When I was a movie star an asteroid had hit the earth and prematurely ended my
career.
I thought out loud but no one heard me saying: 

“nothing isn't nothing nothing's something that's important to me.
That's right.
And everyone's a little nothing that's ok that's how it should be.” 

That's right. 
That's right - sha sha. sha doo 

When I was an astronaut I bought a fancy charm. 
I thought you'd like it but you called it cheap and at my feet it fell like: 

“so sue me its up to me if I decide to be what I think is right.
And don't bother me when I'm watching Planet of the Apes on TV.” 

that's right, that's how it should be - sha sha. sha doo 

“so sue me its up to me if I decide to be what I think is right. 
The sound it found the ground and it hid it for free.”

Forcefield, supershield, AA. 
Junior high love affair is OK. 
Jump on the big wagon 'cause I'm SoCal. 
I'm big in every way. 
I'm running as fast as I can. 
She goes above and beyond her call of duty. 
She is a slut but her ex thinks it's sexy. 
Sex reminds her of eating spaghetti. 
I am wasted, but I'm ready. 
If you want to move it so, why don't you make it go? 
Prove it to everybody who doesn't understand. 
All the nights, all the fights, you are out of sight. 
Some say more with their hands. 
I'm running as fast as I can. 
She goes above and beyond her call of duty. 
She is a slut but her ex thinks it's sexy. 
Sex reminds her of eating spaghetti. 
I am wasted, but I'm ready. 
I am wasted, but I'm ready. 
I am wasted, but I'm ready. 
I'm running as fast as I can. 
I'm running as fast as I can. 
Why am I dealing with this feeling? 
I'm maxed out like a credit card. 
I'll continue to be my worst enemy. 
It's easy, but it seems so hard. 
You're near but you seem so far. 
She goes above and beyond her call of duty. 
She is a slut but her ex thinks it's sexy. 
Sex reminds her of eating spaghetti. 
I am wasted, but I'm ready. 
She goes above and beyond her call of duty. 
She is a slut but her ex thinks it's sexy. 
Sex reminds her of eating spaghetti. 
I am wasted, but I'm ready. 
I am wasted, but I'm ready. 
I am wasted, but I'm ready. 
I am wasted, but I'm ready. 
I'm running as fast as I can. 
I'm running as fast as I can. 
I'm running as fast as I can.

Bop bop. 

Care about the moonlight 
and holding you tight 
and asking my questions. 
Everyone loves a situation. 

Long walks on the beach. 
The press will impeach. 
Lately I'm finding 
I am the book and you are the binding. 

I gues they'll read everything about you. 
Though the press miht shoot me down I'm still true. 
I sell my book for free. That's what you do to me. 

Oh, you are my family tree. 
Be good to me 
Take care of me. 

Bop bop. 

There's hotels in the sea, 
Trash in the sky, 
The net-dustry's growing. 
Stick to love songs kid, that's all you're knowing. 

They push you away 
or tie you up. 
It don't really matter. 
But if your head is up you won't get much sadder. 

But who am I to preach a word or two 
when I can't even lift my own head without you? 
In my mental state kept you from coming around 
I hope the world would shoot me down for losing you. 
A broken branch I'd be if you weren't grown to me. 

Oh, you are my family tree 
Be good to me 
Be good to me 
Be god to me 
Take care of me.

I got a bad flavour 
I got dirty cloths 
I got a strange neighbour who doesn't have curtains on her windows 

I got a pet hedge hog 
Drinkin' jager all day 
You got me Crate combo and a baby on the way but its ok 

It's gonna take alot of time before I can cross that finish line 
And when I can't take the fall I really wanna make that call. 

ooh ooh ooh ooh ah ah ah 

That's my new best friend 
Ann disaster's her name 
We're passin' out on the carpet and our attributes are the same 

It's the slacker life style 
That we do so well 
Bills are due on Monday I'm oblivous cant you tell 

It's gonna take alot of time before I can cross that finish line 
And when I can't take the fall I really wanna make that call. 

My brain is super fried it involves pain to look inside 

It's gonna take alot of time before I can cross that finish line 

. . .



Another night slips away 
In other words I should say 
There are no words he should say 
There are no words 

In his eyes I see the fear 
That only time could DISAPPEAR 
If only time could reappear 
Now's the time 

Somethin' to take it away to take it away to take it 
Don't let it stay don't let it stay don't let it 

The butterflys are passive aggresive and put their problems on the shelf but
they're beautiful 
He'll realize the only thing thats real are the kids that kid themselves and the
demise of the beautiful 
What is beautiful? 

The multi-life is better than 
The one we're in the one we knew 
Cause everyone is seein' through everyone 

They're steppin' on 
His gold terrain 
He's movin' on with bold refrain 
His blatently old campaign 
Is movin' on 

Somethin' to take it away to take it away to take it 
Don't let it stay don't let it stay don't let it 

The butterflys are passive aggresive and put their problems on the shelf but
they're beautiful 
He'll realize the only thing thats real are the kids that kid themselves and the
demise of the beautiful 
What is beautiful? 

What can't stay goes away 


. . .



Sometimes I wonder 
If you're still here
Lookin' out for anything that could fall and hit your head 

Fluorescent lights burn out in time dear 
We see world in a different light
Did you give up? 

Love ain't supposed to be this bad, make you cry mega ultra sad.
If I told you you're all I ever had 
Would you walk on me? I wouldn't walk on you 

If I was in your shoes
I wouldn't walk all over you 
So please don't walk all
I wouldn't walk all over you 
So please don't walk all over me 

Right now I feel like its all ending spit me out sell me cheap 
You'll never ever ever ever ever teach me to fly 

In the sky it's early and still mornin' 
All those smiles you made wanted to cry cause you gave up 

Love ain't supposed to be this bad, make you cry stupid shady sad.
If I told you you're all I ever had would you walk on me? 
I wouldn't walk on you

If I was in your shoes
I wouldn't walk all over you
So please don't walk all over me.
If I was in your shoes
I wouldn't walk all over you

. . .



I need a new direction to get me around. 
You don't have protection as you're coming down. 

Light my white candle keep me safe. 
It'll put that smile back on my face. ya. 

Have you made up your mind? 
It's the only way. 
Have you made it up? Have you made it up? 
I admire the time that you take. 
Have you made it up? Have you made it up? 

I still think we should meditate. 

I need a good luck charm to give me good luck. 
I need a good alarm to wake me up. 

Light my white candle keep me safe. 
It'll put that smile back on my face. ya. 

Have you made up your mind? 
Its the only way. 
Have you made it up? Have you made it up? 
I admire the time that you take. 
Have you made it up? Have you made it up? 

You don't tell me about what's going on. 
Fucking make up your mind, stop dragging it on. 
They're only words, they don't hurt. 

We can't even look into our eyes. 
We're not the same inside. 
We can let it change our lives can braid. 
We're constantly afraid. 

We can't even look into our eyes. 
We're not the same inside. 
Go sing your songs, try something new. 
I hope you find whats right for you. 
Have you made it up? Have you made it? 

Have you made up your mind? 
Its the only way. 
Have you made it up? Have you made it up? 
I admire the time that you take. 
Have you made it up? Have you made it up?

Let me get lost 
I'll drive you around till I run out of gas 
Find me a boss 
There's ripples in my tea cause 
There's earthquakes coming 

And there's people meeting on mars 
And people driving in their cars 
And kids laughing under the stars 
Today 

Let me go find 
Find a box to put BK inside 
I use it so well 
Blowing shit up 
Only you could tell 

When there's people meeting on mars 
And people crashing in their cars 
And kids kissing under the stars 
Today 

No reason, reason 
There's no reason, reason 
There's no reason, reason 
There's no reason to cry 

Reason, reason 
There's no reason, reason 
There's no reason, reason 
There's no reason to say goodbye 

I'm going against 
Every person that I once walked with 
Things are happening 
My cat is sleeping 
And my cherry tree's dying. 

And there's people meeting on mars 
And people driving in their cars 
And kids laughing under the stars 
Today 

No reason, reason 
There's no reason, reason 
There's no reason, reason 
There's no reason to cry 

Reason, reason 
There's no reason, reason 
There's no reason, reason

I don't stand a chance in this fucked up world 
New school romance and I messed it up real fast 
But your brand new eyes 
Shrink me to a size 
Make it hard to see, my reality 

You say I'm blind 
I think you're wrong 
Harriet's got a song 
When we combine 
Nothing goes wrong 
Harriet's got a song 

Scare myself sometimes 
Read between the lie 
Had to let me know 
It'll be alright 
Watch me dive right in 
To the shallow end 
Won't you be my friend 
Won't you be my neighbor 

You say I'm blind 
I think you're wrong 
Harriet's got a song 
When we combine 
Nothing goes wrong 
Harriet's got a song 

Dododododododododododo 
Ooooooooo 
Let's go 

Going off of me 
Not only can I see 
Memorize your scent 
Everywhere you went 
Join our wicked church 
Blaze a saddle birch 
Everywhere you go 
100 percent 

You say I'm blind 
I think you're wrong 
Harriet's got a song 
When we collide 
Nothing goes wrong 
Harriet's got a song 

. . .



Wind is cold alright back in Dallas. The neon light 
from the building lets you know you're home. 
You'd go way back when if you wanted to be my 
friend or you'd call me . I'd understand, it's true. 

I don't feel like i'm falling. 
No, I don't feel like i'm falling 
No, I don't feel like i'm falling down. 
Just say "hello" to the ground. 

Ba ba ba ba ba ba 

Wait there, I'll be right back. Down in Times Square 
it's a heart attack. All the feeling makes you feel so new. 
Trees fall and so do men. Even the walls start caving 
in and you feel like there's no pretend for you. 

But I don't feel like I'm falling. 
No, I don't feel like I'm falling 
No, I don't feel like I'm falling down. 
Just say "hello" to the ground. 

We could talk if days weren't so fast, 
and mistakes just leave it so unsure. 
Wanna hold you like never before 
'cause we're falling and I love you more and more. 

Do you feel like you're falling down? 
Do you feel like you're falling down? 
I don't feel like I'm falling-falling-falling down. 

I don't feel like i'm falling. 
No, I don't feel like I'm falling 
No, I don't feel like I'm falling down.
