I can't remember what is wrong
I've been happy now for way too long
and oh, we got a lot more to go
I put a trash can by the road
and filled it up just to lighten my load
but oh, I got no where to go
someone alone fell asleep by the phone
waiting like a dog for a bone
how can it be that a fish in the sea
could feel like it's completely alone?
the world may never know
I know it hurt you, 'cause you cried
I know it killed you, but nobody died
and oh, the city ain't nothin but show
I found a needle in the hay
I found the sunshine at the end of the day
and oh, I found a pearl in the snow
someone alone fell asleep by the phone
waiting like a dog for a bone
how can it be that a fish in the sea
could feel like it's completely alone?
the world may never know

I recall the moment
Though I can't recall the day
Every other song to say
Okay
Wait because
Another lifetime of words
We'll be forgotten, burned
By the time you read this letter
Sing because
Oh, but the scent of your past
Will be forgotten, gone
By the time you reach the pretender
Oh, libraries of guilt
Will be razed and be burned
By the time you reach the pretender
If I'm not there
To remind ourselves
I'll send a friend
With a plan
I only wanted you to be happier
I only need you to let go
Wait because
Another lifetime of words
We'll be forgotten, burned
By the time you read this letter
All the scenes of our past
Sing because
Oh, but the scent of your past
Will be forgotten, gone
By the time you reach the pretender
Oh, libraries of guilt
Will be forgotten. burned
By the time you reach the pretender
The coffee's gone
And the rooster's rich
I only call if I could work
I only want you to be happier
I only need you to let go
We don't need the shelter
And we barely feel the rain
We've been soaked to all begins
Or complain
We don't need the money
And we barely need our names
I won't call the cause of comfort
Oh no, I'm not afraid
Ahhhh..
Ahhhh..
Ahhhh..

If you're dead make a sound
i can put my ear to the ground
and sing a long now
sing a long now
we were peas in a pod
gotta thank almighty god
that we're together
we're together
oh no...
oh no...
fell a glance in the air
you can see what's way up there
in the stars now
in the stars now
there's no reason or rhyme
that can keep up with the time
so run along now
run along now
oh no...
oh no...
oh no...
heartbreak it looks like a snake in the grass
oh no la la la la la
oh no
sweet dreams falling asleep at the wheel again
la la la la la oh no
oh no alright come on
ba da da da da da
ba da da da da da
yeah
yeah

It's an easy beat of nothing
And we don't need no guitars.
We can run and sing and wreak our cars.
Be careful of the judge inside
His gavel and his stand collide.
But he's only guilty of what's wrong.
Now you can take a feather and pull it from your hat.
You murder all the liars who say they're about to die.
Oh die, die, die, die.
You know that you'll die, die, die, die
I won't let you die, die, die
Oh.......
They tell you time and time again
It's now or never
But a bird flying out with the breeze
It's a damn good reason
For the change of season
We all lost our dog now
To the hunter and the fog now
Either it's asleep or it's lying
Well, there are many things that I would love to turn you on to
Underneath the sun, but we are cool
Oh, cool, cool, cool, cool
You know that we're cool, cool, cool
Oh.......
They tell you time and time again
It's now or never
But a bird flying out with the breeze
It's a damn good reason
For the change of season
Just take what you can
Like a chicken in the pan
You're bound to drop it
Just doing what you can
. . .

Oh, in the cornfield beneath
Hangman Street
Is a rock with some initials
And beneath it is me
I need all your forgiveness and most of your love
You see, the hangman
You saw hanging
That wasn't who I was
But nobody noticed
Nobody cared but me
Well, I knew she'd been unfaithful
But he knew she had to pay
So I grew to be more like him
With each passing of each day
But I slipped out on some side road
I thought things I'd never dared
So I went to a toolshed
Put shlack in my hand
Oh, but nobody noticed
Nobody cared but me
Oh, oh, ohhh..
Well, I came to touch Dutchman Falls
With my hatchet and my dog
Well, she must have raised her hands
I must have cut her down like cake
And you know the man I was
He left me long enough
Was sad enough to say
Now we were a virtue
In pride and murder sin
I have no need for redemption
I had no need for you
. . .

if i told you all my secrets they'd be lies
if i die a happy man, it's 'cuz i finally learned to die
i've lived a fool's life, i've lived a fool's life
now i'm dying
wanted you to turn and walk back in
oh, they have come here by mistake
but i'll take what i can take
i've lived a fool's life, i've lived a fool's life, baby
and now i'm dying
would you say dark has sunlight?
(sun in dark and light)
have i ever done anything right?
i ought to kill me
(i haven't got the right)
and do you mind if we come along?
(i wouldn't mind at all)
would you please sing that song you just sung?
(waa-waa-waa)
oh life is just some living with an end
i would've done so many things
you would've done if you were me
i've lived a fool's life, i've lived a fool's life, baby
and now i'm dying
i'm dying!
i'm dying!
i'm dying!
i'm dead!

Long distance, no need to shout
close quarters, ain't talkin out loud
and I gotta know
all over your open mouth
words hang like they're just hanging out
but I gotta know
where are you going crazy
in your mind or in everybody's mind?
cold shoulders have run out of luck
who knows what they're runnin from
I gotta know
you're holding up an endless line
putting pressure on my precious time
but I gotta know
where are you going crazy
in your mind or in every inch of your body?
say something
. . .

It's all here
Today is the only day
The old times make way for the new
Some fruit punch
Spills on a tablecloth
But there ain't no mess to clean up
Garbage in a can sticks together
The tiniest of things are forever
Drop a couple coins and a feather
And watch them float away at the same time
Song is made with sugar and lemonade
Sing on the porch, swing along
Me and you having a barbecue
Sticking our thumbs in the air
Meeting of some notes on a pocket
Sitting in the sun with some chocolate
Drop a couple pens and some pencils
And watch it all fall right into place
. . .

I just stayed there
And I was born at the scene of a crim
Every witness, well he was deaf and dumb
And blind
Every highlight leads the high life, yeah
Doo-we oo-wee a baba
Doo-we oo-wee a baba
Every moment was a moment, ah
Doo-we oo-wee a baba
Doo-we oo-wee a baba
Well, how'd I get here?
You know I followed the billboard sign
Every product, well it follows me down the line
Every daydream, every dead one, too
Doo-we oo-wee a baba
Doo-we oo-wee a baba
Every wish that you could wish for came true
Doo-we oo-wee a baba
Doo-we oo-wee a baba
Every daydream, every dead one, too
Every wish that you could wish for came true
Oh, wake up
Wake up, wake uuuup
We are only part of a dream
All the things in your heart
Like the things in your head
Are only what they seem
Oh, wake up
Wake up, wake uuuup
We are only part of a dream
All the things in your heart
Like the things in your head
Are only what they seem
Oh, wake up
Wake up, wake uuuup
We are only part of a dream
All the things in your heart
Like the things in your head
Are only what they seem
Hey, c'mon, man, everybody wake up
Wake up, wake uuuup
We are only a part of a dream
All the things in your heart
Like the things in your head
Are only what they seem
. . .
