The Blue Album
My
Name Is Jonas
My name is Jonas
I'm carrying the wheel
Thanks for all you've shown us
And this if how we feel
Come sit next to me
Pour yourself some tea
Just like grandma made
When we couldn't find sleep
Things were better then
Once but never again
We've all left the den
Let me tell you 'bout it
The choo-choo train left right on time
A ticket cost only your mind
The driver said "hey man, we go all the way"
Of course we were willing to pay.
My name is Weepel
I gotta box full or your toys
They're fresh out of batteries
But they're still makin' noise
Tell me what to do
Now the tank is dry
Now this wheel is flat
And you know what else?
Guess what I received
In the mail today
Words of deep concern
From my little brother
The building's not goin' as he planned
The foreman has injured his hand
The dozer will not clear its path
The driver swears he learned his math
The workers are goin' Home!
No
One Else
My girl's got a big mouth
With which she blabbers a lot
She laughs at most everything
Whether it's funny or not
And if you see her
Tell her it's over now
I want a girl who will laugh for no one else
When I'm away she puts her makeup on the shelf
When I'm away she never leaves the house
I want a girl who laughs for no one else
My girl's got eyeballs
In the back of her head
She looks around and around
You know it makes me sad to see her like that
Please don't believe her
She says that for anyone
And if you watch her go...
Watch her, watch her, watch her, would ya?
The
World Has Turned And Left Me Here
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place an empty space
has filled the void behind my face
I just made love with your sweet memory
One thousand times in my head
You said you loved it more than ever
You said
You remain, turned away
Turning further every day
I talked for hours to your wallet photograph
And you just listened
You laughed enchanted by my intellect
Or maybe you didn't
You remain, turned away
Turning further every day
Do you believe what I say now?
Buddy
Holly
What's with these homies, dissin' my girl?
Why do they gotta front?
What did we ever do to these guys
That made them so violent?
[Woo-hoo] But you know I'm yours
[Woo-hoo] And I know you're mine
[Woo-hoo, and that's for all time]
Oo-ee-oo, I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh-oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don't care about that
Don't you ever fear, I'm always near
I know that you need help
Your tongue is twisted, your eyes are slit
You need a guardian
[Woo-hoo] And you know I'm yours
[Woo-hoo] And I know you're mine
[Woo-hoo, and that's for all time]
Oo-ee-oo, I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh-oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don't care about that
I don't care about that
Bang! Bang! A knock on the door
Another big bang and your down on the floor
Oh no! What do we do?
Don't look now but I lost my shoe
I can't run and I can't kick
What's a matter babe are you feelin' sick?
What's a matter, what's a matter, what's a matter you?
What's a matter babe, are you feelin' blue?
Guitar Riff
Matt: [...and that's for all time]
Brian: [...that's for all time]
Oo-ee-oo, I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh-oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don't care about that
I don't care about that
I don't care about that
I don't care about that
Undone
- The Sweater Song
I'm me
Me be
Goddamn
I am
I can
Sing and
Hear me
Know me
If you want to destroy my sweater
Hold this thread as I walk away
Oh no
It go
It gone
Bye-Bye
Who I
I think
I sink
and I die
If you want to destroy my sweater
Hold this thread as I walk away
Watch me unravel I'll soon be naked
Lying on the floor, I've come undone
If you want to destroy my sweater
[I don't want to destroy your tank-top]
Hold this thread as I walk away
[Let's be friends and just walk away]
Watch me unravel I'll soon be naked
[Hate to see you lyin' there in your
Superman skivvies]
Lying on the floor, I've come undone
[Lying on the floor, I've come undone]
Surf
Wax America
The sea is foaming like a bottle of beer
The wave is comin' but I ain't got no fear
I'm waxin' down so that I'll go real fast
I'm waxin' down because it's really a blast
I'm goin' surfin' cuz I don't like your face
I'm bailin' out because I hate the race
of rats that run around and 'round in the maze
I'm goin' surfin', I'm goin' surfin'!
You take your car to work
I'll take my board
And when you're out of fuel
I'm still afloat
My buddies and their honies all come along
They seem invincible as they surf along
The sea is rollin' like a thousand pound keg
We're goin' surfin', goin' surfin'
You take your car to work
I'll take my board
And when you're out of fuel
I'm still afloat
All along the undertow is strengthening its hold
I never thought it'd come to this
Now I can never go home
All along the undertow is strengthening its hold
I never thought it'd come to this
Now I can never go home
You take your car to work
I'll take my board
And when you're out of fuel
I'm still afloat
All along the undertow is strengthening its hold
I never thought it'd come to this
Now I can never go home
You take your car to work
I'll take my board
And when you're out of fuel
I'm still afloat
You take your car
I'll take my board
You take your car
I'll take my board
Let's go!
Say
It Ain't So
Somebody's Heine'
Is crowdin' my icebox
Somebody's cold one
Is givin' me chills
Guess I'll just close my eyes
Oh yeah, alright
Feels good, inside
Flip on the tele'
Wrestle with Jimmy
Something is bubbling
Behind my back
The bottle is ready to blow
Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a lifetaker
I can't confront you
I never could do
That which might hurt you
So try and be cool
When I say
This way is a waterslide away from me
That takes you further every day
So be cool
Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a lifetaker
Dear Daddy, I write you
In spite of years of silence
You've cleaned up, found Jesus
Things are good or so I hear
This bottle of Stevens
Awakens ancient feelings
Like father, stepfather
The son is drowning in the flood, yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a lifetaker
In
The Garage
I've got the dungeon Master's Guide
I've got a 12-sided die
I've got Kitty Pryde
And Nightcrawler too
Waiting there for me
Yes I do, I do
I've got posters on the wall
My favorite rock group Kiss
I've got Ace Frehley
I've got Peter Criss
Waiting there for me
Yes I do, I do
In the garage
I feel safe
No one cares about my ways
In the garage
Where I belong
No one hears me sing this song
In the garage
I've got an electric guitar
I play my stupid songs
I write these stupid words
And I love every one
Waiting there for me
Yes I do, I do
In the garage
I feel safe
No one cares about my ways
In the garage
Where I belong
No one hears me sing this song
Holiday
Let's go away for a while
you and I
To a strange and distant land
Where they speak no word of truth
But we don't understand anyway
Holiday
Far away
To stay
On a Holiday
Far away
Let's go today
In a Heartbeat!
Heartbeat!
Heartbeat!
Don't bother to pack your bags
Or your map
We won't need them where we're goin'
We're goin' where the wind is blowin'
Not knowin' where we're gonna stay
Holiday
Far away
To stay
On a Holiday
Far away
Let's go today
In a Heartbeat!
Heartbeat!
Heartbeat!
Heartbeat!
Heartbeat!
We will write a postcard
To our friends and family
In free verse...
On the road with Kerouac,
Sheltered in his bivouac,
On this road we'll never die...
Heartbeat!
Heartbeat!
Let's go away for a while
you and I
To a strange and distant land
Where they speak no word of truth
But we don't understand anyway
Holiday
Far away
To stay
On a Holiday
Far away
To stay
On a Holi..
Let's go away!
Let's go away!
Let's go away!
Let's go away!
Only In Dreams
You can't resist her
She's in your bones
She is your marrow
And your ride home
You can't avoid her
She's in the air
In between molecules
Of Oxygen and Carbon dioxide
Only in dreams
We see what it means
Reach out our hands
Hold on to hers
But when we wake
It's all been erased
And so it seems
Only in dreams
You walk up to her
Ask her to dance
She says "Hey, baby
I just might take the chance"
You say "It's a good thing
That you float in the air
That way there's no way
I will crush your pretty toenails into a thousand pieces"
Only in dreams
We see what it means
Reach out our hands
Hold on to hers
But when we wake
It's all been erased
And so it seems
Only in dreams
Only in dreams...
