I need a better way, to get my head straight It's not like anybody would know I've got a silver cloud, high above me Running circles around and around me
* Turn it up again, we're going nowhere And let the sound surround everyone I'll play the static with the noise in my head And let the sound surround everyone
Go off the deep end, I've got nothing to prove And I've got nothing better to do I'm so happy, so fucking happy now That I'm far from the glare of the city
* Repeat
A better way, a better way, a better way I need a better way
I heard the white noise, the waves and radiation They're falling from the sky
* Repeat
Turn it up again, we're going nowhere I'll play the static with the noise in my head And let the sound surround, turn it up again, Let the sound surround, oh...
She paints her nails and she don't know He's got her best friend on the phone She'll wash her hair His dirty clothes are all he gives to her And he's got posters on the wall Of all the girls he wished she was And he means everything to her
* Her boyfriend, he don't know Anything about her He's too stoned, Nintendo I wish that I could make her see She's just the flavor of the weak

* Repeat
Go!

* Don't wanna make you hurt Don't wanna make you feel Like the world ain't on your side Like you're never gonna get it right No I can't fight I can't sleep at night Just thinking about you girl I'm a fool for you Yes I am
You've been on my mind Since I saw you walking by I knew I had to know you better, you were everything But I didn't know what to say So you just walked away I couldn't believe what a fool I was to let you go Cause that I've been waiting for a girl like you And I know there's nothing I could do

* I wanna get out when everything's alright Can't you see I'm a wreck, gonna crash and burn I wanna get out I've done my time If you fuck with me, I might blow your mind yeah
I'm not qualified to answer anyone If the world can wait then why can't I You're not justified in what you do or say Empty heads in a line, yeah you're on your way
** I'm not asking for much just get out of my way I'm in the eye of the storm beautiful blue day
I don't ever try To keep the love alive I've found the frequency You sucked it out of me I'm not the only one To hold a smoking gun You felt the gravity You think you're finally free
I don't even know Which way it oughta go Get out before you drown Before they bring us down It's all inside of me My only enemy You sucked it out of me You fucked it outta me
Watch the world turn on Watch the world turn on Watch the world turn on My only enemy
I want it all before you go I want it all before you go I want it all before you go
I don't even try To keep the love alive I've found the frequency You sucked it out of me You sucked it out of me You sucked it out of me My only enemy, my only enemy
Watch the world turn on Watch the world turn on Watch the world turn on My only enemy, my only enemy My only enemy, my only enemy My only enemy
I'm holding on, waiting for your call It's simple but I can't explain this I'm sinking down, I feel like I could die I'm falling off I don't know why
* I still believe it when you say It's another perfect day, another perfect day I still believe it when you say It's another perfect day, another perfect day
So I might try to leave it all behind I know tomorrow's not so bright now I'll say goodbye, 'cause nothing good can last You wear and fade you're nowhere fast
And today, I don't know how To keep it all inside But I guess I'll let it slide
* Repeat
Today, I don't know why I thought that it was real But I guess it's no big deal
* Repeat
I don't know how I don't know how I don't know how To let it slide
I could hang around You could let me down again but it's killing me I can't waste a sound here And you'll break me if you can You'll break me if you can
* Drag me down again It's hard to be your scar A frozen satellite You never got that far It's hard to be your scar And cool like you
Every sorry lie I can't live that down now So you'll wait and see I'm caught between the seam and me You'll break me if you can You'll break me, break me if you can
* Repeat

Drag me down again It's hard to be your scar A frozen satellite You never got that far (never got that far)
So drag me down again It's hard to be your scar A frozen satellite You never got that farm (never got that far)
Never got that far (never got that far) Never got that far
It's getting hard But you don't even know Maybe you can't see I'm getting tired I'm wasted I'll panic on
* Hearts are sick and blind Yeah well you don't even know All you gotta do Just stop and ask me Silver chrome and steam Set the tone and send me out It's everything you want Complete the failure
No more to say What about today What's really going on And between the blinds And blood shot eyes I thought I'd see my way See my way
* Repeat
Yeah you're getting awfully close Yeah you're getting awfully close
It don't mean nothing When you say it's gonna be alright Cause you'll tell me anything, I wanna hear And it don't mean nothing When you laugh at my jokes Cause it's all or nothing when I fall apart Fade, fade, fade Into you
You're under my skin now I could shut out the world that we know I'll try to be everything you want me to be And I've got a head start But I'm making the same mistakes And it's all or nothing when I fall apart Fade, fade, fade Into you
* Caught in the rush of the crowd Lost in a wall of sound You were ringing in my ear Caught in the rush of the crowd Lost in a wall of sound You were ringing in my ear
Whoa, whoa Last call now I'm out of time And I don't got no valentine Singled out, now I stand alone The underdog at a modern world Suburbia's hot tonight But nothing seems to feel alright

Forget about tomorrow You and me we're going down in sorrow Youth of the nation going nowhere Station to station Teenage alien nation (woah) Teenage alien nation (yeah)
It's all wrong I guess that some of us have come and gone I guess we kinda shudda known it all along Never going anywhere Sometimes you gotta pick it up and roll the dice Your looking back and you don't think twice About feeling lonely everyday
Forget about tomorrow You and me we're going down in sorrow Youth of the nation going nowhere Station to station Teenage alien nation (woah) Teenage alien nation (yeah)
Forget about tomorrow You and me we're going down in sorrow Youth of the nation going nowhere Station to station
Forget about tomorrow You and me we're going down in sorrow Youth of the nation going nowhere Station to station
I don't know what I can take Can you feel the pressure break I've been getting by on nothing How long so long Feeling like I lost my vision Transmission full of dead ambition Kinda sorta gotta get it together I can't wait forever
Rise out of the atmosphere I gotta disappear I gotta get out of here You got the best of me Rise up and outta here Into the stratosphere I gotta get out of here You got the best of me
I could never be that clever Even though it's now or never Counting down the seconds till it blows 4 3 2 1 Disappear without a trace Could I be in outer space Staring at the sun till I get how high so high
Rise out of the atmosphere I gotta disappear I gotta get out of here You got the best of me Rise up and outta here Into the stratosphere I gotta get out of here You got the best of me
Did I break down Can we slow down I wanna get out I don't wanna be so bored
Rise out of the atmosphere I gotta disappear I gotta get out of here You got the best of me Rise up and outta here Into the stratosphere I gotta get out of here You got the best of me
