Best You Can Get


She's all crazy and shit
She shows off her tits
She's just a corn-fed white-bred chick
Born in the right zip code
She comes with a gold card
She'll never have to pay for it

What would she do without you?
What would she do without you?
What would she do?

He's not afraid of the future
He's hot off the platter
He's been handed a blank check
Phi beta date rape ya
He's brung an agenda
And he's got a place to put it

What would he do without you?
What would he do without you?
What would he do?

Is this the best that you can get?
Is this the best that you can get?
(The best that you can get, the best that you can get)
Is this the best that you can get?
(The best that you can get)

What did you expect?

I'm not afraid of the ocean, afraid of devotion
I've got the balls to prove it

What would I do without you
What would I do without you
What would I do without you

What would I do
What would I do
What would I do
What would I do without you
What would I do without you
What would I do without you

What would I do-oo

Wet Suit


Roll the dice
Now will I wipe the tears from the skies
Play your hand
How will I love my marlboro man
Say your prayers
Cause you've got enemies everywhere.

Your wetsuit is keeping you warm in your cold bed
I'll never be torn from you
You try to keep it together
You try.. your best to forget her

Silly me
Always a sucker for monogamy.
Honesty
Seems to bring out the better in me.
I wish I knew
Another way to ruin a day for you.

Your wetsuit is keeping you warm in your cold bed
I'll never be torn from you
You try to keep it together
You try.. your best to forget her

I.. just.. can't.. leave you this way..when you're not ok
And trains.. will.. pass.. through here some day, and take you away
But you won't let me hit the ground
When my heart slows down

Your wetsuit is keeping you warm in your cold head
I'll never be torn from you
You tried to keep it together
You tried to keep it together

Keep us together
Keep us together
Keep us together
Keep us together

Only You Know


Don't thank me for what you've got
I've given you love
I've given you too much thought
Don't blame me for sinking the ship
Your a hopeless liar and a hypocrite
Only you know, only you know
Only you know, only you know

Don't thank me for what you've got
I've given you love
I've given you too much thought
Don't shame me for calling it quits
Your a hopeless cynic I'm an optimist
Only you know, only you know
Only you know, only you know

Haa!

Don't hate me for what you've got
I've given you drugs
I've given you too much thought
Don't blame me for flunking the test
I would rather think that you were honest

Don't blame me cause you got caught
You've given me up you've taken everything I got
Those lies came straight from your mouth
I never dreamed that you would be a sellout
Only you know, only you know
Only you know, only you know

Don't use me as your last crutch
I've taken you in, I've trusted you way too much
Don't wear me around your wrist
You should have thought it through before you blew it

Same day...same life
Different person

Your ghost..my pride
Perfect union

Same day...same life

Don't shame me, for sinking the ship
Your a hopeless liar and a hypocrite
Don't hate me for what you're not
I'm aiming your gun
I'm lining up the perfect shot
Don't waste me on something stupid like this

I would rather die than take your bullet
I would rather die than take your bullet
I would rather die than take your bullet
I would rather die than take your bullet
Than take your bullet

Disconnected


(Next message)

Disconnected, its the way that I wanted it to be
The Cult Electric is my favorite record of the week
Cause I'm not feeling sweet

But I can't say that when everyone is so judgmental
And I can't play back all the times when you were gentle
Cause even you can't be true

It's astounding what love can do to a city
Laurel Canyon was the best place for you and me to be
I chose the curtains and I dreamed a dream of domesticity
What a freak you made of me

Now I'm on Zoloft because you told me I was crazy
And I won't jump cause now I know you'd never catch me
And I can't leave you because you swore you'd never let me
But even you, talk shit too.

It's January when I jumped the fence of your backyard
Finish the fairy tale that you were drunk enough to start
It's kind of scary when your lover leaves you for a movie star
But I'm still in the dark

But you have trained to watch my back and drop my standards
And you have shamed me since the first time you were with her
And you cant make me love your band or buy your records
Cause you have tainted my respect for your adventures

And you will never have the chance to trace my features
And you will never make me feel like such a loser
And you can have the past 'cause I'm in love with the future

I'm in love with the future

And I have met a boy
Who makes you look so shallow (I'm in love with the future)
And there is so much time
And so much space to travel (I'm in love with the future)
And I will make the climb and I will kiss the gravel (I'm in love with the future)

(Touch the sky) (It's kinda scary)
And I will kiss the gravel (I'm in love with the future)

(Touch the sky) (It's kinda scary)
And I will kiss the gravel

I'll touch the sky
I'll touch the sky
Watch me..watch me
I'll touch the sky
I'll touch...
The sky..the sky

You keep your faith and you keep your phantoms
And you don't even care
No you don't even care

All dressed up..still there's something wrong
I'm all dressed up..and you're just a song
I'm all dressed up..you're forever gone

Used To Know Her


I used to know her
I used to talk about her
Waiting for the day that she would listen
I used to know her
I used to stick up for her
Something in her smile was so bitchin'

I used to sing, I used to sing

I used to know her
Used to know all about her
I used to need her
There was something about her
I used to torch her
It's the best way around her
I used to know her
Now it just doesnt matter, oh yeah
Oh yeah...

I used to fuck him
I used to simplify him
Something in his walk was like Jim Morrison
I used to touch him
I used to justify him
Lying to my face with my permission.

I used to sing, I used to sing

I used to fuck him
Used to fucking love him
I used to need him
Now I read all about him
I used to touch him
Now I could never kiss him
I used to love him
Now I dont even miss him, oh yeah.
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah...

I used to know her.....
I used to terrify her, I used to terrify her, I used to terrify her
I used to terrify her, I used to terrify her

I used to sing, we used to sing!

I used to know her
I used to know all about her
I used to need her
There was something about her
I'm used to tortue
It's the best way around her
I used to know her
Now she just doesn't matter, oh yeah
She just doesn't matter..oh yeah
She just doesn't matter..oh yeah
She just doesn't matter..oh yeah

Pretty Boys


Last night I dreamt you were gay
It was all you needed to say
Finally an answer for why you dont want me that way

Last year I slept in your arms
And slept right through the alarm
Now you live in Virginia, alone on a farm

Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Girls can't avoid
Pretty boys

Last July I came untied
My trousers , my bra , and my pride
You were so confident that I would let you inside.

Back of the bus in Berlin
That was the summer of sin
Brian and Richie pounding a bottle of gin
Liars and lovers
Twin brothers
Never win

Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Girls can't avoid
Pretty boys

No..Girls can't avoid pretty boys
No..Girls can't avoid pretty boys

Hellraiser


Weren't you the pilot
Who fell from the skies?
Was it a big mistake
Or just plain homicide?
How does it feel on the other side?
Do you hang out with the
Saints or the spies?

Are you still hellraising?
Are you still hellraising?
Hellraising

Is this the kind of thing we always fear?
Are you so bent on hell you'd leave
Me up here? (without you)
God bless the miles we traveled too fast
God help the suckers
Dead in your path

Are you still hellraising?
Are you still hellraising?
Hellraising

You will pay for your mistakes
You will pay for your mistakes
You will pay for your mistakes
You will pay

This love was born on crutches, crippled and bored
Ripped out asleep and strangled by a phone cord
Weren't you the pilot who swerved off the course
Was it disaster or just plain divorce?

Hellraising
Hellraising
Are you still hellraising?
Hellraising

Hell
