Well, I've been living in the city
Where the day's light is shitty
And the nights can be so long
So now I gotta break away
From the same old everyday
I'm heading back where I belong

It's what I gotta do
You gotta tell 'em all to stick it where the sun don't shine

Everybody gotta move out to the country
Everybody gotta get out of the city

Well now I'm living in the city
Where the scenery isn't pretty
As the grass and trees can be
So now I gotta use my mind
Where the sun'd always shine
To go see what I can see

It's what I gotta do
Gotta tell 'em all to stick it where the sun don't shine

Everybody gotta move out to the country
Everybody gotta get out of the city
It ain't no surprise when you're under blue skies
You don't got no worries, pain, and no hurry
Everybody gotta move out to the country

Goodbye city life!

We are there...

Right there, see that sun?
I can breath the air
I can wear no clothes
I can grow my hair
I got ample room and there's plenty to spare 'cause...

Everybody gotta move out to the country
Everybody gotta get out of the city
Everybody gotta move out to the country
Everybody gotta get out of the city

It ain't no surprise
When you're under blue skies

Don't got no worries, pain, and no hurry
Everybody's gotta move out to the country

Pack your bags!

Thanks to Saiber, who transcribed the song for us!

I love myself
I want you to love me
When I'm feelin' down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me

Chorus:
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you
I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no

You're the one who makes me come running
You're the sun who makes me shine
When you're around I'm always laughing
I want to make you mine

I close my eyes
And see you before me
Think I would die
If you were to ignore me
A fool could see
Just how much I adore you
I get down on my knees
I'd do anything for you

Chorus

I love myself
I want you to love me
When I'm feelin' down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me

Chorus

I want you
I don't want anybody else
And when I think about you
I touch myself
Ooh, oooh, oooooh, aaaaaah

I, I, I, I, I don't want anybody else
When I think about you
I touch myself
Oh I don't want anybody else
When I think about you
I touch myself

I touch myself (7x)
I honestly do
I touch myself (3x)
I honestly do
I touch myself...

Thanks to Sanna Larsson for sending us the lyrics!

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
when you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
if you feel like letting go, (hold on)
when you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
when you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. (repeat & fade)
(Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)

Clean could still be the big whit knight
A man so blessed with foresight foresight

The page wants to stay white
Fixed
Lost

Clean martial rhythm's been locked in
The king is hound's-tooth clean
As anyone can see

Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way

And Oh my dreams
It's never quiet as it seems
Never quiet as it seems

I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you

And then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be
La
I want more (impossible to ignore)
I want more (impossible to ignore)

And they'll come true (impossible not to do)
And they'll come true (impossible not to do)

And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find

A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me

I told Althea I was feeling lost
Lacking in some direction
Althea told me upon scrutiny
my back might need protection

I told Althea that treachery
was tearin me limb from limb
Althea told me: now cool down boy -
settle back easy Jim

You may be Saturday's child all grown
moving with a pinch of grace
You may be a clown in the burying ground
or just another pretty face
You may be the fate of Ophelia
sleeping and perchance to dream -
honest to the point of recklessness
self centered to the extreme

Ain't nobody messin with you but you
your friends are getting most concerned -
loose with the truth
maybe it's your fire
but baby...don't get burned
When the smoke has cleared, she said,
that's what she said to me:
You're gonna want a bed to lay your head
and a little sympathy

There are things you can replace
and others you cannot
The time has come to weigh those things
this space is getting hot -
you know this space is getting hot

I told Althea
I'm a roving sign -
that I was born to be a bachelor -
Althea told me: Ok that's fine -
So now I'm out trying to catch her

Can't talk to me without talking to you
We're guilty of the same old thing
Talking a lot about less and less
And forgetting the love we bring

Well I wish I had known your name
Is it possible that we might have felt the same
'bout the senselessness within the air
paints it's words almost everywhere
now the sun will always shine on this palomine

Well I wish I had known you then
well who knows I might have been a better friend
but now the senselessness within the air
paints it's words almost everywhere
how come life sometimes makes you feel so scared
I know the sun will always shine (2x)
yes the sun will always shine on this palomine

Well even when I think out about
the things you used to say out loud
even then I can't say I was prepared
to settle down to what you did
you made your choice and that was it
how come life sometimes makes you feel so scared
I know the sun will always shine (2x)
yes the sun will always shine on this palomine

Love - Devotion
Feeling - Emotion

Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence.

If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny.

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.

That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence.

Every now and then I get a little crazy
That's not the way it's supposed to be
Sometimes my vision is a little hazy
I can't tell who I should trust or just who I let trust me (yeah)

People try to say I act a little funny
But that's just a figure of speech to me
They tell me I changed because I got money
But if you were there before then you're still down with me

Chorus:
What about your friends
Will they let you down again
What about your friends are they gonna be low down
Will they ever be around or will they turn their backs on you

Well is it me or can it be I'm a little too
Friendly so to speak hypothetically
Say I supply creativity to what others
Must take as a form of self-hate
Only to make an enemy
Which results in unfortunate destiny
They dog me out then be next to me
Just cause I am what some choose to envy

Every now and then I get a little easy
I let a lot of people depend on me
I never though they would ever deceive me
Don't you know when times got rough I was standing on my own
I'll never let another get that close to me
You see I've grown a lot smarter now
Sometimes you have to choose and then you'll see
If your friends is true they'll be there with you
Through the thick and thin

Chorus

Yo is it me, is it me or can it be I am a little too friendly
So to speak hypothetically
'Cause I supply creativity to what others
Must take as a form of self-hate
Only to make an enemy
Which results in unfortunate destiny
They dog me out then be next to me
Just cause I am what some choose to envy

Chorus

People say I act a little funny
I wouldn't change not for no money
I'll be a friend as long as you're a friend to me (yeah, yeah)
Even though I might seem easy
It don't give you no cause to deceive me
It's not the way that I want my friends to ever be

Chorus

I'm going nowhere
Going nowhere fast
Drowning in my memory
Living in the past
Everything looked black till I found her
She's all I need and that¡äs what I
say I call her RED

She's my shelter from the strom
She's the place to rest my head
Late at night she keeps me warm
I call her RED

Watch an eyeball
Take a free fall
At the mention of a name
In its socket
And like a rocket
Rises just the same

But could my eyelids
Cover what I did
The shuttin of the door
And could these ceilings
Contain my feelings
Me down on the floor

Jerked my fountain
Ice cream mountains
I suppose I'm just too late
Form a line here
I think I'll die here
These people naseate me

But if my patience
Were a spaceship
High up in orbit
Then I would rise here
Hypnotized here
Risen from where I sit

A solid angle
My legs do dangle
Off the counter's edge
Soft words spoken
Promises broken
Close my eyes instead

But could my eyelids
Cover what I did
The shuttin of the door
And could these ceilings
Contain my feelings
Me down on the floor
Me down on the floor
Me down on the floor
Me down on the floor

You're an Angel to me.

Johnny Angel, how I love him.
He's got something I can't resist,
but he doesn't even know that I exist.

Johnny Angel, how I want him.
How I tingle when he passes by.
Every time he says "Hello" my heart begins to fly.

I remember how I get carried away.
I dream of him and me, and how it's gonna be.

Other fellas call me up for a date,
but I just sit and wait, I'd rather concentrate ...

... on Johnny Angel.
'Cause I love him.
And I pray that someday he'll love me.
And together we will see how lovely heaven will be.

Blue moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own

Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for someone I really could care for

She said "I'm fine, I'm okay"
cover, up your trembling hands
There's indecision when you
Know you ain't got nothing left
when the good times never stay
And the cheap thrills always
seem to fade away

When will we
When will we fall down

Jump back, got to get out of here
been too long this time
Jump back, got to get out of here
When will we fall down

She hates her life
She hates her skin
She even hates her friends
Tries to hold on to all the
reputations she can't mend
And there's some chance we could fail
but the last time someone was
always there for bail
When will we fall down

Jump back, got to get out of here
been too long this time
Jump back, got to get out of here
When will we fall down

For the last time conscience calls
For a good friend I was never there at all
When will we fall down

He's a movie star, only drives rented cars.
Met him in a bar, said "I know who you are."
Took him to my party as the games were starting.
Bottle's on the ground. Are you ready now?
When it comes to me, I'm gonna be ready.
It's my turn in a minute, gonna put my message in it.

Five minutes in the closet with you.

He's in a bunch of movies, really stupid movies.
It's not entirely his fault, he can't control it all.
I am not afraid. I can hardly wait.
Truth or dare, I don't care. Tell the truth I dare you.

When it comes around, when it comes around,
When it comes around, when it comes around.

Do you feel it too, what I feel for you?
If it was just us, would you do what I do?
Everybody's watching. Everybody's looking.
She's such a sucker. He don't want to fuck her.
He is gonnna kiss me, if he doesn't miss me.
I am ready for it now. Already on the ground.

Five minutes in the closet with you.
Oooh! Five minutes in the closet with you.

Spin it 'round again.

Gotta own up on my own somehow
Toss the beginning and try to live it down
'n work my way out
I been so down about it

It gets the same every time I shy
Away from the blame and I stand my time
You can understand why
I been so down about it

She's gonna give me all the time I need
to finish it
and if I can't I'll sleep
over

And out like a light when it's not plugged in
fading around if it starts again
you just don't get it when
I get so down about it

I drop you a hint so I hope you don't catch
You fumble your keys and I throw the latch
You'll still worried that
I been so down about it

Bridge:
Out of it so I'd hope she'd be there
Talk to her as I climb the stairs
I told her

gotta own up on my own somehow
gotta own up on my own somehow
gotta own up on my own somehow

Give me your hand,
Get in the van,
Do you understand?
He's got a plan.

He's got a room for one night,
So don't try to fight.
He's got a knife,
No respect for your life.

Is it for real?
How does it feel?
We made a deal.
Even paid for your meal.

She's got a pain in her head.
Her eyes are red.
Touch her again and you're dead.
You heard what she said.

I am a heroine.
He tried to do her in.
I gave it back to him.
He won't do it again.

I'm a heroine.
He tried to do her in.
I gave it back to him.
He won't do it again.

Give me your hand
Get in the van,
Do you understand?
Act like a man.

He got a room for one night,
So don't try to fight.
He's got a knife,
No respect for your life.

Is it for real?
How does it feel?
We made a deal.
Even paid for your meal.

She's got a pain in her head.
The bed is red.
Touch her again and you're dead.
You heard what I said.

I'm a heroine.
He tried to do her in.
I gave it back to him.
He won't do it again.

I'm a heroine.
He tried to do her in.
I gave it back to him.
He won't do it again.

Don't try to run.
You did what you done.
I've got a gun,
And no mercy for scum.

You're gonna rot in the ground,
not come back around.
You pushed yourself down,
and outta my town.

I'm a heroine.
He tried to do her in.
I gave it back to him.
He won't do it again.

I'm a heroine.
He tried to do her in.
I gave it back to him.
He won't do it again.

Crawl off the faces
With my nonsense
And clog your ears with ashes
And boiled the sound to dry

It's not your fault you're not my hero
It's not your fault I can't make it clear enough
It's not your fault at all
Do do do

Break off my jaw
Scrape off my teeth
Pull off my leg
Drop off my load

For a quarter, you can give him a quarter
You can go into town with a reason to have an erection
I like your tatoo depiction
South Carolina

Because I've been dying
And I've been trying
For ways to get through
Days to get through

And I chew my grass
Just my grass
My grass, my grass, my grass, my...
Do do do

Do do do

South Carolina
Carolina
Carolina
South Carolina

Because I've been searching for you
I've been praying for you
I've been saying for you
I've been waiting for you

South Carolina

Do do do
Do do do

Dawn can't decide
if there should be more of the porch,
she's sick of being inside.
He read the signs
and now they're making out in Lancaster
just to pass the time. Woo!

Curtis C called.
Left a message in japenese.
Dawn took the call.
Reviewed the newest Taang! release
Joe shudda known that the Long Island Lolita would be the cause.

Feels good to be Jesse on the inside today.
Feels good to be Jesse on the inside today.

G minor morning was a D minor dawning.

What's the matter with you?
You've been down all day
What happened to you
To make you feel that way?
Baby ain't that a shame when they call you those names
Dropping out from school
Guess it wasn't so cool
Everyone, everyone needs, some space to breathe
All the time we have been blind, so blind
Yeah we just couldn't see it,
Yeah you're too old to cry
Too young to die
What happens in the in between?
Don't you think its strange, things just change
Its just a burnt out town a burnt out scene
You've been a dropout ever since you've been seventeen
Lonely child when will you see?
You need to be free
Often times people they find
They're not blind
Yeah, they just don't see
Lonely child listen to me
Its just a burnt out town
Its just a one horse scene
Gotta get away, gotta get away, you got to
Hanging out in the parking lot at Dairy Queen
You've been a dropout ever since you've been seventeen
gotta get away, gotta get away, you got to..
