What if there's no more fun to have?
And all I've got is what I had What if I have forgotten how? Cut my losses and get out now Get out right now There's something stronger than me There's something I don't want to see A new thing growing in me It is the hardest thing to do To watch it grow on top of you And see you're just like everyone No fun There's something stronger than me There's something I don't want to see A new thing growing in me There's something I don't want to see I don't speak that language anymore My blood is not that color anymore My blood don't shine the same way anymore I cannot deny it anymore There's something stronger than me There's something I don't want to see Got a new thing growing in me There's something I don't want to see There's something stronger than me There's something I don't want to see A new thing growing in me... 02. Ricochet
All of that thick time without you
Has made me so thick and drunk "and it's ok to laugh about it" I said, "it's ok to laugh about it" Runnin' twice as fast to stay in the same place Don't catch my breath until the end of the day And I'd rather be sot in the face Than hear what you're going to say One day the wind will come up And you'll come up empty again And who'll be laughing then? You'll come up empty again No reason no explanation so play the violins It's always funny until someone gets hurt And then it's just hilarious! You beat me every time you blink if only I did not have to think Think about you crackin' a smile Think about you all the while On the ricochet it's going to hit you It's always funny until someone gets hurt You can laugh at me when it misses you 03. Evidence
If you want to open the hole
Just put your head down and go Step beside the piece of the circumstance Gotta wash away the taste of evidence Wash it away Evidence Evidence Evidence Got a taste of evidence I didn't feel a thing It didn't mean a thing Look in the eye, testify Didn't feel a thing Anything you say, we know you're guilty Hands above your head and you won't even feel me You won't feel me I didn't feel a thing I didn't feel a thing It didn't mean a thing Look in the eye, testify Didn't feel a thing Evidence Evidence Evidence Got a taste of evidence I didn't feel a thing You didn't mean a thing Look in the eye and testify I didn't feel a thing I didn't feel a thing 04. The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies
The words are so familiar -
All the same greats, the same mistakes It doesn't have to be like this If you don't make a friend, now One might make you - So learn The gentle art of making enemies Don't look so surprised Happy birthday...fucker Blow that candle out We're gonna kick you Don't say you're not because you are Don't say you're not because you are History tells us that you are History tells us that you are All you need is just one more excuse You put up one hell of a fight I wanna hear your very best excuse Never felt this much alive Your day has finally come - So wear the hat and do the dance And let the suit keep wearing you. This year you'll sit and take it And you will like it - It's the gentle art of making enemies I deserve a reward 'Cause I'm the best fuck that you ever had And if I tighten up my hole - You may never see the light again There's always an easy way out There's always an easy way out You need something wet in your mouth You need something wet in your mouth Never felt this much alive 05. Star A.D.
Star A.D.
See tomorrow dreamin' You don't need your freedom Star A.D. A little joke that's understood It's all over the world A little joke that's understood It's all over and over and over! And dying is dry- Like a fact of history And when you die, you'll become something worse Than dead- You'll become A legend We are forever See tomorrow dreamin' You don't need your freedom 06. Cuckoo For Caca
It's cold and it's
Smooth and it's A hard shade of white And everybody needs to lick the surface clean But it never tastes better White blooms to white and freezes white again Close it before something crawls in Commit it, leave it, get away - we always Drop our good side Being good gets you stuff Being stuff gets you good Good stuf gets you being And wheelin' and dealin' and squealin' Shit lives forever They have no legs, but chase us anyway Like the shadow of your best friend Gave birth to something we don't want to be We drop our good side You can't kill it Eat is just as deep as you can fuck it So cough it up or go down And there's only one thing that separates A man... Shit lives forever We'll retire with a turd on our lips Under a pair of knowing eyes I'm gonna take a few down with me And drop my good side You can't kill it Take it from our drummer Puff, Being good it gets you stuff 07. Caralho Voador
They all know me by my car
They all know I'm gone, but not how far I'm heading straight down 101 I'm going to go and get me some My lips are movin' but there's no sound Someday somebody's gonna get run down Eu não posso dirigir E agora aparece Meu dedo enterrado No meu nariz My lips are movin' but there's no sound Someday somebody's gonna get run down 08. Ugly In The Morning
You did one thing wrong
You woke up. It looked better before More-more And the stomach turns... Say nothing without wasting a word I know exactly what you meant I know how piggy feels He starves without missing a meal Look in the mirror... Don't look at me- I'm ugly in the morning When the headache is gone, The sun is not. Forgot to turn the alarm On-on Doesn't matter how much you think Or the number of hairs in the sink I did it to myself again I know how piggy feels He starves without missing a meal It's getting clearer... Don't look at me- I'm ugly in the morning 09. Digging The Grave
It would be wrong to ask you why
Because I know what goes inside Is only half of what comes out Isn't that what it's about? It's about To remind us we're alive To remind us we're not blind In that big, black hole Comfortable Digging the grave, I got it made Let something in, or throw something out? You left the door open wide I know you have a reason why That knot is better left untied I just went and undid mine It takes some time And the shadows so big It takes the sun out of the day And the feeling goes away When you close the door Comfortable Digging the grave, I got it made Let something in, or throw something out? You left the door open wide Digging the grave, I got it made Comfortable Digging the grave, I got it made Let something in, or throw something out? You left the door open wide 10. Take This Bottle
I can wait to love in heaven
I can wait for you Far away, I'll treat you better Better than down here Because I done wrong And I'm a little afraid And I ain't too strong And this ain't easy to say: Take this bottle Take this bottle And just walk away The both of you And let me feel the pain I've done to you I can hope we'll be together With a better roof over our heads I can hope the stormy weather It passes on It passes on But I've hoped too long Hoped for me to change But that hope is gone So listen to what I say: Take this bottle 11. King For A Day
It is not a good day if you are not looking good
This is the best party that I've ever been to Today I asked for a god to pour some wine in my eyes Today I asked for someone to shake some salt in my life Look! Everything's spinning (We're on the ground) Never cheer before you know who's winning (Don't make a sound) Sniff the glass and let it roll around on your tongue Let me introduce you to someone before the party is done Someone to look to in need or in want or in war If you give him everything, he may give you even more Look! Everything's spinning (We're on the ground) Never cheer before you know who's winning (Don't make a sound) Don't make a sound!!! Look! Everything's spinning We're on the ground Never cheer before you know who's winning Don't make a sound Don't make a sound Everything's spinning We're on the ground Everything's spinning We're on the ground This is the best party I've been to This is the best party I've been to This is the best party I've been to This is the best party I've been to Don't let me die with that silly look in my eyes...(x12) 12. What A Day
A piece of mail
A letter head A piece of hair On a human head They're sayin' to me "I should've killed it" "I should've killed it" "I should've killed it" "I should've killed it before" You're right, you're right "Kill the body and the head will die" They're laughin' at me "I should've learned it" "I should've learned it" "I should've learned it" "I should've learned it" "I should've learned it" "I should've learned it before" What a day, what a day If you can look it in the face And hold your vomit What a day, what a day If you can look it in the face And hold your vomit A wet sneeze and a "no left turn" A row of teeth, an encouraging word Beneath a mile of skin "I should've noticed it" "I should've noticed it" "Noticed it before" "Noticed it before" "Noticed it before" "Noticed it before" What a day, what a day If you can look it in the face And hold your vomit What a day, what a day If you can look it in the face And hold your vomit What a day What a day What a day What a day What a day What a Day What a day What a day What a day What a day What a day What a Don't touch it What a day What a day What a day No! Don't touch it What a day What a day What a day No! Don't touch it What a day What a day What a day No! Don't touch it What a day What a day What a day Touched it now! 13. The Last To Know
Where it
grows on trees but never Never blooms Where it hurts the least for whoever Saw it first First to go and the last to know Lasts longer than a lifetime Takes the least amount of effort Feels better than a bargain Just to know it's there First to go and the last to know Can't you see There's only one me And that me is me I know where but I cannot share You'll call me I'll stand in line till then I'll be waiting Can't you see All circuits are busy Please try back again 14. Just A Man
Sky is clear tonight
Sky is clear tomorrow A star is out I reach for one to sparkle in my hand A star is out I will not touch you, I am just a man Sky is clear tonight Sky is clear tomorrow And every night I shut my eyes So I don't have to see the light Shining so bright I'll dream about a cloudy sky, About a cloudy sky Sky is clear tonight Sky is clear tomorrow A star is out I reach for one to sparkle in my hand (in your hand) A star is out I will not touch you, I am just a man ('Cause he's just a man) "Man was born to love- Though often he has sought Like Icarus, to fly too high- And far to lonely than he thought To kiss the sun of east and west And hold the world that he's behest- To hold the terrible power To whom only gods are blessed- But me, I am just a man" And every night I shut my eyes So I don't have to see the light Shining so bright I'll dream about a cloudy sky, About a cloudy sky And every night I shut my eyes But now I've got them open wide You've fallen into my hands And now you're burning me You're burning me And every night I shut my eyes So I don't have to see the light Shining so bright I'll dream about a cloudy sky, About a cloudy sky And every night I shut my eyes But now I've got them open wide Shining so bright I'll dream about a cloudy sky, About a cloudy sky A cloudy sky... |
