They married young she became a widow
And for all of her bingo friends- ditto
She succumbed to ordinary jive
And was miserable
Tired of waiting for her ship and captain
Too afraid that the prior would happen
Fell in love with an ordinary guy
Who was dressed in drag
Your love's better than aliens tonight
-repeat-
Your love's better than anything that I like
Alot
How can you bury your head so deep
In the bed (and pillowcase)
Girl, there's no oxygen
Shortly after, the waves came crashing in
She moved on to find bigger fish to swim with
In the lonely, lonely November night
She was abducted on sight
Based on her principles
Your love's better than aliens tonight
-repeat-
- chorus -
you can't, you can't tell me
maybe i'll become a chameleon
you cats
you cats gotta order me
order me the all-american slam and then you got to find me when it's ready
i can't sit in wal-mart
and boil
Instrumental
stand awake and unglued
we've got critical plans
what an incredible view
why don't you soak it all in?
i've been given the option to live into the new year
i've been stuck between a rock and a vinyl interior
and i've got just enough to share
i've got enough to pass it along
and i'm just so damn glad i'm here
isn't everyone?
borateen, tell me what's it all mean
it's bad enough that i'm having to figure it out
borateen, i'm the king of my castle
when i drown it down
you spin me around
not a boy
not a man
innocence dissolved in your hands
it's a crutch
it's a crush
it's a sudden rush and it's unplanned
it's a ball
it's a chain
it's a crying shame that it's a gas
understand it's only urge anyone has
not just anyone
bold as i've become
bite your lazy tongue
it's a sin to me
all your flattery is just sympathy
With all the force behind a driving engine
When all your homies focus their opinion
No conformation, found you floating underwater when..
She's so binocular
She's so binocular
Bet you ya knock her up
* repeat *
when all the angels plotted their descention
from the heavens down to the dirt
found the devil lighting fire underwater when..
- chorus -
candy coated superballs
hail upon uncompleted malls
if it amounts to anything at all
i was drunk when i agreed to this
* repeat 1st verse *
I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, makin' it spin
You're makin' me dizzy
First time that I saw you, girl, I knew that I just had to
make you mine
But it's so hard to talk to you with fellas hangin' round
you all the time
I want you for my sweet pet
But you keep playin' hard to get
Goin' around in circles all the time
Dizzy
I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, makin' it spin
You're makin' me dizzy
I finally got to talk to you and I told you just exactly how
I felt
Then I held you close to me and kissed you and my heart began
to melt
Girl, you've got control of me
'Cause I'm so dizzy I can't see
I need to call a doctor for some help
Dizzy
I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, makin' it spin
You're makin' me dizzy
My head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, makin' it spin
You're makin' me dizzy
Oh, I'm so dizzy
You're makin' me dizzy
bad news is that there's nothing good to say
the minty flavors been chewed to nothing
that i can taste
harsh reality just set in today
that my limbs were drying quickly in concrete and clay
i made my peace with jesus
we wrote a letter to heaven
saying "will you be there to greet us?
or just show us the back door?"
- chorus x 2-
jumping from a bridge
with one hand tied to the railing
i am thinking of you
with cinderblocks for shoes
and with a touchtone phone i listen
to the problems of a city
life is like a hello kitty
voice inside of me thats all gone wrong
when before the door was open
like the window i've broken
i can't help if i'm spacin'
my messiah's freebasing
my blood is boiling and racing
as i crumble at the core
there's something in the water
someone breathing your air now
it will all have to wait
it's quite important that we tie you down and keep you there
- chorus -
she's all gone, shunned by everyone
if you wait too long, they'll cater to your ego
i believe in your head
all the answers are wrong
she didn't count on the backlash rejection
petty little juvenile crimes now
tell me who you startin' to date little girl
a boy or the world
maybe they dig pretention
maybe you dig taboo, now
it'll all have to wait
until we analyze the data when they're thru with you
- chorus -
she's all gone, shunned by everyone
if you wait too long, they'll cater to your ego
ms. know-it-all, it's hard to pick a side
will they break your fall or assasinate your tour guide
i believe in your head
all the the tension is gone
- chorus -
she's all gone, shunned by everyone
if you wait too long, they'll cater to your ego
i believe in your head
Cannon - Are you unnecessary noise?
Cannon - Firing on all of your toys
Cannon - Thinks we're the same but we are
Cannon - Destiny's towing your car
When fire
Meets powder
You take your cover
I fly over and
When fire
Drowns water
It spreads it farther out of my hands
Asking advice from all the clowns
Cannon - Take your frustrations to the ground
Cannon - They wait in the wings for you to fall
Cannon - Can't you make dust of them all?
When fire
Meets powder
You run for cover
I fly under and
When fire
Drowns water
Don't even bother
Out of my hands
In some untimely way
The world asks us to leave
Suddenly we're afraid
No longer can we stay
The thread of life was strung
To each and everyone
I knew it all along
Your call to arms was wrong
Cannon - Are you just unwated noise?
Loose cannon - Remember all those you destroy
When fire
Meets powder
The strongest cower
Half heart
Underhand
When fire
Drowns water

out of control
losing your soul to devils in holes with game all know
forgotten friends died for you sins
you can't make amends in role

brother you're so, so defective
so wrong
he don't know he's infected
you're just so, so wrong
a happy child drinks five alive
freaks bee-bop-a-loo-la yet he's born to be wild
his claim to fame, he met big daddy kane on an amtrak train to ronkonkoma

flashing cash flow at every show
got blow in his nose and stains on his t-shirt
the same old scene like hot wire dreams replace the part where ends justify the means
north eastern southwest mississippi
i'm going to reach my destination alone

i'm going to reach my home
i'll wave to the river as i'm flying over

never mind the times
and as a matter of fact, you're just the kind - alone and temperamental
so rewind the clock, the machine, and your one-wheeled unicycle
and as a matter of fact, you're underpaid for all that you can offer
Forgettful girls, with no thoughts put into action
The world's your distraction while your asleep
At the wheel
Forgetful girl, you've become a mother
Surroundings tend to suffer when the fiction
Is real
I can't lie I'm unable to pretend
I'm unable to defend your actions
-repeat-
Psychic girl, where's my happy ending
Your methods patent pending
So what can't I smile
Psychic girl, caught between the rails
Your hearts still not in it
At three dollars a minute
-chorus-
Lovetalk girl, I'll pin up your photo
And direct my video like I was Aerosmith
Lovetalk girl, to further waste my tissue and time
I'll remain on the line 'till you get off with me
So if you keep me in (today)
I'm gonna hit it so strong
But if you go and kick me out (today)
I'll tell my friends you do me wrong
And if you give me surprises
I'm gonna turn it all around
And if you go and tell me lieses
I'm gonna prove you wrong
I'm gonna prove you wrong
I'm gonna prove you wrong
So won't you shake it all around (again)
Just like you did on tanqueray
You make me feel like I'm twelve (again)
But then you never act your age
So zip it up and take it down
I've got a stereo to sell
So pump it up and pump it down
I wanna be a sensation
[repeat x7]
So if you got the time
Just call me back
If you've got the time
Just call me back
I met you woman in a red raincoat and a beat-up car
You looked a mermaid in your water wings and a push-up bra
Maybe I was nervous, maybe it was fate but I called your phone
You said "Come over" I said "Every day" Now I can't go home
To the store
Up to the moon
You're so busy, you're so busy sending me
To the floor
Up to my room
You're so busy, you're so busy sending me
You introduced me to your neighbor Frank, said "He's a friend of mine"
He was a member of the truly insane and had done hard time
He said "She don't want no money, she doesn't want a date" but my mind's all gone
I know I should run, I know I shouldn't wait, but I can't go home
To the store
Up to the moon
You're so busy, you're so busy sending me
To the floor
Up to my room
Rang her phone and then picked her up
Watch T.V. cause she's the late queen
Post traumatic shock set in
Telling her to cancel the evening
Like an American car
We're proud to be driving
We put all the miles in
Ending up where we are
In the middle of silence
Beckoning violence
I believed that I could never use you up
Do you agree?
Of all the things that I find so unusual
What are you thinking?
And so I slapped the face of love
Clenched fists always seemed to say the right things
First let me up then take me home
So much for talking and compromising
And when you humor me that everything's roses
I know where the truth is
And while your flaunting your planetary halo
I'm watching your nose grow
-chorus-
Where are you going with that head?
Full of anguish and suspense?
Lately I've come to find the silence stifling
Won't you stop this crazy tale
Of one man struggling to prevail
Over the evils of the world
Wait, I'm not down just yet
I've got mountains of regret
And my sorrow fills an ocean
i've got a trunk fulla amps, motherfucker
like freddy mercury, mother-fucker
i've got a trunk fulla amps, motherfucker
got a trunk fulla amps, motherfucker
i've got a trunkfulla amps, motherfucker
like elo, mamma-fucker
i've got a trunk fulla amps, motherfucker
got a trunk fulla amps, motherfucker
i've got amps from sellin' stamps, motherfucker
like glen danzig, mother-fucker

And this I know Leonardo DiCaprio
What a gas it was to see him
Upon the silver screen
In another starring role
With her lips she said, Rose ah..
Hey Jack Hey Jack
I'm gonna jump off the back
Hey Jack Hey Jack
I'm gonna jump off the back
Hey Jack Hey Jack
I'm gonna jump off the back
Of the titanic
Titanic, Titanic
A Big Big Boat
Titanic, Titanic, Titanic
A Big Big Boat
What a lovely lady rose
What a big black sea
What a hunk of boat
We'll walk everyday around this big ass boat
We should dock it, but where would we
Hey Jack Hey Jack
I'm gonna jump off the back
Hey Jack Hey Jack
I'm gonna jump off the back
Hey Jack Hey Jack
I'm gonna jump off the back
Of the Titanic

An iceberg left, you floating here
Just where you were, before it appeared
And its in place, an sea of space
You found you're finally resting place

I'm holding a grudge on her mind
While kids with lazer pointers try to fry mine
The sky is falling as we patch it with twine
I said the sky is falling run for your lives
Somewhere, Someway, Somehow
I need airplanes just to bring her down
She's so high, so far off the ground
Suzie Q Sailaway, just not right now
She climbed the trees behind the house
Had to call the Fire Dept. to get her down
Feet to the branches from the branch to the wind
She shot skyward before they could begin
Somewhere, Someway, Somehow
I need airplanes just to bring her down
She's so high, so far off the ground
Suzie Q Sailaway, just not right now
She's so high - repeat 4x
I can't be Superman today
She's taken my Up, Up, and Away
The sky is falling and I've just begun
To salvage pieces cause they'll be worth a ton
Somewhere, Someway, Somehow
I need airplanes just to bring her down
She's so high, so far off the ground
Suzie Q Sailaway, just not right now
Wake up
Your life's run amok
No soul left to ante up
We're going broke, there's only this alternative
I'm taking a train to Brooklyn
I'm gonna learn how to rhyme
I'll change my name to M.C. Something
(When I learn how to rhyme)
I...
Way down
Your fears I see through
No luck
Your reputation precedes you
If I sit any longer I'm gonna choke and
If you sent any money I'll still be broke and
You can wait forever for this shite to fly
You're losing your minds, well it's finally time
I'm not so glad I've got my whole life left to live
I'm taking a train to Brooklyn
(To learn how to rhyme)
I'm taking a train to Brooklyn
(To Brooklyn)
I'll change my name to M.C. Something
(When I learn how to rhyme)
I...
You know I can't afford to hate you pretty baby, now
say it now baby, say it now baby
*repeat 4x*
I'm taking a train to Brooklyn
(To learn how to rhyme)
I'm taking a train to Brooklyn
(To Brooklyn)
I'll change my name to M.C. Something
(When I learn how to rhyme)
The summer breeze sings a melody
Passing through her ears
But where could she be
I want to know her, where could she be
Evening skies
Night time lullabies
They mean so much more when
She's by my side
I want to know her, where could she be
Throw me out in the cold ocean waves
'Til I finally reach her shore
They tell me life is for loving
What's loving for
She's an island
in the ocean
Close to no one
Yeah she's an island
And I gotta reach her
Before someone else does
The morning tide leaves me sleepy-eyed
And a man can't swim when his hands are tied
I want to know her, where could she be
She calls my name, hangs around my door
And her scattered maps decorate my floor
I want to know her, where could she be
Throw me out in the cold ocean waves
'Til I finally reach her shore
They tell me life is for loving
What's loving for
She's an island
in the ocean
Close to no one
Yeah she's an island
And I gotta reach her
Before someone else does
Just like the sand upon her beach
I'll take her hand but she won't reach
Just like the sand upon her beach
I'll take her hand but she won't reach
For me
And she says

i see a man
and he's waiting
by the pay phone
to make his call to a girl
only know this cause I asked him
is she alone
is she happy
is she overseas doing business
he didn't care
he doesn't know her
he was randomly calling over
asking if she's alive
i mean really alive
i have a friend who's a poet and an artist
he spends his time writing songs, reading books
no need for the rat race
he doesn't care about his hair
just his woman no need for a headache
we'll have a laugh, have a smoke
discuss his marketability as the last great hope
i say man he's alive
he's alive
you don't know how much time you have left here, so spend it
you don't know how much time you have left here, so spend it
(come alive)
you don't know how much time you have left here
come alive
come alive
wherever, whoever you are
I'm a pumpkinhead
It sounds kinda like them they said
I'm a pumpkinhead, I said
I can't really help it
I'll be your defense stead
I'm a pumpkinhead, I said
I'll be your defense stead
I hope it'll find me
If you have to choose
Just what you say and do
You're used
If you have to say and do
Just what they choose
You're useless
I'm a pumpkinhead
And it's stuck inside my skull
I'm a pumpkinhead
And now i can confirm it
In a sea of dread
Drowning is the pumpkinhead
In a sea of dread
What if it killed me
If you have to die
Just when you've lived a thousand lifetimes
If you have to live
Just when you've died a thousand more
Pumpkinhead
If you let them choose
Just what you say and do
You're used
If you have to say and do
Just what you choose
You're useless
Yesterday I met the postman
Bringing packages from England
I smiled as to not provoke him
Then asked "What's up with the gun, man?"
Its been so hot in here for days
The ice creams melting
Given the means and the ways
The sex is helping
I lost directions to the microwaving meals
And my Captain & Tenelle
"Now I try to keep my head above my shoes
Especially in front of new wave Hair-Do's"
A dying man said to me
With his dead lips
Selling crack in Eubonics
As not to offend or annoy
Or strike a bad note
As not to damage or destroy
Or say a bad word
I gave directions to the nearest Coffee Shop
So maybe he'd stop, so maybe he'd stop
Wake up World it's time to go
'Cause this life can bring you down, so down
Wake up World it's time to go
And turn around the opposite way
Are you man enough to take the blame for this
In my dusty house
In my dirty clothes
Seated in a town on the verge of extinction
Struggling with a tune
Alone I compose a bittersweet ditty
About an ex-girlfriend
But why bother with painful memories?
Why tear out my heart for all the world to see?
Why not paint by number
Catchy melody
Burn it up the charts with sweet simplicity
Then do it again
Gotta get away
Maybe we should stay
Seated in a town on the verge of explosion
New York and LA
Noone listening anyway
Busy predicting the next big thing
So why bother with changing scenery?
Why pack up the car and move to California?
Why not paint by number
Catchy melody
Playing all the parts in deadly harmony
Then do it again
Put the keys into the car
Put the car into drive
You can take us to the moon
Just take us for a ride
In his dusty house
In his dirty clothes
Seated in a town overrun by tourists
Struggling with a tune so alone he composes
A bittersweet ditty in the 3rd person
So why star in your fictional stories?
Why try to deny your criminal and thieves?
Go ahead Paint By Number
Phony fake I.D.'s
Burn it up the charts with sweet
simplicity, then do it again
-repeat chorus-
9 Lives
you can be my headcase
you can be held accountable
you can act so surprised
use your 9 lives
over and over until they've gone away
if you have no money
i will be your currency
you can spend your 9 lives
cat eyes
over an over until they're all gone
over and over until they're all gone
the master of deception woke the devil and then set him free
she turned from an ocean to an ogre and selected me
i can't help but stay away when you're so damn evil
i don't care at all assuming that it's mother nature's fault
it's funny how a part of me ceases to be
i waited all summer just to see her leave
mother nature
she hated all my lyrics, so i lied and said i threw them out
the only one who knows this is me, but now the record's out
i can't help but paint a perfect picture with a double "a"
rhyme scheme
i don't care at all, assuming that it's mother nature's fault
a sentimental part of me that ceases to be
i waited all winter just to see her breathe
show me your best kept secrets and i'll never ever tell all
your friends that you know well
you let me down, down
i'll never listen to another heartfelt love song cuase this
time of month, it's a drag
you know they're dead wrong
i can only comprehend the half of what i hear cause you know
She's a leprachaun with mouth full of bile
She's a movie lover, suckin cock in the isle
It's like ten thousand dicks, when you're not really gay
She's a Death Row contract, when you hate Dr. Dre
And I think she's moronic
Its a real pain
When she hits the airwaves
With a pack of lies
That she wrote in the third grade
She's a head of lies
Thats you just cant shake
And each single makes me sicker
To imagine her naked
I'm afraid to see (afraid to see)
I took my suitcase
And broke her left titty
When I was at burny-grunmans
Mastering my album
I had the chance to burn her masters
And I wish that i had
Cause I think that she's moronic (blah blah blah)
It's a pure pain
When she hits the airwaves
And I hope she dies
And pour salt in her veins
She's a head of lice
That you just cant shake
And each single makes me sicker
She has a funny way
Of processing her lower vocals through a stereo chorus end
delay
She has a funny funny way
Of singing all of her bridges like the kibbde-kibbde-kibbde-kiddby
count bass
Isn't she moronic
Dont you think
Never once melodic
And I really do think
And I think she's moronic
It's a real pain
When she hits the airwaves
With a pack of lies
That she wrote in the third grade
She's a head of lies
That you just cant shake
unwrapped and bitten
an invitation to your side
i missed the friction
if it's in my head, it's in your size
you are, you're making me mad
afraid you've been had again
you are, you're singing so bad
you're singing so sad again
scratch the hideous melody
scrap all the harmonies in 'e'
can't help but spell it out
if it's in my head, it's in your mouth
hang up the phone jaded hand
take a piece of everyone
the day is done
the bread is stale and silence suits me that well
i'm a bitter scale with a broken trust
found the liar in all of us
cause you're better off
you're better off when no one's starving for your company
i think a sour note is a luxury
crass information
spread it
infect somebody else
inspire a nation
and in the simplest of words, she knew about forgiveness
and in passing, something true cried out
as the wheel began to turn, there it loomed and burned
in the awkwardness at hand, i don't understand
lucid anne, lucid anne
lucid anne, lucid anne
and when she woke up from the day before
no recollection of events which took place somewhere
laughing only at the lines that now traced her eyes
looking backwards through the glass, i think i missed the
point
and in the simplest of words, she spoke the only answer
and in passing, something new cried out
as the wheels began to turn, there it loomed and burned
all of my senses are turning away and all that i touch
is turning to waste
i mark indifference in various ways, but all of my senses
have gone out to play
my tongue tied and twisted
my eyes wouldn't blink
decisions were made for me
i couldn't think
tattered old heros where saving my grace but i lost my senses
but i don't wanna touch, taste, feel
i don't wanna touch, taste, feel
i don't wanna touch, taste, feel
i don't wanna touch, taste, feel
all gone to waste
a stanger in my hat or under my skin
my hair is a welcome mat
now it begins
it splits and divides and feeds on itself and i lost my senses
i don't want your help
all my pretenses collectively face
the left hand of decency patiently waits through an unbarable
show of restraint
my ears won't play
my eyes couldn't paint
my tongue tied and twisted
my eye couldn't blink
decisions were made for me
i couldn't think
thought my friends were just saving my place
Amidst a sea of white houses
A train wreck maze of dirty pictures
Lies on the floor
Underneath the thick make-up
Laughs a face of a girl who just got paid for
All the pretty things that she can do with
What she's got and what she's given
It's just another scary story to me
And you just can't help but question
If she ever listened to Mother
Because all the most vital lessons
Went in one ear and out the other
Artificial - pre-conceived
Hey, deceiver - I'm relieved I am
Now raise your head from the floorboard
Poster children of the nineties your time has come
Set your sights to the scoreboard
Trailer park-channel-surfing monkey
Who's side you on?
She could be a Queen but now
She's selling her crown to Montel Williams
Now what kind of life is that to lead
Artificial - pre-conceived
Maxine, drama queen
Prettiest thing in life that I've seen
Gonna go down in history
When I take her our of her misery
Liesel from Laos
Likes to vacation in her house
Moved from Barbatos to the country
Won't pay tax until she's 83
The Girls - They're the one's making us Breakfast
Pam C's a quick stitch
Sharp as a tack yet slick as witch
I know where her mind's at
She'll take all I own and then smile right back
Kristen's a Christian
Telling all her friends she's a lesbian
Gonna make a speech to the President
Ask him why he's so negligent

let's go trick or treatin' dressed up like marilyn manson
snatch up all the kiddies and then hold 'em all for ransom
Let me make my prediction of why you have no love
You're hollowing out and alone inside
Your will had died
In water which you're barely treading
Swallowing all remains of hope, you just can't cope, I throw the rope
But the change in tide tossed you aside
A move that we're regretting
What's minimum wage for a damsel in distress?
Baby, I could offer you some better benefits
It gets lonely in castles and beds made out of glass
I feel you hopelessly, telepathically
All the boys down at the schoolyard
They're dumb, they're playing keepaway, keepaway with your heart
All the boys that try so hard to get some
But you just walk away, play keepaway with your heart
Let me make my assessment to
The way that you move in the full of the moon
And the black inside your vampire eyes
Your child-like charm is never unwelcome
Why you destined to beat yourself up over an empty cup of rotten luck
And misery, when no one else can see, elusive to everyone
What's minimum wage for a damsel in distress?
Baby, I could offer you some better benefits
It gets lonely in castles and beds made out of glass
I feel you hopelessly, telepathically
All the boys down at the schoolyard
They're dumb, they're playing keepaway, keepaway with your heart
All the boys that try so hard to get some
But you just walk away, play keepaway with your heart
Having Dinner With The Funk
1234
I'm kickin your ass with the funk
I'm biting my nails with the funk
I'm changing my name with the funk
I'm moving out with the funk
I'm harvesting wheat with the funk
I'm surfing the internet with the funk
I'm going to have dinner with the funk
You say you can't recall my name or my face
I am so sure I knew you well before this
I can't sing and I can't dance so good
There is no song, there is no beat left to dance
If I knew what I know now
I'm sure I could show how
The story all ends
If I knew what I know now
I'd probably just punk out
Before it begins
I can blame it on the rest of the world
To understand it takes a mind with patience
You say you can't recall my number, girl
A penny for your thoughts on beatings I have taken
Jotting stardates in your Captain's Log
I am for sure alone in this life
Building karma with your cats and your dogs
I am for sure the victor this time
If I knew what I know now
I'm sure I could show how
The story all ends
If I knew what I know now
I'd probably just punk out
hello
let's play some music
follow me
let's make some noise with some pots and pans - repeat 8x
where did you go
where could you be
i better find a way to write back home
i feel the flow of electricity
better call before the fuse is blown
- chorus -
i am a little an, explosion
i am that's all i am explosion
you once were told you once were free
i drew a map my destinations unknown
morticians faint whenever you breathe
i'll see the light before i'm buried and bones
* repeat chorus *
starlight blinding
i will go away
same old rigmarole
i will explode
she's in my shadow
i avoid the street lights
she loves her sweater
clothing is her birthright
she's heavy metal
moshing in the moonlight
she writes me letters
poetry keeps her up nights
mystery date and you can't be late
thought it wouldn't go any deeper
stalling and stalling to the voice of debate
laugh at her jokes and then leave her
you can't get out
well maybe she's pretty and maybe she's rich
you got to keep an open mind
hi, my name is cindy and i'm a transistorosexual
now it's all run amuck
for the next five hours you're fucked
fallen in a well and you can't get out
thought you couldn't fall any deeper
you learned about love and the opposite sex
that there's fucked up people
you try again
maybe she's pretty and maybe she's rich
you got to keep an open mind
hi, um, my name is cindy
i'm your blind date and i'm really blind
now it's all run amuck
for the rest of your life you're fucked
Hey, Lou
Hey, Lou
Redundancy repeats itself exponentially
Nobody wants to hear you say
Over and over and over and over...
Massachusetts
You think it's simple as that
Well, some things are
But not this little golden rover
Take it on the chin, pow!
Hey, Lou... pow!
Hey, Lou
The pain was euphoric
I couldn't help it
The adrenaline made it near impossible
To think, to speak, wish, die, help me stop this
Hey, Lou
Planets aligned, here comes the sign
A guilded word, the holy kind
There's rows and rows of Saturdays
To come
They cried a laugh, you cried alone
They fleshed it out, your gone and grown
Equipped with all you'd ever want
To feel
Nigh bricks nor mortar
Can hold you in place
Place your hands upon a hammer
And nail away, see if she stays
You're glued to the girl
Glued to the girl
Six or seven minutes
Repeat then you're finished
You're Glued to the girl
Glued to the girl girl girl girl
Embrace the day with your good deeds
She tunes you out, you speak your peace
With vacant stares and coffee stains
On your shoes
Placid and pain, soaking the stain
We try so hard to cast away
Pilgrimidge is set
To sail
All thrown together but to no avail
No tax, tongue, or tape or fine-tuned detail
See if you sail
You're glued to the girl
Glued to the girl
Cried when you left
All of us alone
Glued to the girl
Glued to the girl girl girl girl
If you want to, I can show you
All the things I learned and misused
It's true that I don't love you no more
I'm sure to lack and not be friends
Planets align with baited breath
The guilded kind within my chest
There's rows and rows of mundane
Wait now, baby, put the gun down
I was just kidding, I was jokin' around
Talk is cheap and so am I
It's inconceivable to try
to believe there's a sane one between us now
I am rubber, you are glue
We're just two people in a sticky situation
Whatever I say bounces off and sticks to you
I wasn't so quick to break your fall
And so you launched your arsenal
I send my requiem in the mail
It's so impossible to tell
If you would break, if you could ever give in to me
I am rubber, you are glue
We're just two people in a sticky situation
Whatever I say bounces off and sticks to you
It's so impossible to tell
If you could break, if you would ever give in to me
It's inconceivable to try
to believe there's a sane one between us yet
We're just two people in a sticky situation
Whatever I say bounces off
I am rubber, you are glue
We're just two people in a sticky situation
Flip-Top Box, nail and lock me under
All I ask is for 3 minutes of time
And I know you don't mind
Flip-Top Box, show a feeling
I'm defenseless, I'm so nervous kissing you
I tell myself that I'm bold and bigger, I'm such a liar
From the darkness comes the light
Stopping slowly short of nothing
Crying wait, wait - now you're alone
An obsession overblown
An addiction all too familiar
Crying wait, wait - now you're alone
Flip-Top Box, some claim you Jesus
But we'll all meet him soon enough
Introduce your homosexual friends
I know better now
I don't need you hangin' out
Cause you smell like shit
And 10 dead cowboys would agree
I tell myself I'm not cold or bitter
I'm such a liar
From your past here comes your prime
Your behaviours unsatisfactory
Crying wait, wait - now you're alone
Beyond excuses in your head
An addiction all too familiar
Crying wait, wait - Now you're alone
I'm a fool I suppose
It's what inside that matters most
I'll be better off alone
Flip-Top Box, I'm James Dean if you say so
Punch drunk in my halo
Spinning upwards towards the roof
Flip-Top Box, show a feeling
I'm defenseless, I'm so nervous kissing you
I appoint myself so cool and clever
I'm such a liar
From the darkness comes the light
Stopping slowly short of nothing
Crying wait, wait
Crying wait, wait
America. Hey, I'm ashamed of it
America. Hey, I'm ashamed of it
America. Hey, I'm ashamed of it
America. Hey, I'm ashamed
America. Hey, I'm ashamed of it
America. Hey, I'm ashamed of it
America. Hey, I'm ashamed of it
America. Hey, I'm ashamed
