Back
When It All Goes Wrong Again
Yes, I think it's safe to say
I feel good about the place
That I've been made in the world today
I get all sticky inside
When I close my eyes
And I open up wide
I see pictures in the clouds
So obscene I gotta laugh out loud
I look back to find my way
Reminisce and laugh about the good old days
Yeah, when I saw my brother above me
I remember the words he said
When you dream you hit bottom
Chances are good you're gonna wake up dead
I'll be up on top when the sky falls down
And it all goes wrong again
Yeah, I will be sitting on top
When It All Goes Wrong Again
Yeah, I will be sitting on top
When It all goes wrong.
Yes I think it's safe to say
I feel good about the sins
That I inflict on my own skin
I pay money to cut and burn
Pictures like the lessons that I need to learn
I see faces on the ceiling
I see them move, I hear them singing
I lay back in here by myself
I think about the time that I've spent in hell
When I saw my brother below me
I remember the words he said
When you leave you wake up happy
Then you'll sleep right in your own warm bed
I'll be singing in the rain when the bad dreams com
And It All Goes Wrong Again
Woh, I will be singing in the rain
When It All Goes Wrong Again
Woh, Woh I will be singing in the rain
When It All Goes Wrong
Where are you gonna be
When it all comes down
What are you gonna do
When it all comes down
Where are you gonna be
When It all comes down
What are you gonna do
When it all comes down on you
I'll be sitting on top of the world
When It All Goes Wrong Again
I'll be sitting on top of the world
When It All Goes Wrong Again
I'll be sitting on top when the sky falls down
And It All Goes Wrong Again
Woh I will be sitting on top when it all goes wrong again
Woh, Woh I will be sitting on top when it all goes wrong again
Again and again
I will be sitting on top when it all goes wrong
Yeah, when it all goes wrong again
Aw, when it all goes wrong again
Oh, When it all goes wrong again
When it all goes wrong again
When it all goes wrong again
When it all goes wrong again
When it all goes wrong again
When it all goes wrong again
When it all goes wrong

Slide
We were fading
Like the bottom
of a bad dream
We were heading south
Looking for a good time
Faces look so pretty
In the spotlight
All blown out
And bathed inside a
world of white
Sometimes I feel like I am
holding it together
Sometimes I feel like
everything is fine
Something I feel
Like I'm out of control
I feel like I am falling...
...like my life is on a slide
Slide!
It was sunny on the streets
Down there by the water
She was slightly out of reach
A rich man's only daughter
I think she slept with me
Just so she could piss off
her father
I am elastic
I am easy with the damage
I am estatic
I am hungry for the climb
Sometimes I feel
Like I am falling apart...
I feel like I am falling...
...like my life is on a slide
Slide!
I know it's wrong but
I just can't seem to act my age
I know it's wrong but I just
can't seem
To control my rage
My heart is racing and
I am losing my mind
Sometimes I feel like my life is
on a slide
Those faces look so scary
In the harsh light
All blown out
And bathed inside a world
of white
We were shining
Like the good part of a
bad time
We were laughing, happy
Just to be along for the ride
Sometimes I feel like I am
really lucky
I have made it through
Bruised and scarred
And half alive
Sometimes I feel
Like I'm out of control
I feel like I am falling...
...like my life is on a slide
Slide!
Yes I know it's wrong but
I just can't seem to act my age
Yes I know it's wrong but I
just can't seem to control my rage
My hear is racing and
I am losing my mind
Sometimes I feel like my life is
on a slide

Baby Talk
This is a song about Spike
He is a bad ass guy
Who just happens to be
A really good friend of mine
Everyone I know...yeah
Who knows Spike too
Would agree when
I say the words
That Spike is cool
The problem with
my friend Spike
He has fallen into
a true love with a nice girl
Who has gotta lot of tattoos
He always talks crazy
Whenever she calls
He always talks like a baby
It's obvious now...
She has got him by the balls
She has got him by the balls...
She has got him by the balls
My weird little brother...James
And his ex-girlfriend
They would talk in those
ridiculous voices
We would all be hanging out
getting drunk in
the neighborhood
And they both would make
those ridiculous noises
He would always talk crazy
Whenever she calls
He always talks like a baby
It is obvious now
They have got him by the balls
I hate you
when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a
grown man
(they have got you by the balls)
I hate you
when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a
grown man
(they have got you by the balls)
I hate you
when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a
grown up man
(they have got you by the balls)
You will never see me...
walking that walk
You will never catch me...
talking that babytalk
(you know it's true...
they've got you by the balls)
Which brings me back to Spike
A good guy to have in a fight
Unless he was
With his girlfriend
Obnoxious on Saturday night
You know he couldn't care less
What anyone thinks
He does not give a damn
No, because he has no shame
He looks so happy
Just like everything is fine
He is oblivious to the fact
That he has no spine
He always talks crazy
(you have no shame)
Whenever she calls
(you have no shame)
He talks like a baby
(you have no shame)
It is obvious...
they have got him by the balls
I hate you
when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a
grown man
(they have got him by the balls)
I hate you
when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a
grown man
(they have got him by the balls)
You will never see me...
walking that walk
You will never catch me
....talking that babytalk
(you know it's true...
they've got you by the balls)
I am not going to let it
get to me
They've got you by the balls

Short Blonde Hair
Hey I think this is
getting to me...
First class living
In a goldfish bowl
Just when I think
I have driven my life
Where I wanted it to be
It takes me to a place
That I do not want to go
All I ever wanted to do
Was to learn how to break
This world in two
To teach it all the tricks
I wanted it to learn
To teach it how to do
What I want it to do
No one really understands
Just how simple and plain
And predictable I am
Because all I ever wanted to do
Was to play guitar
In a rock and roll band
Now I'm just losing my hair
and I'm
Learning how to smile
Like I just don't care
No, I just don't care
(I hear them
under their breath)
(what they say...when they
think that I can't hear them)
I see them point and
I see them stare
There goes that stupid guy
With the short blonde hair

Misery Whip
Walking wounded with a belly
full of pain
And a big bad attitude
We are shaking shadows for that
perfect dark room
Where we can do just what we
want to do
There is a place...
Where we can leave behind
All those simple minds
They would not like
the way we live
When we are all alone
In this house that we call home
You will become my
misery whip
(yes...I said like a misery whip)
Walking hungry with a pocket
full of promise
And a big black song
in my head
I know the answers to
my questions
They are purple black and blue
And they are waiting for me in my bed
There is a place...
Where we can leave behind
All those simple minds
They would not like

When we are all alone
In this house that we call home
You will become my

Stop!
I get no pleasure
When I'm going through
the motions
Of my mediocre day to day
I'm just an actor
Just like
Robert fucking Redford
When I say those stupid words
That they expect me to say
Yes we can leave behind
All those simple minds
They would not like the dirty
things we do
Yeah
When we are all alone
In this house that we
call home...
I will fall down like a bitch

I need you to hit me and
make me
Shake
I need you to hurt me and

Beg for more
I need you to bend me and

Break
I need you to make me feel like
I am your whore
I feel complete when
I feel sick inside
I need to feel like
I am real inside
I need to feel like
I am really alive
I need you to make me feel
I need you to hit me and

Shake
I need you to hurt me and

Out of My Depth
Out of my depth
Lost in the air
Falling faster
Like a broken elevator
Out of my depth
Lost in the dark
Waiting for the other shoe
To come down hard
I cannot communicate
Like I wish I could
I do not deal with my problems
Like I know I should
I am out of my depth
I am out of my league
Watching everything...just
Slip away from me
Something bad is
going to happen
I can feel it deep inside
There are shadows
all around me
Like a bad moon on the rise
I am in over my head
I am in too deep here
over my head
I guess I should keep my
opinions to myself
I guess I am out of my depth
Out of my depth
Right from the start
I feel like I was born
With an invisible heart
Out of my depth
Seems like everyday
I can't find the words
To make the good things
Come my way
I feel like I am faking it
I feel like I am wrong
I feel like I'm a guest
...like I just do not belong
I am out of my depth
Every single day
I just cannot find the words
To make my monsters go away
Something bad is
going to happen
I can feel it deep inside
There are shadows
all around me
Like a bad moon on the rise
I am in too deep here
over my head
I should seek
some professional help
Because I'm out of my depth
Yes, I'm out of my depth
And I am slowly going
out of my mind
Oh, go away
Make them go away
Someday I know
I will make them go away
Make them go away
Make them go away
Someday I know...I will make
my monsters go away
I am in over my head
I should seek
some professional help
I should keep my
opinions to myself
I guess I am out of my depth
I am out of my depth
Yes, I am slowly going

The Good Witch of the North
You pull me down
To the floor
Of our apartment
A little while later
We are laughing at our
carpet burns
I like the way that it
glows outside
As the room gets darker
How I wish we could stay
like this
While the rest of the
world turns
There has never been a time
When I didn't want to be
your boyfriend
There has never been a time
When I didn't want to know
your name
Free falling from a work
in progress
Free falling from a life on hold
There has never been a time
When I didn't want you
My good lover
Is my one good thing
these days
You help me keep it all
From slipping away
I swear I'm going to
Marry you
Someday (someday)
I am all alone
And it seems like
All I do is wait
We spend hours on the phone
But it's never the same
No, nothing good ever does
come easy
Nothing good ever comes
without a fight
I am all alone
And I wish I was home
With you tonight
Yes, my good lover
Is my one good thing
these days
You help me keep it all
From slipping away
I swear I'm going to
Marry you
Someday
My girlfriend is like
Magic in the hand
When I lose my sparkle
She's the one
that understands
I know I'm going to marry you
someday
I swear I'm going to marry you
someday
I swear I'm going to marry you...

And I am ready to break
I don't wanna be the guy
Who is always on the outside

good place
All fucked up

How I ever got to where I feel
Like I am dying on the inside

Overwhelming
It can come from out of nowhere,
hit you when you're safe and warm.
Take it easy, my star your time is gonna come,
your time is gonna come.
Yeah, you got those crazy blue eyes.
You got those crazy blues.
All those pretty smiles,
I can see them laughing at you.
Your time is gonna come, your time is gonna come.
I don't wanna be your punching bag,
your complacent little princess all tragic and sad.
I'm not gonna let you overwhelm me anymore.
Yeah, you say you got this bad thing, you say you've got it bad.
You have broken every heart of every friend you've ever had.
Yeah, the time is gonna come when all your friends just go away.
I wonder why you stick around, sometimes I wish you would leave.
You say you love me forever, then you spit on me.
Your time is gonna come,
I swear your time is gonna come.
I don't want to be your whipping boy.
Yes, your happy little loser, someone you can ignore.
I'm not gonna let you overwhelm me anymore.
I'm not gonna let you hurt me anymore.
I'm not gonna let you hit me anymore.
No, I will not let you kick me anymore.
I will not let you overwhelm me anymore.
It can come from out of nowhere.
I don't want to be your simple saving grace,
just another little victim with a happy face.
Someday, someday soon, somebody's gonna come,
I hope they do this to you.
I'm not gonna let you overwhelm me.
I will not let you hurt me anymore.
No, I will not let you hit me anymore.
I will not let you twist me anymore.
No, I will not let you turn me inside out.

Song From An American Movie Pt. 2
Sometimes I get to a point where
I don't give a damn about
anything...anymore
Sometimes I get to a point where
I feel numb and I just don't care
Sometimes I feel like I just
don't care
I sit in my car
and listen to the radio
I think about the past
and it seems so long ago
I know the pain
is slowly going to fade
This life is going to get better
(Things are going to be better)
I wait until
my ex-wife has gone away
I walk around the house
Getting lost inside the old day
I see a picture where
everybody's smiling...
I know...
I got to keep it on the inside
I want to get lost
from my life sometimes
Sit on the side
and watch the world go by
I want to get lost
and I don't know why
Sometimes I want to get lost
and I don't know why
(Sometimes I want to get lost
and dream for a while)
Waiting for my little girl
Waiting on the school bus
We're going to the movies
Yeah just the two of us
Sit inside the dark and dream
for awhile
Our life is going to get better
(Yeah it's going to be better)
I wake up weird
in the middle of the night
I walk the floor
until my mind gets right
I think about the past
and it makes me want to cry
I know...
I got to keep it on the inside
I want to get lost
from my life sometimes
Sit on the side
and watch the world go by
I want to get lost in the dark
and dream for awhile
Just sit inside a dark room
and dream for awhile
The only thing that ever makes
sense to me
Is the words to a song from
an American movie
The only thing that ever made
sense in my life
Is the sound of my
little girl laughing
Alive and happy in
the summertime
I am just like everyone I know
I am afraid of things that I
don't know
I am afraid of ever really
being alone
I want to find myself a brand
new heart
I want to find a girl
and make a brand new start
I want to find a girl and get lost
in the dark
The only thing that ever makes
sense to me
Is the words to a song from
an American movie
The only thing that ever made
sense in my life
Is the sound of my
little girl laughing
Through the window of a
summer night
I sit alone in the backyard
Wishing I could be inside
Just the sound of my
little girl laughing
Makes me happy just to be alive
Sometimes I am happy
just to be alive

Here We Go Again
You know I like to watch you sleep
No...I don't want to touch you
You'll get mad at me
No...I don't want to think about
the bad times
Aw...anyone could have a bad year
Now I don't want you to show me
I do not want you to know me
The way I used to be...
All these good things we have
Would not mean a damn to me
And I don't want to hear
those words
You feel fyou have to say
When you find out
How I used to be
Back in the day
Yeah you know I like
the way you slide
Yeah yes I like it when you do
that slow glide
Now please don't bad talk all those
good times
Aw don't ask for answer, baby
That you do not want to hear
Now I don't want you to make me
I do not need you to break me
Of all my childish ways
I'm still the same you know
Dumb rock hard
And good to go
I still hear them voices calling me
From back in the day
Aw baby...can't you see
There ain't no place
I'd rather be
Than watching dirty movies
In that happy room with you
Sleeping on a mattress
In the corner
Eating Chinese food
I hear that voice in my head say
Here we go again
Now here we go again
I know you like the way I rock
Sometimes I just need
to drown out
All that back talk
I could not care less what your
friends say
Someone's always talking shit
about the old days
You do not need to remind me
That I left it all behind
Those things I used to do
I don't want that other life 'cause
I am so in love with you
I can barely hear it calling me
From back in the day
Aw baby...can't you see
There ain't no place I'd rather be
Than watching dirty movies
In that happy room with you
Sleeping on a mattress
In the corner
Eating Chinese food
I hear that voice in my head say...
Here we go again
Yeah here we go again
Aw baby...here we go again
I know here we go
I know here we go
I know here we go
I know here we go
I know...I know...I know...
I know...I know...
Aw baby baby can't you see
I know you got some doubts
I know you don't believe
I know you think that I'm crazy
And I know you're just like me
When I hear that voice inside
It makes me want to jump right in
Saying
Here we go! (go!)
Here we go! (go!)
Here we go! (go!)
Here we go again...
Let's go watch some dirty movies
Yes in that nasty little room
Sit right on the mattress
While we eat that greasy
Chinese food
I hear that voice in my head say
Here we go again
Oooh...baby here we go again

A.M. Radio
The VCR and the DVD
There wasn't none of that crap back in 1970
We didn't know about a World Wide Web
It was a whole different game being played back when I was a kid
Wanna get down in a cool way
Picture yourself on a beautiful day
Big bell bottoms and groovy long hair
Just walkin' in style with a portable CD player
No, you would listen to the music on the AM radio
Yeah, you could hear the music on a AM radio
Flashback, '72
Another summer in the neighborhood
Hangin' out with nothing to do
Sometimes we'd go drivin' around
In my sister's Pinto
Cruisin' with the windows rolled down
We'd listen to the radio station
We were too damn poor to buy the eight track tapes
There wasn't any good time to want to be inside
My mama wanna watch that TV all goddamn night
I'd be in bed with the radio on
I would listen to it all night long
Just to hear my favorite song
You'd have to wait but you could hear it on the AM radio
Yeah, you could hear the music on a AM radio
I can still hear Mama say "Boy turn that radio down!"
SPOKEN: Aw, Mom.
Not that show again! I don't wanna watch that show!
Can't we watch Good Times or Chico and the Man or something cool?
Turn it off!
Things changed back in '75
We were all growing up on the in and the outside
We got in trouble with the police man
We got busted gettin' high in the back of my friend's van
I remember 1977
I started going to concerts and I saw the Led Zeppelin
I got a guitar on Christmas day
I dreamed that Jimmy Page would come from Santa Monica and teach me to play
Teach me to play...
There isn't any place that
I need to go
There isn't anything that I need to know
I did not learn from the radio
Yeah when things get stupid and I just don't know
Where to find my happy
I listen to my music on the AM radio
You can hear the music on a AM radio
You can hear the music on a AM radio
I like pop, I like soul, I like rock, but I never liked disco
I like pop, I like soul, I like rock, but I never liked disco
We like pop, we like soul, we like rock, but we never liked disco...
No I never liked disco...

I hear a song makes me think of a girl I used to know
I sing along when I hear it on the radio now
Hey now where did we go
Ooh yeah, days when the rains came
Way down in the hollow

Laughin' and a runnin', hey, hey, hey
Skippin' and a jumpin', yeah, yeah
In the misty morning fog
Oh baby and our hearts a thumpin'

Makin' love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you

Learning How To Smile
Five miles outside of Vegas when we broke down
Threw my keys inside the window and we never looked back
Got all drunk and sloppy on a Greyhound bus
We passed out, all them losers they were laughing at us
I will never let them break your heart
No I will never let them break me
We got lost in Phoenix, seemed like such a long time
Seven months of livin' swimming on those thin white lines
Did some time for sellin' acid to the wrong guy
Life just keeps on gettin' smaller and we never ask why
Why there is no perfect place, yes I know this is true
I'm just learning how to smile
That's not easy to do
I know there will come a day
When we can leave and just go runnin' away
We was broke outside of
Philly when the storms came
I was working in New Jersey, hitchin' rides in the rain
You was happy talkin' dirty at that phone sex place
Life just keeps on gettin' weirder for us every day
You say there is no perfect place, I say I know this is true
We are just learning how to smile
That's not easy to do
We both live for the day
When we can run away
Oh baby we can leave and run away
Yes we can leave this place and run away
We can leave it all behind like we do every time
Yes we both live for the day
When we can leave and just go runnin' away
No I will never let it break your heart
No I will never let it break me Five miles outside of Vegas, five years down the line
We got married in the desert and the sunshine
I can't handle how the hell it happens every day
When you smile and touch my face
You make it all just go away
Yes I know there ain't no finish line, I know this never ends
But I'm just learning how to fall, climb back up again
I know there is nothing perfect, I know there is nothing new
We are just learning how to live together, me and you
You know I live for the day
When you say "Baby let's just run away"
Oh baby we can leave and run away
Yes we can leave this place and run away
Baby we can leave and run away
We can leave this place and run away

The Honeymoon Song
You know I love you baby
And I know you love me too
But the fun that day
Didn't start until
We left on our honeymoon
Stepped off the plane into a warm sunny day
Then we got leid together
The sun shines down on a lonely town
Where the fish all smile 'cause they know us
Our wedding day was warm and sunny
Our friends and family came from out of town
We said I do, then ate some food
And smiled 'til the sun went down
We'll take the zodiac, the
Cadillac
Around the north shore and then we'll head back
The sea turtles come to greet us
So let's get loaded tonight
We'll drink on the flight
Back home, the honeymoon is over
You know I love you baby
And I know you love me too
But the fun that day
Didn't start until
We left on our honeymoon
We're on our honeymoon
We're on our honeymoon
The fun that day
Didn't start until
We left on our honeymoon

Now That It's Over
Yeah right! One, two, three, four Break down, shake for me
Nothing ever is the way you want it to be
Nothing even tastes right now that it's over
Break down, shake for me
Don't write words unless you want me to read them
Nothing really matters now that it's over
Maybe we can be friends
Now that we're older
We can have fun like we did in the early days
Now that it's over
Yeah right!
Break down, shake for me
Nothing ever seems the way it ought to be
Nothing ever seems right now that it's over
Yeah, now maybe we can be friends
Maybe we can be closer
We can have fun like we did in the old days
Now that it's over
Oh yeah... My bad dreams just don't seem the same
Baby without you
I wish you were willing to accept the blame
Yeah, for everything you do
My nightmares just don't scare me now
Baby without you, yeah yeah
I wish that I could find the words to tell
In the best way possible, you and your friends to go to hell
Yeah right!
Whoa, breakup time is never easy to do
Nothing ever ends the way you want it to
Nothing seems to make sense now that it's over
Yeah, now maybe we can be friends
Yeah, now that you're leaving
You can be nice to me
Maybe I'm dreaming
I am a lot better now than just okay
Maybe I am just wakin' up in my own way
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
My bad dreams just don't seem the same
Baby without you
I wish you were willing to accept the blame
Yeah, for all the shitty things you do
Nightmares just don't scare me now
Baby without you
I wish that I could find the words to tell
You to politely go fuck yourself
Yeah, now that it's over...

Thrift Store Chair
Baby go to bed and put out the light
We both know if we talk anymore
We're gonna end up in a great big fight
You can have your way again
Yeah, you believe what you wanna believe
You can walk all over me tomorrow
But tonight can we both just pretend to sleep
I think we're headed for a big fall
I think we're headed for a bad time
Ooh yeah you're gonna go downstairs
And sit in that chair you like
Gonna put a John Prine record on
I think we need to slow it down for a while
Yeah I wish we had never bought a king size bed
Yeah only damn thing that it's ever been good for
Plenty room for the real good sex
I lay in bed in the dark and all that I can see
Yeah, is the distance that grows between us
You seem so far from me
I think we're headed for a real big fall
Yes we're headed for a bad time
Yeah gonna go downstairs
Sit by myself all alone in the middle of the night
Gonna put a John Prine record on
Yes we need to slow it down for a while
Gonna go downstairs
Smoke cigarettes in a thrift store chair tonight
Gonna put a John Prine record on
Yeah we need to slow it down for a while
We need to slow it down for a while...

Otis Redding
Do you remember when we were hungry?
Do you remember when we were cold?
Do you remember when we were happy?
Do you remember? Do you remember?
Do you remember when we were lucky?
We were livin' the life almost every night
I would wrap you in my thin white arms
Sit and watch the stars glide
Yeah, do you remember when we were the losers?
Do you remember when we were the lame?
Do you remember when we were the lepers?
Do you remember? Do you remember?
Do you remember when we were strung out?
Eatin' top ramen, macaroni and cheese
We would get so lost in that basement room
Let the Otis Redding sing us to sleep
I wish I had one more life
I don't wanna be wasted
I don't wanna live inside this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be blind
I don't wanna be wasted
I don't wanna live inside this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be blind
I wish I could be like all my heroes
I wish I could be like all yours too
I wish I could sing like Otis Redding
I wish I could play this guitar in tune
Do you remember when we were hungry?
Do you remember when we were cold?
Do you remember when we were happy in a way
No one outside could ever know?
I wish I had one more life
How I wish I had one more life to live I don't wanna be wasted
I don't wanna live inside of this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna
I don't wanna be wasted
No, I don't wanna live inside of this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be blind
No, I don't want to be blind
No, I don't want to be blind

Unemployed Boyfriend
Hi, this is Peggy. Leave me a nice message or I'll kill ya.
Hey
Peggy, it's me. You are never going to believe what happened to me today. I'm sittin' at the unemployment office, waitin' on my loser of a caseworker, in one of those nasty chairs, when from out of nowhere, this total stranger walks right up to me, sits down, then leans over and says something like: This is gonna sound a little obsessive.
This is gonna sound a little obsessive
This is gonna sound a little bit strange
I have one thing to say
Before I turn and I walk away
This is gonna sound a little impulsive
This is gonna sound a little insane
I know you don't know me yet
But you and I, we will be together someday
Someday
I know, I know, I sound like I'm on drugs
Listen to me when I say
That ever since when I first saw you
Sittin' on your car outside
You asked for a cigarette
I couldn't stop starin' at your eyes
Ever since when I first saw you
Looking bored in that plastic chair
With the lights of the office around you
Those blond streaks, they look so pretty in your black hair
You look cool and alternative with that disaffected stare
Yeah you want people to think that you just don't care
Hey you can be with me
Yeah 'cause I just might be the one
Who will treat you like you're perfect
Who will always make you come
Hey you can be with me
Yes I will always let you win
I will never be like those other guys
I will never be your unemployed boyfriend
Can you believe he said that to me? To me, of all people! I can't even remember the last time a guy took me out on a date and actually paid for it!
This is gonna sound a little bit out there
This is gonna sound a little insane
I keep having the same dream
You will be the mother of my children someday
Someday
I heard you sleep with that obnoxious guy
I know he is in that famous band
You look so sad when you are with him
Yes I never see him reach to hold your hand
Yeah you can be with me
Yes I will treat you like a queen
I will go to all those chick flick movies
That I really don't want to see
Yeah you can be with me
No I will never let you down
I will never make out with your girlfriend
When I know you're not around
Yes you can be with me
Yeah I just might be the one
Who will treat you like you're special
I will always make you come
You can be with me
Yes I will always let you win
I will never be like those other guys
I will never be like those other guys
I will never be your unemployed boyfriend
Can you believe this? I mean, can this be for real?
No!
Then he takes my hand, writes down his number, and just walks away.
Whoa!
I mean, wow. But you know, the weird thing is, he's actually kind of cute, in a really intense way.
Kinda like Perry Farrell, you know. Intense, but sensitive. Anyway, I told my bitchy sister about it, and she just laughed at me. I told her I'm really excited about this! That I have a really good feeling about this guy! I told her, This could be the guy.' I'm like...

Wonderful
I close my eyes when I get too sad
I think thoughts that I know are bad
Close my eyes and I count to ten
I hope it's over when I open them
I want the things that I had before
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door
I wish I could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful again
I hope my mom and I hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad
I hear them scream, I hear them fight
Say bad words that make me wanna cry
Close my eyes when I go to bed
And I dream adventures* that will make me smile
I feel better when I hear them say
Everything will be wonderful someday
Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world's so big
I just don't understand how,
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
Tell me everything is wonderful now
na, na, na, na, na, na, nahhh (repeated)
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now
I go to school and I run & play
I tell the kids that it's all ok
I like to laugh so my friends won't know
When the bell rings I just don't wanna go home
Go to my room and I close my eyes
I make believe that I have a new life
I don't believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful someday
Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world is so big
I just don't understand how,
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
When you tell me everything is wonderful now
na, na, na, na, na, na, nahhh
na, na, na, na, na, na, nahhh
na, na, na, na, na, na, nahhh
na, na, na, na, na, na, nahhh
I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now.
I don't wanna hear you say
That I will understand someday
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna hear you say
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna meet your friends
And I don't wanna start over again
I just wanna my life to be the same, just like it used to be
Some days I hate everything
Some days I hate everything
Ever wanna live with me?
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now
na, na, na, na, na, na, nahhh
na, na, na, na, na, na, nahhh
na, na, na, na, na, na, nahhh
na, na, na, na, na, na, nahhh
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now
I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now

Annabella's Song
I see you roll your eyes
You know it makes me smile
You are like the sun to me
Bright as liquid fire
I feel so powerless
To hold you up above the world
You are quite a lot of trouble
Such a pretty little girl
Such a pretty little girl
You know I'm never home
I'm always miles and miles away
I feel I'm runnin' out of time
Say the things I need to say
Call you on the telephone
You will not talk to me
Yeah you just don't understand
You are my everything
Anna, Anna
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Anna, Anna, you are never alone
You are never alone
Anna, Anna
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Anna, Anna, you are never alone
You are never alone
I like to watch you play
When you don't know I'm there
See you in your sleep at night
Reach out and touch your hair
I wanna make this world
Be just how you want it to be
Yeah you just don't understand
You're my everything
Anna, Anna
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Anna, Anna, you are never alone
You are never alone

So Much For The Afterglow
This is a song about susan
This is a song about the girl next door
This is a song about the everyday occurrences
That make me feel like letting go
Yes I think we got a problem
So much for the afterglow
This is a song about susan
This is a song about the way things are
This is a song about the scary things
You see from the corner of your eyes
Don't you wonder why?
We never talk about the future
We never talk about the past anymore
We never ask ourselves the questions
To the answers that nobody
Even wants to know
I guess the honeymoon is over
So much for the afterglow
I remember we could talk about anything
I remember when we used to want to hangout
I remember we could talk about anything
I remember when we used to want to hangout
I remember we could talk about anything
I remember when we used to want to hangout
I remember when we used to want to hangout
I remember we could talk about anything
I remember I remember I remember
We never talk about the future
We never talk about the past anymore
We never ask ourselves the questions
To the answers that nobody needs to know
Oh well oh well oh well
So much for the afterglow
Oh well oh well oh well
So much for the afterglow
Oh well oh well oh well oh well
Yes I guess we need the drama
(So much for the afterglow)

Everything To Everyone
You put yourself in stupid places
Yes I think you know it's true
Situations where it's easy to look down on you
I think you like to be the victim
I think you like to be in pain
I think you make yourself a victim
Almost every single day
You do what you do
You say what you say
You try to be everything to everyone
You know all the right people
You play all the right games
You always try to be
Everything to everyone
Yeah you do it again
You always do it again
You say they taught you how to read and write
They taught you how to count
I say they taught you how to buy and sell
Your own body by the pound
I think you like to be their simple toy
I think you love to play the clown
I think you blind to the fact
That the hand you hold
Is the hand that holds you down
Chorus
Spin around and fall down
Do it again
You stumble and you fall
Yeah why don't you ever learn
Spin around and fall down
Do it again
You stumble and you fall
I wonder if you will ever learn
Why don't you ever learn
Come on now
Do that stupid dance for me
You do what they tell you to do
You say what they say
You try to be
Everything to everyone
You jump through the big hoop
You play all the right games
You try to be
Everything to everyone
Spin around and fall down
Do it again
You stumble and you fall
Yeah you do it again
Spin around and fall down
Do it again
You stumble and you fall...

Normal Like You
They said you called me maybe yesterday
I don't even have the strength
To pick up the phone
You wouldn't even know me
Since you went away
The prozac doesn't do it for me anymore
You ought to
Take your medication everyday
Be a good dog
Live life in a wonderful way
Tell me why
You want to be blind
I don't want to be
Normal like you
I know now
Everyday
I get closer
To the place inside where I can be normal too
I heard those stupid people
Talk about you again
I just have to laugh to keep from hurting bad
Their simple minds just cannot seem to understand
You are neurotic and depressed
It doesn't mean that you're sad
You walk around oblivious to everything
You wear that party dress and black mascara
Like you're queen for the day
Chorus
I will never be normal like you
You walk around oblivious to everyone
I see you walking slow and simple
Underneath the big black sun
Tell me why you want to be blind
I don't want to be
Normal like you
I know now
Everyday
I get closer
To the place inside
Where I can be complacent
I get closer
To the place inside
Where I can be sedated
I get closer
To the place inside
Where I can be normal too
Where I can be normal like you
Maybe normal like you
I can be normal like you

I Will Buy You A New Life
Here is the money that I owe you
So you can pay the bills
I will give you more
When I get paid again
I hate those people who love to tell you
Money is the root of all that kills
They have never been poor
They have never had the joy
Of a welfare christmas
I know we will never look back
You say you wake up crying
Yes and you don't know why
You get up and you go lay down
Inside my baby's room
I guess i'm doing ok
I moved in with the strangest guy
Can you believe
He actually thinks
That I am really alive
I will buy you a garden
Where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car
Perfect shiny and new
I will buy you that big house
Way up in the west hills
I will buy you a new life
Yes I will
I know all about that other guy
The handsome man with athletic thighs
I know about the times before
With that obsessive little rich boy
They might make you think you're happy
Yeah maybe for a minute or two
They can't make you laugh
No they can't make you feel
The way that I do
Chorus
I know we can never look back
Will you please let me stay the night
No one will ever know
Chorus
I will buy you a new life

Father of Mine
Father of mine
Tell me where have you been
You know I just closed my eyes
My whole world disappeared
Father of mine
Take me back to the day
When I was still your golden boy
Back before you went away
I remember blue skies
Walking the block
I loved it when you held me high
I loved to hear you talk
You would take me to the movie
You would take me to the beach
You would take me to a place inside
That is so hard to reach
Father of mine
Tell me where did you go
You had the world inside your hand
But you did not seem to know
Father of mine
Tell me what do you see
When you look back at your wasted life
And you don't see me
I was ten years old
Doing all that I could
It wasn't easy for me
To be a scared white boy
In a black neighborhood
Sometimes you would send me a birthday card
With a five dollar bill
I never understood you then
And I guess I never will
Daddy gave me a name
My dad he gave me a name
Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My dad he gave me a name
Father of mine
Tell me where have you been
I just closed my eyes
And the world disappeared
Father of mine
Tell me how do you sleep
With the children you abandoned
And the wife i saw you beat
I will never be safe
I will never be sane
I will always be weird inside
I will always be lame
Now i'm a grown man
With a child of my own
And i swear that i'm not going to let her know
All the pain i have known
Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My dad he gave me a name
Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My dad he gave me a name
Then he walked away

Amphetamine
She came out west
To find the sun
She lost her name
But found a new one
Amy goes to school all day
But at night in the neighborhood
They call her
Amphetamine
She is perfect in that fucked up way
That all the magazines
Seem to want to glorify these days
She looks like a teenage anthem
She looks like she used to be happy with
The girl inside
She looks so bored sometimes
She has that super pale skin
And those soft green eyes
She looks like she
Could have been happy
In a better life
She came out west
Just to break away clean
From her family and her friends
And a little girl's dream
All she wants to do every night
Is to sit beside my window
And listen to the sirens
She is perfect in that fucked up way
That all the magazines
Seem to want to glorify these days
She looks like a teenage anthem
And she looks like she should have been happy
In another life
In another life
She came out west
Just to break the spell
After three years
In a marriage from hell
Six months clean
Living sober and right
The doctors tell her
Everything will be alright
Yeah you just take your pill
And everything will be alright
She looks like a teenage anthem
She looks like a magazine girl
She looks like a teenage anthem
Like she used to be happy
In another world
She looks like a teenage anthem
She is happy with the girl inside
She looks like a teenage anthem
And looks like she could have been
Happy in another life
In another life
Happy in another life
Met her at a party
And i took her home
She is the saddest girl
That i have ever known
She wakes me up
In the middle of the night
Just to tell me
Everything will be alright
Amy smiles at me and tells me
Everything will be alright
I tell myself the same damn thing
Everyday
Everything will be alright

White Men In Black Suits
I am just a boy
Working in a record store
Yes i moved to san francisco
Just to see what i could be
I am a loser geek
Crazy with an evil streak
Yes
I do believe
There is a
Violent thing
Inside of me
She is just a girl
She is doing what she can
She dances topless
When she's not playing in her band
Such a pretty girl
Happy in an ugly place
Watching all the pretty people
Doing lots of ugly things
I think it's getting better for the two of us
Yes i think it's getting better
Almost everyday
I could give a damn for what those people say
All i want to do
Is lose myself in your room
All you want is just
A slowfuck in the afternoon
I still see those scary guys
When i am all alone at night
I kiss the ring you gave me
Then i swing with all my might
I think it's getting better for the two of us
I think it's getting easier for you and me to agree
That the white men in black suits
They are diminishing
Yes i think they are diminishing
Yes i think that they diminish you
And they diminish me
I think they are diminishing
You know sometimes i hear those people say...
Yeah she takes the bus
Over to the north side of the city
She goes to work
Stripping for the rich white men
All the words they give her
Make her feel so soft and pretty
She wears them
But they never ever seem to fit
Yes i think it's getting better for the two of us
Yes i think it's getting better in the worst way
I refuse to be afraid of almost anyone
Afraid of all the things they do
Or the words that they say
Let's live the way we want to live
And hope they go away
I really hope they go away
I really hope they find a nice place
I hope they find it somewhere
I hope they go away
I can still hear all those people say

Why do you want to be broken?
I know where you go
When you want to fall

I think you think i'm stupid
You don't think i understand
I see you and i see myself
When i was a younger man
When you were a child
You were happy and free
You were my reason to live
I would die when you smiled at me
I can still see you
I remember you painting
Sunflowers in your room
I know where you go
When you want to fall
Hey don't you want to be happy?
I know where you go
When you want to fall
Your useless friends
They tell me everything
Everything
I see you run around in circles
I see you digging your own hole
I see you fight the fights
You just can't win
I see you losing self control
What it does to me
Deep down inside
I hope you will never know
When you were a child
You were happy and free
You were my reason to live
I would die when you smiled at me
I can still see you
Painting flowers on the wall
I remember you happy
I remember it all

Why I Don't Believe In God
I heard the truth about you
And it really doesn't read at all
Like the whipping stick you raised me with
A scared woman in a private hell
Hushed voice like electric bells
Strange talk about edgar casey
And the long lame walk of the dark 70's
I heard the truth about you
Yeah you
Mama they woke me up
I was in an idiot sleep
I was just eight years old
Heard big words with a horrible sound
Why'd they have to call my school
Tell me my mother had a nervous breakdown
I wish i believed like you do
Yeah you
In the myth of a merciful god
In the myth of a heaven and hell
I hear the voices
You hear sometimes
Sometimes it gets so much
I feel like letting go
Sometimes it gets so hard
I feel like letting it go
Sometimes it gets so goddamn hard
I feel like letting all go
Letting it all go
I ran away and went looking for you
Back to culver city and the old neighborhood
Need to know if you were really gone
Need to know if you were gone for good
I ran through the projects at night
Hide in the dark from my friends in the light
Hide from my brother-in-law
Hide from the things he'd say
Said you weren't losing your mind
He said you just needed a rest
He said you would be coming home soon
Said the doctors there
Would know what's best
Said that maybe
I could go live with them for awhile
I know the truth about you
I know the truth
Mama they woke me up
I was just eight years old
Sometimes it gets so hard
I feel like letting it go
Sometimes it gets so hard
I feel like letting it all go
Letting it all go

Like A California King
I see you have made yourself
A brand new life
Such a cool blue star
With a bright new shine
I see you wear your checkered past
Just like a shining suit of gold
I know you think you look so special
I am told you have found yourself
A brand new time
Watch the world stand still
As the years go by
I know you think you are new and different
But it makes no sense to me
There is nothing new about you
Just another self-made man
There is nothing new that i can see
Enjoy it while you can
I know you think you look so special
What makes you think you are so special?
What makes you think you are unique?
I see you smile and i get angry
As i watch you go colossal
Like a california king
I hear you gave the world a brand new voice
Such a happy melody with a new wave whine
Yeah i see you hide behind your own noise
I think i've seen enough
I will find you in the crowded room
I will knock you off your feet
I will burn you just like teenage love
I will eat you just like meat
I will break you into pieces
Hold you up for all the world to see
What makes you think
You are better than me?
What makes you think you are better?
What makes you think you are complete?
What makes you think
You are the only one
Immune to falling down?
Why can't you see?
I see you fall and i get happy
I will watch you burn like fire
I will watch you burn
Like a california king
I will watch you burn
Like a california king

Hating You For Christmas
Thanks for the christmas card
I don't want to hear about your new job now
I don't want to hear about your new boyfriend
I don't want to hear about it all working out for you
No, i don't want to hear it now
I don't want to hear about your swinging new place
I don't want to hear how everyone thinks it's great
I just want to sit in our apartment and hate you
Yes, i will be hating you for christmas
You can have the christmas tree
Remember when we bought it at the store down the street?
Remember when i found that cheesy color wheel?
I don't want to think about the lights on your white skin
No, i don't want to think about it
I don't want to think about last year at your dad's
You said it was the best sex that we both ever had
I don't want to think about my face in your soft hair
I will be hating you for christmas...
I must be losing my mind
There's gotta be a better way to deal with the pain
There's gotta be a better way to deal with the hate
Wish that i could find some way to make you go away
Wish that i could have a drink and make you fade
I wish that i could have myself a drink and make you fade
I wish that i could have a drink and make you go away
Yeah make you go away
Wish that i could make you go away
I will be hatng you for christmas

Electra Made Me Blind
I shake the dust from this small town
I turn and follow the western
Wind down
I go and pack up my shiny things
And go, yeah just go
I'll find a new life in old l.a.
Yeah, stupid happy with everything
I pulled myself down so easily
I know, I know, I know
I met electra when living down
Saw her spinning around and around
I never knew much about her past
I knew enough that I didn't ask
living isn't a simple thing
I know
No one ever said it's supposed to be
I know
July she lied...
Living isn't a simple thing for me
I know ways to make it easier

Heroin Girl
I used to know a girl...
She had two pierced nipples
And a black tattoo
We'd drink that mexican beer
We'd live on mexican food
Yes, I wish I could go back
Yes, back in time
Esther used to be
The kind of girl that you would
Never leave
She'd do anything
To give me what I need for my disease
She'd do anything
I can hear them talking in the
Real world
But they don't understand that
I'm happy in hell
With my heroin girl
I am losing myself in a
White-trash hell
Lost inside a heroin girl
They found her out in the fields
About a mile from home
Her face was warm from the sun
But her body was cold
I heard the policeman say
Just another overdose
...just another overdose!
Esther used to be
The kind of lover you would
Never leave
She'd do anything to give me
What I need
For my disease
She would do anything

You Make Me Feel Like A Whore
I take your word like it was gospel
I'm so eager to please
Yeah I like it when
You talk to me
It feels so good inside your shadow
(It's the place I need to be)
Yeah I know I need to climb you
Like a tree
There is this place inside
Where all the good things die
Sometimes I feel like a whore
(Sometimes I feel like a whore)
I hate the way I am around you
(I'm so nervous and weird)
Sometimes I feel like I'm
Breathing underwater
You treat me like I am on fire
Like I'm something to eat
You make me hate what I see
When I see me
Yeah I dream of the day
When I learn how to make you pay
Someday I'll teach you to beg
Someday, someday
Yes I live for the day
When I can hear you say
You make me feel like a whore
Yes I dream of the time
When I can make you mine
(Maybe then I'll feel half alive, more
Alive, so alive)
There is this place inside
Where all the good things die
You make me feel like a whore

Santa Monica
I am still living with your ghost
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
I don't want to be your downtime
I don't want to be your stupid game
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to see some palm trees
Go and try to shake away this disease
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die
I am still dreaming of your face
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
I don't want to be your good time
I don't want to be your fall-back crutch anymore
I'll walk right out into a brand new day
Insane and rising in my own weird way
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to feel some sunshine
I just want to find some place to be alone
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
And watch the world die

Summerland
Let's just drive your car
We could drive all day
Let's just get the hell away from here
For I am sick again-
Just plain sick to death
Of the sound of my own voice
We could leave behind
Another wasted year
Just get some cheap red wine
And just go flying
We could do the things,
All the things you wanted to
No one cares about us anyway
I think I lost my smile
I think you lost yours too
We have lost the power to
Make each other laugh
Let's just leave this place
And go to summerland
Just a name on the map
Sounds like heaven to me
We could find a town-
Be just how we want to be
No one here really cares
About us anyway
We could find a place-
Make it what we want it to be
No one really gives a fuck
About us anyway
We could live-
Live just like we want to live
No one here really cares
About us anyway
We could be-
Everything we want to be
We could get lost in the fall
Glimmer sparkle and fade
The sparkle and fade
Fall glimmer sparkle and fade
Forget about our jobs at
The record store
Forget about all the losers
That we know
Forget about all the memories
That keep you down
Forget about them
We could lose them in the
Sparkle and fade
We could leave them behind
In the sparkle and fade
Yeah sparkle and fade
Fall glimmer sparkle and fade

Strawberry
Never been here, never coming back
Never want to think about the things
That happened today
Want to lay down on
The warm ground
I think I'm going to need
A little time to myself
Don't fall down now
You will never get up
Don't fall down now
I ask you for a slow ride
Going nowhere
You look like satan
You ask me if I want to get high
Couple of bags down in old town
You tie your arm and
Ask me if I wanted to drive
Don't fall down now
You will never get up
Don't fall down now
Last thing I recall
I was in the air
I woke up on the street
Crawling with my strawberry burns
Ten long years in a straight line
They fall like water
Yes, I guess I fucked up again
Don't fall down now
You will never get up
Don't fall down now

Heartspark Dollarsign
Time stops when the whispers blare
The voices drop hard,
But the eyes still stare
The world resolves into a
Death's head grin
Because I walk with pride
With a black girlfriend
My mom said not to bring her around
Cause she's black
My family would put her down
I'll break the white-trash
Ties that bind
Trade a love so pure for
A hate so blind
She said- she said
Forget the fact that I don't
Look like you
She said- she said
You're possessed with a power
Bigger than the pain
Time stops when we lie so close
In my room where we share
What no one knows
From the day that we start
Until the day that we end
I know I know I know now
We will never find a place
Where we could just fit in
Me and my black girlfriend
She said- she said
Fend for yourself- you're alone
She said- she said
You are possessed with a power
Bigger than the pain
A power bigger than the pain

The Twistinside
We have been sleeping
With the lights on
Just about every night
Because we are afraid what
The dark might bring
I know, I know it's just a childish fear
That grows and grows wild in the
Middle of me
I'm gonna get a new tattoo
Black and stretching around my arm
Like a life that is visable and real
I know, I know it's stupid
And immature
I just want to give shape to the face
That twists inside
Both you and me
Breathing fire-
Doesn't look good on a resume
Neither does anything else we do
We got to get ready for the real world
Yeah yeah we got to grow up
You know I like to die for awhile
Everyday in the afternoon
I like to let the arms of a bar
Wrap around me tight
I'm just going to sprawl
In the front booth
Big drink above my head
Cross eyes and smiling as
I watch the world
Go twisting by
I don't want to die with you,
Or live in the same dark room
I don't want to see your
Bloodshot eyes no more, no more
I just want to take this girl-
All curls and big brown eyes
Man I can't take the pain
Of wanting her, needing her
I know the secret of your soul
And I just don't want to know-
Yeah, man we got to grow up

Her Brand New Skin
She is everywhere I am
Yeah when I don't want her
To be there
I kinda want to leave in a hurry
She's walking on the city
Heavy in her monster boots
I hear her calling my name
I hide behind the people
That I want to be
I hear her calling my name
I can see the future when she
Tells me how it's going to be
She is perpetual kathy
All shake and happy in her
Brand new skin
She is perpetual kathy
She is always the same
She is everything that I'm not
Strong and happy with the sound
Of the rhythm inside
I do not want to be a broken record,
But I don't want to live in the shadow
Of a twelve-step
I hear her calling my name
Next thing you know
I think I'll want to be a better man
I hear her calling my name
Yeah, I used to be a devil
But they never seemed to give a damn
She is perpetual kathy
All shake and happy in her
Brand new skin
She is perpetual kathy
She is always the same
She is always the same

Ever since our baby died
You've been seen with another guy

Hey don't you want me?

Queen of the Air
There is a dream I used to have
My dream swallowed me whole
There is a bridge where I hate to go
That is where I first saw her
High on the bridge
I seen her red hair shining
There is a girl- I never knew
She was my aunt virginia
They said that she-
She just disappeared
They said I look just like her
High on the bridge I seen her
Dancing, waving to me there
She smiled and raised her head
Then she took to the air
There is a dream I can't escape
My memories come back to me
There is a hell I can't escape
My memories come back to me
I heard the truth about it
Pictures and headlines hidden away
I heard the truth about my real mom
Jumping from the bridge that day
Now I know why ever since
I was 3 years old
Been having the same nightmare
Now I know the truth about virginia
Why she took to the air

Pale Green Stars
Amanda is in love
With the sight of the moon
She's got pale green stars
In her room
Right above her bed
Put them on the ceiling
Leave on the light
When the sun goes down
Then the stars might shine
Shining in the dark
Skinny little girl in her room alone
She's got hell to spare
In her home
If you can call it a home
Doesn't want to be
Like anybody else
When no one is around
She talks to herself
I can hear her in the night
Hey - hey yeah
It's hard on a girl
When the blood won't come
When it ought to come
It's hard on a girl
When you try to walk around
On the shaky ground
Hey, hey
Daddy's going away
Scared little girl
Watching aladdin on tv
Amanda always cries
When you yell at me
Yeah - please don't yell at me
Climb up all those stairs
Close the door
Doesn't want to
Hear us fighting anymore
Yeah, better call it a day
Hey - hey yeah
It's hard on a young girl
She thinks it's all her fault
When it all goes wrong
It's hard on a grown man too
See my baby crying at the window
Calling out my name
Hey, hey
Daddy's going away
She's got pale green stars in her room

Chemical Smile
She lost her focus yesterday
She lost her focus in the sun
She sits and stares at it for hours
She says she likes to go outside
She gets hung up on the wind
She gets lost inside the happy noise
Sometimes I don't understand her
Sometimes I don't want to
Understand her
She says no no no no
She don't want no double life
She says I should know why
She seems happier at night
Her color tv and her chemical smile
I don't want to know the reason
I don't want to know the reason why
She says
Jesus owes her money
She says
That the angels are her friends
What in the hell does that mean?

My Sexual Life
People you know
Try to tell you things
Bad things that you don't
Want to know about
Tell you tomorrow what
You did today
Just remember, it's a small town
It's a real small town
She gets she's tired of
All the stupid boys
She can't wait until
They're done
She wants a man who can
Take his time
She wants someone
Who can make her come
Yeah, can you make me come
You always say you want a simple life
You and me both know that
You are a liar
You always say you want a simple life
Hearing you talk just makes me tired
Swim in the heavy water
Buried in the sand
Happy hearts fall from my
Shaky hands
I can't hide my sexual life
He always says he wants to
Find a special one
But you watch his head go
Spinning around
He really wants anyone
Who'll give it up
He seems to forget he's in
A small town
You always say
You never fuck around
You say this town
Is just plain full of liars
Yeah you always say
You never fuck around
Hey, hearing you talk
Just makes me tired
Swimming in the heavy water
Buried the sand
Happy hearts fall from
My stupid hands
I can't hide my sexual life

Your Genius Hands
I have seen your shake
And I know what it cost you
I have heard your words now
I am big on your noise
My eyes aren't big enough
Because I can't see your hands
I can't see what you hold
I am growing now
As I watch you fade
Now I know what you know
And I'll break the chains you have made
These chains you've made for me
I will pull you down
I know I'll fail in style
I long to touch your genius hands

Sick And Tired
I break every day
Stressed out in every kind of way
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired
All I need and crave
Is a loud life with the power to fade
I am living because I keep it all inside
Love won't work for me
I want women who are out of my reach
All I need for sure
Is a big love with the power to make more
I am living because I keep it all inside
I know I'm close to the fall
I know I'm dangerous
I'm afraid I'm going down
I blame my family,
Their damage is living in me
I am sick inside and tired of my life
All I need I swear
Is to go out with the power of a nightmare
I am living because I keep it all inside
I know I'm close to the fall
I know I'm dangerous
I know I'm not going down alone

The Laughing World
Right now
Day one
I fall hard
When I fall
I always fall on you face
First head down
Eyes closed
Arms out to break my fall
We fall down like a world of noise
We get lost inside the length of our own time
And the laughing world will never forget
That it's when you jam
That I jet
I see
I want
I reach
I fail to hold the things that I need
I turn to reach for you
I want to touch our life before it fades
Like a burning car in the sun
We flame for the all in plain view
And the laughing world will never forget

Fire Maple Song
Turn away from the pain you don't want
Turning down to avoid them when they call
Strange words I heard a long long time ago
I wish I could go back to a summer time
I knew more than twenty years ago
Can't lay beneath the sheets
We lie underneath the maple tree
Now I can't smile
Lying in the grass with the wind around us as we smile and talk
Listen to your grandma sing those country songs
She'd tell us how the maple turns to fire every four years
We'd sit in the grass all summer just to watch the autumn come around
I can't smile now
I live alone
And you're so far away
I call you once a year
Just around the holiday
I still see you in the night
Lying above me in the grass
I can't smile
Turn away from the pain you don't want
Turning down to avoid them when they call
I can't believe this letter that says you died
I think I'm gonna go back to the old house in north carolina
And lay in the backyard
Get drunk and let the leaves just bury me
Bury me
I can't smile

In a valley town
They fell into a teenage love she'd grow to hate
He's in prison now

He got her pregnant and she made it go away

From a girl I know
She used to live alone in philadelphia
She had to leave the state
For a choice she made
She says she feels just like a hostage in her home

You can close your eyes
You can fall and die
You can hope your laws will make it go away
You can close your eyes
But you can't make it go away

He said he left his wife
And he's not going back
Said she changed her mind
About a desire child
I asked him if he wants a placemat or a wife

Nervous And Weird
You know I want to be
The way you want me to
Big hearted and tall enough to cover you
I would break in half
If you said it
Loud splinter out of myself
Just like mercury
I think it's better now
Than how it used to be
You were lying in bed
And I would levitate
I think it's better here,
Than where we used to be
I wish I could go out into the oregon sun
To be alive in the day
I would smile at everyone
I remember you back in '83
You were dressing insane
You were my everything
You were so different
From all those other girls
A blind electra in drag
So cool and casually lame
I think I'm better now
Than how I used to be
Always nervous and weird,
Scared most of the time
I think it's better now
Than how it used to be
Always up in the night
Afraid to live in the day
Afraid of being afraid
Now I sit alone
When you're not around
I read aloud
Just to hear a friendly voice
I see you scary dolls
They always look at me
From the corner of my eyes
I see them shake their heads
You know I want to be
The way you me to
Big hearted and tall enough to cover you
I wish I could go out just to be alive in the day

I just go crazy
When she says no
Angel turns away
Pulls her dress back down,
Slowly washes her face
Takes the bus to her job downtown
She said,
I'm ok
Don't worry about me
Now she thinks for herself,
Hey what happened to me?
I told him that I thought it was over
Told him that I wanted to leave
He used to touch me so nice
When we first met
I never dreamed he would hit me
I never dreamed he would hold me down
She said,
Don't worry about me
I won't worry about you
I don't want to be friends
She said,
I'm ok
Just leave me alone

Sparkle
I remember when you seemed real shiny
With the sweat of your voice
Shaky hands super load and teenage mouth
We were all charmed and taken with your talk
Now I shudder when I hear the rhythm of your walk
Now I've got no place to go
I've got no place to go
I've got no one, nowhere, no one
I have given up on the sparkle that I saw in your eyes
I have sinned the sin of wanting more
The belly fire pulls the spirit from the corporate whore
I'm embarrassed by the plaid you wear
If I were you I'd hide behind that stupid bleach blonde hair
Now I've got no place to go
I've got no place to go
I've got no one, nowhere, no one
I have given up on the sparkle that I saw in you
Yeah that simple minded sparkle that I thought I saw
Yes I have wondered why you changed
I like it when you were super loud
I wonder if you're giving in
Tell me why you're giving in

Trust Fund
I know a couple who are in love living in the best of times
A truer love you will never know
Right next to a pain they'll never realize
Sheltered from it in a loving glow
Young and happy and oh-so politically correct
Just get it if you need it now
Just go buy it if you need it in your life
Don't you worry if it all runs out
Don't worry because it never will
I know a young girl living in the shadow of the kind of life
That she could never make
She takes it all and gives it back
In love to handsome artists in her native state
She is the angel of the loser and the disenchanted soul
Just get it if you need it now
Just buy it if it makes you happy
Don't you worry if it all runs out
Don't worry because it never will

I'd spend all my time wasted dull, damaged, and blind
1975

American Girl
Well she was an american girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, and if she had to die
Tryin' she had one little promise
She was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an american girl
It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin' in the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful
Something that's so close
And still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an american girl

The Boys Are Back In Town
Guess who just got back today
Those wild eyed boys who'd been away
Haven't changed, hadn't much to say
But man i still think those cats are crazy
They were asking if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
I told them you were living downtown
Driving all the old men crazy
The boys are back in town
You know that chick who
Used to dance a lot?
Every night she'd be on the floor
Shaking what she'd got
Man when i tell you she was cool
She was red hot
I mean she was steaming
That time over at johnny's place
Well this chick got up and she slapped johnny's face
Man we just fell about the place
If that chick don't wanna know forget her
The boys are back in town, spread the word around
Friday night they'll be
Dressed to kill
Down at dino's bar and grill
Drink will flow and blood will spill
If the boys wanna fight
You better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
It won't be long 'till summer comes
Now that the boys are here again

See her come around
Fall down, break & scatter everywhere...

Big lie wrapped inside her little glove...

Lame
Then they came on me
They dragged me from the bar
Still wet from sweat and beer
I bruise so prettily by men blinded by their fear
These men
Broke my back and made me lame
Then she said to me
I'd give you everything to make it like before
To make you love me like you used to
Make you love me more
She said to me
Your life is large but your mind is lame
I can't believe my eyes
When i see the truth and all the things i've done
And every place i'm queer
I never stay i run
I know now why i live in shame
Lame...
It's hard to sleep at night
I hardly ever sleep at night

Science Fiction
There is always one in every crowd
You can hear the voices when you�re alone
They sound like metal on metal
Obnoxious and loud
Don�t let go, don�t listen to the sound
Of those people you know
Slowly falling apart
And falling down now
Everything is falling down now (now, now, now)
When I think I�m alone I watch the news
On my girlfriend�s TV
It�s like a bad B-movie
Aw, sometimes I can�t comprehend all the stupid things that I see
So don�t let go
You can�t believe you�re eyes
Yeah with everything they show you
It just makes you wanna cry
And you don�t wanna know that you need to remember..
Life is always getting better
So don�t let go
There is always one in every crowd
Yeah you see them when you think you�re alone
It all just seems like science fiction
No one knows what they are talking about
So don�t let go,
Don�t listen to the sound
Of all those people you know
Slowly falling apart
And falling down now
You need to remember,
Life is always getting better (repeat 2 times)
Life is always getting better for a while.
