I try so hard to be good I get these bad ides I try so hard to be good It doesn't always work out It doesn't always work out But I try...
To feel the sunlight on my eyes Shake off the shadows That were following me around It's very nice you know and quite a lot to take in To feel the sunlight and start growing again
I taught myself to push it away I was watching, watching you do it to me I taught myself to throw it away
And you get used to being happy You get used to it, used to it, used to it...
I like to thing about the clouds... How they are moving Sometimes it's nice to stay home... When everybody goes out It's nice and quiet when they call it's so loud
I don't understand
I shuffle cool across the boulevard My feet move steady, my shoes go up and down I'm always late you know... Late and never ready I keep it steady though When I get tight and all up right
I taught myself to push it away I was watching, watching you do it to me I taught myself to throw it away
And you get used to being happy You get used to it, used to it, used to it...
Make no mistake to be user don't mean loser Witty and cruel they are so easy to confuse You'll learn eventually or... Eventually you'll lose it... Eventually you'll lose it... Get used to it...
P.S. I ain't never comin' back, I ain't never comin' back here again It's over we're through Don't ask someone to change, don't ask someone to change Again until you know what you want them to change into Backed up against the wall, somehow you're still shining through
And by the way, I'm so sorry that I let you down By the way, it's true But anyway, someone's always gonna let you down If not me, then who?
P.S. I'm so sorry that I let you down again I'm so sorry that I let you down...
This is gonna haunt your dreams, This is gonna haunt your dreams when you sleep to me
Don't ask someone to change, don't ask someone to change Until you want to around that mirror back on your own face
Backed up against the wall, somehow you're still shining through
And by the way, I'm so sorry that I let you down By the way, it's true But anyway, someone's always gonna let you down Anyway, if not me, then who? P.S. I'm so sorry that I let you down again I'm so sorry that I let you down P.S. I'm so sorry that I let you down again I'm so sorry that I let you down again
My favorite song, don't know how it goes It's temperamental like the static coming over the radio When I signal to her satellite, nobody is home And oh, she's never in danger and never met a stranger
Heaven and earth, body and soul Tell me that you miss me now that I'm gone Like a book in a fireplace, too hot to read All hot and on fire, let's go to sleep
By the way, I'm free tonight If you wanna go out and see a movie or something You're my favorite
My favorite songs go by, people stare You know they need a lot of oxygen and like to wash their hair And I can build a telephone out of tin cans So we can have some conversations across the string nobody understands Say what?
Heaven and earth, body and soul
Tell me that you miss me now that I'm gone Crosses in a field, strange men with huge hats Two guitars and one violin In rented black suits with the wrong size on They try to play it, but they get it all wrong Three different keys at once, that's my favorite That's my favorite song
Hey, I'm free tonight If you wanna go out and see a movie And don't call me pal OK, bye You're my favorite You're my favorite You're my favorite
you and I we were born to play these parts and we play them so well so well and often sometimes you and I forget you know who we really are it keeps me locked into the deal
Binary stars, companions in the sky always in orbit but never to collide we're just not going supernova any time soon we're just two stars out under the moon
Typecast, we play losers who keep falling in love with the wrong ones Typecast, what a show, why won't they cancel us? we got a million more seasons to go oh no, oh yes, we've been typecast
every shadow I knew you underneath was just a studio trick, a spotlight on the stage black bottles to simulate the depth to manipulate the young and naive and hide your age
we're worse than liars we're paid to be fixed ghost lights in our living rooms for in-between matinées two lonely stars someplace beyond the moon where the light is coming from but never receiving or getting any
We're typecast, we play losers who keep falling in love with the wrong ones Typecast, what a show, why won't they cancel us? oh come on, typecast, we play losers who keep falling in love with the wrong ones Typecast, what a show, why won't they cancel us? We've been typecast, yeah we've been typecast
No time to explain Always hopeless in a hurry There's no one to blame For an empty heart
Well, well, well Nothing's gonna change Nothing's gonna change our way out Into the sewers at the bottom of the wishing well
My heart isn't black It's just dirty from the floors Nobody walks across Nobody walks across or sleeps on anymore
Well, well, well Nothing's gonna change Nothing's gonna change, oh well Into the sewers at the bottom of the wishing well Wishing well Wishing well
At the bottom of the wishing well
No one left to blame No body to dismember Just a shadow on the floor A shadow on the floor From a light that wasn't on, oh well Well, well Nothing's gonna change Oh well Into the sewers at the bottom of the wishing well The bottom of the wishing well Wishing well At the bottom of the wishing well Oooh Oooh Oh
Hello Gracie you're a good little girl It's a beautiful world oh when you're out in it Last time I saw you playing in the yard You were running with children and the old people were smiling Do you miss me would you know me at all? If you walked by my house would you smile and turn the corner? Blow your kisses oh make it feel worse You know you gotta make the best of the time got has given you
I scratch your name into a wall on the beach with my keys on the side of the pier I used to sleep so I would dream I was lying with you mid-summer In the grass in the fields
Nobody was right Nobody was wrong, but somebody had to go Nobody is here so nobody is gone, hello, goodbye, hello Hello, hello, hello
I scratch your name in my arm with my keys on the beach on the side of the pier I keep your picture in a frame on the wall of my place Down the block far enough away it's like I'm not here
You're in my heart and you're in my soul, so I have to let you go You're in my heart and you're in my soul, but I gotta let you go Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello I gotta let you go Hello, Hello, Hello I gotta let you go I gotta let you go, goodbye, goodbye I gotta let you go, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I gotta let you go

No silence, no sound No feeling, on and on and on and on... Go under and go down again and on and on...
No pressure, no talk No heartbeat, R-E-S-P-O-N-S-E I go under and go down again and on and on....
Something is wrong, something is wrong Something that was making me feel good is not Something is wrong, something is wrong Something that was making me feel good is not Is not, is not, is not... Nobody understands and it's all I got
No violence profound... As violence, I act out against myself When I go under and down again and on and on...
No wonder I fell Nobody was underneath me there to catch me When I go under and down again and on and on...
Something is wrong, something is wrong Something that was making me feel good is not Something is wrong, something is wrong Something that was making me feel good is not Is not, is not, is not... Nobody understands and it's all I got
I make reservations at the Crystal Skull for me... For me, and Scarlet, and a a friend of hers I'm not gonna lie to you it only gets worse She gets so disconnected when her glass is too full
And Scarlet gets bombed And Scarlet gets high and she breaks into song Scarlet gets loud, Scarlet gets lost And the gloves come off And she's like this every night... Down at the Crystal Skull The Crystal Skull is open all night
I think I was ready for a quiet night... A quiet night of talking we ended up... Ended up, ended up downtown 'Cause Scarlet's thirsty inside She's a fisherman who drains the ocean first... And then decides
And Scarlet gets bombed And Scarlet gets high and she breaks into song Scarlet gets loud, Scarlet gets angry
And Scarlet is so tired... She's been swimming for awhile... Nobody reaches shore riding the crimson tide
Down at the Crystal Skull... The Crystal Skull The Crystal Skull The Crystal Skull is open all night... Is open all night
And Scarlet's ready to go out tonight Go out tonight Go out tonight Scarlet's ready to go out... Tonight Tonight Tonight Scarlet's ready to go out... Tonight
First things first, straight out of the box It's time to open your presents babe Here's a family full of light I know it's not much This one is mine, I keep it with me all the time like a crutch Like something ancient passed down from a father Something that nobody can touch
A kiss away from seeing the stars You and I we are always on the way On the way or in between the bars And those kisses, those kisses they're lost
But don't worry baby It's not you, This can't be as crazy And these kisses start the wars
I got to taste her sleepin' But like junkies hate the blood Like drunks with all their missin' cigarettes In apartments with skulls and blacked out windows
Artificial flowers and T.V. remote controls I get lost, things change people don't People don't, things change no
A kiss away from seeing the stars You and I we are always on the way On the way or in between the bars And those kisses, those kisses they're lost
But don't worry baby It's not you, This can't be as crazy
Oh don't, don't worry baby It's not you, this can't be as crazy Yeah these kisses start the wars These kisses start the wars
I told everybody I was late But I was hiding in the back Hiding in the back my hands would shake Happy Birthday I'm your birthday cake
And I'm lit, and I'm baked And I'm tired, I tried to escape From the fight, I got untied I was wrong, you were right... I was wrong, you were right... Happy Birthday
I told everybody I was clean But I had clouds in my bath Listening to music, reading poetry
Nodding off and nearly drowning myself
And it's clear you're clearly upset Wanna smoke, but my smokes are all wet I've got two, both of them lit Happy Birthday Happy Birthday Happy Birthday Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday I'm your birthday cake and I'm lit...
So glad that you found someone Someone and so fast It's time to let go of someone And put it to rest But I don't feel sorry for you Not sorry at all No I don't feel sorry for him or for her My world is gonna revolve It's gonna keep spinning around me, doll The world where no one belongs to her And you're the one she thinks she wants It's true, she's lovely and blue
So now that it's underground And they're talking too fast Whatever that they're talking about, it's not me, It's all in the past And I don't feel sorry for you I'm not sorry at all
No I don't feel sorry, in fact just the opposite My world is gonna revolve It's gonna keep spinning around me The world where no one belongs to her And you're the one she wants My world My world is gonna revolve It's gonna to keep spinning round me, doll The world where no one belongs to her And you're the one she thinks she wants She thinks, she wants, the world The world she thinks she wants It's hers and you'll never get through Oh god it's so true It's true, It's true, she so lovely and blue

Stop asking if I'm with her Stop it now before you get what you deserve Stop playing, stop playing with my head Alright, already you win... Alright, already you win...
Stop it I'm tired, and I want to go to bed Stop it I'm half undressed, so get out or get in Stop it I'm not impressed... So just stop it, just stop it, just stop it.... Stop playing my head... Alright, already you win...

This is the silence so nobody understand Iced ocean leaves our ships just sliding in Could forming, lighting shooting from it's hands Sky's on fire, make a wish and use it quick my friend
Come on, come on, come on Let's go it's getting darker Come on, come on, come on, come on let's go... Come on, come on, come on, come on Before my wish expires Something bad is on the horizon Shining ultraviolet light
I see you hovering oblivious to air The laws of nature don't apply, don't apply to her No wonder that the world came to an end There was another on the other side Inside her head
Come on, come on, come on Let's go it's getting darker Come on, come on, come on, come on let's go... Come on, come on, come on, come on Before my wish expires Something bad is on the horizon Shining ultraviolet light
Shining ultraviolet light
Slow violence only radiates the sand Delete your messages and... Come on, come on, come on Ultraviolet light's know the best way in Don't wake the monsters in my head Tip toe they're sleeping in
Come on, come on, come on Let's go it's getting darker Come on, come on, come on, come on let's go... Come on, come on, come on, come on Before my wish expires Something bad is on the horizon Shining ultraviolet light
This was a wish, this was a wish I made... This was a wish, this was a wish I made... This was a wish, this was a wish I made... This was a wish, this was a wish I made... This was a wish.... Now here comes the light... Now here comes the light... Here comes the light...
