Текст песни:

Mitch allan & mark beauchemin

All she′s asking is for a little more time,
To walk away from his anger and leave the bruises far behind
She won′t talk about it...she′s made up her mind
But as the front door shuts behind her she whispers "give me a sign."

Feels the power of the engine as she climbs to 65
Every piston sounds like freedom, every white line says goodbye
She′ll find strength in her anger and the truth in his lies
When the last scar finally fades she′ll have a new life

Say goodbye to mr. right
Lock the door, turn out the light
Pack your bags, leave this trap
Run away, don′t look back
See another day with each new sun
Your life has just begun

She can still feel the touch of his hand
Not just the violence but the warmth of her man

The night she never felt so alive
Even though it feels so cold outside
It′s the first time i′ve ever seen her smile

Текст песни:

I never got high the first time I tried
Just like everyone
I know the cigarettes were bold
For a little four foot nothing ten year-old
On hot summer days
We′d go down to the mall
Send security climbin′ up the walls
Just like everyone
We were forever young

I am not so original
Never to be cynical
A little unstable
Clinically labeled
Fucked-up all-American
I am totally miserable
Ever to be pigeon-holed
Completely obsessive
Manic depressive
Fucked-up all-American

We lived out our lives like we would never die
Just like everyone
But before Keith went to bed
He put a double barrel shotgun to his head

I am not so original
Never to be cynical
A little unstable
Clinically labeled
Fucked-up all-American
I am totally miserable
Ever to be pigeon-holed
Completely obsessive
Manic depressive
Fucked-up all-American

Smashing bottles and cans
For reasons I don′t understand
When I look at the past
It′s like staring at pieces of broken glass

I am not so original
Never to be cynical
A little unstable
Clinically labeled
Fucked-up all-American
I am totally miserable
Ever to be pigeon-holed
Completely obsessive
Manic depressive
Fucked-up all-American

Текст песни:

i can be as humble as the next guy
or i can blink and make you crumble from the inside
i can be every nasty thing you ever dreamt a man could be
cause they all fall down
cause they all fall down
i can make you see the beauty of a new sun
or i can be the source of your desparation
i can be every nasty thing you ever dreamt a man could be
cause they all fall down
cause they all fall down
jaded, faded im the type you hated
haunted, taunted i′m what you′ve always wanted
yeah, yeah
i′m what you′ve always wanted
you can turn away like you don′t even see me
yet you can smile and act like you′ve got something i need
but every night you go home alone
and dream about being underneath me!
all fall down, cause they all fall down
jaded, faded i′m the type you hated
haunted, taunted i′m what you′ve always wanted
yeah, yeah i′m what you′ve always wanted
can′t you see through ths disguise
and find the little boy inside
i′m afraid of fallin
love is pain and now she′s calling
and she′s
jaded, faded i′m the type you hated
haunted, taunted i′m what you′ve always wanted
yeah, yeah i′m what you′ve always wanted
all fall down
all fall down
all fall down
all fall down

Текст песни:

Mark beauchemin, mitch allan, & jeff reid


Alone again tonight
In this empty time
The sound in my head
The sight leaves me blind


I′ll write a million words
I′ll sing until it hurts
How far could this be
Until it′s seen


How long will i let this go
I can′t stand to spend another night alone


I stare at the empty walls
I speak, no one hears
I make every excuse
And blame my fears


All these shadows come to rest
In my head
I can′t see you
I can′t hear the things you said


There is a secret place
You′ll find a bloodstained fence
It′s there the future speaks
And she spoke to me

Текст песни:

Where did you go Axl Rose?

Angel lives alone in East Baltimore
Eviction notice stapled to her front door
Bleach-blond hair, fishnet pantyhose
God she wishes it was 15 years ago
When buying her a drink meant anything
You wanted that night... was alright
But through cocaine tears and 15 years
You know she sleeps alone tonight

Where did you go Axl Rose?

Ricky lives alone... mother′s basement
37 got nothing yet to show for it
Heavy metal man with his long hair
The top is gone but he′s still rockin′ the ponytail
All he′s got now is post grunge apathy
(catastrophe)
He says The Vines and The White Stripes
Just don′t get it for me and my friends
Take me back when...

Where did you go Axl Rose?

Till one night at karaoke
Ricky was kickin out Bon Jovi
"Dead Or Alive" I think it was
And right then Angel fell in love
She knew they′d be together
Stuck in the past together

He don′t care he′s stuck in the ′80s
She don′t care she′s stuck in the ′80s
They don′t care they′re stuck in the ′80s
We don′t care we′re stuck in the ′80s

Where did you go Axl Rose?

Текст песни:

There′s a hole
In my Goodwill shoes
From walking down
The eastside street too long
Well I′m trying to get out
Get out while I can
Cause this town′s wonder years
Have come and gone

I can′t express myself
I just depress myself
Of all your choices man
You think you just get one right
I never wanted this
Dirty white trash kiss
Thanks for giving me
Your blue light special life

The kid next door
With the filthy face
Scrapes his gum
Right off the sidewalk
A ripped t-shirt
A new used pair of jeans
He′s a clothesline clepto
Backyard parking lot

Now I know it′s all your fault

I can′t express myself
I just depress myself
Of all your choices man
You think you just get one right
I never wanted this
Dirty white trash kiss
Thanks for giving me
Your blue light special life

[breakdown]

I can′t express myself
I just depress myself
Of all your choices man
You think you just get one right
I never wanted this
Dirty white trash kiss
Thanks for giving me
Your blue light special life

Текст песни:

i′m not afraid to go backwards fix what we broke
My gaze falls behind, you make desire seem so easy
I hold off sleep, it′s so silent without you here
Don′t give up now, it would all be for nothing

′cause i believe in second chances
I believe the years forget

So let me fill these empty spaces
Better late than never / stay forever
Let me fill this empty space
′cause there′s always room for one more mistake

Can you feel that
I think we′re moving in the right direction
I was someone else then
I′d take it back if you would let me

′cause i believe in second chances
I believe the years forget

So let me fill these empty spaces
Better late than never / stay forever
Let me fill this empty space
′cause there′s always room for one more mistake

We were never this close when we were young
Every night i whisper your name at the top of my lungs

-solo-

I
I

Let me fill these empty spaces
Better late than never / stay forever
Let me fill this empty space
′cause there′s always room for one more mistake

Текст песни:

Does it really matter what I want
Does it really matter how I feel
Aren′t you gonna do what you want
Why would you ask when you can steal

You take everything that I am
You take everything from me

So this is what it feels like to be used
So this is what it feels like to be lied to
I don′t think I could feel more let down
I don′t think I′ll ever give a damn about you

You take everything that I am
You take everything from me
You take everything that I have
Just take everything from me

You don′t know what I′m capable of
I won′t let you limit me
You don′t care what I think
If you cut me do I not bleed

You take everything that I am
You take everything from me
You take everything that I have
Just take everything from me

Текст песни:

Mitch allan


Once inside the door i check my face in the mirror,
As i look past this lonely minute
Was this the ride worth waiting for
I′m scared to death that now i′ve missed it
But she was not the only stone
Skipped across this gravel road leading down the path of loneliness
So i′ll fly from this hate, pray my soul the lord will take me
To a place through time and indifference


I wanna know how do you feel
I wanna know if this was real
Then tell me what would you say
If you can make this pain go away


She plans her future looking bright ahead
Leaves me in the past.
I can′t stand to hang out with my codependent friends
My patience fading fast
But every sign and every song is telling me i don′t belong,
But it′s o.k. to feel scared
′cause one day soon i′ll find myself and realize that no one else
Will make me feel stupid!


There′s this old man down in fell′s point,
Always hanging around
Telling me, "son, the pendulum swings both ways
But for you, it′ll always swing down!"
