Back in 1992

It was…Two years after New Kids hit the charts
six years after Madonna stole my heart
It was TLC on the radio…and
”Stop - Hammer time”

Chilli peppers sure could rock
and Kiedis made the covers with the help of a sock.
I turned down sports for Faith No More
while Slash fed his snakes with blonds from the tour

Jeremy spoke in the class today
when the smell of our youth got portrayed.
By the man with the voice and pain inside
ah, fuck that shit, rest his soul - Nevermind

In my shoes there were room to grow
So I got real high after a Pumpkins show
Sure as hell I miss my past
and when I think of it now I smile relaxed

(Chorus)
We listened to “Would?” and made out in the car
I took the shit when your dad found out
You were my first one and you gave me your heart
I gave you mine...
It was 1992...

And I learned all the songs on cheap guitar
and sat in my room and looked at the stars
wondering if wedder had lost it for real
and if Miss Sharon Stone wore panties in the scene

It all made sense with Body Count
the first one to speak were the words came out
And I sang along to “it's a shame about Ray”
when I found you - I got laid... I got laid...

(Chorus)

I see your face in everyone I meet
And I can still smell your smell from across the street
And though you remind me of other girls
You were the only one in my world

And it's
Oh so scary
Ordinary
Things seem to change
For the worse at 24
I'm not a boy anymore

And if I only knew what to do
Then maybe I would mean more then what's underneath your shoe
I swear, swear, I really miss your friends
Can't someone please wake me up?
Let me start live n' stop pretend

Cause this shit is...

Oh so scary
Ordinary
Things seem to change
For the worse at 24

I'm not a boy anymore

Oh so scary
Ordinary
Things seem to change
For the worse at 24

I'm not a boy anymore

The record company wants a hit so I told them this:
See my fingers they're your money in the shape of a fist
I send you all my medical bills from the stress
And it's ok if they get paid before the printed date

The record company wants a hit so they told me this:
Lose your temper, don't be angry and verbally pissed
Think more about disco you know chart toppers sell
I signed their paper ? Suck my dick, sincerely yours - go to hell

(Chorus)
I don't want you
To want me
To want you
To like me
I don't want you
To want me
To want you
To love me
Please don't let them turn me into something else
then the pathetic little shit I am…all if this for a hit

The record company wants a hit so we agreed on this:
To disagree on those little things that matter to me
Don't give a damn about the tension I bring
So don't waste your time on me

We live in a castle of sand.
We let our will be your command
We're use to storm and rain
We don't care for one, we're all the same

We know where to go when the night too bright
We stay up until dawn in the pail moonlight
Trust us like you never trusted no one before…

We greet you hand in hand
There's always room in a castle of sand
We want you in our home
Come stay us, come stay with us make it your own...home

Don't wanna be a guy
Who gets a dog at 25
To cure my loneliness
From the girl I thought I had
And in a fucked up state
In different world in a far out place
I made a huge mistake
And I fell in love
And told it to her face
And she then told me that she loved me
But she didn't
She just thought the words
Were nice and fitting
Mmmm, this hope somehow she fell for me
And the apple in my eye
Turned out to be
Sorry and stinking and full of shit
And now I'm proud of myself
For putting up with it

Life just sucks
I lost that girl
It's all messed up
It really hurts
And where's my dog
I need you more than ever
Life just sucks
I lost that girl
She told my friends
That she found someone
And where's my dog
I need you more than ever
Still it was the best I ever had

Don't wanna be a guy
Who gets a dog at 25
To cure my loneliness
From the girl I thought I had
And on a phone to me
She said well there's this guy I see
I guess you call it quality
Can't you please put up
A smile for me
She told me that she loved me
But she didn't
She just thought the words
Were nice and fitting
Mmmm, this hope somehow she fell for me
How the apple in my eye
Turned out to be
Sorry and stinking and full of shit
And now I'm proud of myself
For putting up with it

Life just sucks
I lost that girl
It's all messed up
It really hurts
And where's my dog
I need you more than ever
Love just sucks
I lost a girl
I told my friends
I bet she found someone
And where's my dog
I need you more than ever

Still it was the best I ever had
Cause girls are such a drag
Still it was the best I ever had
Cause girls are such a drag
Still it was the best I ever had
Cause girls are such a drag
Still it was the best I ever had

Cherry, I know I’ve been stupid and blind
You possessed me all the time
I know that you’ve got some one on the side
Feels so good to leave this shit behind

So now I stand here with the thumb in the air and
Some cars stop and some folks stare
Feels like it was meant to be
I know you doubt it but ...Just wait and see...

It all starts today I’m going to head my way
Roadtrippin through the US of A
It all starts today I’m going to head my way
Roadtrippin my sorrows away...


Hang around with the boys
Boys will be boys
Get drunk with the girls
Girls will be girls
On an island in the sun
We rule the world
And nothing’s gonna stop us - Nothing’s gonna change
We live forever trippin our lives away...


My backpack's heavy but I don't care
Snakes and spiders is all I fear
A big shout out to liberty
From the top of Pacaya - Chica, baila con migo!

I got travellers checks and a picture of mom
In cases I get lost and never found
Lust filled words in my diary
I rule this world - this trippin is for me

It all starts today I’m going to head my way
Roadtrippin through the US of A
It all starts today I’m going to head my way
Roadtrippin my sorrows away...

Hang around with the boys
Boys will be boys
Get drunk with the girls
Girls will be girls
On an island in the sun
We rule the world
And nothing’s gonna stop us - Nothing’s gonna change
We live forever trippin our lives away...

It's a different kind of love
With you by my side
It's a different kind of life
Cause we were fucking all the time
And I'm never feeling bored
Even though you're far away
You make me a believer
With the words that you say

Cause she rules the the school
My babe she rules the school
Cause she rules the school

And when I'm feeling down
She brings it up
She tells me that she likes me
And that she never stops
And then she gives me head
She does it without shame
She tells me that she likes it
And could do it over and over again

Cause she rules the the school
My babe she rules the school
Cause she rules the school

It's a different kind of love
With you by my side
It's a different kind of life
Cause we were fucking all the time
And I'm never feeling bored
Even though you're far away
You make me a believer
With the words that you say

Cause she rules the the school
My babe she rules the school
Cause she rules the school

Come on up
And stay a little longer!

You
You are
The most
Beautiful thing
In this world

And
No words
Can ever kill
Me like yours, kill me like yours

You leave me as
Sorry sorry sorry as I'll ever be
That you've turn into somebody else, somebody else

You
You are
The most
Beautiful thing
In this world

You
You don't walk
Baby float, float, float
Above everybody else

You leave me as
Sorry sorry sorry as I'll ever be
That you've turn into somebody else, somebody else


It's the first words we promised
The first words we said
And to look out for each others best
It's the silence that kills me
The words you don't say
What come unspoken - I still hear
What comes unspoken - Makes me run away

There's some days when I can't stop to thinking of you and what we've been through
I tell my mind to let it go but it's pissed at me and it's ready to blow
So I masturbate to the pictures in my head, memories from Spain when you were beautiful and naked
And if we could fuck for hours we'd do and we made it last in the afternoon...

So why did you give yourself to somebody else - Why?
Why did you give yourself to somebody else - Why?
And it's to see you that hurt me the most
To know that someone else has touched you
And it's to see you that hurt me the most
To know that I meant nothing to you...

We had our arguments and some "pros" and "cons" on the list we made of all our love
Why the birds and the bees, why the wind bends the trees, why we stop and why we breath
We had passionate sex for most of our days, relaxed and slow and in funny ways
When you came you screamed my name and you made me a king for several days...

So why did you give yourself to somebody else - Why?
Why did you give yourself to somebody else - Why?
And it's to see you that hurt me the most
To know that someone else has touched you
And it's to see you that hurt me the most
To know that I meant nothing to you...
