SuperStar~Car~Wash

If I could walk a straight mile

Lucky Star

To write it down in shorthand, I could show you

If you want me to

And if I had an hourglass

I'd save the grains of time I spent with you

That's what I'd do

But I remember, you always said it could be great

And I knew it could be

Well there's a way you look at things

That no one needs to know but you

And you'd shout it with me

Like every time the leaves would fall

You promised me that they'd be back again

And I believed in you

You always said it could be great

But I hadn't time to waste

Now it seems that I've gone too far

As bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky

star

Bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star Written down in hard bound books

The way things used to be, they ain't for me

I'd swear they're all for you

We said sugar, gramps said shoot

Her momma said shit, I don't know what she'll do

As if it's up to you

But I remember, you always said it could be great

But I hadn't time to waste

Now it seems that you've gone too far

As bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky

star

Bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star Your lucky star will burn out

Your lucky star can turn you 'round

Your lucky star will burn out

Your lucky star can turn you 'round

Turn you around, turn you around, turn you around

They're gonna turn you around

You whispered in my mouth

Cuz You're Gone

And I spit you words right back

How good do you think I'll look

When the words start to break and crack

You beat your head upon your wall

You disconnect yourself from it all

'Cuz you know that you're so beautiful and so

untouchable

And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know how

No I don't know how

'Cuz you're gone, and you ain't coming back

Yeah you're gone, and you ain't coming back

You held your hand so close

And I just can't push you away

I wished you could be my girl

But you're stuck in your a grown-up world

You beat your head upon your wall

You disconnect yourself from it all

'Cuz you know that you're so beautiful and so

untouchable

And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know how

No I don't know how

'Cuz you're gone, and you ain't coming back

Yeah you're gone, and you ain't coming back

You beat your head upon your wall

You disconnect yourself from it all

'Cuz you know that you're so beautiful and so

untouchable

And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know how

And I don't know how

'Cuz you're gone, and you ain't coming back

Yeah you're gone and you ain't coming back

Yeah you're gone and I wish you'd come back

I called you up all night til mornin'

�Don't Worry

Left my house by noon today and I saw you standing

there

No one spoke

but we both listened

I heard every word you didn't say

And the sun shines all around us

Smells like summer's on the way, and I saw you

standing there

Tell the story of a lifetime

Tomorrow brings a brand new day

Don't worry 'bout today, and the words that you said

Don't worry 'bout today, shake the world from your

head

Least for a while

You see, the day keeps getting longer

But my nights seem longer still, and my TV's off the

air

Watching repeats on my ceiling

Another hour left to kill

Don't worry 'bout today, and the words that you said

Don't worry 'bout today, shake the world from your

head

Least for a while

You changed my face, I think I like it better now

Girl Right Next To Me

It doesn't matter anyhow, 'cuz that's the way it is

You said hello, where the hell you been?

I said I feel like I've been off to war, and I may

never be the same again

I made my bed, but I can't sleep at night

I'm tossin and turnin you know, you know it ain't

right

I'd love to beg ya see but I'm just too proud

And I don't even know what to say so I'm thinking out loud

I ain't there, so I don't care

I lie in my bed, you're running through my head

Going over and over and over, the things that you

said

I'm caught in the trap, I'll run like hell right back to you

'Cuz I'm sober with you and you know it beats

drinking alone

I ain't there so I don't care

I ain't there,so I don't care

I ain't there, so I don't care

She's the girl right next to me

You don't know how bad it is

Domino

If you never had it then

There is nothing like it, well

Needless talk then, I can tell

�Here comes the day, I sit and wait

�Always, always something

��John: Dominoes are

fallin' still

�The bills keep coming, the car ain't running

�Now I'm coming home again

�� John: As I know they always will

�Another day, oh, the mailman's on his way

�Just sit and wait

��

�Always pondering my fate too late

�And then the day goes

�� John: Dominoes

I borrowed from you yesterday

Little fuss that you have made

No one minds I can tell

Seems I've hit the ones you shall, but

�Here comes the day, I sit and wait

�Always, always something

�� John: Dominoes

are falling still

�The bills keep coming, the car ain't running

�Now I'm coming home again

�� John: As I know they always will

�Another day, the mailman's on his way

�Just sit and wait

�� John: Dominoes a test of will

�Always pondering my fate too late

�And then the day goes

�� John: Dominoes

�

�Dominoes are falling still

��Robby:Oh every

day

�As I know they always will �� Robby: I sit

and wait

�Dominoes a test of will

�� Robby: It's

while I'm pondering my fate too late

It's a beautiful day I heard everybody say

The sun shines down for all of us

Just the same you know I like the rain

That ain't so obvious

It's a beautiful sight I guess everybody's right

This day belongs to all of us

Even still I like mine with a chill

That ain't so obvious

It's a beautiful life and I've got it in my sights

And that ain't for all of us

It's a beautiful sound

When my life comes crashin down

That ain't so obvious

It's a beautiful sin and I'm doin' it again

And that ain't for all of us

It's a beautiful life and I've got it in my sights

Ain't that so obvious

I've got no politics, no influential friend or two

I've got ideas, but it's nothing I picked up at

school

I might be running, but I'm never running back to you And here's a letter from the real world, I don't

expect you'll reply

And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another

lie

I had to wait so long that weeks and months that

passed me by

You've got no power and my situation don't apply

You ask me how I am, I lie and say I'm doing fine

And with your sugar sweetend alibi, there was a truth I never knew

And all the attitude you gave me, it's coming back to you

String of lies, it's always compromise with you

String of lies, you know there's nothing better to do String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you

And here's a letter from the real world, I don't

expect you'll reply

And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another

lie

String of lies, we always compromise for you

String of lies, you know there's nothing better to do String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you

String of lies, we always compromise for you

And here's a letter from the real world

�

Another Second Time Around

Happy smilin',cryin' outburst to my past

I guess those stormy gray skies simply couldn't last

And now I find myself a tugging at your dress

The fun of holding you down, or seein' you frown,

it's never gonna pass

Somewhere there's a place a soul can never go

Gray like stormy skies I hoped you didn't know

All our postcards full of things I won't forget

And now it's coming down, that laughing clown is all

I ever get

Another second time around I've been runnin' from ya

Another second, one more second time I waited for ya

I felt like everything was gonna pass

Couldn't help myself

It was an awkward time

I hoped it wouldn't, hoped it couldn't last

And I didn't know exactly what to say

About the things you saw me do my evil way

And I know you're lyin', cryin' in your bed

Well I'm all tired out, so wired now, it's ringing in my head

Another second time around I've been runnin' from ya

Another second, one more second time I waited for ya

You need someone to hold you

Stop the World

You need somethin' that you ain't been getting

I could be the one to tell you what to do, but it

don't mean nothing

And you're holding on forever

But that something just ain't true

'Cause I couldn't stop the world, 'cause I loved you

I couldn't stop the world, and I don't want to

I couldn't stop the world, and I won't

'Cause it ain't enough

You had another bad day

You let me know that you just can't take it

I've given up on you

You live in truth and I know I can't fake it

'Cause the stars you see are on a dirty sidewalk

And they ain't polished and new

If they don't come true

And I know, it's what I'd do

Here I go

'Cause I couldn't stop the world, 'cause I loved you

I couldn't stop the world, and I don't want to

I couldn't stop the world, and I won't

'Cause it ain't enough

I'm not too young for the world

And I can't change for the world

'Cause I don't care for the world

I don't need to stop the world

It don't make sense, the world

Already There

I look outside my window

Everything was blanketed in white

The neighbors pushing cars out

From snow that fell on us last night

Started thinking 'bout

The things we used to do when we were young

Back when things were simple

And getting up was fun

I couldn't care, 'cause I'm already there

I'm already there, and I'm ready there

Turn around and face the clock

I'd sit and watch, as time went hoppin' by

I'm still growing up

My friends are growing old before my eyes

Count the stars above

Wonder when the heavens will subside

Knowing our two worlds

Will someday just collide

I couldn't care, 'cause I'm already there.

I'm already there, and I'm ready there

Just a boy who's young at heart

His smile was a bit like yours today

Had a wife, a kid, some strife

Never had to go astray

Happiness evolved

Life was in full swing

At 17, all the things he wanted

Were things he'd never seen

It don't seem fair, cuz I'm already there

I'm already there, and I'm ready there

On The Lie

He burnt down the house one night

He had a loaded six-pack gun

He said that Jesus Christ was just like a cop

You know, you never know when they'll come

She said every day above ground

Was another dream come true

He said I'd hang and swap clich�s all night

But I'm not in love with you

And I never got serious

'Til everything went black

And I ain't so curious

That I'm ever going back

On the lie

He said, man, you want to be Elvis

I said I ain't dying face down

He said you've got to die facing up in the world

'Cause there's too many holes around

He asked what was wrong with me

He said I looked like a Hollywood girl

I said that Hollywood can fall into the ocean, man

'Cause it's the ugliest place in the whole wide world

And I never got serious

'Til everything went black

And I ain't so curious

That I'm ever going back

On the lie

On the lie, he was

On the lie

On the lie, she was

On the lie

On the lie, he was

On the lie

It's all been a stinkin' lie

Close Your Eyes

I wish I had a saxophone

I'd play the blues 'til you came home

With a little sadness in your eye

Now that all my time was spent

In the walk that heaven sent

Thinking 'bout all the nights you cried

Had a certain passion

And I had surly dreams

A look of vicious actions

Don't close your eyes to me

Oh don't close your eyes to me

Don't close your eyes to me

I wish I had a camera lens

To film the things my mind had said

Before they reached my mouth and got all bad

Looking at the skies of blue

All day long I think of you

Even after all the shit we've been through

Had a certain passion

And I had surly dreams

A look of vicious actions

Don't close your eyes to me

Please don't close your eyes to me

Don't close your eyes to me

Oh don't close your eyes to me

Close your eyes to me

Eyes to me

Close your eyes to me

Don't close your eyes to me

Close your eyes to me

Don't close your eyes to me

Eyes to me

So Far Away

Why do you stare me down

Am I wrong

Should I turn and kiss the ground

And I never felt that way

I ain't the one and you know I don't come from such a place

And I didn't get those things

Things that you can't grow

You say that it's all my fault

And I don't need to know

Tell me something I don't know

And I'll find that I'm always looking 'round behind

You said that it's all been said before

Now I find that there's something I don't know

And I hate your attitude

I ain't scared at all

'Cause it don't matter what you do

And I'll turn around to see the truth

You're tearing it down, yeah, you're bringing it down And it's all on you

And I didn't get those things

Things that you can't grow

You say that it's all my fault

And I don't need to know

Tell me something I don't know

And I'll find that I'm always looking 'round behind

You said that it's all been said before

Now I find that there's something I don't know

And I know

I don't know

And I say that If you break enough glass and there's

no one to hear

And your heart's full of hate

'Cause your mind's full of fear

Let it go

So far away
