Words and music by John Rzeznik

You're cynical and beautiful

You always make a scene

You're monochrome delerious

You're nothing that you seem  

I'm drowning in your vanity

Your laugh is a disease

  You're dirty and you're sweet

You know you're everything to me

  Everything you are

Falls from the sky like a star

Everything you are

Whatever ever you want

I wanna kick at the machine

That made you piss away your dreams

Tear down your defenses

Till there's nothing there but me

You're angry when you're beautiful

Your love is such a tease

I'm drowning in your Dizzy noise

I wanna feel you scream  

Everything you are

Falls from the sky like a star

Everything you are

Whatever ever you want  

Everything you are

Falls from the sky like a star

Everything you are

Whatever ever you want  

Everything you are

Whatever ever you want

Whatever ever you want

Whatever ever you want


Going Up

Slide

Words and music by John Rzeznik

Could you whisper in my ear

the things you wanna feel

I'd give you anything to feel it comin'

Do you wake up on your own?

Wonder where you are?

I live with all your faults  

I wanna wake up where you are

I wont say anything at all

so why dont you slide?

Yeah, we're gonna let it slide  

Dont you love the life you killed?

The priest is on the phone

Your Father hit the wall

Your Ma disowned you  

Dont suppose I'll ever know what it means to be a man

thats something I can't exchange

I'll live around it  

I wanna wake up where you are

I wont say anything at all

so why dont you slide?

Ooh Slide  

And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be

complete

Little pieces of the nothing that call

May, Put your arms around me

What you feel is what you are

and what you are is beautiful

Oh May

Do you wanna get married or run away?  

And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be

complete

little pieces of the nothing that fall

Oh May

Put your arms around me

What you feel is what you are

and what you are is beautiful

Oh May

Do you wanna get married

or run away?  

I wanna wake up where you are

I wont say anything at all  

And I'll do anything you ever

dreamed to be complete

little pieces of the nothing that fall  

And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be

complete

little pieces of the nothing that fall  

oh oh oh May  

why dont you slide in to my room

just slide into my room

& we'll runaway

runaway

runaway


Going Up

Broadway

Words and music by John Rzeznik

Broadway is Dark tonight

A little bit weaker than you used to be

Broadway is dark tonight

see the young man sittin' in the old mans bar

waitin' for his turn to die  

The Cowboy kills the rock star

& Friday night's gone too far

The Dim light hides the years on all the faded girls  

Forgotten but not gone

You drink it off your mind

You talk about the world

like its some place that you've been  

You see you'd love to run home

But you know you ain't got one

'cuz you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten

'round here  

Broadway is dark tonight

Little bit weaker than you used to be

Broadway is dark tonight

See the young man sittin'

In the old mans bar

Waitin' for his turn to die  

You choke down all your anger

Forget your only son

You pray to statues

when you sober up for fun  

You're anger don't impress me

The world slapped in your face

It always rains like hell On the losers day parade  

You see you'd love to run home

but you know you ain't got one

'cuz you're livin in a world that you're best

forgotten

When you're thinkin' you're a joke

and nobody's gonna listen

To the one small point

I know they've been missin' 'round here  

Broadway is dark tonight

little bit weaker than you used to be

see the young man sittin in the old mans bar

waitin' for his turn to die  

You see you'd love to run home

But you know you ain't got one

'cuz you're livin' in a world

that you're best forgotten

And if you're thinkin' you're a joke

Do you think that they'll listen

to the one small point

I know they've been missin' 'round here

'Round here  

Broadway is dark tonight

Little bit weaker than you used to be

Broadway is dark tonight

see the young man sittin'

in the old mans bar

waitin' for his turn to die

Going Up

Black Balloon

Words and music by Johnny Rzeznik

Baby's Black Balloon makes her fly

I almost fell into that hole in your life

Youre never thinking about tomorrow

'cuz you were the same as me

but on your knees  

A thousand other boys could never reach you

How could I have been the one?

I saw the world spin beneath you

and scatter like ice from the spoon

that was your womb  

Comin' down the world turned over

Angels fall without you there

I go on as you get colder

or are you someones prayer?  

you know the lies they always told you

and the love you never knew

It was the things they never showed you

that swallowed the light from the sun

beside your room

yeah

i'm coming down the world turned over

and angels fall without you there

I go on on as you get colder

always someone there  

And theres no time left for losing

when you stand they fall  

Comin' down the world turned over

and angels fall without you there

and i go on as you grown colder  

All because I'm  

Comin' down the years turn over

and angels fall without you there

and I'll go on to lead you home  

all because I'm

all because I'm  

And I'll become what you became to me


Going Up

Bullet Proof

Words and music by Johnny Rzeznik

Do you listen to yourself?

Never live for someone else

Do you like the way you feel?

Nothing hurts when no one's real  

She wants to shake this scene

Yeah she wants to shake with me

She's not looking for the holes in all the lies  

I wanna bullet proof your soul

Would you like to lose control

I won't let you fall until you tell me so  

What are we?

Watcha wanna be?

Everything!

That you wanna be

All I need

Right in front of me

I've know before  

Would you come my way

Or did you burn out to the end

Would you come my way

Should have listened when you called my name    

Yeah she wants to tear you down

And she leaves without a sound

It's like fallin' backwards

Into no one's arms  

You're a bullet through my soul

And I'll never let you know

I wanna let you fall until you let it go  

What are we?

Watcha wanna be?

Everything!

That you wanna be

All I need

Right in front of me

I've know before  

Would you come my way?

Or did you burn out to the end

Would you come my way?

Should have listened when you called my name  

Would you come my way?

Or did you burn out to the end

Would you come my way?  

Should've listened when you called my name

Should've listened when you called my name

Should've listened when you called my name


Going Up

Amigone

Words and music by Robby Takac

Everytime you point your finger

Three more point right back at you

I'm not sayin' that it's something wrong with life

'Cuz that's a sad excuse  

An age old game of rat and mouse

Chasin' us from house to house  

I'm not sayin' that there's something wrong with you

It's wrong with me as well  

Are you alive

Amigone

Miracles gone wrong

Is it to call and tell you to be strong  

Are you alive

Amigone

Miracles gone wrong

Was the poison in our love there all along

  Amigone

Heavenly intoxication

Love's been marred by medication

Ain't it funny how a life can take a turn

When the end is near  

Are you alive

Amigone

Miracles gone wrong

  Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong  

Are you alive

Amigone

Miracles gone wrong

Is it too late to face the truth that it was wrong

Amigone  

I'm not saying that it's something

I'm not gonna play along

I'm not wishin' for a miracle

That miracle's gone wrong

And you're too strong  

Amigone

Miracles gone wrong

Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong Are you alive  

Amigone

It's there all along

Was the poison in our love there all along  

Are you alive

Amigone

Miracles gone wrong

Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong Are you alive  

Amigone

It's there all along

Was the poison in our love there all along Amigone

All Eyes On Me

Words by Johnny Rzeznik

music by The Goo Goo Dolls

Daylight burns you sleepy eyes

and its hard to see you dreaming

you hide inside yourself

and I wonder what you're thinking

And everything you're chasing seems to leave you empty  

An It wont take long to burn

All eyes on me

Through the nothing that you've learned

all eyes on me

and the things you choose to be

all eyes on me  

Just look away

Its so hard to be someone

strung out from today

And all that you knew slips away  

You drown in deeper oceons

inventing new religions

They smile and stab my back and

I lie and have to laugh  

And it wont take long to burnall eyes on me

through the nothing that you've learned

all eyes on me

and the things you choose to be

all eyes on me  

But your eyes look away

its so hard to be someone

Strung out from today

and all that you knew

slips away  

And you hide in your room

'till the lights burn away

and you move from the truth

Its all so far from you

Going Up

Full Forever

Words and music by Robby Takac

And I've had to fight

Another blurred affair tonight

Eyelids wrestle once again

Never gonna see my friend

Guided by the blinding white

Have you left home in spite

Knowing Im alone tonight

Waiting for the light of day

Doesnt matter anyway

Something that I need to say

And I've gone underground

Never hanging around

Should have made it back again

Why can't the moon stay full forever?

Wednesday's bad

but Friday's ain't much better

Someone's hell

Why can't the moon stay full forever

Right now she's got nothin' on her mind

Will this never land

Free me from its clutching hand?

It won't release me

And Ive gone underground

Obsessions I have found

Couldnt make it back again

Why can't the moon stay full forever?

Wednesday's bad

but Friday's ain't much better

Someone's hell

Why can't the moon stay full forever?

Right now she's got nothin' on her mind

Going Up

Acoustic #3

Words and music by John Rzeznik

They painted up your secrets

With the lies they told to you  

And the least they ever gave you

Was the most you ever knew  

And I wonder where these dreams go

'cuz the world gets in your way  

What's the point in all this screaming?

No one's listening anyway  

Your voice is small and fading

And you hide in here unknown

And your mother loves your father

'Cuz she's got nowhere to go

And she wonders where these dreams go

'Cuz the world got in her way

What's the point in ever trying

Nothing's changing anyway  

They press their lips against you

And you love the lies they say

And I've tried so hard to reach you

But you're falling anyway

And you know I see right through you

'cuz the world gets in your way  

What's the point in all this screamin'

You're not listening anyway

Going Up

Iris

Words & Music by John Rzeznik

And I'd give up forever to touch you

'cuz I know that you feel me somehow

Youre the closest to Heaven that I'll ever be

and I dont want to go home right now  

And All I can taste is this moment

And all I can breathe is your life

and sooner or later its over

I just dont wanna miss you tonight  

And I dont want the world to see me

because I dont think that They'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am  

And you cant fight the tears that ain't coming

Or the moment of truth in your lies

When everything feels like the movies

Yeah, you bleed just to know youre alive  

And I dont want the world to see me

because I dont thnk that they'd understand

when everythings made to be broken I just want

you to know who I am

And I dont want the world to see me 'cuz I dont

think that they understand

when everythings made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

i just want you to know who I am

< name="EP">Extra Pale

Words and music by Robby Takac

Extra pale

you're frail now

I shouldn't laugh about it

Tragedy sets you free

but

I should have known it from the start

I should have known that it was

Just another sequel

Just another reason for you

How's your day?

Did it go your way?

but You never ask about it

All the things I wish I'd be

I should have known it from the start

I should have known that it was

Just another sequel

Just another reason for you

Just another sequel

Just another reason for your sighs

Extra pale

you're frail now

I shouldn't laugh about it

Tragedy sets you free

I should have known that it was

Just another sequel

Just another reason for you

Just another sequel

Just another reason for your lies
