"Ha ha ha ha..."

Everybody here in this small town
Looks used and abused at bay
Everybody here’s looking outside in
Seems like nothing ever changes

Everybody, they just wanna have a good time
Everybody, they just wanna forget
Everybody wants to feel like they did
When the sky looked blue
And the world was perfect

I don’t care
I just wanna die pretty
I just wanna get lost in the motion
I just wanna get lost in my beautiful self
I just wanna get lost in the city
I don’t wanna live forever
I just want to die a beautiful death

"Ha ha ha ha..."

(Ugh)
Yeah, I got to get the hell out of this town
Everybody’s looking upside-down
Everybody here is looking for the same thing
When it seems like nothing ever changes
Everybody they just wanna find a slow ride
Everybody they just wanna get by

Everybody wants to feel like they did
When the sky looked high
And the world was simple

I don’t care
I just wanna die pretty
I just wanna get lost in the motion
I just wanna get lost in my beautiful self
I just wanna get lost in the city
I don’t wanna live forever
I wanna die a beautiful death

Oh (oh)
Sometimes I just wanna die

I just wanna get lost in the moment
I just wanna get lost inside the city tonight
I just wanna get lost inside myself
I don’t care about nothing

I just wanna get lost in the motion
I just wanna get lost in my beautiful self
I just wanna get lost in the city
I don’t wanna live forever
I wanna die a beautiful death

I wanna die a beautiful death
Yes, I wanna die a beautiful death
I just wanna die a beautiful death

"Oh yeah"

You know I used to be a bad girl
I got busy in the bathroom at my high school prom
Yeah, I used to be a dancer at the local strip club
But now

My right wing from my wrong

I had a threesome with my sister
And her boyfriend tom
I know I used to be a real wild child

But now
I am
A Volvo driving soccer mom
Volvo driving soccer mom

Really used to be a bad girl
I got busted for possession of my wizard shaped bong
I used to love to do
The things they’d tell me not to do
But now I’m different
Now I sing a new song

I got gang-banged in the bathroom at my high school prom
Yes, I used to be a real wild child

But now

A Volvo driving soccer mom

(Women giggling cont...)

"Hmmm; just like science fiction; no one knows what the fuck they’re talking
About; heh; there’s always one in every crowd"

There is always one in every crowd
You can hear the voices when you’re alone
They sound like metal on metal
Obnoxious and loud

Don’t let go
Don’t listen to the sound
Of those people you know
Slowly falling apart
And falling down now
Everything is falling down now
(Now now now...)

When I think I’m alone
I watch the news
On my girlfriends TV
It’s like a bad b-movie
Aww sometimes I can’t comprehend
All the stupid things that I see

So don’t let go
You can’t believe your eyes
Yeah, when everything they show you
Just makes you wanna cry
And you don’t wanna know
That you need to remember
Life is always getting better
(Better better...)
So don’t let go
(Go go go...)

There is always one in every crowd
Yeah, you see them when you think you’re alone
It all just seems like science fiction
No one knows what they are talking about

So don’t let go
Don’t listen to the sound
Of those people you know
Slowly falling apart
And falling down now

You need to remember
Life is always getting better
Life is always getting better
Life is always getting better
For a while

I don’t wanna hear you say you’re sorry
I don’t wanna hear you say we can start all over again
I think you must think that I’m stupid
Well, I might be stupid for the rest of my life
But, ill never be stupid to you again

I just want it all to go away
Yeah
Just go away
Yeah

I can see the light above me
I hear the sound of a brand new song
I don’t wanna hear your reasons
Because I know what’s right
I know what’s wrong

I can see the light above me
I hear the sound of a brand new day
I’m not going to settle for less
And I don’t think things are ever going to change

I just want it all to go away

I don’t wanna hear about your damage
I don’t wanna hear you say
That you think I’m damaged too
Because I know you know that the damage in me
Is from the horrible things
You say and do
I know that the damage in me
Comes from the damage in you

I just want it all
To go away

I can see the light above me
I hear the sound of a brand new song
I don’t wanna hear your reasons
Because I know what’s right
I know what’s wrong

I can see the light above me
I hear the sound of a brand new day
I’m not going to settle for less
And I don’t think things are ever going to change

I just want it all to go away

Yeah

Just go away

Yeah

I don’t wanna talk about it
I don’t wanna hear your lies
I don’t wanna talk about it
And I don’t understand why you just do not realize

I don’t wanna hear you say you’re sorry
I don’t wanna hear you say we can start all over again

Whoa
(Whoa)

I can see the light above me
I hear the sound of a brand new song
And I don’t wanna know your reasons
Because I know what’s right
I know what’s wrong

I can see the light above me
I hear the sound of a brand new day
I can picture our lives without you
And I don’t think things are ever going to change

I just want it all to go away

I can see the light above me
Hear the sound of a brand new song
I don’t wanna know your reasons
Because I know what’s right
I know what’s wrong

I walk around in the market
Late at night
I walk around in the empty aisles
And I don’t know why
I need to be
Close to the light
So I walk around
In the middle of the night

I drive around in the neighborhood
I wanna lose my house
Drive around on the freeway
Guess I wanna lose myself
Turn the key
Turn the dial
Listen to the radio
And just drive for a while

Yeah, I got no place to go
I wish I
Could come home
To a life that looks like a TV show
Wish I
Could see
My television family waiting for me

Where no one fights
No one screams
No one lies
And no one leaves
I don’t care how the story ends
I wanna feel like I’m living again

I drive away from the city
Need to see the sky
Drive away from the bad things
That make me close my eyes
Leave it all
In the past
Drive away
Going nowhere fast

Yeah, now I got nowhere to go
I wish I
Could go home
To a life that looks like a TV show
Wish I
Could see
My television family waiting for me

Where no one fights
And no one screams
No one lies
And no one leaves
I don’t care how the story ends
I wanna feel like I used to feel
I wanna feel like I’m living again

Whoa
I’m living again
Whoa
I’m living again
Whoa
Breathing out
And breathing in
Whoa
I’m living again

Walk away from the circles
Need to find myself
I think I need to start over
Need to start making sense

Breathe out
Breathe in
I wish I could start all over again

I wish I could do it all over again

I wish I
Could come home
To a life like the one that I used to know
I wish I
Could someday see
Everything back the way it used to be

Where no one cries
No one screams
No one hits you
And no one leaves
Everybody loves how the story ends
All the bad guys lose
And the good guys win

I wish I could do it all over again

I wanna feel someday
I can really start living again

Whoa
I’m living again
Whoa
I’m living again
Whoa
I’m living again

Whoa
I am living again

Whoa
I’m living again
Whoa
I’m living again

Whoa
Yes, I’m living again

Yes, I hate the way I feel
And it makes no sense
Five months gone
And all I got
Pretty pink flowers on a chain link fence

And I don’t like what it means
Because I know there’s more to come
I can’t go home without chrysanthemum

I walk around lost
And I don’t know why
I don’t see the faces
Or the places
That I should recognize

It’s like that dream
Where it feels like home
But it don’t look right
Yes, I will look everywhere tonight

I will not stop
Until I make things right
And I can’t go home
Until I see the sun
I can’t go home without
Chrysanthemum

No, I can’t go home without chrysanthemum

(One, two, three, four)
" Oh, come on, come on, oh"

One, Two, Three, Four

Ugh

Whoooo
(Whoooo)

Whoooo
(Whoooo)

Roll and tumble with your big heart falling
You roll and tumble alone
You reach forever with your dirty hands holding
You reach for something you will never know

Heard ya singing in a taco bell bathroom
I heard ya singing a cheap trick song
Yeah, we sing surrender on the way to county line
When I listen to that music
It makes me think of summer time
(Summer time)

Yeah, that acid summer
We were wasted and happy
We were laughing in the sunshine
(Sunshine)

Twist and turn
With your bright eyes shining
Twist and turn
In the California sun
Wait forever for the life that you dream of
Wait for something that will never come

Twist and turn
In the slow motion daydream
Twist and turn
In your own sweet hell

I don’t get so close
To the fire anymore
But when I think about you now
It makes me think of summer time

Yeah, that acid summer
We were wasted and happy
We were laughing in the sunshine

Laughing in the sunshine
Laughing in the sunshine
Laughing in the sunshine
In the sunshine

Twist and turn
With your bright eyes shining
Twist and turn
In the California sun
Wait forever for the life that you dream of
Wait for something that will never come

Twist and turn
In a slow motion free fall
You twist and turn
In your own good time

I can’t wait watch
You twisting and turning anymore

No, I never thought a good time
Would turn into a lifestyle
No, I just can’t watch you anymore
But, when I think about that summer time
That always seems to make me smile

Yeah, that acid summer
We were wasted and happy
We were laughing in the sunshine
(Go go)
(Whoooo)

We were laughing in the sunshine
(Go go)
Laughing in the sunshine
(Go go)
Laughing in the sunshine
(Go go)
Laughing in the sunshine
(Go go)
We were laughing in the sunshine
(Go)
(Go)
(Go)
(Go)

You seem to make the same mistakes everyday
Sometimes it’s hard to open your eyes
You wanna be the only cake on the table
Yeah, you say you don’t like surprises
You wanna find a pretty place you can stay

I just wanna be
Where the sun shines down

I do not like it when you shut me out

You seem to make the same mistakes all the time
Sometimes it’s not so hard to understand why
You say you hate the things that you have done
Yeah, you have been running with your back to the sun

You say you’re happy just to be alive

I just wanna be

"One, two, three"

Oh-aww-oo-oh

It makes no sense to me
(Yeah)
I was living in a different world
When I heard the news
I keep on having the same bad dream
And it makes me wanna hurt
All the people who have done this to you

When I see your face
I can see you smile
Read all about you
In the New York Times
When I see your eyes
I can see your life
When I think about what happened
It just makes me crazy

This makes no sense to me
(Yeah)
This eye for an eye thing
It has gone too far
I don’t know anyone
Who does not hurt inside
I would like to believe
We can learn from this
And maybe someday
We can make things right

I wanna believe in this world
