Dance Hall Crashers Album

Lost again. Somebody tell me how to get there.
'Cause I can't take another hand shake or another blank stare.
Thought I knew what I had to do to get through to you.
Guess your head is thicker than I thought.
You know I am starting to think that it might be you.
'Cause I know you've got a lot of things and people you look to.
Do you believe that I never see what you're doing to me?
I'll keep smiling till the door closes behind me.

I know where I wanna go,
But I just don't know, no I just don't know how to get there.
I know where I wanna go,
But I just don't know, no I just don't know how to get there.

Lost again. Somebody tell me how to get there.
If I hit another detour,
I'm afraid that I won't care.
Who'd have thought that I'd have bought the expectations?
That gold road probably just leads straight to hell.
And once I'm there are you gonna care,
Or conveniently look away?
I don't think I want us to fall off and die that way.
Do you believe that I never see what you're doing to me?
I'll keep smiling till the door closes behind me.

I know where I wanna go,
But I just don't know, no I just don't know how to get there.
I know where I wanna go,
But I just don't know, no I just don't know how to get there.

I know where I wanna go,
But I just don't know, no I just don't know how to get there.
I know where I wanna go,
But I just don't know, no I just don't know how to get there'

Do you (do you)?
Do you (do you)?
Do you (do you)?
Do you (do you)?
Do you (do you)?
Do you (do you)?
Do you (do you)?
Do you....tell me if you do!

Is it ever gonna come?
I want to believe but I can't really see
'Cause I'm afraid to even lift my head up
If I look for you are you gonna be gone?
I want to jump ahead and just run,
So it'll be done, I'm stuck - I can't get up
I want to but I can't stop the chase
Want to win the race, I know - it's all a show.

And you promise me, you keep telling me, 'tomorrow is close,' but will it ever come?
And you promise me, you keep telling me, 'tomorrow is close,' but will it ever come?

I never thought it'd be more than this
But you promised me and unfortunately I bought it completely.
Although after I wake up I'm sure that I'll know
That today was just the rest of my life.
I'm not gonna die sitting there hoping that I can someday come and claim the ring
It's not anything, I know or want to become.

And you promise me, you keep telling me, 'tomorrow is close,' but will it ever come?
And you promise me, you keep telling me, 'tomorrow is close,' but will it ever come?
Will tomorrow ever come?
Will tomorrow ever come?
Will tomorrow come?
I just want to know;
Will I be happy tomorrow?
Will I be happy tomorrow?
Will I be happy tomorrow?

I want to know if I've got a reason to keep hanging on when I want to let go.
I want to know if you actually mean it or is it just part of a much bigger show.
'Cause I'm not gonna just lay down while I slowly drown
I never agreed to that.
And I'm not gonna hold my breath,
Till there's nothing left; I'd start laughing anyway.

And you promise me, you keep telling me, 'tomorrow is close,' but will it ever come? And you promise me, you keep telling me, 'tomorrow is close,' but will it ever come?
Will tomorrow ever come?
Will tomorrow ever come?
Will tomorrow come?
I just want to know;
Will I be happy tomorrow?
Will I be happy tomorrow?
Will I be happy tomorrow?

You're the one I've been waiting on.
What took you, what took you so long?
Id just about given up on this, oh yeah, oh yeah
Don't you wish that you could go and forget about me?
But that, but that'd be too easy.
Don't you know that you're all mine?
Mine, until, til the end of time.
Because now I've got you and I never wanna let you go.
You can try to run just remember that I told you so.

I look at you and I see myself;
Oh boy, boy do you need help.
Coz your mind's as twisted as mine.
Never thought, never thought I'd find
Any man that could get me to bite at least every,
At least every night
So I'm afraid you're stuck with me,
Hope that makes you, hope that makes you happy
Because now I've got you and I'm never gonna let you go.
You can try to run just remember that I told you so.

You're the one I've been waiting on.
What took you, what took you so long?
Id just about given up on this, oh yeah, oh yeah
Don't you wish that you could go and forget about me?
But that but that'd be too easy.
Better be ready to be all mine,
Mine until, til the end of, mine until the end of time.
Because now I've got you and I'm never gonna let you go.
You can try to run just remember that I told you so.

Gonna keep you, gonna keep you for myself.
Gonna keep you, gonna keep you for myself.
Gonna keep you, gonna keep you for myself.
(repeat to fade)

Give yourself a little competition
I can see it flarin' up in your eyes.
Give yourself a moment to remember
All the trailing looses ends you've left behind.
And I keep on a wondering
How the odds around you are kept so high.
And give yourself a little competition
It's the only thing that'll get you by.

Keep the wound salted,
It's what you've always wanted.
Keep the wound salted'

Suddenly I've lost communication
And you swear that it's all a mistake.
But you must really like the situation
Coz the clean break you wanted is now in your face.
She looked at you, then at the room,
Then at the state she's been living in.
But suddenly I reel in to position
It's the news you held so highly paid.

Keep the wound salted,
It's what you've always wanted.
Keep the wound salted'
Just say goodbye, don't look back'whoa!

Give us all a little more emotion
We can see it wellin' up in your eyes
We can see your ferns getting thicker
As you're showing the signs of compromise
But don't go running back when you realize that
Nobody's buying into your lies.
And give yourself a little more opinion
Coz we know you'll never choose to rectify.

Keep the wound salted,
It's what you've always wanted.
Keep the wound salted'
Just say goodbye, don't look back!

Tryin' to pretend that you are comfortable,
I guess I know you better than you think.
Tryin' to pretend that you are far away,
I guess I better buy you a stiff drink.
How could you try to forget what we wanted?
Better not tell anyone it was bad.
Sorry I can't get any farther away,
You better deal coz'

I'm gonna stay next to you,
I never wanted to but now that I'm next to you
I just can't help myself being next to you
There isn't anyone else that I would rather do.

Tryin' to pretend that you don't get a small chill
Every single time that I pass you
Tryin' to pretend that you don't want a big thrill
Even half as much as I know you do.
Honey you couldn't forget what you wanted
Even though it ended so awfully bad
I'm sure the second round won't end the same way,
You better hope coz'

I'm gonna stay next to you,
I never wanted to but now that I'm next to you
I just can't help myself being next to you
There isn't anyone else that I would rather do.

Tryin' to pretend that you are comfortable,
I guess I know you better than you think.
Tryin' to pretend that you are far away,
I guess I better buy you a stiff drink.
Don't think of running away, coz I'll catch you
And make you sorrier than you ever knew
I know I've lost it I don't care so anyway.
You better deal coz'

I'm gonna stay next to you,
I never wanted to but now that I'm next to you
I just can't help myself being next to you
There isn't anyone else that I would rather do.
Next to you'
Next to you'
Next to you'
Next to you.

Like to believe there's something more out there
Like to believe that i'm not the only one
Who looks around and feels overcome
So much to do, too many choices
Which one will be the road that becomes my own
Should I act or should I take it slow

Cause when the nagging feeling takes hold
I have to leave it alone
Well i'm anxious and restless
I guess that's what it's like to be young
Well i'm anxious and restless
I guess that's what it's like to be young

Sweet little girl dreamed of the day when
She'd stand up tall and tell the whole world her plan
Her voice will shine as she takes command
Now she'll be heard, she's got the forum
It has arrived, this moment is here for her
But she finds it doesn't matter

Well she's got nothing to say now that this day has come
Well i'm speechless and tongue tied
I guess that's what it's like to be young
Well i'm speechless and tongue tied
I guess that's what it's like to be young

Living day by day
Gets harder to face
When all the questions
Drive you insane
Pick one up, throw it into the sky
I want to feel free and have fun
Cause that's what it really means to be young

I bring it on and drive myself crazy
I want it all and then I want no one's help
I need to make it by myself
And if I achieve what I think I wanted
Will I recieve a medal of hapiness
Will it make my confusion less

Cause when the nagging feeling takes hold
I have to leave it alone
Well i'm anxious and restless
I guess that's what it's like to be young
Well i'm anxious and restless
I guess that's what it's like to be young

When you walked by I saw a small tear in your eye
Lifted you up and threw you into the sun
When you returned, you were a little burned
But you learned the secret of it all
And you thought that you would burn
But that'd be too easy
It was only the end of the beginning
Cause now it can be Elvis and me

I thought you knew what it was that I had to do
Never occurred that you would just roll over
I had to go, not very long though you know
Guess for you it was an eternity
And if you think you've got it now
Go start your crying
It's gonna be different when i'm home
Cause it's gonna be Elvis and me

It's gonna be Elvis and me
Just Elvis and me
Just Elvis and me

So if you think you've got it now
Go start your crying
It's gonna be different when i'm home
Cause it's gonna be Elvis and me

I wish I could fix it so that you understood
If I cracked my head it would bleed like mercury
The pieces of the poison raining above
Won't touch you now
I'll never let it again
So if you think you've got it now
Continue your crying
It's gonna be different when i'm home
Cause it's gonna be Elvis and me
It's just Elvis and me
It's always been Elvis and me
Just Elvis and me

In the backroom of the bar, crusty fingernails I saw him
Everything was hidden by all the greasy hair he was in
Never looking up, he seemed so sad I tried to offer him
My shot of whiskey but he said I only drink gin

We sat there quietly purposely ignoring the room
He smiled wistfully, his shirt was dirty and torn
Everlasting glances left open ended chances
But he stole my heart when he ordered a double for me

In the back room of the bar
In the back room of the bar
We made a great couple me and him
Cause I drink whiskey but he only ever drinks gin
Well that's the way it is with him

Went to the ladies room, when I returned to my chair
His hands were in my bag, red handed guilt everywhere
Took out a photo of an old Romeo
Threw it over his shoulder and rested his hand on my knee

We played these games where we go through the whole alphabet
He'd have an Adam and Eve and I had a Dixie Julep
Went through an Artillery, Caruso, and a Diamond Fizz
Fallen Angel, Green Dragon, ending with a kiss in the dark

In the back room of the bar
In the back room of the bar
We made a great couple me and him
Cause I drink whiskey but he only ever drinks gin

Last call came right at once, glasses were empty and dry
We got our second wind but all we had was a dime
Didn't even seem to care, the bartender unaware
We jumped overthe counter, took off with our hands full of booze

In the back room of the bar
In the back room of the bar
We made a great couple me and him
Cause I drink whiskey but he only ever drinks gin [x2]

If you could would you go and lock the door?
If you could would you crawl along the floor?
Would you give in to what I know you want?
Or will you leave alone tonight?
If I asked would you wanna walk me home?
Would I be safer if I was alone?
I wish I could tell you what I want from you;
I would if I knew

I want you more, more than I ever thought I would.
I want you more, more than I ever should.

On the days when you act like you don't care,
Well I know you do, so wipe that icy stare off your face.
I know it's all a game with you,
What else can you do?
Do you know that I think of you in bed?
And that sometimes I wish you were dead?
I'd be better off if you were gone
But will it ever really be done?

I want you more, more than I ever thought I would.
I want you more, more than I ever should.

Do you think that you'll ever walk away?
It might make it easier that way.
Well go on I dare you try to walk away
And think about this today.
Have you got it clearly in your mind?
Get it straight because you're gonna find
That by the time you turn around its too late
And I won't be found.

I want you more, more than I ever thought I would.
I want you more, more than I ever should.
I want you more, more than I ever thought I would.
I want you more, more than I ever, more than I ever should.

ill try killin you with kindness
forget the mindless things i might have said
and i wont try to catch you or stop you
from doing what you think is right

its got to be hard
when the rest of the worlds gone crazy around you

but i dont want to live like that
under your thumb
behind your back

from routine to obscene
and i know that your just like me

and go do what you wnat
and ill try hard to be more understanding

but i dont want to live like that
under your thumb
behind your back
i just wanna be there to see the last laugh

You've had all the breaks
Learning from your mom's mistakes
Eating off your daddy's plate
Spending all your wasted taste
You can't see past your gate
Once I saw you dip your toe
Past the line at the end of the road
But frightened you came running home

Oh quit your whining
It's so boring
Play the victim and
Keep me yawning
How do you expect me to believe the scene that you're describing

You've had all the luck
They fought it out for you
Without them you'd be stuck
They held your hand to walk through
Don't forget you're bored
And that's your only problem
Times for you ain't tough
Try showing them some gratitude

Oh quit your whining
It's so boring
Play the victim and
Keep me yawning
How do you expect me to believe the scene that you're describing

Hey there Mr Blue
I'm hurting just by listening to what you've been through
Poor baby, or what did they do to you
Whoa poor old Mr. Blue

Inside your white fence
The glass house you've created
Things are getting tense
Don't feel appreciated
Glance out of your window
It looks like sun to me
But you just count the clouds
Sigh and beg for sympathy

Oh quit your whining
It's so boring
Play the victim and
Keep me yawning
How do you expect me to believe the scene that you're describing

Hey there Mr Blue
I'm hurting just by listening to what you've been through
Poor baby, oh what did they do to you
Whoa poor old Mr Blue

You could sit there forever
Blaming others but never
Allowing things to get better
I keep trying
Maybe I should just give up

Hey there Mr Blue
I'm hurting just by listening to what you've been through
Poor baby, oh what did they do to you
Whoa poor old Mr. Blue

Oh quit your whining
It's so boring
Play the victim and
Keep me yawning
How do you expect me to believe the scene that you're describing

Hey there Mr Blue
I'm hurting just by listening to what you've been through
Poor baby, oh what did they do to you
Whoa poor old Mr Blue

Jot down the words you wanna say
Make sure they don't conflict with mine in any way
Make them sound good
Remember the laws that apply
I gave you a buck it's my right to decide

Pretend your life is squeaky clean
Pure as the virgin you think your daughter is
She laughs in your face
As you bring your speech to a close
But she's doing it under your nose

I don't care who you wanna pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
Just stick to you own life

You used to wear your pretty clothes
Now that the scruff is in, you're left with what you used to know
But here comes your rules
The fashion police are in
And suddenly your politics are changing again

Idolize and criticize
Push them in the right direction to paradise
Praise them with guilt
Distinguish the weak from the strong
But knowing that we end up the same in the long run

I don't care who you wanna pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
Just stick to you own life

The position you have may be lost

I don't care who you wanna pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
Just stick to you own life

I don't care who you wanna pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
Just stick to you own life

I'd really rather be alone
I'd really rather be on my own
What part of no don't you understand
Won't you just let go of my hand
Maybe it's just time you knew the truth

Don't think I'm coming off as rude
I really like the solitude
My company suits me just fine
In face I think it's quite divine
Maybe it's just time you knew the truth

Hey-I love to hear myself talk
I'm my own favorite audience
Cause I'm the funniest person I know
If you were me I'm sure you'd agree

I know you claim I'm being vague
But i'm afraid it's not that way
You can come over - don't stay long
Call me next week cause I'll be gone
Maybe it's just time you knew the truth

Hey-I love to hear myself talk
I'm my own favorite audience
Cause I'm the funniest person I know
If you were me I'm sure you'd agree

I'm building up my barricade
I'd rather if you don't invade
I'm sick of all this obligation
Do you really need more explanation
Maybe this time you will finally see that

Hey-I love to hear myself talk
I'm my own favorite audience
Cause I'm the funniest person I know
If you were me I'm sure you'd agree

Tell me about what you think today
What are you doing
What do you want to say
Tell me about what's been going on
Where have you been - thought you were gone
Tell me what you can't tell me about
I wont listen but i'll tell them all anyhow
Tell me what you really want to say
I don't care - I'll ask anyway

What do you think about what they all did
Say something bad
What do you really want to admit
You can tell me I wont say a word
Trust me - I wont tell the world
Won't tell them what you did last night
Won't tell them why you started that really big fight
Or why you ran out that time
It's none of my business, but i'm gonna make it mine

You keep talking
And i'll keep listening
But really it's the same - it's the same old story

Tell me about how it all went wrong
Who do you blame
Who from your world is gone
You know i've been through it too
It's off the record I promise you
So tell me all of the private things
What don't I know
Tell me who gave you that ring
What about your private line
Won't give it out - at least not this time

You keep talking
And i'll keep listening
But really it's the same - it's the same old story

I don't care what you want me to say
You're gonna write
What you want to anyway
Why are you wasting time on me
Just write what you want me to be
Cause don't care what you want me to say
It's the same old story
Who's gonna care anyway
Promise me you wont ask about
Being a girl in the rock world

Stopped taking pictures long ago
Will probably be there tomorrow
I guess I'm having fun, I don't know
It's hard to tell anymore
Don't panic from the static in the air it's not there;
It's just a subtle form of insanity
Nobody ever want us that our heads had start to rot
As we see everything with meaning

Can't stand, no more, it's never ending.
Can't stand, anymore, let's go do it over again (repeat)

Late night TV is such a bore
Feels like I've seen this all before
Don't know if I can take anymore
I think my mind is going
Nothings funny but my smiles glued on
I don't bother taking it off at night
Nobody ever want me, then my head will start to rot,
Where's a poltergeist when you need it?

Can't stand, no more, it's never ending.
Can't stand, anymore, let's go do it over again (repeat)
(Repeat)

I'm gonna go lay down in front of the tyres
Please go and get some chicken wire
Tie me up in case I change my mind
Trust me you'll join me in time
As much as you think that I'm being too dramatic,
You'll be the only one here in static
You know I'm joking but then again at least it couldn't
Happen all over again

Can't stand, no more, it's never ending
Can't stand, anymore, let's go do it over again (repeat)

Love you, mean it, but it's never ending
Love you, may mean it, let's go do it over again (repeat)
