Something's a wrong!
Last night's gig didn't go to well!
People fighting near the stage
a cable ripped and fucked the sound
Refrain:
Fighting! Beating!
There must be another way
All we ask is to have a good time
Refrain
Solo: Axel, Andy
Always the same -
I postpone things to the very end
No one's to blame - except for myself
I've had three weeks to write this song-
I put it off - Too tired!
Tomorrow It's due now I must compose -
I'm really wired - Too bad!
Absence of mind - mu brain's still
void of inspired thoughts
Falling behind -
the hours pass on my digital clock
Refrain
Solo: Andy, Axel

...Into Desperation
...Desperation

(ian hunter/mark clarke/hilly michaels)
I got a shower curtain stickin' to my back
And the o'd' cologne sure packs a whack
I got blood on my razor - my face is in shock
'n' my hair hangin' down like a rastaman's locks
I think I'm ready - I'm gettin' ready
Gettin' ready teddy - we're all gonna have fun
I gotta rock 'n' roll - rocket says "you gotta go fast"
'n' the radio's blarin' out a blast from the past
Lucille's in the back screamin' "gimme a break"
Your momma didn't tell you - that's the chance you take
It's oh so sad
When this love is all that we have
To swallow a lifetime away
With so many hours in each day
But calm your foolish heart
Our girlfriend's can't keep us apart
I'm with you every step of the way
Baby - what more can I say
The only problem is
I wanna party - get down - boogie - have a great time
Well it's 36.50 for a room with a view
O' the empire state 'n' the pizza place, too
Lucille's got my body in a total eclipse
She's all lips 'n' hips - you know - one o' those trips
We're gettin' ready - she's gettin' ready
Today's escape will consist of a mask
I found it in a bargain bin
Why do you ask
Rosy cheeks and a smile
There's no shame in my game of denial
Don't you touch, move along
Keep your hands inside
Ask enough from afar
Enjoy the ride
It don't get much better than this
There's the riff, here's the hook,
Where's the myth
Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field
Beaten down on all fours
And they'll stare as they pass
Please don't feed or provoke
Or tap on the glass
Bet you never felt quite like that
You could say, don't complain where I'm at
Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field
You won't see me cry (you won't you won't)
You won't see me die
The escapade still exists of the task
Of pullin' off a miracle out of my @$$
It don't get much better than that
A savvy fox, a loyal dog, a sunny cat
Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field (Say hello to my force field)
Say hello to my force field (Say hello to my force field )
Say hello to my force field
lets get it straight. don't wanna repeat. yeah i'm in this for me. if any fun. thats what i've done. thats how its gonna be. gotta kill the rock stars fast today. gotta save the world from any pain all that is said and done. i just wanna have fun i'm not gonna wash my ass today. even though it really stinks. i'm going to make the band smell bad. i don't care what anybody thinks. don't wanna save the whales when the system fails don't wanna feed the bums. i'm in this for me. i just wanna have fun
So long
I've been waiting
To sing this song
Not sure
If it's worth it anymore
Working anymore
People always
Ask about you
People always
Want to talk about you
Sometimes when I
Sleep I think about you
With your new someone
Didn't we have fun
I know it hurts like hell
When you can't be with someone
Never stop to wonder why
Ohh how
I just hope you happy now
Hope you happy now
People always
Ask about you
People always
Want to talk about you
Sometimes when I
Sleep I think about you
With your new someone
Didn't we have fun
I know it hurts like hell
When you can't be with someone
Didn't we have fun
Though it hurts like hell
Yeah, I dont want to forget
Didn't we have fun
I know it hurts like hell
When you cant be with someone
Didn't we have fun
Though it hurts like hell
Yeah, I dont want to forget
Lets have fun, lets have fun,
We all need fun.
And this music is fun, school is fun,
Love is fun.
That means is fun?
Did the joyful fun,
To the proper response.
That means is fun?
Proper response.
Believe me, I'll be fine.
Music is music,
I'll be fine, music is fun, love is fun.
Lets have fun, lets have fun,
We all need fun.
And this music is fun, school is fun,
Love is fun.
Lets have fun, lets have fun,
We all need fun.
And this music is fun, school is fun,
Love is fun.
Fun, fun.
I'm gonna have my own private party
Gonna invite everyone I know
We'll all have our own personal celebration
I'm gonna send out invitations
To all my friends -- your friends -- and their friends too
We'll all go on a permanent paid vacation
Wouldn't that be fun?
And if anyone asks you I like having fun
I like having fun
Here we go now
Well if I was king I'd sign a proclamation
And if I was president I'd pass a law
And I'd call for a full-blown Senate investigation
Of everyone who wasn't having fun
If something ain't fun why do it?
I'd rather have fun
Many many years ago, when everything seemed ok
We lived our lives simply, just day by day.
We knew nothing about the world.
Just sat there and wondered about all the girls
We used to have fun.
But now you are gone
We used to call it punk
I wish you weren't gone
We used to jam in the basement, for hours on end.
We had love and support from all of our friends.
Didn't know anything about the world.
Girls: Fun

Boys: There's a sister and there's a brother
Havin' fun with each other
Girls: Fun
Boys: Daddy always hangs up the boys
He just wants to party with mother
Freddie: A private thought cannot be bought
But you know what you have to do
"Socketh unto others
As you would have them socketh to you"
Girls: Fun

Put a smile on your face
Hold on, hold on one minute, hold on, fun
"Hello, hi yeah, it's me
Yeah, look I'm going to be home again late okay?
Alright, yeah, bye-bye"
This isn't my idea of fun
Said, I'm not going to be the one
This isn't my idea of fun at all, at all, at all, at all, at all, at all
Love is meant to be so beautiful
Unconditional has it's downs as well as high's
So wonderful, am I supposed to be amazed?
Or is this compulsory
I know love too well
My mind drifts alone
You never comes with me, love
This isn't my idea of fun, oh no
This isn't my idea of fun
Said, I'm not going to be the one
This isn't my idea of fun at all, at all, at all, at all, at all, at all
I try to do this us we
But this must be yeah a funny kinda of happy
'Cause lately I find me lacking in stories and yearnings
Of wanting to be home and in your presence again
I find myself staying or just out delaying
I'm tired of this lying all this false smiling
We're just prolonging and faith avoiding
I'm not the one y'all, this ain't fun naw
This isn't my idea of fun
Said, I'm not going to be the one
This isn't my idea of fun at all, at all, at all, at all, at all, at all, at all
I had a complex for compliments, for offering
For nice comments, for interest, yeah for attention
In fact paranoia became an indiction
I tried to show affection in so many ways
I'm gazing into eyes
And with overnight stays
I'm cooking nice meals, phone calls in the days
This aint my way, this aint fun
This isn't my idea of fun
Said, I'm not going to be the one
This isn't my idea of fun at all, at all, at all, at all, at all, at all
Love is meant to be so beautiful
Unconditional has it's downs as well as highs
So wonderful, am I supposed to be amazed?
Or is this compulsory
I know love too well
My mind drifts alone
You never comes with me, love
This isn't my idea of fun, oh no
This isn't my idea of fun
Said, I'm not going to be the one
This isn't my idea of fun at all, at all, at all
This isn't my idea of fun
Said, I'm not going to be the one
Hi my name's Jimmy we're Murphy's Law

Fun fun I'm having fun
I don't care what you say
Gonna have fun today
Album : Original Theme Highlights
Spongebob:
It's not about winning, it's about fun!
Plankton:
What's that?
Spongebob:
Fun is when you... sorta like.... fun is about... What is fun? Here. Let me spell it for you.
Chorus: Spongebob
F is for friends who do stuff together
U is for you and me
N is for anywhere and anytime at all
Down here in the deep blue sea
Plankton:
F is for fire burning the whole town!
U is for uranium...... bombs
N is for no survivors!
Spongebob:
Plankton! Those things aren't what fun is all about! Do it like this!
Spongebob:
F is for friends who do stuff together
Plankton, interrupting:
No! That's completely idiotic!
Spongebob:
Here, let me help you.
Chorus, Spongebob:
F is for friendsa who do stuff together
U is for you and me, try it!
Plankton finishs:
N is for anywhere and anytime at all
Down here in the deep blue sea!

Spongebob and Plankton:

Here with my best buddy!
(Laughter)
Holy ghosts,
When do you come out to play?
'Cause if the Lord is gonna find me,
He'd better start looking today.
Last week my baby hit the slopes.
I spent the weekend setting traps in the road.
I should have been cutting out my eyelids,
you'll never guess what baby did when she got home.
Na na na na
Now at least the birds are singing to me,
but what they're trying to say,
I don't know.
(you're beautiful)
I think they come from the cold
(for all your big mistakes)
I think they come from the cold
(you stayed the same)
to the city that doesn't snow.
So I drove until we both broke down.
I was stranded in a border town
believing the motel TV would bring me to safety,
but between MTV and Mr. O'Reilly
I've come to find, that I can't be defined
so I turned it off, now convinced I would cross
Took one last look at the gold
as it shattered on a mountaintop.
Now I believe the sun, it's like a symphony.
But what it's trying to play,
I don't know.
(you're beautiful)
I think it's come from the cold
(for all your big mistakes)
I think it's come from the cold
(you stayed the same)
to the city that doesn't snow.
C'mon Holy ghosts
When do you come out to play?
'Cause if the Lord is gonna find me,
He'd better start looking today.
So I can rise with the river
We all float before we sink
So pray for satellites,
Pray for courtesy
and pray that it can climb mountains to me!
I say goodbye to the canyon.
I will set sail to the streets
where I don't care to be forgiven
I want to be forgotten.
I don't care to be forgiven
When Lord I only want to be forgotten!
Now I receive a call from my family
and what they started to say
brought me home.
(you're beautiful)
They think I'm beautiful
(for all your big mistakes)
They think I'm beautiful
(you're beautiful)
It's how we do it
Our feet in the sand
It's how we do it
Our heads in our hands
It's how we do it
I'm not lookin' for a reason to go
It's how we do it
We did it, we done it, but never before
Oh, I know
You put the keys in the car and drive
I'm gonna make sure the money is right
I know we can do it if we do it all night
You put the keys in the car and drive.
It's how we do it
It's how we do it
If I lose you, I'm losing control
So snap your fingers, pull the trigger
Cause I figure we're better as ghosts
It's how we do it
On a sattelite, lookin' for a signal to space
It's how we do it
We did it, we done it, let's do it again
You put the keys in the car and drive
I'm gonna make sure the money is right
I know we can do it if we do it all night
You put the keys in the car and drive
I'll find somebody who will stitch me up
Though I've never been better when we're falling apart
I know we can do it if we do it all night
You put the keys in the car and drive
You put the keys in the car and drive
For all that I know
It's gonna come back tenfold
For all that I know
It's gonna come back tenfold
But darling, oh no
I don't think
that we'll make it out alive
Darling, oh no
We won't make it out alive
Now I'm lost
With each passing day
So if you come in, then come quick
'Cause I'm scared I'm floating away
It's how we do it
For the first time, I don't need a reason to go
It's how we do it
We done it, let's do it some more
You put the keys in the car and drive
I'm gonna make sure the money is right
I know we can do it if we do it all night
You put the keys in the car and drive
I'll find somebody who will stitch me up
Though I've never been better when we're falling apart
I know we can do it if we do it all night
You put the keys in the car and drive
You put the keys in the car and drive
Light a roman candle with me.
Just a roman candle, you can wear your sandals
and I'll pour you just one cup of tea.
Then you can go and rest
you haven't seen my best, so...
Just spend an evening with me.
Just a lazy evening, then you could be leaving
or we could stay and talk until three.
I will think it's magic and I'll hope you'll agree, so...
Light a roman candle with me.
Just a roman candle.
Just a perfect apple.
If we were honest and both wrote a sonnet together
a sandwich with everything on it,
at least we would know that the sparks didn't glow
but we owe it to ourselves to try,
so we aim and ignite!
So often I call and I plead with you:
"Give me a chance!"
It's not that often that I understand
the ins and the outs of what's wrong and what's right.
So don't think of tomorrow night.
Oh, I know, it goes on, it gets old
But for now we're young, we smell good, we're alone...
You look for a legend,
I'm looking for common ground.
Your heart isn't breaking,
and mine isn't making a sound.
Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old
Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old...
Light a roman candle with me.
Just a roman candle.
Just hear
Those sleigh bells
Jingle-ing
Ring ting
Tingle-ing too
Come on
It's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride
Together with you
Outside
The snow is falling
And friends
Are calling "you hoo"
Come on
It's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride
Together with you
Giddy-yap, giddy-yap
Giddy-yap, let's go
Let's look at the show
We're riding
In a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yap, giddy-yap
Ggiddy-yap, it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're riding along
With the song
Of a wintry Wonderland
Our cheeks are nice
And rosy
And comfy cozy you'll be
We're snuggled up
Together like two birds
Of a feather would be
Let's take the road
Before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on
It's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride
Together with you
There's a birthday party
At the home of farmer gray
It'll be the perfect ending
To a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing
Without a single stop
At the fireplace
While we watch
The chestnuts pop
There's a happy feeling
Nothing in the world
Can buy
When we pass around
The coffee
And the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly
Be like a picture print
By currier and ives
These wonderful things
Are the things
We remember all through
Our lives
Let's take the road
Before us
And sing a chorus or two
Anyone can see
It's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride
Together with you
Give me a second,
I need to get my story straight
My friend's are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking about a
scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies
You know I'm trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Now I know it I'm not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let's raise a cup
'Cause I found someone to carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
The world is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me ho,me
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
My Christmas list is filling up with stuff I don't need
I was hoping for new shoes, the kind with the lights
I was naughty in high school, but now i'm trying to be nice
Even Santa he is thankful for the little things
(Like what kind of stuff Santa?)
Thanks for the moonlight that guides me on my way
And I won't be greedy, I don't ask for much these days
I just need one thing, please believe in me
Well, Christmas comes just once a year
I was hoping for snow shoes, or maybe a bike
But when I asked them for fun, they bought me "Aim and Ignite"
Even Santa he is thankful for the little things (Sweet Santa)
Thanks for the moonlight that guides me on my way
Thanks for the memories 'cause they keep us safe and remind me that it's okay to be lonely
Please believe in me.
(Hey, Mary-Kate, what are you getting Ashley for christmas?
Um, I actually just got her a Bowflex.
Shut Up! I was gonna get her a Bowflex.
Well, do you want to go shopping for something else?
For once there is nothing up my sleeve
Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me
I used to run at first sight of the sun
Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up
The city outside still sounds like it's on fire
You put on new sheets
The white flag of a Saturday night
I know we stayed up talking in circles
But I like to think the symmetry
Will keep me close to you
For everyone I'm out to prove wrong, you keep the light on
The only one, you know me better than the truth
So despite what I've done
I pray to God that we can move on
Cause thus far you are the best thing that this life is yet to lose
And, for once there is nothing up my sleeve
Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me
I used to run at first sight of the sun
Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up
I lay here waiting for you to wake up
So if you gonna leave, if you gonna go
I can't bare to sleep without you in my arms
I know we got caught up slipping through a crowd of people and looters
But you must not let them take you
They don't know you like I do
For once there is nothing up my sleeve
Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me
I used to run at first sight of the sun
Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up
I lay here waiting for you to wake up
Do you remember when we stayed up till the sun stretched through the room?
I used to blame it on the queens walking down 7th Avenue
It's been years now since we moved
I've gotten through with an excuse
You know I try not to speak superlatives
But it's impossible to you
The city outside is nothing but a flicker now
You see our friends to bed, you turn out the lights
I start to think you'll make a beautiful mother, I
I'm standing in Brooklyn just waiting for something to happen.
I can't help but love thinking that everyone doesn't get it.
To my left there's a window
Where did I go?
My reflection just blends in
And bad ideas, but ideas nonetheless in a song.
I put one foot in front of the other one. (Oh oh oh!)
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die.
I put one foot in front of the other one. (Oh oh oh!)
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die.
I put one foot in front of the other one. (Oh oh oh!)
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die.
I happen to stumble upon a chapel last night.
And I can't help but back up when I think of what happens inside.
I got friends looked in boxes. And no way to live.
But you call it a sin. Isn't up to them.
After all, after all I thought we were all your children,
But I will die for my own sins thanks a lot.
We'll rise up ourselves thanks for nothing at all,
so up off the ground up for fathers who are nothing but dust now.
I put one foot in front of the other one. (Oh oh oh!)
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die.
I put one foot in front of the other one. (Oh oh oh!)
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die.
Maybe I should learn to shut my mouth.
I am over twenty-five and I can't make a name for myself
some nights I break down and cry
I'm lucky that my father's still alive he's been fighting all his life
and if this is all I've ever know then may his soul live on forever in my song.
I put one foot in front of the other one. (Oh oh oh!)
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die.
I put one foot in front of the other one. (Oh oh oh!)
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die.
In front of the other one
In front of the other one
Have you ever wondered about our old nu-metal friends and what became of them?
Turns out I saw them a couple of days ago,
They were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing.
C'mon, can you count all the notches in your belt?
I'd rather not, let's just say I'm starving myself.
Baby, put your name down on a piece of paper.
I don't want no savior baby, I just wanna have a good time
Oh, oh, at least I'm not as sad as I used to be.
And they said,
"Hey Nate, yeah, it's been a while,
Are you gonna sing?"
And I began to smile and I said,
"You should've seen me a couple of years ago,
I was laughing and drinking and smoking and singing."
C'mon can you count all the loves that didn't last?
It's such a gas when you bring up the past.
Baby, put your name down on a piece of paper.
I don't want no savior baby, I just wanna get it out.
Oh oh, oh, At least I'm not as sad as I used to be.
Oh oh, oh, At least I'm not as sad as I used to be.
At least I'm not as sad as I used to be.
And they said we would've seen you two years ago
Had you stuck around or come out to a show,
But youth's taken over by rock and roll,
While we were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing...
So I left, that is it. That's my life, nothing is sacred.
I don't keep friends, I keep acquainted,
I'm not a prophet, but I'm here to profit.
That's all, I'm gone! That's my life, nothing is sacred.
I don't fall in love, I just fake it.
Walking alone 'cause the night is dead.
Crossed my mind when I crossed the bridge.
How you lost your mind,
and your wrist got bruised,
and you wanted better love
when it was sleeping in your bedroom.
Hold on,
Stay on my side,
Don't go.
If you could see me
Whoever I am.
It's not like the movies,
but it's not all skin and bones.
So come on love
(come on, come one, come all and go)
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
I will not let you go
Now I'm walking alone 'cause the night is dead.
My feet don't glide like they did back then,
when I would call you up so we could shoot the moon.
These days I'm left to howl in tune.
Hearts do break
and I must admit
I found a verse and a chorus
so I might have been faking it.
Think I might have only cried just once.
After all the shows,
after all the boys of summer had gone,
amid all the confusion
and friends I've been losing
I always thought from the start
I'd be the one moving on.
I guess I'll never know
Where all the boys of summer will go
but I'll miss what we made
and the days were not wasted.
There are some things I may never know.
How you lost your mind
and your wrists got bruised
and you wanted better love
well it's sleeping your bedroom.
Hold on,
Stay on my side,
Slow down,
we've got time left to be lazy
All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes.
We've got 50 good years left to spend out in the garden
I don't care to beg your pardon,
We should live until we die.
We were barely 18 when we'd crossed collective hearts.
It was cold, but it got warm when you'd barely crossed my eye.
and then you turned, put out your hand,
and you asked me to dance.
I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight.
I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose.
I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely.
Even if the sun stops waking up over the fields
I will not leave, I will not leave 'till it's our time.
So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side.
It was the winter of '86, and all the fields had frozen over.
So we moved to Arizona to save our only son
and now he's turning to a man, although he thinks just like his mother,
he believes we're all just lovers he sees hope in everyone.
And even though she moved away,
we always get calls from our daughter.
She has eyes just like her father's
they are blue when skies are grey
And just like him, she never stops,
Never takes the day for granted,
works for everything that's handed to her,
Never once complains.
You think that I nearly lost you
When the doctors tried to take you away.
But like the night you took my hand beside the fire
30 years ago to this day
You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time
Well it's not time, you've never quit in all your life.
So just take my hand, you know that I'll never leave your side.
You're the love of my life, you know that I'll never leave your side.
You come home from work and you kiss me on the eye
You curse the dogs and say that I should never feed them what is ours
and the kids are coming home
I'll set the table
What have we done, oh my god
What have we done, oh my god
This is really happening
You never looked so bored
Can you feel my fingernails?
They've never been so short
It's hard to lay a golden egg with everyone around
It's hard to stay inside my head when words keep pouring out
Like starlight crashing through the room, we'll lose our feathers
Yes, I know it hurts at first but it gets better
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
I can taste your summer sweat
It's never been so warm
So can we kick the covers off?
They're always on
It's never been so warm
It's hard to keep a straight face when I just want to smile
Wish you could see the look that's in your eyes
Like starlight crashing through the room, we'll lose our feathers
Yes, I know it hurts at first but it gets better
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
There's a fire in sky
Some snow on the ground
Not quite enough cigarettes
To calm me down
What have we done, oh my god
What have we done, oh my god
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
(This is really happening)
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
(This is really happening)
It gets better, it gets better
Were you named for the river that surrounds
All my biggest my mistakes or the way that I made it out
All the muscles in my mouth never smiled or said profound things
Until the day she handed you to me
Now for all the steps you'll take and all you'll overcome
I wanna be the one to put in a song
Take every single tear for all the world to hear
I wanna be the one to put it in a song
Cigarettes are raining hard on the Upper East Side
She brings me a cake we celebrate I have arrived
And I know that it's been sang before but you're my human holiday
I put my hands to the table and dare say the love of my life
And your brother with his best friend
Shares a name I'm gonna need
Really couldn't bring me down
For everything you lost and all you overcome
I wanna be the one to put it in a song
Take every single tear for all the world to hear
I wanna be the one to put it in a song and make it last forever
Clever comes in truth when truth begets the past
Its sends its call out to the moon
And the moon can see the beauty that surrounds your heart as it pounds
It starts the beat inspiring me until I make the sound
I wanna be the one, I wanna be one, I wanna be the one
For everything you lost and all you overcome
I wanna be the one to put it in a song
Take every single tear for all the world to hear
[Brendon]
It's getting late, and I
Cannot seem to find my way home tonight
Feels like I am falling down a rabbit hole
Falling for forever, wonderfully wandering alone
What would my head be like
If not for my shoulders
Or without your smile
May it follow you forever
May it never leave you
To sleep in the stone,
May we stay lost on our way home
[Brendon]
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
[Nate]
If I should die tonight
May I first just say I'm sorry
For I, never felt like anybody
I am a man of many hats although I
Never mastered anything
When I am ten feet tall
I've never felt much smaller, since the fall
Nobody seems to know my name
So don't leave me to sleep all alone
May we stay lost on our way home?
[Brendon and Nate]
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
[Brendon and Nate]
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
[Brendon]
Try not to mistake what you have with what you hate
[Brendon and Nate]
It could leave, it could leave, come the morning
[Nate]
Celebrate the night
It's the fall before the climb
[Brendon and Nate]
Shall we sing, shall we sing, 'til the morning
[Brendon]
If I fall forward, you fall flat
[Brendon and Nate]
And if the sun should lift me up
Would you come back? C'mon!
[music interlude]
[Brendon]
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
[Brendon and Nate]
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
[Brendon and Nate]
So c'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
[Brendon screams] YEAH YEAH YEAH!
[Brendon]
As I walk through the streets of my new city
my back feeling much better, I suppose
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
for better or for worse, I've yet to know
but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Suddenly I'm lost
On my street
On my block
Oh why, Oh why
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
This time I think it's for real, I can see
All the tree tops turning red
The beggars near bodegas grin at me
I think they want something
I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe
and be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Oh I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
Be calm.
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
"I always see you looking out your window."
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
Now every single crack, every penny that I pass,
says I should either leave or pick it up
But with every single buck I've made
I'm saddled with bad luck that came
the moment I was baptized
or when I found out one day I'm gonna die
if only I could find my people or my place in life
a when they come a'carolin'
so loud, so bright, the theremin
will lead us to a chorus
where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
Be calm.
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
and everything's wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm.
I don't remember much that night,
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
When from that street corner came a song
And I can't remember the man,
The panhandler or his melody.
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Oh I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
Be calm.
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
You hate your pulse because it still thinks you're alive
and everything's wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm.
All the pretty girls on a saturday night
So I call your name, cross my fingers
uncross the others, hesitate.
I don't think straight with nothing to prove.
I don't wanna say I'm leaving
so I'll stay until the weekend.
And you can take all your things;
the boxes and rings
and get going.
'Cause I've been waiting for...
All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.
Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes.
Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?
I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.
So I call you out
Just to feel a little bit better about myself
And I do, baby I do
'Til their lips start to move,
and their friends wanna talk music
I say "I've never heard the tune!"
But I have, I just hate the band
'cause they remind me of you.
Every single night ends up the same,
I don't say much at all, but I bring up your name.
(Over and over and over)
I think it's striking me out.
All the pretty girls on a Saturday night
Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes.
Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?
I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.
But not you,
you still wear boots and your hair is too long
and then this one doesn't want to admit she's fallen in love
Oh c'mon, oh c'mon, what's a boy to do
When all the pretty girls can't measure to you.
I don't understand your reasons
Please just stay over the weekend
You can't take all those things
They define you and me
everything we've become,
You're all that I need
Please don't make me face my generation alone.
All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.
Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes.
Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?
I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.
But not you,
I feel your faith is destroying the world
and then this one doesn't want to admit
the 80s is over and done
Oh c'mon, what's a boy to do,
I fell in love with a wind-up souvenir
I bought it downtown as I was on my way to meet you
She sounds like the songs you used to sing to put me to sleep but
Now that you're gone she's all I've left to hold
And I feel so all alone
No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke
How do you cry with inanimate eyes?
You're never gonna smile with the way that you are
And I feel so all alone
I gave it to you I thought you might appreciate
The way that she dances, the painted look upon her face
She must of come from the sun. I wanna take her through the park
Where she tell me I'm all that she wants and she could even talk.
I feel so all alone
No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke
How do you cry with inanimate eyes?
You're never gonna smile with the way that you are
And I feel so all alone
I feel so all alone
As she sits on my shelf it makes me think of you
The way she carries the things that remind me of who
We used to be before we became empty
She's a lot like you
But when i hold her too
Tight I know she'll break
Just take some glue to stay
I feel so all alone
No one's gonna fix when I'm broke
How do you cry with inanimate eyes?
You're never gonna smile with the way that you are
And I feel so all alone
I feel so all alone
I've got enough on my mind
That when she pulls me by the hand
She hasn't much to hold onto
She's keeping count on her hands
One, two, three days that I've been sleeping on my side
I've finished kissing my death
So now I head back up the steps
Thinking about where I've been
I mean it's always never like this
I wanna feel with the seasons
I guess it makes sense because my life's become as vapid as
A night out in Los Angeles
And I just wanna stay in bed
I hold you like I used to
You know that I am home
So darling if you love me
Would you let me know?
Well - go on, go on, go on
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff
For once, for once, for once
I've got the feeling that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff?
She got enough on her mind
But now she feels no sorrow (?)
I let my faith fill the air
So now she's rolling down the window
Never been one to hold on
But I need a last breath
So I ask if she remembers when
She used to come and visit me
We were fools to think that nothing would go wrong
Well - go on, go on, go on
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff
For once, for once, for once
I've got the feeling that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff?
I think I kinda like it but I might have had too much
And I'll move back down
To this western town
When they find me out
Make no mistake about it
I'll move back down
To this western town
When they find me out
Make no mistake about it
(I'll move back)
Well - go on, go on, go on
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff
Well - go on, go on, go on
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff
For once, for once, for once
I've got the feeling that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff?
I think I kinda like it but I might have had too much
Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck; some nights, I call it a draw
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore...
This is it, boys, this is war - what the hell are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style
That's alright (that's alright).
I found a martyr in my bed tonight.
Stops my bones from wondering just who I, who I, who I
a-a-a-am, oh who am I, m-mm, m-mm.
Well, some nights I wish that this all would end
'Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win (I always win)
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know...
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
No. When I see stars, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like a swan, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on.
That is it, guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks back home; I'm sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called "love"
But when I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible lie
The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
The sheer sincere rap engineer's here
And wherever I go yo, you know my man Jay's near
More than up to par, styles indicate who we are
Like the gas-filled car, we're gonna go far
Business we've been takin care of it I'm swearin it
And we're aware of it cause our bank books are bearin it
Every theme is extreme and supreme no bluff
And every is slap and oh so tough
But there's a time that I find yeah and it comes like a season
To wind down for no other reason than it's pleasin
To take a break from employment and let loose
And reduce the pressue for sure pure enjoyment
We got the time so let's make it a good one
Soon we'll say back to the tunes and being top guns
And yet we'll never regret and say this is what we should've done
The clock she runs c'mon an let's have fun
Let's jump in the rides and cruise
Destination somplace a space anywhere we choose
Laughter food and good times'll never fail ya
To hell with intoxicating paraphenalia
Well ya cold wanna slap on slow song, square up
Pair up, stare down, hair down, sex long and strong
Keep on and don't quit it if it's F-U-N, hit it
Get it, but don't neflect preventions and limits
We can eve lounge in the crib watch some movies
starring Arnold Scwarzeneggar, bumrush the refridgerator
Yo Jay pass the Pringles, I want a bit
(Cake Jaz, cake Jaz, gimme some of it)
Greenbacks every track that's what we're gonna get
Go out and spend a ton of it just for the fun of it
The room's vibratin, cause I can't stop
Yeah the girls are in the back blastin that good ol hip-hop
Call up some friends disturb the peace
Play a smash by Jaz or Jay-Z's dope release
Like a Dove Bar freshly dipped so you can hook
and sling and slip and skip the beat is equipped
To be twice as nice concise and precise to suffice
(The crowd) who resemble recipients of a jewelry heist
A group of positive people and we're proud to be
The way we are and we know just how to be
Dignity eloquence good sense
And we'll all have a ball y'all, a slammin experience
So let's talk and if it's humerous let's laugh
Life's too short to be negative let's have fun
Let's have fun y'all let's have it
Take good times like goodies and grab it
Stop firin stash the iron and groove
Because the track impacts like a Karl Malone power move
Rhymes sharper than a ginsu knife
(Are you serious?) Word... (l-l-life)
Get some (cause the beat ain't bum)
(It'll never break yo heat but it'll buss yo' eardrum)
This a symbold a sign a good omen
To create fun is truely to create a good moment
So make noise and rejoice and keep control of yourself
Be cool be safe be wise and watch your health
Sometimes I get lost I gotta break off from the crew
Dinner jackets and tie and shined up shoes
Reservation a table for two
Candlelight fine cuisine what a scene me and you
Maitre'd yo, do somethin smooth for us
Kick the R&B; or, jazz with a smooth chorus
And as the music plays is everything OK?
Yes honey? Wouldn't have it any other way
Holdin hands bein intimate
Love is the feelin and I'm into it
What we got will not ever diminish
I'm yours forevermore to endure and replenish
Buss the motion me and my main partner
Get along, us two? Man it ain't hard
Check the signals on a nightlike tonight
Car waxed up and system blastin like dynamite
Bass flows through ya body before you seeme come
Tank killed with the no-lead premium
The boys with poise in high demand and
Heavy as lead, gear is outstandin
(Where will we go?) Yo I don't know
But it'll be real (real what?) high potent
to say the least it'll never be hum drum
There are some nights I hold on to every note I ever wrote
Some nights, I say "fuck it all" and stare at the calendar
Waiting for catastrophes, imagine when they scare me
Into changing whatever it is I am changing into...
And you have every right to be scared.
Cos there are some nights I hold you close, pushing you to hold me
Or begging you to lock me up, never let me see the world
Some nights, I live in horror of people on the radio
Tea parties and Twitter, I've never been so bitter
And you, why you wanna stay?
Oh my God! Have you listened to me lately?
Lately, I've been going crazy...
And you, why you wanna stay?
Oh my God! Have you listened to me lately?
Lately, I've been fucking crazy...
There are some nights I wait for someone to save us
But I never look inward, try not to look upward
And some nights I pray a sign is gonna come to me
But usually, I'm just trying to get some sleep...
Walking alone 'cause the night is dead
Crossed my mind when I crossed the bridge
How you lost your mind
Wour wrist got bruised
You wanted better love
When it was sleeping in your bedroom
Hold on
Stay on my side
Don't go
If you could see me
Whoever I am
It's not like the movies
It's not all skin and bones
So come on love
Come on, come on, go
No, no, no
I will not let you go
I will not let you go
Now I'm walking alone 'cause the night is dead
My feet don't glide like they did back then
When I would call you up so we could shoot the moon
These days I'm left to howl in tune
Hearts do break
I must admit
I got a better set of calls
I might have been faking it
Think I really only cried just once
If you could see me
Whoever I am
It's not like the movies
It's not all skin and bones
So come on love
Come one, come on, go
No, no, no
I will not let you go
After all the shows
After the boys of summer did go
Amid all the confusion
These friends I've been losing
I always thought from the start
I'd be the one moving on
I guess I'll never know
Where all the boys of summer did go
But I'll miss what we made
I know the days were not wasted
There are some things that I may never know
How you lost your mind
And your wrists got bruised
You wanted better love
Sleeping your bedroom
Hold on
Stay on my side
Don't go
I wish you could see me
Whoever I am
It's not like the movies
It's not all skin and bones
So come on love
Come one, come on, go
No, no, no
Take your time coming home.
Hear the wheels as they roll.
Let your lungs fill up with smoke.
Forgive everyone.
She is here and now she is gone.
We had plans, we can't help but make love.
It's a beautiful thing when you love somebody,
And I love somebody.
Yeah I love somebody.
Take your time coming home.
Hear the wheels as they roll.
Let your lungs fill with smoke.
Forgive everyone.
I don't think I'd been misled,
It was a rock 'n' roll band,
I'm still standing,
Take your time coming home.
See, of everyone who called,
Very few said, "We believe in you."
The overwhelming choice said
I'm just a boy inside a voice.
And if it's true, if it's true, if that's true,
then what the f**k have I been doing the last six years?
How did I end up here?
How did I find love and conquer all my fears?
See, I made it out.
Out from under the sun.
And the truth is that I feel better because I've forgiven everyone.
Now I'm not scared
of a song
or the states,
or the stages.
I'm not scared.
I got friends,
took my call,
came courageous.
Now I feel like I am home.
One more thing, I keep having this dream
Where I'm standing on a mountain
Looking down on the street
I can hear kids in low-income houses singing
"We're through with causing a scene"
I don't know what it means
But I too, I'm through with causing a scene.
She is here and now I think she's ready to go.
For every love that's lost I heard a new one comes.
So come on with me, sing along with me,
Let the wind catch your feet.
If you love somebody,
you'd better let them know.
What is fun?
Let me spell it for you.
F is for friends who do stuff together
U is for you and me
N is for anywhere and anytime at all
Down here in the deep blue sea
F is for fire that burns down the whole town
U is for uranium, bombs
N is for no survivers when your
PLANKTON!
Those things aren't what fun is all about
Now do it like this
F is for friends who do stuff to
NEVER!
That's completly idiotic
Here let me help you
F is for friends who do stuff together
U is for you and me
TRY IT!
N is for anywhere and anytime at all
Down here in the deep blue sea
Wait I don't understand this
I feel all tingly inside
Should we stop?
No, that's how your supposed to feel
Well I like it
LET'S DO IT AGAIN!
F is for frollick through all the flowers
U is for ukelele
N is nose picking sharing down my side licking
Here with my best buddy
I showed you everything but you couldn't see
I started screaming but you just didn't hear me speak
I tried to run but you walked on by
I told a joke and then you started to cry
She said I wanna see the world
So I bought her a map
I'll take you anywhere you want
But we might never come back
So come on, come on
You got me on my knees
We could be having fun
So get up and move on
Cause you're so hard to please
We should be having fun
Ooohoohoo ooohoohoo
With friends like these we should be having fun
Ooohoohoo ooohoohoo
With friends like these we should be having fun
We leave the house but you've got nothing to wear
I'm out the front but you're still trying to fix your hair
I've waited weeks for this one sunny day
We only got here, now you're praying for rain
I said let's go to Japan
But you don't eat Japanese
I'm trying so hard
But you're just so hard to please
So come on, come on
You got me on my knees
We could be having fun
So get up and move on
Cause you're so hard to please
We should be having fun
Ooohoohoo ooohoohoo
With friends like these we should be having fun
Ooohoohoo ooohoohoo
With friends like these we should be having fun
All I wanna do is have some fun
Before I die, let's have some fun
All I wanna do is have some fun
Before I die, let's have some fun
So come on, come on
You got me on my knees
We could be having fun
So get up and move on
Cause you're so hard to please
We should be having fun
Ooohoohoo ooohoohoo
With friends like these we should be having fun
Ooohoohoo ooohoohoo
Pick a number that means 1 and a number that means 3.
Add them up and count to 10, see just what they mean to me.
I'm afraid of growing cold, I'm afraid of being here,
I'm afraid of everything you know, except being on my own.
Well it's not - something that really bothers me
Well you know - you know it doesn't bother me
You know me - you know it I take it as it comes
And if it don't - well, it doesn't
I don't need someone like that, I don't need you guilt for mine,
I don't want no one to call me up, I don't want what you implied.
But it's not - something that really bothers me
Well you know - you know it doesn't bother me
You know me - you know I take it as it comes
And if it don't - well, it doesn't. At all.
Don't buy me trips away, let me walk before I run,
I don't need anything you call fun. It doesn't seem like fun to me.
I will leave you far behind and you will never follow me,
I don't need what you have and I don't want what you need.
I don't want anything you call wealth, I just want to be myself.
Well it's not - something that really bothers me
Well you know - you know it doesn't bother me
You know me - you know I take it as it comes
