1975

Brawling scratches mean a bad hair day
Go on and press your face
All up against the glass
Watch and wonder as the pretty things spin and burn
Swing and missing all
Almost every time
Yeah, almost every time

Brawling scratches mean a bad hair day
Go on and press your face
All up against the glass
Watch and wonder as the pretty things spin and burn
Swing and missing all
Almost every time

I'm not alive, 1975
I'd spend my time wasted, dull, damaged, and blind
I'm not alive, 1975
Yeah, 1975

I see scratches and the idiot kids
I watched them getting high
Out in the cold blue sky
Watch and wonder as the asphalt babies burned
Dancing in the flame, laughing all of the while

I'm not alive, 1975
I'd spend my time wasted, dull, damaged, and blind
I'm not alive, 1975

Watch and wonder as they fade away...
Dull, damaged, and blind...
Sounds a lot like me
Dull, damaged, and blind...
Sounds a lot like me
Dull, damaged, and blind...
Yeah, almost all of the time
Dull, damaged, and blind...
Whoa, 1975

I 'm not alive, 1975
I was not alive, 1975
I'd spend all my time wasted dull, damaged, and blind
1975
Watch and wonder as they fade away...

Annabella's Song

See you roll your eyes
You know it makes me smile
Yes you are like the sun to me
All bright as liquid fire
I feel so powerless
Hold you up above the world
Yeah you are quite a lot of trouble
For such a pretty little girl

I know I'm never home
I'm always miles and miles away
Here I'm runnin' out of time
Say the things I need to say
I call you on the phone
You will not talk to me
Yeah you just don't understand
You are my everything

Anna, Anna
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Anna, Anna
You are never alone...
I like to watch you play
When you don't know I'm there
I watch you in your sleep at night
Reach out and touch your hair
I wanna make this world
Be just how you want it to be
Yeah you just don't understand
You are everything to me

Anna, Anna
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Anna, Anna
You are never alone...

You are a loser just like I was
You are a loser like the rest of your friends
You're a loser in the worst way
I think you're losing just to make up

Yeah I've seen the light
All around your face

I see you dying in the highway
I see you climbing up the hill
I see your sunshine on your blonde hair
I see you worshipping the thrill

Yeah I've seen the light
All around your face
Yeah I've seen the light
Shine in your eyes
Yeah I've seen the light
Light from another place
Now I know its not real
Yes I know it's not real...
Yes I know it's not

Yeah I've seen the light
All around your face
Yeah I've seen the light
Shine in your eyes
Yeah I've seen the light
From another place
Now I know it's not real...

Deep In, Empty Out

Yeah I hear the hum in my ear
It keeps me awake sometimes
I can deal with most everything
I'm out of my mind when you're out of my sight

I would give everything
Deep in and empty out
I would give everything you want
Everything you need

Why can't you talk to me
I hear your voice everywhere else
Oh, why do you have to be sloppy drunk
Just to say I am your friend

I'd give you everything
Yeah, I'm deep in and empty out
Oh, I would give everything you want
Everything you need
Everything means nothing to me

I remember now
You, not me
I remember now
You fail
Yeah, I remember now
You, not me
I remember everything, everything
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
I remember everything, everything
I remember everything

I would give everything
Yeah, deep in and empty out
I would give everything you want
Anything to you
Everything means nothing
Yeah, everything means nothing
Yeah, everything means nothing to me
It's true
My everything means nothing to you
It's true

Detroit

I am dreaming of a Michigan girlfriend
All bright-eyed and happy in pain
I am dreaming of a Michigan girl
See her come around

Fall down, break & scatter everywhere...

I close my eyes and I can see her waiting I am pleading for a Michigan dream girl
I am pleading for a Michigan girl
See her come around

Big lie wrapped inside her little glove...

I close my eyes and I can see her waiting patient for me
I cover my ears
I clear my mind
She starts to fade...
(I am dreaming of a Michigan girlfriend)
She's starting to fade...
(I am dreaming of a Michigan girl)

I close my eyes
I see her waiting oh so patient for me
I cover my ears
I close my mind
She's starting to fade

Drunk Again

Kathy please just go away
Don't let Hazel see you when you're high
Just take a walk to your sleazy bar
Come back after I put her down

Cross the street
On your knees
Makes me ashamed
It's hard to sleep
I can't shake your pain
You get high, you'd just throw it away

Hey Kathy please give me a break
I told you not to come here when you're drunk again
I'm sober now just 30 days
All alone and working hard to stay that way

Cross the street
On your knees
Makes it hard
It's hard to see
I can't shake your pain
You get high, you'd just throw it away

Kathy please, yeah yeah
I don't want to see you when you're down
Just leave me be and go away
You're not going to pull me down
I won't let you throw it away

For Pete's Sake

We had a mutual friend and he said
You've been talking again
I'm not responsible for your life falling apart
I'm not responsible

You and me could have been the best friends
That we'd never had
You've done everything that you could to damage me, damage me
I'm walking away
I'm closing my eyes
I'm letting it go, letting it go
Hey I'm telling you now
I'm drawing the line
Don't say it again
Just keep it inside
It happened to me, in love with the same girl
Nobody's fault, yeah nobody's fault
Hey maybe for the first time act like a grown man
Yeah keep it in...

You and me could have been the best friends
But we'd never had the best friends
I'm walking away, letting it go
I'm closing my eyes
I'm telling you now
I'm lonely again, just keep it inside
Hey, it happened to me, in love with the same girl
It happened to me, me over you
Hey maybe for the first time act like a grown man
Keep it in
Yeah keep it in...

Glorious

You were shining in a white light
Like a fairy tale movie star
I never really thought
I would find snow white
Drinking in a downtown bar

You were underneath a white light
Like a vision in deep dark place
I never really thought
I would fall for a country girl
With an angel's face
Everything fades away
The world changes every day
When I think about you
It makes me want to say

Glorious
Glorious
You are glorious

We were walking in the white sun
We were growing up and throwing down loud
There was silver in our eyes and we didnt know why
A power in the noise so proud

We were lost inside a long dark summer
We were running down a nowhere road
We were looking for a light in the middle of the night
A place that felt like home

I know everything fades away
The world changes every day
When I think about you....
And what we had
It makes me want to say

Glorious
You are to me
Glorious
Yes you are to me
Glorious
You are to me

I know this glorious life
Has never been all it seems
I was asleep
When I was living the dream

Living the dream
Living the dream
I know
I was living the dream

I think about that time in the city
We would run away and try to feel free
I could never believe
That you wanted to be with me
We would wait in the cold for that last bus home
I was sleeping with your arms around me

The truth was never what it seemed to be
I was living a lie
When I should have been living the dream

Glorious
I should have been living the dream
Glorious
I know
I should have been living the dream
Glorious
I know I never understood how much you mean to me
Now I know I was living the dream

Glorious
I know I was living the dream
Glorious
Yes I know I was living the dream
Glorious
I know
I know I was living the dream

I know This glorious life has never been what it seems to be
I was walking through life asleep
When I was living the dream

Happy

David has some issues now
He says he never is good enough
There is nothing that he wants to do
Nothing he does is ever good enough

He hears it from the girls that he likes
That nothing is good enough
He hears it loud when he tries sleep at night
That nothing is good enough

Nothing is good enough

(One, Two, Three)

Heather has a problem now
She thinks that nothing ever is good enough
She always tries to make everything right
Everything she tries is never good enough

She hears it from the girls that she likes
Nothing is good enough
Yeah she hears it loud when he tries sleep at night
That nothing is good enough

Nothing makes you happy
Nothing makes you live in a world without love
Nothing is the only thing that will never change
So nothing is good enough
Yeah nothing is good enough

I think I have some issues now
I really feel like nothing is good enough
No I have to keep it all from falling apart
Nothing that I have is ever good enough

I hear it from my wonderful wife
That nothing is good enough
Yeah I hear it loud when I try to sleep at night
That nothing is good enough

Nothing makes you happy
No nothing is like living in a world without sound
No nothing is the only thing that will not break
Nothing will never ever let you down
Nothing makes you happy
No nothing makes you live in a world without love
Nothing is the only thing that will never change
So nothing is good enough
No nothing is good enough
No nothing is good enough
No nothing is good enough

Happy Hour

Hey, makes me wonder,
Why I just let them slip away,
I'd trade my family and my friends,
For an endless happy hour
I know, sometimes I talk too much
Hey, have a drink with me,
And I will tell you what I think,
Yeah I know I look like I am just some drunk to you,
But I know who I was,
And I know who I am

Hey, Hey,
Hey makes me wonder,
How I just do it every time
Yeah, pushin', pullin',
Until they just slip and fade away

I still know who I am...

Hey, Hey, Hey,
Hey, have a drink with me,
And I will tell you when I'm done,
Yeah, trade my family and my friends
For an endless happy hour

I still know who I am...

Hateful

She is living far away from a lonely man in the San Francisco Bay
He is dreamin' hard of a girl all clad in bad plaid and mad at the whole world

All her friends they are blessed impressed intelligent and free
All of them are six feet tall, all of them are hateful to me

She sleeps alone and wet with her phone in her face all tied up in her old bed,
She walks alone everyday up and down the rainy streets in her own weird way,

All her friends they are blessed impressed intelligent and free
All of them are six feet tall, all of them are hateful to me
Hateful, yeah they're hateful to me...

Getting very hateful

I'm On Your Time

I'm on your time
Yeah you do that blue spark too
I do those half hearts
No one can push my buttons like you do
My weak arms can't hope to hold you
I'm on your time

Yeah I'm on your time
Yeah you really keep my quite amused
I say I wish you could just get over yourself
Yeah yeah you say we're in this for the abuse
I run wreckless, miles behind you
Baby you know I get so violent sometimes
My weak arms can't hope to hold you
I'm on your time

Yeah we will never forget
we will never forgive
we will never forget
we will never forget what we do to each other
we will never forgive
we will never forget
we will never forget
No, we will never forget

I'm on your time
You say we can't go on this way
I say I wish you could fix this broken thing in me
You say I'll be happy, I'll be dead
I run wreckless, miles behind you
Baby you know I get so fucked up inside
My weak arms can't hope to hold you
I'm on your time
Yeah yeah yeah I'm on your time
whoa oh whoa oh I'm on your time
No we will never forgive
We will never forget
We will never forget
We will never forget the things we do to each other
We will never forgive
We will never forget

Lame

Then they came on me
They dragged me from the bar
Still wet from sweat and beer
I bruise so prettily by men blinded by their fear
These men
Broke my back and made me lame

Then she said to me
I'd give you everything to make it like before
To make you love me like you used to
Make you love me more
She said to me
Your life is large but your mind is lame

I can't believe my eyes
When I see the truth and all the things I've done
And every place I'm queer
I never stay I run
I know now why I live in shame

Lame...

It's hard to sleep at night
I hardly ever sleep at night

Local God

You do that Romeo
Be what you wanna be
Look like you runnin' in place
Do that stupid dance for me
Do that Romeo
That go-go Romeo
I see you twist and turn
You look so stupid, happy, and numb

Be my Romeo
Please be my voice in this world
I can't sing the songs that you sing
I can't find the gorgeous words
Will you be my Romeo?
My go-go Romeo
I see you twist and turn you look so stupid

I feel just like a local god when I'm with the boys
We do what we want, yes we do what we want
I feel just like a local god when I'm with the boys
We do what we want, yeah we do what we want

Be my Romeo
Tell me all about your love
Tell me all about your pain
Baited breath and rubber gloves
Be my Romeo
My go-go Romeo
I see you twist and turn you look so fuckin' stupid

I feel just like a local god when I'm with the boys
We do what we want, yes we do what we want
Summer days can lead to the bad times
The world gets larger everyday
Yeah, yeah, the summer days can lead to the bad blood
That leaves me feelin' stupid, happy, and numb
Stupid, happy, and numb
I feel so stupid, happy and numb
Stupid, happy and numb
I feel so stupid...

I feel just like a local god when I'm with the boys
We do what we want, we do what we want

Sex With A Movie Star (The Good Witch Gone Bad)

Hollywood Girls need a pretty silver star
They can hide at the bottom of their break down.
Hollywood Girls need a secret
They can hide behind the buttons at the bottom of their purse
Hollywood Girls need a pretty silver star
They can hide in the distance and the make up
Hollywood Girls need a simple little lie
They can count on when they don't know which is worse

Everyone you meet is like the princess of the underground
Yeah everyone you meet is either kissing ass or going down

Hollywood Girls have those movie star eyes
They use when they lie about their boyfriends
Hollywood Girls have those innocent eyes
That they use when they lie about it all
Hollywood Girls do what ever they want
Without the knowledge that running out of good times.
Hollywood Girls do what ever they want
Without the knowledge they can never have it all

Make yourself a promise that you don’t intend to keep now
You can either workout with your trainer
Or just catch up with on some sleep
You can always find a classy way
To sell yourself cheap

True Love never will never mean a damn to me
I'm just lookin for a ride in a stolen car.
True Love is nothing it pretends to be
I'm just wanna have sex with a movie star

I don’t wanna think about tomorrow now
I don’t wanna think about to tomorrow
Your gonna make yourself some promises you don’t intent to keep.
You can either get yourself a facial
While you catch up on some sleep
You can buy yourself a new dress
When you need a new distraction
You can find yourself an actor
When you need some interaction

Oh I know those words don’t mean a damn to me
I wanna walk away when everything just falls apart
I know I just like everyone I meet
I just wanna have sex with a Movie Star

True Love will never mean a damn to me
I'm just looking for a ride in a stolen car
True Love is not what it pretends to be
I just want to have sex with a movie star

Sex Oh, I just wanna have sex
I just wanna have sex
I just wanna have fun
I don’t want to think about tomorrow
I don’t want to think about tomorrow now

The Swing

Never said I was innocent
I will burn in Hell for the things I've done to you
Never said I was anything good
I should die from the shame from what I put you through

Let me be the one to bring us back from the dead
I will take the blame for everything
You know I just wanna help you forget

We are still living on broken glass
We are still numb because it just keeps happening
All your friends, they can kiss my ass
They only see the simple things that they wanna see

Let me be the one to make the pain go away
Shave my skin and show a brand new face
You know I just wanna know that you're okay

You don't have to like it but the swing is in my hands now
Sometimes I think
The power is better than a hard drug
Sometimes I think
The power is better than anything
Sometimes I think
Letting go is just like giving up
Sometimes all I think I wanna do is die inside
All I wanna do is die inside
All I ever think about is you and me falling apart

Never said I was innocent
I will burn in Hell for the things I have done to you
Never said I was anything good
Na NA NA NA

Let me be the one to make the pain go away
Shave my skin and show a brand new face
You know I just wanna know that you're okay
Let me be the one to bring us back from the dead
I will take the blame for everything
I just wanna help you forget

Sometimes I think
Letting go is just like giving up
Sometimes all I think about is falling apart
