I feel so important today and I wish I didn't
I feel so important today and I wish I didn't

[laughs] Was I a little off-key

They painted up your secrets
With the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew

And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming
No one's listening anyway

Your voice is small and fading
And you hide in here unknown
And your mother loves your father
Cause she's got nowhere to go

And she wonders where these dreams go
Cause the world got in her way
What's the point in ever trying
Nothing's changing anyway

They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you're falling anyway

And you know I see right through you
Cause the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming
You're not listening anyway

They painted up your secrets
With the lies they told you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew
And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What’s the point in all this screaming
No one’s listening anyway

Your voice is small and fading
And you hide in here unknown
And your mother loves your father
’Cause she’s got nowhere to go
And she wonders where these dreams go
’Cause the world got in her way
What’s the point ever trying
Nothing’s changing anyway

They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you’re falling anyway
And you know I see right through you
When the world gets in your way
What’s the point in all the screaming
You’re not listening anyway

Could you talk to me
Honestly?
'Cause I never heard a word you said now
And I ain't just being mean
'Cause all we are is what we're told
And most of that's been lies
It's like a made for TV movie
And I just blew my line
Someday you never made it
and maybe it never will
Hey, you never made it
And ain't that unusual?
Now I feel unknown
And it's safe that way
Are you too bored to care or too dumb to be scared now?
What's that supposed to mean?
I'm burned out on some empty reasons
Another waste of time
There's somethin' that I wish I'd said
But I don't think it'd rhyme
Someday you never made it
And maybe it never will
Hey, you never made it
And ain't that unusual?
See I'd love to be you
Then at least then I'd see you
Sorry I put them words in your mouth
But you wouldn't talk to me
Hey!
You're everyhing, I wanna have a try
I'm sick of everything now I'm not
Put my heavy coat on for a while
It's freezing in the corner of my mind
Someday you never made it
And maybe it never will
Hey, you never made it
And ain't that unusual?

Daylight burns your sleepy eyes
Its hard to see you dreaming
You hide inside yourself
I wondered what you’re thinkin’
And everything you’re chasing
It seems to leave you empty
And it won’t take long to burn All eyes on me
Through the nothing that you’ve learned All eyes on me
And the things you choose to be
All eyes on me
But your eyes look away
It’s so hard to be someone
Strung out from today
And all that you knew slips away

You drown in deeper oceans
Inventing new religions
They smile and stab my back
I lie and have to laugh
And it won’t take long to burn All eyes on me
Through the nothing that you’ve learned All eyes on me
And the things you choose to be
All eyes on me
But your eyes look away
It’s so hard to be someone
Strung out from today
And all that you knew slips away

And you hide in your room
And the light burns away
And you move from the truth
It’s all so far from you

Daylight burns your sleepy eyes
It's hard to see you dreaming and
You hide inside yourself
I wondered what you’re thinkin’
And everything you’re chasing
It seems to leave you empty
And it won’t take long to burn, all eyes on me
Through the nothing that you’ve learned
All eyes on me
And the things you choose to be
All eyes on me
But your eyes look away
It’s so hard to be someone
Strung out from today
And all that you knew slip away

You drown in deeper oceans
Inventing new religions
They smile and stab my back
And I lie and have to laugh

And it won’t take long to burn, all eyes on me
Through the nothing that you’ve learned
All eyes on me
And the things you choose to be
All eyes on me

But your eyes look away
It’s so hard to be someone
Strung out from today
And all that you knew slips away

And you hide in your room
And the light burns away
And you move from the truth
It’s all so far from you

And I feel,
All the faint morning light,
Filled with hope ’cause you’re here in my life,
And we’ve gone,
From the edge of our souls,
Made it back to a place we call home.

You, see me through,
I was alone in the dark and the fear was my truth.

Yeah, all the things that you are,
Beautifully broken, alive in my heart,
And know that you are everything,
Let your heart sing and tonight, we light up the stars,
All that you are.

I feel wrong,
I’m so human and flawed,
I break down even though I’m still strong,
And time, will make fools of us all,
Builds us up, and then laughs when we fall.


You, pull me through,
When I’m alone in the dark and the fear was my truth.

Yeah, all the things that you are,
Beautifully broken, alive in my heart,
And know that you are everything,
Let your heart sing and tonight, we light up the stars,
All that you are.

You’re the sound of redemption,
The faith that I’ve lost,
The answers I’m seeking no matter the cost,
You opened the window,
Now I can see,
And you taught me forgiveness by giving your love back to me.

Yeah, all the things that you are,
Beautifully broken, alive in my heart,
And know that you are everything,
Let your heart sing and tonight, we light up the stars,
All that you are.

Yeah, all the things that you are,
Beautifully broken, alive in my heart,
And know that you are everything,
Let your heart sing and tonight,
Let your heart sing and tonight, we light up the stars,
All that you are.

Oh I feel,
All the faint morning light,
Filled with hope ’cause you’re here in my life

I look outside my window
Everything was blanketed in white
The neighbors pushing cars out
From snow that fell on us last night
Started thinking 'bout
The things we used to do when we were young
Back when things were simple
And getting up was fun
I couldn't care, 'cause I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there

Turn around and face the clock
I'd sit and watch, as time went hoppin' by
I'm still growing up
My friends are growing old before my eyes
Count the stars above
Wonder when the heavens will subside
Knowing our two worlds
Will someday just collide
I couldn't care, 'cause I'm already there.
I'm already there, and I'm ready there

Just a boy who's young at heart
His smile was a bit like yours today
Had a wife, a kid, some strife
Never had to go astray
Happiness evolved
Life was in full swing
At 17, all the things he wanted
Were things he'd never seen
It don't seem fair, cuz I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there

Every time you point your finger
3 more point right back at you
I’m not sayin’ that it’s something wrong with life
’Cause that’s a sad excuse
An age old game of rat and mouse
Chasin’ us from house to house
I’m not sayin’ that is something wrong with you
Is wrong with me as well
Are you alive
Amigone
. . .Miracles gone wrong
Is it to late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone
. . .Miracles gone wrong
Is it too late to face the truth that it was wrong
Amigone

Heavenly intoxication
Love’s been marred by medication
Ain’t it funny how a life can take a turn
When the end is near
Are you alive
Amigone
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone
Is it too late to face the truth that it was wrong
Amigone

I’m not sayin’ that it’s something
I’m not gonna play along
I’m not wishin’ for a miracle
That miracle’s gone wrong
And you’re too strong
Amigone
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone
Is it too late to face the truth that it was wrong
Are you alive
Amigone
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive

Happy, smilin', cryin' outburst to my past
I guess those stormy gray skies
simply couldn't last
And now I find myself a-tugging at your dress
The fun of holding you down or seein' you frown
it's never gonna pass

Somewhere there's a place a soul can never go
Gray like stormy skies I hoped you didn't know
All our postcards full of things I won't forget
And now it's coming down,
that laughing clown is all I ever get
Another second time around
I've been runnin' from ya
Another second time around
Another second, one more
second time I waited for ya
Another second time around
Couldn't help myself
I felt like everything was gonna pass
It was an awkward time
I hoped it wouldn't, hoped it couldn't last

And I didn't know exactly what to say
About the things you saw me do my evil way
And I know you're lyin', cryin' in your bed
Well I'm all tired out, so wired now,
it's ringing in my head
Another second time around
I've been runnin' from ya
Another second time around
Another second, one more
second time I waited for ya
Another second time around

Walking over the same old grass
Trying to stay on the beaten path
I don't need to apologize
For the things I don't recognize

Artie, take a look at me
may not wanna think about all the little things
That piss you off about me

Hey there man
I didn't trash your can
But I'll apologize for all the little things
That piss you off about me

Walking over the same ole ground
Thinking bout all the things we found
I don't wanna let it bring me down
I'm up and out of this dirty town

Artie, take a look at me
Might not wanna think about all the little things
That piss you off about me

Walking over the same ole grass
Trying to stay off the beaten path
I don't need to apologize
For the things I don't recognize
Walking over the same ole ground
Thinking bout all the things we found
I ain't gonna let it bring me down
I'm up and out of this dirty town

Yeah, I tried so hard to make it
And then I watched it slip away
And the hardest thing to face
Is the silence and the space
The times I feel so empty through the day

Can we make it through the darkness?
Can we make it through the day?

Calling out for you again
You always guide my way
Calling out for you, you know
You heal these empty days
And it's all because you take me as I am
And it's all because you take me as I am

You know I run to find the answer
But what I need to find is you
And I don't need anything
No, I don't need anything
Because I know you always take me as I am

You know, you get me through the darkness, oh yeah
Yeah, you get me through the day

Calling out for you again
You always guide my way
Calling out for you, you know
You heal these empty days
And it's all because you take me as I am
And it's all because you take me as I am

Beat me gently, beat me slowly, now
Beat me gently, don't you know, I said
Beat me gently, beat me slowly, now
Beat me gently, don't you know
I didn't love you
A million times
But now you love me
And it's a crime

Show my momma, don't you know, I said
Show my momma, how you beat me now
Show my momma, don't you know

There's so much more about you that you never let them see
You turn away
But not to me
And I know how they tried to take you
Held you up and meant to break you down
But you can't be
For so long I tried to reach you
I know I'm almost there
I'm close enough for you to see
You've been hiding in the shadows
Have you forgotten how we used to dream
Let me remind you
The light doesn't blind you at all
It just helps you see
Can you see
Yeah you have become
Yeah you have become beautiful
And I can't be the stranger
That's been sleeping in your bed just
Turn around and come to me
I feel all the pain inside
And everything you been denied you feel
It's all you feel

It helps you see

With no fear where you're from
You have become beautiful

I wandered through fiction to
look for the truth
Burried beneath all the lies
And I stood at a distance to
feel who you are
Hiding myself in your eyes
And hold on before
it's too late
We'll run till
we leave this behind
Don't fall
just be who you are
It's all that
we need in our lives
And the risk that
might break you's
The one that would save
A life you don't
live is still lost
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real till it's gone
Hold on before it's too late
We'll run till
we leave this behind
Don't fall
just be who you are
It's all that
we need in our lives
Live like you mean it
Love till you feel it
It's all that
we need in our lives
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real till it's gone
Hold on before it's too late
Until we leave this behind
Don't fall

It's all that
we need in our lives
And hold on before
it's too late
We'll run till
we leave this behind
Don't fall
just be who you are
It's all that
we need in my life
It's all that
we need in my life
It's all that
I need in my life

And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

And you ask me what I want this year

Ecstasy is all you need
Living in the big machine
Oh you're so vain
Now your world is way too fast
Nothing's real and nothing lasts
And I'm aware
I'm in love but you don't care
Turn your anger into lust
I'm still here but you don't trust at all
And I'll be waiting
Love and sex and loneliness
Take what's yours and leave the rest
So I'll survive
God it's good to be alive
I'm torn in pieces
I'm blind and waiting for you
My heart is reeling
I'm blind and waiting for you

Still love with all your sins
Wher you stop and I begin
And I'll be waiting
Living like a house on fire
What you fear is your desire
It's hard to deal
I still love the way you feel
Now this angry little girl
Drowning in this pretty world
Oh who you run to
Swallow all your bitter pills
That's what makes you beautiful
You're all or not
I don't need what you ain't got

I'm blind and waiting for you
My heart is reeling
I'm blind and waiting for you

Ecstasy is all you need
Living in the big machine now
Oh you're so vain

Nothing's real and nothing lasts

I'm in love but you don't care

Turn your anger into lust
I'm still here but you don't trust at all
And I'll be waiting
Love and sex and loneliness
Take what's yours and leave the rest
So I'll survive
God it's good to be alive

I'm torn in pieces
I'm blind and waiting for
My heart is reeling

Still in love with all your sins
Where you stop and I begin, and I'll

Now this angry little girl
Drowning in this petty world
And I'm who you run to
Swallow all your bitter pills
That's what makes you beautiful
You're all or not

I'm blind and waiting for you

I'm feeling so tired can't understand it
Just had a fortnights sleep
I'm feeling strong, oh, so distracted
Ain't touched a thing all week

I'm feeling drunk, yes I am, juiced up 'n' sloppy
Ain't touched a drink all night
I'm feeling hungry, can't see the reason
Just had a horse meat pie

Yeah, when you call my name
I salivate like a Pavlov dog
Yeah, when you lay me out
My heart is beating louder than a big bass drum

You got to mix it child
You got the fix, this must be love
It's a bitch

Yeah, you got to mix it child


You got the fix, this must be love
It's a bitch, alright

Sometimes I'm sexy, move like a stud
Kick with the girls all night
Sometimes I'm so shy, got to be worked on
Don't have no bark or bite

Yeah, when you call my name
I salivate like a Pavlov dog
Yeah, when you lay me out
My heart is pumping louder than a big bass drum, alright

You know what I want, baby.

I said, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey ('till end)

Wow Baby

Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
You're not thinking about tomorrow
'Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees

A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer

You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallowed the light from the sun
Inside your room

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer

And there's no time left for losin'
When you stand they fall
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
All because I'm
Comin' down the years turn over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go and lead you home and
All because I'm
And I'll become what you became to me

And I'll go on to bring you home and
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me

Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting
In the old man’s bar
Waiting for his turn to die

The cowboy kills the rock star
And Friday night’s gone too far
The dim light hides the years
On all the faded girls
Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world
Like it’s someplace that you’ve been
You see you’d love to run home
But you know you ain’t got one
Cause you’re livin’ in a world
That you’re best forgotten around here
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting
In the old man’s bar
Waiting for his turn to die

You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
You pray to statues when you sober up for fun
Your anger don’t impress me
The world slapped in your face
It always rains like hell on the losers day parade
You see you’d love to run home
But you know you ain’t got one
’Cause you’re livin’ in a world that you’re best forgotten
And when you’re thinkin’ of a joke
And nobody’s gonna listen
To the one small point
I know they been missin’ round here
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting
In the old man’s bar
Waiting for his turn to die

You see you’d love to run home
But you know you ain’t got one
’Cause you’re livin’ in a world
That you’re best forgotten
And if you’re thinkin’ of a joke
And you think that they’ll listen
To the one small point
I know they been missin’ round here
round here

Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting
In the old man’s bar
Waiting for his turn to die

Broadway


Chorus:
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting
In the old man’s bar
Waiting for his turn to die

The cowboy kills the rock star
And Friday night’s gone too far
The dim light hides the years
On all the faded girls

Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world
Like it’s someplace that you’ve been

You see you’d love to run home
But you know you ain’t got one
And you’re livin’ in a world
That you’re best forgotten around here

You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
You pray to statues when you sober up for fun
Your anger don’t impress me

You see you’d love to run home
But you know you ain’t got one
’Cause you’re livin’ in a world
That you’re best forgotten
And if you’re thinkin’ of a joke
Do you think that they’ll listen
To the one small point
I know they been missin’ round here

Do you listen to yourself
Ever live for someone else
Do you like the way you feel
Nothing hurts when no one’s real
She wants to shake this scene
Yeah she wants to shake with me
She’s not looking for the holes in all the lies
I wanna bullet proof your soul
Would you like to lose control
I won’t let you fall until you tell me so
What are we(Watcha wanna be)
Everything(That you wanna be)
All I need(Right in front of me)
I’ve known before
Would you come my way
Or did you burn out on the way
Would you come my way
Should have listened when you called my name

Yeah she wants to tear you down
And she leaves without a sound
It’s like fallin’ backwards Into no one’s arms
You’re a bullet through my soul
and I’ll never let you know
I won’t let you fall until you let it go
What are we(Watcha wanna be)
Everything(That you wanna be)
All I need(Right in front of me)
I’ve known before
Would you come my way
Did you burn out on the way
Would you come my way
Should have listened When you called my name

Would you come my way
Did you burn out on the way
Would you come my way

Said you're burnin' up inside
No one seems to tell

You said you'd light a candle
And you'd say a prayer for me
I feel the light has dimmed and gone
Half the world is begging
While the other half steals
Where did everything go wrong?

Some days I can't believe
Others I'm on my knees
Trying to be heard

I was your anger
And you were my fear
Now that it's over
Of course it's so clear
But you were no angel
And I was no sin
Somehow I can't let it go
I can't let it go again

And half the world is sleeping
While the other half dreams
You close your eyes
And then you're gone
And maybe my intentions
Have been misunderstood
I know you feel so beautifully wronged

Some days I can't believe
Others I'm on my knees
Hoping I belong

I was your anger
And you were my fear
Now that it's over
Of course it's so clear
But you were no angel
And I was no sin
Somehow I can't let it go
I can't let it go again

And laughter is my soul's release
But we're not smiling anymore
Can't we try to win this peace
'Cause we're never gonna win
Never gonna win this war

I was your anger
And you were my fear
Now that it's over
Of course it's so clear
But you were no angel
And I was no sin
Somehow I can't let it go
I can't let it go again

You said you'd light a candle
And you'd say a prayer for me
I feel the light has dimmed and gone
Half the world is begging
While the other half steals
Where did everything go wrong?

Some days I can't believe
Others I'm on my knees
Trying to be heard

I was your anger
And you were my fear
Now that it's over
Of course it's so clear
But you were no angel
And I was no sin
Somehow I can't let it go
I can't let it go again

You close your eyes
And then you're gone
And maybe my intentions

I know you feel so beautifully wronged

Some days I can't believe

But you were no angel

Somehow I can't let it go
I can't let it go again

I wish I had a saxophone
I'd play the blues 'til you came home
With a little sadness in your eye
Now that all my time was spent
In the walk that heaven sent
Thinking 'bout all the nights you cried
Had a certain passion And I had surly dreams
A look of vicious actions
Don't close your eyes to me
Don't close your eyes to me
I wish I had a camera lens
Oh don't close your eyes to me
To film the things my mind had said
Before they reached my mouth and got all bad
Looking at the skies of blue
All day long I think of you
Even after all the shit we've been through
Had a certain passion And I had surly dreams
A look of vicious actions
Don't close your eyes to me
Don't close your eyes to me
Please don't close your eyes to me
Don't close your eyes to me
Close your eyes to me
Close your eyes to me Eyes to me
Close your eyes to me
Close your eyes to me
Close your eyes to me Eyes to me

Come on and show me
Just what you mean to me
Come on and show me
Your curiosity
Come on and tell me
Just what I mean to you
Come on and show me
Just what you are

Come on and hold me
Just like you used to do
Come on and squeeze me
Like I'm in love with you
Come on and show me
I picked out who you are
Come on and blame me
I like it now

Come on and stroke me
Just like you would your cat
Come on and show me
I ain't seen nothing yet
Come on and show me
A just a where I'll go
Come on and show me
I wanna know!

You whispered in my mouth
And I spit you words right back
How good do you think I'll look
When the words start to break and crack
You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
'Cause you know that you're
so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know how
No I don't know how
'Cause you're gone, and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone, and you ain't coming back
You held your hand so close
And I just can't push you away
I wished you could be my girl
But you're stuck in your a grown-up world
You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
'Cause you know that you're
so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know how
No I don't know how
'Cause you're gone, and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone, and you ain't coming back

You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
'Cause you know that you're
so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know how
And I don't know how
'Cause you're gone, and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone, and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone, and I wish you'd come back

You whispered in my mouth
And I spit you words right back
How good do you think I'll look
When the words start to break and crack
You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
'Cause you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know how
No I don't know how
'Cause you're gone, and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone, and you ain't coming back
You held your hand so close
And I just can't push you away
I wished you could be my girl
But you're stuck in your a grown-up world
You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
'Cause you know that you're
so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know how
No I don't know how
'Cause you're gone, and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone, and you ain't coming back

You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
'Cause you know that you're
so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know how
And I don't know how
'Cause you're gone, and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone, and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone, and I wish you'd come back

See me in a different light
And things will be o.k.
Why are you so blind that you
Can only see today

See me in a different space
That you'd expect to see
Leave me to be taken in
By others close to me

See me with a different face
That I've had in my past
Criticize the other jerks
Who make this madness last

I don't remember it doesn't ring a bell
And when you call me everything is swell

I tend to forget about the times we had
And now it doesn't matter 'cause I feel so sad
I've been disconnected
Someone pulled the plug
Oh you're so distant
Nothin's come along, yeah.
We've paid the price and now we're both alone
And if you call me you'll find me home
I've found another someone to take your place
Now if you don't mind please get outta of my face
I've been disconnected
Someone pulled the plug
Oh you're so distant
Nothin's come along, yeah.
Cause, I've been disconnected
Someone pulled the plug
Oh you're so distant
Nothin's come along

You're cynical and beautiful
You always make a scene
You're monochrome delirious
You're nothing that you seem
I'm drowning in your vanity
Your laugh is a disease
You're dirty and you're sweet
You know you're everything to me
Everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are
I wanna kick at the machine
That made you piss away your dreams
Tear down your defenses
Til' there's nothing there but me
You're angry when you're beautiful
Your love is such a tease
I'm drowning in your dizzy noise
I wanna feel you scream
Everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are

Everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are

If you never had it then
You don't know how bad it is
There is nothing like it, well
Needless talk then, I can tell
Here comes the day, I sit and wait
Always, always something
The bills keep coming, the car ain't running
Now I'm coming home again
Another day, oh, the mailman's on his way
Just sit and wait (Dominoes a test of will)
Always pondering my fate too late
And then the day goes (Dominoes)
I borrowed from you yesterday
Little fuss that you have made
No one minds I can tell
Seems I've hit the ones you shall, but
Here comes the day, I sit and wait
Always, always something
The bills keep coming, the car ain't running
Now I'm coming home again
Another day, the mailman's on his way
Just sit and wait (Dominoes a test of will)
Always pondering my fate too late
And then the day goes (Dominoes)
Dominoes are falling still (Oh every day¡ⓒ)
As I know they always will (I sit and wait)
Dominoes a test of will
Dominoes (And then the day goes)

I called you up all night til mornin'
Left my house by noon today, and I saw you standing there
No one spoke, but we both listened
Heard every word you didn't say
And the sun shines all around us
Smells like summer's on the way, and I saw you standing there
Tell the story of a lifetime
Tomorrow brings a brand new day
Don't worry 'bout today, and the words that you said
Don't worry 'bout today, shake the world from your head
Least for a while
You see, the day keeps getting longer
But my nights seem longer still, and my TV's off the air
Watching repeats on my ceiling
Another hour left to kill
Don't worry 'bout today, and the words that you said
Don't worry 'bout today, shake the world from your head
Least for a while

Early on the evening, just about suppertime
Over by the courthouse, they're startin' to unwind
Poor kids on the corner tryin' to bring you up
Willie picks a tune out
and he knows they gonna start

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel tap your feet
...

Johnny hits the washboard, people just gotta smile
Robby thumbs a gut-bass and solos for a while
Poor boy brings the rhythm on his kalamazoo
And Willie goes into a dance doubles on kazoo,
Hey!

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel tap your feet
...

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel tap your feet

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel tap your feet
...

You don't need a penny just to hang around
But if you got a nickel won't ya
lay your money down
Over on the corner there's a happy noise
People come from all around
to watch the magic boy

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel tap your feet

(repeat and fade)

Okay, I'm sleeping and I don't care?
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
And I worked on it with my friend
Back in 1849, times were hard
I think it'd be a sawed-off shotgun
They had a double-breasted jacket on
Nothin' but a problem, nothin' but a problem
New York's gotta problem

Where's our money, money, money, where's our money?
Stop practicing
Dr. Marx and John Lennon
No bull
Stop it!

Extra pale
Oh you’re frail now
I shouldn’t laugh about it
Tragedy sets you free but
I should have known it from the start
I should have known that it was
Just another sequel
Just another reason for you

How’s your day
Did it go your way but
You never ask about it
All the things I wish I’d be I
should have known it from the start
I should have known that it was
Just another sequel
Just another reason for you
Just another sequel
Just another reason for your sighs

Extra pale
Oh you’re frail now
I shouldn’t laugh about it
Tragedy sets you free but
I should have known that it was
Just another sequel
Just another reason for you
Just another sequel
Just another reason for your lies

I'm a fortunate son of a fortunate son
Living large on the wrong side of town
Too many friends and the fun never ends
Drinkin' and hangin' around
I wanna rule the world, wanna swallow it whole
At least I could kick it all down
I wanna kick it all down
Eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
My eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
I don't take the bus and I never walk too far
The furthest I got was my own backyard
With a fist full of cash that somebody else earned
Send me some more when it all got burned
I wanna take control, wanna make it all mine
At least I could kick it all down
I wanna' kick it all down
Eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
My eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
You never ever know
You never ever know
You never ever know
You never ever know
I'll get what I want if I make up my mind
I'm turnin' you inside out
I wanna rule the world, wanna swallow it whole
I think I'll just kick it all down.
I wanna kick it all down.
Eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
My eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
Eyes wide open

Do you know, where you want to go?
I ain't got time for you now
Do you think, that I'll ever be?
'Cause all I ever wanted's so far gone
And if I had my chance, I'd go along
You're making me fall down,
I'm fallin' down again
I wish you could fall down,
Can you catch me darling?
Do you see, what you do to me?
You ain't got time for it now
Do you think, that I'll ever be?

You lie awake at night
With blue eyes that never cry
All you remember now
Is what you feel
The truth remains
In midnight conversations
I asked for this moment
But you turned away
Sad like a lonely child
Broken the day you're born
I held the light to you
But I was so vain
And you remain
A promise unfulfilled
I ask you for more
But you push me away
And if we feel the silence
Holding this all inside
Everything means more now than
Words could explain
And if we feel the silence
Holding this all inside us
Looking for something more to say
I don't know where I'm going
Only know where I been
But you move through my soul like a hurricane wind
We've been so lost for so long
I don't know how to get back again
And we're drowning in the water
That flows under this bridge
When you're fighting the current
You forget how to live
And I wanted to reach you but I don't know where to begin
And you remain
A promise unfulfilled until today
And if we feel the silence
Holding this all inside
Everything means more now than
Words could explain
And if we feel the silence
Leaving this all behind us
When it's gone what will you say
How do we hold on
How do we hold on
How do we hold on
How do we hold on
How do we hold on
You lie awake at night
With blue eyes that never cry

You lie awake at night
With blue eyes that never cry
All you remember now
Is what you feel
The truth remains
In midnight conversations
I asked for this moment
But you turned away
Sad like a lonely child
Broken the day you're born
I held the light to you
But I was so vain
And you remain
A promise unfulfilled
I ask you for more
But you push me away
And if we feel the silence
Holding this all inside
Everything means more now than

And if we feel the silence
Holding this all inside us

I don't know how to get back again

And if we feel the silence
Leaving this all behind us
When it's gone what will you say
How do we hold on
How do we hold on
How do we hold on
How do we hold on
How do we hold on
You lie awake at night
With blue eyes that never cry

Flat top intervention
Bringin' home the new invention
See it there in pieces on the ground

A television war between the cynics and the saints
Flip the dial and that's whose side you're on

Ah, sleeping on the White House lawn ain't never changed a thing
Look at all the washed out Hippie dreams
And it's fallin' all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Fallin' all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while
The tabloid generation's lost
Choking on it's fear
Used to be that's all we had to fear

And conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak
There's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the street.

A visionary coward says that anger can be power
As long as there's a victim on TV
And it's fallin' all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Fallin' all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while
And my dirty dreams all come alive
On my TV screen
And assasination plots
Show me what I haven't got
Show me what I love, and who I'm s'posed to be
Show me everything I need
Show it all to me
Show it all to me
And it's fallin' all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Fallin' all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while

And I’ve had to fight Another blurred affair tonight
Eyelids wrestle once again Never gonna see my friend
Guided by the blinding white
Have you left home in spite Knowing I'm alone tonight
Waiting for the light of day Doesn’t matter anyway
Something that I need to say
And I’ve gone underground Never hangin’ round
Should have made it back again
Why can’t the moon stay full forever
Wednesday’s bad but Friday ain’t much better Someone’s hell
Why can’t the moon stay full forever
Right now she's got nothin’ on her mind
Will this neverland
Free me from its clutching hand It won’t release me
And I’ve gone underground Obsessions I have found
Couldn’t make it back again
Why can’t the moon stay full forever
Wednesday’s bad but Friday ain’t much better Someone’s hell
Why can’t the moon stay full forever
Right now she's got nothin’ on her mind

Oh, the storm is threatening
My very life today.
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

See the fire sweepin'
Our very streets today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

Well, murder
It's just a shot away
Well, murder
It's just a shot away

Brother, sister
It's just a kiss away
Well, murder
It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away

You changed my face,
I think I like it better now
It doesn't matter anyhow,
'cause that's the way it is
You said hello, where the hell you been?
I said I feel like I've been off to war,
and I may never be the same again

I made my bed, but now I can't sleep at night
I'm tossin and turnin you know,
you know it ain't right
I'd love to beg, see, but I'm just too proud
And I don't even know what to say,
so I'm thinking out loud

And when you dream 17
I ain't there, so I don't care
'Cause in all my dreams, I'm 23
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

I lie in my bed,
you're running through my head
Going over and over and over,
the things that you said
I'm caught in the trap,
I'll run like hell right back to you
'Cause I'm sober with you
and you know it beats drinking alone

And when you dream 17
I ain't there, so I don't care
'Cause in all my dreams, I'm 23
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

And when you dream 17
I ain't there, so I don't care
'Cause in all my dreams, I'm 23
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

And when you dream 17

'Cause in all my dreams, I'm 23
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me
She's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

You changed my face, I think I like it better now

If I leave today, got nowhere to go that I can stay
I know what I need, but I won't follow, I can't lead
And when I stood there and I felt November kill
You crushed my heart, and I nearly lost my will
You think you understand the way it made me feel
I started to choke on you, cause I know what you fear

Cause I've had enough, and I don't really need it
Had enough, and I don't really feel it
Had enough, but you really can't see it
But you'll see it for the first time in your life

If you had a brain, you'd be smart enough to change
Watch yourself, the faults all yours blame no one else
And I stood there and I felt November kill
You broke my heart, and I nearly lost my will
You try to understand the way you make me feel
I started to choke on you, and I know what you fear

Cause I've had enough, and I don't really need it
Had enough, and I don't really feel it
Had enough, but you're too blind to see it
But you'll see it for the first time in your life

I don't know what you want
You and your silly stomp
You shave your malformed head
And wish that you were dead
And every single time
you blow your silly mind
With model airplane glue
I don't know who you are
I don't see any prose
You go and get a trick
Then get a pimply dick
And every time you wait
You have to masturbate
Oh, it don't ring true

Wait, don't stop

And now I'm done with this
And it's so vicious
You criticize my view
Then criticize my tunes
But there's just one thing
It's gonna make me sing
Oh, I don't need you

gone away who knows where you been
you take all your lies and wish them all away
I somehow doubt we`ll ever be the same
there`s too much poison and confusion on your face
can you feel it I didn`t mean it can I see you
what are we doin` but ain`t sayin` you don`t know
hold on dreamaway you`re my sweet charade
take your time move yourself to me
yeah I can take your lies until you fall away
you know I`m lost hiding in your bed
no I don`t think it`s wrong it`s just gone to my head
can you feel it I didn`t mean it can I see you
what are we doin` but ain`t sayin` you don`t know
hold on dreamaway you`re my sweet charade
hey whatcha do to me would you come back to me
yeah I can`t do another day I`m not certain of it anyway
I`m not messin` with another life
can I get on without you tell me lies
that you know I need hold on dreamaway
hold on dreamaway you`re my sweet charade
hold on dreamaway you`re my sweet charade
hold on dreamaway hold on dreamaway

You and I got something
But it's all and then it's nothing to me
And I got my defenses
When it comes to your intentions for me
And we wake up in the breakdown
Of the things we never thought we could be
I'm not the one who broke you
I'm not the one you should fear
what do you got to move you daring
I thought I lost you somewhere
But you were never really ever there at all

* And I want to get free talk to me
I can feel you falling
And I wanted to be all you need
Somehow here is gone

I have no solution
To the sound of this pollution in me
And I was not the answer
So forget you ever thought it was me
I'm not the one who broke you
I'm not the one you should fear
what do you got to move you daring
I thought I lost you somewhere
But you were never really ever there at all

* repeat

And I want to get free talk to me
I can feel you falling
I know it's out there
I know it's out there
I can feel you falling
I know it's out there
I know it's out there
Somehow here is gone

Here Is Gone

(John Rzeznik)


You and I got something
But it's all and then it's nothing to me
And I got my defenses
When it comes to your intentions for me
And we wake up in the breakdown
Of the things we never thought we could be

I'm not the one who broke you
I'm not the one you should fear
What do you got to move you darling
I thought I lost you somewhere
But you were never really ever there at all

Chorus:
And I want to get free talk to me
I can feel you falling
And I wanted to be all you need
Somehow here is gone

I have no solution
To the sound of this pollution in me
And I was not the answer
So forget you ever thought it was me

I'm not the one who broke you
I'm not the one you should fear
What do you got to move you darling
I thought I lost you somewhere
But you were never really ever there at all

Chorus

And I don't need the fallout of all the past
That's here between us
And I'm not holding on
And all your lies weren't enough to keep me here

Chorus

And I want to get free talk to me
I can feel you falling
I know it's out there
I know it's out there
I can feel you falling
I know it's out there
I know it's out there
Somehow here is gone

I thought about you just last saturday
My voice got cracked I didn't know what to say
Down in the shade or maybe in the sun
And if you need it I think I got one
Where are you
And what's on your mind
Where are you
Am I wasting my time
Where are you
And what's on you mind?
I just want to know if I'm wasting my time
I snuck out of work to see her smile
I'll hold her hostage for a little while
I wrote a letter I thought I'd let you know
I'm right behind you any time you go
Where are you
And what's on your mind
Where are you
Am I wasting my time
Where are you
And what's on you mind
I just want to know if I'm wasting my time
My mind got busy around 3 a.m. or so
Crawled in you room through the back window
Hoped when you woke up you wouldn't be too mad
I hope I never wake up your old man
- 간 주 중 -
Where are you
And what's on your mind
Where are you
Am I wasting my time
Where are you
And what's on you mind
I just want to know if I'm wasting my time

If I could give you all the things
You've been denied
Would it change you?
Would you feel alive?

But all that's left now are these words
That I've been trying to say to you now
And together we'll get by somehow

And all you ever wanted
Was someone to find
The truth you hide from everyone
Deep inside

Hey ya, hey ya
You're the only one I want
Hey, hey ya, hey ya

And I would drown to save you
From the sinking thoughts you feel
And I love you just the same
So don't you ever feel ashamed

'Cause we all get tired of fighting
Just to feel like we belong
And I know you feel forgotten
But I've been here all along to say

And all you ever wanted
Was someone to find
The truth you hide from everyone
Deep inside

Hey ya, hey ya
You're the only one I want
Hey, hey ya, hey ya

Hey, hey ya, hey ya
You're the only one I want
Hey, hey ya, hey ya

And you hide yourself so deep inside
Will I ever see, ever see you
Now I'm the one who's been denied
But I believe in you, believe in you

Hey ya, hey ya
You're the only one I want
Hey, hey ya, hey ya

Hey, hey, hey ya, hey ya
You're the only one I want
Hey, hey ya, hey ya

You're the only one I want
