Sessions Guide

1975

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

Go hey


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 (2x)

Watch and wonder as they fade

Fade (4x)


Dull, damaged, and blind (2x)

Dull, damaged, and blind (2x)
Sounds a lot like me

Dull, damaged, and blind (2x)
Yeah, almost all of the time

Dull, damaged, and blind (2x)
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 (2x)

Watch and wonder as they fade

Annabella’s Song (Sparkle & Fade)

See you roll your eyes
You know it makes me smile
Yes you are like the sun to me
All bright as liquid fire
I feel so powerless
Hold you up above the world
Yeah you are quite a lot of trouble
For such a pretty little girl

I know I'm never home
I'm always miles and miles away
Here I'm running out of time
Say the things I need to say

I call you on the phone
You will not talk to me
Yeah you just don't understand
You are my everything

Anna

Anna
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need

Anna

You are never alone

Hey hey hey

Tell me what you want

Anna

You are never alone

You are never alone


I like to watch you play
When you don't know I'm there
I watch you in your sleep at night
Reach out and touch your hair

I wanna make this world
Give you what you want to be
Yeah you just don't understand
You are everything to me

Anna

Anna
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need

You are a loser like the rest of your friends
You're a loser in the worst way
I think your losing’s just begun

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 worshiping the thrill

Yeah I've seen the light
All around your face
Yeah I've seen the light
Shine in your eyes

Light from another place

Deep In, Empty Out

Yeah I hear the hum in my ear
It keeps me awake sometimes
I can deal with most everything
I'm out of my mind when you're out of my sight

I would give everything
Deep in and empty out
Yeah, I would give everything you want
Everything you need

Why can't you talk to me
I hear your voice everywhere else
Oh why do you have to be

Sloppy drunk
Just to say I am your friend

I'd give you everything
Yeah, deep in and empty out

Everything you need
Everything means nothing to me

Detroit

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 and scatter everywhere

(Fall down)

Break and scatter everywhere

(Fall down) (3x)

Break and scatter everywhere

I close my eyes and I can see her waiting

I am

Pleading for a Michigan dream girl
Self inflected, heavy as hell

I am

Pleading for a Michigan girl
See her come around

(Big lie) wrapped inside a little girl (2x)

(Big lie) (3x)

Wrapped inside a little girl

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 (3x)

She’s starting to fade

She’s starting to fade

She starts to fade (9x) (I am)

(Dreaming of a Michigan girlfriend)

She starting to fade

Hey hey hey ah

I cover my ears
I close my mind
She's starting to fade

Drunk Again

Kathy please

Just go away
Don't let Hazel see you when you're high
Just take a walk

To your sleazy bar
Come back after I put her down

Cross the street
On your knees
Makes me ashamed
It's hard to sleep
I can't shake

You’re in pain
You get high

You just throw it away

Hey Kathy please

Give me a break
I told you not to come here when you're drunk again
I'm sober now

Just 30 days
All alone and working hard to stay that way

Cross the street
On your knees
Makes it hard
It's hard to see
I can't shake
You’re in pain
You get high

You just throw it away

Ah

Yeah yeah yeah ah


Kathy please

Yeah yeah
I don't want to see you when you're down
Just leave me be

And go away
You're not going to pull me down
I won't let you throw it away

You just throw it away (3x)

Oh oh

For Pete’s Sake

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

Yeah keep it in

Keep it in

Yeah keep it in

Oh keep it in


You and me could have been the best friends
But we'd never had the best friends
Go!

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

Whoa keep it in

Yeah keep it in

Yeah keep it in

Ah

Happy

David has some issues now
He says he never is good enough
There is nothing that he wants to do
Nothing he does is ever good enough

He hears it from the girls that he likes
That nothing is good enough
He hears it loud when he tries sleep at night
That nothing is good enough

Nothing is good enough

(One, Two, Three)

Heather has a problem now
She thinks that nothing ever is good enough
She always tries to make everything right
Everything she tries is never good enough

She hears it from the girls that she likes
Nothing is good enough
Yeah she hears it loud when he tries sleep at night
That nothing is good enough

Nothing makes you happy
Nothing makes you live in a world without love
Nothing is the only thing that will never change
So nothing is good enough
Yeah nothing is good enough

Right

I think I have some issues now
I really feel like nothing is good enough
No I have to keep it all from falling apart
Nothing that I have is ever good enough

I hear it from my wonderful wife
That nothing is good enough
Yeah I hear it loud when I try to sleep at night
That nothing is good enough

Nothing makes you happy
No nothing is like living in a world without sound
No nothing is the only thing that will not hurt you
Nothing will never ever let you down
Nothing makes you happy
No nothing makes you live in a world without love
Nothing is the only thing that will never change
So nothing is good enough
No nothing is good enough (3x)

Happy Hour

Hey

Makes me wonder
Why I just let them slip away
I'd trade my family and my friends
For an endless happy hour


I know

Sometimes I talk too much
Hey

Have a drink with me
And

I will tell you what I think
Yeah I know I look like I am just some drunk to you

But I know who I was
And I know who I am

Hey hey

Yeah

Pushing pulling
Until they just slowly fade away

I still know who I am (3x)

Ha ha

Hoo-hoo

For an endless happy hour

I still know who I am (3x)

Hateful

Go

She is living far away

From a lonely man in the San Francisco Bay
He is dreaming hard of a girl

All clad in bad plaid and mad at the whole world

All her friends

They are blessed impressed intelligent and free
All of them are six feet tall

All of them are hateful to me

She sleeps alone and wet

With her phone in her face all tied up in her old bed
She walks alone everyday

Up and down the rainy streets in her own weird way

All her friends

They are blessed impressed intelligent and free
All of them are six feet tall

All of them are hateful to me

Hateful

Yeah they're hateful to me

Hateful

Yeah they're hateful to me

Hateful

Yeah they're hateful to me

Hateful


Jenny’s never hateful

I’m On Your Time

I'm on your time

I do those half hearts
No one can push my buttons like you do

My weak arms

You can't hope to hold you
I'm on your time

Yeah I'm on your time
Yeah you really keep me quite amused
I say I wish you could just get over yourself
Yeah yeah

You say we're in this for the abuse

I run reckless miles behind you
Baby you know I get so violent sometimes
My weak arms

You can't hope to hold you
I'm on your time

Yeah we will never forget
We will never forgive
We will never forget
We will never forget

What we do to each other
We will never forgive
We will never forget
Hey we will never forget
No we will never forget

I'm on your time
You say we can't go on this way
Go! (4x)

I say I wish you could fix this broken thing in me
You say I'll be happy, I'll be dead

I run reckless miles behind you
Baby you know I get so fucked up inside
My weak arms

You can't hope to hold you

I'm on your time
Yeah yeah yeah

I'm on your time
Whoa oh whoa

Oh I'm on your time
No we will never forgive
We will never forget (3x)
The things we do to each other
We will never forgive
We will never forget

Lame

Then they came on me
They dragged me from the bar
Still wet from sweat and beer
I bruise so prettily from men blinded by their fear
These men
Broke my back and made me lame
Lame (2x)


Then she said to me
I'd give you everything

To make it like before
To make you love me like you used to
Make you love me more
She said to me
Your life is large but your mind is lame
Lame (2x)

Go!


I can't believe my eyes
Whoa

I can’t believe my eyes

When I see the truth

And all the things I've done
And every place I’ve been
I never stay I run
I know

That I live in shame

Lame (3x)
Yeah I live in shame

Lame (3x)


It's hard to sleep at night
I hardly ever sleep at night

Local God

Go!

You do that Romeo
Be what you wanna be
Look like you running in place
Do that stupid dance for me

Do that Romeo
That go-go Romeo
I see you twist and turn
You look so stupid, happy, and numb

Be my Romeo
Please be my voice in this world
I can't sing the songs that you sing
I can't find the gorgeous words

Will you be my Romeo?
My go-go Romeo
I see you twist and turn

You look so stupid

I feel just like a local god

When I'm with the boys
We do what we want

Yes we do what we want

I feel just like a local god

When I'm with the boys
We do what we want

Yes we do what we want

Yeah we do what we want

Be my Romeo
Tell me all about your love
Tell me all about your pain
Baited breath and rubber gloves

Be my Romeo
My go-go Romeo
I see you twist and turn

You look so fucking stupid

Ooh oh

Ayayayayay yeah


I feel just like a local god

When I'm with the boys
We do what we want

Yes we do what we want

Go!

Summer days can lead to the bad times
The world gets larger everyday
Yeah, yeah, the summer days can lead to the bad blood
That leaves me feeling stupid, happy, and numb

Stupid, happy, and numb
I feel so stupid, happy and numb
Stupid, happy and numb
I feel so stupid (2x)

Pacific Wonderland

(Instrumental)

Sex With A Movie Star (The Good Witch Gone Bad)

Oh!

Hollywood girls

Need a pretty silver star
They can hide

in the bottom of their breakdown

Hollywood girls need a secret they can hide

Behind the buttons at the bottom of their purse
Hollywood girls need a pretty silver star
They can hide in the distance in the makeup
Hollywood girls need a simple little lie
They can count on when they don't know which is worse

Everyone you meet is like the princess of the underground
Yeah everyone you meet is either kissing ass or going down

Hollywood girls have those movie star eyes
That they use when they lie about their boyfriends
Hollywood girls have those innocent eyes
That they use when they lie about it all
Hollywood girls do whatever they want
Without the knowledge that they’re running out of good times
Hollywood girls do whatever they want
Without the knowledge they can never have it all

Make yourself a promise that you don’t intend to keep now
You can either workout with your trainer
Or just catch up with on some sleep
You can always find a classy way
To sell yourself cheap

True love

Will never will never mean a thing to me
I'm just looking for a ride in a stolen car
True love

Is not what it pretends to be
I just wanna have sex with a movie star

I don’t wanna think about tomorrow now
I don’t wanna think about to tomorrow

You’re gonna make yourself some promises you don’t intent to keep
You can maybe get yourself a facial
While you catch up on some sleep

You can buy yourself a new dress
When you need a new distraction
You can find yourself an actor
When you need some empty action

I know

Those words don’t mean a damn to me
I wanna walk away when everything just falls apart
I know

I just like everyone I meet
I just wanna have sex with a movie star

True love

Will never mean a thing to me
I'm just looking for a ride in a stolen car
True love

Is not what it pretends to be
I just want to have sex with a movie star

Sex

Oh

I just wanna have sex
I just wanna have sex
I just wanna have fun
I don’t want to think about tomorrow
I don’t want to think about tomorrow now

Slow Motion Genius

(Instrumental)

The Swing

Never said I was innocent
I will burn in Hell for the things I've done to you
Never said I was anything good
I should die from the shame for what I put you through

Let me be the one to bring us back from the dead
I will take the blame for everything
You know I just wanna help you forget

Yeah yeah


We are still living on broken glass
We are still numb because it just keeps happening
All your friends, they can kiss my ass
They only see the simple things that they wanna see

Let me be the one to make the pain go away
Shave my skin and show a brand new face
You know I just wanna know that you're okay

You don't have to like it but the swing is in my hands now

Sometimes

I think
The power is better than a hard drug
Sometimes (sometimes)

I think (I think)
The power is better than anything

Sometimes I think
Letting go is just like giving up
Sometimes all I think I wanna do is die inside
All I wanna do is die inside
All I ever think about is you and me falling apart

Yeah Ahh (4x)

Never said I was innocent
I will burn in Hell for the things I have done to you
Never said I was anything good
Na na na na na na na na

Let me be the one to make the pain go away
Shave my skin and show a brand new face
You know I just wanna know that you're okay

Let me be the one to bring us back from the dead
I will take the blame for everything
I just wanna help you forget

Ooh, Sometimes I think
Letting go is just like giving up
Sometimes all I think about is falling apart

Your New Disease

Ugh


Oh (4x)

I heard the news today
All about your new disease
This is what you said you wanted
When you walked away from me

I heard the news today
Yeah I know what your friends all say
That I'm gonna go to Hell
They are probably right
I just want to go to Hell my way

I just want to do it my way

I heard the news today
All about your new romance
There is always going to be someone better than me
I guess I never had a chance

Yes I heard the news today
You are living by the sound of the bell
I still believe that life gets better
When you tell the world to go to Hell

Oh I don't want to play your game
I don't want to live that way
I don't want to do what you tell me to do
I don't fit inside the box you've made

No I will never play your game
No I will never live that way
I don't want to do what you tell me to do
I just want to do it my way (my way)
[Whoa my way
I want to do it my way] (4x)

Yes I heard the news today
You've got scars on your hands and knees
You never would have been so obvious
When I was a new disease

Yes I heard the news today
You are living by the sound of the bell
I still believe that life gets better
When you tell the world to go to Hell

Oh I don't want to play your game
I don't want to live that way
I don't want to do what you tell me to do
I don't fit inside the box you made


No I will never play your game
No I will never live that way
No I don't want to live the way you want me to live
I just want to live my way (my way)
[Whoa my way (3x)
Whoa I want to live my way] (2x)
Whoa my way
Yeah I don't want to live the way you want me to live

[Whoa whoa
Whoa I want to live my way] (4x)
