i know that somedays i can be a bore
and i'll have to say i'm pretty sure
if i changed you would like me more.
if i pierced my neck and i went hardcore
if i got a job at a liquor store
if i changed you would like me more.
i buy a pearl fam t-shirt and cut my jeans
wear long johns that were cammy green
girl if i's 15, you'd like me more?
i like star wars cards and babylon 5
x-men comics keep me alive
girl i'm sci-fi, do you like me more?
if i's all strung out and played hacky sak
if i talked really slow and studied zodiac
honey don't hold back, would you like me more?
if i grew dread locks, the bob marley type
if i smoked sensamilla through a hookah pipe
wear Jamacian stripes, do ya' like me more?
if i shaved my body and got real white
wear a studded leather necklace with the three-inch spike
i come out at night, do ya' like me more?
if i had long hair and a wallet chain
if i fucked shit up, and i snort cocaine
if i's uncontained, would you like me more?
i like cartoon pictures of japanese girls
lara croft, baby, said she rules my world
yes she rules my world, do ya' like me more
if i learn to break dance and buy a lowered truck
if i wear my sweatpants with one leg up
if i knew wuzup... would you like me more?
why i'm spending half my life in vertigo
it's hard to show, this i know
just what you mean to me love, can't let go
it's my life, don't try to fight my childish glow
my fellow ship, my little trip, my vertigo
oh no
hip hip hoorah, i say i saw
4 kiddie's minds run wild in america
see the stars, they're not too far
they don't look too appealing but you know they are
it's my life, don't try to fight my childish glow
my little trip, my fellow ship, my vertigo
oh no
he's running out of time
changing with the season, has to leave it all behind
it's happened once before or maybe twice
it's hard to pinpoint every story you devise
you just have to start a new life with no disguises
but every place you go you have a past
don't matter what you do, it's never gonna last
and that is why...
scott lied.
keeping clean and getting high
until the girl with angel eyes stepped into his life.
2 or 3 or maybe more, it had started like before.
breaking legs and saving lives
out in vegas getting wives, and his sister died
it's getting harder to describe what had happened in his life, cause he can't remember if he's 22 or if it's all just another lie
and that is why...

we're the good kids, our histories spanning the globe, but this is our home
some of us came from an ocean-and-a-half away, a year-and-a-day, we were okay
9 or 10 led astray, be as it may we were so free, experimentationally
I guarantee it was easy, to round up whatever we'd need, easy indeed
aliens at briscoe beach and the tommy's stuck and the ltd bring back memories
of a night where we went to war for the rights of the human being
pick me up at the secret spot at 6:50 on the dot, hey dickie watch out for that waterfall
'bout time for a schneider break, covered by a #4, hey, the word on the street is your
we'll bid hello to sacrifice, trudging through the snow and ice, I tell you girl it's suicide
when you decide that ample time is time enough to call your bluff, to brave the
rough just to know what it's like on the inside...
that's all we want yeah, all around, i'm never gonna live this down
bloody walls can't tell you how it's gonna be a year from now,
when every kid in every town is begging that they want some more,
but our percussion is on the floor
spill the wine and take that girl, two of us in different worlds
when you fly home i'll be the one that takes you there
grab something and hold it tight, even if it's just one night,
the sun can make it alright...
the seas and sand at briscoe beach, razor blades and slurring speech
everything you think of is cool, and you'll rule the school, 10,000 watts
and further more, follow me, boys, off to war so quietly out the door
an awesome sight to see your overall
it's like when ladies love said he needs his round the way girl
don't see no strap, you make me drop my jaw
i don't think i've ever seen white flesh look so angelic, kid
just with a touch of blue and a studded shoe -- ooh ooh ooh
don't claim to be no anna sui or molinari buff
if you wanna know my chop it looks good 'cause it looks good on you
i pray to deus you can't see thru these ambervision
while i try to check out more of ya'
god-given gift of loveliness, americaphrodite
i won't stop seein' that for weeks to come.
i must confess i saw your 1986's
cute colored lines so like my commodore 64
trouble is that you were only 3 then
shame shame on me for wanting to see more
i got carolina on my
i got carolina on my
i got carolina on my
i guess i confess it could have been the weather, girl
i know miss myra won't agree with me
there's just one thing i'd rather see you in than leather girl
and that would be my bed, yeah obviously
never thought that anti-goth was the way to win me over
but all i gotta do is think of you -- you, du, tu
thank you ms. donahue, now you'll be in here forever
see you on 8 and 8 at 8, so it's then we begin round ii
i got carolina on my mind
i got carolina on my mind
i got carolina on my mind... say, "fueo, fueo."
the place for fun, you'll see
green acres is the place for fun
the place for family
at green acres they sell hotdogs
zagnut and anti-freeze
the stunning selection of quality
will bring you to your knees
many times i've heard the tales of
minors trying to buy
virginia slims, capri, and style
but the cashier's evil eye...
look, there's jeff venendal
look, it's big anne whitney
there goes joey abell
green acres is the place to be. foreign pregnancy. kids in harmony.
once i spied upon a
violent traumatic act
the meek and i just froze
while the black boy smashed in his back. unprovoked attack.
look it's mandy quinlan
look it's mr. munley.
there goes danny miller
the cyclops mr. haley.
say hi, hi, hi to mr. forrest
i like kenny bailey
look, there's sean seremet...
he's got krone's disease!
jessie hartley, joseph krafty, mike delaney, 7.50, amy jeffries, davida dorsey, sam drury, joe curley, tommy harvey, steve mccrosky, travis raley, dan lotti, eric and anthony, lena hermle, jon darby, eddie crosby, sikorski, dalen roesjadi, sarah mattingly, paul mccartney, gavin mccarty, there's fun for you and me.

that winter comes around most every year
ain't nothing i'd rather have no___
than to have my baby right here
ain't nothin' to it but to do it, girl
that story's been told
just don't sit back and analyze
and it gets easier, tenfold
that's why i say love... is a decision.
baby you and i both know
saturday comes around most every week
and the feel of skin on skin love
ideal, so real, so chic
and when it comes to loving you, baby
analysis
girls, like guys, will radiate
and that's one thing i don't miss
that's why i say love... is a decision.
baby you and i both know
that 10:30 comes around most every night
and having you within arm's reach
is key, it's real, it's outta sight
i know the algorithm of love
is a complicated mess
just put your faith in the system
and everything will work out for the best
that's why i say love... is a decision
and run your fingers through your silken hair
outspoken figure so divine
exalting everything you wear
i often wonder how could i
look you over for so many a year
but a deaf boy doesn't cry
For what he couldn't ever hear
i follow you around, but you won't even see me
i know i'm visible but i'm trying hard to not be
i'll speak 1000 words, but you won't even hear me
so hard to tell you girl, just how lovely...
i sit around your house at night
i'd love to make you laugh, but it's hard when you don't know me
you couldn't know what lies inside
so hard to tell you girl, just how lovely
your eyes are distant much like mine
one day you'll realize that i was just pretending
cause when you glow girl you really shine
i'd love to say that you don't mesmerize but it isn't worth defending
i'll speak 1000 words, but you won't even hear me
i follow you around, but you won't even see me
i know i'm beautiful, but i'm trying hard to not be
so hard to tell you girl, just how lovely [you are to me]
it's a terrible thought that this soon may be over
because topside the mariner glides
on a gentle wave beneath the starry sky
tragedy in the pleasure dome
indestructible world that i once called my home
i can hold my breath and swim to the sky
but just staying alive doesn't simplify things
what makes the world turn? and the ebb and the tide of the world outside
well, the crack in the sky is lengthening fast
and the water drips down through the broken glass
mariner, off your starboard bow
while you're watching our world turn inside out
well there ain't much that you could do, old samuel never told you 'bout the two by twos...
it's dark above but when the sun shines bright
there'll be pieces of atlantis catching their first glimpse of sunlight
not too sure where we'll be then because the albatross has taken to another wind
makes me wonder what'd they do
down in pompeii when that mother blew
did they run? did they cry? did they even try?
slow down. what's the low down...
on tobacco brown?
it's time to take a stand, to reprimand
the people in command.
this time we raise our hands, across the land
'cause they don't understand
that bad blood is boiling, it's soiling
the face between our boys.
it's time to make some noise, to raise your voice,
you have no choice.
yeah!!
this day we leave behind, and re-consign
this earthen satellite.
no time for humankind to realign
this misdirected fight.
it's time to deviate, to relocate,
and soar to greater heights.
this time we see the light, we take to flight.
we have that right...
yeah!!!
slow down. what's the low down...
on tobacco brown?
touchdown a thousand years, a million tears
from which we once called home
i hear the atmosphere of yesteryear
is lush inside this dome
for that we appreciate, procreate
and breed our parallel
this time if they return, what have you learned??
