Everybody Loves Me But You
Well I wake up every morning and the first
thing that I say is that I hope that I can make it through
another lonely day.
I'm afraid I might explode if I keep going on this way.
People always notice me wherever I go.
They think I'm lucky but they don't really know.
Beauty and brains are all that I've got.
I've got a cold cold bed and a broken heart, a broken
heart.
Everybody loves me, everyone but you.
But nobody undoes me like the thought of you can do.
They search my eyes but I don't know why 'cause all I
ever do is cry.
Everybody loves me, but you.
Girls wanna be me so they can pick and choose.
They figure out of ten men there's no way that they can
lose.
Men would walk the plank for me and set themselves on
fire.
What do they see in me that isn't sad and tired, tired.
I could fill my life with people who wanna be with me.
Do like when they say there's other fish in the sea.
There's a world out there and a million things to do.
But what do I care if it doesn't include you, you.
Everybody loves me, everyone but you.
But nobody undoes me like the thought of you can do.
They search my eyes but I don't know why 'cause all they
ever do is cry.
Everybody loves me.
A cold cold bed and a broken heart.
A cold cold bed and a broken heart.
An empty house and a broken car.
A cold cold bed and a broken heart.
Lost And
Saved
I know exactly where we stand.
You're on your feet and I'm in quicksand.
I can't help myself, I need a hand.
Just when I think I'm dead he turns up just in time for
bed.
I thank my lucky stars again.
I sold my soul for rock and roll.
I never ever get a kiss.
But now I bought it back and gave it away for another
night like this.
I found a way to use my head.
I go over and over every word you said.
Look how I can make something out of nothing.
Say a prayer for the dying and the lost, ooh.
When he said he loved me he was lying but he had his fingers
crossed.
It's ok he's not to blame.
Let him have his toys.
I know how to play that game and I know that he's a beautiful
boy.
I'll take him any day but I won't wait around and I won't
pray.
Cause in my heart of hearts I have been saved.
Say a prayer for the dying and the lost, ooh.
When he said he loved me he was lying but he had his fingers
crossed.
I See You
What's that over there moving on the wall?
A second glance and it's not there at all.
What's that sitting there on the page of my book?
It hides behind the words when I try to take a closer
look.
I can't reach out and grab it but that's ok with me.
What's that jumping up and down in the middle of the street?
It lingers then it melts into the wavy liquid heat.
What are all those dizzy circles in the corner of my eye?
They laugh and float away as I look into the sky.
Can't get my arms around it, but that doesn't bother me.
'Cause all I have to do is dream.
I see you every place I go.
I see you in people I don't even know.
I close my eyes and I see you.
I open 'em wide and I see you.
I see you.
Who am I to close my mind from what it wants to see?
And who are you to tell the truth and kill my fantasy?
Why are all those people always saying things about me?
I'm not a loser, I'm just lonely.
Yeah I wanna lay down next to you.
But I'm not one to complain.
Yeah I wanna touch you too.
Do me a favor and appease my aching eyes.
Won't you please materialize?
Play another of your tricks with my sight.
Be here in the flesh tonight.
What's that pretty little thing crawling up my wrist?
Call me crazy, call me a masochist.
But I'd rather have you in my mind than completely out
of sight.
So I'll just go on dreaming for the rest of my life.
I see you every night and day.
I see you in a million different ways.
I close my eyes and I see you.
I open 'em wide and I see you.
Yeah.
I see you.
The Lights
I follow the path of a falling star.
It takes me closer to where you are, are.
What can I do?
I try to be with you, but I can only go so far.
You're light years ahead of me.
So bright that I can't help but see.
And you, I know how good it could be.
I try to look outside myself.
I try to find some outside help.
I'll try to sleep till you come up tonight.
And I'll lie down right under the lights.
For a little while I can feel all right.
A better life is in plain sight.
I'll be fine until the time comes to put out all of the
lights.
Half a moon is moon enough to get me all the way across
the bay.
A Roman candle shoots off from the beach.
And lightning strikes a place way out of my reach.
I'd say I have the perfect view.
If only it was always true, but in the dark is it most
of the time.
When I get right down in front of the lights.
Sometimes I really start to feel all right.
A better life is in plain sight.
I'll be fine until the sun comes up and dims the light
of the night.
Come up right down next to me.
I don't have to say anything.
It's better than any made up fantasy.
Looking out and looking up I can see with my eyes shut.
This might just be the best time of my life.
And when I get right down in front of the lights.
Sometimes I really start to feel all right.
A better life is in plain sight.
I'll be fine until the time comes to put out all of the
lights.
Nirvana
I shut the windows and close the store.
I lay down on the bathroom floor.
Everyone I know is a bore.
I'm starting to think that everything stinks.
That I could really use a drink.
Then I got up and hit my head on the sink.
Father, father, father, father, do you call?
Father, father, father, should I end it all?
Now, here comes the song I love so much.
Makes me wanna go fuck shit up.
I got nirvana in my head, I'm so glad I'm not dead.
I slam my hand in the car door.
I scream till I could scream no more.
Bloody and mean and rotten to the core.
Father, father, father, father, do you call?
Satan, Satan, Satan, should I end it all?
You try to get off the ground.
But you always end up coming down.
When the sound comes around and goes in your ears.
You can do anything, you have no fears.
When that sound comes around and goes in my ears.
I can do anything I have no fears.
Now, here comes the song I love so much.
Makes me wanna go fuck shit up.
I got nirvana in my head. I'm so glad I'm not dead.
Here comes the song, I love it so much.
Makes me wanna go fuck shit up.
I got nirvana in my head.
I'm so glad I'm not dead.
Forever Baby
He falls down drunk, I hold him up.
He drinks and I refill his cup.
Then I take him home and put him to bed.
He wakes me in the dead of night.
Lets me be his second sight to guide him when he's sleep
walking.
Listen when he's sweet-talking.
I see the end of the road in his eyes.
He's got a long way to go.
I hold him like a loaded gun.
I know he might go off with anyone.
But I know he's only tryin' to have some fun.
He sees a couple of things in me.
Like how I'm not very hard to please.
It's really pretty easy.
I see my long lost home in his eyes.
He sees a nice hotel in mine.
I'll stick it out forever babe.
If we keep coming back together, maybe you'll start to
see it like me.
I'll stick it out forever babe.
If we keep coming back together, maybe you'll start to
see it like me.
I'll stick it out forever baby.
I'll stick it out forever baby.
I'll stick it out forever baby.
I'll stick it out forever baby.
I'll stick it out forever baby.
I'll stick it out forever baby.
I'll stick it out forever baby.
I'll stick it out forever baby.
I'll stick it out forever baby.
I'll stick it out forever baby.
I'll stick it out forever baby.
I'll stick it out forever...
Ugly
I don't look at faces, I look at my feet.
I'm all alone when I walk down the street. I'm in the
kitchen 'cause I can't take the heat. I wanna leave but
I stay in my seat. 'Cause I'm ugly with a capital U. And
I don't need a mirror to see that it's true. Ask me a
question then I will mess up. Ooh. I'll tell a lie and
I'll never fess up. I'm pretty lost but I don't wanna
be found. No no no no no. My tiny screams don't make a
sound, no. 'Cause I'm ugly with a capital ewww. And I
don't need a mirror to see that it's true. 'Cause I'm
ugly with a capital U. And I need nobody to tell me the
truth.
No Outlet
Do, do do do, do do do. Do, do do do, do
do do. Do, do do do, do do do. Do, do do do, do do do.
I left when you were still asleep. Glad we had the chance
to meet. I walked by your room and whispered your name.
I knew I wouldn't be back again. It's a seed that's gotta
go unsown. It's a missed connection. A cancelled show.
Do do do, do do do. Do, do do do, do do do. Do, do do
do, do do do. Do, do do do, do do do. There's a light
shining out through your eyes at me. But getting in is
just like trying to crawl up a tree. I try to get past
all that stuff, but a little while is never enough. Like
a power line it's hanging low. Seems like there's no outlet
on this deadend road. Do do do, do do do. Hey babe, there's
something I can keep. Break off a chunk of you and give
me a piece. I put it in my pocket to save it for the days
when thoughts of you come back to me and won't go away.
Cause I cannot make my dreams come true no matter how
I try. And I cannot be satisfied just knowing you're alive.
Dealt a good hand and forced to fold. Pushed by circumstances
beyond our control.
Quit
I made it to the top of the wall. This
could be mine, I could own it all. I better jump before
I fall. I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead. Before I say anything
that I wish, that I wish I hadn't said. This is it. My
car has arrived to take us to the greener grass on the
other side. But look at all the people who died. Crashed
when they went out for a ride. So I'm gonna quit while
I'm ahead. Before I say anything that I wish, that I wish
I hadn't said.
Get Off
Your Knees
You taste little bits that wouldn't digest.
And you shit 'em out of your system. You grab hands, squeeze,
then let it go. Drop it and watch it fall away like snow.
Yearning for a drug that doesn't exist. Using your mouth
like a fist. That smile can't even show on your face.
You gotta get out of this place. Like the noose snared
to your leg don't fit. Though even if you found the key
you can't. Get off your knees and repeat after me. "The
devil rocks my soul." Accept the fact that he didn't die
and you'll begin to go. There's a lump in my throat that
won't go away. I'm gonna rip it out. I'm gonna kill desire
and knock it down. You'll be under my foot down on the
ground. You're trying to get the picture when there's
nothing really to get. You're running around in the desert
trying to get wet. You're wanting to hold on tight when
there's nothing really to hold. Stop that train of thought
that drives you into the cold. Get off your knees and
repeat after me. "The devil rocks my soul." Accept the
fact that he didn't die and you'll begin to go. Get off
your knees and repeat after me. "The devil rocks my soul."
Accept the fact that he didn't die and you'll begin to
go.
No Answer
You're the only one thing that I believe.
The only one thing that I can see. I'm not blind so tell
me why. Why don't you come up and see me some time? It's
the only thing that stays with me. The one thing that
won't run away from me. The answer doesn't lie. Do do,
do do do. At least not in the back of my mind. Do do,
do do do. Can't find it in your eye. Do do, do do do.
Can't find it in time. I'm sure of myself and I know the
truth. Now all I have to do is show it to you. It looks
so easy but it's hard to do. You. I jump in the car, turn
the music on. I'm gonna be gone, but I don't know how
long. I've got time. So tell me why will it take a whole
life to prove what you know is right? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? The answer doesn't lie. Do do, do do do. At least
not in the back of my mind. Do do, do do do. Can't find
it in your eye. Do do, do do do. Can't find it in time.
