I wanna be a huge star
That hangs out in hotel bars
I wanna wake up at noon
In somebody else’s room

I wanna shine so bright it hurts

I wanna be death bed thin
Never realize the state I’m in
With my head in the clouds
And be followed around by crowds

I wanna shine so bright it hurts
I wanna be high strung
Make people wonder what they’ve done
No one will talk back
Cause you’ll never know
When it might snap

I wanna shine so bright it hurts
I wanna shine so bright it hurts
I wanna shine so bright it hurts


. . .



Depression looms
I’m such a miserable fool
I stay in bed
I don’t wanna got to school
But I see the sun
is beating down
No excuses from the clouds

I should get up
I should get out
I’m sure there’s something
I can’t do without
I should get up
I should get up
I should get up

I’ve heard it said
that life will pass you by
Live underground pretty soon that’s where you lie
But I feel so warm in my room
I’m safe and sound


I should get up
I should get out
I’m sure there’s something
I can’t do without
I should get up
I should get up
I should get up

The world goes on without me
I know it
I know it
No one misses
the quiet kid
And there are things
I may have missed
But living ignorance is bliss
I’m so wrapped up in myself
I got no time for
Everyone else

I should get up
I should get out
I’m sure there’s something
I can’t do without
I should get up
I should get up
I should get up
I should go out
I’m sure there’s something
I can’t do without
I should get up
I should get up
I should get up


. . .



Sat in the corner you could pass for dead
Get up on the floor shake your head

Everybody move it
Everybody move it

If you’d rather be home you can leave right now
This is a party no frowns allowed

Everybody move it
Everybody move it

Bump and grind, have a good time
Free yourself and lose your mind
Now the party’s pumpin and the groove is on
Grab the nearest body and move along
Go to the next if it don’t feel right
But have no fear, get down tonight

Everybody move it
Everybody move it

Bump and grind, have a good time
Free yourself and lose your mind

Everybody move it


. . .



I wish it was over
I wish we were through
I wish when my phone rang
It wasn’t always you

I don’t even like you
Or can’t you tell
Whenever I’m sober
I treat you like hell

I wish it was over
I wish it was over
I wish it was over

If I could be stronger
And not so weak
Instead of just thinking
Maybe I could speak

I don’t think you’re special
You’re certainly not smart
This being together
Is tearing me apart

I wish it was over
I wish it was over
I wish it was over

I wish it was over


. . .



Come rolling into town unaware
Of the power that you have over me
And what am I to do
With hello how are you
Nothing’s ever said that should be

And I don’t care about you
If you don’t care about me
We can go our separate ways
If you want to
The ties of love are strong
But they can be undone
And we’ll go our separate ways
If you want to

I’m turning into me, not you
I can change my mind not my blood
And not all who love are blind
Some of us are just too kind
We forgive too much
And never speak our minds
And I don’t care about you
If you don’t care about me
We can go our separate ways
If you want to
The ties of love are strong
But they can be undone
And we’ll go our separate ways
If you want to

I’m giving up on you
And I’ll turn my heart to something new
And we’ll go our separate ways
If you want to

I stood out in the rain
Holding my breath
Waiting for you
You never came
You broke my heart
You broke my heart
I know who’s to blame
You’re to blame

And I don’t care about you
If you don’t care about me
We can go our separate ways
If you want to
The ties of love are strong
But they can be undone
And we’ll go our separate ways
If you want to


. . .



I might be leaving soon
Away with the new moon
Just wanted to let you know
In case you might be sorry to see me to go

Yeah I must be going now
Train leaves on the hour
Don’t think I’m coming back
I’m just wondering what you think of that
And I saw you in the bar last night
Taking drinks from every guy
Foolish me for thinking we had something

So I guess I’ll move along
Find somewhere else to sing my song
Don’t say it I think I know
You won’t be sorry to see me go


. . .



So far things have been alright
No complaints, oh this is the good life
But sometimes I need more
Just to get up and out the door

I like to live in an altered state
It makes me love all the things I hate
And I’m happy to be alive
Don’t want to come off too straight
I like to put on my happy face
While I cry on the inside

Is it so hard to be happy
That I struggle to feel just ok
And I need a lift just to get through
Just to get up to normal with you

I like to live in an altered state
It makes me love all the things I hate
And I’m happy to be alive
Don’t want to come off too straight laced
While I cry on the inside

Yeah sometimes I need more
Just to get up off the floor

I like to live in an altered state
It makes me love the things I hate
And I’m happy to be alive
Don’t want to come off too straight laced
I like to put on my happy face
While I cry on the inside


. . .



Walking away I feel ashamed
Thinking on what I’ve done
She was naïve and I was a sleaze
Some things can’t be undone

Think again
Don’t give in
This isn’t what you want
Feelings change
Morning brings rain
This isn’t what you want

Hard to believe that I could be
Someone’s idea of love
I should have been out of reach
Baby I’m not that strong

Think again
Don’t give in
This isn’t what you want
Feelings change
This isn’t what you want

I’m here today
But I won’t stay

Oh think again
Don’t give in
This isn’t what you want
Feelings change
Morning brings rain
This isn’t what you want

Think again
Don’t give in
This isn’t what you want
Feelings change
Morning brings rain
This isn’t what you want


. . .



Hey now
That’s enough out of you
I get tired
Just watching your jaw move

People that talk this much
Have nothing to say

You’re so up there
It brings me down
I wanna turn your smile
Into a frown

Being happy is easy if you’re dumb

And I’ve tried to get you out of my life
But you seem to enjoy being used
I’ve lied cheated been unkind
What else can I do?

And living in your world must be fun
With no idea what’s going on
Just thinking you’re the bomb!


. . .



I’m on your back
I’ve got no patience
Defensive stance
It’s just frustration
But it’s no way to be
That’s no way to be
That’s no way to be
You think too much of me
It gives me shivers of responsibility
But that’s no way to be
That’s no way to be
That’s no way to be
Wish it wasn’t me


. . .



Countless lovers,
Six months later he woke up
Got out of bed,
Looked around the room and threw up
Dolce suits, baskets of fruit and money
And your face on TV don’t look
Like you today honey

But you made it
Yeah you made it
Oh you made it
What you gonna do now?

Walk down the street, people you meet think
They own you
They say give me a piece of your life ‘cause I
Feel like I know you
Say, sign my shirt, kiss my cheek, hug me
Well I’ve given you years of my life and I want
You to love me

Yeah you made it
Oh you made it
What you gonna do now?
And oh love
You’re so good lookin’
Oh love
Really cookin’
Oh love
Don’t you ever get
Tired or uninspired

But you made it
Yeah you made it
Oh you made it
What you gonna do now?


. . .



Been away a long time
Come home to ruination
Smoke swirls in blue sky
The mourning of a nation

Stick around if I dare
Or move out to the country
But living in the sticks won’t
Save you from what must be

Keep me from the frontlines
I’m no match for them
Cowardice in wartime
Hear my prayers
Amen

Go ahead and see
What happens to me

Keep me from the frontlines
I’m no match for them
Cowardice in wartime
Hear my prayers
Amen


. . .



These are the words of a frontier lad
Who lost his love when he turned bad

Take a message to Mary
But don't tell her where I am
Take a message to Mary
But don't say I'm in a jam
You can tell her I had to see the world
Tell her that my ship set sail
You can say she better not wait for me
But don't tell her I'm in jail
Don't tell her I'm in jail

Take a message to Mary
But don't tell her what I've done
Please don't mention the stagecoach
and the shot from a careless gun
You can tell her I had to change my plans
and cancel out the wedding day
But please don't mention my lonely cell
where I'm gonna pine away

Take a message to Mary
But don't tell her all you know
My heart's sinking for Mary
Lord knows I miss her so
Just tell her I went to Timbuktu
Tell her I'm searching for gold
You can say she better find someone new
to cherish and to hold
Oh Lord this cell is cold

Mary, Mary

Oh Lord this cell is cold
