TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS

Turn off your mind, relax
and float down stream
It is not dying
It is not dying

Lay down all thought
Surrender to the void
It is shining
It is shining

That you may see
The meaning of within
It is being
It is being

That love is all
And love is everyone
It is knowing
It is knowing

That ignorance and hate
May mourn the dead
It is believing
It is believing

But listen to the
color of your dreams
It is not living
It is not living

Or play the game
existence to the end
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning

DISCONNECTED

Have you ever felt a thunder inside your heart
Holding on to all the shit that¡¯s gonna tear you apart
If you can¡¯t free yourself there ain¡¯t no brand new start
So you gotta let go

I once had a friend who lived in an eastern town
He moved back home and called and started hanging around
But every time I tried to talk to him he¡¯d put me down
So I gotta let go

Nobody knows who you are
Nobody cares who you are
Nobody knows why you feel
Disconnected.

Maybe it¡¯s the way I¡¯m told I ought to look and feel
Maybe it¡¯s because my mind is so easy to steal
That I¡¯m living in a world where nothing here is really real
So I gotta let go

How do I get the fuck out of this place?
How when I look in the mirror do I not see my face?
Can I turn in my membership card to the human race
Cause I gotta let go



Nobody knows who you are
Nobody cares who you are
Nobody knows why you feel
Disconnected.

When I feel like I¡¯m slowly going out of my head
When I¡¯m battling the moments when I wish I was dead
When my mind and body feel like fire and stone
And I know I¡¯m gonna spend all my life alone
That¡¯s when I need to cover up my heart and soul
I only gain perspective when I lose control
Is it better to be crying when you feel insane
Or laughing out loud dancing naked in the rain

Have you ever felt a thunder inside your heart
Holding on to all the shit that¡¯s gonna tear you apart

Nobody knows who you are
Nobody cares who you are
Nobody knows why you feel
Disconnected.

TELL THE GIRL

Uh huh
Thats right
Lets go!

Well it looks like I'm a dumbass I done dropped the ball again
'Cause the woman I love is pissed at me saying this has got to end
Now I tore it up late late last night got way too drunk its true
Can I somehow make it up to her? Is there anything I can do?

You've got to tell the girl you're sorry for anything you ever said
Tell the girl you're sorry for making her wish she was dead
Tell the girl you're sorry for leaving her alone and cold
Tell the girl you're sorry for bein' such an asshole (Asshole)

So she tells me she's getting really really tired of the crap I tend to pull
Like showing up where she works naked covered in baby oil
Now I'm trying really heard trying really hard trying to keep my evil side in check
But sometimes you just gotta kick the cat and deal with what you get

You've got to tell the girl you're sorry for being such a selfish jerk
Tell the girl you're sorry for not caring that the kitty got hurt
Tell the girl you're sorry 'cause the two of you still ain't wed
Tell the girl you're sorry for being suha shithead (Shithead)

I'll say I'm wrong
Will this take long?
No need for you to go on and on
I earn my keep
Just give me peace
I swear I love you
Let me sleep

Break it down
Thats kinda funky
I think it'd be funkier with an organ though
Like that. Thats pretty funky
Now back to the story

It seems that I must appologize even though I think I'm right
'Cause Lord knows honey if I don't there'll be no nookie tonight
So I slowly turn to the woman I love saying 'baby baby baby please'
Then I watch her smile and point to me saying 'get down on your knees and'

Tell the girl you're sorry for everything you never said
Tell the girl you're sorry for giving really lousey head
Tell the girl you're sorry for feelings you can never show
Tell the girl you're sorry for bein' such an asshole (Asshole)

You've got to tell the girl you're sorry - ooohh ohhh ohh ohhh
Tell the girl you're sorry - ooohh ohhh ohh ohhh
Tell the girl you're sorry
Tell the girl you're sorry

FRIENDS

She said let's go
I said hell no
I don't wanna be friends
She said kiss me
I said miss me
I don't wanna be friends
She said love me
I said shove me
I don't wanna be friends
She sat near me
Can't you hear me
I don't wanna be friends
She said trust me
What, so you can bust me
I don't wanna be friends
I think I'm gonna do what I damn well please
'Cause I don't wanna be friends

Maybe there will come a day
When you decide to walk away
But I
Don't
Think
So
Now

She said beg me
What, so you can peg me
I don't wanna be friends
I'm tired of takin' shit that I don't deserve
Cause I don't wanna be friends

She said hurt me
I said squirt me
I don't wanna be friends
Can't you get it through your thick thick skull
That I don't wanna be friends

Maybe there will come a time
When I could probably change my mind
But I
Don't
Think
So
Now

She said need me
I said leave me
I don't wanna be friends
She said love me
I said shove me
I don't wanna be friends
She said let's go
I said hell no
I don't wanna be friends
She said hold me
I said blow me
I don't wanna be
There's no need to be
I don't wanna be friends

SO MUCH BETTER

She's leaving the man that she left me for
Ahhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhh
She's leaving him cause she don't love him anymore
Ahhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhh

So much the better
Better forget her
Big blue eyes and a smile that could kill
So much the better
Better forget her
But I bet he never will
Ahhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhh
Ahhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhh

She's always had trouble finding her way
Ahhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhh
He tries to hold on to memories that die day by day
Ahhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhh

So much the better
Better forget her
When she smiles all time could stand still
So much the better
Better forget her
But I bet he never will
Ahhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhh

Say what you think you're needing to say
Do what you need to do
No matter what anyone has to say
You gotta live with you
With you

I'm watching it all from a distant place
Ahhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhh
I hear how she feels but I've worn that look on his face
Ahhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhh

So much the better
Better forget her
Big blue eyes and a smile that could kill
So much the better
Better forget her
But I bet
So much the better
Better forget her
When she smiles all time could stand still
So much the better
Better forget her
But I bet I never will
Ahhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhh
I never will
Ahhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhh
I never will
Ahhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhh

CAN'T STAY HERE

I broke another heart in Texas
The midnight sky was closing in
The stars all point to California
Yeah she don't know where I am and I don't really care

Because Louisiana gave me no direction
So I pointed to the sun and drove away
The last think I remember I was thinking
Of all the reasons I can't stay here

In the lobby of the hotel
I caught her perfume from the bar
But her lipstick was a strangers
Yeah she don't know where I am and I don't really care

Because Louisiana gave me no direction
So I pointed to the sun and drove away
The last think I remember I was thinking
Of all the reasons I can't stay here

No I can't stay here
No I can't stay here

I've got to save my reputation
Worn out my welcome here
Back on the road to California
Yeah I don't know where I am and I don't really care

Because Louisiana gave me no direction
So I pointed to the sun and drove away
The last think I remember I was thinking
Of all the reasons I can't stay

Yeah Louisiana left me no direction
So I pointed to the sun and drove away
The last think I remember I was thinking
Of all the reasons I can't stay here

I've been waiting
For you to wake up
And realize I was the one
You've been waiting
For me to break up
With you so we could be done

I've been working
For something different
That only we could enjoy
But you've been working
For something different
That only you could destroy

Can't you see the waves crash over your shoulders
Can't you see the sunshine here in my eyes

I don't wanna hear you talkin'
Or fear you when you're stalkin'
You can watch me walkin'
'Cause I'm so much better than that

'Cause I'm so much better than that

Nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah

I've been hopin'
That you would save me
So I could stand and be strong
But you've been hopin'
To drive me crazy
To tell them all I was wrong

I never going to take this anymore
I will not take your hatrid anymore
So you can have your hurt and wear it like a crown

I don't wanna hear you talkin'
Or fear you when you're stalkin'
You can watch me walkin'
'Cause I'm so much better than that

Hear me sayin'
I'll not participate
In all the games you're playin'

INVINCIBLE

I wish to hell I knew someone in Tokyo
I'd call'em right now
Its late here and I'm all alone
I keep thinking that I've got somewhere to go
I don't know how
I'm too tired to find my way home

Close my eyes I'm rememberin'
The way we were back then

We were invincible
It was our time and our day
We were invincible (invincible)
And no one could take that away - huh!

I wish I had a ticket for an airplane
Somewhere unknown
A place I have not seen before
A country with a language I can't even name
Where there's no phones
And no one to call anymore

Close my eyes I'm rememberin'
The way we were back then

We were invincible (invincible)
It was our time and our day
We were invincible (invincible)
And no one could take it away

Time time time plays tricks on you
Time plays tricks on you
If you want it to
If you want it to
Line line line crossings what I do
Thats what I do
To get through to you

Despiration mingles with uncertainty
Night's nearly gone
I hope soon I'll be asleep

Head is spinnin' words are winnin' once again
I thought I heard you say

We were invincible (invincible)
It was our time and our day
We were invincible (invincible)
And no one could take it away

We were invincible (invincible)
Invincible (invincible) We were invincible (invincible)
We thought we were invincible (invincible)
Ha!

BE THAT WAY

I never knew the meaning of the words you'd never say
I never felt your kiss upon my jaw
And everytime he comes around I watch you walk away
In anything you do there's a part of me with you
If I could be your hide away I'd show you something new
And any time you swear you pretend you never care
If I believed what you believed I'd never dare

Why can't you be that way with me
Talk that way to me
Walk that way
Smile that way
Be that way withe me
Why can't you be that way with me
Talk that way to me
Walk that way
Smile that way
Be that waaaaayyyyyyyyy

Once upon a yesterday I stared into your soul
Until I read the truth inside your letters
If I can't try to exceed my grasp then whats a heaven for?
And anything you say you try to run away
If I could be your turn around I'd give you cause to stay
And anytime you swear you pretend you never care
If I believed what you believe I'd never dare

Why can't you be that way with me
Talk that way to me
Walk that way
Smile that way
Be that way withe me
Why can't you be that way with me
Talk that way to me
Walk that way
Smile that way
Be that way with me

(Why can't you) Be that way with me
(Why can't you) Talk that way to me
(Why can't you) Walk that way
(Kiss upon my jaw) Smile that way
Be that way with me
(Why can't you) Be that way with me
(Why can't you) Talk that way to me
(Why can't you) Walk that way
(Kiss upon my jaw) Smile that way
Be that way with me
(Why can't you) Be that way with me
(Why can't you) Talk that way to me
(Why can't you) Walk that way
(Kiss upon my jaw) Smile that way
Be that way with me
(Why can't you) Be that way with me
(Why can't you) Talk that way to me
(Why can't you) Walk that way
(Kiss upon my jaw) Smile that way
Be that way with be that way with
I sweeeeaaaaarrrrrr I... I willlll be thereeee

TROUBLE

I can feel your breath on the back of my neck
As your fingers torture my palms
I can hear your voice whisper me mad
Sayin' relax little boy stay calm

I can hear you simmerin' between your eyes
With every angry word or hurt tear
Slap me with the glove of your true true love
While you teach me the meaning of fear

Here comes trouble
And trouble is all I see
Here comes trouble
But trouble looks good to me

I can taste your mouth beginnin' to purr
Sayin' "Baby's got to have some"
Do to me what you want done to you
Be everything that you need to become

You can watch me shiver at the tip of your touch
You can drive me close to insane
Teach this little guy its ok to cry
While he's learnin' the pleasure of pain

Here comes trouble
And trouble is all I see
Here comes trouble
But trouble looks good to me

Trouble looks good to me....

Do you like my kind of danger
Do you love my kind of style
Am I just another stranger
You'll be bored with after while

Feed me fingers dipped in whipped cream
Let me bite what I can not kiss
Is there anything in this fucked up world
Thats as good or as bad as this

Here comes trouble
And trouble is all I see
Here comes trouble
But trouble looks good to me
Trouble looks good to me
Trouble with a capital T
Trouble looks good to me

SENSELESS

A man come up on the street to me
I wanna protect his privacey
I won't say what he wanted
But I'll tell you what he gave
He gave me the eyes of an actor
He gave me the eyes of a thief
He gave me eyes that used to be
A human being

What did I do? well I did what I could
Could've done more could've done less
It wouldn't have changed what is and what isn't
Its so senseless
So senseless (So senseless)
So senseless (So senseless)

Swimming in rivers of smiling faces
I walked for miles in beautiful places
Doing my best to remember
While trying to forget
All in all I don't mean to complain
When I do its part of the game
Rules are always changing
But its still the same
And what did I do? well I did what I could
Could've done more could've done less
It wouldn't have changed what is and what isn't
Its so senseless
So senseless (So senseless)
So senseless (So senseless)
So senseless (So senseless)
So senseless (So senseless)

Did I get drunk or did I get blind
Is reality just that unkind
I should be wise but anesthitized
Its easie to digestalize
Deny the cries and faaaaa......

A man come up on the street to me
Was a friend of mine in '83
Don't know what he wanted
But I'll tell you what he gave
He gave me the eyes of a stranger
He gave me the eyes of a priest
He gave me eyes that used to be
A human being

And what did I do? well I did what I could
Could've done more could've done less
It wouldn't have changed what is and what isn't
Its so senseless
So senseless (So senseless)
So senseless (So senseless)
So senseless (So senseless)
So senseless (So senseless)

So senseless
So senseless
So senseless

BAD GIRL

Spent a rainy night in South Carolina
Waitin' for the wind to die down
The Atlantic Ocean calls my name
From Myrtle all the way to Charleston
A friend of mine married there a week ago today
Man she's really cute sweetie pie to boot
Strolling arm in arm down the aisle
But me I walk alonnnneeee

'Cause I'm lookin' for a bad bad girl
Someone who would destroy my world
I'm lookin' for a bad girl
And its buggin' the hell right outta me
Who's lookin' for a bad bad man
Who'll make you crazy all I can
If you're lookin' for a bad man
I'll be buggin' the hell right outta you

Now.. I finally made my way to North Georgia Athens
A little hippie place I used to stay
The people in this town know how to tear it down
Who cares if Michael Stipe is straight or gay
All the ladies are jumpin' and howlin' and a screamin'
Man they're really sweet aww they're so petit
Makin' pretty eyes at all the boys
But me I walk alonnnneeee

'Cause I'm lookin' for a bad bad girl
Someone who would destroy my world
I'm lookin' for a bad girl
And its buggin' the hell right outta me
Who'se lookin' for a bad bad man
Who'll make you crazy all I can
If you're lookin' for a bad man
I'll be buggin' the hell right outta you

Alabama Mississippi Louisiana Tennessee
Stirin' up the pot show me what you got
I feel a set of nails on the back of my neck
Darlin'! You must be from Texas

'Cause I'm lookin' for a bad bad girl
Someone who would destroy my world
I'm lookin' for a bad girl
And its buggin' the hell right outta me
Who'se lookin' for a bad bad man
Who'll make you crazy all I can
If you're lookin' for a bad man
I'll be buggin' the hell right outta you

Do you wanna be a bad bad girl
You wanna be a bad bad girl
