1. "Long Way Down"
Written and sung by Johnny Rzeznik
[3:29]
Oh here you are
There's nothing left to say
You're not supposed to be that way
Did they push you out?
Did they throw you away?

Touch me now and I don't care
But when you take me I'm not there
Almost human but I'll never be the same

Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't wanna live in here alone
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own

I never put you down
I never pushed you away
You're not supposed to be that way
And anything you want
There's nothing I could say

Is there anythin to feel?
Is it pain that makes you real?
Cut me off before it kills me

Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't wanna live in here alone
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own

I never put you down
I never pushed you away
Take another piece of me
Give my mind a new disease
And the black and white world never fades to gray

Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't wanna live in here alone
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
On my own
On my own

2. "Burnin' Up"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Robby Takac
[2:29]
Said you're burnin' up inside but no one seems to tell
You're living from a personalized manual from hell

Life is pretty easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin' up inside and no one cares

Said you had enough this time, 'cause time don't treat you well
You always cried coincedence, well I drew parallel

Life it seems so easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin' up inside
Burnin' up inside
Burnin' up inside

And you hurt me
And you hurt me
And you hurt me
And you hurt me

Try to take my hand tonight, I'll show you where to start
'Cause every word that left your lips, like a needle through my heart

And life it seems so easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin' up inside
Burnin' up inside
Burnin' up inside

And you hurt my eyes, 'cause you're burnin' up inside
Hurt my eyes, 'cause you're burnin' up inside
Hurt my eyes, 'cause you're burnin' up inside
Hurt my eyes

3. "Naked"
Written and sung by Johnny Rzeznik
[3:44]
Yeah I'm fading
And I call out
No one hears me
Never been, never felt, never thought I'd say a word

Weighed down
Safe now

You're naked inside your fear
And you can't take back all those years
The shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone

Yeah I'm hiding
In the fallout
Now I'm wasted
They don't need me, don't want me, don't hear a word I say

Weighed down
Safe now

You're naked inside your fear
You can't take back all those years
The shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone

Inside your head
No one's there
And I don't think I'll ever be
And I don't care

You're naked inside your fear
You can't take back all those years
The shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone
By anyone
By anyone

4. "Flat Top"
Written and sung by Johnny Rzeznik
[4:30]
Flat top intervention
Bringing home the new invention
See it there in pieces on the ground
A television war between the cynics and the saints
Flip the dial and that's whose side your on
Sleeping on the White House lawn ain't never changed a thing
Just look at all the washed out hippie dreams

And it's falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Falling all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while

Tabloid generation's lost
Choking on it's fear
Used to be that's all we had to fear
Concience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak
There's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the street
A visionary coward says that anger can be power
As long as there's a victim on TV

And it's falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Falling all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while

And my dirty dreams all come alive on my TV screen
And assasination plots
Show me what I haven't got
Show me what I love, who I'm supposed to be
Show me everything I need
Show it all to me
Show it all to me

And it's falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Falling all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while

5. "Impersonality"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Robby Takac
[2:40]
When I was three feet tall
I loved the mall
And lived life for myself
Fallin' down for laughs
Your photgraph
Some puppets made of felt

Watching life in Oz Thanksgiving Eve on Grandma's old TV
Dancing roundabout, I'd twist and shout for everyone to see

Impersonality
It's leaning hard on me

Momma's in her shop
Watching little sister by myself
Robbed the wishing pond
In a fleeting bond
Vowed to share the wealth

Scooping up the coins
A warning shot from some authority
Doesn't matter now, but I'll shout it loud
For everyone to see

Never got to know ya
Did you ever wonder why?
Now it's nice to know ya
And I'm glad you're doing fine
Think of all the time lost
Was it really lost at all?
Now I'm so proud of ya
I'd love to tell ya all I see
Listen hard to your reality

Impersonality
It's leaning hard on me
Impersonality
It's leaning hard on me

6. "Name"
Written ans sung by Johnny Rzeznik
[4:30]
And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
Letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away

And now we're grown orphans
That never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
But you could hide beside me
Maybe for awhile
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name

Scars are souveniers you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are

You grew up way too fast
Now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
I won't tell 'em your name
Mmm, mmm, mmm, I won't tell 'em your name
(Ow!)

I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
If it's lonely where you are
Come back down
And I won't tell 'em your name

7. "Only One"
Written and sung by Johnny Rzeznik
[3:18]
I opened up my head a while
It's been there for years
Must've been a victim of my peers
One is for my happiness
The other for my health
The last is something bigger than myslef

I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one to say...

I'm talking to myself again
I'll just start a fight
Nobody can prove me wrong, I'm right
An anti-hero idle with a suicide excuse
A thousand other suckers
Trying to fill your shoes

I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one to say...

I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one to say...

Little pictures in my head
Are turning inside out again
'Cause fuckin' up takes practice
I feel I'm well rehearsed
Because the past is a bully
And the future's even worse
You tell me what you fear
'Cause I can feel it like a curse

Well you used to be a folk singer
Now you're just a joke singer
Ain't no smoking dope singer
Swinging from a rope singer

I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one to say...

8. "Somethin' Bad"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Robby Takac
[2:31]
Well they're shutting all the shops up on the avenue
And they're holding up for cheaper Chinese food
If I'm older now and have a tainted attitude
Why'd those neon lights all lose their common blue

And it's not like me to feel so important
And it's not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I'd see it so exploited
Oh, but I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
Oh yes, I know that somethin' bad has gotta change

Well I see 'em working round the block till 6 AM
The thermometer's at minus five degrees
And I'm wondering where all that hard earned money goes
To her head or towards a shred of dignity

And it's not like me to feel so important
And it's not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I'd see it so exploited
Oh, but I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
Oh yes, I know that somethin' bad has gotta change

And it's not like me to feel so important
And it's not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I'd see it so exploited
Oh, but I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
Oh yes, I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
Yes, I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
Oh yes, I know that somethin' bad has gotta change

9. "Ain't That Unusual"
Written and sung by Johnny Rzeznik
[3:20]
Could you talk to me
Honestly
'Cause I never I heard a word you said now
And I ain't just being mean

'Cause all we are is what we're told
And most of that's been lies
It's like a made for TV movie
And I just blew my line

Someday, you never made it
Maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
And ain't that unusual

Now I feel unknown
And it's safe that way
Are you too bored to care or too dumb to be scared now
And what's that supposed to mean

I burn out on some empty reasons
Another waste of time
There's something that I wish I'd said
But I don't think it rhymes

Someday, you never made it
Maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
Now ain't that unusual

See I'd love to be you
At least then I'd see you
I'm sorry I put them words in your mouth
But you wouldn't talk to me
(Hey!)

You're everything I want
I haven't got
I'm sick of everything
Now I'm not
I put my heavy coat on for awhile
It's freezing in the corner of my mind

Someday, you never made it
Maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
Now ain't that unusual

Someday, you never made it
Now ain't that unusual
Ain't that unusual

10. "So Long"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Robby Takac
[2:33]
Don't take much lookin' back
To know I took my coffee black then
Nothin's different now but nothin' seems the same
And it's alright
Your optimistic views
Your hundred dollar running shoes and
Carpel tunnel syndrome
We all had a laugh about it

I'd love to stick around but I gotta tell you
Oh so long
Oh so long
Oh so long
But I didn't wanna tell you
Oh so long

Don't take much lookin' back to know
I faked that heart attack then
And nothin's different now but nothin' seems the same
And it's alright
You always spoke the truth from
Circa disco Abba boots and
All that showbiz talk
Oh, we all had a laugh about it

I'd love to stick around but I gotta tell you
Oh so long
Oh so long
Oh so long
But I didn't wanna tell you
Oh so long

Oh so long
Oh so long
But I didn't wanna tell you
Oh so long

I gotta get back to where I belong

Long
Oh so long
Oh so long
But I didn't wanna tell you
Oh so long

So long
Oh so long
Oh so long
But I didn't wanna tell you
Oh so long

11. "Eyes Wide Open"
Written by theGoo Goo Dolls, sung by Johnny Rzeznik
[3:57]
I'm a fortunate son of a fortunate son
Livin' large on the wrong side of town
Too many friends and the fun never ends
Drinking and hanging around

I wanna rule the world, wanna swallow it whole
At least I could kick it all down
I wanna kick it all down

Eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
My eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be

I don't take the bus and I never walk too far
The furthest I ever got was my own backyard
A fistful of cash that somebody else earned
Send me some more when it all got burned


Eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
My eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be

You never ever know
You never ever know
You never ever know
You never ever know

I'll get what I want if I make up my mind
I'm turning you inside out

I wanna rule the world, wanna swallow it whole
I think I'll just kick it all down

Eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
My eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be

Eyes wide open
Eyes wide open
Eyes wide open
Eyes wide open
Eyes wide open
Eyes wide open...

12. "Disconnected"
Written by Suchman, Secrist, Guariglia, Bompzyk, sung by Johnny Rzeznik
[3:01]
I don't remember
It doesn't ring a bell
And when you call me
Everything is swell

I tend to forget
About the times we had
Now it doesn't matter
'Cause I feel so sad

I've been disconnected
Someone pulled the plug
Oh, you're so distant
Nothing's come along, yeah

We payed the price
And now we're both alone
And if you call me
You will find me home

I've found another
Someone to take your place
Now if you don't mind
Please get out of my face

'Cause I've been disconnected
Someone pulled the plug
Oh, you're so distant
Nothing's come along, yeah

'Cause I've been disconnected
Someone pulled the plug
Oh, you're so distant
Nothing's come along

I've been disconnected
Someone pulled the plug
Oh, you're so distant
Nothing's come along

I've been disconnected

13. "Slave Girl"
Written by M. Blood, R. Jakimszyn, sung by Robby Takac
[2:18]
Let me tell ya 'bout I girl I know
I drag her around where ever I go
This little woman drives me insane
She's tied to my ankle with a ball and chain

For sixteen years she's been hanging around
Tryin' to bury me in a hole in the ground
Well I think it's time that I even the score
There's only room for one in this cage of yours

Don't save me
When I'm starting to drown
Don't use me
When you don't want me around
Just be my slave girl
'Cause that's all I need
So take a little step back to the stone age with me
(Go!)

I hear a strange noise as I lie in my bed
I feel a lot of water dripping on my head
I looked around, tryed to see through my hair
You left me alone but do you think I care?

'Cause you moved me
When I was taking my time
You abuse me
When I'm outta line
You tried to warn me
Of the danger sign
So watch out
(Go!)

Well ya got me in the bondage of another age
You drive me to dectraction in a primitive way
I can't control my instincts when I hear her say
Just come around and see me if you lose your way

So join my chain gang
Play along with me
I'll be your caveman
It's basic as can be
I'm not insane man
I'm just outta my dream
