Lights out, here comes the night
As the darkness falls over the light
Lights out, there goes the day
And this fear that comes won’t go away
And I’m losing track of time
In the corners of my mind
And I’m living out my private suicide
Lights out, I lost myself
In the space between heaven and hell
Lights out, finding my way
Till I waste my time losing the way
I saw my friend the other day
And I don’t’ know
Exactly just what he became
It goes to show
It wasn’t long ago
And I was just like you
And now I think I’m sick
And I want to go home
How have I been? How have you been?
It’s been so long
What have you done with all your time
And what went wrong?
I knew you back then
And you, you knew me
And now I think you’re sick
I want to go home
Anybody ever say no?
Ever tell you that you weren’t right?
Where did all the little kid go?
Did you lose it in a hateful fight?
And you know it’s true
It wasn’t long ago
And I was just like you
And now I think I’m sick
And I want to go home
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 two thousand light years away
She holds my malakite so tight so…
Never let go
‘Cause she’s two thousand light years away
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
I hold my breath and close my eyes and…
Dream about her
‘Cause she’s two thousand light years away
She holds my malakite so tight so…
Never let go
‘Cause she’s two thousand light years away
Years away
She’s a loner, not a stoner
Bleeding heart and the soul of Miss Teresa
Supernova, Cherry Cola
She’s the cedar in the trees of Minnesota
I’m a rough boy ’round the edges
Getting drunk, and falling in the hedges
She’s my weakness, fucking genius
Swear to god and I’m not even superstitious
Youngblood, youngblood
She’s my little youngblood
Youngblood, youngblood
Punch-drunken youngblood
Are you stranded, like I’m stranded?
Do you want to watch the world fall to pieces?
Are you broken, like I’m broken?
Are you restless? She said “Fuck you, I’m from Oakland!”
Well, I’m just a mutt
And nowhere is my home
Where dignity’s a land mine
In the school of lost hope
I’ve panhandled for a life
‘Cause I’m not afraid to beg
Hand me down your lost and founds
Of second hand regret
You better swallow your pride
Or you’re gonna choke on it
You better digest your values
Because they turn to shit
Honor’s gonna knock you down
Before your chance to stand up and fight
I know I’m not the one
I got no pride
Sects of disconnection
And traditions of lost faith
No culture’s worth a stream of piss
Or a bullet in my face
To hell with unity
Separation will kill us all
Torn to shreds and disjointed
Before the final fall
Ready for a cheap escape
On the brink of self-destruction
Widespread panic
Broken glass inside my head
Bleeding down these thoughts of Anguish
Mass confusion
There’s a plague inside of me
Eating at my disposition
Nothing’s left
Torn out of reality
Into a state of no opinion
Limp with hate
I wanna jump out!
I wanna jump out!
I wanna jump out!
I wanna jump out!
Who the hell are you to tell me
What I am and what’s my master plan?
What makes you think that it includes you?
Self-righteous wealth
Stop flattering yourself
So when the smoke clears here I am
Your reject all-American
Sucking up your social sect
Making you a nervous wreck
To hell and back and hell again I’ve gone
You’re not my type, not my type
What’s the difference between you and me?
I do what I want and you do what you’re told
So listen up and shut the hell up
It’s no big deal and I’ll see you in hell
This is a public service announcement, this is only a test
Emergency, evacuation, protest
May impair your ability to operate machinery
Can’t quite tell just what it means to me
Keep out of reach of children, don’t you talk to strangers
Get your philosophy from a bumper sticker
Warning! Live without warning
I say warning! Live without warning
Better homes and safety-sealed communities
Did you remember to pay the utility?
Caution: police line, you better not cross
Is it the cop or am I the one that’s really dangerous?
Sanitation, expiration date, question everything
Or shut up and be a victim of authority
Warning! Live without warning
I say warning! Live without warning
I’m not part of your elite
I’m just alright
Class structure’s waving colors
Bleeding from my throat
Not subserviant to you, I’m just alright
Down classed by the powers that be
Give me loss of hope
Cast out… buried in a hole
Struck down… forcing me to fall
Destroyed… giving up the fight
Well, I know I’m not alright
What’s my price and will you pay it if it’s alright?
Take it from my dignity
Waste it until it’s dead
Throw me back into the gutter
‘Cause it’s alright
Find another pleasure fucker
Drag them down to hell
Cast out… buried in a hole
Struck down… forcing me to fall
Destroyed… giving up the fight
Well, I know I’m not alright
I fucked up again, it’s all my fault
So turn me around and face the wall
And read me my rights and tell me I am wrong
Until it gets into my thick skull
A slap on the wrist, a stab in the back
Torture me, I’ve been a bad boy
Nail me to the cross and tell me you have won
I lost before I did any wrong
I’m hexed with regrets and bad luck
So keep your distance, it’s rubbing off
Or you will be damned to spend your life in hell
On Earth with me tangled at your feet
You finally met your nemesis
Disguised as your fatal long-lost love
So kiss it goodbye until death do we part
You fell for a jinx for crying out loud
wasted
