How Deeply I Love You
03:42

My best songs are still inside me
And I'm worried I'll never get them out
Life will go by
And then I will die
And you'll never know how deeply I love you
I'll never show how deeply I love you
My heart is full of sweet thoughts
But I voice them only rarely if at all
And if you're willing to wait
They'll deteriorate
And then you'll never know how deeply I love you
I'll never show how deeply I love you
What's stopping me you're wondering
And I wish that I could say
Maybe I'm a product of my upbringing
Or maybe I was born this way
But my way is to keep to myself
I've a hundred excuses not to risk
Our delicate balance
I've got myself convinced
And so you'll never know how deeply I love you
I'll never show how deeply I love you
You'll never know how deeply I love you
Cause I'll never show how deeply I love you
You'll never feel how deeply I love you
Cause I'll never reveal how deeply I love you
You'll never see how deeply I love you
Cause I'll never be how deeply I love you
You'll never hear how deeply I love you
Cause I'll always fear how deeply I love you
You'll never know how deeply I love you
Cause I'll never show how deeply I love you

I took your digs as compliments
You must have worked on them a lot
It didn't make a lick of sense
Why you would give me so much thought
When you yourself said I was plain
When you yourself said I was flat
You're calling out to me again
You must not really believe that
Singing in the rain ain't the same anymore
Since I talked through it with you
Don't you know everyone wants true love
Fools and liars want that too
Eddie's a killer with a joke
He knows how to break every rule
Hothead but he's just blowing smoke
We've all agreed to keep it cool
So don't get all emotional
If you're still naive enough to
Expect this world to be gentle
There must be something wrong with you
Singing in the rain ain't the same anymore
Since I talked through it with you
Don't you know everyone wants true love
Fools and liars want that too
The sky is dark and full of fire
No telling how much time is left
Work steadily toward your desire
And thank your stars for every breath
My heart is dying on its frame
My knees are buckling in the mud
A disgrace to my father's name
A shameful waste of his hot blood
Singing in the rain ain't the same anymore
Since I talked through it with you
Don't you know everyone wants true love
Fools and liars want that too
Singing in the rain ain't the same anymore
Since I talked through it with you
Don't you know everyone wants true love
Fools and liars want that too

I don't know the Rock's real name
I know I could Google it but I'm too stubborn
I don't know the Rock's real name
I wanna ask someone but I've got too much pride
I know it's in my memory somewhere
I know I've heard it before
But I don't know the Rock's real name anymore
I don't know the Rock's real name
I'm trying to remember the opening credits
Of all the Rock movies I've seen
But I don't wanna stoop to watching them again
I know I can figure this out
I know it's within my power
It'll probably come to me in a few hours
I give up, I'll ask my friend Dwayne
He comes over to my house to play board games
And he kinda looks like the Rock
But just a little older and less handsome
Here he comes, I'm ready now
I'm gonna ask the Rock's real name
He doesn't know either

I'm not gonna chase you anymore
If you wanted me you'd have taken me before
I'm through with following you around
Keeping at your heels is only bringing me down
You might see around
When I'm lounging someplace new
But don't let it faze you
If I don't embrace you
I'm out on the town
And I might just replace you
But I'm not gonna chase you
I'm not gonna chase you
I'm not texting you back as soon as I see
I've got shit to do, talking to you's not priority
I'm up to the task, I wanna be happy again
I'm not quite there so until then I'll pretend
You might see around
When I'm lounging someplace new
But don't let it faze you
If I don't embrace you
I'm out on the town
And I might just replace you
But I'm not gonna chase you
I'm not gonna chase you
And I'm never gonna call you late at night
I'm gonna teach myself not to care if you sleep tight
And I guess I'm done saying I love you
There are things that shouldn't be said even if they're true
You might see around
When I'm lounging someplace new
But don't let it faze you
If I don't embrace you
I'm out on the town
And I might just replace you
But I'm not gonna chase you
I'm not gonna chase you
You might see around
When I'm lounging someplace new
But don't let it faze you
If I don't embrace you
I'm out on the town
And I might just replace you
But I'm not gonna chase you
It would be a disgrace to

I lost my mind and I lost the war
I lost the fine things I had before
I lost my way somewhere along the line
I lost the will to slow my own decline
And I know it's only a matter of time
Honey baby have you heard the news
Elizabeth Taylor and the Texas blues
All my friends are looking for a sign
Stocking up on pocket knives and wine
And I know it's only a matter of time
The earth's rotation is a downward spiral
And assimilation is going viral
Think on it a moment and decide
If you're going along for the ride
And you know it's only a matter of time
I lost my wallet in some kind of wormhole
I don't know what to call it but it wasn't normal
I'll pay you when I get paid, that's no lie
Cross my heart and needle in my eye
And I know it's only a matter of time
You're trying to reach me but I'm not home
You can get preachy after the tone
Then you won't have to hear my sad sigh
You can keep thinking I'm a nice guy
But you know it's only a matter of time

If Not for Nadia
04:38

Nadia, Nadia is just a name
But the sound of it sets my ears aflame
Cause Nadia, Nadia to me was so sweet
She's the one who taught my heart to beat
Taught my heart to beat
Taught my heart to beat
In a summer long abandoned in a place long dead
I was feeding demons in my head
And Nadia, Nadia tried to rescue me
She showed me a different way to see
A different way to see
A different way to see
And I'm hoping she's forgotten me
And I'm hoping she's exactly where she wants to be
And I'm hoping the first thought that she thinks
In the morning is how she couldn't be more happy
Sixteen inches of snow overnight
Waking up to a world draped in white
I felt like an impostor living someone else's life
Holed up in the house with Nadia like she was my wife
Like she was my wife
Like she was my wife
Nadia, Nadia I'd sure like to stay
But there are stages that I long to play
And none of them are nearby, it's something that I've always felt
I've gotta get out of this town and try to make something of myself
Make something of myself
Make something of myself
And I'm hoping she's forgotten me
And I'm hoping she's exactly where she wants to be
And I'm hoping the first thought that she thinks
In the morning is how she couldn't be more happy
Nadia, Nadia, what did I do
I've give it up all up for a simple life with you
A simple life with you
A simple life with you

I've got no reason to lie
I've got no secrets in my sweet heart
Heaven I cannot keep
It's the hope that I belong to
Heaven I cannot cheat
And I know it would be wrong to
Alaskan wind blowing cold
Your famous skin is growing old
Heaven I cannot be
It is not my lucky day yet
Heaven I cannot need
It would be hurtful to say it
Hold your breath and count the years
Watch your tongue and swallow your tears
Forget your dreams and remember your fears
Are only trying to help you
I've tried to be close to you
I feel the worse the more I do
Heaven I cannot reach
Maybe it's not my destination
Heaven I cannot see
Even in my imagination
Heaven I cannot leave
Not for all my pain and passion
Heaven I cannot grieve
It was never gonna happen
Hold your breath and count the years
Watch your tongue and swallow your tears
Forget your dreams and remember your fears
Are only trying to help you

Normal Person
04:08

I've seen most of the Marvel movies
I have a basic understanding of what's happening
I like to play board games with my pals
Usually Scrabble or Cards Against Humanity
And I like the daily Google Doodle
It's cool when you click on it and find out something new
Well I like some nerdy things but I am just a normal person
I don't cosplay at conventions
I don't know the Ewoks' names
And I only had a few Pokémon cards when they were big
I don't go to midnight showings
I'm not good at video games
Well I wanna hang with you and all of your nerd friends
But you have to know I'm just a normal person
My boyfriend got me a Totoro plushy
I didn't know what it was but I thought it was cute
Fantasy isn't usually my thing
But I enjoyed The Hobbit even though I never saw Lord of the Rings
Did you see that fucking dragon
The CGI is getting better every year
And I haven't made it to Disneyland just yet
I'm waiting for them to build a park about the Muppets
Well I like some nerdy things but I am just a normal person
I don't cosplay at conventions
I don't know the Hulk's real name
And I've only read thirteen of the Halo tie-in novels
I don't know what happens next cause I'm not good at video games
Well I wanna hang with you and all of your nerd friends
But I must confess I'm just a normal person
And I've never made a meme but I share them all the time
Who are these mysterious altruists making all the memes
And thank god for whoever edits Wookieepedia
Now I can finally find out the Ewoks' names
And thank you whoever wrote this guide
On how to take a screenshot on my phone
You'd think they'd just make it a button or something
I mean how are we supposed to know
I watch a lot of Youtube but I can't get into Let's Plays
What do you mean I don't get to play
It's called a Let's Play
Instead I'm supposed to sit and observe you having fun
I'd rather have my friends over so we can have the fun ourselves
I'm sorry I just don't see the appeal
But that's okay you should do what makes you happy
Well I like some nerdy things but I am just a normal person
I don't cosplay at conventions
I don't know Alan Moore's real name
And my favorite anime is Avatar the Last Airbender
I don't go to midnight showings
I'm not good at video games
Well I wanna hang with you and all of your nerd friends
But I must confess I'm just a normal person
Who likes to sniff your shoes

Chronic pain
Just when I think it's over is when it crops up again
Everyone's a doctor and no one can explain
The intricate mirage
Of my sabotage
Trying to get out of Dodge
Before I lose my camouflage
And I know it wasn't built for me
And I know it isn't healthy
And I know it wasn't meant to be
And I know and I know
Mary Jane
Is the only one around this town that's keeping me sane
She's balanced on the balls of her feet looking out at the rain
Sifting through the debris
Of a tragedy
She's determined to believe
In a reasoned reality
And I know it wasn't built for me
And I know it isn't healthy
And I know it wasn't meant to be
And I know and I know
I'm so vain
I think this song is probably about me but how would I know
Cause once I put it out in the world I've got to let it go
If you don't clean up your roots
They'll bear bitter fruits
There is no excuse
For not pulling those tangles loose
And I know it wasn't built for me
And I know it isn't healthy
And I know it wasn't meant to be
And I know it must sound silly
And I know it wasn't built for me
And I know it isn't healthy
And I know it wasn't meant to be
And I know and I know

In the morning I awake
And the question on my mind
Is how much more I can fake
Before I leave myself behind
In the morning I admit
I let my thoughts go down
Play on the walls of the pit
That has no bottom to be found
And I am still hurt, I am torn
Cause you told yourself you were sorry you were born
And I am stupid, I am wrong
Cause I told myself it was hopeless all along
I'm a bad friend
I know it's true
You know I never got back to you
In the ugly afternoon
Water in your hair
You can hear old Wanda June
Sing who said life was fair
And I am still hurt, I am torn
Cause you told yourself you were sorry you were born
And I am stupid, I am wrong
Cause I told myself it was hopeless all along
In the evening I recline
In my easy peasy chair
And I know it's finally time
To formulate my prayer
In the evening I recall
That lovely light long gone
Was it lovely light at all
Or was it what it shone upon
And I am still hurt, I am torn
Cause you told yourself you were sorry you were born
And I am stupid, I am wrong
Cause I told myself it was hopeless all along
And I am still hurt, I am torn
Cause you told yourself you were sorry you were born
And I am stupid, I am wrong
Cause I told myself it was hopeless all along

Making an Ass of Myself
03:46
|
|||
|
You don't have to tell me you don't want me
You don't have to spell it out, it's obvious
You don't have to hold my beer forever
I've already shown you all my clever tricks
Making an ass of myself with my antics and grandstanding
Making an ass of myself in the heat of the spotlight
Making an ass of myself is my modus operandi
Making an ass of myself tonight and every night
You and I have history in this city
Fitting in a kiss at the Discount Video
Leave my heart broken from what it went through
Treat me like a joke that you never meant to know
Making an ass of myself with my antics and grandstanding
Making an ass of myself in the heat of the spotlight
Making an ass of myself is my modus operandi
Making an ass of myself tonight and every night
Dancing on the tables and eating off the floor
Terrorize the haters and fakers of morals
I won't hide my nature for you anymore
I would rather make a scene than be normal
Making an ass of myself with my antics and grandstanding
Making an ass of myself in the heat of the spotlight
Making an ass of myself is my modus operandi
Making an ass of myself tonight and every night
Making an ass of myself with my antics and grandstanding
Making an ass of myself in the heat of the spotlight
Making an ass of myself is my modus operandi
Making an ass of myself tonight and every night

Mortal feelings got me preoccupied
So much sorrow you'd think someone died
I'm hearing voices from across a vast divide
Can't discern any faces on the other side
Just for now I am one of the elite
Just for now I've got a house on Easy Street
Call the doctor, I don't feel right
Ran myself ragged and lost my appetite
I'm having withdrawals and urges I can't fight
Looks like the sun is going down for good tonight
Just for now I am one of the elite
Just for now I've got a house on Easy Street
Mortal feelings really got me in a bind
Cause all my problems are only in my mind
You are the angel who leaves no pure heart behind
I am the stubborn drunk anchored to the grind
Just for now I am one of the elite
Just for now I've got a house on Easy Street
Just for now I am one of the elite
Just for now I've got a house on Easy Street

Something New
03:50
|

|
When you sang these words
I felt like you knew me
You held your pen like a sword
And drove it right through me
I saw my own blood
Writing my heart's demise
Twisting and spilling my guts
For all the world's eyes
I'm trying to make something new
Out of what you left behind
But your old spirit has a hole in it
Your parts don't fit with mine
Protective obsession
And willful ignorance
I heard your confession
Still I spoke in your defense
How could my love be so misjudged
How could my love be fallible
Punching the air and kicking up dust
Crying like an animal
I'm trying to make something new
Out of what you left behind
But your old spirit has a hole in it
Your parts don't fit with mine
I wanna lift you high
So I can watch you come down
From your pedestal of lies
With your barbed wire crown
How many times must you be killed
How many gallons will you bleed out
How many idols do I have to build
To prove that I'm devout
I'm trying to make something new
Out of what you left behind
But your old spirit has a hole in it
Your parts don't fit with mine
I'm trying to make something new
Out of what you left behind
But your old spirit has a hole in it
Your parts don't fit with mine

Polly Ann Marie
03:46

Polly Ann Marie
Well she has three first names
And she says it'd be a shame
To have to pick just one
Polly Ann Marie
Says life is short and sad
So before our bodies go bad
Why don't we have some fun
Polly I'm not putting you on a pedestal
I know you're only a woman claiming her share
In this world where love is so plentiful
And so many people choose to just leave it there
I've seen tears in too many a kind face
Struggling to get my feet in the right place
To settle down, maybe now I can
Now that I've met Polly Ann
Polly Ann Marie
Says she's in love with me
And I'm in good company
There's no cause for alarm
Cause Polly Ann Marie's an ethical hedonist
She's all about chasing her bliss
But careful not to cause harm
Polly don't ever write me a dear John letter
Cause I see nothing wrong as long as we're both happy
If you love someone like I do beyond measure
Wouldn't you want them to be as loved as can be
Polly's joys are not my competition
It's a partnership, not some weird religion
And it's freeing, no more feeling less than
Now that I've met Polly Ann
Polly Ann Marie's got many curious friends
Not everyone comprehends
How much work it requires
Polly Ann Marie's got radical honesty
She doesn't hide what she thinks
Or what she desires
Polly I don't need the whole world to love me
Nor do I expect you to meet my every need
Let's discuss our dreams and, if they agree
We'll try a luck, we'll build a life and see where it leads
Polly girl where did you sleep last night
Jealousy is just a word from a past life
I feel light, I feel like a new man
Now that I've met Polly Ann
Polly Ann Marie
Would never lead me astray
No she doesn't swing that way
She is tried and true
Polly Ann Marie I love you
Polly Ann Marie I love you
Polly Ann Marie I love you
Polly Ann Marie I do

Dropping the Ball
02:01
|

Dropping the ball, I'm dropping the ball
I'm not even trying to catch it at all
Throw it to me and I'll just let it fall
I'll always be dropping the ball
Make us a plan, I won't follow through
I won't even have the respect to tell you
You can count on one thing being true
I'll never ever follow through
I've never met an opportunity
I couldn't fumble beautifully
Waving my arms in the air fruitlessly
At every opportunity
It's like I'm eager to make a mistake
The trusts I betray and the promises I break
Showing myself to the world as a flake
I'm a collector of mistakes
Give me a task, I'll just let it slide
My penchant for bailing is tested and tried
I'm a loaf on whom nothing should be relied
But hey maybe you'll let it slide
Next time I'll be ready, I'll answer the call
I'll make eye contact and stand up so tall
And despite my best effort it's like hitting a wall
I'm still gonna drop that ball
Dropping the ball, I'm dropping the ball
Clearly my tactics need an overhaul
I might as well make like a snake and just crawl
Cause I know I'm gonna drop the ball
If you see me out at the pub or the mall
I'll always be dropping the ball

Go home, you don’t make any sense
You’re lost in your own head again
It’s not like you to say sorry
So baby just come back to bed
I still bleed on people who didn’t cut me
And I grieve something I never had
Go on baby, kill me like it’s nothing
Dying in your arms wouldn’t be so bad
You don’t have to convince me that you're sober
You know i don’t care wither way
You don’t have to convince me that it’s over
I always knew you’d leave the way you came
I still bleed on people who didn’t cut me
And I grieve something I never had
Go on baby, kill me like it’s nothing
Dying in your arms wouldn’t be so bad

Tree fell in the woods
No one put it up on the internet
Did it really happen
Did it make an impact
Does it really matter
If it never grows back
Snowclone you're home
Kick back and relax your tired bones
Snowclone you alone
Are on the way to my heart which you should've known
The next big thing
Got lost with the bride of the century
Did it even happen
Did it move the needle
Do they even matter
The efforts of all these people
Snowclone you're home
Kick back and relax your tired bones
Snowclone you alone
Are on the way to my heart which you should've known
To boldly doubt
The wisdom left us by our fathers
Did it really happen
The way you said it did
Did it really happen
Was there something omitted
Snowclone you're home
Kick back and relax your tired bones
Snowclone you alone
Are on the way to my heart which you should've known
Snowclone you're home
Kick back and relax your tired bones
Snowclone you alone
Are on the way to my heart which you should've known

How do we not feel the earth
Spinning us round and round
How do we not get concerned
How do we not just fall down
How do not feel the hours
Leaking out of every day
How do we not see the clouds
Moving somewhere far away
Swimming in a sea of smiles
Wondering how they all stay on
Trying to keep a low profile
Duckling costume on a swan
How do we not admit
We can't sustain the pleasure cruise
How do we not forbid
Such flagrant disregard and abuse
I cannot believe you can't not believe it
You're on top of the world and you can't perceive it
This is what we've got take it or leave it
And don't pretend like you don't know
You've been told so
How do we not run for the hills
When the killer creeps toward us
How do we not offer our skills
When the problem's obvious
How do we not hear the cries
And what they're really all about
How do we not taste the lies
As they're tumbling out our mouths
I cannot believe you can't not believe it
You're on top of the world and you can't perceive it
This is what we've got take it or leave it
And don't pretend like you don't know
You've been told so
And don't pretend like you don't know
You've been told so

She locked me up and threw away the key
What did I do to deserve this, I guess I just got lucky
It's a wonderful feeling and only a little bit sinister
The way she's taken my heart prisoner
The blood isn't reaching my extremities but I don't need them
It's strange how okay I am with never again knowing freedom
I'm incomplete and it's bittersweet like balsamic vinegar
To know she's taken my heart prisoner
I can't be held accountable for my actions
I wasn't in my right mind, they were crimes of passion
I confess I'm helpless before this power
I've allowed her to take my heart prisoner
I should set the beauty of her essence to music
But every time inspiration strikes, she looks at me and I lose it
There's no phrase to suitably explain to my listeners
The way she's taken my heart prisoner
If she ever wants to go I know I can't stop her
If she wasn't happy that just wouldn't be proper
I would do my best to learn to live without her
But it's hard because she's taken my heart prisoner
After she's gone, for me there'll be no more courting
For there's no one else I want to give my love, it would lie dormant
A life sentence in solitary with no visitors
Because she's taken my heart prisoner
Well I got myself a good job but I'll never afford the ransom
Cause the interest compounds whenever she kisses me and calls me handsome
So I must slave away until the day I've been interred
Cause she's taken my heart prisoner
Someday in my life's final chapter
I'll donate my body to science and they'll dig through my cadaver
But there'll be something missing and all the best doctors will concur
Someone must've taken his heart prisoner

Call Me Your Lover
05:12

Nothing is easy, nothing is nice
Nothing's good enough for me and my idea of paradise
Lay me on needles, hang me from pins
Prop me up against a wooden post and teach me discipline
God doesn't see me, god doesn't know
I've capacities and talents I've been careful not to show
Power is precious, power's a drug
Push me on my knees and make me beg you not to pull the plug
And call me your lover, call me your bitch
Tell me I am such a pretty girl I make it worth the switch
And call me your baby, call me you your slut
Tell me I will never speak a word of this no matter what
Fill me with trauma, fill me with pain
Help me break all these connections I've been making in my brain
And let me trust no one, let me get tough
Leave me unable to feel a thing unless it feels rough
Cause cruel is real, cruel is true
The one who tells what you're bad at is one who won't lie to you
Punish my weakness, charge me my crime
Take me in your hands and work me til I'm worthy of your time
And call me your lover, call me your bitch
Tell me I am such a pretty girl I make it worth the switch
And call me your baby, call me you your slut
Tell me I will never speak a word of this no matter what
Hurt me in the morning, hurt me all night
I've been sleeping worse and worse these days, I can't get my head right
One-sided friendship, once I had more
Memories can be such torture, your own life can be a horror
See you in the movies, see you around
Listening for hints in your replies you might just tie it down
Make me go crazy, make my world shake
Make me dream of killing you and feel relieved when I awake
And call me your lover, call me your bitch
Tell me I am such a pretty girl I make it worth the switch
And call me your baby, call me you your slut
Tell me I will never speak a word of this no matter what
Call me your lover, call me your wife
Tell me I am such a vital part of what's left of your life
Tell me I'm honest, tell me I'm kind
Tell me I'm the only candidate for what you have in mind

Can't sit still
I want but I have no free will
I left it in the dust that's gathering on the windowsill
Longing state
Can't let go of being too late
Picturing a different past, trying to fight the hands of fate
God knows if I had known
I wouldn't have let you feel so alone
It's gonna be easy to cry for a long time
It's gonna be easy to cry for a long time
It's gonna be hard to find things that do not remind me
It'll be easy to cry for a long time
Ice cream cake
Back and forth giving me a headache
Meeting all your friends at once, overthinking my handshake
Your voice on the mic
You heard a quality you didn't like
Laughing at the unexpected, telling hate to take a hike
I was yours from the start
You never had to try to win my heart
It's gonna be easy to cry for a long time
It's gonna be easy to cry for a long time
It's gonna be hard to find things that do not remind me
It'll be easy to cry for a long time
And all I can think about it is the night I was tired
You wanted to dance with me, you were so inspired
I know you weren't trying to make me feel bad
But the disappointment in your eyes, looking back it's sad
Looking back it's sad
It's gonna be easy to cry for a long time
It's gonna be easy to cry for a long time
It's gonna be hard to find things that do not remind me
It'll be easy to cry for a long time
For a long time
It'll be easy to cry for a long time
It's gonna be easy to cry for a long time
It's gonna be hard to find things that do not remind me
It'll be easy to cry for a long time

Joel Osteen, I met you when I was a little kid
Joel Osteen, why'd you write the Bible the way you did
So slick, so sly
Joel Osteen, I hope this email finds you well
Joel Osteen, please don't go to h e double l
And make me cry
I've been watching you Joel, I've been lost and sad
I've been grieving something I'm not sure I ever had
I've been thinking lately maybe it's not a race
Maybe my faith could be in a better place
A better place
Joel Osteen, everybody knows you're on the fence
Joel Osteen, did you think about the consequences
Of your deeds
Joel Osteen, my grandma says you're the real thing
Joel Osteen, and I wanna feel what she's feeling
I'm on my knees
I've been loving you Joel, just doing it from afar
I've been reading your books and listening to you in my car
I've been dreaming of a finer day when we
Can finally live together happily
Joel Osteen, are you getting tired of my bullshit
Joel Osteen, or are you kinda vibing out to it
Be real with me
Joel Osteen, my boyfriend's been sick these past few months
Joel Osteen, can you say a prayer for him just once
On live TV

Drawing of Your Heart

You really pulled one over on me
Too much wool over my eyes, I couldn't see
How the ending was always gonna be
Engineered by you so deliberately
You always had to have the last laugh
No one else could keep up with your mental math
Shocked the copycats too clever by half
I had to give it all back, that was not my path
I remember when you texted me out of the blue
I wasn't used to that type of attention from you
I see it for what it was now from your point of view
You wanted a friend, not to be looked up to
So what do I get, when's the fun start
Where am I supposed to turn when the days are hard
Searching for an answer in your postcard
Scrawled autograph and a drawing of your heart
In the sights of a bird of prey
Eden on the run living for someday
When we can take our time along the runway
Promise words of nothing and come what may
And I don't know maybe it was the mushrooms
Or the mind-bending rhymes of Daniel Doom
But I'm sure I was flying over the moon
When you held me in your homemade costume
I remember when we were clean-shaven sophomores
Sticking it to the man and shirking our civic chores
Those sunny days I should've known when it rains it pours
I'd swallow all my tears if you'd let me cry yours
So what do I get, when's the fun start
Where am I supposed to turn when the days are hard
Searching for an answer in your postcard
Scrawled autograph and a drawing of your heart
So what do I get, when's the fun start
Wasn't it you who said youth is the worst part
Searching for an answer in your postcard
Scrawled autograph and a drawing of your heart
Scrawled autograph and a drawing of your heart
Scrawled autograph and a drawing of your heart

Hands on a Star

Looking around at quiet buildings
Lit by shadows of the sun
Driving through these empty streets I get the feeling
That I've finally found the one
But there's this darkness that comes after
Loves to follow me around
And just about the time I think that I've escaped it
Again it tracks me down
I've got my hands on a star
It's been worth the pain so far to feel it
I've got my hands on a star
I wanna let it shine on my heart and reveal it
Well I'll try to get it right
Fore I leave here tonight
Cause it won't last too long
Before she's gone
I drive to get away from all my troubles
Seek survival in a song
Stop beside the road and check into a double
Find somewhere I belong
But sleep won't grow inside the motel
It knows there's work left to be done
I put my jacket on and step out of my own hell
But there's nowhere left to run
I've got my hands on a star
It's been worth the pain so far to feel it
I've got my hands on a star
I wanna let it shine on my heart and heal it
Well I'll try to get it right
Fore I leave here tonight
Cause it won't last too long
Before she's gone
So I kneel down beside the lamppost
And ask my questions to the night air
Then I'll rise early, make my way on to the next coast
But I doubt there'll be answers there
Cause I've seen the devil on Sunday morning
Wearing someone else's clothes
He whispered in my ear then left without a warning
I wonder how he always knows
I've got my hands on a star
It's been worth the pain so far to feel it
I've got my hands on a star
I wanna let it shine on my heart and reveal it
Well I'll try to get it right
Fore I leave here tonight
Cause it won't last too long
Before she's gone
I said I'll try to get it right
Fore I leave here tonight
Cause it never lasts too long
Before she's gone
