East Bay Sessions 1999

BURN CYCLE
You must admit that,
You look like shit
'Cause you've been awake all week
Sometimes it's placed that
You call your gaskets
Up to your accelerating deep
You can come down
You can come down to me (2x)
You tell us no way
We can't see what you say
We see it with our own eyes
Your in so deep that you can't even sleep
With out even me having to stack up lies
You've been in a craze for so many days
You can't even crack a grin
So how can you stand there
And tell us that you care
While your doing your self in
You can come down
You can come down to me (2x)
Your spinning your wheels your
Looking for thrills your
Burning your bridges down
Make no mistake
And take some complaints
To turn the cycle around
You had us tricked
Thought you had it kicked
Your back on the horse again
So why should it be that
We have to see
What your doing yourself in
You can come down you can come down to me (2x)
(Greg and Paul saying aaahhhh in the background)
Burning your bridges down
(Greg and Paul saying aaahhhh in the background)
Your spinning your wheels your
Looking for thrills your
Burning your bridges down
Make no mistake
And take some complaints
To turn the cycle around

STRUNG
Chorus: 
You think it's fun you think it's fun and games
Can't tell you 'cause you know everything
You know right from wrong but you do it anyway
Can't break away, can't seem to get away from you
Get away from you, from you, get away from you
Get away from

Don't know where you're going
But you know where you've been 
Time isn't kind now all the years are showing 
You don't think it's broke 
So you don't wanna fix it
Don't have a clue 
Walk away just forget it's you 
Get away from you, from you, get away from you 
Get away from you 

Chorus 2: 
Caught in the middle 
What's right, what's real 
The grass isn't greener, on your side of the fence 
I tried of this really 
No one can see 
I'm really in for 
A miserable life 

If you can't dance 
Then you can't dance with me 
You better bring your own, I only brought enough for me 
My best friend is my own prophecy 
That's what you get when you come along with me 
Come along with me, come along with 

Chorus 2
Chorus

COME ON COME ON
Walking out of the door (East Bay Sessions, he says, "Grab the keys to my car")
I'm on my way 
Can you tell me just where I'm going
Occupational skills would you give me a clue what to do (East Bay Sessions, he says, "Don't have a clue") 
'Cause my minds in motion
Just trying to relax I find myself on the couch 
With big plans but there's always tomorrow
Is something wrong with me or the way that I'm thinking (East Bay Sessions, he says, "There's nothing wrong with me") 

Come on Come on and tell me why you're staring (East Bay Sessions, he says, "Come on, come on, and tell me what your thinking") 
Come on Come on it must be what I'm wearing (East Bay Sessions, he says, "Come on, come on, and stop, this attitude taken") 
Come on Come on and tell me why's it taking so long for you to recognize and stop (East Bay Sessions, he says, "WHAT" is taking so long...) 

Another day in the sun I'm having fun feel the heat sneaking up on me (East Bay Sessions, he says, "The heat BEATING down on me") 
I take a look in the sky a plane goes by is that the reason that I can't breathe
I take a look and I wonder why, why these birds don't fly
It's hard for me to see and I believe my oh my 

Chorus

(East Bay Sessions, after the chorus Steve keeps saying, "Yeah, yeah, yeah" over and over) 
I took a trip to the bar does my money go far can you show me just how to spend it
Moving around I like the sound I find myself looking pretty stupid
If I had a gal she'd be in a dress I better slow my drinking down
If I don't get it together tonight they're gonna run me out of town
Chorus

I HAD YOU
Waking up in the morning 
My X is calling she tells me to get a job 
She tells me that I'm a slob 
But still she's calling 
Until 3 in the morning 
I come home stumbling 
I'm looking for something to eat 
My head is killing me 
It's not as good as it seems 

But I know one thing is true 
Things were better when I had you 

She known each other 
I punched your brother 
Call the police on me 
Your dad's coming after me 
Don't you take my dollar 
Restraining orders 
I keep changing my number 
You putting the blame on me 
I didn't know she was under 18 
She showed me a fake ID 
It's not as good as it looks 
It's not as good as it seems but I know one thing is true 
Things were better when I had you 

But I know one thing is true 
I'm just trying to get rid of you 
Slashing my tires, she broke into my room 
Went through my garbage 
Checking under my covers 
Looking for rubbers 
Investigate my laundry 
Changing my dead bolts 
She threw a brick through my window 
Wrapped it in a letter 
Saying I hate you I'm gonna kill you 
I could never forgive you 
But I know one thing is true to be continued

SOLITUDE
I lose my solitude 
I see myself in you I don't like what I see 
If my voice like you in sounds 
What the hell is going down 
I'm so pissed off at myself 
In the mirror, it's you that I see 
Staring back at me 
I don't like what I see 
I try to look the other way, and pretend that I'm okay 
But I know it's kinda true 
Look at myself, your just like me 
I've always told myself at you

I didn't want to be I lose my solitude 
I see myself in you 
I don't like what I see I change but it's a work 
I'm going back down to what is worse
I can't believe I yelled at you 
You yelled at me can't you see 
We're going no where fast, like a plane will crash 
Like a plane would crash, like a plane will crash 

You always said that you were proud 
Let me lay and rest your doubts 
The critizem I can't take 
But I can't deal with all your hate 
I can't deal with all your hate (2x) 
Never seem to ever let up 
All I needed was a friend 
Someone to talk to, someone to turn my thoughts around 
Pick me up when I fall down 
Lead me in the right direction 
Aid me in my ressurection 
You kicked me 'round I try to tell you I've had enough 
Feel my thoughts and feel my soul 
Tell me which way that I should go 
Which way that I should go, I should go 

I lose my solitude 
I see myself in you I don't like what I see 
I lose my solitude 
I see myself in you I don't like what I see 

SORRY
I caught you looking at yourself
Don't worry about it you look fine 
How did you get your hair so tight
Kicking things, you might as well fight
It's January/February you've got a tan 
I've got to hand it to you man 
You're the bull of the ball
Trying to stand tall
Thinking you can take them all

Sorry about your penis (3x)

I caught you looking at yourself
I bet you got overhead cams
Personalized plates and all 
Your truck was probably 20 feet tall 
I bet you say you do it a lot
I bet you don't do it at all
All the singers booted up

You might as well fuck a guy up 

Sorry about your penis (3x)
Sorry I'm sorry 
Sorry i'm sorry so sorry 

You don't get it you'll never will
Flirting with that macho man, overkill 
Seeing everything as if it was a sport
The only thing you'll win is a case of warts 
Cookie cutter man you all you look a like
Drink 'em up drink 'em up Fight! Fight! Fight!
Move it with the man, got a tounge-in-cheek
Don't re-create please, please, please

Sorry about your penis (3x)
Sorry about your penis (3x) 

TRIP
Making faces from across the room 
Look at me looking at you 
What's your name, my name too 
I'm getting the chills sitting next to you 
Shake myself in your soul 
The blood in your veins 
The smell your clothes 
What am I suppose to do 
There's nothing left for me to choose 
Make my move or walk away 
Once again with out a date 
Is it me or do I smell 
I had a shower the other what the hell, is going on 
Just where do I belong 
I don't really care 

Get outta my hair, get outta my hair

Smoke my cigarettes and drive my car 
Flick your ashes on my bedroom floor 
Wear my underwear, steal my shirts 
I think it's love and then you burp 
If I died you'd probably spit on my grave
And date my friends the very next day
Your always complaining that I'm not home 
When I try to call you on the telephone 
My pants are falling my socks don't fit 
I can't seem to walk with out having to trip over you 
Just what am I gonna do 
I don't really care 

Get outta my hair, get outta my head 

What is said, what is done 
I take it on the run 
I won't apologize 
I won't be telling lies 
How could you, why would you 
Take advantage of and leave me of my love 
Then leave

Smash my windows and keyed my car 
And outta the blue you send a birthday card 
What's a man suppose to do 
When all I get is grieve from you 
Playing games and trashin' my 
Who could it be 
Hopefully nobody for me 
I don't really care 
Get outta my hair 

PET NAMES
Just when I thought everything would be okay 
Just when I started to believe that everything was going my way 
Out came the cloud from under my feet 
Crashing back down to reality 
You used to call me pumpkin now I'm Halloween 
Remember when I used to be your jelly bean 
You used to call me schnookums and shit like that 
Now you're after me with a baseball bat 
I remember when I used to be the king 
Your honey sweety darling baby everything 
I used to be your tall dark mystery man 
Now I'm just straight up history man 
Just when I thought everything would be alright 
Just when I started to believe that everything was out of sight 
You left me with nothing but a scribbled note 
That said I would no longer be your love boat 
From here on out my pet name would be X 
Your X your X your X 
It used to be sugar then it turned into salt 
I used to rock your world now I'm standing on a fault line 
Lying naked in a hail storm in the dark 
You're my little tornado and I am your trailer park 
You used to call me names too cute to repeat 
Like honey bunch hairy bear and piccolo peet 
Goochy goochy goo gaga shit like that 
Now you're after me screaming you dirty rat 
I don't remember applying for a name change 
So why is it you're calling me Mister Deranged 
Psycopathic pornographic stinking drunk 
Failing fast lying ass worthless punk 
You used to call me sweety pie and baby doll 
I guess another stud's kicking in my stall 
You'll probably call him superman or loverboy 
You'll probably disregard him like a broken toy 
Just when he thought everything was going his way 
Just when he started to believe that everything was hunky dory 
He'll look at that cloud that he's standing on 
And with an itsy bitsy teeny little almost inaudible squeak 
He'll notice 
It's gone 
From here on out his pet name would be X 
Your X your X your X 
Sweety pie?
No X 
Honey bunch? 
No X
Bubble butt?
No X 
Pumpkin face? 
X!

GET SOME HOES
Steve: We're gonna get some hoes tonight 

Let's go get some hoes (2x)
You drive, and I know,
'Cause we're gonna get some hoes
(laugh) 

Steve: Rock, motherfucker.

EVERYWORD
Watching for a sound to lead me to where ever you go 
I can't help it I will always love you 
Chorus: 
It used to be no words could come between us 
Any time was right for secret meetings 
It's different now and when you speak 
Every word means no (2x) 

I'm thinking of things that come to life 
Your going through some things so shallow 
Theres nothing to fight 

It used to be no words could come between us 
Any time was right for secret meetings 
It's different now and when you speak 
Every word means no (2x) 

I'm a slave I'm anything 
I haven't lost my way 
I'm looking around in directions 
'Cause all I ever thought about was you 
Predicting puts me down on shaky ground 
I keep thinking your looking at me 
Do you want me around 

It used to be no words could come between us 
Any time was right for secret meetings 
It's different now and when you speak 
Every word means no (2x

NERVOUS IN THE ALLEY
She's 15 and she's leaving home 
Living on the streets where she don't feel alone 
Daddy's always gone and mommy's on the sauce 
Living in a mansion it's easy to get lost 
She's going to a place where they understand 
Baby's on the way her womb's a garbage can 
Who said anything about a good life 
This one's bad bad bad bad 
Gonzo again - just another entry to the neverending story 
Wasted again - I think you need a new best friend 
Nervous in the alley off the boulevard 
Shaking all over and the panic starts 
You see she needs to get her prescription filled 
And she knows exactly how she'll be billed 
Nervous in the alley waiting for a fix 
She ain't got no money just a couple of tricks 
Who said anything about a charmed life 
This one's sad sad sad sad 
Gonzo again - just another entry to the neverending story 
Wasted again - I think you need a new best friend 
Who said anything about a good life 
Who said anything about a charmed life 
Who said anything about a fair life 
It's mad 
Dying in the alley waiting for her man 
Carrying her child and a sleeping bag 
Should have would have could have never crossed her mind 
So she passes on to the other side 
Here he comes suit shades car and a beeper 
Sugar daddy pimp pushing fucking grim reaper 

Who said anything about a fair life 
This one's mad mad mad mad 
Gonzo again - just another entry to the neverending story 
Wasted again - I think you need a new friend 
Gonzo again - just another entry to the neverending story 
Wasted again - she's got herself a new best friend

BEER GOGGLES
I don’t love you but I want to 
Just give me something I can hold on to 
Come on baby and speed your lust to me 
Here’s my number on a cocktail napkin 
Think about it like a loaded weapon 
Cock the hammer and point that thing at me 

Why don’t you call 
Why don’t you call 
Why don’t you call 
Kill me for the thrill of it all

I want someone anyone 
Tall ones short ones skinny ones 
I want someone anyone 
You spend your nights at home crying 
I spend mine death defying 
I call it testing morality 
So pull the goggles down over your eyes 
And say good night to the rest of the barflies 
I’m forever yours temporarily 

Why don’t you call 
Why don’t you call 
Why don’t you call 
Kill me for the thrill of it all 

I want someone anyone 
Drunk ones spun ones anyone 
I want someone anyone 
Fat ones whacked ones give me some 
I want someone anyone 
Spend some rent one lend me one 
Fun ones dumb ones gypsy chicks on rocks 
Done ones even chicks with chicken pox 

I want someone anyone 
I want someone anyone 
I want someone anyone 
I want someone anyone 
Drunk ones spun ones give me some 
I want someone anyone 
Fat ones whacked ones anyone 
I want someone anyone 

IF YOU DONT
If you don't wanna be 
Like all the rest of them 
Like all my so called friends 
Walk with me, stand by me 
Take what you want from me 
Get what you feel you need 
If it means that much to you
Take it please 

Chorus: 
If you don't come if you don't go 
If you think theres something I should know 
You can come and share your misery with me 
Yeah with me 

Why don't you understand 
That my hearts lying in your hands 
You squeeze and bleed me dry 
I try to live you want me to die 
If it means that much to you 
If you think theres something I should do 
Take what you want from me 
Get what you need take it please 

If you don't come if you don't go 
If you think theres something I should know 
You can come and share your misery with me 
Yeah with me 

If you don't come if you don't go 
If you think theres something I should know 
You can come and share your misery with me 
Yeah with me 

If you don't come if you don't go 
If you think theres something I should know 
You can come and share your misery with me 
Yeah with me

PUSH
Why don't you condone it 
Why don't you set me free 
I don't think you own it 
Cause it belongs to me 
And if I ever want to take it back 
You try to lie and hide it 
Look who's laughing last 
Everyone around me thinks they know 
They try to see it 
But I don't let it show 
Stay out of my business 
Keep your hands off my door 
I've got a bed 
I'd rather sleep on the floor 
Screaming in my head 
I don't like it anymore 
No place to go 
Leave me alone 
I don't want to know 
Nobody ever seems to understand 
Every day I wake up 
And do the best that I can 
I've got my problems 
You've got yours too 
You try to label me 
Have you ever looked at you 
Nobody's perfect 
I really think you do 
And if you are why am I standing next to you 
No place to go 
Leave me alone 
I don't want to know 
I spin my wheels and try to figure it out 
What's going on 
And what's it all about 
Where did I go wrong 
I think I'm having my doubts 
About what you said 
And what you're going to do 
I'm so pissed off 
I blame it on you 
I've done it all 
There's nothing left for me to do 
What's going on 
Piss on you 
No place to go 
Leave me alone 
Don't want to know
