This is the day
That I give myself up
The dust of ages
Settles on your days
And so you shake your cloak off
And get on your way
Bloodshot and trembling
A new day has begun
The dust of ages
Settles on your days
And you blow it all away
And get on your way
The dust of ages
Settles on your days
But I'm not fuckin' around anymore
I'm on my way

Everyone loves you
Nobody cares
An awful collection
Of enemies and friends
Congratulations to you
With sad regrets
I'm tired of the old shit
Let the new shit begin
The psychic pain
Of living in this world
Is overwhelming me
Again and again
A beautiful afternoon
Inside you in your bed
I'm tired of the old shit
Let the new shit begin
Nobody loves you
Everyone cares
None of them know what's
Coming 'round the bend
Congratulations to me
Many happy returns
I'm tired of the old shit
Let the new shit begin

Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor
And cry your guts out 'til you got no more
Hey man now you're really living
Have you ever made love to a beautiful girl
Made you feel like it's not such a bad world
Hey man now you're really living
Now you're really giving everything
And you're really getting all you gave
Now you're really living what
This life is all about
Well i just saw the sun rise over the hill
Never used to give me much of a thrill
But hey man now you're really living
Do you know what it's like to care too much
'bout someone that you're never gonna get to touch
Hey man now you're really living
Have you ever sat down in the fresh cut grass
And thought about the moment and when it will pass
Hey man now you're really living
Now you're really giving everything
And you're really getting all you gave
Now you're really living what
This life is all about
Now what would you say if i told you that
Everyone thinks you're a crazy old cat
Hey man now you're really living
Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor
And cry your guts out 'til you got no more
Hey man now you're really living
Have you ever made love to a beautiful girl
Made you feel like it's not such a bad world
Hey man now you're really living
People sing
Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor
And cry your guts out 'til you got no more
Hey man now you're really living
Just saw the sun rise over the hill
Never used to give me much of a thrill
But hey man now i'm really living

I'm gonna tell you what you need to hear
And i'm a little too late
By three or four years
And it may not make much sense
Now that we are apart
But i'm going to stop pretending
That i didn't break your heart
You see i never thought enough of myself
To realize that losing me could mean
Something like the tears in your eyes
And i want to tell you i'm sorry
And it's too late to start
But i'm going to stop pretending
That i didn't break your heart
And it's christmas eve
Years down the line
Sitting here wishing i'd treated you better
When you were mine
And i have no way of knowing where you are
But i'm going to stop pretending
That i didn't break your heart
I didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't know what i was doing
But i know what i have done

Miss o'malley didn't mean what she said
Got a heart but a head full of lead
She can dream but she never can do it
You're alright and you're gonna get through it
People spend their days
Trying to find new ways
To put you down all over town
But they're not fit
To lick your boots
Nothing harder to watch
Than an englishman
Trying to cry
Even if he can
He can dream but he never can do it
Saying you -- you're the one that blew it
People spend their days
Trying to find new ways
To put you down all over town
But they're not fit
To lick your boots

If you see natalie
Send along this message
I know that you've been through
An awful lot of late
Girl,
Steady the trembling hand
That's what you do
Girl,
Steady your trembling hands
Then see what's in front of you
Friends and fortunetellers
They all say you're gonna die
If you don't brighten up
You know you gotta try
Girl,
Steady the trembling hand
That's what you do
Girl,
Steady your trembling hands
Then see what's in front of you
If you see natalie
Send along this message
You may not need this world
But this world needs you here
Girl,
Steady the trembling hand
That's what you do
Girl,
Steady your trembling hands
Then see what's in front of you
You might not feel it now
But you're gonna get there
And see it somehow
Youre gonna be alright, girl

The Feeling of understanding is very rare
For someone like me it's hard to find
Somebody to care
She's got a way about her
Changes everything
She's got a way about her
She's my sweet lil' thing
Making love with her indie rock
Playing on the stereo
Holding hands going down the road
When she drives me home
She's got a magic about her
Makes me want to sing
She's got a magic about her
She's my sweet lil' thing
Spent the day lying in her bed
My nose against hers
Later we went for a drive
Didn't know where we were
Man I never felt so alive
Nobody gets the girl
But baby I do
Nobody gets me either
But she sees through
She's got a glow around her
Shines on everything
She's got a glow around her
She's my sweet lil' thing

Blinking lights on the airplane wings
Up above the trees
Blinking down a Morse code signal
Especially for me
Ain't no rainbow in the sky
In the middle of the night
But the signal's coming through
One day I will be alright again
Blinking lights on the highway cars
Stopping one by one
Get a look at the accident
Didn't see that one coming
And the doctor in the sky
Gonna bring his chopper down
Gonna bring me out alive
And set me on the ground
Once more again
Blinking lights on the airplane wings
Up above the trees

Blue light is flickering
Through the city streets
One billion TV sets
Glowing off concrete
One day closer to death
I know that I don't have too long
Whatever happened to soy bomb
Lunch box collector loves all the pussycats
But when he goes to bed
He wonders where he's at
Thrift store shirts and old haircuts
Living in an old sitcom
Whatever happened to soy bomb
The day is coming when you'll have to think of it
Was it really worth it
All that shit
Blue light is flickering
Through the cloudy sky
On billion lonely hearts
Beat until they die
One day closer to death
I know that I don't have too long
Whatever happened to soy bomb

Dear cousin,
I got your letter
It was more than i thought i deserved
Well she sounds perfect, all i dream of
And i dream about so much it is absurd
But when i get there and she sees me
I'll be impressed if she does not run screaming
My kind of love is an ugly love
But it's real and it lasts a long, long time
I had a thought while i was sleeping
And i dreamed about a place for us to rest
Eternity under the old oak tree
But i go too far i guess
Maybe i'll think about tomorrow
And maybe i can get her to stay that long
'cause my kind of love is an ugly love
But it's real and it lasts a long, long time
And if she finds me so repulsive
She wouldn't be the first to wretch
Well i decided one day long ago
I was never gonna be the greatest catch
And if she cares about the car i drive
Then she can get in hers
The moment i arrive
'cause my kind of love is an ugly love
But it's real and it lasts a long, long time

Was i wrong about the world
It's a beautiful new place
Where else could a creep like me
Meet such a pretty face
Meeting every day with the rising sun
Looking up it's looking like
My losing streak is done
Used to always feel like
Wished that i was dressed better
Never had a lot of luck
Until i finally met her
Feeling like the weight that weighed a ton
Lifted off my shoulders now
My losing streak is done
Always felt like giving in
To the feeling i can't win
But i took it on the chin
Now i'm finally cashing in
Meeting every day with the rising sun
Looking up it's looking like
My losing streak is done
My losing streak is done
I said my losing streak is done
Did you hear me
I said my losing streak is done

I can't live in a world that you have left behind
Seen a lot, been through too much
But this is where i draw the line
It's not where you're coming from
It's where you're going to
And i just wanna go with you
December is a lonely month
In a year of lonely days
It's hard to tell which way is up
Or down or out
Or through the haze
People cheat and people lie
While you just watch it all go by
Counting days until you die
The stars shine in the sky tonight
Like a path beyond the grave
When you wish upon that star
There's two of us you need to save
It's not where you're coming from
It's where you're going to
And i just wanna go with you

I go to bed real early
Everybody thinks it's strange
I get up early in the morning
No matter how disappointed I was
With the day before
It feels new
I don't leave the house much
I don't like being around people
Makes me nervous and weird
I don't like going to show either
It's better for me to stay at home
Some might think it means I hate people
But that's not quite right
I got a dog
I take him for a walk
And all the people like to say hello
I'm used to staring down at the sidewalk cracks
I'm learning how to say hello
Withou too much trouble
I'm turning out just like my father
Though I swore I never would
Now I can say that I have love for him
I never really understood
What it must have been like for him
Living inside his head
I feel like hi's here with me now
Even though he's dead
It's not all good and it's not all bad
Don't believe everything you read
I'm the only one who knows what it's like
So I thought I'd better tell you
Before I leave
So in the end I'd like to say
That I'm a very thankful man
I tried to make the most of my situation
And enjoy what I had
I knew true love and I knew passion
And the difference between the two
And I had some regrets
But if I had to do it all again
Well, it's something I'd like to do

I've got something
Maybe I should tell you
I may check out
At any given time
Things won't get better
Until they get much worse
Is the curse stronger than me
Or am I stronger than the curse
Everyone is scared of me
And I'm scared of me too
Never know just what I'm gonna do
Heads up, kittens
Everything is bad
The sky is dark now
But it's the best dark I ever had
Hang on to a little thing
And let it guide the way
Bring it with you to
Another day
I've got something
Maybe I should tell you
I'm hanging on here
And I'm really gonna try
Things won't get better
Until they get much worse
Am I stronger than the curse
