I see you from the distance
From beyond the fence you've made
Hiding all your feelings behind your barricade
Or have you been invaded?
Is this the reason why you hide?
I know just how you're feeling
I know, let me inside

Open the gate up
Open the gate up, hurry!
Open the gate up...Hurry

I want to get near you
But you won't let me in
'Cause you're so scared of losing everything you've got within
Come on, now, you can trust me
Come on, and open the door
'Cause I know just how you're feeling
I know, I've been there before

Open the gate up
Open the gate up, hurry!
Open the gate up
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Open the gate up
Open the gate up
Or I'm gonna knock the damn door down
Open the gate up
Open the gate up
Or I'm gonna knock the damn door down!

Blue In The Face

Just like a bee rushing to a comb of honey
Why can't you see you look so very funny?
You worry yourself sick 'til you're blue in the face
Relax and sleep, tomorrow isn't leaving
Counting your sheep won't relieve you from this grieving
You worry yourself sick 'til you're blue in the face

But you'll make ends meet, I know you will
So please pull up a chair
Take your time, the world's not going anywhere
Honey, you worry yourself sick until you're blue in the face

Blue in the face, 'cause you're always in a hurry
Blue in the face, 'cause you always tend to worry
You're just like a honeybee
You panic, you sting, then you die

It's just like you to fret like you do
So take the afternoon
And maybe some day soon
You won't have to worry yourself sick 'til you're blue in the face

Blue in the face, cause you're always in a hurry
Blue in the face, cause you always tend to worry
You're just like a honeybee
You panic, you sting, then you die
You're just like a honeybee...

Zap!

When you're in a state of mind they call anxiety
And you find it very necessary to pull out your hair
Don't be discouraged
Oh, honey, have courage
Don't worry yourself sick 'til you're blue in the face
Like always, you worry yourself sick 'til you're blue in the face
Honey, why worry yourself sick 'til you're blue in the face?

Blue in the face, cause you're always in a hurry
Blue in the face, cause you always tend to worry
You're just like a honeybee, you panic, you sting, then you...die
You're just like a honeybee
Blue in the face
You've got no time to waste
Slow down the pace
You're turning blue...

Total Hate

You're living your life without a care in the world
That's the way it should be
What's life like in a candy swirl?
What's life like to me?
Everyone is slowin down
Look once at life on the ground
You all are the people, they're running around
Not making a sound

Total hate!
Total hate!
Total hate!

You're mving along, just going your own way
Don't you try to change
You're jumping, you're running, you learn to play
Never try to rearrange
You're getting tired, and starting to drag
Slow it down, and that'a sad
You're walking around, you're being a skag
Huh, well that's not my bag

Total hate!
Total hate!
Total hate!

Bradley-
You don't even know me so don't hate me
Sublime rocking No Doubt stylie
We do it Monday and on Friday
Get back to the show cause it's payday
Eleven o'clock, roll, roll it down
Rock the city with the number one sound
Long beat, long beach, and we do it all the time
Rock this shit straight back to Anaheim

Gwen-
Total hate, total hate
You're so fake, you make me shake
Your faded face is so irate
You share with none, you have no one
You're living your life in total hate

Total hate!
Total hate!
Total hate!
Total hate!
Total hate!
Total hate!
Total hate!
Total hate!
Total hate!
Total hate!

Stricken

I love you completely
I couldn't be madder about you
I love you, I love you, I do

Love overcomes all my senses
Lowers all of my defenses, yeah
And all of your faults vanish to a blind daze
Your bitterness erased by my sense of taste
Harsh words are deafened by love

I love you completely
I couldn't be madder about you
I love you, I love you, I do
I love you completely
There's nothing I see bad about you
I love you, I love you, I do

Love welcomes me to every new day
The stars are all falling down my way, yeah
And all of the planets are lined in the sky
The lights are shining down upon you and I
My world is stricken by love

Kiss me over and over forever and ever my love
Kiss me all over and over forever and ever my love
The love I have for you makes me blind I can't see
The love I have for you cuts my throat I can't speak
The love I have for you makes me numb I can't feel
The love I have for you makes me numb I can't feel
But boy, oh boy, I love you
Completely

I love you, I love you, I do, do, do, do
I love you, I love you, I do, do, do, do

Greener Pastures

You're always telling me to go out more
Go ahead, get out, and see the world
But then I think
Why should I?
I'd rather stay home and cry

I never thought that I could be the other
The other way, like the other ones
Let me open wide, let you see inside
And then you might agree

Would you say they find me unstable
Cause they see me act a little bit different
But I know my way to greener pastures
Think about it, well, just
Think it over
Please...

Without you I can move
I can stretch my arms out
I can feel it
And when I'm in my room, alone, I feel good
Cause I don't have to deal with you, or the outside world

Would you say they find me unstable
Cause they see me act a little bit different
But I know my way to greener pastures
Think about it, well, just
Think it over
Please...
I guess I'll get over it
Ooh, I guess I'll get over it
I guess I'll get over it
I guess I'll get over it

Would you say they find me unstable
Cause they see me act a little bit different
But I know my way to greener pastures
Would you say they find me unstable
Cause they see me act a little bit different
But I know my way to greener pastures
Greener pastures...
See me act a little bit different
But I know my way to greener pastures

By The Way

By the way...
Every little thing about her face
Fills him up
The image so pleasing it could never be erased
Here to stay
Embedded in his mind
He wishes they could be together all the time

By the way, she says things, the tone, just to hear her voice
He can't explain
The sound so exciting to him a perfect choice
Here to stay
Embedded in his mind
He wished they could be together all the time

Crazy independent Spanish speaking arty flirty red wine drinking sexy tomboy
With a natural way of thinking carefree
Innocent she's slightly sneaky
Confident and proud from another country
Has her way
Lives for today
By the way
She's far away

By the way
Holding her, hugging her can feel so warm
Just think about it
Two bodies embracing, creating love in this form
Here to stay
Embedded in his mind
He wishes they could be together all the time

Crazy independent Spanish speaking arty flirty red wine drinking sexy tomboy
With a natural way of thinking carefree
Innocent she's slightly sneaky
Confident and proud from another country
Has her way
Lives for today
By the way
She's far away
Then she kissed him and she went away
Far across to San Francisco Bay
You'd think that she would think again
And only want to be with him
Regardless of the things that pull her away
Far away...She's far away

Crazy independent Spanish speaking arty flirty red wine drinking sexy tomboy
With a natural way of thinking carefree
Innocent she's slightly sneaky
Confident and proud from another country
Has her way
Lives for today
By the way
She's far away
And by the way
She's far away

Snakes

Open the basket
Listen to the flute play
Open the basket
Listen to the flute play
Toot toot toot play...

Open the basket
Lie to lead you astray
Open the basket
Force to make you betray
Your innermost truths hidden away

Now you're falling down into the underground
As you slither down into your lair
Hidden in the many trenches of a hopeless war
Those who weren't sold out by a corporate board

Carry the casket
Nevermind the gunspray
Bury the casket
Pawns in someone's gameplay
Shoot shoot shoot obey

Subscription to the spreading of lies
Soldier catches a glimpse of his demise
Deep down inside even he knows
Snakes come in many shapes and sizes
Snakes have no hands to be tied

Concoction of malicious lies
Deep inside the general despises himself
Listen to the flute play
Another reptile in line
Snakes without grass cannot hide

Now you're falling down into the underground
As you slither down into your lair
Forked tongues spread the poison with a toxic sting
So much pain their serpentine inhibitions bring

That's Just Me

You think that I will never change
but you know that that will never be
I'm just that way
And that's just me
It's just the way I am
And I am doing all I can
Why can't you see
I just can't change

I couldn't care less
What you see
I'm just never the less here for me

You're always getting what you want
But you still keep looking
I guess you're never going to get what you need
With your eyes wide open
You still keep looking for your dreams
That's just me

It doesn't matter what you say
My confidence will lead the way
Words will never do
Sad but true
And if I didn't act this way
Well, that just wouldn't do
Cause I'm not you

I couldn't care leaa
What you see
I'm just here never the less for me

You always getting what you want
But you still keep looking
I guess you're never going to get what you need
With your eyes wide open
You still keep looking for your dreams
That's just me

That's just the way I am
I'm no Larry or a Sam
Why can't you see
I'm just that way

Well there it is, it's right here, so crystal clear
Well there it is, it's right here, so crystal clear
In front of my face
I could care less...What you see...

Squeal

I can't begin to tell you
How bad I feel about it
So now that this is all out
How do you feel about your profit?

Why can't you keep a secret?
Why'd you squeal?
I thought that I could trust you
Why'd you squeal?

I thought we had agreed
That we were in this together
But now that you have betrayed me
I've got no other option

Why can't you keep a secret?
Why'd you squeal?
I thought that it was private
It's a tea party and you're all invited
To the narc that wrote it and said it

You can always smell out a stinkin' tattletale
Come out of a shell I think
So they can break the link
When everyone knows it squeals
And that is just as well
A kiss of death goes out to those who rat and fink
Why'd you squeal?

Why can't you keep a secret?
Why'd you squeal?
I thought that it was private
It's a tea party and you're all invited
To the narc that wrote it and said it

I can't begin to tell you
How bad I feel about it
I hear the leaky faucet
It's a tea party and you're all invited
To kill the narc who wrote and said it
Kill the narc who wrote and said it
Who's the narc who wrote and said it?

Doghouse

Out to the doghouse with you
That's what she said
You've been inside too long now
I must clean up the mess

Go into the backyard, will you
And practice your tricks
Go take yourself for a walk
You make me sick!

But you're just a doggie
In a snap, you're fetching the bone
And you're barking when she calls

Hiding out behind the fence
You've been disobedient

Your fun and playfulness is so very becoming
But she's got you by the reins
There is no running
Conditioned to salivate at the first sound of the bell
Feeding you the remains of yesterday's meal
Can you hear her calling from within the house?

You're just a doggie
In a snap, you're fetching the bone
And you're barking when she calls

Hiding out bewhind the fence
You've been disobedient
Shape up boy!

Can you hear her calling from within the house?
If you would stop barking she might let you out...
At last, she opens the backgate
You're free now to roam
You've been waiting for this moment some time now
And now you must go
Into the fields
Where this is laughter
There is peace
And you're comfortable
Try to hold on now before she calls you home!

You're in the doghouse
Cause you're just a dog!

You think that we connect
That the chemistry's correct
Your words walk right through my ears
Presuming I like what I hear
And now I'm stuck in the web you're spinning
You've got me for your prey

Sorry, I'm not home right now
Walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message and I'll call you back
A likely story, but
Leave a message and I'll call you back

You're intruding on what's mine
And you're taking up my time
Don't have the courage inside me
To tell you please, let me be

Communication
Telephonic invasion
I'm planning my escape

Sorry, I'm not home right now, walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message and I'll call you back
A likely story, but
Leave a message and I'll call you back

And it's all your fault
I screen my phone calls
No matter who calls
Gotta screen my phone calls

Now it's gone too deep
You wake me in my sleep
My dreams become nightmares
Cause you're ringing in my ears

Sorry, I'm not home right now
Walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message and I'll call you back
A likely story, but
Leave a message and I'll call you back

Excuse Me Mister

I'm like a beggar with no luck
I'm holding signs up on all your street corner stops
Like most, you try not to see me
Stare straight ahead, ignore the responsibility
Excuse me (Excuse me mister)
Well, I've been waiting in line
And I'd like to buy some of your time
I'm very anxious, eager, willing
What's your billing?

So please excuse me, mister
You've got things all wrong
You make it feel like a crime
So don't confuse me, mister
I've known you too long
All I need is a little of your time

For most love comes for free
They don't pay the high cost of mental custody
I'll pay bail for a gaurantee
Make space for me in the time yet to be
Excuse me
Well, I've been waiting in line
And I'd like to buy some of your time
I've been saving up my life
What's your price?

So please excuse me, mister
You've got things all wrong
You make it feel like a crime
So don't confuse me, mister
I've known you way too long
All I need is a little of your time

What should I do?
I'm about to crack
And there's a force that comes over me
It's almost as if, I'm tied to the tracks
And I'm waiting for him to rescue me
The funny thing is, he's not going to come
He's not going to find me
This is a matter of fact
The desire you lack
This is the way I guess it has to be

A little of your time...
I need a little of your time...
Please, a little of your time

So please excuse me, mister
You've got things all wrong
You make it feel like a crime
So don't confuse me, mister
I've known you way too long
All I need is a little of your time

Just A Girl

Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed, and it's no big suprise
Don't you think I know exactly where I stand?
This world is forcing me to hold your hand

Cause I'm just a girl
Little ol' me
Well, don't let me out of your sight
Oh, I'm just a girl
All pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights
Oh...I've had it up to here

The moment that I step outside
So many reasons for me to run and hide
I can't do the little things
That I hold so dear
Cause it's all those little things
That I fear

Cause I'm just a girl
I'd rather not be
Cause they won't let me drive late at night
Oh, I'm just a girl
Guess I'm some kind of freak
Cause they often stare with their eyes
Oh, I'm just a girl
Take a good look at me
Just your typical prototype

Oh...I've had it up to here

Oh...Am I making myself clear?

I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in the world
That's all that you'll let me be

Oh, I'm just a girl living in captivity
Your rule of thumb makes me worry some
Oh, I'm just a girl
What's my destiny?
What I've succumbed to is making me numb
Oh, I'm just a girl
Lucky me
Twiddle-dum, there's no comparison

Oh...I've had it up to
Oh...I've had it up to
Oh...I've had it up to...Here

Happy Now?

You had the best, but you gave her up
Cause dependency might interrupt
Idealistic will so hard to please
Put your indecisive mind at ease

You broke the set
Now there's only singles
There's no looking back
This time I mean it

Are you happy now?
Tell me how
Are you happy now?
Are you happy?

The uncertainty you had of me
Brought clouded, shaded company
The tenderness habitual
A seldom-fading ritual

You killed the pair
Now only one is breathing
There's no looking back
This time I mean it

Are you happy now?
Tell me how?
Are you happy now?
Are you happy?

No more leaning on your shoulder
I won't be there, no more bother
If you feel you just might want me
That's too bad, I'm not that easy

The contemplator all those years
Now you must adhere to your new career
Of liberation, you've been cast all by yourself
You're free at last

You broke the set
Now there's only singles
There's no looking back
This time I mean it

Are you happy now?
Tell me how
Are you happy now?
Are you happy?

You're by yourself
All by yourself
You've got no one else
You're by yourself

All by yourself
All by yourself
All by yourself...
No one else
No one else...By yourself...By yourself...

Different People

Well, things can be broken down in this world of ours
You don't have to be a famous person just to mark your mark
A mother can be an inspiration to her little son
Change his thoughts, his mind, his life
Just with her gentle hum

So different, yet, so the same
Two sisters only have their parents to blame
It's rare the two can get along
But when they do, they're inseperable
Such a blessing comes to few

The sky is full of clouds and my world's full...Of people
You got the different kinds, with the different ways
It would take a lifetime to explain
Not one's exactly the same

He and she, two different people
With two seperate lives
Then you put the two together,
You get a spetacular suprise, cause
One can teach the other one, what she doesn't know
While still the other fills a place inside
He never knew had room to grow

The sky is full of clouds and my world's full...Of people
You got the different kinds, with the different ways
It would take a lifetime to explain
Not one's exactly the same

Once in a while I like to sit back and think about the planet
And most of the time I trip on it
To kick back and think about how massive it all is
And how many others are on it

I often think about the world, in which I live today
Of animals, plants, and nature's gifts, set on display
But the most amazing thing that I've seen in my time
Are all the different people, and all their different minds

Hey You

Hey you, with the wedding dress on
Made of white chiffon, blowing in the wind
Hey you, with the dreams in your head
You've been so mislead by your heart's pull

I know you're waiting for your ship to come in
You're anxiously waiting for such a long time

You're just like my Ken and Barbie doll
You dress up and play the game
You're just like my Ken and Barbie doll
Your name will never change

Hey you, with eyes full of hope
You think you can rope your desire
Hey you, you naive thing
Your patience in time will tire

I know you're waiting for your tide to roll in
How did you ever get such high hopes?

You're just like my Ken and Barbie doll
You dress up and play the game
You're just like my Ken and Barbie doll
Your name will never change

I know you're waiting for your life to begin
Oh, wake up, girl, you've got it all wrong
You want the prize, but you're not going to win
Oh, face it, girl, you've got it all wrong

You're just like my Ken and Barbie doll
You dress up and play the game
You're just like my Ken and Barbie doll
Your name will never change

You're just like my Ken and Barbie doll
In a plastic world of make-believe
You're just like my Ken and Barbie doll
You know he's just gonna leave

The Climb

Step by step, I come closer to reaching the top
Every step must be made so that I don't fall off
Looking down to see about how much higher I am
Another cool wind comes through, brushes my skin

The harder I push, the tension does grow
I gather my thoughts the further and further I go
With some luck, I just might keep on climbing
So much better to climb than to face a fall

So high, the climb, but I can't turn back now
Must keep climbing on up to the clouds
So high, the climb, but I can't turn back now
Must keep climbing on up to the clouds

Pulling myself up by rope I better my view
The only thing in sight is what I must do
As I turned, I could see myself falling
Which, in return gave me strength for the climb

So high, the climb, but I can't turn back now
Must keep climbing on up to the clouds
So high, the climb, but I can't turn back now
Must keep climbing on up to the clouds

Although many have failed
I must now prevail, with no question
Have no time to stop
Onward to the top of the mountain

And I can't turn back now
It's so very high, but I can't turn back now

If I keep it up, I'm gonna make it
I'm so very close, can't you see?

So high, the climb, but I can't turn back now
Must keep climbing on up to the clouds
So high, the climb, but I can't turn back now
Must keep climbing on up to the clouds

I'm getting closer...

Sixteen

You've been a juvenile, with a dolphin smile
With no elbow room, with your body in bloom
You've had your little backyard, protected by big walls
You didn't dare look over, cause you've been too small

Now, you're finally sixteen, and you're feeling old
But they won't believe that you've got a soul
Cause you're only sixteen, and you're feeling real
But you can't seem to cop a feel

Why do they have to force us through this metamorphose?
Little butterfly, no matter how you try
You'll be segregated, you're gonna be closed off
You're callow and you're green
Cause you're caught between

Now you're finally sixteen, trying to cross the line
But your little wings are intertwined
You're only sixteen, and you're such a tease
But there's nothing you can do that can really please

These children...
They're not really bad, most of them
Just products of rotten neighborhoods and bad family situations

You know you can't forsake it, so sit back and take it
You see, you're just not ripe, so don't try and fight

You're only sixteen, you wanna catch a peek
Well, you're only sixteen, with a lot to say
But they won't give you the time of day

You're only sixteen!
You're only sixteen!
You're only sixteen!
You poor little thing

Sunday Morning

Sappy pathetic little me
That was the girl I used to be
You had me on my knees

I'd trade you places any day
I never thought you could be that way
You looked like me on Sunday

You came in with the breeze on Sunday morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you well
So well

You're trying my shoes on for a change
They look so good, yet feel so strange
Out of fashion, so I can complain

You came in with the breeze on Sunday Morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you well
So well

I know who I am but who are you?
You're not looking like you used to
You're on the other side of the mirror
So nothing's looking quite as clear
Thank you for turning on the light
Thank you, now you're the parasite
I didn't think you had it in you
And now you're looking like I used to

You came in with the breeze on Sunday morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
And you want me badly, cause you cannot have me!
I thought I knew you
But I've got a new view
I thought I knew you well
Oh well

Don't Speak

You and me
We used to be together
Every day together
Always
I really feel that I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe this could be the end
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real, well, I don't want to know

Don't speak, I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't speak, I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether mighty frightening

As we die, both, you and I
With my head in my hands, I sit and cry

Don't speak, I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't speak, I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are

You and me...
I can see us dying...Are we?

Don't speak, I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't speak, I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't tell me cause it hurts!
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't speak
Don't speak
Don't speak, oh

You Can Do It

Since you've been gone
Since you've been unglued
It's hard to figure out your next move
One minute you're here, the next you're gone
Let's make an end to this sad, sad song

For you it's hard to take
Cause the pill has an awful taste
Just open up and swallow down
Once it hits bottom, things will turn around

Unfortunately, this is the case
You've got to catch up, and win the race
And straighten yourself out
You can do it
You're gonna do it
You'll get through it, oh yeah

Everything you say has been taken wrong
Let's just say it's a sad, sad song
They can't understand that you're meant to do good
I guess you could say you're misunderstood

I know you're meaning well
But you've been shot to hell
Just come back and join us now
Cause I know that you know how

Unfortunately, this is the case
Yuo've got to catch up and win the race
And straighten yourself out
You can do it
You're gonna do it
You'll get through it, oh yeah

I know it seems they're messing with your mind
But you don't have to go forward blind
So let the bygones be bygones
And let's make an end to this sad, sad song

Unfortunately, this is the case
You've got to catch up and win the race
And straighten yourself out
You can do it
You're gonna do it
You'll get through it, oh yeah

World Go 'Round

In the quickness of our haste
We simply forget how to live
The old blueprint no longer manifests itself
As the correct way to exist
So wipe the grime off the viewhole
And please, take a closer look
Environmental bandits, up to their shenanigans
Crooks disguised, crooks disguised

We gotta find another way to make the world go 'round
We gotta find another way to make the world go 'round

Our individual roles we think
Not so important to the plot
The big picture, unseen
Leaving lines in between
Destroyed and overwrought
There's no need to point the finger
We understand who takes the blame
Delinquints caught red-handed in the act
Crooks disguised as you and I

We gotta find another way to make the world go 'round
We gotta find another wya to make the world go 'round

Now there are many, many people in the world
And I'm not sure if I like what I've done
I'm not sure if I like what I'm doing myself
I'm not sure if I like how it turns

Degradation
I'm in violation
Inexcusable exploitation

It's the dawning of a new era
People consiously don't care
How unfair

We gotta find another way to make the world go 'round
We gotta find another way to make the world go 'round

End It On This

You see, in the past I had a dream, a fantasy
I thought that we would last, become a little family
Then 1, 2, 3, 4, the years went flying by, they soared
And it's my gut feeling it's not happening for me

Let's end it on this
Give me one last kiss
Let's end it on this
Let's end it on this

You see, it's hard to face the addict that's inside of me
I want to fill my glass up with you constantly
I've been here before, but I've never ever felt this sure
And now I know I've been dreaming
And your actions have inspired me

Let's end it on this
Give me one last kiss
Let's end it on this
Let's end it on this

I open up, you ignore me
Oh, you're not the same at all
And if I turned back the pages of time
I'd rewrite your point of view

Washed up on the shore
Given one last chance to try some more
But I'm tired, I'm freezing
Let's stop and call it history

Let's end it on this
Let's end it on this
Let's end it on this
End it on this...

Tragic Kingdom

Once was a magical place, over time it was lost
Price increased the cost
Now the fortune of the kingdom is locked up in its dungeon vaults
The castle floor lies in traps, with coiled wires set back
Decoyed by old cheese
Now the drawbridge has been lifted as the millions, they drop to their knees

They pay homage to a king whose dreams are buried in their minds
His tears are frozen stiff, icicles drip from his eyes

The cold wind blows as it snows on those who fight to get in
On heads that are small
Disillusioned, as they enter, they're unaware of what's behind castle walls
But now it's written in stome, the king has been overthrown
By jesterly fools
And the power of the people shall come to believe they do rule

They pay homage to a king whose dreams are buried in their minds
His tears are frozen stiff, icicles drip from his eyes

Welcome to the Tragic Kingdom
Cornfields of popcorn have yet to spring open

Have they lost their heads?
Or are they all just blind mice?
We've heard all their stories one too many times
Hypnotized by fireflies that glow in the dark
Midgets that disguise themselves as tiny little dwarves
The parade that's electrical, it serves no real purpose
Just takes up a lot of juice, just to impress us

Welcome to the Tragic Kingdom
Cornfields of popcorn have yet to spring open

Ex-Girlfriend

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them
And you know it makes me sick to be on that list
But I should've thought of that before we kissed

You say you're gonna burn before you mellow
I will be the one to burn you
Why'd you have to go and pick me?
When you knew that we were different, completely?

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend

I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should've thought of that before we kissed

Your wildness scares me
So does your freedom
You say you can't stand the restrictions
I find myself trying to change you
If you were meant to be my lover, I wouldn't have to

And I feel so mean, I feel in between
Cause I'm about to give you away

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
(For someone else to take)
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
(Am I making a mistake?)
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them
(All that time that we've spent)
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girl...friend

We keep repeating mistakes for souveniers
And we've been in between the days for years
And I know that when I see you I'm going to die
I know I'm gonna want you, and you know why
It's gonna kill me to see you with the next girl
Cause I'm the most gorgeously jealous kind of ex-girl

But I should've thought of that before we kissed

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend

I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should've thought of that before we kissed
I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list
Should've thought of that before we kissed

Simple Kind Of Life

For a long time, I was in love
Not only in love, I was obsessed
With a friendship that no one else could touch
It didn't work out, I'm covered in shells

And all I wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life
And all I needed was a simple man
So I could be a wife

I'm so ashamed, I've been so mean
I don't know how it got to this point
I always was the one with all the love
You came along, I'm hunting you down
Like a sick, domestic abuser
Looking for a fight
And all I wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life

If we met tomorrow for the very first time
Would it start all over again?
Would I try to make you mine?

I always thought I'd be a mom
Sometimes I wish for a mistake
The longer that I wait the more selfish that I get
You seem like you'd be a good dad

And all those simple things are simply too complicated for my life
How'd I get so faithful to my freedom?
A selfish kind of life
When all I ever wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life

Bathwater

You and your museum of lovers
The precious collection you've housed in your covers
My simpleness threatened by my own admission
And the bags are much too heavy
In my insecure position
My pregnant mind is fat full with envy again

But I still love to wash in your old bathwater
Love to think that you couldn't love another
I can't help it...You're my kind of man

Wanted and adored by attractive women
Bountiful selection, natural discretion
I know I'm diving into my own destruction

So why do we choose the boys that are naughty?
I don't fit in, so why do you want me?
I know I can't tame you but I just keep trying

Cause I still love to wash in your old bathwater
Love to think that you couldn't love another
I can't help it...You're my kind of man

Why do the good girls always want the bad boys?

So I pacify problems with kisses and cuddles
Diligently doubtful through all kinds of trouble
And I find myself choking on all my contradictions

Cause I still love to wash in your old bathwater
Love to think that you couldn't love another
Share a toothbrush...You're my kind of man

I can't help myself
No, I can't help myself
I still love to wash in your old bathwater

Six Feet Under

In the morning I wake up
In the night I sleep
Since the day that I was born
Repeat, repeat, repeat
Brought to this life
Born to this life
Where was I before?
Non-existent?Not at all?
Will I ever know?

Today's my birthday, I get one every year
And someday
Hard to believe but I'll be buried six feet underground

Subconsiously motivated natural instinct
Alter nature for the pleasure
Orthocycline
Flirt with conception
Slow the cycle
Will the baby grow?
Social tradition interference
Control, control, control

Today's my birthday, I get one every year
And someday
Hard to believe but I'll be buried six feet underground

Spinning, spinning
Before I can recall all the unknown chemicals
Control the cycle
The successive generations
From dust to dust
Burying my grandma
Then give birth to my own daughter

Today's my birthday, I get one every year
And someday
Hard to believe but I'll be buried six feet underground
I'll be dead and no longer around
I'll be buried six feet underground

Magic's In The Make-Up

Can you tell I'm faking it?
But I wanna be myself
A counterfeit disposition
Can't be good for my health

So many different faces
Depending on my different phases
My personality changes
I'm a chameleon
There's more than one dimension
I can fool you and attract attention
Camouflage my nature, let me demonstrate

Makeup's all off
Who am I?
Magic's in the makeup
Who am I?

If you bore me then I'm comfortable
If you interest me I'm scared
My attraction paralyzes me
No courage to show my true colors that exist

But I want to be the real thing
But if you catch my eye, can't be authentic
The ones that that I loathe are the ones that know me the best

Makeup's all off
Who am I?
Magic's in the makeup
Who am I?

Makeup's all off
Who am I?
If the magic's in the makeup
Then who am I?
Magic's in the makeup
But I wanna be the real thing
But the magic's in the makeup
And I wanna be the real thing

My makeup's all off
Who am...I?

Artificial Sweetener

Oh yes, I'm guilty
For leasing myself out
Not ready to go up for sale
Can't seem to give it up
Stubborn, so selfish
I'm showing off the worst in me

The return of Saturn
Assessing my life
Second guessing

I'm full of artificial sweetener
My heart's been deceitful
It's all artificial sweetener
I'm faking I love you's
You're forcing me to

Oh, you really deserve love
I want to love you
But I can't seem to find myself
My wilting effort
Our progress report
I'm only sure that I'm not sure

I shudder to be honest
Who's behind it all now?
Who's the author?

I'm full of artificial sweetener
My heart's been deceitful
It's all artificial sweetener
I'm faking I love you's
You're forcing me to

Reread, rewrite, redo, undo
I'm stuck on this page
I was born two weeks too late
Is that why I hesitate?
I'm on the fence
Push me off it
I want to be on your side now
And keep a promise

I'm full of artificial sweetener
My heart's been deceitful
It's all artificial sweetener
I'm faking I love you's
You're forcing me to

Marry Me

I can't help that I like to be kissed
And I wouldn't mind if my name changed to Mrs.
This is one side, my conventional side
An attraction to tradition, my vintage disposition
My sincere architecture, and I want him to cook dinner
But I'm more indecisive than ever, and who believes in forever?

Who will be the one to marry me?

A girl in the world barking up the wrong tree
A creature conditioned to employ matrimony
Crumbling continuity, I pick up the pieces
The ceremony makes me zealous as the past quickly ceases
Fear from being neutered, I'm now prude, now defensive
Quickly I'm altered and tempted by new love only rented

Do you believe you would marry me?
You might be the one to marry me

Back, looking back, looking back at me
I'm not how I used to be
Take me back, take me back, into history
Diamond ring, tie me down just like it used to be

Marry me...Marry me
Forever and ever and ever...

New

Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I can't believe I've had this chance now
Don't let it go away

New...You're so new
You...You're new
And I've never had this taste in my past
New...You're so new

Normal hesitation is gone
And I really gravitate to your will
Are you here to fetch me out?
Cause I've never had this taste in my mouth

Oh, you're not old
And you're not familiar
Recently discovered, and I'm learning about you

New...You're so new
You...You're new

And you're consuming me violently
And your reverance shamelessly tempting me
Who sent this maniac?
Cause I've never had this taste in my past

Oh, you're different
You're different from the former
Recently discovered, and I'm learning about you

Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I can't believe I've had this chance now
Don't let it go away

Why am I so curious?
This territory is dangerous
I'll probably end up back at the start
I'll be back in line with my...broken heart

New...You're so new
You...You're new
And I've never had this taste in my past

Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I can't believe I've had this chance now
Don't let it go away

New...You're so new
You...You're new
New...You're so new...
You...You're new

Too Late

I just want to take you away from everyone
And keep you stashed under my pillow
And then I'd take you out simply for my own pleasure
And wear you when, the occasions special, then
I'd put you on like a diamond
So I could sparkle and be the envy of my friends
I'd proudly hold the leash that I'd have you on
So you can't stray and follow me around all day

It's too late now
I don't think it can fade
It's too real now
Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze

Compulsion has stained me
I'm nervously cradling our young love
Without known limits, love
Like a butterfly cupped in my hands
I peek in to see beauty trapped
Confined, it flutters, then
It leaves behind colorful dust
To remind me of the special times we've spent
But, of course, it has to leave my clutch
But enough's never enough to make a dent

It's too late now
I don't think it can fade
It's too real now
Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze

And in time it will end
And there really isn't hope for the two of us
But right now I give in

It's too late now
I don't think it can fade
It's too real now
Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze

Comforting Lie

I started out on the wrong foot
Now I'm not myself
I am Jekyll, I am Hyde
Found this place to hide
Come seek me
Oh, so up and down
So back and forth
So insecure
Can't get this taste out of my mouth
Swallow it down
Pretend

And hold it, hold it all in
Let it build up
Oh, build a bomb
And blow it, blow it away
Clear it all out
Just end it

I'm just a normal person
Without those problems
When will it change?
Admissions so embarassing
I'm on the verge of tears again

And hold it, hold it all in
Let it build up
Oh, build a bomb
And blow it, blow it away
Clear it all out
Just end it

Oh, look, I took the band-aid off
Did I take it off too soon?
Hysterical confession
My big courageous move

Don't gasp at the unpredictable
A comforting lie can't last
Preordained, checklist of this akward love
It's so sad

And hold it, hold it all in
Let it build up
Oh, build a bomb
And blow it, blow it away
Clear it all out
Just end it

And sort it, sort it out
Oh, just give it back
No thank you!
And toss it, toss it away
Eliminate, just give up

I can't decide this tug-of-war
I'm feeling weak...Yeah...

Suspension Without Suspense

My divorce from dependence
That's when you found me
I was still soft
And we always were in trouble
Odds stacked against us
And trouble's what we are

We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We're playing it again
Suspension without suspense

Now that I've murdered your inspiration
And I've forced you off
Do you hate me?
Do you want revenge?
Well, I'd love to call you
But I won't

We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We're playing it again
Suspension without suspense

Oh, the pessimistic protection plan
Moderation loving
And I've been hardened by the circumstances
Who knew this was coming?

We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We're playing it again
Suspension without suspense

We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We're playing it again
Suspension without suspense
Intention without intent
But I don't want the love we have to end...

Staring Problem

My eyes are so rootless
They wander, I follow
I keep staring, I can't stop it
I know I shouldn't but I can't stop it

Such a cute girl, I'm so jealous
Wish I looked exactly like her
What's it like to have that body?
I'm gawking while I wonder

S-T-A-R-I-N-G
I can't stop staring
S-T-A-R-I-N-G
I can't stop staring

With my envy, I steal glances
Resentful fault finder
This peek-a-boo's become a problem
Predisposed cat fighter

S-T-A-R-I-N-G
I can't stop staring
S-T-A-R-I-N-G
I can't stop staring

Home Now

I'm hanging out with me
And you're a vacant chair
A chosen compromise
This space we rarely share

And if you lived here, you'd be home now

So what you giving up for me?
And what shall I give up for you?
Aimless expectations passing by

And to make it real
I'll need to have you here
I'll need to have you
I need to have you

A barren wasted heart
Neglect of normalcy

And if you lived here you'd be home now
Oh, if you lived here, you'd be home now

And to make it real
I'll need to have you here
I'll need to have you
It can't be sincere
Unless you spend time here
I need to see you

Supervision is what I need
Some consistance, tangibility
Some casual light days
Part of the furniture
I want to take you for granted
And see you regular

So what you giving up for me?
And what shall I give up for you?
The seperations tired, it's been too long

And to make it real
I'll need to have you here
I'll need to have you
It can't be sincere
Unless you spend time here
I need to see you
I need you

Come home now

Dark Blue

I'm tired from exploring you
I'm sorry, you've had some scary days
I'm lucky, they had me on a leash
Exposing...Sometimes you frighten me

And it's too bad
You're so sad
Wish you could've had what I had

I'm loathing most of your history
Hesitation, but then you siphon me
Your potential, well, I'll indulge in that
But in time we expose the aftermath

And it's too bad
You're so sad
Wish you could've had what I had
And it's too bad
You're so sad
Maybe I can make you feel better

Unlike you I had it easy
You're dark blue
Stained from previous days

And it's too bad
You're so sad
Wish you could've had what I had
And you're so sad
It's too bad
Maybe I can make you feel better
Oh, maybe, I'm supposed to make you feel better

I'm sorry...

The waves keep on crashing on me for some reason
But your love keeps on coming like a thunderbolt
Come here a little closer
'Cause I wanna see you baby real close up

You got me feeling hella good
So let's just keep on dancing
You hold me like you should
So I'm gonna keep on dancing

A performance deserving of standing ovation
And who would've thought it'd be the two of us?
So don't wake me if I'm dreaming
'Cause I'm in the mood come on and give it up

You got me feeling hella good
So let's just keep on dancing
You hold me like you should
So I'm gonna keep on dancing
You got me feeling hella good
So let's keep on dancing
You hold me like you should
So I'm gonna keep on dancing

Hey Baby

Like a fly on the wall with my secret eyes
Takin' it in, try to be feminine
With my makeup bag watchin' all the sin
Misfit, I sit
Lit up, wicked
Everybody else surrounded by the girls
With the tank tops and the flirty words

I知 just sippin' on chamomile
Watching boys and girls and their sex appeal
With a stranger in my face who says he knows my mom
And went to my high school

All the boys say,
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
Girls say, girls say,
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
Hey baby, baby
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
Boys say, boys say
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
All the boys get the girls in the back

I知 the one they feed upon
Give a bit a star is born
And if you're hot enough you値l get the pass
And you can tell your friends how you made it back
No matter what they say I知 still the same
Somehow everybody knows my name
And all the girls wanna get with the boys
And the boys really like it

All the boys say,
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
Girls say, girls say,
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
Hey baby, baby
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
Boys say, boys say
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
All the boys get the girls in the back

(Bounty Killer)
Check it out, it痴 Bounty Killer, and No Doubt

Jump on the stage makes me goin' crazy
Afterwards myself and one of them gorgeous ladies (that's right)
There is no need to be actin' shady
Come on baby, hey hey baby
Jump on the stage makes me goin' crazy
Afterwards myself and one of them gorgeous ladies (ya man)
There is no need to be actin' shady
Come on baby, hey hey baby

When you rock your hips you know that it amazes me
Got me off the hook and nothin' else don't phase me
Can you be my one and only sunshine lady
If no, maybe, hey baby

(Gwen)

Making Out

I'm on the second floor
With a lock on my door
I'm looking at a picture of your face
The last time I looked
You were looking really good
But somehow pictures fade

We're on the phone
We're all alone
And that just ain't good enough
I go around the world
To see your face
'Cause this just ain't good enough

So I'm kicking it
I'm counting the days
I can hardly wait for us to hang out
I'm really missing it in so many ways
I anticipate us making out

Sip my morning tea
But you're not next to me
Here goes another day
And driving in my car
I wonder how you are
While our favorite music plays

The flowers arrive to my suprise
But that just ain't good enough
And I got the note, it gave me hope
But that just ain't good enough

So I'm kicking it
I'm counting the days
I can hardly wait for us to hang out
I'm really missing you in so many ways
I anticipate us making out

Soon you'll be here with me
Soon you'll be right here with me

I'm with my friends 'til the night ends
But that just ain't good enough
And honestly you can trust me
But that just ain't good enough

So I'm just kicking it
I'm counting the days
I hardly can wait for us to hang out
I'm really missing it in so many ways
I anticipate us making out

Underneath It All

It starts when I want something more
Someone more like me
There's times when this dress rehearsal
Seems incomplete

But you see the colors in me like
No one else
And behind your dark glasses, you're
Something else

You're really lovely
Underneath It All
You want to love me
Underneath it all
I'm really lucky
Underneath it all
You're really lovely

You know some real bad tricks and you need some discipline
But lately you've been trying real hard
And giving me your best

And you give me the most gorgeous sleep
That I've ever had
And when it's really bad I guess
It's not that bad

You're really lovely
Underneath it all
You want to love me
Underneath it all
I'm really lucky
Underneath it all
You're really lovely

So many moons that we have seen
Stumbling back next to me
I've seen right through and underneath
And you make me better
I've seen right through and underneath
And you make me better

(LadySaw)

You've used up all your coupons
And all you've got left is me
But somehow I'm full of forgiveness
I guess it's meant to be...

You're really lovely
Underneath it all
You want to love me
Underneath it all
I'm really lucky
Underneath it all
You're really lovely...

Detective

Peek in, sneak about
Peek in, sneak about
Peek in, sneak about
Your broken-hearted detective

Hey girl, save the liar
Can't you see his pants on fire?
Hey girl, save the liar
Can't you see his pants on fire?

My back, it hurts again
It aches like history
Cotton-mouthed and all lit up
You're smiling back at me, but

I feel you must have failed me
Once again, you've let me down
My confidence below my knees now
I need to find you out...

Peek in, sneak about
I'm gonna snoop and call you out
I've caught you, your hands are red
Now I'm your broken-hearted detective

Hey lover, why the gun?
Hold on, I'm almost there
It's too late, you've killed the trust
Don't act so unaware

Why are you so destructive?
Do you realize what you've done?
You can't bring it back to life now
What are you running from?

Peek in, sneak about
I'm gonna snoop and call you out
I've caught you, your hands are red
Now I'm your broken-hearted detective

Hey girl, save the liar
Can't you see his pants on fire?
Hey girl, save the liar
Can't you see his pants on fire?

I'm rummaging through your closet
Imagining all the worst thoughts...

Peek in, sneak about
I'm gonna snoop and call you out
I've caught you, your hands are red
Now I'm your broken-hearted detective

Don't Let Me Down

Laughing so hard I've got tears in my eyes
Walk in the park under sapphire skies
Oh, I can't believe that you're still around
I almost forgot how you let me down

Crying so deep that I, I think I might die
Your mistakes I keep in the back of my mind
So hard to let go but I'm coming 'round
The scars are still fragile, don't let me down

So don't blow it
No, not a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it!

Time after time it's just too much to take
I've waited so long, just to get things straight
And finally it feels like the lost was found
You've got me filled up now
Don't let me down

So don't blow it
No, not a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it

Start The Fire

Go on baby get the lighter
We're gonna start the fire

The army of words is in me
Silent the soldier weeps
Lying here back to back
Waiting for you to be react

Sometimes all I need is a good push
Roll over and whisper some goodness
Go on baby you be the hero
Now can we go back to zero

Go on and get the lighter
We're gonna need some fire
Let's get a little higher
The battlefield is tired

Nevermind all that
Go on baby and get the lighter
We're gonna start the fire

Just come here and cuddle up
I feel a little rough
I missed you in my sleep
Are you still mad at me?

The moon must have mended my bad mood
Come kiss me the way you meant to
Last night I was just playing
Let's put it all away and

Go on and get the lighter
We're gonna need some fire
Let's get a little higher
The battlefield is tired

Nevermind all that
Go on baby and get the lighter
We're gonna start the fire

Go on baby and get the lighter
We're gonna start the fire
Go on baby and get the lighter
We're gonna start the fire

Climb in and love me
Climb in and love me
Go on now baby you get it

Had quite a heavy night
So delicate our love and pride
The most stubborn girl around
You really know how to bring me down
One more famous night to remember
Let's laugh at my silly temper
Now let's burn the morning sweetly
Roll over here and complete me

Running

Run
Running out of time
Running to the future, with you right by my side
Me
I'm the one you chose
Out of all the people, you wanted me the most

And I'm so sorry that I've fallen
Help me up, let's keep on running
Don't let me fall out of love

Running, running, as fast as we can
I really hope we make it
We're running
Keep holding my hand
So we don't get seperated

Be
Be the one I need
Be the one I trust most, don't stop inspiring me

Sometimes it's hard to keep on running
Work so much, to keep it going
Don't let me want to give up

Running, running, as fast as we can
I really hope we make it
We're running
Keep holding my hand
So we don't get seperated

In My Head

I try to think about rainbows
When it gets bad
You got to think about something
To keep from going mad
I try to think about big fat roses
When the ship starts going down
But my head is wicked jealous
Don't wanna talk about it right now

Long distance, don't talk about
Ex-girlfriends, don't talk about
You without me, don't talk about
The past...

In my head, it's only in my head
In my head, it's only in my head

There's just something about you
That gets me in a twist
And sometimes I think that Cupid
Is just taking a piss
It only takes one word or idea
To send me in real deep
So if you think you're clever
Use the right words when you talk to me

Long distance, don't talk about
Ex-girlfriends, don't talk about
You without me, don't talk about
The past...

In my head, it's only in my head
In my head, it's only in my head

I really think I have a problem
I really can't control myself
Why do I get so suspicious?
Do you want someone else?

'Cause everybody wants, everybody else
Everybody wants, everybody else
Everybody wants, everybody else
Everybody wants, everybody else

In my head, it's only in my head
In my head, it's only in my head

Long distance, don't talk about
Ex-girlfriends, don't talk about
You without me, don't talk about
The past...
Let's talk about, the future
Let's talk about, the wedding
Let's talk about, Gwen Stefani
Let's talk about, how much you like me
All that...

Waiting Room

I signed in my name
I guess I'll have to wait a while
I wanna play this game
Call me up if you know how to dial

You always had my number
You need to be my lover
Humiliation...I'm in the waiting room

If we both want the love
And I wait long enough
Then the ground that we're on might be common

All I can do it wait for you
All I can do is wait for you

I'm all alone in the waiting room
I'm all alone in the waiting room

When you're burning solitude
It can get real thick
If desire is your only food
It can get you sick
You know you're so fine
I'm over here standing in ths line
Just awaiting in the waiting room

If we both want the love
And I wait long enough
Then the ground that we're on might be common

All I can do it wait for you
All I can do is wait for you

I'm all alone in the waiting room
I'm all alone in the waiting room

While I'm in the waiting room
A thousand thoughts I think of you
Whatever you did has got my glued
It's icky, it's sticky, ooh
You're the one I'm dreaming of
Why does this feel like wasted time?
What a price this traveling love?
You and me trapped between these lines
Ooh, you're so mine

If we both want the love
And I wait long enough
Then the ground that we're on might be common

All I can do is wait for you
All I can do is wait for you

I'm all alone in the waiting room
I'm all alone in the waiting room

Will you call me when it's my turn?

Rock Steady

Our love is rock steady...

Love is like a punishment
Homegirl here to represent
So innocently you seem to come my way
While Tinkerbell and Cupid play

They sit there and they laugh
I sit here and I can't believe my eyes
You found me at last
But we're too human to see the way we'll agonize

A real love survives
A rock steady vibe
A real love survives
A rock steady vibe

Steady now, stop rocking it
It's a delicate environment
Retired but sleeping is our shanty love
Be careful now, don't wake it up

It's never gonna last
It's never gonna make it back alive
So now can we relax?
I really hope that we will actually survive

A real love survives
A rock steady vibe
A real love survives
A rock steady vibe

Our love is so rock steady...

Big Distraction

You're my concentration
Everything else is a bore
I've got myself snagged on you
No self control

Now all that I wanna do
Is sleep in the shadow of you
For the rest of my life

Now we can chisel
Chisel at built-up walls
Of pain deposited
From past lovers

But memories can deceive
And we can live comfortably
For the rest of our lives

Wrong or right
Shipwrecked into you
Situation is foolish
Put up a fight
You're my big distraction
Obvious companion
I'm falling fast
Like an avalanche

Indentured servant
A slave to a slave
Thank God for my hopeful heart
And for mutual feelings

Look how it's balanced now
Maybe we'll just settle down
For the rest of our lives

Wrong or right
Shipwrecked into you
Situation is foolish
Put up a fight
You're my big distraction
Obvious companion
I'm falling fast
Like an avalanche

Look how it's balanced now
Maybe we'll just settle down for the rest of our lives

Wrong or right
Shipwrecked into you
Situation is foolish
Put up a fight
You're my big distraction
Obvious companion
I'm falling fast
Like an avalanche...

Beauty Contest

Damsel in distress is quite submissive
Look how somber my vanity is
A feminine human creature
Superficial seducing detour
I'm going to the mall for the cookie cutter
The ugly duckling will always suffer
Contaminated standards, I try to fight it
I better get back on my diet

Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
How'd my vanity get such a mess?
Beauty contest
I'm obsessed

Reduce myself, cut the strict restrictions
Not sexy enough without the regulations
A melting point countdown my fading features
Born to blossom, bloom to perish

Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
How'd my vanity get such a mess?
Beauty contest
I'm obsessed
And I'm...

Falling, I can't help myself
I'm feeling envious of all the rest
You're bringing out the lemming in me
A victim of the cattle call disease
Not easy...To be me...

I feel so lame...

Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
How'd my vanity get such a mess?
Obsessed with the beauty contest

Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
Oh, I've got to get out of this mess
Obsessed with the beauty contest

Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
How'd my vanity get such a mess?
Caught up in the beauty contest
Caught up in the beauty contest
Caught up in the beauty contest
Caught up in the beauty contest
And I feel so lame...

How'd my vanity get such a mess?

My vanity's a mess...

Full Circle

All I've ever touched or set avail
Becomes a rehearsal for you
Just practice, and
Too many magic moments
To be coincidence
It all comes full circle

I knew someone who knew you
And he introduced me to you
Your ex-girlfriend had a boyfriend
Who kissed my girlfriend
Who dated Adrian

The world keeps on getting smaller and smaller
And everything comes back full circle, full circle
Six degrees of seperation
We all love someone else
It all comes full circle

And she comes from England
My ex-boyfriend he is, Indian
With a British passport
We're all connected
And everyone is affected


The world keeps on getting smaller and smaller
And everything comes back full circle, full circle
Six degrees of seperation
We all love someone else
It all comes full circle
It all comes full circle

The world keeps on getting smaller and smaller
And everything comes back full circle, full circle
Six degrees of seperation
We all love someone else
It all comes full circle
It all comes full circle

The world keeps on getting smaller and smaller
And everything comes back full circle, full circle
Six degrees of seperation
We all love someone else
It all comes full circle
It all comes full circle...

Cellophane Boy

And I'm not the judge
Or the referee
And I can't accept, cause I am uptight
The smoke getting into my eyes are burning
My concern is that I just might give you my life

And I can't relate to the hypnotist
And I can't get close, cause of plastic wrap
And I want to have kids, but their father's up inside the clouds
The distance between us is on my mind

Up until now things have been fine, temporarily
You're cute, but the circumstances have changed
Your substitution method crutch
Your whole protection from your pain
This presentation of my ploy
Is to change my cellophane boy

Oh...It's not the seventies
Let your future fly with me

Up until now things have been fine, temporarily
You're cute, but the circumstances have changed
Your substitution method crutch
Your whole protection from your pain
This presentation of my ploy
Is to change my cellophane boy
And I want your habit to be me
Your harbor and your refugee

Panic

Today is going to be easy
Today 'cause you're not around
I'll leave off my makeup
I'll sleep in my bed
To pass all the time by

Today 'cause you're not around
Today you won't be around

I concentrate on empty spaces
A passive pondering of blankness
Sit down, shut up controlled obsessions
Your absence it exhausts me

I always panic when I'm left
I always panic when I'm left

Today I feel destructive
Today who cares about myself?
I'll live in denial
And I'll beat up my head
And I'll eat all the chocolate

Today 'cause you're not around
Today you won't be around

I can't control my feelings
I sip on dream and choke on real things
Detach myself for preservation
I struggle to not want you

I always panic when I'm left
Is it healthy that we met?
If you stop coming will I forget?
I always panic...

Today is going to be simpe
Today 'cause you're not around
My heart will pound lazy
No one to impress
No smile is required
Today 'cause you're not around
Today you won't be around

I'll Throw My Toys Around

(ft Elvis Costello)

Also on Rugrats Movie soundtrack

I've got no time for fairy stories
I'm not a little girl
So you can leave me all alone
And turn off the lights as well

If you are frightened, then listen
But I don't think you'd like it
Such a nice kid...

Nobody's looking now
I'll throw my toys around

Somebody's being very bad
I wonder who it could be?
Somebody's going to get in trouble
I know it isn't me

I'm just a little angel
But you don't know what I've done
When you're back's turned

Nobody's looking now
I'll throw my toys around

(w/ Elvis Costello)
Pick up those building blocks
Chop off the baby's locks
Swing dolly by the hair
Put down that teddy bear
Slam dunk the happy clown
I'll throw my toys around

I've got no time for bedtime stories
I'm not a little child
Everything makes me furious
And everything makes me wild

If you are frightened, then listen
And I'll come running to you
As you boo-hoo

Nobody's looking now
I'll throw my toys around

(repeat, switching from Gwen to Elvis until fade out)
I'll throw my toys around...

It's My Life

(Talk Talk cover)

CD: ?

Funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning
I'd pay to lose
One half won't do

I've asked myself how much do you commit yourself

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends

Funny how I blind myself
I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose

I'd tell myself what good do you do
Convince myself

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends

Let Me Blow Ya Mind

(Eve ft Gwen)

CD: "Scorpion"

Eve: Yo, yo
Drop your glasses, shake your asses
Face screwed up like you having hot flashes
Which one, pick one, this one, classic
Red from blonde, yeah, bitch, I'm drastic
Why this, why that, lips start asking
Listen to me, baby, relax and start passing
Expressway, hair back, weaving through the traffic
This one strong should be labeled as a hazard
Some of ya'll n***** hot, sike, I'm gassin'
Clowns, I spot 'em and I can't stop laughing
Easy come, easy go, E-V gon' be lasting
Jealousy, let it go, results could be tragic
Some of you ain't writing well, too concerned with fashion
None of you ain't gizell, catwalk and imagine
Alotta ya'll Hollywood, drama passed it
Cut bitch, camera off, real shit, blast it

Gwen: Now I've had to give you up
It's only been a year
But I've got my foot through the door
And I ain't goin' nowhere
It took a while to get me in
And I'm gonna take my time
Don't fight that good shit in your ear
Now let me blow ya mind

Eve: They wanna bank up, crank up, makes me dizzy
Shank up, haters wanna come after me
You ain't a gangster, prankster, too much tv
Snakes in my path wanna smile up at me

Now while you grittin' your teeth
Frustration, baby, you got to breathe
Take a lot more than you to get rid of me
You see I do what they can't do, I just do me
Ain't no stress when it comes to stage, get what you see
Meet me in the lab, pen and pad don't believe
Huh, sixteen's mine, create my own lines
Love for my wordplay that's hard to find
Sophomore, I ain't scared, one of a kind
All I do is contemplate ways to make your fans mine
Eyes bloodshot, stressing chills up your spine
Sick to your stomach wishin' I wrote your mind

Gwen: Now I've had to give you up
It's only been a year
But I've got my foot through the door
And I ain't goin' nowhere
It took a while to get me in
And I'm gonna take my time
Don't fight that good shit in your ear
Now let me blow ya mind

Eve: Let your bones crack
Your back pop, I can't stop
Excitement, glock shots from your stash box
Fuck it, thug out, I respect the cash route
Locked down, blastin sets while I mash out
Yeah, n****, mash out, D-R-E
Back track, think back, E-V-E
Think you like that (ooh), you got to, I know you
Had you in a trance first glance from the floor too
Don't believe I'll show you, take you with me
Turn you on, pension gone, give you relief
Put your trust in a bomb when you listen to me
'Dancin' much, get it all? Now I'm complete
Still stallion, brick house, pile it on
Ryde or die, bitch, doube R, can't crawl
Beware, cause I crush anything I land on
Me here, ain't no mistake, n****, it was planned on

Gwen: Now I've had to give you up
It's only been a year
But I've got my foot through the door
And I ain't goin' nowhere
It took a while to get me in
And I'm gonna take mmy time
Don't fight that good shit in your ear
Now let me blow ya mind

Southside

(Moby ft Gwen)

CD: "Play"

See myself in the foreign home
See the light come over now
See the light in the pouring rain
I watch hope come over me

Here we are now, going to the east side
I pick up my friends and we start to ride
Ride all night, yeah, we ride all day
Some may come, love, some may stay

Here we are in the foreign home
I watch the light man fall the comb
I watch the light move across the screen
I watch hope come over me

Here we are now, going to the west side
Weapons in hand as we start to ride
Ride all night, yeah, we ride all day
Looking out for a sunny day
Where there's
Love and darkness at my sidearm
Hey Elan

Here we are now, going to to north side
I look at my friends as we start to ride
Ride all night, yeah, we ride all day
Looking out for a sunny day

Here we are now, going to the south side
I pick up my friends and hope we won't die
Ride all night, ride through Heaven and Hell
Come back, and feel so well
