ORIGINAL ME
Price
Mirror mirror please believe
I need to find a sign
All of my life's spent wondering
Who's hiding behind this face of mine
Confusion, illusion, a misinterpretation,
Of the original me.
I need a sign, a simple chime
A windblown kiss across my mind
Solitude in the craziness
Of a world gone mad, a world behind
Confusion, illusion, a misinterpretation,
Of the original me.
What big thoughts you have
I can see them in your eyes
When you pretend to laugh
The reflection I see
Reminds me of somebody like me
Chance the day and spring a laugh
Don't stray off the beaten path
Mental prostitution,
In this universal institution
Confusion, illusion, a misinterpretation,
Of the original me.
Confession, aggression, my time to end the session
One bang and I'm free
What big thoughts
you have
I can see them in your eyes
When you pretend to laugh
The reflection I see
Reminds me of somebody like me
What big thoughts you have
I can see them in your eyes
When you pretend to laugh
The reflection I see
Reminds me of somebody like me
Alvarez
Today she made the pain stop
With the sound of her voice
I've learned to live with doubt
And I've learned to live without
But not by choice
I've had enough sad memories
To last me all my life
I've learned to live with doubt
And I've learned to live without
But not this time
Well, I was walking wounded
I said "never again"
She makes it easy
She's my best friend, my best friend
She's right
I look in her eyes
I like what I find
I've learned to live with doubt
And I've learned to live without
But not this time
We speak the same anguish
When we make love she smiles
I've learned to live with doubt
And I've learned to live without
But not this time
Well, I was walking wounded
I said "never again"
She makes it so easy
She's my best friend, my best friend
She's right
Well, I was walking
wounded
I said "never again"
She makes me happy
To be her best friend
She says she's my best friend
She's right
SHREEN
Stevenson
What do we do?
What do you think we should do, Shreen?
What do you think about me and you?
Today I heard the song that was playing
When I first kissed you
I woke up next to someone who wasn't you
I never thought I'd say this, Shreen
But I'm not happy
Today I'm driving to your house
And you're going to hear the truth
What do we do?
What do you think we should do, Shreen?
What do you think about me and you?
The passion we once felt has died
And it's not coming back
If we don't find a new one
Then it's all over for you and I
So, talk to me, say something
See me through everything
(Your eyes say everything)
Yell at me, say anything
I see you in everything
(I can't look at you)
And Shreen,
No, we can't say goodnight
Until we know what's right
And we can't face the day
Unless we find a way
And we can't solve it all
If we never see the fault
Today I heard the song that was playing
When I first kissed you
I woke up next to someone who wasn't you
What do we do?
What do you think we should do, Shreen?
What do you think about me and you, Shreen?
(What do we do?)
What do you think we should do, Shreen?
What do you think about me and you, Shreen?
(What do we do?)
What do you think we should do, Shreen?
(I don't know)
'CAUSE
Alvarez
Up, from the mud
One seed, four seasons
Just because is good enough
Of a reason
Every pain you've ever known
Was coaxing diamonds out of coal
Have no fear at all
You have a soul, it can't be owned
Take the heat, take control
You're free
And that's the only way to be
Up, from the dust
One heart, ten fingers
Just because is good enough
It's the only reason
Every pain you've ever known
Was coaxing diamonds out of coal
Have no fear at all
You have a soul, it can't be owned
Take the heat, take control
You're free
Every pain you've
ever known
Was coaxing diamonds out of coal
Have no fear at all
You have a soul, it can't be owned
Take the heat, take control
You're free
And that's the only way to be
BAIL
Alvarez
Let's bail
I don't want to be here,
Let's bail.
I want to leave here,
Let's bail, let's bail, let's bail.
Let's bail
Agitate the gravel
Let's bail
Saddle up and travel
Let's bail, let's bail, let's bail
This is the most boring
place I know
Like a mashed potato sandwich with mayo on white
Chances are that fun is somewhere else,
So let's go there
And leave this mess alone
Let's bail.
EXCUSES
Alvarez
There's nothin' to do
There's nothin' to do around here
Never nothin'
There's nothin' to do around here
Well, I've heard it everywhere I go
Don't make it true
No, I've had it
You're so bored, you're boring
It don't excuse your abuse
'Cause I got no sympathy
Excuses are cheap, bullshit's free
Apathy and entropy
Excuses are cheap, bullshit's free
Well, you can blame it on God (nothin' to do)
Or destiny (nothin' to do)
You can blame the stars (nothin' to do)
Or you can blame me (nothin' to do)
But it's your responsibility
Excuses are a total loss
They don't change a goddamn thing
Least of all the way you are
I got no sympathy
Excuses are cheap,
bullshit's free
Apathy and entropy
Excuses are cheap, bullshit's free
There's nothin' to
do (nothin' to do)
There's nothin' to do around here (nothin' to do)
Never nothin' (nothin' to do)
There's nothin' to do around here (nothin' to do)
There's nothin' to do (nothin' to do)
There's nothin' to do around here (nothin' to do)
Never nothin' (nothin' to do)
There's nothin' to do around here
STRIP
BAR
Egerton
1, 2, 3, 4!
I went to the strip
bar
Tried to grab her by the world
But a big guy beat me up
And threw me out the back door
Of the strip bar
HORIZONTAL
Alvarez
I'm tired of being lonely all the time
Said c'mon, dive in, the water's warm and fine
Let's shake and sweat, break the bed
Ready on your mark get set
It's a horizontal party, it's a party for two tonight
They're gonna hear the screamin' from Tokyo to Berlin
She's got a tight schedule but I think that she can
fit me in
Day and night from A.M. to P.M.
It's alright
When she says when, alright
Top or bottom
Sideways, upside down
Let's do the dance that makes the world go 'round
Let's shake and sweat, break the bed
Ready on your mark get set
It's a horizontal party, it's a party for two tonight
(It's a horizontal party, it's a party for two)
Well, it's a horizontal party, it's a party for two
tonight
GUILTY
Stevenson
I know I suck already
You don't even have to tell me
I'm guilty
I feel guilty all the time
I did everything you thought
I only stopped 'cause I got caught
And I'm guilty
I feel guilty all the time
She's leavin' today
There's no other way
No need for me to say what was on my mind
Everything I've done has been a waste of our time
I'm just guilty
I'm guilty
You're going to leave me when you hear this song
I've been lying to you all along
And I'm guilty
I feel guilty all the time
You're innocent and I'm in shame
I don't even remember their names
And I'm guilty
I feel guilty all the time
She's leaving today
There's no other way
To keep her from crying all the time
All the lies are what made it a crime
I'm just guilty
I'm guilty
What's done is done
I don't want to defend myself
This time it's all my fault
You say you've lost all respect
'Cause I've gone against everything I've said
I'll probably end up dead and alone
Drove away the coolest girl I've known
And I'm guilty
I feel guilty all the time
She's leavin' today
There's no other way
No need for me to say what was on my mind
Everything I've done has been a waste of our time
I'm just guilty
I'm guilty
I feel guilty
I'm guilty
BIRTHDAY
I.O.U.
Stevenson
I.O.U. so many things
I.O.U. everything
But I can't repay you
And it's too late to save you
There really wasn't a choice
Seventeen was just too young
I couldn't hear your voice
I couldn't feel your living
I.O.U. so many things
I.O.U. everything
But I can't repay you
And it's too late to save you
My son, my mistake
My son, my mistake
I know you could have
been a girl baby,
Now you can't be anything
We needed you to prove our love,
We used you, then we killed you
I.O.U. so many things
I.O.U. everything
But I can't repay you
And it's too late to save you
My son, my mistake
My son, my mistake
Right to life? Who
decides?
Is there wrong and right?
When mom and dad treated you so bad
We made our own decisions,
No one else's business
We'll learn to live with our mistakes
Live by learning from our mistakes
My mistake
I.O.U. so many things
I.O.U. everything
But I can't repay you
And it's too late to save you
My son, my mistake
My son, (I owe you so many things) my mistake
My son, (I owe you so many things) my mistake
My son (I owe you so many things)
ROSCO
Rob
Williamson, Egerton
Held up, waiting in line
All raped up, all rapped out
All raped up, becoming wiped out
Where are we all going?
We're just blowing time, we're just blowing time
I've got this fantasy
It's a fourth gear ecstasy
In held up situations like these
I'd really like to be the king of all of me
23 going on 0 to 150
Ten foot golden mags, high-octane rocket fuel
I let my lady drive, so I can steer the tunes
In just a couple seconds, we'll be breathin' g's
Nugent's cranked to ten, come on and breathe the
breeze
Cut off that white Miata, roll over that Toyota
Corolla
This is the righteous release
Now we're really gaining speed, there's been a chain
reaction
All the other cooped up slaves are following me
Destroy that A.M./P.M., get all the cops where we can
see 'em
It's time for it all to come down
In just a couple seconds, we'll be breathin' g's
Nugent's cranked to ten, come on and breathe the
breeze
Where are we all going?
STICK
Price
He kicked back on the sofa, put his feet up
And poured himself a drink
She stood in front of the ball game and said
"Don't you ever think?
I'm trying to save our lives,
I'm trying to open your eyes,
But you just sit there and pretend
You're not missing a thing"
He jumped up with a six pack and headed for the door
and to the car
She hollered for him to come back in,
And she headed down the hall,
Grabbed a suitcase and threw it on the bed
Started crying and she bowed her head
She thought love was what it was all about
But she ain't learnin' a thing
"Why must you
act the way you do?
Why can't you believe in me and you?
Is there something wrong with me,
That makes you act the way you do?
Do you desire to kiss me,
Do you ever really miss me?"
Some simple questions
Answer now or it's on to the next one
Sixty-five in a school
zone
Thinkin' 'bout the wife he left at home
Old memories were pounding into his head
He stopped to use the phone
"I'm truly sorry for what I've done
I swear to God that you're the only one
And if you'd only let me come back home
I'd love to be there for you"
"Why must I act
the way I do?
Why can't I believe in me and you?
Is there something wrong with me,
That makes me act the way I do?
Yes I desire to kiss you
And I always miss you"
Some simple questions
Answer now "you're the only one"
CRUCIFIED
Price,
Egerton
Unaware and all alone
His faith is God and he has none
Beaten down, torn apart, bleeding hands
Was I the first to be crucified?
King of fools or king of pride?
I'll be the next to be crucified
Salvation is clawing at my back
Temptation is tearing through the cracks
Frustration is always bringing me back
Was I the first to be crucified?
King of fools or king of pride?
I'll be the next to be crucified
Cast a light left and right
Searching high and low
Just to find my place
Ere and dale, no avail
It's a race to the death
Was I the first to be crucified?
King of fools or king of pride?
I'll be the next to be crucified
Cast a light left and right
Searching high and low
Just to find my place
Ere and dale, no avail
It's a race to the death
Cast a light left and right
Searching high and low
Just to find my place
Ere and dale, no avail
It's a race to the death
It's a loss of faith
POLITICS
Stevenson,
Price
Keep your politics out of my life
Your politics out of my face
Your politics out of my way
Maybe I wanna drink myself to death
Yeah, I voted - for none of the above
Who the fuck are you to tell me what to believe in?
Keep your politics out of my life
Your politics out of my way
Your politics out of my music
Nobody can control me
I'm gonna do what I wanna do
Hey Mr. President, you can suck my cock
Ain't no motherfucker gonna tell me what to do
SELF-RIGHTEOUS
Alvarez
Self-righteous crusader
Don't care what you don't do
You talk the straight edge, but you walk the crooked mile
Don't misjudge me, cause I ain't on trial
Just because I suck
Don't mean you're off the hook
Just cause you're not drunk
Don't think you're not fucked up
A lot of good people like to have a good time
Even Jesus Christ turned the water into wine
Self-Rrighteous crusader
Fuck me, and the same to you
I'ts my body, I'll get high if I want to
Go dry if I want to
Die if I want to
Just because I suck
Don't mean you're off the hook
Just cause you're not drunk
Don't think you're not fucked up
A lot of good people like to have a good time
Even Jesus Christ turned the water into wine
Don't confuse sobriety with
morality
There's a lot of sober murderers
Just look at history
But I'm still an O.K. guy
Even if I want to get high somtimes, high sometimes, high sometimes
Just because I suck
Don't mean you're off the hook
Just cause you're not drunk
Don't think you're not fucked up
A lot of good people like to have a good time
Even Jesus Christ turned the water into wine
Self-righeous crusader
Don't care what you don't do
MILLION
BUCKS
Stevenson,
Alvarez
Everybody says they want a million bucks
But I'd rather have a million days with you
My account doesn't go that high
It doesn't mean you have to say goodbye to me
Can't promise you a million bucks
But I can promise that I'll be good to you
Everybody wants a million bucks
But I'd rather have a million days with you
Day one we'd go fishing
Dollar movies on day two
Days three and four we'd spend in bed
Just like we used to do
A million days with you would go by much too fast
But I've got a million ways to make our friendship last
I've got a million ways
Everybody says they want a million bucks
But I'd rather have a million days with you
My account doesn't go that high
It doesn't mean you have to say goodbye to me
Day five we would ride our bikes
Camping on day six
Days seven and eight I'd show you how much I love you
A million days with you would go by much too fast
But I've got a million ways to make our friendship last
I've got a million ways
Everybody says they
want a million bucks
But I'd rather have a million days with you
My account doesn't go that high
It doesn't mean you have to say goodbye to me
I can't promise you a million bucks
But I can promise that I'll be good to you
Everybody wants a million bucks
But I'd rather have a million days with you
A million days with you
A billion days with you
UNCLE
CRITIC
Stevenson,
Egerton
Critic, uncle fucking
critic
Critic, uncle fucking critic
Critic, uncle fucking critic
You're always printing
shit about me
You're still five years behind me
If you know anything about music
Let's see you pick up a fucking instrument
Critic, uncle fucking
critic
Critic, uncle fucking critic
Critic, uncle fucking critic
So if you've got anything
to say to me
Say it to my face
Don't call me homophobic
I'm not afraid of you
If you've got a problem with me
Let's settle it face to face
Critic, uncle fucking
critic
Critic, uncle fucking critic
Critic, uncle motherfucking, chicken shit,
Jealous, stupid idiot, bastard,
Wanna-be, fucking critic
MIRANDA
Price
Miranda, we met face
to face and I lost my head
Miranda, I saw your smile and felt something click inside
Miranda, fifteen hours together in Arizona, I couldn't stand up
Small talk and no small amount of beer
Last night turned into today
You were one mile high and rising
Miranda, a party for two in your hotel room
I couldn't stand it
The fun came easily, but the next day too soon
Last night turned into today
You were one mile high and rising
My mind is swimming, the bells are ringing in my ears
The sun's peaking through the curtains
Seeing you all too clear
A wink and a smile and a kiss good-bye
A wink and a smile and a kiss good-bye
A wink and a smile and a kiss good-bye
A wink and a smile and a kiss good-bye
Good-bye, so long,
I hope that I will see you around
Good-bye, so long, I hope that I will see you around
Good-bye, so long, I hope that I will see you around
Good-bye, so long, I hope that I will see you around
NOT
EASY
Price
It's been three months
since I heard your voice
I try to make myself believe that I made the right choice
It's been three months since I thought about you
I'm fooling myself, I can't live without you
I'll lay my head
down on my pillow and cry myself to sleep
It's not easy being me
It's been three months
since I've felt your skin
And all I can do is wait to touch it again
It's been three months since I heard you cry
When we made love everything seemed all right
I'll lay my head down on my pillow and cry myself to sleep
It's not easy being, it's not easy being, it's not easy being me
I was fine for the moment
But for the last three months I've been broken
Now I can't face my fears
I'm running scared
It's been three months since I've seen your smile
It's been some time since I smiled myself
It's been three months since I heard you say I love you
I've found that I can't live without hearing you say it
I'll lay my head down on my pillow and cry myself to sleep
It's not easy being, it's not easy being me
I was fine for the
moment
But for the last three months I've been broken
Now I can't face my fears
I'm running scared
Now I can't face
my fears
I'm running scared
LONG DISTANCE
Stevenson
Long distance, last good-bye
Can't give it one last try
It's all over, we didn't even cry
All I know is that
the world came between us
And the love got left behind
No news flash, funeral, half-mast flags
On the day that our love died
I'd tell you face to face
If I could look you in the eye
So I just called to say good-bye
Did you burn my pictures yet?
Anything to try to forget
It's all over, it's all I can do to stay on the line
All I know is that
the world came between us
And the love got left behind
No news flash, funeral, half-mast flags
On the day that our love died
I'd tell you face to face
If I could look you in the eye
So I just called to say good-bye
We both know how hard
it is for both of us to try
We both know how hot it is in Texas in July
So what am I supposed to say?
How's the weather anyway?
This time I called to say good-bye
Who'd have thought it would end like this?
Without even a good-bye kiss
No one can say we didn't try
The years flew past,
we tried to make it last
But the love got left behind
No news flash, funeral, half-mast flags
On the day that our love died
I'd tell you face to face
If I could look you in the eye
So I just called to say good-bye
I just called to say
There's nothing really left to say, so…
I just called to say good-bye
STALKER
Price
I know what time
you will arrive
I've been waiting for you every night
I know you can't see me
My heart skips a beat
I hear footsteps down the hall
I've been waiting right behind your door
No one will hear
Don't you worry my dear
I see, I feel, and I breathe
I lie, I steal, and I breathe
I cut the cord on your phone
I've been secretly walking you home
I know you can't see me
My heart skips a beat
Under your bed is my secret place
At night I keep the hair out of your face
No one will hear
Don't you worry my dear
I see, I feel, and I breathe
I lie, I steal, and I breathe
It's your eyes, it's your smile, it's your life
I see, I feel, and I breathe
I lie, I steal, and I breathe
It's your eyes, it's
your smile, and I breathe
It's your eyes, it's your smile, breathe
BUTTON
IT
Price
Don't tell me, don't
tell me, don't tell me,
I don't really need to know
Don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me,
I don't really need to know
You think you're so
fucking cool
You're jst a stupid ugly girl
And if I would blow out my brains
I would never have to see your face again
Don't tell me, don't
tell me, don't tell me,
I don't really need to know
Don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me,
I don't really need to know
You seem to think
you have it all
Anyone would be at your beck and call
And if I would swallow a million pills
It would be the first time
That I smiled in years
THIS
WORLD
Alvarez
Don't think I can last too long in this world
Don't feel like I belong in this world
Stranded alone on this alien beach
Everything is beyond my reach
Don't think I can make my peace with this world
Don't think I can
last too long in this world
Don't feel like I belong in this world
Stranded alone on this alien beach
Everything is beyond my reach
Don't think I can make my peace with this world
Don't think I can
take a part in this world
Ain't got the guts, ain't got the heart for this world
All my promises and plans
Run like water through my hands
Don't think I can meet the demands
Of this world
Liar, lover, loser,
saint
All I am, all I ain't
It's too much to take
But not so much to lose
Don't feel like I can live in this world
There's one alternative to this world
Solo shotgun serenade
Disconnect the plans I've laid
There's no way, I have no faith in this world
GETTIN'
THERE
Alvarez
It takes a lot to piss me off
But once I'm there, it's hard to cool me down
Take a lot to piss me off
So why you want to go and do that now?
It takes a lot of effort and time
To push me over that line
Takes a lot to piss me off
But you're gettin' there
It takes a lot to piss me off
If i get mad, i feel like a jerk
It takes a lot to piss me off
So why do you want to do that much work?
I lose my temper,
and then
It's hard to find it again
It takes a lot to piss me off
So why you gotta piss me off
It takes a lot to piss me off
But you're gettin' there
BREAKIN'
UP
Stevenson
What if I we could just talk it over
If only we could somehow find a way
Maybe we could just start all over
If only we weren't breakin' up today
I think about the good times, forget about the bad
I think about the love we tried to make and what we had
I remember the love,
and lies, and promises
I remember everything
I remember way too much
What if we could just talk it over
If only we could somehow find a way
Maybe we could just start all over
If only we weren't breakin' up today
Today we pull ourselves together
And rip ourselves apart
So many lies, and ties to sever
We don't know where to start
It's not worth us
trying to save it
And it never was
There's no way we can make it work
When we couldn't even let it work
I thought that I could
move on to someone new
But I've never loved or hated anyone but you
What if I'd
been good to you?
What if I'd been true to you?
What if we weren't breakin' up today?
Today we pull ourselves
together
And rip ourselves apart
So many lies and ties to sever,
We don't know where to start
What if I we could
just talk it over
If only we could somehow find a way
Maybe we could just start all over
If only we weren't breakin' up today
If only we weren't breakin' up today
If only we weren't breakin' up today
ON
FOOT
ALL,
Egerton
There's no car that I can't break
But there's no bus that I can take
So I'm walkin', always walkin'
Can't afford to put you into the shop
You're never on the road, you're always on blocks
You're broken, always broken
I'll scam a ride from my best friend
Something is wrong with my car again
Body's all rust, your motor's fried
Junkyard said they wouldn't give me a dime
I'm hatin', really hatin'
I'm not even gonna get you fixed
Trade you in, you piece of shit
You're worthless, totally worthless
I'll scam a ride from my best friend
Something is wrong with my car again
Busted engine, four
flat tires
When i turn the key, you catch on fire
You can't be American, you must be Mexican or from Japan
You're foreign, I said you're foreign
Just turn over for Christ's sake
Take a little ghost ride in to the lake
You're history, fuckin' history
I'll scam a ride from my best friend
Something is wrong with my car again
Is wrong with my car again
Something is wrong with my car again
BROKEN
Alvarez
I'm broken, fix me
Or "86" me
I've lost more than I ever knew I had
Felt this before, but it never hurt so bad
Well, I'm broken, out of control
How much can I hate (well, I don't know)
Let me count the ways (can't let it go)
Bend until I break (can't let it go)
Well, I can't stand
me
Or understand me
Wish I was crazy, wish I was stupid
Or sorry... Sorry
How much can I hate (well, I don't know)
Let me count the ways (can't let it go)
Bend until I break (can't let it go)
I'm broken, please
leave me alone
Soul broken, don't leave me alone
Sharp, broken, I'll cut you to the bone
Make you feel what I feel
I'm broken, fix me
Or "86" me
I've lost more than I ever knew I had
Felt this before, but it never hurt so bad
I'm broken, out of control
How much can I hate
(well, I don't know)
Let me count the ways (can't let it go)
Bend until I break (can't let it go)
BLACK
SKY
Stevenson
Black sky, black sky, what's wrong with me?
Black sky, black sky, what's wrong with me?
Nothin' means nothin'
to no one I know
Unless it's a lie
A lie is the only thing I see
When I look in their eyes
I know there's no good, but everything is bad
And it hurts to be
apart
Black sky, black sky, what's wrong with me?
Why do I cringe at
the things that they say,
And I end up with you?
Why do I try, when it's over you die,
And I'll end up with you
I know there's no right, but everything's wrong
And it hurts to be apart
Black sky, black sky, what's wrong with me?
It's me or them, them
or me
It's me or them, them or me
Black sky, black sky, what's wrong with me?
Black sky, black sky, what's wrong with me?
Nothin' means nothin' to no one I know
Unless it's a lie
A lie is the only thing I see
When I look in their eyes
I know there's no good, but everything is bad
And it hurts to be apart
Black sky, black sky, what's wrong with me?
It's me or them, them or me
It's me or them, them or me
It's me or them, them or me
