I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it

You treat me like I’m a princess
I’m not used to liking that
You ask how my day was

You’ve already won me over in spite of me
Don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
And don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn’t help it
It’s all your faults

Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You’re so much braver than I gave you credit for
That’s not lip service

You’ve already won me over in spite of me
And don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
And don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn’t help it
It’s all your faults

You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience

You’re the best listener that I’ve ever met
You’re my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long

I’ve never felt this healthy before
I’ve never wanted something rational
I am aware now, I am aware now

You’ve already won me over in spite of me
And don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
And don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn’t help it
It’s all your faults

You’ve already won me over in spite of me
And don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
And don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn’t help it
It’s all your faults
It’s all your faults

What’s the matter Mary Jane, you had a hard day
As you place the don’t disturb sign on the door
You lost your place in line again, what a pity
You never seem to want to dance anymore

It’s a long way down
On this roller coaster
The last chance streetcar
Went off the track
And you’re on it

I hear you’re counting sheep again Mary Jane
What’s the point of tryin’ to dream anymore
I hear you’re losing weight again Mary Jane
Do you ever wonder who you’re losing it for

Well it’s full speed baby
In the wrong direction
There’s a few more bruises
If that’s the way
You insist on heading

Please be honest Mary Jane
Are you happy
Please don’t censor your tears

You’re the sweet crusader
And you’re on your way
You’re the last great innocent
And that’s why I love you

So take this moment Mary Jane and be selfish
Worry not about the cars that go by
All that matters Mary Jane is your freedom
Keep warm my dear, keep dry

Tell me, tell me
What’s the matter Mary Jane
Tell me, tell me
Please be honest Mary Jane
Tell me
Tell me

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It’s a black fly in your Chardonnay
It’s a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think

It’s like rain on your wedding day
It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid
It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take
And who would’ve thought, it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damned life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
“Well isn’t this nice”
And isn’t it ironic…don’t you think

It’s like rain on your wedding day
It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid
It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take
And who would’ve thought, it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything’s okay and everything’s going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything’s gone wrong and everything blows up in your face

A traffic jam when you’re already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It’s meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife

And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think

It’s like rain on your wedding day
It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid
It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take
And who would’ve thought, it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
Helping you out

I don’t want to be the filler if the void is solely yours
I don’t want to be your glass of single malt whiskey
Hidden in the bottom drawer
I don’t want to be a bandage if the wound is not mine
Lend me some fresh air

I don’t want to be adored for what I merely represent to you
I don’t want to be your babysitter
You’re a very big boy now
I don’t want to be your mother
I didn’t carry you in my womb for nine months
Show me the back door

Visiting hours are nine to five and if I show up at ten past six well I
Already know that you’d find some way to sneak me in and oh
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom you see it’s
Too much to ask for and I am not the doctor ( and i’m not the )

I don’t want to be the sweeper of the eggshells that you walk upon
I don’t want to be your other half I believe that one and one make two
I don’t want to be your food or the light from the fridge on your face at midnight
Hey what are you hungry for

I don’t want to be the glue that holds your pieces together
I don’t want to be your idol
See this pedestal is high and I’m afraid of heights
I don’t want to be lived through a vicarious occasion
Please open the window

Visiting hours are nine to five and if I show up at ten past six well I
Already know that you’d find some way to sneak me in and oh
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom you see it’s
Too much to ask for and I am not the doctor ( and i’m not the )

I don’t want to live on someday when my motto is last week
I don’t want to be responsible for your fractured heart and its wounded beat
I don’t want to be a substitute for the smoke you’ve been inhaling
Well, what do you thank me
What do you thank me for

Visiting hours are nine to five and if I show up at ten past six well I
Already know that you’d find some way to sneak me in and oh
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom you see it’s
Too much to ask for and I am not the doctor ( and i’m not the )
Too much to ask for and I am not the doctor ( and i’m not the )

You like snow but only if it’s warm
You like rain but only if it’s dry
No sentimental value to the rose that fell on your floor
No fundamental excuse for the granted I’m taken for

‘Cause it’s easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you, to you

You like pain but only if it doesn’t hurt too much
And you sit, and you wait, to receive
There’s an obvious attraction
To the path of least resistence in your life
There’s an obvious aversion no amount of my insistance
Could make you try tonight

‘Cause it’s easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
To you to you to you to you to you
There’s no love no money no thrill anymore

There’s an apprehensive naked little trembling boy
With his head in his hands
There’s an underestimated and impatient little girl
Raising her hand

But it’s easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
To you, to you

Get up get up get up off of it
Get up get up get up off of it
Get out get outta here enough already
Get up get up get up off of it
Wake up
Wake up

In a church, by the face,
He talks about the people going under.

Only child know…

A man decides after seventy years,
That what he goes there for, is to unlock the door.
While those around him criticize and sleep…
And through a fractal on a breaking wall,
I see you my friend, and touch your face again.
Miracles will happen as we trip.

But we’re never gonna survive, unless…
We get a little crazy
No we’re never gonna survive, unless…
We are a little…

Cray…cray…cray…

…Crazy yellow people walking through my head.
One of them’s got a gun, to shoot the other one.
And yet together they were friends at school
Ohh, get it, get it, get it, get it no no!

If all were there when we first took the pill,
Then maybe, then maybe, then maybe, then maybe…
Miracles will happen as we speak.

But we’re never gonna survive unless…
We get a little crazy.
No we’re never gonna survive unless…
We are a little…
Crazy…
No no, never survive, unless we get a little… bit…

Oh, a little bit…
Oh, a little bit…

Oh…
Oh…

Amanda decides to go along after seventeen years…

Oh darlin…
In a sky full of people, only some want to fly,
Isn’t that crazy?
In a world full of people, only some want to fly,
Isn’t that crazy?
Crazy…
In a heaven of people there’s only some want to fly,
Ain’t that crazy?
Oh babe… Oh darlin…
In a world full of people there’s only some want to fly,
Isn’t that crazy?
Isn’t that crazy… Isn’t that crazy… Isn’t that crazy…

Ohh…
But we’re never gonna survive unless, we get a little crazy.. crazy..
No we’re never gonna to survive unless we are a little… crazy..
But we’re never gonna survive unless, we get a little crazy.. crazy..
No we’re never gonna to survive unless, we are a little.. crazy..
No no, never survive unless, we get a little bit…

And then you see things
The size
Of which you’ve never known before

They’ll break it

Someday…

Only child know….

Them things
The size
Of which you’ve never known before

Someday…
Someway…

Chorus:
Always too hot never too cold
You make your best shot too hot to hold
Never too young Never too old
You gotta go for gold

Hey boy you wanted all or nothin’
Lose the apprehension baby
And go with the flow cause you know you’ve got
Stand up if you want the answers
You need to blast ‘em straight up baby
So say what you mean and you mean to say now

Hey you don’t have to go and prove it
You just go ahead and do it
Your time is for the takin’, makin’
The best of what you got now

Chorus

Don’t care what they say about ya
You never throw a hero party
For those who oppose who you chose to be now
Maybe you could feel the power
It’s like a bomb inside your head that blows if you’re
slow when you go to use it
You, you gotta show them that you mean it just go ahead and scream it
And show them what they’re missin’ listen
To what your heart could tell ya

Chorus

You gotta go for gold and you’ll make it baby
Gold! And when you’re there you gotta
Throw your hands in the air
And wave ‘em like you just don’t care
Reachin’ teachin’ practice what you’re preachin’
Throw your hands in the air
And wave ‘em like you just don’t care
Movin’ provin’ everything you’re doin’

Chorus

You, you don’t have to go and prove it
You just go ahead and do it
Your time is for the takin’ makin’
The best of what you got now
Always too hot
Never too cold
Give your best shot
Go with the flow cause you know you’ve got to

Chorus

You got a plastic name and a plastic heart
You can play the game or you’ll never start
I’m talkin’ to you
You got a plastic house and a plastic fence
Gotta look around or you’ll lose your friends
Am I gettin’ through?

You got a plastic girl in a plastic bed
And she’s in your house made of gingerbread
And you’re in there too
Got a plastic smile on a plastic face
But it’s underneath that you can’t erase
But what can you do-do-do?

Chorus
Say Love-it’s not that hard after all
(tell me what I want, what I wanna hear)
When everybody does
Say Love-it’s gonna tear down the walls
(tell me what I want, what I wanna hear)
if everybody loves

You live in a plastic dream through a plastic card
But reality you don’t disregard
You know that it’s true
You got a plastic goal in a plastic life
Gotta search your soul gotta make it right
And here’s what you do-do-do

Chorus

Wake up in the morin’
Some are not sleepin’ tight
A matter you’ve been ignorin’
Why can’t you just say it?
Will not wait forever
Can’t you see I’m right
I want you to endeavor
To tell me again and again!

Chorus

A downtown café Saturday evenin’ and the
place is about to be closed I’m meeting my baby
yeah and order my hundreath cup of coffee today
My hands are shakin’

At half past seven I’m sittin here waitin’ for
my boy all alone for too long It’s after eleven
yeah I’m tired of waitin’ and I’m gonna go home
‘Cause I don’t need this

You never think twice before you break all the rules
You gotta be crazy if you think I’m a fool

Chorus
I’ll walk away and say good bye
If you don’t want me anymore
I’ve bot my pride
I’ll walk away and say good bye
if I don’t get the love we had before not satisfied

He finally gets here I’m waitin’ for him to ask me
why there’s a frown on my face He orders a
cold beer he has an excuse about his car
breakin’ down but I don’t buy it
You’re givin’ me sometin’ I don’t need anymore
Just gimme the word and I’ll be slammin’ the door

Chorus

His best intentians are never the same as what
he does of the end of the day. I’m feelin’ the
tension yeah Don’t gimme no reasons cause you
don’t comprehend what am I feelin’
You never think twice before you break all the rules
You gotta be crazy if you think I’m a fool
You’re givin’ me somethin’ I don’t need anymore
Just gimme the word and I’ll be slammin’ the door

Chorus

So tell me now Just say the word
It won’t be long
I’ll be long long gone…

Why do I feel it’s all up to me to see that
everything’s right and it’s how it should be
Why don’t they just leave me alone
I’ve got to prove I can
Little girl with stars in her eyes they’ve
got her all figured out and there’s nowhere
to hide why can’t they all see who I am
when will they understand

It may take some time they don’t know how
it feels because they can’t read my mind
They always say I’m too young and they
feel they should help me
But I can make it all alone out here on my own

Every day I feel so in demand and all I
wish I could find is a place I can land
One day I’ll feel comfort inside cause I’ll
know who I am

I can hold the line if I know in the end
that I won’t be left behind I don’t regret
what I’ve done I don’t think you can blame me
Now I’m standin’ all alone out here on my own

I’m not thinking ’bout leavin’ home
But I need to be on my own
Doesn’t mean I have a heart of stone
I won’t even ask them why
I can’t ever let them see me cry
Here I’m standing all alone out here on my own…
out here on my own

Feeling lost in a world full of lies
I can’t help thinkin’ that love is just
passin’ me by Hold on to what I believe
and keep an open hand

Can I have it all if there’s no one to
turn to when I stumble and fall
Is there a secret I need because no one
has told me-all alone

It may take some time cause I know
how it feels to have a lot on your mind
I’ll never feel all alone cause!
Know that I have me
Now I can make it all alone out here on my own
