Marvelous 3

Your everlasting summer
You can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
That you think is gonna last
You wouldn't know a diamond
If you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious
I can't understand


:
Are you reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine

You been tellin' me you're a genius
Since you were seventeen
In all the time I've known you
I still don't know what you mean
The weekend at the college
Didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge
I can't understand

I spend a lot of money
And I spent a lot of time
The trip we made in Hollywood
Is etched upon my mind
After all the things we've done and seen
You find another man
The things you think are useless
I can't understand

I guess I met the devil,
But I sure didn't know no better
You were kool as hell like e-mail,
But still timeless like a letter
As I sit and I stare
at the satanic glare,
On the glass frame
in front of your face
You're alone on my shelf,
Yelling "Look at yourself"
I feel like Bobby Brady
breaking the vase

But now you're all screwed up


Your so yesterday
Miles away
I promised myself
on New Years Day
I'd take a bath today
And wash you away
As all your little blond hairs
go down the drain

Your sister called me yesterday
to tell me I was a loser
At least I haven't lost my mind
And at least I'm not a boozer
As I tried to heed to your
wants and your needs
You were solemnly lost in space
So keep reading your books
on "how to give dirty looks"
Everytime I should be
put in my place

Now you're all screwed up


I guess I met the devil,
But I sure didn't know no better
You were kool as hell as e-mail
But still timeless like a letter

I spend a lot on all the clothes that I got
cuz all the geeks that I meet
they all look kooler than me
what to do when they're all looking at you
cuz you're the freak of the week
cuz you're on the TV

*can you make me a promise
stop it before we begin
will you hold onto my head
if I ever lose it again

I've got a shrink
I swear he's elvis I think
he wears the koolest suede shoes
when I come in with the blues
he thinks it's all about cultlure and art
but the truth of it is
that it rips me apart

*repeat

tell me I sold out
tell me I sold out go ahead

You traded all your tears
so I could see a happy face
You sat all alone and read
the writing on the wall
You broke your heart
and banged your cool up
as you fell from grace
You should've hung the net
before you took the fall

The lines are pretty long here,
but you'll stand here anyway


Until you see this ain't going over
There's nothing left to show for
Till you see
Time ain't gonna make up
for the times you'd never wake up for me

I watched you build a castle
on the beach one rainy day
I saw it fall apart and roll out with the tide
I think there's something metaphoric
that I'm trying to say
Open up your soap box
and just crawl inside
The lights are on but no ones home
Stand there in the dark

Don't ask me, I just crawled in here on my hands and knees
I can't see, from the fog on my glasses and sweating to death from the heat
It's alright, I've been shit on before, I've had other doors slammed in my face
But it's cool, I'll just go back to school
And learn how to lie to you better

(chorus)
Let me write it on your hand
So you won't forget
Forget just what you had
Go and write it on your hand

13 rings, and I picked up my cell phone and you gave me hell for awhile
About stupid things, like hanging out with that guy, and why the hell does he always smile
It's alright, cuz my phone's out of range, ain't it funny and strange how you're fading away, I can't hear what you say
I guess you can write me a letter

(chorus)

Turn the tv off, put down the cosmopolitan
I'd like to think that I'm not asking alot
Oh my god, this static is bad for my complexion
This town has turned you into someone you're not

And every other day I hear another brother say
That I'm standing in line

(chorus)
Please, just let me go, just let me go
And if it's all over, just tell me so, just tell me so
Please, just let me go
And I won't be your shadow anymore

I passed the house last night, knowing it was my last time
I'd see the dent of anger kicked in your car
In the rear view mirror, thoughts of sex cross my mind
Looks like the drama queen is finally a star
And every other day I hear another brother saying that
I'm crazy, for lying to myself and you for trying

(chorus)

You lost your mind, I lost my keys
Sometime last night, when I was on my knees
I miss the smile, that you traded for the cold piece of armor
Wrapped around you heart

(chorus)

I was checked in by 4, put the sign on the door
Looked out the window of the 17th floor
Yelled to the city that knows me by name, and all the bad things I do.
I shed 5 bitter tears, into 5 bitter beers
Looked at my watch and said,

She dreams about, the girl she used to be
She dreams about, someone else underneath the sheets
Well you can fly off to London with a coke and a smile
But give it 24 hours and 4000 miles and it's
All just another day away from one less day to cry

(chorus)
How do you feel about that
How do you like it when they touch your face
And turn the page
Tell me now just how you feel about that

She hangs around, the strangest kings and queens
She gets around, but it only gets her clean
Well all the after school specials of the days of your life
And all the anti-drug commercials as you're high as a kite
But it's all just another day away from one less day to cry

(chorus)

Every once in awhile, you should scream and let her out into the light
Every once in awhile, you should tell yourself that it's alright

She got the #27
Taken off her license plate
Cuz that was my basketball number
Back when we started to date
And I know, it's better to be unfaithful
To the people that you liked last year
(chorus)
You're still the same
You'll never change
Always a change
You're still the same
She's got a pretty mod cd collection
In the glovebox of her car
All the Blur, and The Cure, and Oasis cases
Tell me you get struck by stars
And I know, it's better to be unfaithful
To the things that you liked last year
(chorus)
(break)
I can't run, I can't hide, this ain't no Marco Polo
You've gone and give yourself away
And all this time, I just thought that I was crazy
(chorus)

I'll get the door Mrs. Jackson
I'll get the press and reporters too
I'll wait outside your heart
You're not a throw-away filmstar
There's something different about you
And I'll wait outside your heart

(chorus)
Cross my heart, I would die
Shove the needle in my eye
Be your sugar, I could try
Where's the papers, let me sign
All I want is to be wanted by you

How is your head Mrs. Jackson
How about a pain killer pill or two
I'll wait outside you heart
What in the hell are they saying
They'll never understand me or you
And I'll wait outside your garage, and your house, and your restaurant

(chorus)

Did you ever hear this one, about the one that got away
It slipped right out the back door, it was on the news today
I was fishing for a hit song, when you woke me out of bed
Now I'm inspired, and my brain is tired, and my eyes are bloody red

Go ahead and eat your sucker, I won't say a word
He gave you the castle, you gave me the bird

(chorus)
Everybody is grey (I'm turning blue)
Everything that I say (It's about you)
Don't take this wrong, I hope your arms are long
Cuz you're gonna need 'em when I'm going over your head

Hello, can I take your order? I've been waiting for days
I'd like a little compassion, with a side of mayonnaise
You never let the glue dry, when you broke me into
And I'm not some stupid little model car, that you can abuse

Go ahead and eat your sucker, I won't say a word
He gave you the castle, so I'll give you the bird

September '57, it was a very good year
That's when I met heaven, and all the smoke came clear
I didn't see it coming, I was a very dumb kid
Nobody ever touched me, quite like the way that you did

And now you know that I suck at this, and you suck at it too
And now we're nothing more than vampires in love

(chorus)
And I'm wide awake, and you're wide awake
And I don't think that I'm getting tired at all

This is the brightest sunlight, my shade will do me no good
I ain't a morning person, but I'd be one if I could

And cuz of us I just stay up at night, and watch stupid movies 'til the tv is white
And now were nothing left but vampires in love

(chorus)

You walked into the bathroom, to wash your troubles away
You always seem to go in there about 20 times a day
I dropped you off at your therapist, where you walked across the street
To the neon lights with the purple door, where you passed out on your feet
Don't think I don't see it all, the beautiful high and the sobering fall begin
It's a kick ass day, wish you were here, send a postcard telling me when you're here again
Cuz I can't get through to you

(chorus)
There's a lot I could say, there's a lot I could do
If I had it my way, but I don't and you do
Makes me throw up to say, that I cared at all
I gave a lot, and now I'm shot
And shit like that's like sour lemonade

I tried to call your favorite bar, but I got a drunk Australian
He talked a million miles an hour, but I can't tell what he's saying
Something about a song by KISS, and how they watched you piss yourself away
As the glass goes crashing to the floor, from the phone booth, I hear more delay
Cuz I can't get through to you

(chorus)

I can dish it out
But you know I can't take it
When you told me everytime
That you came that you were faking it

So I guess I'll never know
If I was mackin', yes or no

Got a seven foot cut
On a foot the day before
When you pulled out my glass heart
And broke it on the floor

So I guess I'm gonna go
To the house of broken hearts & bloody toes

It hurts to think about
I've got no doubt
I've figured out

CHORUS:
My little head is so shot without you
My little head can't hold the thoughts you
Put inside my mind when you walked out

Just a little scratch
But it feels like you're dead
When you're falling off the short bus
And landing on your head

Yeah I felt a little low
When you told me where to go
(Right straight down to Hell)

Crampin' up your style
But your style ain't crampin' me
What'cha gonna do
When you're sleepin' with the enemy?

I'm always at your show
I'm in the very back row

It hurts to think about
I've got no doubt
I've figured out

CHORUS

On my mind
You're on my mind

CHORUS X 2

verse1:
Go and take a ride to her shop in grant park
You can walk though the door and shove the knife in her heart
When you tell her thet you can't stand the song anymore
The one you two adopted on the prom dance floor
You can be a Tom Cruise and make a big scene
Or be like Mcgyver and cut it clean
Either way there's gonna be blood on the floor
When you tell her that you don't dig girls anymore

Chorus:
Anymore,(i can't belive it) anymore anymore

Verse2:
Now here's a funny story bout a singer named Jed
He caught his girlfriend with a women in bed
They were watching loveline with a bottle of wine
Having a party like it's 1999
So he thew down the movies and had a heart attack
He jumped in the ocean and he never swam back
They just stood there naked, except for their socks
Feeling cheaper than a prize in a cracker jack box
I don't think Jed's really gonna wanna rock anymore

Chorus;

Bridge:
Check the exposure, somethings wrong with this picture
I can't see the truth for all of the dirty lines
Check the exposure something's wrong with this picture
All in all your gonna loose your mind
Theres a little story that your gonna adore
Kinda like a lost scene on the cutting room floor
It's all fun and games till you get a black eye
Your down in the sewer asking all the rats, why?'
You can live and love and lie and cheat as much as you wish
But that's about as tacky as a satellite dish
On a hot pink house with a burgandy door
With cigarette butts all over the floor
I don't think my stomach's gonna take anymore

Chorus:

Molly went off on a new vacation
Said she got tired of the radio station
That was playin' that song that her boyfriend wrote
All he did was change up a couple of notes
It's supposed to mean one thing, it became another
Next thing you know you're a brand new mother
Of a bad hangover hangin' over the bed
The cats take turns tryin' to fuck with your head

All I know is this ain't how it's supposed to be now
All I know, yeah this might leave a mark

Chorus:
'Cause you should never get over me
'Cause I will never get over you
And if I never get over the fact that you're gone
Then I'll remember to forget about you

Tuesday comes and you take out the trash
And you're sweatin' so hard that you got a big rash
'Cause you know she fell harder for the beefcake guys
Money for their drugs and their big fat lies
But hey, relax, she's gotta come back
It ain't so good on that side of the tracks
Where the Lonely Hearts Band plays every night
Where they're rockin' and they're rollin' 'til the broad daylight

All I know is this ain't how it's supposed to be now
All I know, yeah this might leave a mark

(Chorus)

Yeah, my watch is goin'
The hands keep on slowin'
Yeah, every hour
My drink gets so sour
So feel the pain and fill it to the top

(Chorus)

Well I started this story in the middle of the page
I remembered the lines and forgot my age
Somebody said my attitude was snotty
That's when you called and said get out tonight
Catch a late night movie on a late night flight
I'll be getting real drunk and making fun of everybody
Ain't nobody gonna get me down
Something must've gone around

Hey
You can stick that sign up your ass
The one that says it won't last
My sugarbuzz is growing higher and higher everyday
Your sarcasm cuts like a knife
I had the time of my life
My sugarbuzz is growing higher and higher everyday

Oh well I went to a party last Saturday night
You know, I think I got laid then I got in a fight
I don't remember that much, but I think I liked it
I saw some band called Roses 'n Sockey
An' they brought back the rock and the singer was cocky
Two years later, I'm sure they'll forget about it
Ain't nobody gonna get me down
Something must've come around

Waking up inside a river of sweat and cum
Coming down from a dream I can't remember anyone
Except I'm late for work and I know that sucks
Cause I know I owe my girlfriend 25 bucks
And if you exsisted then I wouldn't resist it with a...

(Supernatural blonde) Come on down
(Supernatural blonde) I would die for you
(Supernatural blonde) When no one else is around
(Supernatural blonde) That's when I see you

I was looking for love in all the wrong places
Giving abraham lincoln's to a stripper with braces
She thinks I'm in love and I know that sucks,
Because she's leaving with the dj and my 25 bucks,
And if you exsisted I sure would not resist it with a...

(Supernatural blonde) Come on down
(Supernatural blonde) I would die for you
(Supernatural blonde) When no one else is around
(Supernatural blonde) That's when I see you

I roll just like joint
Then turn around and miss my point
Swimming in all the dirty thoughts of you

(Supernatural blonde) Come on down
(Supernatural blonde) I would die for you
(Supernatural blonde) When no one else is around
(Supernatural blonde) That's when I see you

Seven hours later
She takes the elevator
To the second floor
To the underground commitee

That's where they'll decide if
You'll be praised or you'll be tied up
On the bathroom floor
As you scream for more

PRE-CHORUS:
All the souls are dying
While the idiots are trying
To convince you that they're cooler
But they still don't know
They're about to lose control
And they'll be saying now

CHORUS:
Calling radio Tokyo
The lines are down, you're good to go
Now can't you feel
This is real
Calling radio Tokyo
The kids are feeling way too low
They're on their knees
Won't somebody please just bring them home

Get out of the black car
On the sidewalk of the big stars
Of the now and then
Kinda feels a little late

Someone had a bad day
So they sold your soul on Ebay
With an 8 x 10
Autographed in pen

PRE-CHORUS

CHORUS

Seven hours later
They stopped the elevator
To the second floor
And there was no more

CHORUS

Whoa-oa-oa-oa
Yeah!

I was sticking to the sofa, when I saw you on the tube
A week of going solo now my heart is feeling so low
So I'm overdue
Got an asshole for a roommate, and he drank up all my booze
Spent his Fridays at the gym thoughts of me evicting him never came true
But I still think of you

Chorus:
This time could be the last time
I get to hear you say all that you wanna say
This line could be the last line
I'm gonna use on you just to get into you now

In my red and dirty sweat pants,
I watch you up above my bed
Your eyes are blue and starry with your
hand on a Ferrari and the other on
the back of your h

(Here we go)
Welcome to the station
So here's the situation
Let me tell you how it all goes down
The girl you been about, you come to find out
That she's the biggest ho around
Can we take it to the bridge
And skip the part about the fridge
Where she keeps a cold heart by a stale PopTart
Now the brothers that she fucked are piled in a truck
And with a little luck
You can get your feet back on the ground

Why do I get it
Give her credit
When I let it
I let it get the best of me
It's killing me
I'm the epitome of every bit of me
So I'm better off alone

You got a shitty boyfriend
Who only answers people
With the words from an Everlast song
You got screwed in the end
When he said you're just friend
And then you wonder what you're doin' wrong
What you're sayin in the morning at the coffee shop
Pourin' out your caffeinated heart, please don't let me start
'Cause he's at home on the couch
Readin' porno like a slouch
In your really fresh house on Hollywood Boulevard

(Chorus)

You've got to swallow your pride
Before you swallow that drink
And you follow the lines on the floor to the sink
And you crawl down the drain and you sit
And you think about everything that went wrong

(Chorus 2x)

New Years Day, lyin' next to my bed with a
Hand in my pants and a song in my head
About being depressed 'til I figured out
It ain't the 90's anymore
I looked thru a Raygun and thru a SPIN
Then I ripped out the pages of clothes that were in,
Threw on my Pumas and tried to put it all behind me
Mona Lisa smiled as I was walkin' out the door
She said, "Yo, you gotta keep it real, just like the year before."
I second that motion and 20 thousand more

Chorus:
cuz I could change and you could change
But everybody would stay the same (I know)

Still on vacation with nothin' to do so I
Got in my car and I got a tattoo just to
Cover up the one that I got of you when I was drinkin'
I really only now regret the things I haven't done
Stayin' under covers in the dark it ain't no fun
I'd rather take my glasses off and stare right at the sun

(Chorus)

And I know you're not asleep
I can feel you moving over there
You've been playing with the seams
In your worn out underwear
And my lips are raw as hell
From biting on 'em just to stay awake
But its not like I'm gonna need 'em,
Cause you won't be around
To see them bleed and break

(Chorus)
All that ill do, comes back to you
So I'll just think about you 'til there's nothing in my head
All I can do, is try not to screw this up again
And just be friends I'd rather be dead

And I drove outta east Atlanta
With a headache the size of my car
And I called to say I was okay, anyway
Cause I know how you are
You know I'm like a movie without a ending
You know I got nowhere to go
And it makes me wanna throw up
To see you wanna give up more than you'll ever know

(Chorus)

Everything's supposed to have a happy ending
But the record keeps keeps skipping
And the needle keeps bending
Like the road I'm driving to the bridge that has no end
I wanna take back everything that I've broken,
But the bridges behind me are burnin' and smokin',
I guess this is the end

(Chorus)
