Carousel

     I talk to you every now and then 
     I never felt so alone again 
     I stop to think at a wishing well 
     My thoughts send me on a carousel 
     Here I am standing on my own 
     Not a motion from the telephone 
     I know not a reason why 
     Solitudes a reason to die 

     Just you wait and see 
     As school life is a 
     It is a woken dream 
     Aren't you feeling alone? 

     I guess its just another 
     I guess its just another 
     I guess its just another night alone 

     Now as I walk down the street 
     I need a job just to sleep in sheets 
     Buying food every once in a while 
     But not enough to purchase a smile 

     A tank of gas is a treasure to me 
     I know now that nothing is free 
     I talk to you every now and then 
     I never felt so alone again 

     Just you wait and see 
     As school life is a 
     It is a woken dream 
     Aren't you feeling alone? 

     I guess its just another 
     I guess its just another 
     I guess its just another night alone

TV

     When I'm at work, ya, I always rush right home for lunch 
     So I can check out what's up on the Brady Bunch 
     And when I'm walking through the front door at night 
     I gotta see who's winning on The Price is Right, oh 

     I never dreamed that I'd spend my days 
     Staring at some tube emitting cathode rays 
     I need my TV 

     What's happening in this world, I don't care at all 
     But it better not pre-empt Monday Night Football 
     I can't even come up with my own views 
     I'm taught how to think from the evening news, oh 

     I never dreamed that I'd spend my days 
     Staring at some tube emitting cathode rays 
     I need my TV 

     Lalala...

Strings

     I would do anything and that's 
     What scares me so bad 
     Don't want to live my life alone 
     Don't want to go back to what I had 
     Don't want to spend my life without 
     All those special things 
     Don't want to walk around being tied to 
     Anyone else's 

     Strings, strings, strings, strings 

     I would do anything and that's 
     What scares me so bad 
     Don't want to live my life alone 
     Don't want to go back to what I had 

     Don't want to spend my life without 
     All those special things 
     Don't want to walk around being tied to 
     Anyone else's 

     Strings, strings, strings, strings 
     Strings, strings, strings, strings

Fentoozler

     At the risk of sounding rude 
     Just who the fuck do you think you are 
     To tell me what you expect of me today? 
     Well, you can take your attitude 
     You're out of luck, you've gone way too far 
     If you think there's any chance I'm gonna stay 

     How long can I string you along? 
     How little of myself can I give 
     And still make you believe I care? 

     At the risk of sounding trite 
     Why the fuck do you think you're right 
     About every little thing that you say? 

     And do you think that it is right 
     For Tom to spend another night 
     Writing songs about all the people he thinks are gay? 

     How long can I string you along? 
     How little of myself can I give 
     And still make you believe I care? 

     How long can I string you along 
     How little of myself can I give 
     And still make you believe I care?

Time

     When the clock strikes two 
     There's just so much to do 
     And I can't explain what I need 

     Jobs and social groups 
     Hearing the latest news 
     Keeping your reputation clean 

     And I don't want to worry 
     About being on time 
     I see the way you hurry 
     And time runs your life 
     Again 

     The difference between East and West 
     Money means so much less 
     And objects aren't so important to buy 

     I wish that a clock 
     Could often just be stopped 
     And then we look into the time 

     And I don't want to worry 
     About being on time 
     I see the way you hurry 
     And time runs your life 
     Again

Romeo and Rebecca

     Walking through the grass 
     Another blade next to you from the ground 
     As the wind does pass 
     I notice as you feel the breath of my shout 
     Your words are kind 
     The kind that repeatedly say no 
     But that's alright 
     I'm older than you so I've got time 

     What have you said, reach out your hand 
     There's a black shadow on my wall 
     But as I look into my mind 
     I can see that girls are a waste of time 

     We've all seen the bridge 
     A broken seam and a girl on one side 
     You think your words will work 
     They only work when you lay down and close your eyes 

     I thought of all the lines 
     All the right ones used at all the wrong times 
     But that's alright 
     Depression's just a sarcastic state of mind 

     What have you said, reach out your hand 
     There's a black shadow on my wall 
     But as I look into my mind 
     I can see that girls are a waste of time 

     I don't want to live alone 
     I don't want to live in 
     My broken dreams of you 

     I don't want to live along with 
     My broken dreams of you 
     I don't want to live along with 
     My broken dreams of you

21 Days

     My mind wanders as I'm trying not to fall in love with you 
     Cause every time I awake I ponder on my mistakes of 
     What I said, it is always my esteen that I sure lose 
     Playing those stupid games as I always end up chasing you 

     I can't help myself anymore 
     Rehearsing my thoughts as I'm too scared to come to your door 
     I pushed it all aside just to stand next to you 
     But now you won't talk to me for something that I didn't do 

     It's not gonna work 

     And I'm trying not to think of you 
     I'm all confused as I think of the things that I would do 
     I'm all shook up as I get all nervous inside 
     My emotions are something that I will always hide

Point of View

     Two different people, two different places 
     Through a one way window with two different faces 
     Agreements are not reached, faces are forgotten 
     The other person's shoes, you have got in 
     Stubborn minded enclosed to your own world 
     Wake up and see someone else's morals 
     Want is right to you 
     Might be true 

     It's a different point of view to you 
     You cannot see things that are different to me 
     And I can't understand why you cannot see 
     The things that I cannot see 

     I see what you don't see 
     I see what you don't see 
     Turn around and the shadows are all around me 

     Two different people, two different places 
     Through a one way window with two different faces 
     Agreements are not reached, faces are forgotten 
     The other person's shoes, you have got in

My Pet Sally

     I'm gonna wanna see myself with someone too 
     Friends I don't pay are friends i never knew 
     So I took the chance and got some help from a few 
     And got a long and skinny friend to talk to 
     Cause I have the time and the liberty 
     To play with my pet sally 
     Please don't go away, sally please 

     No more lonely showers and uneaten foods
     My salamander has hygiene too 
     And he thinks of me the way I think of you 
     The only next step is for him to say I do 

     Sally please don't go away 
     I won't be living in yesterday 
     The lonely nights 
     Getting beat up by gays in bar fights

Reebok Commercial

     You are beter than me, 
     Girls money and everything I... 
     Try to compete with you 
     But you beat me at everything I do 

     I see in you 
     The things that I would like to be 
     But i'm different from you 
     So you will have to be like me 

     I cannot be bought my 
     personality is what I choose 
     I was brought up without a silver cup! 
     I won't covet the things owned by you 

     For all the world 
     Material things are now more and more 
     Jealousy for me an you 

     I won't covet the things owned by your store

Toast and Bananas

     Do you wanna know what I think of you? 
     Cause you're not the way I thought you should be 
     Do take back what you said 

     It's time to fix, it's time to fix your head 
     And now all alone, one's less than two 
     I've never been better off living lonely 
     To listen to what you say 
     I couldn't care less of what you say 

     What did you think of me acting this way 
     I guess you never really thought at all 
     Is that what you call your brain? 
     Is that why I call you hang up on me? 

     I wanted to know, I didn't want to lose 
     And now I'm a man who's just living small 
     Listen to what you say 
     I couldn't care less of what you say 

     To me as I walk alone I 
     Much rather be riding prone, man 
     To be just another one you are lame to 

     I wanted to know, I didn't want to lose 
     But now I'm a man who's just living small 
     Listen to what you say 
     I couldn't care less of what you say 

     To me as I tune you out of my mind 
     Won't bend over backwards or 
     Take another step there to 
     Hear from you again 

     Don't talk to me as I walk alone, I 
     Much rather be riding prone, man 
     Be just another one you are lame to 

     Don't talk to me as I tune you out of my mind 
     Won't bend over backwards or 
     Take another step there to 
     Hear from you again 

     Don't talk to me as I walk alone, I 
     Much rather be riding prone, man 
     To be just another one you are lame to

The Girl Next Door

     White girl living in the big city 
     In a big apartment house 
     She's living with her boyfriend now 

     She drives off every day for school and work 
     She washes dishes now 
     And watches tv on the pull out couch 

     And every day's the same 

     White girl moved back to the suburbs 
     And she finally found a man 
     Who knows how to take care of her 

     She bought the perfect little house 
     And the lawn's well manicured 
     And she'd never missed a day of work 

     And every day's the same 

     White girl couldn't go on knowing 
     She was just here wasting her time 
     She drowned in the lake last night 

     They found her bloated body floating 
     But she still walks around 
     Performing all her daily chores 

     She still don't know what life's about 

     Cause every day's the same 
     And she's got no one to love

Don't

     There was a time long ago 
     But it seemed like yesterday 
     When all I wanted was you 
     And now you make a segway 
     As you turn your face away 
     And I know your words aren't true 

     And I don't want your lies 
     And I don't think that I'm 
     better than you inside 

     And you can take off your disguise 
     Cause I can see the truth that's hidden 
     Behind your eyes 

     And all those words that you don't say 
     Just mean less and less each day 
     You can't make me shed a tear 

     I think about tomorrow 
     Another day of sorrow 
     But I don't think that I'll be here
