You're looking for something That you'll never find You've got the questions You've got the time You've got the bruises To show you've been blind 'Cause you're looking for something That you'll never find I'm hoping you find it And someday you might But not in an instant And not overnight And I am the one who's Holding you tight Hoping you find it And someday you might Could you be the one Could you be the one who will find it Staring at the sun as you're blinded Could you be the one who will find That it's fine if it's not in me You're looking for something That's not even there You're knocking down tables You're kicking in chairs I know you're angry You know I don't care Looking for something That's not even there Make me an offer That I can't refuse Set up my options Force me to choose You've been abandoned I've been abused Set up my options 'Cause I can't refuse Oh, could you be the one Could you be the one who will find it Staring at the sun as you're blinded Could you be the one who will find That it's fine if it's not in me Over in Indiana Wearing their red bandanas The Indians eat bananas Thinking they're full of Vitamin C Looking for someone That I'll never be Some kind of bondage To make you feel free A Lover, a savior Oh, that isn't me Well you're looking for someone That I'll never be Could you be the one Oh could you be the one who will find it Staring at the sun as you're blinded Could you be the one who will find That it's fine if it's not in me

Hey, pass the ball Why do you run it in circles? Waves crash the wall Soon enough all your hard work will fail Wait, hold the phone I don't know if I can take this Leave me alone I don't know if I can make this work See, I know I'm lost and lonely Please go slow; I'm one and only I need to think 'Cause now I've got everyone wondering Pass me a drink Last, but not least, and my virtue's gone Lend me a hand I think I could walk if you help me Please understand If I could talk, I would tell you why See, I know I'm lost and lonely Please go slow; I'm one and only Only one All or none My heart's done Weighs a ton Hold me a while Tell me you'll never be leaving I'll walk the mile Seeing but not quite believing you See, I know I'm lost and lonely Please go slow; I'm one and only See, I know I'm lost and lonely (See, I know I'm lost and lonely) Please go slow; I'm one and only (Please go slow; I'm one and only)...

That's the problem, dear, with angry people They try to go it alone Digging in and making cranky feeble pleas That other angries disown Angry people think a good solution Is getting others involved So they surround themselves with happy people And watch their smiles dissolve We just drag them down We just drag them down We just drag them down Until they're just like us Angry people get so sanctimonious Telling us what to do Hoping no one outs them all as phonies just cause We are all phonies too And those of us who once had wives and families Understand what I mean What was once a calm and peaceful refuge Is overtaken by spleen 'Cause we just drag them down We just drag them down We just drag them down Until they're just like us I am the singer in the band We're only trying to lend a hand And though it's not what we had planned We understand That we just drag you down We just drag you down We just drag you down Until you're just like us In a square a thousand angry people Are waving signs in the air (HEY!) While a million other happy people Are trying hard not to care (BACK OFF!) You see, the happy people's biggest problem Is they're never fearing the worst While the rest of us will never sleep until Your happy bubbles are burst Yeah, we just drag them down Didn't I just drag you down Just watch me drag you down Until you're just like us Until you're just like us Oh, until you're just like us Until you're just like us

Some people are just all show Well, I don't mind that if the show is worth watching But it's all bark and no tree What's more ironic than a hippie in Versace? It's all peace and love and limousines You got the right message, but the wrong intentions How can you be touchy-feely when you've lost touch? I think it's time we had a little intervention with you Hey now, wake up And lose the makeup She makes you wanna know her When you don't know what it's worth Now you really wanna show her How she's just so down to Earth (via satellite) There's no better friends than the, the kind you pay If they don't balance, great - then the door will keep revolving It's a tight circle of the chosen few Well, how'd you manage that with the recipe involving Just a pinch of sweetness and a cup of angst? Mix it all up - you're the all-purpose flour Though it looks delicious, something smells bad I don't think I'd last a half an hour with you Hey now, wake up And lose the makeup She makes you wanna know her When you don't know what it's worth Now you really wanna show her How she's just so down to Earth (via satellite) What's it like to love you When there's no one else above you And no one gets to know you? Well, who'll be there to show you (via satellite)? It's like making love to a TV It's kinda novel, but it's miles away from satisfying Your hangers-on say it's a great deal But what you're selling, there's no chance in hell that I'll be buying Hey now, wake up And lose the makeup She makes you wanna know her When you don't know what it's worth Now you really wanna show her How she's just so down to Earth She makes you wanna know her When you don't know what it's worth Now you really wanna show her How she's just so down to Earth (via satellite)

I stopped into a club I thought I'd see a show Everyone was there At least everyone i know Their knickers in a knot Their hands upon their heart The best they'd ever seen The greatest work of art I wished that it was me.... It's bleaker than you think I'm running out of ink Give a guy a break This is what it takes To drive a man to drink A party at a friend's Toronto's coolest scene I thought I'd bring a tape T show them where I'd been And listen for a while The lyrics made them smile They said that it was fine Although it's not the style I said it wasn't me Once upon a time I couldn't get enough Until I made it big And that's when it got rough Disappointed now Perhaps a bit surprised To look them in the face And see it in their eyes They wish it wasn't me It's bleaker than you think I'm running out of ink Give a guy a break This is what it takes To drive a man to drink I used to hold you close You used to tell me things You never told a soul But then you heard me sing The details of your life Condensed into a song The neighbour and his wife Work out and sing along And you can't look at me It's bleaker than you think I'm running out of ink Give a guy a break This is what it takes To drive a man to drink Could song be an alibi A lyric replacement for falling in love But now that the well is dry I can't understand what I've been singing of... Do you know what it is to love? To really love? To really love.... Do I? I cycled by your house I saw you on the lawn I see you all the time Now that you are gone I tried to call your name But something made me stop I call you once a day Until you call the cops And told them it was me I filled a plastic bag With everything I wrote I threw it off a bridge And thought that it would float. The water made it sink The bag was bleeding ink. I wished that I could swim I wished that I could drink I wished that it was me. It's bleaker than you think I'm running out of ink Give a guy a break This is what it takes To drive a man to drink I'm running out of ink Give a guy a break This is what it takes To drive a man to drink To drive a man to drink To drive a man to drink

What if you were not just for show,What if you were not good to go,What if you were simply not so beautiful? What if you were not thin and tall,What if you were done with it all,What if you were not baby doll beautiful? (Beautiful)Isn't she,(Beautiful)Paid to be,(Beautiful)When I see,(Beautiful)Shame on me. Hoping that it's deeper than skin,Open to the beauty within,Scoping out the room's not a sin.Beautiful. Beautiful, and not much else, and not much else going on.No matter cause no one's as (Beautiful)Everytime she walks in the room the eyes all turn to find her,(Beautiful)Everything she says I simply say I never mind her,(Beautiful)Everyone she sees seems to ignore the whole experience,(Beautiful)Everytime she leave she sees me her checking her appearance. What if one day I wake up blind,Would I go on losing my mind,Groping in the dark just to find beautiful. Beauty disappears,Boredom perseveres. (Beautiful)Isn't she,(Beautiful)Paid to be,(Beautiful)When I see,(Beautiful)Shame on me.(Beautiful) (Beautiful) Isn't she?Everytime she walks in the room their heads all turn to find her(Beautiful) Paid to beEverything she says I simply say I never mind. (Beautiful) When I seeEveryone she sees seems to ignore the whole experience. (Beautiful) Shame on me.

Drunk on wine, I'm amazing Bitter Pill; it's my raising News at five and at midnight Caught on tape; serves me right The crowd around me starts to grow I can feel the undertow Anyone with a half a heart would help me out Before they ever let the other half find out But if they could see how far I've let you down Anyone with half a heart would let me drown Flashing lights couldn't warn her Paint myself in a corner Bracing now for the impact Losing hope, keeping track Standing on a crumbling wall Tethered to a cannonball Anyone with half a heart would help me out Before they ever let the other half find out But if they could see how high I've built this wall Anyone with half a heart would let me fall In the space between sleep and sleeplessness We redress all our wounds If we replace all this hopeless hopelessness Then we could rest Anyone with half a heart would let me drown Anyone with half a heart would pull me down Anyone with half a heart would let me fall Anyone with half a heart wouldn't care at all Anyone with half a heart would help me out Before they ever let the other half find out But if they could see how far I've let you down Anyone with half a heart would let me drown

Pretty soon you will be wanting me To go. And I will only be the enemy I know. Pretty soon you will be needing me To leave. But know that you and I will always be Naive. Maybe you'll forgive the things that I forgot. Maybe you're forgetting all the times we fought. Maybe we should divvy up the things we bought. But maybe not. Why don't we lay down on the kitchen floor All that we say we had with us before? We'll find our way to what we're looking for By seperating what is mine from yours. Pretty soon I'll be the one you hold At bay. And then forever I'll be good as gold If I may. I know your heart cannot be bought or sold For much. Darlin' I'd consider yourself told In Dutch. And we can argue 'till our throats are sore About how far you take a metaphor. You always deign to see the glass half filled And now it seems to me the half glass spilled. Maybe you'll forgive the things that I forgot. Maybe you're forgetting all the times we fought. Maybe we should divvy up the things we bought. But maybe Maybe you'll forgive the things that I forgot. Maybe you're forgetting all the times we fought. Maybe we should divvy up the things we bought. But maybe not. Maybe not. Maybe not

Friend, this shouldn't be the way things endBut then, a break is just around the bend.And when, you tell me as I leaveYou're scared you'll never see my face againWell, I'm not sure it's the truth You don't think I can love youYou don't think I can love youYou don't think I can love youBut I can and I will and I do You write - I read your letters every nightAll right, I skim them just to be polite.I fight, embarrassment and shameThe mention of your name makes me turn whiteBut guilt still makes me refrain You don't think I can love youYou don't think I can love youYou don't think I can love youBut I can and I will and I do I imagine you think I don't think of youYou know you couldn't be more wrongIf good intentions paved the road that gets me throughI've got a six-lane highwayAnd I intend to somedayDo all the things I say I can and I will and I do Hey - It's hard for me to go awayOkay, I know it's not adultBut it's just as difficult for me to stayAnd anyway you say You don't think I can love youYou don't think I can love you ohYou don't think I can love you love you love you love you I can and I will and I doI can and I will and I do
