Complete Album Lyrics
Current mood: mischievous
Since lots of you have requested for us to post the lyrics from our album, here's the goods...
Presented in an easy to read linear format, now you can read along with all our songs, and sing right along if you want. Guess it's kinda like Karaoke, but without the off key crazy drunken lady who sings I'm a woooooomaan... W.O.M.A.N. (Pleeeeease don't say it again... we BEG you) :-)
Hollywood
It's just me now... you see
Not some bored facsimile
I can see how you'd be
Charmed by things that bother me
I don't care though to be
Lost in bored society
Somewhere in this vast country
There's a place I think for me
I want to wake up in Hollywood
Even though I know there's no good
All of my friends think everybody could
I want to wake up in Hollywood
I don't care now... to go
To a fair or to a show
Anywhere that you know
Can't compare to the west coast
When I'm there I believe
In the streets there there are dreams
Probably in your City
All you see is poverty
I want to wake up in Hollywood
Even though I know there's no good
All of my friends think everybody could
I want to wake up in Hollywood
This Life
I don't have much but I've got time
A young lean body a rock hard spine
And I'm no copy I make my lines
And you can't stop me I've made my mind
You're not gonna make it, not gonna make it
That's what they tell me the old people
Cause they can't help me they think they know
You're not gonna make it, not gonna make it
You're always faking man you don't even try
You're not gonna make it, not gonna make it
If I have to I will take it
This life is a miracle
I couldn't say that just a year ago
And even though I haven't reached my prime
We all know it's just a matter of time
This life is a centerfold
A heavenly body and I'm holding the clothes
I was riding shotgun just a minute ago
I might even drive soon you never know
The nights are heavy and I can't sleep
It's like a levy opens on me
And I am buried by ey every thought
And every memory of any loss
You're not gonna make it, not gonna make it
I know that's not me it's my small town
And everybody that put me down
You're not gonna make it, not gonna make it
Sometimes I hear it when I'm closing my eyes
You're not gonna make it, not gonna make it
If I have to I will take it
This life is a miracle
I couldn't say that just a year ago
And even though I haven't reached my prime
We all know it's just a matter of time
This life is a centerfold
A heavenly body and I'm holding the clothes
I was riding shotgun just a minute ago
I might even drive soon you never know
I know there's something that won't get old
Worth more than platinum that can't be sold
So I'm not sorry if I seem cold
It's just that hunger that makes me bold
You're not gonna make it, not gonna make it
They think I'm lucky to hit my stride
They've given up see pay them no mind
You're not gonna make it, not gonna make it
I'm gonna take it from you prove that it's mine
You're not gonna make it, not gonna make it
If I have to I will take it
This life is a miracle
I couldn't say that just a year ago
And even though I haven't reached my prime
We all know it's just a matter of time
This life is a centerfold
A heavenly body and I'm holding the clothes
I was riding shotgun just a minute ago
I might even drive soon you never know
This life is a miracle
This life is a centerfold
This life is a miracle
This life is a centerfold
All Right
I do it again, I do it again, I do it again, I do it again
I do it again, I do it again, I do it again, I do it again
I do it again, I do it again, I do it again, I do it again
I do it again, I do it again, I do it again, I do it again
If Life was a big black hole? I'd be in it?
If Life was a game of Pin the Tail on the Donkey, I'd be sure to win it
Why you cry at the silliest things, is still a mystery to me
Why you lie in the moment of truth, that's what's killing me
But we'll be all right
Once we stop going all night
I don't want to fight; don't need this in my life
I'm sure we'll be all right, after tonight
We'll be all right
Once we stop going all night
I don't want to stay; and you don't want to go
I'm sure we'll be all right, wouldn't you know
If Life was a toilet bowl? I'd be in it?
If Life was a game of Naked Twister, I'd be sure to spin it
Why I buy all those diamond rings, is still a mystery to me
Why you'd die when there's so much to live for, that's what's killing me
But we'll be all right
Once we stop going all night
I don't want to fight, don't need this in my life
I'm sure we'll be all right, after tonight
We'll be all right
Once we stop going all night
I don't want to stay and you don't want to go
I'm sure we'll be all right, wouldn't you know
And then I wake up again lying close to you?
Don't quite know what I'm supposed to do?
Nevertheless it's my fate so I do it again?
I do it again and again and again
But we'll be all right
Once we stop going all night
I don't want to fight, don't need this in my life
I'm sure we'll be all right, after tonight
We'll be all right
Once we stop going all night
I don't want to stay; and you don't want to go
I'm sure we'll be all right, wouldn't you know
We'll be all right
