Enrique played in a band. Down at the sand. He hustled women and worked on his tan. Drove an IROQ camero quadrophonic 8 track stereo. He was a sharp dressin' suave. Cultured and smooth ladies man.
Maria stared in the show. It's all that she knows. She loved Enrique and bilar and snow. She knew her lover had others, but her heart was a desparate young soul. She sold a night to a stranger while searching for her pot of gold.
(CHORUS) We can dance to the rhythm, we can dace to the mornin' light. On a sultury summer night. The time is right for love. Livin' libido loco days. (x2)
Arturo led a small gang. A downtown thang. He loved Maria the young bird who sang. He bought her heart for a night, with some lines at the local disco. She wore his love on her face, in the back of Arturo's limo.
Enrique was quite aware, of Maria's afair. He vowed 'vengence Arturo I swear.' He brought his blade to the fight, but they both suffered their final blow. Now Maria's in mourning, as she's left to live life alone.
(CHORUS)
It's been twenty years past, since Maria's been last. To the disco where she lost her soul. She wipes a tear from her eye, and she still fights memories of ago. As her new limo ride let's her in and asks 'how much, let's go
I drove really fast before I hit the wall I was punch drunk, spinnin' round, heading for a fall Do or die now, got scared, so I stalled You can have it all
<i>[Chorus:]</i> Your eyes inside the back of my mind Stars collide to see who outshines Your eyes inside the back of my mind It's making me blind
We can hate We can hate each other We can be down then fuck one another We can hold it up, then set it on fire Life is sacrifice and you can be a martyr But it's more than I can stand When you're looking down on me Cause I can't live up to you, that makes me incomplete I never wanted anything more So I'll just say good-bye and watch you walk out the door I want to be all you want me to be I want to be all you think that you see Would you leave me here when nobody cares? I tried really hard not to care at all Medicate myself Xanax, alcohol My admissions made me feel so small You can keep it all I can change We can change for each other We can let go and accept one another We can tear it down to the ground and start over Life is compromise <i>[x2]</i> So if I let you down then I'll pick you up again In the end Suspend confidence in me to come through To be who I want to be and to do what I want to do Never turn my back on you
I broke down on a Japanese street Words unsaid they scar so deep Bullshit, Palanuik both make me choke Too much JD too much coke She says speed up I want to go faster She holds on but I outlast her Build it up but what does that matter We can build it up but we always watch it shatter
[Chorus] Get up the house is on fire Get up I want to get higher Get up you mother fucking liar You make me feel alone
I burned out in Shibuya station Lost all my friends hazard occupation Manic Compression like quicksand slip Ate too many mushrooms I'm gonna be sick She says slow down you're going through the motions I start to crash like a plane in the ocean Build it up but what does that matter When the shit goes down we all fucking scatter
For a minute, she's stuck spinning in it Still it's better to lose hope than dying in it Off track, impact, slam! She's lying in it Now she leads the way to the lost cost exhibit
You got to break through the walls that try to hold you Fool you so that fear will always mold you Push through Find that the walls are beneath you
And the end of the line is a brand new avenue
(chorus)
You said nothing in this world could ever Make you feel better than I do (HEY HEY) You said no one in this world could ever Take away all this from you So hold on just a little longer When you don't feel that you belong All I want is a chance to fall into you(end) What a sin it's to find fulfillment If it's better to crash land than flying in it Violins, silence, anger violence Says to herself "I'm going out of my mind" Pre-chorus and chorus Break yourself from old ties that hold you down You inspire me, You inspire me I don't mind wasting time with you
Well I'm tired, so tired of getting up and wasting another day I wish the picture on the wall would still say it all But now yesterday is so far away And I would give anything, say anything
To keep it all like it was But you just throw it all away And I think this house is not my home I think that I'd rather be alone tonight I'm trying, trying to fake it
I'm tired, so tired, of giving up and taking all the blame I wish the shouting and the fights would stop for the night Can't close my eyes and make them all go away And I would give anything, say anything To keep it all like it was But you just throw it all away
[Chorus]
This is the part where you say You can't stay together just for me This is the part where you make me choose On whose side I want to be This is the part where you decide What's going to be best for me This is the start Now we grow apart Now we grow apart
Did you ever get the feeling that you were all alone And no one ever knew you and you never had a home And the lights and the colors do their best to distract you Fuck you. I don't even know why I like you It's all a blur <i>[x2]</i> Like a picture,it's all a blur You don't know what you're missing You don't know what you're missing I've been trying so hard just to keep away And now look where I am standing at today Trying so hard to walk away But it's impossible to watch you fade away Did you ever stop believing after all was said and done? When you turned to your friends but they were long gone And the sky and the snapshots remind you I trust you and I'm always going to miss you It's all a blur, it's all a blur Like a picture Reminds me who you were <i>[Repeat Chorus]</i> Every time I see you look at me I see those distant eyes and your looks are fading Every time you're next to me I want to talk and feel and act like we used to Cause everybody knows and everybody cares Until they're walking in my shoes And now I know It's you that I cannot lose It's all a blur And I owe you You can take it all When I call, pick up the phone like you used to It's all a blur Like a picture It's all a blur You're just a blur! I've been trying so hard just to keep away And now look where I am standing at today Trying so hard to walk away But it's impossible to watch you fade away Trying, dying so hard I've been denying that I'm not scarred I've been crying, lying so far But it's impossible to fill this space Impossible to take your place Impossible to watch you fade away Watch you fade away <i>[x3]</i>
Lie to me Tell me that everything will be all right (Who-o-a) Lie to me Don't say it didn't mean anything 1-2-3 GO! I should have known when my kicks Crossed the hinge on your door That you had something more in store Implore Do not push my back up to the wall <i>[x2]</i> This is a set up Rush adrenaline Fake, phony, fed up Bass, Alkaline This is a set up Waste everything You never told me Till the pressure started building You never told me I was wrong I was right <i>[x2]</i> You never told me Till the building started shaking Now I'm surrounded on all sides Lie to me Tell me that everything will be all right (Who-o-a) Lie to me Don't say it didn't mean anything Lie to me Killing joke cause your smile was the calm to the storm And the ties that bind have been torn I said Do not push my back to the wall <i>[x2]</i> <i>[Repeat Chorus]</i> You take this for granted Right? And I never wanted anybody else You took this all for granted You took it all
Hello tomorrow and good-bye to yesterday We've been waiting for this moment And we still don't know what to say We may never find the answers or know the reason why Why we both decided we should say good-bye
Nothing but good things are coming my way If you are going please let me stay You bring me down when I'm getting high You turn me on I amplify 1 -2-3 times you've broken me I won't bleed like this forever I'm down to ride but my wings are severed Blindside blitz- evacuation I'm stuck in hell your on vacation 1-2-3 times you've broken me
I've been waiting Waiting for the day I've been waiting Waiting for the day I'm still waiting for tomorrow Tired of living in yesterday I've been waiting Waiting for the day I'd be over you
Oceans, devotions, these notions run dry Floating away and I don't know why Spend all my days in a bottle thinking You're like an anchor got me sinking 1-2-3 times you've broken me
Say good-bye now and mean it forever Got to move on and keep it together Forget the things that you've said and you've done That's in the past, here comes the sun 1-2-3 times you've broken me
Turn the TV off Turn me on Disbelief confidence is gone You can take all this from me Stands my integrity (now) I'm so sick of mother fuckers Crooked wars that they wage
Should I sit and count the seconds till were all blown away? Sex, tyrants, violence on the news everyday Ignorance turned anger into hate
Turn away Strength in diversity, unity, and evolution Strength in diversity, unity, and evolution Strength in diversity, unity, and evolution Strength in diversity, unity, and evolution
Revolution Now you're gone and it's forever Nothing is the same Right to wrong we'll come together Time to make a change
Turn the TV off Turn me on Disbelief confidence is gone You can take all this from me Stands my integrity (now) And these wars that we wage
Why? An eye for an eye So I lock, load, engage Casualty high supply We'll be missing all our friends who die to get us by Courage facing fear Hate increase decline
[Chorus]
Strength in diversity, unity, and evolution Strength in diversity, unity, and evolution Strength in diversity, unity, and evolution Strength in diversity, unity, and evolution
Revolution Turn the TV off Turn me on Disbelief confidence is gone If you take all of this from me Then all of you can (come together)
She wants to know where I've been She's got the gloves on again She thinks she's smooth now I'm saying I'm not going down (I'm not going down) You say this ain't the end to me Fall down, pull the rug under me Feels like I'm falling but I tell you I'm not going down One day, you'll be the end of me Go blind, pull the wool over me Feels like I'm falling but I tell you I'm not going down Because you push me over the edge Tired of wasting my time, tired of wasting my breath Because you push me over the edge Tired of wasting my time And you're putting me through this again (through this again) She wants to fight and I've been drinking We put the walls up again I know she's right that I'm tripping But I'm not going down Repeat Chorus Because you Never did try Never did look to see that I'm alright (whoaaaaaa) Because you're Always right Gotta fight Always wanna know (whoaaaaaa) Because you..... (x2) Repeat Chorus
Another tragedy in the news, Someone shooting down the right to choose. It doesn't seem at all that they chose the right way.
Another law I heard got passed today, Someone's trying to take my rights away. It doesn't seem to me they chose the right way.
It's out of my hands, But stuck in my mind, In time I find my spine is crooked in design I want to be so much more (I want to be so much)
Rescue me Take this hand, by myself, alone I stand
Rescue me From this world, from myself, before I grow old Someone rescue me.
Does anybody ever feel this way? Does anybody have the guts to say? It doesn't seem at all they chose the right way (Yo man you're going the wrong way)
Who am I to say I disagree? Who am I not to change a thing? Because I don't believe they chose the right way (Hey man you're going the wrong way)
It's out of my hands, But stuck in my mind, In time I find my spine is crooked in design I want to be so much more (I want to be so much)
Rescue me Take this hand, by myself, alone I stand...
Rescue me From this world, from myself, before I grow old Here it comes again
Excuse too weak to stand on I'm falling off Too weak to stand on I'm falling off Too weak to hang on Falling for you to catch me
Excuse too weak to stand on I'm falling off Too weak to stand on I'm falling off Too weak to hang on Falling for you to catch me, catch me
I'm afraid That no one is changing who's to blame? Someone save me!
Rescue me Take this hand, by myself, alone I stand
Rescue me From this world, from myself, before I grow old Someone rescue me
I've got girls, they're in my room. The only things my room is not here. 10 til 2, the clock won't move, detention hall is better with beer.
I can do it all in my room. I can be a rock star with a bad attitude (come on). I am the king in my room. I can ground my mom and dad for being bad if I choose.

I can fake it all in my room, I can be a quarterback, I'm the coolest guy in school (check it). I can get on down in my room. I can go and freak Rebecca Romijn in the nude.
(CHORUS)
TV, munchies, ______, DVD in my room. Watchin' juggies, spankin' monkies, doughnut dunkin' in my room. Ladies love me, pour me heinies, feed me grapies, in my room. Write a shitty record, for my record label in my room.
Stutter step through another trap set by deception Mention rejection Always lies in your eyes Settles in your action Jeopardize everything that I want And I won't compromise anything anymore In any way victimize myself any more Liberty (yeah)
Manipulations on my mind Expectations well defined Frustrate me Liberate me
Cause everything's falling apart You can't control me, You can't control me Everything's falling apart Now I can't see you Doesn't matter what I do I can't see you
Cause everything's falling apart I got exposed to a deeper form of infection Shout out "I need acception" Always lies in your eyes Settles in your action
Criticize everything that I do And I will overcome anything that's in store Nevermore look up to you and adore Liberty (yeah)

Manipulation is on my mind Inspect me, try to check me Expectations well defined Dissect me, want to wreck me Violator of my own will Accept me- reject me Separate or shoot to kill
Steppin up to the mic. Mic 1, mic 2. Rollin' step out the bathroom stall we got pharmacudials and alcohol. Watch smoke and the light bouncin' off the wall. With the disco hall, disco ball. Cuz the devil may care, but I'm not the devil so there. (middle finger up in the air) To the people that judge us by what we wear and stare, like we care.
[CHORUS] We come to play! We come to play! Spin the 4U, yo hey deejay. We come to play! We come to play! Kids of the U to the S to the A.
Mix, mix, stop now move around. Mix, mix, stop now move around. A sensation, aviation, deviation, e-generation. [x2]
Midnight time to head on out like a fetus. Call up the crew and tell em where to meet us. To another club, cuz that's where the weed is. Papa smurf got us on the E-list. So we jump in the ride. Navigator chrome on the side (yo man, you good to drive?). He said 'I don't think it's far'. So we all went along, so we all went along. I don't think it's far. Cuz God may care, but I never met God anywhere. (middle finger up in the air) To the people that judge us by the color of our hair and stare, like we care.
I. I look but never touch. She says I drink too much. I only think about myself, sex, and the couch. You. You light up my whole day. Whenever you're away. I'd love to say I've got you figured out. No way.
If I get my hands on you, I would make you do all the things I want you to. And bend your will to mine, never hear you whine. Everybody break out, it's enough to shout, it's enough to shout, it's enough, yeah it's enough.
(CHORUS) She's callin', we're brawlin'. This is the hell that is my life. I'm laughing, she's crying. This is the hell that is my, hell that is my life.
I. I feel the world revolves around me. I take my one way street. I only have one serious bone in my body. You. You say you're not amused. You love to hate me too. You claim you wish you never got my name tattooed.
Now you got your hands on me. And you can make me be, what you want me to be. And slash away my will, still you're my only thrill. Everybody break out, it's enough to shout, it's enough to shout, it's enough, yeah it's enough.
(CHORUS)
You. You say you're not amused. You love to hate me too. And now you tell your friends we're through . . . . and never screwed.
I can take you so much more. And you've got so much more in store. So when you say your mom don't like me, I say that your momz a whore. Then you call me selfish pig and something small turns into something big. The more you shovel the more I dig. The more you shovel and the more I dig.
She calls, we talk, I scream, she cries. This is the hell that is my life. She calls, we talk, I laugh, she tries. This is the hell that is my.
(CHROUS) She's callin', we're brawlin'. This is the hell that is my.. the hell that is my life.
Another day. Another clean break. Another cigarette and I think I'm gonna be okay. Some other way. Some other mistake. Some reason saying that you're never gonna stay. You are the plug and I am the socket. You are the rock and I've come to rock it. You see the truth when I bring the bullshit. You make me whole when I'm feel alone, yeah. (CHORUS) Hands to tha, hands to the sky, yeah. Why you gotta go roll by me? Hands to tha, hands to the sky, yeah. Why you gotta go, why you gotta go now. Cracked in two. I'm in you. I'm standing on this bridge and you're to blame. Count to two, subtract you. I'm jumpin from this bridge and you're to blame. Let's get away. Let's give in tonight. Let's put the blanket on the sand and I think we'll be allright. Inside a place. I know you're all mine. Inside a crowded room, your smile reminds me I'll be fine. You are the drug and I'm feeling higher. You sell your soul and I am the buyer. You're a b-boy record, and I am the DeeJay. Do what you want, when I want it my way. (CHORUS) (x a few
just another day Seems like everybody's got a problem No one knows how But, we all want to solve 'em You could give a dime Give a hand Or give a shit Or you could look away and never deal with it
For example This girl is pretty fly for a white gal All the guys want her though she's a juvenile She's really kinda sad and just don't care 'Cause the only one she wants is her best friend Claire
What's going on? What's going on? Ready or not - NOT The world moves on and on and on and on and on and on and on Yo, what's going on?
There's nothing much to me I'm simple like you are, ordinary My tired eyes can see That time may fly And what's left is Meant to be I'm looking out You're looking in It's taken more than time To erase the stain And it's never been the same
Any city A girl turns 17, she goes to a party She and her girls are drinking bacardi Ever since she walked through the door All the guys have been flexing and tryin' to score But she's a good girl So she won't have none of that She takes another sip But has no clue of the spike from the G to the H to the B She wakes up on the morning bruised and raped in the street
What's going on? What's going on? Ready or not - NOT The world moves on and on and on Yo, what's going on?
Pre-chorus Chorus
in a small town A kid that you know goes to school He's really kinda shy and not that cool He knows what it's like to look in from the outside Inside, he wants someone to confide everyone's busy and no one's got the time He takes his dad's gun and says "This is how I'll shine" Boom, boom, boom And the kids fall down On the ground Dumbfound (dumbfound)
What's going on? What's going on? Ready or not - NOT The world moves on and on and on Yo, what's going on?
I never wanted to go. I never wanted a way. A way to see it, believe it, I know that you're not leavin' today. (x2). Caught in a trap of routine. Caught in a shitty old scene. Tell you a secret, I mean it. Take a trip you'll see what I mean. Time is just not not not. Only seconds in a day cuz what ya got got got. Can be taken all away with just one shot shot shot. Yeah, nothings here to stay. Why don't you get up get up. Cuz' this time it's going down. (CHORUS) Watchin', waiting. Dreams are fading. Things will never be the same. Ever changing. Rearranging. Will you notice anyway? I never wanted to go. I never wanted a way. A way to see it, believe it. I know that you're not leaving today. One day you'll look look look, and see that things are not the same. The time you took took took. Has been taken all away. The hands you shook shook shook. Don't even know your name. You'd better get up, get up, cuz this time it's going down. (CHORUS) I never wanted to go. I never a way. A way to see it, believe it, I know that you're not leavin' today. (CHORUS
Cuz I'm a user, a shmoozer, a big dollar loser. That doesn't matter cuz my friends call me a brusier and I . . . get chicks, so many chicks want me (nope).

(CHORUS) Take my hand. Show me how this all fits it's your plan. Understand. That I don't need you. I just need to . . . Feel, how does it feel? To crush the world in two one last time. Cuz I'm, so wasted. Feel, how does it feel? To scream without a sound, one more time. Cuz I'm, so wasted.
Get me away, I'm thinkin' maybe someday. I'll find out who I am, but you don't give a damn. I'm closin' my eyes. It's all the same to me. And what I don't want to know, is what I'm not gonna see. (CHORUS)
Watch the world stop, I drop put my finger on it. Thinking back to the day you said I could get up on it. Say that you have changed, I'm the same, just a little loaded. Comin' in out of phase lost my place now I know I've blwon it. Fall into a sea of your distress and I confess. That I take less than your best but you don't wanna give away today. Blue sky grey, nothing that you say. Take another trip, take another fall, take it all away. (CHORUS)
