1.Everybody Loves Me But You
Well i wake up every morning and the first thing that i say
Is that i hope that i can make it through another lonely day
I'm afraid i might explode if i keep going on this way
People always notice me wherever i go
They think i'm lucky but they don't really know
Beauty and brains are all that i've got
I've got a cold cold bed and a broken heart, a broken heart
Everybody loves me, everyone but you
But nobody undoes me like the thought of you can do
They search my eyes but i don't know why
'cos all i ever do is cry
Everybody loves me but you
Girls wanna be me so they can pick and choose
They figure out of ten men there's no way that they can lose
Men would walk the plank for me and set themselves on fire
What do they see in me that isn't sad and tired, tired
I could fill my life with people who wanna be with me
Do like when they say there's other fish in the sea
There's a world out there and a million things to do
But what do i care if it doesn't include you, you
Everybody loves me, everyone but you
But nobody undoes me like the thought of you can do
They search my eyes but i don't know why
'cos all they ever do is cry
Everybody loves me
A cold cold bed and a broken heart
A cold cold bed and a broken heart
An empty house and a broken car
A cold cold bed and a broken heart
2.Lost And Saved
I know exactly where we stand
You're on your feet and i'm in quicksand
I can't help myself, i need a hand
Just when i think i'm dead
He turns up just in time for bed
I thank my lucky stars again
I sold my soul for rock and roll
I never ever get a kiss
But now i bought it back and gave it away
For another night like this
I found a way to use my head
I go over and over every word you said
Look how i can make something out of nothing
Say a prayer for the dying and the lost, ooh
When he said he loved me he was
Lying but he had his fingers crossed
It's ok he's not to blame
Let him have his toys
I know how to play that game
And i know that he's a beautiful boy
I'll take him any day
But i won't wait around and i won't pray
Cos in my heart of hearts i have been saved
Say a prayer for the dying and the lost, ooh
When he said he loved me he was
Lying but he had his fingers crossed
3.I See You
What's that over there moving on the wall
A second glance and it's not there at all
What's that sitting there on the page of my book
It hides behind the words when i try to take a closer look
I can't reach out and grab it but that's ok with me
What's that jumping up and down in the middle of the street
It lingers then it melts into the wavy liquid heat
What are all those dizzy circles in the corner of my eye
They laugh and float away as i look into the sky
Can't get my arms around it but that doesn't bother me
'cos all i have to do is dream
I see you every place i go
I see you in people i don't even know
I close my eyes and i see you
I open 'em wide and i see you
I see you
Who am i to close my mind from what it wants to see
And who are you to tell the truth and kill my fantasy
Why are all those people always saying things about me
I'm not a loser, i'm just lonely
Yeah i wanna lay down next to you
But i'm not one to complain
Yeah i wanna touch you too
Do me a favor and appease my aching eyes
Won't you please materialize
Play another of your tricks with my sight
Be here in the flesh tonight
What's that pretty little thing crawling up my wrist
Call me crazy, call me a masochist
But i'd rather have you in my mind than completely out of sight
So i'll just go on dreaming for the rest of my life
I see you every night and day
I see you in a million different ways
I close my eyes and i see you
I open 'em wide and i see you
Yeah, i see you
4.The Lights
I follow the path of a falling star
It takes me closer to where you are, are
What can i do, i try to be with you
But i can only go so far
You're light years ahead of me
So bright that i can't help but see
And you, i know how good it could be
I try to look outside myself
I try to find some outside help
I'll try to sleep 'till you come up tonight
And i'll lie down right under the lights
For a little while i can feel all right
A better life is in plain sight
I'll be fine until the time comes to put out all of the lights
Half a moon is moon enough
To get me all the way across the bay
A roman candle shoots off from the beach
And lightning strikes a place way out of my reach
I'd say i have the perfect view
If only it was always true
But in dark is it most of the time
When i get right down in front of the lights
Sometimes i really start to feel all right
A better life is in plain sight
I'll be fine until the sun comes up and dims the light of the
night
Come up right down next to me
I don't have to say anything
It's better than any made up fantasy
Looking out and looking up
I can see with my eyes shut
This might just be the best time of my life
And when i get right down in front of the lights
Sometimes i really start to feel all right
A better life is in plain sight
I'll be fine until the time comes to put out all of the lights
5.Nirvana
I shut the windows and close the store
I lay down on the bathroom floor
Everyone i know is a bore
I'm starting to think that everything stinks
That i could really use a drink
Then i got up and hit my head on the sink
Father father father father
Do you call
Father father father
Should i end it all
Now, here comes the song i love so much
Makes me wanna go fuck shit up
Now, i got nirvana in my head
I'm so glad i'm not dead
I slam my hand in the car door
I scream 'till i could scream no more
Bloody and mean and rotten to the core
Father father father father
Do you call
Satan satan satan
Should i end it all
You try to get off the ground
But you always end up coming down
When the sound comes around and goes in your ears
You can do anything you have no fears
When that sound comes around and goes in my ears
I can do anything i have no fears
Now, here comes the song i love so much
Makes me wanna go fuck shit up
I got nirvana in my head
I'm so glad i'm not dead
Here comes the song, i love it so much
Makes me wanna go fuck shit up
Now, i got nirvana in my head
I'm so glad i'm not dead
6.Forever Baby
He falls down drunk, i hold him up
He drinks and i refill his cup
Then i take him home and put him to bed
He wakes me in the dead of night
Lets me be his second sight
To guide him when he's sleep-walking
Listen when he's sweet-talking
I see the end of the road in his eyes
He's got a long way to go
I hold him like a loaded gun
I know he might go off with anyone
But i know he's only tryin' to have some fun
He sees a couple of things in me
Like how i'm not very hard to please
It's really pretty easy
I see my long lost home in his eyes
He sees a nice hotel in mine
I'll stick it out forever babe
If we keep coming back together maybe
You'll start to see it like me
I'll stick it out forever babe
If we keep coming back together maybe
You'll start to see it like me
I'll stick it out forever baby x12
7.Ugly
I don't look at faces, i look at my feet
I'm all alone when i walk down the street
I'm in the kitchen 'cos i can't take the heat
I wanna leave but i stay in my seat
'cos i'm ugly with a capital u
And i don't need a mirror to see that it's true
Ask me a question then i will mess up, ooh
I'll tell a lie and i'll never fess up
I'm pretty lost but i don't wanna be found
No no no no no
My tiny screams don't make a sound, no
'cos i'm ugly with a capital u
And i don't need a mirror to see that it's true
'cos i'm ugly with a capital u
And i need nobody to tell me the truth
8.No Outlet
Do, do do do, do do do
I left when you were still asleep
Glad we had the chance to meet
I walked by your room and whispered your name
I knew i wouldn't be back again
It's seed that's gotta go unsown
It's a missed connection, a cancelled show
Do do do, do do do
There's a light shining out through your eyes at me
But getting in is just like trying to crawl up a tree
I try to get past all that stuff
But a little while is never enough
Like a power line it's hanging low
Seems like there's no outlet on this deadend road
Do do do, do do do
Hey, babe, there's something i can keep
Break off a chunk of you and give me a piece
I put it in my pocket to save it for the days
When thoughts of you come back to me and won't go away
'cos i cannot make my dreams come true no matter how i try
And i cannot be satisfied just knowing you're alive
Dealt a good hand and forced to fold
Pushed by circumstances beyond our control
9.Quit
I made it to the top of the wall
This could be mine, i could own it all
I better jump before i fall
I'm gonna quit while i'm ahead
Before i say anything
That i wish, that i wish i hadn't said
This is it, my car has arrived
To take us to the greener grass on the other side
But look at all the people who died
Crashed when they went out for a ride
So i'm gonna quit while i'm ahead
Before i say anything
That i wish, that i wish i hadn't said
10.Get Off Your Knees
You taste little bits that wouldn't digest
And you shit 'em out of your system
You grab hands, squeeze, then let it go
Drop it and watch it fall away like snow
Yearning for a drug that doesn't exist
Using your mouth like a fist
That smile can't even show on your face
You gotta get out of this place
Like the noose snared to your leg don't fit
Though even if you found the key you can't
Get off your knees and repeat after me
The devil rocks my soul
Accept the fact that he didn't die
And you'll begin to go
There's a lump in my throat that won't go away
I'm gonna rip it out
I'm gonna kill desire and knock it down
You'll be under my foot down on the ground
You're trying to get the picture
When there's nothing really to get
You're running around in the desert trying to get wet
You're wanting to hold on tight
When there's nothing really to hold
Stop that train of thought that drives you into the cold
Get off your knees and repeat after me
The devil rocks my soul
Accept the fact that he didn't die
And you'll begin to go
Get off your knees and repeat after me
The devil rocks my soul
Accept the fact that he didn't die
And you'll begin to go
11.No Answer
You're the only one thing that i believe
The only one thing that i can see
I'm not blind so tell me why
Why don't you come up and see me some time
It's the only thing that stays with me
The one thing that won't run away from me
The answer doesn't lie (do do do do do do)
At least not in the back of my mind (do do do do do do)
Can't find it in your eye (do do do do do do)
Can't find it in time
I'm sure of myself and i know the truth
Now all i have to do is show it to you
It looks so easy but it's hard to do
You
I jump in the car, turn the music on
I'm gonna be gone, but i don't know how long
I've got time, so tell me why
Will it take a whole life
To prove what you know is right
Why, why, why
Why, why
The answer doesn't lie (do do do do do do)
At least not in the back of my mind (do do do do do do)
Can't find it in your eye (do do do do)
Can't find it in time
Do do do do do do do x4
Do do do do do do dooo x4
Do do do do do do dooooooo x4
Oooh
