Something/anything?

I believe if i was all alone,
I would be better off in a world my own
I'd forget i ever knew of you, and this dream every
Night that you put me through
We walk along a hollywood sea
And you dance once again with me

We are close, we are friends
And our love never ends
But in the cold morning light i see
That you won't be back for me

The wound you left is healing and then
It starts itching and i scratch it open again
So the pain comes out and i give in
And indulge my imaginations, whims
We sit and drink victorian tea
And your face wears a smile for me

I was yours, you were mine
Our hearts bound, lost in time
But in the cold morning light i see
That you won`t be back
For me there can be no peace
For me there can be no rest
I believe though i've tried my best
I'm condemned it seems to a life of
Restlessness and broken dreams

Marlene
Marlene, you're the prettiest girl i've ever seen
Do you care for me at all
Marlene, i care for you
And i just don't care who knows it
And i guess that means that i love you
Marlene
Marlene, who'd believe that you're only seventeen
I'm in trouble if your folks get mean
And if they do
Then i don't care if they bust me
And i guess that means that i love you
I don't need no fantasies
Just one thing i need
I you could make it here, marlene
Dear marlene, marlene
Marlene, when i think that it all is just a dream
I remember that your eyes are green
And mine are blue
They will always see each other
And i guess that means that i love you
I don't need realities
Just one thing i need
If you could make it here marlene
Dear marlene, marlene
Marlene, i'm depending on you now
Marlene

Hello, it's me
I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe i think too much but something's wrong
There's something here that doesn't last too long
Maybe i shouldn't think of you as mine

Seeing you
Or seeing anything as much as i do you
I take for granted that you're always there
I take for granted that you just don't care
Sometimes i can't help seeing all the way through

It's important to me that you know you are free
'cause i never want to make you change for me

Think of me
You know that i'd be with you if i could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if i ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think i should

We figure, my daddy and me
Things are still the same, it seems
As when he lived it in his teens as a kid in school
Aaron was a junior, the class of '32
His momma called him angel,
But everybody knew he was the
King king, the gross out king
They called him piss aaron
They always caught him pissin' in the hall
Piss aaron, he never would refuse when nature called

Dumb larry from homeroom 9
Kept his locker full of weeds
Just to satisfy his smoking needs and his love of fire
Went to a game and lit a stink bomb in the bleachers
The coach, the cheer leader, and
The chem teacher, and the
Dean dean, duh dean dean was after
Dumb larry, they always caught him smokin' in the john
Dumb larry, you never would have missed him
When he's gone

Chuck biscuits, conservative-jive
The biggest pig in all the school
He would sit and smack his lips and drool
As he eyed your lunch
I left a bag in his desk one night
A raw egg sandwich and when hungry took a bite
He had to
Up chuck, uh up up-chuck, a'pukin'
Chuck biscuits, they always caught him eatin'
In the class

Excerpts from the early days

(includes "money (that's what i want)")

Love is infectious and i was a victim
The worst case you'd ever see
But still i know no doctor or nurse
Could cure what you gave to me
'cause you

Really, you left me sore
You really left me sore now baby
You messed me up for sure and i don't mean maybe
'cause you really left me sore

You didn't tell me and i didn't ask so there's
Nobody left to blame
But still i know no place i can go
That helps to relieve the pain

But now i know no good ever comes
From love on a one night stand

There's a cloud in the sky and it's raining on you
Still you try to keep dry but your troubles leak through
And you've lost all you could, feeling sad
Choose your reveries
Keep the good, leave the bad
Take a few of these, the sweeter memories
Don't forget them please, the sweeter memories
To set your mind at ease, the truest remedies
Are the sweeter memories
There's a life full of pain and a life full of glee
So you see that the rain doesn't mean much to me
For i know that it pays making light
Of living's tragedies
Make your days be as bright
Take a few of these, the sweeter memories

Weren't you there when the carousel burned down
The fire and confusion, the smoke and the sound
I swear you were there when the carousel burned down
We were all around
The rings charred and tarnished all over the ground
And the heads hung down
And we all left town the next day

The children all cried when the carousel burned down
The old ladies sighed and the carousel burned down
The rest of us lied as the carousel burned down
And the flames did fly
The pipes steamed and shrieked out a blazing goodbye
As the boiler died
And they melted down the midway
And we all left town the next day

Do you remember the last time i said
If i ever thought about lying,
I'd rather think of dying instead
And maybe you remember the last time you called me
To say we were through
How it took a million tears
Just to prove they all were for you
But those days are through

'cause it wouldn't have made any difference,
If you loved me
How could you love me
When it wouldn't really make any difference,
If you really loved me
You just didn't love me

'cause i know of hundreds of times i could be
In the most unfaithful arms that you always picture me
And maybe you remember that
Though i can't always show proof i was true
No one else could change my mind or
Stop me coming home to you
But those days are through

You just did not love me enough to believe me
Enough not to leave me
Enough not to look for a reason to be unhappy with me
And make me regret ever wanting you
But those days are through

Keep your head and everything will be cool
You didn't have to make me feel like a fool
When i try to say i feel the way that i do
I want to talk to you
And make it load and clear
Though you don't care to hear

Couldn't i just tell you the way i feel
I can't keep it bottled up inside
And could we pretend that it's no big deal
And there's really nothing left to hide

Something sure doesn't seem right to me
When you can turn your back whenever you please
And you stroll away and calmly bid me adieu
Why can't i talk with you
And put it in your ear though you don't care to hear

Hear me out
Why don't you lend me an ear
You've got no reason to fear
I'll make it perfectly clear
I love you

I don't come whining with my heart on my sleeve
I'm not a coward if that's what you believe
And i'm not afraid but not ashamed if it's true
I got to talk with you
And then i'll make it clear

You got to ease into line boy
But once i hit the open road
I'll be sailing off and on my own

You and me in my gt
With those little red lights in front of me
When i go to heaven you know that's where i want to be

Would you please fill it up boy
I'd like to stop and catch myself a bite
But i sure hate to leave the road tonight

Instrumental in 3 movements: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear.

And when i'm racing the clock
You know that i would die or kill somebody
Just to move this hunk of steel one more block

Spoken (with mild disdain as one gropes for the
Stick):

I think i see a little red light in my rear view mirror
A terrific case ensues, resulting in many highway
Statistics and ultimately, the realization of the
Desire expressed in the chorus. rip

It's true, yes it's true
I'm as guilty of the sin as you
I lived through it too
And as you can see it didn't hurt me
You must admit, you helped a bit

It takes two to tango
You know i wasn't alone
It takes two to tango
I remember it still
Drink a toast if you will

This is for the girls who just couldn't see
That my only sin was being me
And this one's for the girls and they know who they are
It's so long ago and i don't know

Now i don't recall all the details of the scene at all
But i had a ball
And learned all the games, forgot all the names
You must admit you learned a bit

This is for the girls who couldn't understand
What it's like to try to be a man
And this one's for the girls and they know who they are
It's so long ago and i don't know
I don't claim to know at all
Who was right and who was wrong
I just don't remember all
All the things that were said
What went on in my head
But it's easy to see that i used you and you used me

This is for the girls who think i've done wrong
Could you really hold a grudge that long
And this one's for the girls and they know who they are
It's so long ago and i don't know who you are
