Mr. Big Album

Silent voices close their minds and hide
Behind their secret gardens
Welcome to the age of rage
And everybody's high on something

Run, see Jack run
With all the little piggies in a row
They come, They go
Does anyone five a damn
Who I am or where I'm going
I an your favorite some come undone
Lost in America

Suck your poison, throw your rhymes
And wait for something bad to happen
Stand behind your middle finger
Cool to kill is still in fashion

Run, see Jack run
With all the little piggies in a row
They come, they go
Does anyone give a damn
Who I am or where I 'm going
I am your favorite son come undone
Lost in America

Here in the wasteland
No one's as sane as everyone else
And there'll be hell to pay one fine day

You go to school with your head held down
You try to fit in but they push your out
Too many people put your face in the ground
You'll get them back you'll get them
Even if you gotta wait it out the rage is out
And you feel like you're worthless
When you're breakin' down
No one's around there's gotta be somethin' better than this
You wanna feel like you're livin'

Chorus
Wake up wake up son it's just a voice in your head
Get up get up tell 'em what you should have said
I know they get to ya but you got a future
Don't let 'em take you done


Wake up wake up boy you're gonna live again
You think an attitude can make you cool
Sick and tired of being everyone's fool
You think daddy's gun is gonna erase all the scars and the pain
But you better weigh it out don't ever doubt
In one moment your life can change
It's easy now to live it down
You say you feel like a number now
But you're more than a number

Bridge

You can waste your time try to
Find someone to blame and let it out
But all you need to hear is everything is gonna be fine

I never really feel quite right.
And I don't know why.
All I know is something's wrong
Everytime I look at you, you seem so alive

Tell me how do you do it
Walk me through it
I'll follow in every footstep
Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
Till you wanna give it up
But all I want

Is for you to shine, shine down on me
Shine on this life that's spurtin' out

I say a lot of things sometimes that don't come out right
And I act like I don't know why
I guess a reaction's all I was lookin' for, yeah

When you looked through me,
You really knew me
Like no one has ever looked before.
Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
Till you wanna give it up
But all I want

Is for you to shine, shine down on me
Shine on this life that's spurtin' out
(I know, I know, know you got somethin')

Shine, (shine it on to me)
Shine down on me, (I want to feel it)
Shine on this life that's spurtin' out

Maybe on your own you
take a cautious step
Till you wanna give it up
But all I want

Is for you to shine
Shine down on me (just show me something)

Shine on this life that's spurtin' out
(you give me something that I've never known)
Shine, (if you could show me the way)
Shine down on me (I want to know what's going on in your life)
Shine on this life that's spurtin' out (don't you know I want you to)
Shine, shine down on me,
Shine on this life that's spurtin' out

The clock is ticking on the table in my room.
Funny how the time just slips away.
An ordinary simple man
Who's lost a little piece of something.
Hold my breath and close my eyes.
Say a little prayer.

Here we go again hello.
I didn't see the end and so the story goes.
How can I be cool?
When I always play the fool!
I need a shot of love.
Like an arrow through the heart.

My mind is open to the page of yesterday.
Isn't it a crime how love can go.
I always knew there would come a day
When silence played the king of pain.
So I close my eyes and hold my breath.
And contemplate a change.

Here we go again hello.
I didn't see the end and so the story goes.
How can I be cool?
I always play the fool!
I need a shot of love.
Like an arrow throuth the heart.

I have my faith in life.
I know the truth inside.
This time I swear it's gonna be better.

You're out the window
Your head is heading south
Under a constant cloud
That rains on your parade

Her wings have broken
Your fall from grace
No words are spoken
She invades your space

She comes in every color
To paint your sad face upside down
You just can't help but love her
Cause everything's better
When Mary goes 'round

Her eyes are legend
An infectious mystery
A silent melody
That works into the skin

You can't imagine
You're forever changed
In Mary's innocence
It's a brand new day

She comes in every color
To paint your sad face upside down
You just can't help but love her
'Cause everything's better
When Mary goes 'round

I'm waitin' for someone
Just beyond the pale
Where everybody's little thing is up for sale
An information bonfire
I'm twistin' while I wait
And now I'm temptin' fate

Twenty-four seven
Three hundred sixty five
Japandemonium is still alive
Praying like a sinner
Crooked with the blues
Lost all there is to lose

Can't hear, can't see, can't touch too much temptation
Too high to breathe, to believe in my own liberation
I'm fightin' suffocation

Yeah, suffocation

Traffic of the mind
Fast forward and rewind
Sometimes your clothes don't seem to fit
Frown becomes a smile
A man becomes a child
The fan is gonna hit the shit

Heaven on earth
Will cost you what it's worth
You'll find it anywhere you dare
Yeah, spin the tail donkey
I wonder how you sleep
Jump up your fight for air

Can't hear, can't see, can't touch too much temptation
Too high to breathe, to believe in my own liberation
I'm fightin' suffocation

I'm hangin' too much rope
In the shadows and the smoke
Turns blue up in the sky

Packin' all my stuff
Too much is not enough
Who's got the most and then you die

Can't hear, can't see, can't feel my frustration
Too high to breath, to believe in transformation
Can't come, can't go too slow, suffocation
Too high to breathe, to believe in my own liberation, there's too much population
Stop the world, I'm jumpin' off, I'm fightin' suffocation

Suffocation
Suffocation

Everything is always changing
Even in a world that stays the same
Breakin' heavy hearts are shaken
All the lonely people live the game
He waits for her, she waits for him
They wait for anyone
And another day begins

{Chorus}:
People rushin' everywhere
Never any time to care
Us and them and me and you
Piling up so much to do
All the colors start to fade to grey
An ordinary day is just
One world away

Try to give them what they want
You're stuck inside that same old state of grace
All we are and all we seem
A noisy dream inside a quiet place
I wait for her, she waits for him
He waits for anyone
And another day begins

{Chorus} (2x)

I married my high school drama queen
She pulled the curtains over me
Then it was I now pronounce you a one act fool
I've been sitting here wishing for my pot of gold, ship to come on in
But the motherlode is just another load of shit that I've been sinking in
Say goodbye to greener pastures, living happy ever after
Oh, yeah, Ohh, yeah

I don't wanna be happy
So what if I'm blue
I'm not looking for a change
Yeah, I'm keeping my old shoes
I don't wanna be happy
Yeah, that's why I'm with you

Now it's Oprah and Sally and how the world turns
And the big time money that I'll never earn
When only the sun goes down, the party's over
If misery loves company
Then, baby you and I were meant to be
Tomorrow's turning out to be a beautiful day, yeah
Say goodbye to greener pastures, living happy ever after

I don't wanna be happy
So what if I'm blue
I'm not looking for a change
I'm keeping my old shoes
I don't wanna be happy
Yeah, that's why I'm with you

We settle for poor connection
Got it down to imperfection

I don't wanna be happy
So what if I'm blue
I'm not looking for a change
I'm keeping my old shoes
I don't wanna be happy
Yeah, that's why I'm with you

I don't wanna be happy
So what if I'm blue
I'm not looking for a change
I'm keeping my old shoes
I don't wanna be happy
Yeah, that's why I'm with you
Oh, so beautiful you, umm

Crawlin' is the place you have been,
When you're crawlin'
When you crawl...
Crawl over me.

Euphoria is her name, she's so good,
She is almost bad, she is almost mad.
Sweet misery is a game that conceals,
The benediction, a cruel conviction.

Have you ever been a child,
have you ever faked a smile,
When you crawl? (crawl over me)
You're back on your knees again,
Right where you've always been. (crawl over me)
Where's your pride?
You're on the ground.
Crawl over me.

Since the alchemy plays the cards that she deals,
She lets me see what I want to see
Have you ever been afraid,
Have you ever lied to get laid,
When you crawl?
Crawl over me,
You're back on your knees again,
Right where you've always been. (crawl over me)
Where's your pride?
You're on the ground.
Crawl over me.

Have you ever been alone, stare into the great unknown.
You want to suffer so you can't feel.
You can't buy so you have to steal.
Was I ever in your plans?
Will I ever understand?

Crawl over me, (crawl over me, crawl over me, crawl over me)
You're back on your knees again, (crawl over me)
Right where you've Always been. (crawl over me)
Wehre's your pride?
You're on the ground.
Crawl over me.

Superstar girl in a strange little world,
Exit on a hustle made for two
Rock n' roll colossal, makin' such a fuss oh
Candy on a million dollar bill

I want to know if you got a strange fascination
And some time to kill
We can blow up the minds of the old congregation
For a cheap little thrill

Expressionistic space suit, exit on the parachute
The planet is a candle in a box
I'm swingin' from the grapevine, runnin' through the stop sign
Won't you show me yours, I'll show you mine

I want to know if you've got a strange fascination
And some time to kill
We can blow up the minds of the old congregation
For a cheap little thrill

I want to know if you've got a strange fascination
And some time to kill
We can blow up the minds of the old congregation
For a cheap little thrill

I know you've got a strange desperation
And some time to kill
We can blow up the minds of the old congregation
For a cheap little thrill
A cheap little thrill, a cheap little thrill
I know you've got a strange fascination
For a cheap little thrill

You walked in like a goddess
I'm good like I don't notice
Wrapped up in all the trimmings
I stopped my tongue from spilling
My inside, inside out

So how, how, how is it possible to spy my private eye
How, how, how could it be so criminal inside your dirty mind
I hid my heart away with my little masquerade
How did I give myself away

I'm high on Cleopatra
Too high to climb the ladder up
A slave to circumstances
I watched you from a distance
I thought you'd never know how far I wanna go

How, how, how is it possible to spy my private eye
How, how, how could it be so criminal inside your dirty mind
I hid my heart away with my little masquerade
How did I gibe myself away

I never felt so busted
My inside, inside out
How do you see me now

How, how, how is it possible to get my self away
How, how, how could it be so criminal to get my self away
So, how, how, how is it possible to get my self away
How, how, how could it be so criminal to get my self away
I hid my heart away with my little masquerade
How did I gibe myself away

Love is a stranger you didn't plan on
Turns you to a victim or a volunteer
It can disappear like a rose in a garden
There's nothing like it in the world
You can swear to God that it's over
Tell a clipped heart to play dead
There's no way to stop looking over your shoulder
There's nothing like it in the world

There's nothing like the weight when it's lifted
There's nothing like a dream where you learn how to fly
I know for sure, 'cause I've been there before
There's nothing like it in the world

Somewhere in a smile there's an invitation
Calling you back into the dance
You can't deny such a high from a beautiful moment
There's nothing like it in the world

There's nothing like the weight when it's lifted
There's nothing like the weight when it's lifted
There's nothing like a dream where you learn how to fly
I know for sure, 'cause I've been there before
There's nothing like it in the world

There's nothing like the weight when it's lifted
There's nothhing like a dream where you learn how to fly
With no compromise
I now for sure, cause I've been there before
There's nothing like it in the world

You were coming down, I saw the look, a beggar's frown you hit the floor like a gun, words on your tongue
Would not make a sound
Too late to think about a new tomorrow,
All of mother's help has gone away

Chorus
Crash through the world you let it slip, trying to explain it all away
But that deep dark secret just won't go away
Now after all these years still there are people and places you fear echoes inside of a girl, who lost herself, I wish you were here
The past shot like a bullet full of sorrow
Memories they don't ever seem to fade
Crash through the world you let it slip, trying to explain it all away
But that deep dark secret just won't go away

Solo

Time to think about a new tomorrow, silence gets you through another day
Crash through the world you let it slip trying to explain it all away
But that deep dark secret just won't go away,
Oh no yeh that deep dark secret just won't go away, hey hey that deep dark secret just won't go away
Go away
