to that
And I'm not gonna hold my breath
Till there's nothing left, I'd start laughing anyway
And you promise me, you keep telling me
Tomorrow is close but will it ever come?
And you promise me, you keep telling me
Tomorrow is close but will it ever come?
Will tomorrow ever come?
Will tomorrow ever come?
Will tomorrow come? I just want to know
Will I be happy tomorrow?
Will I be happy tomorrow?
In the snow, I sleep freezing,
Constantly coughing and wheezing.
Been awake the whole night through,
My mind reeling with thoughts of you.
Sitting in the north pole,
It is really cold,
But I'm still waiting for you.
My blood is cold as ice,
If you were here that would suffice.
Staring blankly at the wall,
Waiting patiently for your call.
Sitting in the north pole,
Feels like I'm getting old,
But I'm still waiting for you.
The bread you baked when you left,
Is now a solid rock, a footrest.
Tried to keep it warm of you,
It didn't last three years, only two.
Sitting in the north pole,
It is really cold,
But I'm still waiting for you.
You said you'd be back in 10,
Good thing I believe in zen.
You'll be back, that I know,
Even though that was three years ago,
Sitting in the north pole,
Feels like I'm getting old,
But I'm still waiting for you.
I know that you'll be back soon,
So I'll stay awake until you do.
Borrowed a book from a friend of mine,
I've read it so many times.
Sitting in the north pole,
It is really cold,
But I'm still waiting for you.
Sitting in the north pole,
Feels like I'm getting old,
But I'm still waiting for you.
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
In the back room of the bar, crusty fingernails I saw him
Everything was hidden by, all the greasy hair he was in
Never looking up, he seemed so sad, I tried to offer him
My shot of whiskey but he said I only drink gin
We sat there quietly, purposely ignoring the room
He smiled wistfully, his shirt was dirty and torn
Everlasting glances left open ended chances
But he stole my heart when he ordered a double for me
In the back room of the bar
In the back room of the bar
We made a great couple, me and him
'Cause I drink whiskey but he only ever drinks gin
Well, that's the way it is with him
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Went to the ladies room, when I returned to my chair
His hands were in my bag, red handed guilt everywhere
Took out a photo of an old Romeo
Threw it over his shoulder and rested his hand on my knee
We played these games where we go through the whole alphabet
He'd have an Adam and Eve and I had a Dixie Julep
Went through an Artillery, Caruso and a Diamond Fizz
Fallen Angel, Green Dragon, ending with a kiss in the dark
In the back room of the bar
In the back room of the bar
We made a great couple, me and him
'Cause I drink whiskey but he only ever drinks gin
Last call came right at once, glasses were empty and dry
We got our second wind but all we had was a dime
Didn't even seem to care, the bartender unaware
We jumped over the counter, took off with our hands full of booze
In the back room of the bar
In the back room of the bar
We made a great couple, me and him
'Cause I drink whiskey but he only ever drinks
In the back room of the bar
In the back room of the bar
We made a great couple, me and him
Nevermind the time when you were all alone and I
Picked you up like a dirty bit 'o honey
Licked you clean and found a house of wax for your to stay
You set fire to it on your second full day
Then I thought that we had reached an understanding
Wouldn't find coal at the bottom of the stocking
Instead you swung at my head and nearly knocked me dead
Thought about it while I say there thinking just bled
Pull the knife out of my back
Clean the blade and put it back
Pull the knife out of my back
Unless you're not quite done
Then go on and have more fun
I often think about the way that I will watch you die
It's kind of creepy but I'm looking forward to it
I'll probably try to linger over it for a little while
You will fall down on your own knife and I'll just smile
Pull the knife out of my back
Clean the blade and put it back
Pull the knife out of my back
Unless you're not quite done
Then go on and have more fun
Two can play is really all that I have left to say
Your edge is getting dull it's nearing time to sharpen
Get a mirror so that you can see what's gonna be
Afraid it's gonna like like untimely death to me
Pull the knife out of my back
Clean the blade and put it back
Pull the knife out of my back
Unless you're not quite done
Why are you listening to all the things they tell you everyday?
Why are you listening, what happened to your own mind anyway?
Why are you listening to their advice on what to watch and do?
Why are you listening, has your mind been overrun - what do I do?
I don't know how they pulled you fast and buried all the trace of the
past
I don't know how you left so fast - I really hope that this won't last.
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley listen to me.
What are you doing? It's been so long, I never even see you
Whar are you doing? You're a different girl but I don't know who
What are you doing? Fall asleep and disappear for days
What are you doing? Come back flying in a total haze
I don't know how they pulled you fast and buried all the trace of the
past
I don't know how you left so fast - I really hope that this won't last.
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley listen to me
What are you thinking? I suspect you're losing it for good
What are you thinking? Promise I would save you if I could
What are you thinking? I probably don't even wanna know
What are you thinking? Please just say goodbye before you go
I don't know how they pulled you fast and buried all the trace of the
past
I don't know how you left so fast - I really hope that this won't last.
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley
Give yourself a little competition
I can see it flaring up in your eyes
Give yourself a moment to remember
All the trailing loose ends you've left behind
And I, keep on a wondering
How all the walls around have kept so high
Give yourself a little competition
It's the only thing that'll get you by
Keep the wound salted, ooh oh ooh
It's what you've always wanted, ooh oh ooh
Keep the wound salted, ooh oh, ooh oh
Suddenly you've lost communication
And you swear that it's all her mistake
But you must really like this situation
'Cause the clean break you wanted is now in your face
She looked at you, then at the room
Then at the state she's been living in
And suddenly you're in a new position
As the views you held so highly fade
Keep the wound salted, ooh oh ooh
It's what you've always wanted, ooh oh ooh
Keep the wound salted, ooh oh, ooh oh
Just say goodbye, don't look back, woah
Give us all a little more emotion
We can see it welling up in your eyes
And we can see your fur is getting thicker
As you show no signs of compromise
But don't go running back when you realize
That nobody's buying into your lies
Then give yourself a little more opinion
'Cause we know you'll never choose to rectify
Keep the wound salted, ooh oh ooh
It's what you've always wanted, ooh oh ooh
Keep the wound salted, ooh oh, ooh oh
It's never gonna work out
Quite the way that they planned
Their little greasy games
They'll drop you just as soon as they can pick you up
It might be fun for a while
What happens tomorrow?
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
Oh, I got what you want and I may just walk away
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
I just gotta get away
Wonder why they think about
What they can get from me
I guess I'll let 'em believe
Whatever it is they wanna see
I know it's sick
I hope it's only paranoia
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
Oh, I got what you want and I may just walk away
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
I just gotta get away
Admit it's not all bad
It's almost like a real cheap high
'Til you get knocked on your ass
Thinking you can fly
Suppose it's something that you
Learn before you die
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
Oh, I got what you want and I may just walk away
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
Through the smoky dim lit haze, I saw him from afar.
Moved a little closer just to get a better view
He looked at me and smiled and said, "I'm the one for you."
We've heard one too many over used pick up lines
Give us some credit we're not sleazy, dumb, or blind.
Saw another guy right then, his suit was tailor made.
Unfortunately so were his lines much to my dismay.
Thought he had me pegged, tried to impress me with his cash.
"You'd look great on my yacht," was the best line that he had.
We've heard one too many over used pick up lines
Give us some credit we're not sleazy, dumb, or blind.
Over in the corner I saw this one all alone.
Looked like Mr. Natural, the kind you would take home.
Not like any of the others, this one seemed benign.
At least until he opened his mouth, "hey, Babe, what's your sign?"
We've heard one too many over used pick up lines
Give us some credit we're not sleazy, dumb, or blind.
Got fed up, decided to leave after one last drink.
Felt a tap on my left shoulder and started to think......
I can't take this anymore, what will this line be?
That's when he let his line fly, "Hi, my name is Steve."
Where have you been all of my life, sweet thing?
He don't leave when it's time to go.
He don't leave at the end of the show.
He's no friend an acquaintance at best.
A scary guy in a leather vest.
Cause he's a nuisance. (oh yeah)
Nuisance (well you know)
Nuisance (one more time)
Nuisance
When he speaks it's a scary sound.
It's hard to keep him from hanging around.
Girls won't give him the time of day.
They just hope he'll go away.
Cause he's a nuisance. (oh yeah)
Nuisance (well you know)
Nuisance (one more time)
Nuisance
Why won't he go away.
Why does he always stay.
Cause he's a nuisance. (one more time)
Nuisance (well you know)
Nuisance (Oh)
Nuisance
I wish he would move to another place.
Or at least get out of my face.
It seems that there is nothing left to do.
I wish he would just get a clue.
Cause he's a nuisance. (oh yeah)
Nuisance (well you know)
Nuisance (oh)
Nuisance
Why won't he go away.
Why does he always stay.
Cause he's a nuisance. (hey)
Nuisance (well)
Nuisance (one more time)
Never thought of leaving you today,
Never thought I'd ever feel this way,
But now I'm gone and you are alone.
I hope you're not waiting by the phone.
I am never coming back,
Not because of anything you lack.
Belive me there's nothing that you can do,
The problem is with me and not with you.
You've been there for me,
Each and every time.
Trust me it's not your problem,
It is mine.
I'm sorry I don't know,
What's going though my head,
I didn't mean for you,
To be mislead.
For some reason I don't know,
It doesn't feel right so I have to go.
Don't let it hurt your self-esteem.
You'll be some girl's ever lasting dream.
It has nothing to do with you,
Please trust me for I'm being true.
I'm sorry for all the pain it will bring,
It's just another dumb girl thing.
You've been there for me,
Each and every time.
Trust me it's not your problem,
It is mine.
I'm sorry I don't know,
What's going though my head,
I didn't mean for you,
To be mislead.
You've been there for me,
Each and every time.
Trust me it's not your problem,
It is mine.
I'm sorry I don't know,
What's going though my head,
I didn't mean for you,
You've had all the breaks
Learning from your mom's mistakes
Eating off your daddy's plate
Spending all your wasted taste
You can't see past your gate
Once I saw you dip your toe
Past the line at the end of the road
But frightened you came running home
You've had all the luck
They fought it out for you
Without them you'd be stuck
They held your hand to walk through
Don't forget you're bored
And that's your only problem
Times for you ain't tough
Just try showing them some gratitude
Oh, quit your whining, it's so boring
Play the victim and keep me yawning
How do you expect me to believe
The scene that you're describing
Hey there, Mr. Blue
I'm hurting just by listening to what you've been through
Poor baby, or what did they do to you
Whoa, poor old Mr. Blue
Inside your white fence
The glass house you've created
Things are getting tense
Don't feel appreciated
Glance out of your window
It looks like sun to me
But you just count the clouds
Sigh and beg for sympathy
Oh, quit your whining, it's so boring
Play the victim and keep me yawning
How do you expect me to believe
The scene that you're describing
Hey there, Mr. Blue
I'm hurting just by listening to what you've been through
Poor baby, or what did they do to you
Whoa, poor old Mr. Blue
You could sit there forever
Blaming others but never
Allowing things to get better
You keep trying
And maybe we should just give up
Oh, quit your whining, it's so boring
Play the victim and keep me yawning
How do you expect me to
Believe you
Hey there, Mr. Blue
I'm hurting just by listening to what you've been through
Poor baby, or what did they do to you
Whoa, poor old Mr. Blue
Hey there, Mr. Blue
Hey there, Mr. Blue
What did they do to you
Don't try selling me your heartbreak
'Cause I can't take another sales pitch
You don't wanna be the last one
Who's no fun, the one that's always left behind
I know it's hard
To see clearly all of the time
So go do what you want
And I'll try hard to be more understanding
But I don't want to live like that
Under your thumb behind your back
I just wanna be there to see the last laugh
I'll try killing you with kindness
Forget the mindless things I might've said
And I won't try to catch you or stop you
From doing what you think is right
I'll look the other way
Maybe I was wrong this one time
It's got to be hard
When the rest of the world's gone crazy around you
But I don't want to live like that
Under your thumb, behind your back
I just wanna be there to see the last laugh
Back and forth you swing
From routine to obscene and I know that you're just like me
And that's exactly what I like about you
I guess I'm probably insane
Two by four is what I'd use to smack you upside your head
'Cause you drive me crazy
So don't keep singing me your sad song
It's been so long since I've gotten through
And I'm not gonna be the last one
Who's no fun, the one that's always left behind
Don't get me wrong
When I don't tell you what you wanna hear
And go do what you want
And I'll try hard to be more understanding
But I don't want to live like that
Under your thumb, behind your back
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
It's been 10 years since I left my home
And wandered off without you
Has it been that long?
It's really been that long
And in the back of my mind I still hear you
Calling to me, shouting to me, grabbing my attention
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
You say you feel trapped and do not see
An answer to the problem
I say you gotta get out
Just get up and get out
What are you afraid of?
Living, loving, hurting, crying..
It's one and all, defend your fate, your destiny can be what you make
it...
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
And you came to me with propostions
Like you really mean them
Well I've heard them before
So many times before
What are you afraid of?
Living, loving, hurting, crying..
It's one and all, defend your fate, your destiny can be what you make
it...
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
She don't want anybody to be there for her
She don't want anything
She goes into her room
And turns off all the lights
Gets a candle from her drawer -
Pulls the curtain and then locks the door
It's the same old thing she wants to be alone night after night
Got herself into a mess doing what she loves the best
Flyin to avoid the rest
She don't want anybody to be there for her
She don't want anything from anybody
She don't want anybody to be there for her
She don't want anything
Try to tell her what I see
And how I think her mind's
Dying slowly day by day -
But she only smiles and turns away
Doesn't wanna have to justify herself to anyone
Why do people nag her when she's only trying to have some fun
Flyin twards the sun
She don't want anybody to be there for her
She don't want anything from anybody
She don't want anybody to be there for her
She don't want anything from anybody
Years went by and still
She claimed to be in control
Try to grab her on the way down -
Missed her hand and had to watch her drown
Even at the end her eyes were open but she couldn't see
The beauty of the world or at least what she had meant to me
Why did shy fly away?
She don't want anybody to be there for her
She don't want anything from anybody
She don't want anybody to be there for her
When the waves come crashing down on heaven
(She will be there)
When the skies sends thunder through the horizon
And the rain keeps falling
Do you believe in truth or in fantasy?
(Said she would be there)
Don't forget he risked it all for one last chance
At going somewhere
On his back he lies awake and he's down again
(Is it all over?)
Looking up the one he trusts is beautiful
But nowhere to be found
Have you seen his lady called lady luck?
(Said she would be here)
Snake eyes, smile that's devilish
Calling out he sees her then she fades
Now he wants to know where did she go?
Now he wants to know where has she gone?
Now he wants to know where did she go?
There was a time when all his dreams were in his hands
(Now he's spinning)
Lucky charms and one-eyed Jacks won't bring it back
The writing's on the wall
And the day when he believed in everything
(Now it's crumbled)
All the cracks he's staring at belonged to him
But a long time ago
Now he wants to know where did she go?
Now he wants to know where has she gone?
Now he wants to know where did she go?
And he seems to remember when he was stronger
The grass was greener, the air was clearer
The sun shone brighter, he wasn't frightened
Everything counted, nothing mattered
Was she a vision that he created?
Held onto, but now she's gone
When the minutes drag like all eternity
(Who will be there?)
When the black and white pictures fade to a dirty brown
And curl at the edges
Does he believe in fate or reality?
(Is there a distinction?)
Now his world is crashing down on heaven
And yes, she is gone
Now he wants to know where did she go?
Now he wants to know where has she gone?
Now he wants to know where did she go?
Now he wants to know where has she gone?
I keep on running but I'm starting to tire.
I keep on moving cause my minds on fire
It's an uphill climb but my feet are getting heavy.
I keep on running cause I'm feeling heavy.
Keep on running....
Keep on running....
Keep on running....
Keep on running....
I'm getting tired but I try to ignore it
Cause if I don't I'll be heading for it.
I know if I stop I'll be a dead man,
The way it is for me it must be in the plan.
Keep on running....
Keep on running....
Keep on running....
Keep on running....
I keep on running cause I can't turn back.
I've got no choice, my body's keeping track
Of the miles I've gone and the miles left to go.
If I stop now, everyone will surely know.
Keep on running....
Keep on running....
Keep on running....
It started when he was just a young boy
Coffee soon became his favorite toy
A cup in the morning began his day,
Soon he was drinking coffee all day
Java junkie - always has a cup of,
Java junkie - never gets enough of,
Java junkie - drinking coffee all day,
Java junkie - to the coffee god he prays.
He's an addict, and that's a fact,
But at least he's not smoking crack
But at least he's not smoking crack
He's an addict, and that's a fact,
But at least he's not smoking crack
But at least he's not smoking crack
You can be sure of that.
His parents feared his new found addiction
So they hid all the coffee away in the kitchen.
Nothing could stop him they knew it was true
He was totally hooked on the java brew.
Java junkie - always has a cup of,
Java junkie - never gets enough of,

Yesterday the leaves were brown,
And I was wearing a big frown.
Because my lover left me for the girl,
That he had loved before.
The sky was cloudy then turned blue,
Because I saw it was no use.
To want someone whose heart was elsewhere.
So I decided not to care. (Oh yeah)
He wants me back,
But he can't have me.
He wants me back,
There's no denying.
He want me back,
He's on his knees.
Now we'll see who's crying.
The grass is greener without you, (It's true)
So many things for me to do.
Living my life for me and on my own.
It's so great to be alone.
And now you're knocking at my door, (Ha Ha)
You've realized you loved me more.
Well I've got no time for apologies,
I've got the world to see.
He wants me back,
But he can't have me.
He wants me back,
There's no denying.
He want me back,
He's on his knees.
Now we'll see who's crying.
He wants me back,
But he can't have me.
He wants me back,
There's no denying.
He want me back,
He's on his knees.
They said you led your life with a well mannered state of mind
They said that you kept your eyes forward and your feet were held by no
binds
They said you were good for me
But I just can't see
How they were ever right
I guess they didn't know you half as well as they must've thought
I guess your friends are just as fooled as you
And you talk and talk but you ain't doing nothing
You said that in all the world there were only two things you despised
The first was a coward and the second one was a liar
You said that honesty
Was your policy
But that in itself is a lie
Forgot to add hypocrite to your little list of how to run your life
I guess your friends are just as fooled as you
And you talk and talk but you ain't doing nothing
Well I say I lead my life with a well mannered state of mind
I say I like to keep moving forward and be held by no binds
You may call me ambitious
But I don't see
How there's any other way to be
'Cause I day is a lifetime if you'll only sweep your problems away
I guess your friends are just as fooled as you
I don't wanna go out with you tonight,
I just wanna stay home and fight.
Nothing sounds more fun than what we do,
Can't imagine more fun with you.
Do I remember what fun you can be,
No - it's been too long since you've had it with me.
Why would I want to have a good time
When we can stay home and not spend a dime.
It's always fun to be with you
And never have anything to do.
Why go out when we can fight,
It's what we're used to every night.
I don't wanna go out with you tonight,
I just wanna stay home and fight.
Nothing sounds more fun than what we do,
Can't imagine more fun with you.

Why would I want to have a good time
When we can stay home and not spend a dime.
It's always fun to be with you
And never have anything to do.
Why go out when we can fight,
I can't seem to remember if you were kinder
Did you even care about my peave of mind
I find that in the end you're just a big old...
I can't seem to recall why you keep on laughing
At your stupid jokes, they're a waste of your time
Cause I find that in the end, you're just a big old bore
And I never wanted more than just a little fun
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
And I don't wanna live up to your standards
I can't seem to believe how your little obsession
Has you by the throat and has you running blind
I find that in the end you're just a big old...
I can't seem to believe how you keep on clutching
With all your might to your nickles and dimes
I find that in the end you're just a big old bore
And I never wanted more than just a little fun
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
And I don't wanna live up to your standards
I'd always thought that we had the same goals
But now I know what you're after
You'll do anything to get what you want
And there's nothing that I wouldn't put past you
It's pathetic to see how uptight you can be
When things don't all go your way
I can't seem to remember when you first began to
Start this shit and try to mess with my mind
I find that in the end you're just a big old...
I can't seem to recall why years have gone by
And you're still the same, you stay trailing behind
And I find that in the end you know you're a big old bore
Who wished that she'd had more than just a little fun
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
Woke up this morning and I looked outside.
Just an average day, no new surprise.
Picked up the paper and I read the front page
and what it said just blew me away.
Top of the page and printed in red,
caught my eye and here's what it said -
Something is wrong in the world today.
Work, war, and crime can't walk a straight line.
Out on the dance floor everything's gonna be alright.
Out on the dance floor, Dance Hall, Dance Hall Crashers tonight.
The world's a mess, some people always say.
Well you know their right, but who am I to say.
We keep on living and we take it all in stride
Cause if we worry too much, we'll never stay alive.
Just keep on what you're doing, don't always look back -
What happened then, it's all in the past.
Just live for the moment and do what you will.
We'll keep on playing, cause we know the bill.
Out on the dance floor everything's gonna be alright.
Out on the dance floor, Dance Hall, Dance Hall Crashers tonight.
So if something's wrong in the world today,
Well, that's alright, that's what we say,
Worry about the next day, when it's time has come,
Just get up on your feet now and don't miss this song.
We're all rocking steady, you should try it too.
Don't worry about your image, it's just me and you.
We're here right now, and that's all we care about.
Don't worry about tomorrow, let's go all out!
Out on the dance floor everything's gonna be alright.
On a normal day I'd treat you like I did today
I don't know why I need the pain
On a normal day I'd stop it all and tell you why
I pulled the plug, threw it away
If only it would get better I'd smile as if I felt it
Although if it ever got better...
I might go throw it all away
The way you always do
I might just bury you alive
And go do something new
If I've asked before then turn around and shut the door
The answer I don't wanna know
If I've asked before, then tell me to go home
I think it's probably time that I should go
If only it would get better I'd smile as if I felt it
Although if it ever got better...
I might go throw it all away
The way you always do
I might just bury you alive
And go do something new
It doesn't matter if you tell the truth
It doesn't seem to pay off when it comes the time
It doesn't matter if you're clean or if your soul is black
They believe that you are kind
If only it would get better I'd smile as if I felt it
Although if it ever got better...
I might go throw it all away
The way you always do
I might just bury you alive
Tell me about what you think today
What are you doing? What do you want to say?
Tell me about what's been going on
Where have you been? Thought you were gone
Tell me what you can't tell me about
I won't listen but I'll tell them all anyhow
Tell me what you really want to say
I don't care, I'll ask anyway
What do you think about what they all did?
Say something bad, what do you really want to admit?
You can tell me, I won't say a word
Trust me, I won't tell the world
Won't tell them what you did last night
Won't tell them why you started that really big fight
Or why you ran out that time
It's none of my business but I'm gonna make it mine
You keep talking
I'll keep listening
But really it's the same
It's the same old story
Tell me about how it all went wrong
Who do you blame? Who from your world is gone?
You know I've been through it too
It's off the record, I promise you
So tell me all of the private things
What don't I know, tell me who gave you that ring?
What about your private line?
Won't give it out, at least not this time
You keep talking
I'll keep listening
Really it's the same
It's the same old story
I don't care what you want me to say
You're gonna write what you want to anyway
Why are you wasting time on me?
Just write what you want me to be
'Cause I don't care what you want me to say
It's the same old story, who's gonna care anyway
Promise me, you won't ask about
As I was walking on the bridge the other day,
I thought I saw you but you ducked and drove away.
I could've sworn you told me that you were gonna be on the town.
I wanted to make sure but I couldn't track you down.
And then the other night I tried to surprise you at your work,
But the guys in your office told me you'd gone home early with a smirk.
Funny thing, you weren't at home and I began to sense a change.
It was then that I figured out that something was a little strange.
For so long I thought you were better than anything,
But now I realize that you're not the way you seem.
You must have thought that I was much too dumb to figure out
That you're a lying cheat that's always running about.
Like all those nights you told me you were going out with the guys.
Did you think I'd believe you after you told 26 lies?
For so long I thought you were better than anything,
But now I realize that you're not the way you seem.
For so long I thought you were better than anything,
When you walked by, I saw a small tear in your eye
Lifted you up and threw you into the sun
When you returned, you were a little burned
But you learned the secret of it all
And you thought that you would burn
That'd be too easy
It was only the end of the beginning
'Cause now it can be Elvis and me
I thought you knew, what it was that I had to do
Never occurred that you would just roll over
I had to go, not very long though you know
Guess for you it was am eternity
And if you think you've got it now
Go start your crying
It's gonna be different when I'm home
'Cause it's gonna be Elvis and me
It's just Elvis and me, it's gonna be Elvis and me
just Elvis and me, just Elvis and me
So if you think you've got it now
Go start your crying
It's gonna be different when I'm home
'Cause it's gonna be Elvis and me
(It's gonna be Elvis, it's gonna be Elvis)
(It's gonna be Elvis, it's gonna be Elvis)
I wish I could fix it so that you understand
If I cracked my head it would bleed like mercury
The pieces of the poison raining above
Won't touch you now, I'll never let it again
So if you think you've got it now
Continue your crying
It's gonna be different when I'm home
'Cause it's gonna be Elvis and me
It's just Elvis and me, it's always been Elvis and me
Goals turned toward consumption away from the way we think
More concerned about what's in our pockets than the water that we
drink
Apathy increasing where skepticism once prevailed
Ignorance covering the youth like a bride's white veil
It's the blind leading the blind, happens all the time
In our politics and our schools, now's the time to wake up before we
end up fools
Convenience is the rule, in life from day to day
Reduction of ambition is becoming the way
Education lowers its standards in an attempt to be fair
Lack of encouragement causes students not to care
It's the blind leading the blind, happens all the time
In our politics and our schools, now's the time to wake up before we
end up fools
Wake up and smell the coffee, separate the fiction from the fact
Look at the world today and you'll see it's time to act
Changing one's actions is certainly a start but only if the change
comes truly from the heart
It's the blind leading the blind, happens all the time
In our politics and our schools, now's the time to wake up before we
telling me what to do with my life,
telling me that i'm no good,
telling me that you are the very best
you're driving me up the wall.
at one time you were on top.
you thought you were a hot shot,
you never thought the ride would stop.
now the roller coaster's over,
your only pal is your dog, Rover.
so much for your stay at the top.
talking about your lucky big deals,
demanding to top the bill.
boring, it's all so boring.
i'm so glad the spotlight's gone.
at one time you were on top.
you thought you were a hot shot,
you never thought the ride would stop.
now the roller coaster's over,
your only pal is your dog, Rover.
so much for your stay at the top.
now that the spotlight is gone,
running toward the bandwagon
claiming everything is fine.
you can't hide from the truth.
at one time you were on top.
you thought you were a hot shot,
you never thought the ride would stop.
now the roller coaster's over,
your only pal is your dog, Rover.
It feeds on every dream you've had
And lures you in, only to feel bad
That dull thud you've gotten used to
Is just her way of welcoming you
It never meant to kill you
But of course, it's deliberate too
Those promises meant nothing
She just laughs at your chest pounding
Beverly kills, don't let it get you
Beverly kills, don't let it get you
Beverly kills, don't let it get you
Don't let Beverly kill you too
Anxiety, you've come to know
Just relax and try to breathe slow
There's nothing much you can do
Just don't let her see what scares you
Beverly kills, don't let it get you
Beverly kills, don't let it get you
Beverly kills, don't let it get you
Don't let Beverly kill you too
And if you get out of there alive
Try to find a place to go run and hide
Where your heart won't turn black
Just bring your soul back
Beverly kills
Beverly kills
Beverly kills, don't let it get you
Beverly kills, don't let it get you
Beverly kills, don't let it get you
The first time, you knew it was true
You loved her and she had to have you
All that night, she made you feel so strong
And husky, male and musky,
Then she got on your horse and took off
That was the last you saw of her
You'd like to think you know her
Know what it takes to make her purr
But she don't live here anymore
You looked around, I'll admit it was sad
Trying to hide that you wanted her so bad
It took some time, then you finally saw her again
And she ignored you like the rancid mustard
In the fridge door
And then, she left with Damon from Blur
You'd like to think you know her
Know what it takes to make her purr
But she don't live here anymore
She don't live here any
She don't live here any
She don't live here anymore
She don't live here any
She don't live here any
She don't live here anymore
You'd like to think you know her
Know what it takes to make her purr
But she don't live here anymore (she don't live here anymore)
You'd like to think you know her
Know what it takes to make her purr
i can't believe the time - it's getting to be late,
so crowded in the state of my mind
i can't seem to think straight,
it's hard to tell my fate anymore
so would you be so kind to tell me which direction is the door?
how will i manage to survive while i'm fighting this fiend?
welcome to the american machine
blame - blame it on the game,
the move of the technocrat, watch him tip his hat, he's got no name
corporation enterprise always tries to justify the end
only for the short term, profits will be just around the bend
how will i manage to survive while i'm fighting this fiend?
welcome to the american machine
oh i see the river red,
the government, the pentagon, choose to feed the green beret instead
the streets are filled with homeless
the ignorant have nowhere to go
so tell me where's the medicare, amidst all the nuclear show?
how will i manage to survive while i'm fighting this fiend?
You've been quiet too long
Do you want company or to be left alone
'Cause when your halo dissolves (halo dissolves)
You blow volcanic and your sweet little voice explodes
Flashes of rage, is this just a stage
'Cause you can change from angel to devil
Well, is this just a phase
Or is it something I'll have to get used to
'Cause did you know there's a space (space in between)
The highs above and the depths to which you love
It's only ground, dirty and brown
But I'll keep you down, so you don't flip just like that
Ohhh, just like that
Ohhh, ohhh, I'm just like that
Ohhh, ohhh, I'm just like that
Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh...
You know you look so divine
Almost forgotten the things you put me through
When you start to unwind (start to unwind)
Become Lucifer with your bad mood
Nothing I can do, comes out of the blue
It's time that you knew that I can change too like that
Ohhh, just like that
Ohhh, ohhh, I'm just like that
Ohhh, ohhh, I'm just like that
Ohhh, ohhh, ohhhhhh... wow!
Ohhh, ohhh, I'm just like that
Ohhh, ohhh, I'm just like that
Ohhh, ohhh, I'm just like that
Ohhh, ohhh, I'm just like that
(From angel to devil)
Ohhh, ohhh, I'm just like that
(Why do you keep changing)
Ohhh, ohhh, I'm just like that
(From angel to devil)
Ohhh, ohhh, I'm just like that
(I can't keep track)
I smile at you at the show
Bullshit along with your niceties
Then I sit back and watch you go
Suck up to people you wanna be
Oooh, but I've got it
Oooh, that you're not it
Oooh, and it's just a matter of time
Before one by one, your friends
Fully discover
The real you
The real you
The real you
I gotta say you're good at what you do
Charming first impressions
But you're not keeping everyone fooled
Beware of their suspicions
Oooh, 'cause they'll get it
Oooh, that you're not it
Oooh, and it's just a matter of time
Before one by one, your friends
Fully discover
The real you
The real you
The real you
The real you
The real you
The real you
Oooh, well, they'll get it
Oooh, that you're not it
Oooh, and it's just a matter of time
Before one by one, your friends
Fully discover
The real you
The real you
The real you
The real you
The real you
i woke up early on a friday night
my head was spinning from the neon lights
took pills and whiskey just to ease my pain
my tears were falling down like acid raindrops
ain't got no one that i can call my own
i do my talking on the telephone
i get my comfort any way i can
don't get no love from any girl or man
ain't got no one that i can call my own
i do my talking on the telephone
truly comfortable, truly comfortable
i've never been so, i've never been so
i've never been so, i've never been so
i hear the music on the radio
i watch the people as they come and go
another day goes by i stay at home
i've got your picture but i'm all alone
look in the mirror and i see myself
the perfect picture of my fading health
no one there who wants to look me up
go to the kitchen and i drink a cup
ain't got no one that i can call my own
i do my talking on the telephone
truly comfortable, truly comfortable
i've never been so, i've never been so
i've never been so, i've never been so...
go to the window on a friday night
this time around i'll take a different flight
i took my chances any way i could
i've tried my hardest but it's just no good
look at the pictures thrown accross the floor
i don't believe that i can take much more
i pull the covers way above my head
the ceiling crumbles all around my bed
ain't got no one that i can call my own
i do my talking on the telephone
truly comfortable, truly comfortable
i've never been so, i've never been so
i've never been so, i've never been so
i've never been so, i've never been so
Give us one, give us one reason to
Give us one reason to make an impression
Give us two, give us two reasons to
Give us two reasons, we'll start this obsession again
Don't look now, it's telling lies again
Don't you know that the mirror is not your friend?
Unless you're beautiful
And then, it could be the answer to your problems
Do you think you're beautiful?
All cool and irreplacable
Does it really matter at all?
Do you think you're beautiful?
Pretty girl, the one we idolize
Has she got cellulite or conversational skills
Is she real, did she enhance appeal
To make us love her more, who is the fool if she did?
Do you feel ashamed of who you are?
Do you love the color of your skin?
Did dad pay enough attention?
Or did your brother get more than you?
Do you think you're beautiful?
All cool and irreplacable
Does it really matter at all?
Do you think you're beautiful?
Where should we start?
Beauty queen, magazine, steroids and silicone
Pick apart
Mirror, mirror, who is the fairest of them all?
Wouldn't you rather be smart
Than worry about what it means to get by
If you don't look right
Do you just, do you just tell yourself
That you are beautiful, do you believe it?
Did your mom say the right things to you?
Did she encourage you on your ventures?
Did junior high break you down?
Were the kids so mean that you've never quite recovered?
Or were you popular?
Or were you too busy doing your own thing?
Do you think you're beautiful?
All cool and irreplacable
Does it really matter at all?
Do you think you're beautiful?
Oh, do you think you're beautiful?
All cool and irreplacable
Does it really matter at all?
There was a boy and he thought himself quite special
Somehow important and confidently able
He didn't care if your face got under his foot
As long as he didn't stop to have to look
He had a chest for the trophies that he'd stolen
He shined them every morning on his way in
And even he really started to believe it
Rationalizing that they were meant for him
But I know that you're not the king of the setting sun
I know what you are and have done
And that crown you found is gonna leave
On your head a big green ring
You're not the king of the setting sun
I know what you have not done
And you're gonna burn in Hell
He sometimes wondered if he was just trash
He felt guilty one day, but it passed
And after that, he convinced even himself
That everyone loved him and no one else
But I know that you're not the king of the setting sun
I know what you are and have done
And that crown you found is gonna leave
On your head a big green ring
You're not the king of the setting sun
I know what you have not done
And you're gonna burn in Hell
Thinking back, you smiled at
How you'd come this far
And how the idiots had bought into what
You told them you are
Now, hold really still and hope that they don't see
That you're one big vacancy
But I know that you're not the king of the setting sun
I know what you are and have done
And that crown you found is gonna leave
On your head a big green ring
You're not the king of the setting sun
I know what you have not done
You know, you brought your girl up well
So well, that everyone can always tell
That you had some work to do
Thought she'd get the best of you
I'm glad that you never gave up on her
Shut the door or sent her away
You didnt know what else to say
But you loved her
You knew that she'd have to go
And told her all the things she never wanted to know
Because she already knew everything
Didn't she?
And so you kicked her out into
the bright light
and of course it started a fight
but it would be the last
Because she's trying
She's trying
Trying hard to do what you taught her to
She's trying
She's trying
Trying hard to be what you want her to
You know, you brought your girl up well
So well, the day she came and told you she fell in love
And packed her bags
You hid your
smile, didn't laugh
You sat her down and told her the rules of love
Watch your back and trust no-one
And most of all just dont forget
To get a pre-nup
And then when she went away
And came running back the very next day
You didn't tell her that you told her so
Even though you
Knew that she'd have to skin and break
Her own leg
And of course you feel it to
Pick her up, it'd be enough
Because she's trying
She's trying
Trying hard to do what you taught her to
She's trying
She's trying
Trying hard to be what you want her to
You know, you brought your girl up well
So well that even though she put you through hell
You'd figure it was worth it
Even though it wasnt perfect
I'm glad that you never gave up on her
Shut the door or sent her away
You didnt know what else to say
But you loved her
You knew that she'd have to go
And told her all the things she never wanted to know
Because she already knew everything
Didn't she?
And so you kicked her out into
the bright light
and of course it started a fight
but it would be the last
Because she's trying
She's trying
Trying hard to do what you taught her to
She's trying
She's trying
Sometimes i think that my life has just begun
And someday I'll have my day in the sun
But the best days of my life have past
And they went by so very fast
It scares me to think just where my life has gone
And that I may never see tomorrow's dawn
I remember sitting on the swing
I was nearly seven years old
Contemplating, planning out my dreams
Which of course woudl later be sold
I would be happiness and grace
Then wake on this track of life and find that I am losing the race
I find myself looking forward into time
Do as they say and you will be fine
Don't try to argue and don't try to complain
Hide your anger and your pain
It scares me to think just where my life has gone
And that I may never see tomorrow's dawn
I remember when I used to be so young and so carefree
Now my life is filled with problems and responsibilites
Getting home by four to watch richie rich and scooby-doo
Was all that ever worried me, it was all I had to do
Looking at the older kids, always thought they were so great
Saw them hanging out at parties, always got to stay out late
By the time I reached that age the novelty had all but faded
Now that we are old and grey we've become annoyed and jaded
Thinking back to the time when I was young
I thought it would be so fun to grow up
And do anything I want
It didn't turn out the way that I thought
It would be happiness and grace
You sigh and say goodbye
And turn while I scratch out my eyes
What have I done this time
Nevermind last year
Never wanted to be
All of the things I'm sure are me
Finally, I can see
You're too good for this
And I know I'm too late
'Cause there's already nothing left to say
There's really nothing left to say
There's nothing left to say
Oh, if you only knew
How often I thought of you
And how you would feel
You would smile for sure
So you can't be mad
When you don't get your sweater back
'Cause it's the only part of you
That I can hold
And I know I'm too late
'Cause there's already nothing left to say
There's really nothing left to say
There's nothing left to say
And I know I'm too late (oooh)
'Cause there's nothing left to say
And at the end of today, it's far too late
But I really never ever wanted it to come to this
'Cause the final chapter, I never realized
That it truly was the end
Oooh, all I was trying to do
Was to have and not hurt you
Couldn't bear to lose
My best friend again
And as you walk away
Please believe me when I say
That it meant everything
To me too
And I know I'm too late
'Cause there's already nothing left to say
There's really nothing left to say
There's nothing left to say
there he goes running down the street.
he's moving and panting and stomping his feet.
he's hoping and trying to lose the law.
he's almost away but there is a flaw.
he hit a dead end and there is no way out,
but it seems as if he has no doubt.
look at that hole in the wall to his right.
he's punching the bricks out with all of his might.
he's making his way through little by little.
one minute more and he'll get to the middle.
he gets to the other side and sees it,
his big black car with his driver in it.
the cops are gaining with each passing moment.
it's making him nervous but he'll never show it.
he's too rough for anyone...
he's the 7th street gangster.
he looks in the mirror and pulls out his gun,
cocks it and aims it ready for fun.
got a big problem, his bullets are gone.
but even worse his driver named Don
is passed out on the floor of the car.
with him down there, they won't go far.
the only solution is under his seat,
he pushes the button - the ground leaves his feet.
once again the 7th street gangster has won.
why do people challenge him when they know what will be done?
he's never lost and i doubt he ever will.
we always need a skinhead BBQ back in the month of June
to ward off all the bad feelings left over from the fall and spring.
we must rely on common sense to keep us out of any mess,
protect all those who do attend and entertain them until the end.
why can't all things be simple just like a BBQ,
a summer skinhead BBQ - someday they will, someday they will, someday they will.
hamburgers and hot dogs, chips and onion dip,
watermelon and hawaiian punch to sip,
don't forget the oreos, double stuff - of course.

Four days left in the week
And already I looked ahead
I'm tired, so anxious
Dazed, confused and seeing red
Sometimes the day seem so long
I wish my boss hadn't taken my bong
Sometimes the days seem long
So long
I stare at the clock
It doesn't move, no, not all
The work day is so long
Like a night of insomnia
Sometimes the day seem so long
I wish my boss hadn't taken my bong
Sometimes the days seem long
So long
So I shut my eyes and fantasize
About anything that'll come to mind
To more perverse the better
I shut my eyes and fantasize
About all the really horrendous things
I could be doing
I shut my eyes and fantasize
There are better be more than this
Is this a really bad joke?
I could be out right now doing
All the really horrendous things
I've been imagining
It couldn't possibly be so boring
So boring, so boring
Friday, only one more day
To endure this tediousness
The clock won't move at all
So I wait and I wait
Sometimes the days seem so long
I wish my boss hadn't taken my bong
Sometimes the days seem long
So long
So I shut my eyes and fantasize
About anything that'll come to mind
The more perverse the better
I shut my eyes and fantasize
About all the really horrendous things
I could be doing
Do you know what you did today?
How much more do you think she'll handle this way?
What are you doing this for, leave her alone
She never asked for a thing
So you keep on taking them from her
When is she ever gonna get her turn
To hold onto something just for once
Or doesn't she get to?
Close your eyes
I'll watch over you
Just tell me
What you want me to do
Close your eyes
Just remember to breathe
Fate I guess, but it seems so unfair
At some point, you've gotta at least pretend to care
And I hope that you are paying attention
Because I know she is
How can you expect her to be strong
I'm sure that her mother must've asked you to stop
She's had enough, just allow her to smile for a day
Or doesn't she get to?
Close your eyes
I'll watch over you
Just tell me
What you want me to do
Close your eyes
Just remember to breathe
Close your eyes
I'll watch over you
Just tell me
What you want me to do
Close your eyes
Just remember to breathe
Close your eyes
I'll watch over you
Just tell me
What you want me to do
Close your eyes
Just remember to breathe
Close your eyes
I'll watch over you
Just tell me
What you want me to do
Close your eyes
Like to believe there's something more out there
Like to believe that I'm not the only one
Who looks around and feels overcome
So much to do, too many choices
Which one will be the road that becomes my own
Should I act or should I take it slow
'Cause when the nagging feeling takes hold
I have to leave it alone
Well, I'm anxious and restless
I guess that's what it's like to be young
Well, I'm anxious and restless
I guess that's what it's like to be young
Sweet little girl dreamed of the day when
She'd stand up tall and tell the whole world her plan
Her voice will shine as she takes command
Now she'll be heard and she's got the forum
It has arrived, this moment is here for her
But she finds it doesn't matter
Well, she's got nothing to say now that this day has come
Well, I'm speechless and tongue tied
I guess that's what it's like to be young
Well, I'm speechless and tongue tied
I guess that's what it's like to be young
Living day by day gets harder to face
When all the questions drive you insane
Pick one up, throw it into the sky
I want to feel free and have fun
'Cause that's what it really means to be young
I bring it on and drive myself crazy
I want it all and then I want no one's help
I need to make it by myself
And if I achieve what I think I wanted
Will I receive a medal of happiness
Will it make my confusion less
'Cause when the nagging feeling takes hold
I have to leave it alone
Well, I'm anxious and restless
I guess that's what it's like to be young
Well, I'm anxious and restless
I guess that's what it's like to be young
Well, I'm anxious and restless
You're the one I've been waiting on
What took you, what took you so long?
I'd just about given up on this
Oh yeah, oh yeah, don't you wish
That you could go and forget about me
But that, but that'd be too easy
Don't you know that you're all mine
Mine, until, till the end of time
Because now I've got you
And I never gonna let you go
You can try to run
Just remember that I told you so
I look at you and I see myself
Oh boy, boy do you need help?
'Cause your mind's as twisted as mine
Never thought, never thought I'd find
Any man that could get me to bite
At least every, at least every night
So I'm afraid you're stuck with me
Hope that makes you, hope that makes you happy
Because now I've got you
And I'm never gonna let you go
You can try to run
Just remember that I told you so
You're the one I've been waiting on
What took you, what took you so long?
I'd just about given up on this
Oh yeah, oh yeah, don't you wish
That you could go and forget about me
But that, but that'd be too easy
Better be ready to be all mine
Mine until, till the end of, mine until the end of time
Because now I've got you
And I'm never gonna let you go
You can try to run
Just remember that I told you so
Gonna keep you, gonna keep you
Gonna keep you for myself
Gonna keep you, gonna keep you
Gonna keep you for myself
Gonna keep you, gonna keep you
Gonna keep you for myself
Gonna keep you, gonna keep you
If you don't know me please why don't you tell me
cuz I don't want to be with you no more.
The story that you tell please somebody yell
I feel the sound before I hear your voice
A midnight battle, the moon casts a shadow
I swear I won't know of you anymore
From a phone booth, (dime, dyin) tell the truth
I look up through this splint of broken glass.
Now you don't got a picture of me anymore
Now you don't got a picture of me anymore
If you don't know me please why don't you tell me
cuz I don't want to be with you no more.
The story that you tell please somebody yell
I feel the sound before I hear your voice
If I thought it possible would you render it impossible
Get as close to darkness as you can
From a phone booth, (dime, dyin) tell the truth
I look up through this splint of broken glass.
Now you don't got a picture of me anymore
Now you don't got a picture of me anymore
If you don't know me please why don't you tell me
cuz I don't want to be with you no more.
The story that you tell please somebody yell

I look up through this splint of broken glass
Now you don't got a picture of me anymore
Now you don't got a picture of me anymore
Now you don't got a picture of me anymore
I'd really rather be alone
I'd really rather be on my own
What part of no don't you understand
Won't you just let go of my hand
Maybe it's just time you knew the truth
Don't think I'm coming off as rude
I really like this solitude
My company suits me just fine
In fact I think it's quite divine
Maybe it's just time you knew the truth
Hey, hey I love to hear myself talk
I'm my own favorite audience
'Cause I'm the funniest person I know
If you were me I'm sure you'd agree
I know you claim I'm being vague
But I'm afraid it's not that way
You can come over don't stay long
Call me next week 'cause I'll be gone
Maybe it's just time you knew the truth
Hey, hey, I love to hear myself talk
I'm my own favorite audience
'Cause I'm the funniest person I know
If you were me I'm sure you'd agree
I'm building up my barricade
I'd rather if you don't invade
Oh I'm sick of all this obligation
Do you really need more explanation
Maybe this time you will finally see
That hey, hey, I love to hear myself talk
I'm my own favorite audience
'Cause I'm the funniest person I know
If you were me I'm sure you'd agree
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
I never thought about it before
Just close your eyes and ignore
The dark that troubles you most
Don't let it be here...
And if you see it again
Hold your breath and pretend
That you're already dead
You'll never be alone
I will always hold your hand
I'll never let you fall,
'cause nothing
Nothing else matters at all...
If you're scared just think of me
'cause you know I'll never let you be...
Anywhere. but with me.
Forget the story you heard,
Why are you worried about the dirt.
I don't think that you'll mind
When it's your time.
Cause I will be there with you
And we'll figure out what to do
So that you don't get bored.
You'll never be alone;.
I will always hold your hand
I'll never let you fall,
'cause nothing,
Nothing else matters at all...
If your scared just think of me
'cause you know I'll never let you be.
Anywhere... but with me.
So try to sleep with a smile
I promise I'll wait awhile
to make sure that you've moved on
You won't be lost
I will always hold your hand
I'll never let you fall,
cause nothing,
nothing else matters at all...
If your scared just think of me
cause you know i'll never let you be.
Stopped taking pictures long ago
We'll probably be there tomorrow
I guess I'm having fun, I don't know
It's hard to tell anymore
Don't panic from the static in the air, it's not there
It's just a subtle form of insanity
Nobody ever warned us that our heads would start to rot
As we see everything repeating
Can't stand no more, it's never ending
Can't stand anymore
Let's go do it over again
Let's go do it over again
Late night TV is such a bore
Seems like I've seen this all before
Don't know if I can take anymore
I think my mind is going
Nothing's funny but my smile is glued on
I don't bother taking it off at night
Nobody ever warned me that my head would start to rot
Where's a Poltergeist when you need it?
Can't stand no more, it's never ending
Can't stand anymore
Let's go do it over again
Let's go do it over again
Can't stand no more, it's never ending
Can't stand anymore
Let's go do it over again
Let's go do it over again
I'm gonna go lay down in front of the tires
Be a doll and get some chicken wire
Tie me up in case I change my mind
Trust me you'll join me in time
As much as you think that I'm being too dramatic
You'll be the only one hearing static
You know I'm joking but then again at least it
Couldn't happen all over again
Can't stand no more, it's never ending
Can't stand anymore
Let's go do it over again
Let's go do it over again
Love you, mean it but it's never ending
Love you, we mean it
Let's go do it over again
I saw you
I saw who you really were
You were something
Truly to me
Not that you would ever know
For anything
How I watched you (how I watched you)
And everything that you did (and everything)
In spite of them
Didn't you know (didn't you know)
That you had everything to lose (had everything)
Why didn't you care?
What drove you to?
Why would you?
With everything to lose
What drove you to?
How could you?
With everything to lose
You were the only
One who made sense to me
The irony
And I hate them
For everything they didn't know
But always wrote
Your vision made it (your vision made it)
Worthwhile and I knew (worthwhile and I knew)
That I lost that too
And now, I don't know (now, I didn't know)
What I should say, only that (I should say)
I know I miss you
What drove you to?
Why would you?
With everything to lose
What drove you to?
How could you?
With everything to lose
With everything to lose
How couldn't you know
Where it would go?
I don't believe that you didn't care
How could you say
That it was OK
When you lied about it each day?
What are you gonna tell them
When they are old enough to understand
Why they found you face down
What drove you to?
Why would you?
With everything to lose
What drove you to?
How could you?
With everything to lose
With everything to lose
With everything to lose
With everything, with everything
It's morning two and you haven't called me
It's like a thorn burning in my side
Open the blinds, but something is different, can't put my finger on it
The bright clean air makes me wanna hide
'Cause now, oh now, this is how it ends
Based on promises that we'll still be friends
But ba da, ba da, ba ba ba da, I know it'll never be the same
Ba da, ba da, ba ba ba da, now it's all been broken
Ba da, ba da, ba ba ba da, I know it'll never be the same
Ba da, ba da, ba ba ba da, you know I'd still do anything for you
Where is the day you used to inspire me?
Where is the time I used to depend?
On the relief of your anchor I thought I'd never need
Now that it's gone, will I slip away?
So now, oh now, this is how it ends
Based on promises that we'll still be friends
But ba da, ba da, ba ba ba da, I know it'll never be the same
Ba da, ba da, ba ba ba da, now it's all been broken
Ba da, ba da, ba ba ba da, I know it'll never be the same
Ba da, ba da, ba ba ba da, you know I'd still do anything
This is only a letter
Jumbled words, no false pretense
And it's not a true confession
'Cause you've cost me much more than you'll ever guess
But I'm not your fallen hero
Someone who came to your defense
And when it's all done and over
I'll make it, I'll make it, I'll make it, I'll make it make sense
Know it'll never be
Know it'll never be
Know it'll never be
Know it'll never be
Ba da, ba da, ba ba ba da, I know it'll never be the same
Ba da, ba da, ba ba ba da, now it's all been broken
Ba da, ba da, ba ba ba da, I know it'll never be the same
Santa kissed me under the mistletoe
Tasted like egg nog and it was gross
Said he was lonely and it had been a while
The elves run frantic when they see that look in his eyes
He sat me down and went on and on
Wouldn't shut up about how Mrs. Claus had gone
He said the plumber must've done something right
He fixed her pipes and she paid him back all through the night...
Fa la la la la la
Fa la la la la la
Fa la la la la la
Fa la la la la la
Santa kissed me under the mistletoe
I guess I'm wondering how far this would go
We talked and drank until it was light
Then the bartender kicked us out 'cause we got into a fight
But I kept thinking of the swag for free
Besides the old geezer needs some company
Well I've been broke this year
It wouldn't be so bad
I hate to admit it, but he's the best I've ever had...
Fa la la la la la
Fa la la la la la
Fa la la la la la
Fa la la la la la
Santa kissed me and I kissed him back
But I did it for the toys
Figured I could get something more
Than I did from other boys
Santa kissed me and I kissed him back
But I did it for the toys
Smiled at me and wanted to see if I would
But he's a pervert you can tell by his smile
Or check the NAMBLA membership locked in his files
That big red suit and jolly face is a disguise
He only took it for the joys
Of little kids bouncing on his thighs
He drives me crazy now, he calls me all the time
I'm gonna dump him as soon as I get what's mine
Guess I should really reveal my family ties
He won't get a clue so I hit him with a matzo ball
Right between the eyes...
Fa la la la la la
Fa la la la la la
Fa la la la la la
Fa la la la la la
Santa kissed me and I kissed him back
But I did it for the toys
Figured I could get something more
Than I did from other boys
Santa kissed me and I kissed him back

Smiled at me and wanted to see if I would
Santa kissed me and I kissed him back

Smiled at me and wanted to see if I would
The back alley cat fight
Made me get my water pistol from Chinatown out
A pink dragon with light blue horns
That shoots a stream of water from its mouth, like fire
It worked on them, a toy like that
I'm back in bed, just like that
Now, it's 6 AM, my head is spinning, the neighbor's yelling
He wants to know which cat was winning
Cat fight
Everyone loves a cat fight
For the sick minds
Don't give 'em what they want
Well, it's just another night
And another round of screaming cat fights
What's the thing they're fighting over now
And is it worth the ticket price?
Animals of territory
Losing every ounce of glory
While the claws and pulling hair get top attention
Need I mention, no one's trying an intervention
Cat fight
Everyone loves a cat fight
For the sick minds
Don't give 'em what they want
Cat fight
Everyone loves a cat fight
For the sick minds
Don't give 'em what they want
Well, she started eyes at me
Who does she think she is?
Don't you know who I am?
Well, that was a show for you
It's all you're gonna see
'Cause we don't believe
Now there's a conspiracy
And I think we should test a theory
Let's stage the biggest cat fight
Ever seen in history and then
When they get excited
Turn around and be united
So they'll know forever, when we're together
That they'll never be able to set us against each other
Cat fight
Everyone loves a cat fight
For the sick minds
Don't give 'em what they want
Cat fight
Everyone loves a cat fight
For the sick minds
Don't give 'em what they want
Don't give 'em what they want
I don't know just where it
all goes, I', in debt up to my nose
Get credit now for 20 percent, buy a car, don't spend a cent
Take a ride, don't you like nice, you can look
good for a price
Go to London for a year, hope you can survive on a beer
I feel us sinking in credit quicksand
I feel us choking
Oh, we owe, we owe, we owe, we owe
I don't know who thought that I would do well with a
credit line
First it was a stereo, then a snowboard and a phone
Finally found a new guitar, put some money down on a car
Next gig aint for seventh weeks, holy hell I'm up a creek
I feel us sinking in credit quicksand
I feel us choking
Oh, we owe, we owe, we owe, we owe
I don't know where it all goes, guess it was the job I choose
Gone a week and late on rent, my landlord is always bent
You'd think I could save a dime, working always, all the time
Wanna quit but I don't know, oh we owe, we owe, we owe,
we owe
I don't know where it all went, haven't got a single cent
Took my car away from me, now I'm riding RTD
Cut my card up yesterday, guess it's the price I pay
Got a new one in the mail - look at me settin sail
I feel us sinking in credit quicksand
I feel us choking
