Mrs. Tambourine

Hello, Mrs. Tambourine, you jus't don't understand
Asked if we could ever be friends again?
Hello, Mrs. Tambourine, oh baby, don't you cry
Just because I'm not with you all the time
But I still see the twinkles in your eyes
Saw your name wrapped in clouds in the sky
Familiar signals are all dressed in white
And I wonder if I'll ever be fine
Hello, Mrs. Tambourine, you made things such a mess
Getting kicked out of bars at 12am
Hello, Mrs. Tambourine, there's no need to aggress
Don't you shout and scream at all my friends
But I can't let you inside my heart
Even after we both grew apart
And I can't forgive the things that you've done
I just wonder if I'll ever be one
Hello, Mrs. Tambourine, why are you so upset?
You ripped my heart out and then you left
Was torn to pieces while I was out on my own
Hello, Mrs. Tambourine, there's nothing to regret
You're a girl I won't forget
And I'm still listening to hear you
You go

She Doesn't Care
03:16
|
|||
|
One, two, three...
Everyone is talking to her
But no one's really listening
The conversation, small talk
Just to get her tipsy face glistening
And all I do is sit and drink
And think of how to make her day
But everything she says
Makes me think we have nothing to say
I guess she doesn't care about me
I guess she won't remember what I say
She wants to show she's friendly
Turn around and walk away
And all your guy friends, who see you
Do they care about you like I do?
Or do they want that first-class ticket
To your bedroom?
It drives me crazy
That you have such a short attention span
That you can't just be honest
Tell me that you're not a fan
I guess she doesn't care about me
I guess she won't remember what I say
She wants to show she's friendly
Turn around and walk away
She doesn't care about me
I guess she won't remember what I say
But that sure won't stop me from
Coming back here anyway

I'm on the Run
02:33
|
|||
|
There ain't no place to run to
Nowhere to go
I once found my place inside, of you
A place to call my own
Leave my girl 'cause she's too upset
Leave my shitty job
When I'm on the road
I don't get calls from my mom
I'm on the run
I'm on the run
Run
Oh yeah, now you're in my head
Come and take my hand
You heard exactly what she said to you
Now you understand
I'm on the run
I'm on the run
Run
I'm not the one to care, baby
But my love's on line
I'm both trash and class, we get together
All of the time
I'm on the run
I'm on the run
Run
Run
Run

Doing Nothing
02:53
|
|||
|
All my friends seem perfectly content
Sitting 'round, and never making plans
So please don't keep me waiting for an answer
When the answer is always "sorry, man"
So I'm stuck
Every single night
Wondering why
We never go too far
But then again
I know we all have jobs
Where we meet people
That aren't at the bar
Staying home and doing nothing (Staying home, going out)
Going out and doing nothing (Doing nothing)
Is it all so hard? Being so lethargic
You can go and live your life (Go live your life)
Don't get me wrong, I like to watch this show
Play this game, every now and then
It just sucks that this is all we do
Just relaxing time and time again
There's nothing to do around here
That doesn't involve whores and beers
So we're...
Staying home and doing nothing (Staying home, going out)
Going out and doing nothing (Doing nothing)
Is it all so hard? Being so lethargic
You can go and live your life (Go live your life)
Staying home and doing nothing (Staying home, going out)
Going out and doing nothing (Doing Nothing)
Is it all so hard? Being so lethargic
You can go and live your life (Go live your life)
Staying home and doing nothing (Staying home, going out)
Going out and doing nothing (Doing Nothing)
Staying home and doing nothing (Staying home, going out)
Going out and doing nothing (Doing nothing)

Archie
02:11
|

Archie, get in the house
I'm sick of you barking up my tree
Keep your racket in your backyard
Why won't he go in
Patience growing thin
Archie, go get a job
Read a book, find a hobby
The chipmunks have business to tend to now
Something isn't right
Barking day and night
Something isn't right
Barking day and night
Now look what you do
My dog's barking too
Archie, get in the house

Therapy and drugs
Can't remember what they said to me
But I know it wasn't much
8 pills a day
That's what they say
I'm on medication I can't spell
But I feel like shit anyway
Yeah, I'm a wreck
Yeah, I'm a mess
Leave me alone
No need to tell me I'm depressed
So broken and alone
No need to distract yourself
When all you do is bitch and moan
I need a drink (I need a drink)
That's what I think (That's what I think)
Waking up, and I'm still fucked up
To wash my hair in the bathroom sink
Yeah, I'm a wreck
Yeah, I'm a mess
Leave me alone
Get away before I get pissed
Yeah, I'm a wreck
Yeah, I'm a mess
Yeah, I'm a wreck, wreck
Wreck, wreck, wreck

Every Night I Drink
02:21
|
|||
|
Every night I drink
I don't know when I fell asleep
But I do know what dumb videos I watched
Zoned out in my bed
Half-empty heaven in my hand
My laptop slowly warming up my crotch
It helps me sleep
And I'm just bored
I get my benefits tomorrow
And I want to treat myself
It helps me sleep
And I'm just bored
I don't know if I want this job
I'll wait for something else
Every night I drink
At shows and parties I forget
Every great experience I had
All those conversations
Even shows with the band
I don't believe you when
You say we weren't bad
Self-destructive tendencies
And hindsight never mix
This is a problem
That I know I can fix
But it helps me sleep
And I'm just bored
This party sucks so
I'll pretend that it's more fun
It helps me sleep
And I'm just bored
Fun and happy first
Then sick or sad when I am done
Every night I'd smoke
And play computer games all day
Eat a bag of cheetos on my own
Unconstantly unmotivated
Sleepy stoney mess
At least I wasn't getting drunk alone
But it helps me sleep
And I'm just bored
Take a shot, beer, and chip
Now back to feeling like a slob
It helps me sleep
And I'm just bored
One vice to another
Just so I can get a job
Every night I drink

Parasite

I'm deep inside your mind
I'm with you all the time
I'll never let you go
I'm just your parasite
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
I'm deep inside your mind
I'm with you all the time
I'll never let you go
I'm just your parasite

Disappointed
03:14
|
|||
|
Suddenly
Here you are, there I am
But do I really know what you're thinking?
I've been drinking
But sometimes things just happen
So I try to do my best to clear my mind
That just fills my head
With further doubt
That I might not see you again
After the kiss on my way out
The reason why I thought you cared
And now I don't
Is the difference between
Smart guys and the wise
I guess I'll come to terms with how I care
And you won't
Disappointed
But not surprised
I assume every day of my life
That I'm just wasting your time
And you don't care
Do I dare?
Gain the confidence to feel just fine
And rid myself of thoughts of you
Or anything resembling
A chance at someone else
But that doesn't mean a thing
If I'm not happy with myself
The reason that your love
Makes me feel so overwhelmed
Is because I never had
The chance to try
I guess I overthink
At least as far as I can tell
Disappointed
But not surprised
The reason that your love
Just makes me feel so overwhelmed
Is because I never had
The chance to try
I guess I overthink
At least as far as I can tell
Disappointed
But not surprised
Not surprised
Not surprised
Not surprised

You Don't Know Me
02:03
|
|||
|
There's nothing like a
Healthy dose of reality
Your words don't always hurt me
But they pain me to see
You're really just a tyrant using your
Power at will
Just let me teach you how to sit back
Relax, and chill
(Hey, hey!)
(Hey, hey!)
Your future's in a Starbucks
And you sleep on a floor
Why aren't you back on the streets
If you're that so fucking poor
You're probably good for nothing
Except play that guitar
But being such an asshole
Won't take you too far
(Hey, hey!) Ain't it crazy to see?
(Hey, hey!) 'Cause you don't know me
(Hey, hey!) Ain't it crazy to see?
(Hey, hey!) 'Cause you don't know me
Just keep my name inside your mouth now
Settle the score
How about you do some research
Before you come back for more?
And somehow you're the one to play me up
Play me like a fool
Just let me tell you what's up
You're not that fucking cool

I think it's about the time for you to
Take the longest walk off the shortest cliff, you see
There's your problem
You just forgot me
You're not useless, you're just bad
I seem like the likely lad
To sick another's teeth into your neck
After all that you never ever ever did to me
I can't escape (There's no escape)
There's no escape
Did I make you into that?
Probably not, I wasn't as significant to you
As I thought, it's another life
Another chance for a better wife
Let me sing the song, you regret you bought
Time to drag and drop, press 7, and you throw it all away
All that I cared for
I can't escape (There's no escape)
There's no escape (There's no escape)
Come on, now!
