We all start out As beautiful as spring A midnight summers dream So innocent we look upon ourselves And we wish the whole world well
CHOURS In the end we want it all In the end we take it all In the end apart it falls In the end there's nothing
We bear no scar Our conscience clean and smooth we kiss the breast of youth As our eye sight fades with age We put on horn-rimmed glasses And we work out lives away Buy the pearl Sell the world
Take everything that I own My destination's unknown If I started to yell Could you even tell would it do any good Mr. Misunderstood I'm not asking for change I know it sounds strange
CHORUS But it feels kind of good Feeling this bad I'm invincible At my all time low And it feels good yeah, feleing this bad
I'm at the end of my rope I just remembered a joke Have you heard the one About the one I've become
I'm alive and you're alive And don't we both Deserve to be happy We realize we're not the same So no one here should take away the blame It's okay to walk away And live to love another day This is not a fiarytale This is life And sometimes life fails
CHORUS Thought I'd let you know Just before you go It's alright Make your brand new start But keep me in your heart And you'll be fine That's reality
As water flows beneath the bridge We're learning how to forgive As milk spreads out across the floor We both agree it's not worth Fighting for
BRIDGE Nothing's perfect except God And a California sunset We're not perfect It doesn't mean we're bad There's a palce in the sun For everyone You just got to find it I wish you luck with yours I have to go and find mine
Generation X We are complex Angst is the perfect wave Ride it and be well paid It all sucks, oh by the way I wrote a new song today So upset with all I have And the world is such a drag I've become my own cliche
CHORUS I am an angry young man I am an angry young man A.Y.M an angry man
Repeate the past It's a gas, gas, gas Make all the same mistakes That all my heros made Pretend that I hate fame How dare you misspell my name?! Hurts so bad, I have to fix Apology read by some chick Another million in the bag
I keep talking to myself, but the words Sound like some one else I'm ready to bleed all this shit From my veins I'm willing to plead for a cure To the pain And I am amazed that I'm still Semi-sane
CHORUS I'm falling down My world is spinning round It feels like I'm flying The feeling is lying I'm falling down Falling down
I'm a monster I'm not well No mirrors So I cannot tell There's a zoo on my back And a cloud on my soul Where I once had a heart There's a bottomless hole I wish I could get back An ounce of control
BRIDGE I can't see beauty in anything I can't tell where I tripped up Where I fell I'm a piece of candy cane Wedged tightly in a drain Day by day, dissolving away
In between where I've been and Everywhere I want to be One piece here and one chip there I am broken beyond repair Why should I care
CHORUS Soon you won't be able To see me at all If the sun shines down On me tomorrow Will it fill me up Or leave me hollow Not quite disappearing Altogether I'm here but I'm never... Solid
No one comes and no one calls I might as well Not be here at all I crack up, I break down On a ledge above solid ground Please talk me down
So you think my exterior seems A little out of focus Because I don't talk in cliches that people try to use to stroke us I don't care too much for Clicks and gangs and little sweing circles If you want a place in this rat race I say Run off and join the circus
CHORUS If you look inside my head You will see things That you probably shouldn't see Because my outside is off center But I gurantee It's stranger inside me
Have you ever felt like Pulling your insides out Cause they're burning You feel caged Like an animal that wants to fuck And you're yearning For something strange, unexpected Unexplainable to happen That either kills you Leaves you hurt Or makes it hard to stop From laughing
My head is floating in the clouds My feet are in the ocean My body is earth bound My mind is an explosion
CHORUS Right on time with that line I'm a kite up in the sky I don't want to wonder why Don't stray to far away I want to feel like this forever Vertigo
My soul has caught the perfect wave My spirit is my lover I hope it rains for forty days I will walk across the water
First thing he does when he climbs out of bed He searches out a place to drink his daily bread He wraps himself up tight in alcohol It keeps him warm at night like grandma's shawl When he was a child with everything planned and his body was clean Now he sits all alone in a room with a view with the brick wall he's run into Life has a way of leaving people like him stained
First thing she does when she goes out at night She sells a smile to get what fills her up inside She brings plenty home and slowy gets stoned in a room by herself Alone in a room with a view of the brick wall she's run into Life has a way of leaving people like us stained
I fade to black I turn to grey When ever you have gone away I can't decide what I should eat Without you I am incomplete When you're back I have to say
CHORUS When I'm sick and tired You make me well Any little thing You do I can tell You make me feel Like nobody else Like nobody else
Hold my breath till I turn blue I try to think of things to do Try so hard to watch t.v. It always ends up watching me Dying to see you
Chorus
Ohh, like nobody else Nobody else, No-Oh No-Oh Nobody else
I fade to black I turn to grey Whenever you have gone away When you cry it hurts like hell And if you die I kill myself
CHORUS Yeah, Oh, Yeah When you make me feel bad Any little thing on my mind You do I can tell You make me feel like...
Nobody else Like nobody else... Nobody make me feel like you do Makes me feel like you do Makes me feel like you do Makes me feel... Yeah, nobody else Nobody makes me feel Nobody makes me feel
Dirty rotten filthy stinking rich Italian cars as long as my street I'm gonna wear exotic animals on my feet Pretty rocks on my fingers pretty bells on my toes Lots of caviar for my mouth Maybe I'll even pierce my nose
Chorus: Give me, give me just half a chance to lead you in this corporate dance And I'll be dirty rotten filthy stinking rich
Sign it all in the palm of my hand Nothing gonna get in the way do you understand I got a house I got a jet I got a Rolls Royce painted blue The only thing that's left is for me to own you too
Give me, give me just half a chance to lead you in this corporate dance And I'll be dirty rotten filthy stinking rich
I'm gonna have more money than you have ever seen Baby I just want all the frills I'm gonna insluate my body in green (me too) I'm going to light my cigarettes with $100 bills
Give me give me just half a chance To take you on a hopeless romance And I'll be dirty rotten filthy stinking rich
I told you what I want I want bank accounts And I want cd's I want early term rollovers I want everything!
Certain things you do Really make me mad I must confess The way the streetlight silhouttes your thighs inside your dress Wild child in the streets I think I see you But I really don't know Goin' a million miles an hour Headed out to where the down boys go
Chorus: Woah Can we rewind to where we've been Ooh I wish you'd take a look and see the shape I'm in Where the down boys go GO Where the down boys go GO Where the down boys go I wanna go where the down boys go – baby
You comb your hair Put on your shades You look real cool Giving me the run-around you make me feel like a fool You got a lot of nerve to call me cheap even though it's true I don't care where we go tonight Just take me along with you
Certain things you do Really make me mad I must confess The way the streetlight silhouettes Your thighs inside your dress Whoa Can we rewind to where we've been Ooh I wish you'd take a look and see the shape I'm in
Where the down boys go GO Where the down boys go GO Where the down boys go I wanna go where the down boys go Yeah Where the down boys go Where the down boys go Where the down boys go Where they go---
Just for the record Lets get the story straight Me and Uncle Tom were fishing It was getting pretty late Out on a cypress limb Above the wishin' well where they say it got no bottom Say it take you down to hell Over in the bushes And off to the right Come two men talkin In the pale moon light Sheriff John Brady and Deputy Hedge Haulin' two limp bodies Down to the water's edge
I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin, oh yeah I know a secret that I just can't tell
They didn't see me and Tom In the trees Neither one believing What the other could see Tossed in the bodies let 'em sink on down To the bottom of the well Where they'd never be found
I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin I know a secret that I just can't tell I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin Know who put the bodies in the wishing well
Soon as they were gone Me and Tom got down Pray' real hard That we wouldn't make a sound Runing throught he woods Back to Uncle Tom's shack Where the full moon shines Through the roof tile cracks
Oh my God, Tom, who are we gonna tell The sheriff he belongs in a prison cell Keep your mouth shut That's what we're gonna do Unless you wanna wind up In the wishin' well too
I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin I know a secret that I just can't tell I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin Know who put the bodies in the wishing well
Generation X We are complex Angst is the perfect wave Ride it and be well paid It all sucks, oh by the way I wrote a new song today So upset with all I have And the world is such a drag I've become my own cliche
CHORUS I am an angry young man I am an angry young man A.Y.M an angry man
Repeate the past It's a gas, gas, gas Make all the same mistakes That all my heros made Pretend that I hate fame How dare you misspell my name?! Hurts so bad, I have to fix Apology read by some chick Another million in the bag
Mother should know Father should go Battered dreams and broken bones Living hell when he's at home Feel so much pain I'm not to blame Cannot move cannot breathe He should die instead of me Some break away Some choose to stay But every scream kept inside Leaves a scare either way
CHORUS We are on our own We all die alone Black eyed broken truth I'm still bleeding from a Wasted Youth
Well, the first time that I saw you I could not speak a word. My tongue was tied in giant knots and I felt so disturbed. At the feeling rushing through me. The heat inside my veins. The way my nerve ends tingle. Every time you call my name. Got a lust ignited fever, and I can't put out the flame.
Next time that I saw you, I felt so at ease. You had a languid disposition. I had an willingness to please. And your candy apple red lips, Full of violets and sex. Had me harder than a coal train. Had my collar wringing wet.
Know I'm gonna crash and burn, but I'm not finished yet.
CHORUS My heart is pounding like a big bass drum. Excited at the thought I might get me some. Lick it off my fingers, taste it on my tongue Love you little baby like a ma-ma-ma-machine gun
You are a symphony of elegance. A masterpiece of grace. An animated work of art, Who's acquired a taste, for the flesh of weaker lovers, who'll lie down on their backs. To be ridden at your leisure, and be taken off like hats. I'm not here for you to walk on, And I'm not your welcome mat.
CHORUS
The first time that I saw you, I could not speak a word. My tongue was tied in giant knots, And I felt so disturbed. At the feeling rushing through me, The heat inside my veins. The way my nerve ends tingle, Every time you call my name. I've got a lust ignited fever, and I can't put out the flame.
