I once had a friend who
Met an early end to
A kind of modern way of thinking
He wasn't taken from us
Yeah, he's still among us
But he lived for drugs and drinking
He liked to point the finger
His accusations linger
A deeper part of every action
He loved to play the game where
He'd disperse the blame for
Every deep dissatisfaction
Easy to bitch, easy to whine, easy to moan, easy to cry
Easy to feel like there ain't nothin in your life
Harder to work. harder to strive, hard to be glad to be alive
But it's really worth it... if you give it a try
He once told me how he
Couldn't wait to beat me
So he could take what I was tellin
He said, They don't give a damn it's
All a master plan for
Us to buy what they are sellin
chorus
If I sound above it
I can't sit in judgement
Cause I ain't sure where I'd be sitting
These are all my problems
Lord I've tried to drop em
Cause this ain't how I should be living
chorus

Tonight I thought the cops were at my window
And it felt like bugs were running thru my hair
And it felt like everyone could see right thru me
But I'm too paranoid to care
I get high
Don't know why
And I feel as though I'm falling from the sky
I know it shows
I know it shows
You can see right thru my head down to my toes
And I know it shows
Well I might as well just throw away my halo
Cause the way I feel is written on my face
And the angel on my shoulder says she hates me
Then she disappears without a trace
chorus
Well I always think my girlfriend's out to get me
My manager says that everything is ok
My father keeps on telling me I'm stupid
But I figured out that everyone's this way
(top)
There's a shiver in my thighs whenever you're around me
And it fills me with an ache that circles and surrounds me
There's an angel in your smile, a demon in your kisses
If I gave you all my heart you'd send it back in pieces
Everything ya do's gonna come back to you
Everything you say's gonna turn on you (in some way)
Everything you've done's gonna bit you back (in some way)
Everything you do's gonna come back to you
There's a darkness in your soul demanding imperfection
And every finger that you point will turn in your direction
I hate the way i love you and i love the way you hate me
When you can barely tolerate me
chorus
Try to figure why you always seem to
Find another fault of mine you can scream to
Kicking me, pushing me, biting me, bruising me
Putting me and keeping me down
It's always this and it's always that
And it's always something else
But anything you do to me
You ultimately do to yourself
There's a shiver in my soul each time you try to break me
If I don't run you'll drive me crazy
chorus
(top)
Tina says don't talk to me like I am deaf and dumb
We've broken down and broken up so much that I am numb
Talk about, don't shout about, the people we've become
There's a little girl who's crying over here
Michael says don't shout at me like I was born a fool
You speak of love and scream of love now dare to treat me cruel
Nothing's fair in love and war so please let's make some rules
There's a little boy who's crying over here
Did you ever know me
I swear that I have tried
Did you ever need me
I feel like I have died
Did you ever want me
I swear that I have tried
How do you tell someone you don't love them
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore
Tina says the pictures that we took are put away
Inside a box of memories for cold and rainy days
Poems in pencil rhyming with the things you'd never say
There's a little girl who's crying over here
Michael's old engagement picture's in a wooden box
His wooden heart is tough as nails and solid as a rock
Keeps himself protected with a combination lock
There's a little boy who's crying over here

Fighting makes me tired (in my eyes)
Crying makes me tired (there's a spy)
Hurting makes me tired (hold me tight)
Lying makes me tired
Fighting makes me tired (in my eyes)
Crying makes me tired (there's a spy)
Hurting makes me tired (hold me tight)
Lying makes me tired
Tina says I wish that I had never seen your smile
Your name is written on my soul in alphabetic file
All I've got's my dignity so I will leave in style
There's a million of us crying over here

Anytime I talk to you there's no one listening
Everytime I reach for you there's no one there
Everytime I look for you, you're nowhere to be found

A wave of my hand and a red faced smile
Invisible man has been here all the while
He put me in my place
He really put me in my place
This lesson's stranger every day
The undertaker never knew me anyway
Now it's written on my face
It's really written on my face
I'm always leaving, but I never go away
Help me pack my bags and I'll ride
I'm always leaving, but i never go away
Don't you know love that I've tried
Just like whispers from the well
The bartender rings me like a bell
Leave a message just in case
Leave a message just in case
chorus
Same dream every day
Same dream every day
Same dream every day

Everybody loves Jill
Everybody loves Jill
She's got a red heart
She wears on her red sleeve
She drinks her red wine
With her favorite red cheese
(and that's why)
Everybody loves Jill
Everybody loves Jill
Everybody loves Jill
She's got a red house
To go with her red boat
She's got a red dress
That she wears with her red coat
chorus
Sometimes the whole wide world demands her
Even the people who can't stand her
She drives a red car
Rides in a red hat
She's got a red dog
That plays with her red cat
(meow)
She's got a red light
That lights up her red room
She eats her red cake
With her favorite red spoon
(and that's why)

Never saw it coming
Can't believe everything he said to you
Getting hurt is nothing new
It's something that we sometimes do
Put away your sorrow
Try your best to try to find yourself again
You might be scared to start, but then
Beginnings only come from ends
If I could breathe your breath
If I could hold your smile
If I could dry your eyes
If only for a little while
Then you might see me here
Hoping to hold your hand
Wanting to be your world
Marianne
He never did deserve to find the joy
Growing in your secret heart
A life within I did not start
The kind of love that can't be bought
Ya gotta keep believein
All the things that make you who you want to be
The part of you the world can't see
That part of you that sets you free
chorus
So if you need to take all the time to
Discover who is waiting behind you
I'm right here behind you

You bit my neck when I try to kiss you
And slap my face when I say I've missed you
Now I have lived through all this before
And I don't plan to take anymore
So if you want to walk out the door
Then let me hold it open for you
I've taken more than I'm going to take
You've broken more then you're going to break
So if you want to make this mistake
Then let me hold it open for you
I've got to wonder why did you choose me
You say you love me just to confuse me
chorus
I'm the one who kept your world afloat
Had the sense to hpe for a better way of life, but
This is how you pay me back
With your sly attacks and the subtle
Ways you bring me down
chorus
(top)
Say what you want, but don't slap me if I don't
Become the very thing you thought you always wanted
I can beg for a squeeze, I can drop to my knees
But I can only drink your kiss when I'm defeated
Cos' I'm a red-blooded All-American Man
I'm a red-blooded All-American Man
Say that I'm bad, say I'm the worst you've ever had
Say that I'm no more than a boy in daddys clothing
Make me behave, make me want to be your slave
Make me desperate for the lack of love your showing
chorus
Your trying to tell the world that I should thank you
You think I'm hanging around for this well I'm not
Your daddy ain't the only one who spanks you
So come on now and show me what you got
Make me forget, make me want to lick your sweat
Make me scrub the dirty places when your bathing
Let me be fooled, let me think I make the rules
Cos' there must be something here that I'm craving
chorus

Don't give a damn what anybody thinks of what I do
I've got my share of shit and that aint really nothing new
Don't hold me back cuz baby I can do without you, too
And I feel like I'm a livewire
My hands and feet are on fire
Get out of my way
This ain't the time or place to tell me what I shouldn't say
Like I'm going to listen to your bullshit anyway
Feeling like a man on a desperate mission
Tended and regarded with tension and suspicion
So tired of work when all I really wanna do is play
chorus
Don't give a damn what anybody thinks of what I've done
While you were nice and happy I was out having fun

Dance with wind and danced with fire
Killed the truth and called it a liar
Bleeding in it's mystery and the moon begins to fall
Dreamers are not all they seem
Sleeping in their silent dreams
She locks it all inside and hides it all away
China, China
Calling out to your history, is that the way its supposed to be
China, China
Questions right in my hand and then
Answers gone til I don't know when
All you speak and all you hear
Hand that's strong and voice that's clear
And unforgettn memory and the moon begins to fall
Called you right and called you wrong
Time that shadow sings your song
Don't lock it all inside and hide it all away
chorus
(top)
I never thought that they could blind you, they could grind you
And turn you into someone else
I never thought that I would find you
So I tried to look inside to find myself
You never thought that I'd believe you, though I'd leave you
To face your worries all alone
You only wanted them to need you
So you'd never have to spend a night alone
Well take a chance and run to me, run to me, run to me
Find it deep inside yourself and run to me
We'll see everything there is to see
Why do they always try to blame us, try to shame us
For things we never do or say
I swear to God they'll never tame us
Cuz I never really liked them anyway
chorus
I don't plan on stickin' around, for this world to kick me down
Theres so much out there waiting for us
I'm kinda tired of asking why, you barely live until you die
Well hold on tight cuz its on hell of a ride
