2,000 Light Years Away
I sit alone in my bedroom
Staring at the walls
I've been up all damn night long
My pulse is speeding
My love is yearning
And I hold my breath and close my eyes and...
Dream about her
'Cause she's 2000 light years away
She holds my malakite so tight so...
Never let go
Cause she's 2000 light years away
Years away
I sit outside and watch the sunrise
Look out as far as I can
I can't see her, but in the distance
I hear some laughter,
We laugh together
And I hold my breath and close my eyes and...
Dream about her
Cause she's 2000 light years away
She holds my malakite so tight so...
Never let go
Cause she's 2000 light years away
Years away
I sit alone in my bedroom
Staring at the walls
I've been up all damn night long
My pulse is speeding
My love is yearning
And I hold my breath and close my eyes and...
Dream about her
'Cause she's 2000 light years away
She holds my malakite so tight ohh...
Never let go
Cause she's 2000 light years away
YEARS AAWWAAYY!!!!!!!
One for the Razorbacks
Juliet's trying to find out what she wants,
but she don't know
Experience has got her down
Well look this direction, I know it's not perfection,
it's just me...
I want to bring you up again now
Cause' I'm losing what's left of my dignity
A small price I'll pay to see that you're happy
Forget all the disappointments you have faced
Open up your worried world and let me in
Juliet's crying, but now she's realizing love can be
Filled with pain and dis-trust
I know I am crazy,
and a bit lazy
But I will try to bring you up again somehow
Cause' I'm losing what's left of my dignity
A small price I'll pay to see that you're happy
Forget all the disappointments you have faced
Open up your worried world and let me in
Juliet's crying, but now she's realizing love can be
Filled with pain and dis-trust
I know I am crazy,
and a bit lazy
But I will try to bring you up again somehow
Cause' I'm losing what's left of my dignity
A small price I'll pay to see that you're happy
Forget all the disappointments you have faced
Open up your worried world and let me in
Welcome to Paradise
Dear mother,
Can you hear me whining?
It's been three whole weeks
Since that I have left your home
This sudden fear has left me trembling
Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone
Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through
a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome To Paradise
A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
It makes me wonder, why I'm still here?
For some strange reason it now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through
a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome To Paradise
Dear mother,
Can you hear me laughing?
It's been six whole months
Since that I have left your home
It makes me wonder, why I'm still here?
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through
a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome To Paradise
Ohh paradise...
Christie Road
Staring out of my window
Watching the cars go rolling by
My friends are gone
I've got nothing to do
So I sit here patiently
Watching the clock tick so slowly
Gotta get away
Or my brains will explode
Give me something to do to kill some time
Take me to that place that I call home
Take away the strains of being lonely
Take me to the tracks at Christie Road
See the hills from afar
Standing on my beat up car
The sun went down and the night fills the sky
Now I feel like me once again
As the train comes rolling in
Smoked my boredom gone
Slapped my brains up so high
Give me something to do to kill some time
Take me to that place that I call home
Take away the strains of being lonely
Take me to the tracks at Christie Road
Mother stay out of my way of that place we go
We'll always seem to find our way to Christie Road
Mother stay out of my way of that place we go
We'll always seem to find our way to Christie Road
If there's one thing that I need
That makes me feel complete
So I go to Christie Road
It's home...
It's home...
It's home...
It's home...
It's home...
Private Ale
I wonder down these streets all by myself
Think of my future now
I just don't know
Well I don't seem to care
I have to notice that
I'm by your home
I wonder if you're sitting all alone
Or is your boyfriend there?
Because I feel so right
Let my imagination go
Until you're in my sights
And through my veins temptation flows
Whoa hoa...
I'm here...
So I sit down here on the hard con-crete
Think of my future now
I just don't know
Well I don't seem to care
I stop to notice that I'm by your home
I wonder if you're sitting all alone
Or is your boyfriend there?
Because I feel so right
Let my imagination go
Until you're in my sights
And through my veins temptation flows
Whoa hoa...
I'm here...
Whoa hoa...
(Someone mumbling something)
WWHHHHHAAAA!!!
Because I feel so right
Let my imagination go
Until you're in my sights
And through my veins temptation flows
Whoa hoa...
I'm here...
Whoa hoa...
I'm here...
(Again someone mumbling something)
Dominated Love Slave
I want to be your dominated love slave
I want to be the one who takes the pain
You can spank me when I do not behave
Mack me in the forehead with a chain
Cause-I-love feelin' dirty
And-I-love feelin' cheap
And-I-love it when you hurt me
So-drive them staples deep
(Come On)
I want you to slap me and call me naughty
Put a beltsander against my skin
I want to feel pain all over my body
Can't wait to be punished for my sins.
And-I-love feelin' dirty
And-I-love feelin' cheap
And-I-love it when you hurt me
So-drive them staples deep
(Neat, Alright)
(HEEE HAAA, STAPLES)
And-I-love feelin' dirty
And-I-love feelin' cheap
And-I-love it when you hurt me
So-drrrriiiveeee.....staples?
One of My Lies
When I was younger I thought the world circled around me
But in time I realized I was so wrong
My immortal thoughts turned into just dreams of a dead future
It was a tragic case of my reality yhea...
Do you think you're indestructable?
And no one can touch you
Well I think you're disposable
And it's time you knew the truth...
Cause it's just one of my lies
Well, its just one of my lies
And all I want to is get real high
Well, its just one of my lies
Why does my life have to be so small?
And death is forever
And does forever have a life to call its own?
Don't give me an answer cause you
Only know as much as I know
Unless you've been there once
Well I hardly think so
Do you think you're indestructable?
And no one can touch you
Well I think you're disposeable
And it's time you knew the truth...
Cause it's just one of my lies!
Well, its just one of my lies
And all I want to is get real high
Well, its just one of my lies
I used to pray at night
Before I lay myself down
My mother said it was right
Her mother said it too...
Why?
80
My mental stability reaches its bitter end
And all my senses are coming unglued
Is there any cure for this disease someone called love?
Not as long as there are girls like you
Everything she does questions my mental health
It makes me lose control
I wanna hurt myself
If anyone can hear me slap some sense into me
(But you turn your head)
And I end up talking to myself
Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated
(So I lose my head)
Or I bang it up against the wall
Sometimes I wonder if I should be left alone
And lock myself up in a padded room
I'd sit and spew my guts out to the open air
'Cause no one wants to hear a drunken fool
Everything she does questions my mental health
It makes me lose control
I just can't trust myself
If anyone can hear me slap some sense into me
(But you turn your head)
And I end up talking to myself
Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated
(So I lose my head)
Or I bang it up against the wall
I do not mind if this goes on
Cause now it seems I'm too far gone
I must admit that I - enjoy myself
Eighty please keep taking me away
Away...
Everything she does questions my mental health
It makes me lose control
I just can't trust myself
If anyone can hear me slap some sense into me
(But you turn your head)
And I end up talking to myself
Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated
(So I lose my head)
Or I bang it up against the wall
Android
Hey old man in woman's shoes
I wonder if he knows I think he's crazy
When he was young did he have dreams
Of wearing woman's shoes and being crazy?
It makes me wonder when I grow to be that age
Will I be walking down the street begging for your spare change?
Or will I grow that old?
Will I still be around?
The way I carry on I'll end up
Six feet underground
And waste away...
When the old man was in school
Did the golden rule make him go crazy
Or did he hide away from hopes
Be-hind a smile and smoking dope
It's crazy
It makes me wonder when I grow to be that age
Will I be walking down the street begging for your spare change?
Or will I grow that old?
Will I still be around?
The way I carry on I'll end up
Six feet underground
And waste away...
And It seems so frightening
Time passes by like lightning
Before you know it you're struck down
I always waste my time on
My chemical emotions
It keeps my head spinning around
And waste away...
(Somone mumbling something)
It seems so frightening
Time passes by like lightning
Before you know it you're struck down
I always waste my time on
My chemical emotions
It keeps my head spinning around
And waste away...
No One Knows
Why should my fun have to end?
For me it's only the beginning
I see my friends begin to age
A short countdown to their end
Call me irresponsible
Call me habitual
But when you think of me
Do you fill your head with schemes?
Better think again
Cause no one knows
I don't want to cause no harm
But sometimes my actions hurt
Is there something that I should find
To make plans for forever
Call me irresponsible
Call me habitual
But when you think of me
Do you fill your head with schemes?
Better think again
Cause no one knows
Call me irresponsible
Call me habitual
But when you think of me
(Does it seem like all your memories fade?)
Do you fill your head with schemes
(You soak up knowledge to fill the space)
Better think again
(And still my answer remains...)
Cause no one knows
(I don't know)
I don't...
Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?
A thought burst in my head
and I need to tell you
It's news that I for thought
Was it just a dream that happened long ago?
I think I just forgot
Well it hasn't been the first time
And it sure does drive me mad
'Cause when I say...
There's a boy who fogs his world and now he's getting lazy
There's no motivation and frustration makes him crazy
He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting.
Someone help him up or he's gonna end up quitting
I shuffle through my mind
To see if I can find
The words I left behind
Was it just a dream that happened long ago?
Oh well...
Never mind.
Well it hasn't been the first time
And it sure does drive me mad
'Cause when I say...
There's a boy who fogs his world and now he's getting lazy
There's no motivation and frustration makes him crazy
He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting.
Someone help him up or he's gonna end up quitting (Yhea...)
When I say...
There's a boy who fogs his world and now he's getting lazy
There's no motivation and frustration makes him crazy
He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting.
Someone help him up or he's gonna end up quitting
There's a boy who fogs his world and now he's getting lazy
There's no motivation and frustration makes him crazy
He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting.
Someone help him up or he's gonna end up quitting (Yhea...)
Words I Might Have Ate
Now it seems I can't keep my mind off of you
My brain drifts back to better days we've been through
Like sitting on blacktop of the school grounds
The love I bitched about I finally found
But now it's gone and I take the blame
But there's nothing I can do but take the pain
Why?
Now I dwell on what you remind me of
A sweet young girl who sacrificed her love
As for me... I am blind without a cause
And now I realized what I have lost
It was something real that I could have had
Now I play the fool whose stable soul's gone bad
Why?
Tell me what the words I might have said
That's pumping pressure deep inside my head
Was it bad enough to be too late?
Just tell me the words I might have ate
The words I might have ate...
The words I might have ate...
But now it's gone and I take the blame
But there's nothing I can do but take the pain
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Ohh why...?
Why?
Why?
Sweet Children
Sweet young girl so soft and blonde
Doesn't attack but she's been warned
Intoxications in her veins
Sweet young boy plays with her brain
Believing all his fate filled lies
What are your chance not to oblige?
Ability has now been ripped
Take it away, I'd rather sit
Sweet children, sweet children, sweet children
Will never win!!!!!?
Who is Johnny playing fun and games,
or else he's ?in the war ahead?
Running from the light of day,
or maybe lie and celebrate
The funny circus from his head
Follow me if you understand
I'll trick her she'll go and do it
Then I'll sing and now we run
Sweet children, sweet children, sweet children
Will never win!!!!!?
Sweet children, sweet children, sweet children
Will never win!!!!!?
Best Thing in Town
Come with me and let's go for a ride
Follow me to the other side
As I sit around and watch you pout
Cause I know that you're the
Best thing in town -- Best thing around
Best thing in town -- Best thing around
Running wild and always running free
Doing things that I have never seen
Hearing coulors and all I see is sounds
Now I know that you're the
Best thing in town -- Best thing around
Best thing in town -- Best thing around
I'm seeing faces...
Of mysteries of the earth
I am not one ...
But the aggressions of my birth
Or go to stance...
Of hallucinations I can't find
A missing piece...
Of a puzzle that's in my mind
Yhea come with me and let's go for a ride
Follow me to the other side
As I sit around and watch you pout
Cause I know that you're the
Best thing in town -- Best thing around
Best thing in town -- Best thing around
Running wild and always running free
Doing things that I have never seen
Hearing coulors and all I see is sounds
Now I know that you're the
Best thing in town -- Best thing around
Best thing in town -- Best thing around
(Billie mumbling:)
Sick and tired of all this wild SHIT!!
Strangeland
Looking at the clouds in the sky
floating image in my mind
There's a beauty 'round that place
And now I wonder where this place is from
Evidence is everywhere
Now I saw 'em and now I'm scared
Strange beings all around.
Come everyone to this place I've found
I'm feeling phyced
walking? wonder why
All my joys are open
No more crimes
My eyes are clear and now I'm cured
I only wanna be for sure
And all my life someone 'round advised
"As soon rise, scrub your teeth, arise"
See my head and you will find
Mother love from all mankind
From the closet and love this sound
You run away, they say it if you try
I'm feeling phyced
walking? wonder why
All my joys are open
No more crimes
I'm feeling phyced
walking? wonder why
All my joys are open
No more crimes
