Superman's Dead


Do you worry that your not liked
How long till you break
You're happy cause you smile
But how much can you fake
An ordinary boy an ordinary name
But ordinary's just not good enough today

No---ah-oooo-ah-ooo...

Alone
I'm thinking why superman's dead
Is it in my head
We'll just laugh instead
Worry about the weather
And whether not you should hate

Are you worried about your faith
Kneel down and obey
You're happy you're in love
You need someone to hate
An ordinary girl, an ordinary waist
But ordinary's just not good enough today

Alone....

Doesn't anybody ever know
That the world's a subway

Automatic Flowers


And Sara thinks she's died here once before
She's crazy
A pop-up book of flowers from grade 4
Are driving insane

No-one knows why
She's sad tonight
No-one can help her find

Crying, crying
She couldn't afford the view
Crying, crying
These automatic flowers won't do

Another brick, another window frames the confusion
Her garden blooms but Sara can't see straight she's
Drinking her self blind

No-one knows why
She stands outside
No-one can help her fight

Crying...

She Never admitted
She never considered
That she always means better
She's waisting all her time
Crying...

Carnival


You know you're not a strong man
And you're just about to cry
Hand on
It's okay
You worry about the future
The sign said "yoga class for cats
It's alright
It's no fun...

You're frustrated by the cracks
In the pavement
And every mother's back
Once again
The carnival closed down
But if this world ever turns around

The dynamite is waiting
Cause they bankrupted the sky
It's okay
It's no fun

You're frustrated...

Break your mother's back
You can step on your craks

You're frustrated by the cracks
In the pavement
And every mother's back
Once again
The carnival closed down
But if this world would ever
Turn around
You'll be there
And everyone is sane
You'll be there

Big Dumb Rocket


I've never seen your breathe before
But I'm disgusted byt the thought of waiting anymore
If I look up in your eyes
Will you notice me or notice it
Or fade into this accident

I don't want to find
The big dumb rocket on your mind
I don't want to find
That it's mostly you and mostly me
And a tired gun that's not empty

I've never been this sad before
But I'm offended by my fingertips
And what they've done
If I look up in your eyes
If it must be true you must believe
I've never held such violent things

I don't want to find...

I've never talked to god before tonight
But I'm disgusted by

And I don't want to find...

4 am


I walked around my good intentions
And found that there were none
I blame my father for the wasted years
We hardly talked
I never thought I would forget this hate
Then a phone call made me realize
I'm wrong

If I don't make it known that
I loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
I hope to god I figure out
What's wrong

I walked around my room
Not thinking
Sinking in this box
I blame myself for being
Too much like somebody else
I never thought I would just
Bend this way
But a phone call made me realize
I'm wrong

If I don't make it known...

I hope to god I figure out what's wrong

If I don't make it known

Shaking


So you fucked this up again
It's time for you to leave
You're never had many friends
And you thought this was alright
Rushing to meditate
Should eat but probably wait
You never thought of yourself
Of yourself

Why are you shaking
Why are you right
When I will be the only
Who gives
And lets you in tonight

Walk, you could never walk away
From a speedfreak collagen
Caffeinated place
You were always reaching in
Looking for somewhere to go
Nobody needs to find out
Nobody needs to know
What you know

Why are you shaking...

So you wonder about the past
When you that it's already been
Nothing seems to last
Can it last, will it last

Clumsy


Throw away the radio suitcase
That keeps you awake
Hide the telephone, telephone
Telephone in case
You realize that sometimes
You're just not okay
You level off, level off
Level off but it's not alright now
You need to understand there's
Nothing strange about this
You need to know your friends
You need to know that...

I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown
Watching you scream
Quiet or loud

Maybe you should sleep
Maybe you just need
A friend
As clumsy as you've been
There's no-one laughing
You will be safe in here

Throw away this very old shoelace
That tripped you again
Try and shrug it off, shrug it off
It's only skin now
You need to understand there's
Nothing fake about this
You need to let me in
I'm watching you

I'll waving my hand
Watching you drown
Watching you scream
No-ones around

Maybe you should sleep...

I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown
Watching you scream
Quiet or loud

Maybe you should sleep...

Hello Oskar


Over there, well he's wondering
Oskar there, is Oskar alright
Was never cool, not allowed to fit
He never knew what he liked

Over there, he's the rubberman
A rubber dress with Betty Page eyes
Was never cool, he'll never settle down
He's not allowed to drive

He'll build a bridge and then
Walk around
Don't ever call him dumb
He's not that bright
He's just not him, not him

I can take you somewhere
Somewhere to unwind
You're tangled up in
All this shit
And I will make you mine

There's nothing wrong
He's a superstar
A taximan and a young eisenstein
Was never cool he'll never settle down
He's not allowed to drive

He'll build a bridge and then
Walk around
Leave that boy alone
He's not that bright
He's not uptight
He's just not him, not
Himself

I can take you somewhere...

Let You Down


Hey what do you see
It's not me, not me
And why, why won't you share
It's not fair, not fair

There's a bicycle show
Where the bicycles float
And I, I wouldn't of cared
I wouldn't of cared

I won't be the one who bothers you
I won't be the one who let's you down

Now, now that you're there
You're not scared, not scared
Why, why would you care
It's your dream, not theirs

There's a cigarette theif
Stealing cigarette disease
I, I wish I was there
I wish I was there

I won't be the one who bothers you...

The Story Of 100 Aisles


Help yourself
If you know why you came
Cause if you need help she says...
There's something I've got saved

This is not what you wanted
These candy coated fakes
This is not what you wanted
This is pain, this is pain

Anacin, we're stumbling again
Anacin, it's the story of 100 aisles

Walk away
From simple on a tray
Cause if you need help she says...
These fancy pills don't rate

This is not what you wanted
A miracle today
This is not what you wanted
This is pain, this is pain

Anacin...

Time is not for sale today
Time seems so far away
You need more than this
Depressed, come here, try this

Anacin...

Car Crash


Tired & jaded
This road is unsafe
Have you been there
But time is on your side
You're too stubborn to wait
Are you listening
They want you to know
They want you to stay
But it's too much to take
So you're running away

It's more than I can bear

Car crash
Ending your day
At the side of the road
Are you trembling
They'll wake up today
To the papers that say
"Oh well" it was too hard to tell
He was swerving, they were swerving
Much too late

It's more than I can bear
