Lucky Star; Sung By Robby Takac
if i could walk a straight mile
and write it down in shorthand
i could show you if you want me to
and if i had an hourglass
i'd save the grains of time i spent with you
that's what i'd do, but i remember
you always said it could be great
and i knew it could be
well there's a way you look at things
that no one needs to know but you
and you shared 'em with me
like everytime the leaves would fall
you promised me that they'd be back again
and i believed in you
you always said it could be great
but i hadn't time to waste
now it seems that i've gone too far
as bright as you are
don't get burned by your lucky star
bright as you are
don't get burned by your lucky star
written down in hardbound books
the way things used to be
they ain't for me
i'd swear they're all for you
we said sugar, gramps said shoot
her mom said shit
i don't know what she'll do
as if it's up to you
but i remember
you always said it could be great
but i hadn't time to waste
now it seems that we've come too far
as bright as you are
don't get burned by your lucky star
bright as you are
don't get burned by your lucky star
your lucky star will burn out
your lucky star can turn you 'round
your lucky star will burn out
your lucky star can turn you 'round
turn you round, turn you round
turn you round, turn you round
we're gonna turn you around
Cuz You're Gone; Sung By Johnny Rzeznik
you whispered in my mouth
and i spit your words right back
how good do you think i'll look
when the words start to break and crack
you beat your head upon your wall
you disconnect yourself from it all
cuz you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
and i wanna get in so bad and i don't know how
no i don't know how
cuz you're gone
and you ain't coming back
yeah you're gone
and you ain't coming back
you held your hands so close
and i just can't push you away
i wished you could be my girl
but you're stuck in a grown up world
you beat your head upon your wall
you disconnect yourself from it all
well you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
and i wanna get in so bad and i don't know how
no i don't know how
cuz you're gone
and you ain't coming back
yeah you're gone
and you ain't coming back
you beat your head upon your wall
you disconnect yourself from it all
cuz you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
and i wanna get in so bad and i don't know how
and i don't know how
cuz you're gone
and you ain't coming back
yeah you're gone
and you ain't coming back
yeah you're gone
and i wish you'd come back
Don't Worry; Sung By Robby Takac
called you up all night till mornin'
left my house by noon today
and i saw you standing there
no one spoke but we both listened
heard every word you didn't say
and the sun shines all around us
smells like summer's on the way
and i saw you standing there
tell the story of a lifetime
tomorrow brings a brand new day
don't worry 'bout today
(and the words that you said)
don't worry 'bout today
(shake the world from your head)
least for a while
they say the days keep getting longer
but my nights seem longer still
and my tv's off the air
watchin repeats on my ceiling
another hour left to kill
don't worry 'bout today
(and the words that you said)
don't worry 'bout today
(shake the world from your head)
least for a while
come on
Girl Right Next To Me; Sung By Johnny Rzeznik
you changed my face
i think i like it better now
it doesn't matter anyhow
cuz that's the way it is
you said hello
where the hell you been
i said i feel like i've been off to war
and i may never be the same again
i made my bed
and now i can't sleep at night
cuz the tossin' and turnin' you know
you know it ain't right
i'd love to beg
see but i'm just too proud
and i don't even know what to say
so i'm thinking out loud
and when you dream seventeen
i ain't there so i don't care
cuz in all my dreams i'm twenty three
and she's that girl right next to me
see that girl right next to me
i lie in my bed
you're running through my head
goin' over and over and over
the things that you said
i'm caught in a trap
i run like hell right back to you
cuz i'm sober with you and you know
it beats drinking alone
and when you dream seventeen
i ain't there so i don't care
cuz in all my dreams i'm twenty three
and see that girl right next to me
see that girl right next to me
and when you dream seventeen
i ain't there so i don't care
cuz in all my dreams i'm twenty three
and she's that girl right next to me
see that girl right next to me
and when you dream seventeen
i ain't there so i don't care
cuz in all my dreams i'm twenty three
and she's that girl right next to me
see that girl right next to me
she's the girl right next to me
see that girl right next to me
Domino; Sung By Robby Takac
if you never had it than
you don't know how bad it is
that was nothing like it, well
needless talk and i could tell but
here comes the day i sit and wait
(dominos are falling still)
oh it's always something
the bills keep coming the car ain't running
(as i know they always will)
now i'm coming home again
another day oh the mailman's on his way
(dominos a test of will)
just sit and wait, always pondering my fate too late
another day goes (dominos)
i borrowed from you yesterday
little fuss that you have made
no one minds, i could tell
seems i've hit the ones you shall but
here comes the day i sit and wait
(dominos are falling still)
oh it's always something
the bills keep coming the car ain't running
(as i know they always will)
now i'm coming home again
another day, oh the mailman's on his way
(dominos a test of will)
just sit and wait, always pondering my fate too late
another day goes (dominos)
(dominos are falling still)...oh everyday
(as i know they always will)...i sit and wait
(dominos a test of will)...that's why i'm pondering my fate too late
(dominos)...another day goes
We Are The Normal; Sung By Johnny Rzeznik
it's a beautiful day
i heard everybody say
the sun shines down for all of us
just the same
you know i like the rain
that ain't so obvious
it's a beautiful sight
i guess everybody's right
this day belongs to all of us
even still
i like mine with a chill
that ain't so obvious
we are the normal
we live and we die
with no reason why
we are the normal
we live and we die
with no reason why
it's a beautiful life
and i've got in my sights
and that ain't for all of us
it's a beautiful sound
my life comes crashin' down
that ain't so obvious
it's a beautiful sin
and i'm doin' it again
and that ain't for all of us
it's a beautiful life
and i've got in my sights
ain't that so obvious
we are the normal
we live and we die
with no reason why
we are the normal
we live and we die
with no reason why
we are the normal
we live and we die
with no reason why
we are the normal
we live and we die
with no reason why
there's no reason why
we are the normal
we live and we die
with no reason why
we are the normal
we live and we die
with no reason why

Another Second Time Around; Sung By Robby Takac
happy smilin' cryin'
outburst to my past
i guess those stormy gray skies
simply couldn't last
now i find myself
a-tugging at your dress
the thought of holding you down
or seeing you frown is
never gonna pass
somewhere there's a place
the soul can never go
gray-like stormy skies
i hoped you didn't know
all our postcards full of
things i won't forget
and now it's coming down
that laughing clown is
all i ever get
another second time around
i've been runnin' from ya
another second time around
another second, one more second time
i waited for ya
another second time around
couldn't help myself
i felt like everything was gonna pass
was an awkward time
i hoped it wouldn't
hoped it couldn't last
and i didn't know
exactly what to say
'bout the things you say me
do my evil way
and i know you're lyin'
crying in your bed
well i'm all tired out
so wired out it's
ringing in my head
another second time around
i've been runnin' from ya
another second time around
another second, one more second time
i waited for ya
another second time around
another second time around
another second time around
Stop The World; Sung By Johnny Rzeznik
you need someone to hold you
you need somethin' that you ain't been gettin'
yeah i could be the one
to tell you what to do
but it don't mean nothin'
and you're holdin' on forever
but that somethin' just ain't true
i'm just like you
and i know
it's what i'd do
here i go
cuz i couldn't stop the world
cuz i love you
i couldn't stop the world
and i don't want to
i couldn't stop the world
and i won't
cuz it ain't enough
you had another bad day
you let me know
that you just can't take it
i'm giving up on you
you live in truth
and i know i can't fake it
cuz the stars you see
are on a dirty sidewalk
and they ain't for wishing new
they don't come true
and i know
it's what i'd do
here i go
cuz i couldn't stop the world
cuz i love you
i couldn't stop the world
and i don't want to
i couldn't stop the world
and i won't
cuz it ain't enough
i'm not too young for the world
i'm not too young for the world
and i can't change for the world
cuz i don't care for the world
i don't need to stop the world
i don't make sense for the world
Already There; Sung By Robby Takac
i look outside my window
everything was blanketed in white
the neighbors pushing cars out
from the snow that fell on us last night
started thinking 'bout the things we used to do
when we were young
back when things were simple
getting up was fun
i couldn't care
cuz i'm already there
i'm already there
and i'm ready there
turn around and face the clock
i sit and watch
as time went hopping by
i'm still growing up
my friends are growing old before my eyes
count the stars above
wonder when the heavens will subside
knowing our two worlds will
someday just collide
i couldn't care
cuz i'm already there
i'm already there
and i'm ready there ooh-oh-ooohhh
just a boy who's young at heart
his smile was a bit like yours today
had a wife, a kid, some strife
never had to go astray
happiness evolved
life was in full swing at seventeen
all the things he wanted
were things he'd never see
it don't seem fair
cuz i'm already there
i'm already there
and i'm ready there ooh-oh-oohh
On The Lie; Sung By Johnny Rzeznik
he burnt down the house one night
he had a loaded six pack gun
he said the jesus christ
was just a like a cop
you know, you never know when they'll come
she said every dimpled frown
was another dream come true
he said i'll hang and swap cliches all night
but i'm not in love with you
and i never got serious
till everything went black
and i ain't so curious
that i'm ever goin' back
on the lie
on the lie
on the lie
on the lie
he said man you wanna be elvis
i said i ain't dyin' face down
he said you gotta die
facing up in the world
cuz there's too many holes around
he asked what was wrong with me
he said i look like a hollywood girl
i said that hollywood
could fall in the ocean man
cuz it's the ugliest place
in the whole wide world and
he never got serious
till everything went black
and i ain't so curious
that i'm ever goin' back
on the lie
on the lie
on the lie
on the lie
on the lie
he was
on the lie
on the lie
she was
on the lie
on the lie
he was
on the lie
it's all been a stinkin' lie
Close Your Eyes; Sung By Robby Takac
i wish i had a saxaphone
i'd play the blues till you came home
with a little sadness in your eye
now that all our time is spent
in the walk the heavens sent
thinking 'bout all the nights you've cried
had a certain passion
and i had surely dreams
of all the vicious actions
don't close your eyes to me
(don't close your eyes to me)
oh don't close your eyes to me
i wish i had a camera lens
to film the things my mind had said
before they reached my mouth
and got all bad
looking at the skies of blue
all day long i think of you
even after all the shit we've been through
had a certain passion
and i had surely dreams
of all the vicious actions
don't close your eyes to me
(don't close your eyes to me)
please don't close your eyes to me
close your eyes to me
close your eyes to me
eyes to me
close your eyes to me
(don't close your eyes to me)
close your eyes to me
(don't close your eyes to me)
close your eyes to me
(don't close your eyes to me)
eyes to me
So Far Away; Sung By Johnny Rzeznik
why
do you stare me down
am i wrong
should i turn and kiss the ground
and i
never felt that way
i ain't the one and you know i won't come
from such a place
and how do you get those things
the things that you can't grow
you say that it's all my fault
and i don't need to know
tell me something i don't know
and i find
that i'm always looking 'round behind me
you say
that it's all been said before
now i find
that there's something i don't know
and i
hate your attitude
i ain't scared at all
cuz it don't matter what you do
and now
turn around and see the truth
you're tearing it down
yeah you're bringing it down
and it's all on you
and how do you get those things
the things that you can't grow
you say that it's all my fault
and i don't need to know
tell me something i don't know
and i find
that i'm always looking 'round behind me
you say
that it's all been said before
now i find
that there's something i don't know
and i know
i don't know
(rock and roll)
and i see you there
(yeah rock and roll)
if you're breaking the glass
and there's no one to hear
and your heart's full of hate
but your mind's full of fear
let it go
so far away
so far away
so far away (so far away)
oh

so far away
so far away (so far away)
Go Home
