Tijuana Crime Scene
Change of Venue
1. Bad Idea
Another bad idea
And I keep changing my mind
But I’ve been lucky this
year
I’ve gotten lucky this time
A million ways I guess
This would all work out best
Threw it out in time
You’re gonna figure it out
It’s not a choice
It’s not a problem
Will you ever say the word?
Trying to find a place to
live
Gotta get my own space
Move away from down town
Move away from this place
It’s not a choice
It’s not a problem
Will you ever say the word?
It’s not worth this much to
me
It’s not worth this much to
me
It’s not worth this much to
me
It’s not
It’s not a choice
It’s not a problem
Will you ever say the word?
2. Summer of ‘87
I might be better off
Without this in my life
This month’s been hard
enough
I’m thinking twice
About the amount of time we
spend
Always sitting by
I need to get up early
I got a lot on my mind
Get a pen I need to write
this down
I guess I could let this
slide
It’d be better next time
I gotta stay up all night
I have to figure this out
Get it done I’ll see you
downtown
I might be better off
Without this in my life
This month’s been hard
enough
I’m thinking twice
About the amount of time we
spend
Always sitting by
I need to get up early
I gotta a lot on my mind
Get a pen I need to write
this down
I told you
I knew I would forget
I let you down I guess
I told you
I knew I would forget
I let you down I guess
3. Head of mine
Oh this head of mine
Well it keeps messing me up
all the time
Oh these thoughts, thoughts
of mine
And all the pain they leave
behind
So I will try to swallow my
pride
Pretend that I don’t need
you by my side
Act like everything will be
all right
So why do I still feel so
bad tonight?
Now the emptiness I feel
I keep picturing myself,
this can’t be real
So I wait for the moment to
arrive
For you to act like I’m
really alive
Like a punch still trying to
breathe
All of this can’t be like it
seems
Whenever they ask I haven’t
a clue
I just know that I haven’t
seen you
But I figured it out
You left on a lie
I figured it out
You left on a lie
So I try to come by your
house
Even though I knew you’d be
out
So I would keep on writing
these songs
Somehow it helps me to get a
long
I know these head of mine
Well it keeps messing me up
all of the time
I know these thoughts,
thoughts of mine
And all the pain they leave
behind
4. Shoot the Lights Out
Caught you looking over my
shoulder
You’re the one who’s got my
eye
Got you thinking that/d feel
much better
Well I got yours and you got
mine
People like us we cant fall
down
Spend our time just spinning
around
I cant go on its been too
long
Move on move on move on
People like us try to figure
out
Sort through all our
thoughts and doubts
I cant go on its been too
long
Move on move on move on
One million ways I guess
I know I can’t complain
Well maybe this will work
out best
I lost it all it’s not my
time
People like us we can’t fall
down
Spend our time just spinning
around
I cant go on its been too
long
Move on move on move on
People like us try to figure
out
Sort through all our
thoughts and doubts
I cant go on its been too
long
Move on move on move on
I guess I’ll have to break
I think I’ll have to stay
away
I’m gonna shoot the light
out
I’m gonna shoot the light
out
People like us we can’t fall
down
Spend our time just spinning
around
I cant go on its been too
long
Move on move on move on
People like us try to figure
out
Sort through all our
thoughts and doubts
I cant go on its been too
long
Move on move on move on
5. Forever leaving
Burned all your pictures
Still saved the prints
Thought I’d feel better
I feel like shit
I fall to pieces without you
around
I spend all my time
Just trying to figure out
Maybe I should be sorry
Maybe it’s too late
It’s never too early
I’ll follow my faith fate
I shot the moon
When you shot me down
I spend all my time
Just trying to figure out
I finally thought about
That I’ve forever been
leaving
You wanna save the world
Nothings gonna change,
believe me
Little love is lost
The memories remain
Time takes its cost
I’m still the same
I left the room
You let me down
Spend all my time
Just trying to figure out
I finally thought about
I’ve forever been leaving
You wanna save the world
Nothings gonna change,
believe me
I just seem to spend
More and more time again
By myself
It’s just easier then
Trying to understand, myself
I finally thought about
I’ve forever been leaving
6. Assume Everything
Well you assume everything
about me
It’s just easier than
finding out what’s really true
Well write me off another
bad break
Well everything looks good
and neat but linked on me in a damn thing
Maybe I tried to force too
much
Out of fear I lost all touch
Well some things are better
left unsaid
And you assume all of your
false pretenses
Easier to act like I was
never here
Well leave it be in a bad
dream
The kind where you can(‘t?)
fall asleep but you don’t really see me
Maybe I tried to force too
much
Out of fear I lost all touch
Well some things are better
left unsaid
