- Alicia Amnesia
She drives a black Iroc with hot pink leather.
Got a good butt, but can't remember whether
she's a good girl or she's bad, or count the sex she's had.
Comes home late with grocery sacks
and brothers in his hat, doin' Michael Jackson.
Doesn't know her dad, since he dropped her on her head.
and if there's one thing I can say, is she takes all my breath away.
- Cigarette Lighter Love Song
know you're not asleep
I can feel you moving over there
You've been playing with the seam
In your worn out underwear
My lips are raw as hell
From biting on them just to stay awake
It's not like I'm gonna need them
You won't be around
- Dominoes
Sitting with the dog
Trying to clear the fog of a
Memory of the last time
That i saw her face
50 yrs of time an accident
Would take my mind and shortly
After take the wife
Away from me
- East Coast Girl
[Verse 1]
Yeah everything's going pretty par for the course
Got back problems, grey hair, craving a Porsche
If you make it this far without killing yourself
You got it made though
Got a little place in Venice next to a lady with nine cats
Walk up Abbott Kinney watching business collapse
It all reminds me when you moved here from New York in '88
- Get Down
So you had a lot of friends, big black Benz,
Rockin' like "Dokken" til the party ends.
Pink champagne, can't complain, everyone's there for you.
Messed up hair, messed up nose,
Cocaine habit that no one knows about.
Even thought the lies get told, everybody knows the truth.
Can ya get down?
- Hot Girls In Good Moods
I got a girl that lives at the mall
She dances on the dark side of the disco ball
Drives a silver mercedes
Made in the 80s
Swears and stares at the buckhead ladies
She straddles me lovely
While she scratches my back
While she sings all the words
- House of Cards
This house of cards you've built
Has finally fallen down
Expect me to come scrape
Your ego off the ground
Cause everybody talks
Everybody talks
And I can tell
- Into the Black
I walk around in circles, just like a dog with vertigo,
As I go insane.
The sun shines all around me, on the world, and everybody with somebody,
while I'm in the rain.
'Cause it's you that can break me and keep me on my back.
'Cause it's you that can save me from falling into the black.
- Lights Out
There was a blackout in my heart in the summer of '03
I was walking over bridges
Tryin' to find my way to me
When the problem was restored
I can't describe the damage done
This would be the first time
And no it wasn't fun
- Maybe It's Just Me
Maybe it's just me, but you seem finally happy
I don't think I've seen your face just glow like a neon sign
And maybe we should be alone for ever after,
Cause even though the nights are long
At least I'll make it another day
Cause I can't live if you're not happy
I can't live if you cry,
- Maybe Its Just Me
Maybe it's just me, but you seem finally happy
I don't think I've seen your face just glow
Like a neon sign and maybe we should be alone for ever after,
Cause even thought the nights are long
At least I'll make it another day
Cause I can't live if you're not happy
I can't live if you cry,
- Mixtape
You say hello, inside I'm screaming I love you
You say goodnight, in my mind
I'm sleeping next to you
You drive away from my car crash of a heart
And I don't know
But you gave me the best mixtape I have
And even all the bad songs ain't so bad
- One day at a time
You got lost, For a while.
You've been trying to find a smile.
You got stood up, then you fell down,
and when you needed , there was no one 'round.
You loved the previews and hate the movie.
You scream at the screen, "Something move me!"
before you start to fade away.
- Open Happines
VERSE ONE
ahhh..ohhh
Well hello is this thing on
Is anybody listening
A brand new day has begun
The first thing that I want do
- Passed Your Place, Saw Your Car, Thought Of You
Now honey, dry your eyes.
Get back in the car.
There's no need to end it this way.
That's what she said, when I shot off the head
Of our love on that one Saturday.
I've got my share of faults, this much is true.
I talk to much about me, to everyone I know.
- She Likes Hair Bands
She Likes Hair Bands
On satellite radio
But I was in one
So it's a little too close to home
She can dance like
She's done it for a living before
And I kinda dance like
I've been shot in the leg for sure
- Sober
Can you please, remind me how you feel?
This emptiness is real, I can't bear the thought of it.
and please, remind me how to smile, I lost track after awhile.
Is happiness so hard to get
Is it me, or is this over?
As I got sober, I watched you fade away.
Is it me, or is this ending?
- Stay Gold
Verse 1]
Standing outside of Dollar General
Another MLK boulevard
Getting one more bag of dime store weed
To smoke in my backyard
Well I'm so damn bored I could cut myself
Only four more hours to kill
Every day until my mom gets out of working at the mill
- Suburbia
Oh! Well, remember the guy who was a football star?
He had it made with the ladies but he never got far.
Five years past, now he's gotten kind of fat,
working eight days a week at the Laundromat.
With his Momma and his Daddy breathing down his neck,
about everything he does so much it makes him sick.
So he sits home alone, with the game on TV,
as the crowd goes wild he says, "That coulda been me!"
- Summer scarves
Lying in the overgrown-up grass in the front yard
Water falling from the sky so warm it feels hard
Trying to figure out just who you really are.... to me
And the summer scarves are all around me
And the sunburn grows around my neck
And the sum of her still remains a memory
- Trouble
Partied at a house 'til four
Came out from a closet door
Makeup all over my face
We just do what people do
How was I to know that you
Were gonna turn around and say
- You Belong With Me
You're on the phone with your girlfriend,
She's upset,
She's going off about
Something that you said,
'Cause she doesn't get your humor
Like I do.
I'm in my room,
It's a typical Tuesday night,
