BUDDHA
CAROUSEL
I talk to you every now and then 
I never felt so alone again 
I stop to think at a wishing well 
My thoughts send me on a carousel 
Here I am standing on my own 
Not a motion from the telephone 
I know not a reason why 
Solitudes a reason to die 
~
Just you wait and see 
As school life is a 
It is a woken dream 
Aren't you feeling alone? 
~
I guess its just another 
I guess its just another 
I guess its just another night alone 
~
Now as I walk down the street 
I need a job just to sleep in sheets 
Buying food every once in a while 
But not enough to purchase a smile 
~
A tank of gas is a treasure to me 
I know now that nothing is free 
I talk to you every now and then 
I never felt so alone again 
~
Just you wait and see 
As school life is a 
It is a woken dream 
Aren't you feeling alone? 
~
I guess its just another 
I guess its just another 
I guess its just another night alone

TV
When I'm at work, ya, I always rush right home for lunch 
So I can check out what's up on the Brady Bunch 
And when I'm walking through the front door at night 
I gotta see who's winning on The Price is Right, oh 
I never dreamed that I'd spend my days 
Staring at some tube emitting cathode rays 
I need my TV 
~
What's happening in this world, I don't care at all 
But it better not pre-empt Monday Night Football 
I can't even come up with my own views 
I'm taught how to think from the evening news, oh 
~
I never dreamed that I'd spend my days 
Staring at some tube emitting cathode rays 
I need my TV 
~
La la la...

STRINGS
I would do anything and that's 
What scares me so bad 
Don't want to live my life alone 
Don't want to go back to what I had 
Don't want to spend my life without 
All those special things 
Don't want to walk around being tied to 
Anyone else's 
~
Strings, strings, strings, strings 
~
I would do anything and that's

FENTOOZLER
At the risk of sounding rude 
Just who the fuck do you think you are 
To tell me what you expect of me today? 
Well, you can take your attitude 
You're out of luck, you've gone way too far
If you think there's any chance I'm gonna stay 
~
How long can I string you along? 
How little of myself can I give 
And still make you believe I care? 
~
At the risk of sounding trite 
Why the fuck do you think you're right 
About every little thing that you say? 
~
And do you think that it is right 
For Tom to spend another night 
Writing songs about all the people he thinks are gay? 
~
How long can I string you along? 
How little of myself can I give 
And still make you believe I care? 
~
How long can I string you along 
How little of myself can I give 
And still make you believe I care?

TIME
When the clock strikes two 
There's just so much to do 
And I can't explain what I need 
Jobs and social groups 
Hearing the latest news 
Keeping your reputation clean 
~
And I don't want to worry 
About being on time 
I see the way you hurry 
And time runs your life 
Again 
~
The difference between East and West 
Money means so much less 
And objects aren't so important to buy 
~
I wish that a clock 
Could often just be stopped 
And then we look into the time 
~
And I don't want to worry 
About being on time 
I see the way you hurry 
And time runs your life 
Again

ROMEO AND REBECCA
Walking through the grass 
Another blade next to you from the ground 
As the wind does pass 
I notice as you feel the breath of my shout 
Your words are kind 
The kind that repeatedly say no 
But that's alright 
I'm older than you so I've got time 
~
What have you said, reach out your hand 
There's a black shadow on my wall 
But as I look into my mind 
I can see that girls are a waste of time 
~
We've all seen the bridge 
A broken seam and a girl on one side 
You think your words will work 
They only work when you lay down and close your eyes 
~
I thought of all the lines 
All the right ones used at all the wrong times 
But that's alright 
Depression's just a sarcastic state of mind 
~
What have you said, reach out your hand 
There's a black shadow on my wall 
But as I look into my mind 
I can see that girls are a waste of time 
~
I don't want to live alone 
I don't want to live in 
My broken dreams of you 
~
I don't want to live along with 
My broken dreams of you 
I don't want to live along with 
My broken dreams of you

21 DAYS
My mind wanders as I'm trying not to fall in love with you 
'Cause every time I awake I ponder on my mistakes of 
What I said, it is always my esteen that I sure lose 
Playing those stupid games as I always end up chasing you 
I can't help myself anymore 
Rehearsing my thoughts as I'm too scared to come to your door 
I pushed it all aside just to stand next to you 
But now you won't talk to me for something that I didn't do 
~
It's not gonna work 
~
And I'm trying not to think of you 
I'm all confused as I think of the things that I would do 
I'm all shook up as I get all nervous inside 
My emotions are something that I will always hide
SOMETIMES
Oh, how I wish that they would last 
Moments of peace that just slip through me so fast 
Just when I think that they are gonna stay 
Everything inside me just starts fading away 
Sometimes it seems like all I hope for 
Just gets thrown down on the floor 
And then it seems like you don't love me anymore 
Sometimes I wish that I could run away 
Sometimes I wish I just had something to say 
~
She looks at me and doesn't know the words to say 
But it's not you, I just don't feel quite right today 
All these things I say and do were never planned 
But how the fuck am I supposed to make you understand that 
~
Sometimes it seems like all I hope for 
Just gets thrown down on the floor 
And then it seems like you don't love me anymore 
Sometimes I wish that I could run away 
Sometimes I wish I just had something to say

POINT OF VIEW
Two different people, two different places 
Through a one way window with two different faces 
Agreements are not reached, faces are forgotten 
The other person's shoes, you have got in 
Stubborn minded enclosed to your own world 
Wake up and see someone else's morals 
Want is right to you 
Might be true 
~
It's a different point of view to you 
You cannot see things that are different to me 
And I can't understand why you cannot see 
The things that I cannot see 
~
I see what you don't see 
I see what you don't see 
Turn around and the shadows are all around me 
~
Two different people, two different places 
Through a one way window with two different faces 
Agreements are not reached, faces are forgotten 
The other person's shoes, you have got in

MY PET SALLY
I'm gonna wanna see myself with someone too 
Friends I don't pay are friends i never knew 
So I took the chance and got some help from a few 
And got a long and skinny friend to talk to 
Cause I have the time and the liberty 
To play with my pet sally 
Please don't go away, sally please 
~
No more lonely showers and uneaten foods 
My salamander has hygiene too 
And he thinks of me the way I think of you 
The only next step is for him to say I do 
~
Sally please don't go away 
I won't be living in yesterday 
The lonely nights 
Getting beat up by gays in bar fights 
*****
REEBOK COMMERCIAL
You are beter than me, 
Girls money and everything I... 
Try to compete with you 
But you beat me at everything I do 
I see in you 
The things that I would like to be 
But i'm different from you 
So you will have to be like me 
~
I cannot be bought my 
personality is what I choose 
I was brought up without a silver cup! 
I won't covet the things owned by you 
~
For all the world 
Material things are now more and more 
Jealousy for me an you 
~
I won't covet the things owned by your store 
*****
TOAST AND BANANAS
Do you wanna know what I think of you? 
'Cause you're not the way I thought you should be 
Do take back what you said 
It's time to fix, it's time to fix your head 
~
And now all alone, one's less than two 
I've never been better off living lonely 
To listen to what you say 
I couldn't care less of what you say 
~
What did you think of me acting this way 
I guess you never really thought at all 
Is that what you call your brain? 
Is that why I call you hang up on me? 
~
I wanted to know, I didn't want to lose 
And now I'm a man who's just living small 
Listen to what you say 
I couldn't care less of what you say 
~
To me as I walk alone I 
Much rather be riding prone, man 
To be just another one you are lame to 
~
I wanted to know, I didn't want to lose 
But now I'm a man who's just living small 
Listen to what you say 
I couldn't care less of what you say 
~
To me as I tune you out of my mind 
Won't bend over backwards or 
Take another step there to 
Hear from you again 
~
Don't talk to me as I walk alone, I 
Much rather be riding prone, man 
Be just another one you are lame to 
~
Don't talk to me as I tune you out of my mind 
Won't bend over backwards or 
Take another step there to 
Hear from you again 
~
Don't talk to me as I walk alone, I 
Much rather be riding prone, man 
To be just another one you are lame to

THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
White girl living in the big city 
In a big apartment house 
She's living with her boyfriend now 
~
She drives off every day for school and work 
She washes dishes now 
And watches tv on the pull out couch 
~
And every day's the same 
~
White girl moved back to the suburbs 
And she finally found a man 
Who knows how to take care of her 
~
She bought the perfect little house 
And the lawn's well manicured 
And she'd never missed a day of work 
~
And every day's the same 
~
White girl couldn't go on knowing 
She was just here wasting her time 
She drowned in the lake last night 
~
They found her bloated body floating 
But she still walks around 
Performing all her daily chores 
~
She still don't know what life's about 
~
Cause every day's the same 
And she's got no one to love 
*****
DON'T
There was a time long ago 
But it seemed like yesterday 
When all I wanted was you 
And now you make a segway 
As you turn your face away 
And I know your words aren't true 
~
And I don't want your lies 
And I don't think that I'm 
better than you inside 
~
And you can take off your disguise 
Cause I can see the truth that's hidden 
Behind your eyes 
~
And all those words that you don't say 
just mean less and less each day 
you can't make me shed a tear 
~
I think about tomorrow 
Another day of sorrow 
But I don't think that I'll be here
