Yes, I think it's safe to say
I feel good about the place
That I've been 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 and laugh 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 sins
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 back in here by myself
I think about the time that I've spent in hell

When I saw my brother below me
I remember the words he said
When you leave you wake up happy
Then you'll sleep right in your own warm bed
I'll be singing in the rain when the bad dreams com
And It All Goes Wrong Again

Woh, I will be singing in the rain
When It All Goes Wrong Again
Woh, Woh 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'll be sitting on top when the sky falls down
And It All Goes Wrong Again
Woh I will be sitting on top when it all goes wrong again
Woh, Woh 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
Aw, when it all goes wrong again
Oh, When it all goes wrong again

When it all goes wrong again
When it all goes wrong again
When it all goes wrong again
When it all goes wrong again
When it all goes wrong again
When it all goes wrong

. . .



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
Something 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

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 estatic
I am hungry for the climb

Sometimes I feel
Like I am 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 am losing my mind
Sometimes I feel like my life is
on a 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 hear is racing and
I am losing my mind
Sometimes I feel like my life is
on a slide

. . .



This is a song about Spike
He is a bad ass 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 has gotta lot of tattoos

He always talks crazy
Whenever she calls
He always talks like a baby
It's obvious now...
She has got him by the balls

She has got him by the balls...
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 hanging out
getting 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 is obvious now
They have got him by the balls

I hate you
when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a
grown man

(they have got you by the balls)

I hate you
when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a
grown man

(they have got you by the balls)

I hate you
when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a
grown up man

(they have got you by the balls)

You will never see me...
walking that walk
You will never catch me...
talking that babytalk

(you know it's true...
they've got you by the balls)

Which brings me back to Spike
A good guy to have in a fight
Unless he was
With his girlfriend
Obnoxious on Saturday night

You know he couldn't care less
What anyone thinks
He does not give a damn
No, because he has no shame

He looks so happy
Just like everything is fine
He is oblivious to the fact
That he has no spine

He always talks crazy
(you have no shame)
Whenever she calls
(you have no shame)
He talks like a baby
(you have no shame)
It is obvious...
they have got him by the balls

I hate you
when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a
grown man

(they have got him by the balls)

I hate you
when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a
grown man

(they have got him by the balls)

You will never see me...
walking that walk
You will never catch me
....talking that babytalk

(you know it's true...
they've got you by the balls)

I am not going to let it
get to me

They've got you by the balls

. . .



I don't want to be
a loser...no!...
I don't want to be
an almost was
I don't want to be a white trash
Working class chump
I don't want to be a loser anymore

That's why I want to be
a rock star
I want to be the king
I want to be on top, yeah
I just want to be a rock star
Yeah...
now I just want to be famous
I want to be the guy
That everybody wants
(laughter)

I want to be on TV shows
And wear designer clothes
I want a girlfriend who does
not drink beer
I want to drive a fast car
And sleep with certain
movie stars
I want to sing the songs
That all those little people
Want to hear

I just want to be a rock star
I want to be like all those
people up in first class
I just want to be a rock star
I want to tell the little people
They can kiss my ass

I just want to be a rock star
I just want to get laid
I just want to be a rock star
A different girl
For every day

That's why I want to be
a rock star
Be like all those guys
on the MTV
I just want to be a rock star
I want to make those girls on
the Real World
Fantasize about me

I just want to be a rock star
I want to be the king
I want to be on top
I just want to be a rock star
I just want to be famous
Everybody everywhere
wants to be famous
and everybody everywhere
wishes they could tell
Everybody everywhere
to go to Hell

I just want to be a rock star
I just want to get high
I just want to party like
a rock star
Until the day I die

I just want to be a rock star

. . .



Hey I think this is
getting to me...
First class living
In a goldfish bowl

Just when I think
I have driven my life
Where I wanted it to be

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

To teach it all the tricks
I wanted it to learn
To teach it how to do
What I want it to do

No one really understands
Just how simple and plain
And predictable I am

Because 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

No, I just don't care
(I hear them
under their breath)
(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 this is getting to me...
First class living
In a goldfish bowl

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 want to go

All I ever wanted to do
Was to learn how to break
This world in two

Teach it all the tracks
I wanted it to learn
Teach it how to do
What I want it to do

No one really understands
Just how simple and plain
And predictable I am

Because all I ever wanted
real bad
Was to play guitar
In a rock and roll band
Now I'm just losing my hair and
learning how to smile

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

Say la de da de da de da

. . .



Walking wounded with a belly
full of pain
And a big bad attitude

We are shaking shadows for that
perfect dark room
Where we can do just what we
want to 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 a big black song
in my head

I know the answers to
my questions
They are purple black and blue
And they are waiting for me in my bed

There is a place...

Where we can leave behind
All those simple minds
They would not like
they 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

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
misery whip

You will become my friend

. . .



Out of my depth
Lost in the air
Falling faster
Like a broken elevator

Out of my depth
Lost in the dark
Waiting for the 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
going to 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 am 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 everyday
I can't find the words
To make the good things
Come my way

I feel like I am faking it
I feel like I am wrong
I feel like I'm a guest
...like I just do not belong

I am out of my depth
Every single day
I just cannot find the words
To make my monsters go away

Something bad is
going to 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

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 am out of my depth

I am out of my depth

Yes, I am slowly going
out of my mind

. . .



You pull me down
To the floor
Of our apartment

A little while later
We are laughing 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 want to be
your boyfriend

There has never been a time
When I didn't want to know
your name

Free falling from a work
in progress
Free falling from a life on hold

There has never been a time
When I didn't want you

My good lover
Is my one good thing
these days

You help me keep it all
From slipping away

I swear I'm going to
Marry you
Someday (someday)

I am all alone
And it seems like
All I do is wait
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 slipping away

I swear I'm going to
Marry you
Someday

My girlfriend is like
Magic in the hand
When I lose my sparkle
She's the one
that understands

I know I'm going to marry you
someday

I swear I'm going to marry you
someday

I swear I'm going to marry you...

Someday

I am all fucked up
And I am ready to break
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 am dying on the inside
I want to be happy
But I don't know how

I am all fucked up
And it's always the same
I always get so close,
Then I let it get away
I got no one but
myself to blame

I'm all fucked up
And I don't know why
If the rest of my life
Is going to be like this
Think I would rather die
I am all fucked up

Yes, I am all fucked up
You're happy
when you are all fucked up
Yes, I am all fucked up

I am all fucked up
Yes, I am ready to break
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 want to be happy now

I am all fucked up
And it is always the same
I always get so close
then I let it get away
I got no one but
myself to blame

I am all fucked up
And I don't know why
If the rest of my life
Is going to be like this
Than I think I would rather die
I am all fucked up

. . .



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.
You got those crazy blues.
All those pretty smiles,
I can see them laughing at you.
Your time is gonna come, your time is gonna come.

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.
Yeah, you say you got this bad thing, you say you've got it bad.
You have broken every heart of every friend you've ever had.
Yeah, the time is gonna come when all your friends just go away.
I wonder why you stick around, sometimes I wish you would leave.
You say you love me forever, then you spit on me.
Your time is gonna come,
I swear your time is gonna come.

I don't want to be your whipping boy.
Yes, your happy little loser, someone you can ignore.
I'm not gonna let you overwhelm me anymore.
I'm not gonna let you hurt me anymore.
I'm not gonna let you hit me anymore.
No, I will not let you kick me anymore.
I will not let you overwhelm me anymore.

It can come from out of nowhere.
I don't want to 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 hit me anymore.
I will not let you twist me anymore.
No, I will not let you turn me inside out.

. . .



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

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 going to fade

This life is going to get better
(Things are going to be better)

I wait until
my ex-wife has gone away

I walk around the house
Getting lost inside the old day

I see a picture where
everybody's smiling...

I know...
I got to keep it on the inside

I want to get lost
from my life sometimes

Sit on the side
and watch the world go by

I want to get lost
and I don't know why

Sometimes I want to get lost
and I don't know why

(Sometimes I want to get lost
and dream for a while)

Waiting for my little girl
Waiting on the school bus

We're going to the movies
Yeah just the two of us

Sit inside the dark and dream
for awhile

Our life is going to get better
(Yeah it's going to 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 want to cry

I know...
I got to keep it on the inside

I want to get lost
from my life sometimes

Sit on the side
and watch the world go by

I want to get lost in the dark
and dream for awhile

Just sit inside a dark room
and dream for awhile

The only thing that ever makes
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

I am just like everyone I know

I am afraid of things that I
don't know

I am afraid of ever really
being alone

I want to find myself a brand
new heart

I want to find a girl
and make a brand new start

I want to find a girl and get lost
in the dark

The only thing that ever makes
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 to be alive

Sometimes I am happy
just to be alive
