you reel me in from a real long leash
pulling me in just to tell me a speach
i don't like the looks of that
do you like the looks of that i gave it all i had
you pull my head all over this town
i get the feeling that i'm about to drown
visions of you are just like me
There has been times, even I didn磘 care.
And it wouldn磘 even matter if no one else was there.
And trust was just a word; I was far from despair.
Now it磗 broken trust for my fragile faith to bare.
And now I know it磗 not you to blame.
Yeah I really know, it磗 not you I have to blame.
Sitting here in a hole, the sky磗 lit so dimly.
My mind is spinning confusion, my spine is both hot and cold.
This hole is dark and wet now, it磗 here I dwell with betrayal.
i can't see the ground what am i going to do with myself i've got to get out this is a living hell not a single beam of light anywhere to be seen if it wasn't for the smell i'd swear this was a dream somewhere someone is screaming seems like i'm always leaving this is hell is it day or is it night i can't tell i've got to get out this is a living hell this is hell has it ever been clean
There- this bridge I›e got to cross I feel alone.
A child down to each side and I can˜ carry both.
The bridge is long we could fall down through holes,
water all around; wind, wet and cold.
One child insecure displays the confidence he doesn˜ own,
another child, uncertain, looks around and cries for home.
My bridge is too unstable and the insecurity is letting go.
There- no holding to a crumbling bridge.
When all the time is gone in between it tumbles.
Time to move along... I toss and turn over and over,
trying to dream out anxiety, easy answers to my problems.
Keeping a grip on sanity until the sun comes up
and my mind- fresh and clean.
so now i know you have to say
what's on your little mind
and i always have to hear
from someone else all your
stupid lies come on now and
look at me you'll see i'm
okay it's story time now time
for you to show your shallow
exhistance it doesn't add up
too much your junior
insecurity now i see that
i hate the way you make me feel that- the look on your face that- how quiet i›e been why do we try you sleep through the night i sleep through the day see how we can compromise everything- going to be ok why do we try if the weight of this all is too much by now the rest of my life might be too long i know i›e changed i watched myself slip away i›e compromised everything- going to be alright why do we try why do we try if the weight of this all is too much by now the rest of my life might be too long i know i›e changed i watched myself slip away i›e compromised everything- going to be alright i compromised i compromised everything- going to be alright
seems like the further i get from here things come on time seems like the closer i get to home i'm way out of time i think about where to go it's always i don't know every time i think there is someone no one has shown where d'ya go i heard a voice in the dark and i knew it was you
Dying hard and I stand by
Running down and I sink along
So far underground, I lose touch
Falling all alone if you choose to fall
Looking down if nobody is watching
Falling all alone if you choose to fall
If you come back, I won't forget
And if you find that place, won't you let me in?
And if you're hiding, I'll understand
Sometimes you need to cry, so you can smile again
So you can smile again
If you come back, I won't forget
And if you find that place, won't you let me in?
If you come back, I won't forget
If you come back, I won't forget
And if you find that place, wont you let me in?
And if you're hiding, I'll understand, understand, I'll understand
Sometimes you need to cry, so you can smile again
So you can smile again, so you can smile again
If you come back, I won't forget
And if you find that place, won't you let me in?
If you come back, I won't forget
And if you find that place, won't you let me in?
Old steel factory casting shadows
What it meant to me no one could know
Kept him away from me and I was grateful
And to the bar across the street where he made last call
Big man
Beer can
Back hand
My last stand
Late night
Fist fight
Black eye
Who's right
Minor tragedy family outing
Major catastrophe, two week vacation
Long year, seventeen birthday coming
July 5th, I can leave no more running
Old steel factory casting shadows
Come July
i sit back and i watch i set back and i talk i sit back and i laugh i get up and walk away i don't know why i don't know
on your landlocked island you›e only got nice things to say everyone is so delighted in a world so white clean and safe sailing safely lightly drifting no resistance calmly as predicted what- the difference youâ-e only dreaming master of your own dimension narrow as the minds you lay of all the mild and sifted good friends bought taylor made sailing safely lightly drifting no resistance calmly as predicted what- the difference youâ-e only dreaming i creep up the stairs while you pretend to sleep you made promises you never meant to keep shallow as you are how do you succeed why are you afraid of what you›e never seen of people you canËœ change behaving honestly i know what you are youâ-e just a fallen star another fallen star
I'm free
he can't touch me
six feet down
and there's no sadness
hands and heads full
old and hostile fists are pounding
nothing's simple
no respect or meaning
why the screaming
when he's gone
burn the house down
too proud to come to me
when you were dying
well look at the dash
now you're frying
hands and heads full
old and hostile fist are pounding
nothing's simple
no respect or meaning
why the screaming
when he's gone
burn the house down
nothing's simple
no respect or meaning
why the screaming
never wimper
hide your feelings
and when he's gone
From behind a stained glass window, a colorful blur is all that I see.
A shattered view of the world, a shattered view of me.
The truth is hidden by shadows, my ideas are not complete, facts are lost to feeling.
Time trips and slides, but I磎 not dreaming.
Maybe that磗 why I got the wrong impression of you.
i feel it coming winding into clutch position talking myself up for the transition
second thoughts are hanging
over my head you know i've
day dreams on the ceiling ridges in my memories resting for the evening to warm to freeze give me a reason why
should i doubt something that
comes so easy it's better
Nothing has divided you
Growing older faster than it should
Pieces of me outside your door
See, you're not at home
I'd like to not wonder where you are
Blurry eyed, my feet will leave the ground
See that sky flying by
See the streetlights spin and blend
Proving it's not a fastest scar
See that sky flying by
See the streetlights spin and blend
Proving it's not a fastest scar
So I'll just leave it there
You could, maybe pick it up
Only you could see what it was
So I'll just lay it to rest
And get up and leave
Knowing you'll see it lying there
See that sky flying by
See the streetlights spin and blend
Proving it's not a fastest scar
See that sky flying by
See the streetlights spin and blend
Proving it's not a fastest scar
See that sky flying by
See that sky flying by
See that sky flying by
circles around you they're like walls you're safely grounded in the center you don't need to look outside you couldn't if you tried
time goes by lie after lie
the walls are growing larger
monday
sunshine
so high
it's hard to see
through the sunday clouds still lingering
how you wound up in the sea
spinning above
while burning inside
further you go and deeper you dive
don't mean to deceive
but it's they who believe
they fall in love with the girl they perceive not you
blind them with kindness
until they are reminding they're lonely and desperate
and you have a secret
it's something they all think they need
spinning above and burning inside
further you go and deeper you dive
don't mean to deceive
but it's they who believe
they fall in love with the girl they perceive not you
they see what they want in you they
get what they need from you
they take advantage of you
How do i still want you,
With everything you've made me do,
You almost taste like hate,
And i can't stay away,
Self destruction, no pain,
Character reduction, slow fade,
Lazy reflex, no feeling,
Hand to mouth, tightly bound,
Remember when we met,
Seemed so innocent,
But i was different then,
Now i know how the story ends,
Self destruction, no pain,
Character reduction, slow fade,
Lazy reflex, no feeling,
Hand to mouth, tightly bound,
I'm the one with the unreached goals,
Never thought i could sink so low,
I believed everything i was told,
Save me from the undertow,
Big on suckers bets,
Placed my soul in debt,
Looks like from where I'm at,
There's no coming back,
I'm the one with the unreached goals,
Never thought i could sink so low,
I believed everything i was told,
Save me from the undertow,
your mouth grew into your mind no longer afraid to say what you think you›e realized that youâ-e not as small as they would like you to believe donËœ feign approval anymore and donËœ you you shy away they are the ones who?l choke on their words believe what you say they threaten and manipulate shadows afraid of the light that creates them they spit in your face to test you they only show when it- safe donËœ feign approval anymore and donËœ you you shy away they are the ones who?l choke on their words believe what you say drawn to each poleyou can be swayed with a voice in each ear they coax you away you never took the time to weigh your thoughts you never thought you could be held responsible they are the ones who?l choke on their words believe what you say
what do you want
i can't believe i'm guessing
it seems like something's out of place
i picture myself a happy man
and the picture don't contain your face
ride the manic roller coaster
watch you rise, watch you fall
who in the hell designed this ride
there ain't no size this small
No Size That Small
i feel the world spinning beneath my feet
e can feel the sunlight pulling me in
i can't feel you
just so you know
ain't no size that small
i hear the people on the street
loud and clear like the voices in my head
i can't hear you
just so you know
tell me i'm allright i feel so small did i make the right mistake i feel so small i hate feeling ashamed you shouldn't feel this way who is condescending you shouldn't feel the same all pumped up and ready to go i feel so small will i make the right mistake i feel so small i hate feeling helpless who wouldn't reason you shouldn't feel ashamed
cracking knuckles and tapping feet something isn't quite
complete ignoring my company
i'm hoping they'll take the
hint and leave that magazine
I can't get up because if I do
I'll just be staring at the wally
I'll take a long look around me
and forget what I got up for
breakfast being the only thing
that gets me out of bed
my stomach screams and to the floor I fall
gluey eyed I stumble through my room and down the hall
at least I can scratch my balls
Cocoa Crispies calling my name and crackling in my head
my pipes are getting rusty
my brain smells more like cheese
I think I'll watch some t.v. or spin a record instead
I磎 not happy and I磎 not proud.
I磎 not forgiving, I磎 not allowed to be insightful.
I磎 deep within you i am sin.
I磎 self indulgence.
I take control.
I soak your clothing,
I fill your soul with trust and feeling.
You thought you had it in the bag
Thought you had it all figured out
But now you're having second thoughts
You don't really know your ins from outs
You won't accept the lot you've drawn
You can't face the error of your ways
You turned your back and walked away
Seem bent on finding better days
How long did your dream carry on
How long did your dream spin around
You'd better grab your things and run
All your friends have left you behind
I have no answers for you now
I just wish you had an open mind
How long did your dream carry on
How long did your dream spin around
How long did your dream carry on

When I'm by myself here alone
Crystal clear fresh water falls hush and dive
Got a little cradle for my brain
A magic pill to kill the pain
Keep things nice and slow
My shoulders sag can't stand up straight
I need a crutch to bear my weight
I need some time to heal
Buried deep down cradle
All the sour seeds I've sewn
Now I weep, now I see how they've grown
As gardens grow in long straight rows
As high as my head thick roots below
Every time it rains It leaves a stain
I'd like to hide away
Somewhere without light
Somewhere dark and warm, no given chance to lose
Without a care in my head, I could sleep right through
I gave it all away today
Those empty stares won't be from me
There's not much to look forward to
But as long as I can't remember
Took a shower today
Couldn't feel the water hit my face
Pinched the skin on my arm and I couldn't feel the pain
I guess my wish came true, so, now may I not lose
I gave it all away today
Those empty stares won't be from me
There's not much to look forward to
I hate you still
yet I imitate you
you're in my dreams
pushing me around
I move my mouth
I watch her cry
it's killing me
and you wonder why
always said I wouldn't be that way
I always said I wouldn't be that way
Capsized
cut down to size
like colors bleed
now they're all the same to me
I feel his hand
and I know I'm damned
a puppet on a string
this is the last time I treat you like that
this is the last time I act like a man
this is the last time i drink myself to sleep
this is the last time I act before I think
Excuse my blank expression while I磎 staring at the wall.
The telephone is in my hand and I don磘 know who to call.
I wish I knew what was wrong with me...
Because this is not me, I know this is not me.
every thought I have seems to be a question.
Am I just like you or am I one fucked up exception?
you ride the rail and you stop at every station you want some of everyone to see what you are missingtake what you like without hesitation and to justify your ways just use your imagination you shop around you borrow things and you take them back you pt them on you wear them around awhile until you find out what they lack you put them on your roll your tongue and it sounds like conversation you loosen up see if that gets his attention you toss them around with all your breezy lies until theyâ-e stuck in your web full of flies you shop around you borrow things and you take them back you pt them on you wear them around awhile until you find out what they lack you put them on
if i could be anywhere and feel at home and be without anyone without feeling alone and do anything knowing it's all right i'll keep you in mind don't want to spend my time looking ahead or back it keeps me busy just wondering where the hell i'm at i don't want to talk because i don't want to argue it'll just
confuse me anyway i've got my
reasons for not being
understanding and saying all
Just because you don� doesn� mean I don�.
Just because you do doesn� mean I want you too.
Treat him like shit and you� l have him hooked.
Hook, hook, hook line and sinker.
You� e everybody� girl and everybody knows your name.
You� e finally got the chance to play things your own way.
Just because you don� doesn� mean that I don�.
There's this bridge I've got to cross I feel alone
A child down to each side and I can't carry both
The bridge is long we could fall down through holes
Water all around, wind, wet and cold
One child insecure displays the confidence he doesn't own
Another child, uncertain, looks around and cries for home

There's no holding to a crumbling bridge
When all the time is gone in between it tumbles

I toss and turn over and over
Trying to dream out anxiety
Easy answers to my problems
Keeping a grip on sanity
Until the sun comes up
I've got a piece of you all that you don't like to see
I know you so well, I'm not surprised when you lie to me
I'm no good because I'm what I want to be
I'm no good because I'm what I want to be
I've found another waste of time
I've found another waste of time
I'm out on a limb you would like to trim that tree
I'm out on a limb you would like to trim that tree
And I'm no good because I'm what I want to be
I'm no good because I'm what I want to be
I've found another waste of time
I've found another waste of time
I've found another waste of time
What you can't stand is that it is mine
I'm out on a limb you would like to trim that tree
I'm out on a limb you would like to trim that tree
I'm out on a limb you would like to trim that tree
I'm out on a limb you would like to trim that tree
Beats you black and blue
Beats you black and blue
Beats you black and blue
Beats you black and blue
Beats you black and blue
Beats you black and blue
Beats you black and blue
Car windows icing over, speaking steam with your breath
Through the floating strands of your hair, am i just like the rest?
You say you don't want anyone or anything,
Say this hurts you too,
I wouldn't bother but this means everything to me, so spare me now,
[Chorus]
Rehearse the words you say,
Repeat them again as you see my driveway,
While searching for something more beyond this lonely hill.
I pretend to hear you, I act as if i understand,
I try to convince you i don't hate you, but it's hard to do,
You say you don't want anyone or anything,
Say this hurts you too (yeah, you too)
I wouldn't bother but this means everything to me, so spare me now,
[Chorus]
Rehearse the words you say,
Repeat them again as you see my driveway,
While searching for something more beyond this lonely hill.
Rehearse the words you say,
Repeat them again as you see my driveway,
an empty nest ist just a tangled mess since your bird has flown you filled her with emptiness light enough to float you taught her everything she knows think you€ know by now it don˜ feel the same this time around take a walk down your old street and try not to forget you tied her down you left her alone she stuck it out too long with you out of sight she kept you in mind on her first flight think you€ know by now it don˜ feel the same this time around take a walk down your old street and try not to forget how do you feel now you feel alone you don˜ feel so smug do you since your bird has flown think you€ know by now everything- changed somehow take a walk down your old street think you€ know by now
It's been another bad day
Just saw a dog get hit on the freeway
With my stomach in my mouth
I almost hit a truck driving in the next lane
Spent all my money on beer
And I've got rent to pay
I was late again this morning
I'm lying in the bed I've made
If I had a fallout shelter
I could lock myself inside and sleep
Somebody could come and drop a bomb on me
Maybe then something would change
Lately I can't stand people
They're always rubbing me the wrong way
I don't feel like smiling
It wouldn't look right on my face
That's just the way I feel
That's just the way I feel
It's been another bad day
It's been another bad day
Why don't you quit holding back and say what you want to say
Where did the trouble go because it hasn't gone away
Are you going to pretend like you're some other person
Never saw it, never been there, never heard that question
I often wonder who you were before I met you
What do you do when you're alone
Did you really think that I'd make you feel okay
Even when you didn't want to feel that way
When did you decide that I was the one you wanted to
When did you decide that I was the one you wanted to, to play
Why, where and when
Why, where and when
Why, where and when
Why, where and when
I often wonder who you were before I met you
What did you do what got you through the day
Did you really think that things would be okay
Even though you knew they'd never be that way
When did you decide
That I was the one you wanted
When did you decide
That I was the one you wanted
Why, where and when
Why, where and when
Why, where and when
Why, where and when
When did you decide
That I was the one you wanted to play
I feel that you were right there
I feel that you were right there
I feel that you were right there
I feel that you were right there
Right there
Right there
You're wide open
and I'm not interested
my mind wanders
I could be home
I can't believe it is this awful
I've got better things to do with my time
the day drags
the radio plays
same old songs
over and over
it's my time I can be home
my time
my time
Tag along baby girl close behind tender sweet
Tag along little feet all is well within your world
Don't believe all you hear, never fear, never fear
Shut your mouth tag along
She's too young for that
She don't know, don't know
Don't know not yet
Shut your mouth
She's too young for that
She don't know, don't know
Don't know not yet
I never even said a word
But she can see right through my eyes
Still too young to understand
Should you go, should you go there?
Should you go, should you go now?
Everything, everything's alright
Little blue bomb is waiting for me
I sit right down and turn the key
She starts to roll
Burning down the west highway
She's goin' to where she belongs
Don't tell me she's just a car, slip sliding along
My stomach, we make a stop at Chez Denny
I'm all filled up, Simca, feeling sick again
Going to someplace where she belongs
Don't tell me she's just a car, rolling down the road
The red light starts to shine, I slow it down
Can't push too hard because she might complain
You know where that will leave me tomorrow
I don't care if it ain't that great
It's all the same, it's good enough for me
If you don't dwell on the details
You might even like it, it's good enough for me
Good enough for me, good enough for me
Can you go anywhere without a host of preconceptions?
You never been there before, nothing is going to surprise you
If you give somebody a chance, they might give you something better to do
You think you've seen it all because you've got a room with a view
Five minutes and you've got your keys in your hand
It's good enough for me, you always seem to be a little bit better
But it's good enough for me, but it's good enough for me
But it's good enough for me
Can you do anything without shooting everybody down?
You know you offend me but it never seems to bother you
If you give somebody a chance, they might give you something better to do
You think you've seen it all because you've got a room with a view
I guess I don't know my place
I guess I don't know my place
I guess I don't know my place
I guess I don't know my place
I guess I don't know my place
I guess I don't know my place
I guess I don't know my place
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
The king of Marigold was in the kitchen
Cooking breakfast for the queen
The queen was in the parlor
Playing piano for the children of the king
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
The king was in the garden
Picking flowers for a friend who came to play
The queen was in the playroom
Painting pictures for the children's holiday
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
The Duchess of Kircaldy always smiling
And arriving late for tea
The Duke was having problems
With a message at the local bird and bee
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
At twelve o'clock a meeting ?round the table
For a séance in the dark
With voices out of nowhere
Put on specially by the children for a lark
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby, cry cry cry cry baby
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry, cry cry cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
Can you take me back where I came from?
Can you take me back?
Can you take me back where I came from?
Brother, can you take me back?
Can you take me back?
Mmm, can you take me where I came from?
Down by the racetrack waiting with their signs
The ugly broken people got no place to go
And a guilty boy scout with his conscience in his hand
Buys some reconciliation
Ain't going to be me, no, thinking
Ain't going to be me, no, thinking
Ain't going to be me, no
Only 29 years left on my loan
You stand there freezing on the side of the road
To remind me of all the good things that I'm so glad I own
The only reason I leave you in the cold
Is if I took you home to feed you, you'd be somebody I know
And on the corner you tell me the same old lies
Like I believe you gas can guy
Every single dollar that I gave you and you drank
How many gallons are in your tank?
Ain't going to be me, no, thinking
Ain't going to be me, no, thinking
Ain't going to be me, no
Only 29 years left on my loan
You stand there freezing on the side of the road
To remind me of all the good things that I'm so glad I own
The only reason I leave you in the cold
Is if I took you home to feed you, you'd be somebody I know
And on the corner you tell me the same old lies
Like I believe you gas can guy

It's been another bad day
It's been another bad day
The old man is out by nine
His wife died a year ago
Always wearing his Sunday clothes
Never seen him talk to anyone
Liquor stores and churches
There's one on every corner
Thanks for all my daily bread
A can of food, bottle of wine
And a 99 cent pack of cigarettes
He's a solid piece of stone
He ain't got much backbone
He's a solid piece of stone
And he's got to get back to the ghetto
A dusty old bone
For the dogs to swallow whole
He likes to go his way alone
Watch them pick apart this old lone soul
He's a solid piece of stone
He ain't got much backbone
He's a solid piece of stone
And he's got to get back to the ghetto
So it goes, he's alone
They pick apart his old lone soul
They pick apart his old lone soul
So it goes, he's alone, my life, my hole
He's a solid piece of stone
He ain't got much backbone
He's a solid piece of stone
And he's got to get back to the ghetto
He's a solid piece of stone
what the hell have you got to look forward to
i don't hear anybody knocking at your door
your life has been a message in a bottle
dumped in the ocean, never reaching any shore
at the point where nothing makes you happy
these days seem darker than they've ever been before
here it comes again, that old familiar feeling
get sick and leave your troubles on the floor
CHORUS
just when i thought you were breaking down
just when i thought you were breaking down, she found you
just when i thought you were breaking down
just when i thought you were breaking down
you're shuttin people out has become more like a reflex
they used to be your friends, but they don't know you anymore
don't mean to hurt you, but it's my only self defense
i make myself a mystery, so they don't know who to look for
look at yourself, have you noticed your complexion
looks like you've been spending too much time indoors
in the mirror can you see your reflection
or am i the only one who's noticed that you look bored
CHORUS
just when i thought you were breaking down
just when i thought you were breaking down, she found you
just when i thought you were breaking down
just when i thought you were breaking down
i watched you fall apart
and never made a sound
what the hell have you got to look forward to
i don't hear anybody knocking at your door
your life has been a message in a bottle
dumped in the ocean, never reaching any shore
at the point where nothing makes you happy
these days seem darker than they've ever been before
here it comes again, that old familiar feeling
get sick and leave your troubles on the floor
CHORUS x2
just when i thought you were breaking down
just when i thought you were breaking down, she found you
just when i thought you were breaking down
Grinding your fingers down, the skin
On your back wears thin, dust clouds
Billow at your feet, you're gonna get lost
Unless you stop that head spin
Now, I lay me down
Nothing tastes so sweet
Routine
I can take my time
I like pulling on my own strings
There's too much rushing around
You're leaving out something
Don't think, just blink
Nothing on my mind
You never looked into their faces
All you saw there was another threat
You knew, you knew what you had to do
But you never tried, never heard about regret
You've never heard
But it seems to me that you don't know
What you want, why don't you let it go?
Three years to get off your chest
Best left forgotten nothing's left
But it seems to me that you don't know
What you want, why don't you let it go?
Never heard about regret
Never heard about regret
Never heard about regret
You never looked into their faces
All you saw there was another threat
You knew, you knew what you had to do
But you never tried
But it seems to me that you don't know
What you want, why don't you let it go?
Never heard about regret
Never heard about regret
Never heard about regret
Every time you cry
How did you get this far?
Understanding nothing at all
You're nothing but small talk
Is there anybody home?
Is there a secret plan that you follow?
Do you do any thinking of your own?
Make up your mind, flip a coin or something
Just say anything but I don't know
You do so much sneaking around
Is it some kind of a stupid little game?
Let's pretend that you're the master mind
And I'm your little blind dope
Stay out of my sight, I'll put you out of my mind
Don't even want to know you anymore
Stay out of my sight, I'll put you out of my mind, out of my mind
Don't even want to know you anymore
Stay out of my sight, I'll put you out of my mind
How did you get this far?
Understanding nothing at all
You're nothing but small talk
Is there anybody home?
Transparent, simple mind
Just hold your hands over my eyes
Unless you're trying to insult me
You'd better work harder on those lies
Stay out of my sight, I'll put you out of my mind
Don't even want to know you anymore
Stay out of my sight, I'll put you out of my mind, out of my mind
Don't even want to know you anymore
She's always restless, she's over-medicated
With the kind of emotion that feels out of place
Never give your opinion, they've got all the answers
Follow the leader but remember where you've been
So don't leave, it's not me you know
Can't control what goes through my mind
So stay, please understand, I don't mean all I said tonight
Haven't slept for days and my words
Don't seem to come out right
It's just a phase that you're gonna grow out of
When you die and it's alright
You know, everything's going to be just fine
Is it too much to ask for, some kind of ordinary life?
Two weeks, clean a vague reality
From a life time clouded, lost details of your dreams
The words you eat, the pills you need to sleep
Are things you never think if till they're always on your mind
So don't leave, it's not me you know
Can't control what goes through my mind
So stay, please understand, I don't mean all I said tonight
Haven't slept for days and my words
Don't seem to come out right
It's just a phase that you're gonna grow out of
When you die and it's alright
You know everything's going to be just fine
Is it too much to ask for some kind of ordinary life?
Don't leave, it's not me you know
Can't control what goes through my mind
So stay please understand, I don't mean all I said tonight.
Haven't slept for days and my words
Don't seem to come out right
It's just a phase that you're gonna grow out of
When you die and its alright
You know everything's going to be just fine
Is it too much to ask for some kind of ordinary life?
I don't like the way you touch me
You hurt me once again
Something about you irritates me
Some things break before they bend
I can't remember the last time, I saw your face without that frown
And would you believe there's people who like having you around?
Had to be a time when there were good things on your mind
There's got to be something in your life that's worked out right
The only time I need you is when you've gone away
I just want somebody to talk to
I don't need you getting in my way
I can't remember the last time, I saw your face without that frown
And would you believe there's people who like having you around?
Had to be a time when there were good things on your mind
There's got to be something in your life that's worked out right
I can't remember the last time, I saw your face without that frown
And would you believe there's people who like having you around?
Had to be a time when there were good things on your mind
There's got to be something in your life that's worked out right
I can't remember the last time, I saw your face without that frown
And would you believe there's people who like having you around?
Had to be a time when there were good things on your mind
every sunday
my little girl and me
we take a ride
just get up and go
four blood shot eyes
coasting down the road
we look like trees
on a windy day
we stagger drunk and home we sway,
to and fro
she's a part of me,
that's why we fight
as long as time is free
and we got a place to hide
She's A Part Of Me
we like to sleep in
we keep a low profile
saying peoples' names
and all the things they don't know
we stagger drunk and home we sway,
to and fro
she's a part of me,
that's why we fight
everybody says so,
they keep low
she's a part of me,
that's why we fight
she's a part of me
is there a need for advertising me
i might be a pigeon but i'm whole
i've got this crazy notion i can get there for free
this one's for sale everybody's criticizing
but i don't get much advice
i guess that's what i get for trying this one's
What was that I was saying?
Seemed so important at the time.
Planted in that chair, crawling inside.
What ever time that was no time at all.
Up or down it磗 just as bad.
i'm tied up in knots nothing is coming undone hand me my crutches because you know i can not run i've locked all the windows and i'm bolting the door surprised by every sunrise i never seem to come
clean when i think of what i
could be wasting i get a
wonder if i'll ever get ahead, i wouldn't mind, it's only fair
don't know how much longer i can walk around pretending i don't care
(PRE CHORUS)
just a little bit, to feel at ease again
no more belly ache, no more humbling
(CHORUS)
if you say so (4x)
wonder why i worry so much all the time, if i can make my rent
guess you've never seen what i'd come home to if i had to move back in
(PRE CHORUS)
just a little lift, to feel on top again
no more phony grin, no more stumbling
(CHORUS)
if you say so (4x)
wonder if i'll ever get ahead, i wouldn't mind, it's only fair
don't know how much longer i can walk around pretending i don't care
(CHORUS)
leaves his mind there at five.
He knows his work's all done tonight.
Doesn't care about love greed or hate:
a beer and T.V. will disguise his fate.
He moves his lips but nothing comes out.
He clears his soul, but no one else could tell.
Just one time he came along.
Set aside all the things he knew.
When all the peoples faces turned to gold,
he found his thoughts and mind were sold.
He moves his lips, but nothing comes out.
you're sitting in your hole
again down sad and alone
again you see something that makes you feel complete
then it's gone and you're down again
you're playing on the edge again
don't push or you might fall
you're playing on the edge again
Following the path I laid
Through bottlenecks & barricades
Retraced my steps to where we started
It ain't easy, I'm always stumbling
I can't remember some of the faces, some of the places now
It's never hard to ruin a good thing
And even though I know what's best for me
Sometimes I just don't want it, I'm always stumbling
There's no easy way out of this but you can't cover all the exits
I'm afraid I might be lost again
You are recreating me in half tone remade simplified
Your golden invitations strobe through the leaves
Leading me away from the only home that I have ever known
Lately you seem to be light years away
I'm not prepared to follow you that far
How brightly illuminated you are when you choose to be
While nightly I wait here for you
Where rightly you should be too
Oh, wherever you are
Without you I feel so out of place
Oh, wherever you are
Without you, without you it's only cold and empty space
If you change your mind, that's alright with me
Don't lead me on, I've seen it all before
I know you with always be on your own trip
While nightly I wait here for you
Where rightly you should be too
Oh, wherever you are
Without you I feel so out of place
Oh, wherever you are
i'm as doomed as doomed can be
you know now that's a pain
that's going to linger
oh give me a break
this is my luckiest of lucky days
i'm going completely mental
i must say
this is like a joke
i must say
Get off the tracks, always the same things on your mind
Everything that you deserve and how you've been denied it
You want it all so bad, no matter what you have
Can't be satisfied with anything less than more
Think you've made it, close your eyes and open up your hands
While you were waiting, someone left footprints in your back
Your white, leather couch is with that wallet, full of cash
And gold plated egos shine up nicely with some class
Don't care how you get it and you might regret it
As soon as things get brighter, you cram your head right up your ass
Think you've made it, close your eyes and open up your hands
While you were waiting, someone left footprints in your back
Your white, leather couch is with that wallet, full of cash
And gold plated egos shine up nicely with some class
Don't care how you get it and you might regret it
As soon as things get brighter, you cram your head right up your ass
Think you've made it, close your eyes and open up your hands
While you were waiting, someone left footprints in your back
Your white, leather couch is with that wallet, full of cash
And gold plated egos shine up nicely with some class
Don't care how you get it and you might regret it
As soon as things get brighter, you cram your head right up your ass
Think you've made it, close your eyes and open up your hands
While you were waiting, someone left footprints in your back
Your white, leather couch is with that wallet, full of cash
And gold plated egos shine up nicely with some class
Don't care how you get it and you might regret it
As soon as things get brighter, you cram your head right up your ass
You want to be the one that does the telling what to do
So people like yourself will wish that they were you
You want it all so bad, no matter what you have
Can't be satisfied with anything less than more
Think you've made it, close your eyes and open up your hands
While you were waiting, someone left footprints in your back
Your white, leather couch is with that wallet, full of cash
And gold plated egos shine up nicely with some class
Don't care how you get it and you might regret it
As soon as things get brighter, you cram your head right up your ass
Think you've made it, close your eyes and open up your hands
While you were waiting, someone left footprints in your back
Your white, leather couch is with that wallet, full of cash
And gold plated egos shine up nicely with some class
Don't care how you get it and you might regret it

happened to twisted sister i
can't even walk down the
I've had enough of this feeling
All I need is a chance
And I know that my dreams come true
If you'd only believe it
Cos I know this romance
Is made for me and you
I can't wait any longer
I've been hanging around
All my life just to be with you
You know my love's getting stronger
Don't know what to say
Just to make you stay
So Get Out
From my fantasy
I dun wanna spend my time
Living my dreams
Get Out
Oh why can't you see
That you're all that I want
And all that I need
I can't control my emotions
Cos the feeling I got
Is the feeling I just can't hide
You're my sweetest devotion
I just hope and I pray
That you'll always be by my side
I can't wait any longer
I've been hanging around
All my life just to be with you
You know my love's getting stronger
Don't know what to say
Just to make you stay
So Get Out
From my fantacy
I dun wanna spend my life
Living my dreams
Get Out
Oh why can't you see
Pale face get up.
Hollow eyes get up.
You磛e got a secret for me,
you磖e out running your age.
It磗 in your hand: neat pack of euphoria.
It磗 devastating and you磖e pleased.
Disease. Hairline endurance, biting intelligence.
How do you stumble like you do?
I wish I understood myself, as well as you do.
Got to get up.
All day you磛e got to stay up,
Four hundred of my closest friends
Forgotten names that I pretend
To know, it hasn't even been that long
So how've you been, you look the same
Remember when the Doughboys played
At Gilman and they broke up on your lawn?
And I wish it could always be like
This is something I've been missing
It's not too late to change what you've become
The last time I saw everyone
We buried our friend and his gun
I think he'd be happy here right now
So don't be jaded
I don't wanna spend another long and lonely weekend by the phone
Without anyone to call
I've had a lot of time to think and I'm so tired of thinking
I know why he put that bullet in his skull
I forgot how good it feels
To be part of a spinning wheel
Supported and supporting, on and on
Forget the judgment and the games
Forget the shit-talk and the shame
You will only be young for so long
And I wish it could always be like
This is something I've been missing
It's not too late to change what you've become
The last time I saw everyone
We buried our friend and his gun
I think he'd be happy here right now
Don't be jaded
I don't wanna spend another long and lonely weekend by the phone
Without anyone to call
I've had a lot of time to think and I'm so tired of thinking
I know why he put that bullet in his skull
Because life can be so dull
Life can be so dull
Life can be so dull
Life can be so dull
I don't wanna spend another long and lonely weekend by the phone
Without anyone to call
I've had a lot of time to think and I'm so tired of thinking
I know why he put that bullet in his skull
Because life can be so dull
Life can be so dull
Oh, life can be so dull
In separate rooms,
I hear them screaming through the walls.
I'm locked away,
home sweet home.
Listening to the vicious things they say.
You hate yourselves,
home sweet home.
You hate your children because they act so much like you.
You hate each other too.
There's too much love for me in this house.
Let me go,
home sweet home.
There's too much love for me in this house.
Leave me out,
have you ever tried to get away
when every move you make is restrained
trying to balance what you want with what's expected of you
can't overlook the consequences due to your new circumstances
my thoughts are mine to a point til i feel inclined to be you
wouldn't you like to be alone
wouldn't you rather stay at home
wouldn't it be nice to wake up free
without any sense of responsibility
do you ever get tired of the same old place
and seeing that same old face
you need to find some place to go
Alone again you磛e been ignoring me.
You磛e been avoiding me.
What did I do to deserve all of this from you?
You make yourself so hard to find.
Is this your way of saying goodbye?
this is sitting this is watching this is thinking fog is changing what i've seen where's the bay the lights below shine through i can feel the earth turn sit back
while the moon burns i'll be
so far ahead of us all, you got boy george on your wall
just admit it, you watch too much t.v., you went to your prom
and every year you went to summer camp
my girlfriend told me you liked it too
i've seen you dancing with the hippies in peoples park
wearing a tie-died skirt, without any shoes
(CHORUS)
you're nothing new that's all (4x)
i really don't care
when you see me on the street
i know i make you sick
cause we're all on the outside
i guess that means you're in
so just pretend that you don't know me
what would your real friends say
just keep on walking, talking about me, behind my back
i've only got one thing to say
You quit them
But old habits aren't hard to find
You never know
Maybe this is gonna be one of those good old times
Wasted just a reminder
Tried to take a side street all the way back home
Stranded in a parking lot isn't what you had in mind
Calling someone to come and save you
Check down the list of people that you know
Skipped over mom and dad thinking I might understand
You failed to mention that to me before
You dragged me out into the night
To meet you at the hospital
To see if you were alright
Well are you alright
Changed your address and your number
Got a new job maybe he'll leave you alone
How is it you always end up with the same fucking guy
Going places
You know you shouldn't be with people you barely even know
Then you come back with sorry stories about your new friends
You failed to mention that to me before
You dragged me out into the night
Chasing down your ambulance
To make sure you were alright
i'm standing on the edge looking in
thinking so hard my head caves in
i'd like to throw a coin in the wishing well
only time will tell if my wish comes true
wishing for the rain to come for it to flood and i'll be done
In my eyes, in my eyes,
I wonder what you would see if you looked into my eyes.
Aggravation, insecurity that I磎 holding deep inside.
I wonder what you would see if you looked into my face.
What? Look into my face, see what?
What磗 grinding in my mind,
what磗 grinding in my mind is in my eyes.
If it磗 in my mind it磗 in my eyes,
if it磗 in my mind, it磗 in my eyes.
You? e got it all between your fingers.
You want it, all... What you want you just can? have.
What you want you just can? grab.
And with my sympathy, chains lay in rust.
Sand sifts through, with my disgust.
You want someone to hold you together.
But you? e way too "strong", you? e way too proud.
You want someone to be around.
What you want, you need gone.
It? old, it? dirty, it? cold outside,
Just a man with killer instincts, just a man to history
Fooled by the words of reality
He couldn't overcome his fear
A man who couldn't handle the truth
But instead became insane
He couldn't see what meaning there was
To slave for others
He had to kill those unpure
So he could serve the immortality
One after one they fell for him as the
Knife got painted so shiny red
He had to kill to satisfy those in his head
And break out from the
Prison in their hell
He's just another who had to bet his
Soul to the burning eternity
Just another, just another - just another!
Just another, just another - just another!
The steel he's carrying in his hand
Which so many lives has taken
But who can blame him for what he's done
When mankind just shuts her eyes
Who wants to see a man go down
Who wants to look into his eyes
His soul is gone and his heart is petrified
When the pain caught his body and
He watched himself in the mirror
He got the courage to grab the knife
And take his own hated life
The voices are forever gone
His name people now take seriously
He's just another - he's just a serial killer
Just another, just another, just another - just another!
are you there you have so much to say am i so small do i make you feel that way ten feet tall and so upset won't
anybody listen while you
condescend if you can get a
hold squeeze tight but i still might slip away
I wish I could be a part of your sadness.
I wish I could cry for you.
I hate to think of what you are going through...
but, I've never known,
I can't even sympathize.
I can't even sympathize, I can't even sympathize...
As I imitate your mood I feel so callous, so hard inside.
Because my eyes are dry,
I can't even sympathize.
cracking knuckles and tapping feet something isn't quite
complete ignoring my company
i'm hoping they'll take the
hint and leave that magazine
Another day is goin' by
I'm thinking about you
All the time
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting
And I wrote this letter in my head
Cuz so many things were left unsaid
But now you're gone
And I can't think straight
This could be the one last chance
To make you understand, yeah
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't
Put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me
Cuz I know I won't forget you
Together we broke all the rules
Dreamin' of droppin'
Out of school
And leave this place
Can never come back
So now, maybe after all these years
If you miss me, have no fear
I'll be here
I'll be waitin'
This could be the one last chance
To make you understand
And I just can't let you
Leave me once again, yeah
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't
Put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me
Cuz I know I won't forget you
I close my eyes
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I can't forget you
Na na na
Na na na
And I'd do anything for you
Na na na
Na na na na
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't
Put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
To fall asleep with you
With you, yeah
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I won't
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything

know me don't think so
through the street lights and forfeited lanes
with a trunk full of everything that we could get
there is a place that磗 safe for those who know no better
that磗 where we keep our hideout hidden
we磖e travelling destinationless
with an open ticket for a one way trip
free of any expectations
and careless while they crack that whip
if the sun won磘 come up tomorrow
this is where i want to be
no way of knowing how much time you have borrowed
i try to keep mine free
we磖e travelling destinationless
with an open ticket for a one way trip
free of any expectations
and careless while they crack that whip
what would you decide
when ignorance can be such bliss
you see a car full of zeros
destined to die unsatisfied
i don磘 need to know where we going
i can still enjoy the ride
we磖e travelling destinationless
with an open ticket for a one way trip
free of any expectations
and careless while they crack that whip
what would you decide
Sitting in one corner, don't know what to think
I can't speak, I sink little deeper with every drink
I try to sleep, I shut my eyes
Like a leaky faucet fear floods the room
One that drips away patiently by day
It was either lost or it was stolen but it's been missing for too long
I woke up one morning, couldn't see the sunrise
I can't recall
The exact moment now
But it began some time ago
And it makes me wonder after all I've done
What have I got to show?
And it makes me wonder after all I've done
What have I got to show?
And it makes me wonder after all I've done
What have I got to show?
I'm aggravated, I'm what you created
Now please don't break me
I'm aggravated, I'm what you created
Now please don't break me
Sitting in the corner, I don't know what to think
I can't speak, I sink a little deeper with every drink
I try to sleep, I shut my eyes
Like a leaky faucet fear floods the room
