Electra Made Me Blind
Shake that dust from the small town
I turn and follow the western wind down
Go and pack up my shiny things
And go, yeah just go
I'll find a new life in only LA
Yeah, stupid happy with everything
I pull myself down so easily
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know
Met Electra when livin down
Saw her spinning round and round
Never knew much about her past
I knew enough that i didnt ask
I know, I know, I know....
Livin' isn't a simple thing, I know
No one said it's suppose to be, I know
Livin isn't a simple thing, I know
No one says it's suppose to be, I know
I know
Livin' isn't a simple thing, I know
No one said it's suppose to be, I know
Livin' isn't a simple thing, for me
I know ways to make it easier
I know, July she lied
July she lied
July she lied
July she lied
July she lied
July she lied
July she lied
July she lied
July she lied
July, July, July
Livin' isn't a simple thing, I know
No one said it's suppose to be
Livin' isn't a simple thing, for me
I know ways to make it easier
Herion Girl
I used to know a girl
She had 2 pierced nipples and a black tattoo
We drink that mexican beer, we live on mexican food
Yeah I wish I could back, yes back in time
Ester used to be the kind of girl you would never leave, yeah
She'd do anything to give me what I need for my disease, she'd do anything
I can hear them talking in the real world
Yeah but they dont understand
That I'm happy in hell with my herion girl, yeah with a herion girl
Ester used to be the kinda lover you would never leave, yeah
She'd do anything to give me what I need for my disease
She'd do anything
I can hear them talking in the real world
Yeah but they don't understand
That I'm losing myself in a white-trash hell
Lost inside a herion girl, yeah with a herion girl
They found her out in the field about a mile from home
Her face was warm from the sun but her body was cold
I heard a police man say just another overdose, just another overdose
Ester used to be the kinda lover you would never leave, yeah
She'd do anything to give me what I need for my disease
She would do anything
You Make Me Feel Like A Whore
Go...Take a walk with buddy
Take your word like it was gospel, I'm so eager to please
Yeah I like it when you talk to me
It feels so good inside your shadow , it's the place I need to be
Yeah you know I need to climb you like a tree
There is this place inside, where all the good things die
Sometimes I feel like a whore
Sometimes I feel like a whore
Hate the way I am around you, I'm so nervous and weird
Sometimes I feel like I'm breathing under water
You treat me like I am on fire, like I'm something to eat
You make me hate what I see, when I see me
Yeah I dream of the day when I learn how to make you pay
Someday I'll teach you to beg, someday , someday
Yes I live for the day, when I can hear you say
You make me feel like a whore
Yes I dream of the time, where I can make you mine
Maybe then I'll feel half alive, more alive, so alive
There is this place inside, where all the good things die
You make me feel like a whore
You make me feel like a whore
You make me feel like a whore
You make me feel like a whore
You make me feel like a whore
Santa Monica
I am still livin' with your ghost
Lonely and dreamin' of the west coast
I don't want to be your downtime
I don't want to be your stupid game
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to see some palm trees
I will try to shake this disease
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out passed the breakers
Watch the world die
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out passed the breakers
Watch the world die
I am still dreamin' of your face
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
I don't want to be your good time
I don't want to be your fall back crutch anymore
Walk right out into a brand new day
Insane and rising in my own weird way
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to see some sunshine
I just want to find some place to be alone
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out passed the breakers
Watch the world die
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out passed the breakers
Watch the world die
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out passed the breakers
Watch the world die
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out passed the breakers
Watch the world die
Yeah watch the world die, yeah watch the world die, yeah watch the world die, yeah watch the world die
Summerland
Let's just drive your car
We can drive all day
Let's just get the hell away from here
For I am sick again
Just plain sick to death
Of the sound of my own voice
We can leave behind another wasted year
Let's get some cheap red wine and just go flying
We can do the things, all the things you wanted to
No one cares about us anyways
We can do the things, all the things you wanted to
No one cares about us anyways
I think I lost my smile
I think you lost yours too
We have lost the power to make each other laugh
Let's just leave this place, go to summerland
Just a name on a map, sounds like heaven to me
We can find a town, be just how we want to be
No one here really cares about us anyways
We can find a place make it what we want to be
No one really gives a fuck about us anyways
We could live just like we want to live
No one here really cares about us anyways
We can be everything we want to be
We can get lost in the fall, glimmer, sparkle and fade
The sparkle and fade
Fall, glimmer, sparkle and fade
Fall, glimmer, sparkle and fade
Fall, glimmer, sparkle and fade
Forget about our jobs at the record store
Forget about all the losers that we know
Forget about all the memories that keep you down
Forget about them we can lose them in the sparkle and fade
Fade, fade, fade, fade, fade, fade, fade....
We can leave them behind in the sparkle and fade
Yeah sparkle and fade
Fall, glimmer, sparkle and fade
Fall, glimmer, sparkle and fade
Fall, glimmer, sparkle and fade
Strawberry
Never been here, never coming back
Never want to think about the things that happened to me
Want to lay down, on the warm ground
I think I'm gonna need a little time to myself
Don't fall down now you will never get up, don't fall down now
Don't fall down now you will never get up, don't fall down now
Asking for a slow ride
Going nowhere
You look like satan
You ask me if I want to get high
Couple of bags down in old town
You tie your arm, ask me if I wanted to drive
Don't fall down now you will never get up, don't fall down now
Don't fall down now you will never get up, don't fall down now, now, now
The last thing I recall I was in the air
I woke up in the streets
Crawling with my strawberry burns
10 long years in a straight line
They fall like water
Yes I guess I fucked up again
Don't fall down now you will never get up, don't fall down now
Don't fall down now you will never get up, don't fall down now
Don't fall down now you will never get up, don't fall down now
Don't fall down now you will never get up, don't fall down now
Heartspark Dollarsign
Time stops when the whispers blare
The voices drop hard, but the eyes still stare
The world resolves into a deathly grin
Because I walk with pride with a black girlfriend
My mom says not to bring her around
Cuz she's black my family will put her down
I'll break the white trash ties that bind
trade a love so pure and a hate so blind
She said, she said
Forget the fact that I don't look like you
She said, she said
Your possesed with a power bigger then the pain
Time stops when we lie so close
In my room where we share what no one knows
From the day that we start
Until the day that we end
I know, I know, I know now
we will never find a place where we can just fit in, me and my black girlfriend
She said, she said
Fend yourself, you're alone
She said, she said
Your possesed with a power bigger then the pain
Oh a power bigger then the pain
A power bigger then the pain
Heartspark dollarsign, heartspark dollarsign
The Twistinside
We have been sleeping with the lights on just about every night
Because we are afraid of what the dark might bring
I know, I know, just a childish fear
That grows and grows wild in the middle of me
I'm gonna get a new tattoo
Black and stretching around my arm
Like a life that is visable and real
I know, I know, it's stupid and immature
I just want to give shape to the face that twists inside both you and me
Breathing fire doesn't look good on the resume
Neither does anything we do
Gotta get ready for the real world
yeah yeah, gotta grow up
You know I'd like to die for awhile
Everyday in the afternoon
I like to let the arms of a bar wrap around me tight
I'm just going to sprawl in the front booth
Big drink above my head
Cross eyes and smiling as I watch the world go twisting by
I don't want to die with you,or live in the same dark room
I don't want to see your bloodshot eyes no more, no more
I just want to take this girl
All curls and big brown eyes
Man I can't take the pain of wanting her, needing her
I know the secret of your soul, and i just don't want to know
Yeah, man we gotta grow up
Yeah we gotta grow up
Yeah we gotta grow up
Yeah we gotta grow up
Yeah we gotta grow up
I don't wanna do this anymore...
I can't take it...
Her Brand New Skin
She is everywhere I am
Yeah when I don't want her to be there
I kinda want to leave in a hurry
She's walking on the city
Heavy with her monster boots
I hear her calling my name
I hide behind the people that I want to be
I hear her calling my name
I can see the future when she tells me how it's going to be
She is perpetual Kathy
All shake and happy in her brand new skin
She is perpetual Kathy
She is always the same
She is everything that I'm not
Strong and happy with the sound of a rhythme inside
I do not want to be a broken record
But I do not want to live on the shadow of a 12-step
I hear her calling my name
Next thing you know I'll think I want to be a better man
I hear her calling my name
Yeah I used to be the devil but they never seemed to give a damn
She is perpetual Kathy
All shake and happy in her brand new skin
She is perpetual Kathy
She is always the same
She is perpetual Kathy
All shake and happy in her brand new skin
She is perpetual Kathy
She is always the same
She is always the same
She is always the same
She is always the same
She is always the same
She is always the same
She is always the same
She is always the same
Nehalem
There is this rumor about
They say your leaving Nehalem
Ever since our baby died
You've been seen with another guy
The whole damn town is talking now
They say your leaving Nehalem
Hey don't you want me to go?
Hey don't you want me to go?
Hey don't you want me to go?
Hey don't you want me?
They say your losing your mind
They say your leaving Nehalem
You know how bad words get around
Big noise in a hard small town
Tell me if you want me to go
Just tell me if you want me to go
Tell me if you want me
They say your leaving Nehalem
They say your leaving Nehalem
They say your leaving Nehalem
They say your leaving me
Yeah I know you need to break away
I don't give a fuck about what those people say
I hope you find everywhere you go
All the good things that you need to know
They say your losing your mind
They say your leaving Nehalem
They say your leaving me
They say your leaving Nehalem
There is this rumor out
They say your leaving Nehalem
They say your leaving me
They say your leaving Nehalem
I know your leaving me
I know your leaving Nehalem
I know your leaving Nehalem
I know your leaving Nehalem
I know your leaving Nahelem
I know your leaving me
Queen of the Air
There is a dream I used to have
My dream swallowed me whole
There is this bridge where I hate to go
That is where I first saw her
High on the bridge I seen her red hair shining
There is a girl
I never knew
She was my Aunt Virginia
They say that she, she just disappeared
They said I looked just like her
High on the bridge I seen her dancing waving to me there
She smiled and raised her head
Then she took to the air
There is a dream
I can't escape
My memories come back to me
There is a hell I can't escape
My memories come back to me
I heard the truth about it
Pictures and headlines hidden away
I heard the truth about my real mom
Jumping from the bridge that day
Now I know why since I was 3 years old
Been having the same nightmare
Now I know the truth about Viriginia
Why she took to the air
Pale Green Stars
Amanda is in love with the side of the moon
She has pale green stars in her room
Right above her bed
Put them on the ceiling
leave on the light
When the sun goes down, then the star might shine
Shining in the dark
Skinny little girl in her room alone
She's got hell to spare in her home
If you can call it a home
Doesn't want to be like anybody else
When no one is around she talks to herself
I can hear her in the night
Hey, hey, hey, hey
It's hard on a girl
When the blood won't come when it ought to come
It's hard on a girl
When you try to walk around on the shaky ground
Hey, hey daddy's going away
Hey, hey daddy's going away
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Scared little girl watching Aladdin on TV
Amanda always cries when you yell at me
Yeah, please don't yell at me
Climb up all the stairs
Close the door
Doesn't want to hear us fighting anymore
Yeah, better call it a day
Hey, hey, hey, hey
It's hard on a young girl
She thinks it's all her fault when it all goes wrong
It's hard on a grown man too
To see my baby crying at the window calling out my name
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Daddy's going away
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Daddy's going away
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Daddy's going away
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Daddy's going away
Daddy's going away
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Daddy's going away
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Daddy's going away
Hey, hey, hey, hey
She's got pale green stars in her room
She's got pale green stars in her room
She's got pale green stars in her room
She's got pale green stars in her room
Chemical Smile
She lost her focus yesturday
She lost her focus in the sun
She sits and stares at it for hours
She says she likes to go outside
She gets hung up on the wind
She gets lost inside the happy noise
Sometimes I don't understand her
Sometimes I don't want to understand her
She says no no no no no no
She don't want no double life
She says I should know why
She seems happier at night
Her color TV and a chemical smile
I don't want to know the reason
I don't want to know the reason
I don't want to know the reason why
She says, she says, she says, she says, she says jesus owes her money
she says, she says, she says, she says, she says the angels are her friends
What the hell does that mean?
She's got the chemical smile
Yeah she's got a chemical smile
Yeah she's got the chemical smile
Baby's got a chemical smile
She says, she says, she says, she says, she says, she says, she says
My Sexual Life
People you know try to tell you things
Bad things that you don't want to hear about
Tell you tomorrow what you did today
Just remember it's a small town
It's a real small town
She gets tired of all the stupid boys
She can't wait until they're done
She wants a man who can take his time
She wants someone who can make her come
Yeah can you make me come?
You always say you want a simple life
You and me both know that you are a liar
You always say you want a simple life
Hearing you talk just makes me tired
Swim in the heavy water buried in sand
Happy hearts fall from my shaky hands
I can't hide my sexual life
He always says he wants to find a special one
But you watch his head go spinning around
He really wants anyone who'll give it up
He seems to forget he's in a small town
You always say you never fuck around
You say this town is just plain full of liars
Yeah you always say you never fuck around
Hey hearing you talk just makes me tired
Swimming in the heavy water buried in sand
Happy hearts fall from my shaky hands
I can't hide my sexual life
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no....
I can't hide my sexual life
Yeah yeah
Swimming in the heavy water buried in sand
Happy hearts fall from my stupid hands
I can't hide my sexual life
My sexual life
My sexual life
My sexual life
My sexual life
