Ok, so, who doesn't own a cell phone
Who brought back their permission slip
Because I know nobody wants to stay home
While the rest of us go out and make a day of it

Cause theme parks are so much more fun when the sun's outside
And I lost my phone to the lake beneath the batman ride

They're starting something, and I don't want to begin it
They're looking for trouble, but with me it won't be found
And I regret that I'm completely out of daytime minutes
And so I guess I'll have to wait a lot till 8 o'clock comes around

Ok, so, who doesn't own a cell phone
Well I don't need to ask my friends
Because I know mine was fastened to my jawbone
Thanks to all those nights and weekends

Cause theme parks are so much more fun when the sun's outside
And I lost my phone to the lake beneath the batman ride

They're starting something, and I don't want to begin it
They're looking for trouble, but with me it won't be found
And I regret that I'm completely out of daytime minutes
And so I guess I'll have to wait a lot till 8 o'clock comes around

When it comes to relationships I'm the dumbest one
And I don't mean just with girls, I mean with everyone
Your illustrations always point out just what's wrong with me
It's chapstick, and chapped lips, and things like chemistry

It's chapstick, and chapped lips, and things like
It's chapstick, and chapped lips, and things like
It's chapstick, and chapped lips, and things like chemistry

Can I relate to you the way you relate to me
Can you help me out with my chemistry
I don't want to be precieved the way I am
I just want to be percieved the way I am

. . .



We all know the girls that I am talking about
Well they are time bombs and they are ticking
And the only question's when they'll blow up
And they'll blow up; we know that without a doubt
Cause they're those girls, yeah you know those girls that let their emotions get
the best of them

And I've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
Let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
So we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
Cause we'll know just what they're thinking
Cause what they're thinking...

She's so pretty but she but doesn't always act that way
Her mood's out swinging on the swing set almost every day
She said to me that she's so happy it's depressing
And all I said was "someone get that girl a mood ring"

If it's drama you want then look no further
They're like the real world meets boy meets world meets days of our lives
And it just kills me how they get away with murder
They'll anger you then bat their eyes; those pretty eyes that watch you
sympathize

And I've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
Let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
So we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
Cause we'll know just what they're thinking
Cause what they're thinking...

She's so pretty but she but doesn't always act that way
Her mood's out swinging on the swing set almost every day
She said to me that she's so stressed out that it's soothing
And all I said was "someone get that girl a mood ring"

Cause when it's black (it) means watch your back because you're probably
The last person in the world right now she wants to see
And when it's blue it means that you should call her up immediately
And ask her out because she'll most likely agree
And when it's green it simply means that she is really stressed
And when it's clear it means she's completely emotionless (and that's all right
I must confess)

We all know the girls that I am talking about
She liked you wednesday but now it's friday and she has to wash her hair
And it just figures that we'll never figure them out
First she's jekyll and then she's hyde....at least she makes a lovely pair

Mood ring oh mood ring
Oh tell me will you bring
The key to unlock this mystery
Of girls and their emotions
Play it back in slow motion
So I may understand the complex infrastructure known as the female mind

[speaking:]
Heh...that's terrible

. . .


I'm falling out of grace with the world
they say I've lost my midas touch
what turned to gold now turns to rust
I'm falling out of line with all the stars
that flood my dreams with their guitars and magazines

face down, this carpet tastes like coffee grounds
ground into my face now
and every angle's covered with just another.

I'm falling out of style with the current way things are
the things that make conforming hard

I'm falling out of control and you just can't stop me now
I'll fight as long as time allows.

Face down, this carpet tastes like coffee grounds
ground into my face now
and every angle's covered with just another, bandaid

I'm out here way beyond
a shadow of a doubt
and I know I'm never falling out(falling out)
of favor with you
I'm out here way beyond
a shadow of a doubt
and I know I'm never falling out(falling out)
of favor with you.

I wont think twice or even three times
about taking a gamble with you
cause with my life you have been so kind
I take all my comfort from you

Face down, this carpet tastes like coffee grounds
ground into my face now
and every angle's covered with just another, bandaid

I'm out here way beyond
a shadow of a doubt
and I know I'm never falling out(falling out)
of favor with you
I'm out here way beyond
a shadow of a doubt
and I know I'm never falling out(falling out falling out)
of favor with you.

Whoa - oah
I've been banging my head against the wall
Whoa- oah
For so long it seems I knocked it down
Yeah it got knocked down
Whoa- oah
And the heating bill went through the roof
Whoa- oah
And the wall I knocked down is the proof
That my landlord needed to kick me out
I got evicted now I'm living on the street
My spirits lifted, oh wait that wasn't me
Too many turns, have turned out to be wrong
This time I learned that, I knew it all along
Got crashed where you burn and I'll be what you were
Whoa- oah
And I'll see what I should, and I'll see that its good, that its good
To experience the bitter-sweet, to taste defeat
Then brush your teeth
Experience, the bitter-sweet, to taste defeat
Then brush your teeth
Cause I struggle with forward motion
I struggle with forward motion
We all struggle with forward motion
Cause forward motion is harder then it sounds
Well everytime I get some ground I gotta turn myself around again
It's harder then it sounds
Well everytime I get some ground I gotta turn myself around again
Whoa- oah
I've been banging my head against the wall
Whoa- oah
For so long it seems I've got knocked out
Yeah got knocked out cold
Whoa- oah
And the medical bills went through the roof
And the scar on my head is the proof, that I'll still remember this when I get old
I got evicted now I'm living on the street
My spirits lifted, oh wait that wasn't me
Too many turns, have turned out to be wrong
This time I learned that, I knew it all along
Well I grasped to concept that I'll sleep where you slept
Whoa- oah
Well I know I need help when I allow my self
Allow myself
To experience the bitter-sweet, to taste defeat
Then brush your teeth
Experience, the bitter-sweet, to taste defeat
Then brush your teeth
Cause I struggle with forward motion
I struggle with forward motion
We all struggle with forward motion
Cause forward motion is harder then it sounds
Well everytime I get some ground I gotta turn myself around again
It's harder then it sounds
Well everytime I get some ground I gotta turn myself around again
Cause I struggle with forward motion
I struggle with forward motion
We all struggle with forward motion
Cause I struggle with forward motion
I struggle with forward motion
We all struggle with forward motion
Well everytime I get some ground I gotta turn myself around again
Cause I struggle with forward motion
I struggle with forward motion
We all struggle with forward motion

so it was jeremy in 1983
in his ocean pacific tee
who got a bloody knee
on his skateboard
in the half pipe
in the backyard
that tuesday night

and i'm only gonna pierce my left ear
and i've been working on this mustache all summer long
and my favorite band will always be tears for fears
and i'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom

cutting class through the first floor window
he's driving fast cause he never did a thing slow
and i look up to my big bro
cause in the 80's all the ladies grabbed his hand and couldn't let go

and i'm only gonna pierce my left ear
and i've been working on this mustache all summer long
and my favorite band will always be tears for fears
and i'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
a pink tux to the prom

doo doo, doot doo
pink tux to the prom
doo doo, doot doo
pink tux to the prom

i am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
live without a care... what could possibly go wrong?

when you're the president of the breakfast club
and you're not hesitant to fall in love to fall in love
to throw it away to fall in love with the 80's

i am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
live without a care... what could possibly go wrong?
i am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
live without a care...
cause you threw it away to fall in love with the 80's

someone please save us, us college kids!
what my parents told me is what I did
they said to go to school and be a college kid
but in the end I questioned why I did

I'm poor, I'm starving, I'm flat broke, I've got no cash to spend
sell all my books for front row tickets to Dave Matthews Band
my girlfriend's at another school, I know this year will test her
I called, found out she had three other boyfriends last semester
and that's why I say

Oh no! Not for me, not for me,
call it torture, call it u-ni-ver-si-ty
No! Arts and crafts is all I need
I'll take calligraphy and then I'll make a fake degree

80 grand later I found out that all that I had learned
is that you should show up to take your finals and your midterms
the party scene is kinda mean, I think it's sick and twisted
the navy showed up at my door and claimed that I enlisted

and that's why I say
Oh no! Not for me, not for me,
call it torture, call it u-ni-ver-si-ty
No! Arts and crafts is all I need
I'll take calligraphy and then I'll make a fake degree

don't get excited, she'll say no without a doubt you see
and I've decided college girls just won't go out with me
they make me nervous and they always catch me off my guard
like cell phone service I drop out cause college is too hard

its time to call my father
cause it's his alma mater
good grades aren't what they seem
I think he knows the dean
it's time to call my father
cause it's his alma mater
he says he's proud of me
but college always was his dream
and I would always say it's not for me

Oh no! Not for me, not for me,
call it torture, call it u-ni-ver-si-ty
No! Arts and crafts is all I need
I'll take calligraphy and then I'll make a fake degree

someone please save us, us college kids
what my parents told me is what i did
they said go to school and be a college kid
but in the end i question why i did

(phi, beta, delta, kappa)
do what will make you happy
do what you feel is right
only but one thing matters
learn how to live your life
do what will make God happy
do what you feel is right
only but one thing matters
learn how to live your life

. . .


I think it might just be alright
To leave what matters out of sight
Old habits die hard holding on
Inevitable means it's never gone

Told myself what I need to hear
I think the point was very clear
I showed me what we'd missed since we
Slipped into inconsistency

Pre-Chorus:
It seems that my ties with you get severed
I can't seem to hold the thing together
I just fall apart
Cuz that's my trademark

CHORUS
It's my, my trademark move
To turn my back on you
It's my, my trademark move
To realize I should improve

And sometime soon after that
You'll see me come crawlin back

I'll kill the thing that turns me away
Amputate the arm that will disobey
Withdraw from everything that's hurting me
Until you finish your work in me

Pre-Chorus
CHORUS

And sometime soon after that
You'll see me come crawlin back

CHORUS X2

And sometime soon after that
You'll see me come crawlin back

. . .


what's up dude? I'm getting kind of bored
let's get some food and then hit movies 4
what's going on?whats up with all our friends?
let's start a rumor just to find out where it ends

cause a small town is like a small stage
for teenagers and their drama
instead of playing shows, we'll be showing plays
like 90210 without the beverly hills

well, don't you think it's high time
that we never settle down
well, don't you think it's high time
that we get out of this town
cause if we leave then we just might be okay

hoopes i did it again
i messed everything up, and i think i hurt my friends
hoopes i did it again
relationships that work are things that i can't comprehend

ohio has the flavor of a water chestnut
it's not too crazy and it's not the best but
we're not setting forest fires just out of boredom
i'd rather see a movie if in fact i can afford one

cause a small town is like a small stage
for teenagers and their drama
instead of playing shows, we'll be showing plays
like 90210 without the beverly hills

well, don't you think it's high time
that we never settle down
well don't you think it's high time
that we get out of this town
cause if we leave then we just might make a difference
and if we leave then we just might be okay
and i don't think it would hurt to get away

dan bakitus said i'm shallow
he said i've got no integrity
but, i don't know dan bakitus
and dan bakitus, he don't know me

cause we always say in canton (ohio)
you (can't enjoy) canton joy yourself
well, there's truth to that
but may i add
it's not half bad
and never less than that.

. . .


i was thinking, overthinking
cause theres just too many scenerios
to analyze, look in my eyes
cause you're my dream please come true.
i was thinking, overthinking
about exactly how i'm not exactly him
i'll break my heart in two more times than you could ever do
cause you're my dream please come true.

cause i think way too much on a one track mind
and you're so out of touch cause i'm so far behind
i can't deny this anymore, the facts ignored all done before
and if theres one in this world, you let me know you're not that girl.

i was sinking, lower sinking
cause i lost the things i held on to
they let me think a thought a thought a thought that i would know was not
of seeing my dreams come true
i was thinking, overthinking
about how far i had let this go
one more guy/girl cliche i know now you're just in the way
of me and my dream come true.

cause i think way too much on a one track mind
and you're so out of touch cause i'm so far behind
i'm trying to make sense out of all of this
while you're fading scent just slips through my grip
i can't deny this anymore, the facts ignored all done before
and if theres one in this world, you'll let me know you're not that girl.

don't touch the positive with the negative end
don't touch the positive with the negative end
cause after all the sparks you're left alone in the dark
cause after all the sparks you're left alone in the dark
and while i'm able, i think i'll label
experience with you as a mistake
and while i'm at it, i'll say i've had it
experience with you is a mistake

cause i think way too much on a one track mind
and you're so out of touch cause i'm so far behind
i'm trying to make sense out of all of this
while you're fading scent just slips through my grip

i was thinking, over thinking
cause theres just too many scenerios
to think about to figure out
if you're my dream please come true

. . .



Sometimes it's embarrassing to talk to you
To hold a conversation with the only one who sees right through
This version of myself
I try to hide behind
I'll bury my face because my disgrace will leave me terrified

And sometimes I'm so thankful for your loyalty
Your love regardless of
The mistakes I make will spoil me
My confidence is, in a sense, a gift you've given me
And I'm satisfied to realize you're all I'll ever need

[Chorus]
You looked into my life and never stopped
And you're thinking all my thoughts
Are so simple, but so beautiful
And you recite my words right back to me
Before I even speak
You let me know, I am understood

And sometimes I spend my time
Just trying to escape
I work so hard so desperately, in an attempt to create space
Cause I want distance from the utmost important thing I know
I see your love, then turn my back and beg for you to go

[Chorus]

You're the only one who understands completely
You're the only one knows me yet still loves completely

And sometimes the place I'm at is at a loss for words
If I think of something worthy I know that its already yours
And through the times I've faded and you've outlined me again
You've just patiently waited, to bring me back and then

[Chorus]

The noise has broken my defense
Let me embrace salvation
Your voice has broken my defense
Let me embrace salvation

. . .


When I made up my mind
And my heart along with that
To live not for myself
But yet for God
Somebody said
Do you know what you are getting yourself into?
When I finally ironed out
All of my priorities
And asked God to remove the doubt
That makes me so unsure of these
Things I ask myself
I ask myself,
"Do you know what you are getting yourself into?"

I'm getting into You
Because You got to me
In a way words can't describe
I'm getting into You
Because I've got to be
You're essential to survive
I'm going to love You with my life

When He looked at me and said,
"I kind of view you as a son"
And for a second our eyes met
And I met that with a question,
"Do You know what you are getting Yourself into?"

I'm getting into You
Because You got to me
In a way words can't describe
I'm getting into You
Because I've got to be
You're essential to survive
I'm gonna love You with my life

I've been a liar and I'll never amount to
The kind of person You deserve to worship You
You say You will not dwell on what I did but rather what I do
You say, "I love you and that's what you are getting yourself into"

I'm getting into You
Because You got to me
In a way words can't describe
I'm getting into You
Because I've got to be
You're essential to survive
I'm gonna love You with my life

I'm getting into You
Because You got to me
In a way words can't describe
I'm getting into You
Because I've got to be
You're essential to survive
I'm gonna love You with my life

You said "I love you and that's what you are getting yourself into."

PEPPERONI!
And it was all just a dream

Baby rhapso

Ho!

I'm the confused neck with the keep getting restless
Eating 20 lbs of 'basgetti for breakfast
Still showing up on your 10 best dressed list
I told you my name is M.C. defenseless
Duct tape wrapped around my feet
Held hostage before the big track meet
14 feet from 18 street
I know for a fact that you think I'm neat

Yo, you stick around like a fly on the wall
W/ surround sound you found that you hear it all
When it all comes thru I hear you say so dude
"i never thought money really mattered to you"
When all the kings horses and all the kings men took all the kings credit and
they started to spend
It all on the worthlessness a tragedy went
"your moving in with your aunty and uncle in bel aire"

Ladies and gentlemen, the worst freestyle rapper ever

Um uh uh give me a second uh shoot
Um uh right here we go
Apples are green
And carrots are orange
And then they go and then you go
What...nothing... what oh what rhyems with orange?
Oh geez, I really am bad.
Just gimme, gimme a second

No man, your done!

Whose that wearing those silly shoes?
We are wearing those silly shoes!
Well I really hate those silly shoes
Well we really like those silly shoes
Please stop wearin silly shoes
We won't stop wearing those silly shoes
They're just shoes, man!
Well I've learned to respect your silly shoes
The respect for you is so that we won't lose
Can I try on a pair of your silly shoes?
Man, quit talking about those silly shoes.

You say I'm boring, but I say hardly
Well lets get together and have a pizza party!
PIZZA PARTY!
PEPPERONAY!

And it was all just a dream...
Forever.
(snakes...)

Excuse me, but i've got a request
could you take the gag off of my mouth
i admit that i'm fairly impressed
cause you're the best at blocking me out
i believe that we weren't quite done
i know it's hard to hear me out again
i realize, you're not the only one
who's terriefied of life from end to end

hey hey, can you hear anything i say?
i'm feeling unwanted, that's not what i wanted
and attention to me is something you refuse to pay

cause i just cant believe the way that this contiues to go on
I say i wish you didnt always think Im wrong
so tell me
tell me what will it take to get this through your head
and tell me what will it take
until you see things through from end to end

excuse me, but isn't this the way
that things always turn into something good
you've tried to ignore the things i say
but in the end you found you never could

hey hey, can you hear anything i say?
you search for the short-cut, you live life but for what?
i love you and hope you will find the truth someday

cause i just cant believe the way that this contiues to go on
I say i wish you didnt always think Im wrong
so tell me
tell me what will it take to get this through your head
and tell me what will it take
until you see things through from end to end

so tell me
tell me what will it take to get this through your head
and tell me what will it take
to get you on my good side again
and tell me what will it take
to get this through your head
and tell me what will it take
to forget what you knew
just let him find you
and then you'll see things through from end to end

. . .


If it hurts kiss it better
You wear skirts I write nice letters
Never said nothing with flowers
Though we always talked for hours
And it seems to get much colder when you cry on your own shoulder
And we know the show must go on
Guess I know I guess I'll throw on

[Chorus]
Some Jefferson airplane I'm trapped and I am enclosed
But I won't complain i'll open all the windows [x2]
Cause when it's colder I feel much better when I cry on my own shoulder
Just throw on a sweater and go

And I'll go to undergo a change of heart, a change of clothes
And when i'm home i think i'll go eat cereal and stare out the window


I'll make the calls you cover your ears
Niagra Falls still flows on New Year's
I will save your plunging neckline
Kiss your face, you try to deck mine
If I behave it's gonna cost him
Skip the rave in downtown Boston
And we know the show must go on
Guess I know I guess I'll throw on

[Chorus]

And I'll go to undergo a surgery to purge me of this lonely mood
And my ego, the status quo, provides me with a decent attitude
And i'll go to undergo a change of heart, a change of clothes
And when i'm home, i think i'll go eat cereal and stare out the window

Cause you confuse me more than anyone
An adjustment has begun
To let me feel the desperate need to leave what we undid undone
And maybe you could sympathize
With the bags under my eyes
And we'll see the signs are saying that we have used up all our (tries)
Try to be a better person
To be a better friend
To be a better son
He tries to be a better someone
That understands the difference
And that he cant show all the people all the things that really mean as much as could (feel)
Feels like i dont remember
Ever being this tired (before)
Before now my eyes were closed to all of the beauty of this world

[Chorus]

And i'll go to undergo a surgery to purge me of this lonely mood
And my ego, the status quo, provides me with a decent attitude
And i'll go to undergo a change of heart, a change of clothes
And i'll go, oh yes
I'll go and hope the new me shows so everybody knows
that i've found myself able to fly away without magic feathers or jefferson aero planes
I've got with me all that i need
