Smash Mouth Album

Do you believe everything that you read
Everything that you see on the set
You look around at your sleepy little town
And think that this is as good as it gets
Well what you're lookin' at is heaven-sent 

CHORUS
Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head

And what you want, what you really need
Are two different things wouldn't you say
The line is thin between fun and sin
And we're all clockin' in for the day
And our only care is what to wear

CHORUS
Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head

BRIDGE
I got a job but I've got a problem
'Cause I eat too much and I can't afford to solve it
When I'm savin' up for that cruise to the Caymans
And I'm hittin' the snooze so I can keep on dreamin'

INSTRUMENTAL

I'm just tryin' to realize
I'm just dyin' to open my eyes
I'm just lookin' for paradise in my living room

CHORUS
Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head
I've got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head
I've got a holiday a paid holiday
I've got a holiday in my head

I don't know why I'm with you
The only right thing I do is get along with you
And days go bye-bye for you but they fly by for me
It's true
I talked to you late last night
You said it wasn't all right but it would be all right
And when you sleep by yourself
You're not alone I'm with you
Oohweooh 

CHORUS
But you weren't listening when I told you everything
That you need I ain't got
You should be gone by now but you're not

I play guitar all night long
And I know hundreds of songs and I'll just play them all
And even when I get home somehow you're still alone
It's true
I don't know why you're with me
The only reason I see some sort of fetish thing
Some people like to be pleased and
Some like to be teased
Which are you

I tried to warn you but you said just play dead
As long as we stay
True

CHORUS
But you weren't listening when I told you everything
That you need I ain't got
You should be gone by now but you're not
But you're not

INSTRUMENTAL (BELLS)

BRIDGE
Did your head not receive the shape of everything
That you are and I am
I shouldn't be happy as your man

You know that I am

I play guitar all night long
And I know hundreds of songs and I'll just play them all
And when you sleep by yourself
You're not alone I'm with you
As long as we stay true--whoowoowhoowoo whoowhoowhoo--

CHORUS

--You weren't listening when I told you everything
That you need I ain't got
You should be gone by now but you're not

But you're not
But you're not
But you're not
But you're not
But you're not

We're on the move
The ride was rough but she was smooth
Waiting in the wings just doing her thing
Locomoting to the groove 
Number one, have some fun, that's the rule of the road
Lois Lane, Mary Jane, we may never get home
Arlene, Annette, Angelena
Making the scene it a green Karman Ghia

CHORUS
Just kiss it goodbye on the fly
Alibi leave her wondering why
Yeah, I threw her away and I crave yesterday
Now that's she's gone
Now that she's gone, she turns me on
She turns me on

The style was wild like millionaires
My savoir-faire got everywhere
It was nothing but a thing if you're wondering
But now she isn't there

Suzie Q, Peggy Sue, won't you tell me your name
Betty Lou, make it two, if you really got game
April and June got the word now
May got play in a lei at the luau

CHORUS
Just kiss it goodbye on the fly
Alibi leave her wondering why
Yeah, I threw her away and I crave yesterday
Now that's she's gone
Now that she's gone, she turns me on

Now that she's gone, she really turns me on

BRIDGE
Marlena, Tina, and Belinda
Goodnight Irene, Jean and Lucinda
Jackie O, did she know, did she know

INSTRUMENTAL

CHORUS
Just kiss it goodbye on the fly
Alibi leave her wondering why
Yeah, "regret" is a word that I never had heard
Now that's she's gone
Now that she's gone, now that she's gone, she turns me on
Now that she's gone, she turns me on
Now that she's gone, she turns me on on on on on
She turns me on on on on on
She turns me on

CHORUS
Sister Psychic won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me 
We were there at the start we've got Polaroids to prove it
Skateboards and scars and embarrassing home movies
But if you really wanna see where it's all goin'
Switch on your TV she's all tellin', all knowin'
She knows everything

CHORUS
Sister Psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me

Can you help us find the ones on the missing posters
Is my baby being true, am I doin' what I'm supposed to
Could you help me find my keys or better yet life's meaning
Are those tarot or dialogue cards that you're reading
C'mon
Tell me everything

CHORUS
Sister Psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me

INSTRUMENTAL

BRIDGE
Sister, why would I tell you my deepest, dark secrets
So you could take my diary and rip it all to pieces
Just $6.95 for the very fist minute
I think you've won the lottery that's my prediction
You know everything

CHORUS
Sister Psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me
Sister Psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me

Paintings of dogs playing pool
Smokin' cigarattes they drink 'til they drool
Well we ain't so dumb, just numb
And tomorrow's another year
Could you tell us what happened 'cause we weren't here
We've been hitchin' a ride with a big fake rubber thumb 

CHORUS
And you're a star now, blinkin' bright
And you drive so fast now, out of sight

The ticker tape wants us to fail
And the limousine just drives us to jail
And the concierge can't tell us where the ladies dance
But you are my friend in miles
Radio waves, stations, and dials, and smiles
Cities and towns, slow down

CHORUS
And you're a star now, blinkin' bright
And you drive so fast now, out of sight
Out of sight
Out of sight

INSTRUMENTAL (haunting)

CHORUS
And you're a star now, blinkin' bright
And you drive so fast now, out of sight
Out of sight
Out of sight
Out of sight

Today's escape will consist of a mask
I found it in a bargain bin
Why do you ask
Rosy cheeks and a smile
There's no shame in my game of denial
Don't you touch, move along
Keep your hands inside
Ask enough from afar
Enjoy the ride
It don't get much better than this
There's the riff, here's the hook,
Where's the myth 

CHORUS
Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field

Beaten down on all fours
And they'll stare as they pass
Please don't feed or provoke
Or tap on the glass
Bet you never felt quite like that
You could say, don't complain where I'm at

CHORUS
Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field

BRIDGE
You won't see me cry (you won't you won't)
You won't see me die

INSTRUMENTAL

The escapade still exists of the task
Of pullin' off a miracle out of my @$$
It don't get much better than that
A savvy fox, a loyal dog, a sunny cat

CHORUS
Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field (Say hello to my force field)
Say hello to my force field (Say hello to my force field )
Say hello to my force field 
Say hello to my force field

The shoes you wear, ain't the shoes I'd wear
But I don't care
You've got things to say
But they're thrown away 'cause they're so passe
To them, they, who are they anyway
They're just beating each other at being each other
With nothin' to say 
So everyone cares 'cause the hat that he wears is on the wrong way
And I heard them say "Don't be square"
So square we'll stay
Without them, they, who are they anyway
They're just beating each other at being each other
With nothin' to say

CHORUS
I'm holdin' on to my old man's sneakers
Just goin' deaf to my hi-fi records and
Hangin' round at the pawn shop
Waitin' for nothin' to change
Anything strange is wrong

INSTRUMENTAL

So here we are
In a dead man's car goin' to the show
In my old chapeau
Well it's full of holes but it's got more soul
That them, they, who are they anyway
They're just beating each other at being each other
With nothin' to say

CHORUS
I'm holdin' on to my old man's sneakers
Just goin' deaf to my hi-fi records and
Hangin' round at the pawn shop
Waitin' for nothin' to change
Anything strange is wrong

When your head is spinnin' 'round
When everything is upside down
You can look at things differently
Come and check my galaxy 
You'll be claimin' stars now, baby
I'll be representin' clouds
But before you get too far out, baby
Before you start lookin' down

Let me show you the way how
Let me hold you high

Ultra touch, sight, and sound
Your feet are safely on the ground (on?)
I'm starin' off into your space
You're only comin' through in waves right now but

I see you comin' my way now, baby
You know I'll be kickin' down
But before you get to far out, baby
You kow I'll be reelin' you homeward bound

Let me show you the way how
Let me hold you high

INSTRUMENTAL

You'll be claimin' stars now, baby
And I'll be representin' clouds
But before we get too far out, baby
Don't you start lookin' down

Let me show you the way how
Let me hold you high
Let me hold you high
Let me hold you high
Let me hold you high

Well I go where they go
And I know who I wanna know
We are the "In Set"
And they don't trip if you're hip
At the velvet rope off the strip
We are the "In Set" 
Call me cruel and unkind
But I'm cool and refined
Like a robot

CHORUS
If you're not down with us
You're down below
Where have you been
Who do you know
It's no secret this is our big show
And we will never let you down
Never, ever, ever

Well the pond may be big
But it ain't deep if you dig
On the inset
Little fish swim away
I suggest you go and play
On the swing set

And I was a junkie way before it was cool
With that I'll leave you

CHORUS
If you're not down with us
You're down below
Where have you been
Who do you know
It's no secret this is our big show
And we will never let you down
Never, ever, ever

INSTRUMENTAL

We're just drivin' this jalopy 'til it grinds to a halt
And that's our mission
A Hollywood tradition

CHORUS
If you're not down with us
You're down below
Where have you been
Who do you know
It's no secret
This is our big show

If you're not down with us
You're down below
Where have you been
Who do you know
It's no secret this is our big show
And we will never let you down
Never, ever, ever

Government test climate best
If you're looking for no rest
And at midnight you can grab your keys
And slip into your bulletproof dress
Television comes to life
And it works the street tonight
Siren's the song and it's remixed long
Into the broad daylight 
Sleeping with the only one you can't out run
Gotta run before the sun catches up to me
Days they go too slow I'm blinded

CHORUS
Seein' only what I wanna see
In this enchanted land of a thousand chances
You only get just one and it's gone

Well I'm just another creep
In that town that never sleeps
Met the one I adore at a liquor store
And she gave up counting sheep
And she explained to me
What "waitress" really means
That most ignore what she's waiting for
While earning an honest keep
She's acting out tinsel town's most-hated scene

Gotta run before the sun catches up to me
Days they go too slow I'm blinded
Seein' only what I wanna see

CHORUS
In this enchanted land of a thousand chances
You only get just one and it's
Gone

Disenchanted in this land of a thousand chances
You only get just one and it's
Gone

Back in the day everything seemed to be OK
But OK is just OK
And just alright makes you think
What could be on the other side
Runnin' with the big dogs
Left those puppies on the porch
Scratchin' fleas is the least in the real world
If I knew then what I know now
Just alright would be OK somehow 
Shhhhh

Keep it down now
Could you keep it down

Had it made had it played itself out
In a sit-com style
So the landlord has his key in my door
I'll have amnesia for a while
I've seen ridiculous sunsets in a sickening sky
It made me feel really ill in a beautiful way
I've seen perfect people and I shield my eyes
I don't deserve to see their shame
Shhhhh

Keep it down now
Just keep it down now
I can't hear myself think
Who needs to think

AWESOME ELECTRONICA TRACK

I know I know I know..........

AWESOME ELECTRONICA TRACK
Shhhhh

If you don't wanna be 
Like all the rest of them 
Like all my so called friends 
Walk with me, stand by me 
Take what you want from me 
Get what you feel you need 
If it means that much to 
Take it please 

Chorus: 
If you don't come if you don't go 
If you think there's something I should know 
You can come and share your misery with me 
Yeah with me 

Why don't you understand 
That my hearts lying in your hands 
You squeeze and bleed me dry 
I try to live you want me to die 
If it means that much to you 
If you think there's something I should do 
Take what you want from me 
Get what you need take it please 

If you don't come if you don't go 
If you think there's something I should know 
You can come and share your misery with me 
Yeah with me 

If you don't come if you don't go 
If you think there's something I should know 
You can come and share your misery with me 
Yeah with me 

If you don't come if you don't go 
If you think there's something I should know 
You can come and share your misery with me 
Yeah with me
