The Fool

I found a picture of a holy man
I taped it to ceiling of my van
I roll around cranking Motley Crue
Drinking tall boys and turning loose
I park my van under suicide bridge
I slide the door open and I let ‘em in
I gotta flock that follows me
I’m the pied piper of suburbia
Just a fool
All the kids call me the king
All the cops call me the trash man
But I always have the answer
‘Cause I always play the fool
I did some time down in juvie
And now I’m giving back to the community
I keep the kids safe and dry
And the only way to do that is to get ‘em high
Just a fool
All the kids call me the king
All the cops call me the trash man
But I always have the answer
‘Cause I always play the fool
Got a flock that follows me
I’m the pied piper of suburbia
Just a fool
All the kids call me the king
All the kids call me the king
But I always have the answer
‘Cause I always play the fool

Sometimes I Lie Awake

Everybody listen up
Little Jimmy he got fucked up
Took my pistol down to the school
Never made it past homeroom
I never knew you were such a lonely child
I never knew you were
Sometimes I lie awake
Everybody tells you what to do
Never how to feel
They’re taking the easy way out again
Everybody tells you what to think
Never how to feel
Leaving it up to you
I saw him rising from the grave
The sun was shining through the rain
I walked around the schoolyard
Flowers were coming up through the cracks
I never knew you were such a lonely child
I never knew you were
Sometimes I lie awake
Everybody tells you what to do
Never how to feel
They’re leaving it up to you
Everybody tells you what to think
Never how to feel
They’re taking the easy way out again

You're Not Alone

Here we are waiting for the show to begin
The curtain rises but no one’s there
Up above something watches us
It’s not known why it cares
Do it all for me
Do you believe in me?
(you’re not alone)
Lonely sighs late at night
Our broken souls come up for air
Do it all for me
Do you believe in me?
(you’re not alone)

Tides
03:05
|

The sun hates the moon
The stars are confused
Heaven storms about
The earth grows dark
Will the sun ever shine again?
Will the moon ever rise again?
The tides run away
Shadows on the moon
Cancer is in bloom
Spots on the sun
Rivers run with blood
Will the sun ever shine again?
Will the moon ever rise again?
The tides run away

Middle of the Night

In the middle of the night
When I come calling you
Will you shiver in the moonlight?
Clutching at the gloom
In the middle of the night
When I come calling you
Will you ever bleed the darkness?
That’s trapped inside of you
I never had a reason to come after you
You’re never going to heaven the angels have no room
In the middle of the night
When I come calling you
Will you confess all your sins now?
Or will you turn them loose?
In the middle of the night
When I come calling you
Will you whisper like a madman?
Pointing at the moon
I never had a reason to come after you
You’re never going to heaven the angels have no room
You’re never going to heaven baby

Outta Luck

Stars they are shining
Love is in hiding
And I do not know you’re name
And I cannot help you
Stars they are shining
Love its in hiding
And I do not know you’re name
And I cannot help you
You’re outta luck

Monday Morning

What’s it like to be a rock star?
What’s it like to not fade away?
Can you ever live without a stage?
Seperation
Hey what’s it like to be a movie star?
What’s it like to be the king of the world?
Can you ever really be yourself?
Separation
Separation gonna tear me apart
I know I take it too hard
But it’s getting kind of late
And I never want to be the same
Monday morning comes to soon
Hey what’s it like to be an astronaut?
What’s it like to float in space?
Did you ever want to stay out there?
Separation
Separation gonna tear me apart
I know I take it too hard
But it’s getting kind of late
And I never want to be the same
Monday morning comes to soon
