You walked out when I asked you to stay
As usual you'll get your way
You closed the door and stumbled down to the street
Where you wring your hands
And you drag your feet

Where the words can't find you
Lost inside you

I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful you don't hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning

But you can't hide standing under these stars
They know everything they know where you are
You're in your hair you're all turned around with it
And they're shining down their light to bring you back again

Back where I can find you
To crawl inside you

I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning

All you want to see is make believe, it's nothing
But way down underneath

I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful you don't hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell
Careful, you'll hurt yourself
Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning

. . .


Say goodbye.
Lose your friends.
Make them go.
Don't need them around.
Cause it's time.
Lose your friends
Make them go.
Was never supposed to be like this.
They were too weak.
Too prone to break.
Their needs too deep.
Their skin too thin.
By now you took what was to take.
Tear it apart and start again.

So go on,
If this will make you happier.
It got you this far.
Did what you had to.

You've wasted every moment
Of your Saturdays
And your Sundays.
You're wasted from the boredom.
Was never supposed to be
Like your father said,
"Just do what was done unto you, always."
In your father's steps,
You'll do what was done unto you.
It won't be hard to start again.

So go on,
If this will make you happier.
It got you this far.
Do what you have to.

And you're gone now.
(Well you knew this would come)
(And you've left me alone)
And did it make you happier?
(And you're lost and you're gone)
(Don't take it so seriously)
It wasn't that hard.
(Go on, get going)
(I'm fine on my own)
Did what you had to.
(And we got me this far)
(Finally got it figured out)

One more inch,
You son of a bitch.
You've been wasting my time, always.
And now you're half awake.
You bend 'til you break.
And make the same mistakes, always.

So go on,
If this will make you happier.
It got you this far.
Do what you have to.

And you're gone now.
(Well you knew this would come)
(And you've left me alone)
And did it make you happier?
(And you're lost and you're gone)
(Don't take it so seriously)
It wasn't that hard.
(Go on, get going)
(I'm fine on my own)
Did what you had to.
(And we got me this far)
(Finally got it figured out)

doesn't it bring you down
so many lights and sounds
call your mom on the telephone
tell her you're coming home

tell her there's not a chance
you're ever going to change the world

if you want to be free take a sip of this tea
join the red oyster cult
if you drink the whole cup you will never grow up
you will never grow old

remember when you were 14
you'd paint ever picture so green
call your mom on the telephone
tell her your muse is gone

tell her there's not a chance
you're ever going to change the world
just a few drops away you'll never want to
change the world

if you want to be free take a sip of this tea
join the red oyster cult
if you drink the whole cup you will never grow up
you will never grow old

call your mom on the telphone
tell her you're coming home
tell her there's not a chance you're ever
going to change
the world
just a few drops away
you'll never have to change

. . .


Ramona where have you been?
I couldn't go to sleep 'til you came in
Ramona you're Miss Oklahoma and you
Miss Oklahoma
I'll get you what you want

Cause there were days when a refrain
Would brighten our corner of Hickory Lane
When you would sing that song for me
Just like your favorite singer

Why'd you have to be so nice?
A wink and a girlie smile
And why'd you have to punch my eye?
That was something
But did you want me to stay?

When I was younger and thought of myself
I never dreamed I'd become like this
A snap of your fingers an end to the arguments
Anything for you, love

Cause there were days when a refrain
Would brighten our corner of Hickory Lane
When you would sing that song for me
The only one you know
But I know now, not at the start
We're going to pieces we're falling apart
So come and sing that song for me
Just like your favorite singer?

. . .


i know a movie star, i've got her plastered to my wall
just like we're dear old friends, like she already knows me
she's perfect as she seems, lifts me right out the Mezanine
i finally fell in love, i've been waiting forever
4 3 2 1 went out the barrel of the gun
keep my head way down
stay out or stay in
half dead and half numb
she's enough to make me warm
it's all so safe and sound
lie back and fast asleep, if you could see what i could see,
drip, drop a lovely dream,
God damn you movie star, can't you just play a minute more
we'd be the best of friends, you could stay here forever
4 3 2 1 went out the barrel of a gun
keep my head way down
stay out or stay in
half dead and half numb
she's enough to make me warm
it's all so safe and sound
she will be sweet on me, just like a mystery
its not so hard to see, if im not mistaken
she comes from far away(far away), and gets closer every day(every day)
and all that i can say is that she's all i want and all that i live for
4 3 2 1 went out the barrel of a gun
keep my head way down
stay out or stay in
half dead and half numb
she's enough to make me warm
it's all so safe and sound

Here we stand
Like an Adam and an Eve
Waterfalls
The Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
The birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them
From the age of the dinosaurs
Cars have run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?
Now, it's nothing but flowers

There was a factory
Now there are mountains and rivers
you got it, you got it

We caught a rattlesnake
Now we got something for dinner
we got it, we got it

There was a shopping mall
Now it's all covered with flowers
you've got it, you've got it

If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower
you've got it, you've got it

Years ago
I was an angry young man
I'd pretend
That I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With a beautiful highway
This used to be real estate
Now it's only fields and trees
Where, where is the town
Now, it's nothing but flowers
The highways and cars
Were sacrificed for agriculture
I thought that we'd start over
But I guess I was wrong

Once there were parking lots
Now it's a peaceful oasis
you got it, you got it

This was a Pizza Hut
Now it's all covered with daisies
you got it, you got it

I miss the honky tonks,
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
you got it, you got it

And as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention
you got it, you got it

I dream of cherry pies,
Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies
you got it, you got it

We used to microwave
Now we just eat nuts and berries
you got it, you got it

This was a discount store,
Now it's turned into a cornfield
you got it, you got it

Don't leave me stranded here
I can't get used to this lifestyle

. . .


Dorothy moves to click her ruby shoes
Right in tune with "Dark Side of the Moon"
Someone, someone could tell me
Where I belong
Be calm, be brave, it'll be okay

No more messing around and living underground
On new year's resolutions
By this time next year, I won't be here after long
I turn on, turn on MTV, the volume's down
Lips move, they say
It'll be okay

To tell you the truth, I've said it before
Tomorrow I start in a new direction
One last time these words from me
I'm never saying them again
And I shut the light
And listen as my watch unwinds

To tell you the truth I've said it before
Tomorrow I start in a new direction
I know I've been half-asleep
I'm never doing that again

I look straight at what's coming ahead
And soon it's going to change in a new direction
Every night as I'm falling asleep
These words repeated in my head

Voices calling from a yellow road
To come downstairs and say hello
Don't be shy, just say hello

To tell you the truth I've said it before
Tomorrow I start in a new direction
I know I've been half-asleep
I'm never doing that again

I look straight at what's coming ahead
And soon it's going to change in a new direction
Every night as I'm falling asleep
Those words repeated in my head

. . .


My words confuse you
My eyes don't move or blink
'Cause it's easier sometimes
Not to be sincere
Somehow I make you believe

Believe

When I speak I cross my fingers
Will you know you've been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon
A demon cannot be hurt

Honest is easy
Fiction's where genius lies
'Cause it's easier sometimes
Not to be involved
Somehow I make you believe
Believe

When I speak I cross my fingers
Will you know you've been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon
A demon cannot be hurt

When I speak I cross my fingers
Will you know you've been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon
A demon cannot be hurt

. . .


Throw away your greatest hits
You left them here the day you split
Your bass guitar and shag CD
Well, they don't mean that much to me
Right now I'm going through your things
These days, I'm changing all my strings

I'm gonna write you letter
I'm gonna write you a book
I want to see your reaction
I want to see how it looks
From way up on your cloud
Where you've been hiding out
Are you getting somewhere?
Or did you get lost in Amsterdam?

You won't get too far from me
Believing everything you read
Wasted in the great unknown
And I am finally ready to dispose
Of all your vintage clothes
Your drugs and every secret code

I'm gonna write you letter
I'm gonna write you a book
I want to see your reaction
I want to see how it looks
From way up on your cloud
Where you've been hiding out
Are you getting somewhere?
Or did you get lost in Amsterdam?

From your red balloon, you were
A super high tech jet fighter
Floating over Planet Earth
Come back down here, I'll show you where it hurts
Take this bitter pill
Is it easy to swallow?

I'm gonna write you letter
I'm gonna write you a book
I want to see your reaction
I want to see how it looks
From way up on your cloud
Never coming down
And are you getting somewhere
Or did you get lost in Amsterdam, Amsterdam?

. . .


We went down to the May parade
Mumbled words under my breath
There is something I've been meaning to do
I am dying to tell you

I've been so damned tired

It went down at the May parade
Bitter words under my breath
There is something I've been dying to do
I was meaning to tell you

I've been so damned sad
'Cause I spy something bad

You don't know how far you've gone
Or recognize who you've become
How'd you grow to be so hard
Sick of playing my part

We went down at the May parade
Alcohol under my breath
There is something I've been meaning to do
I am dying to tell you

I've been so damned sad
'Cause I spy something bad

You dont know how far you've gone
Or recognize who you've become
How'd you grow to be so hard
Sick of playing my part

. . .


Glad you made it, welcome to the farm
Who's your daddy, I'm your daddy now
I came here seeking only what I need
In your mind is where I'll plant my seed
It's for sure.

Let me keep you in this place you'll be better off this way
I will keep you warm and safe, you'll be better off this way
You learn to love the price you pay
Trust me dear you're better off this way

Put to bed the sun and sister moon
I'll be hiding in your dirty room
I'll go there seeking only what I need
La de da we'll stay there till we bleed
It's for sure

Let me keep you in this place, you'll be better off this way
I will keep you warm and safe, you'll be better off this way
I will not wake you from your sleep,
Leave you wandering counting sheep
No more sad and sunshine days
Trust me dear, you're better off this way

You'll be selling books at the airport.

. . .


on your way to the best years of your life
everyone's banging on their gongs
the sooner you leave the sooner you're home
back in massachusetts
to your golden age where they tuck you in at night

you didn't see it coming
now who you gonna wave to?
this time you're not homecoming king

did you hear that? have you heard that sound before?
do you even know where it is coming from?
it's getting too loud it keeps on pushing you out
into the arms of 1994

you didn't see it coming
now who you gonna wave to?
you're not homecoming king

you stand on your own
wasn't what you hoped at all
do you still recall it
giving dead-arms in the hall?
stay right where you are
you'll be half of who you were
when you always would win
so count the days 'til you give in

back to massachusetts
to your golden age where your crown is shining bright

you didn't see it coming
now who you gonna wave to?
this time you're not homecoming king

did you see it coming
now who you gonna wave to?
this time you're not homecoming king

. . .


when you look in the mirror, wish you were somebody else
just a perfect reflection, you and no one else
minutes run into hours, hours run into days
you're still waiting for someone who never ever came
fa fa-fa fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
never be the same again
fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
never be the same again
you were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
you were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
never be the same again
fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
never be the same again
go run through the hallways, find your way to the door
you will end up like always back where you were before
then you look in the mirror, wish you were somebody else
but it's still your reflection, you and no one else
you were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
you were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
never be the same again
fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
never be the same again
No matter where you go, you'll never find your way home
you'll never find your way home, no matter where you go
you were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
you were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
never be the same again
fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
never be the same again
