80
from the album Kerplunk (1992)
My mental stability reaches its bitter end
And all my sense are coming unglued
Is there any cure for this disease
Someone called love
Not as long as there are girls like you
Everything she does questions my mental health
It makes me loose control
I just can't trust myself
If someone can hear me slap some sense in me
But you
turn your head and I end up talking to myself
Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated
So I loose my head or I
band it up against the wall
Sometimes I wonder if I should be left alone
And lock myself up in a padded room
I'd
sit and spew my guts out to the open air
No one wants to hear a drunken fool
I do not mind if this goes on
Cause
now it seems I'm too far gone
I must admit I enjoy myself
80 please keep taking me away...away...
2000 Light Years Away
from the album Kerplunk (1992)
I sit alone in my bedroom
Staring at the walls
I've been up all damn night long
My pulse is
speeding
My love is yearning
I hold my breath and close my eyes
And dream about her
Cause she's 2000 light
years away
She holds my malakite so tight so..
Never let go
Cause she's 2000 Light years away
I sit outside
and watch the sunrise
Look out as far as I can
I can't see her, but in the distance
I hear some laughter
We
laugh together
Then I hold my breath and close my eyes
And dream about her
Cause she's 2000 light years away.
Private Ale
from the album Kerplunk (1992)
I wonder down these streets all by myself
Think of my future now
I just don't know
I don't seem to care
I
stop to notice that
I'm by your home
I wonder if you're sitting all alone
Or is your boyfriend there
Because
I feel so right
Let my imagination go
Until you're in my sight
And through my veins temptation flows
So I
sit down here on the hard concrete
Think of my future now
I just don't know
I don't seem to care So I sit across
the street from your home
I wonder if you're sitting all alone
Or is your boyfriend there
Westbound Sign
from the album Insomniac (1995)
Boxed up
All of her favorite things
Sold the rest at a rainy yard sale
Big plans and leaving friends and
A
westbound sign
Weighed out
Her choices on a scale
Prevailing nothing made sense
Just transportation and a
Blank
decision... she's taking off
No time and no copping out
She's burning daylight and petrol
Blacked out the rearview
mirror
Heading westward on
Strung out
On confusion road
And ten minute nervous breakdowns
Xanex a beer for
thought
And she determined... She's taking off
Is it salvation?
Or an escape from discontent?
Will she find her
name
In the California cement?
Punched out of the grind
That punched her one too many times...
Is tragedy 2000
miles away?
She's taking off
Redundant
from the album Nimrod (1997)
We're living in repetition
Content in the same old shtick again
Now the routine's turning to contention
Like
a production line going over and over and over
Roller coaster
Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice
I'm speechless
and redundant
'Cause I love you's not enough
I'm lost for words
Choreographed and lack of passion
Prototypes
of what we were
Went full circle 'til I'm nauseous
Taken for granted now
Now I waste it, I faked it, I ate it, now
I hate it
'Cause I cannot speak, I lost my voice
I'm speechless and redundant
'Cause I love you's not enough
I'm
lost for words, now I cannot speak
Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice
I'm speechless and redundant
'Cause I
love you's not enough
I'm lost for words
Worry Rock
from the album Nimrod (1997)
Another sentimental argument and bitter love
Fucked without a kiss again and dragged it through the mud
Yelling
at brick walls and punching windows made of stone
The worry rock has turned to dust and fallen on our pride
A knocked
down dragged out fight
Fat lips and open wounds
Another wasted night
And no one will take the fall
Where do
we go from here?
And what did you do with directions?
Promise me no dead end streets
And I'll guarantee we'll have
the road
Scattered
from the album Nimrod (1997)
I've got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor
Reminds me of the times we shared
Makes me wish that
you were here
Now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life
All the songs have been erased
Guess I've learned
from my mistakes
Open the past and present now and we are there
Story to tell and I am listening
Open the past
and present and the future too
It's all I've got and I'm giving it to you
Loose ends tied in knots leaving a lump
down in my throat
Gagging on a souvenir
Lodged to fill another year
Drag it on and on until my skin is ripped to
shreds
Leaving my self wide open
Living out a sacrifice
If you got no one and I got no place to go
Would it
be alright? Could it be alright?
Church On Sunday
from the album Warning (2000)
Today is the first day of the rest of our lives
Tomorrow is too late to pretend
everything's all right
I'm
not getting any younger as long
as you dont get any older
I'm not going to state that yesterday never was
Bloodshot
deadbeat and lack of sleep
Making you mascara bleed
tears down your face
leaving traces of my mistakes
If
I promise to go to church on Sunday
will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me, I'll die for you
and
this compromise
I hereby solemny swear to tell
the whole truth
And nothing but the truth is what
I'll
ever hear from you
"trust" is a dirty word that comes
only from such a liar
but "respect" is something I will
earn...
If you have faith
Poprocks & Coke
from the album International Superhits (2001)
Wherever you go
You know I’ll be there
If you go far,
You know I’ll be there

Do Da Da
from the album Shenanigans (2002)
Every time I'm falling down
You take the repurcussions
Headaches and anxieties
Advancing my frustrations
Rush into my depression
Sacrifice everything
Waste with me into nothing
Well now you're stuck with me
Hand up your soul to my wrist
And I'll vow my trust to you
Moving on and I always thought
I realized you've
imagined
You take the repurcussions
Headaches and anxieties
Advancing my frustrations
Rush into my depression
Sacrifice everything
Waste with me into nothing
Well now you're stuck with me
Hand up your soul to my
wrist
And I'll vow my trust to you
Moving on and I always thought
I realized you've imagined
On The Wagon
from the album Shenanigans (2002)
Sometimes it gets real hard,
And I need some kind of output.
For input twice the size of my one inch mind.
So
slap me on the hand.
Put it right back down my pants.
Turn me right around.
Kick me in the ass.
Well today
I say sweet things,
But tomorrow,
I'll be making up excuses,
For my actions ‘cuz it's been so long,
Since
I've been in love.
That special kind of feeling.
Guess my best excuse.
I'm on the wagon again.

Well I got
no real excuse.
I'm on the wagon again.
OH YEAH!
Minnasota Girl
un released
Sittin' on the hood of a camaro
Walkin' shooting stars across the earth
Counting all the bites from the mosquitoes
There
goes my Minnesota girl
Lazy days
Gone without notice
In a daze... with faraway eyes
Driving to a closed
spot Wednesday afternoon
There goes my Minnesota girl
In a daze
Go without notice
Lazy days....with faraway
eyes
Countin' from the pieces we have been through
Here comes my Minnesota girl
There goes my Minnesota
girl
