There's nothing for me here
I'm starting to get old
And Time just ticks on
We've all been taking some
Comfort in repetition
But I'm left with no way to scratch
What has been itchtin'
And I'm ready and waiting for the happy ending
Days go by they pass right through us
Our night lives make us so useless
Now don't take anything to heart
We don't care and we don't want to start
Well I'm leaving for a while I'll head in some direction
I just don't know which one I should be taking and
I'm ready and waiting for the happy ending
I'm begging and pleading for another beating
I'm ready and waiting for the happy ending

So, you've been trying to get ahead
But coming up empty handed
Losing all those friends you made instead
Oh you pushed your way up to the top
You got so tall you had to stop
Did you squint to see who you were stepping on?
It's your secret to success
That's causing such a mess
And to be honest
Forgetting all of us
Now that is just Bad Business
You think you're worth your weight in gold
While everybody's looking like the color of money
We knew you when and we don't really think it's funny
OK I'm just hoping for that day when your business life comes to an end
Deal with us just like people again
And you're just scheming on success
But only coming up with meager messiness
Oh you can sell sell sell
And never do well
When dealing in Bad Business
If you're plainning to invest
Well anyday now we'll be coming to collect
Oh yeah- well you can sell sell sell
And never do well
When dealing in Bad Business

It was all his fault, introduced me to knowitall and the (cannibal)
By the time they started showing up, I ran the risk of blowing up
These times, these times get tough
So if i stay we're going to see who's had enough
By the time i needed backing up, ya he was watching, cracking up
This time, this time it's tough
But here I am and now and I think I've had enough
Stand back
Take that and that and that
(Chorus)
Ya you're always up to no good
Ya you're always up to no good
Uh ah I was trapped in from all sides
Caught in a slew of nasty lies
No there is no escape, only flailing arms and bellyaches
When it all started coming down tonight, or did you run and hide?
Well I guess that we all make mistakes, I guess I forgave you didn't I
Stand back
You're such a big brat
(Chorus)
Sing it
(Instrumental)
(Chorus)
By the time they started showing up, I ran the risk of blowing up

Well here I am now and i think I've had enough
Stand back
Stand back
Stand back
You big brat

you should get your story straight, before i start to doubt it
cause if you've worn your lipstick off i wanna hear about it
and telling me would be such a breeze, say it if you want to leave
i think i'm getting the drift,
you want some time with your friends, on the nights and weekends
you take the time for yourself both of us used to spend
before you make it better, before you make it worse
1st things 1st
i don't think it's an accident, you treat me like a dummy
hold on, hold on
well i've been asking for the truth, at least just tell me something
hold on, hold on
and telling me would be such a breeze
let me know, don't let me be
it's almost too easy
i'm holding you by the hand, more like the nape of your neck
why dont you draw up a list you have to frequently check?
and put some things in order and lose it in your purse
1st things 1st
(intrumental)
i'm holding you by the hand, more like the nape of your neck
well what your trouble is, you have to frequently check
and put some things in order and lose it in your purse
1st things 1st
you spend all that time with your friends on every night and weekend
you take the time for yourself both of us used to spend
before you make it better, before you make it worse
1st things x3
1st things 1st

Cut your losses
Cut your ties
Start a new life
Thesse things they can
Tie you up, weigh you down
Wear you in then wear you out
One day you could
Find yourself suddenly
Underneath the guillotine
You'll have to answer up for
What you want and what that means
That's the difference between
Breaking the bank and
Just breaking even
Making a living and
Making a killing
Why don't you buy yourself a gift
For the work you've been putting in
Maybe a little something
You could toss into that pit
Of emptiness you're pregnant with
Or maybe you could go and
Lose yourself all together
Nothing's getting any better!
Oh no!
Is that what you really want
After all is said and done with me?
That's the difference between
Breaking the bank and
Just breaking even
Making a living and
Making a killing
Like bills in a short stack and
Bills to the ceiling
Making a living and
Making a killing
Well I found myself suddenly
Underneath that guillotine
For Heaven's Sake I'm here I'm willing
Let's making everyone a killing!
. . .

Upon the hour of your arrival
I will draw the line
You take your side of the city
Don't set foot on mine
You told me when we met
I told you when we left
That we're through
We're through
So I thought
You knew
You disappeared
Now you're not welcome here
Across the park we used to walk through
Keep that for yourself
Well the bench that heard
You wouldn't have me
That's for someone else
That is mine to keep
That is mine to keep
I know at least
I said my peace
Made it clear
That you're not wlecome here
I told you when we met
You told me when you left
I know at least
I said my peace
Made it clear
That you're not welcome here
You're not wlecome here
You're not wlecome here
You're not welcome here

Her eyes were closed
When I caught her in bed
She seemed much happier then
I sat by her side
And I couldn't help but cry
I was here for a reason and I
Finally understood
And my oh my
Could only ask myself why oh why
Can't we talk this through
And make things right
I'd sure as hell like to try
Right about this time
She opened her eyes
And asked how long I had been there
Well my tongue was tied
I said nothing I just stared
Then she said: "Oh, I didn't think you cared."
And I wasn't ready for what she said next:
"There is nothing else
That you can do
You can't understand
What I go through
And if the world has changed
Well I'll be damned
And I'm no good at being brave
Not even on the better days
And there are things we can not save
Oh no matter how hard we try."
She said:
"There is nothing else
That you can do
You can't understand
What I go through
And if the world has changed
Well, you'll do fine."
I tried, but no I could not stand
I touched her with a trembling hand
I choked and could not say goodbye
Oh no matter how hard I tried
. . .

I came home as someone else
Must have wished it on myself
When I got
Lost in thought
While we were out
Hours have passed and I have seen
The terror I am stuck between
Who I've been
And who I'm thinking
I could be
I was listening to battle begin
Wondering which side would win
Did you say
Something I'm
Sorry I
Apologize
I can tell
After this there's nothing else
Nothing you can't solve
If you're such a know it all
Maybe I'm not good enough
Or you don't resemble what I've built up
After months
See it
Looming over us
Tell me I made some mistake
Entertaining a second date
I'm a mess
So nervous and it's
Getting late
What should I do
I'll tell you
Pretty soon
I'll shatter in two
Just because
You place something high enough
The harder it can fall
But you knew that.
You're a know it all.

Isn't there enough to talk about?
I don't want what else is running out your mouth
Chewing my ears from my head
Will not keep me interested
I wanna put you on someone else
I wanna leave you all by yourself
If I look like I'm involved
Well, I ain't listening at all
You never listen to a single thing I say
How in the hell did I get into this mess anyway?
Oh yeah, I was
Shot in the hall with a glance
If looks could kill I would've never had a chance
And you could bury me where I lie
I'm so unhappy that I could die
Other people, they're not looking
Anywhere in your direction
Got this creeping party doubt
There's no chance I'm ever getting out
You're having fun at my expense
Oh yeah, you're raking up
Sometimes I think that you
Wanna end up with no one to talk to!
Other people, they're not looking
Anywhere in your direction
Got this creeping party doubt
There's no chance I'm ever getting out
They're acting like somebody near
Just passed away in here
So if I go
No
When I do
You'll end up with no one to talk to!
Ha!!
Ha!!
Ha!!

Watching everybody leaving
I tell myself
Looks can be deceiving
But I'm hoping that I'm not dead right
There's after hours afterlife
And I'm not prepared to die in style tonight
Tried to follow you out but I didn't know
who you'd be leading on
And you might think people don't live
through being dead wrong
I guess that your parents must have raised themselves
A strictly pious daughter 'cause you
Move through this crowd just like parting water
You dress so nice
You dress to kill
They drop like flies
But who's the funeral for?
Afterwhile
These hot hot nights
Can turn everything sour
Oh I know it's
Not hard to get
In trouble after hours
. . .

Hold on,
hold out.
Your day's full.
Okay,
that's fine.
I don't mind
the meantime.
You've got your things to do,
places you
have to go,
so-and-so.
I don't mind the meantime.
I've been thinking I could count
from then 'til now.
I count too high.
I can't help but think about the meantime.
Saving time,
spending it poorly.
I've been pretty full of shit the meantime.
If what comes next is
so damn precious,
why should I mind
what you're doing
meanwhile?
Lately I've been
lost in thought
around the clock.
Hands are flying and
I can tell you're running out of meantime. (oh, meantime)
Oh, now I know it's over too quick.
Got my finger on
where it's all gone.
Don't look back 'cause I won't be there.
I don't have any more to spare and
it's all mine!
Meantime. Meantime. Meantime.
