1994
I haven't cried since my father died
He took a piece of me when he flew away
You all think you know who I am
But did you know I killed a man back in '94?
Oh
I know you're with me tonight
I know you're with me tonight
I had a chance to spend my last days with him
But I chose to turn away, blinded by reality
I saw him in one of my dreams
He was the captain of a ship sailing towards the light
Oh
I know you're with me tonight
I know you're with me tonight
ABC's of Love
Every time I see you I smile
Cause I'm just so educated (educated)
I know you're so behind, no pain
Things go the wrong way sometimes (sometimes)
And it hurts
I know my ABC's of love
I know my ABC's of love
I know my ABC's of love
Let's start from scratch
Forget childhood
Build a clear wall
Don't leave any holes
They can (they can)
Look but (look but)
Not touch (not touch)
Don't let them in (don't let them in)
You've got (you've got)
No friends (no friends)
Only your instincts
And it hurts
I know my ABC's of love
I know my ABC's of love
I know my ABC's of love
Of love
Of love
Of love
Before you touch me
Bring back, bring back some tissues, wherever you go
Before you touch me
Bring back, bring back some tissues, wherever you go
I know my ABC's of love
I know my ABC's of love
I know my ABC's of love
I know my ABC's of love
Of love
Of love
Of love
Of love love love love love
Blueside
The colors have built up in my mind
They're bleeding through my heart
But nobody knows that they exist
Look at my bursting veins
Now do you see the red in me
It's a sign for the end
Only the end of the red
Will show you my blueside
Only the end of the red
Will show you my blueside
I've been given my brush and plate
Where will I paint my life
And will the buyer in the sky
Believe in what I dream
It's so hard for me to explain
What I will miss to myself
Only the end of the red
Will show you my blue side
Only the end of the red
Will show you my blue side
Only the end of the red
Will show you my blue side
Only the end of the red
Will show you my blue side
Only the end of the red
Will show you my blue side
Only the end of the red
Will show you my blue side
Daisy Duke
I wanna know
All there's to know about you
I want you to know
Nothing about me although
I'll give you a taste
When you think that you know me
I'll blow you away
so baby bow down Daisy Duke
You don't know me so well, I think you know that now
I'm unbreakable, there's no need for fragile stickers
You're too young for me, but I can keep a secret
I'm in total control of the situation
Bow down Daisy Duke
Sit on my couch
Snuggle with me through the hard night
I don't bite, baby
I'll be good to you in the morning
Don't you say no to me
baby big mistake
I'll throw you away
so baby bow down Daisy Duke
You don't know me so well, I think you know that now
I'm unbreakable, there's no need for fragile stickers
You're too young for me, but I can keep a secret
I'm in total control of the situation
Bow down Daisy Duke
I'm much too rough with the way that I phrase things
I'm sorry for cuffing you to my bathtub
Bow down Daisy Duke
Bow down Daisy Duke
You don't know me so well, I think you know that now
I'm unbreakable, there's no need for fragile stickers
You're too young for me, but I can keep a secret
I'm in total control of the situation
Bow down Daisy Duke
Bow down Daisy Duke
Bow down Daisy Duke
Eagles
He was always there
But nobody seemed to notice him
Looking back, looking back, looking back
And he never left his chair
In fact, I think he burnt it to the ground
Cause they always had the floor
Never placed themselves aside
To let the man speak
She never raised her head
Because of the scar that ran down her right cheek
She never grew up
Because she turned 29 at age 15
Look around, look around, look around, look around, look around, look around, look around
Find Myself
When will I learn how to be alone?
How can I learn to let go of you?
Everyone can see me but I can't see myself
Have you seen the key that leads to me?
Cause I need to find myself
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
To find myself
Why do I suck at putting smiles on their faces?
Why am I only funny to myself?
How come no one understands what I say?
But I thought I didn't know myself
Cause I need to find myself
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
To find myself
I need to find myself
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
To find myself
I hate everyone
Only on certain days
I think you're all
annoyed by me
So I'll leave and find myself
I need to find myself
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
To find myself
I need to find myself
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
To find myself
Flight 22
Now I know I can't move on
Now I know I can't move on
Now I know I can't move on
You were supposed to leave on Monday morning
But you changed your flight to Thursday night
I was supposed to take you around and around
This crazy town they like to call original
I have this feeling you're not coming back
I have this feeling you're not coming back
I don't wanna be there
When you're gonna be there
I don't wanna be there
When you're gonna be there
Now I know I can't move on
Now I know I can't move on
Now that you left I don't know if I screwed up
The signs keep telling them that something's wrong
I called the airline, they said they would page you
But they were too lazy and unaware of the signs
I have this feeling you're not coming back
I have this feeling you're not coming back
I don't wanna be there
When you're gonna be there
I don't wanna be there
When you're gonna be there
Oh, this is happening again
The number 22 is watching me watching you
Way up in the sky
Don't know if you made it
Or is there something wrong
I tried, and tried, to get you to come back
You never ever ever came back
I don't wanna be there
When you're gonna be there
I don't wanna be there
When you're gonna be there
For Love
You are falling for me
And the love you have
Is reformed in me
I forget to tell you
How much you mean to me
But you never change
No you never change
We drive and drive and drive but never get anywhere
We talk and talk and talk it's not fair
You have to believe you have to
You have to believe you have to
Cause what I feel is right for us
It is right for us
It is right for love
Hey (Me Outside Your Door)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
I know we've never had anything before
Just me outside your door
And I know following you around the world doesn't help
It makes me seem helpless
I think I'm seeing things differently
Hey, hey, hey
I want out
There's no end
I want in
Let's begin
Like we have never began before
That's me knocking at your door
Yes, that's me knocking at your door
If you pretend all those messages I left
Were from some other guy who has my name
Then I'll pretend I never saw
All those Creed CDs sitting in your car
I think, I think, I think, I'm seeing things differently
Hey, hey, hey
I want out
There's no end
I want in
Let's begin
Like we have never began before
That's me knocking at your door
Yes, that's me knocking at your...
I know we've never had anything before
Just me outside your door
And I know following you around the world doesn't help
It makes me seem helpless, but...
hey, hey, hey, hey
I want out
There's no end
I want in
Let's begin
Like we have never began before
Like we have never began before
Like we have never began before
That's me knocking at your...
Me knocking at your...
Me knocking at your door
If It Were Up To Me
She doesn't have
The answer yet, the answer yet
I'm breathing down her neck
Maybe I should give her time
If it were up to me
She would know that
She'll be the one
Who when I'm dead
Will use my bed
And she'll spend her life
Thinking of us and making a fuss
If it were up to me
She would know that
Our love (our love)
Is the best love (best love)
If it were up to me
Yes, our love (our love)
Is real love
So just let it be
I want you to know
I've done our charts and it says
That we work as one
Like the Jackson 5 and the Temptations
If it were up to me
She would know that
Our love (our love)
Is the best love (best love)
If it were up to me
Yes, our love (our love)
Is real love
So just let it be
Well, your mother likes my smile
And your father likes my lifestyle
Should I ask them what I asked you
To get the answer
Yes, to get the answer
It's easy (easy)
It's easy (easy)
It's easy (easy)
Oh, it's easy (easy)
Your mother likes my smile
And your father likes my lifestyle
Should I ask them what I asked you
To get the answer
Yes, to get the answer
Cause our love (our love)
Is the best love (best love)
If it were up to me
Yes, our love (our love)
Oh, is real love
So just let it be
It's easy (easy)
It's easy (easy)
It's easy
I'm a Terrible Person
I'm a terrible person
I'm a terrible person
I'm a terrible person
'Cause I've made up my mind
I'm a terrible person
'Cause I've led her on
And I'm the only one who knows what I've done to her
oh yeah
I'm much smarter now, I won't tell her friends before her
Oh I'm afraid
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
I'm a horrible person
I read her diary
I'm not to be trusted
I told all of her secrets
To all the guys in town, they all laugh and slap me five
oh yeah
Luckily she doesn't have dirt on me, 'cause I'm the cleanest guy
oh I'm so afraid
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
I don't think I'll ever be sorry
No I'm not sorry for a thing I've done
And I don't ever think I'll ever wake up lonely
'Cause having her around wasn't all that special
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
I'm Shakin'
I've forgotten what it feels like
To feel normal, to be normal
I've forgotten what food tastes like
The way it tastes right, the taste buds taste right
I wake up in so much spit and sweat
It is not normal, but what is normal?
I go to bed when I wake up
After cleaning up all the spit and sweat
Now I'm, now I'm
Sh-sh-shakin', sh-shakin' now
Sh-sh-shakin', sh-shakin' now
Sh-sh-shakin', sh-shakin' now
Sh-sh-shakin'
Sh-shakin' now
I tossed and turned all night 'cause I
Cause I was looking for, for an ending
This was so because, because I watched all day
The neverending story with Atreyu
The next day came but not a beam of light
Because the blinds were shut
Sh-sh-sh-shut so tight
And I fell out of bed, laced with spit and sweat
It made me very cold, it made me very cold
Now I'm, now I'm
Sh-sh-shakin', sh-shakin' now
Sh-sh-shakin', sh-shakin' now
Sh-sh-shakin', sh-shakin' now
Sh-sh-shakin'
Sh-shakin' now
I'm supposed to feel better
This nightmare's supposed to end
I am holding on
I am holding on
I am holding on
I am holding on
I'm sh-sh-shakin', sh-shakin' now
Sh-sh-shakin', sh-shakin' now
Sh-sh-shakin', sh-shakin' now
Sh-sh-shakin' now
It Goes To Bed
Why are you surprised
Nobody's arrived
The thoughts on people's minds
Are we're nothing
And must you be so blind
Not to realize
Everybody's thoughts
Mean something
It goes to bed, it goes to bed
It goes to bed, it goes to bed
Can't you realize
We're nothing
Nothing stays the same
All we do is blame
We're the ones at fault
No one's perfect
I'll tell it like it is
We don't belong in this biz
Pack up your vintage life
We're leaving
It goes to bed, it goes to bed
It goes to bed, it goes to bed
Can't you realize...
That they say what they think they know
And they know what's on television
They dress how the others dress
And they feel without the truth of even feeling
It goes to bed, it goes to bed
It goes to bed, it goes to bed
It goes to bed, it goes to bed
It goes to bed, it goes to bed
Can't you realize
We must compromise
Losing All Control (The Mellow Song)
I'm losing you
I'm losing all control
Just let me be
Let me be alone for now
I want to be alone tonight
Once again we've gone off track
And lost all hope for coming back
It's time to restart and then
And try all over again
It's time to work
The work is useless now
Oh can't you see
Your help is lost in me
I want to be alone tonight
Once again we've gone off track
And lost all hope for coming back
It's time to restart and then
And try all over again
We've lost all hope for coming back
We've lost all hope for coming back
We've lost all hope for coming back
Lost all hope for coming back
Once again we've gone off track
And lost all hope for coming back
It's time to restart again
And try all over again

Meltdown (You're On the Edge)
You're out on the edge
But nobody sees you
You're out on the edge
But not in danger
Cause you're only two feet
Above the ground
You're out on a mission
For recognition
You're out on a mission
A show to sellouts
But you've already sold out
You fucking sellouts
No one, no one cares
How close you were to the end
No one, no one sees
The changes you've made for yourself
You need a break
Apart from your egos
You need a break
Find a new image
Cause you're not rock stars
But you should be
You're out on a mission
For recognition
You're out on a mission
A show to sellouts
I figured you out
So complex
No one, no one cares
How close you were to the end
No one, no one sees
The changes you've made for yourself
Oh yes, oh yes
They're coming on strong
And maybe by Monday
Their songs will live on
But the meltdown
The meltdown
The meltdown
The meltdown
The meltdown
No one, no one cares
How close you were to the end
No one, no one sees
The changes you've made for yourself
yeah, yeah yeah
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
Misery
Let's make believe I'm insane
Let's make believe that I know what pain is
Let's make believe I'm not loved
Let's make believe I care for everyone
I tell myself
Maybe you're obsessive means, "you're great"
I'm small, she wanted the tall guy
She's smart, but I wanted the artsy girl
So, I thank you
Yes, I thank you
For making my life a misery
Let's make believe I got laid
Let's make it known I cleaned up after myself
Let's make it known I turned off the television
Let's make it known I got home on time
I tell myself
Maybe you're obsessive means, "you're great"
I'm small, she wanted the tall guy
She's smart, but I wanted the artsy girl
So, I thank you
Yes, I thank you
For making my life a misery
No Wait, But Listen, I'm Talking to You (Gone)
No wait, but listen, I'm talking to you
No wait, but listen, I'm talking to you
No wait, but listen, I'm talking to you
No wait, but listen, I'm talking to you
Well, I'm the only one here who can save this man's life
Trust me, I've got a PhD and a knife
You see the wound is to his right no left side head
Check his pulse, oh my god, this man is...
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
He is...
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, g-gone, gone, gone
No wait, but listen, I'm talking to you
No wait, but listen, I'm talking to you
No wait, but listen, I'm talking to you
No wait, but listen, I'm talking to you
First things first, let's retrace this man's steps
If he didn't walk in, did anyone see him come? (Ha ha ha...)
Get your mind out of the gutter, this man is gone
He could have a wife and kids, but now to them he's...
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
He is...
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, g-gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone-gone-gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone-gone-gone
No wait, but listen, I'm talking to you
No wait, but listen, I'm talking to you
No wait, but listen, I'm talking to you
No wait, but listen, no wait, but listen
I'm talking to you
Oh What A Day
I hadn't met you
From what I heard I thought I had
Sorry to disappoint you
I wasn't all that interested
When you left that ten minute message
I felt I knew you less and less
You don't play games
You make mistakes
Oh what a day
Oh oh what a day
I can't stop thinking of you
I wasn't looking
For the right things
A week straight playing phone tag
How could we ever last
I like the problems
Tell me about your psychiatrist
Tell me what's wrong
Please make mistakes
Oh what a day
Oh oh what a day
I can't stop thinking of you
Oh what a day
Oh oh what a day
I can't stop thinking of you
I like what's wrong with you
Yeah, I like what's wrong with you
What's wrong with you
What's wrong with you
Oh what a day
Oh oh what a day
Oh what a day
Oh oh what a day
I can't stop thinking
No, I can't stop thinking
I can't stop thinking of you
Popstars
Hey baby, you've hit me again one more time
You said bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, goodbye
Well, I don't wanna be with you tonight, forever
Do you understand my monologue
These are the words of the popstars
These are the words of the unsophisticated money machines
For the killers of rock and roll
Hey digital, you're nothing but a bitch on strings
You'll be back milking cows before you cash the cheque
I'll just wait around till you fade away like the rest
Like the best of the best
Do you understand my monologue
These are the words of the popstars
These are the words of the unsophisticated money machines
For the killers of rock and roll
Do you understand my monologue
These are the words of the popstars
These are the words of the...
These are the words of the popstars
These are the words of the unsophisticated money machines
For the killers of rock and roll
Simply Because
Can you guess
Why I haven't called you back?
Well, I said I'm screening calls
Even your calls
Why am I such a bad guy?
I'm just doing other things
Like you do other things
I could never really love you
Simply because, simply because
I could never really love you
Simply because, simply because
Of the trust
Of the trust
You're up all night
Fixing your hair
But you're not satisfied
With that I'm satisfied
I'm doing things
Like I said before
I'm not partying
I'm parting from the non-creative
Yeah
I could never really love you
Simply because, simply because
I could never really love you
Simply because of the trust, of the trust
You've lost my love
Someone's Watching
Look at the stars
Tilt your head up to the universe, the master of all time
Can you hear
The planets talking to the mental patients curled up in their rooms?
Who do you want to be
When it's dark and no one's around? (watch out)
What do you feel
When no one's around
But someone's watching over you?
Can you feel
Your body wither away when you sit on your ass all day?
Look at yourself
You've become the less evolved, just like everyone else
Who do you want to be
When it's dark and (inside) no one's around? (watch out)
What do you feel
When no one's around but someone's watching over you?
Who do you want to be
When it's dark and (inside) no one's around? (watch out)
What do you feel
When no one's around but someone's watching over you?
Who do you want to be
When it's dark and (inside) no one's around? (watch out)
What do you feel
When no one's around but someone's watching over you?
Stay Away
Stay away from my friends
They're smooth operators
Looking for a way in
Stay away from me tonight
I've made other plans
And you'll just be distracting me
In a good way
She doesn't know
That I love her
Yes, I love her
Make a move on me, baby
I cant be the one who's
Always taking chances
See me down so you get down
No, you've got me all wrong
I just want to kiss your lips
And you kiss back
She doesn't know
That I love her
Yes, I love her
She doesn't know
That I love her
Leave us alone
Leave us alone
Leave us alone
Your friends
And my friends
Leave us alone
Your friends
And my friends
Should go
Far away
She doesn't know
That I love her
Yes, I love her
She doesn't know
That I love her
Yes, I love her
That Girl Has Love (Kristen)
Well I, don't know a lot about her
But she, she knew a lot about me
Her family seemed to love her
If what they say is true
Her friends all shared the good times
Man, that girl has love, that girl has
I, I didn't have a clue then
That a kiss would change my whole life again
She walked into my room
When I was all alone
She told me I would date her from
September to December
She doesn't know
Things will never be the same again
She'll always be seventeen
That girl has love
She kept all the pain inside
Now she has got nothing to hide
At such a young age
She took her own life
Now she's saying things that come in
Our dreams at night
She's a dreamer
She doesn't know
Things will never be the same again
She'll always be seventeen
That girl has love
That was too real to ever be fake
That was too strong to be ever be forgotten
That girl has love
Love, love, love, love, love, love...
She doesn't know
Things will never be the same again
She'll always be seventeen
That girl has...
That girl has...
That girl has love
The Floor
Well, I don't want you
When you want me
And, I don't need you
Like I need dough
See those flowers?
They were on sale
And all that foreplay
It was for me
I never loved you
When you loved me
I never cared about you
When you cared about me
Hey pretty lady
Not you, behind you
Where'd you get that
Amazing booty?
Oh, tae-bo works
See, tae-bo works
Thanks for the info
Here's my number
I never loved you
When you loved me
I never cared about you
When you cared about me
I've got the F-L-double-O-R
The F-L-double-O-R
The F-L-double-O-R
I've got the floor
I don't want you
When you want me
I don't need you
Like you need me
I don't want you
When you want me
I don't need you
Like you need me
I never loved you
When you loved me
I never cared about you
When you cared about me
I never loved you
I never cared about you
I don't need this game
I'd rather sit it out
I've got the F-L-double-O-R
The F-L-double-O-R
I'm in control of it so far
I've got the floor
I've got the floor
woohoo, woohoo, woohoo
I don't want you
Why?
I've only driven a hundred miles since you've gone
And I've only given my energy away
When I meet a newbie I slowly crack and spill the past
I realize this is phony
But there is so much love
Since you've passed away
Why try?
The suits have tried to claim that everything he won was theirs
But mother read the files and saved the name he shed
Why? Why?
Why? Why?
Why? Why?
Why try?
Cause I can't go on without you
Since you've passed away
When I'm turning Japanese I always think you're mad at me
But I am no conformist, I just like to free my troops
Like to free my troops
Why? Why?
Why? Why?
Why? Why?
Why try?
Cause I can't go on without you
Since you've passed away
Why try?
Cause I can't go on without you
Why try?
Cause I can't go on without you
Since you've passed away
Why try?
Cause I can't go on without you
