Everclear Album

I used to know a girl...
she had two pierced nipples
and a black tattoo
we'd drink that mexican beer
we'd live on mexican food
yes, I wish I could go back
yes, back in time

esther used to be
the kind of girl that you would
never leave
she'd do anything
to give me what I need for my disease
she'd do anything
I can hear them talking in the
real world
but they don't understand that
I'm happy in hell
with my heroin girl

I am losing myself in a
white-trash hell
lost inside a heroin girl

they found her out in the fields
about a mile from home
her face was warm from the sun
but her body was cold
I heard the policeman say
just another overdose
...just another overdose!

esther used to be
the kind of lover you would
never leave
she'd do anything to give me
what I need
for my disease
she would do anything

[No lyrics]

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...

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

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...

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...

turn away from the pain you don't want
turning down to avoid them when they call
strange words I heard a long long time ago
I wish I could go back to a summer time
I knew more than twenty years ago
can't lay beneath the sheets
we lie underneath the maple tree
now I can't smile

lying in the grass with the wind around us as we smile and talk
listen to your grandma sing those country songs
she'd tell us how the maple turns to fire every four years
we'd sit in the grass all summer just to watch the autumn come around
I can't smile now

I live alone
and you're so far away
I call you once a year
just around the holiday
I still see you in the night
lying above me in the grass
I can't smile

turn away from the pain you don't want
turning down to avoid them when they call
I can't believe this letter that says you died
I think I'm gonna go back to the old house in north carolina
and lay in the backyard
get drunk and let the leaves just bury me
bury me
I can't smile
