Point the blame.
Picture frame. Playing by the rules that's why you're losing the game. I think I heard it through the walls in the bathroom stalls, Or maybe in my yesteryears hanging out in the halls. We've got the rythym wrong. It sounds just like a Phish song "Please her with a tweezer, I'll stick it in the freezer." So, brother say what you want. I never know what you want from me. I'm moving up, moving on. So, say goodbye, because I won't say goodbye to you. Point the blame. Picture frame. Playing by the rules that's why you're losing the game. Point the blame. Windowpane. Losing because you're playing by the rules of the game. Somebody said it once before. But I'm really not too sure. Who it was, and where it was, and why I'm so insecure. We've got the rythym wrong. It sounds just like a Dead song "Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile, smile." So, brother say what you want. I never know what you want from me. I'm moving up, moving on. So, say goodbye, because I won't say goodbye to you. Point the blame. Picture frame. Playing by the rules that's why you're losing the game. Point the blame. Windowpane. Losing because you're playing by the rules of the game. Running around and thinking about, I can't wait to figure it out. Policeman coming, so I'm running away. Badboy coming, so I'm running away. Richboy coming, so I'm running away. Point the blame. Picture frame. Playing by the rules that's why you're losing the game. Point the blame. Windowpane. Losing because you're playing by the rules of the game. Point the blame. Picture frame. Playing by the rules that's why you're losing the game. Point the blame. Windowpane.

You're always there with me. Looking in the mirror. It's much clearer now. I hear you now. It echoes in my ears, "I can change, but do I want to?" Nevermind. Everytime. What you say? When you want it? Find myself inside myself and no one else can find it for me. Find myself all by myself and no one else can find it for me. (x2) Find myself, by myself! It takes some time. Too much time with you. I don't know what to do. Taking time is wasting time and I'm not wasting away mine. Someone is telling me, yelling and selling me to their whole crew. Rendez-vous. It takes some time. So don't bother me. You don't like what you see. Looking in the mirror. It's much clearer now. I hear myself it echoes in my ears, "I can change, but I don't want to!" Fine the way I am. I can change, but I choose not to. It takes some time. But my watch is gone and all my clocks are wrong. So I don't have the time to change. (I can't change for you.) Or anyone. I think I'm enough fun the way that I am and I'm finding new friends and I'm not gonna not gonna change who I am. Find myself inside myself and no one else can find it for me. Find myself all by myself and no one else can find it for me. Find myself, by myself! |

Pick you up in the suburbs tommorow
we won't tell they won't follow pack your bags put all your trust in me Never had a gun to his head that's what he said So I shot him dead with a vengeance that his daughter fed 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 (ohhhhhhh) What goes around comes around (ohhhhhhh) Your father is also your pain I love you and for us I'll shoot him down No remorse got no time to look back Cop is on our trail and were driving in a topaz Stuck in no mans land between the body and mind "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 Tiajuana Drown our shame and start our lives again in California (Shoot him down) Shoot him down for all the nightmares (ohhhhh) What goes around comes around (ohhhhhhh) Your father is also your pain I love you and for us I'll shoot him down Next thing I know I'm all alone in a motel no explanation no letter goodbye I can't promise much, but I do promise this I promise to find you so I can remind you I love you and for us I'll shoot him down |

Another fucking day

Staring out the window of another fucking train. (CHORUS) We're walking arm to arm. I won't follow. Arm to arm. I won't lead. Arm to arm. Beside me until tomorrow. Arm to arm. You're walking arm to arm with me. I'm feeling kind of homesick when I smell the old pine tree. I felt you in the breeze, I close my eyes, it's not so easy for me. Once or twice, three times a charm. We were walking arm to arm. I wanted that for so damn long, but now it's gone. I've never been so wrong. Drop me a line. Tell me everything that I've been missing. Won't you drop me a line. Tell me where you're gonna be when I get home. 2000 years more won't end this war, my brother. Half empty, half full. You're pushing, I'm pulling. woooooah woah oh oh wooah oh oh Back in '96, sometimes I sit and reminisce. ook the train to Hoboken, I didn't know it then, but that is when I found my place outisde this so-called structured life. Married to my only love and music is my wife. (CHORUS) |

She falls fast asleep, in her Glassboro apartment, dreaming of what she wants to be. So she just organizes photographs she's taken in this year that's past, loves nothing more, adores her memories. Does she miss any kiss, that I placed upon her lips. Does she have a photograph of me at all? That day she walked away. I turned my head and didn't pay attention, said California is my final fall. Last time I saw her was the first time that I saw her cry. She had a boyfriend and a tattoo of a butterfly. Biology, photography ambition, was enough for her to leave me. I swore I'd find on the other side. Bloomfield Ave. I'm sick of pickin' through the dumpster. A meal. I hold a gun but I can't feel it to my head, hum a song, say goodnight, it's all wrong. It's alright. I close my eyes and take a bite, bite, bite. Close my eyes and take a bite, bite, bite. Close my eyes and take a bit.
(CHORUS)Another thing I should've said, light another cigarette, another thing I left behind ashes to ashes we all fall down. I'm homeless on the west, she's on the east. I only wish that I could see her one more time. To remind her that I love her and I shot him down. Now she's in that crazy town again. Hitchhike my way across the states. I'm banging on the door. She's passed out on the floor. Sawed off shotgun by her side, no one heard her cry. My tears roll down the wood of our old neighborhood. I saw her through the window but I didn't have the strength to knock it down. Down. Down. Didn't have the strength to knock it down. Down. Down. Didn't have the strength to knock it down. |

One year ago today i tossed away
A quarter that i should have saved I faked a farewell fantasy and misbehaved I never made an effort My conscience went after all the time a spent Dollars that i dropped on you Thought you'd say you missed me too So here i am, a friend, in the end i meant To disregarded 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. I always laughed when you laughed Cried when you cried, danced when you danced I lied, laugh when you laugh Cry when you cry, dance when you dance I lied San Francisco pay-phone. 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 a time 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. I always laughed when you laughed Cried when you cried Danced when you danced I lied Laugh when you laugh Cry when you cry Dance when you dance I lied I lied I lied I lied I lied |

I just said I love you to a girl I haven't seen since December, I remember, she was close enough to me. Now I'm growing up and throwing 'round some words to reassure, that I'll always love her, because I loved her once before. And I don't care cuz I'm backed into a corner, and lifen's not fair, so I'm breakin' all the rules. Day by day don't walk away. "you've got a good thing going on," I tell myself it's like throw it all away or stick around. Around away with it I don't wanna stay with it. Pass it on. Be strong, hold on, not long ago and every day is the same thing, tomorrow is the same thing. I hold my head in my hand. (CHORUS) Everything that I do, everything that I say, everything that I am, everything seems so wrong. Am I dramatic or am I empathizing with myself? If it's selfish, I don't want it, but I know it too damn well to forget it. Forget it. I don't want it anymore, and I just said I love you to a girl I loved before.

If I could stay mad enough maybe
I'd leave but you have to understand this runs twenty-two years deep. Everyone wants it all. Everyone needs a place. You can destroy or you can create. All I know is all that I know and I know we all just beguile the time. But it all catches up and it's all so fucked up. Only time will tell. Common ground can't be found from atop a hill looking down. Look around. Take me to sleep. Put me to weep. Can't you see that you've given your souls up for keeps? We send in poor people to fight other poor people. We send in our brothers and sisters and daughters and sons. There is no difference. We send in to kill while we sit on our asses and watch green screens infotain all day long. It hits like a ton of feathers. Oh, how it echoes. Oh, when it echoes. |

You said you would always be there for me,
You said you'd always be in my life, Now you're chasing dragons instead. They told me I was chasing the moon. I should have listened up, I'm a fool. A fool tangled up in your web. Chorus: All for the taste of some wine stained lips Two hundred miles just to get my fix. This shouldn't be, you're bringing me down and I need to get some sleep. Nine miles to happiness. I know because I've been there before. Nine miles to happiness. I got something to live for. Please tell me old friend, Did you find what you were looking for? I would like to tell you I'm so happy without you I could die Chorus It seems that I can't count all the roads that I've been down. It seems that I can't count all the towns that I've drowned in and burned to the ground Oh what a find when I found this place So full of style and second hand love so incredibly cheap. I stayed for nine months and I stayed for nine weeks. Nine miles to happiness. I know because I've been there before. Nine miles to happiness. I got something to live for. |

She wanted me to tell you to leave.
She wanted me to let you know that you don't understand her, she just needs some time to breathe. She couldn't have told you better herself cuz she was in love with somebody else. I don't know why I had to be the messenger boy. I guess that somebody was me. Don't know what you got till it's gone. Don't know what you did so wrong. Don't know what you got till it's gone. Don't know why you did it so wrong. She wanted me to tell her my fears. She wanted me to let it all go. I don't know why I said it. I just can't trust anyone, I knew she was true. I never liked the sound of being alone much. Just one touch to help with the coldness. Persuasion was a trait the she held in her hand when she took mine, and I understood then. Don't know what you got till it's gone. Don't know what you did so wrong. Don't know what you got till it's gone. Don't know why you did it so wrong. and I did you wrong. You said I was just like him, but that's where you're wrong. He never wrote you a love song. It seemed like no sooner than I got my feet on the ground, the words slipped away. and baby, I hear you. know what you're saying and I feel it too. You've got something I've never had. The kind of love I can sing about and you're hearing me now, hear me now. |

Broken homes as far as the eye can see.
Bird's eye view: An ocean surrounded by cubicles and fast food restaurants with nothing but standard utility vehicles and smog in-between. No one knows who is in control but underneath them lies a bottomless pit. Everyone clings to the sides and they use one another to reach the crown of it. It's getting oh so dark in here now. He's grabbing at my ankles. I'm grabbing at his. Don't let go! Until all that's left of dreams of Venus. The appendix of a system that doesn't need us. One machine tells the other not to feed us. They only want more. We only want more. We're all getting nowhere confused. Which way is up? Which way is down? I'm falling down. I wonder which moment I decided to care? Decided to wear the burdens of thousands of years. We all live life like the sun and the moon fucking in the afternoon. The light it doesn't get through but it gets by. One machine tells the other not to feed them. They only want more. We only want more. Just let go. Please don't feed the machine. |

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. Go ahead and ask me how long I can keep this up. Oh yeah, I though forever. Divine was I inside and out. Imagination and creative wealth but all the time a stranger to myself. What its like to be young. What its like to have somethign so strong. So inoccent, so confident, a sugar-coated essence kissed by a grain of salt. Regression to ignorance sounds like bliss to me but Im looking back. This time I'll find my own. I've played this tune so many times i know I'll find my way back home. Divine am I inside and out but all the time just a stranger to myself. |

The whole set of lyrics
Come on in and take a load off. Pull yourself up a chair so we can have a talk. Has it really been that long? And how did we get so old? What's the problem man? You seem a little cold. Let's take a walk. I don't care where we end up. We'll have a rap about nothing and never shut up. And I can rhyme up with up when I damn well please and it's no bother. I'll end this verse with ease. I can't believe you're still mad about that! I can't believe you're still living in the past! I can't believe you haven't figured out yet... Figured out that... Life's obnoxious. This I know. When'd you get so serious? How'd you get so cold? Life's obnoxious. This I know. When'd you get so serious? How'd you get so cold? How did you get so… cold? Come on in and take a load off. Pour yourself up a drink and leak it out the top. Has it really been that long? And how did we get so old? What's the problem man? You seem a little cold. I can't believe you're still mad about that! I can't believe you're still living in the past! I can't believe you haven't figured out yet... Figured out that... Life's obnoxious. This I know. When'd you get so serious? How'd you get so cold? Life's obnoxious. This I know. When'd you get so serious? How'd you get so cold? How did you get so… I miss you more than you'd ever let me let you know! I miss your face like all those days that I just can't replace! I can't believe you're still mad about that! I cant believe you're still living in the past! I cant believe you haven't figured out... Figured out that... Life's obnoxious. This I know. When'd you get so serious? How'd you get so cold?

I love you.
I miss you. Forgive me my ineptilude. And I will change my attitude. I'm whinning and pining for sweet embraces never known. A harvest from a seed unsown. Time is on my side and I understand my life. Make a choice to move onward. But I admit I can't commit and I will not decide. Dim light shines brightly in pitch black. Bright enough to find my own way back. Push forward or you might lose your chances. Or take less with me. Regress with me. And savor true romance. Come take a walk with me but if you do there is no turning back. |

To forget 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 And I dance for the light of the stars in the sky And sleep all alone tonight One for my headaches, 2 for the road 3 for my family and 4 for the show 5 for my sorrows, 6 for my wrongs 7 to hell with this song Hey (hey), drink it all away I said hey (hey), drink it all away And I dance for the light of the stars in the sky And sleep all alone tonight Well everyone feels the need to belong Everyone feels the need for a cause The forces of nature are naturally strong But where's the effect? where's the effect? Hey (hey), drink it all away I said hey (hey), drink it all away Hey (hey), drink it all away I said hey (hey), drink it all away And I dance for the light of the stars in the sky And sleep all alone tonight Yeah, I dance for the light of the stars in the sky And sleep all alone tonight |

I don't like who I am, I can change. I can change. It takes some time. In your factory. If there's a recipe. Just tell me what to do and I'll slowly rearrange. It takes some time. So bare with me. You're always there with me. Looking in the mirror. It's much clearer now. I hear you now. It echoes in my ears, "I can change, but do I want to?" Nevermind. Everytime. What you say? When you want it? Find myself inside myself and no one else can find it for me. Find myself all by myself and no one else can find it for me. (x2) Find myself, by myself! It takes some time. Too much time with you. I don't know what to do. Taking time is wasting time and I'm not wasting away mine. Someone is telling me, yelling and selling me to their whole crew. Rendez-vous. It takes some time. So don't bother me. You don't like what you see. Looking in the mirror. It's much clearer now. I hear myself it echoes in my ears, "I can change, but I don't want to!" Fine the way I am. I can change, but I choose not to. It takes some time. But my watch is gone and all my clocks are wrong. So I don't have the time to change. (I can't change for you.) Or anyone.

Saw it on the television, heard it on the radio. This in truth, is not yet the end. Bus station, it's 4 a.m. Took a taxi to the city. Matt Ball left. Looking too familiar and I don't know how to feel. Not a penny in my pocket. I'm a stranger. Wanna get home. Spare some change, sir? Wanna get back home. Wanna get back home. 40 miles across the Hudson. Those train tracks. Get back. Can you smile? Here's another joke. Have you got another smoke? I'm broke. Sounds good, but I don't know.
(CHORUS) I don't know but it sure sounds good to me. I don't care because I still don't know. The way it is, the way it was, the way it's supposed to be. I don't know but it sure sounds good to me. I heard this city never sleeps. I heard this city never sleeps, but its eyes are half-closed. Not a passerby. Babycry. I suppose, that I'm selfish. Stuck and I don't give a fuck. Twenty one. Morning comes. I've heard and had enough. I have no friends It hurts so much to be alone. I wish this night would fucking end. I close my eyes and dream of home. (CHORUS) I wish this night would fucking end. I close my eyes and dream of home. |

Sick and sad again
Sometimes I'd like the rain to end Sick and sad again Sometimes I'd like to stand on my own two feet Went to the corner of second and main And there was someone there who mentioned that they hoped That it would rain forever, forever, So they could drown in peace. Went down to the hodskin p.l. But there was nobody to answer when I rang The doorbell forever, forever so now I'm sad all the time. Sick and sad again. Sometimes I'd like the rain to end. Sick and sad again. Sometimes I'd like to stand on my own two feet. Today was the day but she threw it all away And I could never understand 'Cause she was never one to play by the rules of the game Her and me we're so the same I try so hard and I never give in And I am never satisifed until the day that I win against them But I don't care I'll follow her to anywhere. (But I don't care, I can fade away to anywhere- don't stop 'cause you might get dropped) |

Mostly I'm an optimist,
bore my bad news and still persist goin on about my problems say, what's wrong with our world today? It may sound funny, but I'd give you all my money, and keep on going without a doubt. I never thought I would make it this far, stumbling between every nightclub and bar. Every time I seem to catch my big break, the man call me up says there's been a mistake. Who can I count on? What can I count on? Where should I turn to? Why should I be with you? It may sound funny, but I'd give you all my money, and keep on going without a doubt. The good times playin, sayin life is good, it could be better, don't you dare go ahead and give out. From day to day I could get so depressed, but I've never paid someone to be oppressed in my life when shit hits the fan, I simply sit back and follow the plan. It may sound funny, but I'd give you all my money, and keep on going without a doubt. The good times playin, sayin life is good, it could be better, don't you dare go ahead and give out.

but you'll never run away from yourself. I know it's hard but you've been then before and you know you're gonna be there again. I don't care what the stars may say because they always feed their bullshit to me.

I said Hey Sergio, it's getting kinda hot in here. i said Hey Every other day you don't care what they say because they always leave you two steps behind. You try to smile and it lasts for awhile but they always send you back to the start. Eenie meenie miney mo they shoot down everyone you know and then they leave you there all alone. You wish they'd stop but they never give up and you know deep inside that you're stuck and so I say: (chorus) Hey Sergio, it's getting kinda hot in here.

10 o'clock I was gonna write a letter
but at 1 o'clock is when I opened up my eyes. 3 o'clock turned into 5 o'clock. I watched the day pass me by. 6 o'clock I was changing through the channels. And at 8 o'clock the stationary called my name. 9 o'clock the time I stopped impossible that day I didn't speak. Dear loving friend I meant to write should've but the time just wasn't right. Some things I'd rather leave unsaid and I'm sorry that I did. So here's a letter that I never sent with all the words I never said. I never wanted you to leave but you left said I never wanna hold you back but I want to hold you back. I never wanted you to leave but you left said I never wanna hold you back but I want to hold you back. Sincerely yours. |

Broken homes as far as the eye can see.
Bird's eye view: An ocean surrounded by cubicles and fast food restaurants with nothing but standard utility vehicles and smog in-between. No one knows who is in control but underneath them lies a bottomless pit. Everyone clings to the sides and they use one another to reach the crown of it. It's getting oh so dark in here now. He's grabbing at my ankles. I'm grabbing at his. Don't let go! Until all that's left of dreams of Venus. The appendix of a system that doesn't need us. One machine tells the other not to feed us. They only want more. We only want more. We're all getting nowhere confused. Which way is up? Which way is down? I'm falling down. I wonder which moment I decided to care? Decided to wear the burdens of thousands of years. We all live life like the sun and the moon fucking in the afternoon. The light it doesn't get through but it gets by. One machine tells the other not to feed them. They only want more. We only want more. Just let go. Please don't feed the machine. |

we won't tell they won't follow pack your bags put all your trust in me Never had a gun to his head that's what he said So I shot him dead with a vengeance that his daughter fed 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 (ohhhhhhh) What goes around comes around (ohhhhhhh) Your father is also your pain I love you and for us I'll shoot him down No remorse got no time to look back Cop is on our trail and were driving in a topaz Stuck in no mans land between the body and mind "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 Tiajuana Drown our shame and start our lives again in California (Shoot him down) Shoot him down for all the nightmares (ohhhhh) What goes around comes around (ohhhhhhh) Your father is also your pain I love you and for us I'll shoot him down Next thing I know I'm all alone in a motel no explanation no letter goodbye I can't promise much, but I do promise this I promise to find you so I can remind you I love you and for us I'll shoot him down |

Another fucking day
it's still a nine to five, I swear. I don't want to reach the top. I don't want to be a millionare. I know that it may sound crazy, but it's driving me insane. Staring out the window of another fucking train. (CHORUS) We're walking arm to arm. I won't follow. Arm to arm. I won't lead. Arm to arm. Beside me until tomorrow. Arm to arm. You're walking arm to arm with me. I'm feeling kind of homesick when I smell the old pine tree. I felt you in the breeze, I close my eyes, it's not so easy for me. Once or twice, three times a charm. We were walking arm to arm. I wanted that for so damn long, but now it's gone. I've never been so wrong. Drop me a line. Tell me everything that I've been missing. Won't you drop me a line. Tell me where you're gonna be when I get home. 2000 years more won't end this war, my brother. Half empty, half full. You're pushing, I'm pulling. woooooah woah oh oh wooah oh oh Back in '96, sometimes I sit and reminisce. ook the train to Hoboken, I didn't know it then, but that is when I found my place outisde this so-called structured life. Married to my only love and music is my wife. (CHORUS) |

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. I still remember that day, like the day that I said that I swear, "I'll never hurt myself again", but it seems that I'm deemed to be wrong, to be wrong, to be wrong. So i've got to keep holding on... they always played a slow song. When they come for me, I'll be sitting at my desk, with a gun in my hand, wearing a bulletproof vest. Singing "my, my, my, how the time does fly, when you know you're going to die by the end of the night." I still remember when we were young and fragile then. No one gave a shit about us because times were tougher then. Feeling so good, cruising the hood; straight into the real world, rich kids never understood. But I don't care. I can fade away to anywhere. Don't stop because you might get dropped and if you do who's going to pick you up. Well I won't... they always played a slow song. When they come for me, I'll be sitting at my desk, with a gun in my hand, wearing a bulletproof vest.

You, you try, you try to get by.
"You're never going to pull it off", "You shouldn't even try" "You're a wet cigarette", "You're always second best", but they're never going to give a shit about anybody but themselves. So you fight for them to realize; there's more to life, there's more to you, there's more than meets the eye. And when you're done, the battle's been won. You sit back, you smile and this is what you hum, you hum: ....12341234.... The years go by, the time it does fly. Every single second is a moment in time that passes oh, so quick and it seems like nothing, but when you're looking back, well it amounts to everything. I've got myself. I've got my friends. I've got my little family, but that's not where it ends. This one goes out to you, it goes out to everyone. It's in the name of honesty because life has just begun. .... 12341234.... Look around little brother, Can you tell me what you see? You're a big boy now, so take responsibility. You never had it hard, but now it's getting tough, so you whine, whine, whine and you say you've had enough. You say i'm full of shit That i'm a hypocrite I shouldn't talk, when i can't take the advice that i give? Well maybe you're right, but open your eyes: the main difference here is that i try, try, try. |

Sick and sad again
Sometimes I'd like the rain to end Sick and sad again Sometimes I'd like to stand on my own two feet Went to the corner of second and main And there was someone there who mentioned that they hoped That it would rain forever, forever, So they could drown in peace. Went down to the hodskin p.l. But there was nobody to answer when I rang The doorbell forever, forever so now I'm sad all the time. Sick and sad again. Sometimes I'd like the rain to end. Sick and sad again. Sometimes I'd like to stand on my own two feet. Today was the day but she threw it all away And I could never understand 'Cause she was never one to play by the rules of the game Her and me we're so the same I try so hard and I never give in And I am never satisifed until the day that I win against them But I don't care I'll follow her to anywhere.

Not long ago in my high school days
I watched a girl from so far away And everytime she passed me by I turned my head away and quietly sighed. And when she walked by her hair would dance, a secret tango that only I could understand and if she asked for the time of day I'd look her in the eyes and quietly say: Chorus: Oh,Kristina Kristina Do you have any clue who I am? hell no) So listen up because I'll tell you once and I'll explain myself the best that I can. Oh,Kristina Kristina You don't know me so I'll have to persist. I'm kind of shy so don't wonder why Kristina she don't know I exist. From class to class I followed her, but I swore I'd leave her undisturbed and if she ever stopped by and turned around I got so nervous and I stared at the ground. And then one day in photography I foud a contact print that I could not believe and there she was staring back at me so I took her home so quietly. Chorus: Kristina Kristina Do you have any clue who I am? hell no) So listen up because I'll tell you once and I'll explain myself the best that I can. Oh,Kristina Kristina You don't know me so I'll have to persist. I'm kind of shy so don't wonder why Kristina she don't know I exist. 1.17.98 it's been a day that I've come to hate. As I walked into the video store there she stood as my jaw fell to the floor. Tapping her toe, and waiting in line, with a movie and another guy Why did I bother? Why did I care? About this girl named Kristina BEHR? Kristina Kristina You'll never get to know who I am.(your loss) So this is goodbye so please don't cry and I'll let you down as softly as I can. Oh Kristina Kristina another name to cross off my list. In another life it could have been nice but Kristina she won't know what she missed. (short ending instrumental) |
