1. Doll
You know in all the time that we shared
i´ve never been so scared
doll me up in my bad luck
i´ll meet you there
i wish i never had taken this dare
i wasn´t quite prepared
doll me up in my bad luck
doll me up in my bad luck
i´ll meet you there
2. Monkey Wrench
What have we done with innocence
it disappeard with time it never made much sense
adolecent residence
wasting another night on planning my revenge
one in Ten
don´t want to be your monkey wrench
one more indescent accident
i´d rather leave than suffer this
i´ll never be your monkey wrench
all this time to make amends
what do you do when all your enemies are friends?
now and then I´ll try to bend
under pressure wind up snapping in the end
one in ten
don´t want to be your monkey wrench
one more indescent accident
I´d rather leave than suffer this
I´ll never be your monkey wrench
temper
one last thing before I quit
I never wanted any more than
I could fit into my head I still remember
every single word you said and all the
shit that somehow came along with it
still there´s one thing that comforts me
since I was always caged and now I´m free
don´t want to be your monkey wrench
one more indescent accident
I´d rather leave than suffer this
I´ll never be your monkey wrench
don´t want to be your monkey wrench
3. Hey, Johnny Park!
Come and I´ll take you under
this beautiful bruises colors
everything fades in time its ture
wish that I had another
stab at the undercover
was it a change in mind for you
It´s impossible I can´t ley it out
you´ll never know am I selling you out
sit and I watch your every move
your eyes still remind me of angels that hover above eyes
that can change from blind to blue
now that I´ve found my reward
I´d throuw it away long before
I´d share a piece of mine with you
4. My Poor Brain
Real life is so hard
we hide in the stars
rhat´s where our heads are
my head an your heart
this is a blackout
don´t let it go to waste
this is a blackout
I want to detonate
when you are so far
i´m falling apart
lose all my sonar
you jam my radar
sometimes I feel I´m getting stuck
between the handshake and the fuck
you´ve got me on guard
ive got my head and your heart
the same in the stars
sometimes I wish that I could change
I can save you from My Poor Brain
ok
5. Wind Up
I have a choice between the bat or the belt
each time I hear about the hand you been dealt
spare me confession it´s confession you see
maybe I´ll fall behind but I don´t Mind Because I´ll catch up
I want a song that indelible like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
will I be happy on the back of the shelf
will you be happy when were sharing a cell
spare me your questions since you know me so well
someday you´ll realize that I get shy and choke up
what is wrong with this animal I´m terrible
I hope you neer see me windup
farewell my sweet paramania
my only promise is that I´ll never tell
keep you at a distance from the things that I felt
I´ll bite the bullet take the beating until
I take it all back anyway
what was I supposed to say?
6. Up In Arms
the Rain is here, And you my dear
are still my friend
It´s true the two of us are back
as one again
I was the one who left you
always coming back I could not forget you girl
now I am up in arms again
together now, I don´t know how
this love could end
my lonely heart falls apart
for you to mend
I was the one who left you
always coming back I could not forget you girl
now I am up in arms again
7. My Hero
Too alarming now to talk about
take your pictures down and shake it out
truth or consequence, say it aloud
use that evidence, race it around
there goes my hero
watch him as he goes
there goes my hero
he´s ordinary
don´t the best of them bleed it out
while the rest of them peter out
truth or consequence, say it aloud
use that evidence, race it around
there goes my hero
watch him as he goes
there goes my hero
he´s ordinary
kudos my hero leaving all the best
you know my hero, the one that´s on
there goes my hero
watch him as he goes
there goes my hero
he´s ordinary
8. See You
these notes are marked return to sender
I´ll save this letter for myself
I wish you only knew
how good it is to see you
see you.
these steps i take dont get me anywhere
I´m gettin further from myself
one thing is always true
how good it is to see you
see you.
9. Enough Space
Always waiting for something
maybe fly a machine
that´s when I found Lilly
the best I´ve ever seen
only wanted to steal it
trying to make her my own
people line up to see her
but it there never seems to be enough space
space
10. February Stars
Hangin´ on
here until I´m gone
right where I belong
just hangin´ on
even though
I watched you come and go
how was I to know
you´d steal the show
one day I´ll have enough to gamble
i´ll wait to hear your final call
bet it all
hangin´ on
here until I´m gone
right where I belong
just hangin´ on
even though
I pass this time alone
somewhere so unknown it heals the soul
you ask for walls
I´ll build them higher
we´ll lie in shadows of them all
I´d stand but they´re much to tall
and I fall
february stars
floating in the dark
temporary stars
february stars
11. Everlong
Hello I´ve waited here for you everlong
tonight I throw myself into
and out of the red, out of her head she sang
come down and waste away with me down with me
slow how you wanted it to be
I´m over my head, out of her head she sang
and I wonder when I sing along with you
if every thing could ever be this real forever
if anything could ever be this good again
the only thing I´ll ever ask of you
you gotta promise not to stop when I say when
breathe out so I can breathe you in hold you in
and now I know you´ve always been
out of your head, out of my head I sang
12. Walking After You
Tonight I´m tangled in my blanket of clowns
dreaming aloud
things do just won´t do without you matter of fact
I´m on your back
I´m on your back
I´m on your back
if you walk out on me
I´m walking after you
if you walk out on me
I´m walking after you
if youd accept surrender give up some more
would you adore
I could not be without you matter of fact
I´m on your back
I´m on your back
I´m on your back
if you walk out on me
I´m walking after you
if you walk out on me
I´m walking after you
now the heart is cracked in two
I´m on your back
I cannot be without you matter of fact
I´m on your back
if you walk out on me
I´m walking after you
if you walk out on me
I´m walking after you
if you walk out right on me
I´m walking after you
now the heart is cracked in two
I´m on your back
13. New Way Home
Have you found your way around the down and out?
I know, it must seem long, so wrong
I´m still trying to keep this time from running out
head down, always moving on and on and on
I never heard this one and
another early morning takes me, wakes me into
if you could manage me, I´ll try to manage you
but lately, it´s all I ever do
I felt like this on my way home, I´m not scared
I pass boats and the Kingdome, I´m not scared
I´ll never tell you the secrets I´m holding
I´m sure these things must bore you
I can(t) find another way
I´ll never tell you the secrets I´m holding
I love this leash that holds me
when I try to run away
I felt like this on my way home, I´m not scared
I pass boats and the Kingdome, I´m not scared
