Our Lady Peace 1997 Sony Music Canada all words by Raine Maida 1. Superman's Dead: Do you worry that you're not liked How long till you break You're happy cause you smile But how much can you fake An ordinary boy an ordinary name But ordinary's just not good enough today Chorus: Alone I'm thinking Why is superman dead Is it in my head We'll just laugh instead You worry about the weather and Whether or not you should hate Are you worried about your faith Kneel down and obey You're happy you're in love You need someone to hate An ordinary girl an ordinary waist But ordinary's just not good enough today (Chorus) Doesn't anybody ever know that the world's a subway... 2. Automatic Flowers: And Sara thinks she's died here once before She's crazy A pop-up book of flowers from grade 4 Are driving her insane No-one knows why She's sad tonight No-one can help her find Chorus: Crying, she couldn't afford the view Crying, these automatic flowers won't do Another brick Another window frames the confusion Her garden blooms but Sara can't see straight She's drinking herself blind No-one knows why She's stares outside No-one can help her find (Chorus) She never admitted She never considered That she'd always be better She's wasting all her time... (Chorus) 3. Carnival: You know you're not a strong man And you're just about to cry Hang on it's alright You worry about the future The sign said "yoga class for cats" It's okay... Chorus: You're frustrated by the cracks in The pavement And every mother's back Once again The carnival closed down But if this world ever turns around You'll be there when everyone is sane The dynamite is waiting They bankrupted the sky It's okay... (Chorus) Break your mother's back If you step on the cracks When everyone is... (Chorus) 4. Big Dumb Rocket: I've never seen your breath before But I'm disgusted by the thought of Waiting anymore If I look up in your eyes Will you notice me or notice it or Fade into this accident Chorus: I don't want to find The big dumb rocket on your mind It's mostly you and mostly me And a tired gun that's not empty I've never been this sad before But I'm disgusted by my fingertips And what they've done If I look into your eyes If it must be true you must believe I've never held such violent things (Chorus) I've never talked to God before tonight But I'm disgusted by... (Chorus) 5. 4 am: I walked around my good intentions And found that there were none I blame my father for the wasted years We hardly talked I never thought I would forget this hate Then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong Chorus: If I don't make it known that I've loved you all along Just like sunny days that We ignore because We're all dumb and jaded And I hope to God I figure out what's wrong I walked around my room not thinking Just sinking in this box I blame myself for being too much Like somebody else I never thought I would just bend this way (Chorus) And I hope to God I figure out what's wrong (Chorus) 6. Shaking: So... you fucked this up again It's time for you to leave You never had many friends And you thought this was alright You're rushing to meditate You should eat but probably wait You never thought of yourself Chorus: Why are you shaking Why are you right When I will be the only one who gives And lets you in tonight Walk you could never walk away From this speedfreak collagen Caffinated place You were always reaching in Looking for somewhere to go Nobody needs to find out Nobody needs to know what you know (Chorus) So you wonder about the past When you know that its already been Nothing seems to last Can it last will it last (Chorus) 7. Clumsy: Throw away the radio suitcase keeps you awake hide the telephone, telephone, telephone in case, you realize that sometimes you're just not okay You level off level off you level off, but its not allright now You need to understand There's nothing strange about this You need to know your friends You need to know that: Chorus: I'll be waving my hand watching you drown watching you scream, quiet or loud and maybe you should sleep and maybe aybe you just need a friend As clumsy as you've been There's no one laughing You will be safe in here You will be safe in here Throw away this very old shoelace tripped you again Try and shrug it off shrug it off shrug it off It's only skin now You need to understand There's nothing fake about this You need to let me in I'm watching you and I'll be waving my hand watching you drown watching you scream no ones around and maybe you should sleep and maybe you just need a friend as clumsy as youve been.. with no one laughin.. you will be safe in here.. you will be safe in..... I'll be wavin my hand watching you drown watching you scream.. quiet or loud.. and maybe you should sleep and maybe you just need a friend as clumsy as youve been.. and no ones laughing.. you will be safe in here.. you will be safe in here.. you will be safe in here.. ahnnd here.... 8. Hello Oskar: Over there well he's wandering Is Oskar there is Oskar alright Was never cool not allowed to fit He never knew what he liked Over there he's the rubberman A rubber dress with Betty Page eyes Was never cool he'll never settle down He's not allowed to drive He'll build a bridge then walk around Don't ever call him dumb He's not that bright He's just not himself Chorus: I will take you somewhere Somewhere to unwind You're tangled up in all this shit I will make you mine Over there he's a superstar A taximan and a young Einstein Was never cool he'll never settle down He's not allowed to drive He'll build a bridge then walk around Don't ever call him dumb He's not that bright He's just not himself (Chorus) 9. Let You Down: Hey what do you see Its not me not me Why won't you share It's not fair There's a bicycle show Where the bicycle's float And I wouldn't of cared Chorus: I won't be the one who bothers you I won't be the one who lets you down Now that you're there You're not scared Why would you care It's your dream Not theirs There's a cigarette thief Stealing cigarette disease I wish I was there (Chorus) 10. Story of 100 Aisles: Help yourself If you know why you came Cause if you need help she says... There's something I've got saved This is not what you wanted These candy coated fakes This is not what you wanted This is pain Chorus: Anacin, we're stumbling again It's the story of 100 aisles Walk away from simple on a tray Cause if you need help she says... These fancy pills don't rate This is not what you wanted A miracle today This is not what you wanted This is pain (Chorus) Time is not for sale today Time seems so far away You need more than this Depressed come here try this (Chorus) 11. Car Crash: Tired & jaded This road is unsafe Have you been there But time is on your side You're too stubborn to wait Are you listening They want you to know They want you to stay But its too much to take So you're running away Chorus: It's more than I can bear Car crash Ending your day At the side of the road Are you trembling They'll wake up today To the papers that say "Oh well" it was too hard to tell He was swerving they were swerving Much too late (Chorus)
