SLIDE
We were fading
Like the bottom
of a bad dream
We were heading south
Looking for a good time
Faces look so pretty
In the spotlight
All blown out
And bathed inside a
world of white
Sometimes I feel like I am
holding it together
Sometimes I feel like
everything is fine
Sometimes I feel
Like I'm out of control
I feel like I am falling...
...like my life is on a slide
Slide!
It was sunny on the streets
Down there by the water
We would get hammered
on the beach
Right down by the water
She was slightly out of reach
A rich man's only daughter
I think she slept with me
Just so she could piss off
her father
I am elastic
I am easy with the damage
I am ecstatic
I am hungry for the climb
Sometimes I feel
Like I am falling apart...
I feel like I'm falling...
...like my life is on a slide
Slide!
I know it's wrong but
I just can't seem to act my age
I know it's but I just
can't seem
To control my rage
My heart is racing and
I am losing my mind
Sometimes I feel like my life is
on a slide
Those faces look so scary
In the harsh light
All blown out
And bathed inside a world
of white
We were shining
Like the good part of a
bad time
We were laughing, happy
Just to be along for the ride
Sometimes I feel like I am
really lucky
I have made it through
Bruised and scarred
And half alive
Sometimes I feel
Like I'm out of control
I feel like I am falling...
...like my life is on a slide
Slide!
Yes I know it's wrong but
I just can't seem to act my age
Yes I know it's wrong but I
just can't seem
To control my rage
My heart is racing and
I am losing my mind
Sometimes I feel like my life is
on a slide

BABYTALK
This is a song about Spike
He is a bad ass guy
Who just happens to be
A really good friend of mine
Everyone I know...yeah
Who knows Spike too
Would agree when
I say the words
That Spike is cool
The problem with
my friend Spike
He has fallen into
a true love with a nice girl
Who has gotta lot of tattoos
He always talks crazy
Whenever she calls
He always talks like a baby
It's obvious now...
She has got him by the balls
She has got him by the balls...
She has got him by the balls
My weird little brother...James
And his ex-girlfriend
They would talk in those
ridiculous voices
We would all be hanging out
getting drunk in
the neighborhood
And they both would make
those ridiculous noises
He would always talk crazy
Whenever she calls
He always talks like a baby
It is obvious now
They have got him by the balls
I hate you
when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a
grown man
(they have got you by the balls)
I hate you
when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a
grown man
(they have got you by the balls)
I hate you
when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a
grown up man
(they have got you by the balls)
You will never see me...
walking that walk
You will never catch me...
talking that babytalk
(you know it's true...
they've got you by the balls)
Which brings me back to Spike
A good guy to have in a fight
Unless he was
With his girlfriend
Obnoxious on Saturday night
You know he couldn't care less
What anyone thinks
He does not give a damn
No, because he has no shame
He looks so happy
Just like everything is fine
He is oblivious to the fact
That he has no spine
He always talks crazy
(you have no shame)
Whenever she calls
(you have no shame)
He talks like a baby
(you have no shame)
It is obvious...
they have got him by the balls
I hate you
when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a
grown man
(they have got him by the balls)
I hate you
when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a
grown man
(they have got him by the balls)
You will never see me...
walking that walk
You will never catch me
....talking that babytalk
(you know it's true...
they've got you by the balls)
I am not going to let it
get to me
They've got you by the balls

SHORT BLONDE HAIR
Hey I think this is
getting to me...
First class living
In a goldfish bowl
Just when I think
I have driven my life
Where I wanted it to be
It takes me to a place
That I do not want to go
All I ever wanted to do
Was to learn how to break
This world in two
To teach it all the tricks
I wanted it to learn
To teach it how to do
What I want it to do
No one really understands
Just how simple and plain
And predictable I am
Because all I ever wanted to do
Was to play guitar
In a rock and roll band
Now I'm just losing my hair
and I'm
Learning how to smile
Like I just don't care
No, I just don't care
(I hear them
under their breath)
(what they say...when they
think that I can't hear them)
I see them point and
I see them stare
There goes that stupid guy
With the short blonde hair
Yeah, I think this is getting to me...
First class living

real bad

Now I'm just losing my hair and

Say la de da de da de da
MISERY WHIP
Walking wounded with a belly
full of pain
And a big bad attitude
We are shaking shadows for that
perfect dark room
Where we can do just what we
want to do
There is a place...
Where we can leave behind
All those simple minds
They would not like
the way we live
When we are all alone
In this house that we call home
You will become my
misery whip
(yes...I said like a misery whip)
Walking hungry with a pocket
full of promise
And a big black song
in my head
I know the answers to
my questions
They are purple black and blue
And they are waiting for me in my bed
There is a place...
Where we can leave behind
All those simple minds
They would not like
they way we live
When we are all alone
In this house that we call home
You will become my
misery whip
(I will say it again...
like a misery whip)
Stop!
I get no pleasure
When I'm going through
the motions
Of my mediocre day to day
I'm just an actor
Just like
Robert fucking Redford
When I say those stupid words
That they expect me to say
Yes we can leave behind
All those simple minds
They would not like the dirty
things we do
Yeah
When we are all alone
In this house that we
call home...
I will fall down like a bitch
for you
I need you to hit me and
make me
Shake
I need you to hurt me and
make me
Beg for more
I need you to bend me and
make me
Break
I need you to make me feel like
I am your whore
I feel complete when
I feel sick inside
I need to feel like
I am real inside
I need to feel like
I am really alive
I need you to make me feel
I need you to hit me and
make me
Shake
I need you to hurt me and
make me
Beg for more
I need you to bend me and
make me
Break
I need you to make me feel
Like we can leave behind
All those simple minds
They would not like
the way we live
When we are all alone
In this house that we call home
You will become my
misery whip
You will become my
misery whip
You will become my friend
OUT OF MY DEPTH
Out of my depth
Lost in the air
Falling faster
Like a broken elevator
Out of my depth
Lost in the dark
Waiting for the other shoe
To come down hard
I cannot communicate
Like I wish I could
I do not deal with my problems
Like I know I should
I am out of my depth
I am out of my league
Watching everything...just
Slip away from me
Something bad is
going to happen
I can feel it deep inside
There are shadows
all around me
Like a bad moon on the rise
I am in over my head
I am in too deep here
over my head
I guess I should keep my
opinions to myself
I guess I am out of my depth
Out of my depth
Right from the start
I feel like I was born
With an invisible heart
Out of my depth
Seems like everyday
I can't find the words
To make the good things
Come my way
I feel like I am faking it
I feel like I am wrong
I feel like I'm a guest
...like I just do not belong
I am out of my depth
Every single day
I just cannot find the words
To make my monsters go away
Something bad is
going to happen
I can feel it deep inside
There are shadows
all around me
Like a bad moon on the rise
I am in too deep here
over my head
I should seek
some professional help
Because I'm out of my depth
Yes, I'm out of my depth
And I am slowly going
out of my mind
Oh, go away
Make them go away
Someday I know
I will make them go away
Make them go away
Make them go away
Someday I know...I will make
my monsters go away
I am in over my head
I should seek
some professional help
I should keep my
opinions to myself
I guess I am out of my depth
I am out of my depth
Yes, I am slowly going
out of my mind
THE GOOD WITCH OF THE
NORTH
You pull me down
To the floor
Of our apartment
A little while later
We are laughing at our
carpet burns
I like the way that it
glows outside
As the room gets darker
How I wish we could stay
like this
While the rest of the
world turns
There has never been a time
When I didn't want to be
your boyfriend
There has never been a time
When I didn't want to know
your name
Free falling from a work
in progress
Free falling from a life on hold
There has never been a time
When I didn't want you
My good lover
Is my one good thing
these days
You help me keep it all
From slipping away
I swear I'm going to
Marry you
Someday (someday)
I am all alone
And it seems like
All I do is wait
We spend hours on the phone
But it's never the same
No, nothing good ever does
come easy
Nothing good ever comes
without a fight
I am all alone
And I wish I was home
With you tonight
Yes, my good lover
Is my one good thing
these days
You help me keep it all
From slipping away
I swear I'm going to
Marry you
Someday
My girlfriend is like
Magic in the hand
When I lose my sparkle
She's the one
that understands
I know I'm going to marry you
someday
I swear I'm going to marry you
someday
I swear I'm going to marry you...
Someday
HALOWEEN AMERICANA
[Instrumental]
ALL FUCKED UP
I am all fucked up
And I am ready to break
I don't wanna be the guy
Who is always on the outside
I wanna find my own
good place
All fucked up
And I don't know how
How I ever got to where I feel
Like I am dying on the inside
I want to be happy
But I don't know how
I am all fucked up
And it's always the same
I always get so close,
Then I let it get away
I got no one but
myself to blame
I'm all fucked up
And I don't know why
If the rest of my life
Is going to be like this
Think I would rather die
I am all fucked up
Yes, I am all fucked up
You're happy
when you are all fucked up
Yes, I am all fucked up
I am all fucked up
Yes, I am ready to break
I don't wanna be the guy
Who is always on the outside
I wanna find my own
good place
All fucked up
And I don't know how
How I ever got to where I feel
Like I'm dying on the inside
I want to be happy now
I am all fucked up
And it is always the same
I always get so close
then I let it get away
I got no one but
myself to blame
I am all fucked up
And I don't know why
If the rest of my life
Is going to be like this
Than I think I would rather die
I am all fucked up
OVERWHELMING
It can come from
out of nowhere
Hit you when you're
safe and warm
Take it easy my star
Your time is going to come
Your time is going to come
You got those crazy blye eyes
Yeah you got those crazy blues
All those pretty smiles
I can see them laughing at you
Your time is going to come
Your time is going to come
I don't want to be your
punching bag
Your complacent little princess
All tragic and sad
I'm not going to let you
Overwhelm me
Anymore (no, not anymore)
Yeah you say you got
this bad thing
Yeah you say you got it bad
You have broken every heart
Of every friend you've ever had
Someday the time
is going to come
When all your friends
just go away
I wonder why I stick around
Sometimes I wish you
would leave
You say you'll love me forever
Then you spit on me
Your time is going to come
I swear your time
is going to come
I don't want to be your
whipping boy
Your pathetic little loser
Someone you can ignore
I'm not going to let you
overwhelm me
Anymore (aw)
I'm not going to let you hurt
me anymore
I'm not going to let you hit
me anymore
I'm not going to let you kick
me anymore
I will not let you overwhelm
my anymore
(anymore)
It can come from
out of nowhere
I don't want to be your simple
saving grace
Just another little victim with a
happy face
Oh
Someday
Someday, soon
Somebody's going to come
I hope they do this to you
I'm not going to let you
overwhelm me
I will not let you hurt
me anymore
I will not let you hit
me anymore
I will not let you twist
me anymore
No, I will not let you turn me
inside out
SONGS FROM AN AMERICAN
MOVIE PT. 2
Sometimes I get to a point where
I don't give a damn about
anything...anymore
Sometimes I get to a point where
I feel numb and I just don't care
Sometimes I feel like I just
don't care
I sit in my car
and listen to the radio
I think about the past
and it seems so long ago
I know the pain
is slowly going to fade
This life is going to get better
(Things are going to be better)
I wait until
my ex-wife has gone away
I walk around the house
Getting lost inside the old day
I see a picture where
everybody's smiling...
I know...
I got to keep it on the inside
I want to get lost
from my life sometimes
Sit on the side
and watch the world go by
I want to get lost
and I don't know why
Sometimes I want to get lost
and I don't know why
(Sometimes I want to get lost
and dream for a while)
Waiting for my little girl
Waiting on the school bus
We're going to the movies
Yeah just the two of us
Sit inside the dark and dream
for awhile
Our life is going to get better
(Yeah it's going to be better)
I wake up weird
in the middle of the night
I walk the floor
until my mind gets right
I think about the past
and it makes me want to cry
I know...
I got to keep it on the inside
I want to get lost
from my life sometimes
Sit on the side
and watch the world go by
I want to get lost in the dark
and dream for awhile
Just sit inside a dark room
and dream for awhile
The only thing that ever makes
sense to me
Is the words to a song from
an American movie
The only thing that ever made
sense in my life
Is the sound of my
little girl laughing
Alive and happy in
the summertime
I am just like everyone I know
I am afraid of things that I
don't know
I am afraid of ever really
being alone
I want to find myself a brand
new heart
I want to find a girl
and make a brand new start
I want to find a girl and get lost
in the dark
The only thing that ever makes
sense to me
Is the words to a song from
an American movie
The only thing that ever made
sense in my life
Is the sound of my
little girl laughing
Through the window of a
summer night
I sit alone in the backyard
Wishing I could be inside
Just the sound of my
little girl laughing
Makes me happy just to be alive
Sometimes I am happy
just to be alive
