(Answering Machine Quality)
Hi,
Hi Uncle Trevor,
I hope the rock show goes good,
Good Luck.

When I was young I used to turn up the bass and
Rock out to Billie Jean and Thriller in my basement
When Michael Jackson was a pop sensation
Every second song on the radio
Remember Axle telling us to have patience
And records sold without any affiliation
When William hung and music still had no relation
Someone tell Janet bring back the rhythm nation.

No gloves, no zipper coats
No more yellow submarines or kokomos
If we could ask Luther Vandross
I bet he'd wonder the same…

Can ya tell me what happened to Michael Jackson?
And MTV trading music for acting?
Avril Lavigne's on the cover of Maxim
Woah oh oh oh

And theres a million other people with a lot on their mind
But for me I'm not the type to let a good thing die
If we could bring The Beatles back to rock it one more time
We could turn this mess around, one beat at a time.

When I was young I used to turn up my headphones
And flip through the pages of the Ro-oh-lling Stone
Used to turn it up to 10 on my drive home
With Mick Jagger singing “its only rock-n-roll”

No gloves, no zipper coats
Just rock stars eating their filet mignon
Where did Van Halen put guitar solos
I bet they'd wonder the same…

Can ya tell me what happened to Michael Jackson?
And MTV trading music for acting?
Avril Lavigne's on the cover of Maxim
Woah oh oh oh

Can ya tell me what happened to Michael Jackson
And bands reuniting just to get a reaction
Britney should have never covered satisfaction
No no oh oh oh

And theres a million other people with a lot on their mind
But for me I'm not the type to let a good thing die
If we could bring The Beatles back to rock it one more time
We could turn this mess around, one beat at a time.

You're killin' me softly with this whole
mirage. And replace the music with
hydraulic cars, I'll trade my first favorite
old fashion, If we could retrace the
steps we've made so far

Can ya tell me what happened to Michael Jackson?
And MTV trading music for acting?
Avril Lavigne's on the cover of Maxim
Woah oh oh oh (x2)

Can ya tell me what happened to Michael Jackson
And bands reuniting just to get a reaction
Britney should have never covered satisfaction
No no oh oh oh

Your amazing but your taking too much time
I've only got six candles left
And I'm trying to keep this off my mind
It's getting darker bit it's the way they make feel
They try to fill my head with questions
They all doubt you but I know your real

If it takes time then I'll be patient
Know that I will still believe
I'll take your hand and hold it tightly
Because I know you'll carry me

Take me high, Take me in, Take these last six candles
And when I'm tired, and wearing thin.
Give me the strength to carry on
Here I am, see my hands, take these last six candles
We're moving on, we'll keep, keep, moving on

And I'm so thankful for every breath I take
Theres not a moment that goes by
I waste wiping tears out of my crying face
Don't look so sad, you've missed the point
I'm still so glad I knew you against the odds
I'll take my chances and burn this candle through you

If I could ever see the way you understand me
When no one else can see it
I know you surround me

I'll be the one who listens only when you tell me
Not walking but running, not talking, yelling

And they might never understand why I do what I do
But I can only speak my mind
And what I feel is true
I'll take a vow to be the only one who stands if it takes
All that I am, I will be standing, there, there

You're the next big thing
The next big thing
They're gonna wanna shake your hand
and take a picture with your band
Everyone will shut their mouths
'cause they wanna hear you out
And they're gonna know your name
'cause your the next...

There's no way of knowing just where you were going
I'll take you for every last second and moment
"So pleased to meet you", is how they will greet you
while they're looking over your shoulder
I've seen all the faces; been millions of place
It's taken a lot not to lose all my patience
For every ? comes a whole lot of heartache
I'll try hard to learn from all of my mistakes

Hold me back because I lose my control
and you can say goodbye to all the days of old

You're the next big thing
The next big thing
They're gonna wanna shake your hand
and take a picture with your band
Everyone will shut their mouths
'cause they wanna hear you out
And they're gonna know your name
'cause your the next big thing

Everybody put your hands up
Uh huh
Now here you are
with few more friends and a nicer car
but do you really know what the meaning of life is?

You've got the gift to make a wish
Will you ever give in to it to make a difference?
Now the kids that come to your shows
see your face everywhere you go

There's no way of knowing just where you were going
I'll take you for every last second and moment
"So pleased to meet you", is how they will greet you
while they're looking over your shoulder
I've seen all the faces; been millions of place
It's taken a lot not to lose all my patience
For every ? comes a whole lot of heartache
I'll try hard to learn from all of my mistakes

Hold me back because I lose my control
and you can say goodbye to all the days of old

'Cause you're the next big thing
The next big thing
They're gonna wanna shake your hand
and take a picture with your band
Everyone will shut their mouths
'cause they wanna hear you out
And they're gonna know your name
'cause your the next big thing

'Cause you're the next big thing
The next big thing
They're gonna wanna shake your hand
and take a picture with your band
Everyone will shut their mouths
'cause they wanna hear you out
And they're gonna know your name
'cause your the next big thing

this songs for the emo kids with the punk-rock, rockabilly screamo lids
and the crunk-rock, hip-hop and metal queens
who still don't know what the heck that means
lets cheer for the real MCs
all the east west 30 sound straight OGs
with the hippy rock hardcore alt countries
with the techno industrial magazine

[pre-chorus]
I don't know where I fit in
but every time that records spins
I know the way it makes me feel
and I never tried to be your trend
never asked to be everyone's friend
I'm just who I am and that's life for real
and every time you try to just remember...

[chorus]
that I won't be Americas Next Freak
I will not let you down every time you speak
and if all you see if you see Americas Next Freak
take me home, take me home, take me home---

this ones for the Phyllis Deans
and the beach boys rocking in the Philippines
with the twist top x-box strategies
all speaking French, Spanish, and Portuguese
and one time for the half to bites
with the super low low carb atckins diets
and the man with the plan in the corduroy
who just brought back the backstreet boys

[pre-chorus]

[chorus]

I don't know see anything around me
I wont be, I wont be
I don't know see anything around me
I wont be, I wont be
if you don't see, then me make bite
cause I wont see, I wont see
it makes me sick, it makes me smile
cause I wont be, I wont be

[chorus x2]

I remember the times we spent together
All those drives, we had a million questions
All about our lives
And when we got to New York everything felt right
I wish you were here with me,
Tonight

I remember the days we spent together,
were not enough, it used to feel like dreaming
Except we always woke up,
Never thought not having you here now
Would hurt so much

Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

I remember the time you told me
About when you were eight
And all those things you said that night
That just couldn't wait
I remember the car you were last seen in
And the games we would play
All the times we spilled our coffees
And stayed out way too late

I remember the time you sat and told me
About your Jesus, and how not to look back
Even if no one believes us
When it hurts so bad, sometimes
Not having you here

Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

I say
Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

When I, walked in, to the room I wasn't thinking, anything but,
maybe I would, rent a flick that a guy would.
As I'm, talking, to myself I saw her, reach for the top shelf right
for the, faded black then I knew it was over.

[Chorus:]
I fall, apart, 'cuz you've gotta late charge on my heart.
If its alright, with you, we'll meet in the "previously viewed".
Sometimes, I try, to replay it in my mind, but who am I kidding,
I wont forget that time in the video store.
Whoa, whoa, whoa....
(That time in the video store...)
...Whoa, whoa, whoa..

Now here, we are, in the second verse looking worse than the first,
Don't wanna end up like my man Fred Durst,
'Cuz he did it all for the nookie.
When she, looked up, I thought I must be dreaming,
She had the eyes of an angel even,
Think I mighta saw wings, I'm leaving...

[Chorus]

Every, time I, think I, see you, I won't forget that nobody,
Else could ever do what you did to me.
That night I saw you there so unexpected, I could care less, who
Else, was there, I've been infected
(Oh-oh)
So infected by you
(Oh-oh)

I met this girl who likes her heavy metal
she gets excited when slipknot plays on
leno she's a heck of a girl with no cares in
the world and she likes it that way

she wears black socks with pink stripes in
'em and she swears that her friend goes
out with richard simmons she's a one of a
kind i can't get off my mind and i like it
that way

and if you listen closely you will hear then
say...

stand clear she's the girl of the year and
there's no use in trying to get her off my
mind she stole my heart and she's tearing
it apart it's never gonna be the same

she's a love potion that plays with your
emotions a big swimmer that won't go
near the ocean and if everything's fine
she'll get to work on time and they like her
that way

she wears black socks with pink stripes in
'em and she swears that her friend goes
out with richard simmons she's a one of a
kind i can't get off my mind and i like it
that way

and if you listen closely you will hear then say...

stand clear she's the girl of the year and
there's no use in trying to get her off my
mind she stole my heart and she's tearing
it apart it's never gonna be the same

and now i'm taping myself together i'm tap-
ing myself together again now i'm taping
myself together i'm taping myself together
again

and i won't let this happen again Ey-eh,
Hey-eh, Ey-e-yeah-e-yeah-eh, Eh-eh, Hey-eh,
Ey-e-yeah-e-yeah-eh

Hey-Hey!...Together again and again and
again and together again and again and
again and again...

Stand clear she's the girl of the year and
there's no use in trying to get her off my
mind

she stole my heart and she's tearing it
apart she stole my heart and she's tearing
it apart she stole my heart and she's tear-
ing it apart she stole my heart and she's
tearing it apart now it's never gonna be the same

I've tried not to let anyone in until now
I guess conversations never allow
and I've been feeling like I'm on some sort of merry-go-round
And I know, I know, yeah I know, I know

And I've tried not to let anyone in until now
It took time for me to figure it out
and when I feel like I'm complacent with my
head in the clouds
I know, I know, yeah I know, I know

and every time I wonder what's real you make me feel...

You make me feel like a lavender sweater
when I'm caught in bad weather,
In my Volkswagen Jetta
You make me feel like a complete work of art
when I'm just falling apart
A really nice piece of art

Dear God, (art, art, art...)
I hope you hear me (art, art, art...)

And I've tried not to let anyone in until now
Misunderstandings are an easy way out
And I've been feeling all this pressure just to figure it out
And I know, don't know, yeah I know, don't know


And I know that if I just stay strong I can make it
and try harder when I just can't take it (can't take it)
And when everything around me feels so broken and jaded (broken and jaded)

I know, yeah I know, I know
and every time I wonder what's real you make me feel...

You make me feel like a lavender sweater
When I'm caught in bad weather
In my Volkswagen Jetta
You make me feel like a complete work of art
when I'm just falling apart
A really nice piece of art

(art, art, art...)
It's kinda warped, but it's picking up slowly
I don't know, but I can if you'll show me
I guess sometimes it takes more than just fake conversations
to feel like I know that
It's kinda hard when I'm planning for something
to get across this hole without jumping
I guess sometimes it takes more than just false information
to find out who we are

You make me feel like a lavender sweater
when I'm caught in bad weather
In my Volkswagen Jetta
You make me feel like a complete work of art
when I'm just falling apart
A really nice piece of art

I know what it feels like to wish the day was
over, I know what it feels like to have
to start all over, I know what it feels like to
miss the punch like. While another
moment's passed me by

Don't try to phone, I'm not at home, I've left
And I'm never coming back, yeah-e-ah, Don't
try to page me, I'm not waiting, My mother
taught me that, yeah-e-ah

When I feel down and out, and there's no
one else around, There you are by my side,
always waiting, waiting Come take my hand
and let's ride, 'til the morning meets The
night, I'll be patiently waiting

I know what it feels like to have to say
you're sorry, I know what it feels like to be
misunderstood, I know what it feels like to
thank the ones before me, Not a moment I
don't try

When I feel down and out, and there's no
one else around, There you are by my side.
always waiting, waiting Come take my hand
and let's ride, 'til the morning meets The
night, I'll be patiently waiting

I'll be patient, I'll be patient,
I'll be patiently waiting.

This troubled heartache
won't go away
I think there might be
something wrong with me
I take a deep breath and maybe
I'll stop this shaking
God please don't forsake me
I might be crazy

Am I losing my mind?
Sometimes I feel like
things are getting worse in time
If I try will you open my eyes?
And make me a part of you
like you're a friend of mine

Next time I'm losing my mind
I'll remember that to find my way out
is just a waste of time
In place of all my mistakes
You've seen through the shadows above me
No one could ever love me like you

If I finish what I started
and get swept under the carpet
I'll still be thankful for all you've done
Take a note to remind me
that you know where you can find me
I'll probably end up right back here again

Am I losing my mind?
Sometimes I feel like
things are getting worse in time
If I try will you open my eyes?
And make me a part of you
like you're a friend of mine

Next time I'm losing my mind
I'll remember that to find my way out
is just a waste of time
In place of all my mistakes
seen through the shadows above me
No one could ever love...

I'll be everything that you want me to
except for perfect
I'm trying hard just to understand
your plan for me
I'll be everywhere that you want me to
unless I fall
I'm just trying to get my life back again

Next time I'm losing my mind
I'll remember that to find my way out
is just a waste of time
In place of all my mistakes
You've seen through the shadows above me
No one could ever love me...

Next time I'm losing my mind
I'll remember that to find my way out
is just a waste of time
In place of all my mistakes
You've seen through the shadows above me
No one could ever love me like you

Here we are
In the best years of our lives.
With no way of knowing
When we'll stop spinning
Cause we don't know where we're going

And here we are
On the best day of our lives.
And it's a go
Lets make it last
So cheers you all to that
'Cause this moment's never comin' back

I used to know her brother
But I never knew I loved her
'Til the day she laid her eyes on me
Now I'm jumpin' up and down
She's the only one around
And she means every little thing to me

I've got your picture in my wallet
And your phone number to call it
And I miss you more
Whenever I think about you

I've got your mixed tape in my Walkman
Been so long since we've been talkin'
And in a few more days
We'll both hook up, forever and ever

And here I am
On the west coast of America
And I've been tryin' to think for weeks
Of all the ways to ask you

And now I've brought you to the place
Where I've poured my heart out
A million times, for a million reasons
To offer it to you

I used to know her brother,
But I never knew I loved her,
'Til the day she laid her eyes on me
Now I'm jumpin' up and down,
She's the only one around,
And she means every little thing to me

I've got your picture in my wallet
And your Phone number to call it
And I miss you more
Whenever I think about you

I've got your mixed tape in my Walkman
Been so long since we've been talkin'
And in a few more days,
We'll both hook up, forever and ever

I used to know her brother,
But I never knew I loved her,
'Til the day she laid her eyes on me
Now I'm jumpin' up and down,
She's the only one around,
And she means every little thing to me

I've got your picture in my wallet
And your Phone number to call it
And I miss you more
Whenever I think about you

I've got your mixed tape in my Walkman
Been so long since we've been talkin'
And in a few more days,
We'll both hook up, forever and ever
