Talkin' to Mary, you know you don't have to shout.
She can hear what you're thinkin' like you were sayin' it right out loud. I'm sure she sees behind that dirty look. It was her that followed down every stupid turn that you took. One day she'll go, I told you so. One day she'll go, I told you so. Saw the one big problem you keep under your hat, And it's pretty unlikely that anybody else will be cool with that. You've got bus fare in your pocket and more money down in your sock. But she can't tell you how to contact her if you won't listen to her talk. One day she'll go, I told you so. One day she'll go, I told you so. It's no problem, I'll just keep quiet if it's easier for you, To make believe, then, that I don't love you as much as I do. One day she'll go, I told you so. One day she'll go, I told you so. I told you so, I told you so. |

Here come the sidewalk boss again Telling me how I can't cave in That I'm a study in black Need a pat on the back I looked up and smile A picture of dissatisfaction That he can only see as a junkie Though I might be straight as an arrow He's busy shaking hands with my monkey Busy shaking hands with my monkey Well I go in the car Straight to the bar Where my sweetie pours the beer For the millions of fans ignoring the bands He's in my ear Wants me to live in denial Says you've gotta settle for something Though it might not be really living Anything is better than nothing Anything is better than nothing No actor action man gonna move in to take my place I'll be pumping out the product Just a total waste Look at your hands unoccupied Look at the lengths you'll go to hide You're under the veil Pretending to fail Gotta whole lot of empty time left to go Now you've gotta fill it with something I know what you can do don't you know Anything is better than nothing No actor action man gonna move in to take my place I'll be pumping out the product Just a total waste I'm here with my cup Afraid to look up This is how I spend my time Lazin' around, head hangin' down Stuck inside my imagination Busy making something from nothing Pictures of hope and depression Anything is better than nothing Anything is better than nothing Anything is better than nothing Anything is better than nothing |

Wiped out and the city's lit
Another sick rock and roller Acting like a dick Needing cash Rooting through the trash That piles up in this place And fills up behind my empty face Full of things we are not to do You come over with all of your friends And all their opinions I don't want to know And I'm looking over my shoulder Booking away with nowhere to go I run down to the corner lot It's forty-five past two I almost forgot to show I got a date to make with Mr So and So After which I won't care when you all start to bitch And moan about being alone You come over with all of your friends And all their opinions I don't want to know And I'm looking over my shoulder Booking away with nowhere to go Why can't you just leave me alone You've already thrown All the sticks and stones You had to send my way Why can't you just leave it at that And spare us both the bother Cuz I just bounce back anway I got nothing that I want to do More than make another Sonic fuck you to play Whenever you make my life cliche So to fit in some little box With all the made up shit you say To keep confusion away You come over with all of your friends And all their opinions I don't want to know And I'm looking over my shoulder Booking away with nowhere to go You come over with all of your friends And all their opinions I don't want to know And I'm looking over my shoulder Booking away |

It's to reveal that fucked up cop
Amped up on prescription pills That brought my heart to a stop And i want to tell you there's a riot coming Like a drug in the water A punch in the stomach makes sons into daughters I met a girl on the square Who showed me how to kill my cares But once that's done, man, there's nothing to do Time's running backwards from me and you There's a riot coming Like a drug in the water A punch in the stomach makes sons into daughters My body's running but i don't see why it bothers Sat down in jail with this friend of mine Who'd never close both his eyes But one was shut all the time To cover the thing he was scared of While he watched with the other There was a riot coming Like a drug in the water A punch in the stomach makes sons into daughters There's a riot coming There's a riot coming There's a riot coming |

Here come your pride and joy,
The comic little drunk you call your boy, making everybody smile. Who takes your pretty plan, And then becomes a disappearing man, After a little while. I saw you with your makeup running down, Now what's that all about? You say you don't want anyone around, 'Cause you're all cleaned out. You toss the empty beer, Not really as composed as you appear, An icicle inside. Wearing clothes that clash, Wondering, is this treasure, is this trash? Still trying to decide. Now about five o'clock here comes your clown, With the foot he's throwing down. But all you say is you don't want anyone around, No, not right now. There ain't nothing to dream, You don't wanna think about it. I'm sorry you seem so stung, And I'm sorry you think you have to hold your tongue, When you're so pretty and smart. I'm seeing you caving in, Becoming afraid of all these men, That you've given your heart. I saw you with your makeup running down, Now what's that all about? You say you don't want anyone around, 'Cause youre all cleaned out. All cleaned out, All cleaned out. |

(papyeverte)You're a first timer, blaming everybody else
For the hard time you give yourself In the cold riddle where you find yourself not blocked By a door you locked But don't get backed into a corner Talking to yourself Come on back to me My pride tomorrow You feel hollow And you know it's because you are Well at least so far I think of you with hesitation I think of you too hard Come on back to me But don't make me sorry You're a first timer, blaming everybody else For the hard time you give yourself For the hard time you give yourself |

Go on parade and fade
Hit the scene in slow Spending all your time with some girl You'll never get to know Wound up tight Dressed all in white Some torment saint Blowing out to drift Leave you even if You live up in your head Scared of every little noise Someone's always breaking in accidentally Using nothing but their voice Shrill and small Echo down the hall Repeating pet names Seeing it in your eyes You're only passing by Go by Someone's in the way Pretty words and inside slurs All the things they have to say To perform the work that they've rehearsed It's a waste of time I put it behind me Once and for all And let the hype decline If the problem wasn't mine Go by |

Maybe Friday I can Get tickets for the dance And I'll take you Ooh ooh ooh ooh Won't you tell your dad get off my back? Tell him what we said 'bout ""paint it black"" Rock and roll is here to stay Come inside now it's ok And I'll shake you Ooh ooh ooh Won't you tell me what you're thinking of? Would you be an outlaw for my love? If it's so then let me know If it's no then I can go And I won't make you |

Georgia Georgia
It's been many miles Since I've seen your fallen smile Close up and personal Your arsenal of excuses You never told her When you walked out on the savannah shoulder With your veins all full of beer Thinking well at least now everything is clear But oh man What plan Suicide It's just not that much different from my own affair Always cussing and crying How about if you Tell me something new Tell me what will make you happy Oh you So deserve to be There were protests and contests Attitudes to cop I want it all to stop Three weeks ago you were all grace and charm And now I know it was just a false alarm Georgia Georgia I can't understand your sickness You have no forgiveness No attention left to pay The quiet way you leave And just forget it all Just takes my breath away How's that supposed to make me feel Yeah, well, how am I supposed to feel |

Come here alone, and they leave in twos,
Except for you and me, who just came to use. If you're all done like you said you'd be, What are you doing hanging out with me? Why dyou tell me stuff that's so plainly untrue? If you'll be straight with me, I'll be straighter with you. If you're all done like you said you'd be, What are you doing hanging out with me? I haven't wanted to do anything for a long time, But whatever you've got right now would probably suit me fine. If you're all done like you said you'd be, What are you doing hanging out with me? I haven't wanted to do anything for a long time, Whatever you're doing now would probably suit me fine. If you're all done like you said you'd be, What are you doing hanging out with me?

Pick me up in an hour or so
I don't really recommend it, no They'll probably just put you down I believe you I wanna be you I believe you I wanna be you I know you're not through with it yet It's a big decision You can't kick when you're down Got a feeling kind of like a cough Ain't nothing gonna shake it off Ain't nothing gonna shake it off Until you talk out loud I believe you I wanna be you I believe you I wanna be you I know you're not through with it yet It's a big decision You can't kick when you're down The chromium car reflects who you are taking you home I'm under you're spell can't you tell? don't you know? God, people wonder if you're sick Spilled out on the city slick Puffed up like a macho jerk Don't even try it it'll never work Why you wonder? what you wonder for me? Why you wonder? what you wonder for me? Why you want what I can not be you know I won't stay sober I believe you I wanna be you I believe you I wanna be you I know you're not through with it yet It's a big decision I know you're not through with it yet It's a big decision I know you're not through with it yet It's a big decision You can't kick when you're down |

Looking at all the rows
All these records look like big zeros Got your picture on the back of a forty-five A placeholder till you take up mine A placeholder till you take up mine I'm the person you'll never need The biggest loser on sixteenth street The invisible man with the see-through mind A placeholder till you take up mine A placeholder till you take up mine Break off of in someone's laughter You can tell right there He's still a square He likes the way that you look now Like an open book Just like my favourite song Some pretty words that didn't last that long Like a package sent priority overnight Placeholder come and take up mine Placeholder come and take up mine Placeholder come and take up mine Placeholder come and take up mine |

Ghost of your smile is always looking for New bodies to haunt And it's been here, it is up here He's hanging around and he'll float for a while Gradually gone It's pleasing and freezing While I wonder what it is you're after Keeping company with this disaster You looked all over town, got turned around To walk back through the mud The kind you had left behind you Everybody's the same in this long knowing game Where every new blood gets time to become resigned Now I wonder what it is you're after Keeping company with this disaster Why you never try to tame your master You just blow through the coals Blow through the coals Till everyone knows That your smile is just a ghost The ghost of your smile was seen on a body in the park It's old news, you see that it's no use You're waiting to start, waiting to light Wait until dark I told you man I told you While I wonder what it is you're after Keeping company with this disaster Why you never try to tame your master |

Stupid shit you displayed I took pictures in my head You an opening stare only Had a little dressy date Just didn't care You were all getting drunk instead Seen how things are hard Seen how things are hard I love you though Seen how things are hard Seen how things are hard Well don't you know Listening to what you thought was a dizzy height Freaked out and forgot you stay well away from trouble that you caused Using all your strength to keep the world at an arm's length And not get upset because something goes wrong Seen how things are hard Seen how things are hard I love you though Seen how things are hard Seen how things are hard Well don't you know I'm a crap reflection of you I cant make corrections for you You have to help me patch things up Seen how things are hard Seen how things are hard I love you though Seen how things are hard Seen how things are hard Well don't you know Seen how things are hard Seen how things are hard I love you though Seen how things are hard Seen how things are hard Well don't you know No |

Dragged down into lowercase
Trying to get your cops to talk right But they cant put the paper in your face You're just trying to walk by So now I got a new game baby No one's gonna recognize it Your broken english over their flat, tired remarks Still trying to bring some dead beauty back to life Isn't it pretty, yeah I'm gonna see my city dead I can do everything that your man does except for better Got no interest now in undressing your kids with cheap angst love letters You write your name in all of the places no one goes Some can't be satisfied until everybody knows Isn't it pretty, yeah I'm gonna see my city dead Isn't it pretty, yeah I'm gonna see my city dead (come on) Isn't it pretty, yeah I'm gonna see my city dead |

You're strong, you're stubborn now In an endless symbolic war Brave or bored, either/or Sometimes I ricochet from the past And at times a future I've already had before Champion or chore, either/or. I'll write the pages you rip out Back in their places again One day you'll know what you're talking about I can hardly imagine, but until then I'll be Filling in these blanks that you create Every time you win some petty score Posing as hardcore, oh yeah, either/or Look at the spin chief, battered and broken Clutching a plastic rose We're all in the downpour you carry around for Trashing a lifestyle you've never known It's a useful dream that makes Quite an entertaining show and not much more Up against and for, either/or |

Think I'm unkind
But people aren't the way you think they are They can't remember all the time What it was you wanted They paint you out in straight silhouette But don't you get the picture yet Why you getting all upset The worst parts almost over Three's such a crowd You ought to tell me what you tell yourself You ever gonna speak it aloud Do I have to guess like everyone else With an iron will to walk the walk And the glass drawn that can't be moved to talk Black eyes always watch the clock The worst parts almost over You let yourself be froze by death You think I'm mean 'cause I call you out You don't know what you're about The worst parts almost over now The worst parts almost over now Now now |

You got a choke chain
Made out of nightrain To keep your memory down In quicksand from the main man To gel everything out Always out on a joyride Lay it out from insides Always at a dead stall From sticking pins into miniature men Who can't feel it at all See you later See you later If I see you at all See you later See you later See you later If I see you at all See you later Walk through thick mud Looking for new blood Thinking I heard your name Cruel imagination is still giving me pain Just to find you with the Masterminder Of one of your little affairs Saying how he loves you now Let me show you how much I care See you later See you later If I see you at all See you later See you later If I see you at all See you later See you later If I see you at all See you later |

Well you shouldn't doctor yourself,
Well I pictured somebody else. Someone that looks like, What I look like. Would you say that the one of your dreams Got in you and ripped out the seams? That's what I'd say, That's what I'd say. He was a sucker for your double dose, Motherfucker turned white as a ghost. Don't you say "Hi," Don't you say "Hi." With a broken sink for a face, And a head that just takes up space. He's not half right, He's not half right. It's already half past, and it won't last. I was sticking up for my friend, When there's nothing much to defend. It's a lost fight, It's a lost fight. 'Cause when i talk to you on the phone Well, it's just like being alone. It's not half right, It's not half right. |
