Dance Hall Crashers

I don't know just where it
all goes, I', in debt up to my nose
Get credit now for 20 percent, buy a car, don't spend a cent
Take a ride, don't you like nice, you can look
good for a price
Go to London for a year, hope you can survive on a beer

I feel us sinking in credit quicksand
I feel us choking
Oh, we owe, we owe, we owe, we owe

I don't know who thought that I would do well with a
credit line
First it was a stereo, then a snowboard and a phone
Finally found a new guitar, put some money down on a car
Next gig aint for seventh weeks, holy hell I'm up a creek

I feel us sinking in credit quicksand
I feel us choking
Oh, we owe, we owe, we owe, we owe

I don't know where it all goes, guess it was the job I choose
Gone a week and late on rent, my landlord is always bent
You'd think I could save a dime, working alway, all the time
Wanna quit but I don't know, oh we owe, we owe, we owe,
we owe

I don't know where it all went, haven't got a single cent
Took my car away from me, now I'm riding RTD
Cut my card up yesterday, guess it's the price I pay
Got a new one in the mail - look at me settin sail

I feel us sinking in credit quicksand
I feel us choking
Oh, we owe, we owe, we owe, we owe

I heard you had a mind to sue
Why I don't know, I guess your lawyer will tell us so
You can have my bongos and that little plastic thing I put
my vitams in
You can have my amplifier, just make sure you're
grounded when you're plugging it in
I don't think you know just what you're getting into
You're spending lots of money to get nothin

So sue us, whatcha gonna do with us
Just sue us, whatcha gonna get
Well nothin, cause all of us are flat broke
Go ahead and try to do all you can do to sue

I don't know why you thought we would try
To clean up our mess - I guess you're suing so we
confess
Yeah, we left the dirty matress in the doorway but we
could not get it through
Yeah, two windows did get broken, but by the two
dealers who were looking for you
I don't think you just what you're getting into
You're spending lots of money to get nothin

So sue us, whatcha gonna do with us
Just sue us, whatcha gonna get
Well nothin, cause all of us are flat broke
Go ahead and try to do all you can do to sue

I heard you had a mind to sue
Is the rumor true? I guess it is - the joke's on you
You can have my 8 track player and the Stevie Wonder
record I just bought
I could probably dig up some old Shonen Knife, but it's
really all that I've got
I don't think you knowjust what you're getting into
You're spending lots of money to get nothin

So sue us, whatcha gonna do with us
Just sue us, whatcha gonna get
Well nothin, cause all of us are flat broke
Go ahead and try to do all you can do to sue

Four days left in the week
And already I looked ahead
I'm tired, so anxious
Dazed, confused, and seeing red

Sometimes the day seem so long
I wish my boss hadn't taken my bong
Sometimes the days seem long.. so long

I stare at the clock
It doesn't move, no not all
The work day is so long
Like a night of insomnia

Sometimes the day seem so long
I wish my boss hadn't taken my bong
Sometimes the days seem long.. so long

So I shut my eyes and fantasize
about anything that 'll come to mind
To more perverse the better
I shut my eyes and fantasize about all the
really horrendous things I could be doing
I shut my eyes and fantasize -
there better be more than this
is this a really bad joke
I could be out right now doing all the really
horrendous things I've been imagining
It couldn't possibly be so boring

Friday, only one more day
To endure this tendiousness
The clock won't move at all
So I wat and I wait

Sometimes the days seem so long
I wish my boss hadn't taken my bong
Sometimes the days seem long.. so long

So I shut my eyes and fantasize about
anything that 'll come to mind
The more perverse the better
I shut my eyes and fantasize
about all the horrendous things I could be doing
It couldn't possibly be so boring

If you don't know me
Please why don't you tell me
'Cause I don't wanna be with you no more
The stories that you tell
Please somebody else
I feel that something falling in your voice
I lived that battle to move past the shadow
That's why I won't woke you anymore
Something's gonna boom, dying tell me true
As I look into that spin of broken glass

Now you don't got a picture of me anymore
Now you don't got a picture of me anymore

If you don't know me
Please why don't you tell me
'Cause I don't wanna be with you no more
The stories that you tell
Please somebody else
I feel that something falling in your voice
If I got it buckled would you ran away and possible Again it would as aductive since again
Something's gonna boom, dying tell me true
As I look into that spin of broken glass

Now you don't got a picture of me anymore
Now you don't got a picture of me anymore

It began with a mistake,
I don't know what was at stake
I realized I was to blame, I just want things to be the same
I'll be the first to apologize and I know these things take time
I think of you and I see red even though you were alright in bed
It's not that we don't get along, it's just that you are always wrong
at least you could pretend that I was right in the end
Why won't you ever let this die, you can see how hard I've tried
Please don't hold this over my head,
lets's just say enough's been said

Enough is enough
I know I was to blame
I just want things to be the same
Shut the fuck up and make it right

Well its's been a long long time and I've realized my crime
I?ve tried hard to make amends
To avoid the bitter end
I wanna leave it up to you
But you never seem to come through
Why don't you finish what you start
before this whole thing falls apart
You know I'm beginning to think
that you drove me to drink
Not that I'm placing blame
but you're giving me a bad name
Why won't you ever let this die,
you can see how hard I've tried
I guess its time to say,
Fuck Off I'm gone after today

Enough is enough
I know I was to blame
I just want things to be the same
Shut the fuck up and make it right

I never thought this would be such a nightmare
get over your bad self, I don't... I don't really care
I don't... I don't really care

Enough is enough
I know I was to blame
I just want things to be the same
Shut the fuck up and make it right
Shut the fuck up and make it right

Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay

It's been 10 years since I left my home
And wandered off without you
Has it been that long?
It's really been that long
And in the back of my mind I still hear you
Calling to me, shouting to me, grabbing my attention

Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay

You say you feel trapped and do not see
An answer to the problem
I say you gotta get out
Just get up and get out
What are you afraid of?
Living, loving, hurting, crying..
It's one and all, defend your fate, your destiny can be what you make
it...

Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay

And you came to me with propostions
Like you really mean them
Well I've heard them before
So many times before
What are you afraid of?
Living, loving, hurting, crying..
It's one and all, defend your fate, your destiny can be what you make
it...

Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay

On a sinking ship I'd be the first one
To jump so that it would be done
I don't wanna think about what might be
I don't really wanna see
What I'm missing out on when you come back you'll find
I never really had a chance
It's not that I have anywhere to go
It's just that I already know

Waited too long
Now this is really wrong
Try to run - can't get away
Now it's just too late

It's getting late and I'm killing time
But I can't get you out of my mind
Something's wrong with me
Try to make it easy and find a way to lose
You by all the things I say
Want you to go away

When I close my eyes all I can see
Is the fire in front of me
I try to turn, don't wanna stay
But I can't seem to get away
>From the things that scare me most about you
All of what you say and do
Try not to squirm when I feel your touch
I just know that I care too much

Waited too long
Now this is really wrong
Try to run - can't get away
Now it's just too late

It's getting late and I'm killing time
But I can't get you out of my mind
Something's wrong with me
Try to make it easy and find a way to lose
You by all the things I say
Want you to go away

It's getting late and I'm killing time
But I can't get you out of my mind
Something's wrong with me
Try to make it easy and find a way to lose
You by all the things I say
Want you to go away

Nevermind the time when you were all alone and I
Picked you up like a dirty bit 'o honey
Licked you clean and found a house of wax for your to stay
You set fire to it on your second full day

Then I thought that we had reached an understanding
Wouldn't find coal at the bottom of the stocking
Instead you swung at my head and nearly knocked me dead
Thought about it while I say there thinking just bled

Pull the knife out of my back
Clean the blade and put it back
Pull the knife out of my back
Unless you're not quite done
Then go on and have more fun

I often think about the way that I will watch you die
It's kind of creepy but I'm looking forward to it
I'll probably try to linger over it for a little while
You will fall down on your own knife and I'll just smile

Pull the knife out of my back
Clean the blade and put it back
Pull the knife out of my back
Unless you're not quite done
Then go on and have more fun

Two can play is really all that I have left to say
Your edge is getting dull it's nearing time to sharpen
Get a mirror so that you can see what's gonna be
Afraid it's gonna like like untimely death to me

Pull the knife out of my back
Clean the blade and put it back
Pull the knife out of my back
Unless you're not quite done
Then go on and have more fun

On a normal day I'd treat you like I did today
I don't know why I need the pain
On a normal day I'd stop it all and tell you why
I pulled the plug, threw it away
If only it would get better I'd smile as if I felt it
Although if it ever got better...

I might go throw it all away
The way you always do
I might just bury you alive
And go do something new

If I've asked before then turn around and shut the door
The answer I don't wanna know
If I've asked before, then tell me to go home
I think it's probably time that I should go
If only it would get better I'd smile as if I felt it
Although if it ever got better...

I might go throw it all away
The way you always do
I might just bury you alive
And go do something new

It doesn't matter if you tell the truth
It doesn't seem to pay off when it comes the time
It doesn't matter if you're clean or if your soul is black
They believe that you are kind
If only it would get better I'd smile as if I felt it
Although if it ever got better...

I might go throw it all away
The way you always do
I might just bury you alive
And go do something new

They said you led your life with a well mannered state of mind
They said that you dept your eyes forward
and your feet were help by no bind
They said you were good for me, but I just
can't see how they were ever right
I guess they didn't know you half as well as they must've thought
I guess your friends are just as fooled as you
and you talk and talk but you ain't doing nothing
You said that in all the world
There were only two things you despised
The first was a coward and the second one was a liar
You said honesty was your policy, but that itself is a lie
Forgot to add hypocrite to your little list of
how to run your life
I guess your friends are just as fooled as you
and you talk and talk but you ain't doing nothing
Well I say I lead my life with a well mannered state of mind
I say I like to keep moving forward and be held by no binds
You may call me ambitious, but I don't see
how there's any other way to be
Cause a day is a lifetime if you'll only sweep your problems away
I guess your friends are just as fooled as you
and you talk and talk but you ain't doing nothing

It's never gonna work out
Quite the way that they planned
Their little greasy games
They'll drop you just as soon as they can pick you up
It might be fun for a while
What happens tomorrow?

I don't wanna be no queen for a day
Oh, I got what you want and I may just walk away
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
I just gotta get away

Wonder why they think about
What they can get from me
I guess I'll let 'em believe
Whatever it is they wanna see
I know it's sick
I hope it's only paranoia

I don't wanna be no queen for a day
Oh, I got what you want and I may just walk away
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
I just gotta get away

Admit it's not all bad
It's almost like a real cheap high
'Til you get knocked on your ass
Thinking you can fly
Suppose it's something that you
Learn before you die

I don't wanna be no queen for a day
Oh, I got what you want and I may just walk away
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
I just gotta get away

I can't seem to remember if you were kinder
Did you even care about my piece of mind
I find that in the end, you're just a big old..
I can't seem to recall why you keep on laughing
At your stupid jokes, they're a waste of your time
Cause I find that in the end, you're just a big old bore
And I never wanted more than just a little fun

I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
And I don't wanna live up to your standards

I can't seem to believe how your little obsession
Has you by the throat and has you running blind
I find that in the end you're just a big old..
I can't seem to believe how you keep on clutching
With all your might to your nickels and dimes
I find that in the end you're just a big old bore
And I never wanted more than just a little fun

I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
And I don't wanna live up to your standards

I'd always thought that we had the same goals
But now I know what you're after
You'll do anything to get what you want
And there's nothing that I wouldn't put past you
It's pathetic to see how uptight you can be
When things don't all go your way

I can't seem to remember when you first began to start this shit
And tried to mess with my mind
I find that in the end you're just a big old..
I can't seem to recall why years have gone by and you're still the same
You stay trailing behind and I find that in the end
You know you're a big old bore
Who wished that she'd had more than just a little fun

I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
And I don't wanna live up to your standards

Why are you listening to all the things they tell you everyday?
Why are you listening, what happened to your own mind anyway?
Why are you listening to their advice on what to watch and do?
Why are you listening, has your mind been overrun - what do I do?

I don't know how they pulled you fast and buried all the trace of the
past
I don't know how you left so fast - I really hope that this won't last.

Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley listen to me.

What are you doing? It's been so long, I never even see you
Whar are you doing? You're a different girl but I don't know who
What are you doing? Fall asleep and disappear for days
What are you doing? Come back flying in a total haze

I don't know how they pulled you fast and buried all the trace of the
past
I don't know how you left so fast - I really hope that this won't last.

Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley listen to me

What are you thinking? I suspect you're losing it for good
What are you thinking? Promise I would save you if I could
What are you thinking? I probably don't even wanna know
What are you thinking? Please just say goodbye before you go

I don't know how they pulled you fast and buried all the trace of the
past
I don't know how you left so fast - I really hope that this won't last.

Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley listen to me

Santa kissed me under the mistletoe
tasted like egg nog and it was gross
said he was lonely and it had been a while
the elves run frantic when they see that look in his eyes
he sat me down and went on and on
wouldn't shut up about how Mrs. Claus had gone
he said the plumber must've done something right
he fixed her pipes and she paid him back all through the night...

fa la la la la la ( X 4 )

Santa kissed me under the mistletoe
i guess i'm wondering how far this would go
we talked and drank until it was light
then the bartender kicked us out 'cause we got into a fight
but i kept thinking of the swag for free
besides the old geezer needs some company
well i've been broke this year
it wouldn't be so bad
i hate to admit it, but he's the best i've ever had....

fa la la la la la ( X 4 )

Santa kissed me and i kissed him back
but i did it for the toys
figured i could get something more
than i did from other boys
Santa kissed me and i kissed him back
but i did it for the toys
smiled at me and wanted to see if i would

but he's a pervert you can tell by his smile
or check the NAMBLA membership locked in his files
that big red suit and jolly face is a disguise
he only took it for the joys of little kids bouncing on his thighs
he drives me crazy now, he calls me all the time
i'm gonna dump him as soon as i get what's mine
guess i should really reveal my family ties
he won't get a clue so i hit him with a matzo ball
right between the eyes...

fa la la la la la ( X 4 )

santa kissed me and i kissed him back
but i did it for the toys
figured i could get something more
than i did from other boys
santa kissed me and i kissed him back
but i did it for the toys
smiled at me and wanted to see if i would ( X 2 )

what a loser!

Jot down the words you wanna say,
Make sure they don't conflict with mine in anyway.
Make them sound good,
Remember the laws that apply,
I gave you a buck it's my right to decide.

Pretend your life is squeaky clean,
Pure as the virgin you think your daughter is
She laughs in your face
As you bring your speech to a close
But she's doing it under your nose.

I don't care who you wanna pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
Just stick with your own life.

You used to wear your pretty clothes
Now that the scruff is in,you're left what you used to know
But here come your rules
The fashion police are in
And suddenly your politics are changing again

Idolize and criticize
Push them in the right direction to paradise
Praise them with guilt
Distinguish the weak from the strong
But knowing that we end up the same in the long run

I don't care who you wanna pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
Just stick to your own life

Like to believe there's something more out there
Like to believe that i'm not the only one
Who looks around and feels overcome
So much to do, too many choices
Which one will be the road that becomes my own
Should I act or should I take it slow

Cause when the nagging feeling takes hold
I have to leave it alone
Well i'm anxious and restless
I guess that's what it's like to be young
Well i'm anxious and restless
I guess that's what it's like to be young

Sweet little girl dreamed of the day when
She'd stand up tall and tell the whole world her plan
Her voice will shine as she takes command
Now she'll be heard, she's got the forum
It has arrived, this moment is here for her
But she finds it doesn't matter

Well she's got nothing to say now that this day has come
Well i'm speechless and tongue tied
I guess that's what it's like to be young
Well i'm speechless and tongue tied
I guess that's what it's like to be young

Living day by day
Gets harder to face
When all the questions
Drive you insane
Pick one up, throw it into the sky
I want to feel free and have fun
Cause that's what it really means to be young

I bring it on and drive myself crazy
I want it all and then I want no one's help
I need to make it by myself
And if I achieve what I think I wanted
Will I recieve a medal of hapiness
Will it make my confusion less

Cause when the nagging feeling takes hold
I have to leave it alone
Well i'm anxious and restless
I guess that's what it's like to be young
Well i'm anxious and restless
I guess that's what it's like to be young

Stopped taking pictures long ago
Will probably be there tomorrow
I guess Im having fun, I dont know
Its hard to tell anymore
Dont panic from the static in the air its not there;
Its just a subtle form of insanity
Nobody ever want us that our heads had start to rot
As we see everything with meaning

Cant stand, no more, its never ending.
Cant stand, anymore, lets go do it over again (repeat)

Late night TV is such a bore
Feels like Ive seen this all before
Dont know if I can take anymore
I think my mind is going
Nothings funny but my smiles glued on
I dont bother taking it off at night
Nobody ever want me, then my head will start to rot,
Wheres a poltergeist when you need it?

Cant stand, no more, its never ending.
Cant stand, anymore, lets go do it over again (repeat)
(Repeat)

Im gonna go lay down in front of the tyres
Please go and get some chicken wire
Tie me up in case I change my mind
Trust me youll join me in time
As much as you think that Im being too dramatic,
Youll be the only one here in static
You know Im joking but then again at least it couldnt
Happen all over again

Cant stand, no more, its never ending
Cant stand, anymore, lets go do it over again (repeat)

Love you, mean it, but its never ending
Love you, may mean it, lets go do it over again (repeat)

Tell me about what you think today
What are you doing
What do you want to say
Tell me about what's been going on
Where have you been - thought you were gone
Tell me what you can't tell me about
I wont listen but i'll tell them all anyhow
Tell me what you really want to say
I don't care - I'll ask anyway

What do you think about what they all did
Say something bad
What do you really want to admit
You can tell me I wont say a word
Trust me - I wont tell the world
Won't tell them what you did last night
Won't tell them why you started that really big fight
Or why you ran out that time
It's none of my business, but i'm gonna make it mine

You keep talking
And i'll keep listening
But really it's the same - it's the same old story

Tell me about how it all went wrong
Who do you blame
Who from your world is gone
You know i've been through it too
It's off the record I promise you
So tell me all of the private things
What don't I know
Tell me who gave you that ring
What about your private line
Won't give it out - at least not this time

You keep talking
And i'll keep listening
But really it's the same - it's the same old story

I don't care what you want me to say
You're gonna write
What you want to anyway
Why are you wasting time on me
Just write what you want me to be
Cause don't care what you want me to say
It's the same old story
Who's gonna care anyway
Promise me you wont ask about
Being a girl in the rock world

I'd really rather be alone
I'd really rather be on my own
What part of no don't you understand
Won't you just let go of my hand
Maybe it's just time you knew the truth

Don't think I'm coming off as rude
I really like the solitude
My company suits me just fine
In face I think it's quite divine
Maybe it's just time you knew the truth

Hey-I love to hear myself talk
I'm my own favorite audience
Cause I'm the funniest person I know
If you were me I'm sure you'd agree

I know you claim I'm being vague
But i'm afraid it's not that way
You can come over - don't stay long
Call me next week cause I'll be gone
Maybe it's just time you knew the truth

Hey-I love to hear myself talk
I'm my own favorite audience
Cause I'm the funniest person I know
If you were me I'm sure you'd agree

I'm building up my barricade
I'd rather if you don't invade
I'm sick of all this obligation
Do you really need more explanation
Maybe this time you will finally see that

Hey-I love to hear myself talk
I'm my own favorite audience
Cause I'm the funniest person I know
If you were me I'm sure you'd agree
