Alien Ant Farm

Wonderful as it may seem,
I've never been alone
Open wide and look closely
This is what I'm shown

I've got friends in this cold city
That won't pick up no slack
I've got friends on every street
That wanna stab my back
Oh, Oh, oooh

[CHORUS]
I've been around the block, oh oh
So many times I forgot my address
So many times I don't know where I live

Terrible as it may be
Don't wanna leave this misery
I've got friends in the highest places
They all got their goals
I've got friends with two faces
But don't have one damn soul


[CHORUS]
I've been around this town, oh oh
I'm so high I will never come down
(but) When I do, I hit the hard ground

[1st CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
Never feel at home
No I don't
I know it's true
I'd leave if not for you
Nowhere else to go
I swear baby,
No one's got no soul no more
No on'es got no soul no more...
Oh, Oh, Ooooh

[2nd CHORUS]
[1st CHORUS]

I threw a rock at window
I missed and hit the light
And now it's hard to see you
Without illuminate
I punched a knock on your door
Not to cause a fight
And now I'd pay to see you
Just for one more night

Never meant to do you wrong
Never meant to cause you harm
...

Find a heart to break in
Maybe yours tonight
Throw a Molotov in
Just to make it bright
Here's to every cocktail
That we drank tonight
Here's to making up and
Cheers to one more fight

Never meant to do you wrong
Never meant to cause you harm
Never meant to do you wrong
Never meant to cause you harm

(I threw a rock at window)

Never meant, never meant
Never meant to do you wrong
Never meant, never meant
Never meant to do you wrong
Never meant, never meant
Never meant to do you wrong

Never meant to do you wrong...

All that you do is steps above
Anything else we could dream of
My tabloid girl, you miracle
God's gift to Earth, but cynical
Wannabe's gather around you
Walking on eggshells behind you
Spit on your face, I'd love to
If only I didn't love you

And then your friends will say
That you look good today
Goodbye, goodbye
And then to your dismay
You turned your head one day
Goodbye, goodbye
...

Humbleness taught me to share the love
But you never caught that drift, did ya?
My little girl, you see the world
A dismal place where you're the thrill
My sweet, you certain state of grace
Larger than life to all human race
If I could just pull back your reins
Make 'em tight
My sweet, there's nothing larger than life

I hear my conscience say
That you look good today
Goodbye, goodbye
And then to disbelief
You turned your pretty cheek
Goodbye, goodbye
...

You never caught that drift, did ya?
You never caught that drift, did ya!?

And then your friends will say
That you look good today
And in your special way
You knew before they told ya
And then with no delay
You turned your head one day

Goodbye (goodbye)
Goodbye (goodbye)
Goodbye (goodbye)
Goodbye (goodbye)

Goodbye...

She traps a velvet moth between her harmless hands,
Then builds an Atrium to perch on her night stand,
She lays to watch her fly, atracted towards the light,
She it all mine.

It's now another day in search for anything,
She'll take advantage of any human being,
She loves to watch me fly, attracted towards the light,
She's all mine, if she'd only leave the light on.

She breathes under my velvet wings,
If she'd only leave the light on.
She brings all that she used to be,
If she only left the light on.

I swear it's hard to tell if I'm the only one,
I fount a photograph next to the Arium,
It's faded black and white, he's holding her so tight,
She's all mine, if she'd only leave the light on.

She breathes under my velvet wings,
If she'd only left the light on.
She brings all that she used to be,
If she only left the light on.

All the powder on your wings, make me feel I'm everything,
And every single evening I love you with the way I sing.

I sing.

Cablecars run through my mind
Think of north on Valentine
Maybe we drink, to old friends
You should go, she's on my mind again
I lost my only enemy

So I reminisce thoughts
Tried be true
Takes me back, when I had to choose
And I don't ever lose
Someone's making me love, and I don't think it's you
Sleep, and I don't ever dream
Someone's got me in line and I don't ever dream

Indecision breaks my vision
And I don't give a damn
Indecision breaks my vision
And I don't give a damn
So I reminisce thoughts, tried be true
Then played you out, was not good
Reminisce thoughts, tried be true
Then I play you out like a rubix cube
And I don't ever lose
Someone's making me love and I don't think it's you
Free from disease now I'm clean
You just punch your hole, and it won't seem to bleed

Only, only two of us, only the two of us

When I had to choose, and I don't ever lose
Someone's making me love and I don't think it's you
Free from disease now I'm clean
You just punch your hole and it won't seem to bleed

I'm back to your game
Inpacting for rain
And to the flow when
I think the vessel bent

Now time is precious
Rocky waves we're nauseous
Knocking... Everything is wet!
From us the ocean will be fed

What made us try
To have done what we do
Let's dream of dry
Then I'll tremble in the nightsky full-tide

Don't you recognize, I'll rock the boat again
I'm getting scurvy, bad
Don't you recognize, I'll rock the boat again
I'm getting scurvy, bad

Now it's been days
And the sun won't show it's face
To blame mistakes on me
Now the cold becomes obscene

Will you just spend
Think I'm saving my life again
This ship has made me cry
I think the next we should fly sky fuel side

Don't you recognize? I'll rock the boat again
I'm getting scurvy, bad!
Don't you recognize? I'll rock the boat again
I'm getting scurvy, bad!

Will bring up all the sharks
'Cause all the whales have got my suit
You failed to reconize all the things we do
Check yourself, the boat's just 'bout to sink
Your gonna choke on the salt if you try to drink

Will bring up all the sharks
'Cause all the whales have got my suit
You failed to reconize all the things we do
Check yourself, the boat's just 'bout to sink
'Cause we don't need you bitch
You think you are the missed link

All the prison in the world couldn't make you
All the rescue that I see don't bring you
Stand up or sit back and walk the plank
Hit the deck and recall (2X)

All the prison in the world couldn't make you (3X)

Jump, Jump, Jump

Sit back and walk the plank
Hit the deck and recall all you used to take
All the things that don't work
Hit the deck and recall
Don't you recognize? I'll rock the boat again
I'm getting scurvy, bad!
Don't you recognize? I'll rock the boat again
I'm getting scurvy, bad!

Don't you? (4X)

Hope is the thing I'm feeling today
Walking a mile out of the way
I still might make it though
Turn on your street and see a car
Finding our home a house of pain
See in an instant things can change
And never feel the same
Turn on your street and see a car
One where I thought
Mine should be parked
If that's what you demand
Then that's what I'll deliver
If that's what you demand
Then that's just what I'll give you
Trenches dug out the side of the road
Remember the smell of earth in piles
And there was nothing else to do
There was nothing left to do
But walk for miles
So I walked for miles
If that's what you demand
Then that's what I'll deliver
If that's what you demand
Then that's just what I'll give you
Turn on your street and see a car
Someone I thought was a friend to me
Has ripped a hole in my life
Someone I thought was a friend to me
Has gone and married my wife
If that's what you demand
Then that's what I'll deliver
If that's what you demand
Then that's just what I'll give you
If that's your master plan
Then I wish you two the best
Together
If that's what you demand, now
Then that's just what I'll give you

Wiping the sleep from my eyes
Waking up to no surprises
The feeling of compromise
Telling you my dear, you don't brighten my day

Step into the water cold
These mornings are getting old
Turning the motor over again and again
I just have to get away

My mother told me that
There would be days like this

[CHORUS]
And it's true
There's no feelings
Shackled to the sheets that
Bind me to you,
No more dreaming

1, 2, 3 Bad Morning

Turning and tossing at night
Falling asleep with my eyes wide
Bad moods are justified
Telling you something I don't feel the same

Step in my dream for a while
The nightmare of every child
Finding the monster under again and again
I just have to get away

My mother told me that
There would be days like this

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
I wish I never woke up this morning
I wish I never spoke up today
I have seen better days...

[CHORUS x2]

1, 2, 3 Bad Morning

I've spilling all my guts for this
And every time I miss
I swear it's maddening
I can't feel beyond my fingertips
Under my feet I trip
but am I stopping?

[CHORUS]
Please save me
From this relationship
Let me have just what I feel is mine
Lay down
Under the bluest sky
I wanna feel the sun until I'm blind

I don't know what I'm supposed to do
So when it comes to you
I'm at a still-stand
Time well spent is getting far and few
Don't know what else to do
it's out of my hands

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
Everyone needs a time of rescue
Why do I feel stuck with this?
And maybe ours is overdue
I don't want to leave this mess
There's only one thing left to do
Why do I feel stuck with this?

[CHORUS]

[CHORUS with BRIDGE as back-up]

Technology won't save you
or your atmosphere
You carry on like nothing's wrong
But it could happen here
Do you live for love?
Do you live for fear?
It's on the other side of life
but it could happen here

[CHORUS]
Maybe too late
Better find some shelter
Maybe it's fate
But it could happen
Will we ever pick up all these pieces?
I look around and all I see is pieces
And if you think that you are free,
Don't be so naive

Catastrophes don't phase you
Make you realize
There's more to life than causing strife
To build and enterprise
Do you live for change?
Or do you live for fear?
History can prove this
And it will happen here

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
Don't be so naive
(no we never have and we never will)
Don't be so afraid
(no we never have and we never will)
Don't be so naive
(no we never have and we never will)
Don't be so afraid
(no we never have and we never will)

[2nd Half of CHORUS]

(Do you live for love?
Do you live for fear?
It's a long way to the bottom
But it could happen here)

Remeber when we were young?
We'd smoke cigarettes behind the store.
Pimpin' beers for fun.
Back then I loved you.

Making you almost cry under Louisiana sky.
Never thought you'd fly.
We all miss you.

What the hell were you thinking?
I can't help you know, Sarah.
Why the hell were you up?
Now you're coming down, Sarah.
...

I know it's been some time
But now you're back I'll try to help.
It seems I wasted time, cause only you can help yourself.

A calm and collected mind.
I talked to your parents yesterday.
It seems they're doing fine.
They're worried about you.

What the hell were you thinking?
I can't help you know, Sarah.
Why the hell were you up?
Now you're coming down, Sarah.

Habits are hard to break.
I don't know how much I can take from you.
I guess that I'll never relate.
I really don't know what to make of you.

We're worried about you.

What the hell were you thinking?
I can't help you know, Sarah.
Why the hell were you up?
Now you're coming down, Sarah.

What the hell were you thinking?
I can't help you know, Sarah.
Why the hell were you up?
Now you're coming down, Sarah.

Been losing sleep around you
Don't know just how I found you
We swam in San Sebastian
Broken necks and halo traction
We swam in San Sebastian...

Hearing something not right in your tone
Got a feeling that you're not quite on your own
I swim in San Diego
Tie these bricks to my legs and let go
Tie these bricks to my legs and let go...

(CHORUS)
Been losing sleep around you
Don't know just how I found you
Been losing sleep around you
Don't know just how I found you
Please. Don't. Leave. (x2)
I swim in San Diego
Tie these bricks to my legs and let go!

So I'll go through this again
Hear you say that we're just friends
I'll drown in a thousand lakes
If it means that you'll miss me

(CHORUS (repeat ending)

The cameras picked you out of this place,
Now you're rising
Lo and behold! Your smile is fake
How surprising
If we could rewind back to your roots,
Admission...
You locked it up and turned the dial
I know the combination

[CHORUS]
Lord knows I'm weak
For trusting you
Lord knows I'm weak
To believe in you

Develop the film and there you are
All your glory
Your negative's dark and just like you
What's the story?
I wanna just rip down the walls and your photos around me
Then there will be nothing left to hold
When I'm lonely

[CHORUS]

Maybe it's alright,
Maybe it's okay
Lord knows I'm weak...

[BRIDGE]
Snap! Take a picture
Cause you won't be seeing me around
No more. Did you ever picture
You and me on the cutting room floor?
I lose my composure every time
You're overexposed and no longer mine
Your red eyes cut me
It's no surprise that I am weak...

[CHORUS]

Maybe it's alright,
Maybe it's okay
Lord knows I'm weak...

I used to think that the end was near
But years gone by and I'm still right here
It alwasy seemed like the day would come
To end my trials and tribulations

Now I'm older and wiser...

[CHORUS]
This could be over in a heartbeat
In the blink of an eye
It's getting closer
To the last time

I used to be such a thief
And wear an ugly disguise
And yes I even believed
In my own alibis

Now I'm older and wiser...

[CHORUS]

[Outro]
Moving over, Getting closer
Moving over, Getting closer
(Sorry if things change [x2])
Never thought I would leave you dear
Always said I would be right here
Moving over, getting closer...

Dog day afternoon
I can see your face
I know you'll get here soon
And we'll leave this place
I would just lay in the mustard seed
And watch you climb the trees
Look for fool's gold in the scary creek
Splash you, cold, and hear you scream

[Pre-Chorus]
No one's here to see us
I'm kinda liking you too
No one's here to believe us
And I don't wanna share you

[CHORUS]
Years gone by and this creek's all dried
Funny little things never work out
Years gone by and this creek's all dry
Funny little things never work out

Monday's came to soon
And you went away
Lord knows I think of you
Every single day
We would just lay in that beat up car
And laugh until we cried
We took our shoes off and went a bit too far
I see it in your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

[CHORUS]

[Pre-Chorus]

[CHORUS]

Years gone by and this creek's all dried
Funny little things never work out
Years gone by and this creek's all dry

Supreme lifestyle
The one I used to hate
The one I used to drive away
My dream stay awhile
I can't concentrate
I pray you never relate
I see your wicked smile
Haunt me all night long
For that I'll dance
And sing this song

(CHORUS)
And when we dance it's a tragic delight
A tragic delight, oh you said it
And when we're lost it's amazing to find
Our way back to life, Oh you said it
Oh you said it

Please, hear me out
I've had time to think
Lost myself down in the drink
My needs are screaming loud
I lost everything
And I want it back overflowing
Where is she
When I'm low?
I don't know but I've been told
Silly old woman still got no soul

(CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)
And I would try for the rest of my days
To make it alright, just to make it okay
But it's not okay
(Ooh it's not alright)

How we gonna make it when we know we're gone?
It's not that hard we just don't get along
Are you gonna hear me if I sing this wrong?
Supreme lifestyle, we just don't belong

(CHORUS)

Supreme lifestyle
The one I used to hate...

This temptation
proves to be too much
And all the avenues explode, yeah
My situation hard to touch
And you don't want me anymore
And I can't take that anymore

This is my mission statement
Just listen and don't negate it
My woman, tis of thee
Sweet land of you and me

[CHORUS]
I don't want your friendship
I'm still wanting more
Why don't we just end it
It's you I can't ignore

This aggravation's got me stuck
And nothing seems to be alright
My imposition's just bad luck
Explosive feelings rage inside
I've got to talk to you tonight

This is our constitution
Just listen without intrusion
My woman, tis of thee
Sweet land of you and me

[CHORUS]

[Chorus Fill]
Yeah eplosive feelings rage
I can't move on and I won't contain
How can you just walk away?
The life we had is now erased

[BRIDGE]
It's like I never had her
And it don't matter
It's like I never had her..

This is my mission statment
(listen baby don't negate it)
This is my mission statment
(listen baby don't negate it)

[CHORUS]
[substitute last two lines of Chorus Fill for last two original lines of Chorus]

...I threw a rock at window
missed and hit the light...

Welcome to the state of emergency
Telepathic pace stresses urgency
I use your head to make you feel intruded
Now no one's useful, and you're polluted

(Pre-Chorus)
What did you think when you entered?
How did you feel?
What did you think when you entered?
How did you feel?

(CHORUS)
Ignore the signs around you
So you don't have to leave
There's always room inside this State of Emergency

(spoken) Welcome to the state of emergency!

Welcome to the state of emergency
Realize the fate of this urgency
A manic journey puts you in my hands
How did you get here? You don't quite understand

(Pre-Chorus)

(CHORUS x2)

(BRIDGE)
Maybe you should have got directions
But now you're here and you know my intentions
Walls go up around your head
This ain't the place that you expected
And when all is said and done
The population will all be gone
I know you from your license plate
Don't forget your in my state
Of emergency

(CHORUS x2)

This repercussion's messing with your ghost
I feel you through the air now
Wish I could tell you that I miss you most
I miss you most, all the time now

(CHORUS)
Sleepwalker miss you much
I can almost feel your touch
It's killing me
And I want it
Sleepwalker miss you most
I can almost see your ghost
Scaring me and I'm haunted

You left me nothing but a broken soul
An empty hole, memories bleeding
And all our friends they say to let you go
But they don't know
You're still breathing

(2nd CHORUS)
Dead or awake, you said you'd always be
Right with me
Asleep or alive you swore you'd never leave
But I can see you

(2nd CHORUS)

And all our friends they say to let you go
But they don't know
You're still breathing...
