You see yourself being so small
Running into every brick wall
It's not as far as you can go
The road is twisting turning
A life is living learning
There's so much more for you to know
If you could lock the past away
Step back through the doorway
This ride has just begun
If I could change your point of view
Is there someway I can show you
The best is yet to come
Not every problem can be
Solved so easily
Not every answer is the one
Above the flood of emotion
It's all about forward motion
Define your place in the sun
Try to hide
It's all inside
You can find a place where the pain and guilt can fall away
If you're spitting truth
Bulletproof
Crashing through the walls that separate me and you
Now you'll find with everything you lose
Your path clears with everything you choose
If you could lock the past away
Step back through the doorway
This ride has just begun
Change your point of view
Is there someway I can show you
The best is yet to come
Is there someway I can show you
I'm one of those things you save forever but never need
Like an old newspaper no one has time to read
This child has grown into a dead end
Since I lost the power to pretend
But it's alright, that's who I am inside
Not much to say on this non-toxic, ordinary day
That's no superhero standing right in front of us
So take this pocket full of kryptonite and beat it back to Metropolis
There'sonly room for one on this microphone
In my finest hour I'm still alone
But old news can change, as memories float downstream
I met her just last Wednesday
By Friday she was mine
Saturday she spent the night
And everything was fine
By Sunday she was on my nerves
I wanna be alone
Tuesday's here it's been a week
Why won't she go home
In the bedroom she's faking
All the good ones are taken
Do I have freak stamped across my forehead
I just want a normal girlfriend
But here we go again
The start of week two
She cooks me dinner at her pad
But I can't believe its just so
I can meet her mom and dad
So I sat her down and told her
I just wanna be friends
Today when I got home
The crazy bitch was movin in
In the bedroom she's faking
All the good ones are taken
Do I have freak stamped across my forehead
I just want a normal girlfriend
But here we go again
Dear God I'm so ashamed
I'll do anything to get laid
In the bedroom she's faking
All the good ones are taken
Do I have freak stamped across my forehead
I just want a normal girlfriend
But here we go again
Do you feel the need
To laugh behind my back?
Does it make up for
All the things you seem to lack?
But I see through you
Jealousy can't make you strong
I'll walk right through you
You'll close your eyes and I'll be...
Gone...do everything to prove you
Wrong...You're the ones that don't
Belong...Now you finally see that
I just can't stay in one place
Where I get torn down
When there's nobody else around
What doesn't kill me
Only makes me strong
If you can't feel me
Just close your eyes cause I'll be
Gone...do everything to prove you
Wrong...You're the ones that don't
Belong...now you finally see that
I just can't stay in a place
Where I get torn down
When there's nobody else around
All my life I've tried to find
My place where I fit in
Now I find in the dark I'm blind
To what everybody else thinks I am
Gone...do everything to prove you
Wrong...you're the ones that don't
Belong...Now you finally see that
I just can't stay in a place
Where I get torn down
When there's nobody else around
Does it really matter what I want
Does it really matter how I feel
Aren't you gonna do what you want
Why would you ask when you can steal
You take everything that I am
You take everything from me
So this is what it feels like to be used
So this is what it feels like to be lied to
I don't think I could feel more let down
I don't think I'll ever give a damn about you
You take everything that I am
You take everything from me
You take everything that I have
Just take everything from me
You don't know what I'm capable of
I won't let you limit me
You don't care what I think
If you cut me do I not bleed
You take everything that I am
You take everything from me
You take everything that I have
Just take everything from me
Where did you go Axl Rose?
Angel lives alone in East Baltimore
Eviction notice stapled to her front door
Bleach-blond hair, fishnet pantyhose
God she wishes it was 15 years ago
When buying her a drink meant anything
You wanted that night... was alright
But through cocaine tears and 15 years
You know she sleeps alone tonight
Where did you go Axl Rose?
Ricky lives alone... mother's basement
37 got nothing yet to show for it
Heavy metal man with his long hair
The top is gone but he's still rockin' the ponytail
All he's got now is post grunge apathy
(catastrophe)
He says The Vines and The White Stripes
Just don't get it for me and my friends
Take me back when...
Where did you go Axl Rose?
Till one night at karaoke
Ricky was kickin out Bon Jovi
"Dead Or Alive" I think it was
And right then Angel fell in love
She knew they'd be together
Stuck in the past together
He don't care he's stuck in the '80s
She don't care she's stuck in the '80s
They don't care they're stuck in the '80s
We don't care we're stuck in the '80s
Where did you go Axl Rose?
All the bricks caved in
smashed the mouths of the weak
All the bricks caved in
to crush what we tend to seek
I've found my last temptation
turns into my last frustration
I refuse to crawl with my back against the wall
I'm never gonna fall into the trap you left for me
All the bricks caved in
Everything's torn down
All the bricks caved in
Our buildings burned to the ground
I've found my last temptation
Gasoline, God, guns and ostentation
I refuse to crawl with my back against the wall
I'm never gonna fall into the trap you left for me
Day after day
night after night
the Sweet Mother Mary
looks for the light
Day after day
she's up on the cross
the Father, the Son,
the souls that she lost
In this house of seven
we paint the walls
with splattered blood and bourbon
screams down the halls
In this house of seven
we paint the walls
We paint the walls...
I refuse to crawl with my back against the wall
I'm never gonna fall into the trap you left for me
I refuse to crawl with my back against the wall
I'm never gonna fall into the trap you left for me
In this house of seven
we paint the walls
You see yourself through, you're so small
Running into every brick wall
It's not as far as you can go
The road is twisting, turning
Our life is living, learning
There's so much more for you to know
If you could, lock the past away
step back through the doorway
This ride has just begun
If I could, change your point of view
Is there some way I can show you
The best is yet to come
Not every problem can be solved so easily
Not every answer is the one
Above the flood of emotion
It's all about forward motion
Define your place in the sun
If you could, lock the past away
step back through the doorway
This ride has just begun
If I could, change your point of view
Is there some way I can show you
The best is yet to come
Try to hide, it's all inside
Look and find a place where the pain and you can follow it
If you're spitting truth, bullet proof,
crashing through the walls that separate me and you
Now you're fine with every thing you lose
Your path clears with everything you choose
This life has just begun
Smiling faces on magazines
Checkout line trash beauty queens
The Good time party has to crash
Say Goodbye fairweather friend
Use me up until the end
By the way can you spare any cash?
So Light yourself a big cigar
Lease a house and seven cars
Live like the Hip-Hop Superstars
Never like a One Hit Wonder
Flash in the pan
15 Minute Idol
I'd rather sit at home and wonder
Never understand
How to be a 15 Minute Idol
Get our lives from TV screens
Cold Cristal and limousines
Let's make believe that it's all good
TRL is such a joke
Pushing Coors and Diet Coke
Sell it out just like we're Hollywood
Never like a One Hit Wonder
Flash in the pan
15 Minute Idol
I'd rather sit at home and wonder
Never understand
How to be a 15 Minute Idol
[solo]
Never like a One Hit Wonder
Flash in the pan
15 Minute Idol
I'd rather sit at home and wonder
Never understand
How to be a 15 Minute Idol
I confess it's all true.
I'm a mess, what a fool
Now what do I do
I need your help to get up from my knees
I can't seem to see the forest for the trees
As I wait in my silent misery
All I'm asking is please...forgive me
Now she knows me
She wants me to be
Someone I can't be
...and she wants me
...and she needs me
...and she wants me
Because she loves me
SHATTERED
Now you see inside
I no longer hide
Or fall between the cracks you left behind
Shattered, now you're out of time
You've come this far to be denied
All she's asking is for a little more time,
To walk away from his anger and leave the bruises far behind
She won't talk about it...she's made up her mind
But as the front door shuts behind her she whispers "give me a sign."
Feels the power of the engine as she climbs to 65
Every piston sounds like freedom, every white line says goodbye
She'll find strength in her anger and the truth in his lies
When the last scar finally fades she'll have a new life
Say goodbye to Mr. Right
Lock the door, turn out the light
Pack your bags, leave this trap
Run away, don't look back
See another day with each new sun
Your life has just begun
She can still feel the touch of his hand
Not just the violence but the warmth of her man
The night she never felt so alive
even though it feels so cold outside
If you wanted to
Could your heart be true
If you wanted to
Could you not want
Anyone else's world
Anyone else's world
If you wanted it
Just break off a bit
If you wanted a taste of it
Somebody else's world
I'm a Broken Handed Superman
You're a Krypto-Nightingale Snow White
Now I understand
It's something I understand
Some things I understand
If I wanted to
Could my faith be true
If I wanted to
Could I not want
Anyone else's world
Anyone else's world
When I wanted it
I'd break off a bit
If I wanted a taste of
Someone's world
Somebody else's world
There is no sin and virtue here
Always see me
All my deamons
(I) always that I was the cool kid class-clown
Thats until you called me last year's loudmouth
Now I'm full of these modern day self-doubts
Got me feeling hopeless and left out
I can't eat
I can't sleep
I can't argue
With the evidence I'm insecure
I can't eat
I can't sleep
I can't argue
With the fact I want to be adored
I want to be the one
Everybody wants
I want to be more than just another smalltown-hero
Don't wanna
Always thought I was your number one regret
Just another common glory day reject
Go ahead reach for another cigarette
Cause you're graveyard bound in the rusted-out town
I can't eat
I can't sleep
I can't argue
With the evidence I'm insecure
I can't eat
I can't sleep
I can't argue
With the fact I want to be adored
I want to be the one
Everybody wants
I want to be more that just another smalltown-hero
Don't wanna
[solo]
I want to be the one
Everybody wants
I want to be more than just another smalltown-hero
Don't wanna
You like when we go fast
So my foot's on the brake
Used to be my girl
But now you're just my worst mistake
You don't see it, not a subtle change
Makes me laugh you turned into a cliche
Everytime you told me
That we'd never say goodbye... was a lie
You knew what to expect from me
Just like a hit of exctasy
You made me high
You think I still want you
After all you put me through
You think I can't walk away
And find someone better for me
Just take your overactive ego
Shrink it down like a mosquito
Baby lovin you was such a chore
Til I got bored
Now I don't think about you anymore
From the first time I saw you naked
I could see the future
I knew that my world was shaken
Lost my innocence then I lost my mind
Thank god now I see
Cause with you I must have been blind cause
Everytime you told me
That we'd never say goodbye... was a lie
Just like a common criminal
You gave me just the minimal to
Keep me hanging on inside
Now that I can breathe
I'm done with therapy
It's your turn to burn
Covered up in lies
And still so full of pride
I hope you choke
Cause its the sex I'll miss the most
Hey, little asshole!
I thought I told you to stay out of my room?
My daddy used to call me little asshole,
when he got home from work every night
That's because I used to break everything he owned,
everything that he thought was nice
At 65, he's getting old, daddy's getting a little slow
Now I'm gonna break everything else he owns, tonight
It all started back in '77,
when god sent this angel down from heaven
You hoped I'd become the king of my class,
but I turned out to be a royal pain in the ass
You decided to call me Mitch, well, paybacks are a bitch
And I guess I'm just the punishment for your past
My daddy used to call me little asshole,
(Little asshole!)
when he got home from work every night
That's because I used to break everything he owned,
everything that he thought was nice
Well, 65 is getting old, daddy's getting a little slow
Now I'm gonna break everything else he owns, tonight
You decided to send me off to Shepherd Pratt*,
where they said "Sir, we'll take care of your little brat"
First, they diagnosed me with hyperactivity,
then they said I had A B C D E F'in' G
Said I'd be a problem child, always just a little wild
Well, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree
My daddy used to call me little asshole,
(Little asshole!)
when he got home from work every night
That's because I used to break everything he owned,
everything that he thought was nice
Well, 65 is getting old, daddy's getting a little slow
Now I'm gonna break everything else he owns, tonight
I can hear him say...
"Hey, little asshole!
I thought I told you to stay out of my room?"
Daddy thought he wasted all his money,
sending me off to the university
But he didn't realize my long-term scheme,
only 5-and-1-half years to get my degree
When I got home, I'd never guess,
daddy had a new address
and the note said there was no room there for me!
My daddy used to call me little asshole,
(You little asshole!)
when he got home from work every night
(What the hell did you do now?)
That's because I used to break everything he owned,
everything that he thought was nice
Well, 65 is getting old, daddy's getting a little slow
I think it's time for me to go, the basement's getting mighty cold,
but not before I break everything else tonight
I can hear him say
"Hey, little asshole!
I thought I told you to stay out of my room?
Hey, little asshole!
I thought I told you to stay out of my room?"
Love I get so lost, sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your eyes
Love, I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
And all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, wihout my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
The heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes in your eyes
In your eyes in your eyes
In your eyes in your eyes
There's a hole
In my Goodwill shoes
From walking down
The eastside street too long
Well I'm trying to get out
Get out while I can
Cause this town's wonder years
Have come and gone
I can't express myself
I just depress myself
Of all your choices man
You think you just get one right
I never wanted this
Dirty white trash kiss
Thanks for giving me
Your blue light special life
The kid next door
With the filthy face
Scrapes his gum
Right off the sidewalk
A ripped t-shirt
A new used pair of jeans
He's a clothesline clepto
Backyard parking lot
Now I know it's all your fault
I can't express myself
I just depress myself
Of all your choices man
You think you just get one right
I never wanted this
Dirty white trash kiss
Thanks for giving me
Your blue light special life
[breakdown]
I can't express myself
I just depress myself
Of all your choices man
You think you just get one right
I never wanted this
Dirty white trash kiss
Thanks for giving me
Your blue light special life
I never got high the first time I tried
Just like everyone
I know the cigarettes were bold
For a little four foot nothing ten year-old
On hot summer days
We'd go down to the mall
Send security climbin' up the walls
Just like everyone
We were forever young
I am not so original
Never to be cynical
A little unstable
Clinically labeled
Fucked-up all-American
I am totally miserable
Ever to be pigeon-holed
Completely obsessive
Manic depressive
Fucked-up all-American
We lived out our lives like we would never die
Just like everyone
But before Keith went to bed
He put a double barrel shotgun to his head
I am not so original
Never to be cynical
A little unstable
Clinically labeled
Fucked-up all-American
I am totally miserable
Ever to be pigeon-holed
Completely obsessive
Manic depressive
Fucked-up all-American
Smashing bottles and cans
For reasons I don't understand
When I look at the past
It's like staring at pieces of broken glass
I am not so original
Never to be cynical
A little unstable
Clinically labeled
Fucked-up all-American
I am totally miserable
Ever to be pigeon-holed
Completely obsessive
Manic depressive
Fucked-up all-American
Debbie just hit the wall
She never had it all
One prozac a day
Husband's a C.P.A.
Here dreams went out the door
Once she turned 24
Only been with one man
What happened to her plans
She was gonna be an actress
She was gonna be a star
She was gonna shake that ass
On the hood of Whitesnake's car
Now her SUV has become the enemy
Looks at her average life
Nothing has been alright... since
Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana there was U2
And Blondie and music still on MTV
Her 2 kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
Cause she's still preoccupied
With 1985
She's seen all the classics
at least a hundred times
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink,
Fast Times At Ridgemont
She rocks out to Wham!
Not a big Limp Bizkit fan
Never knew George was gay
Hoped they'd hook up one day
Where's her fairy tale, where's her dream?
Where's the quarterback
From her high school football team?
Where's her fairy tale, where's her dream?
How many times will she ask herself
What happened to me?
(the rubber broke) ... When
Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana there was U2
And Blondie and music still on MTV
Her 2 kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
Cause she's still preoccupied
With 1985
She hates time / make it stop
When did Motley Crue become classic rock
She hates time / make it stop
Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana there was U2
And Blondie and music still on MTV
Her 2 kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
Cause she's still preoccupied
With 1985
Staring down from 30,000 feet above the planet
She gets the sense nothing's behind her anymore
Her quest for fame has left her nothing short of a fanatic
For the chance to be the one that we adore
Fame's what she's wanting
You can't go too far (when that's who you are...because)
Fame's what she's wanting
Not a face in the crowd just a disposable pop star
They called her princess cause they always knew she'd be a servant
Never having an ambition in her life
They all knew she end up just another loser's girlfriend
Who'd a thought she'd become a Jedi Knight
I'm not afraid to go backwards and fix what we broke
My gaze falls behind, you make desire seem so easy
I hold off sleep, it's so silent without you here
Don't give up now, it would all be for nothing
I believe in second chances
I believe the years forget
Let me fill these empty spaces
Better late than never / Stay forever
Let me fill this empty space
There's always room for one more mistake
Can you feel that
I think we're moving in the right direction
I was someone else then
I'd take it back if you would let me
We were never this close when we were young
Alone again tonight
In this empty time
The sound in my head
The sight leaves me blind
I'll write a million words
I'll sing until it hurts
How far could this be
Until it's seen
How long will I let this go
I can't stand to spend another night alone
I stare at the empty walls
I speak, no one hears
I make every excuse
And blame my fears
All these shadows come to rest
In my head
I can't see you
I can't hear the things you said
There is a secret place
You'll find a bloodstained fence
It's there the future speaks
Blood and dust have changed
All the colors in my mind
Black has made me see
But the truth has made me blind
To the fears
To the lies
They were here
All the time
In your sympathetic Sunday nights
I don't belong
'Til all the hate that lines the face
Of my enemy is gone
All the fears
All the lies
They were here
All the time
The mouth of New York City talks
Spitting dust from streets to sidewalks
Pictures soaked in gasoline
Twisting through the steel and concrete
The smoke has cleared but I can't breathe
The new day's a prison
For the souls who've lost hope
But I've been taught change
Comes to the one's who need it most
All the fears
All the lies
They were here
All the time
The mouth of New York City talks
Spitting dust from streets to sidewalks
Pictures soaked in gasoline
Twisting through the steel and concrete
The smoke has cleared but I can't breathe
The mouth of New York City talks
Spitting dust from streets to sidewalks
Pictures soaked in gasoline
Twisting through the steel and concrete
Twisting through the steel and concrete
Twisting through the steel and concrete
Is it any wonder why I'm scared?
If I was a little younger would I care?
Feeling like the walls are growing stronger
I don't know if this cage can hold me any longer
You never dreamed you'd have to live your life so guarded
'Cause they'll find a way to make you feel discarded
I'm not afraid of tomorrow
I'm only scared of myself
Feels like my insides are all on fire
And I'm looking through the eyes of someone else
I never thought they'd want me to go even faster
I never thought I took my foot off the gas
Everybody loves to be in on the pressure
But I know they're all waiting for the crash
You never dreamed you had to live your life so guarded
'Cause they'll find a way to make you feel discarded
Things have changed you've become of complication
You can't make it through another day's humiliation
I'm not afraid of tomorrow
I'm only scared of myself
Feels like my insides are all on fire
And I'm looking through the eyes of someone else
Someone, someone, someone else
(Someone else)
Someone, someone, someone else
(Someone else)
Someone, someone, someone else
(Someone else)
Is it any wonder why
The answer keeps me petrified?
Is it any wonder why I'm scared?
I'm not afraid of tomorrow
I'm only scared of myself
(Someone else)
Feels like my insides are all on fire
And I'm looking through the eyes of someone else
I'm not afraid of tomorrow
(It is any wonder why I'm scared)
I'm only scared of myself
(If I was a little younger would I care?)
Feels like my insides are on fire
(Feeling like the walls are growing stronger)
And I'm looking through the eyes of someone else
(It is any wonder why I'm scared)
Someone, someone, someone else
I can be as humble as the next guy
Or I can blink and make you crumble from the inside
I could be every nasty thing, you ever thought a man could be
Cuz they all fall down (down)
Cuz they all fall down (down)
I can make you see the beauty of a new sun
or I can be the source of your desperation
I could be every nasty think, you ever dreamt a man could be
Jaded, dated, i'm the type you hated
haunted, taunted, i'm what you've always wanted
yeah, yeah, i'm what you've always wanted
you can turn away like you don't even see me
Yea, you can smile like you got something I need
but every night you go home alone
and dream about being underneath me
Jaded, dated, i'm the type you hated
haunted, taunted, i'm what you've always wanted
yeah, yeah, i'm what you've always wanted
can't you see through this disguise
Find the little boy inside
I'm afraid of falling
Love is pain and now she's calling
and she's,
Jaded, dated, i'm the type you hated
haunted, taunted, i'm what you've always wanted
From the minute that I saw here she was different from the rest
But I didn't hear her talking, I was staring at her chest
And I wish I would have listened
'Cause I think I might have seen the signs
Now it's been a couple months and I can't take another word
She's been pushing every button, she's been working every nerve
I've got something she can swallow
But it sure as hell's not my pride
Yeah, I know it's just a waste of time
Soon I'm gonna run out of lies
She'll just have to hear the truth instead
Everyday I'm gonna make her cry
Till the minute that we say goodbye
I'm gonna make her wish, she was dead
I used to hang out with my homies gettin' stupid every night
Till I met her and she chained me up to keep me out of sight
I got to get away from her, I think I'm running out of time
'Cause I think I'm gonna die whenever she's behind the wheel
And it drives me up the wall when she asks me how I feel
I don't really want to talk so I tell her that I'm doing fine
There's got to be a way that I can get it through her head
Yeah, I know it's just a waste of time
Soon I'm gonna run out of lies
She'll just have to hear the truth instead
Everyday I'm gonna make her cry
Till the minute that we say goodbye
I'm gonna make her wish
I'm going crazy, she won't let go
The lease gets tighter every day
Already told her, she's Miss Right Now
But I wish she was Miss Yesterday
Yeah, I know it's just a waste of time
Soon I'm gonna run out of lies
She'll just have to hear the truth instead
Everyday I'm gonna make her cry
Till the minute that we say goodbye
I'm gonna make her wish
Yeah, I know it's just a waste of time
Soon I'm gonna run out of lies
She'll just have to hear the truth instead
Everyday I'm gonna make her cry
Till the minute that we say goodbye
She clings to me like cellophane
Fake plastic submarine
Slowly driving me insane
But now that's over
So what if the sex was great
Just a temporary escape
Another thing I grew to hate
But now that's over
Why you always kick me when I'm high
Knock me down till we see eye to eye
Figured her out I know she
May not be Miss Right, but she'll do right now
I used to hang on every word
Each lie was more absurd
Kept me so insecure
But now that's over
She taught me how to trust
And to believe in us
And then she taught me how to cuss ... that bitch!
It's over
You know, I used to be such a nice boy
Why do you always kick me when I'm high
Knock me down till we see eye to eye
Figured her out I know she
May not be Miss Right, but she'll do right now
She clings to me like cellophane
Fake plastic submarine
Slowly driving me insane
But now that's over
Why do you always kick me when I'm high
Knock me down till we see eye to eye
Figured her out I know she
May not be Miss Right, but she'll do right now
She'll do right now
Right now
I don't mean to piss you off with things I might say
But when I try to shut my mouth they come out anyway
When I speak my mind, that's when we connect
But that's not politically correct
Our heads are so filled with thought, we can't use our imagination
Like a sky so filled with stars, you can't find a constellation
And everyone's so sensitive to every bad vibration
We're so impressing while we're regressing
There's nothing I believe in more than my own insignificance
So why does everybody think that my words can make a difference
I just don't have time to think up every social consequence
I'll just keep on talking you keep applauding
I don't mean to piss you off with things I might say
But when I try to shut my mouth they come out anyway
If you spoke your mind you might feel more connected
Until you get politically corrected
You lean a little to the left or the right but
You can only see what's on your side.
Look a little like a deer in the headlights
A little blind a little hypnotized.
So you conform with the best of intention
Change comes from inside.
After all that's what this country was founded on
Do nothing different just fall in line.
What happened to make us so afraid
You couldn't make a Mel Brooks movie today
Last night I had a dream
It wasn't about anything
But it made me smile
It made me scream
We should take this slow
'Cause I can't let go
When it feels so good
To feel this low
I stumble and she sees all
Waiting for me to fall
Obsessing over her
But it's nothing personal
We should take this slow
'Cause I can't let go
When it feels so good
To feel this low
We'll take our time
Tell each other's lies
In a world so much brighter
If Paul were still alive
Take this slow
Till I lose control
And I'm falling down
Last night I had a dream
It wasn't about anything
I made you smile
The fastest man in the world, fast asleep at the wheel
Nobody wants to be alone, so how did I get, here
When I look at you, I see him staring through
Awake and a smile, cuz he's been inside of you
Is he all the things you, tried to change me into?
Is he everything to you?
[chorus]
Does he make you high, make you real?
Does he make you cry? Does he know the way you feel?
Love is all around you, your universe is full
But in my world, there is only you
I can still find the smell
On my clothes and skin
I can still see your face, when youre sleeping next to him
Is he all the things you, tried to change me into?
Tell me does he…
[chorus]
I've had enough of fears, you let them out
Now I wrap myself around you
Like a blanket full of doubt
the darkness burns
the sunlight stings
He's your everything
[chorus]
You make me high! You make me real!
You make me cry! Now you know the way I feel
Love is all around you, your universe is full
I drowned my girlfriend in her wishing well
I'm not afraid of afterlife hell
'Cause I live it everyday
I live it every day
I lit a fire on my neighbor's lawn
I didn't know to me they were were my pawns
'Cause I live it everyday
I live it every day
i know it's not considered right
The way I live my days and nights
i always thought I'd rather be considered lucky than good
I buy my pron off the internet
I get so much fucking junk mail...my only regret
'Cause I live it everyday
I live it every day
I know we don't think alike
Your always wrong I'm always right
Acting not so secretly
Love to see you whip it
Sure can treat you right
Give me just a minute
Of your time tonight
We both are here to have some fun
Let it Whip
I know you're into goovin'
Love your body language

To get closer to you
We both are here to have so fun

Love to be at your command
We are here to have some fun

Whip it baby, Whip it all night
It's just a trip
No no, child
Let it Whip
I just can't seem to concentrate today
It seems my mind is wandering away
And all the things swimming through my head
Fade away as I go back to bed.
And I close my eyes
And see how fast time flies
'Cause sunrise comes too soon.
I'm never out of bed before noon
Waking up too late seems too soon
And I could never be Neil Armstrong
I'd be the last man on the moon
I used to live in a world of black and white
Until my dreams turned day into night
And now I'm never out of bed before noon
Waking up too late seems too soon
I close my eyes
And wait for the surprise
In a place I know I belong
In my head I can do no wrong
I could never be Neil Armstrong
Make this moment last forever and a day
Watching you drive by
Not letting you drive away
Can you see me trying to wave you down tonight
'Cause I need to see you one more time
You'll always be there in my mind
In my dreams you can hide
And every night I'm gonna bring you back to life
They're in my mind
An angel bathed in light
Telling me everything's gonna be alright...
If I can fall asleep tonight
Lonely is the feeling I can't comprehend
So I'm skipping the last page to see how this will end
Have you ever felt so helpless
When the walls built to protect us
Suddenly are gone
And you hate everything that's breathing
The life you're used to cheating
Hello Hello
I bring you letters from the man you used to know
Give in let go
To the words that made you feel you weren't alone
Now it's funny how we find out
Time can solve the mystery but love is only temporary
Hello Hello
The smile on your face is just
For show
Inside you screaming let me go
Hello Hello
Loneliness doesn't make a sound
Till I heaad back underground
Hello Hello
I bring you letters from the man you used to know
Give in let go
To the images that made you feel at home
Now it's funny how we find out
How age can change a man
Confused but now I understand
Hello Hello
You're swimming faster than you know
But you can't fight the undertow
Hello Hello
Loneliness doesn't make a sound
Till I head back underground
Hello Hello
The smile on your face is just for show
Inside me you're screaming let me go
Hello Hello
You're swimming faster than you know
But you can't fight the undertow
Hello Hello
Everything you know, you wonder friend or foe
I'm the burning in your throat when you swallow
And then you spit me out, your stomach full of doubt
Now you're faking every word out of your mouth
And when you won't let go, It's all about control
Understand I?m born to lead you will follow
Now I don't wanna stay, and I'm running away
Don't you hear me when I say
Goodbye, so long, nice try, I'm gone
If you don't like being second
I don't like being wrong
I won't forget, the way you made me feel
I won't regret, running away from here
So I say goodbye again
So I say goodbye again
And now it's there to see, you've forgotten me
Ever since I was the prince among the thieves
So you hold me down, strip away my crown
Can't contain me knowing all the truth I've found
Always thinking small, helping me to fall
Now you're jealousy and hate consumes us all
I don't wanna stay and I'm running away
Don't you hear me when I say
Goodbye, so long, nice try, I'm gone
If you don't like being second
I don't like being wrong
I won't forget, the way you made me feel
I won't regret, running away from here
You think you see the world, but you see nothing
You think you see the world, but you see nothing
Time is only gonna make it worse in the end
So I say goodbye again
Don't hit me with your fears, I don't fit with your ideas
You missed what I'm about, I earned my way out
And in the end, I say goodbye again
I won't forget, the way you made me feel
I won't regret, running away from here
I won't forget, the way you made me feel
I won't regret, so I say goodbye again
Goodbye, so long, nice try, I'm gone
Goodbye, so long, nice try, I'm gone
Goodbye, so long, nice try, I'm gone
Once inside the door I check my face in the mirror,
As I look past this lonely minute
Was this the ride worth waiting for
I'm scared to death that now I've missed it
But she was not the only stone
Skipped across this gravel road leading down the path of loneliness
So I'll fly from this hate, pray my soul the lord will take me
To a place through time and indifference
I wanna know how do you feel
I wanna know if this was real
Then tell me what would you say
If you can make this pain go away
She plans her future looking bright ahead
Leaves me in the past.
I can't stand to hang out with my codependent friends
My patience fading fast
But every sign and every song is telling me I don't belong,
But it's O.K. to feel scared
'Cause one day soon I'll find myself and realize that no one else
Will make me feel stupid!
There's this old man down in Fell's Point,
Always hanging around
Telling me, "Son, the pendulum swings both ways
