Lyrics to Asteroid G :
Just what i needed
some time to myself
when i am bothered by nodody else
sometimes i ponder
over what might go wrong
i don't want to wander
from where i know belong
catch that comet and speed off
catch that comet and speed off
leave the earth now and fly free
come to asteroid g
lets go to astreoid g
so i end up even worse than before
having to scrape
my broken heart off the floor
we'll all still sit here by the curb
and if i keep quiet
she won't be disturbed
i'm going back
to where i was once
catching that comet
be back in a month
i'm going back
to where i was once
catching that comet
so i can be free
maybe i've found my place on this rock
i'll stay
so maybe i've found my place on this rock
i'll stay

Lyrics to Simon :
Time and time again
the words are messy and hard to read
(you should take your time)
i'll give it a rest
but i've got plenty of pages left
the cold unfeeling pupils
are staring back at me
because they've been programmed
to turn on and off their pixels
flash
the world empire strengthens
as voltage powers all
we shall fall
as the world goes on the internet
leave it up to me
and i'll see everything comes out well
(you should save your file)
i'll be finished soon
but if the system crashes
i'll resume
the hard drive has an ego
the circuit boards have won
digits too
but did you know
we'll let them decide
now

Lyrics to Somebody's Baby :
Well, just look at that girl with the lights comin’ up in her eyes
She’s got to be somebody’s baby
She must be somebody’s baby
Cause all the guys on the corner stand back and let her walk on by

They say she’s got to be somebody’s baby
She must be somebody’s baby
She’s got to be somebody’s baby
She’s so fine ....

She’s probably somebody’s only light
Gonna shine tonight
Oh yeah, she’s probably somebody’s baby, all right

I heard her talkin’ with her friend when she thought nobody else was around
She said she’s got to be somebody’s baby
She must be somebody’s baby
‘Cause when the cars and the signs and the street lights light up the town

She’s got to be somebody’s baby
She must be somebody’s baby
She’s got to be somebody’s baby
She’s so ....

She’s gonna be somebody’s only light
Gonna shine tonight
Oh yeah, she’s gonna be somebody’s baby tonight

I try to shut my eyes, but I can’t get her out of my sight
I know I’m gonna know her, but I can’t get over my fright
Well, I’m a gonna walk up to her
I’m gonna talk to her tonight

Oh, yeah!

Yeah, she’s gonna be somebody’s only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she’s gonna be somebody’s baby tonight

Lyrics to The Panic :
Mood: pleased
music: do the panic
Guess I got in trouble too
nothing left for me to do,
I guess I forgot to play it cool.[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Well I put on my walking shoes and walked down to the swimming pool
told the lifeguard that I think she's cool.
but i guess i forgot to play it cool.
That's when she started doing the panic,
doing the panic.
Come on come on it's time to loose control,
turn on the radio,
you're gonna feel alright
let's do the panic tonight.

Oh party down at Eric's house
his parent's just went out of town
everyone we know is hanging out.
Oh Everybody's hair was pink
like the color of their drink.
and i forgot the party and my keys.
What the fuck am I doing here?
Doing the panic,
just doing the panic,
doing the panic.
Come on come on
it's time to loose control.
turn on the radio.
you're gonna feel alright.
let's do the panic tonight.

Lyrics to Winter Wonderland :
Sleighbells ring
are you listening
in the land
snow is glistening
a beautiful sight
we're happy tonight
walking in a winter wonderland
gone away is the bluebird
here to stay is a new bird
he sings you a song
as we go along
walking in a winter wonderland
in the meadow we can build a snow man
and pretend that he is parson brown
he'll ask are you married?
we'll say no, man
but you could do the job while you're in town
when it snows then it's thrilling
though your nose gets a chilling
we'll frolic and play the eskimo way
walking in a winter wonderland
in the meadow we can build a snowman
and pretend that he's a circus (santa) clown
we'll have lots of fun with mr. snowman
until the other kiddies knock him down
later on we'll conspire
as we dream by the fire
to face unafraid
the plans that we made
walking in a winter wonderland

Lyrics to You And I Vs The Sun :
Well, we're sucked in a spot in the sky and it's got my attention
But it's something so small that it's almost an exciting adventure
Still I know that you said you and I should beware
And if it's under the light, then alright
If I know that it's there you and I should beware
And if it's up in our eyes then alright
I know if you're scared
Dark in our eyes
Baby, this golden light, put an end to the night
So, it's you and I versus the sun
Baby, this golden light, put an end to the light
So, it's you and I versus the sun
By the thought that has shaped and it's plan to escape
Still i know it was there
You and I should beware
If it's dark in our eyes, then alright
Yeah, it's you and I versus the sun...
Said, it's you and I versus the sun...

rics to I Was Better Off :
From my mouth,
now more & more everyday,
Words that have nothing to say
Well I'll find something, someday

[Chorus:]
I thought that I was better off,
I was wrong,
I am where I don't belong
In a flash, I am gone,
to return, where the sun
Shines again

Oh my god!!
Words that seem so out of place,
I wished you'd get out of my face,
Well, I'll find something someday

[Chorus]

Lyrics to So I Fell Again :
I can't say if this feeling coming over me is real,
But I know it's something you cant steal,
So I'll buy another problem to approach,
Sell a virgin lie that cant be touched.

[Chorus:]
So I fall again,
so I fall again,
So I break through this rotten piece of wood,
again

I cant say if this here f*cking subject should be dropped,
But I know its something you can't stop,
So I'll buy another pick up line & sigh,
And pretend that everything is all right

[Chorus]

Lyrics to Recently Distressed :
Dear recently distressed,
I am sorry, to inform you,
that I lost your kid's address,
you see my wings are on the fritz,
I can't even get up off the ground,
im really sorry for this mess,[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
cuz it all came crashing down

[chorus:]
Can I remember,
someone please tell me how to do my job,
or im out of work
speaking frankly, you'll be out of
dear recently distressed.

Can I remember,
someone please tell me how to do my job,
or im out of work
Speaking frankly, you'll be out of luck.. yeah..

[Chorus]

Lyrics to Can't Take It :
Something strange,
Somehow I get the feeling
I'm where everyone knows your name,
It's not much different,
but its surely not the same
you'll find peace in knowing now,
I'm so sick and tired of hearing myself
believe me, I never guessed,
You had one up your sleeve
well there I go

[chorus:]
So smile you've done your part,
but I'm waiting for someone to say,
I cant take it any more, yea,
Cant take it any more, yea
Whats so wrong with being sad

Left alone,
I was stuck to go over all the things
That I've done wrong,
sure I was stuck in a hole
But now we've got our song
After all the love is gone,
Where'd you get off saying
It's not so lame
We've had it different and
I know we're not the same
So there I go

Lyrics to The Local Black And Red :
Sitting in your room,
Drinking your perfume,
Wondering which day of the week
I'll die on now,
I'm lying on your bed,
Unscrewing your head,
Trying to figure out
What's wrong, inside,
So you don't hate yourself tonight, yeah

So now you fall asleep,
Inside a tambourine,
Next to broken headphones
& your high school yearbook
I wrote on the final page,
Wish I could've stayed around
to watch the last band play, hey hey hey,
I heard they just broke up yesterday..

[Chorus:]
Frequenting the local black & red,
& how that band played
you really had to stare,
you'd hardly be aware
that you were blinking,
you'd hardly be aware
that you were blinking yeah....

Lyrics to Don't Get Down :
I wanna live on the moon,
Never see a human again,
And as the earth explodes,
I'll light a candle for my dead best friends
I don't enjoy this place,
My best friends are so mean
I look up to the sky when I am sad,
cuz the planets don't get down on me
I just want to fall asleep,

I wanna live on the moon
Never see a human again,
and as the earth explodes,
I'll light that candle for my dead best friends,
I look up to the sky when I am sad,
cuz the planets don't get down on me

I just wanna fall asleep
and dream of a place that's warm,
I just wanna fall asleep
and dream of a place that's warm, oh yeah..

I look up to the sky when I am sad,
cuz the planets don't get down on me

Lyrics to Dying Of Silence :
So as I stand here dying of silence tonight,
The quiet spell you slung on the ceiling fan
You will return again,

[chorus:]
Why?
I ask myself sometimes,
Dine on small talk after school
Why?
I ask myself sometimes

So as the mood gets darker and darker tonight,
Can't help but feel a little
uncomfortable alright
you will return again

[chorus]

Why?
I ask myself sometimes
Why, why , why?
I ask myself sometimes
Why, why, why?

Lyrics to Down In A Second :
Can I find a place of solace to unscale?
Should I take a social climb? Should I fail?
Have we gathered here to buzz or just to roach?
Have I bought another problem to approach?

If you want to leave me
If you want to just throw me away
I'll be down in a second
I'll be down in a second

How come now it seems that you no longer care?
How can I live a life that seems no longer fair?
Have we noticed yet that this is not a game?
Have I bought a fast way to a claim to fame?

If you want to leave me
If you want to just throw me away
I'll be down in a second
I'll be down in a second

If you want to leave me
If you want to just throw me away
I'll be down in a second
I'll be down in a second

If you want to leave me
If you want to just throw me away
I'll be down in a second
I'll be down in a second

Lyrics to Lisa (Does It Hurt You?) :
Behind the bleachers,
I'll tell you a secret,
of locker room dreams
Lunchbox angel
Will you tell me your story,
Will you go with me

[chorus:]
Does it hurt you?
Does it pain you?
To say the words
That mean so much to me,
Does it hurt you?
Does it pain you?
Or did you lock it up
to hide away?

We are the laziest
People there could be,
For we only wrote one verse
But I asked Jacques
What I should put in place of this,
He said just leave it
(oh, and one more thing)

Lyrics to Rest Easy :
It's all clear,
No need for you to fear,
Nothing's under the bed tonight
It's alright
No need for you to fright,
Nothing's after you tonight[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

[chorus:]
If I pretend that I'm asleep
Will that prevent from making me
their next meal,

It's alright
No need for you to fright,
You've only lost your sense of sight
Rest your head
And dream yourself to bed,
Or else I wont sleep well tonight

[chorus]

If I hold out to the light of day
Will they disintegrate away, far away

Lyrics to Sleep Machine :
Some things melt away,
As night dissolves to day
Some things only stay,
As silent darkness slowly kills me, Oooh
I turn to you,
And stir your blank expression,
You're the one for me
Help me get to sleep
(nightynight goodnite)
Something isn't right,
It seems that every night, I need you

More and more,
You take me away,
More and more,
I need you to stay ,
More and more,
distract me from
the instant lost of light,
more and more, I need you tonight

Come let's go for awhile
and pretend you're mine for awhile
Come let's go
Yeah,

More & more
You take me away,
More & more,
I need you to stay
More and more
distract me from
the instant loss of light
More and more,
I need you.... Good night

Lyrics to California :
We've been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for #1
California here we come
Right back where we started from

Hustlers grab your guns
Your shadow weighs a ton
Driving down the 101
California here we come
Right back where we started from

California!
Here we come!

On the stereo
Listen as we go
Nothing's gonna stop me now
California here we come
Right back where we started from
Pedal to the floor
Thinkin' of the roar
Gotta get us to the show
California here we come
Right back where we started from

California!
Here we come!

Lyrics to Always On My Mind :
Everybody in this place can up and move away
For all I care this town's already dead and empty
I'm told that I'm a victim of obsession
That's what my friends say
Oh I'm a fool for having ever let her tempt me

Well I turn pale when she walks by
I am lost in her eyes
She is always on my mind
She is always on my mind

She glances over but she keeps on walking down that street
All I can do is hope that she is thinking of me
If I could blink if I could breathe If I could get my legs to move
Well this could be the day I get this girl to love me

Well I turn pale when she walks by
I am lost in her eyes
She is always on my mind
She is always on my mind
She had turned from a sound,
Well I must have cried out loud
She is always on my mind
She is always on my mind

Lyrics to Lonely Day :
I could tell from the minute I woke up
It was going to be a lonely lonely
lonely lonely day.
Rise and shine rub the sleep out of my eyes
And try to tell myself I can't
go back to bed
It's gonna be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day.
Even though the sun is shining down on me and I should feel about as happy as can be
I just got here and I already want to leave
It's gonna be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day

Everybody knows that something's wrong
But nobody knows what's going on
We all sing the same old song
When you want it all to go away
It's shaping up to be a lonely day

I could tell from the minute I woke up it was going to be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day

Lyrics to One Ray Of Sunlight :
Goodness sometimes things get bad
But I swear
I'm doing all I can
So try all you want to
I'm gonna try too

If I get one ray of sunlight to hold in my hand
Maybe we can be happy again
I'll try for one ray of sunlight to hold in my hand
Maybe we can be happy and then...

Things don't go as I planned
But I swear I'm doing all I can
So try all you want to
I'm gonna try too

If I get one ray of sunlight to hold in my hand
Maybe we can be happy again
I'll try for one ray of sunlight to hold in my hand
And I guess if this isn't the end
Maybe we can be happy again

Lyrics to Anthem :
I woke up today a song was swimming in my head
And I hummed it to myself as I got out of bed
And on the way to take a shower it all just dawned on me
That a song like this just might go down in history
I quickly ran back to get my guitar[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
A pen and some paper

'Cause this whole world needs an Anthem
And I'm trying to put the words where they belong
Yeah this whole world needs an Anthem
And I'm hoping everyone will sing along

Well I quickly got to work and put the song in gear
And my neighbor rang the doorbell said it caught his ear
I was playing it so loud the whole neighborhood could hear
And at night from every household it became quite clear
Everyone was singing along
The same notes the same song
Or maybe I heard it wrong

'Cause this whole world needs an Anthem
And I'm trying to put the words where they belong
Yeah this whole world needs an Anthem
And I'm hoping everyone will sing along.

Lyrics to In Our Darkest Hour :
Oh yeah it started today in a cloud If I was the sun I would shout
I've got so much shining left before I'm out
Yeah it began with a spark then a flame grew into a fire and spread out again
And I just woke up here surrounded by the whole thing

Well, we have got to get out of here
In our darkest hour
When we may not make it

I can't see a thing through the smoke and if I could breathe
I'd try not to choke
No where to run no where to hide no where to go
Sometimes I get stuck yeah I get so upset
I burn at the ends I learn to regret
Just one toss of that faithful cigarette

Well, we have got to get out of here
In our darkest hour
I think the end is near I can feel it
We have got to get out of here
In our darkest hour
When we may not make it

Lyrics to Turn Smile Shift Repeat :
Here they come the business men like a herd of cattle rumbling in
The exchange has officially begun
Now all the offices are buzzing the executives are busy bees
They watch the gears turn in the employees
They just Turn Smile Shift Repeat
There's a crowd forming on Wallstreet near the tallest building on the block
A suit has lost his fortune to the stocks
There was no time to see his fatal flaw the madness set in with the loss
Now he cuts at throats to watch the heads fall off
They just Turn Smile Shift Repeat

Decimal points and dollar signs taxes penalties and fines
He's come to cut you down
Numbers passwords protocol it's not enough to save your soul
He's come to cut you down
Bring you right back to zero
They just Turn Smile Shift Repeat

Lyrics to Hey Now Girl :
Well let me tell you I have seen a monster age of seventeen
Who'll let you in to kick you out and knows what love is "all about"

Hey now girl I see you walking by
And long ago you used to stop and talk now you just wink your eye
and I'm surprised you look all grown up
A champagne glass next to a paper cup
I stopped you just to say it
Hey now girl

Her tongue is black haven't you heard her mutter those three dirty words
For all those foolish boys to hear like a siren bringing ships so near

Hey now girl I see you walking by
And I remember how you used to smile or how hard you used to try
It's in your eyes and I'm in a trance
A winter chill next to a spring romance
I stopped you just to say it
Hey now girl

Lyrics to Nobody's Fault :
Everything is ok everything is fine
I give you everything you ask for don't be so unkind
Well every time you're mad about every little thing
But it's too soon to pull out or pull out that wedding ring
I'm so ready I'm not ready[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
This little boy is running right back home
I guess it's nobody's fault now but my own
Never had the patience never had the time
Never knew that working hard was such a crime
Well I thought I could make you happy down the line
But I guess it's been over since you heard This Heart of Mine
On your mark get set go
This little boy is running right back home
I guess it's nobody's fault now but my own
