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 can 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 Heartspark dollarsign |

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 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 |

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 you 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 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 |

Lonely and dreamin' of the west coast I don't wanna be your downtime I don't wanna 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 wanna be the bad guy I don't wanna do your sleepwalk dance anymore I just wanna see some palm trees I will try and shake away this disease We can live beside the ocean Leave the fire behind Swim out past the breakers Watch the world die We can live beside the ocean Leave the fire behind Swim out past the breakers Watch the world die I am still dreamin' of your face Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away I don't wanna be your good time I don't wanna be your fallback crutch anymore Walk right out into a brand new day Insane and risin' in my own weird way I don't wanna be the bad guy I don't wanna do your sleepwalk dance anymore I just wanna feel some sunshine I just wanna find some place to be alone Yeah watch the world die |

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 |

Raised on promises She couldn't help thinking 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 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 the balcony She could hear the cars roll by Out on four forty one like waves crashing on the beach And for one desperate moment there She crept back in her memory God, it's so painful when something that's so close Is still so far out of reach |

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 that it?s when you jam that I jet |

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 the summer time I knew more than twenty years ago Can't lay between 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 holidays 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 house In North Carolina and lay in the backyard Get drunk and let the leaves just bury me Bury me... I can't smile |

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=85 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 =46rom 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 remember when you seemed real shiny with the sweat of your
voice Shaky hands super loud 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 you 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 liked it when you were super loud I wonder if you're giving in, tell me why you're giving in |

A truer-blue love you will never know Run from 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 buy it if you need it in your life Don't you worry if it all runs out Don't worry 'cause 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 know a couple who are in love living in the best of times |

"Today, medical science recognizes
That some folks aren't helped by relaxing exercizes. In cases of difficult tension, And nervous apprehension, Doctors are now prescribing medicine. It makes those who fear they're about to quit Feel like they're ready to begin. Bidding their darkened spirits goodbye For the calming peace of a cloudless sky." |

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 |

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 |

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 Yeah, 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 don't want to go All I ever wanted to do Was to learn how to break This world in two Teach it all the tracks I wanted it to learn 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 real bad Was to play guitar In a rock and roll band Now I'm just losing my hair and learning how to smile * Repeat Say la de da de da de da |

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 they way we live When we are all alone In this house that we call home You will become my misery whip (I will say it again... like a misery whip) 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 for you I need you to hit me and make me Shake I need you to hurt me and make me Beg for more I need you to bend me and make me 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 make me Shake I need you to hurt me and make me Beg for more I need you to bend me and make me Break I need you to make me feel Like 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 You will become my misery whip You will become my friend |

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 out of my mind |

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... Someday |

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. |

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 |

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 the summer time I knew more than twenty years ago Can't lay between 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 holidays 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 house In North Carolina and lay in the backyard Get drunk and let the leaves just bury me Bury me... I can't smile |

Slide
by Everclear we were fading like the bottom of a bad dream we would heading south, looking for a good time faces look so pretty in the spotlight all blown out, & bathed inside a world of white sometimes I feel like I'm holding it together sometimes I feel like everything is fine sometimes I feel like I'm out of control I feel like I'm fallin, like my life is on a slide slide(x5) it was sunny on the streets down there by the water we would get hammered on the beach right down 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 faher I am elastic I am easy with the damage I am ecstatic I am hungry for the climb sometimes I feel like I'm fallin apart I feel like I am falling, like my life is a slide slide(x4) I know it's wrong, but I just cant seem to act my age I know it's wrong, but I just cant seem control my rage my heart is racing & I'm 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, & bathed inside a world of whight we were shinin like the good part of a bad time we were laughin, happy just to be along for the ride sometimes I feel like I am really lucky I have made it through, bruised & scared & half alive sometimes I feel like I am out of control I feel like I am fallin, like my life is on a slide slide yes I know it's wrong, but I just cant seem to act my age yes I know it's wrong, but I just cant seem control my rage my heart is racin & I'm losing my mind sometimes I feel like my life is on a slide |

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 |

Science Fiction / Everclear
(It's just like science fiction Who knows what the fuck they're talking about There's always one in every crowd) There is always one in every crowd You can hear the voices when you're alone They sound like middle-long, middle obxious 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 When I think I'm alone I watch the news on my girlfriend's tv It's like a bad B movie All sometimes I can't comprend all the stupid things that I see So don't let go, Can't believe your eyes Whatever they may show you Just makes you want to cry and you don't want to know That you need to remember that life is always getting better So don't let go There is always one in every crowd You see them when you think you're alone It all just seems like science fiction Nobody knows what they're talking about So don't let go, don't listen to the sounds of all those people you know Slowly falling apart and falling down now You need to remember Life is always getting better Life is always getting better Life is always getting better (For a while) |

Guess who just got back today?
Those wild-eyed boys that had been away Haven?t changed, haven?t much to say But man, I still think those cats are great 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 the chick that 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 night 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 want to know, forget her Friday night they?ll be dressed to kill Down at dino?s bar and grill The drink will flow and blood will spill If the boys want to fight, you?d better let them 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 The boys are back in town |

Morning, this morning the curtains are shut
I'd ring you in the morning but the phone's been cut Can you hear me, I've been calling all day Can you hear me The radio reporter said the line's all dead He told me that I oughta write a letter instead Can you hear me, I've been calling all day Can you hear me Yes I'd wish they'd fix the wires cause my baby won't know That I'm leaving in the morning and I'm ready to go Can you hear me Can you hear me at all Gotta get the operator, make a telephone call And if I write a letter it won't get there on time I'll only reach you baby on the telephone line Can you hear me, I've been calling all day Can you hear me My car's all ready and my bags are all packed I'm late already and I won't be back Can you hear me, I've been calling all day Can you hear me chorus 3x Can you hear me at all? |

Aurora borealis
The icy sky at night Our paddles break the water In a long and hurried flight From the white man and the fields of green And the homeland we've never seen They killed us in our tepee They cut our women down They might have left some babies Cryin' on the ground But the big guns and the wagon wheels come Yes, and the night falls on the setting sun They massacred the buffalo Kitty corner from the bank The taxis run across my feet And my eyes have turned to blanks In my little room at the top of the stairs With an Indian rug and a pipe to share I wish a was a trapper I would give thousand pelts To sleep with Pocahontas And to find out how she felt In the morning on the fields of green In the homeland we've never seen Yes and maybe Marlon Brando Will be there by the fire We'll sit and talk of Hollywood And the good things there for hire And the Astrodome and the first tepee Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me Pocahontas |

She was an American girl
Raised on promises She couldn't help thinking 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 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 the balcony She could hear the cars roll by Out on four forty one like waves crashing on the beach And for one desperate moment there She crept back in her memory God, it's so painful when something that's so close Is still so far out of reach Oh yeah, alright, Take it easy, baby Make it last all night She was an American girl |
