it's like wearing different colored socks or microwaving tea let's fold the hands we got cus man it's not 123 all the times I've been around the block I never crossed the street I can make it up to here but then it's not up to me it's not up to me you were hoping for a bigger boy not someone like me were you hoping for a purple cloth for all your royalties? you could go collect the set but you'd still be incomplete I keep trying to get off the clock but the hand's glued to my feet I'll try the best I can but man it's not up to me it's not up to me you were hoping for a bigger boy bigger capital B I'll try the best I can but man it's not up to me

I'd give it back but I want it more I'd give it back but I want it more intruding so Judy is jealous cus she gets no reaction we're gonna wait a little more are you strung out? do you need a hit? do you need a hug? no matter what I say it always comes out wrong I'm sorry for everything to everyone maybe I lied at least I tried there's always someone new with a better song I'm sorry I need a hit I need a hug

made up my mind a hundred times a day baby be mine is just too hard to say I was in love with you but you never knew once in a while I try to set the mood but when you smile I'll add a thing like dude

since I started on this road everyone is getting old and I'm getting paranoid do what's good for you turn your back on me keep me just out of reach if I'm a dog then you're Alicia if I fall asleep please don't bury me if I sleep a week it's ok I'm aware and I don't care anymore to sip your tang it's a peach yeah man capisce?

you keep bursting into flames but not in my yard not in my hometown there's nothing for you there I don't think that I'm to blame but you're not either so then what should I do now? tell me what should I do now? let's work it out if it takes every beat of my heart to get off my chest I'm ready for it now I'm finally ready check it out every day still feels the same I keep on trying but I don't know how someone should write a book that's the last thing that I need I hate to read so tell me what can I do now? baby what can I do now? I'm fucking ready

I've been looking around for something new something cool nothing moot I've been looking around for something true something that makes me happy looking over and over without a clue I go walking around like some big fool like sunday brave like sunday new I go out on the town to scare the spooks but nothing ever happens same thing over and over not that cool same thing over and over not that cool take the top off the bottom babe hold my head cus I'm going insane say your hello break up like a bottle baby it's on you I looked over and over and I found you you won me over and over nothing to it you keep winning me over I think it over and over

the wind is stronger and the sun is hotter it's twice as windy as it was 50 years ago I have no idea if I think that's true or not but I'm pretty sure it's more windy than when I was a kid I don't know what that means but it makes me think and I think that's a really good thing the plan for now is act like nothing's wrong keep my nose in my book and my back to the wall you're money when you're made up like the shakedown and the stickup men when I focus on the ringing in my ears at night I find accidental madness is the only thing I fear I had yellow cake for breakfast but I've swallowed words for years or decades dead bees up to my knees people in need aren't the people to please I've got arm & hammer teeth for oppenheimer's beef I'm an oxy moron I pour it on thick I'd like to make a difference don't think it should take a trick I want it us against them but if it's me against you that's fine everything I want to see isn't far fetched but it seems so out of reach you're mental uranium

Rivers Cuomo 02:16
don't deny me this my love if you give me a chance I'll jump headfirst into the water I'm not the same as my father shut me out or let me in I remember the first thing you said was I kinda look like Rivers Cuomo but not that much like Buddy Holly easy come and easy go I don't care if I never know how you really felt about me to me it was just a hobby I had no expectations there was nothing except exceptions
9.
I don't like to bathe more than twice a week it shouldn't be so hard to brush my teeth I should've walked the dog but I fell asleep it's so bizarre and I swear that it won't happen again you drive me to complain like a bitter cabbie but you're the one whose arm is flabby you're not fat in the face you just don't know when to quit hey man this orange is square let's go break open the pen you don't understand what I just said but I think you know just what I meant I'm here to find the space and time to get it off my mind it's still wet but it's still cement I'm tired of fighting with you I'm going to find a new way I'm tired of waiting and living to fight a new day

dead meat 01:54
like a fish in the sky I get a little time and I wonder why under the stars is where I get lost every time it's a long way down and there's no way out I figured out it's up to you what could we do without turning your dead to meat? don't hope believe me if they call you up you'll know and you could seem like number one as far as they're concerned and you might be and the best thing I can think to do is just follow through and not follow you don't choke believe me if they call you up you'll know and you don't seem a damn concerned to watch the whole thing burning nightly

PGPR 01:37
I hope I eat my words some day some days I've got nothing to say what did you say? say it again say it again please spend an hour running it's been an hour running but the hour's running out Vitamins I try to fit them in it's hard guess it's not in the cards I should eat more vegetables
12.
she's raging like an AT field I can't tell her just how I feel it's fish for brains and pills for pain this is like a fake disaster I'm not thinking about the winter she's cooking me my last meal this is like an old west showdown for no good reason I should go everything everything everything everything I want is here I could chalk it up to you ok o cool
