- My World
The fastest man in the world, fast asleep at the wheel
Nobody wants to be alone, so how did I get, here
When I look at you, I see him staring through
Awake and a smile, cuz he's been inside of you
Is he all the things you, tried to change me into?
Is he everything to you?
Does he make you high, make you real?
- 15 Minute Idol
Smiling faces on magazines
Checkout line trash beauty queens
The Good time party has to crash
Say Goodbye fairweather friend
Use me up until the end
By the way can you spare any cash?
- 1985
Debbie just hit the wall
She never had it all
One prozac a day
Husband's a C.P.A.
Here dreams went out the door
Once she turned 24
Only been with one man
What happened to her plans
- Alive
All she's asking is for a little more time,
To walk away from his anger and leave the bruises far behind
She won't talk about it...she's made up her mind
But as the front door shuts behind her she whispers "give me a sign."
Feels the power of the engine as she climbs to 65
Every piston sounds like freedom, every white line says goodbye
She'll find strength in her anger and the truth in his lies
- Axl Rose
Whoa, where did you go, Axl Rose?
Angel lives alone in East Baltimore
Eviction notice stapled to her front door
Bleach-blond hair, fishnet pantyhose
God she wishes it was 15 years ago
When buying her a drink meant anything
You wanted that night... was alright
- Blue Light Special Life
There's a hole
In my Goodwill shoes
From walking down
The eastside street too long
Well I'm trying to get out
Get out while I can
Cause this town's wonder years
Have come and gone
- Broken Handed
If you wanted to
Could your heart be true
If you wanted to
Could you not want
Anyone else's world
Anyone else's world
If you wanted it
Just break off a bit
- Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You
Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
And a feeling that will last all through the year
On the corner carolers are singing
there's a touch of magic in the air
from grownup to minor no one could be finer
- Empty Spaces
I'm not afraid to go backwards fix what we broke
My gaze falls behind, you make desire seem so easy
I hold off sleep, it's so silent without you here
Don't give up now, it would all be for nothing
'Cause I believe in second chances
I believe the years forget
- Fame
Staring down from 30,000 feet above the planet
She gets the sense nothing's behind her anymore
Her quest for fame has left her nothing short of a fanatic
For the chance to be the one that we adore
Fame's what she's wanting
You can't go too far (when that's who you are...because)
Fame's what she's wanting
- Gone
Do you feel the need
To laugh behind my back?
Does it make up for
All the things you seem to lack?
But I see through you
Jealousy can't make you strong
I'll walk right through you
You'll close your eyes and I'll be...
- Good bye
Sr-71 - Goodbye
I'm Everything you know
You wonder friend or foe
I'm the burning in your throat when you swollow
but when you spit me out
Your stomach full of doubt
and still you're faking every word out of your mouth
- Goodbay
[Verse 1:]
I'm everything you know.
You wonder friend of foe.
I'm the burning in your throat when you swallow,
But you spit me out.
Your stomach full of doubt.
And still you're faking every word out of your mouth.
But you won't let go.
- Goodbye
everything you know
You wonder friend or foe
I'm the burning in your throat when you swallow
But you spit me out
Your stomach full of doubt
Now you're faking every word out of your mouth
And when you won't let go
It's all about control
- Hello Hello
Hello hello
I bring you letters from the man you used to know
Give in let go
To the words that made you feel you weren't alone
Now it's funny how we find out
Time can solve the mystery but love is only temporary
Hello Hello
- Here We Go Again
I met her just last Wednesday
By Friday she was mine
Saturday she spent the night
And everything was fine
By Sunday she was on my nerves
I wanna be alone
Tuesday's here it's been a week
Why won't she go home
- In Your Eyes
Love I get so lost, sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
All my instincts, they return
- Last Man On The Moon
I just can't seem to concentrate today
It seems my mind is wandering away
And all these things swimmin’ through my head
Fade away when I go back to bed.
And I close my eyes
See how fast time flies
'Cause sunrise comes too soon.
- Let It Whip
Love to see you whip it
Sho' could treat you right
Give me just a minute
Of your time tonight
We both are here to have some fun
Let it whip
- Little Asshole
Hey, little asshole!
I thought I told you to stay out of my room?
My daddy used to call me little asshole,
when he got home from work every night
That's because I used to break everything he owned,
everything that he thought was nice
At 65, he's getting old, daddy's getting a little slow
- Lucky
I drown my girlfriend in her wishing well,
I'm not afraid of after-life hell.
Cuz I live it everyday, I live it everyday.
I lit a fire in my neighbor's lawn
I don't know them, to me they were my pawns,
Cuz I live it everyday, I live it everyday!
- Mosquito
You like when we go fast
So my foot's on the brake
Used to be my girl
But now you're just my worst mistake
But you don't see it, not a subtle change
Makes me laugh how, you turned into a cliche
Everytime you told me
- Non-Toxic
I'm one of those things you'll save forever, but never need.
Like an old newspaper no one has time to read
This child has grown into a dead end
Since i lost the power to pretend
But it's all right, that's who i am inside
Not much to say on this non-toxic, ordinary day
- Over
Fade in eyes catch the light
Drifting shores sands of white
Morning tides touch the sun
Ocean drems come undone
No reasons for these lies
In red crimson skies
I'll always be the picture of me
- Politically Correct
I don't mean to piss you off with things I might say
But when I try to shut my mouth they come out anyway
When I speak my mind, that's when we connect
But that's not politically correct
Your head's so filled with thought, you can't use your imagination
Like a sky so filled with stars, you can't find a constellation
And everyone's so sensitive to every bad vibration
- Right Now
She clings to me like cellophane
Fake plastic submarine
Slowly driving me insane
But now that's over
So what if the sex was great
Just a temporary escape
Anorther thing I grew to hate
- She Was Dead
From the minute that I saw her she was different from the rest
But I didn't hear her talking I was staring at her chest
I wish I would have listened cause I think I would have seen the signs
Now it's been a couple months and I can't take another word
She's been pushing every button she's been working every nerve
Now there's something she can swollow but it sure as hell is not my pride
- Superman
If I was Superman
And I could fly to heaven
See all that was beautiful
I would never want to come home
To another disaster
Some new catastrophe
No the world doesn't need another burnt out superhero
- The One
I always that I was the cool kid class-clown
Thats until you called me last year's loudmouth
Now I'm full of these modern day self-doubts
Got me feeling hopeless and left out
I can't eat
I can't sleep
I can't argue
- They All Fall Down
I can be as humble as the next guy
Or I can blink and make you crumble from the inside
I could be every nasty thing, you ever dreamt a man could be
Cuz they all fall down (down)
Cuz they all fall down (down)
I can make you see the beauty of a new sun
- Tommorow
Is it any wonder why I'm scared,
If I was a little younger would I
care,
feeling like the walls are growing stronger,
i don't know if this cage can hold me any longer
you never dreamed you'd have to love your life so guarded,
cause they'll find a way to make you feel discarded
- Tomorrow
Is it any wonder why I'm scared,
If I was a little younger would I
care,
feeling like the walls are growing stronger,
i don't know if this cage can hold me any longer
you never dreamed you'd have to love your life so guarded,
cause they'll find a way to make you feel discarded
- Truth
Blood and dust have changed all the colors in my mind
Black has made me see but the truth has made me blind
To the fears
To the lies
They were here
All the time
- What a Mess
I confess it's all true.
I'm a mess, what a fool
Now what do I do
I need your help to get up from my knees
I can't seem to see the forest for the trees
As I wait in my silent misery
All I'm asking is please...forgive me
