1. Long Way Down 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. 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 want to 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 anything to feel? Is it pain that makes you real? Cut me off before it kills me. (Chorus) 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. (Chorus)
2. Burnin' Up You said you're burnin' up inside, and no one seems to tell. Your living from a personalized manual from hell. Life is pretty (it seems so) easy when it's from my easy chair. And you're burnin' up inside and no one's cares. You said you had enough of this town, this town don't treat you well. You always find coincidence, well I do parallel. Come and take my hand tonight, I'll show you where to start. Cuz every word that left your lips, like a needle through my heart.
3. Naked Yeah I'm fadin' And I call out No one hears me Never been, never felt, never thought I'd say a word Weighed down, Say it now Chorus:You're naked inside your fear Can't take back all those years Shots in the dark from empty guns 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, Say it now (Chorus) Inside your head No one's there And I don't think I'll ever be And I don't care (Chorus)
4. Flat Top Flat top intervention Bringing home a 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 you're on Sleeping on the White House lawn ain't never changed a thing Look at all the washed out Hippie dreams And it's fallin' all around us Is this some kinda joke they're trying to pull on us Fallin' all around us I turned my head off for a while The tabloid generation's lost Choking on it's fear Used to be that's all we had to fear Conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked loves to speak His 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 fallin' all around us Is this some kinda joke they're trying to pull on us Fallin' all around us I turned 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 fallin' all around us Is this some kinda joke they're trying to pull on us Fallin' all around us I turned my head off for a while
5. Impersonality When I was three feet tall I loved the mall and lived life for myself Fallin down for laughs Your photograph some puppets made of felt Watching ???? last Thanksgiving eve on Grandma's old TV Dancing roundabout I twist and shout for everyone to see Impersonality It's leaning hard on me Mama's in her shop watching little sister by myself Robbed the wishing pond in a fleeting bond Bound to share the wealth Scooping up the coins a warning shout from some authority Doesn't matter now But I'll shout out 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 you all I see Listen hard to your reality Impersonality It's leaning hard on me Impersonality It's leaning hard on me
6. Name And even though the moment passed me by I still can't turn away I saw the dreams you never thought you'd lose tossed along the way Letters that you never meant to send Lost or thrown away And now we're grown up orphans That never knew their names Don't belong to no one That's a shame You could hide beside me Maybe for a while and I won't tell noone your name I won't tell em' your name Scars are souvenirs you never lose The past is never far Did you lose yourself somewhere out there did you get to be a star Don't it make you sad to know that life is more that who we are You grew up way too fast and 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 noone your name I won't tell em' your name I won't tell em' your name I won't tell em' your name 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 I'll open up my head awhile, It's been dead for years. I must have been a victim of my peers. One is for my happiness, The other for my health. The last is something bigger than myself. I ain't the only one, I ain't the only one. I ain't the only one to say. I'm talkin' to myself again, I'll just start a fight. When nobody can prove me wrong, I'm right. Anti-hero idol With a suicide excuse. A thousand other suckers will try and fill your shoes. 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 turnin' inside out again. This fuckin' up takes practice, I feel I'm well rehearsed. Because the past is a bully, And the futures even worse. You tell me what you fear, 'Cuz I can feel it like a curse. I used to be a folk singer, now you're just a joke singer. Ain't no smokin' dope singer, swingin 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 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 What those neon lights do 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 Aw but I know that somethin' bad is gonna change Oh yes I know that somethin' bad is gonna change Well I see you working round the clock till six A.M. The thermometer's at minus five degrees And I'm wondering where all that hard earned money goes To a head above 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 Aw but I know that somethin' bad is gonna change Oh yes I know that somethin' bad is gonna change GO! 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 Aw but I know that somethin' bad has gotta change Oh yes I know that somethin' bad had gotta change yes I know that somethin' bad has gotta change yes I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
9. Ain't That Unusual Can you talk to me Honestly Cuz I never heard a word you said now And I ain't just being mean Cuz 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 lines Someday you never made it and maybe you never will Hey, you never made it It 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 What's that supposed to mean I'm burnt out on some empty reasons And other wastes of time Something that I wish I'd said But I don't think it rhymed Someday you never made it and maybe you never will Hey, you never made it It ain't that unusual See I'd love to be you Least then I'd see you Sorry I put them words in your mouth but you wouldn't talk to me Everything I want I haven't got Sick of everything I'm not Put my heavy coat on for a while It's freezing in the corner of my mind Someday you never made it and maybe you never will Hey, you never made it Now ain't that unusual
10. So Long Don't take much looking back to know I took my coffee black then nothing's different now but nothing seems the same and it's alright. Your optimistic views Your hundred dollar running shoes and carpool 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 (2x) but I didn't wanna tell you oh so long Don't take much looking back to know I faked that heart attack then nothing's different now but nothing seems the same and it's alright You always spoke the truth from circled disco hobbled boots and all that shobiz talk girl we all had a laugh about it I'd love to stick around but I gotta tell you oh so long oh so long (2x) but I didn't wanna tell you oh so long oh so long (2x) but I didn't wanna tell you oh so long I gotta get back doin' unto you long oh so long (2x) but I didn't wanna tell you oh so long oh so long (2x) but I didn't wanna tell you oh so long
11. Eyes Wide Open I'm a fortunate son, of a fortunate son, Livinglarge on the wrong side of town Too many friends and the fun never ends Drinkin' and hangin' around I wanna' own the world, I wanna' swallow it whole At least I could kick it all down I wanna' kick it all down (chorus) 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 walked too far The furthest I got was my own backyard A fist full of cash that somebody else earned They sent me some more when it all got burned I wanna' take control, I wanna' make it all mine At least I could kick it all down I wanna' kick it all down (chorus) I'll get what I want as I make up my mind I'm turnin' you inside out I wanna' own the world, I wanna' swallow it whole I think I can kick it all down I wanna' kick it all down (chorus)
12. Disconnected 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 doesnt matter cuz i feel so sad Cuz I've been disconnected Someone pulled the plug Oh you're so distant now just come along Yeah we've paid the price and now we're both alone And if you call me youll find me home I found another Someone to take your place Now if you dont mind just get Out of my face
13.
