What's so maybe aboutWhat's so maybe aboutWhat's so maybe about Katie?
What's so maybe aboutWhat's so maybe aboutWhat's so maybe about Katie?
What's the use in hesitating?Can't you see that Katie's waiting?Just because her youth is fadingDoesn't mean that she's not worth dating
What's so maybe aboutWhat's so maybe aboutWhat's so maybe about Katie?
What's so maybe aboutWhat's so maybe aboutWhat's so maybe about Katie?
I don't know what the fuss is all aboutJust take it slowIt's not like you can't live without herTo and froIf you've got a shred of doubt then it's not worth it
What's so maybe aboutWhat's so maybe aboutWhat's so maybe about Katie?
What's so maybe aboutWhat's so maybe aboutWhat's so maybe about Katie?
Can't you see her with her arms wide openShe's everything that you've been hoping forForever's not so long, stop mopingShe's got a daughter and you're just not coping.
Do you know everyone you ever swore you'd love for lifeI don't know them anymoreI know their namesI'd recognize them on the street and I don't love them
What's so maybe aboutWhat's so maybe aboutWhat's so maybe about Katie?
What's so maybe aboutWhat's so maybe aboutWhat's so maybe about Katie?
What's so maybe aboutWhat's so maybe aboutWhat's so maybe about Katie?

Don't call me a zero.I'm gonna be a hero.Like Phil Esposito or the Kennedys.
I'll be incorporated.And I'll be imitated.And overrated, but that doesn't bother me.
All the jaws will drop.And all the girls will scream.And there will be commotion when I show up on the scene.
All that you will see is a celebrity.All that you will see is a celebrity.
When I'm riding in my limo.I won't look out the window.Might make me homesick for humanity.
There's nowhere that I can't go.And there's nobody I don't know.And there's an emptiness that's eating me.
All the clocks will stop.And all the jeans will cream.It has always been my one and only dream.
All that's left of me is my celebrity.All that's left of me is my celebrity.
Leave your heart.Lay down your art.You're here for the party.Smile and wave.Try to behave.Be happy that they'veMade you a celebrity.
I could disappear.Into the great unknown.And it could wear my face, as if it were my own.
And all that you will see is a celebrity.All that's left of me is my celebrity.
I will get in first.And I will get in free.
All that's left of me is my celebrity.

Every one isEvery one isEvery one is addressed to meEvery one isEvery one isEvery one isOh F***
You can't imagine so many monkeys in the daily mailand all of them coming anonymously, so they leave no trail.Never thought I'd have an admirer from overseasbut somebody's sending me stationary filled with chimpanzees.
Some chimps in swimsuits.Some chimps are swinging from a vine.Some chimps in jackboots.Some chimps that wish they could be mine.Starsky and Hutch chimps.A chimp who's sitting on the can.A pair of Dutch chimps who send their love from Amsterdam.
Another postcard with chimpanzees.And every one is addressed to me.Another postcard with chimpanzees.And every one is addressed to me.
If I had to guess, I'd say the monkey-sender thinks its great.He's sending me, maybe she's sending me, just to see me get irate.I'm losing sleep and it's gonna be keeping me up all night.I thought it was funny but now I got money on a monkey-fight.
Some chimps in hard-hats.chimps a-working on a chain gang.Some chimps who love catsburning rubber in a Mustang.A birthday wishing chimp.A chimp in black, like a goth.A going fishing chimp.A British chimp in the bath.
Another postcard with chimpanzees.And every one is addressed to me.Another postcard with chimpanzees.And every one is addressed to me.
Somebody followed me even though I packed and moved my home.No matter what they come and they come, they won't leave me alone.Another monkey in the mail could make me lose my mindbut look at me shuffling through the stack until I finally findSome chimps in swimsuits.Some chimps in jackboots.Some chimps in hard-hats.Some chimps who love cats.I got some shaved chimpsthats chimps devoid of any hair.I got depraved chimpsdressed up in a-womens underwear.
Another postcard with chimpanzees.And every one is addressed to me.
Every one isEvery one isEvery one is addressed to me.Every one isEvery one isEvery one is addressed to me.
Another postcard with chimpanzees.And every one is addressed to me.Another postcard with chimpanzees.And every one is addressed to me.(Repeat)

Comfort in communityObliteratedGiven opportunity I hesitatedEven my humility'sHumiliated

When you die they make a listOf every love you never kissedOf each regret and each mistakeEvery choice you failed to makeOh well, oh wellOh well
It's a shame I have to waitUntil the endingEverything I've yet to breakIs surely bendingEvery vow I ever takeIs just pretendingThat this mess I makeIs worth defending

I have set aside everything I loveI have saved everything else for youI cannot decide what this doubt's made ofThough I've thought over it through and through
In a book in a box high upon a shelfIn a locked and gaurded vaultAre the things I keep only for myselfIt's your fate but it's not your fault
And for every useless reason I knowThere's reason not to careIf I hide myself wherever I goAm I ever really there?
There is nowhere else I would rather beBut I just can't be right hereAn enigma wrapped in a mysteryOr a fool consumed by fear
And for every useless reason I knowThere's reason not to careIf I hide myself wherever I goAm I ever really there?
I will give you all I could ever giveThough it's less than you will needCould you just forget if you can't forgiveAll the things I cannot concede?
And for every useless reason I knowThere's reason not to careIf I hide myself wherever I goAm I ever really there?

I'm not surprised it's come to thisSooner or later there must be another's kissBehind that kiss a promise of a life of blissYeah, great, I won't be taking the baitI'd rather drownAnd I will not turn my whole life upside down
Imagine everything you've doneUnder a microscope on view for everyoneAnd if the king of circumspection's hereHe's come in vain, I won't be sharing the blameI'll wear the crownAnd I will not turn my whole life upside down
Nothing's good enough for meTo shake me from complacencyI've made my mind up and I'll never be...
The kind of man to make a choiceFor if I hold my tongue I'll never lose my voiceIf each attempted act of sabotage destroys all hopeI won't be needing the ropeI'm gagged and boundAnd I will not turn my whole life upside down
And if the genie was set freeAnd by the laws of things like that, he's indebted to meI'd bury my three wishes deep down in the groundSo they will not turn my whole life upside down
Though I appreciate the aimTell Andy Warhol's ghost that he can keep his fameI'd only use it to make everything the same againSo don't applaud 'til the endWhen I'm not around, 'cause I will not turn my whole life upside down
Nothing's good enough for meTo shake me from complacencyI've made my mind up, I won't make a soundAnd I will not turn my whole life upside downI will not turn my whole life upside down

Maybe it would be funTo get a new opinionGet a little work doneAnd forget
Maybe it would be coolIf I rocked it old schoolTry to break a gold ruleAnd a sweat
Better than the first timeBetter than the worst timeIf I could just reverse timeI'd be set
Testing 1,2,3Can anybody hear me?If I shed the ironyWould anybody cheer me?If I acted less like meWould I be in the clear?
She got a new apartmentIt's out on the escarpmentAnd in her glove compartmentAre my songs
She hasn't even heard themSince she found out what the words meantShe decided she preferred themAll wrong
Kind of like the last timeWith a bunch of really fast rhymesIf we're living in the past, I'mSoon gone
Testing 1,2,3Can anybody hear me?If I shed the ironyWould anybody cheer me?If I acted less like meWould I be in the clear?
We recognize the presentIs half as pleasantAs our nostalgia for
The past'll be presentedRecast and reinventedUntil it's how we meant it
Testing 1,2,3Can anybody hear me?If I shed the ironyWould anybody cheer me?If I acted less like meWould I be in the clear?
He's everything that you needYou wiped out on your ten speedAnd either he will succeedOr just suck
Testing 1,2,3Can anybody hear me?If I shed the ironyWould anybody cheer me?If I acted less like meWould I be in the clear?
Begin the...
Testing 1,2,3Can anybody hear me?If I shed the ironyWould anybody cheer me?If I acted less like meWould I be in the clear?
Would I be in the clear, G?

She likes to sleep with the radio onSo she can dream of her favorite songThe one that no one has ever sung since she was small
She'll never know that she made it upShe had a soul and we ate it upThrown away like a paper cupThe music falls
The only flaw in her detailed planIs where she wins back the love of her manEveryone knows that he's never coming back
He took her heart and she took his nameHe couldn't stand taking all the blameHe left her only with guilt and shame and then she cracked
Won't it be dull when we rid ourselvesOf all these demons haunting usTo keep us company
In the dream I refuse to haveShe falls asleep in a lukewarm bathWe're left to deal with the aftermath again
On behalf of humanityI will fight for your sanityHow profound such profanity can be
Won't it be dull when we rid ourselvesOf all these demons haunting usTo keep us company
Won't it be odd to be happy like weAlways thought we're supposed to feelBut never seem to be
Near where I live there's a viaductWhere people jump when they're out of luckRaining down on the cars and trucks below
They've put a net there to catch their fallLike it'll stop anyone at allWhat they don't know is when nature calls, you go
They say that Jesus and mental healthAre just for those who can help themselvesBut what good is that when you live in hell on earth?
From the very fear that makes you want to dieIs just the same as what keeps you aliveIt's way more trouble than some suicide is worth
Won't it be dull when we rid ourselvesOf all these demons haunting usTo keep us company
Won't it be odd to be happy like weAlways thought we're supposed to feelBut never seem to be
Hard to admit I fought the war on drugsMy hands were tied and the phone was buggedAnother died and the world just shrugged it off

How in every visible way you shineAs if the stars in your wake alignAlmost impossible to malignBut just below where you shine, you burnAlthough I know it, I never learnJust goes to show that I can't discern
Aluminum to meAluminium to someYou can shine like silver all you wantBut you're just aluminum
Illuminating just what you want to showYou'll never rust, but I'll never knowYou can't be trusted I can't let go
Aluminum to meAluminium to someYou can shine like silver all you wantBut you're just aluminum
Every time you're here I forgetWhen you leave, you leave only regretEvery time you're near I forgetEverything
You're so lightweight, how can you surviveRecycling moments from others lives?You're not as precious as you contrive
Aluminum to meAluminum to someYou can shine like silver all you wantBut you're just aluminumYeah you're just aluminum
