Brawling scratches mean a bad hair day
Go on and press your face All up against the glass Watch and wonder as the pretty things spin and burn Swing and missing all Almost every time Yeah, almost every time Brawling scratches mean a bad hair day Go on and press your face All up against the glass Watch and wonder as the pretty things spin and burn Swing and missing all Almost every time I'm not alive, 1975 I'd spend my time wasted, dull, damaged, and blind I'm not alive, 1975 Yeah, 1975 I see scratches and the idiot kids I watched them getting high Out in the cold blue sky Watch and wonder as the asphalt babies burned Dancing in the flame, laughing all of the while I'm not alive, 1975 I'd spend my time wasted, dull, damaged, and blind I'm not alive, 1975 Watch and wonder as they fade away... Dull, damaged, and blind... Sounds a lot like me Dull, damaged, and blind... Sounds a lot like me Dull, damaged, and blind... Yeah, almost all of the time Dull, damaged, and blind... Whoa, 1975 I 'm not alive, 1975 I was not alive, 1975 I'd spend all my time wasted dull, damaged, and blind 1975 Watch and wonder as they fade away... |

The VCR and DVD
We had none of that crap back in 1970 We didn't know about the World Wide Web It was a whole different game being played Back when I was a kid You wanna get down in a cool way? Picture yourself on a beautiful day With the big bell bottoms and groovy long hair Justa walking 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 the AM radio Flashback to '72 Another summer in the neighborhood Hanging out with nothing to do Sometimes we'd go driving around In my sister's Pinto Cruising with the windows rolled down We'd listen to the radio station We were too damn poor to buy The 8 track tapes There wasn't any good time To want to be inside My mom would want to watch that TV All god damn 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 the AM radio I can still hear mama say, "Boy, turn that radio down!" 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 getting 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 to Santa Monica And teach me to play! There isn't any other place That I need to go There isn't anything I need to know That 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 the music from the AM radio You could hear the music on the AM radio You could hear the music on the AM radio I like pop, I like soul I like rock but I never liked disco(x2) We like pop, we like soul We like to rock but we never liked disco I never liked disco No I never like disco |

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 |

"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." |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 No 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 give a damn to me And I don't want to hear those words You feel you 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 answers, baby That you do now 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's ain't no place I'd rather be **Then watching dirty movies In that happy room with you Sleeping on a mattress in the corner Eating Chinese food I hear that voices 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 *Repeat **Repeat 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, 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 Im 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 |

Five miles outside of Vegas
When we broke down Threw my keys inside that window And we never looked back We got all drunk and sloppy On a Greyhound bus We passed all them losers They were laughing at us *I will never let them break your heart I will never let them break me We got lost in Phoenix Seemed like such a long time Seven months of living sweaty On those thin white lines I did some time For selling acid to the wrong guy Life just keeps on getting 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 And that's not easy to do I know there will come a day When we can leave And just go running away We were broke outside of Philly When the storms came I was working in New Jersey Hitching rides in the rain You was happy talking dirty At that phone sex place Life just keeps on getting Weirder for us everyday You say there is no perfect place I say I know this is true We are just learning how to smile And that's not easy to do We both live for the day When we can run away **Ah baby we can leave and run away (Hey, hey) We can leave this place and run away (Hey, hey) We can leave it all behind Like we do everytime Yeah we both live for the day When we can leave And just go running away *Repeat Five miles outside of Vegas Five years down the line We got married in the desert In the sunshine I can handle all the hell That happens everyday 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 We are just learning how to fall And climb back up again I know there is nothing perfect I know there's 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" **Repeat(x4) |

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 |

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. |

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 the 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 |
