World Of Noise
Your Genius Hands
I've seen you shake
I know what it cost you
I have heard your words
Now I am big on your noise
My eyes aren't big enough
Because I can't see your hands
I can't see what you hold
Hey hey
I am growing now
As I watch you fade
Now I know what you know
And I'll break the chains that you have made
These chains you've made for me
Yeah, I will pull you down
I know I'll fail in style
I long to touch your genius hands
Go!
I am growing now
As I watch you fade
Now I know what you know
And I'll break the chains that you have made
These chains you've made for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I will pull you down
I know I'll fail in style
I will I swear
Ho whoa whoa
I’m gonna shake
Your genius hands
Your genius hands
Hey uh hey uh hey uh
Your genius hands
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Ah yeah
Sick & Tired
Oh!
Ha ha ha ha
I break every day
Stressed out in every kind of way
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired
All I need and crave
Is a loud life with the power to fade
I am living because I keep it all and keep it all inside
Yeah, I keep it all and keep it all inside
Yeah, I keep it all and keep it all inside
Hey hey
Love won't work for me
I want women who are out of my reach
I'm sick and tired of living all alone
All I need for sure
Is a big love with the power to make more
I am living because I keep it all and keep it all inside
Yeah I keep it all and keep it all inside
Yeah I keep it all and keep it all inside
I know I'm close to the fall
I know I'm dangerous
I'm afraid I'm going down
Hey hey
I blame my family
Their damage is living in me
I am sick inside and tired of my life
All I need I swear
Is to go out with the power of a nightmare
I am living because I keep it all and keep it all inside
I keep it all and keep it all inside
Yeah I keep it all and keep it all inside
I know I'm close to the fall
I know I'm dangerous
I know I'm not going down alone
Yeah
Hey hey
Ahh
Yeah I keep it all and keep it all inside
Whoa I keep it all and keep it all inside
I know I'm close to the fall
I know I'm dangerous
I know I'm not going down alone
I'm not going down alone
I know
I’m not going down alone
I know
I’m not going down alone
I know
The Laughing World
Right now
Day one
I fall soft
When I fall I always fall on
Face first
Head down
Eyes closed
Arms out to break my fall
We fall down
Like a world of noise
We get lost inside the length of our own time
And the laughing world will never forget
When you jam that I jet
I jet
I see
I want
I reach
I fail to hold the things that I need
I turn out
Reach for you
I want to touch our life before it fades
Like a burning car in the sun
We flame for the all in plain view
And the laughing world will never forget
When you jam that I jet
I jet (8x)
Ohhh
Go
Hey yeah
The laughing world will never let you go
The laughing world will never forget (3x)
When you jam that I jet
I jet (30x)
Fire Maple Song
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
Lay between the sheets
We lie underneath the maple tree
Now I can't smile
Lying down 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 lay in the grass all summer
Just to watch the autumn come around
I can't smile
I can't smile
Yeah yeah yeah yeah ah
I live alone
And you're so far away
Yeah I call you every 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 house in North Carolina
And lay in the backyard
Get drunk and let the leaves just bury me
Bury me
I can't smile
I can't smile
I don't know what's happening
I don't know what's happened to me
I can't smile
Pennsylvania Is…
Jackson met a girl
In a valley town
They fell into a teenage love she'd grow to hate
He's in prison now
Since he beat her down
He got her pregnant and she made it go away
Hey hey hey hey
Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania
I got a card today
From a girl I know
She used to live alone in Philadelphia
She had to leave the state
For a choice she made
She says she feels just like a hostage in her home
Hey hey hey hey
Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania
You can close your eyes
You can fall and die
You can make your laws and make it go away
You can close your eyes
But you can't make it go away
Yeah you can't make it go away
I just got a call
From my uncle Mike
He said he left his wife
And he's not going back
Said she changed her mind
About a desire child
I asked him if he wants a place mat or a wife
Hey hey hey hey
Pennsylvania
Yeah yeah
Pennsylvania is wrong
Hey hey
Whoa whoa whoa
Nervous & Weird
You know I want to be
The way you want me to
Big hearted and tall enough to cover you
I would break in half
If you said it out loud
Splinter out of myself
Just like mercury
I think it's better now
Than how it used to be
You were lying in bed
And I would levitate
I think it's better here
Than where we used to be
I wish I could go out into the Oregon sun
To be alive in the day
I would smile at everyone
I remember you
Back in '83
You were dressing insane
You were my everything
You were so different
From all those other girls
A blind electra in drag
So cool and casually lame
I think I'm better now than how I used to be
Always nervous and weird
Scared most of the time
I think it's better now
Than how it used to be
Always up in the night
Afraid to live in the day
Afraid of being afraid
Afraid to live in the day
Afraid of being afraid
Yeah
Now I sit alone
When you're not around
I read aloud
Just to hear a friendly voice
I see you scary dolls
They always look at me
From the corner of my eyes
I see them shake their heads
You know I want to be
The way you me to
Big hearted and tall enough to cover you
You know I want to be
The way you me to
I wish I could go
Out just to be alive in the day
To be alive in the day
To be alive in the day
To be alive in the day
Malevolent
Maybe I went too far this time
I just go crazy
When she says no
Angel turns away
Pulls her dress back down
Slowly washes her face
Takes the bus to her job downtown
She said
I’m okay
Don't worry about me
Now she thinks to herself
"Hey what happened to me?"
I told him that I thought it was over
Told him that I wanted to leave
He used to touch me so nice
Yeah when we first met
I never dreamed he would hit me
I never dreamed he would hold me down
She said
Don't worry about me
I won't worry about you
I don't want to be friends
She said
I'm okay
Just leave me alone
Just leave me alone
She said
Don't worry about me
I won't worry about you
I don’t I don’t I don’t
She said
I'm okay
Don't worry about me
No I don't want to be friends
Just leave me alone (6x)
Don't worry about me
Don't worry about me
Sparkle
I remember when you
Seemed real
Shiny with the sweat of your voice
Shaky hands
Super loud and teenage mouth
We were all charmed and taken by your talk
Now I shudder when I hear the rhythm of your walk
Now I've got no place to go
I've got no place to go
I've got no one
Nowhere
No one
I have given up on the sparkle that I saw in you
Yeah, I have sinned the sin of wanting more
The belly fire pulls the spirit from the corporate
Whore I'm embarrassed by the plaid you wear
If I were you
I'd hide behind that stupid bleach blonde hair
Now I've got no place to go
I've got no place to go
I've got no one
Nowhere
No one
I have given up on the sparkle that I saw in you
Yeah, that simple minded sparkle that I thought I saw
Ah (7x)
Whoa, I wondered why you changed
I liked it when you were super loud
Whoa, I wondered why you changed
I liked it when you were super loud
Now I've got nowhere to go
I've got no place to go
I've got no one
Nowhere
No one
I've got no place to go
I've got no place to go
I've got no one
Nowhere
No one
Nowhere
No one
Given up and given in
Tell me why you're giving in
Trust Fund
I know a couple who are in love living in the best of times
A truer blue love you will never know
Right next to a pain they'll never realize
Sheltered from it in a loving glow
Young and happy and oh-so politically correct
Just get it if you need it now
Just buy it if you need it in your life
Don't you worry if it all runs out
Don't worry because it never will
I know a young girl living in the shadow of
The kind of life that she could never make
She takes it all and gives it back in love
To handsome artists in her native state
She is the angel of the loser and the disenchanted soul
Just get it if you need it now
Just smile if it makes you happy
Don't you worry if it all runs out
Don't worry because it never will
Hey (19x)
Just give if it you need it now
Just give it if it makes you happy
Don’t worry if it all runs out
I know a couple who are in love living in the best of times
Loser Makes Good
I hate waking up
It means that I have to die again tonight
35 years old
I'm still sleeping outside
Yeah, I think I know your face
I don't wanna know your name
I won't give in
I'm not like that
I won't give in
You say it's Christmas Eve
That don't mean nothing to me
Just another fucked up day
Just another waste of time
You wonder why I live like this
Man, you just won't understand
I won't give in
I'm not like that
Yeah, I won't give in
Ay ay ay yeah yeah
Ay ay ay yeah yeah
Ay ay
You smart ass college fuck
Act like you think you're tall
I was just like you
More pride than you could know
Think you pity me
I'll kick your ass if you pity me
I won't give in
I'm not like that
No, I won't give in to you
Ay ay ay yeah yeah
Ay ay ay yeah yeah
Ay ay ay yeah yeah
Ay ay
Just go away
You college boy
Act like you think you're tall
I won't give in
I'm not like that
No, I won't give in
Invisible
I will live
I will live
Maybe for a year or two
Maybe for a year
I will die
Yes, I will die
I can rest secure in that
I am awful sure
That this thing ain't no accident
And I just can't believe
That AIDS is just some act of God
I will reach for you
I will reach my hand
No one will reach for me
No one will touch my skin
Yes, I will accept
I will accept my pain
I don't deserve to die like this
No one deserves to die like this
Hey I get so mad
I just want to break the world
Sometimes I get so mad
I just want to break the world
Break the world
I will not be denied
I will not be ignored
I am not invisible anymore
I will not be denied
I will not be ignored
I’m real
I won't go away
I am not invisible anymore
Yeah I get so mad
I just want to break the world
Yeah I get so mad I just want to break the world
Break the world (6x)
Evergleam
Evergleam and I know why
God is good and Jesus loves me
Heaven lives and I know where
Sounds to me a not so easy chair
Falling free and living down
Stringing out and over and happy
Evergleam and I know why
It isn't real
And I'm not going to break
I’m not going to break
Don't die
Don't give in to it
No way (3x)
Please don't leave me
Evergleam and I know how
Pulling hair and breaking voices
Spin the wheel it will give you now
Spinning wills don't give you choices
Take away the spark inside
You take away the shining prize
Evergleam and I know how
It isn't real
And I'm not going to break
I'm not going to break
No way I'm not gonna break (3x)
No way (2x)
No way I’m not gonna break
I’m not gonna break (3x)
No way (3x)
Evergleam
Everywhere
Ever weird
Everyone
Evergleam
Everywhere
Evergleam
I’m not going away
Not going away
Not going away
I’ll see you there
I’m not going away
No way (3x)
It’s not real
No way I’m never gonna break
No way |
