I had fallen so low
I had lost and forgotten everything I'd ever known
When I heard it ... I heard it from above
They were all up there playing that sweet, sweet rock and roll

Don't Forget About Me
02:38

I'll write you my love
Three letters daily
It won't be long before I am home in sweet California
I long to hold you in my arms
Don't forget about me
The nights here are long but the work it is plenty
They dance and swoon
I play my guitar and sing 'bout you baby
I long to hold you in my arms
Don't forget about me
The road before me grows but all I want is you
Don't forget about me-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e

On The News

Secrets kept under hats and put on heads and wasted on us
Lies tied to lines and lowered with no reward
And there's something floating in my drink I won't bother asking
Waitress seems to busy to deal with my OCD
And I've been seeing lately on the news
that some germs are actually good for you
And those cell phones that we use
Will give our brains diseases
And we cannot trust the banks
To keep the money we make safe
And I watch the ice caps melt and break
While half the world just turns away
Plastic parts put in chests to get a man, to be a success
We're stripped of character with the swish of a blade
Just so everybody can look the same
Or is that just here in LA
But we're still not all equal
I'll give a shout out to all the gays
'Cos I've been seeing lately on the news
That they're trying to take your rights from you
And caffeine's substance abuse but there's prozac in the preschools
And while solar energy can power almost anything
We've got a nation overweight
And fast food's always open late
I'm pretending I'm not scared and I know that you are too
So should we go out with a bang or do we stay and reproduce
I don't know what to think anymore
It seems no mater what we do we lose
So I turn on the TV to relax
I'll cuddle up with you
But there's radiation
There's radiation to consider too

Progress
01:40
|
|||
|
There's a mountain waiting to fall
A few more shots we can level it all
Out of our way now it is called
Progress
No, there's not a thing in this world can stop us
With the truth we have stood and we've fought
Side by side we hold hands and we walk
Out of our way if you don't hear the call
Progress
No, there's not a thing in this world can stop us

Russian Heart

This is not a real disaster
It's more like a fire drill
It's there just to prepare you
So keep both hands on the wheel if your driving
I suggest ten and two
I should have warned you 'bout my Russian heart
But I wouldn't know where to start
It could kill you if you're not careful
It doesn't matter where you went to school
If it's Ivy League or Community
I can hear it all over town
You've been thinking out loud
You're too scared
You're just too under prepared
To tell me how you feel
And you said you wouldn't buy it
But you hadn't even tried it
And I'm sure once you get a taste you will
I know you will
What it boils down to is you
And you're not willing to choose
You say on one hand you've got the perfect life
But on the other you're missing a little spice
That's me
You call me cayenne
It drives me crazy
I can hear it all over town
You've been thinking out loud
You're too scared
You're just too under prepared
To tell me how you feel
And you said you wouldn't buy it
But you hadn't even tried it
And I'm sure once you get a taste you will
I know you will
You say you don't hurt but there's red beneath your shirt
You say you don't hurt but you're bleeding through your shirt
You say it's not real blood it's only stage blood
You stole it from a movie set in September
When you were working for your step dad's catering
Well what does that mean?
What does that mean?
Why go to all of the trouble to tease me

Rock and Roll
We have to rock and roll don't pay nothing
Hurry round and round
Hey alright why can't I have your motorcycle
You heard me that's right a motorcycle
Aint no rust
Hey motorcycle hand us the microphone
Don't be so difficult

He has one eyebrow that is thicker than the other
An alcoholic heart and a tendency to smother
but the only thing you keep remembering
Is how good it feels to ...
Hold his hand and walk
Your arms no match for his spare tire
And if he'd squeeze your waist your life would certainly expire
I call him Sasquatch
You call him Babycakes
He is your lover
You and me we use to be something special
All the neighborhood kids agreed
"Friends" you use that word like a knife it cuts me
Awaiting his arrival I bleed
Remember Christmas day he got drunk and broke those windows
Claimed forgetfulness for the gifts he never gave you
And when you bailed him out of jail your heart melted
When he said "I love you"
Of course it's all a blur the speed in which he nailed your girlfriends
The cash he borrowed and claimed he'd repay at the months end
Call me crazy but I think your better off without him

"Take all the time you need"
The last six words you spoke to me
But those letters that you send me
Pile high they fence me in
And I can't even see
The place we use to sleep back then
But as soon as I wrap my head around this
I will stay here
I'll try to be the one you fell in love with
But there's no guarantees
Baby, we were babies ... back then
Airports, stations for trains
Greyhounds, undergrounds take me away
And you swear you think you know
The person in that passport photo
Oh, I say you don't
And it kills me
'Cos I posed not long ago

Next To You
04:25
|

|
I know I know my cheek needs the razor and I'm kind of a mess
but I've been trying for all day to say ...
to put down in words I guess to try and explain
what your love all your love means to me.
There will be times when I'm sick and behave like a dick
and times when I'm stressed and just trying to impress
some jerks that we both know don't give a shit
but I'll push and I'll push and I'll push
and if I'm sorry but you call out for me
and I'm know where to be found 'cus I'm chasing this endless dream
know my heart and my hands and my head and my feet and my thoughts and my words and this endless back beat they strum and they pulse and they all yearn to be next to you.

I Don't Want To Go
03:24

All the love I had I gave there's nothing left to give
All the love I had you took empty I try to live
Starts as a pain in my brain
It travels down from my head
Takes a shot at my heart
Flips me over in bed
Moves my hands to my eyes and moves my feet to the floor
Makes me turn on the lights
Makes me stay up some more
I pour it into a cup
I'd shoot it into my veins
Do whatever it takes
Not to deal with the pain
Back away from the line
Step out into the dark
Feel the cold in my limbs
Hear the neighborhood talk and talk and talk
Don't say we're through
I don't want to go
Don't say what you'll do
I don't want to know
All the love I had I gave there's nothing left to give
All the love I had you took empty I try to live
Drive my car by your house a couple times every day
It's on the way to my work
The fuck you want me to say
Looks like you got a new guy
I guess he got you that car
Looks like you're doing real good
I guess I'm taking it hard
I pour it into a cup
I'd shoot it into my veins
Do whatever it takes
Not to deal with the pain
Back away from the line
Step out into the dark
Feel the cold in my limbs
Hear the neighborhood talk and talk and talk
Don't say we're through
I don't want to go
Don't say what you'll do
Don't say you knew
Don't say it's true
All the love I had I gave there's nothing left to give
All the love I had you took empty I try to live

Outro
01:59
|

|
In this backwards world your dreams take flight
And light the sky like dynamite
"A phoenix in the sky" they all cry
Sing your songs and roll the dice
Hold your hands up
Hold them nice and high enough so they can see the scars
No more haunted thoughts
