Never Friends
03:44

Is it too soon?
Too soon to drunk-dial someone at noon?
Or should I give it a day or two?
What would Satan do?
The second time
The second time we had a fight
It lasted the better part of my life
Now I won't drive you crazy any more
Who am I?
I could have been anyone
And we'd have wound up here in the end
'Cause you and I
We don't have any fun
And why should I think we would when we were never friends?
Sometimes
Sometimes you got to be a fuckin' prick
To get you message across this thick-ass wall
They call a "friendly chat"
You bust my balls and then you break my back
It must be nice to be so unattached and fine
You're always on your mind
You've got an attitude they can't unwind
And why would they try?
Who am I?
I could have been anyone
And we'd have wound up here in the end
But you and I
We don't have any fun
And why should I think we should when we were never friends?
Never friends
Me and you, we were never friends
Me and you, we were never friends
No we were never friends, we were never friends
We were never friends no
Never friends.
Me and you we were never friends.
Me and you we were never friends.
We were never friends
We were never friends
We were never friends, we were not
Like autumn trees that shed their leaves
We'll get them back next spring
Won't feel a thing
Some days we'll grieve, some dreams we'll leave
But we will never miss them
Never miss them
Never miss them
Never miss them

I know you think I'm here just 'cause I'm stalking you
But I'm also here to show my deep deep deep deep deep deep deep respects
In loving memory of what's-his-name
Oh Christ I've done it, I've gone and offended all the guests
All those mistakes that we'd re-take
We couldn't if we liked
I know it's sad
I wish I had
The chance to make things right
But we've lost this one
What have we done?
And now it can never be again
This weekend I went to your party Friday
But in retrospect I should have been alone
All the girls just asked me Java questions
Java nice car?
Java good job?
Java big home?
Why do they treat me like I've got no feelings
Well I've got feelings but they're all a little wrong
All those mistakes that we'd re-take
We couldn't if we liked
I know it's sad
I wish I had
The chance to make things right
We've lost this one
What have we done?
And now it can never be again
But I feel it, like you do
And I feel it, like you do
I feel it like you do
I can feel it
I got to say that it's been awesome seeing ya
Although you've changed since you've been hanging with the goths
Cause you're not from Transylvania, you're from Pennsylvania
And the difference is apparent in your clogs
Don't tale about your music in the past tense
And if things don't go well, stop and cut the loss
Don't sing songs in a bad fake southern accent
Never tell them that you're bigger than the Sox
All those mistakes that we'd re-take
We couldn't if we liked
I know it's sad
I wish I had
A chance to make things right
We've lost this one
What have we done?
And now it can never be again

You Already Know

I take this as a good sign it’s on the mend
It’s their money and their ice but we brought the fans
You watch a show of the lunar eclipse and then you
Tell your kids to go to sleep well
Some dudes are the worst when it comes to this
I would tell you but you already know
Why can’t we just leave it alone?
I would tell you but you already know yeah
Why can’t we just leave it alone?
I don’t like the way you look at me sometimes
I told you before I’ll tell you one more time yeah one more time
I would tell you but you already know
Why can’t we just leave it alone?
I would tell you but you already know yeah
Why can’t we just leave it alone?

Mostly Water
02:23
|
|||
|
It's a lie
A plan to make nothing feel right
Everything dies it's true
There's some things that just stick with you
That you can't undo
I know
That you're mostly water but still
There's something about the way that you feel
That belies it
And it's true
That you're mostly water but you
The water is a flame to the fuel
Breaking hearts
Through the windows of subway cars
Stand clear of the closing doors
Stealing souls
On summer strolls
I know
That you're mostly water but still
There's something about the way that you feel
Belies it
And it's true
That you're mostly water but you
The water is a flame to the fuel
It's a lie
A plan to make nothing feel right
Everything dies it's true
There's some things that just stick with you
That you can't undo
I know
That you're mostly water but still
There's something about the way that you feel
That belies it
And it's true
That you're mostly water but you
The water is a flame to the fuel
And I know
That you're mostly water but still
There's something about the way that you feel
That belies it
And it sucks
But it didn't used to bother me much
It was water off the back of a duck

I remember you cut you hair
'Cause you were sick of the way that they stared
You tried to make yourself plain
It didn't work and they still looked the same
I was just a lonely kid
I'd never dealt with the things that you did
You explained it was different for me
That you were something that I'd never be
I hate hate hated the way that it felt
The push from inside
And I'd wait wait wait
For the change of my life
I hate hate hated the way that it felt
The push from inside
From May to September
I's wait wait wait
And now I remember
I cut my hair
I didn't want them to think that I cared
I made my own little change
It didn't work and I still looked the same
You explained it was different for me
That you were something that I'd never be
My insides sank to the ground
The memory still pains me now
I hate hate hated the way that it felt
The push from inside
And I'd wait wait wait
For the change of my life
I hate hate hated the way that it felt
The push from inside
I remember the things that you said
I remember the things that you said
I remember the things that you said
I remember the things that you said
I remember the things that you said
I remember the things that you said
I remember the things that you said
I remember the things that you said
I remember the things that you said

Not Sorry
03:37
|

|
Go, if you think I’m coming on too strong
No, you know I won’t admit that I was wrong
When, when I grow up I wanna be right
I don’t care if you don’t wanna know
Don’t, don’t try and stop me running on
Just, just try and run me outta town
One good turn deserves another
I take a bite and drink up all your time
You, you look at me like I’m a Frankenstein
You, you flick your torches like a cigarette
I don’t care if you don’t wanna know
Don’t, don’t try and stop me running on
Just, just try and run me outta town
One good turn deserves another
I know you think you heard it all before
Well, I think that you could stand to hear some more
You, you had enough when I say so
I don’t care if you don’t wanna know
Don’t, don’t try and stop me running on
Just try and run me outta town
One good turn deserves another
And I’m not sorry
And I’m not sorry
And I’m not sorry
And I’m not sorry

I Think It's Funny
02:27
|

Well I think it's funny, but I know it's not funny
At least they say it's not funny 'til someone gets hurt
Come on it's not a big deal
I fucked up the meal
I made an action painting all down your shirt
And I know you're perturbed
But if you use your words
I bet the waiter might still let us order dessert
And now I've learned that you're not impressed by my little sing-song
And all of your texts read like titles of Prince songs
And noone has to know that we're on drugs
Well I think it's funny, but I know it's not funny
At least they say it's not funny 'til someone gets hurt
And maybe now that we're there I should act like I care
But baby I know that you're not the sensitive sort
But you're offended by emails from females that I receive
Baby get off your high horse and get on the (T)
I know you could care less about my magnum opus
And all of our friends are passed out on the sofa
So no one has to know that we're on drugs
Well I think it's funny, but I know it's not funny
At least they say it's not funny 'til the pain is past
And now that it's gone and we've both moved on
It's pretty clear that love like ours wasn't meant to last
But I recall that you weren't impressed by my little sing-song
And now all my texts read like titles of Prince songs
And no one has to know that we were in love
We were in love
We were in love
We were in love

I want to be with you
For a thousand years
Long after all this disappears
And when we emerge
After all those years
Then we will rule over the earth
Just like you said it would be
Just like you said it would be
Just like you said it would be
I remember when this used to be an outdoor market
Long before the bombs went off and nightly air raids started
There were grocery stores and restaurants and public parks
You could use a mobile phone or you could go out after dark
Now the broken sidewalk is a spider's web of power wires
Someone's ruuning down the street with all their clothes on fire
We don't bother learning people's names to call them by
And we don't talk that much, just try to find a place to hide
I've got secretive plans for us
But I need your unfailing trust
I want to be with you
For a thousand years
Long after all this disappears
And when we emerge
After all those years
Then we will rule over the earth
Just like you said it would be
Just like you said it would be
Just like you said it would be
We went out this morning
We barely made it back
That dumpster hiding place
Was all that kept our skulls intact
Now we've been living in the tunnel in a burned out van
Making cutlery from credit cards and coffee cans
Someone told me about Atlanta
And then heard about LA
It never crossed our minds that someday we would share their fate
That burning Citibank is belching bills into the sky
And its alarm's been going constantly for seven nights
I've got secretive plans for us
But I need your unfailing trust
I want to be with you
For a thousand years
Long after all this disappears
And when we emerge
After all those years
Then we will rule over the earth
Just like you said it would be
Just like you said it would be
Just like you said it would be

The Risk-All Mission
03:25
|
|||
|
I was only forty two, and I
I didn't know what to do, and I
I wish I could know what I knew
They always say, "live life with no regrets"
I wish I'd thought of that before I left
So many minds I've been in about the doubt, the indecision
So many times I've been afraid to take the risk-all mission
The one in control of the leash
Is the one that cares the least
They always say, "live life with no regrets"
I wish I'd thought of that before I left
So many minds I've been in about the doubt, the indecision
So many times I've been afraid to take the risk-all mission
So many minds I've been in about the doubt, the indecision
So many times I've been afraid to take the risk-all mission
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I don't know
I don't know
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I don't know
I don't know
Oh oh oh oh
They always say, "live life with no regrets"
I wish I'd thought of that before I left
So many minds I've been in about the doubt, the indecision
So many times I've been afraid to take the risk-all mission
So many minds I've been in about the doubt, the indecision
So many times I've been afraid to take the risk-all mission

No one told you it would be OK
And it turns out they were right
It wasn't omission
It wasn't an error or an oversight
The world has never taken kindly
To an insolent and wily
Misanthropic and misunderstood kid
But they're not angry with you 'cause you refuse to conform
They're angry with themselves because they already did
Someday they will
One day they will
Someday they'll die
It all slowed down
Every time you came around
It's easy to see
It's so easy to see now
That I trusted you without grounds
And you can steal my heart
And you can steal my car
And I gave you my keys so you can take what you want
'Cause you're a true friend
And I know a true friend
Because a true friend's the one who stabs you in the front
Someday they will
One day they will
Someday they'll die
They've got to die some time
They've got to die some time
They've got to die some time
They've got to die some time
They've got to die some time
They've got to die some time
They've got to die some time
They've got to die some time
They've got to die some time, die!

Alligator with my name on it
Alligator
Those pearly whites
Smile so big
Lying low
It’s an alligator with my name on it
Not a crocodile
Or a manatee
An alligator an alligator
It’s comin’ again!
Gonna bite ya!
Make a bag from your skin
And some shoes that go so nice
Alligator
Alligator
Those pearly whites
Smile so big
An alligator
Gonna suck you in
Lookout!
