- Already Gone
Do you remember,
That feeling, that we had long ago
Well it's almost gone
I can sense it for an instant,
Then like snow in my hand,
It melts away
Will we ever, accept that,
- Away From Here
When I see you
and I know you don't see me
I try to imagine how it must be now
to walk this world alone
to walk this world alone
to carry on and do it on your own
With everybody working and everybody trying
- Beer
Don't let em take it all away
It's getting harder every day
Brothers, sisters, hear me say
'Til my very dying day
I'm down on my luck
I'm out on the streets
I'm at wits end and I've nearly been beat
- Box
I know a guy who lives in a box
He built it himself of cement and rocks
And he'll never come out though I beg and plead
He's got all that he wants if not all that he needs
You see he couldn't take the world and what it's done to him
He just had to escape, had to shut himself in
Now his walls are his friends so he's never alone
And he's never bothered in his cubic home
- Brain on Ska
Drinkin' in the pub just the other night,
this girl comes up to me and says "what would ya like?"
I said another beer another pitcher or two.
Drank a few more rounds and the night was through!
This is your brain,
this is your brain on ska!
This is your brain,
- Dressed Up
I don't know how it started but it can't end too soon
The way the tide is turning I think you're singing the wrong tune
You're addicted to an image you can never attain
The time and money spent enough to drive me insane
You're fronting like a billboard but easier to read
An ounce of introspection is what you probably need
You don't have care
Your bandwagon's rolling but it's going nowhere
- Everything Girl
Don't know what you see
When you look at me girl
It's not plain to see
That's what frightens me now
'Cause I know, what I show
Might not be what I know
Yeah I been, beaten down
But you changed that for me
- Go
Spent too much time alone, just sitting by the telephone now
I've gotta find a place to go
I've got a right, I've got a dream, I gotta know
Why can't you see I need to find this place to go?
The wrong way
The right time
You know it
- In Your Face
Shove it right back in your face,
This ain't that other time, this ain't that other place.
Persistence ain't no saving grace,
And you know better than to try me.
Looking back, I let it happen.
Looking back, I let you in.
Looking back, I'm looking forward,
- Jerry
What were you thinking when you took all these lives in your hand
What were you doing, was your death considered in your plans
You took so many, You took so many with you on your way
You even took our friend, but those you left now face the day
I wasn't like you
I wasn't like you
I wasn't like you
- Just a Minute
Just a minute at a time,
Will you ever see it my way? See it my way.
Till we can see eye to eye,
Will you ever take it all away? Take it all away.
I can't fake it, (I can't fake it.)
And you won't try. (You won't try.)
I can't leave until you find...
- Life Is Too Short
How can you say, you were the one
You were the one who thought things over
When you come, stone in hand
Now you come, you come against me
Well I've been to this place before
And I know when things are going amiss
Got to come together for us all
- Lolita
Lolita,
I wanna meet ya
I wanna take you in my arms and squeeze ya,
'cause you amaze me,
Ya really slay me
And every touch just drives me crazy.
But the world won't accept the way I feel,
- Mendoza
I was hanging with my friends and they said I looked peaked
I said I met a girl and she's making me freaked
Like no other girl that I've known before
She's driving me wild, knocks me flat on the floor
Yeah she stole my heart with a butter knife
And I can't get away even if I try
Mendoza, Mendoza, why can't you see?
That you're the only girl, you're the girl for me
- Miss Michigan
I went out with a girl just a little while
And I loved her so, though she cramped my style
Cause every time I'd reach she'd turn away
And every time I'd call she'd turn and say
"I'm sorry Dave, I got no time, I've got my life, my life is mine."
So after a year or maybe more
I finally got a clue, and I found the door
- Mr. Smiley
I remember how it used to be,
and all the things you said to me.
You always taught me right from wrong.
(Wrong from right, right from wrong)
'Til you went on the killing spree,
and killed your family.
Why is this the way things have to be?
- Not Again
Since the day I met you
I couldn't forget you
Put my mind right into a blender
Cause I couldn't understand you
I worked and I fretted
I mentally sweated
Put my brain on overdrive
Worked my mind just to make you mine
- Not Enough
Time has come you think it's over
Yeah ya had enough
Burned out and over-rated
Time to give it up
But then the spark ignites the flame
And now you realize why you came
You know it's hardly over
It's not enough
- Over the Edge
It's not the first time
It's not the last time
It's just high time
I think you had a talking to
Because they're talking
You know they're talking,talking
How the last time
You took it way too far
- Sadie May
I looked around
When you said that it was going down
And I found myself in another town
Where I knew you were for me
I though about
What you said
And if it would amount
To anything
- Safe
i'm another world away
my old self locked in a cage
inside walls i have to stay
just a moment many day
what i left behind still lives
i can hear it when im still
weak connection, lines will cross
different lies, we co-exist
- Skank By Numbers
One! Get off your seat!
Two! Stomp your boots to the beat!
Three! Throw your knees in the air!
Four! Like you don't care!
We don't want to see you slammin' in the pit, NO!
We don't want to see our girlfriends kicked, NO!
We just want to see you movin' faster and faster,
to the beat of the super ska master.
- Someday Right Now
If I could
You know I would
And I probably should
Since the first day that I met you
'Wanted to speak my mind, at least, you know I meant to.
Good intentions, getting me nowhere
Somehow got to find my way to tell you now.....
You don't know how much you mean to me
- Suburband Homesick Blues
Saw an old friend, yeah just the other day
Went to his house, got lost along the way
Should've known better than to venture out that side of town
It's been a while since we had last talked
Knew things would change, but not the way I thought
It's funny how priorities change when you walk across the rail
Lost
- Thigh High Nylons
Poodle doos and saddle shoes don't mean a thing to me,
it's your thigh high nylons that bring me to my knees.
Bring back the classic bob, and drop the shaggy crop.
In your thigh high nylons, my eyes are spinning and they won't stop.
Thigh high nylons, you're alright,
thigh high nylons, you're out of sight,
won't you get those thigh highs on tonight?
- Throw a Bomb
I had a bad day so I said to myself
I wanna have fun, gunna raise some hell
Gunna show this world my time has come
Gunna go and blow up everyone
So I went to the store and bought me some gas
Poured it into my old man's flask
Called all my friends to join along
And now
- Too Stoopid
The first time I saw you you said you were drunk,
too much beer, or so you thunk.
A night of drinking had clouded your head,
and in another day you wouldn't know what you said.
You said you were sorry as you drooled on my shoe,
and I just laughed at one sight of you.
You couldn't walk straight and you slurred when you spoke,
and I thought it was just a joke.
- Yesterday
I know you're happy when you smile
I know it's taken me awhile
I know I'm going out of style
10,000 miles from you
But everything is still O.K.
'Cause I'm closer everyday
Which is more than I would have to say
If I was next to you
- You
You never told me
What was wrong or what was right
You never told me
Why you couldn't sleep at night
I know you've heard this before
But I'll say it once more
You've done all you can
And you can't do any more
