I’m as lonely as boys
I’m as lonely as boys
I’m as lonely as monkeys taught to destroy
Anything they learn to enjoy

So pardon me, angel
So pardon me, angel
Pardon me, my love, for you is a stranger
That you met some place but ignored

So break and go home
Break and go home
Why don’t you leave me?
Leave me alone

I’m as lonely as boys
Who are lonely for girls
Who are lonely as monkeys taught to enjoy
Everything they learn to destroy

So pardon me, angel
So pardon me, angel
Pardon me, my love, for you is in danger
In danger of becoming a bore

So break and go home
Break and go home
Why don’t you leave me?
Leave me alone

I’m the loneliest boy
With the loneliest plan
But I’m ready and want to understand
But that ain’t a woman – that’s a girl

So pardon me, angel
So pardon my anger
Pardon me, my faith is girls is in danger
She leaves you addicted – wanting more

So break and go home
Why don’t you leave me?
Leave me alone
So break and go home
Go home

So, tell me how you feel without your medicine
Hold you head feelin’ paranoid
Sweet sixteen for a schizoid

So, tell me how you feel
Now you’re the only one
Held you head in the setting sun
Sweet black smoke with the poison

Hey, come everybody do Miss America
Hey, you know when she goes down it’s hysterical

So, tell me how you feel without your medicine
Hold your head feeling paranoid
Running down the street from a mergatroid

So, tell me how you feel
Now you’re the only one
Held your head in the setting sun
Sweet black smoke from a crooked gun

Hey, come everybody do Miss America
Hey, you know when she goes down it’s hysterical

So, I am in the twilight of my youth
Not that I’m going to remember
And have you seen the moon tonight
Is it full?
Still burning its embers
The people dancing in the corner, they seem happy
But I am sad
I am still dancing in the coma of the drinks I just had
Does anybody want to take me home?
Does anybody want to take me home?
Take me to your house, and I’ll leave you alone
Of course I will
Of course I won’t
It seems so tragic… but it disappears like magic
Like magic

Can you recommend an education or drugs
Because I am bored with you already
I’m on Broadway, and I think it’s a parade
I’m covered in pieces of confetti
And I am in the twilight of my youth
Not that I am going to remember
Dancing and slowly finding the truth
And it’s covered in coma
All of these people in my life, well they seem so in love
Well, I am not
Memorizing my shoes in a cigarette shop
Does anybody want to take me home?
Does anybody want to take me home?
I’m kinda lonely, will you take me home?
Of course you will
Of course you won’t
Of course I’m crass
It seems so tragic
Of course you will
Of course you won’t
But I’ll disappear
I’ll disappear
Just like magic
Just like magic
Just like magic

Everybody’s cool playing rock n roll
Everybody’s cool playing rock n roll
I don’t feel cool at all
I don’t feel cool at all
Send all of my best out to the hand
I don’t think I’ll make it out to the show
There’s this girl I can’t get out of my head
There’s this girl I can’t get out of my head
And I don’t feel so cool at all

I’m as blue
I’m as blue as the ocean is true, it’s just refelctions of the sky
I’m as cold
I’m as cold as the stories you told but never sick enough to die

Note to self: don’t change for anyone
Note to self: don’t die
Note to self: don’t change for anyone
Don’t change, just lie

I’m as sick
I’m as crass as the things in your past, you wished that you could let them go
Caged birds
Caged animals starving for class
In your house when you’re alone

Note to self: don’t change for anyone
Note to self: don’t die
Note to self: don’t change for anyone
Don’t change, just lie

Who do you call when you’re alone
Nobody, baby
Who do you want to be, figure out and just let me know
Don’t change, don’t change, don’t change
Just let me go
Just let me go
Just let me go

So much for the days of glory
It’s not like your idols died and are holy now
You cross the street and count to ten
And everyone that mattered went to bed
Or maybe they died

Welcome home
Miss So Unknown
Bet you want it back
They all want it back, but you can’t have it
You’ve lost total control

The sun, it lights the blades of grass
It’s not like she knows the difference or cares
She’s stupid and cold
Somewhere in the waves of doubt
It’s not like she swam awhile, then faded out
So stupid and calm

Welcome home
Miss So Unknown
Do you want it back?
Welcome home
Miss So Unknown
They all want it back, when they want it all back
But you can’t have it
You’ve lost control

I finally see the light
Down on the east side
Wasted like a memory
If I had a car I’d drive
Straight off the bridge into the river, it would empty me

Pretty pictures in a magazine
Everybody is so make believe, it’s true
I used to be sad
Now I’m just bored with you
You’re doomed to repeat the past
‘Cause nothing is gonna last
I burned all of your photographs

Traffic sings the songs
Inviting me in to dodge the bullets from an empty gun
If I had a car I’d drive straight into the window of a bank I owed money to

Pretty pictures in a magazine
Everybody is so make believe, it’s true
I used to be sad
Now I’m just bored with you
You’re doomed to repeat the past
‘Cause nothing is gonna last
I burned all of your photographs

And all the time you’re so unhappy
And everything to you’s so heavy
But oh my word, ain’t you pretty now
There’s nothing to make up now
No one to wake up now
She’s starting to break up
WOW

Pretty pictures in a magazine
Everybody is so make believe, it’s true
I used to be sad
Now I’m just bored with you
You’re doomed to repeat the past
‘Cause nothing is gonna last
I burned all of your photographs

Nobody with no one to call
And all this time
Hot metal as her clothes dissolve
Emergency lights
It’s genocide
It’s sucide

I’m spinning around the room in awe
I’m spinning around the room

I’m floating through a room of halls
Partytime
Stops breathing like a china doll
And broken eyes
It’s genocide
Suicide

I’m spinning around the room in awe
All bloody in the luminol
I’m spinning around the room in awe
In awe

Save my life…
Say my name

It’s genocide
It’s suicide

I’m floating through a room of halls
All bloody in the luminol
I’m spinning around the room in awe
In awe
And on and on and on

Today I watched the boats
Moving through the harbor
Walking on water
In your arms I’d stay
Forever if I could
Forever if I may
Keeps me in your thoughts, don’t disappear

I am on your side
And so alive
So alive it isn’t real

If this is how I feel
Then nothing now is true
And nothing now can ever be taken away from you
Sinking in the past
The things that shouldn’t last
Just put to bed and stand beside me
Stand beside me

Always on your side
I’m on your side
And so alive it isn’t real

I am on your side
And so alive
And so alive
And so alive

I am on your side
I am on your side
I am on your side
And so alive
So alive

Cotton candy and a rotten mouth
You know you’re so fucked up
You know I couldn’t help but have it for you

And everybody knows the way I walk
And knows the way I talk
And knows the way I feel about you
It’s all a bunch of shit
And there’s nothing to do around here
It’s totally fucked up
I’m totally fucked up
Wish you were here

And streets that only turn to boulevards
And houses with back yards
and it’s raining like hell on the cars
And everybody knows the way I walk
And knows the way I talk
Knows the way I feel about you
It’s all a bunch of shit
And there’s nothing to do around here
It’s totally fucked
I’m totally fucked
Wish you were here

And if I could have my way
We’d take some drugs
And we’d smile
We’d smile
We’d smile
But not tonight, my dear
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
