Boredom
Hangin' by myself in a bleak motel
Overnight in a small town.
Boredom
My mind's countin' time, trucks go rollin' by
Past the pumps and highway sign.
Never was a place that felt less like home.
Never woulda come here if I'd only known
That it's a one-channel town and I'm all alone.
I can't just sit 'n' watch my telephone
'Cause no one knows my number and it can't be found
And there's no good people just kickin' around
So here we are together
Machines and me.
I feel about as local as a fish in a tree and this
Boredom.
My mind's countin' time, trucks go rollin' by
Past the pumps and highway sign.
And in this town all the other sounds have ceased.
And the Late Late Show died long ago
With a few words from a priest.
Boredom
Hangin' by myself in a bleak motel

Yeah - well - I say what I mean
I say what comes to my mind
I never get around to things
I live a straight - straight line
You know me - I'm acting dumb
you know the scene - very humdrum
boredom - boredom
I'm living in this movie
but it doesn't move me
I'm the man that's waiting for the phone to ring
Hear it ring-a-ding-a-f***ing-ding
You know me ...
You see there's nothing behind me
I'm already a has-been
my future ain't what it was
well I think I know the words that I mean
You know me ...
B'dum - b'dum
I've taken this extravagant journey
so it seems to me
I just came from nowhere
and I'm going straight back there
You know me ...
So I'm living in this movie
but it doesn't move me
so tell me who are you trying to arouse?
get your hands out of my trousers
You know me ...

Seems it's over
Like a lightning is come before you can say it's a lightning
The sun shines everyday
But my room is black
And I prefer to be sad
Waitin' for the next lightning
The sun shines everyday
To blind my eyes
To suck out my boredom
For an insane
For an insane
But it's all so bad
It doesn't hurt
Boredom
Boredom
Seems it's over
Like a lightning is come before you can say it's a lightning
The sun shines everyday
But my room is black
And I prefer to be sad
Waitin' for the next lightning
The sun shines everyday
To blind my eyes
To suck out my boredom
For an insane
For an insane
But it's all so bad
It doesn't hurt
Boredom

Some say they will and some say they won't
Some say they do and some say they don't
Some say they shall and some say they shan't
And some say they can and some say they can't
All in all it's all the same
But call me if there's any change
Some say there's nothing and some say there's lots
Some say they've started while some say they've stopped
Some say they're going and some say they've been
Yes, some say they're looking and some say they've seen
All in all it's all the same

Stick 'em up kid, now we're gonna have some fun
So, this is your day in the sun
What, makes ya think you had a choice
What, made ya think this was your voice
So, shut the fuck up and listen
Don't make a move without my permission
I just wanna save you from this boredom
I just wanna save you from BOREDOM
I can't see all the things you want me to see
They are not me
I can't be everything you want me to be
Why can't you see.
Here come the curve kid so don't even swing
One day you will see that this is my thing
What made you think that you could decide?
What made you think that this was your ride?
So, shut the fuck up and listen
Don't make a move without my permission
I just wanna save you from this boredom
I just wanna save you from BOREDOM
Here comes the end of your streak
SLAM! SLAM! Here comes the end
oh DAMN!
Try to understand that this is not what I need
Touching my stomach? ??
I wanna be what ??
Don't wanna live with you or anybody else
I just need some time ??
Step outside but your eyes,
they make me go blind.
What did you think I would find?
Nothing but you through and through

What you say
Will go away
Nothing celebrated for the keep sake
I'm inclined
To ride away and then walk alone.
Special day
and i'm ok
You have forgotten what i've told you
If you find
another way then let me know.
CHORUS
Like boredom when you're down town
Misfortune and then you
Process bent
and all inside
Above the houses down beside
You been licking all
If you would ever fell apart
As you relate
A perfect place
Cause he does not really remind you
Of your fate
That awful day, that valentine
CHORUS
Like boredom when you're down town
Misfortune and then.
Can you live another love in your vein
SPACE
When the heart's ready to fly away
WAIT
Well can you give this mother fucker a break
SPACE, WAIT
Like boredom when you're down town
Misfortune and then you
I'm feeling close to clouds now

Yeah - well - I say what I mean
I say what comes to my mind
I never get around to things
I live a straight - straight line
You know me - I'm acting dumb
you know the scene - very humdrum
boredom - boredom
I'm living in this movie
but it doesn't move me
I'm the man that's waiting for the phone to ring
Hear it ring-a-ding-a-f***ing-ding
You know me ...
You see there's nothing behind me
I'm already a has-been
my future ain't what it was
well I think I know the words that I mean
You know me ...
B'dum - b'dum
I've taken this extravagant journey
so it seems to me
I just came from nowhere
and I'm going straight back there
You know me ...
So I'm living in this movie
but it doesn't move me
so tell me who are you trying to arouse?
get your hands out of my trousers

No one believes what you say,
Yer thoughts are kept locked away
Alone, quiet, cut up and dead
Passed out from the loss of blood
The potent smell of no god
Lying in his bloody bed
It's hard to breathe can't even see
A bored victim, life failed me
There was no other choice in his head
There was no other choice in his head
There was no other choice in my head
There was no other choice in my head
I never talked, you never heard
Invisible, I feel absurd
I hate the times, I hate the day
Make these thought fuckin go away
I'm lying here in my own blood
Feel the pain of no love
It was in his head this whole time

The air is getting so thick, it's almost making me sick, 'cause I'm just sittin'
around waiting for something to go'click, but nothing's clicking at all except for
the clock on the wall and a second feels like eternity. Boy, I'm having a ball...and
it's moments like this that are really making me miss the times when a word like
boredom just didn't exist, yeah those times where a lot better but sooner or later
I'll be coming back so strong although you wouldn't have thought I'd get up! Wanna
move, wanna grove, wanna live, wanna prove, I can do anything that I really wanna
do...
There's something about boredom that's making me sick!
There's something about life I'm missing a kick!
There's something about boredom that's making me sick!
There's something about life I'm missing in a kick...
Gimme that kick, boy!
I'm staring holes in the ceiling 'cause I'm hating that feeling, I'm bored to the
bone and my head starts reeling...and the walls around me, they surround me like a
giant fist, ready to pound me...over and over and over again, I've been caught up in
boredom since I don't know when, I just want get out, I wanna scream out and shout: I
never wanna be bored again 'cause it'll make me freak out. I don't care, truth or
dare, would someone help me out of there, so I can do anything, anytime, anywhere
I'm missing a kick, I'm missing a kick, I'm missing a goddamn a goddamn kick...gimme
that kick boy...yeah, there's something about boredom that's making me sick!

Welcome all you aliens
Hello to the brave ones
This world belongs to all of us
So come on out and save yourselves
Welcome different sexualities
Let your bodies move in non-abandoned beat
We are the chosen ones
Step into the sun
This is not a notion...
Boredom is for humans, boredom is for human beings
We've got to change the scene
Everyone's a mutant
Take off your mask and let us see
We are the subterraneans
Youth and passion mania
Someday all of us
Will be wearing each other's make-up
Welcome different sexualities
Let your bodies move in non-abandoned beat
We are the chosen ones
Step into the stun
This is not a notion...
Boredom is for humans, boredom is for human beings
We've got to change the scene
Everyone's a mutant
Take off your mask and let us see
Our time is finally here
The new visions are clear

Some say they will and some say they won't
Some say they do and some say they don't
Some say they shall and some say they shan't
and some say they can and some say they can't
All in all it's all the same
but call me if there's any change
Some say there's nothing and some say there's lots
Some say they've started while some say they've stopped
Some say they're going and some say they've been
Yes, some say they're looking and some say they've seen
All in all it's all the same

I used to walk my street
But baby, ever since you tied my feet together
I'm getting no relief
And you're holding back a stormy weather inside of me
I've tried to understand
Darling, why you've glued our hands together
I'm drowning in romance
You say we'll sail this way forever, I hope we'll strand
All the bridges, all the towers of this town
Could take me anywhere, but I'm to scared to dare
I've got my sturdy ground
I let my hair down, and I dance until I hear the sound
Of you coming around
Of me crumbling down
Of us denying our boredom, baby, yeah
It took some time to learn
You're overly concerned but hardly burnt
I guess there'll be no return
From where we are right now to more or less
Or to what we were
All the bridges, all the towers of this town
Could show me anywhere, if I would dare to care but
I've got my sturdy ground
I let my hair down, and I dance until I hear the sound
Of you coming around
Of me crumbling down
Of us denying our boredom, baby, yeah
All the bridges, all the towers of this town
Could pull me through, but I'd rather stay with you
At least I think I do
I let my hair down, I let my hair down
And I dance until I lose my mind
And you're coming around
And I'm crumbling down
