Yes I think it's safe to say
I feel good about the place
That I have made in the world today
I get all sticky inside when I close my eyes and I open up wide
I see pictures in the clouds
So obscene I gotta laugh out loud
I look back to find my way
Reminisce nice about the good old days
Yeah when I saw my brother above me
I remember the words he said
"When you dream you hit bottom
Chances are good you're gonna wake up dead"
I'll be up on top when the sky falls down
and it all goes wrong again
Yeah, I will be sitting on top when it all goes wrong again
Yeah, I will be sitting on top when it all goes wrong
Yes I think it's safe to say
I feel good about the sin
That I inflict on my own skin
I pay money to cut and burn
Pictures like the lessons that I need to learn
I see faces on the ceiling
I see them move, I hear them singing
I lay laughing here by myself
Think about the time that I spent in hell
When I saw my brother below me
I remember the words he said
"When you need to wake up happy
Better sleep right in your own warm bed"
I'll be singing in the rain when the bed's on fire
and it all goes wrong again
Whoa, I will be singing in the rain when it all goes wrong again
Whoa, I will be singing in the rain when it all goes wrong
Where are you gonna be
When it all comes down
What are you gonna do
When it all comes down
Where are you gonna be
When it all comes down
What are you gonna do
When it all comes down on you
I'll be sitting on top of the world
(when it all goes wrong again)
I'll be sitting on top of the world
(when it all goes wrong again)
I will be sitting on top when the sky falls down
and it all goes wrong again
Whoa, I will be sitting on top when it all goes wrong again
Whoa, I will be sitting on top when it all goes wrong again
Again and again
I will be sitting on top when it all goes wrong
Yeah when it all goes wrong again
*~*~Slide~*~*
We were fading like the bottom of a bad dream
We were heading south looking for a good time
Faces look so pretty in the spotlight
All blown out, and bathed inside a world of white
Sometimes I feel like I am holding it together
Sometimes I feel like everything is fine
Sometimes I feel like I'm out of control
I feel like I am falling, like my life is on a slide
Slide
It was sunny on the streets
Down there by the water
We would get hammered on the beach
Right down by the water
She was slightly out of reach
A rich man's only daughter
I think she slept with me
Just so she could piss off her father
I am elastic
I am easy with the damage
I am ecstatic
I am hungry for the climb
Sometimes I feel like I'm falling apart
I feel like I am falling, like my life is on a slide
Slide
I know it's wrong but I just can't seem to act my age
I know it's wrong but I just can't seem to control my rage
My heart is racing and I'm losing my mind
Sometimes I feel like my life is on a slide
Slide
Those faces look so scary in the harsh light
All blown out, and bathed inside a world of white
We were shining like the good part of a bad time
We were laughing happy just to be along for the ride
Sometimes I feel like I am really lucky
I have made it through bruised and scarred and half alive
Sometimes I feel like I'm out of control
I feel like I am falling, like my life is on a slide
Slide
Yes I know it's wrong but I just can't seem to act my age
Yes I know it's wrong but I just can't seem to control my rage
My heart is racing and I'm losing my mind
Sometimes I feel like my life is on a slide
*~*~Babytalk~*~*
This is a song about Spike
He is badass guy
Who just happens to be
A really good friend of mine
Everyone I know, yeah
Who knows Spike too
Would agree when I say the words that
Spike is cool
The problem with my friend Spike
He has fallen into
A true love with a nice girl
Who's got a lot of tattoos
He always talks crazy
Whenever she calls
He always talks like a baby
It's obvious she has got him by the balls
She's got him by the balls
Yeah she has got him by the balls
My weird little brother James and his ex-girlfriend
They would talk in those ridiculous voices
We would all be hangin' out, gettin' drunk in the neighborhood
And they both would make those ridiculous noises
He would always talk crazy
Whenever she calls
He always talks like a baby
It's obvious, they've got him by the balls
I hate you when you when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a grown man
(They've got him by the balls)
I hate you when you when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a grown man
(They've got him by the balls)
I hate you when you when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a grown man
(They've got him by the balls)
You'll never see me
Walkin' that walk
You'll never catch me
Talkin' that babytalk
(You know it's true they've got you by the balls)
Which brings us back to Spike
A good guy to have in a fight
Unless he was with
His girlfriend, obnoxious
On a Saturday night
You know he couldn't care less
What anyone thinks
He does not give a damn
No 'cause he has no shame
He looks so happy
Just like everything is fine
He seems oblivious to the fact
That he has no spine
'Cause he always talks crazy
(You have no shame)
Whenever she calls
(You have no shame)
He always talks like a baby
(You have no shame)
It's obvious, they've got him by the balls
I hate you when you when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a grown man
(They've got him by the balls)
I hate you when you when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a grown man
(They've got him by the balls)
I hate you when you when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a grown man
(They've got him by the balls)
You'll never see me
Walkin' that walk
You'll never catch me
Talkin' that babytalk
(You know it's true they've got you by the balls)
I am not gonna let them get to me
I am not gonna let them get to me
I am not gonna let them get to me
I am not gonna let them... whoa!
They've got you by the balls
Yeah they've got you by the balls
*~*~Rock Star~*~*
I don't wanna be a loser
No, I don't wanna be an almost-was
I don't wanna be a white trash working class chump

*~*~Short Blonde Hair~*~*
One, two, three
Hey I think this is gettin' to me
Yeah first class livin' in a goldfish bowl
Just when I think I have driven my life where I wanted it to be
Yeah it takes me to a place that I do not want to go
All I ever wanted to do was to learn how to break this world in two
Teach it all the tricks that I want it to learn
Teach it how to do what I want it to do
Yeah no one really understands how simple and plain and predictable I am
'Cause all I ever wanted to do was to play guitar in a rock and roll band
Now I'm just losing my hair
And I'm learning how to smile like I just don't care
(I hear them under their breath)
No I just don't care
(What they say when they think that I can't hear them)
I see them point and I see them stare
There goes that stupid guy with the short blonde hair
Yeah I think it's gettin' to me
Yeah this first class livin' in a goldfish bowl
Yeah just when I think I have driven my life where I wanted it to be
It takes me to a place that I don't wanna go
All I ever wanted to do was to learn how to break this world in two
Teach it all the tricks that I want it to learn
Teach it how to do what I want it to do
No one really understands how simple and plain and predictable I am
'Cause all I ever wanted real bad was to play guitar in a rock and roll band
Now I'm just losing my hair
And I'm learning how to smile... whoa!
No I just don't care
(I hear them under their breath)
No I just don't care
(What they say when they think that I can't hear them)
I see them point and I see them stare
There goes that stupid guy with the short blonde hair
Short blonde hair

*~*~Misery Whip~*~*
Walking wounded with a belly full of pain and a big bad attitude
Yeah, we are shaking shadows for that perfect dark room
Where we can do just what we wanna do
There is a place where we can leave behind
All those simple minds
They would not like the way we live
When we are all alone
In this house that we call home
You will become my misery whip
Yes I said like a misery whip
Walking hungry with a pocket full of promise and big black song in my head
Yes I know the answers to my questions, they are purple, black, and blue
And they're waiting for me in my bed
There is a place where we can leave behind
All those simple minds
They would not like the way we live
When we are all alone
In this house that we call home
You will become my misery whip
I will say it again, like a misery whip
Stop!
I get no pleasure when I'm going through the motions of my mediocre day-to-day
I'm just an actor, just like Robert fucking Redford
When I say those stupid words that they expect me to say
Yes we can leave behind
All those simple minds
They would not like the dirty things we do, yeah
When we are all alone
In this house that we call home
I will fall down like a bitch for you
I need you to hit me and make me shake
I need you to hurt me and make me beg for more
I need you to bend me and make me break
I need you to make me feel like I am your whore
I feel complete when I feel sick inside
I need to feel like I am real inside, yeah
I need to feel like I am really alive
I need you to make me feel
I need you to hit me and make me shake
I need you to hurt me and make me beg for more
I need you to bend me and make me break
I need you to make me feel
Like we can leave behind
All those simple minds
They would not like the way we live
When we are all alone
In this house that we call home
You will become my misery whip
You will become my friend
*~*~Out of My Depth~*~*
Out of my depth
Lost in the air
Falling faster like a broken elevator
Out of my depth
Lost in the dark
Waiting for that other shoe to come down hard
I cannot communicate like I wish I could
I do not deal with my problems like I know I should
I am out of my depth
I am out of my league
Watching everything just slip away from me
Something bad is gonna happen
I can feel it deep inside
There are shadows all around me
Like a bad moon on the rise
I am in over my head
I am in too deep here over my head
I guess I should keep my opinions to myself
I guess I'm out of my depth
Out of my depth
Right from the start
I feel like I was born with an invisible heart
Out of my depth
Seems like every day
I can't find the words to make the good things come my way
Yes I feel like I am fakin' it
I feel like I am wrong
I feel like I'm a guest, like I just do not belong
I am out my depth
Every single day
I just cannot find the words to make my monsters go away
Something bad is gonna happen
I can feel it deep inside
There are shadows all around me
Like a bad moon on the rise
I am in too deep here over my head
Yes I am in too deep here over my head
I should seek some professional help
Because I'm out of my depth
Yes I'm out of my depth
And I am slowly going out of my mind
Oh, go away
Make them go away
Someday I know
I will make them go away
Make them go away
Make them go away
Someday I know I will make my monsters go away
I am in over my head
I should seek some professional help
I should keep my opinions to myself
I guess I'm out my depth
I'm out my depth
I'm out my depth
I'm out of my, oh, oh, whoa!
I'm out of my depth
Yes I am slowly going out of my mind
*~*~The Good Witch of the North~*~*
You pull me down to the floor of our apartment
A little while later we are laughin' at our carpet burns
I like the way that it glows outside as the room gets darker
How I wish we could stay like this while the rest of the world turns
There has never been a time when I didn't wanna be your boyfriend
There has never been a time when I didn't wanna know your name
Free fallin' from a work in progress
Free fallin' from a life on hold
There has never been a time when I didn't want you
Yeah my good lover is my one good thing these days
You help me keep it all from slippin' away
I swear I'm gonna marry you someday
Someday
I am all alone and it seems like all I do is wait
Yes we spend hours on the phone but it's never the same
No, nothing good ever does come easy
Nothing good ever comes without a fight
I am all alone and I wish I was home with you tonight
Yes my good lover is my one good thing these days
You help me keep it all from slippin' away
I swear I'm gonna marry you someday
Yeah, my girlfriend is like magic in the hand
When I lose my sparkle she's the only one that understands
I know I'm gonna marry you someday
Yeah, I know I'm gonna marry you someday
Yeah, I swear I'm gonna marry you someday
Yeah, I swear I'm gonna marry you
Someday

(Instrumental)
*~*~All Fucked Up~*~*
Hey, what in the in the fuck are you laughing at?
Get out of the way!
(One, two, three, four, one, two, three)
No!
I'm all fucked up
And I'm ready to break
No, I don't wanna be the guy who is always on the outside
I wanna find my own good place
All fucked up
And I don't know how
How I ever got to where I feel like I'm dying on the inside
I wanna be happy but I don't know how
I am all fucked up
And it's always the same
Yeah, I always get so close then I let it get away
I got no one but myself to blame
All fucked up
And I don't know why
Yeah, if the rest of my life is gonna be like this
I think I'm gonna die
I'm all fucked up
Oh I'm all fucked up
(You're happy
When you're all fucked up)
Oh I'm all fucked up
I'm all fucked up
Yes I'm ready to break
No, I don't wanna be the guy who is always on the outside
I wanna find my own good place
All fucked up
And I don't know how
How I ever got to where I feel like I'm dying on the inside
I wanna be happy now
I am all fucked up
And it's always the same
Yeah, I always get so close then I let it get away
I got no one but myself to blame
All fucked up
And I don't know why
Yeah, if the rest of my life is gonna be like this
I think I'm gonna die
I'm all fucked up
*~*~Overwhelming~*~*
It can come from out of nowhere
Hit you when you're safe and warm
Take it easy my star
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Yeah you got those crazy blue eyes
Yeah you got those crazy blues
All those pretty smiles
I can see them laughin' at you
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Whoa, I don't wanna be your punching bag
Your complacent little princess, all tragic and sad
I'm not gonna let you overwhelm me anymore
No, not anymore
Yeah you say you got this bad thing
Yeah you say you got it bad
You have broken every heart
Of every friend you've ever had
Someday the time will come
When all your friends just go away
I wonder why I stick around
Sometimes I wish you would leave
You say you'll love me forever
Then you spit on me
Your time is gonna come
I swear your time is gonna come
I don't wanna be your whipping boy
Your pathetic little loser, someone you can ignore
I'm not gonna let you overwhelm me anymore
I'm not gonne let you hurt me anymore
I'm not gonne let you hit me anymore
I'm not gonne let you kick me anymore
I will not let you overwhelm me anymore
It can come from out of nowhere
Whoa, I don't wanna be your simple saving grace
Just another little victim with a happy face
Someday, someday soon
Somebody's gonna come, I hope they do this to you
I'm not gonna let you overwhelm me
I will not let you hurt me anymore
No I will not let you hurt me anymore
I will not let you hit me anymore
I will not let you twist me anymore
No I will not let you turn me inside out
*~*~Song from an American Movie pt. 2~*~*
Sometimes I get to a point
Where I don't give a damn about anything anymore
Sometimes I get to a point
Where I feel numb and I just don't care
Sometimes I feel like I just don't care
Yeah, sometimes I feel like I just don't care
I sit in my car and listen to the radio
I think about the past and it seems so long ago
I know the pain is slowly gonna fade
This life is gonna get better
(Things are gonna be better)
I wait until my ex-wife has gone away
I walk around the house getting lost inside the old days
I see a picture, everybody's smiling
I know I gotta keep it on the inside
I wanna get lost from my life sometimes
Sit on the side and watch the world go by
I wanna get lost and I don't know why
Sometimes I wanna get lost and I don't know why
Sometimes I wanna get lost, and just dream for a while
Waitin' on my little girl, waitin' on the school bus
Going to the movies, yeah just the two of us
Sit inside the dark and dream for a while
Our life is gonna get better
(Yeah it's gonna be better)
I wake up weird in the middle of the night
I walk the floor until my mind gets right
I think about the past and it makes me wanna cry
I know I gotta keep it on the inside
I wanna get lost from my life sometimes
Sit on the side and watch the world go by
I wanna get lost in the dark and dream for a while
Yeah, just sit inside a dark room and dream for a while
The only thing that ever made sense to me
Is the words to a song from an American movie
The only thing that ever made sense in my life
Is the sound of my little girl laughing
Alive and happy in the summertime
Whoa, alive and livin' happy in the summertime
I'm just like everyone I know
I am afraid of things that I don't know
I am afraid of ever really being alone
I wanna find myself a brand new heart
I wanna find a girl and make a brand new start
I wanna find a girl and get lost in the dark
I wanna find a girl and get lost in the dark
The only thing that ever made sense to me
Is the words to a song from an American movie
The only thing that ever made sense in my life
Is the sound of my little girl laughing
Through the window of a summer night
I sit alone in the backyard
Wishing I could be inside
Just the sound of my little girl laughing
Makes me happy just be alive
Sometimes I am happy just to be alive
Yeah, I'm happy just to be alive
