You're beautiful When you're breaking your back You're a lot like me Why's your face so sad You're beautiful With a broken back You can change your sex your sex your sex And you can change your past And if you don't, You don't say something I'll say something Someone's gotta say it soon x2 You're black and blue And you prefer bare feet There's a twinkle in your eye Yeah you're a lot like me You're a little bruised But the fruits so sweet You can change your sex And you can set me free And if you don't, You don't say something I'll say something Someone's gotta say it soon x2 Her legs held the tower up The moon was in her eyes The city loves a pretty girl A girl with a surprise She left her home so far away Where sand was clean and white And she wonders if he really knows If he believes the lie The truth was in her eyes Whats in between your thighs? And if you don't, You don't say something I'll say something Someone's gotta say it soon x4

The lyrics are a modified version of Emily Dickinson beautiful poem "If I Should Die" If I should die and you should live And time should gurgle on And morn should beam and noon should burn As it has Always done If the barrow keeps on burning If smoke rings should still blow I wont shed a single tear Watching from below I'm not sure, I can't really tell If all of my friends can meet and play in hell I've fallen so far, i'm not sure where I fell We must never meet again just know I wish you well 'Tis sweet to know my home will stand When we with daisies lie Will they play my instruments And keep my pets alive? May parting be tranquil May soul be serene When the sun comes crashing down On all my hopes and dreams I'm not sure, I can't really tell If all of my friends can meet and play in hell I've fallen so far, i'm not sure where I fell We must never kiss again just know I'll miss you, know I wish you well

I felt summer flying by, I've felt winter taking hold The hardest harvest of my life, a harvest of my soul I'm growing old before i know we'll all be buried in the snow A bitter cold this Californians never known if you had followed me you know I would have followed you Down any dim lit avenue tried any drug that you might do my love for you is all i knew my love for you is all i knew I't doesn't matter if it true x2 You'll live for it and you'll die for it And you'll fuck for it and lie for it It doesn't matter if it true x2 You'll need for it and you'll bleed for it And you'll kill for it if you believe in it It doesn't matter if it true x2 I saw the ending coming neigh, I felt winter taking hold I saw the angels in the sky, a harvest of my soul I'm growing old before I know we'll all be buried in the snow A bitter cold this Californians never know The crazy things that I would do The promises I'd break for you The things that people put you through The things that people put you through I't doesn't matter if it true x2 You'll live for it and you'll die for it And you'll fuck for it and lie for it It doesn't matter if it true x2 You'll need for it and you'll bleed for it And you'll kill for it if you believe in it It doesn't matter if it true x2

The wolf is hiding in the sheep And seeks to eat them while they sleep Your tongue is poison on your teeth While eating cake and sipping tea The embers yellow in the pot The hateful thoughts were burning hot To bow to dogs and pray to frauds To melt the gold to make a god The dancers are dancing and the rhythm is murder See you standing in the corner of a crowded theater I see computer reactions, I see complex equations Watching life from the window of my orbital station The wolf is hiding in the street It's slow to creep and never free The product robs your feet from sleep Compelled to dance you feed the scene The embers yellow in the pot The hateful thoughts were burning hot To bow to dogs and pray to frauds To melt the gold to make a god The dancers are dancing and the rhythm is murder See you standing in the corner of a crowded theater I see computer reactions, I see complex equations Watching life from the window of my orbital station Of my orbital station Of my orbital station

Five years in a post-apocalyptia Three years in a concentration camp Four years of crippling dystopia A whole life to make it count I know i'm old for this material I am incapable of math I know terrorist threats are serious Gay sex at astro camp I am a detriment to Other students education I will never contribute Artists will bleed this nation Dry, I cry I want fly my kite and get paid to do whatever I feel like The office is only a few blocks away From my apartment building So I can get that government plastic Fill my fridge to the ceiling Always wanted to be an astronaut Long division had to stop me One day i'm gonna sell a record Till then i'm serving coffee I am a detriment to Other students education I will never contribute Artists will bleed this nation Dry, I cry I want to ride my bike And get paid to go wherever I feel like I am a detriment to Other students education I will never contribute Artists will bleed this nation Take it from me Don't you be a worker bee When you can eat up all that honey All for free

I wanna ride the coast again Salty air good for my skin And i'm not sure if it's a sin The smoke in my lungs is my best friend So hide the drugs And clear my name Put me on an aeroplane It's time to leave the U.S.A. Before I go insane One day you will regret our friendship One day you'll need to realize I am only a mortal man One day i'm gonna make you cry I wanna ride the coast again Salty air good for my skin And I don't care if it's a sin The drink in my glass is my best friend So take the drugs And clear my name Put me on an aeroplane It's time to leave the U.S.A. Before I go insane One day you will regret our friendship One day you'll need to realize I am only a mortal man One day i'm gonna make you cry

There's places I should be Out in the streets there girls to meet There's food out there to eat Records to beat and yet I sleep Twenty twenty twenty two years Trapped in my bedroom A prisoner of my fears Or just a little late to bloom I huff and puff the day away The kids my age have gone away It looks like i am here to stay Make a change one day but not today No not today x4 Little oyster boy inside my shell Afraid to ride the swell In between bookshelves No room for no one else I huff and puff the day away The kids my age have gone away It looks like i am here to stay Make a change one day but not today No not today x4 Your mother fills the carpet full of holes The couch has molded to her form Her roots are deep inside your home Try not to fill them when shes gone Sometimes you've got to grind To sharpen up before you die To find your peace of mind Or kill yourself while killing time Don't waste you're time x4

The trees they grew so tall I climbed the trunk so high The leaves were white and frosty Even in July Some will come from Oregon Some from Mexico My doctor says I'll never heal This life is all I'll know Molly was a dancer We danced the night away Lucy was a painter Left me feeling rather gray The road fell out before me It blew my mind away My baby stands beside me She reminds me every day The devils a deceiver Spreading viscous lies The things they say about my love They make me want to cry But me and mine know better We took the time to know I'd spread the seeds for lovely trees Most anywhere I'd go Molly was a dancer We danced the night away Lucy was a painter Left me feeling rather gray The road fell out before me It blew my mind away My baby stands beside me She reminds me everyday You would like it if you tried it too Do you do everything they tell you to? x3

You and I we should have tried So many times before And I cant deny sometime tonight That ill be at your door You were born for a different generation The bright lights they burn your eyes You should have ruled the world by now This isn't what you had in mind This black cloud has covered up city And your love it is burning its burning its burning The comedown lower than expected You and I are lost at sea I wanna show you something No one's ever seen before I want you to really, really know me No one really knows me any more You and I we should have died So many times before And I can't deny sometime tonight I'll be at your door But this time it's different I feel it, I sense it expect it The moment its turning and burning And we keep on drinking And dancing and singing The message their sending an era is ending There's no sense resisting Wont you please just kiss me Or beat me decide it Destroy me I like it I swear I won't fight it I'm lonely tonight and Attentions attention attentions attention I don't want to be alone When the stars fall from sky And I don't want to be alone When I have to say goodnight tonight goodnight goodnight goodnight

So far away Where no one knows my name No one to blame I ran away today Nine hundred miles away The pain remains Inside my brain A broken state The road keeps winding On and on And on Avalon is so long gone I'll make the great One day I say I play my games I waste away I will not slave No not today I cannot stay I cannot Stay This was my stone I called my home No place to call My lonely one When all I knew Was broken through My home was in my Tennis shoes The road keeps winding On and on And on Avalon is so long gone I'll make the great One day I say I play my games I waste away I will not slave No not today I cannot stay I cannot Stay
