Earwig

You're lost beneath the sea
And you didn't wait for me.
You left me here, left me hangin' on.
When I knew you'd drowned,
Did you think I'd wait around?
When I woke up, you were already gone.

You could waste your life feeling lonely
Or you could waste your life feeling pain.
When you carry the weight of one too many yesterdays,
You won't know to come in from the rain.

You dug up your own grave.
You've no life left to save.
You're always saying, saying you can't go on.
Well, I've been beneath the sea
And I couldn't hardly see.
When I woke up, you were already gone.

I've wasted time feeling lonely.
I've wasted half my life feeling pain,
But at least I feel the weight upon my shoulder.
At least I know to come in from the rain.
At least I know to come in from the rain.
You won't know to come in from the rain.

They took it away, they won't put it back.
They made all the water turn to black.
Their deed is washed up on my shore.
It was better the way it was before.
Check out this place I used to go.
None of my children'll ever know...never know.

Something's wrong but it could be right.
It's not like the day turning into night.
I'll tell you about it, I'll take you there.
You think about it, but you don't dare
To act for what we all deserve.
All we need is a little nerve...lot of nerve.

They'd do almost anything if the price was right enough.
Well, I might do anything to clean it up.

Ooo, ooo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
Ooo, ooo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
Ooo, ooo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
Ooo, ooo-ooo.

They took it away, they're not gonna' put it back.
They think they've got me in a trap,
But there's one thing I'm prepared to do
To make this cesspool as good as new.
I'll get my guns and both of my friends.
We'll make some righteous amends...maybe we'll start a trend.

Take it, this cesspool.
Make it good as new.
Take it, this cesspool.
Make it good as new.

'Tis the circle of woe.
Summertime at home.

Somebody gave me this song, I just supplied the links.
I don't like to sit too long, for fear that I might sink.
I don't like to fly too far, for fear that I might fall.
Why can't I be steady, is there no middle ground at all?
All-all, all-all.

I need too much sleep, the days are always hazy.
Maybe I'll wake up some day, or maybe I'll get crazy.
Don't complain, you have it all, all there is is this.
Don't ever blink, just think of what you might miss.
Miss, miss

I have to go vomit now, but my mother isn't calling.
I don't like cliffs or roofs, I'm scared of jumping and falling.
Yesterday was years ago, I don't remember when I grew.
It might stop today, so can I spend the time with you?
You, you. You, you.

When I die, will I get to see everyone crying over me?
When I die, will I get to see everyone crying over me?
Oooooo!
When I die, will I get to see everyone crying over me?

How is it on the inside? They say you can't see the sun.
Do they lock up all the doors at night? Did they take away your farm?
Do they stare at you? Do they make you talk? Do they watch you every hour?
Wish I could hold you up, but I don't have the power.

Will you really be alright?
Promise me you'll sleep tonight.
Get back up off the ground.
Stop falling down.

They're slowly sucking from your bloodstream day by day.
Your eyes are tired and I don't like to look at you that way.
Bodies are walking back and forth. You can hear them moan.
Wish I could give you hope, but I can't do it alone.

Will you really be alright?
Promise me you'll sleep tonight.
Get back up off the ground.
Stop falling down.

Will you really be alright?
Maybe you'll come home tonight.
Get yourself up off the ground.
Stop falling down.

Oh you like so fine in your shaven head.
Not a hairdo but a hat instead.
Your shadow dances on that tv
Like no one did before.
You never look into the camera at me.
You're hiding something for sure.
Ooooh, Steamie Gregg, Steamie Gregg, Steamie Gregg.

Do you dream about me like I think about you?
You know that we'll meet someday.
You like me a lot and I'll move to your town.
We'll live happily forever that way.
Ooooh, Steamie Gregg, Steamie Gregg, Steamie Gregg.

Laugh a little and sing some more.
Your sparkling eyes are only yours.

(Take off)

Not just a wish-bone place to go
And it's not a sunhouse though.
Oooo-oooo-oooo.

Not just a wish-bone place to play
At the end of your working day.
Oooo-oooo-oooo.

Not just a wish-bone place for flight
And a chance for something real this night.

Not just a wish-bone, show you hair,
Hats and picks and cold underwear.

Not just a wish-bone, some airs like mine
People say I'm bound to all the time...oooo.

Not just a wish-bone, find me some fun.
Food and booze for everyone.
Oooo-oooo-oooo.
Oooo-oooo-wah.

Thick as a wooden block, white-walled tire.
Thin as a blade of grass, pointed spire.

From here to Burma, The time it takes to get to you.
From here to Burma, How far it is from me to you.

Black as three a.m., chocolate swirl.
White as milk and snow, mother-of-pearl.

From here to Burma, The time it takes to get to you.
From here to Burma, How far it is from me to you.

Well, you can look down your nose and tell me I'm no good,
But I'm just doing all I can, like I know I should.
Every time I stand, you tell me I should sit.
All the things that I try on, never seem to fit.

It's your way or the highway, either way you win.
I'm about to give up hope for you, you can't come in.

You open your mouth and make a fist before you know the facts.
Maybe you should see your face or look between the cracks.
You think I will respond when you tell me what to do.
I wish we weren't connected, 'cause I'd get along great without you.

It's your way or the highway, either way you're right.
Everything I do is wrong, like sunbathing in the night.

It's your way or the highway, either way you win.
I'm about to give up hope for you, you can't come in.
It's your way or the highway, either way you're right.
I'll never be able to please you, you won't even let me fight.
