All night, be left alone.
Take my, name as my own.
So c'mon and take my hand, c'mon and
C'mon and take my hand, c'mon and

Take my, take my , take my, take my
Take my, take my, take my, take my
Words are, not much to say.

Take my, take my, take my, take my
Take my, take my, take my, take my
Take my, take my, take my, take my

She's gone in a word, and tanked-up
and i can't sleep at all, i can't sleep at all
she's gone in a word, the ephedrine
got caught halfway down, the pretty anti-ground
don't wanna miss such an american scene
and i said to myself i'm not turning off
i said to myself i'm not turning off
and i said to myself i'm not turning off
and i said to myself i'm not turning off
oh honey, oh please, it's just a machine
oh honey, please, it's just a machine
oh honey, oh please, it's just a machine
oh honey, oh please, it's just a machine
there's something about, you're up late
your can tastes like tin, aluminum
there's something about, i'm not the only one
that can't sleep at all
that can't sleep at all
and i don't want to miss such an american scene
and i said to myself i'm not turning off
i said to myself i'm not turning off
well i said to myself i'm not turning off
and i said to myself i'm not turning off
so connect, connect, connect, connect to me
connect, connect, connect, connect to me
oh honey, oh please it's just a machine
oh honey, oh please, it's just a machine
oh honey, oh please, it's just a machine
oh honey, oh please, it's just a machine
it's just a machine

I had a feeling from the start of it
I had a joke on everyone
I had a joke who was in everyone
And if you listen up just once you know
If you want, you can never leave and
If you want, you can let her go
I had a feeling from the start of it you could say so, motherfucker
You could say so, motherfucker
And then I took it all around, I took her back and I said to myself
If you want, you can never leave and
If you want, you can let her go
All the negatives have been destroyed, and they said
All the negatives have been destroyed-oh yeah
I had a feeling from the start of it, you could let me go if you wanted
to
But I haven't seen that you wanted to
So I took it all around, I took it back and I said to myself
If you want (you want) you can never leave and
If you want (you want) you can let her go
All the negatives have been destroyed, and they said
All the negatives have been destroyed-oh yeah

Carolina's cheap
Oh she kneels down, down
Goes around, on a coffin, all night
But to me
Well she's nowhere now
She'll be nowhere tomorrow mornin' when you smashed all the, smashed all the
Cvantez, Cvantez, Cvantez
Cvantez, Cvantez, Cvantez
She's not down with the revolution
She's not hip and part of the nation
Cvantez, Cvantez, Cvantez
Cvantez, Cvantez, Cvantez
She's not down with the revolution
She's not hip and part of the nation

She was smoking up all his cigarettes
And putting 'em out in his hand
She said that you think this hurts now, kid, well
Just wait till later man
This is fucking torture to me, it's fucking torture
Nefarious, nefarious
It's enough to have to meet ya
Nefarious, nefarious
And there's nothing that could reach ya
What's good, what's not so good
Sometimes it's hard for her to tell
What's good, what's not so good,
Sometimes it's hard
When she knows you so well and when she knows you so well
And now your teeth are red and there's a little bit about you I don't
wanna know, uh huh
And now your teeth are all red and there's a little bit about you I
don't wanna know, uh huh
But when there's something that wants this much to happen,
There's no need to be alarmed.
But I'm not so sure if I want to get in that car,
Because I caught you cheating, and caulking your chair
And now your teeth are all red and there's a little bit about you I
don't wanna know, uh huh
And now your teeth are all red and there's a little bit about you I
don't wanna know, uh huh
Nefarious, nefarious
It's enough to have to meet ya
Nefarious, nefarious
And there's nothing that could reach ya
And you're tearing me apart, tearing me apart,
It's enough to have to meet ya.

You could feel, a lot of doubt
On the runway, and in her murder walk, you could tell
Maybe it's how she fell
When she saw you, maybe it's how she fell
Like some bright orange pumps
It was the murder mystery she didn't want
She put her claws deep in your arm and
It made the tracks go all red
Pull yourself together, hon.
Or heaven's just in your head.
When the bulbs had all broke and hit the ground
There was hardly any sound, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Then you see a lot of doubt... and then they knew
All along it was you.
It's too late now
Cause breaking up's hard to do

. . .


If she had half a mind, well she might
Not take this song quite so seriously,
So put the notebook down, and take off your dress
I've never seen it before, and I said
(Dismember) That's what you are
(Dismember) You're a bad guy
(Dismember) That's what you do
(Dismember) To win sugar
C'mon let's go outside you know we can go sit out in your car and get
Cut down
Cut off
Cut down
(Dismember) Well I was at your show, old man
(Dismember) I couldn't watch you at all, old man
(Dismember) I couldn't take my eyes off you
Cut down
Cut off
Cut down
Cut off

Every time the titans push over
All the punks are thick on the ground
But in the bike lane, you think it over
Turn in your tank and turn around
Idiot driver
Idiot drive
She swears that I know her
Why don't you turn over
Enterprise, yeah man I know what it's like
Way to get from A to B
When they can't take it, slow down the harbor
Go get the car keys, play the blues
Set, new wave,
Set, three four,
Set, one two, three four
She's waking up, right now with,
Him, it just makes me sick
Yeah cause the highway, is your girlfriend
And it goes by quick
It goes
Idiot driver
Idiot drive
I'm stuck all alone and
I wanna turn over

. . .


Well say-a-a-hey, could you come through
Did you feel good, well it felt good
And it looked like maybe you could settle in
Did you think that was dead?
Did you feel good, well it felt good,
And it looked like maybe you could settle in
And say-a-a-hey, did you get tired
Did you feel the, all of the compression, did you look off around
So in
Did you feel good, well it felt good,
And it looked like maybe you could settle in
Quick with the terrain
Quick at the terrain
Quick with the terrain

I wanted to be your friend
I wanted to get to know ya
I wanted to be your friend
I wanted to get to know ya
I wanted, I wanted, wanted to be your friend
I wanted, I wanted, wanted to be your friend
No kidding.
I wanted to hang out some.
I thought when you danced it looked all right.
I thought that you talked pretty cool.
But don't get me wrong I wasn't uptight.
Intentions they fly out the window when you left
The window stay open and light before I said
No kidding.
Although it was nothing heavy
There's things that I could have showed ya
Like how I wanted to be your friend
I wanted to get to know ya
I wanted, I wanted, wanted to be your friend
I wanted, I wanted, wanted to be your friend
No kidding
Kidding
Wanted
Wanted
Wanted to
Wanted to
Wanted to
Wanted to
Wanted to
Wanted

When I do count the clock that tells the time
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night,
When I behold the violet past prime
And sable curls all silvered o'er with white
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard:
Then of thy beauty do I question make
That though among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake,
And die as fast as they see others grow,
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defense,
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.
Primary
(All right now!)
The primary means of motivation,
Walks onto her place on thirteenth street.
The primary means of motivation,
Paints a picture on her lover's face.

Well he's down with the capitalist system
But he lost a lot, those capitalists
He's read you every book that you'd ever list him,
And now he'll put you back up there on your shelf
You're the government darling, you're sick of yourself,
Yeah you're sick of yourself
You're the government darling, you're sick of yourself,
Yeah you're sick of yourself,
You're the government darling, the government darling
You're sick of yourself, yeah you're sick of yourself
You're the government darling
You're sick of your
What would the powers that be do without you Dad?
We'd probably live among the so-socialists
So ma-ma-man a-don't you go and deny it
Cause lying's fit to be so worse for your health
You're the government darling, you're sick of yourself,
Yeah you're sick of yourself
You're the government darling, you're sick of yourself,
Yeah you're sick of yourself
You're the government darling, the government darling
You're sick of yourself, a fucking government darling
The government darling
The government

Inside the wall, I wasn't sure
Way things turned-out was, best they could be.
I'm working today and yesterday
Still got some time and I can have something I'd live for
Well are you part of the motion-ment
I wanna be part of the movement too
I just don't find myself giving a fuck
About the things that, I have to do
When I see ya
When it gets you like it's got me
It cuts my teeth and then it, like I said
When I first saw her I thought I knew her
Now I know I don't, just wish I did
And she could be able to take me far
So come over my house and say
Save my life,
Plastic mylar
I'm assuming you'll put me right
I'm assuming you're not a
And she's got a place that is cool so far
And I haven't seen her perfections for my
Plastic mylar
I'm assuming you'll put me right
I'm assuming you're out of sight
To John David, and Sean and D
Rocky and Lou and, Kim and her sister
Two jobs later, Jerry B.
Ratour Magalinto(??), Marilyn Ruth
Well are you part of the motion-ment
I wanna be part of that movement too
I just don't find myself giving a ...
About the things that, I have to do
When I see ya
When it gets you like it's got me
It cuts my teeth and then it, like I said
When I first saw her I thought I knew her
Now I know I don't, just wish I did
And she could be able to take me far
So come over my house and say
Save my life,
Plastic mylar
I'm assuming you'll put me right
I'm assuming you're outta
And she's got a place that is cool so far
And I haven't seen her perfections for my
Plastic mylar
I'm assuming you'll put me right
I am assuming you're out of sight
