Dizzy Up the Girl

1. "Dizzy"
Written and sung by John Rzeznik
[2:41]
You’re cynical and beautiful
You always make a scene
You’re monochrome delirious
You’re nothing that you seem
I’m drowning in your vanity
Your laugh is a disease
You’re dirty and you’re sweet
You know you’re everything I need

Oh, everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you want

I wanna kick at the machine
That made you piss away your dreams
And tear at your defenses
Till there’s nothing there but me
You’re angry when you’re beautiful
Your love is such a tease
I’m drowning in your dizzy noise
I wanna feel you scream

Oh, everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you want

Oh, everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you want

Everything you are
Whatever ever you want
Whatever ever you want
Whatever ever you want

2. "Slide"
Written and sung by John Rzeznik
[3:32]
Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel
I'll give ya anything
To feel it comin'

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide

Yeah, we're gonna let it slide

Don't you love the life you've killed
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you

Don't supposed I'll ever know
What it means to be a man
That's something I can't change
I'll live around it

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Mmm slide

And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing
That fall

Oh May, oh put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh May, do you wanna get married
Or run away?

And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing
That fall

Oh May, oh put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh May, do you wanna get married
Or run away?

I wanna wake up where you are
(I won't say anything)

And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing
That fall

And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing
That fall

Just slide between them sheets of all those beds you never knew
Just slide into my room
Yeah just slide into room
And oh we'll run away, run away, run away...

3. "Broadway"
Written and sung by John Rzeznik
[3:58]
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting
In the old man’s bar
Waiting for his turn to die

The cowboy kills the rock star
And Friday night’s gone too far
The dim light hides the years
On all the faded girls

Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world
Like it’s someplace that you’ve been

You see you’d love to run home
But you know you ain’t got one
Cuz you’re livin’ in a world
That you’re best forgotten around here

Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting
In the old man’s bar
Waiting for his turn to die

You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
You pray to statues when you sober up for fun
Your anger don’t impress me
The world slapped in your face
It always rains like hell on the losers day parade

You see you’d love to run home
But you know you ain’t got one
’Cause you’re livin’ in a world that you’re best forgotten
And when you’re thinkin’ you're a joke
And nobody’s gonna listen
To the one small point
I know they been missin’ round here

Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting
In the old man’s bar
Waiting for his turn to die

You see you’d love to run home
But you know you ain’t got one
’Cause you’re livin’ in a world
That you’re best forgotten
And if you’re thinkin’ of a joke
And nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point
I know they been missin’ round here
Round here

Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting
In the old man’s bar
Waiting for his turn to die

4. "January Friend"
Written and sung by Robby Takac
[2:44]
Reach
For higher ground
About the way you look
The way you scream out loud
Mine
Just like the last time
It’s all the same to me
She said...

Let’s pretend
My January friend
I’m wantin’ you again
I wanna touch ya
Every single heart that beats pretend
My January friend
I’m wantin’ you again
I wanna touch ya
Every single heart that beats

Cry
Don’t cry out loud
You’ve gotta bear your cross
But never dream too loud
And you’re tied
Tied to the next time
You realize
Your crimes

Let’s pretend
My January friend
I’m wantin’ you again
I wanna touch ya
Every single heart that beats pretend
My January friend
I’m wantin’ you again
I wanna touch ya
Every single heart that beats

Time stood still
Monday morning, yeah
(Yeah)
Showed me what I had to see
It’s not the way I thought it should be
Oh yeah

You’re my January friend
You’re my January friend
You’re my January friend
And every heart that beats pretend
My January friend
You’re my January friend
You’re my January friend
And every heart that beats tonight’s pretend

5. "Black Balloon"
Written and sung by John Rzeznik
[4:09]
Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you’re not thinking about tomorrow
’Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees

A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb

Comin’ down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone’s prayer

You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What’s the things they never showed you
That swallow the light from the sun
Inside your room
Yeah

Comin’ down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Always someone's prayer

And there’s no time left for losin’
When you stand they fall

Comin’ down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
All because I’m
Comin’ down the years turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I’ll go on, I will lead you home
All because I’m
All because I’m
And I’ll become
What you became to me

6. "Bullet Proof"
Written and sung by John Rzeznik
[4:37]
Do you listen to yourself
Never live for someone else
Do you like the way you feel
Nothing hurts when no one's real
She wants to shake this scene
Yeah she wants to shake with me
She’s not looking for the holes in all the lies

I wanna bullet proof your soul
Would you like to lose control
I won’t let you fall until you tell me so

What are we?
(Whatcha wanna be?)
Everything!
That you wanna be
All I need
(Right in front of me)
I’ve known before

Would you come my way
Or did you burn out to the end
Would you come my way
Should have listened when you called my name

Yeah she wants to tear you down
And she leaves without a sound
It’s like fallin’ backwards
Into no one’s arms

You’re a bullet through my soul
And I’ll never let you know
I won’t let you fall until you let it go

What are we?
(Whatcha wanna be)
Everything!
That you wanna be
All I need
(Right in front of me)
I’ve known before

Would you come my way
Or did you burn out to the end
Would you come my way
Should have listened when you called my name

Would you come my way
Or did you burn out to the end
Would you come my way
Should have listened when you called my name
Should have listened when you called my name
Should have listened when you called my name
Should have listened when you called my name

7. "Amigone"
Written and sung by Robby Takac
[3:15]
Every time you point your finger
Three more point right back at you
I’m not sayin’ that there's something wrong with life
’Cause that’s a sad excuse
An age old game of rat and mouse
Is chasin’ us from house to house
I’m not sayin’ that there's something wrong with you
It's wrong with me as well

Are you alive
Amigone
(...Miracles gone wrong)
Is it to late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone
(...Miracles gone wrong)
Was the poison that I put there all along
Amigone

Heavenly intoxication
Love’s been marred by medication
Ain’t it funny how a life can take a turn
When the end is near

Are you alive
Amigone
(...Miracles gone wrong)
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone
(...Miracles gone wrong)
Is it too late to face the truth that it was wrong
Amigone

I’m not sayin’ that it’s nothing
I ain't gonna play along
I ain't wishin’ for a miracle
That miracle’s gone wrong
And you’re too strong
Amigone
(...Miracles gone wrong)
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone
(...It's there all along)
Was the poison that I put there all along
Are you alive
Amigone
(...Miracles gone wrong)
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone
(...It's there all along)
Was the poison that I put there all along
Amigone

8. "All Eyes On Me"
Written and sung by John Rzeznik
[3:57]
Daylight burns your sleepy eyes
And it's hard to see you dreaming
You hide inside yourself
And I wondered what you’re thinkin’
And everything you’re chasing
It seems to leave you empty

And it won’t take long to burn
All eyes on me
Through the nothing that you’ve learned
All eyes on me
And the things you choose to be
All eyes on me
But your eyes look away
It’s so hard to be someone
Strung out from today
And all that you knew slips away

You drown in deeper oceans
Inventing new religions
They smile and stab my back
And I lie and have to laugh

And it won’t take long to burn
All eyes on me
Through the nothing that you’ve learned
All eyes on me
And the things you choose to be
All eyes on me
But your eyes look away
It’s so hard to be someone
Strung out from today
And all that you knew slips away

And you hide in your room
And the lights burn away
And you move from the truth
It’s all so far from you

9. "Full Forever"
Written and sung by Robby Takac
[2:51]
And I’ve had to fight
Another blurred affair tonight
Eyelids wrestle once again
Never gonna see my friend
Guided by the blinding white

Have you left home in spite
Knowing I’m alone tonight
Waiting for the light of day
Doesn’t matter anyway
Nothing that I need to say

And I’ve gone underground
I'm never hangin’ round
Should have made it back again

Why can’t the moon stay full forever
Wednesday’s bad but Friday ain’t much better
(...Someone’s hell)
Why can’t the moon stay full forever
Right now she’s got nothin’ on her mind

Will this neverland
Free me from its clutching hands
It won’t release me

And I’ve gone underground
Obsessions I have found
Couldn’t make it back again

Why can’t the moon stay full forever
Wednesday’s bad but Friday ain’t much better
(...Someone’s hell)
Why can’t the moon stay full forever
Right now she’s got nothin’ on her mind

10. "Acoustic #3"
Written and sung by John Rzeznik
[1:56]
They painted up your secrets
With the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew

And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming
No one's listening anyway

Your voice is small and fading
And you hide in here unknown
And your mother loves your father
'Cause she's got nowhere to go

And she wonders where these dreams go
'Cause the world got in her way
What's the point in ever trying
Nothing's changing anyway

They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you're falling anyway

And you know I see right through you
'Cause the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming
You're not listening anyway

11. "Iris"
Written and sung by John Rzeznik
[4:49]
And I’d give up forever to touch you
’Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be
And I don’t wanna go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it’s over
I just don’t wanna miss you tonight

And I don’t want the world to see me
’Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't comin'
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don’t want the world to see me
’Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don’t want the world to see me
’Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don’t want the world to see me
’Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

12. "Extra Pale"
Written and sung by Robby Takac
[2:10]
Extra pale
Oh you’re frail now
I shouldn’t laugh about it
Tragedy sets you free
But I should have known it from the start
I should have known that it was...

Just another sequel
Just another reason for you

How’s your day
Did it go your way
But you never ask about it
All the things I wish I’d be
I should have known it from the start
I should have known that it was...

Just another sequel
Just another reason for you
Just another sequel
Just another reason for your sighs

Extra pale
Oh you’re frail now
I couldn’t laugh about it
Tragedy sets you free
But I should have known that it was...

Just another sequel
Just another reason for you
Just another sequel
Just another reason for your lies

13. "Hate This Place"
Written and sung by John Rzeznik
[4:23]
Gone away
Who knows where you been
You take all your lies
And wish them all away

I somehow doubt
We’ll ever be the same
There’s too much poison
And confusion on your face

Can you feel it
I didn’t mean it
Can I see you
What are we doin’
I think I love you
But I ain’t sayin’ nothin’ you don’t know

Hold on, dreamaway
You’re my sweet charade

Take your time
Move yourself to me
Yeah I can take your lies
Until you fall away
You know I’m lost
Hiding in your bed
No I don’t think it’s wrong
It’s just gone to my head

Can you feel it
I didn’t mean it
Can I see you
What are we doin’
I think I love you
But I ain’t sayin’ nothin’ you don’t know

Hold on, dreamaway
You’re my sweet charade

Hey watcha do to me
Would you come back to me
Yeah I can’t do another day
I’m not certain of it anyway
I ain't messin’ with another life
Can I get on without you
Tell me lies
That you
Know I need

Hold on, dreamaway
You’re my sweet charade

Hold on, dreamaway
You’re my sweet charade

Hold on, dreamaway
Hold on, dreamaway
