In an though you wont be perfect you wont be pure And monday asking you Why did you, how could you play me for such a fool
Oh theres no simple answer Oh theres no reason at all
Must have been a beautiful daydream You didnt come home till three Must have a hell of a joyride You didnt wanna think of me Must have been a lot of people Saying you took more then you gave But what do you take to take the pain away
I turned to find the truth The closer i got the farther i got from you Cause i burned myself from you How could you, why did you play me for a fool
Oh theres no simple answer Hey theres no reason at all
Must have been a beautiful daydream You didnt come home till three Must have a hell of a joyride You didnt wanna think of me Must have been a lot of people Saying you took more then you gave But what do you take to take the pain away And what do you take to make it all go away
You tore ever stich You bait and you switch You told me you'd change That you'd change everything Everything
Oh theres no simple answer Oh theres no reason at all And i know i got no simple answer Hey, i'm not blaming you all
Must have been a beautiful daydream You didnt come home till three Must have a hell of a joyride You didnt wanna think of me Must have been a lot of people Saying you took more then you gave But what do you take to take the pain away And what do you take to make it all go away And what do you take to take the pain away And what do you take to make it all go away
I've heard your having the time of your life Wish you were here Having it with me toni
The world is blocked out in the bedroom The radio won't let her down Every note is a reminder Another failure born Thirty miles outside Chicago Kids know what's really going on Still this gravel highway makes a statement We're another town gone wrong Moving out and moving on You used to look like me Moving out and moving on, forever And this autumn air reminds How things slowly unwind Changing times have been unkind to you As these days they slip away We grown closer to our graves Had the best time of my life, without you It's three month since I've seen Chicago Now the buliding aren't so tall I found our initials in the pavement Just another dream gone wrong I bet it's simplier today Throwing everything away But the memory remains, Forever
Popped up this morning just a little off center God fearing world, I'm so afraid to enter Haven't decided what to do Looking back, looking over my shoulder Still agnostic, every day it gets older Haven't decided what to do Holy books, so many flaws no answers Believe in him, or fear him like a cancer Haven't decided what to do Bible banging, slanging Jesus at my door Hey son, this is something you can't afford Haven't decided what to do Oh, give me somethign to believe So many down on their knees It baffles me, baffles me Popped up this morning like nipples in the winter God fearing world, I'm so afraid to enter Haven't decided what to do After life, after death uncertain Choose your side before they're dropping the curtain Haven't decided what to do Where do I go for my inspiration Go with the flow, with the standing ovation Haven't decided what to do Standing idle, waiting for doomsday Damned if you do, damned if you don't say Haven't decided what to do Learned my lesson from history I'm not claiming to be Jesus Christ and company I am needy, I'm a thief I'm not claiming to have role model qualities But here's a lesson, Simplicity From a poor boy who don't believe in destiny Be good to one another, set yourself free All the pieces they fall together
I don't need your advice I am the device That you are living through
How long can this last It's all in the past And I am living proof
Chorus You gave it away, Maybe I'm not old enough You gave it away Maybe I wasn't cool enough You gave it away Maybe you weren't there enough There enough Fuck it, come on
The greatest device Branches collide The overcast agrees
The rotten fruit That you prosecute is leaving the family tree
Chorus
You plant the seed Then you take control Your grip has taken its toll
If it's happening, then it's happened to more than you Hesitate to call you back, thirty-first and rent's due If it's happening, then it's happened to more than you What is it, what's haunting you? Now you're blaming all your friends again Dead broke and dodging the heat Now you're blaming all your friends again Here's my last smoke, just hit me back If it's happening, then it's happened to more than you You got your second DUI, again the lawyer's got to save you If it's happening, then it's happened to more than you Your choices are choosing you Don't feed me your excuse again Again if it's happening, then it's happened to more than you I know you saw your mother die, can't imagine how that hurt you If it's happening, then it's happened to more than you Stepmother stepped over you Now you're blaming all your friends again Dead broke and dodging the heat Now you're blaming all your friends agian Here's my last breath, just hit me back
I left you in the morning Still drunk on melodrama, You're so pretty so natural but I had to salvage honor . Down your spiral staircase The television I bought you, Took a deep breath Of your endless love perfume.
The carnage that the storm left Six inches on the ground The south side of Chicago Stands eerily so sound.
I looked up at your window Hand out as if to touch you; You used to be so perfect Why did I ever meet you?
Forty five steps to the liquior store Just another breakdown that I can't afford but Can't worry about tomorrow's pain tonight Alright
Forty five minitues it will all be gone I'll be strapped to the tap like nothing's wrong but Can't worry about tomorrow's pain tonight Alright
These days, these nights are so ordinary Smoke filled room conversation slow Just leave me alone with the radio Can't worry about tomorrow's pain tonight Alright
End of the tunnel couldn't light my path Souls warring down still running fast but Can't worry about tomorrow's pain tonight, Alright
Possessions never make good friends You can throw it all away Freedom is the race to your new beginning Possessions never made much sense Confessions never made much sense to me These days, these nights are so ordinary
It's getting quiet here again For a minute let's pretend When I disapear the world stops turning Getting hassled by my friends They're telling me I'm changing for the worse Another episode I'm still pretending I'm growing tired of holding out Another open road it's never ending time Here's to you, the good life and me Here's to handshakes and losers, medicine and gasoline Here's to you the good life to be The dial tones, the misery and me All the questions are the same Won't you question who's to blame Or ask me when my fire stops burning Throwing more than just the game Spitting back my answers well rehearsed
You started it off, break out the ammunition If not enough, you point at my friends Grabs the keys and tells me she's out of patience And tells her friends what a loser I've been The walls go up, the telephone is waiting To get shut off, if it happens again I've been building up or just been overrating Time and my sanity spent I don't wanna stand here and say I'm sorry I just want to drink beer and play Atari You can tell your mom how I make my money I don't care Well, later on my clothes are in the front yard The tapes I made are all in a mess I got to laugh thanks for the new selection I got your dad's John Tesh I don't wanna stand here and say I'm sorry I just want to drink beer and play Atari You can tell your mom how I make my money I don't care The world outside is cold, man, it's gone forever I get high, in hindsight it's getting better Save your breath, your threats won't hurt me And I don't care Beautiful, twisted and beautiful I'm wasted and miserable Take it away
