- Alone In A Crowd
Cemetery break the stone
Mom was right, shoulda stayed at home
Seems like all the good old days are gone
Back and forth and side to side
A lonely boy, a mans disguise
Another silhouette against the sky
Overcome the obstacle of animosity
Take me to my old back yard, security and family
- Bad Party
So I submit you've failed us twice.
Once is for your brothers.
One is for your brothers and the second's for your sons.
Isolation, mis-education; and for very clever there is looming liquidation.
You put the light of Socialism high up on a shelf
and in effect prevented it from spreading somewhere else.
- Day In Day Out
1, 2, 3, 4...
I don't want to barge in on your secrecy (see)
Dependency (see)
It means nothing to me;
I don't want to hear about your problems.
And I don't want to listen to your apathy (see)
- Dripping Faucet
That dripping faucet is killing me
but i can't move. Im still asleep
and thinking of those dreamy hollow nights.
Who were they to say what was wrong or right?
We knew we had something then.
What its like to be young.
What its like to have something so strong.
- Guilty Pleasures
It could've been different if I sang the song so long ago, and now I'm feeling like I'm stuck in slow motion again. But all I've got is time. Running around in circles, just to find that peace of mind. And you know I'm gonna get what's mine. I've lost touch, too much sympathy. Follow me, don't bother me. Fragments of each sentence representing anything I think. And still I try to smile, and still I try to laugh. And still I'll never change, I'm stuck here studying the past. So count me in. No, count me out; it happened again. (CHORUS) It could've been. Should've been. Would've been different cause I know now what I never knew then It could've been.
It could've been different if the frgaments of each sentence were reminiscent of a sing-along song I sang so long ago. And still I try to smile, and still I try to laugh, just to find that peace of mind. And you know I'm gonna get what's mine. So count me in. No, count me out, because it happended again. (CHORUS) Forget about apologies, I'm not a sorry kid. So sing along with me. Same song we used to sing.
- Hard To Impress
You say that you don't know me
and you couldn't if you tried
and your ignorance amazes me
with every single lie.
You say one thing and mean it then
but then you can't decide.
I would like to know.
- Keasbey Nights
It was the summer of 95
(so what?)
in the backyard
shaving the old plies
feeling so strong
something went wrong
straight into my finger
what a stinger it was so long
- Lamont's Lament
sad is the man who drinks with himself
to fog up the day that precedes
from sad then to happy
from happy to bitter
that bitter old man is me
hey (hey), drink it all away
i said hey (hey), drink it all away
- Neverending Story
Neverending story but the lesson went untold.
She knew it all along if she just could take control of the situation.
Investigation.
Try to tell the story even though she couldn't take it.
Was it suicide?
Why did she have to pull the trigger?
Was it burning her inside?
Or did she have an itchy finger?
- Prologue
A hero was part of a movement from the not so distant past,
He and others like him felt the world was changing fast,
So they embarked on a journey with their very best intentions,
And thought that what began with them would never find an end.
Ready set go, it's easy you know,
It's easy to get wrapped up in the madness.
Ready or not it's all that they got,
- San Francisco Payphone
One year ago today, I tossed away, a quarter that I should've saved. I faked a farwell fantasy and misbehaved. I never made an effort. My conscience went. After all the time I spent. The dollars that I dropped on you, I thought you'd say you miss me too. So here I am, a friend, the end, I meant to disregard that birthday card, nailed upon your wall he sent. I meant to turn my eyes from everything. I shouldn't see. An oath I took, you kissed my cheek. Cried yourself to sleep, but never would you admit to me.
(CHORUS) I always laughed when you laughed. Cried when you cried. Danced when you danced. I lied. San Francisco payphone. So far from home. So many friends, and I'm alone. I faked a farewell fantasy. I lied. You bother me. My conscience gone. This conversation's dragging on. There was once upon atime when you would miss me too. So here I am, a friend, the end, I meant to disregard that birthday card, nailed upon your wall he sent. I meant to turn my eyes from everything. Never made a promise. An oath I took, I kissed your cheek. Cried myself to sleep, I won't admit that you see. (CHORUS)
- Supernothing
He wakes up sad again,
And He wonders when the rain will end.
She'll act like she don't care,
'Cause to her it's just a game, that he plays.
I'm a super, I'm a nothing, I'm a no one, goin' nowhere fast,
But I don't care, No I don't care.
I'm a super I'm a nothing I'm a no one going nowhere fast,
- The Purge
push me as far as you can, far away from yourselves.
but keep these words of mine in mind when it's your time.
i'm not the first and i won't be the last i assure you.
it won't be long before they're knocking at your door.
you're fighting a war now, a war over nothing.
a war that you're fighting with yourselves.
and you know it's a war that you can't win.
- Walking Away
Well, hello, how are you?
Won't you pull up a chair?
Won't you tell me your story because I
Really do care about talking, talking, talking away
Here's to me, to you, to us, to everything
I hope it never falls apart
We're talking, talking, talking away
- What Goes Around Comes Around
ick you up in the suburbs tomorrow. We won't tell, they won't follow. Pack your bags, and put all your trust in me.Whoa oh oh. Never had a gun to his head, that's what he said, that's why I shot him dead, with the vengance that his daughter fed. I've always been a sucker for a brown eyed, punk rock girl, and for her I'd shoot the world.
Shoot him down. Shoot him down for all the nightmares. Whoa oh ah oh. Shoot him down. What goes around will come around.Whoa oh ah oh. Shoot him down. your father is also your pain. I love you and for us I'll shoot him down.
No remorse. We've got no time to look back. The cop is on our trail and we're driving in a Topaz. Stuck in no-man's land, between the body and mind. Whoa oh oh. "Drop your gun!... Put your hands behind your head!" Turn around, pop a clip, hit him in his chest. Home free, and we're headed for the border. Spending time in Mexico, Tijuana. Drown our shame then start our lives again, in California.
Shoot him down. Shoot him down for all the nightmares. Whoa oh ah oh. Shoot him down. What goes around will come around. Whoa oh ah oh. Shoot him down. your father is also your pain. I love you and for us I shot him down.
- Wine Stained Lips
You said you'd always be there for me, you said you'd always be in my life.
But now, oh now your chasing dragons instead.
You told me I was chasing the moon,
I should have listened up but I'm a fool,
a fool tangled up in your web.
All for the taste of wine stained lips, 200 miles just to get my fix,
it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be
Your bringing me down and I need to get some sleep.
