Isn't it time?
For you see
Just what you can be, so baby come to me
Take off that dress
Let's make a mess
I can hear morning and the door is closing
Well, will it take?
A way to shake
Away your inhibitions, and your new renditions
On the wall
You'll see the scrawl
Of loves ambitious message from a seamless wreckage
It's as if you think, that's there's a secret
And if you keep it till
The days are still
But now you know, that you're alone
And bottles empty
And the words are gone and
You're alone
Until you see
What they may be
The reasons leave you and their treasons free you
Once you're gone
And life's been blown
To little pieces where, you'll never have to share
So take your film I know it means the world to you
Its sort of seen through a camera lens, where the image bends
Distorted transience, and disobedience
Can't hide the fact, that you're an anuptophiliac
It's as if you think, that's there's a secret
And if you keep it till
The days are still
But now you know, that you're alone
And bottles empty
And the words are gone and
You're alone
Now that we've seen
And night has been
There's no sense hanging round, to try the underground (cause)
When there's light
The things in sight
Will bend away the mask, and leave an empty flask
Of broken dreams
It's as if you think, that's there's a secret
And if you keep it till
The days are still
But now you know, that you're alone
And bottles empty
And the words are gone and
You're alone

Plaything
02:44

How long have you been waiting?
For a night to top a steed
To rescue you from shaking
Is that all you ever need?
The boredom is atrocious
That's why you're still around
It's not as if he loves you
So you've every right to frown
It's not as if he'd talk to you
When all is said and done
You're just little plaything and he'll keep you 'till he's done
Thought you saw him walking by
But it was only me
It's your bad luck, so cry
Is there a chance you'll ever see?
Eventually you'll learn
To stay away from him
It's not as if you're holy
You're drowning in his sin
It's not as if he'd talk to you
When all is said and done
You're just little plaything that he keep around for fun
But please don't feel so bad
There's no real reason to be so sad, no
You're only one of the many pretty girls he's had
It's not as if he'd talk to you
When all is said and done
You're just little plaything and he'll keep you 'till he's done
It's not as if he'd talk to you
When all is said and done
You're just little plaything that he keep around for fun

Wendy, You

Wendy, you
Used to dream
You always said we'd make it through somehow
But that's all over now
In the end
We would fail
But that won't matter anyhow
It's all been done by now
We used to stay, under a sky of stars
Or trapped inside our cars
We used to say, we wouldn't stay for long
Now that the cards are wrong
Wendy, you
Used to dream
You'd always ask me what it means
In our deleted scenes
We never know
How to say
It was all a lie and walk away
But that was yesterday
We used to stay, under a sky of stars
Or trapped inside our cars
We used to say, we wouldn't stay for long
Now that the cards are wrong
Not a single day goes by
Not another broken sky
We used to stay, under a sky of stars
Or trapped inside our cars
We used to say, we wouldn't stay for long
Now that the cards are wrong

She has a problem with people that have got
No sensibility or even that she says
She only takes what she
Needs and then she shuts the door on you
You needn't try and condescend
She has a problem with people that have got
No sensibility even that she says
She only takes what she
Needs and then she shuts the door on you
I, I gotta let it go
I, I gotta let you know
I, I gotta let it go
I
And in the night when she dresses up
Like a queen she walks
We've all had enough of it
And in the lights where she's dancing
I see a hurricane
I, I gotta let it go
I, I gotta let you know
I, I gotta let it go
I
I’ll always love you even though I know it doesn’t seem I really care
You go anywhere and lose yourself, you be sure I’ll find you there
I, I gotta let it go
I, I gotta let you know
I, I gotta let it go
I

She Cut My Life
02:15
|
|

Anticipate
But nothing seems to work
You see her in corner
Trying to avert
Your eyes
She was ready
What have you done to her
She'd love to kick you in
Cause you're acting like an amateur
She's in her red dress
To illustrate
I'm trying to find her
Why tolerate
Just my frustration
Regarding words
She cut my life into seven equal thirds
Hesitate
Before you knock on 108
Your generation is opening the gate
But if I
Was there
The spider in your hair
Smelling all your perfume
And playing with your underwear
She's in her red dress
To illustrate
I'm trying to find her
Why tolerate
Just my frustration
Regarding words
She cut my life into seven equal
But I don't really give a damn
You can make me scream
With your pentagram
Where is your self esteem?
No I don't really give a damn
You can make me scream
Looks like a monogram
Where is your self esteem?
Well you don't got it
She's in her red dress
To illustrate
I'm trying to find her
Why tolerate
Just my frustration
Regarding words
She cut my life into seven equal thirds

Other Girls
02:43

Nothing you do will ever make me change my mind
They say if you would sit and listen they won't ask you all the time
Can we please just get along? Well would hurt then, if we did?
I can see them coming to the door and they would say you're busted again
And when the other girls are powdering their eyes
You'll be waiting in the waiting room there practicing your lies
And if they say you don't look good, you can smack them in the face
But they'll love the way you do it, and the other girls in their place again
The other girls, the same
Will try to make you play their games
The other girls all go
But they would never have you know
Then when the party starts and all the girls walk in
With their leather bound stilettos and their shining silver skin
You'll be late as every time you are but no one really cares cause
They're dancing but you'd rather read or mind your own affairs like you do
And though it seems the other girls have got it made
I think it's clear that you know what to do I know you're not afraid
Though you don't have expensive shoes or lipstick of that perfect red
You don't read those fucking magazines that penetrate your head so you're fine
The other girls, the same
Will try to make you play their games
The other girls all go
But they would never have you know
The other girls, the same
Will try to make you play their games
The other girls all go
But they would never have you know

Breakdown
03:14

Take a drink, so you'll forget
Don't think or you'll regret
Look around now look at me
Take a pound of flesh for free
Some things we do some things we won't
See the way it hurts me
Breakdown, baby, breakdown
Breakdown, baby, breakdown
Breakdown, baby, breakdown
Breakdown, baby, breakdown
Without you I can go on
There never was a reason why
I couldn't go and have my fun
I always knew I was the lucky one
We never saw what love could be
It never was for you and for me
Breakdown, baby, breakdown
Breakdown, baby, breakdown
Breakdown, baby, breakdown
Breakdown, baby, breakdown
When you, leave me here
Don't wait too long, or stand in the doorway
Walk the street the way you do
Until one day you find me
Breakdown, baby, breakdown
Breakdown, baby, breakdown
Breakdown, baby, breakdown
Breakdown, baby, breakdown
Breakdown, baby, breakdown
Breakdown, baby, breakdown
Breakdown, baby, breakdown
Breakdown, baby, breakdown

This Situation
02:17

This situation has everything but done me in
My concentration is fading and my eyes are dim
Representation is awful and it's always been
Your only question is what time does the band begin
And we say here they go again
And we say all in once again
Investigator, what's it that you've found inside?
Negotiator do you think you're satisfied?
Interrogator every deal you made went wide
But every time we're close we seem to get denied
And we say here they go again
And we say all in once again
There is nothing for me there
I cannot see but I don't care
What's happening to me
I feel the need to disagree
And we say here they go again
And we say all in once again
This situation has everything but done me in
My concentration is fading and my eyes are dim

Boys All Blush
03:11

The girls in the back
You have a certain gift you know, a very special knack for
Making the boys all blush
Can't help it when you smile
I've seen it done before
You get 'em round your little finger with mysterious allure
They're dancing through your hair and they'll go with you out the door
And though it's hard to say without me feeling somewhat poor
It's all happened to me before
//
Then any time you get your head into a jam you come to me with twenty dollars in your pretty little hands yes I know
Last night I messed it up and had a funny trip before I knew your top was off and you had kissed me on the lips do you recall
I said before that you would never change my life I suppose we all will make mistakes then
You know there is no other girl that's set me off like you you're a fire in my aching mind and
Boys all blush
Ahh
Boys all blush
La la la la la la
Boys all blush
Ahh
Boys all blush
La la la la la la la la la la la
There's something magical about the way you speak I heard you one time baby I was broken for a week
And when I know that you're in the town I get up fast to get around you know that I just want to see how you're doing
And though I can't deny that I've fallen for you tonight I'd have to blame the beautiful eyes oh
No I can't deny that I've fallen for you tonight but I'd have to blame your beautiful eyes
Boys all blush
Ahh
Boys all blush
La la la la la la
Boys all blush
Ahh
Boys all blush
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la

Say Anything
02:59
|
|

I've heard that heads make promises but they often take them back
The quality of honesty is something we all lack
Breaking tension like a firework you got oh so serious
Getting loud and getting stupid but remain delirious
Let her go to waste
Kick him in the face, take it
Into cyberspace
Keep them in their place,
But we still sing
Nameless, faceless, in the dark
Don’t care, wont dare, bite or bark
Could be, would be, build an Ark
End all fights inside the park
We can say anything
After class in the parking lot they'd meet with sticks and stones
You can see them hiding out in the dark lighting fire through their telephones
Years later they apologize cause they're sorry for doing you wrong
We can just be friends for a while is it that hard to get along
I say
Let her go to waste
Kick him in the face, take it
Into cyberspace
Keep them in their place
But we still sing
Nameless, faceless, in the dark
Don’t care, wont care, bite or bark
Could be, would be, build an Ark
End all fights inside the park
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la da da da
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
We can
Nameless, faceless, in the dark
Don’t care, wont dare, bite or bark
Could be, would be, build an Ark
End all fights inside the park
We can say anything

You're The One
02:54

I know you're taking
That orange line
Straight uptown to
Where the boys come cheap
And your whiskey's neat
And you can move your feet
To get between the sheets, yeah
When you get home
And you're alone
Pick up the phone sweetheart, and hear the tone
Tell them your own
Stand clear, can't you hear?
The voices calling, and the ceiling falling
You know, it can't be helped
The way you move your hips
The way you paint your lips that
You're the one
They think you're clean
Don't seel the dream
Or gasoline
Your bed's on fire
Tomorrow's pyre
Won't last that long
Soon as your gone
Stand clear, can't you hear?
The voices calling, and the ceiling falling
You know, it can't be helped
The way you move your hips
The way you paint your lips that
You're the one
Now that you've gone
There's no more song
Not the boys who
So adored you
And abhorred you
Think to ask who
Found the way to lock their chains on you
Stand clear, can't you hear?
The voices calling, and the ceiling falling
You know, it can't be helped
The way you move your hips
The way you paint your lips that
You're the one
